Chapter 216: The Emperor Wants to Smooth Things Over

an Shui Ying's determined eyes. These eyes were brighter and more dazzling than the sun outside the window.Qingxuan: “Since heaven has allowed your body to recover, we will definitely save them all.”...Qingxuan and Mei Fei care about each other's feelings, not the formalities.

The two women became sworn sisters without any ceremony. They simply changed the tea they were about to offer each other as a gesture of gratitude into sisterhood oath tea.

They clinked glasses and finished their drink in one go. 。

Qingxuan: "Sister Qu, from now on we shall be sisters of different surnames! If sister encounters difficulties in the palace, please don't hesitate to trouble your younger sister, and please don't despise me for being just an insignificant Chen princess right now..."

Perhaps the younger sister can help her elder sister alleviate her worries and difficulties in her own way. 。"To have a capable, intelligent woman like Qingxuan as her younger sister, who is also skilled in medicine, Mei'er wouldn't have to worry about any illness or ailment in the future." 。Meifei was so happy she couldn't even bring herself to dislike Qingxuan anymore. 。"What did your sister say" 。Now we are sisters, of course, family doesn't speak formally. 。If my younger sister is in trouble, be sure to tell me. 。As a elder sister, I will certainly help my younger sister overcome any difficulties. 。

Mei Fei's words were also sincere.

Qingsuan smiled and agreed.

Qingxuan: “Qǔjie, since you've said so much...

Actually, I still have one thing unclear and want to ask Sister Qu. 。Mei Fei: "Younger sister, speak freely." 。"Qingxuan: "Sister Qu, do you know if Princess Zhaoyang had any past conflicts with Nangong Ye" 。As the most favored concubine in the palace, Mei Fei was naturally very aware of the goings-on within the palace walls. 。When Qingxuan was treating Chen Lingyue, she was made difficult by Xu Shiru and then encountered an assassination attempt. Of course, she knew... 。Mei Fei: "Little sister, if Mei'er hadn't been poisoned, when you saw the Emperor, you would have definitely inquired about the assassin and challenged Xu Shirui." 。“Qingxuan: “Sister Qu is right” 。I have never met Xu Shirui, but she wants to kill me. 。I, Qingxuan, follow the principle of "do not provoke me and I will not provoke you." Since she seeks to kill me, I naturally will not let her off easily. 。Mei Fei looked at Qing Xuan and pursed her lips. 。Mei Fei: "This morning, I heard that the assassin who was imprisoned in the dungeon died." 。Qingxuan was astonished: "Died suddenly"

Meifei: "That's right" 。

Sherry Shih is a member of the empress's entourage.

Although I have been the Emperor's favorite these past years, within this palace, true power lies with the Empress. 。For a queen, it wouldn't be difficult to cause an assassin imprisoned in the dungeon to die. 。As for your question about whether Xu Shirui and Nangong Ye have a past... 。I can only say that Xu Shirui's conflict is not with Nangong Ye, but... with you. 。Mei Fei's words made Qing Xuan even more puzzled. 。Qingxuan: "Have we had a falling out Yet, I've never had a disagreement with the Crown Prince"Meifei: "En..." 。May Fei fell into reminiscence. 。May Fei: "I remember it was on Xu Shirui's coming-of-age ceremony..." 。The Empress held a coming-of-age ceremony for Xu Shiru in the palace. At that time, the Crown Prince had just returned to the palace after winning a battle. 。That day, I was in the imperial garden to collect ice crystals from red plum blossoms to brew a cup of cold plum tea for the emperor. 。Unexpectedly, I stumbled upon Xu Shirui handing a sachet to the Crown Prince. 。According to Chen Guo's customs, if a woman gives a sachet she made to a man upon reaching adulthood, it means she has a crush on him. 。If the sachet was made by someone under the other party's command, it means they will propose to you in the future. 。Everything seemed both unexpected and expected, all within Qingxuan's prediction. 。Qingxuan: "Qiu Jie, so now that Xu Shirui sees that Chen Wang is not dead and instead loves me, she holds a grudge against me." 。Because of her love for the Crown Prince, she wants to kill me. 。"You're right," Mei Fei nodded. 。Unfortunately, even if you knew the reason now, with the Queen protecting Xu Shirui, even if Xu Shirui wanted to harm you... 。The Emperor would also choose to turn a blind eye and let this matter pass. 。"However, Qingxuan remained firm: "That's not necessarily true." 。If the Emperor had not asked me for anything, this matter might have been dropped. 。But now it's different. 。"When Mei Fei heard this, she was astonished: “Sister, are you saying the Emperor has asked a favor of you” eaten a bear's heart and a leopard's gall!"A lowly shop assistant like you dares to shout at herDisgusted by this pathetic, blood-covered little insect, Ling Ro raised his hand to strike the shopkeep...
