"I feel that she bears some resemblance to Zhang Shunyuan?" Han Yiqing frowned, pondering, "I truly struggle to understand her."
Shui Yun thought for a moment and said, "Concubine, there's something I find strange."
"Hmm?"
"The edict announcing Lady Jin Fei's elevation mentioned her merit in rescuing the Emperor. Yet, she hasn't shown herself in the palace for many days, only today the news broke about her recovering from injuries in Yangxin Hall, and Lady Jin Fei took the opportunity to return to Yao Hua Palace.
What puzzles me is how Lady Jin Fei got injured?
Where did the Emperor's assassination attempt take place?"
"I received no news of the Emperor leaving the palace. An assassination attempt is a major incident; surely the Empress Dowager has made detailed inquiries. Since she hasn't said anything further, you should keep your lips sealed."
Rumors about this event might circulate in the palace, but they must not originate from Zilan Pavilion.
