In Yanqing Palace, Concubine Duan looked half-dead.

After Concubine Hua entered the palace, Concubine Duan leaned against Jixiang and saluted tremblingly.

Concubine Hua did not shout, but said sarcastically: "Geng Yuebin, you have a long life."

Concubine Duan coughed twice before replying, "Your Majesty is still as bright and beautiful as before."

Zhou Ninghai put down the chair brought from Yikun Palace and Concubine Hua sat on it.

Then, Concubine Hua started to find fault, saying, "I have been here for a long time, but no one has even served me a cup of tea. Is this how Concubine Duan treats guests?"

Concubine Duan struggled to stand up crookedly by holding on to the table beside her, and said to Jixiang, "Quick, go and serve tea to the queen."

Songzhi said, "Empress Duan was able to go so far to rescue Concubine Wan, but every time she sees you, she looks like she's about to die."

Concubine Duan's eyes were sharp, Songzhi smiled and said to Concubine Hua: "Madam Hua, after talking for a while, I think Concubine Duan must be thirsty too."

Concubine Hua laughed coldly and said, "Then serve Concubine Duan some soup."

Songzhi picked up the safflower soup from the tray held by a young palace maid nearby, and several palace maids held Concubine Duan down.

Songzhi walked up to Concubine Duan and took a look at the soup bowl.

This bowl of safflower soup is different from the previous ones.

Safflower and euphorbia are both blood-activating herbs.

If the two are used together, the effect will be at least tenfold.

Concubine Duan struggled weakly, and Jixiang ran over to stop her, but was captured by the young eunuchs led by Zhou Ninghai.

A bowl of safflower soup, half of it spilled out.

Concubine Duan was quite strong this time. Compared to her previous weak and limp state, this time it seemed like she was struggling for her life.

It seems that Concubine Duan also knew who killed Zhen Huan, and was afraid that this bowl of safflower soup would cost her life.

Concubine Duan’s acting is really good, she has deceived Concubine Hua for so many years.

After drinking the safflower soup, Concubine Hua looked at Concubine Duan, who was breathing in more than out, and her face was full of satisfaction.

Before leaving, Concubine Hua said to Concubine Duan: "Geng Yuebin, wait for me next month."

What Hua Fei didn't know was that this would be the last time they would see each other.

Songzhi looked at Concubine Duan deeply. This was what she really looked like, dying.

This was a relief for Concubine Duan, who was always causing trouble.

Three days later, Concubine Duan died of a long illness.

The Queen informed the Emperor of Concubine Duan's death, and also flattered Concubine Hua in front of the Emperor.

The emperor knew that Concubine Hua tortured Concubine Duan almost every month. This time she didn't die on the spot at the hands of Concubine Hua. How should the emperor deal with her?

Besides, Concubine Duan has been ill for many years, so she might as well die.

The emperor issued an edict to posthumously confer the title of noble concubine on Concubine Duan, and Geng Yuebin was buried with the ceremony of a noble concubine.

When the Queen saw that the Emperor didn't care, she went to see the Queen Mother, who also advised the Queen not to dwell on the matter any further.

Concubine Hua has not been as domineering as before recently. The power of the Nian family has been reduced by half now, and Empress Yixiu's position is secure. Let the Empress stop causing trouble.

The Queen now has two soldiers under her command. Shen Meizhuang is in great favor, and An Lingrong is also in favor.

The Queen has great power in the harem and only wants to get rid of the troublesome Concubine Hua so that she can be the only one in power. She doesn't listen to the Queen Mother at all.

The Queen only agreed superficially, but in her heart she was thinking about how to get rid of Concubine Hua.

When Concubine Hua heard the news that Concubine Duan had died, she did not feel the joy of having her revenge.

Hua Fei burst into tears and murmured, "Why can you die happily while I have to suffer this heart-wrenching pain every day?"

The day she lost her child became Hua Fei's nightmare every night.

Only when the emperor comes can Concubine Hua sleep peacefully.

But the emperor does not belong to Hua Fei alone. Hua Fei is looking forward to the emperor's coming, but the emperor is enjoying himself somewhere else.
