Rebirth of the Princess Pearl

In the early morning of the imperial palace, the sun shines on the golden glazed tiles, reflecting a dazzling light. Xiaoyanzi and others are in Shufangzhai, feeling nervous and expectant, waiting for the result of Xiaoshunzi's anonymous letter.

Xiaoyanzi was fidgeting in the room. She stood up and walked to the window, looking out at the yard through the cracks in the window, then sat back on the chair, rubbing the corners of her clothes with her hands. "Yongqi, did Xiaoshunzi deliver the letter to the emperor? Has the emperor seen the letter?" Xiaoyanzi frowned, her eyes full of worry.

Yongqi stood aside, looking out the window, his hand gently resting on the window frame. "Xiaoyanzi, don't be too anxious. Xiaoshunzi is very smart, he should have delivered the letter. Now we can only wait patiently for the emperor's response." Yongqi's voice was steady, trying to comfort Xiaoyanzi.

Ziwei was sitting at the table, holding a collection of poems, but she had no intention of reading. "Yongqi is right. It's useless for us to be anxious now. However, we must also make all kinds of preparations in case Concubine Hua notices something and attacks us first." Ziwei sighed softly and put the collection of poems aside.

Erkang paced back and forth in the room, his steps steady and rhythmic. "We have to consider the actions that Concubine Hua might take. Once she finds out someone is investigating her, she might destroy the evidence or try to frame us." Erkang's expression was serious, and his hand unconsciously rested on the hilt of the sword.

Princess Seya crossed her arms and looked determined. "In Mongolia, if we face such a situation, we will strengthen our defenses and take the initiative. We can't just wait for Concubine Hua to attack us." Princess Seya's eyes were determined.

Xiaoyanzi's eyes lit up, she jumped up and said, "Princess Seya is right! We can first create some public opinion in the palace and get more people to stand on our side. That way, even if Concubine Hua wants to frame us, there will be many people who will speak for us." Xiaoyanzi waved her arms excitedly.

Ziwei nodded in agreement. "We can ask Xiao Dengzi and Xiao Zhuozi to collect some touching stories about the old people in the compound, and then spread them among the palace maids and eunuchs. These stories can help everyone better understand how kind and innocent the old people in the compound are, and thus make them dissatisfied with Concubine Hua's behavior." Ziwei's voice was gentle and firm.

When Xiao Dengzi and Xiao Zhuozi heard their names, they hurried forward. Xiao Dengzi said respectfully, "Princess, we will do our best. However, we are worried that Concubine Hua will stop us from doing so." Xiao Dengzi's eyes were filled with worry, and his body leaned forward slightly.

Xiao Zhuozi also echoed, "Yes, princess. Concubine Hua has great power in the palace. If she knew what we were doing, she would definitely find a way to deal with us." Xiao Zhuozi looked at Xiao Yanzi, seeking her instructions.

Yongqi walked up to Xiao Dengzi and Xiao Zhuozi and patted them on the shoulders. "Don't worry, just be careful. If you encounter any danger, come back and tell us immediately. We will protect you." Yongqi's eyes were full of trust and encouragement.

After hearing what Yongqi said, Xiao Dengzi and Xiao Zhuozi were immediately full of confidence. They said in unison: "Yes, Fifth Prince, we will do it right away." After that, the two of them retreated.

In Yikun Palace, Concubine Hua was sitting in the garden leisurely admiring the flowers. The flowers around her were colorful and gorgeous, with butterflies flying and bees buzzing among the flowers. Concubine Hua had a faint smile on her face, and she seemed to be still immersed in the joy of her conspiracy succeeding.

Concubine Li came hurriedly, with a trace of anxiety on her face. "Sister, it's not good. I just heard some rumors that Xiaoyanzi and the others seem to be collecting information about the compound and are planning to spread the news in the palace." Concubine Li walked to Concubine Hua and whispered.

Concubine Hua frowned, with a hint of displeasure in her eyes. "They are really restless. But do they think they can overthrow me like this? They are so naive." Concubine Hua's voice was filled with contempt.

