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

The reason why Yixiu saved Huanbi's life was that she felt that Huanbi in this life had empathy with herself in the previous life.

In the previous life, because of Rouze's appearance, he suffered misfortune for the rest of his life.

Even though he later took action and sought justice for his child, Rouze was like a mountain looming over him, following him like a nightmare at all times.

Now, Yixiu doesn't ask Huanbi to thank her much, she just wants to have a clear conscience.

No one wants to live under the shadow of others forever. I hope Huanbi can be reborn from now on.

.........

Yikun Palace

Zhou Ninghai hurried to the inner hall, but when he saw Concubine Hua, he was deterred.

Concubine Hua glared at Zhou Ninghai and said in a deep voice, "What happened? Why are you so anxious?"

Zhou Ninghai's voice trembled as he spoke with a guilty conscience, "Huanbi... Huanbi from Suiyuxuan was ordered to be killed by the Empress. Has the Empress discovered that we ordered her to kill Concubine Wan?"

Upon learning that Huanbi was dead, Concubine Hua was also very surprised.

She pinched the handkerchief, lowered her brows and said, "Is it possible? No, this is impossible... ...Doesn't she want the tablet of that little bitch's mother anymore?"

Songzhi remained somewhat calm. "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Could it be that Huanbi committed suicide out of fear of punishment in order to conceal this matter? Given the Queen's temperament, if she had truly discovered our affair, she would have been waiting for someone to seal off the palace by now. It seems the Queen has no evidence at all."

Hua Fei thought about it and felt that what Song Zhi said made sense.

If the vicious Queen knew that she had used utensils used by plague patients to harm Concubine Wan, wouldn't she immediately have people seal off her own Yikun Palace and report the matter to the Emperor?

Since there is no news at present, it seems that the Queen has no real evidence.

But Concubine Hua still felt a little guilty. After turning around for a few times, she finally wrote a letter to her brother, otherwise she would feel uneasy.

After Hua Fei finished writing the letter, she handed it to Zhou Ninghai and repeatedly warned him, "Be careful, be careful, be careful. Don't let anyone get hold of anything in this matter, or you'll lose your head."

Zhou Ninghai raised his head and said with a firm look, "I will definitely not disappoint the Empress Hua Fei's trust."

Concubine Hua breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, she remembered something and anxiously asked Songzhi, "Songzhi, how is Doctor Jiang doing?"

Songzhi saw the anxiety in Hua Fei's heart. She stood up and stepped forward to press Hua Fei's shoulders, while urging her to relax and comforting her:

"Your Majesty, don't scare yourself yet. The secret communication between our palace and the outside world has always been handled by General Nian and Prince Dun. The people they use are also left behind by Prince Dun's mother, Concubine Wenxi. There will definitely be no mistakes."

Although Concubine Hua was not so nervous anymore, she still felt uneasy for some reason, and had a vague feeling that something big was going to happen.

After Zhou Ninghai handed the letter to a palace maid, Yixiu's men followed.

He followed them all the way, but the more he followed, the more shocked he became. He was almost discovered.

Seeing that something was not right, he quickly retreated and reported the matter to Xiudong.

Upon seeing Xiudong, the eunuch Zhao Gui kowtowed to her and said, "Aunt, I have made a great discovery. This matter involves too many deep and wide-ranging issues. I dare not take it lightly. I can only withdraw and report this matter to the young lady. I am afraid that this matter still requires the instructions of the Empress."

Xiudong frowned. She had always handled such matters in secret, and after years of training, no emotion could be heard in her voice.

Most of the palace maids and eunuchs chosen by him to be spies were quite capable, and this Zhao Gui was a rare and clever man. What on earth was going on that scared him so much?

"What happened?"

Zhao Gui's eyes darkened. "I followed that eunuch to the Imperial Household Department. The news had already spread, but I didn't expect to discover a big secret. There must be a secret way to transmit information in this palace. It can't even be called a way, let alone news. Even living people can be transported in and out."

"what?"

Even Xiudong, who had been trained, was shocked.

If Empress Yixiu wanted to get Huanbi out, she had to make Huanbi fake her death first, and then get her past the layers of guards in the palace before she could get her out.

But Concubine Hua actually has a way to make a living person disappear in the palace without anyone noticing, or to perform a magic trick on a living person in the palace?

To put it bluntly, if an assassin sneaks in, then...

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiudong felt a little regretful. No matter how bad the matter was, she should not show her fear in front of others.

She calmed herself down and said calmly, "Okay, I know about this. Have you been discovered?"

Zhao Gui shook his head, and Xiudong asked Zhao Gui some other questions. After getting accurate information, Xiudong sent Zhao Gui away and quickly reported the news to Jingren Palace.

Gyeongin Palace

When Yixiu heard the news brought by Xiudong, she was so shocked that she stood up.

Nian Gengyao, are you planning to rebel together with Prince Dun?

In the previous life, although she was the queen, the emperor still trusted Zhen Huan to deal with Concubine Hua.

Although he knew that Nian Gengyao and Prince Huo Tongdun had rebellious intentions, he did not expect that the matter had reached such a serious level.

Jian Qiu suggested, "Your Majesty, this is a serious matter. Why don't we tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about this news first?"

Yixiu shook her head, her brows solemn. "Don't alert the enemy yet. Summoning the Crown Prince to the palace right after Huanbi's death might be foolish of Concubine Hua, but the Nian family is not. We must carefully consider this matter."

At the same time, Yixiu also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she did not act impulsively at the beginning. Because of the imperial edict of Emperor Kangxi, she did not go so far as to challenge the emperor.

It seems that the battle for the throne among the nine princes back then still has hidden dangers.

Jianqiu saw that cold sweat was already beading on Yixiu's forehead, so she quickly poured her a bowl of hot tea.

"My Lady, what should we do now?"

Yixiu had some tea. She opened the tea bowl, blew on it gently, took a sip, and felt the heat spreading all over her body.

She first allowed herself to slowly calm down, then said, "We'll see what happens. How's the matter with the prescription going? There's no rush for this."

Xiudong replied, "Everything is under the control of Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"That's good. Even so, we still need to be extra careful."

Yixiu turned her head and looked back at the Jingren Palace. If you want to become the crown, you must bear its weight.

No matter how difficult or dangerous the road ahead is, Yixiu is not afraid.
