Huanbi came to the cold palace and saw Yu spilled the poison, tore the white silk, cried and shouted to see the emperor, and cursed Zhen Huan. Huanbi asked: "Do you know why the emperor sentenced you to death?"

Yu's eyes widened, and she looked like she was going to eat someone, "It's all because of that bitch Zhen Huan!"

Huanbi smiled, "You and I are both slaves, so we naturally know our own weight. You would never think of drugging our young master. If you are willing to tell me who gave you the idea and who gave the drug to Xiao Yinzi, so that he and Hua Sui could work together to kill Wan Guiren, our young master will go and beg the emperor to spare your life."

Yu laughed: "Hahaha, I won't tell you!"

Huanbi asked, "So there is such a person, it's Concubine Hua, right?"

Hearing Hua Fei's name, Yu's eyes were a little evasive. She shook her head and stepped back, "No... Not her!"

"Then it's Lipin?"

Yu rolled her eyes and suddenly asked, "If I tell you, will Zhen Huan really let me go?"

Huanbi stroked her handkerchief and nodded, "This matter was originally aimed at our young master, and the emperor dotes on her very much. You know this too. As long as our young master is willing to give in, the emperor will spare your death."

At this time Su Peisheng suddenly coughed. Huanbi knew that Eunuch Su was reminding her. She turned around and nodded to Eunuch Su, signaling him to rest assured.

Yu stared at her warily and asked, "Su Peisheng said that it was the emperor who ordered my death. How could that bitch Zhen Huan go over the emperor's head?"

Huanbi sneered and said lazily: "If you believe it, you still have a chance to survive. If you don't believe it, this day next year will be your death anniversary."

When Yu heard this, she trembled with fear. No matter how she pretended to be tough, if she really had to face death, how could she not be afraid?

"Okay, I'll tell you!" Yu suddenly sat down on a stool covered with cobwebs, looking distraught.

At this time, Su Peisheng stepped forward and reminded: "Miss Huanbi, I am here on the orders of the Emperor to deal with Yu. If you do this, I am worried..."

Huanbi knew very well that Su Peisheng had always been loyal to the emperor. He would protect anyone the emperor liked. The reason why he stopped her twice today was simply because he was afraid that Yu would betray Concubine Hua. The emperor still liked Concubine Hua very much at this time. After all, Zhen Huan was a new favorite, not like Concubine Hua who had been favored for many years. Eunuch Su did not want to make the emperor unhappy because of a newcomer.

So she walked to Su Peisheng's ear and whispered a few words. Su Peisheng nodded, told her to finish quickly, and went out.

At this moment, there were only two of them in the dim and damp room. Huanbi waited for a long time, and Yu finally told her that this method was taught to her by Concubine Li and Concubine Cao.

Huanbi naturally didn't believe it, but seeing how defensive she was, she guessed that Yu's family must be in Hua Fei's hands, and she would never betray Hua Fei. Moreover, with Hua Fei's stupid and straightforward personality, this idea was most likely thought up by Lipin and Cao Guiren around her.

It would be a relief if Hua Fei could not be overthrown this time and she lost Lipin or Cao Guiren, her two right-hand men!

So she played along with the enemy, got the answer and left the cold palace. As for asking the emperor for mercy, Huanbi knew that she didn't have the ability to do so, and her own mistress had no reason to get involved in such mess.

At dusk, news came from the cold palace that Yu had died. It was said that Xiao Xia Zi strangled her with a kite string, but this had little to do with Sui Yuxuan.

When Huanbi came back, Lingrong and Meizhuang were still in Suiyuxuan. She told the three ladies what had happened, and the three of them praised her intelligence.

Zhen Huan smiled and said, "We may not be able to shake the tiger this time, but we may be able to remove its claws and fangs."

Sister Mei also nodded in agreement, "I've figured it out. We have to take our time to take revenge. Concubine Hua has been standing firm in the palace for many years. She must have her own strengths. With the few of us and our limited experience, we can only do it step by step."

Huanbi looked at the bamboo painted with ink by the young lady on the windowsill and suddenly thought of an idea.

In a blink of an eye, it was Qingming Festival. On this day, Huanbi thought of her mother and felt a little lost. She walked alone and came to the edge of Imperial Lake.

In previous years, she would go out of the palace to burn some paper money for her mother during the Qingming Festival, but this year she was not allowed to burn those in the palace. Looking at the clear lake, a feeling of sadness surged in her heart, and her eyes could not help but turn red.

"The spring is bright and beautiful, but it makes the beauty wet with tears. It is really its fault."

Behind her, a clear, warm voice sounded, with a hint of unrestrainedness. Huanbi hurriedly wiped away her tears and turned away.

It’s Prince Guo!

In just a moment, Huanbi lost her mind, as if her head was hit. After a moment of stunnedness, she finally looked away, and a light of unknown meaning flashed in her slightly red eyes.

On New Year's Eve in the Plum Garden, she just glanced at him secretly and couldn't help herself. Today, when Prince Guo stood in front of her, she realized that the person she had loved all her life, she still wanted to possess him when she saw him again. He was even more radiant today than in his previous life.

Seeing her expression stagnant, Prince Guo stretched out his hand and waved it, asking, "Miss, is there anything on your mind?"

Huanbi came back to her senses and shook her head.

"Girl, if you have anything to say, you can tell me. Perhaps I can help you solve the confusion in your heart."

Huanbi pretended to be ignorant and asked tentatively, "Are you the prince?"

Ah Jin reminded him, "This is our Seventeenth Master, Prince Guo."

Huanbi bowed deeply and bowed.

"May I ask what's your name, girl?"

Huanbi said her name.

Prince Guo nodded calmly and looked at her clothes, "Huanbi, no wonder you are wearing green."

Huanbi retorted: "I don't like green, I like red. Red is bright, warm and brilliant, unlike green which is so forbearing and sad."

Prince Guo nodded again and said with emotion: "Yes, this is the difficulty of being a servant. You can't even wear what you like openly."

"By the way, do you like reading?"

Huanbi looked at him in confusion, not understanding why he asked that.

Prince Guo realized his abruptness and explained with a smile: "Listening to Miss Huanbi's words, I always feel that you are not like ordinary palace maids who are ignorant of poetry and literature. On the contrary, I think your temperament is more dignified and steady than that of ordinary palace maids. I think you should like poetry and literature."

Huanbi nodded and said, "My noble lady Wan loves reading. Over time, I have also been influenced by her and know only a few poems and books. I am sorry to make you laugh, Your Majesty."

Prince Guo shook his head and said, "No, the most important thing for a person is not his status, but to be knowledgeable, polite, and enterprising. Although Miss Huanbi is a maid, she has done a good job in this regard. Why should she belittle herself?"

Huanbi was amused by his words, but she didn't dare to continue chatting, for she was afraid that if they stayed together for too long, she would become unable to control her expression and Prince Guo would notice something, so she said goodbye and left.
