TV Series: When the Villain Chooses to Stand by

Chapter 148 Yixiu 17

"Are you serious, Your Majesty?" Jingpin's mind went blank for a moment, but her rationality quickly returned.

As everyone knows, Huanyixiang was specially prepared by the emperor for Concubine Hua. It is a one-of-a-kind item and it is impossible for others to get their hands on it.

In this case, the only one who wants Concubine Hua to be unable to have children... is the Emperor.

"You have been highly valued by the Emperor since you entered the palace. Even the Empress has to give you some distance. How could such favoritism be possible?"

Jingpin's words made Huafei fall into silence.

This question is the topic she has been avoiding all the time. Yes, why?

Concubine Hua raised her head proudly, not wanting anyone to see her loneliness.

He shook his head nonchalantly, "It's just a man's thing, power and status, what else could it be?"

"But it doesn't matter. The emperor is my enemy now. Nothing can change that. There's a child's life between him and me."

Jingpin ignored the sadness in her heart and was shocked speechless again.

This statement was already very clear. She had some knowledge, but she didn't know that such affection and preference could be faked.

"Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs..." She lowered her eyes and muttered to herself.

Hua Fei sneered. Every time she mentioned this matter, she gnashed her teeth in hatred. "Yes, but some people are worse than animals."

"I only want a child of my own and would never talk nonsense like this."

Hua Fei's solemn look shattered Jingpin's last bit of hope, and she completely believed what the other party said.

She used to think that she was unlucky and not favored, which was why she had no children.

Only today did I realize that I had just suffered an unexpected disaster.

The emperor, who was high and mighty, knew exactly what he had done and what the consequences would be, but he still allowed himself to live there.

It's so cruel that they didn't say a word for many years.

After a brief moment of sadness, Concubine Jing wiped the tears from her face and raised her head. Her upbringing did not allow her to vent her emotions in the Yiku Palace.

"What does your Majesty need from me?"

Jingpin looked straight at Hua Fei, having long forgotten the nervousness she felt when she first entered the room. Her mind was filled with the thought of making the other party pay the price.

Seeing that she was so decisive, a hint of admiration appeared in Hua Fei's eyes.

She was afraid of meeting someone who was confused and would cry and make a fuss after hearing such news. Not only would he not believe it, but he would also insist on producing evidence himself.

This is great. Only with mutual trust can we have further cooperation.

"I need..."

After hearing Hua Fei's request, Jingpin tilted her head and began to think.

Although she was unwilling to admit it, Jingpin had to agree with Hua Fei's words. They had families behind them, and the prince was still young. Even if he made up his mind to fight the emperor to the death.

The subsequent costs are not something they can afford, so this matter can only be handled slowly.

In return, she now has to help Concubine Hua solve her current predicament.

But this...

"Your Majesty, Concubine Cao requests an audience."

Just when Jingpin was worried, Songzhi's voice happened to sound.

Hua Fei's eyes lit up, thinking that the other party had a good idea, and said anxiously: "Let her in."

Turning to look at Concubine Jing, he said, "Listen to me too. If there is anything wrong with Concubine Cao's method, it would be better to improve it in time."

Only then did Jingpin realize that she was not the only one who had taken on this task.

After thinking it over, Concubine Cao finally decided to come and confess her crime. When she saw Concubine Jing, her eyes suddenly lit up.

Finally, a powerful person came. Lipin really... couldn't see anything except favor.

I can't even carry it with me.

Under Concubine Hua's expectant gaze, Concubine Cao said with a stiff upper lip, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am stupid and can't think of any good solution at the moment."

Seeing that Concubine Hua was about to get angry, Concubine Jing spoke.

As soon as the two of them looked at each other, she knew what Concubine Cao was worried about, and some things really needed to be made clear.

"My Lady, there are ways to achieve our goal, though it's a little difficult. However, it's impossible to achieve our goal by ensuring that you remain unharmed."

"Court Lady Cao probably can't think of a way to have the best of both worlds, right?"

Concubine Hua looked at her with a questioning look, and Concubine Cao hurriedly nodded in acknowledgment.

"From now on, if you have something to say, just say it directly. There's no need to hide it. I'm not such a stingy person. Get up."

Knowing that the other party was really concerned about her health, Concubine Hua's expression became much better.

"Then tell me what you can do. I am not afraid of suffering."

After some discussion, Concubine Hua's frown finally relaxed.

"Don't worry, Madam. This trick may be common, but it is miraculously effective. There are many similar examples throughout history. As long as you perform well, it won't be a problem."

The stone in Concubine Cao's heart finally fell, and the smile on her face became relaxed.

Today she finally experienced the joy of having her companions support her.

"Yes, the Empress has been working hard these days. She is ill, and the Emperor doesn't like to go to the enclosure. Our chance lies in the Old Summer Palace."

"Just go ahead and do it. If you need anyone, come to Songzhi. She will arrange for someone reliable."

Hua Fei also knew how serious the matter would be if it happened, and did not want to get herself out of it.

If we are discovered, we will both die together. Why bother with so much else?

Not long after, a big incident happened in the palace. Concubine Hua was in the mood to watch the carp at night, but she accidentally fell into the pond because it was dark.

The palace servants rescued the man in time, but he is still unconscious.

Song Zhi looked at the pill in her hand with some hesitation, "Doctor Shen, are you sure this medicine won't show any signs of harm? Or maybe forget it. The Queen has indeed fallen into the water, so this should be something we can fool her into thinking."

"Stop talking nonsense. The people my brother sent won't harm me."

Hua Fei leaned on the bed, took the medicine, turned around and swallowed it.

This time he was really unconscious.

As Songzhi cried and wailed, more and more imperial doctors came, and the emperor and concubines also arrived.

In Jingren Palace, Jianqiu was preparing to change Yixiu's clothes and wash her, but she saw that she had no intention of moving.

"Don't bother. Concubine Hua probably doesn't want to bother with the Emperor anymore. This matter won't involve other concubines. It's nothing serious. Send someone to reply and tell them that I have a headache and can't go."

"Yes, I will go there with the herbs."

Jianqiu thought the same thing, so she cut the candle wick short and left without delaying Yixiu from braiding Xiaobai's hair.

The imperial doctors in the Yikun Palace were kneeling on the ground, all with worried looks on their faces.

He didn't fall into the water for long and didn't choke on much water, so why does his pulse look so serious? There is no trace of other medicine.

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang stood together. Seeing the emperor looking at Concubine Hua so anxiously, she felt very uncomfortable.

I heard that Concubine Hua was favored, but how could it be true after seeing it with my own eyes?

I used to think that the emperor was heartless, but that was all an illusion. Looking at him now, I wonder how much he likes him.

Shen Meizhuang tilted her head to look at Zhen Huan, and her hands moved a little harder, reminding her to pay attention to the occasion.

Zhen Huan quickly came to her senses, looked up and gave Shen Meiyu a grateful smile.

An Lingrong and Xia Dongchun followed Fucha Guiren obediently, trying their best to reduce their presence. It was better not to show up when the emperor was furious.

Xia Dongchun was held down tightly, pouting and glancing at the bed from the corner of her eyes. She wanted to take a closer look but couldn't move forward even a step.
