Chapter 609 The Legend of Zhen Huan An Lingrong 66

She curled up in the corner, shivering like an abandoned little animal.

A few rats were around her, gnawing on the leftovers that had fallen on the ground, making disgusting chewing sounds.

Yixiu didn't care at all and let them run around her. All she could think about now was how to overthrow An Lingrong and take back everything that belonged to her.

Yixiu's hands were trembling, and she was grinding the ink laboriously with her frozen fingers.

The ink in the cold palace had not been used for who knows how long, and it was as thick as a pool of stagnant water. She dipped the tip of the pen and began to write crookedly on the rough paper.

The handwriting was illegible, just like her mood at the moment, a mess.

In the letter, Yixiu exaggerated how An Lingrong was favored and how arrogant she was, in order to stimulate Hua Fei's jealousy. Her every word was like a poisoned dagger, stabbing Hua Fei's most vulnerable part, infinitely magnifying her hatred and unwillingness.

She believed that with Hua Fei's character, she would never swallow this.

After writing, Yixiu looked at the letter with a cold smile on her lips. There was not a single true word in the letter, and every word was full of daggers. She just wanted to irritate Concubine Hua and make her fight An Lingrong to the death.

Yixiu fished out the only remaining silver coins from a tattered purse and stuffed them into the pocket of the young eunuch who came to deliver the meal.

"Please, eunuch, deliver this letter to Concubine Hua."

The young eunuch weighed the purse and a flattering smile filled his face.

"Don't worry, Madam Empress, I will definitely get it done."

Hua Fei's bedroom was filled with rich fragrance, and the luxurious furnishings demonstrated the dignity of the owner.

The young eunuch tremblingly presented the letter to Concubine Hua, feeling extremely nervous, fearing that this empress, who had once been domineering and still was imposing, would take revenge on him if she became unhappy.

Concubine Hua glanced at him sideways, with disdain in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. She picked up the envelope nonchalantly with her slender jade fingers painted with nail polish, and threw it into the incense burner without even looking at it.

"Empress, this..." The little eunuch shuddered with fear.

Hua Fei smiled contemptuously: "Why should I read what she wrote? It's nothing but some crying, complaining nonsense. Is it worth my bothering?"

She gracefully picked up the teacup and took a sip, leaving scarlet lip marks on the rim of the cup, like a blooming poppy, enchanting and dangerous.

"Your Majesty is wise." The young eunuch immediately apologized with a smile, but secretly complained in his heart that Empress Hua was still as arrogant and domineering as ever. Even though she had lost her power, she still maintained a condescending attitude.

Hua Fei glared at him, her eyes sharp as a knife: "Why, do you have anything else to say?"

The young eunuch was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground, "I dare not!"

Concubine Hua snorted and waved her hand, signaling him to leave.

After the young eunuch left, a hint of sarcasm flashed across Hua Fei's delicate eyebrows.

Yixiu, do you think you can sow discord between me and me like this? I have no interest in competing for favor and love at the moment.

She called her personal maid Songzhi and said, "Go, get the ruby ​​headpiece from the storeroom. I want to wear it today."

Song Zhi hesitated for a moment and advised carefully: "Madam, this headdress is too expensive. Will it be..."

"What could possibly happen? I'm spending my own money, so who is bothered by that?" Concubine Hua interrupted her impatiently.

"Go, take out the piece of brocade that Jiangnan Weaving Factory sent a few days ago, and make me a new dress."

Songzhi didn't dare to persuade him anymore and had to do as he was told.

Hua Fei leaned on the couch, her slender jade fingers tapping the tabletop one by one, making crisp sounds. She thought of her glory when she was favored by the emperor, but now she is so deserted that she couldn't help but sigh.

But on second thought, without the emperor's favor, she would be free and at ease. She would no longer have to rack her brains to win favor, nor would she have to worry about saying something wrong and displeasing the emperor.

Now, she just wants to enjoy this life of luxury and spend all the money she didn't spend before.

"Your Majesty, these are the headwear and brocade you requested." Songzhi presented the things.

Hua Fei picked up the ruby ​​headpiece and looked at it carefully in the mirror. The rubies on this headpiece were crystal clear, shining brightly in the sun, making her look even more beautiful.

"Go, bring me all my rouge and powder. I want to dress up nicely."

Songzhi looked at Concubine Hua's high spirits and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The Queen was finally no longer as depressed as she had been a while ago.

Hua Fei carefully drew her eyebrows and eyes in front of the mirror, and put on makeup. Her every frown, smile, and gesture were full of lazy charm, just like a blooming peony, gorgeous and unparalleled.

After finishing dressing, Concubine Hua admired herself in the mirror with satisfaction. She stood up and paced back and forth in the bedroom, her skirt swaying like a dancing butterfly.

A month is enough time for the warm spring sun to melt the remaining snow, and it is also enough time for undercurrents to surge in the harem and give rise to new schemes.

Yixiu originally thought that when Concubine Hua received the "secret letter" she sent, she would be unable to hold back and go looking for trouble with An Lingrong. At that time, she would only need to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and she would be able to benefit from it.

But a month had passed, and there was no movement from Concubine Hua, as if nothing had happened. How could she not be anxious? Could it be that Concubine Hua had changed her personality?

Or... did she not receive the letter at all?

The dilapidated scene of the cold palace formed a sharp contrast with the splendor in Yixiu's memory. The damp air was filled with the smell of mold, and rats were squeaking in the corners. The queen, who once lived in luxury, could only wear coarse linen clothes and fill her stomach with leftovers every day.

This huge gap made Yixiu almost crazy. She could not accept the reality that she had fallen from the high and mighty queen to a prisoner.

"I am the queen! I have the final say in this harem!" Yixiu screamed at the empty cold palace, her voice was sharp and piercing, but no one responded. She sat on the ground dejectedly, her body covered with dust and stains, just like her mood at the moment, miserable.

A month had passed, and there was no movement from Concubine Hua. Yixiu felt like she was being scratched by a cat's claws, and she was restless. The drama she had imagined, "While the snipe and the clam quarrel, the fisherman benefits", did not happen at all. Could it be that something went wrong with the plan? The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became. No, she had to do something.

“Someone! Someone!” Yixiu knocked on the worn wooden door, her voice hoarse, “I want to see the emperor! I have something important to report to the emperor!”

However, the only response she got was the mocking voice of the guards outside the cold palace: "Hey, isn't this the deposed empress? Still want to see the emperor? Forget it, the emperor is busy with all kinds of affairs, how can he have time to pay attention to you?"
