When Chu Qi found out that Shi Qiang was about to leave, she didn't plan to follow her.

Redemption is actually a process of strategy, which must be done step by step.

The strategy for Shi Qiang these days has reached a threshold. Continuing to work hard will not lead to any improvement, and constantly disturbing her will have the opposite effect.

After the troupe performed about four or five shows, a long green snake was brought onto the stage by a stunning woman playing the flute.

Emperor Yanqing's usually lazy eyes suddenly lit up after seeing the stunning woman, and he repeatedly praised the woman on the stage for her wonderful performance.

Xiang Fei clenched her handkerchief tightly. Some time ago, the old emperor called her Little Sweetie, but now he has set his eyes on the snake-training and flute-playing woman. Jealousy sprouted in her heart and her face darkened.

A white cat quietly appeared in the audience at some point. It sniffed the air intently, its green vertical pupils flashing with a cold light, even colder than the icy weather.

Last night, Chu Qi eavesdropped on the palace maid called Aunt Molan by the eunuchs, who was standing next to Concubine Jing and whispering to her. She kept an eye on the direction of the white cat.

Concubine Jing picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and listened to Molan's report. A hint of pride appeared in her beautiful eyes.

Xiang Fei had been favored for so many days, it was time to give up the favor. Jing Fei tapped the armrest of the chair with her armored fingers, looking forward to the "main event" that was about to be staged.

Chu Qi has always loved stuffed animals, and the white cat that shuttled into the crowd caught her attention.

Therefore, she also noticed that the white cat was not in an normal state.

The white cat sniffed the crowd for a while. A eunuch walked over and seemed to accidentally touch the white cat's soft belly with his foot, turning it over.

Facing the Xiang Fei in the distance.

At that time, Xiang Fei was still feeling jealous and had no idea that danger was approaching.

The white cat scurried out so fast that only its afterimage could be seen. The maids and eunuchs serving Concubine Xiang screamed and tried to stop the cat that suddenly rushed over, but it was so fast that they could only grab the cat's fur.

The white cat pounced on Xiang Fei, who had not yet come to her senses. It kicked the ground with its two hind legs to gather strength, and its body was like an arrow shot from a bow. It pounced on Xiang Fei fiercely with its front paws and head.

The latter protected his stomach in fear, but it was too late.

Not only was her stomach badly injured, but when she reached out to stop the white cat, she was scratched viciously by it.

After completing the crime, the white cat immediately turned around and dived back into the crowd. It quickly passed through the bustling crowd and disappeared into the flowers of the imperial garden.

It’s a long story, but in reality it all happened in a flash. It took no more than a minute for the white cat to commit the crime and make a perfect exit.

The palace maids and eunuchs who were pushing and shoving against each other to protect their master bumped their heads and shoulders against each other, and only touched a few hairs of the white cat.

Xiang Fei cried out in pain and screamed for the imperial physician.

Emperor Yanqing was originally lying comfortably in the arms of another favorite concubine, enjoying the massage, when he suddenly heard a scream. He was startled and immediately went to check the situation.

Xiang Fei was seen lying in the arms of a palace maid with a pale face. Her clean white fingers were trembling as she touched her belly. When she saw the old emperor coming over, she stretched out her hand with tears in her eyes:

"Your Majesty, my stomach hurts..."

Emperor Yanqing's face changed.

"Call the imperial physician!!" He roared in a deep voice, stretched out his hand to grab Xiang Fei's hand bones, and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, Xiang Fei, the imperial physician will be here soon..."

"My child..." Xiang Fei grabbed the old emperor's hand, her voice trembling and weak.

The performance on the stage stopped at some point.

The banquet was originally held to celebrate Xiang Fei's birthday, but it ended in bloodshed. Xiang Fei's fetus was not saved, and she suffered neurasthenia due to extreme shock and was carried back to the bedroom to recuperate.

This accident reminded Chu Qi of the conspiracy she saw last night. It turned out that Xiang Fei's miscarriage referred to today's "accident". Chu Qi's nerves became tense, knowing that things might develop in an uncontrollable direction. She quietly left, looking for the traces of the promise.

Xiang Fei was attacked by a white cat and had a miscarriage, which aroused the old emperor's wrath. The emperor's wrath implicated many people, and the maids and eunuchs who served Xiang Fei were all sentenced to death for improperly protecting their master.

The culprit, the white cat, seemed to have disappeared, and no trace of it was found even after searching the entire palace.

Some people speculated that the white cat might have come from outside.

This attack involved dragon species, and the troupe was severely punished because they failed to find evidence to prove that the white cat was the troupe's pet. After being punished, the troupe was released from the palace.

Fortunately, it was not a serious crime punishable by beheading. The punished troupe was so scared that they left the palace and packed their luggage overnight. They drove out of the Forbidden City early the next morning.

Of course, the follow-up to the above birthday party is a story for later.

*

The timeline goes back to the birthday party.

In a secluded corner of the Imperial Garden, Shi Qiang was admiring the flowers when suddenly, a figure walked towards her.

When she looked back, she found that it was Xiao Wuzi. Her heart skipped a beat, thinking that Xiao Wuzi had come to look for her because he missed her so much. She was thinking about how to respond, but she saw Xiao Wuzi with a serious expression, hurried over and said:

"Hurry back to the palace, the Fragrant Concubine was scratched by a cat, the Emperor has sent someone to investigate!"

If she agreed to stay in the Imperial Garden when she was discovered, such an unconventional act might incur the Emperor's wrath.

In the original plot, the original owner did not come to attend the banquet at this time, but was recuperating in the Silijian.

Later, after the incident of the Fragrant Concubine had passed, the original owner had heard some gossip about the eunuchs.

It was said that a concubine was not at the banquet, but in the Imperial Garden, and was suspected of disrespecting Xiang Fei's birthday banquet. Even if she was not the real culprit who instigated Bai Mao to take action, she should be punished.

I heard that the promise was punished with ten strokes of the cane for this...
