"Yes, Niangmei, wait for me and I'll go ask around." Xue Mei replied obediently.

Although Dongfang Ziqing didn't really care about food and clothing, she still loved tea a lot. She naturally wouldn't let go of such a sweet and mellow tea.

Just as Dongfang Ziqing and Xue Mei were chatting, Dongfang Ziqing suddenly heard the sound of porcelain breaking. Dongfang Ziqing had suddenly heard this sound and turned around to look. However, she didn't expect to see three concubines from the imperial harem rushing towards her with sabers in their hands. When Dongfang Ziqing saw this, she was stunned.

Luckily, Xue Mei, who was standing behind Dongfang Ziqing, was quite quick-witted. She could tell that something was wrong with Dongfang Ziqing, so she quickly pulled her sleeve and shouted, "Empress, be careful! Get out of my way!"

Only then did Dong Fang Zi Qing come back to her senses, and dodged to the side. However, because Dong Dong Fang Zi Qing's position was not good, she was close to the wall of the Aegis Pavilion, and the three concubines were rushing over from three different directions. In an instant, Dong Dong Fang Zi Qing dodged to the left and right, and the situation became extremely dangerous.

The worst thing was, when Dongfang Ziqing reacted to Xue Mei's reminder, the other emissaries on the side also recovered from their initial shock and started to scream loudly. Everyone dodged around, and for a while, the scene became chaotic and uncontrollable.

Dongfang Ziqing originally had more room to dodge, but now that the situation had become so chaotic, she felt that her surroundings had become very crowded. No matter where Dongfang Ziqing wanted to hide, there would always be someone blocking her path. In a trance, Dongfang Ziqing seemed to see Imperial Concubine Chen and Imperial Concubine Nalan's sinister smiles.

However, Dongfang Ziqing couldn't care so much anymore. She didn't know why the three concubines would suddenly run over to her like crazy and stab her. At this moment, the only thought in Dong Fang Zi Qing's mind was to escape, and try to escape from the three concubines' line of sight.

Dongfang Ziqing didn't want to die, and Dongfang Ziqing couldn't either. She had too many unfulfilled wishes, too many things that she couldn't let go of. The most important thing was that Dongfang Ziqing did not want to die without knowing why. Therefore, at this moment, Dongfang Ziqing desperately dodged toward the areas with the tiniest gap in space. Never had she felt such a close death so vividly before. Never before had Dongfang Ziqing's heart been filled with such strong desire to survive.

Unfortunately, Dongfang Ziqing had nowhere to hide. Although the crowd was chaotic, with many palace maids, eunuchs, and concubines falling into chaos, for some reason, the three concubines finally closed in on Dongfang Ziqing once more. Dongfang Ziqing could clearly see the cold glint of the knives in the three concubines' hands. She even closed her eyes in despair.

If he could not save himself from death, then no matter how much he struggled, it was useless. At this moment, Dongfang Ziqing thought of many things. Many people's faces appeared clearly in front of her.

"Since it's so shallow, how can my feelings be so deep?" The last sentence suddenly appeared in Dongfang Ziqing's mind. Dongfang Ziqing even felt that in the next moment, she would be engulfed by endless darkness.

"Empress!" At this moment, the heart-wrenching cry of Xuemei suddenly came from beside Dongfang Ziqing. In the next moment, Dongfang Ziqing felt a body leap in front of her and then block the attack in front of her. When Dongfang Ziqing opened her eyes, she saw Xuemei's face twitching in pain.

Then, Dongfang Ziqing saw that Xue Mei's arm was completely red. She didn't expect this to happen. Dongfang Ziqing only felt her mind go blank.

At this moment, the Emperor's angry voice rang out from within the Pavilion of Jadeite and the chaotic crowd finally stopped. The guards reacted and pressed the three crazed concubines onto the crimson carpet. Dong Fang Qing Qing also recovered from her shock and hugged Xue Mei. She then looked at her three crazy concubines with slight fright.

