Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

An'er and Ru'er came out of the inner hall, closed the door, and gave Wang Xifeng some space to be alone.

He had only taken three steps when he heard the continuous sound of broken porcelain in the hall.

An'er counted quietly: "...four, five, six, seven!"

Ruer's face changed: "The tea set has been smashed, this is..."

"...Ten, eleven, twelve!" An'er's face also began to turn pale.

"My queen, I am really heartbroken..." Ru'er looked complicated. She lowered her head and thought for a while, then discussed with An'er.

"Sister, should we invite the princess to come and mingle, or should we quietly send a letter outside to tell the lady?"

An'er said without hesitation: "Speak! I'll find someone to deliver a letter to the Madam, and you go and invite the princess."

Ruer nodded: "Okay! I'll listen to you, sister."

The two went their separate ways.

Although He Ke and Lin Daiyu were detained in a side hall to study with County Master Zhai, they also listened to the reports from the palace maids during their breaks.

Upon learning that Wu Jin's life or death was unknown and Xiao Yuan was pushed into the water and drowned, Lin Daiyu was so scared that she trembled all over, while He Ke was so angry that he scratched his head and wanted to get out!

Zhai Zhao hurriedly held Daiyu in his arms to comfort her, and then shouted at He Ke: "How many people and things have come together to cause such a situation?

"You think the Imperial Concubine isn't annoying enough, right?

"Why don't you just sit still?

"If you dare to step out of the side hall, you will be punished by copying the Female Commandments ten times!"

He Ke pouted, and seeing that he had frightened Lin Daiyu, he felt regretful. Only then did he calm down and accompany Zhai Zhao to comfort his good friend.

He then hurriedly asked her to read and write with him to divert her attention.

Now that Ru'er had reported this, he hesitated for a moment and went to see Zhai Zhao first: "Teacher, can I go?"

Zhai Zhao looked at Nanny Ji again.

Nanny Ji nodded slightly.

Zhai Zhao then softened his tone and said, "Your mother is in a bad mood, and you can comfort her as a filial duty.

"Sister Lin, please stay with me to review your studies. Please ask Aunt Ji to accompany you."

He Ke hurriedly took Nanny Ji to Wang Xifeng's bedroom.

When she reached the door, she saw Chuncao and Chunnuan looking at her anxiously. She blinked and signaled them to leave for the time being. He Ke stepped forward and knocked on the door gently:

"Mother, it's me. Are you okay? Can I go in and see if you're okay?"

Wang Xifeng said in her usual voice, "Okay, come in. Be careful, the floor is messy, don't get your feet pricked."

He Ke was slightly stunned when he heard her voice which did not sound unusual at all.

Nanny Ji took the opportunity to whisper in her ear: "The imperial concubine is too sad and angry, so she refuses to show it!"

He Ke felt more and more distressed as he listened, and hurriedly pushed the door open.

Ruer silently brought Chunnuanchuncao in and carefully cleaned up all the broken porcelain on the floor - except for a set of Jun kiln tea sets on the table, the set of six Fuwa with different expressions that were originally placed on the windowsill were also gone.

Those six Fuwa were brought to the East Palace by Mei Ruoqin after the first year when Wang Xifeng was confined to the palace. Mei Ruoqin then asked the Mei family to bring them to Wang Xifeng as a New Year's gift.

Ruer looked at the fragments on the ground and felt sad.

The support we had shown each other over the years was gradually wiped out because of a pregnancy, and it could even turn into a stab in the back without any fuss...

My queen is the most grateful person.

Even the Emperor, who holds the power over life and death in the world at a moment's notice, would do his best to give him a peaceful harem as long as he respects and trusts Her Majesty.

If Mei Ruoqin is willing to treat the Empress as before, let alone this pregnancy, even if she gives birth to ten or eight children in the future, not only will the Empress not stop her from enjoying the favor, I'm afraid she will even go to great lengths to protect them, mother and child, and mother and daughter, to ensure they are safe and sound...

Now, haha, that’s okay too.

After witnessing the appearance of her own queen, Ruer, who was so heartbroken that she didn't know what to do, also turned cold.

After packing up her things and leaving the palace, she found an excuse to get Nanny Ji away. Ruer looked at Chunnuan and asked her softly, "Is there anyone you recognize in Qinghui Pavilion?"

Chunnuan's fingers trembled, and she looked up at Ru'er: "Sister, why do you think I know someone there?"

Ruer's gaze shifted from her to Chuncao, and then to Chun and Chunsheng who were standing guard outside the hall in the distance, and she sighed softly:

"Sister An'er is an honest person. I am a very suspicious person and I have led the wrong person before, so I am particularly suspicious of people and things.

"So, you guys, do you recognize anyone in Qinghui Pavilion?"

Although Chun Nuan was surprised that she had seen through the identities of herself and others before An Er, she was the elder sister who had served the Empress since she was young, so she no longer hid it from her and whispered:

"No.

"We entered the palace late, only three or four years ago, and we cannot have our own people in every palace."

Ruer's face darkened: "Then besides Shang Shi Cai, do you have other more secretive people in Liushang?"

"Yes!" Chunnuan nodded.

Ru'er's face brightened slightly: "Well, contact the people and get ready. When I have time to report to the queen, we have to do a few things."

Chuncao, who had been listening silently, suddenly showed excitement on her face.

Chun Nuan smiled and nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

"Chuncao, our princess is actually short of people around her. Her study partner, Sister Lin, doesn't have any capable maids either.

"Do you have any ideas?" Ruer looked at the little girl who was eager to make trouble.

Chuncao was stunned: "Ah?"

"What? Miss Lin will definitely leave the palace in the future. With your personality, you are too lively. It's hard to say whether you will be a help or a nuisance in the palace."

Once Chunnuan regarded Ru'er as her own and her boss who knew the truth, she no longer hesitated to speak. In front of Ru'er, she poked Chuncao's forehead with her index finger.

"So this path that Sister Ruer picked for you shouldn't be too suitable for you!"

Chuncao's thought flashed through her mind for a moment before she understood. She said with a grin, "If Miss Lin likes me, I would certainly be willing to follow her out of the palace to play."

Ruer curled her lips and said, "Good girl."

Then he pointed to the side hall and said, "Then go and serve Aunt Ji first, and show your face over there more."

Chuncao agreed, knelt down and bowed earnestly: "Thank you, sister, for the promotion."

Then he turned and left.

"Sister An'er sent a letter to Madam to tell her about this matter. But she was too protective of Madam and Wu Jin, so I'm afraid her words might be exaggerated.

"I will now tell you everything about Qinghui Pavilion from beginning to end. You should find a way to get it to the master as soon as possible. Please take action and teach the Mei family a lesson!"

There was an unusual murderous look on Ruer's face.

Chun Nuan was surprised: "Aren't you going to tell the queen?"

"What I told the queen was how to deal with Concubine Rong, and what I told the master was how to punish the Mei family. These are two different things and do not conflict with each other."

Ruer looked calm.

Chunnuan was truly impressed this time. She crossed her hands and agreed, holding her breath and listening.

On the other hand, An'er's long letter, written angrily to Yuan, was presented to the emperor in a blink of an eye.

Emperor Chongzhao looked at An'er's ferocious narration and laughed, "She is a maid who protects her master."

Then he handed it to Qinghai and said, "Send it there."

Qinghai bowed and agreed.

I sighed in my heart: Mei has made a wrong decision this time...
