The Rebirth of Li Fei: The Strongest Palace Fighting System

With Zhou Ning's command, Xia Dongchun was dragged away.

Although the death penalty can be pardoned, the living punishment cannot be escaped. The punishment of thirty strokes of the cane is enough to make her stay in bed for more than two months.

Compared with the tragic condition of hemiplegia, this punishment is considered lenient.

Concubine Hua's eyes turned and looked at Shen Meizhuang, Zhen Huan and me:

"Although the Empress has forgiven you, Concubine Shen, Concubine Wan, and Concubine An are also implicated. The three of you should reflect on your past behind closed doors."

"When it comes to matters concerning the harem, the overall situation must be prioritized. It's understandable that Concubine Shen, Concubine Wan, and Concubine An are new to the palace and unfamiliar with its rules."

The Queen paused, her eyes wandering over the three of us, and continued:

"Furthermore, as the head of the Central Palace, I hold the power of life and death over the harem. While the assistants to the six palaces have the authority to handle minor matters, they must ultimately obey the Central Palace's orders. I hope that Sister Hua Fei will remember this: harmony is paramount in harem affairs, and only then can we build harmony within the harem."

When Concubine Hua heard this, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes, but she had to suppress the anger in her heart and bowed slightly:

"The minister and concubine follow the order."

The Queen nodded with satisfaction:

"Alright, let's end today's matter here. You all should go away and reflect on yourselves. You must be more cautious in the future and don't make the same mistake again."

As the queen finished speaking, everyone bowed and took their leave, leaving the imperial garden with their own thoughts.

In this round, it was the Queen who stopped Concubine Hua, which was also in line with my plan step by step.

......

The three of us walked to the Imperial Garden. It was obvious that Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang were frightened:

"Although Xia is foolish and arrogant, his crime is not so serious as this."

"I've always heard that Concubine Hua is powerful, but I didn't expect her to be so cruel."

At this time, a palace maid ran over screaming. Shen Meizhuang asked why, but the palace maid did not answer and ran away quickly.

I knew that next, I would see the poor "Fuzi" "falling" into the well.

Zhen Huan stopped a young eunuch:

"What happened?"

Seeing the young eunuch frantically and hesitantly, Shen Meizhuang gently admonished him with the demeanor of a great man:

"Speak nicely and don't scare others."

"Yes, young master, I am from the Imperial Garden. I was ordered by the steward to check if there is water in the wells of the Imperial Garden. I didn't expect to see water in the wells as soon as I arrived here. There is—"

After saying this, the young eunuch also ran away.

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang were both curious about what would appear in the well.

But I am the only one who knows that if Zhen Huan saw this, she would be frightened and bedridden for months. I might as well seize the opportunity and be the first to receive the favor.

"Sister, I'm so scared, do you want to go and take a look?"

I instigated Zhen Huan.

"I'll go over and take a look."

What happened next was just as I expected. After taking a look into the well, Zhen Huan ran back screaming.

"What happened?"

"Don't go over there, there are dead people."

"what?"

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang fled back to their respective palaces in a panic, while I returned to my Yanxi Palace leisurely.

......

I was not in a hurry to return to the palace, as I thought that Xia Dongchun was suffering from the beating at that moment.

After the punishment is over, I must go and "visit" Concubine Xia so that she can fulfill her promise.

When I returned to the Yanx Palace, I did not go to my west wing hall, but went straight to her east wing hall.

Before reaching the door, I could already hear her moaning "Ouch, ouch". It seemed that a maid was applying medicine on her. I guess the beating was over.

The young eunuch came forward and announced something, and I slowly walked into the hall. I bowed and saluted:

"Xia Changzai Wan'an, I came to see you."

Xia Dongchun reluctantly raised his head, his eyes filled with doubt and dissatisfaction:

"Wan'an? Do I look like Wan'an to you? What are you doing here? Do you want to laugh at me?"