Concubine Li said with some concern: "Sister, we can't underestimate them. If they really get everyone in the palace to stand on their side, it will be disadvantageous to us." Concubine Li looked at Concubine Hua, hoping that she could take this issue seriously.

Concubine Hua sneered and said, "Hmph, I won't let them succeed. You go and arrange some of our people to spread rumors among the palace maids and eunuchs, saying that Xiaoyanzi and the others deliberately made up the incident in the slum to frame me." Concubine Hua's eyes became cold and her hand gently stroked the flowers around her.

Concubine Li hesitated for a moment and said, "Sister, wouldn't it be too obvious to do this? If the emperor finds out, we'll be in trouble." Concubine Li's voice trembled a little, and her hands tugged at the corner of her clothes nervously.

Concubine Hua said impatiently: "Why are you so timid? As long as we do it cleverly, how will the emperor find out? Just do as I say." There was an unquestionable majesty in Concubine Hua's eyes.

Concubine Li had no choice but to nod and say, "Yes, sister. I'll arrange it right away." After that, she hurried away.

Back at Shufangzhai, Xiaoyanzi and others were still actively preparing a counterattack plan.

Mingyue and Caixia walked in. Mingyue said with a smile, "Princess, we have spread some stories about the slum in the palace as you instructed. Many palace maids and eunuchs expressed sympathy for the old people's plight." There was a hint of excitement in Mingyue's eyes, and she was happy with her achievements.

Little Swallow jumped up with joy. "Great! Mingyue, Caixia, you did a great job. However, we still need to work harder to let more people know about this." Little Swallow's face was filled with a joyful smile.

Ziwei also smiled and said, "Mingyue, Caixia, have you heard anything about Concubine Hua's reaction?" There was a hint of curiosity in Ziwei's eyes, she wanted to know whether Concubine Hua had noticed anything.

Caixia shook her head and said, "Not yet, princess. But we will continue to pay attention." Caixia's voice was crisp and her eyes were bright and lively.

At this moment, Xiao Shunzi rushed in. With a hint of excitement on his face, he saluted and said, "Fifth Prince, my lords, the emperor has seen the letter. I saw that after the emperor finished reading the letter, his face became very serious and he immediately called the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Xiao Shunzi's eyes were shining with excitement, and he was proud of himself for successfully completing the task.

Xiaoyanzi and the others were immediately excited when they heard this. Xiaoyanzi said excitedly: "Great! The emperor finally knows about this. Did the emperor say how to deal with it?" Xiaoyanzi's eyes were fixed on Xiaoshunzi, and she couldn't wait to know more news.

Xiao Shunzi shook his head and said, "I don't know. The emperor only called the officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and didn't say anything else. However, I think the emperor will definitely investigate this matter." Xiao Shunzi's voice was steady, and he tried his best to tell Xiao Yanzi and others all the information he knew.

Yongqi pondered for a moment and said, "No matter how the emperor handles it, we must continue with our plan. Now Concubine Hua may have noticed our actions, so we must be more careful." Yongqi's eyes became deeper, and he realized that this struggle was about to enter a more intense stage.

Erkang nodded and said, "Yongqi is right. We can let Xiao Dengzi and Xiao Zhuozi speed up the collection of stories about the slum. At the same time, Mingyue and Caixia should continue to spread the news in the palace. We must make public opinion in the palace tend to be on our side." Erkang's expression was serious, and his hand unconsciously rested on the hilt of the sword.

Princess Seya said: "In our Mongolia, when we face a powerful enemy, we will unite more closely. We should do the same now. If we all work together, we will surely defeat Concubine Hua's conspiracy." Princess Seya's eyes were firm and she clenched her fists to cheer everyone up.

Little Swallow said enthusiastically: "Okay! Let's take action now."

So, everyone in Shufangzhai started to get busy again, everyone worked hard to expose the conspiracy of Concubine Hua and protect the old people in the compound. On the other side of the palace, Concubine Hua and Concubine Li were also stepping up their deployment, and a fierce court struggle was about to begin.
