"You're here again... Whenever something goes wrong, you always break into my palace and start beating and scolding me. How many times have you done this over the years?"

Concubine Duan was dragged off the bed and fell limply beside it. She looked at Concubine Hua and smiled faintly, "I am being tortured by you, and you are bound by what happened back then. We are so pathetic!"

"Snapped!"

Concubine Hua took a quick step forward, raised her hand and slapped Concubine Duan in the face, "Bitch! If it weren't for you, how could I not have a child?"

As she spoke, Hua Fei became more and more furious. She then saw that Duan Fei's head was tilted to the side by her blow, but she was still looking at her with a smile. She felt that the faint smile was indescribably ironic, so she became furious again and slapped her left and right, more than a dozen times in a row, before she stopped because her palms were numb.

"Cough cough cough..."

Concubine Duan was already ill, and now she was beaten up by Concubine Hua. The slaps kept falling like raindrops, leaving her physically and mentally exhausted and unable to resist.

Concubine Duan, who had no intention of hiding, silently endured the violence from Concubine Hua. Even though she felt her cheeks were in so much pain that she lost consciousness, and even a fishy-sweet taste filled her mouth, she did not say another word to her.

After so many years, Concubine Hua has always been brooding over what happened back then, and stubbornly believes that it was because she misjudged people and mistakenly trusted Concubine Duan, which led to her murder of her child.

Therefore, in order to alleviate the regret and guilt in her heart, Concubine Hua put all the blame on Concubine Duan.

Although Concubine Duan understood the "truth" behind it, she also knew that she had no power to choose.

This matter was arranged by the Queen Mother and the Queen. She was just an "executor" and never had the right to say "no".

No matter if she noticed it beforehand or discovered it afterwards, even if she could do it over again, the only thing Concubine Duan could do was to give the bowl of pregnancy-preserving medicine mixed with "broken bones" to Nian Shilan.

Not long after that, Concubine Hua felt unbearable abdominal pain, which led to her miscarriage.

Although on the surface, there is no direct evidence to show that Concubine Hua's miscarriage was caused by the bowl of "abortion-preserving medicine" sent by Concubine Duan.

But for the parties involved and those who are interested, the answer is clear.

Since then, the friendship between Concubine Hua and Concubine Duan was completely broken, and they became irreconcilable enemies.

From the palace to the harem, from the prince's wife to the emperor's concubines, the fight between them never stopped.

Although it was usually Concubine Hua who committed the violence unilaterally, Concubine Duan did not explain.

Because Concubine Duan knew very well that no matter what she said, as long as it came from her mouth, Concubine Hua would never believe it.

Moreover, Concubine Duan didn't want to die.

That bowl of pregnancy-preserving medicine involved a joint plot between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. If others knew the "truth", they would all die.

Although it seemed that she had lost the desire to live, Concubine Duan had actually been enduring silently.

Just as Nian Shilan hated her, didn't Concubine Duan also hate Nian Shilan?

To some extent, Concubine Duan felt that she was very similar to Concubine Hua.

They are all equally pathetic!

Concubine Duan was not a fool, so not long after Concubine Hua got into trouble, she realized that she was being used.

And the person who takes advantage of you is the one you spend every day with!

When she deduced this, Concubine Duan instantly broke out in a cold sweat, accompanied by an intense feeling of pain and suffocation.

But like Nian Shilan, she did not dare - and was unwilling to - impose her hatred on Yongzheng.

For the same reason, both sides hate each other and torture each other, which has continued to this day.

Concubine Duan sometimes wondered whether the relationship between her and Concubine Hua was because they didn't want to shatter their beautiful fantasies and aspirations about the emperor.

"Oh, do you think I will torture you to death? No, I won't let you go so easily!"

Just as Concubine Duan was immersed in her own world, Concubine Hua's voice came from the side, but it was extremely cold.

"Whether it's life or death, this itself... is no longer something I can control."

Concubine Duan's tone suddenly became very cold, as if there was not a trace of emotion at all.

She raised her head with great effort, looking at the high and mighty Concubine Hua. Even though her cheeks were swollen and it was very difficult for her to speak, she still spoke word by word, "You can't kill me."

It’s not that Concubine Hua doesn’t want to kill him, but as long as he doesn’t leak the secret, Yongzheng will not let Concubine Hua put him to death!

Concubine Duan was very clear about this, and she also knew that Yongzheng felt guilty about what happened that year.

It’s a pity that between Nian Shilan and himself, the emperor finally chose to give Nian Shilan the highest favor.

As for myself, although I feel guilty, I just come here occasionally to take a look and try to win them over again to alleviate the guilt in my heart!

Concubine Duan was deeply infatuated with Yongzheng, and her love for him was no less than that for Concubine Hua.

If she didn't still love the other person deeply, Concubine Duan would have no desire to live at all.

"Haha, don't think that the emperor's keeping you alive is your 'golden ticket to immunity from death'. Even if the emperor still cares about our past friendship, he is just being deceived by you!"

Concubine Hua beat Concubine Duan, which was considered to be a way to vent most of the anger that she had suppressed before.

At this time, her rationality returned and Concubine Hua knew that she could not do anything to Concubine Duan. She hated it very much in her heart, but there was nothing she could do.

"Haha, you are actually very smart, how could you not understand? If it was really me who killed your child, the emperor would not have kept me until now."

Concubine Duan smiled and coughed up a mouthful of blood foam, and then said meaningfully: "What is the truth, I dare not say, and you dare not think about it, so we can only entangle and rub each other, isn't it?"

"Don't be complacent! There is still a long way to go. As long as you live in this palace, I have plenty of ways to make your life worse than death!"

Hua Fei's pupils shrank at what Concubine Duan said, and she felt a chill down her spine, but she looked as if nothing had happened.

After saying those harsh words, she didn't want to stay here any longer, so she left a message to warn all the servants in Yanqing Palace not to ask for the imperial physician for Concubine Duan. If anyone disobeyed, they would be sent to the Shenxing Division, where they would be unable to live or die!

Everyone has witnessed that Concubine Hua has accumulated power in the palace for many years.

Even though Concubine Hua had made a serious mistake not long ago, isn't she now safe and sound?

In comparison, Concubine Duan is...

"My lady, shall I go and get you some medicine?"

Jixiang helped Concubine Duan up from the ground. Looking at his own queen's miserable appearance, he felt extremely distressed.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Concubine Duan shook her head, indicating to Jixiang that there was no need to bother with those things for her.

After a while, Concubine Duan suddenly asked, "Jixiang, has anything happened in the palace recently?"

"recent?"

Jixiang thought for a moment, but shook his head, "No... If you want to talk about the matter, Concubine Hua was previously confined by the Emperor, but within two days, the Queen Mother issued an order to release her from confinement."

At this point, Jixiang showed a hint of confusion on his face.

Concubine Duan knew about the intrigues within the royal family and was not surprised by this.

However, every time Concubine Hua came to her side to make trouble, she must have been stimulated by something and was reminded of the past, otherwise she would not have come here.

After a moment of silence, Concubine Duan said, "Go check it out, don't alert others, and if you have any news, let me know immediately."

Her intuition told Concubine Duan that Concubine Hua's abnormal behavior was very problematic.

If she could figure out what made Concubine Hua so emotionally unstable, perhaps the "opportunity" she had been waiting for would soon come.

However, before that, Concubine Duan must collect enough clues to determine whether she can start the plan.

"Yes, I understand. I will do it carefully."

Jixiang nodded obediently, and then helped Concubine Duan to lie down again. He took advantage of the night to slip out of Yanqing Palace and walked towards the palace of his familiar little sisters.
