The Rebirth of Li Fei: The Strongest Palace Fighting System

Facing Xia Dongchun's worries, I knew very well that Concubine Hua's order was indeed not something that Wei Lin and I could easily change.

So I tried my best to comfort her:

"Since Lord Wei said it's nothing serious, then it's probably nothing serious. Sister Xia, don't worry. I think Concubine Hua will be tired in a few days, and she won't torture you like this anymore."

After hearing what I said, Xia Dongchun's expression eased a little, but he still looked helpless and sad:

"Oh, I hope so. But these days are really hard to endure."

I patted her shoulder gently, comforted her again, then turned and winked at Wei Lin.

Wei Lin immediately understood and nodded in agreement. But Xia Dongchun was still angry and didn't notice anything unusual between us.

So I took the opportunity to say:

"Master Wei, I've been feeling a little unwell lately. Since you've come to Yanxi Palace, please move to my west side hall and check my pulse."

Upon hearing this, Wei Lin immediately agreed respectfully.

At this time, Xia Dongchun was immersed in his own troubles and did not doubt what I said.

So, Wei Lin and I said goodbye to Xia Dongchun and left the east wing of the Yanx Palace.

......

The moment I stepped into the west wing hall, Wei Lin saluted me quickly and respectfully:

"Madam An, you have summoned me here. What urgent matter is there?"

I motioned for him to sit down, a faint smile playing on my lips.

Wei Lin is a thoughtful person. He will definitely understand the deeper meaning of my private summons this time. It is not just to ask him to check my pulse, but I have something to tell him.

I gently picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, to hide the turmoil in my heart, and slowly spoke:

"Master Wei, I have invited you here today for no other reason than to protect Concubine Xia's dragon fetus. You and I both have the responsibility to protect it, and we must not slack off in the slightest."

Upon hearing this, Wei Lin frowned slightly, his eyes revealing a seriousness. He knew very well that what I said was true.

I continued:

"Although I have been ordered to look after Concubine Xia, Concubine Hua has ordered her to travel back and forth to the Yikun Palace every day to copy the "Women's Instructions". You can imagine how hard it must be. Concubine Xia is already showing signs of fatigue, and I am deeply worried."

Having said that, I paused deliberately, my eyes fixed on Wei Lin, trying to catch a hint of reaction from his face.

Sure enough, a complex emotion flashed in Wei Lin's eyes.

He must be worried about the Huan Yi Xiang in Yikun Palace. However, he didn't know that I knew about this, so he couldn't tell me directly.

I took a deep breath and said earnestly:

"Sir Wei, you and I both know that the winds in the palace are ever-changing. Today's peace may be tomorrow's danger. If anything happens to Concubine Xia, you and I will both be blamed. Therefore, I would like to ask Sir Wei if you could find an appropriate time to disclose Concubine Xia's current situation to the Emperor and request that he grant her less frequent visits to the Yikun Palace or allow her adequate rest."

Wei Lin's eyes flickered upon hearing this, as if he were weighing the pros and cons. If this matter was handled properly, not only would it save Concubine Xia from danger, but it would also earn him the Emperor's trust and appreciation. However, if he wasn't careful, he could end up in trouble and offend Concubine Hua.

Seeing that he was hesitant, I added fuel to the fire:

"Lord Wei, you and I walk through the palace together, and we should know the truth that 'water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.' The matter of Concubine Xia may seem trivial, but it actually concerns the imperial heir and the peace of the harem. If we can take this opportunity to share the emperor's worries, wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?"

After hearing this, Wei Lin finally nodded, his expression becoming more determined:

"Your Majesty, your words make sense. I will do my best. However, this matter requires caution and not haste."

I leaned forward slightly, my eyes gleaming with wisdom, and said to Wei Lin:

"I understand what Lord Wei is worried about. Protecting Concubine Xia and the dragon fetus while avoiding offending Concubine Hua is indeed a difficult problem. But I think perhaps we can find a way to have the best of both worlds, or even the best of all three."

Upon hearing this, Wei Lin's eyes flashed with curiosity and surprise. He bowed slightly and asked respectfully:

"What is your Majesty's opinion? I would like to hear it in detail."

I smiled slightly and continued:

"In fact, it was Concubine Xia who was at fault that day, offending Concubine Hua. But then again, Concubine Hua should have been more tolerant, rather than pressing her. However, none of this matters now. What matters is how we resolve this impasse."

I paused, observing Wei Lin's reaction. Seeing that he was listening intently, I continued:

"I think we can start from the Emperor's perspective and find an opportunity that will not only save Concubine Xia from exhaustion, but also avoid offending Concubine Hua, and allow Lord Wei to gain some appreciation and trust from the Emperor. Wouldn't that be the best of all three?"

Wei Lin's brows furrowed slightly when he heard this, his eyes gleaming with thought. He was clearly drawn to my words and was seriously considering the feasibility of this proposal.

Then, I sighed softly and told Wei Lin in detail about my chance encounter with Xia Dongchun, Zhen Huan, Huanbi and Concubine Hua in the imperial garden that day.

Of course, in order to enhance the effect, I unconsciously added some exaggeration and exaggeration when telling the story, making the encounter, which was already full of tension, sound even more thrilling.

Wei Lin listened intently, his brow furrowed, as if transported back to that eventful afternoon as I described it. He nodded gently, expressing his understanding.

"I understand,"

After Wei Lin pondered for a moment, he whispered:

"Thank you, Madam An, for your advice. I now know what to do."

His eyes flashed with gratitude and determination. It was obvious that he understood my intention and was ready to apply this wisdom to the upcoming court game.

After saying that, Wei Lin stood up and said goodbye, and hurried towards the Emperor's Yangxin Palace.

I looked at his departing back and thought to myself that this cooperation with Wei Lin would undoubtedly add a solid foundation to the trust and tacit understanding between us.

......

"My lady, if the emperor appreciates Wei Lin this time, then the relationship between you and Wei Lin will definitely rise!"

After Wei Lin walked out, Xiao Tao blinked and said beside me.

It suddenly occurred to me that I hadn't observed the oleander warehouse for a long time.

"Xiao Tao, what's the current situation at the Oleander warehouse?"

"Well... My dear, let Xiaotao check..."

Xiao Taobala held her fingers for a moment and said:

"Oh, my lady, your relationship index is pretty good! It's increased across all parties. Especially when you supported Huanbi last time, I didn't expect the effect to be so good that you even included Huanbi in our 'list of followers'. The current index is 3%!"
