The Rebirth of Li Fei: The Strongest Palace Fighting System

"Your Majesty, it seems that letting Concubine Duan raise the Fifth Prince is a done deal. But if we want to raise the Fourth Prince, I'm afraid we'll have to put in some effort."

I nodded slightly, frowning slightly, and thinking about various possibilities in my mind:

"Yes, this is indeed not an easy task. We need to find another way and come up with a foolproof plan."

At this point, I suddenly remembered something, turned my gaze, and looked outside the door.

"By the way, why hasn't Baojuan come back yet? I was going to ask her about embroidery."

Xiao Tao was also stunned when she heard this, and then said:

"Yes, Your Majesty, why has Baojuan been gone for so long? She is on the Queen's side, so she won't do anything strange again, Your Majesty, we have to be on guard."

I sighed softly, feeling a little helpless:

"Well, since she's not here, we can't just sit there and wait. Xiaotao, let's check out the oleander warehouse first."

Xiao Tao heard this and immediately responded:

"Alright, Your Majesty. Look, our favor index is rising really fast! Adding in the rewards for completing the Oleander mission, and the interactions with the concubines in the palace, our favor index has already reached 65% of the rank of Concubine, and we're on the verge of reaching the next level. But Noble Concubine Hua's has only increased a little, just 5%, Huanbi's 11%, and the newly added Concubine Duan's 3%, and Noble Lady Xin's 10%. But Xia Dongchun's is already at 55%."

Xiaotao reported happily, with anticipation glittering in her eyes.

I nodded slightly, feeling quite satisfied.

"Yes, this speed is indeed astonishing. Especially when completing the Oleander mission, the favor index gained is really considerable. However, Xiaotao, if our concubine index really reaches 100%, then we will be the position of Imperial Concubine. But there are only two concubine positions currently, one is occupied by Imperial Concubine Hua, and the other is Imperial Concubine Duan. If I really get promoted to that position, what should I do?"

"Your Majesty, of course you can't skip levels for promotion. If the index truly reaches 100%, but there's no corresponding rank to advance to, then we'll have to follow the rules."

I heard this, and my heart moved slightly, and I asked:

"What rules?"

"If your grace index is full and you are unable to be promoted, you will have a special option - you can choose to demote anyone in the palace."

When I heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in my eyes:

"Oh? There's such a rule?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. And it's not just you. If someone else's grace index reaches 100%, they will also face the same choice. They can choose not to reset but not add to it, or they can choose to reset and designate one person to be demoted."

I pondered for a moment, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of my mouth:

"In that case, this rule does make sense. If I ever reach that point, I can demote the person above me to make room for him, which will also facilitate my future advancement."

"Yes, your Majesty. And this way, not only can we put our own people in a high position, but we can also put the enemy forces in a low position. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"

I nodded with satisfaction, feeling pleased with Xiaotao's attentiveness and thoughtfulness.

At this moment, Xiao Tao came closer to me with a smile, her eyes sparkling with excitement:

"Your Majesty! Did you know? In the records of the Oleander Storehouse, we have another honor: we have a child! Moreover, the first child we raised was Princess Zhiqiu. Every additional child we raise will receive a very large reward!"

When I heard this, I was filled with joy and asked quickly:

"So what's the grand prize this time? Tell me now, Xiao Tao!"

Xiao Tao mysteriously took out a round ball from her sleeve and waved it in front of me:

"My lady, can you guess what this is?"

I looked at the meatball, feeling extremely curious, and said with a smile:

"Could it be that the grand prize that Xiaotao mentioned is this delicious meatball?"

Xiao Tao quickly waved her hands, a smug look on her face, "No way! Madam, you guessed wrong. This pill is called... Resurrection Pill!"

I widened my eyes and looked at the magical pill called "Resurrection Pill" in Xiaotao's hand in disbelief, with unprecedented shock and excitement surging in my heart.

"Resurrection Pill? What...what kind of sacred thing is this?"

There was a slight tremor in my voice, and I was obviously in disbelief at this sudden surprise.

When Xiaotao saw my reaction, the smile in her eyes became even brighter, as if she felt extremely proud and happy about the secret that was about to be revealed.

"My Queen, please do not underestimate this resurrection pill! It possesses incredible power, enough to bring anyone back to life! Whether it's a deceased relative or a dear friend, as long as you have a wish in your heart, it may be possible for you to realize this miracle!"

My heart trembled suddenly, and my mother's gentle and loving face instantly appeared in my mind.

At that moment, I could hardly contain my excitement and shouted out the name:

"Of course... she's my mother!"

However, when the words came to my lips, I swallowed them back, fearing that my loss of composure would disturb this rare miracle.

Xiaotao saw tears in my eyes, but a relieved smile on my lips.

She nodded slightly and was about to continue explaining how to use the resurrection pill, but at this moment, she was interrupted by a burst of hurried footsteps.

"My Lady, something terrible has happened!"

As the voice fell, Bao Que rushed in anxiously, her face full of panic and uneasiness, as if a huge storm was brewing in the palace.

Her sudden appearance not only interrupted Xiaotao's words, but also instantly brought my thoughts back to reality from my beautiful vision of the future.

I took a deep breath, tried to calm myself, and looked at Baoque firmly, trying to find a clue in her eyes.

"Bao Que, what's wrong? Why are you so anxious?"

Baoque looked nervous and said hurriedly:

"Just now, news came from Jingren Palace, asking you, Your Majesty, to go there immediately! I heard that the Emperor is also there, and it seems...it's about Baojuan!"

"Baojuan!"

My heart tightened, and I immediately realized that something was wrong. This must be the Queen's doing something sneaky and setting a trap for me.

I quickly calmed down and told Baoque:

"You step aside and prepare the sedan chair. I'll be there shortly."

"Yes, my lady."

Baoque responded and hurriedly turned and left.

After Baoque left, I immediately turned back to look at Xiaotao and said solemnly:

"Let's put the matter of the resurrection pill aside for now. We have more urgent matters to deal with. Take out the Flower Shadow Axis first. We must first understand the situation over there!"

Xiaotao also realized the seriousness of the matter. She nodded repeatedly and hurriedly took out the flower shadow axis from the cabinet.

Unexpectedly, the flower shadow scroll did not show the Jingren Palace, but the scene of Shoukang Palace just now.
