Concubine Xiao Xia curled a thin smile, her eyes staring at the pavilion that was occupied by concubine Feng Ling while occasionally showing a different look on her face. She was indeed the type of woman who was quiet, even when committing a crime she was always secretly.
His nature was very much different from the concubine Feng Ling who sometimes often roared by herself, even the servants who worked under his auspices looked very happy. Concubine Xiao Xia always treated them well, even when her servants made mistakes, the concubine did not punish her at all, only occasionally Reminding not to make the same mistakes in the future.
It certainly made a plus for concubine Xiao Xia in front of the servants and also the people of the empire, he said, moreover, there will soon be a competition to determine a new empress candidate for Emperor Wei Huang so that good names and tattoos are important points that must be owned by the imperial mother.
the night had finally arrived, the assassins who had been invited by the entire Feng Ling began to arrive, they were sneaking around looking for the existence of the Pavilion occupied by concubine Xiao Xia, who was the one who had been invited to visit, considering that the guard in the palace looks very tight, so that the hitmen must be on standby, lest their existence is known by the soldiers so that it will cause a stir that will trouble them all.
Finally they reached their destination, the pavilion atmosphere of concubine Xiao Xia looked very dark, as if there was not a single person living in that place. The hitmen started to look at each other, could it be that they were currently making a mistake or was indeed concubine Xiao Xia not in place? think them.
Before long they began to retrace the entire Pavilion inside the imperial palace to search for the whereabouts of the prey they had to kill, but after traveling around for some time they finally feel tired, and look for a safe place to rest.
Black smoke suddenly billowed making the assassins finally coughed, they felt tightness in the chest after accidentally inhaling the smoke that turned out to contain the poison.
Currently the five shadow bodyguards belonging to concubine Xiao Xia had lit incense containing poison, they deliberately let the smoke to be inhaled by the assassins so that it does not need to be too hard to beat them, considering the number of hitmen brought in no more than 10 people.
Uhuk...
Uhuk...
Uhuk...
The coughing sound issued by the assassins, was finally heard by the soldiers who were patrolling, the soldier deftly called his comrades to catch the intruders who were currently sitting while coughing on a tree branch.
And finally about 200 soldiers immediately came to that direction, they were seen carrying various weapons such as daggers, swords and arrows.
The hitmen were shocked by the sudden arrival of the soldiers who surrounded them, but to escape from that place was not easy, because the black smoke that was accidentally inhaled by their lungs turned out to contain a paralyzing poison, thus making their bodies directly collapse on the ground, the, right in front of the jiahu imperial soldiers who were currently surrounding them.
Bruck...
Bruck...
Bruck...
"Damn..!" curse those hitmen with blackened faces.
Right now they could no longer escape from that place, and it was certain that until Emperor Wei Huang found out what they were doing inside the imperial palace, an extremely severe punishment awaited all of them, after all, especially now that the bodies of the hitmen were paralyzed so it would be impossible to fight back.
"Bang*at! Who is playing with us now? Could it be that the current concubine Feng Ling had deliberately trapped all of us, in order to obtain the punishment from Emperor Wei Huang, so that she was immediately crowned empress, she said, because it managed to subdue the existence of hit men like us?" whispered one of the hitmen to his comrades.
At the moment the brains of those hit men started to work, they regretted having received the job from concubine Feng Ling, if only not because the pay given by the concubine was huge, he said, it was likely that even the hitmen would never set foot in the imperial palace, let alone intend to finish off concubine Xiao Xia.

Prangs...

Prangs...
"Whatdidyou say? the hit men got caught? How come? I have taken out a lot of gold coins in order to finish off concubine Xiao Xia, using the services of the hitmen! How could they all fail to carry out the order I gave them?"concubine Feng Ling asked as she continued to break down one by one the items that were currently inside her Pavilion.
He really felt very upset, because of the carelessness made by the hitmen, finally his position as a potential imperial consort jiahu would be threatened.
"Damn!" concubine Feng Ling clenched her hands, her eyes reddened, she was truly furious upon hearing the information of failure from the hitmen she had sent to finish off her rival.

Elsewhere, a woman was smiling faintly, especially when one of her servants provided information about the capture of the hitmen sent to her pavilion. Especially after he heard the anger from concubine Feng Ling for feeling his current position was starting to be threatened.
That of course made concubine Xiao Xia sneer at the work of concubine Feng Ling who was in a hurry, even though until now, she still had not shown any ability at all.
"Basic naive!" concubine Xiao Xia said as she sipped her tea very gracefully.
A sweet smile rattled from her thin lips, she finally benefited from the fatal mistake that concubine Feng Ling had made, so it was likely that Emperor Wei Huang would soon elevate herself to an imperial consort, after all, replacing the empress Xue Yi who had died a few months ago.
"It seems that I should immediately thank the entire Feng Ling, because in this way, then his Majesty the Emperor will immediately appoint me to be an empress, she said, while he is likely to get a very heavy punishment for having tried to eliminate an imperial consort candidate" concubine Xiao Xia said as she leaned her back against the wall.
