This palace comes back in this life, only to be Nian Shilan

Chapter 281 Life and death, destiny and wealth are in heaven

"Pah!" The boiling hot tea soaked the luxurious carpet in Yikun Palace.

Zhou Ninghai lowered his head and dared not answer. He should have been alert, as he had been suspicious the previous two times.

But I didn't investigate further.

Concubine Hua sat in the main seat and fell into silence for a long time.

Songzhi raised her eyelids and secretly looked at Concubine Hua's expression.

Songzhi clearly saw a hint of murderous intent in Concubine Hua's eyes.

The rage bubbling in Concubine Hua's chest was about to explode. If she had not sworn in this life that she would never take human life lightly, her son Ling Xiang would have been whipped eight hundred times by now.

Concubine Hua really didn't expect that this little palace maid from Yikun Palace could have such great abilities.

Previously, Songzhi complained in front of her that Ling Xiang was a palace maid who used her power to bully others. She had been caught by Songzhi many times for accepting bribes from young palace maids and eunuchs outside by using the name of Yikun Palace.

It was because of Songzhi's complaints that Hua Fei was enlightened. Only then did Hua Fei realize that perhaps the Queen did not know about Nanny Zhang.

At that time, Concubine Hua was still complacent about her own cleverness. Who could have thought that Ling Xiang would dare to take advantage of her power.

The one who agreed from Yikun Palace was Prince Dun, who was well versed in the affairs of the harem, so naturally he believed Ling Xiang's lies.

Besides, Prince Dun had always wanted to be on good terms with his brother, and before his brother went to the northwest, he had always refused visitors.

Prince Dun then set his sights on the Yikun Palace.

It is not entirely true to say that Prince Dun completely believed Ling Xiang’s lies.

"Songzhi, go make another cup of tea." Concubine Hua gradually calmed down her anger and began to ponder Prince Dun's intentions.

Everyone in the court knows what the current situation of Old Eight, who was dissatisfied with the emperor's ascension to the throne, is like.

The battle for the throne among the nine princes was so brutal. Prince Dun was on good terms with the Eighth Prince. After the Emperor ascended the throne, he always treated Prince Dun well because of his noble status.

Prince Dun was not a fool. When Ling Xiang said that she was Concubine Hua's woman, Prince Dun probably only believed it to a point.

Prince Dun was still willing to do as Ling Xiang said, simply because he really wanted to tie himself to Yikun Palace.

If something were to happen, Prince Dun would only say that he was instructed by Concubine Hua, not Ling Xiang.

If that time really comes, I'm afraid I won't be able to defend myself.

What's more, the emperor is waiting in the dark for the Nian family to make a mistake.

If you want to add a crime, there is nothing wrong with it.

Moreover, Ling Xiang deceived Prince Dun. Even if she knew about it, it would be impossible for her to openly distance herself from Prince Dun.

Since he couldn't get rid of it himself, his brother naturally had to step in.

It only takes a little time to figure out what Prince Dun wants to do by winning over his brother.

Prince Dun's ultimate goal is his brother. Ling Xiang thought that she was taking advantage of Prince Dun by taking advantage of the popularity of Yikun Palace, but she didn't know that Ling Xiang was also a bait in Prince Dun's hands.

The big fish of Yikun Palace has long been in Prince Dun’s fishing net.

Now, Prince Dun is probably just waiting for the fishing net to be woven tighter.

Wait a minute, Concubine Xin just said that Prince Dun asked Concubine Wan to dance at the banquet.

A drunken prince targeted one of the emperor's favorite concubines.

Prince Dun is not...

"Zhou Ninghai, go to Qixiang Palace and find out what Lingxiang and the Queen said after I and Concubine Jing came out just now."

"Yeah." Zhou Ninghai turned and left the main hall of Yikun Palace.

What Hua Fei didn't expect was that Zhou Ninghai came back shortly after he went out.

It turned out that Zhou Ninghai met Fuzi not far from Yikun Palace.

