Chapter 136 Rescue
Noble Lady Fucha didn't expect that Xia Dongchun could actually see that she was using Concubine Qi to vent her anger. She also didn't expect that her relationship with Concubine Qi was obviously better than that between Xia Dongchun and Concubine Qi, so why would Concubine Qi directly believe Xia Dongchun's words and look at her with such suspicion.
But Noble Lady Fucha also knew that she had to explain quickly, otherwise if Concubine Qi really believed it, wouldn’t she have one more enemy in the future?
"Your Majesty, that's not what I meant. I was just really angry for you. In a hurry, I didn't notice that this place was so close to Shoukang Palace. It was not intentional that I didn't remind you." Noble Lady Fucha looked at Concubine Qi anxiously.
After saying this, seeing that Concubine Qi's suspicion had not been completely dispelled, Noble Lady Fucha added: "What's more, Your Majesty, you are a concubine, and it is only natural for you to teach the concubines under you a lesson. Even if the Queen Mother really knew, she would not be able to say anything."
Xia Dongchun was so happy that she almost burst into laughter. She didn't know what to say to Noble Lady Fucha. In order to keep Concubine Qi's trust in her, she dared to say anything. Even if the Queen Mother had no reason to interfere with Concubine Qi's punishment of the concubines, it didn't mean that the Queen Mother couldn't take care of it.
Noble Lady Fucha made it sound as if the Empress Dowager had no right to interfere. She was truly not afraid that someone would hear her and tell the Empress Dowager.
However, Xia Dongchun naturally would not remind her. She just smiled and said to Noble Lady Fucha, "Noble Lady Fucha's words are not completely unreasonable, but... Concubine Qi's position is higher than that of Concubine Wan. Even if she really wants to teach Concubine Wan a lesson, others can't say anything. But Noble Lady Fucha's position is lower than that of Concubine Wan. What right do you have to order people to teach Concubine Wan a lesson? This doesn't make sense. Could it be that Noble Lady Fucha is already the head of the harem?"
"You--" Noble Lady Fucha couldn't understand when Xia Dongchun became so sharp-tongued, but every word Xia Dongchun said made sense and she really couldn't say anything to refute him.
"Besides, if it's true as Noble Lady Fucha said, that you are wholeheartedly thinking about Concubine Qi, then in a hurry, you should have asked the people around you to teach Concubine Wan a lesson. Why didn't you use the palace maids and eunuchs around you, but instead kept instigating Cuiguo who was beside Concubine Qi?" Xia Dongchun said with a smile.
She had made her words so clearly. If Concubine Qi still didn't understand, then Xia Dongchun could only sigh that there was nothing she could do.
Fortunately, Concubine Qi was an old lady who had stayed in the palace for such a long time. Even if she was stupid, she should have understood what was said.
She immediately glared at Noble Lady Fucha: "You are so good, I trusted you so much and helped you, but now I have become the knife you use to kill someone? Noble Lady Fucha is really capable."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not like that." Noble Lady Fucha was anxious and didn't care about arguing with Xia Dongchun. She immediately pulled Concubine Qi to explain, "This is all Concubine Zhao's speculation, Your Majesty. I don't have such thoughts at all. Please understand, Concubine Qi!"
"Whether it is my speculation or not, I believe you and I both know it well." Xia Dongchun was not angry, but just looked at Noble Lady Fucha with a smile.
In short, no matter what, at least on this matter, Concubine Qi no longer believed in Noble Lady Fucha, and naturally she no longer had the intention to continue to argue with Zhen Huan. Concubine Qi now couldn't wait to leave this place of trouble, as she didn't want any unpleasant words to reach the ears of the Queen Mother.
"Forget it, forget it. I'm in a hurry to pay my respects to the Queen Mother. Cuiguo, let's go." Concubine Qi left with a frown.
Noble Lady Fucha looked at Xia Dongchun with some frustration, and hurried to chase after Concubine Qi.
After they left, Yin Zhu stepped forward and helped Zhen Huan, who had just been punished by Concubine Qi to kneel, up: "Empress Wan, please get up quickly."
After Zhen Huan stood up, she was not used to it for a while and stumbled a bit. After she stood up, she thanked Xia Dongchun first: "I have to thank Concubine Zhao for what happened today. If you hadn't awakened Concubine Qi, I'm afraid today's matter would not have been resolved peacefully."
"You don't have to thank me, Concubine Wan." Although Xia Dongchun hoped that she would remember the favor, she said it very politely. After all, she knew that Zhen Huan was not the kind of ungrateful person. "It's just a small favor. I just can't stand Concubine Fucha's frivolous look. If someone else was embarrassed and humiliated by Concubine Fucha here today, I would also help."
"Anyway, Concubine Zhao did help me today." Zhen Huan was not in a good condition at the moment, so Xia Dongchun ordered Yin Zhu to send her back to Sui Yuxuan.
Zhen Huan did not refuse.
After returning to the Yanxi Palace and closing the door, Yun Ling asked, "Your Majesty, did you really help Concubine Wan today because you couldn't stand Noble Lady Fucha? We can just pretend we didn't see it."
Xia Dongchun chuckled, "Wanpin is just out of favor for the moment. With her previous favor, she will be favored again one day. Why not help her if we can? What's more... I really can't stand the way Noble Lady Fucha is. It would be good to teach her a lesson. Do you think I can't see it? Ever since I was promoted, her eyes are full of jealousy."
"It makes me angry just talking about it." Yun Ling had a lot to say about this. "The emperor came to our place two days ago. Noble Fucha and the maids around her were mocking you, Your Majesty, for being able to see the emperor because of the baby in your belly! It's really abominable!"
"Let her talk." Xia Dongchun stroked her abdomen lightly, her eyebrows raised slightly, "She is just jealous. When she was pregnant with the dragon fetus, didn't she always ask the emperor to come over under the pretext of discomfort? Now, she is just speculating on others with her own thoughts. It's not worth mentioning."
"What about Concubine Wan? My dear, what are you going to do?"
Xia Dongchun's eyes fell on the enamel vase placed by the window: "We don't have to do anything else, but remember to pay more attention to the movements of Sui Yuxuan. We can't take it lightly."
"Yes, I understand." Yun Ling is now willing to listen to Xia Dongchun in everything. She feels that Xia Dongchun is much smarter than when she was just reborn. Although she may not be a big deal in the harem, it is much better than being treated as a chess piece that can be manipulated at will.
