The Rebirth of Li Fei: The Strongest Palace Fighting System

"Sister Xia, you misunderstood. I came to visit you sincerely. A few days ago, I warned Changzai that she might be in danger of being beheaded, but she didn't take it seriously. If she had listened to my sister, what happened today wouldn't have happened."

Xia Dongchun's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this, but it was soon replaced by anger:

"Since you already knew it, why didn't you just tell me?"

I pretended to sigh:

"I warned you then, but you didn't believe me. Besides, how could I be so blunt about dream interpretation and astrology? I heard from the servants that if Concubine Xia tasted the 'Yi Zhang Hong' and became paralyzed on one side of her body, she would be moved to the cold palace. Now, she can recuperate in Yanxi Palace and wait for the day ahead."

"Then what are you doing here? Are you here to see me laugh, or to show off your foresight?"

"Sister Xia, you misunderstood. I sincerely hope you can get better. Moreover, it was me who persuaded the Queen to come over and rescue you, thus sparing you from a more severe punishment."

Xia Dongchun's eyes still held a hint of suspicion and disdain:

"Oh? You persuaded the Queen? Then I really have to thank you very much. However, even so, I still hate Concubine Hua. She is so cruel, I will never let her go!"

After saying that, Xia Dongchun ignored me and turned away angrily, as if he wanted to vent all his dissatisfaction and resentment on the cold pillow.

It seems that Xia Dongchun is skeptical about me.

I want to state my purpose and get the treasure first.

An Lingrong saw that Xia Dongchun's mood had calmed down a bit, so she gently reminded him:

"Sister Xia, you once promised me that if I could help you through this difficult time, you would reward me with something. I wonder if you still remember that? I come from a humble background, and I didn't bring much silver into the palace..."

Xia Dongchun frowned when he heard this, and his tone was filled with a bit of impatience and arrogance:

"Humph, of course I remember. I'll trust you just this once, and I won't let you go short of anything, so don't worry. But I'm warning you, if you dare lie to me and let me find out you didn't even ask the Empress for help, I won't let you go! I, Xia Dongchun, am no pushover in the harem!"

Xia Dongchun was frightened like a rabbit in front of the Queen and Concubine Hua, but she was still speaking arrogantly in front of me, as if the person who just collapsed on the ground was not her.

But fortunately, it seems that she believes me a little.

"Sis Xia, I'm relieved to hear that. I just mentioned it casually and didn't mean anything else."

Xia Dongchun didn't give up. She glared at me:

"If you really have such great powers and can interpret dreams and astrology, why don't you help me calculate how to completely overthrow that vicious woman Hua Fei? As long as you really have a way, I, Xia Dongchun, will not treat you unfairly in the future. Gold, silver, treasures, rare toys, my Xia family has no shortage of them!"

I pretended to be mysterious. "Sister Xia, astrology has its mysteries. Although I can't directly calculate victory or defeat for you, I can remind you that if you want to overthrow Concubine Hua, you must first stabilize yourself and then look for an opportunity to act."

"Hmph, after all this talk, you still can't do anything. Dream interpretation and astrology, I think it's just an empty name. If you really have such great abilities, why are you still just a small promise?"

I didn't take it as an offense and pretended to be sincere:

"Sister Xia, although I cannot directly remove Concubine Hua for you, I am willing to serve you like a dog and a horse, and I only ask for your protection."

Xia Dongchun snorted coldly, as if she didn't completely believe what I said, but she didn't insist any further.

I knew it was pointless to say anything more, so I bowed lightly, said goodbye, and left, returning to my west wing hall.
