Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

"The Queen has arrived!"

As soon as they arrived at Fengzao Palace, the young eunuch on duty at the door pinched his throat and shouted, bringing a little movement to the palace which had suddenly become deserted.

Yuanchun heard the noise and quickly stood up.

Being in the palace, her brother once gave her enough confidence, but now she can no longer control herself.

Jia Hong has been missing for more than half a year, and she has not received any news from the Jia Mansion, the Hou Mansion, or the Lin Mansion. Even if she sent someone to ask, there was no news. As time went on, she naturally became uneasy.

Now she encountered such a thing again. Being in the middle of a situation, she could sense that someone wanted to murder her, but she had no idea who the opponent was and where the rumors came from. Being in the deep palace, she did not overstep the line in her every move, and with Fan Zhixuan secretly taking care of her, she had almost no enemies.

The empress had no children, and neither did she. Everyone knew the situation in the harem. The emperor rarely favored the harem, and the chance of giving birth to a prince again was almost zero.

What's the point of dealing with her, a concubine, when there are no interests involved?
"My lady, go slower. You have to stand steady, or you'll get dizzy."

Baoqin was startled when she saw Yuanchun's movement. Yuanchun had been suffering from severe mental damage during this period. Although there was no problem with her body, she often had trouble sleeping at night. Wouldn't it be dizzy at this time?
Yuanchun's feet paused and her eyes went dark. Fortunately, she had Baoqin by her side, and her hands were tightly grasping the table beside her, so she did not faint immediately.

After a while, she gradually got better. As soon as she looked up, she saw Queen Fan Zhixuan coming into the lobby.

"Sister, are you okay?"

Seeing that Yuanchun's face looked a little strange, Fan Zhixuan couldn't help but ask.

"It's still my younger sister who showed courtesy, I hope you won't blame me!"

Yuanchun recovered her breath and bowed thousands of times.

Fan Zhixuan waved her hand. Maybe she cared about these details for other people, but for Yuanchun, she didn't care.

"Okay, since you're not feeling well, there's no need for these empty formalities."

Yuanchun pulled the corner of her mouth and forced out an apologetic smile.

"Thank you sister."

"By the way, I came here just to see how you have been these days and to talk to you."

After Fan Zhixuan sat down, she went straight to the point without beating around the bush. Yuanchun thought for a moment and then said, "Baoqin, go make a pot of tea."

Baoqin helped Yuanchun sit down and nodded slightly.

Having been with Yuanchun for many years, she was able to understand what Yuanchun meant in different situations. In the current situation, she was saying that she had something to talk to the Queen in private and asked her to go out and watch the door first.

"Hey~"

Baoqin turned around and left, then closed the door behind her. When only Fan Zhixuan and Jia Yuanchun were left in the inner room, Fan Zhixuan continued, "I know that the story in the palace is false."

When Yuanchun heard this, there was a hint of gratitude in her eyes. She felt trusted, a feeling she had not experienced for a long time since she left the Jia Mansion and came to the palace.

"Thank you for your trust, sister." Fan Zhixuan shook her head. Jia Yuanchun had been with her for many years, and she knew her personality very well.

Before Jia Hong returned to Beijing, she had always been cautious and dared not make any wrong steps. Later, thanks to Jia Hong, she gradually became more confident.

What happened to Jia Hong at the beginning was not what Yuanchun wanted. Yuanchun would not even covet such an outstanding marquis, let alone a guard.

She is a woman. There are some things that she doesn't bother to talk about, but that doesn't mean she doesn't understand.

"The palace is already investigating the source of the rumors. You just need to keep calm these few days. Those who are innocent will be innocent, and those who are not innocent will be not innocent. Not to mention a noble concubine like you, even an ordinary concubine would probably not look down on you."

The main reason Fan Zhixuan came here today was to comfort Yuanchun, so she didn't talk about anything else and went straight to the point.

Yuanchun nodded, but hesitated to speak.

This scene happened to be seen by Fan Zhixuan, so Fan Zhixuan asked again: "Why, sister, do you have any ideas?"

Upon hearing this, Yuanchun unconsciously squeezed the handkerchief in her hands and did not answer immediately. It was obvious that she had something to say in her heart, but for some reason she hesitated.

Inside the room, there was a round table, which was very clean. On it stood a hollow incense burner with a century-old phoenix pattern. Wisps of green smoke went straight up to the dome, emitting a soothing scent.

Fan Zhixuan was not in a hurry. She slowly closed her eyes and her mind wandered away.

After a while, Yuanchun finally said, "Sister, I don't think those people want to deal with me."

Fan Zhixuan sighed in her heart. Those people would naturally not target Yuanchun, a concubine who had no children. What they wanted to deal with were the forces behind Yuanchun, including the Guanjun Marquis' Mansion, the Rongguo Duke's Mansion, the Ningguo Duke's Mansion and other forces.

Perhaps it was because the previous chaos was too big that made the princes in the palace fearful. The Marquis of Guanjun's Mansion is now unprecedentedly weak, but the other party was still able to send the prince into the residence of the fifth prince Chu Xuan without anyone noticing.

They didn't believe this matter from the beginning. There was an irreconcilable hatred and contradiction between Jia Hong and Prince Dongping. With the temperament of the Marquis of Guanjun, even if they wanted to fight, they would definitely use an attitude of crushing. The Marquis of Guanjun was not so low as to cooperate with a vassal king.

Therefore, this matter had always been a scene directed and acted by Chu Xuan himself. Both the Second Prince and the Third Prince were aware of this point, but the problem was that the King of Dongping finally appeared in the residence of the Fifth Prince Chu Xuan, which could not help but make them feel terrified.

The mansion where the prince lives has three floors inside and outside, but there is also a guard post every ten steps and a sentry every fifteen steps. Under such circumstances, people can still be sent in. This explains a lot of things. If the other party had arranged an assassination, the Fifth Prince would have been dead or seriously injured by now.

They didn't know what the Marquis' Mansion meant by doing this. They were saying that even if Jia Hong didn't come back, they were still not people the other party could afford to mess with. If they really fell out, it would be hard to say who would die.

Perhaps based on this point, several princes became restless and felt that their dignity was challenged, so they took action against Jia Yuanchun, intending to get some comfort from her.

Of course, this was just Fan Zhixuan's guess, but a woman's sixth sense is always very accurate, and Fan Zhixuan was not wrong on this point.

The one who took action was not Emperor Ming Kang or Emperor Tai Kang, but one of the princes.

"Don't let your imagination run wild. The Marquis's Mansion is still there, the Jia Mansion is still there, the sky hasn't fallen yet!!"
