The Rebirth of Li Fei: The Strongest Palace Fighting System

Stepping into the east wing hall of Xia Dongchun, the light inside the hall is soft, but it cannot hide the subtle tension in the air.

Xia Dongchun was sitting in front of the mirror with a look of anxiety and uneasiness on his face.

"Miss Xia, may you be safe and sound."

Wei Lin and I walked into Xia Dongchun's bedroom, only to see Xia Dongchun coming towards us with an anxious look on her face.

"Wei Lin, look at my face, what's going on?"

Wei Lin looked at it carefully and said slowly:

"It's okay, it's okay. Women's pregnancy symptoms vary depending on their constitutions. Lady Xia, there's no need to worry."

After hearing this, Xia Dongchun's brows did not relax, but became even more anxious:

"Not anxious? How could I not be anxious? If the emperor saw my face like this, what would I do? Would I fall out of favor?"

Seeing this, I quickly stepped forward to comfort him:

"Sister Xia, please be patient. Concubines are not allowed to sleep with the emperor during pregnancy. Maybe everything will be fine after Sister Xia gives birth to the prince."

Xia Dongchun looked at Wei Lin doubtfully:

"Will it really be okay in the future?"

Wei Lin nodded, his expression firm:

"Perhaps it's because Concubine Xia has a special constitution. Things that are beneficial to the fetus may not blend with Concubine Xia's skin. When the fetus is born, Concubine Xia's physical condition will definitely be different from what it is now, and this skin problem will definitely get better."

I took the opportunity to take over the conversation:

"Yes, the dragon fetus is more important now. Sister Xia, you still need to continue eating things that are good for the fetus. We can talk about everything after the dragon fetus is born."

After hearing this, Xia Dongchun still looked a little worried, but he obviously agreed with what we said and nodded slightly.

However, from her furrowed brows, it can be seen that she certainly does not want her face to continue like this.

......

Tonight, unexpectedly, the Emperor actually called my name, and instead of having me ride in the Fengluan Chun'en carriage to the Yangxin Palace as usual, he personally drove to the Yanx Palace.

When I received this good news from the Jingshifang, my heart was instantly filled with endless joy. I hurriedly began to prepare to dress up so that I could welcome the emperor's arrival in the most beautiful way.

However, just as I was immersed in joy and dressing up carefully, Songzhi from Hua Fei's Yiku Palace came to visit me at an inopportune time.

Songzhi, the most favored maidservant by Concubine Hua's side, always carried an air of arrogance that could not be ignored when she walked around. Although she was only a maidservant, she was arrogant and conceited towards everyone else in the palace except Concubine Hua.

"Greetings to Lady An. Our Concubine Hua will summon Lady An to the 'old place' tomorrow."

Although Songzhi greeted me, he just bowed and then whispered in my ear.

"Oh...Aunt Songzhi is here. What does Concubine Hua want to summon me for?"

"How could we, as servants, know about Her Majesty's affairs? My lady, please see Her Majesty in person tomorrow and then we can discuss it. My lady, you also know that it's not appropriate for a servant to stay in the Yanxi Palace for long. It's not good for others to see us. So, I'll take my leave now."

"Goodbye, aunt."

After saying that, Songzhi went back.

Within the palace walls, the sound of wind and rain is heard by everyone, especially the news about which concubine the emperor has chosen, which spreads very quickly. Now that I have been chosen by the emperor, this news must have already reached the ears of Concubine Hua.

Thinking that I might be summoned tomorrow, I couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Concubine Hua is narrow-minded and cannot tolerate the emperor going to other concubines. Now that I have won the emperor's favor, she will definitely be dissatisfied.

Concubine Hua will definitely give me a bad look tomorrow, and maybe even take the opportunity to make things difficult for me. Although I don't want to conflict with her, I have to be careful at every step in this palace. If I'm not careful, I could end up in an irretrievable situation.

Alas, life in this palace is so thrilling and like walking on thin ice.

......

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good fortune."

"Get up quickly."

As night fell, the emperor moved to my palace for a banquet. Su Peisheng led a large team of eunuchs, each holding exquisite dishes in their hands, following closely behind him, adding a bit of grandeur to the dinner.

After the emperor took his seat, he looked at me gently and said softly:

"You've certainly worked hard lately caring for Concubine Xia's dragon fetus. I've come to see you and have asked someone to prepare some extra dishes. Why don't you invite Concubine Xia from the East Wing Palace to come along so we can all gather together?"

I quickly stood up and told Baojuan who was standing beside me:

"Baojuan, go and ask Concubine Xia to come over."

Baojuan took the order and left. Not long after, Xia Dongchun, led by Baojuan, slowly walked into the hall.

Xia Dongchun was seen wearing a gorgeous palace dress and a white gauze scarf that covered most of her face, revealing only a pair of slightly nervous eyes. She stood at the door, hesitating and not daring to step into the hall.

The Emperor saw this and asked in a gentle voice with a look of curiosity and confusion:

"Lady Xia, why don't you come in? How can you eat with your veil on?"

"I am guilty of not taking good care of my appearance lately, and I fear I have disturbed Your Majesty."

"Oh? What happened? Come, take off your veil and let me see."

Xia Dongchun hesitated again and again, but finally could not resist the emperor's order, so she slowly raised her hand and took off her veil.

At that moment, everyone in the hall was shocked to see that Xia Dongchun's originally beautiful face was covered with dense red rashes, some of which had turned into pus and scabs, which looked particularly shocking. She was completely different from her former bright and beautiful face.

The emperor was obviously startled when he saw Xia Dongchun's face. His eyes revealed an unconcealable surprise and he quickly asked:

"How could this happen? Has the imperial physician come to treat you?"

Xia Dongchun bowed softly, with a hint of grievance and helplessness in his voice:

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Physician has come to see me. He said this is due to what I've eaten recently. I know full well that the dragon fetus is precious. To ensure the healthy growth of your bloodline, I have strictly followed the doctor's orders, taking all kinds of foods and supplements that are beneficial to the fetus. However, I never imagined that these foods, while beneficial to the dragon fetus, would have adverse reactions on my body, causing my face to look like this now."

Speaking of this, Xia Dongchun's eyes couldn't help but turn slightly red, tears welled up in her eyes, but she still forced herself not to let them fall.

After briefly comforting Xia Dongchun, the emperor involuntarily turned his gaze away, obviously not wanting to look at her rash-covered face anymore.

He sighed softly:

"I'm truly sorry for this, Lady Xia. I know you're thinking about the dragon fetus, and I appreciate your kindness."

"I thank Your Majesty for your understanding. As long as the dragon fetus is safe, I am willing to endure any hardship."

The emperor nodded, his tone was full of determination.
