Rebirth of the Princess Pearl

Chapter 70 Discussion of Evidence and Countermeasures

The morning sun shone through the windows of Shufangzhai and sprinkled on the floor, forming patches of bright light. Xiaoyanzi walked around the room, her steps hurried and messy, her eyes full of anger.

"How could Concubine Hua be so bad? We must make her punished!" Xiaoyanzi waved her arms and said in a loud voice.

Ziwei sat on the chair, tapping her fingers lightly on the armrest, her eyes contemplative. "Xiaoyanzi, we have evidence now, but we must be cautious. If we present the evidence directly to the emperor, Concubine Hua might argue that we are framing her." Ziwei's voice was soft, but with unquestionable seriousness.

Yongqi stood aside, his arms folded across his chest, his expression solemn. "Ziwei is right. We need to think of a comprehensive solution so that the emperor will have to trust us." Yongqi frowned, his eyes gleaming with thought.

Erkang walked to the table, picked up a pen, and drew casually on the paper. "We can write what Xiao Dengzi and Xiao Zhuozi heard into an anonymous letter. Then find a reliable person to deliver the letter to the emperor's study. In this way, the emperor will be suspicious after reading the letter, and then we can find an opportunity to take out the evidence." Erkang said as he wrote some key words on the paper, his eyes focused.

Princess Seya was listening nearby and shook her head. "In our Mongolia, warriors will face the enemy directly, not anonymously. I think we should go directly to Concubine Hua and present the evidence to her so that she can't deny it." Princess Seya clenched her fists and said with a firm look in her eyes.

Little Swallow's eyes lit up and she jumped to Princess Seya. "Seya, this is a good idea! Let's go to her directly and see how she can make excuses." Little Swallow excitedly pulled Princess Seya's hand.

Ziwei stood up and walked in front of Xiaoyanzi and Princess Seya. "Xiaoyanzi, Princess Seya, this is too risky. Concubine Hua has great influence in the palace. If she bites back at us, we may get into even bigger trouble." Ziwei's eyes were filled with worry, and she shook her head slightly.

Yongqi also came over and said, "Ziwei is right. We can't act rashly. Although Erkang's method is a bit indirect, it is safer. However, this letter must be written more cleverly so that the emperor will not think that we deliberately fabricated it." Yongqi put his hand on Xiaoyanzi's shoulder, trying to calm her down.

Xiaoyanzi frowned and said reluctantly: "Okay. But how do I write this letter?" Xiaoyanzi looked at Erkang, waiting for his answer.

Erkang put down his pen, looked at everyone and said, "We need to write down the whole story, including the unreasonableness of the courtyard being judged as an illegal building, and the conversation between Concubine Hua and Concubine Li heard by Xiao Dengzi and Xiao Zhuozi. However, don't point out directly that it was the evidence we found. Let the emperor think that someone couldn't stand Concubine Hua's evil deeds and secretly reported it to him."

Ziwei nodded in agreement. "We should also emphasize in the letter that the elderly people in the compound are innocent. Concubine Hua is doing this to target us. This is an abuse of power," Ziwei added.

Just as they were discussing how to write the letter, in the yard outside Shufangzhai, the sun shone on the blooming flowers, and the flowers swayed gently in the wind. A butterfly danced among the flowers, and Xiao Dengzi and Xiao Zhuozi were standing in the yard talking in a low voice.

Little Dengzi frowned and said, "Xiao Zhuozi, do you think that if we do this, will it bring trouble to the princesses? If Concubine Hua knew that we overheard it, she would definitely not let us go." There was a hint of fear in Little Dengzi's eyes, and he rubbed his hands nervously.

Xiao Zhuozi patted Xiao Dengzi on the shoulder and comforted him, "Xiao Dengzi, we are doing this for justice. And the princesses will protect us. Look, the princesses are working so hard for the old people in the compound, we can't back down." Xiao Zhuozi's eyes were firm, he straightened his chest, trying to give Xiao Dengzi some courage.

Back in the room, Xiaoyanzi and others were still discussing the contents of the letter.

Yongqi said: "We can also mention it in the letter. If the emperor does not investigate the matter thoroughly, it may cause public outrage. After all, the old people in the slum are quite popular in the capital, and everyone knows that they are kind people." Yongqi looked at everyone, his expression serious and earnest.

Erkang thought for a while and said, "Yongqi's idea is very good. We can emphasize this point and let the emperor realize the seriousness of the matter." Erkang picked up the pen and added a few more sentences on the paper.

Ziwei suddenly said: "We can also hint in the letter that Concubine Hua may have other conspiracies. This way the emperor will pay more attention to this matter." A glimmer of wisdom flashed in Ziwei's eyes, and she gently fiddled with her hair.

Xiaoyanzi said excitedly: "Ziwei, you are so smart! The emperor will definitely investigate Concubine Hua carefully." A smile appeared on Xiaoyanzi's face, and her eyes were full of anticipation.

Princess Seya said: "After the letter is written, who will deliver it? This is also a very important question." Princess Seya tilted her head and looked at everyone.

