Right Prime Minister Song immediately notified his daughter to be on action in handling the matters of the harem. He didn't slack off as well on his job as right Prime Minister making Kana and the rest of the officials satisfied.

A total opposite of what happened to the second prince's faction.

The Park family is already in total chaos for their allies and lackeys started to turn their backs on them.

Noble Consort Song is oozing in confidence and wanted to brag about her new position so she walked around and she happened to passed by the huge and beautiful Rui Palace.

"Halt," She commanded on the people who carried her palanquin.

"I want to visit the Imperial Concubine."

"But Your Highness, Her Grace Imperial Concubine Lili is currently Detained and forbidden to get out." Her servant stopped her.

"Idiot! That's why I will go in because she cannot get out! Hurry and announce my entrance!" Noble Consort Song smack the nape of the servant who almost cry for the pain.

"Yes." She bowed and run to the gate to notify the guards.

The two entrance guards opened the gate door and announce, making Lili stopped on her track and look at the door.

"Noble Consort Song has arrived."

Lili dusted her dress and prepared to meet her.

"Your Highness," She curtsied.

"Rise," Nobel Consort Song sat on the marble chair in the garden.

"I heard you were detained? What happened?"

"This is all Imperial Noble Consort Han's fault!" Lili said, her face turns red her fist turns into a ball like she wanted to crushed someone.

"Oh? Did you offend her?" Noble Consort Song asked, she knew that the sisters are very close but she didn't know that they formed a feud.

"Not that I know off," Lili denied.

"Empress Regent Han would not get angry for a small reason, she's a very sensible person." Noble Consort Song said.

Lili heard it and she was stunned.

"Empress Regent?!"

"Yes, She became the Empress Regent while the Empress is still detained in the Cold Palace effective until His Majesty returns from the borders, she's holding the Emperor's Jade Seal in her possession now and the whole Empire is currently under her rule." Noble Consort Han said in a dramatic manner.

Lili pondered a bit and she approached Noble Consort Song, held her hand tightly.

"If that's the case then I humbly ask Your Highness to lend me a hand."

Noble Consort Song frowned, "What for?"

"I want someone to do a job for me but I cannot get out for a moment."

Noble Consort Song nodded, "Since the Emperor isn't here then I will lend you a hand, just don't let other people know."

Lili was delighted. "Indeed, Noble Consort Song is sensible."

"What kind of people do you want to meet?"

Lili thought for a bit, "I want someone from Countless Pleasure, they are known to be resourceful in gathering information, I want to gather information about the past deeds of Minister Han, good or bad."

Noble Consort Song was flabbergasted.

"Are you going crazy? He's your father! If anything happens to the Han family, you are not excempted."

"You are wrong, I am not a REAL Han, everyone knew that I was a daughter of Minister Han's Concubine. I want to pull them down!"

Noble Consort Song didn't say anything for a bit. "I will think about it."

Lili smile a bit, "Remember that if Empress Regent Han will be eliminated, you might be able to be the Empress."

A flicker of greed flashed on Noble Consort Song's eyes but she hide it at once.

She was about to say something when a voice was heard on the door.

"Oh, looks like there's a gathering of two famous white lotus here." a sarcastic voice said, they saw it was the second Prince's Main Consort, Yu Lin.

"Consort Lin, what do you mean?"

Lili frowned, she did not know how much information does Consort Lin heard.

"Nothing much, I was just passing by to get some osmanthus flowers for the sweets that I planned to make but what I saw is two beautiful white lotus and green tea bitches all in one. Then I shall take my leave." Consort Lin curtsied and turn to leave.

"Did she heard anything?" Noble Consort Song was terrified.

Lili sneered, "Even if she heard anything, there's no used, I heard that the Second Prince is planning to revolt, and if it wasn't a success, she will die soonest."

"But we shall prepare precautions just in case she might say any information to Empress Regent Han."

Lili snickered, "I have an idea." she leaned closer and whispered to Noble Consort Song.

"Killing someone by using other people's hand?" Noble Consort Song gasped.

Lili nodded, and let out a triumphant chuckled. "It's called borrowing someone's knife to stab."

Without them knowing that Yuli, Consort Lin's servant is hiding in the bushes listening to their conversation.

"Princess Consort Lin recquesting for audience." A eunuch guarding the door announced.

"Let her in." Kana calmly said as he put down the scroll.

"Your Majesty!" Consort Lin curtsied.

"No need to be formal, what brings you here?" Kana offered her to sit.

Without beating around the bush, Consort Lin told him about what he heard on that day and Yuli, told them about what she heard as well.

After a few moments of absorbing the information, Kana snickered.

"Consort Lin, you are aware that Prince Haii is currently planning to revolt?"

Consort Lin nodded, "Yes, but I don't know the details."

"Don't worry about it, you said you wanted to be free?" Kana smiled warmly.

"Yes, I want to be free and go far from this place."

Kana nodded, "If the Second Prince failed in this revolt, he will be punish to death and all his people will die with him, and you are not excepted as his Main Consort."

Consort Lin starts to panicked.

"What should I do then?"

"I remember back then when we held a banquet and the Emperor of Yuan was here, he looked like he was infatuated to you, what do you think?" Kana said in a teasing voice.

Consort Lin shook his head. "No, that's not possible."

"Then I will make it possible! that bitches wanted to use you to kill me then let's play their game." Kana chuckled.

Consort Lin understand the meaning of that and he smiled as well.

"Then I will be a good actor."

The two laugh together and look really excited, Yuli look at his master and Empress Regent Han, nobody knows that this interaction will happen again, but of course that's on the future.
