An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

"Why not just confess the truth?"

Concubine Hua sat upright on the couch, staring coldly at Cao Qinmo who was kneeling in front of her.

Her fingers tapped lightly on the armrest, making a series of rhythmic sounds, urging Cao Qinmo to answer her questions quickly.

"Tell me, that little bitch Zhen Huan, why did she come to see you?"

Seeing that Cao Qinmo kept avoiding the subject, Hua Fei revealed a hint of impatience in her voice.

Cao Qinmo lowered her head, not daring to look Hua Fei in the eye, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, Concubine Wan... chatted with me for a few words first, and then..."

She hadn't finished her words, but this was enough to make Concubine Hua react.

"Small talk?"

Hua Fei sneered and said bitterly, "This little bitch always uses some tricks. Isn't that how she used to confuse the emperor? Why would she come to you to chat for no reason? I'm afraid there is something wrong!"

At the end, Concubine Hua's tone became extremely cold again.

Hearing this, cold sweat broke out on Cao Qinmo's forehead.

Having followed Concubine Hua for so many years, she certainly knew her temper.

If I can't give her a satisfactory answer, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave here today.

However, Cao Qinmo already had his own plans in mind.

She had long been dissatisfied with being Hua Fei's "brain"!

What Cao Qinmo wants is a higher status. Only in this way can she secure a better future for her daughter.

As long as Cao Qinmo stays with Concubine Hua for one more day, there will be no chance for her to make a breakthrough.

Besides, Cao Qinmo was self-aware and knew that her appearance alone was not enough to convince the emperor to promote her.

In the past, she had no choice but to depend on Concubine Hua. Moreover, Concubine Hua was at the peak of her power at that time. Looking at the entire harem, no one could be her rival.

The situation is very different now. Even if Cao Qinmo is afraid of Zhen Huan in her heart, she has to admit that Zhen Huan is probably the apple of the emperor's eye at the moment.

Therefore, even though she had promised Concubine Hua that she would join forces with her to deal with Zhen Huan, Cao Qinmo had some other thoughts in her mind after being "flattered" by Zhen Huan.

Although thoughts kept flashing through her mind, on the surface, Cao Qinmo seemed to be simply intimidated by the aura emanating from Concubine Hua, and thus she fell into a brief silence.

After a while, she took a deep breath and said slowly to Concubine Hua: "Your Majesty is wise! Just as you speculated before, Concubine Wan has long been dissatisfied with you, Your Majesty. She wants to win over me and deal with you together! She came to find me for these things..."

Cao Qinmo knew that since she agreed to help Concubine Hua deal with Zhen Huan, Concubine Hua would definitely send someone to keep an eye on her just in case.

Therefore, when Concubine Hua pointed out the fact that she had contact with Zhen Huan, she was a little surprised at first, but after some thought, she figured it out.

Having said that, this does not mean that Concubine Hua really knows everything!

Cao Qinmo didn't want Concubine Hua to know that Zhen Huan adopted Wen Yi as her "adopted daughter" so as not to disrupt her future plans.

Therefore, when facing Hua Fei's questions, after a brief pause, she chose to focus on Zhen Huan's hatred for Hua Fei in order to divert her attention.

Although what she said was indeed not surprising, after hearing it, Concubine Hua's face became even gloomier.

"She is just a vixen from a small family. Is she worthy enough to be my enemy?"

While Hua Fei was talking to herself, she completely ignored Cao Qinmo, who was right next to her and was also born in a humble family.

Even though she knew that the other party was not targeting her, Cao Qinmo knew even more clearly that in Concubine Hua's heart, she was not even as good as Zhen Huan.

Even though Concubine Hua looked down upon Zhen Huan's family background, she was still favored by Emperor Yongzheng.

Compared to that, what does she have now?

Oh, there is indeed another princess.

However, Cao Qinmo felt that her own daughter was still far less important than Zhen Huan in the emperor's heart at the moment.

Because of this, after hearing these words, Cao Qinmo couldn't help feeling sad.

Concubine Hua turned a deaf ear to all this. Cao Qinmo said nothing and stood there like a log. She was not affected at all. She gritted her teeth and said, "Great! Great Concubine Wan! Great Zhen Huan. I really didn't guard against her."

Cao Qinmo's heart tightened as she listened to Concubine Hua's mumbling.

Concubine Hua has always been dissatisfied with Zhen Huan, and now her plan of "soothing the rift" seems to be successful. However, in the future, she and Zhen Huan will inevitably become very close.

But if I get too close to her, Concubine Hua might be unhappy. It's really hard to decide!

But she accepted all the gifts because she couldn't offend Zhen Huan. After all, Zhen Huan was in the emperor's favor now, and being on good terms with her would be good for herself and Wen Yi.

Thinking of this, Cao Qinmo said cautiously: "Your Majesty, what you said before is very true. I also think so. So when Concubine Wan came to visit, I pretended to flatter her, and she really felt very happy! However, in my opinion, Concubine Wan seems to like Wen Yi very much... In order to prevent her from getting suspicious, I always have to deal with her every time I come!"

"is it?"

Concubine Hua sneered and said indifferently: "Humph, Zhou Xuan? She is a bitch, just a foxy woman who can use some coquettish tricks. She has become arrogant because of the emperor's favor. You have also been "friends" with her before. How did you feel at that time?"

Concubine Hua was well-known for her pettiness.

Cao Qinmo has followed her for so long, how could she not know?

At this moment, Cao Qinmo could hear the strong displeasure and sourness in Concubine Hua's tone.

She did not dare to refute Hua Fei's words, and then said to Hua Fei: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I know I was wrong! I was confused for a moment and thought that Lady Wan was someone I could make friends with, so... Fortunately, it did not lead to a big mistake! Please, Your Majesty--"

"Shut up!"

Before Cao Qinmo could finish her explanation, Concubine Hua interrupted her forcefully, "Alright, I don't want to hear your explanation. Just remember one thing, you are my person, and everything you do must be based on my interests. If you get close to Zhen Huan again, I will not let you off easily. If you want to die, I don't care, but you have to think about your princess!"

When Concubine Hua said this, Cao Qinmo secretly groaned inwardly.

But seeing the expression on Concubine Hua's face, she did not dare to disobey Concubine Hua's order, and could only reply submissively: "Yes, I will follow your instructions, please rest assured!"

"Haha, it's really hard for me to feel at ease with you."

Hua Fei sneered, "However, you must make good use of the girl whose pigtail you caught, so as not to let down the drama I played with you!"
