The little palace maid is charming and charming, and she is a disaster along the way

Chapter 28, Seducing the Emperor

"White Jade Hibiscus Cake?"

Queen Ye raised her eyebrows slightly for a moment, and Liu Zhaoyuan, who had never thought that she would be involved with her, was immediately frightened.

"Impossible! I ate some of this white jade lotus pastry, but there was nothing wrong with it." Liu Zhaoyuan was flustered and looked at Emperor Yuji with a look of grievance, "Your Majesty, there must be some misunderstanding. I am innocent."

While Liu Zhaoyuan was defending herself, Li Changzai, who had been hiding behind others, glanced at Shen Qingtang. Seeing that she had no intention of taking the opportunity to embarrass Liu Zhaoyuan, she couldn't help but grit her teeth.

Their 'husband' hates people gossiping the most. How great would it be if Shen Qingtang could take advantage of the situation?

By then, even if you have some favor, you will probably only be despised.

Li Changzai's eyes flickered slightly, and when Empress Ye saw Liu Zhaoyuan's panic-stricken look, and then looked at Shen Qingtang's calmness, she felt even more unhappy for a moment.

In comparison, both are suspected, but Liu Zhaoyuan is impatient and really useless.

"Are there any of this White Jade Hibiscus Cake left?"

Liu Zhaoyuan shook her head. "I heard that the White Jade Hibiscus Pastry was sent to Fanghua Palace by Concubine Zhang. Concubine Shu, do you have any left?"

Shen Qingtang, who was mentioned again, said calmly, "They are all here. If you need them, I can ask Amber to get them."

Queen Ye completely rejected Shen Qingtang's proposal.

"Need not."

The two people already have conflicts. If Shen Qingtang takes the opportunity to retaliate, wouldn't Liu Zhaoyuan be wronged?

Liu Zhaoyuan understood Queen Ye's intention and immediately looked at her with gratitude.

However, she was in the midst of a storm and didn't trust anyone. She pushed her maid away and said, "Your Majesty, Jin'er, who is beside me, happens to be free. You can ask her to get it."

However, her behavior made Empress Ye unhappy, and even her voice became a little colder.

"In that case, Ginkgo, you should take Jin'er with you and bring back the remaining White Jade Hibiscus Pastries so that the imperial physician can examine them one by one."

"Slave, go now."

Ginkgo took Jin'er away. Queen Ye looked at Emperor Yuji with an inquiring look. Emperor Yuji, who had been silent and just listened to the Queen's arrangements, suddenly glanced at Liu Zhaoyuan with his narrow and long phoenix eyes. His low and cold voice made people feel uneasy for no reason.

"I don't know when you and Concubine Zhang became so close."

Liu Zhaoyuan panicked, "Sister Zhang has loved sweets since she became pregnant. I thought this White Jade Hibiscus Pastry tasted good, so I gave it to Sister Zhang, but I never thought it would bring me trouble..."

Liu Zhaoyuan is also a beauty, with a face as white as jade, hair as white as thick clouds, and when she looks like she is about to cry, she has a kind of beauty that makes people feel pity for her.

"…Your Majesty, please make the decision for me…"

Shen Qingtang listened to her silent sobbing, but his pair of bright dark eyes quietly fell on Emperor Yu Ji in the crowd.

Under the flickering candlelight, he pursed his thin lips, and his meticulously carved facial features revealed endless chilliness in every inch of his eyes and brows, like a cold sword unsheathed, which could lead to eternal damnation if one is not careful.

...This young emperor is charming but too dangerous.

If she doesn't want to die, she must not give her true heart!
Shen Qingtang was afraid, but Emperor Yu Ji, who noticed her gaze, looked at her silently.

The moment their eyes met, Shen Qingtang's heart trembled, and she quickly looked away as if she was guilty of a crime. Her fair and tender cheeks were flushed under the teasing gaze of Emperor Yu Ji.

Her heart was beating wildly, but the figure that had a fatal attraction to her made her unable to control herself and secretly look at him again. Unexpectedly, she ran into a pair of deep phoenix eyes.
Emperor Yu Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, and now even the tips of her ears felt hot.

Being caught one after another, under his interested gaze, Shen Qingtang glanced at him sideways in embarrassment and annoyance, then lowered her head angrily and refused to look at him again.

This little look made Emperor Yu Ji's expression soften for a moment.

The only one who dared to act like a spoiled brat in front of him was his concubine Shu.

The interaction between Shen Qingtang and Emperor Yu Ji only lasted for a moment.

Apart from Queen Ye who noticed something, only Li Changzai, who was keeping a close eye on Shen Qingtang, was gritting her teeth in jealousy.

Fox Meizi!
How dare you seduce the emperor in public!
Glancing at Liu Zhaoyuan who was crying, Li Changzai's eyes flickered slightly, and he deliberately lowered his voice and complained in a low voice.

"Lady Zhang only went to Fanghua Palace, and Lady Zhaoyuan said it was Sister Qingtang who did it. Now it's you who's been wronged, and you know how to cry out for justice..."

Although Li Changzai's voice was low, everyone could hear it.

No one noticed that Queen Ye's face looked a little ugly.

Just now, when Emperor Yu Ji asked her why Shen Qingtang felt wronged, she just let it go. Now she brings up the old topic again. Does Li Changzai know that this is a slap in her face?
Now, not only Queen Ye and Liu Zhaoyuan were dissatisfied, even Shen Qingtang himself was shocked.

When will her cousin ever stand up for her?
Where is Li Changzai, who wanted to kill her for causing Concubine Zhang’s miscarriage?
Shen Qingtang didn't need to say anything, Liu Zhaoyuan's eyes were filled with tears, and she wished she could eat her alive.

"Li Chang is here——"

Emperor Yu Ji glanced at her, and Liu Zhaoyuan, who was unwilling, immediately shut up. Only Emperor Yu Ji's voice sounded coldly in Linfengju.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Li Changzai was so happy that Emperor Yuji finally looked at her. She showed her most attractive side to Emperor Yuji and stood up for Shen Qingtang like a good sister.

"In reply to the emperor, Concubine Zhang went to Fanghua Palace because she was looking for a cat. It was also because of this incident that Sister Qingtang was implicated. I feel a little unfair for Sister Qingtang."

After saying that, she looked at Shen Qingtang with pity. With this look, everyone knew that she was a good sister who cared for her younger sister.

Emperor Yuji looked at him with a dignified look, "Are you Li Changzai?"

Li Changzai said shyly, "Your Majesty, I am Li Changzai from Chenglu Palace."

If she could gain some favor by showing her caring character for her sisters, she wouldn't mind taking advantage of Shen Qingtang's help to move to a higher level.

Now Shen Qingtang had no idea what was going on. It turned out that she was being used as a tool to win the emperor's favor.

Thinking of this, Shen Qingtang not only did not feel aggrieved for herself, on the contrary, she knelt down to express her gratitude to Queen Ye.

"After the Queen found out the whole story, she has proven my innocence. Now I just hope that the truth will come out soon so that you sisters will not be implicated."

She was so well-behaved and sensible that not only Emperor Yu Ji was satisfied, but even Empress Ye looked pleased.

"When the White Jade Hibiscus Pastry is retrieved, no matter what the truth is, this palace and the emperor will not wrongly accuse anyone."

As he was speaking, the sound of footsteps came from outside.

"Your Majesty, Empress, and the maidservants of Baiyu Furongsu have all been brought back. Shall we ask the imperial physician to examine them now?"
