"My lady!" Liuzhu rushed forward and helped Zhen Huan up, "Are you okay?"

Liuzhu carefully wiped the dirt off Zhen Huan's hands with a handkerchief, and looked at the person who came with an angry look, only to find that it was Xia Dongchun. She swallowed the words she was about to curse.

Huanbi was unwilling to bear this, and rushed over directly, "Xia Changzai, our young lady was also appointed Changzai by the emperor himself, you are going too far!"

Xia Dongchun was jealous of Zhen Huan's favor, so she deliberately pushed her to the ground when Zhen Huan bumped into her. Now, seeing that Zhen Huan's maid Huanbi dared to accuse her, she raised her hand in anger and wanted to slap Huanbi in the face.

How could Zhen Huan tolerate Xia Dongchun bullying Huanbi? She stepped forward and grabbed Xia Dongchun's wrist, "Xia Changzai, Huanbi is ignorant. Why did you get angry and hurt yourself?"

Xia Dongchun snorted coldly and pushed Zhen Huan away again. Zhen Huan was not as good as Xia Dongchun in military career, so she staggered back a step after being pushed by Xia Dongchun, and fell into a warm embrace.

"Mrs. Wan, what's wrong?" Concubine Hua's domineering yet gentle voice sounded above Zhen Huan's head.

Zhen Huan turned around and realized that she had bumped into Concubine Hua's arms. She quickly stepped aside, stood up and saluted, "Madam Concubine Hua, please forgive me for bumping into you."

Seeing that Zhen Huan seemed very afraid of Concubine Hua, Xia Dongchun took the opportunity to confuse right and wrong, "It was Concubine Wan who was blind and bumped into me first, and then bumped into you, Concubine Hua!"

Huanbi was impatient, she took a step forward and said angrily, "Xia Changzai, my young lady bumped into you accidentally, why are you being so aggressive?"

Zhen Huan shouted, "Huanbi!"

Huanbi rolled her eyes at Xia Dongchun, snorted coldly, and shut her mouth unwillingly.

Zhen Huan didn't want to make enemies in the palace, so she smiled and said, "Xia Changzai, it was indeed my fault just now. Sister is magnanimous, please don't hold it against me."

Xia Dongchun snorted coldly, "If you want me to ignore it, I can do that. Just kneel down and apologize, and I will forgive you."

Huanbi raised her voice, "Chairwoman Xia, you are going too far!"

Xia Dongchun glared at Huanbi and sneered at Zhen Huan, "Wan Changzai, this is the maid you taught? She is even more arrogant than your master, and she even dares to say bad things about me?

Zhen Huan glared at Huan Bi and said, "You are disrespectful. Apologize to Lady Xia."

Huanbi was angry, but she also knew that offending Xia Dongchun would cause trouble for Zhen Huan, so she had to swallow her anger and apologize reluctantly.

Xia Dongchun refused to give in and looked at the young eunuch next to him, "Slap him!"

The young eunuch was afraid of Concubine Hua, but not of Huanbi, so he slapped Huanbi in the face.

Huanbi covered her face in grievance and looked at Zhen Huan with tears in her eyes.

Zhen Huan stepped forward angrily and asked, "Xia Changzai, if Huanbi did anything wrong, I can teach her myself. Why do you have to do it yourself?"

Xia Changzai curled her lips diagonally: "Don't be impatient, sister hasn't settled the score with you yet. The matter of you bumping into me just now is not over yet."

When Concubine Hua saw Xia Dongchun pressing Zhen Huan step by step, she knew it was time for her to take action.

She walked in front of Zhen Huan, blocked Zhen Huan behind her, and smiled gently at Xia Dongchun, "Xia Changzai, please forgive others when you can."

Xia Dongchun was shocked when she saw Concubine Hua standing up to help Zhen Huan. After all, she had heard about Concubine Hua's tyranny, and her position was indeed higher than hers.

Originally, she thought that Hua Fei would scold her harshly, but she didn't. Instead, she spoke to her gently, which surprised Xia Dongchun.

In addition, the offense that Concubine Hua had just committed against her was not pursued. Xia Dongchun thought that the legendary Concubine Hua was just a person who looked strong on the outside but was weak on the inside. This was a good opportunity to suppress Concubine Hua and seek credit in front of the Queen.

Thinking of this, Xia Dongchun smiled coldly at Concubine Hua, "Concubine Hua, are you going to favor Concubine Wan? This is unfair. I think it would be better for you to give up your power to assist in managing the six palaces."

When these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked.

Xia Dongchun must be really bold to say such things about Concubine Hua? She doesn't want to live anymore.

Everyone's eyes were on Concubine Hua. They quietly observed her expression and waited for her thundering wrath.

Songzhi had endured it again and again, but now she saw her master being bullied by Xia Changzai, who was of a lower rank, she could no longer bear it and rushed out to scold, "Our queen is the imperial concubine, Xia Changzai, you are talking back to her, why don't you kneel down now!"

Xia Dongchun was a little scared after being scolded by Song Zhi. However, when she thought about how she could suppress Hua Fei's arrogance and gain the Queen's favor and appreciation, she still said, "So what if Hua Fei is a noble concubine? She is biased towards Wan Changzai, which is unfair. Doesn't she allow others to question her ability?"

Song Zhi gritted her teeth and glared, "How dare you!"

Hua Fei waved her hand, "Songzhi, please leave."

Song Zhi was unwilling to give in, "My Queen, Concubine Xia actually disregarded the hierarchy in the palace!"

Hua Fei's face darkened, and she slowly uttered two words, "I ask you to leave."

Seeing that Concubine Hua was already angry, Songzhi had to hold back her anger and stepped aside. She wanted to find Zhou Ninghai to complain, but after a quick glance, she found that Zhou Ninghai was nowhere to be found.

Xia Dongchun looked at the majestic Concubine Hua, who was gradually approaching her, and she felt an unprecedented sense of oppression. She began to feel a little scared, but she still acted very strong on the surface.

"Hua Fei, what are you doing? Are you trying to bully the powerful?"

Concubine Hua stopped less than fifty centimeters away from Xia Dongchun. A gentle smile appeared on her charming face. With this smile, her voice became a little softer. "Mrs. Xia, you are right. I am indeed unworthy of the power to assist in managing the six palaces. I will resign from the emperor tomorrow."

Xia Dongchun didn't expect that Concubine Hua was not angry at all, and she took the initiative to admit her mistake. This caught her off guard.

Just when she didn't know how to reply to Concubine Hua, Su Peisheng's voice rang out, "The Emperor has arrived!"

Xia Dongchun looked up and realized belatedly that the emperor had been nearby without her noticing. She was so shocked that she knelt on the ground and shouted with everyone, "May the emperor be safe!"

The emperor glanced at Xia Dongchun coldly, walked straight to Concubine Hua, and helped her up with both hands. "Someone is riding on your head, why don't you know how to fight back?"

Hua Fei looked at Xia Dongchun and sighed, "Xia Changzai is straightforward and quick-witted, and she didn't mean it. Your Majesty, please don't blame her."

The emperor twisted the Buddhist beads in his hand vigorously and looked at Xia Dongchun coldly.
