Rebirth of Her Royal Highness the Princess

Chapter 280: Mother Died Young

Concubine Lan asked tremblingly, "What should we do?" The black shadow came close to Concubine Lan's ear and said in a low voice, "Just pretend that you know nothing, and then go to the emperor to report Concubine An, saying that she deliberately sowed discord and tried to destroy the harmony of the harem. I will assist you secretly." Concubine Lan nodded, but her heart was full of contradictions and fear.

Concubine Lan took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then walked towards the emperor's bedroom. After knocking on the door, she got the emperor's permission to enter the room.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you," Concubine Lan said with a salute.

"Get up. It's so late. What do you want to report?" asked the emperor.

Concubine Lan pretended to be sad and said, "Your Majesty, I want to report something to you. Concubine An has evil intentions and is trying to sow discord between me and other sisters and disturb the peace of the harem."

The emperor frowned slightly, "What do you mean?"

Concubine Lan spoke out the remarks she had prepared in advance one by one, and the emperor's expression gradually became serious.

"I will send someone to investigate this matter. If it is true, I will not let him off easily," said the emperor.

Concubine Lan was secretly happy, she knew that Black Shadow would definitely take care of everything. After bidding farewell to the emperor, Concubine Lan returned to her own bedroom, waiting for Black Shadow's next instructions.

A few days later, the emperor issued an edict to demote Concubine An to Noble Lady An and confine her in the cold palace. When Concubine Lan heard the news, she felt relieved, but also a little guilty. However, she knew very well the cruelty and helplessness of the power struggle in the palace.

Soon, the shadow came to Concubine Lan again. Concubine Lan asked anxiously: "Now that Concubine An has been dealt with, what should we do next?" A hint of viciousness flashed in the shadow's eyes: "We must cut the grass and root it out, and never let her have a chance to turn over." Concubine Lan's heart tightened: "What are you going to do?" The shadow sneered: "Don't worry, everything is under my control."

A few days later, news spread from the cold palace that Concubine An had died suddenly. Everyone speculated that she had offended a powerful noble, but no one knew the truth...

When Concubine Lan heard the news, she felt mixed emotions. She didn't want to go to such lengths, but she was in the palace and had no choice. The shadow seemed to see through her thoughts and comforted her: "Those who achieve great things don't care about trivial matters. Besides, keeping her is always a hidden danger." Concubine Lan nodded slightly. At this point, there was no point in saying more.

However, Concubine Lan had never expected that this incident would trigger a series of changes. When the emperor heard the news of Concubine An's death, he was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. Rumors spread in the palace, and all kinds of suspicion and conspiracy shrouded the entire palace.

At the same time, another mysterious force is also stirring in secret. Lan Fei gradually finds that she seems to be caught in a well-woven net, and she cannot see the true face of the enemy...

"What? Concubine An actually died in the cold palace? How is this possible!" Concubine Xiao widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

The maid beside her lowered her head and replied softly, "Your Majesty, it is indeed so."

"How could this happen? How could this happen!" Concubine Xiao clutched the corner of her clothes tightly with both hands, becoming more and more agitated. "I saw her a few days ago. Although she was haggard at that time, she was not to the point of..." At this point, Concubine Xiao seemed to remember something and her voice stopped abruptly.

After a moment's silence, Concubine Xiao murmured to herself, "Could it be that... someone has secretly murdered me? Want to silence me? But who has the courage and ability to do that?" Her brows were furrowed, and her eyes revealed deep worry and confusion.

"Alas, the eldest prince was only a few months old, but he lost his biological mother like this. It's really pitiful!" A palace maid said with a look of compassion and a sigh.

Xiao Concubine, who was standing by, couldn't help but frown when she heard this, and a trace of pity flashed in her eyes. She shook her head gently and said slowly: "Although I can't say that she and I are close friends, we have been sisters for a period of time. Now she has left suddenly, leaving this young child alone and helpless, which is really heartbreaking.

Well, you come with me to meet the emperor, tell him about this, and ask me to foster the eldest prince under my name. This way, it can be regarded as giving the child a support, so that he can feel a little warmth and love on his way to growth. "As she said this, Concubine Xiao walked towards the palace where the emperor was, followed closely by the palace maid.

Along the way, the two were silent, each thinking about how to plead for mercy when they met the emperor later.

Xiaopin and the maid came to the emperor's palace and explained their purpose. After listening, the emperor was silent for a long time, and finally agreed to Xiaopin's request.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine Xiao knelt down and kowtowed.

After that, the eldest prince was fostered in the name of Concubine Xiao, who treated him as her own son and took good care of him, and the eldest prince grew up healthily under her care.

Concubine Xiao, born into a prominent family, had made many distinguished achievements over generations. Since entering the palace, she had won the emperor's heart with her gentleness, virtue, intelligence and quick-wittedness.

Xiao was not only beautiful, but also talented. She was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and was also good at writing poetry and songs, which was considered unique in the palace.

In assisting in the management of the harem affairs, Xiao was even more dedicated and could handle everything in an orderly manner. She upheld noble morals, was courteous to everyone, and never criticized the palace maids and eunuchs, thus winning unanimous praise and respect from the palace.

At that time, the eldest son's mother died young, and the emperor pitied him for being orphaned at such a young age, so he gave the eldest son to Xiao to raise. Xiao treated him as her own son, taking good care of him and showing him great concern. She not only took care of him in his daily life, but also focused on teaching the prince how to behave in society and the art of governing a country.

Because of her outstanding virtue and achievements, the emperor was very pleased and promoted her to the first-class concubine and bestowed the title "Rong". This title implies that Xiao will be honored and respected throughout her life, and enjoy endless wealth and glory. After receiving this honor, Xiao became more cautious in her words and deeds, and worked hard and thrifty to live up to the emperor's grace and everyone's expectations.

"The harem is in such a mess! Is the emperor really just going to ignore it and not care about it?" Hua Xiulan frowned and said with a worried look on her face. Her beautiful eyes revealed deep doubts and dissatisfaction.

Jun Moli, who was standing at the side, shook his head gently and said slowly: "Lan'er, the emperor is the child you have watched grow up, don't you know him? How could he ignore the concubines in the harem?"

Hua Xiulan bit her lips lightly, still seeming to find it hard to let go: "But since the emperor is not sitting back and watching, then why was Concubine Xiao able to be promoted all the way to become Rong Fei, while there are still only a few noble ladies in the harem? What's so strange about this?"

At this point, Hua Xiulan's eyes flashed with doubt, and then she said, "I think that Concubine Lan, who is favored by the emperor, may have a big problem!"

Jun Moli nodded slightly, expressing his agreement: "Lan'er is right. This girl is from a foreign tribe, so we have to be on guard. We need to be extra careful."

After a brief thought, Hua Xiulan decisively suggested: "Why don't we send some capable confidants to sneak into the palace and investigate secretly to prevent those foreigners from doing anything that would harm the country."

Jun Moli pondered for a moment, and finally responded: "Well, this is feasible. Then let's do as you say." After that, the two looked at each other and nodded in understanding.
