Chapter 794

  The next day, news of Jingfei's sudden death spread throughout the harem.

   One stone stirred up a thousand waves.

  Everyone can't believe this is true.

  Jing Concubine usually looks in good health and rarely gets sick. How could she suddenly disappear? This must be a rumor.

  Until the emperor made an order that Concubine Jing fell into the water accidentally last night, and then died suddenly due to an emergency.

  Everyone believed that the concubine Jing, who always seemed to be gentle and generous on weekdays, was indeed gone.

  It is reasonable to say that a concubine like a concubine will be chased after death, but the emperor did not intend to chase the concubine Jing. Even the funeral of the concubine Jing is simple, and there is no glory that a second-grade concubine should have.

  Such an ending can only be described in the word desolate.

  Splendid Palace.

  Li Concubine was drinking tea and eating melon seeds, and the little palace lady knelt next to her and beat her leg.

  Yao Jieyu hurried in, saluting first, and then excitedly.

   "The concubine inquired about it. Concubine Jing suddenly fell into the water last night and heard that she committed suicide."

  Li Fei waved her hand.

  The little palace lady stopped, got up and walked out silently.

  Li Fei motioned Yao Jieyu to sit down and speak slowly.

  Yao Jieyu sat on the empty seat next to Concubine Li, her cheeks flushed with excitement.

  She said in a tone of excitement peculiar to melon-eating people.

   "I heard that Yingfu Palace was lively last night. First, the concubine Jing fell into the water, then the emperor and noble concubines rushed over, and then all the court ladies and eunuchs of the entire Yingfu Palace were sent to the Department of Sentences."

  Li Fei's action of nibbling melon seeds: "All were sent to the Department of Sentencing?"

  Yao Jieyu nodded vigorously: "Yes, there are more than forty people, not one of them, all were sent in, so far no one has come out, and I don’t know how many of these people will survive in the end."

  Thinking of Shen Xing Division's wicked name, Yao Jieyu felt a little frustrated.

  Li Fei thoughtfully: "If the emperor is because of Jing Fei's fall into the water, he wants to punish the people in Yingfu Palace, and there is no need to send everyone to the Shen Xing Department."

   Although the current emperor is a little colder, he is not a bloodthirsty tyrant.

  What's more, the emperor didn't have much love for Jingfei, so he wouldn't be angry at the entire Yingfu Palace for the sake of one Jingfei.

  There must be something else in this.

  Yao Jieyu said distressedly: "The concubine also thinks this matter is strange, but the people in Yingfu Palace are all in the Shen Xing Department, and outsiders can't hear the inside story."

  The most painful thing for people who eat melons is that they can only eat half of them.

  She really wants to know what the truth is!

  Li Fei: "Except for those in the Shen Xing Department, only the emperor and the imperial concubine know the inside story of this matter."

  Yao Jieyu's eyes lit up: "Why don't we go to visit the imperial concubine?"

  Li Fei hesitated: "Also."

  She originally had no liking for the imperial concubine, but after a period of observation, she found that the imperial concubine was not only somewhat similar to Concubine Xiao’s appearance, but also quite similar in words and deeds.

  Every time she gets along with the imperial concubine, Concubine Li has a strange sense of familiarity.

  So that Concubine Li's sense of rejection of her is reduced a bit, and then a sense of curiosity arises.

  If it’s just a similar appearance, it can be said to be a coincidence.

  If even the personality is similar, it is definitely not just a coincidence.

  Before going out, Concubine Li asked Su Mei to take down the small wooden box placed on the Bogu shelf.

  Yao Jieyu asked in surprise when she saw the wooden box.

   "What did you do with it?"

  Li Fei opened the wooden box, which was a set of cards.

  This was given to her by Concubine Xiao Fang, and she occasionally took it out for fun. Because it was well protected, it looked like a new one.

  Li Fei glanced at the cards, then closed the box.

  She said: "We must have a reason to meet the imperial concubine. It happened that we haven't played cards for a long time, and the two of us plus the imperial concubine can make a landlord."

  Yao Jieyu didn't think much about it, and praised it sincerely.

   "I'm still thinking about the empress."

  When Concubine Li and Yao Jieyu came to Yunxiu Palace, they realized that someone had come one step ahead of them.

  Min Jieyu stood up and blessed Concubine Li.

   "The concubine sends greetings to Concubine Li."

  Li Fei looked at her up and down: "Why are you here?"

  Minjieyu: "The concubine is here to greet the concubine and empress."

  Li Fei heard that allergic Jieyu came to greet the concubine every day, rain or shine, but she did not expect it to be true.

  Li Fei smiled but did not smile: "You are diligent, and those who celebrate the New Year will never forget to come to the noble concubine to greet her."

  Minjieyu: "The empress is absurdly praised, it's all the concubine should do."

  Baoqin offered refreshments to Concubine Li and Yao Jieyu, respectfully and authentically.

   "The imperial concubine lady is still dressing up, she will be out soon, please wait for the lady."

  Li Concubine glanced at the sky outside, and asked in amazement: "It's all this time, the imperial concubine hasn't gotten up yet?"

   Baoqin calmly said: "It has been cold recently, and the imperial concubine woke up a little bit late."

  Li Concubine twitched.

  It’s been three poles in the day, is it just a little late?

  The three of them waited about a cup of tea, and the imperial concubine finally walked in with the hand money of the palace lady.

  The three of them stood up to bow.

   "Please greet the imperial concubine and empress."

  Xiao Xixi sat on the head and motioned for them to sit.

   "What day is it today? Why did the three of you come together?"

  Li Fei: "I came here with Yao Jieyu, but I just happened to ran into Min Jieyu here."

  Minjieyu: "The concubine is here to greet the concubine and empress."

  Xiao Xixi is still very sleepy, she asks with strong spirits: "Anything else besides Please An? If not, just go away."

  Because of Jingfei's affairs last night, she had to get up in the middle of the night and did not fall asleep again until the dawn, and she hadn't woken up at all.

  She is really sleepy!

  Li Fei smiled and said: "My concubine has been staying in Yingfu Palace every day recently. I was so bored that I wanted to come and talk to the concubine empress and play cards by the way."

  Hearing the word playing cards, Xiao Xixi's sleepiness disappeared a bit.

  She looked at Concubine Li and asked pretendingly curiously.

   "What card to play?"

  Li Fei took the wooden box from Su Mei, opened it, and neatly placed a stack of cards inside.

  Xiao Xixi recognized at a glance, this was the playing card she gave to Li Fangfei and Yao Jieyu.

  Unexpectedly, Li Fei would still keep it.

  Li Concubine has been observing the changes of the noble concubine's expression, keenly aware that she seems a little surprised, and she still misses a little.

  Xiao Xixi picked up a card casually and said with a smile.

   "My house has seen this kind of cards in Nanyue before, but I didn't expect you to have this kind of gameplay in Dasheng."

  Li Fei's eyes flashed: "Nan Yue also has this kind of card?"

  Xiao Xixi started talking nonsense seriously.

   "Yes, but Nanyue can't make such excellent paper. In Nanyue, dry bark or leaves are usually used to make cards, so Nanyue people call it a leaf card."

  Li Concubine listened to her so pretentiously that she couldn't help but truly believe her nonsense, and said with a smile.

   "It turns out that this kind of card has been in Nanyue as early as Nanyue. Concubine thought you hadn't played before, so I came here to offer you treasures. It seems that my concubine is sitting in the well and watching the sky."
