The Rebirth of Li Fei: The Strongest Palace Fighting System

I was suddenly pulled out of my whirlwind of thoughts, realizing that I had been so preoccupied that I hadn't noticed what was going on around me. I quickly stood up and respectfully apologized to the Queen:

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't sleep well last night. I was distracted for a moment and failed to concentrate on listening to your teachings. This is truly my fault."

The Queen nodded slightly, motioning me to sit down. At this moment, Xiao Tao sneaked up on me and lowered her voice with a hint of anxiety in her tone:

"My lady, the Empress just mentioned Huanbi talking about Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang, and she even mentioned your close friendship with them! My lady, please be careful not to let others mistakenly think that you are in league with them!"

I couldn't help but gasp, and instantly understood the Queen's intention. She was deliberately involving me in an attempt to stir up suspicion and hatred in the harem.

"I also remember that the person who had the closest contact with Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Zhen in the past was Noble Lady An."

Concubine Qi still spoke without restraint.

"Your Majesty is absolutely right. As a newly promoted concubine and a member of the same Han army banner, I was indeed close to Consort Shen and Consort Zhen. However, since they were confined to their homes, and I was ordered to take care of Consort Xia's unborn child, I have no time to care for anything else."

The Queen said:

"The sisters in the six palaces should live in harmony. Although Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Zhen are under house arrest, they are still the emperor's concubines after all. What's wrong with getting closer? Moreover, Noble Lady An is already working hard to take care of Noble Lady Xia's dragon fetus. I forbid you to talk too much about Noble Lady An!"

"Yes, I will follow the Queen's instructions."

The Queen is truly amazing. It seems she is speaking for me, but in fact, her words are confirming my friendship with Shen and Zhen, which has deepened everyone's impression of me.

"Okay, let's go."

"I will take my leave."

......

Fortunately, I am currently a member of the Empress Hua's command. Although not noticed by everyone, Empress Hua knows it clearly in her heart.

If not for this, once the Queen's provocative words reached Concubine Hua's ears, I would have become a major concern for her.

Since the spirit of oleander has given me a mission to help Zhen Huan regain her position, I must plan carefully before I can act.

From the moment I returned from Jingren Palace and stepped into Yanx Palace, I knew I needed to plan carefully.

The flickering candlelight in the room illuminated my furrowed brow as I pondered in my mind how I could complete the task while protecting myself and ensuring Zhen Huan's restoration.

I recalled the Huanbi that Zhen Huan had mentioned, and a plan gradually came to my mind.

If she could really make use of Huanbi as Zhen Huan wished, she would not only be able to accomplish great things, but also be able to go with the flow and make everything seem natural and without leaving any trace.

Just as I was lost in thought, Xiao Tao's light footsteps interrupted my thoughts. She walked in quietly, holding a plate of snacks she had just stolen from the kitchenette, with a playful and proud smile on her face.

"My dear, what are you thinking about? Come, have some snacks. I saved some for you."

As she spoke, she handed the snacks to me. Her bright eyes seemed to be able to see through my thoughts, but she always maintained her innocence and loyalty.

I took the snack and a warm feeling welled up in my heart.

With Xiaotao by my side, even the thrilling days in the deep palace seem to bring a sense of warmth and comfort.

I gently pulled Xiaotao over and said in a low voice:

"Xiao Tao, can you please go ask the oleander fairy for me? If I want Huanbi to get pregnant, how many times will I need to sleep with her?"

When Xiao Tao heard this, a hint of surprise flashed across her face, and then she widened her eyes and asked curiously:

"My lady, are you hoping to get Huanbi pregnant so that Empress Zhen Huan can regain her position? But my lady, why don't you think about yourself? If you can conceive a dragon descendant, your position in the palace will be much more secure."

I sighed, shook my head, and said:

"The current situation is complicated, so I don't have the energy to think about these things. Besides, if I often sleep with the Empress Hua, and I'm pregnant, what will she think of me? I'm afraid she'll see me as a thorn in her side. I'm just a small noble now, and I need the protection of the Empress Hua to gain a foothold in the palace."

Xiao Tao nodded when she heard this, as if she understood my concerns. She thought for a moment and said,

"My lady, you are right. If you were pregnant now and your status is low, even if you gave birth to the child, you wouldn't be able to raise it with your own eyes. In this deep palace, people's hearts are unpredictable, so it's best to be cautious."

"Xiao Tao, can you help me ask the oleander fairy how many times Huanbi needs to sleep with him before she has a chance of getting pregnant?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaotao immediately closed her eyes, as if concentrating on communicating with the oleander elf.

After a while, she slowly opened her eyes, with a look of determination on her face, and whispered to me:

"My lady, the oleander spirit told me that Huanbi needs to sleep with you five times before she has a chance of getting pregnant."

I nodded slightly when I heard this, secretly thinking about the impact of this information on the plan.

After five nights in the emperor's bedchamber, it seems that some careful planning is needed to make everything look natural and inconspicuous.

I raised my head and looked at Xiaotao, a hint of determination flashed in my eyes:

"Okay, I understand. Next, we have to plan carefully how to make this go smoothly."

......

The next morning, I went to the Yangxin Palace to pay my respects to the Emperor.

Arriving outside the Yangxin Palace, I took a deep breath, adjusted my posture, and then slowly stepped forward and whispered to Su Peisheng who was waiting outside the door:

"Please inform me, sir."

Su Peisheng's face was filled with smiles when he heard this. He quickly bowed and saluted, then turned and walked into the hall. After a while, his shrill voice was heard:

"Your Majesty, Consort An has arrived."

The Emperor seemed to be busy reviewing memorials, but when he heard it was me, he paused for a moment, then a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his voice was gentle but powerful:

"Let her in."

......

"Your humble servant An Lingrong pays respect to His Majesty. Long live the Emperor."

The emperor raised his hand gently, his tone was gentle and anxious:

"Hurry up and get up. Have you thought of a way to help Zhen Da Ying?"

I thought to myself that the emperor was only thinking about Zhen Huan. When I came to pay my respects, he didn't even mention Xia Dongchun's dragon fetus. He was only concerned about Zhen Huan's situation.

I lowered my eyes slightly, concealing my thoughts, and answered softly:

"I, your humble servant, have come up with a plan, but I'm not sure if it's appropriate. Your Majesty, please make your decision."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor's eyes flashed with anticipation, and he leaned forward slightly, as if eager to know my answer:

"Oh? Tell me."

"The rule of the palace is to punish those who commit crimes. Sister Zhen has been placed under house arrest. If it were to be lifted hastily, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the six palaces. I'm afraid that everyone will disregard the rules and no longer take them to heart."
