Chapter 2411 The Secret of Two People
"Really?"
Chen Lianxiang smiled and said, "I thought you two were good sisters, looking after each other, and you should know everything about her."
Xin Mimi's face turned pale.
When everyone heard this, they all turned around and looked at her.
Even Concubine Yi Li Pan'er said, "Yes, Lady Xin, you and Concubine Kang have always had a good relationship. She has been ill these days, and you have often visited her. She is really so ill that people--"
Although it is still winter, the wind is cold and the ice and snow have not melted.
But cold sweat had already appeared on Xin Mimi's back.
She reluctantly said, "Well, I have been feeling a little unwell these past two days and have been resting. I haven't been to Yangxingzhai to see her."
“…”
"Probably, her condition suddenly worsened in the past two days."
"……is that so?"
Concubine Yi looked at her again in confusion.
At this moment, Concubine Shun Xinqing also came over from another road. Everyone came forward to salute her.
Concubine Yi asked, "Sister Shunfei is out today too?"
Xin Qing's face was filled with a hint of sadness as she said, "I've heard about Concubine Kang's affairs. Have you... heard about them too?"
Everyone said yes.
Xin Qing said, "I don't know how, but he suddenly disappeared. So I want to ask the Imperial Concubine."
“…”
"If her funeral is to be handled, we sisters in the harem must contribute together."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Concubine Yi said, "In that case, let's all go together."
So everyone walked towards the imperial concubine's bedroom together.
Although they were walking all the way, Xin Mimi slowed down her pace and unknowingly fell to the end of the team. The other person walking behind the team was Concubine Jing Chen Lianxiang.
She said softly, "Sister Jingpin."
"Um?"
Chen Lianxiang turned around with a slight smile on her face. Seeing her pale face and panic-stricken look, she whispered, "Why are you so distraught?"
"I……"
Xin Mimi found it difficult to speak.
Chen Lianxiang said, "We will go to the Imperial Concubine to pay our respects later. You are so distraught. If you lose your composure, the Imperial Concubine will blame you."
The more she said this, the uglier Xin Mimi's face became.
Xin Mimi gritted her teeth and whispered, "There is one thing I want to tell you. Don't spread what you said to me before. Don't tell anyone."
"Those words?"
Chen Lianxiang asked doubtfully, "What words?"
"That's right, it's what you told me when the Imperial Concubine was conducting a thorough investigation in the harem."
"oh,"
Chen Lianxiang seemed to have just remembered and said, "That's what I said, you and Kang Jieyu are both——"
Having said this, she suddenly paused.
As if coming to her senses, she stared at Xin Mimi with wide eyes, but saw that the latter lowered her head and seemed not to dare to look her in the eye.
Chen Lianxiang gasped and said in a low voice, “You, you really went?”
"Then, then she died because—"
Xin Mimi was so frightened that she waved her hands at her and glanced ahead. Fortunately, the people walking in front were talking about it, and no one noticed the two of them. She was sweating profusely and whispered in Chen Lianxiang's ear, "Sister, please don't tell anyone. The Imperial Concubine has instructed that this matter must not be spread."
"Can't spread it out?"
"yes."
"If she did something wrong, she should be punished. Why can't the news be spread?"
"this--"
Xin Mimi had an embarrassment on her face. Chen Lianxiang looked at her like this and said, "Forget it. If you don't tell me, I won't ask. Since it's the Imperial Concubine's order, all of us should obey her."
Only then did Xin Mimi breathe a sigh of relief.
Chen Lianxiang glanced at her again and said with an expression of disbelief: "I really can't believe that you actually sued her."
Xin Mimi's face turned red and white.
Originally, informing on others was not a glorious thing, not to mention that the entire harem knew that she and Kang Biyun were good sisters. In fact, before this incident, she had always treated Kang Biyun as a good sister. Knowing that she had developed feelings for Xue Yun, she had admonished her many times.
However, in order to save her own life, she had no choice but to resort to this last resort.
But now that people know that I betrayed my sisters, I will inevitably be looked down upon.
It would be fine if only Chen Lianxiang knew about it, but if other people knew about it, she would have no place in the harem.
In fact, she also knew that it was impossible to hide the fact that Kang Biyun died suddenly due to illness from everyone. After all, so many people in Yangxingzhai saw it. She was hit to death. When the news came out, people would inevitably have speculations. However, by blocking Chen Lianxiang's mouth, at least people would not suspect her.
One would only think that the imperial concubine had investigated the harem and discovered Kang Biyun's scandal.
So, she begged again and again: "Sister, please don't tell anyone. I, my life, my property, and my reputation all depend on you."
Chen Lianxiang was also in a cold sweat.
She thought for a long time, then made up her mind and said in a deep voice, "Of course I won't tell anyone. For your sake, and for mine."
“…”
"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have said those few words to you. Now I've hurt Kang Jieyu—she, she won't hate me, will she?"
Xin Mimi said, "She doesn't know that it was my sister who said those things, which is why I reported her."
Chen Lianxiang's eyes flickered slightly.
She then said, "Well, have you told other people?"
Xin Mimi hurriedly said, "I came to beg you not to tell anyone, so how could I possibly tell anyone myself?"
Shen Lianxiang nodded.
Then he said, "Okay, this will be our lifelong secret. I won't tell you, and you won't tell me either. You should keep this secret to yourself and take it to your grave."
"good!"
When Xin Mimi heard her say this, she finally felt relieved.
Chen Lianxiang also breathed a sigh of relief and muttered "Amitabha" twice.
Once the matter was settled, Xin Mimi felt a little contempt for her because she saw how cautious she was. She had managed to protect herself, but she was so timid. She had thought she would be very capable as a concubine, but it seemed that she was no more than that.
However, Chen Lianxiang didn't seem to mind at all that her weak side was revealed in front of her.
He just said cautiously: "Okay, don't walk with me, otherwise others will see the two of us and get suspicious."
Xin Mimi looked at her again.
She smiled faintly and said, "Okay then, sister, take your time."
After saying that, he walked forward on his own and started talking to Concubine Yi and the others.
Shen Lianxiang, who was walking behind her, had a faint, frosty sneer on her beautiful face at this moment.
But immediately, it disappeared without a trace.
