The Rebirth of Li Fei: The Strongest Palace Fighting System

I thought to myself that the Queen's words were revealing her intentions both explicitly and implicitly.

She was obviously planning to take advantage of Huanbi's dragon fetus. She did not want the dragon fetus to be born smoothly, which would threaten her position. At the same time, she did not want Zhen Huan to be restored to the throne smoothly, which would prevent the situation in the harem from getting out of control again.

I lowered my head, hiding the sharpness in my eyes, and had to comply with the expedient:

"I fully understand the Empress's painstaking efforts and care, and I will certainly do my utmost to help Her Majesty resolve her worries and difficulties."

The queen showed a satisfied smile on her face and turned to leave.

......

Xiao Tao was so anxious that she kept jumping up and down:

"My dear! This is so strange! This is so strange! How on earth did this doll get into our house?"

Her words were full of confusion and puzzlement.

I frowned slightly. Baojuan was also in the room, so I could only listen to Xiaotao's words silently, thinking to myself, and not speaking easily.

Xiao Tao continued to talk:

"In my previous life, I suspected Juqing was responsible, but this time, Juqing didn't come to serve me? Who is behind this?"

When I mentioned Juqing, I couldn't help but feel dazed.

I suddenly turned around and glared at Baojuan with a sharp gaze.

Baojuan was lowering her head, pretending to be busy, and seemed unaware of my gaze.

But I have already started to doubt her in my heart. Is the appearance of this doll related to her?

"Baojuan, go and boil the medicine and bring it over."

"Yes, my lord."

I thought hard, trying to make sense of it all.

Once upon a time, I always thought that Baojuan was a loyal and indispensable servant by my side, and her every word and action revealed her concern and respect for me.

However, now when I think back on all the details, I can't help but be shocked.

Baojuan, this seemingly honest and simple palace maid, actually often intentionally or unintentionally sows discord between me and the concubines.

Every word she spoke seemed to carry some unspeakable purpose, making my relationships with others gradually become delicate and tense.

Take Chun'er's moving just now for example. There seemed to be some deep meaning hidden in her words, emphasizing that Chun'er did not respect my position as the head of the palace.

"Xiao Tao, hurry up, before Bao Juan comes back, ask the oleander elf for me. Bao Juan, is she an undercover agent sent by the Queen?"

Xiaotao closed her eyes and frowned, as if she was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.

After a long time, she slowly opened her eyes, her eyes full of fear and anxiety, and said to me in a trembling voice:

"My lady... yes, Baojuan was sent by the Queen."

When I heard this, I couldn't help but gasp, and an indescribable anger and sadness surged in my heart.

It turns out that all my trust and reliance on him were actually built on an undercover agent.

"My lady, in your previous life, it was Baojuan who reported the 'doll' incident. In this life, she also sewed this doll and placed it here, colluding with the Queen to frame you. She did this simply to isolate you in the palace, making it easier for the Queen to control you."

I suppressed the anger in my heart:

"Then why did she do this to me? I have never treated her badly."

Xiao Tao sighed and said:

"My lady, you don't know. Baojuan has always been the Queen's servant. Everything she does is in accordance with the Queen's will. She was the Queen's teacher when she tried to sow discord between you and the concubines."

A chill ran down my spine, and as I thought about what I had been through, I couldn't help but feel grief and indignation.

"Then last time, my voice was damaged. Was it also the Queen's fault?"

Xiaotao nodded and said:

"Yes, my lady. That time, it was Concubine Guaerjia who gave you the medicine. And Baojuan assisted her in putting the medicine into your body."

Hearing this, I was furious to the extreme. I never thought I would suffer so much scheming and betrayal.

At this time, Baojuan pushed the door open and walked in:

"My lady, it's time to take your medicine."

"Snapped!"

When I saw Baojuan, I could no longer suppress my anger and slapped her in the face.

Baojuan's face flushed instantly, tears welled up in her eyes:

"Little Master..."

"Eat everything inside and out!"

I roared in anger.

"I don't know what I did wrong, but I really can't bear the accusation of being a traitor!"

"You still dare to say you don't know?!"

At this time, Xiao Tao pulled my sleeve and reminded me:

"My lady! Be patient! If you reveal this now, it will alert the enemy. Who knows how the Queen will deal with you!"

I thought to myself that Xiaotao was right. So I helped Baojuan up and pretended to comfort her:

"Baojuan, it's all my fault. I've always considered you my confidant. I hit you this time because I lost my mind."

"My lady, I dare not."

"Hurry up and let me see your injuries. I know you have always been loyal to me. Don't take it to heart. There are more than one maid in the palace, not to mention Concubine Fucha. It's possible that she secretly planted this person."

I made up an excuse, but Baojuan continued:

"Yes, my lady, that Concubine Fucha has always been unhappy with you. This must be her doing!"

......

Time flies, and a few days have passed in the blink of an eye. Everything in the palace seems to have fallen into a kind of silence and tranquility, but under this surface calmness there are undercurrents.

Seeing that Huanbi was already seven months pregnant, her belly became rounder and rounder, full of vitality and hope.

The Queen has been secretly watching me, waiting for my every move, hoping to use me to get rid of the dragon fetus in Huanbi's belly.

However, I couldn't do what she wanted because my Oleander system mission was to restore Zhen Huan to her former glory.

I decided to use delaying tactics.

Let's just leave it at that for now, to stabilize the situation, to keep it seemingly calm, yet actually holding a hidden agenda. When the critical moment comes, I'll adapt to the situation and deal with it as needed, whether it's an enemy or a threat.

"This is the finishing touch. We only need a few stitches to embroider the dragon's eyes."

Baojuan said from the side.

I glanced at Baojuan who was standing beside me and said calmly:

"That's right. It's been on display for several days. You should go back and rest first. I'll go to bed after I finish this last stitch."

As I spoke, I gently stroked the needle and thread in my hand and sent Baojuan out.

Baojuan didn't seem to notice anything unusual about me. She just responded and retreated respectfully.

After her figure disappeared behind the door, I breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Xiaotao who had just walked out of the inner room.

Xiao Tao was also holding a piece of fabric that she was embroidering. She sat down next to me quietly and whispered:

"My lady, Xiaotao notices that you've become increasingly distant from Baojuan these days. However, you have to be careful not to be too obvious, lest you alert her."
