After staring at the bed curtain for a long time, Concubine Hui looked at Lianyun and urged her.
"Liu Yun, go get a pack of fire-making powder and give it to Li Chunxiang. If she is willing to serve me, give this powder to the seventh prince to drink. If you drink it a few times, the disease may really be cured."
The seventh prince's body is afraid of strong fire. If he drinks this fire-making powder, he is afraid that his old illness will relapse.
"Aunt, powder for making fire? I'm afraid Li Chunxiang won't do that... If she doesn't accept it and instead tells it, Aunt is not..."
Lianyun was a little frightened. With Li Chunxiang's personality, why was she unwilling to compromise, especially when it came to harming others? Concubine Hui would not have shot herself in the foot.
"Do you think my aunt really asked Li Chunxiang to drug her? This is just to test her. Accepting it means she is sincere. If she refuses, you will take the drug back. If she wants to talk nonsense, someone must believe it. Then she will
Let the prince handle her, this beautiful woman is of no use, it would be better not to have her at all."
Concubine Hui's face became colder and colder, and when she spoke, it sent chills down Lianyun's spine.
"Yes, aunt, I'll go right away."
Lianyun turned around and went out.
"The old slave has gone back to wait for news."
Eunuch Wang also withdrew. In an instant, the palace became quiet, but Concubine Hui couldn't fall asleep anymore. She looked at her wrist and couldn't figure out what Li Chunxiang was thinking about, and helped her.
, but didn’t want to get close to her.
And the emperor...
What on earth made the emperor have this idea? There must be some reason.
"You'd better agree, otherwise..."
Concubine Hui slammed her hand on the bed. She would never allow such a stumbling block on the way forward.
The hospital finally became quiet. Chu Qiao lay on the bed and pulled up the quilt. Although she was already exhausted and should have gone to bed long ago, she did not dare to close her eyes for a moment.
She kept staring at the door, fearing that Xiao Fu and the others would leave and come back, but the door could not withstand their collision.
After staring like this for a long time, a double image appeared in her vision. She was a little dazed. Finally, she couldn't hold on anymore and closed her eyes. After being blurry for a while, she was awakened by a knock on the door.
"Who?" Chu Qiao jumped off the bed and asked in a trembling voice.
"Chunxiang, this is Lianyun." A familiar voice came from outside the door.
Lianyun, why is she here so late?
Chu Qiao was slightly relieved when she heard that it was not Xiao Luck and them. She lit the candle on the table, walked outside the door, and slowly opened the door a crack. When she found out that it was indeed Lianyun, she opened the door wide.
.
"Why are you here?"
Chu Qiao stepped aside and looked at Lian Yun strangely, surprised by the woman's sudden appearance. Speaking of which, they hadn't seen each other for a long time since they parted in the imperial dining room.
Chu Qiao looked at the woman in front of her. Lian Yun seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and her expression was very tired. There was a little more maturity and sadness between her eyebrows. She was no longer as carefree as before, talking and laughing, as if she had become a different person.
After Lianyun walked in, Chu Qiao quickly closed the door and carefully locked it.
"Do you have a problem with me?" Chu Qiao turned around and asked.
"It's nothing, I just haven't seen you for a long time and I wanted to come and see you." Lianyun replied while looking at the room. The conditions here seemed to be much better than the imperial dining room.
"Come to see me so late?" Chu Qiao smiled dryly, knowing such an excuse. She didn't come to see me yesterday, and she didn't come to see me in the evening, but she came so late in the night.
"Sometimes I really envy you. Every time a disaster strikes, you can turn disaster into good fortune. Although my identity is different from yours, I don't have such a good life as you."
Lianyun walked to the table and sat on the chair. It looked like he wouldn't leave anytime soon.
Chu Qiao glanced out the window. It seemed like she couldn't sleep tonight. These people wouldn't let her go until they tortured her to death.
"Why are we different in status? Aren't we all from the imperial dining room?"
"To be honest, I am the niece of Concubine Hui." Lianyun followed Concubine Hui's instructions and directly showed her identity.
"My biological niece?"
This sentence really shocked Chu Qiao. She thought that Lian Yun was just a palace maid placed in the dining room by Concubine Hui, and had the same status as Lan Hui, but she didn't expect that she was actually Concubine Hui's niece?
Chu Qiao looked at Lianyun in confusion, unable to believe what she said. Since she was Empress Hui’s biological niece, how could the prince and his father-in-law dare to treat her like that? Could it be that Concubine Hui just let it go?
"Don't be so surprised. Even if I am her niece, it will only change my destiny."
Chu Qiao's surprised expression made Lianyun feel embarrassed. As the niece of Concubine Hui, she seemed to have had a miserable life. This was all thanks to the prince and her father-in-law. At the same time, she also hated her aunt.
"You came here just to tell me this?" Chu Qiao asked back.
No matter how mysterious Lian Yun's identity is, whether she is Empress Hui's niece or the niece of another empress, it seems to have nothing to do with her. She must have other purposes for visiting so late at night.
Lianyun curled his lips and chuckled.
"I was deemed to have been your friend, and I was entrusted by Concubine Hui to ask you..."
"What are you asking?" When the name of Concubine Hui was mentioned, Chu Qiao's heart tightened. Concubine Hui did not hesitate to tell her the identity of her niece. Isn't this a bit...
"In this harem, except for the emperor, no one can exist alone. Just like you, just like me, we all, no matter whether we are humble or noble, we must have our own allies, otherwise, we will be defeated overnight.
You should understand what I mean. My aunt likes you very much. Bingxue is smart and well-informed, so she intends to cultivate you. From now on, you will be a member of Yiying Studio. If that is the case, we can really become sisters in the future...
…”
Lian Yun's voice did not change, but the tone and content of the words made Chu Qiao very uneasy. Undoubtedly, Lian Yun came this time to send a message for Concubine Hui to win over her.
"Luan Yun, you know that I don't want to participate in these things, and I'm not good at them. I just want to take care of myself, so there is no need to worry, I will never do anything harmful to your aunt."
Now that the words have been spoken, Chu Qiao is not afraid to be honest and open. She has no intention of fighting with anyone, nor will she murder anyone for the sake of anyone. The fight in the harem has nothing to do with her.
"You know how my aunt is. She won't do anything she's not sure about. All your actions seem to be against her, so how can she believe you based on just your words?"
Lianyun held Chu Qiao's hand and put a packet of medicinal powder into her hand.
