The Fox Comes from Outer World

To my surprise, the Chan Consort did not confront me as she had the first time we met. Instead, she calmly invited me to the pavilion by the lake to drink some tea. I didn't know what she was up to, so I just kept my mouth shut. Thus, on a sunny afternoon, Chan Fei and I sat in a pavilion by the lake.

The cool autumn wind breezed over, and through the transparent gauze surrounding the lake, one could see the lush green hibiscus blooming. It was a light purple and deep green, incomparably beautiful. The Chan Consort had today combed a beautiful cloud bun. Behind the bun was a fresh pink hibiscus, and her temples were gilded with verdant steps, causing her snow-white skin to look even more beautiful.

If only her heart were as pure as her appearance.

I sighed in my heart.

I asked her, "Imperial Concubine Chan invited me here. What can I do for you?"

Chan Fei pursed her lips into a smile, waved her hand, and dismissed the crowd. When only she and I were left in the pavilion, she looked up with a smile and said, "There's nothing special. I just want to invite Miss Bai Lan for a cup of tea."

Just tea? I was a little surprised.

I thought that she would at least do something to avenge her humiliation that day, or take the opportunity to make fun of me. After all, I have been ignored by Yan Hua for a long time, and many people in the palace are watching me as a joke.

He never would have thought that Chan truly began to make tea by herself. She was using a special set of tea sets, which I found somewhat familiar. After thinking about it carefully, I realized that I had seen it before in the Southern and Northern Kingdoms. Chan Fei used water to wash her hands, carefully wiped them on the towel, and then personally made the tea. Her tea skills are very exquisite, standard, flowing, as if performing exquisite art, I was a little stunned.

I was extremely shocked, because the way she made tea was exactly the same as the ones I had seen in the Imperial Palace of Nan Yu. It was a popular tea ceremony in the court of Suzhou. I once saw the palace man do it for Yueze. Yueze loved tea and had taught me personally, but because of my stupidity, I didn't learn it all.

At this moment, the Chan Consort is performing the court tea ceremony of Nan Yu State in front of me. Why is that? Could it be that she wants to show good will to me, a person from Nan Yu Country?

I looked doubtfully at Chan Fei, who had finished her performance. She poured a cup of tea and offered it to me with both hands.

I took it hesitantly, and she poured herself another glass and held it up to me.

She had a charming smile, and her beauty was breathtaking. I was stunned for a moment before I drank my tea. When the tea flowed down my throat, it had an incomparable fragrance. It was indeed the authentic Nanyu tea. After confirming this point, I became even more doubtful.

"If there's something you want to say, then go ahead and say it, Fei Chan." I tried to keep my expression flat and unfathomable.

Chan Fei Fei gave a faint smile and put down her cup: "Alright. I like people like you. "

She looked around her and saw that the palace maids were all consciously standing very far away from the pavilion. She then whispered to me, "When His Majesty was poisoned in the Golden Lotus Palace last time, did Big Sister White know who did it?"

So you're asking me about this. I'm sorry, I don't know.

I shook my head and Chan Fei gave a mysterious smile. She dipped her finger in some tea and wrote a single word on the stone table. "Yi."

Meter? Could it be that she was hinting that this was done by an Imperial Consort? I looked up at her, startled at her so blatantly. Chan Fei Fei's eyes revealed a trace of helplessness: "That's right. She did it. "

I was greatly shocked, because I always thought that Chan Fei was Yi Imperial Concubine's confidante. Although Yi Imperial Concubine always used Chan Fei as a cannon fodder, Chan Fei still appeared to be very loyal. I never would have thought that Chan's consort would come to surrender to me today. Is this sincere? Or is this a conspiracy?

I looked at Chan with surprise and suspicion, and she once again put on a shameful expression. "I have always known about this matter. It's been so long since I've clearly explained it to my sister. I'm really sorry. "

I shook my head. I didn't blame her. Even if what she said is true, I can't blame her. In order to protect themselves, the women in the palace tended to rely on powerful concubines. This was a natural thing to do, so there was nothing strange about it. It's just that, I'm curious as to why she brought out Imperial Concubine Yi. Did she fall out with her?

I raised my own question, and Chan Consort's eyes were once again filled with pleading. "Your Majesty's love for Big Sister is unrivaled. The reason why Leng Chan has come to pay her respects to elder sister today is because I want to ask you to do me a favour. "

"What kind of help?"

Chan Consort said: "The reason Imperial Concubine poisoned Your Majesty was actually because she wanted to blame you, Big Sis. On that day, you left the Flying Flood Platform and had the palace maid pack up some food to return to the palace. The palace maid that was in charge of preparing the food was one of the palace maids by my side. However, she is not my trusted aide. She is the spy that Senior Concubine Yi placed at my side. She was ordered by Senior Concubine Yi. "

I looked at her in shock, and she continued, "I know you must be wondering why I suddenly told you this. Actually, the first time they met that day, he had been rude to his sister because he was forced to behave like an imperial concubine … I, I was forced! "

As Chan Fei said that, her eyes started to tear up. I turned pale with fright and quickly found a handkerchief to wipe her tears away.

Listening to her recount in detail, it turned out that after she had entered the palace, she had always been suppressed by Imperial Concubine Yi. In a situation where she had no other options, she had decided to submit to her. The palace maids around her were mostly the spies set up by Imperial Concubine Yi, and her imperial concubines weren't much better off either. Most of them had been beaten down by her.

"Now, it's finally time for big sister to come. I'm begging big sister to help us make the decision." Chan Fei lowered her body to me and begged weakly.

I was momentarily baffled.

I don't care if what she said is true or not, as I am still unable to protect myself, how can I stir up trouble like the Yan Hua Palace?

Thus, I bitterly smiled and said, "Thank you, Lady Chan, for trusting me. But, where did I get the favor of the Emperor? Due to the poison, the emperor hasn't seen me for more than a month. Now that I'm unable to protect myself, how can I help you all? "

Chan Fei Fei shook her head resolutely: "Elder sister's words are wrong! Although the Emperor hasn't summoned you in this month, I heard that he comes to see you every night! In this month, every night, the emperor will stand by your window and watch you without interruption.

I was stunned, as if something had struck me in the chest. I lowered my eyes.

Chan Concubine covered her lips and smiled lightly, "Big Sis is truly broad-minded, sleeping so deeply."

She didn't look like she was lying. I felt embarrassed.

If what she said was true, then Yan Hua … The guilt in my heart was worse than ever.

But even so, I'm not in the mood for these women. Just as I was about to return to Consort Chan, she suddenly grabbed my hand and begged, "Elder sister, you have to help me this time! Because of me, I'm pregnant! "

"What?" I stared at her. She lowered her head, a hint of pink appearing in her ears, as if she were embarrassed. "I'm pregnant.

I was stunned. "That's a good thing!" The Emperor currently had no sons, so the Empress must be highly valued if she became pregnant. If she gave birth to a prince, she could be conferred the title of crown prince. In the future, the Empress's future would be limitless …

Chan Concubine interrupted me: "But, if Big Sister doesn't help me, there's no way this child will be born! Imperial Concubine Yi won't let me off! "

I looked at her in astonishment. Tears were already brimming in Chan Fei's eyes: "Elder sister, you have to help me! For the sake of this child! "
