Chapter 2388 Do you want to go too?
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Xin Mimi's eyes suddenly lit up.
Chen Lianxiang said slowly, "I just said that she wants to eliminate dissidents, but she has to have a legitimate reason. Even if she knows you are from the Wu family, you have done nothing wrong. If she fabricates some evidence to punish you, people will inevitably be dissatisfied."
“…”
"So—do you remember what she said today?"
Xin Mimi thought for a moment and immediately said, "She said that the concubines in the harem should supervise each other, and anyone who shields someone will be considered guilty."
"good!"
Chen Lianxiang said, "Think about it, if Concubine Kang finds out you've done something wrong and reports it to the Imperial Concubine at this moment, what will she do?"
“……!”
Upon hearing this, Xin Mimi's breath was choked.
He stammered, "She, she——"
Chen Lianxiang immediately smiled and said, "Of course, this is just my guess—oh no, just nonsense."
“…”
"Sister, you are doing the right thing, so naturally you can't go wrong."
“…”
"Just in case,"
She emphasized the last two words, looked into Xin Mimi's dazed eyes, and said, "Kang Jieyu is very close to you. If she knew any of your secrets and told them to the Imperial Concubine, what do you think she would think?"
Xin Mimi's brows furrowed even tighter.
Chen Lianxiang said softly, "Your Highness naturally understands that those who come to inform on others can be used for personal gain, while those who remain silent are simply resisting stubbornly."
“…”
"At that time, the one who will be dealt with will be you, my sister."
“…”
"Actually, at this point, it all depends on who is at fault and who is the first to express their loyalty to the Imperial Concubine."
When she mentioned the word "wrong", Chen Lianxiang caught a glimpse of Xin Mimi from the corner of her eyes, and a light seemed to flash in her eyes.
Shen Lianxiang remained calm.
Still speaking seriously, "The Imperial Concubine and Madam Wu have a deep hatred. Think about it, when the Imperial Concubine gave birth to this child, she was almost burned to death by Madam Wu. How could she have kept the one Madam Wu left behind?"
At this point, she smiled again and said, "Thanks to you for not telling anyone about what happened to me before, my promotion is also due to your efforts. So, I will have to say something to you this time."
“…”
"Sister Xin, you have to take care of yourself."
“…”
"These days, I've also seen clearly that in this harem, everything is fake, only I am real."
As she spoke, she took Xin Mimi's hand and gently patted the back of her hand.
She patted lightly, but each pat felt like it was hitting Xin Mimi's heart.
Xin Mimi's heartbeat stopped for a moment, then accelerated, and even her breathing became short.
After an unknown amount of time, she let out a deep breath, then slowly stood up and said to Chen Lianxiang, "Empress Jingpin, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."
Chen Lianxiang smiled and said, "Won't you stay a little longer?"
Xin Mimi said, "I won't disturb your Majesty's rest."
Seeing her solemn expression and determined eyes, as if she had made up her mind, Chen Lianxiang did not stay any longer and just smiled and said, "Okay, go back and think about it carefully."
Xin Mimi bowed, turned around and walked out of Xianfu Palace.
Watching her figure go away, Chen Lianxiang chuckled softly and slowly sat back on the couch. Fu'er immediately stepped forward, offered her a cup of tea, and whispered, "My Lady, do you think she will go?"
Shen Lianxiang sneered.
He said slowly, "It depends on whether she is a smart person."
“…”
"In this harem, talking about sisterly love is sheer folly. If the Imperial Concubine still cared about the idea of 'sisterly love,' then the one who should be favored now should be her sister, Xia Yunting, not her."
Although she had just entered the palace years ago, she had already learned many secrets of the harem because of her secret collusion with Wu.
This also includes Xia Yunting back then.
She said coldly: "If Xin Mimiliuo still cares about sisterhood, then she can just wait to die!"
Fu'er said carefully, "She won't tell this to Concubine Kang, will she? If Concubine Kang finds out, she might become suspicious of the Empress after comparing the two."
"Don't worry,"
Chen Lianxiang smiled calmly and said, "Everyone is selfish. The fact that Xin Mimi came to see me proves that she is already thinking about herself."
“…”
"Even if this thing doesn't work out, she won't tell Kang Biyun."
“…”
"After all, Kang Biyun is just a precarious Concubine, and I am a concubine."
“…”
"Xin Mimi doesn't have the ability to know who to get close to."
Fu'er smiled and said, "That makes sense."
Chen Lianxiang picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said slowly: "Now, just wait and see the show begin."

After the cabinet meeting ended, Zhu Feng returned to the imperial study.
As soon as he reached the door, he saw Ye Zheng standing there waiting for him. Seeing him come back, Ye Zheng bowed to him respectfully: "Your Majesty."
"Why are you here?"
"I want to talk to the emperor about something and have been waiting for him."
"Why don't you go in and wait? You're still outside in the wind."
"hey-hey."
Zhu Feng gave him the power to enter and leave the harem freely, but this was the imperial study after all, where memorials reviewed by the emperor and some important documents were stored. Although he was the emperor's confidant and many things were not hidden from him, he himself was still very disciplined.
He just smiled and said, "Wait a minute, it's okay."
But as he was speaking, he pushed open the door and saw that there was a floor heater burning in the imperial study. The hot air made him sneeze several times in succession.
Zhu Feng frowned.
"Look at you!"
Ever since he was injured in Shazhouwei, Ye Zheng's health has been left with some serious illnesses and is not as good as before. Standing in the wind like this, he is bound to catch a cold.
Zhu Feng glared at him: "You really can't take care of yourself?"
Ye Zheng rubbed his nose and chuckled twice.
Zhu Feng said with a half-smile, "It seems I have to find you a wife."
Ye Zheng was stunned for a moment.
He also smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please don't make fun of me. The ancients said that until the Xiongnu are defeated, there is no family. Your Majesty has not completed what he wants to do, so I dare not start a family."
Zhu Feng glanced at him, sighed, and said nothing. He simply walked over, poured a cup of hot tea himself, and put it in his hand. Then he sat behind the imperial desk and said, "What do you want to tell me? Tell me."
Ye Zheng said, "I submitted a memorial yesterday. Mulberry farmers in several places near Jinling are still causing trouble. I would like to request permission to go south to deal with this matter."
“…”
Zhu Feng hesitated for a moment, frowned slightly and said, "You want to go too?"
"also?"
Ye Zheng was stunned and asked, "Who wants to go too?"
