C2786 He Summoned the Eighth Prince

Lifei did want to say no, but if she said no, whether it was her or Princess Qi, neither of them would believe that she was in this harem. Even if she was innocent at the beginning and was affected by the surrounding environment... Furthermore, Consort Li's previous status was low. The other concubines looked down on her, including palace maid. The eunuchs did not pay much attention to her. Under such circumstances... How could she not have the thought of turning the tables?1

When the Deceased Emperor had still been around, Consort Li had more or less had such thoughts. She also dreamed of one day becoming the head of the six palaces and taking charge of the harem. When the Empress had such thoughts, it was understandable. Which concubine would not have thought about it? For example, soldiers who did not want to be generals were not good soldiers.

However, Consort Li also understood in her heart that the previous emperor's favorite concubine had always been Consort Wu. Thus, she knew that the position of the Empress belonged to Consort Wu, so she could only think about it.

However, the development of the matter later on exceeded her expectations. Or rather, it was out of everyone's expectations that the late emperor actually died. Imperial Concubine Wu did not become the empress, but instead became the empress dowager. Imperial Concubine Li, who had always had a bad relationship with Imperial Concubine Wu, had a high position in the Imperial Palace. It was also a sudden turn of events. If it was not that Consort Wu was not in the mood to deal with her... Her days might be even more difficult.

Just as Consort Li was worried about her future, Princess Qi suddenly returned. After that, she even destroyed the Wu family father and daughter with a thunderous momentum. After eradicating the Wu family, Consort Li instantly heaved a sigh of relief. At least, her life would not be any more miserable than before.

After she heaved a sigh of relief, Li Fei's thoughts also moved. Consort Wu was dead, and the new emperor was Consort Wu's son. If Princess Qi did not want to be avenged by the Emperor in the future, she would definitely abolish the new Emperor. The news that came later also confirmed that my Imperial Concubine Li's guess is correct. Princess Qi indeed had such an idea.

This way, the position of the Emperor and Empress Dowager would be vacant. As the Imperial Concubine who had a good relationship with Princess Qi, she had a thought at this time. That was normal, but she didn't want to rashly look for Princess Qi. In order to avoid making Princess Qi unhappy, it would cause trouble instead.

And now, Princess Qi straightforwardly asked if she had such thoughts. Imperial Concubine Li, who knew Princess Qi very well, finally decided to tell the truth. Because if she said that she did not have such thoughts, Princess Qi should be able to tell that she was lying. If that was the case, she would not have a good impression of her.

Consort Li's guess was right. After hearing Consort Li say that she also had such thoughts, Princess Qi did not reveal a surprised or angry expression. Her expression did not change at all. Clearly, Consort Li's words were already within her expectations.

Consort Li also secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She knew that what she did was right. If she had said that she did not have it, Princess Qi might have already stood up and left. She would not have any more chances.

"Big Sister will not hide it from you." Seeing that Princess Qi was not angry, Imperial Concubine Li continued, "As the Imperial Concubine of the previous Emperor, who would not have any thoughts about that position in this harem? Big Sister is also a layman, so naturally she would have such thoughts. Furthermore, I also want to find a good future for my son. Younger sister won't look down on older sister, right?"

"No." Princess Qi shook her head and said," I also grew up in this harem, so naturally I know. In this harem, people who are too simple can't live on. Everyone wants to climb over other people's heads, regardless of whether it is voluntary or not. And those who are passive want to live a better life in this harem. They need to be subtle and have some desire. "

Princess Qi could really understand Consort Li's thoughts and was not surprised by her words. In this harem, who did not want to climb to the highest position? Only by being like that could one live a better and safer life.

"It's good that Younger Sister understands." Consort Li smiled and said, "I won't hide it from Younger Sister. Before this, I also wanted to visit Younger Sister but before I could go, Younger Sister came first."

Princess Qi smiled and did not answer Consort Li's words. Instead, she asked back, "Where is Yun'er? It has been a long time since I last saw him. I do miss him."

The Yun'er that Princess Qi mentioned was the son of Imperial Concubine Li and also the Eighth Prince of Great Lu Dynasty. He was already 18 years old this year. In this era, there were many people who married when they were 12 or 13 years old. Therefore, the age of 18 was not considered young.

"Yun'er is in his mansion. Little sister knows about it. If there is nothing special, the princes cannot enter the palace as they wish." Consort Li said, "If little sister wants to see Yun'er, I will get someone to call him over."

Princess Qi nodded her head. Imperial Concubine Li did not dare to be neglectful and quickly sent someone to call her son into the Palace. However, her heart became increasingly fiery.

After that, Princess Qi and Consort Li started to chat. It was Consort Li who was accompanying Princess Qi. They were also not talking about the matters in the Palace but about Princess Qi's matters after she came out of seclusion.

On the other side, the eunuch beside Consort Li received the order from Consort Li. He quickly left the Palace to find Imperial Concubine Li's son to enter the Palace. To be able to be a eunuch in the Palace... Especially those who were still serving as eunuchs by the concubines' side, it was impossible to be brainless. The brain must be flexible. At this special moment... Princess Qi suddenly wanted to see the Eighth Prince. This was obviously not the case. Imperial Concubine Li could see it and was very excited. This eunuch could also see it.

"Quick, quick, go to the Eighth Prince's mansion immediately!" After the eunuch left the palace, he immediately sat on the carriage and continuously urged the coachman to speed up.

"Hurry, we didn't eat, hurry up!" Even though the carriage was already very fast, the eunuch still felt that it was slow and kept urging.

Fortunately, the Eighth Prince's residence wasn't far from the Imperial Palace, and the eunuch quickly arrived at the Eighth Prince's residence.

"Quickly bring me to see the Eighth Prince!" After the eunuch arrived at the eighth prince's residence, he immediately said to the guards at the door.

This eunuch was the personal eunuch of Imperial Concubine Li, and he often came to the Eighth Prince's residence, so the guards here all knew him. Seeing that he was in such a hurry, they did not dare to delay and hurriedly brought him to see the Eighth Prince.

At this moment, the eighth prince was reading in his own residence. Recently, the situation inside and outside the Imperial Palace had changed, and the Eighth Prince had actually run to the Imperial Palace quite a few times. In fact, other than him, the other princes were also doing the same thing. Everyone was staring at that position.

However, not many people were optimistic about the Eighth Prince's ascension. That included the Eighth Prince himself, because Li Fei's status in the Palace was too low. Furthermore, even if they were ranked according to age, it wouldn't be the Eighth Prince's turn. It could be said that in all aspects, the Eighth Prince didn't have much hope. The only hope was that the relationship between Concubine Li and Princess Qi was that small.

However, no one knew how useful that relationship could be in the face of such a big matter.
