Chapter 197 The Ginger Concubine Has Arrived

tely.Zhang Jin: "Now, my mother is lying in bed and coughing up blood constantly. It seems she doesn't have much time left."Zhang Jin finished speaking, and Xiao showed no desire to continue the topic...Hearing this, Qingxuan suddenly wanted to open her eyes and scare the little princess whose aesthetic taste was a bit off.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from afar again.

Qingxuan was astonished.

Unexpectedly, two more groups of people came to cause her trouble.

To be precise, this little princess wasn't here to cause her trouble.

Not only Qingxuan, but even Nangong Mei heard the footsteps.

Mingxi looked at her master.

Mingxi: "Someone's here, Princess. Let's hide quickly."

Nan Gong Mei remained still.

She is still squatting by the hot spring.

"I cannot leave. The people who have arrived are definitely going to harm my empress. I must stay here and protect her."

Nangong Mei immediately took out a pill bottle from her sleeve and placed it under Qingxuan's nose.

A thick, pungent stench wafted in, causing Qingxuan to suddenly open her eyes.

At this time, Qingxuan saw a girl as delicate as jade sculpture blinking at her with innocent eyes.

Meanwhile, Mingxi, Nán Gōng Mèi's maidservant, took the medicine bottle from Nán Gōng Mèi and placed it under Zhōu Hóngbǐ's nose.

Zhou Hong was pretending to be unconscious. Whether she woke up or not depended entirely on Qing Xuan's instructions.

Zhou Hong didn't move until she heard Qing Xuan's soft cough calling out, "Ah Hong."

Zhou Hong opened her eyes and looked at Nangong Mei and her maidservant in front of her. Before she could speak, she saw Jiang Fei walking into the medicinal hot spring pool with an old woman.

When Ginger entered the hot spring pool, she saw Nan Gong Mei leaning close to Qing Xuan's ear.

Jiang Fei originally came to threaten Qingxuan, but unexpectedly, Nan Gong Mei was also here.

Jiang Fei was startled, then subconsciously frowned.

Nanny Mei saw her face and blinked, asking, "Concubine Jiang, are you here to visit Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess too"

The ginger concubine’s venomous gaze swept across Qingxuan's face.

At this moment, Qing Xuan's gaze towards Jiang Fei was calm and steady, completely unlike the timid and submissive appearance she had when they first met. She no longer just wanted to survive in a lowly manner.

The ginger concubine spoke in a low voice, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess, this palace didn't expect you to have two faces."

Qingsuan: "Your Majesty Empress Jiang, your daughter-in-law doesn't understand what you're saying."

Now Qingxuan is in the palace. Since Empress Jiang wouldn't dare to openly harm her, and there's this little princess present now as well.

Nangong Mei tilted her head, pretending to be confused.

Nan Gong Mei: "Empress Jiang, when you said the Crown Princess has two faces, do you mean she's very gentle in front of Brother Ye and cold to everyone else"

Jiang Fei's eyes swept over Nangong Mei lightly.

Nan Gong Mei is the daughter of Mei Fei, who is now the most favored concubine by the Emperor. To such an extent that the emperor's most beloved child is now Nan Gong Mei.

Even Ginger Concubine wouldn't dare to easily move against Nan Gong Mei.

The Ginger Consort looked at Nangong Mei and asked, "I wonder why our Miss Nangong is here"

Nangong Mei answered matter-of-factly, “Ye Gege got married, this is the first time I see his wife, of course I have to come take a look.”

The ginger concubine stepped forward and gently pinched Nangong Mei's cheek: "It seems our Princess Mei has quite a curious mind."

Just as the imperial concubine withdrew her hand, beside the steaming hot spring pool, the imperial concubine unknowingly opened the mechanism on her ring.

A sliver of silver needle shot out from the ring and pierced Nangong Mei's shoulder.

Nangong Mei could only feel as if something had pricked her shoulder.

But the pain soon disappeared.

Nangong Mei disliked Jiang Fei pinching her face, but she didn't show it.

Nan Gong Mei strained a fake smile and asked Jiang Fei, "And what about Lady Jiang Fei Did you come here out of concern for the Crown Princess, or simply curiosity"

Qingxuan was surprised to find that Concubine Jiang, who had just been cold-faced, now had a loving smile on her face.

“Of course I’m here to see my daughter-in-law. I wanted to make sure she hasn’t been working too hard and hasn’t overworked herself.”

Originally, the former imperial concubine only came to warn Qingxuan not to talk nonsense. But now she suddenly found a way to use Nan Gong Mei to directly get rid of Qingxuan.ened the iron cage for her."On the third floor, in the graceful room named Shaohua, Qingxuan's mocking laughter echoed once more: 'Sure enough, a rabid dog, barking and jumping around. Even locked up...
