Jiaohua

Cao Yuxiang is the sharpest thorn in Yan Qinglin's heart at the moment.

Song Zhiyi never had a queen, and the position of queen has remained vacant until now. Concubine Cao Yuxiang is the only one in the harem who is favored and honored.

At the same time, among Song Zhiyi's concubines, Cao Yuxiang is the one who takes Yan Qinglin the least seriously.

When Song Zhiyi heard that Yan Qinglin was looking for her, he panicked and wanted to go immediately, but Tian Wu suddenly stopped him: "Your Majesty, don't go!"

Tian Wu was from Yan Qinglin's faction. Seeing him, Song Zhiyi also got angry and slapped him away: "Get lost! If you try to stop me again, I will kill everyone in your Tian family!"

Tian Wu was not discouraged. He followed Song Zhiyi out. When he had some distance between himself and the ministers behind him, Tian Wu suddenly stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, this is a good opportunity!"

Song Zhiyi roared: "Do you really think I dare not kill you?!"

Tian Wu said: "If Madam Yan really disrespected Concubine Cao, Your Majesty, this is an excuse, a knife that she personally put in your hand to punish her!"

Song Zhiyi suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at Tian Wu.

Tian Wu also looked at him.

Song Zhiyi was not a person who was trained to be a king since childhood. He couldn't help but said, "Tian Wu, aren't you Madam Yan's man? Are you not helping her?"

"Your Majesty, I eat your salary, I am loyal to you, and I share your concerns. Tian Wu is your Majesty's subject!"

Song Zhiyi narrowed his eyes and looked at him steadily.

Song Zhiyi is still learning the emperor's tactics and mental strategies.

However, he learned the emperor's suspicion and doubt without any guidance and even surpassed his teacher.

Tian Wu continued, "Besides, if Madam Yan can go today, she can go tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Does Your Majesty have to rush to put out the fire as soon as he hears that she has gone to the harem?"

"How dare you! Are you saying that I will be led by her by the nose?" Song Zhiyi said this calmly without scolding her harshly.

Tian Wu knew that he was moved by his words: "Let's see how the Imperial Concubine responds. If she can fight with Madam Yan, Your Majesty, she is relieving your worries."

Song Zhiyi's expression finally relaxed.

He nodded, his face calm, and turned back.

Sun Ziyi quietly came to Tian Wu's side and asked: "What did you say to His Majesty? How could you persuade His Majesty to stay?"

Tian Wu didn't say it directly, but kept the topic in suspense: "What can persuade His Majesty is naturally what His Majesty likes to hear."

Song Zhiyi was persuaded, and Yan Qinglin sat in front of Cao Yuxiang, waiting and waiting, but he didn't come.

Estimated time, it should have come a long time ago.

Cao Yuxiang was flipping through the book slowly and leisurely, with her brows lowered and her expression calm.

She is Cao Yijun's cousin.

In troubled times, the surnames of prominent families were the most valuable. Although she was not a direct descendant of the Dingtao Cao family, she was related enough to hold her head high in Song Zhiyi's harem.

Cao Yuxiang didn't take Yan Qinglin's gaze seriously.

But she couldn't leave.

She was calm as she read page by page.

As Yan Qinglin looked at this young face, the hatred in her heart grew more intense.

"You are so lucky," Yan Qinglin said coldly, "I have spent half my life scheming for the emperor, and you stepped on my back and tiptoed to take my fruits easily."

Cao Yuxiang smiled as she looked at the book: "Thank you, Madam Yan, for planting the trees and growing the fruit. The fruit is very sweet."

All the followers who followed Yan Qinglin were angry because of these words.

Yan Qinglin still sat upright: "You are so brave, you dare to talk to me like this?"

"Who is so bold?" Cao Yuxiang finally raised her eyes and looked directly at Yan Qinglin, "Madam Yan, you asked someone to move the case and sit here without my permission. Do you take His Majesty and me seriously?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a young eunuch quickly ran back.

