Rebirth of the Princess Pearl

Chapter 58: Crisis and Opportunity

In the early morning of the palace, the sky was covered by a layer of light mist. The sun tried hard to penetrate the mist and cast a hazy light. In the imperial garden, the flowers, plants and trees seemed to be covered with a layer of gauze, and the colors of the flowers became a little illusory. Dewdrops rolled on the petals and leaves, like crystal pearls. The early birds chirped on the branches, as if discussing the unknown of this new day.

Xiaoyanzi got up early in the morning. She walked back and forth anxiously in the courtyard of Shufangzhai, rubbing the corners of her clothes with her hands and looking towards the door from time to time, as if waiting for some important news.

"I don't know what this Concubine Hua is up to. I'm so nervous." Xiaoyanzi frowned and muttered to herself.

At this time, Ziwei came out of the room. When she saw Xiaoyanzi's appearance, she sighed softly, walked forward, and took Xiaoyanzi's hand. Ziwei's eyes were soothing, and her movements were gentle, just like the breeze in the early morning.

"Xiaoyanzi, don't worry so much. We are all here. We will always find a way to deal with Concubine Hua's conspiracy." Ziwei said gently.

Xiaoyanzi stopped and looked at Ziwei, her eyes full of trust. "Ziwei, you are right, as long as we are together, we are not afraid of anything."

While the two were talking, Yongqi, Erkang, Ertai and Princess Seya also came to Shufangzhai. Yongqi's steps were steady, and his eyes were firmly looking at Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei; Erkang had a thoughtful look on his face, his hand gently touching his chin; Ertai had an optimistic smile on his face, his shoulders relaxed, giving people a relaxed feeling; Princess Seya took a brisk step, and her eyes were shining with courage.

Yong Qi said, "We have to discuss today how to deal with Concubine Hua's plan. I heard that she has been making up stories about you in front of the emperor again."

Xiaoyanzi's eyes widened when she heard this, and she put her hands on her hips. "Why does Concubine Hua always say bad things about us in front of the Emperor? Can't she just shut up for a while?"

Erkang frowned and said, "She must want the emperor to be suspicious of you so that she can take the opportunity to attack you. We have to find a way to stop her."

Princess Seya clenched her fists and said firmly, "We can't let her succeed. We must take the initiative, find evidence of her conspiracy, and then expose her in front of the emperor."

Ertai nodded in agreement: "Princess Seya is right, we can't always be passive. But where should we start?"

Everyone fell into deep thought, and the surroundings were so quiet that only the occasional chirping of birds and the slight sound of the wind could be heard.

At this time, in Hua Fei's bedroom, Hua Fei was lazily leaning on the couch, and Li Fei was carefully serving her. Hua Fei's fingers gently tapped the armrest of the couch, with a hint of pride in her eyes.

Hua Fei said, "Li Fei, you see Xiao Yanzi and the others must be worried about how to deal with me. I have said a lot of bad things about them in front of the emperor. Although the emperor doesn't completely believe it yet, as long as I add fuel to the fire, they will be in trouble soon."

Concubine Li said worriedly: "Your Majesty, they are not so easy to deal with. What if they find something on us?"

Hua Fei sat up straight, her eyes becoming fierce. "Humph, what can they find? We are always careful and cautious. However, you should still send someone to keep an eye on them and see what they do."

Elsewhere in the palace, Emperor Qianlong was reviewing memorials in his study. He looked a little tired, his brows slightly furrowed, and he kept writing on the memorials with his red brush. The sunlight came in through the window, shining on his dragon robe, reflecting a golden glow.

The eunuch Xiao Lizi said softly, "Your Majesty, you have been reviewing for a long time. Do you want to take a rest?"

Emperor Qianlong shook his head and said, "I am upset now. The affairs of the harem are really giving me a headache. I know that Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei are not bad children, but Concubine Hua always speaks ill of them in front of me. I don't know who to believe."

Little Leo didn't dare to say anything and just stood aside silently.

Back at Shufangzhai, Xiaoyanzi's eyes suddenly lit up and she jumped up excitedly. "I've come up with an idea! We can start with the maids and eunuchs around Concubine Hua. They must know some of Concubine Hua's secrets."

Yongqi nodded: "This is a good idea, but how do we get them to speak?"

Ziwei thought for a moment and said, "We can use our kindness to impress them, or give them some benefits, to let them know that we don't want to harm them, but just want to find out Hua Fei's conspiracy."

Erkang also agreed: "This method is feasible, but we must act carefully and not let Concubine Hua discover our actions."

So, everyone began to discuss the specific action plan. Everyone was full of fighting spirit, with a desire for victory in their eyes. In every corner of the palace, a war without gunpowder was quietly unfolding. The outcome of this war will determine the fate of Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei and others...