"Your Majesty, Fuzi said that Lingxiang pretended to faint without telling the Queen, just to get the imperial physician to check her pulse."

"Hmph! Seeing how scheming she is, she ends up living like this under Concubine Li." Songzhi just heard about what Ling Xiang had done in Yikun Palace, and she wanted to go to Qixiang Palace and give Ling Xiang a hand.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Fuzi said that Ling Xiang doesn't look like she's pretending." Zhou Ninghai said.

"How is Concubine Li now?" Concubine Hua remembered that she seemed to have not arranged those three ghosts to work for a long time.

"Although Concubine Li would mock Ling Xiang a few times, she never deducted Ling Xiang's expenses for food, clothing and other expenses. The reason why she invited the imperial physician was because Ling Xiang invited him too frequently, so Concubine Li was in charge of her."

Everyone in the palace knows that Concubine Li feels that she cannot give birth and her eyes are on the piece of meat in Ling Xiang's belly.

"What did Fuzi say about Lingxiang?" Concubine Hua returned to the main topic.

"Fuzi said Lingxiang kept complaining about chest tightness and shortness of breath, and she felt dizzy just sitting there quietly. So she always had to ask the imperial physician to take a look." Zhou Ninghai continued, "In the first few times, Concubine Li was also very worried, but later on, Concubine Li didn't pay much attention to it."

After telling the story of the boy who cried wolf for the third time, I'm afraid the two little girls, Linglong and Wen Yi, won't believe it, let alone an adult like Lipin.

I'm afraid Ling Xiang has been tricked by the Queen and doesn't even realize it.

"By the way, I also asked Xiao Fuzi, and Fuzi said that Ling Xiang has not been out for activities these days because of her poor health, let alone delivering any messages to Prince Dun."

Concubine Hua originally thought that it was Ling Xiang's idea for Prince Dun to provoke Concubine Wan today, but now it seems that is not the case.

If Ling Xiang instigated Prince Dun to provoke Concubine Wan to vent Hua Fei's anger, then Ling Xiang would not have pretended to faint on purpose. Prince Dun made a scene at the banquet, and Hua Fei, who loved to watch the fun, would not miss it.

Is it possible that it was Prince Dun's own bad idea that he came up with, and he was trying to please himself?

After all, just now at the banquet, King Dun smiled at himself in a friendly manner, and his smile was particularly strange.

If you think about it this way, then Prince Dun is really smart enough to do such a thing.

I heard that the war in the northwest is about to be settled, and my brother is going to return to the court again.

It has been so long since the night Linglong had a high fever. Prince Dun was naturally anxious when he saw that there was no movement from Yikun Palace and the Nian family.

It all made sense.

"Is Zhang Mi looking after Ling Xiang's baby now?" asked Concubine Hua.

"That's right, but Doctor Zhang also said it was nothing serious, and Ling Da Ying was just overthinking."

"Are there no problems with food, clothing and other daily necessities?" Hua Fei asked.

"Fuzi said that the Queen personally instructed the Ministry of Internal Affairs to arrange everything, and Fuzi also checked everything one by one, and indeed could not find any problems." Zhou Ninghai used to think that Fuzi was timid and cowardly, and he would hide whenever he saw someone in the Yikun Palace.

I really didn't expect that this little Fuzi would have such great power now.

"Then just keep watching. It's just dizziness. It won't kill you." Concubine Hua asked Zhou Ninghai to leave.

Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are in the hands of God. Lingxiang, I hope she will be blessed with good fortune and a long life.

In the evening, Lipin came and the first thing she talked about was the incident of Prince Dun asking Wanpin to dance at the banquet today.

"I have also heard about this matter. If you have nothing to do, please go back early, Concubine Li." Concubine Hua took a sip of the tea and hinted to send the guest away.

"Haha." Lipin laughed dryly, "Your Majesty is really sharp-eyed and sharp-eared. I am still late."
