Chapter 176: Old Lover Reunited



"Yes, Su'er, your worries are not unnecessary. Zhen Qia has close ties with the Nian family. Although she hasn't revealed the secret yet, she is on good terms with the Nian family in order to rescue her father. It's possible that she will have no other options and use this matter as a bargaining chip.

Besides, Seventeen was indeed quite decisive towards her at the beginning. If she still harbored resentment, she might expose Seventeen.

So, I think you have to take some measures against her, because she is indeed a hidden danger."

Min Yu's expression became more serious and he spoke in a low voice.

Although the Queen Mother was comforted by him, her face was still pale and she looked a little flustered.

"Measures, what measures?"

"First, control Zhen Yuan Dao, then let Seventeen go find Zhen Cai, calm her down, and temporarily stabilize her. Don't let her talk nonsense in front of Concubine Hua."

Min Yu quickly gave a solution.

The Queen Mother suddenly reacted at this moment, shuddered, and flatly refused.

"No, this won't work! We can't let Yinli see her! And we can't comfort her!

She had been pestering Yinli for a long time. When she and her father got into trouble, Yinli chose to avoid him. Now if he takes the initiative to find her and comfort her, this woman will definitely explode and make unreasonable demands!

This trick won't work. You have to do what I want. Kill this woman directly, magnify the mistakes made by Zhen Yuan Dao, and wipe out the entire Zhen family. This will put an end to all trouble once and for all."

"Absolutely not, Su'er, this matter cannot be handled like this."

Min Yu was shocked when he heard this. Just as he was about to persuade her, he met the empress dowager's sharp and majestic gaze. He was immediately startled and changed his address immediately.

"Empress Dowager, I respectfully advise you not to act rashly on this matter. The affairs of the Zhen Yuan Dao are in the hands of the Emperor, so it's not easy for us to intervene directly. Secondly, although Zhen Cai is of a low rank now, the Emperor still visits her often, and she is now on good terms with Concubine Hua, so it's not easy for us to take action.

The most important thing is that killing an entire family would cause too much noise. If it were to happen, the emperor would find out. If he discovered what Seventeen had prepared secretly, it would be a big deal.

Therefore, I believe that appeasement is the priority. It is not too late to deal with this person and the Zhen family after the major event is completed. Please think twice, Queen Mother!

"But if that's the case, then Seventeen would be too wronged... It's all that bitch's fault. Even though she had already entered the palace to become Prince Four's concubine, she still tried every trick to seduce my Seventeen!

If it weren't for the greater good, I would...after the mission is accomplished, I would kill this bitch with my own hands!"

The Queen Mother's expression was still very ugly, but she bit her back teeth to suppress her hatred and accepted Min Yu's suggestion.

But just like that, the ambiguous and charming atmosphere between the two of them disappeared completely.

Min Yu pulled the empress dowager's clothes over her shoulders, then got up from the bed and put on her shoes and socks.

The Queen Mother did not stop him. She just leaned back on her pillow and watched him leave, then called over a young eunuch.

"Go to the palace and ask the prince to come into the palace."

The sky was just beginning to turn pale, and the lights in the inner courtyard of Suiyuxuan were already on. Zhen Cai had already combed her hair in front of the mirror with the help of the new palace maid Jingwen.

Jingwen looked at Zhenqia's face in the mirror and said with a smile.

"My lady is so pretty. I have been in the palace for so many years, and besides the Imperial Concubine, my lady is the prettiest.

What kind of eyebrows do you want to draw today?"

"I think the willow-leaf-light eyebrows of the Imperial Concubine are beautiful. Let's draw them like her today."

Zhen Qia said with a smile.

She is now getting closer and closer to Concubine Hua. She rushes to Yiku Palace every day to follow the rules, tries her best to please Concubine Hua, and imitates her makeup and clothes, just to get closer to Concubine Hua and win more favor from this woman.

Only in this way could she rescue her father.

Thinking of her father who was still in prison and his condition was unknown, the smile on Zhen Cai's face froze, replaced by a sense of loss and worry.

I don’t know what my father’s situation is now.

Although she had the opportunity to serve Concubine Hua these days, she also had the opportunity to meet Feng Yinzhen. Feng Yinzhen's attitude towards her was obviously much more relaxed than before, and he was even willing to care about her health and mood.

But neither of them mentioned a word about her father, and she didn't dare to say it out loud, so she could only continue to improve her favorability.

But, if this goes on, when will it end? When will my father's problem be resolved?

But things are already like this, and there is no point in thinking about it anymore. Fortunately, Concubine Hua promised her that she would definitely ensure the safety of her father and the Zhen family, so Zhen Cai felt a little relieved.

Jingwen smiled and nodded.

"Yes, then it's Liuye Qingmei... Hey, why is this black brush gone? I clearly remember there were still two when I used it yesterday morning, why is there not a single one left now?"

"No more? Never mind, it's nothing important. We are not as poor as before. Go to the Imperial Household Department and get a box. And bring back two boxes of that beauty product as well. The Imperial Concubine praised me yesterday, saying that the pink rouge suits my skin tone."

Zhen Qia waved her hand nonchalantly, signaling Jingwen to go quickly.

Jingwen didn't say much, hurried out the door and headed to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Zhen Cai looked at her face covered with gouache in the mirror and felt that her face was stunningly beautiful even without any makeup.

It’s a pity that no one can appreciate or cherish such a charming face.

She thought of that man again. That man had held her face many times and said that she was so beautiful that she didn't look like a human. She was like a fairy from heaven. He also said that he would always love her.

But what was the reality? The initial passionate love ended quickly. She didn't even get a breakup call from him. She was just thrown into the harem, unable to even see him.

Thinking of this, Zhen Qia's chest was filled with emotions and she couldn't calm down for a long time.

At this moment, there was a sound of door opening outside.

Zhen Qia thought it was Jingwen who came back, and was afraid of being seen by her, so she wiped her eyes hurriedly. When she turned around, she saw a familiar tall figure walking towards her.

At the same time, a voice as if coming from a dream sounded.

"Ca'er, I'm here. Do you miss me? I miss you so much."

"...Yin, Yinli?"

Zhen Cai's eyes were wide open, but she felt dazed and had an indescribable dreamy feeling in her heart.

She stared at the familiar smiling face and felt more and more like she was in a dream, which was very unreal.

It's him, it's really him.

He actually came to see her.

But, this is not a dream, right?

While Zhen Qia was in a trance, Feng Yinli had already walked over, hugged her in his arms, and whispered softly in her ear with his lips.

"Cai'er, have you become crazy because of thinking about me? I'm sorry, Cai'er, I'm late."

“Bang!”

As soon as Feng Yinzhen finished speaking, he was slapped in the face unexpectedly.

Zhen Qia looked at him angrily, hatred in her eyes.

"Asshole, you still have the nerve to come to me! Didn't you, didn't you think I was dead a long time ago?

Get out, get out, I never want to see you again!"
