The Rebirth of Li Fei: The Strongest Palace Fighting System

Xia Dongchun's face turned ashen and he was shaking with anger, but he just gritted his teeth and remained silent, his eyes full of anger and unwillingness.

Concubine Hua turned to look at me, Zhen Huan, and Huanbi, with a hint of disdain and provocation in her eyes:

"Xiapin is guilty of insubordination, and you are not going to be easy to deal with. In this palace, it is best for you to behave yourself, otherwise, I will not show mercy. You should go and reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors."

"Your Highness is teaching us that the concubines should be cautious in what they say and do, and not dare to overstep the line in the slightest."

......

"Farewell to the noble concubine."

Concubine Hua's figure gradually disappeared into the distance, and the four of us slowly stood up.

Xia Dongchun was the first to be unable to suppress his dissatisfaction and muttered indignantly:

"Who the hell does she think she is? She actually dares to force me, a woman pregnant with the dragon heir, to go to Yikun Palace every day. This is outrageous!"

Upon hearing this, Zhen Huan and I exchanged helpless glances, which contained a deep tacit understanding between us.

Xia Dongchun was severely punished by Concubine Hua for her quick words, but now, she seems to have not learned her lesson and still speaks without restraint.

Xia Dongchun’s daily trip to Yiku Palace is no small matter, and the Huanyixiang is a hidden danger that cannot be ignored.

I was anxious and had to come up with a foolproof plan as soon as possible to protect her and Long Si's safety.

......

With confusion and anxiety in my heart, I hurried back to the Yanxi Palace.

"Xiao Tao, how can I stop the Huan Yi Xiang from harming Chi Xia Dong Chun without letting anyone else know that I know there's musk in the Huan Yi Xiang? Please help me ask the oleander elf."

"Okay, my lady..."

After saying that, Xiaotao closed her eyes and thought hard.

"My lady, the only person who can best help Xia Dongchun right now is the Emperor. But you can't tell the Emperor directly that you want to seek the Imperial Physician. After all, although everyone in the Imperial Hospital has the same tongue, everyone knows the secrets involved."

I shook my head slightly and said worriedly:

"Then if I rashly seek out the imperial physician, I'm afraid that wouldn't be a good idea, right?"

"My lady, don't worry. We can observe for a while. If Xia Dongchun shows any signs of abnormality, we can immediately seek the help of the imperial physician. It won't be too late. When the time comes, we can say that Xia Dongchun is suddenly unwell and needs a diagnosis from the imperial physician. This way, we won't arouse Concubine Hua's suspicion and will help Xia Dongchun at the same time."

I paced anxiously, my heart filled with worry for the fetus in Xia Dongchun's belly, and I couldn't help muttering to myself:

"Musk doesn't harm pregnant women immediately, so by the time it does, it might be too late... What should I do?"

Seeing how anxious I was, Xiao Tao quickly ran over, blinking her clever eyes and comforting me:

"My lady, don't worry about this. Let Xia Dongchun go for a few days. Xiao Tao has a solution!"

......

I finally survived five days of fear and anxiety.

Xia Dongchun also went to Yiku Palace for five consecutive days. I was worried about her, so I decided to go to the East Side Hall to see her in person.

When I walked into the east wing hall, I saw Xia Dongchun leaning on the couch, looking a little tired.

"Sister Xia, how are you doing lately? I'm six months pregnant now. You've been going to Yikun Palace for five consecutive days. Are you tired?"

When Xia Dongchun heard what I said, he sat up straight in anger and complained:

"You know I'm six months pregnant, but Concubine Hua doesn't know! Every day after paying respects at Jingren Palace, I have to stay at Yikun Palace and copy the "Women's Training" until the afternoon. Tell me, how can I not be tired?"

"Sister Xia, is there any other way to avoid leaving Yikun Palace?"

Xia Dongchun sighed and said helplessly:

"What can I do? Concubine Hua is determined to punish me. I'm just a concubine, so what can I do?"

"Has Concubine Hua always asked my sister to copy?"

Xia Dongchun nodded, his face full of grievance:

"That's right! I don't know when it will end. Concubine Hua always asks Song Zhi or Zhou Ninghai to watch over me. Song Zhi and Zhou Ninghai both know to take turns to rest, but I can't stop for a moment! This is really too much!"

While I was talking to Xia Dongchun, I secretly winked at Xiaotao. Xiaotao understood smartly and immediately took a step forward and gently tapped Xia Dongchun's belly.

Xia Dongchun was obviously startled by this sudden action. She was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise:

"Why is the baby in my belly moving so violently? It must be protesting!"

Seeing this, Xiao Tao pinched Xia Dongchun's abdomen with her hand. Xia Dongchun cried out in pain, with a painful expression on his face:

"It hurts! It hurts!"

Seeing this, I quickly stepped forward to support her and said with pretended concern:

"Why did Sister Xia suddenly have abdominal pain? This is not good, Baojuan, call the imperial physician immediately!"

Baojuan heard the voice, responded immediately, and left in a hurry.

Xia Dongchun said: "It shouldn't be a big deal, I just feel some pain."

I shook my head and said seriously:

"Sister Xia, I've been ordered to take care of your baby. If anything goes wrong, I can't bear the consequences. To be on the safe side, let's ask the imperial physician to come and take a look. If there really is a problem, it can be dealt with quickly."

Xia Dongchun nodded.

......

Not long after, the imperial physician Wei Lin hurried over. He first took Xia Dongchun's pulse and then said slowly:

"Empress Xia, Empress An, please rest assured. The fetus is fine and there's nothing serious going on. But... has Empress Xia taken anything recently?"

Xia Dongchun heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, but then became nervous again and asked:

"Doctor Wei, I haven't taken anything strange recently. My diet has been checked daily by Sister An, and the pregnancy-maintaining medicine has always been prescribed by you... Oh, right, could it be the food from Concubine Hua? I've been going to Yikun Palace every day for the past five days, and I've had lunch there! Could it be that Concubine Hua wants to harm me?"

Wei Lin was slightly startled when he heard this. His eyes flickered between me and Xia Dongchun, and then he asked:

"Empress An, has Empress Xia been in Yikun Palace for the past five days?"

I quickly took over the conversation and explained:

"Yes, Lord Wei may not know this yet. Concubine Hua has ordered Sister Xia to stay in the Yikun Palace from dawn to dusk every day to copy the 'Women's Instructions'. Although lunch is eaten in the Yikun Palace, I believe there won't be any problems. After all, Concubine Hua wouldn't be stupid enough to let her take the responsibility... Could it be... that she's exhausted?"

I paused deliberately and observed Wei Lin's expression. I saw that he was frowning and seemed to be thinking about something.

After a moment, he squeezed out a few words:

"Yes, it's just fatigue. It's nothing serious. Concubine Xia just needs to rest."

After hearing what Wei Lin said, Xia Dongchun did not look relieved, but became even more anxious:

"How can I rest? Concubine Hua will still make me go to Yikun Palace! What should I do?"
