These words were extremely harsh to Prime Minister Xia's ears.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Mei Fei continued to ask: "You just said there was an accident, what was it?"
Zi'an turned his head and looked at Concubine Mei. "When Zi'an went to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager, he passed by Concubine Yi's palace and saw something. Is your Majesty interested in knowing?"
Mei Fei's expression froze, and she had difficulty breathing. "What's the matter?"
Zi'an laughed, and his laugh was very strange. "My lady, Zi'an can only tell you."
Mei Fei paused, "Come here!"
Zi'an walked over step by step, came to Concubine Mei, and leaned down to whisper in her ear, "I saw the prince coming out of Concubine Yi's bedroom in Yilan Palace, and then I told Concubine Yi that it was Concubine Mei who asked me to come."
Mei Fei's expression suddenly changed, "What did you say?"
Zi'an grinned, his smile was eerie and terrifying, "I said, Concubine Mei specifically asked me to go there at this time."
Mei Fei gritted her teeth and said: "You..."
She was the only one in the palace who knew about Concubine Yi's affairs. However, she could not speak out because the Emperor was seriously ill now. Even if the matter became a big deal, the Empress would suppress it and she would have to be silenced.
Concubine Yi also knew that she would not say anything, so she just warned her verbally.
However, if Concubine Yi felt that she had ordered Xia Zian, an outsider, to spy today, what would Concubine Yi think
Mei Fei's scalp suddenly became stiff.
When Prime Minister Xia saw Zi'an whisper something in Mei Fei's ear, Mei Fei's face changed drastically. He stood up and asked, "Madam, what's wrong?"
Zi'an turned around almost immediately, looking at Prime Minister Xia with cold eyes, "Father, are you also interested in your daughter's family affairs?"
Prime Minister Xia said sternly, "What is your attitude now? Is there anyone who speaks to an elder like you?"
Zi'an smiled coldly, "Is there a father who treats his daughter like you? Let's not sugarcoat it. There's nothing to pretend at this point. I'm saying this. If you want me to die, I won't let you have an easy life either."
Prime Minister Xia had not expected her attitude to be so hard as iron, so he said coldly: "From the day you broke off the engagement and brought humiliation to me, you should have known what kind of punishment you would face. You will not have a good ending if you try to destroy me."
"If I still had a way to go, I would not be so desperate. You have pushed me into a dead end. Even if I die holding you, I will never let you live happily in this world."
Prime Minister Xia was so angry that his eyes widened and his chest was so blocked by anger that he could hardly breathe.
Mei Fei was shocked when she heard the conversation between the father and daughter. How could they be father and daughter? It was simply a deep hatred.
She once again felt that it was very stupid for her to get involved in this matter. Thinking of this, she shouted, "Go and see if you have found Xia Lin?"
She felt that she really couldn't afford to provoke Xia Zian, especially now that her situation in the palace was so ambiguous. With just a few words, she could walk out of Concubine Yi's palace, and so many people blocked her but couldn't kill her.
Concubine Yi sent so many people to kill her, and it might even alarm the Xiwei Palace. She knew that Xia Zian must have discovered the affair between the prince and Concubine Yi. Now Xia Zian put everything on her head, and she was also a relative of the Xia family, so Concubine Yi must have some ideas.
When Zi'an heard the name Xia Lin, her heart was torn apart by pain again. She took a step back and bowed to Concubine Mei, "I'll take my leave."
Prime Minister Xia stretched out his hand to stop her, but thinking of her arrogance, he became furious and raised his hand to slap her.
Zi'an grabbed his wrist with one hand, and the grip was as hard as iron, making Prime Minister Xia unable to move. Prime Minister Xia was shocked, "You..."
There was a raging fire in Zi'an's eyes, forming a flaming barrier between her and Prime Minister Xia. Prime Minister Xia felt that he could hardly see her appearance clearly, and her features seemed very far away.
Zi'an let him go, smiled coldly, looked at him with contempt, and turned to leave.
Ah Fa stood at the palace gate. He heard the noise and conversation inside. When Zi An came out, he said coldly, "You are just going to marry the Regent, right? Is it necessary to be so arrogant? It's not even known whether you will get married or not. The Regent is not a fool. Will he marry a woman who has lost her moral integrity?"
He is the reason why Zi'an came to Leqing Palace. Zi'an came for him, so no matter whether he speaks or not, or what his attitude is, he must die today.
So after he said that, Zi'an gave him a charming smile, his eyes and brows bright as if he had encountered something joyful.
Ah Fa looked at her with disgust, not knowing that her smile was only for the person behind him.
Zian walked closer to him and looked into his eyes, "Xia Lin is behind you."
Ah Fa's face changed drastically and he turned around suddenly, only to find that there was no one behind him.
He was furious, "What tricks are you playing?"
Zi'an asked expressionlessly, "Are you afraid of Xia Lin? He's just a child, what are you afraid of?"
Ah Fa said angrily, "Let's go."
Zi'an took another step closer, almost sticking to Ah Fa. She opened her mouth and exhaled like a cloud, "There is a rule, we all know it, killing someone means paying with your life!"
Ah Fa was horrified and looked at her, but found that the smile on her face had disappeared, replaced by a ghostly cold expression, with murderous intent flashing in her eyes.
He suddenly felt a pain in his chest and a strong electric current radiated from his heart. He lost consciousness before he even realized that he was about to die.
Zi'an strode away.
Zi'an took a few steps and heard a loud bang behind him. Without even looking back, he disappeared into the Yueqing Palace.
Afa died just like that without any scars on his body. Concubine Mei summoned the imperial physician, but the physician was unable to determine the cause of Afa's death and said that his heart suddenly stopped beating.
Mei Fei interrogated the suspects and someone saw Xia Zian talking to Afa for a while, and then Afa fell down.
"Talking? Is their conversation malicious?" asked Concubine Mei.
Everyone in the palace said that Xia Zian was talking to Afa with a smile on his face at the time, but no one could hear what the two said.
Mei Fei was terrified and said to Prime Minister Xia: "I advise you not to go against her. She is no longer the Xia Zian of the past."
Prime Minister Xia said disdainfully: "Do you really think she can kill people without being noticed? She doesn't know martial arts at all. I'm afraid your guard has some hidden illness? He is just a servant. If he dies, he dies. What's the point of making a fuss?"
Mei Fei shook her head and said, "You are already crazy now, I will not say anything more to you, you can take care of yourself, and you don't need to come to the palace to find me if you have anything to do in the future. I will no longer be involved in the affairs of your residence."
Afa's death without any reason shocked Concubine Mei. She knew that things were not that simple. It was just that Prime Minister Xia did not see clearly, or he had gone crazy and could not see through the weirdness behind this matter.
Prime Minister Xia was particularly disappointed with Concubine Mei. He sneered and said, "Your Majesty is so timid. How can you plan for the future of the Third Prince?"
"I only hope that he is safe now. As for how much blessings he should have in his life, it is beyond my control." Concubine Mei said.
Prime Minister Xia said sarcastically: "I just hope Your Majesty will not regret it."
After saying this, he actually forgot about Xia Lin and left the palace.
Concubine Mei was so nervous and frightened that she didn't even remember Xia Lin.
Poor Xia Lin, just forgotten like that.
