Yixiu is reborn, fights against her elder sister, and becomes the queen mother

Broken Yuxuan

Li Jingui's personal maid Qiuyu knocked on the door of Suiyuxuan with a secret letter she wrote to Zhen Huan.

It happened that today was Zhen Huan's day to sleep with the emperor, so Huanbi was left behind to keep watch.

Huanbi heard someone knocking on the door and quickly stood up, yawning. After opening the door, she found that it was Gui Changzai's maid Qiuyu. She said with displeasure, "Our young master is going to the bed tonight. If Gui Changzai has anything to say, let's talk about it another day!"

Qiuyu knew that her young mistress was not well-liked, so she did not care at all about Huanbi's dislike for her.

With a smile on her face, she handed the letter in her hand to Huanbi and said helplessly, "My young master is fine. This is a letter from her to your young master. If your young master comes back, it will be the same if you read it again!"

Huanbi couldn't help but frown, and Qiuyu could only say, "Sister, please have some pity on me for once! My young mistress has become crazy these days for some reason! Sister, just take this thing, otherwise I'm afraid I'll be punished when I go back!"

Huanbi was finally moved with compassion. She accepted the letter and sent Qiuyu away.

After she closed the door, Liu Zhu heard the noise outside and came out.

While rubbing her hands, she asked Huanbi, "Who was that person outside just now?"

Huanbi snorted, "Who else could it be? It must be that crazy Concubine Gui from this morning! Our young lady doesn't even know her. She suddenly comes over and tries to get close to us. I don't know what she's thinking!"

In Huanbi's heart, Concubine Gui is not a good person at all!

I didn't see her when my young master was out of favor. Now that my young master is in favor, she is pleading for my young master and delivering letters at night. Who knows what An is thinking?

Huanbi casually placed the letter on Zhen Huan's dressing table and continued to keep watch.

Gyeongin Palace

"Empress, before she died, Concubine Gui had her personal maid, Qiuyu, deliver a letter to Concubine Wan."

Xiudong's voice was low and no emotion could be heard from it.

Yixiu paused, lowering her eyes and saying sternly, "Do you know what's in the letter?"

Xiudong shook her head and said, "Qiuyu is also following the orders of Concubine Gui. She has been controlled by this servant, but she knows nothing!"

Yixiu rubbed her brows and sat down in front of the dressing table. She thought for a moment and said, "Wan Chang will be in the emperor's chamber tonight, so there shouldn't be many people in Sui Yu Xuan. You should find a way to find this letter in Sui Yu Xuan before dawn."

Xiudong bowed and said, "I understand."

This sudden change made Yixiu feel a little uneasy. Would Li Jingui write something inappropriate in the letter?

Yixiu forced herself to calm down. She had experienced so many ups and downs before, so what could a mere Li Jingui do now?

She looked at herself in the mirror, her fair fingers stroking the bronze mirror, "In this life, no one can stand in my way!"

But after Xiudong and others searched for the whole night, the letter seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

When Zhen Huan returned from her night visit, Liu Zhu waited on her while saying, "My lady, Gui Chang brought you something last night. I think she left it on the dressing table!"

As she said that, she went to search the cabinet on the dressing table, but there was nothing there.

Zhen Huan didn't expect that Concubine Gui would actually give her something in the middle of the night. She looked at Liu Zhu who was rummaging around and said:

"We must find this thing. Concubine Gui looks crazy and may not do anything wrong! Now she has offended the Queen and Concubine Xian. I hope there is nothing shameful in this letter!"

Zhen Huan has no intention of fighting in the harem, she just wants to spend the rest of her life in peace in the palace.

Liu Zhu looked around but still couldn't find her. Helplessly, she could only go and call Huanbi.

"Huanbi, where did you put the things that Concubine Gui gave to the young lady yesterday?"

Huanbi had been keeping watch all night and had just fallen asleep, but now Liuzhu woke her up. Huanbi's face was full of impatience.

"I left it on the dresser! How could you have such a big eye for such a letter?"

But when Huanbi went to look for it herself, she still couldn't find the letter.

Liu Zhu said, "Huanbi, maybe you forgot where you put it last night? Think about it!"

Huanbi was also anxious. "What do you mean by that? What do you mean I lost it? Who knows, someone might have come to your room at night and taken your things! In my opinion, we should call everyone in Suiyuxuan to investigate together!"

Seeing the two people arguing, Zhen Huan quickly scolded them, "Shut up! Do you want to make this known to everyone?"

As they were talking, Jianqiu came to Suiyuxuan with a bunch of supplements.

Liuzhu and Huanbi couldn't help but feel a little flustered. Zhen Huan calmed them down with her eyes, then walked out the door with a smile.

"Why is Aunt Jianqiu here so early in the morning?"

Jianqiu smiled and bowed to Zhen Huan. "This servant pays her respects to Concubine Wan. She has been serving the Emperor these days. The Empress, out of consideration for your hard work, has specially gifted you these supplements!"

Zhen Huan also thanked her very politely, "I thank the Queen for her gift! I will go and thank you in person later! Aunt, you have worked hard. Why don't you sit down for a while and have some tea before leaving? Go and pour her a cup of tea!"

Jianqiu knew why she came here. She paused and suddenly said, "Just now I vaguely heard a quarrel in the maid's room! They seemed to be talking about Gui Maid and the letter or something like that!"

Zhen Huan clutched the handkerchief tightly, but her face remained calm.

"Nothing! Maybe Auntie heard it wrong! Auntie has worked so hard in serving the Empress, so I'll give you these little things as a gift to show my filial piety!"

Zhen Huan took out a gold bracelet from her sleeve and put it into Jianqiu's hand.

Jianqiu silently took the bracelet, smiled faintly, then bowed to Zhen Huan and said goodbye.

Zhen Huan had just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Xiao Yunzi come in panicking and say, "My lady, something bad has happened. Concubine Gui committed suicide last night!"

With a thud, Zhen Huan dropped the teacup to the ground.

Cui Jinxi didn't know what was going on. She squatted down, put away the teacup, and whispered comfortingly, "My lady, don't worry. This Concubine Gui has no contact with you! When she was in the palace, she always stayed in the courtyard alone, claiming to be sick, and never interacted with anyone. What happened yesterday was probably just a coincidence! You don't have to worry!"

But Zhen Huan's heart was beating non-stop. Gui Chang sent her a letter in the evening, but she was gone this morning.

Is there any connection? What exactly is written in the letter?

Although Zhen Huan also trusted Cui Jinxi, Huanbi and Liuzhu grew up with her after all.

She secretly told Huanbi and Liuzhu to find the letter secretly and not to tell anyone!
