Quick Wear: After Revenge, I and the Immortal King Renew Our Relationship

Xiao Cui was seriously injured that day and could not move much, so she stayed in Qingwang Pavilion next to the Imperial Garden.

Qingwang Pavilion is located in a remote area. It was originally just a temporary attic for resting. It is not very big and is enough for one person to live in.

An Yan led everyone here. There was no one guarding the door. Only Eunuch Wang was hiding from the sun under the bamboo forest not far away.

When Eunuch Wang saw them, he was about to greet them, but An Yan raised her index finger and made a "hush" sound. He immediately understood and bowed silently to greet them.

Two voices were heard from inside the room, separated only by a door, so they were very clear.

Everyone outside the house fell silent.

"Xiao Cui, does your wound still hurt? Why are you so stupid? I arranged those assassins. I wanted to use this opportunity to hold the Imperial Concubine accountable and take back the Phoenix Seal. But the Tianshan Snow Lotus is in the Imperial Concubine's hands. What a pity."

What? What did they hear?

Everyone looked at An Yan with a serious expression, and their previous envy and jealousy turned into pity.

Xiao Cui's voice was filled with tears. "It was all my recklessness that disrupted your plans. But when I saw an assassin trying to kill you, I was so worried that I rushed over without thinking."

"I know, I know everything. You just love me too much. This harem is full of hypocrisy. Although I have many concubines, they are all after my status and power. Only you treat me sincerely."

The handkerchief in Defei's hand was twisted into a ball. They had followed him since he was a down-and-out prince, accompanied him through all the difficulties, and used all their family's strength to support him to ascend to the throne. Now they said that it was all insincere, which made her almost laugh.

"Do you still remember? When we first met, you thought I was a bullied eunuch. You thoughtfully gave me some snacks to eat. You didn't look down on me at all and even comforted me."

It seems that he really means it, and he doesn't even need to refer to himself as "I", which makes him feel superior.

"Isn't it because you were so pitiful that day? You said you were serving the Empress Dowager, and when you did something wrong, you were punished by her and didn't even have food to eat. How could I bear it? So I secretly brought some cakes from my master... Noble Lady He."

Concubine He was furious. No wonder she always ate less. She was of low rank and her share was not much. She thought that the imperial concubine had withheld her food, but she didn't expect that an internal traitor had taken it to make a living.

"You are so bad! You always appear in such a pitiful state, either punished by the Imperial Concubine or scolded by the Virtuous Concubine. You always lie to me."

"Xiao Cui, if you didn't say that, how would I know you were so kind? I promise I will never lie to you again."

"Really?"

"Yes! I will definitely keep my promise to you. One day I will make you my queen and share the world with me."

Empress! It would be a lie for the concubines to say they hadn't considered the position of Empress. But now, it was so easily given to a maid, and their hearts were burning with anger.

Defei, who had the worst temper, reached out to push the door open, but was stopped by An Yan, who shook her head and motioned her to continue listening.

Defei took a deep breath and managed to hold it in. She also wanted to know what other "heartfelt words" he could say.

"Of course I believe you, Xiao Yangzi. But I don't have a distinguished family background, stunning looks, or extraordinary talent. How can I be your queen?"

"Silly girl, just stay in the palace and wait. I will make all the arrangements. Don't believe the rumors in the palace about who I favor. I favor concubines because I need the influence of their families. For example, once I get rid of the general, the imperial concubine will no longer be a concern."

"Before that, the Imperial Concubine will be your shield. I'll stir things up a bit, and as long as they start fighting, you'll be safer if you keep a low profile."

An Yan glanced at everyone's expressions. Very good, the goal was achieved.

According to Xiao Rongzi's intelligence, Yuwen Yang had recently been frequently visiting Qingwang Pavilion, dismissing the servants and allowing the two of them to be alone. Palace maids passing by would often overhear embarrassing remarks.

An Yan deliberately brought all the concubines here to let them know Yuwen Yang's true lover and not to be fooled by the shield.

Xiao Cui wants to be promoted safely under her protection, but she’s dreaming!

Not wanting to continue listening to their disgusting sweet talk, An Yan turned around and left.

An Yan returned to Chengqian Palace and found that Defei and others were still following her. Seeing that they all had disgusted expressions and were in a dazed state as if they had swallowed a fly, it was not easy to just chase them away.

Only Zhong Xiu was indignant for An Yan. After all, she had never liked Yuwen Yang and was not sad at all.

De Fei asked the servants to leave before saying, "Noble Consort, what does the Emperor mean by that? Why didn't you let me ask him in person?"

"What he means is that in his eyes, we are all stumbling blocks to Xiao Cui's advancement and need to be eliminated." Concubine Qian said expressionlessly.

"Your Highness, are you okay?" Zhong Xiu looked at An Yan worriedly, as she showed no emotion.

An Yan raised her eyebrows slightly, "It's okay, I will take precautions in advance, but you should also be careful to avoid being taken advantage of by him."

Concubine De leaned back in her chair in a daze, like a salted fish that had lost its dreams.

"What's there to be sad about? I was just cheated by some scumbag, wasn't I?" Zhong Xiu said with a smile, holding his chin in his hand. "I've turned over some land in the palace and planted some fruits and vegetables. I'm living a carefree life."

"You are quite at ease."

Zhong Xiu said proudly, "That's because of the Imperial Concubine's care, I was able to realize my childhood dream of having money, land, and enough food and drink."

De Fei's emotions came and went quickly. She was very tempted. "Your Highness, can I have a bigger kitchenette?"

"Okay." An Yan agreed with a smile.

De Fei was excited. "Sister Xiu, our two palaces are close to each other. Why don't you open up the land in my palace as well? When it's ripe, give me some, how about that?"

"Okay." Defei pulled Zhong Xiu away in a hurry.

Seeing this, Concubine Yang asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, may I go to Wenyuan Pavilion more often?"

Wenyuan Pavilion is the library in the palace.

An Yan asked Xia Lian to hand over the key and token of Wenyuan Pavilion to Concubine Yang. After thanking her, she left happily.

Concubine Qian sighed, "It's a pity that business cannot be done in the palace. I want to make money."

An Yan thought for a moment and said, "How about I give you the account book of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and give you an extra salary?"

Concubine Qian was very excited. "Thank you, Your Majesty. Where's the account book? I'll take a look now!"

In the end, only Concubine He was left.

Concubine He forced a smile and said, "I don't have anything I want to do, so I'll take my leave."

"Mother is amazing! She effortlessly turned an enemy into a friend." Tuanzi exclaimed.

An Yan stretched lazily. "The Queen Mother and the concubines have all turned their backs on him. Who will be the next one?"
