Xia Dongchun from Legend of Zhen Huan: I want to live till the last episode

"What do you mean?" Hua Fei's attention was indeed drawn away. She turned her eyes and said, "Could it be that the old lady Queen deliberately set up this trap? Is that Qi Ling actually hers?"

Concubine Cao breathed a sigh of relief. No matter who the woman belonged to, it didn't matter who she belonged to. After all, Qi Ling was beaten to death and there was no evidence. So, whoever she said she belonged to was the woman, right?

“Although I am not sure, I know that this is by no means accidental. I have been following Your Majesty and being loyal to Her since I entered the palace. Ever since Concubine Li was banished to the cold palace, I am the only one who is loyal to Your Majesty. The people behind this plot must want to alienate me and Your Majesty. Your Majesty must not fall into their evil scheme.” Concubine Cao was very nervous, fearing that Concubine Hua would not believe her and would hold her captive.

Hua Fei also suspected that it was the Queen who set this up. She frowned and thought for a moment, "It must be that old woman! She is jealous of the Emperor's favor towards me, and keeps putting people around him. Now she has come up with such a vicious way to harm me!"

When Concubine Cao heard her words, she knew that she would not keep harassing her for a while, and she felt a little relieved.

"Just wait, I will never suffer this loss in silence!" Concubine Hua gritted her teeth.

After coming out of the Yiku Palace and walking on the palace road, Concubine Cao's legs were weak and her back was covered with cold sweat.

Yinxiu supported her and said, "My lady, no matter what, we have finally brought the princess back."

Speaking of this, Concubine Cao finally smiled: "Yes, fortunately Wen Yi is back."

"My lady, let's go back quickly. The princess has already gone back, so let's go back and see her too." Yinxiu persuaded her, and the master and servant went back to Qixiang Palace together.

After Qi Ling was beaten to death, Xia Dongchun promoted another palace maid named Yin Zhu to serve her.

Yin Zhu was quite dedicated and didn't talk much. He just followed instructions and would never make decisions on his own without Xia Dongchun's instructions.

Xia Dongchun was quite satisfied with this.

The next few days were relatively peaceful and nothing happened for the time being.

Until the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Everyone gathered together for the Mid-Autumn family dinner, except for Shen Meizhuang and Concubine Qi who were still under house arrest, everyone else was there.

An Lingrong finally caught Yinzhen's eye during this period, and she also knew that Yinzhen loved to listen to her singing, so at this Mid-Autumn family dinner, she sang "Bodhisattva Man" again. After the song, looking at Yinzhen's satisfied eyes, An Lingrong also smiled.

Zhen Huan found it a bit irritating, but she also felt that she shouldn't think about An Lingrong like that, so she simply turned a blind eye and went out under the pretext of changing clothes.

Unexpectedly, not long after she came back, she heard that Princess Wen Yi had vomited milk again.

Concubine Cao left the table early.

Zhen Huan frowned, feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. Just at this moment, Noble Lady Fucha spoke and interrupted her thoughts.

"Your Majesty, could you please have someone replace the wine on my table? I am not suitable to drink now." Noble Lady Fucha said.

"Oh?" Yinzhen looked over and said, "You can drink, don't avoid it."

Noble Lady Fucha smiled and said, "I can drink, but the imperial physician said that pregnant women should not drink."

"what?"

Noble Lady Fucha's words were like a bolt from the blue, and everyone looked over.

Hua Fei’s eyes were the sharpest.

How come everyone can have children, but she can't!

"Are you telling the truth?" Yinzhen asked.

"It is absolutely true. The imperial physician has checked and said that I have been pregnant for nearly three months. I am not like some people who would fake a pregnancy to win favor." Noble Lady Fucha said sarcastically, and did not forget to taunt Zhen Huan, "Noble Lady Wan, don't you agree?"

Zhen Huan looked at her and said nothing.

The Queen was unhappy in her heart, but she still smiled and said to Yinzhen, "Your Majesty, can you bring the records from the Jingshifang for comparison?"

Yinzhen waved his hand and said, "Su Peisheng, bring the records from the Jingshifang and go get another imperial physician."

Su Peisheng responded, received the instructions and hurried to do the work.

Noble Lady Fucha touched her abdomen, with a smug look on her face.

Soon the imperial physician was invited and the records from the Jingshifang were also brought in. After comparing them, it was found that the time was indeed correct.

The imperial physician also said at this time: "Reporting to the emperor, Lady Fucha is indeed three months pregnant."

"Good!" Yinzhen laughed loudly, "The fact that we have many offspring is a blessing from God to our Qing Dynasty. Someone, please remove the wine from Noble Lady Fucha's table."

Then he turned to Noble Lady Fucha and said, "What would you like to drink? Ask them to change it for you."

"Anything is fine. I will obey the emperor." Noble Lady Fucha said shyly.

"Fox charmer! You're always good at seducing the Emperor." Concubine Hua cursed in a low voice.

Concubine Cao glanced at Concubine Hua and said nothing.

Xia Dongchun chuckled and whispered to Yun Ling, "Look, we should learn from Noble Lady Fucha. She waited for three months until the baby was established before she dared to tell everyone."

Yun Ling didn't say anything. She knew that Noble Lady Fucha's pregnancy was most likely not going to be saved.

But she definitely couldn't say this in such a crowded place. If she had to say it, she would have to wait until she got back and it was just her and Xia Dongchun alone.

After the Mid-Autumn family dinner ended, everyone left.

Xia Dongchun and Noblewoman Borjigit came out together. Noblewoman Borjigit sighed and said, "Noblewoman Fucha is also pregnant..."

Xia Dongchun knew that noble Borjigit was also a little anxious. She thought for a moment and said, "Sister is very blessed, so it will definitely happen. You can't be impatient about this kind of thing. If you are impatient, who knows who will take advantage of the opportunity to harm your sister."

The noble Borjigit held her hand and said with a smile, "I know, don't worry."

"But..." Noblewoman Borjigit looked around before speaking in a low voice, "Don't you think there's something wrong with Princess Wen Yi? Even if the princess is still young and weak, she shouldn't be sick every other day. I always feel like something is wrong."

Xia Dongchun didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but after Concubine Borjigit brought it up, she realized, "Yes, but I heard that Concubine Cao almost couldn't give birth to Princess Wen Yi, maybe that's why."

"I hope I'm overthinking it." If possible, Lady Borjigit would not want Princess Wen Yi to be forced to be involved in these dirty things at such a young age.

On the other hand, Zhen Huan and Noble Lady Borjigit had the same idea.

"Lingrong, do you think Princess Wen Yi is sick too often?" Zhen Huan asked casually.

An Lingrong curled her lips and said, "Sister, have you also noticed something is wrong? I heard that there was a concubine in the previous dynasty who, in order to win the emperor's favor, would often deliberately make her baby feverish in order to attract the emperor's attention."

"..." Zhen Huan was silent for a moment, "I hope we are overthinking it."

As the two were talking, they didn't notice that Huanbi, who was following behind them, had a strange look in her eyes.
