The Rebirth of Li Fei: The Strongest Palace Fighting System

Upon hearing this, Zhen Huan nodded slightly, with a look of emotion on her face:

"Yes, I heard that my father was also included in the memorial impeaching Nian Gengyao. The status of Concubine Hua is indeed not as high as it used to be. Did you know that a few days ago she sent Song Zhi, who was by her side, to the Emperor. First, she was made a court lady, and later she was promoted to the position of concubine and granted residence in the Yikun Palace."

"With the passing of Concubine Li, Concubine Hua has undoubtedly lost a valuable wing. Now that she has sent Songzhi away, it seems she has run out of tricks and has no other options. However, it is still hard to say whether Songzhi can truly be used by Concubine Hua."

Zhen Huan nodded, a complicated look flashing in her eyes:

"In this harem, people's hearts are hard to predict. Whether Hua Fei's actions are out of helplessness or she has other motives, we must all be cautious. It's just a pity for Song Zhi, she's been caught up in the harem disputes, I'm afraid it won't end well."

"Don't worry too much, sister. We just need to be careful and protect ourselves and our unborn child. That will be our greatest victory. As for the disputes in the harem, let them fight it out."

......

Because Nian Gengyao was disrespectful to the emperor and incurred his wrath, he was demoted. His sister Hua Fei also suffered from the situation of being deserted by her relatives and friends. The person who took the brunt of the incident and took advantage of the situation was undoubtedly the empress.

To this day, we still go to Jingren Palace as usual to pay respects to the Empress every morning and evening. However, we see that the Empress secretly mocks and suppresses the once favored Concubine Hua through her words and actions, revealing her cold heart.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am guilty."

"It's all right, what's wrong with you?"

I know that Concubine Cao is now ready to betray her old master:

"I know something very well, but I have kept it secret until now. Now I dare not not speak out."

At this time, Cao Qinmo looked at me meaningfully, and then continued to talk about the "cassava flour" incident that year, but she only mentioned Hua Fei, but did not mention that I was also involved at that time.

"My Lady,"

Xiao Tao said in my ear with a worried look on her face:

"Cao Qinmo is a cunning person. Although he is trying to overthrow Concubine Hua and save you, the Empress, the 'cassava flour' incident is a handle in Cao Qinmo's hands. We must be on guard."

Xiaotao is right, it feels like a heavy stone pressing on me.

"Bitch!"

At this moment, Concubine Hua broke in and kicked Cao Qinmo:

"You don't allow me to be presumptuous, but I have been presumptuous many times!"

After saying that, Concubine Hua walked away, and I was worried about what Xiaotao said.

......

During this month, the situation in the palace changed drastically and many unexpected events occurred one after another.

First, Nian Gengyao committed suicide, and then the once extremely noble Concubine Hua was stripped of her title and demoted to a concubine, and Songzhi was also reduced to a humble official girl.

Despite this, the two were still allowed to reside in the once prosperous Yiku Palace.

At the same time, Cao Qinmo was rewarded for his contribution in exposing Nian Shilan and was given the title "Xiang", and his status was improved.

With the strong recommendation of the Queen, a new noble lady Qi was added to the palace - Wen Yuan of the Guwalgiya clan. Her arrival undoubtedly added some undercurrents to the deep palace.

Xiao Tao slowly walked forward, gently stroking her eight-month-old belly, her face full of worry, and she whispered:

"Cao Qinmo is a man of deep thoughts, and now he has something on us. He should not be underestimated. Moreover, Your Majesty and Lady Zhen Huan are both eight months pregnant. At this critical moment, we cannot afford to be careless."

I nodded slightly when I heard that, my expression solemn. After thinking for a moment, I gently said to Xiao Tao:

"You're right. We must be more cautious. However, worrying won't solve the problem. We still have to take action. Xiao Tao, get ready. Let's go visit Zhen Huan now so we can take care of each other."

After saying that, I turned around and told Baoque who was waiting outside the door:

"Bao Que, go get two boxes of the best Dong'e Ejiao from the store. This is for Wanpin to nourish her body."

Baoque responded and quickly prepared the donkey-hide gelatin. Xiaotao and I then set out for Zhen Huan's residence together.

......

I stepped into Suiyuxuan and immediately saw Zhen Huan. I gestured to Baoque to respectfully present the two boxes of Dong'e Ejiao in my hand, and whispered:

"Sister Wan, these two boxes of donkey-hide gelatin are specially prepared for you. You must take good care of yourself. I came here specially to see you."

Upon hearing this, Zhen Huan let Liu Zhu support her, slowly stood up, and bowed to me, with a somewhat distant tone:

"Thank you, Noble Concubine An. May your blessings be best to you."

I was startled and quickly stepped forward, reaching out to help her up, and asked with confusion:

"When did we sisters need to be so polite to each other? Sister Wan, what's wrong with you today?"

Zhen Huan's face looked exceptionally cold, with a hint of determination in her eyes:

"Since you and I are sisters, there are some things we can do and some things we can't do."

My heart tightened, I looked at her in confusion and asked:

"I really don't understand what Sister Wan is referring to. Is she going to be estranged from me?"

Zhen Huan's tone became increasingly cold, like a biting winter wind:

"Your Highness, Imperial Concubine An is also eight months pregnant. I dare not accept this Dong'e Ejiao. Please take it back and replenish your body."

After saying that, Zhen Huan looked away and stopped looking at me.

Zhen Huan firmly declined my gift. She pronounced the three words "I dare not accept it" particularly loudly. There was a lot of meaning between the lines, and it was obvious that she was hinting at something.

What made me feel even more chilled was that she no longer affectionately called me "sister", but the formal and distant "Noble Concubine An".

I felt a vague sense of foreboding in my heart.

Just when the atmosphere was subtle and awkward, Ran Dong, the Queen's personal maid, suddenly pushed the door open and broke the silence in the room.

"May the Empress An and Concubine Wan live forever."

"Ran Dong? Why are you here? What instructions does the Queen have?"

"I just went to Yanxi Palace and heard that Concubine An had come to Suiyuxuan. Coincidentally, both Concubines were there, so I told them together—the Empress invited all the palace ladies to Qingyin Pavilion to listen to an opera."

Zhen Huan shook her head slightly, her tone filled with unquestionable determination:

"I won't go. Lady An, please go by yourself."

After saying this, she told Liu Zhu beside her to prepare to see the guest off, looking as if she didn't want to say more.

I felt mixed emotions, but I had to force a smile and said:

"Then I'll come visit Sister Wan another day."

Zhen Huan's response was still cold, as if there was an invisible ice wall between us:

"You are too polite, Concubine An. There is no need to trouble you another day."

......

In the Qingyin Pavilion, the sound of stringed instruments is melodious, the gauze dances gracefully, and a magnificent opera is slowly unfolding amid the interweaving of light and shadow.
