After Hua Fei was reborn, she became the white moonlight of Pangju

Chapter 25: You are satisfied

Seeing the Queen Mother's nervous look, Zhu Xi smiled and said, "You must be worrying too much. You don't know Hua Fei's temperament. How could she have such a brain! And I saw that after Hua Fei left Shoukang Palace, she went to Yanqing Palace angrily."

The Queen Mother frowned and thought for a moment.

"Is this Yanqing Palace the residence of Concubine Duan?"

"Exactly."

"Alas, Concubine Hua still holds a grudge against Concubine Duan for giving her the abortion medicine."

"That's right. I heard that since Concubine Hua was given the power to assist in managing the six palaces, she has been secretly withholding Concubine Duan's expenses. Last winter, there was not even a silver charcoal in Yanqing Palace!"

"I think Concubine Hua hates Concubine Duan very much."

"I understand Concubine Hua's anger, but...it's hard for Concubine Duan."

The Queen Mother sighed deeply, as the past events came back to her mind.

When Concubine Hua found out she was pregnant, she was very happy and looked forward to the birth of her child. The Emperor and the Queen Mother were worried and would never allow Concubine Hua to give birth to a child with Nian's bloodline because it would threaten the Emperor's throne.

The naive Concubine Hua was unaware that she was being feared by the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, and was immersed in the joy of her pregnancy.

She valued the baby in her belly very much, and specially asked the imperial physician Jiang to look after it. She was very careful with everything sent from the palace. The emperor and the queen mother could not blatantly get rid of Hua Fei's child, so they could only instruct Duan Fei to do it.

The Empress Dowager and the Emperor also considered carefully before choosing Concubine Duan.

Concubine Duan has always been a non-competitive person. She remained calm even when the women in the palace were fighting to the death. Because of her non-competitive nature, even the arrogant Concubine Hua did not bully her.

So when Concubine Duan brought the so-called "abortion-preserving medicine" to Concubine Hua, Concubine Hua drank it without any precautions. Soon after, Concubine Hua had a miscarriage, and she realized that it was Concubine Duan who harmed her.

Hua Fei, who was always vindictive, killed the baby in Duan Fei's belly with the same method when she was pregnant. Not only that, Duan Fei also became ill and was bedridden and could no longer have children.

When the Queen Mother heard Zhu Xi say that Concubine Hua deliberately withheld Concubine Duan's expenses, she sighed again, "I am old now, and I can no longer take care of many things."

Zhu Xi said, "It is important for the Queen Mother to take care of her health."

Seeing Concubine Hua heading towards Yanqing Palace, Concubine Cao felt a little scared.

Everyone in the harem knew that Concubine Duan had offended Concubine Hua and had a very difficult life. The emperor rarely saw Concubine Duan, and those servants who looked down on others also bullied Concubine Duan a lot.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the current Yanqing Palace is a cold palace. As soon as Concubine Cao and Wen Yi stepped into it, they felt eerie. She stopped and said, "Your Majesty, Princess Wen Yi has just breastfed. I, your concubine..."

Concubine Hua smiled and interrupted Concubine Cao, "I think Princess Wen Yi is indeed hungry. You can take her back first."

Concubine Cao was quite surprised that Concubine Hua actually let her go first. She said gratefully, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Concubine Hua no longer paid attention to Concubine Cao, and asked the other palace maids to wait outside. She even refused to let Songzhi follow them and went to see Concubine Duan alone.

Concubine Duan lay weakly on the bed, coughing continuously. She was taking medicine when Concubine Hua came in.

"Long time no see, Concubine Duan."

Hearing Concubine Hua's voice, Concubine Duan's face turned even paler. She swallowed the medicine in her mouth and saw Concubine Hua's face that made all the concubines pale.

"How come Concubine Hua has time to come to my Yanqing Palace? Ahem! Ahem!"

Just by saying these words, Concubine Duan began to breathe heavily, and had to rely on her personal maid to help her breathe smoothly before she felt a little better.

Concubine Hua stared at Concubine Duan without blinking: "I really hated you before. I wanted to eat your flesh and drink your blood! But now I don't hate you anymore."

Concubine Duan looked up in surprise, suspecting that she had heard it wrongly.

No one knew how much Hua Fei hated her better than Duan Fei. Although, after the emperor ascended the throne, he gave her the title of Duan Fei, which was a high position.

But in the harem, besides the Queen, Concubine Hua has the final say.

Every time Concubine Duan fell ill, she could not get medical treatment in time. Even if she was treated, the medicine given by the Imperial Hospital was not good. Over the years, Concubine Duan's health became worse and worse.

"It doesn't matter to me whether I hate you or not. I am just a person who is struggling to survive." Concubine Duan smiled bitterly and looked at Concubine Hua. "Are you satisfied with me now?"

Hua Fei looked at Concubine Duan who was out of breath when talking to her, and she suddenly felt that she was too cruel in her previous life. Even if Concubine Duan gave her the abortion medicine, it was the emperor and the empress dowager who forced her to do so. Moreover, she later fed Hua Fei safflower soup, which ruined her health, so it could be considered that the two grudges were offset.

She really shouldn't be so aggressive and push Concubine Duan into a desperate situation.

Hua Fei looked at Duan Fei and said, "Indeed, our children are gone. No matter how much hatred we feel, we can't bring them back. In this deep palace, you and I have too many things that are beyond our control."

Concubine Duan listened to Concubine Hua's words, frowned, and looked at her in disbelief.

"This doesn't sound like something the Hua Fei I know would say."

Hua Fei could understand Duan Fei's feelings. After all, she had been torturing Duan Fei in every possible way over the years. Duan Fei's body was as weak as a willow in the wind, and she could fall down at any time. Hua Fei was the culprit.

"Empress Duan, you should take good care of yourself. Nothing is more important than your health."

After saying this, Concubine Hua walked out of Yanqing Palace with red eyes.

Concubine Duan's personal maid was sent out. When she entered the bedroom, she saw that her master, Concubine Duan, had an unhappy face, and asked worriedly, "But did Concubine Hua bully the queen again? Concubine Hua is really too much. I will tell the queen!"

Concubine Duan stopped her.

"Don't go. Even if you go, the Queen can't control Hua Fei. Besides, I always feel that Hua Fei is different today than before."

The maid asked, "What's the difference?"

Concubine Duan shook her head.

After returning to Yikun Palace, Concubine Hua was still in a state of anxiety. She stroked her flat belly and thought of the child who had died before he was born.

Early the next morning, Concubine Hua sent Songzhi to invite Wen Shichu.

"Songzhi, call Doctor Wen over."

When Wen Shichu heard that it was Concubine Hua calling him, he hurried to Yikun Palace with his medicine box.

As soon as he arrived, he took out the ointment for burns and said, "This is a new medicine that I have developed recently. It is quite effective. Your Majesty, please give it a try."

Wen Shichu heard that Concubine Hua had indeed helped Zhen Huan a lot in recent times. Wen Shichu knew that Concubine Hua was overbearing and bullying others in the harem. This was also what he was most worried about. He was worried that Concubine Hua would bully Zhen Huan.

Now that Concubine Hua is willing to help Zhen Huan, Wen Shichu is naturally very grateful.

"Leave the ointment here. Go to Yanqing Palace to see Concubine Duan."
