The Rebirth of Li Fei: The Strongest Palace Fighting System

Upon hearing this, Yu Ying'er's body softened and she almost collapsed to the ground, not daring to say any more words to plead for mercy.

Seeing this, Xia Dongchun felt a little proud.

The Queen waved her hand gently, signaling us to leave.

The disagreement between Xia Dongchun and I had long been a hot topic of conversation among the crowd. Because of this, a carefully planned scheme quietly unfolded.

No one would have expected that these two people who were always at odds with each other would work together to lay out this carefully planned chess game.

The people in the palace all regarded the rift between Xia Dongchun and me as normal. When I quietly directed all the criticism towards Yu Ying'er, everyone naturally believed it and did not think that I was biased.

Xia Dongchun and I, seemingly at odds with each other, became each other's strongest allies. We used our discord as the perfect cover.

So, I can't go back to Yanxi Palace with Xia Dongchun.

On the way back, Xia Dongchun and I, intentionally or unintentionally, chose to part ways.

This move was due to the subtle plan that she and I had conspired in whispers that night under the dim moonlight.

That night, under the bright moonlight, I slowly told Xia Dongchun about Yu Ying'er's arrogant and domineering character, how she repeatedly committed insubordination and disregarded hierarchy in the palace.

Although Xia Dongchun had just entered the palace, she was a concubine. Yu Ying'er's unrestrained temper would sooner or later conflict with her.

"Xia Changzai,"

I whispered softly into Xia Dongchun's ear that day:

"Yu Ying'er is prone to provocation and will definitely fall into her old habit of looking down on others. Remember, there's no need to confront her head-on. Just wait for the right moment and let her reap what she sows."

A hint of surprise flashed across Xia Dongchun's eyes, and then turned into understanding.

"As for Yu Ying'er, she is truly as pretty as a peach blossom, charming and adorable..."

I lowered my voice:

"The Emperor has been busy with state affairs lately, and his visits to the harem have been few and far between. If Yu Ying'er had remained as charming and lovely as ever, I'm afraid the Emperor would have continued to favor her and forgotten you, Sister Xia."

Xia Dongchun frowned when he heard this, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes:

"Humph, a mere maid-in-waiting dares to compete with me for favor? I, Xia Dongchun, will not sit still and wait for death."

"Sister Xia, do you have a plan in mind?"

Xia Dongchun's eyes were stern, and the corners of his mouth curled up fiercely:

"Yes, I intend to cut her face so that she can no longer serve the emperor with her beauty. You and I know this, and if you tell anyone, I will not let you go!"

I was secretly proud of myself because this is what I wanted to do:

"Don't worry, Sister. Lingrong will keep her mouth shut. However, although this action may relieve your anger temporarily, you must also be careful of rumors in the harem to avoid giving her something to talk about."

Xia Dongchun snorted coldly, seemingly not caring about my reminder:

"I know my limits. But I hope Yu Ying'er can be more sensible."

After saying that, we both smiled at each other, but our smiles concealed unknown calculations and schemes.

In this harem, behind every smile may be unfathomable traps and conspiracies.

Today, on the eve of Yu Ying'er's face-to-face confrontation, I quietly approached Xia Dongchun. I secretly took out a small paper bag from my sleeve, which contained the

Finely ground spices.

While I was talking to Xia Dongchun, with an unintentional movement, as if blown by the breeze, the fine particles fell gently on Xia Dongchun's tender hands like drizzle, leaving an imperceptible mark.

And among the spices, I cleverly mixed in a special ingredient - white flower dahlia.

Plumbago is a herb that can dispel wind and dampness, promote qi and blood circulation, but if it accidentally touches a wound, it will take a long time to heal.

As someone who has always been good at perfume making, I know these things like the back of my hand.

I guess the bloodstains on Yu Ying'er's face will not heal in a few days.

This game not only fulfilled Xia Dongchun's wish, but also quietly advanced her own plan.

And I achieved seven goals with one stone.

First, I used Xia Dongchun's hand to suppress Yu Ying'er and avenge Yu Ying'er for taking away my favor from Yimeiyuan.

Secondly, it deepened the rift between Xia Dongchun and Yu Ying'er, making it easier for me to sow discord between them in the future.

Third, through this incident, the relationship index between me and Xia Dongchun will rise again.

Fourthly, this matter would also make the Empress unhappy. She was used to trying to please the Emperor, and she had turned a blind eye to Yu Ying'er's repeated insubordination, simply because she didn't want to have to balance the Emperor's favor with the Empress's dignity. Now that Yu Ying'er had come to her, she had no choice but to intervene.

Fifth, Yu Ying'er has been in great favor ever since she was named a young lady. This time, she is under house arrest, and because of the effect of the white flower pill, her face will not heal for a while, so I have temporarily lost an opponent.

Sixth, if "White Flower Dan" is discovered one day, Xia Dongchun will be the first to bear the blame.

The seventh one is the most important—today is the second day of the Lantern Festival, and tonight should be the first time I'm called up. Without Yu Ying'er, I wouldn't be sent back. If it were Yu Ying'er, there wouldn't be a "return of the jade intact to Zhao" incident.

Of course, this is not over yet. We will see what happens next.
