The three people behind Zhen Huan under the green shade were too frightened to speak out by Xia Dongchun's tragic situation. After seeing Xia Dongchun being helped down, An Lingrong tugged on Zhen Huan's sleeves and said, "Sister, let's go quickly."
Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang also had this intention, but when the three of them were about to leave, they saw Songzhi looking towards them.
"Who is there who doesn't say hello when he sees your empress?"
Seeing this, Zhen Huan and the others could only walk out in a polite manner.
"Concubine, please see the Concubine Hua, and the Concubine Hua is auspicious."
"Everyone, get up."
"Thank you, Concubine Hua."
Seeing An Lingrong's fearful and guilty look, Concubine Hua knew that she was punishing Xia Dongchun and was being watched by the three of them.
But that's fine. With Xia Dongchun as an example, they should also know who can and can't be provoked in this palace.
"The Imperial Garden in Qiulai is picturesque. The sisters have just entered the palace a few days ago. It's time to walk around the palace carefully so that they don't take the wrong path in the future."
[Huan Huan: My road has just begun, and it is destined to be brilliant. Your road is getting narrower and narrower, and you can already see the end. 】
[At this time, I am weak and helpless and you ask me to kneel down and kowtow. In the future, your building will fall on me and I will risk your life! 】
Zhen Huan raised her head and glanced at Sun Miaoqing, then looked back. It seems that she is the one who wins in the harem fight.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Hua, is right. Concubine, thank you for your advice."
Concubine Hua said, "He is quite smart. It's just my guidance, not just anyone can get it."
"Xia Changzai doesn't understand the rules, and you are not a fuel-efficient lamp either."
"With all the noise today, it's time for lunch. Let's all go back."
After saying that, Concubine Hua took Sun Miaoqing's hand cordially and said, "I and Sister Sun hit it off immediately. There are crabmeal cakes prepared in Yikun Palace. If Sister Sun doesn't dislike it, please go to my place to try it."
Although she wondered why Concubine Hua was treating her differently, Sun Miaoqing guessed that it was probably because of her brother.
But when it comes to crab cakes... Sun Miaoqing's eyes lit up.
[I’m interested if you say this! I heard that the royal palace used serious Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs, unlike a few hundred years later when all that could be bought were Yangcheng Lake bathing crabs. 】
"Thank you, Concubine Hua. I just entered the palace and heard people say that the pastries in your palace are extraordinary."
Concubine Hua said, "Of course, even the emperor is full of praise."
"Songzhi, have some steamed hairy crabs come over and tell the imperial kitchen to ask for Yangcheng Lake ones. Sister Sun is from Suzhou, so she must like this."
As Concubine Hua took Sun Miaoqing to Yikun Palace, Sun Miaoqing was happy when she saw the trio beside her. Thinking of Pao Fu in the imperial garden, she shuddered and became a little more enthusiastic about Concubine Hua. fear.
[Fuzi was like a giant in the well, and most of them have floated up now. Hua Pangpang has one more injustice in his hands. 】
[As expected, there is only one capital crime in the palace, which is the crime of stupidity. Woohoo, even though I didn’t pass the exam to restore diplomatic relations with Qingbei, I probably won’t be punished to death. 】
[Speaking of which, the palace maids are all from the Eight Banners. The Imperial Household has been serving the royal family for generations. The relationship is intricate. The rules in the palace do not allow arbitrary executions. After the emperor found out about this, he was also dissatisfied with Concubine Hua. Concubine Hua herself didn't know it yet. 】
What is the restoration of diplomatic relations between the Qing Dynasty and the North? There is still a test, which sounds similar to that of an academy. Do women in the future have to study like men?
But speaking of Fuzi, isn't it just the trick that the queen forced on her?
Even if he had evil intentions, he still dared to seduce the emperor in front of her on the strength of his beauty and did not crush her to ashes. This was all because of her extra kindness.
But the emperor was dissatisfied with her when he found out?
Concubine Hua couldn't help but worry about this. With her power, of course she couldn't be implicated in the death of a mere palace maid, even if everyone knew it was her.
But she could not care about anything except the emperor's thoughts.
"I suddenly remembered that I have something to give you. Sister Sun and Songzhi will go there first. I will be back soon."
Sun Miaoqing didn't know what Concubine Hua suddenly thought of, but it was better to do less than to do more. Concubine Hua obviously didn't want to tell her, so she didn't dare to ask.
After the others walked away, Concubine Hua looked at Zhou Ninghai with a solemn face.
"How did you deal with that Fuzi last time? Are you sure no one will find out?"
Zhou Ninghai said confidently, "Probably not. After I knocked her unconscious, I found a secluded corner and threw her into a dry well."
"That place is remote and few people go there. The servant only left after watching her sink."
Concubine Hua was always at ease when Zhou Ninghai was doing things. When she heard what he said, she felt relieved. However, when she looked up, she saw several maids and eunuchs running towards her screaming.
Zhou Ninghai quickly protected Concubine Hua, "Things without eyes dare to run around in front of Concubine Hua."
When those eunuchs and maids saw that it was Concubine Hua, they didn't dare to do what they did to the people in Shenmeizhuang just now, and immediately trembled and apologized.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Hua, forgive me. Concubine Hua, forgive me. It's not that the slaves were careless. It's really... it's really..."
Zhou Ninghai asked, "What is it really? Hurry up and tell me!"
The little eunuch said, "I was checking whether there was water in the well in the imperial garden. Who would have expected that a female corpse was found in a well over there."
Concubine Hua looked at Zhou Ninghai speechlessly when she heard this. She really succeeded more than failed. Who just swore to her that she would not be discovered.
Zhou Ninghai shrank his head. He didn't know that people could still float up after they had already sunk.