Xiaoyanzi thought for a while and said, "Let Xiao Dengzi or Xiao Zhuozi go. They are more familiar with the ways in the palace." Xiaoyanzi looked towards the door, as if Xiao Dengzi and Xiao Zhuozi were right in front of her.

Ziwei objected, "No, Xiao Dengzi and Xiao Zhuozi just went to Concubine Hua's palace to gather information, and their faces may have been remembered by Concubine Hua's people. If we let them go, they will be easily discovered." Ziwei's voice was decisive, and there was a hint of determination in her eyes.

Yongqi said: "Ziwei is right. We should find someone that Concubine Hua doesn't know to deliver the gift." Yongqi supported his chin with his hand, thinking about the right person.

Erkang suddenly said, "I thought of someone, Xiao Shunzi who was beside the Fifth Prince. He was quite clever, and Concubine Hua probably didn't know him." Erkang looked at Yongqi with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Yongqi nodded and said, "Xiao Shunzi is a good candidate. He is very cautious in his work, so I feel more at ease letting him deliver the goods." A satisfied smile appeared on Yongqi's face.

So they called Xiao Shunzi in.

Xiao Shunzi walked into the room, bowed and said, "Fifth Prince, masters, what is the matter that you call me here for?" Xiao Shunzi looked at everyone with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Yongqi said: "Xiao Shunzi, we have an important task for you. You have to deliver this letter to the emperor's study, but it must not be discovered by anyone. Can you do it?" Yongqi picked up the written letter and handed it to Xiao Shunzi.

Xiao Shunzi took the letter and said firmly: "Don't worry, Fifth Prince, I will complete the task." Xiao Shunzi carefully put the letter into his arms with a serious expression.

Xiaoyanzi walked up and said to Xiaoshunzi, "Xiaoshunzi, you must be careful. This letter is very important. If it is discovered by Concubine Hua's people, we will all be in trouble." Xiaoyanzi's eyes were full of worry, and she patted Xiaoshunzi's shoulder gently.

Xiao Shunzi said, "Princess Xiaoyan, rest assured, I will be careful."

After Xiao Shunzi left, Xiao Yanzi and others began to discuss the next plan.

Ziwei said: "We can't just wait for the emperor's reaction after seeing the letter. We also have to make other preparations." Ziwei's voice was steady and her eyes looked at everyone.

Yongqi said, "Ziwei is right. We can spread some stories about the slum in the palace, let more people know what happened to the old people, and arouse everyone's sympathy. In this way, even if Concubine Hua wants to quibble, there will be pressure from public opinion." Yongqi gestured in the air, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.

Erkang nodded and said, "This is a good idea. We can let Mingyue and Caixia do it. They often walk around in the palace and have good relationships with other palace maids and eunuchs." Erkang looked towards the door, as if Mingyue and Caixia were there.

Princess Seya said: "In our Mongolia, when we have to fight against the enemy, we will unite all the forces that can be united. It is a good idea to let Mingyue and Caixia do this." Princess Seya's eyes were firm and she clenched her fists to show her support.

Little Swallow said happily: "Then let's call Mingyue and Caixia in now and tell them what to do." Little Swallow walked to the door impatiently, ready to call Mingyue and Caixia.

After Mingyue and Caixia walked into the room, Xiaoyanzi told them the plan.

Mingyue said, "Don't worry, Princess. We will definitely do a good job on this." There was a hint of excitement in Mingyue's eyes. She felt it was an honor for her to be able to do her part to help the elderly people in the slum.

Caixia also said: "Yes, Princess. We will let everyone in the palace know about this as soon as possible." There was a determination in Caixia's eyes.

On the other side of the palace, Concubine Hua was sitting in the garden of Yikun Palace, enjoying the afternoon sunshine. The flowers around her were in full bloom, and the fragrance of flowers filled the air. Concubine Hua had a smug smile on her face, and she thought her plan was perfect.

Concubine Li came over and sat next to Concubine Hua. "Sister, do you think Xiaoyanzi and the others will find out that we are the ones behind this?" Concubine Li's eyes were filled with worry, and she tugged at her handkerchief anxiously.

Concubine Hua sneered and said, "How could they possibly find out? Even if they did, they have no evidence. Besides, the Emperor trusts me so much, he won't easily believe what they say." Concubine Hua's eyes were full of confidence. She picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea.

Concubine Li still said with some concern: "Sister, it's better to be careful. I always feel that Xiaoyanzi and the others will not be defeated so easily." Concubine Li looked at Concubine Hua, hoping that she could take this issue seriously.

Concubine Hua said impatiently: "You are just worrying too much. You see, up to now, everything is going according to our plan. The slum will be demolished soon, and Xiaoyanzi and the others will lose their credibility in front of the Emperor." Concubine Hua raised a smug smile at the corner of her mouth, as if she had already seen the failure of Xiaoyanzi and the others.

However, what she didn't know was that Xiaoyanzi and others had already found evidence and were implementing a counterattack plan step by step. This struggle in the palace was about to enter a new climax. (Subsequent content will be continuously updated)