The young eunuch glanced at Yan Qinglin, then spoke softly into Cao Yuxiang's ear. Cao Yuxiang's face changed slightly, and her brows furrowed.

Almost at the same time, another young eunuch came over and spoke to Lian Yin's ear.

Lian Yin nodded, stepped forward and whispered in Yan Qinglin's ear: "The emperor has learned that the lady is here, but he has not moved. Cao Yuxiang quietly sent someone to invite her, but she did not move."

Yan Qinglin looked slightly happy and looked at Cao Yuxiang.

Cao Yuxiang felt uneasy, but she didn't want to be suppressed by Yan Qinglin.

After thinking for a while, Cao Yuxiang closed the book and stood up.

If the emperor doesn't come, then she will go.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she stood up, Yan Qinglin asked, "Where are you going?"

"Where I go is none of your business."

Cao Yuxiang was about to leave quickly, but Lian Yin suddenly came over and grabbed her and dragged her back.

The palace maids and eunuchs around were shocked and looked at Yan Qinglin, who was as still as a mountain.

"Let go!" Cao Yuxiang couldn't break free of Lian Yin and shouted at Yan Qinglin, "Yan Qinglin, how dare you! How dare you commit treason like this!"

Yan Qinglin slowly stood up, put his hands in front of his stomach, and looked at Cao Yuxiang with a sneer: "You said the fruit is sweet, then you should taste it carefully today to see how sweet this fruit is."

Yan Qinglin took Cao Yuxiang out of the palace directly, and no one stopped her along the way.

As the carriage drove away from the palace gate, Cao Yuxiang clenched her fingers, her pretty face pale, angry and powerless.

Seeing Yan Qinglin's sarcastic gaze, Cao Yuxiang gritted her teeth and said, "If you do this, His Majesty will not forgive you!"

Yan Qinglin said calmly: "Your Majesty has a scale in his heart to judge what is more important than what is less important."

"You are arrogant on weekdays, and His Majesty tolerates you, but today you trampled on the dignity of the emperor, and you will see if His Majesty will tolerate it!"

"It is you I humiliated. You are so shameless that you compare yourself to the dignity of the Son of Heaven."

Cao Yuxiang raised her voice: "But I am your Majesty's concubine!"

"Then go ask the emperor whether he wants you, a good-looking but useless concubine, or one of the hundreds of top assassins under my command to work for him?"

Cao Yuxiang was speechless, her eyes red with anger.

Yan Qinglin continued, "The situation is turbulent. As long as the world is in chaos, the emperor cannot do without me. Is A-Li scary? But her brother Xia Zhaoxue is someone I can only manage."

Cao Yuxiang turned her head to the side.

"Fight me?" Yan Qinglin sneered, "What gives you the right? You have no power or influence, yet you dare to claim that you have gained something by stepping on me!"

Cao Yuxiang didn't say a word and remained silent all the way until the carriage stopped in front of Yan Qinglin's mansion.

"What are you going to do to me?" Cao Yuxiang looked at Yan Qinglin.

Yan Qinglin looked at her coldly, then turned and left.

Then Lianyin and another aunt directly pulled Cao Yuxiang off the carriage.

Cao Yuxiang fell to the ground, her elegant clothes and jewelry were scattered all over the place.

Before she could get up by herself, the two men dragged her up from the ground, not giving her any time to tidy up.

Cao Yuxiang was dragged into Yan's house in such an embarrassed manner.

She could no longer bear it and could no longer control herself: "Yan Qinglin! If you dare to hurt me today, our Cao family will not let you go! Your Majesty can't make the decision for me, but our Dingtao Cao family can!"

Yan Qinglin was walking in front and found this funny: "How much does this Dingtao Cao family have to do with you? Not to mention that you are nothing in the eyes of the direct descendants of Dingtao Cao family. Even if you are the eldest daughter of Dingtao Cao family, I, Yan Qinglin, would still dare to kill you today."

The word "kill" sent a chill down Cao Yuxiang's spine. (End of this chapter)
