The Rebirth of Li Fei: The Strongest Palace Fighting System

Su Peisheng accepted the order, his voice loud and respectful:

"Yes! I obey your command."

After saying this, the emperor sighed softly, turned around and left, leaving the room filled with silence and complicated emotions.

As the emperor's footsteps faded, the atmosphere in Yikun Palace grew more subtle. A complex expression crossed Nian Shilan's face, a mixture of wariness toward the emperor and anticipation for the unborn child.

I watched all this silently from the side, thinking to myself.

Xiaotao leaned close to my ear and whispered softly:

"Your Majesty, this Nianpin is really powerful. She even dares to speak to the Emperor like that. But congratulations to Your Majesty on being granted the power to assist in the management of the six palaces. Xiao Tao sees that the favor index between you and the Emperor has increased a little bit this time."

At this moment, Nian Shilan's voice suddenly sounded, with a hint of irony and unwillingness:

"As the Imperial Concubine, assisting in the management of the six palaces, you are now enjoying unlimited glory, just like I did in my time."

I smiled gently, with a hint of humility and self-awareness in my tone:

"Sister Shilan, you're too kind. Back then, Sister Shilan was in great favor, the envy of everyone in the harem. And I, though I hold a high position now, know deep down that I'm not favored. Behind this glory, I'm actually walking on thin ice. How is my situation any different from the Empress's?"

Nian Shilan's eyes dimmed instantly, and she murmured softly:

"The Queen... I've been fighting with her for so long, and in the end, I'm just a clown, being toyed with by her. It turns out that the Queen knows everything about Huan Yixiang, but she's been hiding in the dark, watching me make a fool of myself."

I sighed inwardly, but I also reminded Nian Shilan:

"I heard that Sister Se-ran's miscarriage while in the palace was due to drinking the 'pregnancy-stabilizing medicine' sent by Concubine Duan. Although Concubine Duan has always been a peaceful person, this incident seems strange; there's clearly something fishy about the medicine. Has Sister Se-ran ever considered who made this medicine? Who in the palace was most knowledgeable about pharmacology back then, and who had the motive to do this?"

Upon hearing this, Nian Shilan's face flashed with a fierce look. She gritted her teeth and said, "The Queen...it must be her!"

"The Empress's power is now absolute. Leaving aside minor figures like Concubine Qiu and Concubine Xia, even the court lady Huichun who bumped into me earlier is nothing to be feared. She's already been beaten to death. The most worrying person is Guaerjia. She was promoted from a noble lady to a concubine by the Empress. And Cao Qinmo has also surrendered to the Empress. This is not good news for us."

Nian Shilan clenched her fists and said bitterly:

"The Guaerjia clan has an irreconcilable feud with our Nian family! And Cao Qinmo, I protected her and her daughter back then, and now she dares to betray me! People are so cunning!"

I sighed softly and said with emotion:

"My sister is also walking on thin ice, and she has to be cautious with every step. But now, for the sake of her children, she has to cheer up."

A complex emotion flashed across Nian Shilan's eyes, and she said slowly:

"I have become disillusioned with the Emperor and no longer wish to be involved in these meaningless battles. My only wish now is to protect the child in my belly and to live with him for the rest of my life."

"So is my younger sister? I also have three children to take care of, and I had no choice but to come to Sister Shilan. We are all doing this for the children, to give them a stable future. My younger sister and I both have children, and the Queen has no children, so she will definitely not let us go."

Nian Shilan nodded slightly when she heard this, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes. She took a deep breath and continued:

"You're right. For the sake of our children, we can't just sit there and wait for death."

......

Xiao Tao gently placed a plate of exquisite osmanthus cake in front of me and said with a smile:

"Your Majesty, you've been busy running back and forth between Yikun Palace and Yanqing Palace right after your confinement. Although the misunderstandings on both sides have been resolved, you still have to take care of your health. Come, eat something to replenish your energy."

I looked at Xiaotao with a smile, and a warm feeling welled up in my heart:

"Xiao Tao, you eat first. Let me ask you, has my relationship with Nian Shilan recovered?"

Xiao Tao nodded vigorously, her face filled with joy:

"Your Majesty, I've recovered somewhat. Furthermore, your relationship with Concubine Duan has also improved significantly. It seems our efforts this time have not been in vain."

I felt relieved when I heard this. Within the harem, resolving misunderstandings and enhancing mutual understanding and trust is truly a rare achievement.

Seeing that I was satisfied, Xiaotao continued:

"Your Majesty, you have won a prince. This reward has not yet been used. It is the 'Enemy Index Record'. It is similar to the previous index, but this time it is reduced from 100%."

When I heard this, my heart moved:

"Then use it."

Xiao Tao responded, carefully analyzing the current situation, and said after a moment of contemplation:

"Xiao Tao is watching. The Empress currently has two strong rivals: Zhen Huan and the Empress. Zhen Huan's relationship with the Emperor has been strained due to her training outside the palace, so her index has dropped from 100% to 80%. While the Empress has never been able to gain the Emperor's true love, her position is remarkably stable. However, this time the Emperor discovered the Ran Dong incident, and the Empress' index has also dropped a bit, now standing at 95%."

"If we can reduce their indexes to 0, then we'll be considered victorious, right?"

Xiao Tao nodded, a sly look flashing in her eyes:

"Your Majesty is right. If we can get their indexes down to 0, then our harem will truly be invincible. By the way, the Queen is planning to go to Ganlu Temple to pray for blessings in a few days. I think this is a good opportunity. We can use it to find a way to lower the Queen's index further."

When I heard that, I was moved: "Ganlu Temple? That is indeed a good place."

......

The royal motorcade meandered like a dragon, with flags fluttering and canopies like clouds. The golden chariots sparkled in the sun, demonstrating the supreme majesty and dignity of the royal family.

The convoy moved slowly, raising dust, but it could not conceal its solemnity and dignity.

Ganlu Temple is built on the mountainside, with towering ancient trees, curling incense and melodious bells.

A constant stream of pilgrims streamed into the main hall, a bustling crowd. Abbot Jing'an, dressed in plain clothes and with a kind face, led the group in burning incense and reciting scriptures, praying for the royal family and all people under heaven.

In this solemn occasion, Guwaljia, just like in her previous life, accidentally stepped on Zhen Huan's hand.

This time, Huanbi was also with us. She was wearing a gorgeous palace dress and a head of pearls and jade, which made her look particularly dazzling.

Unlike in her previous life, she did not choose to accompany Zhen Huan to Ganlu Temple for training, but stayed in the palace and became a concubine. This time, it was Liu Zhu who came to Ganlu Temple instead. She looked pious and followed everyone in praying for blessings.
