The Rebirth of Li Fei: The Strongest Palace Fighting System

Xiao Tao's expression did not relax after hearing this. She hesitated for a moment and said:

"But, Your Majesty, the Oleander System just gave us another mission—this time, it's to rescue Cao Qinmo. The reward is 9% of your grace index!"

I heard this and widened my eyes in surprise.

"What? Save Cao Qinmo?"

"My Lady, I know this is difficult, but the mission has been assigned. If we don't complete it, our grace index will drop."

I shook my head helplessly, my heart filled with entanglement and struggle:

"Save Cao Qinmo... Besides, even if we do save her, what can we do? In this harem, favor and hatred are often just a thought away. She will inevitably become our enemy in the future."

Seeing how helpless I was, Xiao Tao was silent for a moment. Then she said softly:

"My Lady, no matter what, we have to try. Every time we complete a mission, the rewards will increase, and our promotion will get faster and faster."

I heard this and nodded slightly.

I pondered for a moment and told Xiaotao:

"Xiao Tao, please ask the oleander spirit for me, why did Cao Qinmo die in his previous life?"

"Yes, ma'am."

She closed her eyes, as if in some mysterious communication with the oleander spirit.

After a moment, she opened her eyes and said to me solemnly:

"Your Majesty, Cao Qinmo died at the hands of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager after Nian Shilan passed away. They believed that Cao Qinmo was too scheming to be spared, so they drugged her food."

I nodded slightly when I heard that, and I already had a plan in mind:

"If they drugged me, that'll be easy. Xiao Tao, keep a close eye on Qixiang Palace these few days. If anyone drugs me, just go and replace them."

Xiao Tao nodded in agreement, but there was still a trace of worry on her face:

"But, Your Majesty, this method can only save Cao Qinmo temporarily, but since the Emperor and the Queen Mother have decided to kill her, it is inevitable that there will be other actions that will follow."

I smiled gently, with wisdom glittering in my eyes:

"Let's save her for now. With Cao Qinmo's character and her intelligence, she will definitely find a way to save herself in the future."

"Your Majesty is wise, Xiaotao understands. Your Majesty, we have been out for too long, we should go back quickly to avoid arousing suspicion."

"Okay, let's go back and listen to the opera."

......

I returned to the Qingyin Pavilion and found that Guarjia was still chattering in the Queen's ear:

"I hope your Majesty does not mind my nagging. I have two illegitimate sisters at home, and I cannot talk to them. But when I see your Majesty, I have a lot to say in my heart... Please forgive me for my words."

The queen gently stroked the pearls and jade on her temples, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Although she said "it's okay", her eyes could not hide her concern about the word "illegitimate".

At this moment, a shrill voice broke the silence in the room. A young eunuch hurried in and reported in a panic:

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! The Suiyu Pavilion... is on fire!"

......

I felt a little relieved when I heard that the fire in Suiyuxuan had been put out, but then I became worried about Shen Meizhuang's burns and Zhen Huan's miscarriage.

The emperor had no choice but to order Nian to be banished to the cold palace and stabbed to death, which was undoubtedly the most severe punishment for Nian Shilan.

However, at this moment, Xiao Tao secretly told me that I had a new mission - to save Nian Shilan, and the mission reward was 10%.

......

"My lady, Xiaotao has really run herself to pieces today."

"You've worked hard. Eat something first. You've done a good job, but you still need to keep working hard."

Xiao Tao nodded while eating and continued:

"Your Majesty, the people sent by the Emperor and the Queen Mother secretly drugged Cao Qinmo today. Fortunately, Xiaotao replaced him in time."

"But why is the mission reward still nowhere to be found?"

Xiao Tao frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said:

"Changing the medicine is only a temporary expedient. The mission will not be truly accomplished until the Emperor and the Queen Mother have truly given up their murderous intentions. We must wait patiently."

I nodded.

Then she added:

"Your Majesty, Xiao Tao just went to Jingren Palace. Jingren Palace sent a young eunuch to secretly tell Zhen Huan that Zhen Yuandao had been exiled to Ningguta. Zhen Huan was already experiencing a miscarriage due to yesterday's miscarriage, and she went to the Yangxin Palace with all her strength..."

"Then Zhen Huan must be very sad, right?"

Xiao Tao sighed and said:

"Yes, Your Majesty. Xiao Tao followed me to the Yangxin Palace to check on the situation. Zhen Huan accidentally saw some letters in the Yangxin Palace and was extremely sad."

"What letter?"

Xiao Tao recalled and said:

"Xiao Tao only saw these words: 'Even if I could get Wan Wan, Wan Wan would look like you, but there would be no clouds besides Wushan.'"

After hearing this, I understood. This letter was written by the emperor to the late Queen Chunyuan, and the words revealed his deep affection for Chunyuan and his disappointment in Zhen Huan.

I understand that this is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Zhen Huan.

I looked at Xiao Tao solemnly, with uneasiness surging in my heart, and asked:

"Xiao Tao, what else is making you so anxious?"

Xiao Tao bit her lip, her expression full of worry:

"Your Majesty, just now in Jingren Palace, the Queen not only sent a strange eunuch to inform Zhen Huan, but also issued another decree, ordering Ran Dong to go to the cold palace to see Nian Shilan off for the last time."

I said:

"In the previous life, it was Zhen Huan who sent Nian Shilan on her final journey. Now that Zhen Huan is giving birth to a child, she has become the queen..."

"But, Your Majesty, the Queen asked Ran Dong to tell Nian Shi Lan the secret of 'Huan Yi Xiang'."

My heart trembled, and my voice unconsciously rose a few degrees:

"What? The Queen is so cruel and heartbreaking. Isn't this just stabbing her in the heart? Zhen Huan's pregnancy is crucial, and the Emperor can't be distracted, so the Queen takes advantage of this opportunity to attack her?"

Xiao Tao nodded, her eyes full of worry:

"That's why I find this situation so difficult. If Nian Shilan learns the truth and becomes desperate... our mission will be completely ruined."

I paced back and forth in the room anxiously, my thoughts racing:

"No, we must stop this. Xiaotao, you must go to the cold palace immediately and observe secretly. If Randong appears, we must stop her at all costs and never give her a chance to speak."

"Yes, my lady! Xiaotao will go right away."

Xiao Tao just walked out, but suddenly turned back, looking anxious:

"My Lady, the Oleander System has a new mission!"

I frowned, my tone filled with helplessness and irritability:

"How can we finish all the tasks with so many tasks one after another?"

Seeing me like this, Xiao Tao quickly comforted me:

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. This mission is actually related to Nian Shilan - it is to make Nian Shilan pregnant and give birth to a child. The mission reward is 11% of the grace index, which is quite considerable."

"Saving Nian Shilan is already incredibly difficult, and now we have to make her pregnant? She's been unable to conceive for years, and now she's in the cold palace. How is this even possible?"
