Rebirth of the Princess Pearl

Chapter 11 Undercurrent in Calmness

After Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei and others successfully exposed Concubine Ling's conspiracy, the palace temporarily returned to peace. Xiaoyanzi was still laughing and joking, shuttling around the palace every day, bringing endless joy to everyone. Her smart figure and crisp laughter seemed to be a unique landscape in the palace, adding a bit of vitality to the dull palace life.

Yongqi looked at the energetic Xiaoyanzi, his heart full of love. That day, he and Ertai took a walk in the imperial garden. The sun shone through the gaps between the leaves, forming patches of light. Yongqi narrowed his eyes slightly, but his thoughts drifted to Xiaoyanzi.

"Ertai, seeing Xiaoyanzi so happy, I feel very happy too." Yongqi said with a smile, his eyes full of tenderness.

Ertai nodded: "Fifth Prince, the relationship between you and Xiaoyanzi is really enviable." Ertai looked at Yongqi and felt happy for his friend. He knew that Yongqi found true happiness and warmth in Xiaoyanzi.

Yongqi frowned slightly: "But I always feel that this peace will not last too long." Yongqi was vaguely worried in his heart. The situation in the palace was complicated and changeable, and he knew very well that a new crisis could arise at any time.

Ertai looked at him puzzledly: "Why do you say that?" Ertai didn't quite understand where Yongqi's worries came from.

Yongqi sighed: "The situation in the palace is complicated and changeable. No one knows what will happen next. And although Concubine Ling is under house arrest, she has many followers and they may not give up." There was a hint of worry in Yongqi's eyes. He didn't want to put Xiaoyanzi in danger again.

As he was talking, Little Swallow came running over, with a bright smile on her face, like a flower blooming in spring.

"Yongqi, Ertai, what are you doing here?" Xiaoyanzi asked with a smile, her eyes sparkling and full of curiosity.

When Yongqi saw Xiaoyanzi, his eyes instantly became gentle. He reached out and gently touched Xiaoyanzi's hair.

"Nothing, just taking a walk." Yongqi said, his tone full of doting.

Xiaoyanzi took Yongqi's hand and said, "Let's go and play." She couldn't wait to explore every corner of the palace with Yongqi.

Yongqi smiled helplessly and followed Xiaoyanzi. They came to the lake, the lake was sparkling, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds. Xiaoyanzi ran around happily, her laughter echoing in the air.

"Yongqi, it's so beautiful here." Xiaoyanzi said, her eyes full of admiration for the beautiful scenery.

Yongqi looked at Xiaoyanzi, his heart filled with joy. "As long as you are here, everywhere is beautiful." Yongqi said softly, his eyes full of love.

Xiaoyanzi blinked her eyes: "Yongqi, you are so nice." A happy smile appeared on her face.

However, what they don't know is that a new crisis is quietly approaching. After Concubine Ling was confined, her followers did not give up. They secretly planned how to retaliate against Xiaoyanzi and others. These people were unwilling to fail, and they moved around and looked for opportunities.

One day, Ziwei met a strange maid in the palace. The maid looked at Ziwei and left in a hurry. Ziwei felt that this maid was a little suspicious. Her intuition told her that this maid might be problematic.

She told Xiaoyanzi and Yongqi about this. "Xiaoyanzi, Yongqi, I think that palace maid is very strange, and she seems to have some purpose." Ziwei said, her eyes full of worry.

Xiaoyanzi frowned: "Could it be Concubine Ling's people?" Xiaoyanzi felt uneasy in her heart, she knew that Concubine Ling's people would not let them go easily.

Yongqi pondered for a moment: "It's possible, we have to be careful." Yongqi's face became serious, and he realized that they had to be vigilant.

They began to pay attention to the movements in the palace, and indeed found some anomalies. The behavior of some palace maids and eunuchs was very suspicious, as if they were conveying some message. Their eyes flickered and their movements were hurried, which made people doubt their purpose.

Xiaoyanzi stomped her feet in anger: "These people are so annoying, what are they trying to do now?" Xiaoyanzi always had a hot temper, and she was full of disgust for Concubine Ling's followers.

Yongqi held Xiaoyanzi's hand: "Don't be angry, we will find a way to deal with it." Yongqi's tone was firm, he didn't want to make Xiaoyanzi worry.

They decided to consult the Queen for countermeasures. After listening to them, the Queen also felt that the matter was not simple. The Queen's face was solemn, she knew that this crisis might be more serious than the last time.

"It seems that Concubine Ling's people are not giving up yet. We must be careful and guard against it." The Queen said, with a hint of majesty in her eyes.

Madam Rong said from the side: "Your Majesty, we can't let them succeed." Madam Rong's tone was firm, she was loyal to the queen.

The queen nodded slightly: "Madame Rong, go and investigate the movements of these people and see what they are planning." The queen's order was decisive, and she wanted to grasp the enemy's situation as soon as possible.

Rong Mama took the order and left. Xiaoyanzi and the others were filled with worry, not knowing when this crisis would be over. The situation in the palace was becoming increasingly tense, could they turn the danger into safety again?
