The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 540 Another Life (4)
Yin Yu stomped her feet and said: "Before I asked people about it, I also heard about Concubine Rong Gui. When talking about her, people in the palace said that she was kind and kind, and she was a rare good master. Only now did I find out that she was also a concubine. Such a heartless and ruthless person."

"No, you're wrong. If she really didn't care about Ye Hanyu, she wouldn't have performed with me in Lan Ruoxuan, and she wouldn't have said such harsh words to Bengong." Concubine Li held Yinyu's hand and turned to the opposite direction. Going in the direction, she resumed her usual charming and sweet voice, and said with a very determined smile: "Ronghua's fingertips are bloody at the bottom of her sleeve, even though what she said is the truth, she is not as heartless as she appears on the surface. It's very accurate."

Passing through the path of the imperial garden, Jin Xin saw that there was no one around in the open space, so she asked in a low voice: "Mother, why did you say such chilling words to Concubine Li just now? Aren't you afraid that it will be heard by He Shuyi? Is she sad?"

Qingchen tightened the fox fur cloak on her body, and said disapprovingly: "She won't, since she has lowered her head in a magnanimous manner, she won't easily speak ill of me in front of Sister Ye, otherwise she will Wouldn’t the effort I’ve put into acting before be in vain? If she said something like that, the more I value He Shuyi, the more Concubine Li would not let her go. It’s better to speak harshly. She didn’t If you are sure, you will not dare to attack He Shuyi easily."

Jin Xin curled her lips contemptuously, saying that she looked down on Concubine Li's character, "Aren't He Shuyi and Concubine Li cousins, they are relatives, why is the empress still worried that Concubine Li will harm her?"

Qingchen snorted softly, and her words were a bit colder than the bitter north wind, "Dear one? When the Xie family was in trouble, she heard that the Ye family didn't even dare to intercede. She was already so cold. For Xie Wanyi, there are no relatives in this world."

Jin Xin nodded, but said as if she could understand: "The crown prince died in the Ye family, and King Su led his troops to force the palace. At that time, I asked for forgiveness?"

Qing Chen also sighed: "Yeah, the favor in the officialdom is as thin as paper. At that time, I was afraid that it would be too late to clear up the relationship with Xie's family. Who would dare to take the risk of extermination to intercede for them?"

Beifeng whimpered and walked near the Duanyang Palace, when he suddenly heard someone's cry mixed with the sound of the wind, Qingchen's heart twitched, and he suddenly remembered the appearance when he first saw Jinyun. Feeling wronged, his frail body was beaten all over with bruises, and he hid in a corner where no one was around, crying secretly.

There was a burst of pain in my heart and I couldn't help but feel pity. Qingchen stopped and said, "Listen, someone is crying."

Jin Xin listened attentively for a while, then pointed to the side path and said, "It seems to be coming from over there, servant girl, go and have a look, it's dark and the road is difficult to walk, how about your empress waiting here?"

Qingchen glanced at the corner again, and said: "Then be careful, it's dark at night and there is snow everywhere, don't fall down."

"Okay, the servant will come back as soon as he goes."

When Jin Xin went to look for someone, she stood quietly by the side of the road and waited. Not far away, a little eunuch began to hang lanterns on the porch. The orange light seemed to not only illuminate the path under her feet in the dark night , and even give people a hint of warmth.

The corners of Qingchen's mouth were lightly raised, and he was ecstatically watching the little father-in-law hanging the lantern who was staggering and busy on the ladder, when he heard a light cough behind him, he turned his head and saw Xiao Jue had come behind him.

He has always been informal, and when he saw her alone in the surroundings, he asked directly: "Chen'er, what are you doing standing here alone in the air at this time? But are you waiting for someone?"

Seeing the direction he was coming from, Qingchen probably just came out of the imperial study, so he said: "I went to Sister Ye's place to play for a while, but it was getting dark when I didn't want to come out. I heard a burst of crying just now, Jinxin went to find someone , I will wait for her here for a while."

Seeing that her hair was messed up in the wind, Xiao Jue reached out and pulled up her hood. Such a casual movement made Qingchen very uncomfortable, so she couldn't help but took a step back.

Xiao Jue glanced at the direction where Jin Xin left, and asked with a seemingly casual smile, "I heard from Brother Huang that you had some disputes with Concubine Li two days ago? Actually, Wanyi..."

"Does Your Highness also want to say that Concubine Li is such a gentle and kind person, that she has the intention to embarrass me?" Qingchen interrupted him coldly, and even said with a bit of sarcasm: "Aren't you Do you think I hurt her on purpose? Yes, I let the girl do this. If she dares to show off in my palace, I will teach her a lesson and let her know that I, Mu Qingchen, are not so easily bullied. All of you are protecting her, so I will not be afraid of her. The battle between me and her has just begun, and there is still a long way to go. If His Highness wants to condemn Bengong, forgive me for not being able to respectfully listen to her teachings. "

Qingchen thought that Xiao Jue was not Ye Hanyu. It was a fact that she and Concubine Li were at odds with each other. She could hide it from Ye Hanyu but could not hide it from Xiao Jue. She didn't want Concubine Li to cry in front of Xiao Jue about how hypocritical she was, so she might as well just tear up that concubine. Putting on a friendly mask and putting the facts in front of him, he wouldn't help himself anyway, and it was meaningless to hide it.

Xiao Jue never thought that her emotions would suddenly be so agitated, and she said softly for a moment, "Why is this so? In your eyes, do I just not know right from wrong?"

Qingchen laughed angrily, she really had enough patience today, she no longer wants to hear what others say about Concubine Li, it seems that she is always the one who is wrong, because she is narrow-minded and ignorant and should not care about Concubine Li.

Looking into Xiao Jue's eyes angrily, she said unceremoniously: "So what? Even if Your Highness now knows that it was not my fault, would you blame Concubine Li for her ulterior motives? You won't, this is me and her in your relationship. Different hearts, if it was me who made the mistake, the emperor, Sister Ye, and you, you would all accuse me of being jealous and vicious, and unworthy of serving the emperor. But if it was her who made the mistake, you would all remain silent, and you could even tolerate it .

But I can't, I don't owe her anything, I don't need to make up for it, I don't need to be patient, I am not a saint, I will not try to influence her, I will only fight her with my heart, I know His Highness will spare no effort to protect her, so today I am here Let me make this clear, even if His Highness wants to be my enemy in the future, I will not complain or blame. If His Highness regrets saving me by mistake, I have nothing to say. "

Such unfeeling words made Xiao Jue very uncomfortable to hear, and an unknown fire rushed into his heart. With an impulse he didn't know where, he suddenly held her cheeks, bowed his head desperately and kissed her lips fiercely, and then Pushing her back to a corner of the rockery, he pressed his body against her tightly so that she could not struggle at all.
