Chapter 132: Assassination

The maid said, "Humph, do you think I will believe you? Follow me and go see Concubine Hua!"

The young eunuch kowtowed loudly.

"Auntie, good auntie, spare my life! Please spare me this time!"

Just when the young eunuch hit his head and started bleeding, the voice of the palace maid came from above his head again.

"It's not impossible to ask Concubine Hua to spare you. Come closer. Concubine Hua has something important to tell you."

"Yes!" The young eunuch stood up with tears and snot, walked to the palace maid, and found that the palace maid had a veil covering her face, so his real face could not be seen clearly.

"You will be at............ tomorrow night..."

After the masked maid finished speaking, the young eunuch was stunned for a long while, "Aunt, what if someone dies?"

The masked maid said, "Empress Hua will naturally take care of it for you. Just go ahead and do it. You will definitely get the benefits."

After saying that, the maid handed a golden ingot to the young eunuch and said, "After the matter is completed, Concubine Hua will definitely reward you."

The young eunuch took it and bit it hard with his teeth, which hurt so much.

It’s real money!

"Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely get it done."

"Okay, after the matter is done, you don't have to stay in the palace, just wait for me at the west gate."

"Okay, auntie!"

After explaining the matter, the masked maid left immediately.

Two days of calm made Concubine Hua even more uneasy.

Based on her understanding of the Queen, there is no way the Queen would watch Zhen Huan give birth to a child.

The Queen couldn't possibly be unaware of how well she took care of Zhen Huan.

However, she left the palace, so there was only one possibility, that is, An Lingrong would take action on behalf of the Queen.

Thinking of this, Concubine Hua hurriedly sent Zhou Ninghai to monitor An Lingrong's movements in Mingse Residence.

In the evening, Zhou Ninghai hurried to report, "Madam, Baojuan from Mingseju has sneaked back from Tatan (where the eunuchs live)."

Hua Fei immediately asked: "Who did you meet? Do you know?"

Zhou Ninghai immediately became interested: "I went to ask around and found out that she actually met a young eunuch and talked to him in private for a long time!"

Concubine Hua said solemnly: "Who is that young eunuch? Have you found out?"

Zhou Ninghai shook his head. "When I went there, the eunuch had already run away. I couldn't find him."

Hua Fei was a little anxious, "Then why are you still standing there? Find it as soon as possible, the sooner the better!"

Baojuan would not appear in Tatan (where the eunuchs lived) for no reason. There must be some conspiracy. Concubine Hua concluded that An Lingrong had already started to deal with Zhen Huan.

She must not let An Lingrong succeed.

The next day, Concubine Hua woke up in a daze and asked Songzhi whether Zhou Ninghai had come to the palace.

Songzhi said no.

Concubine Hua sat in the Yikun Palace anxiously.

After waiting for about an hour, Zhou Ninghai still did not come back to report, so she asked Songzhi to send a few skilled and clever eunuchs to wait near Sui Yuxuan and inform her immediately if anything happened.

A midday passed and the harem was still peaceful.

As the sky gradually darkened, the harem remained peaceful.

Concubine Hua stood up and said, "Go to Suiyuxuan."

No matter what tricks An Lingrong plays, as long as Concubine Hua is by Zhen Huan's side, she doesn't believe that An Lingrong will be able to succeed.

Zhen Huan was not surprised to see Concubine Hua coming. The two of them sat down, brewed tea and chatted.

When it was time for dinner, Zhen Huan saw that Concubine Hua had no intention of leaving, so she asked the kitchen to prepare dinner for two.

Concubine Hua drank some wine and chatted with Zhen Huan about random topics.

Zhen Huan drank the chicken soup and responded to her.

The atmosphere is not lively, but harmonious.

When they were almost done eating, a eunuch's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Lady Wan, something bad has happened! Lady An has been punished by Lady Fucha to kneel and be whipped. Please go and save her!"

Zhen Huan frowned and asked hurriedly, "What's going on?"

The young eunuch thought for a moment, "I don't know exactly, but I heard that Lady An and Noble Lady Fucha had an argument. Noble Lady Fucha got angry and had someone pin Lady An to the ground and beat her."

Zhen Huan looked at Concubine Hua with an apologetic look on her face.

"Your Highness, I'm very sorry. I have to leave you now."

As she said this, she stood up with her belly bulging.

Concubine Hua held her back and said, "Lady Wan, Lady Fucha is the head of the Yanxi Palace. It is in accordance with the rules to teach An a lesson."

Zhen Huan was silent for a while, then said, "After all, we are sisters who entered the palace together. Her servants have come to beg me, so I can't refuse to go."

Concubine Hua knew that Zhen Huan was still a kind person at this time, so it was unlikely that she would stand idly by when faced with An Lingrong's request for help.

"Lady Wan." Concubine Hua signaled Zhen Huan with her eyes to look at the scar-removing glue on the table.

When Zhen Huan saw the bottle of scar-removing gel, there was a hint of coldness in her eyes.

She gritted her teeth and sighed, "For the last time, I will show my sisterly love for the last time."

Zhen Huan stood up, looked at the eunuch kneeling on the ground and said, "I'll go with you."

The eunuch immediately kowtowed, "Thank you, noble lady Wan!"

Concubine Hua was worried after all.

"In that case, I will go with Lady Wan."

Zhen Huan turned around, quite surprised, "Empress Hua, it's so late, I won't bother you anymore."

Hua Fei said: "It's not a problem. I don't have much to do."

She looked at Zhen Huan's belly and continued, "You are pregnant now, and I am more nervous than you are."

Zhen Huan understood what Hua Fei meant. She stroked her belly and said, "In that case, I will trouble Hua Fei."

It didn't snow at night, but the temperature dropped faster because it was dark.

Concubine Hua and Zhen Huan were walking on the palace road, each holding a heater in their hands.

Originally, Zhen Huan said she wanted to ride in a sedan chair, but Concubine Hua remembered that a concubine had miscarried after falling out of a sedan chair when she was pregnant a few years ago, so she suggested that Zhen Huan not ride in it.

After listening to Concubine Hua's story, Zhen Huan felt a little scared.

The two of them walked through a small bamboo forest.

At this moment, the moon was suddenly covered by dark clouds, and the surroundings suddenly became much darker.

Concubine Hua turned around and was about to tell Zhen Huan to be careful with the road, when she saw a figure rushing out from the bamboo forest and rushing directly towards Zhen Huan.

Seeing that Zhen Huan was about to be knocked away, Concubine Hua didn't even think twice and stood in front of Zhen Huan at the critical moment.

"Xiao Yunzi, protect your young master!"

Before she finished her words, Concubine Hua felt a sharp pain in her abdomen.

With the help of the palace maids' lanterns, she lowered her eyes and saw a knife stuck in her abdomen.

Xiao Yunzi originally rushed over to protect Zhen Huan, but when he saw Concubine Hua being stabbed, he punched away the person who attacked Concubine Hua.

The palace maids screamed in fear, and the remaining eunuchs, some of whom were Concubine Hua's men, immediately pinned the man to the ground.

"My Queen!" Zhen Huan quickly supported Concubine Hua, tears falling down her face, "You saved Zhen Huan's life!"

Hua Fei endured the severe pain and ordered: "You must keep him alive and find out who is behind this!"

Zhen Huan nodded with tears in her eyes, "Don't worry, your majesty, I will definitely find out the real culprit."
