Chapter 2305: Praising the High and Scolding the Low
"Fortunately, we didn't offend her too much before. Otherwise, now——"
After hearing this, Xin Mimi thought for a moment and lowered her voice to ask, "Does she know about our previous dealings with the Wu family?"
Having said this, she looked around vigilantly.
Suddenly, I saw some withered branches shaking on the fork in the road ahead, and I stopped talking.
I hurried over to take a look—
But there was no one there, only a gust of wind that caused the branches to sway again. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You scared me."
Kang Biyun said, "Don't scare yourself."
“…”
"Our affairs were all conducted in secret. Moreover, thanks to Wu, she was afraid that our relationship with her would be known by the people in the harem, so even the interactions between our families were kept secret."
“…”
"Now, the Duke's faction has been completely investigated, and we are all safe, which shows that we have not revealed our tracks."
"That's true."
Xin Mimi breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "But now the imperial concubine is the only one in power in the harem. There's no chance for us to make a name for ourselves."
Kang Biyun sighed and said, "Stand out? Don't even think about it."
“…”
"Look at Chen Lianxiang. She wanted to stand out during the late Queen's funeral. What happened?"
“…”
"I offended Ruan Mei, but I was only given the accusation of 'no fault'."
“…”
"Now, we still don't know how the Imperial Concubine plans to deal with her. Everyone knows the Imperial Concubine's methods now. As for Li Pan'er—now she should be called Concubine Yi—her family background is not even comparable to that of the Imperial Concubine. She still has to be obedient in order to get a position as a concubine under the Imperial Concubine."
“…”
"Who else can gain any benefit from it?"
Xin Mimi walked a few steps forward with her and said, "Are you really willing to do this? Just let us die of old age in the palace?"
Kang Biyun was silent for a while, didn't say anything, just sighed.
Perhaps because she was blown by the wind when she passed by the fork in the road, she covered her mouth and coughed twice. Xin Mimi frowned and said, "Why, you caught a cold before, and it's not healed yet?"
"It's okay, just go back and find a way to get a doctor to take a look."
"Ask a doctor?"
Xin Mimi suddenly looked at her and said, "You want to ask that Doctor Xue again?"
When "Doctor Xue" was mentioned, Kang Biyun's face, which was already red due to coughing, became even redder.
Xin Mimi frowned and said, "Now, Doctor Xue is at the Emperor's disposal. Why are you joining in on this fun?"
“…”
"Jieyu, we entered the palace together. Don't blame me for not reminding you."
“…”
"If anything were to happen between the imperial physician and the concubines...it would be a matter of life and death."
Kang Biyun immediately said, "What are you talking about? I just wanted to ask him to come and see me. I don't have any other ideas."
“…”
"Besides, the other doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau are all flatterers. Seeing that we are powerless, they don't care about our lives. Only he doesn't care about our low rank and can't give us any rewards and still comes to see us. If not him, who else can we go to?"
Xin Mimi looked at her again.
Then he said, "It's best if you think so."
The two of them walked forward while talking, and soon disappeared in the corridor.
Behind them, on the fork in the road where the shadows of trees were swaying, a man slowly walked out, looking at their backs with a cold gaze.
But it was Concubine Shen Lianxiang.
