The rockery is winding and overlapping, with many paths in between.

Chun'er climbed all the way to the top, quickly took the kite in her hands, and walked back happily, skipping and jumping. After walking a few steps, she suddenly heard a voice from below the rockery:

"Get up. I have a note here. You must hand it to the general in person."

Hua Fei's voice! Chun Er suddenly became curious and leaned against the stone, looking down. She saw Hua Fei casually sprinkled fish food into the lake below and continued:

"The people above are all seeking official positions. Let the general see if they can be used."

"Yes, the general said that if the queen encounters any inconvenience in the palace, please let me know and the general will take care of it for her." It was a eunuch who was unfamiliar with the ears, and his voice came from the cracks in the stone.

Chun Er was shocked by the content of their conversation. Was Concubine Hua selling official positions? She could only see Concubine Hua. She wanted to see who was in contact with Concubine Hua, so she reached out again.

Hua Fei was very satisfied that her brother loved her: "Okay, without saying anything else, tell the general that he must have his own people in the court. Those who annoy us, such as Wanpin's father, should be eliminated when the opportunity arises."

The eunuch was very arrogant: "I understand. The general said that it is not a good idea to get rid of Zhen Yuandao all at once because he is afraid that he will be too heavy-handed and alarm the emperor."

Chun'er was shocked to know that Uncle Zhen was in danger. She stood up and was about to move. She had to tell Sister Wan immediately. No, she had better listen to what plans Concubine Hua had so that she could take precautions. Thinking of this, she stopped and continued to listen.

Hua Fei continued in her characteristic lazy voice: "No matter what he does, I don't care. I just want to be happy. And don't come to me if you don't have anything to do. I will notify you to come here if I want to find you."

Chun'er was furious. Did the Nian family just ignore the life of Uncle Zhen? She wanted to see who the eunuch was who was communicating with Concubine Hua. Then she would ask Sister Wan to go to the emperor and file a complaint. She would see how Concubine Hua could still be so arrogant.

It was the first time that Lipin went out with Hua Fei to do such a thing. She stood opposite the Imperial Lake, feeling flustered and scared, fearing that someone would suddenly come and expose the matter to the Emperor. She could only look around with her eyes, and she would jump up in fright at the slightest breeze. She wished she had eyes on her back. When she saw that the eunuch was about to bow and leave Hua Fei, she breathed a sigh of relief. It was finally over.

No, what is that colorful thing on the stone above Concubine Hua? Concubine Li took a closer look and was immediately frightened to death: "My lady, there is someone above you, it is Concubine Chun."

The sharp scream immediately alarmed several people. Chun'er reacted very quickly. Seeing that he had been exposed, he turned around and ran downstairs.

Concubine Hua calmed down and gave Zhou Ninghai a look. Zhou Ninghai understood and immediately went after him. Then Concubine Hua said to the eunuch, "You should leave the palace quickly and hide for the time being."

The eunuch knew the seriousness of the matter, so he quickly crouched and left along the edge of the Imperial Lake. At this time, Lipin came around quickly, and she said in a panic, "Your Majesty, what should we do? What if Concubine Chun tells the emperor?"

Hua Fei was also panicking, but she forced herself to remain calm and glared at Li Fei fiercely: "Fool, stop shouting, do you want to attract more people? Remember, today you are just accompanying me to enjoy the scenery. If you dare to say a word, I will throw you into the lake to feed the fish. Go back to the palace quickly and find Concubine Cao for me."

Several people turned around and quickly left along the lake.

The guards in the distance heard Lipin's shouting and came over from the other end.

The rockery was undulating. Chun'er was wearing flowerpot bottoms and was not running very fast. She could hear hurried footsteps coming from behind.

Did Concubine Hua kill herself to silence her? How dare she? No, she dared to sell official positions and let Nian Gengyao get rid of Uncle Zhen. She was so bold that she really dared to kill herself.

Chun'er became more and more scared the more she thought about it. Listening to the footsteps behind her, it was like the cry of death. In her extreme fear, she even forgot to ask for help.

Zhou Ninghai was chasing closely behind, and when he saw the corner of Chun'er's pink clothes disappearing around the corner, he sneered.

He and Concubine Hua often came here, and he knew the way very well. He immediately took a shortcut to block Chun'er.

At this moment, Chun Er vaguely saw a hint of yellow, and immediately stopped in delight, shouting, "I'm here."

The cry was so clear and crisp that Zhen Huan, who was far away under the rockery, heard it. She immediately smiled and said to Fang Ruo, "We found her. Aunt must have a way. Otherwise, it would not be easy to catch Chun Er, who likes to play, in this winding path."

Fang Ruo had a different opinion: "Your Majesty, I think Miss Chun might have encountered something. Otherwise, according to her personality, she would just secretly appear to amuse you. Hurry up and send someone to help her."

Zhen Huan was so frightened that she broke out in a sweat: "Huanbi, Xiao Yunzi, go up and take a look."

The two of them were also startled and hurriedly ran forward.

Just as Zhou Ninghai reached the shortcut, he heard Chun'er's call. He thought something was wrong and wanted to go back the same way, but he was afraid of being blocked by others. So he took a few quick steps forward, quietly went into the water in a secluded place, swam into a narrow cave in the rockery and hid himself.

The third-class guard came to pick up Chun'er. When Chun'er saw his savior coming, he pointed back and said, "Quick, someone wants to hurt me, catch him."

At this time, Huanbi and Xiao Yunzi also came to Chun'er, and they coaxed Chun'er to come down from the rockery.

The guard saw that she was protected and hurried to the back to look for her.

Before Chun Er reached Zhen Huan, she thought of the shock she had today, her eyes turned red, and she cried:

"Sister Wan, I almost couldn't see you."

Zhen Huan heard this and asked in fear: "Chun Er, what happened? Tell me slowly and I will make the decision for you."

Chun'er was still afraid. The sound of the hurried footsteps seemed to still surround her. She sobbed and said, "I heard Concubine Hua was going to give a note with a name on it to General Nian, saying what could be used and what couldn't be used. I also heard her say that she wanted to get rid of Uncle Zhen. I wanted to hear more so that I could tell my sister to be on guard against her, but Lipin found me and they sent people to chase me. Sister, I'm so scared. Concubine Hua is so fierce. Will she come after me?"

Zhen Huan and Fang Ruo looked at each other and saw astonishment in each other's eyes. The Nian family actually colluded with each other inside and outside to sell official positions and titles. This was blatant bribery and forming a clique for personal gain.

Seeing Chun Er was too frightened, Zhen Huan quickly held her in her arms and comforted her:

"It's okay. I'm here. I won't let her bully you. Don't be afraid. Think about it carefully. Have you seen anyone else?"

This question made Chun'er cry even more fearfully: "Sister Wan, I was discovered just because I wanted to see clearly. That person was a eunuch. He stood too close to the inside and I couldn't see. Sister, am I useless?"

Zhen Huan patiently coaxed her, "How could that be? Chun'er is the bravest one. It's really amazing that you were able to discover such an important thing. Don't cry. You need to think about how to tell the emperor."

Chun Er boasted: "Sister, I asked the guard to find the person who was chasing me. Once he is caught, I can tell the emperor."

Zhen Huan: "Okay, let's wait and see."

More than a quarter of an hour later, the guard returned with nothing.

Zhen Huan and Chun'er were filled with disappointment and could only return to Sui Yuxuan to think of a solution.