Dongfang Ziqing was currently observing the three concubines up close. She also discovered that there was something wrong with them. Their expressions were malevolent, and their eyes had a tinge of scarlet to them. This feeling? It seemed to be something that could only be seen on a crazy beast. Dongfang Ziqing held Xue Mei tightly as she looked at the three pairs of scarlet eyes. It was as if Xue Mei was the only one Dongfang Ziqing could rely on right now.

At this moment, Dongfang Ziqing was sitting in her own bedroom, sipping the fragrant tea in her hands as she thought about what had happened at the luncheon. For some reason, Dongfang Ziqing felt that the cup of tea in her hand no longer had the faint aroma of the tea she drank at the luncheon earlier. The fragrance was slightly intoxicating and somewhat fragrant.

"Could the problem be within that tea?" That made sense. Previously, everyone was still sitting in their seats, happily chatting while eating. However, I didn't expect that after finishing my tea, I would be attacked by three concubines at the same time. No reason? At that time, the Emperor was still seated upon his throne. Unless the three concubines had lost their will to live, they would not dare to act so impudently in front of the Emperor, Xuanyuan Chen, and Chen Mo.

I've been in the palace for so long, and although I've had a few concubines and imperial concubines fall into my hands a few times, they've all been beaten up by me. However, I didn't have much of an impression of the concubines that attacked me today. They seemed to be new faces, so why would the three of them do that? Even if they hated me and hated me for stealing the emperor's favor from Xuanyuan Chen Mo, if they killed me just like that, the three of them wouldn't be able to escape death and would even implicate their own families.

No, this must have something to do with the empress Shangguan Wangxue, how could there be such a coincidence? I happened to be sitting in the seat that Shangguan Tianxue had arranged for me, and then I was assassinated by three concubines at the same time, and the angle of attack just happened to seal the biggest gap in the three spaces I had escaped from. It's a good thing that I trained hard in Yuwen Yanran's dance before entering the palace, so my body became much more nimble. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn't have been able to dodge it.

The most hateful thing is that now that I think about it, Imperial Concubine Chen and Imperial Concubine Nalan must be involved in this as well. Every time I thought about hiding in a gap, there just happens to be someone blocking my way. No, I must find out the truth about this matter. "Even if it's not for myself, I have to think for Xue Mei who is still lying inside. I don't want her to be injured for no reason." Dongfang Ziqing thought silently in her heart.

On the surface, Dongfang Ziqing looked very calm. She was just sipping the fragrant tea in her hand, but a meticulous person would discover that Dongfang Ziqing's expression was constantly changing. When Dongfang Ziqing finally put down the fragrant tea, Dongfang Ziqing's expression had already changed to one of determination.

Zhigong. Yi Fei's bedroom.

Last night, Yi Fei was lying on her bed under the care of Pearl. Unknowingly, she fell asleep. That night, Yi Fei slept very soundly. Later that night, after Pearl came back from the Eastern Zi Qing's Wutong Road, she saw that Yi Fei was still sleeping, so she returned to her side room to sleep in peace. Yi Fei's face was brimming with a warm and peaceful expression. Perhaps, she must have had a sweet dream.

The next day, in the morning, shortly after the beginning of the Wishing Ghost Exorcist Ceremony, Yi Feifei finally ended the peaceful beautiful dream that she had not slept in for many days and woke up. After Yi Fei woke up, she immediately opened her eyes. When she saw that she was still in her own bedroom, and that she was still lying on her own warm and comfortable bed, she felt relieved.

Perhaps it was because of Pearl's careful care and the kind of warmth that they had been getting along with each other for a long time. After Yi Fei woke up today, she felt much better. Her whole body felt comfortable, and her mood seemed to have improved a lot.

"Now, I can finally confirm that I have been released from prison by the Emperor! People often said that if one didn't die from a great tribulation, there would always be a blessing in disguise! I don't need to have any more blessings in the future, I just need to be able to live a peaceful and peaceful life like before. This harem is extravagantly luxurious, but a conspiracy is hard to guard against. I hope that I can be independent from the harem.
