The Rising Phoenix-Chapter 614: Royal Palace Is A Battlefield For Women

Because of that, the emperor started to visit her again. Thanks to that, she began pregnant again. Others became jealous again. During this second pregnancy, she faced death three times. They could not catch the culprit for the first and second attempts. Only on the third attempt did they manage to catch the culprit.

One, when the bowl of soup that she was supposed to drink had been tested by the poison tester, the poison tester coughed the blood and died instantly. Second, it was her favourite cake. She told the kitchen that she wanted to eat almond cake. The cake had been sent to her. As she was about to eat the cake, the bird flew over and ate some of them. At the next moment, the bird fell to the ground, unmoving.

She threw the cake on her cake and called for the pharmacist to check the cake. It was confirmed that the cake was poisoned. Then, the third time happened when she was 8 months pregnant, she received a pair of gloves from a concubine that she was close to. They entered the palace at the same time. They became friends.

She was happy and wanted to wear it. However, a maid accidentally dropped them. Everyone suddenly heard the weird sound when the gloves fell down. It was like something broke inside the gloves. They looked at each other.

She was scared. She told the maid to call someone to check the gloves. Turned out, the gloves were indeed poisoned. If she put on the gloves, the poison on the gloves would be in her hand. So, when she ate the food, the poison on her hand would be transferred into her mouth.

She went to ask the concubine about this. The concubine glared at her and told her that she should be dead. When she asked the concubine about the reason she did that, the concubine told her that she hated her and wanted her to die. The concubine was jealous watching her being pampered by the emperor whereas the emperor only visited the concubine once and did not receive the grace from the emperor anymore.

Yes, the royal palace was not a glamorous place that people always thought. It was a battlefield. For women to survive in the harem, they needed to be strong and know how to protect themselves. Otherwise, they would end up dead.

Noble Consort Guipin became interested in Bai Xifeng. If only Bai Xifeng could be her daughter-in-law, it would be great. But she only had one son who was younger than Bai Xifeng. Not to mention, Bai Xifeng was stronger than her son.

Bai Xifeng, who had been pulled by Su Zhilan and Wan Qiaolian, arrived at the banquet hall. Earlier, the situation was quite tense.

"We are going to be seated with our family. See you later." Wan Qiaolian said and went to her family when she spotted them.

Su Zhilan and Bai Xifeng nodded. They also looked around searching for their families. Bai Xifeng found her father and brother. They were seated closer to the royal family seat.

"I am going to my family, bye." Bai Xifeng said.

Su Zhilan nodded. She also found her family. She sat behind her brother. When she sat down, her brother asked her something.

"Are you close to Young Lady Bai?" Su Jan Ying asked.

"Well, we became friends at the last banquet that she attended." Su Zhilan did not hide that.

"How is she?" Su Jan Ying asked.

"What do you mean by that question?" Su Zhilan raised her eyebrow in confusion.

"About her character?" Su Jan Ying asked.

Su Zhilan thought for a moment and spoke. "She is spicy. If you dare disturb her, be ready to get a bloody ear. You will feel insulted without her swearing."

Su Jan Ying was stunned when he heard the explanation from his sister about Bai Xifeng.

"What are you asking about Xifeng?" Su Zhilan asked back.

Su Jan Ying leaned over and whispered into Su Zhilan’s ear. "I heard the rumor that His Majesty wants to break off the engagment between Young Lady Bai and the third prince. Then, he wants to make Young Lady Bai became the crown prince’s fiance again."

"What?" Su Zhilan was surprised.

"Lower your tone, Zhilan." Su Jan Ying put his finger on his lips.

"I am sorry. I am just too shocked." Su Zhilan said. "What is the His Majesty thinking right now?"

"Who knows? Let’s wait for the announcement." Su Jan Ying said.

Su Zhilan looked at Bai Xifeng’s direction. Bai Xifeng was talking to her brother while her father put some cakes in front of Bai Xifeng.

"Xixi, try this." Bai Xiang said.

Bai Xifeng touched the cake and felt it was delicious.

"I will ask the chef who make it, teach me to make it." Bai Xiang said.

General Bai family’s atmosphere was good. It was different from Bai Family’s. They had a gloomy expression on their faces.

Han Yunru was still angry about her confrontation with Bai Xifeng. That little B*tch really had grown up. She dared to insult her and her daughters. She was glaring at Bai Xifeng.

Bai Chunhua also gritted her teeth when she glared at Bai Xifeng. Bai Xifeng called her a mistress. The crown prince belonged to her. The mistress one was Bai Xifeng who occupied her place as the future crown princess.
