The Imperial Noble Consort, who was smashing something, suddenly looked at the flower branch beside her.
"Huazhi, go out and find out if your good friend Hualei has returned?"
Huazhi nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.
Years ago, Huazhi and Huafei were good friends, and they were from the same hometown.
Sold to human traffickers in the same way, the two girls vowed to become sisters.
They were even more unwilling to call him Zhaodi or Laidi anymore.
So they named each other Huazhi and Hualei, and the two even vowed to be best friends for life.
The two were sold into the palace at the same time and were even assigned to the same palace of the Imperial Concubine.
But everything changed the night the emperor misjudged someone.
Hua Lei was promoted to the rank of Consort, but Hua Zhi was still working in the Imperial Noble Consort's palace at the time.
The Imperial Noble Consort hated Consort Hua intensely, but Consort Hua was pregnant after all.
So there's no way to get the flowers to agree to anything?
However, Huazhi was subjected to all sorts of torment in the Imperial Noble Consort's palace.
It was precisely because of this that Huazhi came to hate Hua Daying.
Huazhi has always been rather weak-willed, and most importantly, she is a bully who preys on the weak and fears the strong.
Even though it was the Imperial Noble Consort who tortured her, she blamed everything on her former best friend.
Since becoming a concubine, Hua Lei has been constantly thinking about how to rescue her friend.
She thought that after her child was born, she would ask the emperor to grant her the favor of having her former best friend.
Thinking that the emperor would surely agree because of her childbirth, she didn't tell Huazhi directly.
But the flower branches behind her seemed to target Hua Yunpeng at every turn.
She even personally brought over the soup that caused the miscarriage.
Fortunately, Consort Hua was clever and saw through the Imperial Noble Consort's scheme, thus saving the child.
Although Hua Lei felt sorry for her best friend, since her best friend had already chosen the Imperial Noble Consort.
Then I won't need to rescue this kind of person anymore.
Later, when Consort Hua left the palace to pray for blessings, Huazhi bribed one of the guards to make contact with someone arranged outside to reveal her whereabouts.
It was precisely because of this that the Imperial Noble Consort was able to easily find out which route Consort Hua had taken to return.
They even arranged for assassins to kill her in advance.
This led to the tragedy that followed.
Huazhi received instructions from the Imperial Noble Consort and went out to investigate.
The final result was that the Seventh Prince had returned, but Consort Hua had passed away two years earlier.
When Huazhi received this news, she was somewhat dazed.
She has been having nightmares all these years.
Sometimes I dream of growing up alongside flower buds.
When she was sold to a slave trader, Huazhi was timid by nature and cried all the time.
He was beaten and scolded by that matchmaker more than once, but later he met Hua Lei and Hua Lei protected him.
So he rarely suffered after that.
At that time, Huazhi secretly thought that she would definitely repay Hualei properly when she had the chance in the future.
But ever since Hua Lei and the Seventh Prince disappeared, Hua Zhi has spent every day in distress and regret.
Hua Zhi was lost in thought with her head down when she suddenly bumped into the Seventh Prince.
The seventh prince looked up and saw the woman he hated.
This woman, who used to call herself her mother's best friend, is actually so vicious.
I had heard my mother say before that she had a best friend, Huazhi.
But he was implicated by himself and eventually became estranged from himself.
But she reminded herself that no matter what, Huazhi had her reasons, and that she should help her if possible in the future.
But when he and his mother were intercepted, the person said that it was his mother's good friend who had contacted him.
The Imperial Noble Consort gave a considerable amount of silver, which is why I apologized.
At this moment, Long Mo wished he could execute Hua Zhi right now.
But he knew it wasn't the right time yet.
Hua Zhi saw the Seventh Prince and quickly bowed, saying, "Greetings, Seventh Prince. This servant did not mean it."
"Oh, so you think you can just bump into me like that just because you say it wasn't intentional?"
When did such an insolent servant appear in the palace?
Hua Zhi was so frightened that she became incoherent. She knew that the Seventh Prince must hate her.
They understood even more clearly that the Seventh Prince knew about what happened back then.
But back then, I had no choice; my own life was the most important thing!
Moreover, even though it was clearly her best friend's fault, the Emperor had already granted her a title.
Why can't you just ask the Emperor to take away such a lowly servant like yourself?
The eunuch beside the Seventh Prince, seeing the tactless maid, stepped forward and slapped Huazhi across the face.
"What a shameless servant! How dare he bump into the Seventh Prince!"
"Which palace are you from? Tell me."
Huazhi was so shocked by the blow that she saw stars, but she quickly looked up and replied.
"This servant is from Xiuli Palace, and is a first-class maidservant by the side of the Imperial Noble Consort."
The Imperial Noble Consort just ordered me to come and get something, and that's when I forgot to watch where I was going and bumped into the Seventh Prince.
I implore the Seventh Prince to be magnanimous and spare this servant.
The eunuch in front of the Seventh Prince frowned. Since she was from the Imperial Noble Consort's palace...
If they were to drag him away and behead him directly, they might offend the Imperial Noble Consort.
But now the Seventh Prince is a favorite of the Emperor.
Just now, Eunuch De personally gave instructions that the Emperor is feeling guilty now that the Seventh Prince has just returned to the palace.
All expenses still had to be prioritized for the Seventh Prince, which put the eunuch beside the Seventh Prince in a difficult position.
The Seventh Prince could see it clearly, but he simply waved his hand.
"Since it wasn't intentional, just be more careful next time. I'm not the kind of person who holds grudges against others."
Hua Zhi quickly kowtowed to express her gratitude.
Then he got up and left in a flash, but the Seventh Prince narrowed his eyes behind him.
Everything has only just begun; it would be bad to alert them at this point.
Even if these insignificant people are to die, they will die after the Imperial Noble Consort.
The eunuch standing to the side shook his head inwardly, thinking that the seventh prince was still too kind.
How can I gain a foothold in the palace like this?
After all, without a powerful maternal clan, even a prince would not be well-liked in the palace.
At this time, having the emperor's favor is fine, but once the emperor's favor is gone, how will one survive in the harem?
The Seventh Prince was naturally unaware of what the eunuch beside him was thinking, and even if he had known, he wouldn't have felt anything about it.
Huazhi, who had run far away, finally breathed a sigh of relief and touched her burning face.
Only then did he rush to the Imperial Noble Consort's palace to report.
"You're back. What's the situation over there?"
The Imperial Noble Consort was getting impatient and wanted to know about the woman's situation.
Hua Zhi, covering her slapped face, replied, "Reporting to the Imperial Noble Consort, only the Seventh Prince has returned."
It is said that Consort Hua succumbed to her injuries and passed away more than two years ago.
Hearing the kneeling maid say this, the Imperial Noble Consort felt a little relieved.
