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

Chapter 865
But he couldn't vent this kind of anger, and the pain in his heart was like burning charcoal, but he couldn't vent it.

what can we do about it?As Concubine Li said, Xiao Jue is the brother he grew up with, he loves him more than anyone else, and Concubine Chen, even if such a thing happened, he wanted to kill someone angrily, but he still couldn't bear to do anything to her. .This complex and contradictory mood almost drove him crazy.

There was silence in the imperial study room, everyone knelt on the ground and didn't dare to breathe, even the people waiting outside were silent, only the sound of crackling and smashing things and the sound of wood being smashed came from inside.

At daybreak, the imperial study was in a mess, the dragon case was split into wooden strips by the emperor, and none of the furnishings inside were intact, as if in a catastrophe.When the emperor went to the morning court, the little five led the people to pack things in a panic, and it took a full hour to tidy up the imperial study.

As for the sudden arrival of the emperor last night, Qing Chen also had no clue, but thought that the emperor was still angry with her, so she didn't take it to heart.

On the day when Shengjia came back to Luan, she followed Concubine Ning to send the emperor off, Xiao Jun passed by her indifferently, with a sullen face and didn't even look at her, just got on the dragon chariot as if she didn't exist.

Qingchen was feeling sad when he heard Fuquan come over and say, "Concubine Li, the emperor has summoned you to return to Beijing on a dragon chariot."

Concubine Li was smiling gloatingly at the side, and asked in surprise when she heard the words: "Grandpa Fu heard correctly, right? Are you sure the emperor called me and not Concubine Chen?"

Fuquan glanced at Qingchen, his expression was not very good-looking, and he said loudly: "Miss Li, the slave heard me right, the emperor indeed summoned you."

Concubine Li covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said with a smile: "Sister Concubine Chen, I was thinking just now that the emperor came with you when I came here. If there is no one accompanying you on the way back, wouldn't it be a lonely journey? Who Knowing that the emperor has ordered me to serve as an attendant, I am really flattered, please tell me quickly, what should I have to talk to the emperor along the way?"

Qingchen looked gloomy, and said indifferently: "As long as the emperor likes it, what does it matter what we talk about?"

Concubine Ning really couldn't understand Concubine Li's complacent look, she walked over and said with a sneer, "Sister Li Concubine, since the emperor asked you to drive back to Beijing, you should go quickly, if the emperor is impatient to call Others, sister, don’t you feel very shameless? Although it is the honor of a concubine to accompany you back to Beijing, don’t you feel too complacent like this?”

Concubine Li smiled contemptuously and said, "What Sister Ning Concubine said is that my sister dare not keep the emperor waiting for a long time, so I will go to serve the holy driver, but you can rest assured, sister Chen, the emperor will definitely think of my sister when he sees me You, I will say a few good words for you in front of the emperor, no matter whether the emperor is still angry with you, my sister will persuade the emperor well, and when the emperor's anger subsides, my sister will definitely regain her favor."

She left a coquettish smile, turned around and followed Fuquan onto the emperor's dragon chariot, Qingchen twisted the silk handkerchief in her hand, feeling so sad that she couldn't breathe, but in front of Concubine Ning, she couldn't express too much sadness , I had to try my best to endure it.

Seeing her like that, Concubine Ning knew that she was not feeling well, so she persuaded softly: "Forget it, let her go, don't you know Concubine Li's temper, she is good at stabbing people's hearts, it is rare for her to be proud , let her get excited, I only hope that she will not be too happy, and just annoy the emperor."

Qingchen forced himself to show a gentle smile, and said without seeming to care: "Once I leave the palace, my thoughts are all on the scenery along the way, and I rarely chat with the emperor to relieve boredom, and the emperor probably doesn't like it either. I'm too silent. That's fine, the emperor doesn't need me to wait on you, and I can take a good look at the scenery along the way."

"It's best if you think so, go, we should set off." Concubine Ning comforted her a few more words, then turned and walked to her carriage.

With Yun Lan's support, Qing Chen got into his chariot and drove back to the capital.

Along the way, she just stared at the scenery outside the window in a daze, her eyes no longer had the excited look she had when she left the palace, and she lay down at the window with a dejected expression. What she saw was the beautiful rivers and mountains, but there was a deep and deep feeling hidden in her eyes. deep loss.

She was getting more and more confused about the emperor's mind, why he still took it when he knew that there was something wrong with the pill that Concubine Li had put in, is it so important?

Concubine Li was at bedtime last night. She knew that no one in the palace could match Concubine Li in terms of the ability to seduce men. But she had always believed that the emperor was not someone who just wanted to have fun for a while, but now she began to have doubts. Come on, are men, especially the emperor, really greedy for beauty?

Xiao Jun's sudden change of temperament made her a little unacceptable, and more of a grievance. She knew that everything she did was selfless, but why did she still get so angry?Let her be so shameless in front of others, why?

Before leaving, seeing Concubine Li's complacent look, although Sang Guirong and Xue Changzai didn't say a word, they didn't hide their jokes at all. It turned out that they had been expecting her bad luck for a long time.

Feeling uncomfortable, naturally she wasn't in the mood to enjoy the scenery. She was in a depressed mood all the way, and the emperor didn't say a word to her until she returned to the palace.

The first thing to do after returning to Beijing is to prepare for the big draft to fill the harem with girls. The date is set to be ten days later. This has already been decided, and no one has the right to object.

For several days in a row, the emperor was not empty at night. Except for Xue Changzai, who was not liked, the emperor was exposed to rain and dew, but he did not set foot in Duanyang Palace.

I heard from the little five sons in front of the imperial court that the emperor is not in good health recently, he often coughs badly, and has a very bad temper recently, the maids and eunuchs who served in front of the imperial court have been punished several times, the emperor is in a bad mood, and the servants are all trembling Yes, lest one accidentally lose his head.

That day Qingchen took Jin Xin to visit the imperial court, she waited outside the imperial study for a long time, but the emperor did not see her call.Fuquan came out several times, saying that the emperor was busy and didn't have time to see her, but Qingchen heard a woman's laughter coming from the imperial study room, and saw Xia Tong guarding outside, talking to the little girls in front of the imperial court. Chatting, Qingchen knew that Sang Guirong was inside, and he would lose face if he waited any longer, so he handed the food box in his hand to Fuquan and said: "Eunuch Fu, I heard that the emperor is not in good health recently, so I specially boiled I ordered some loquat and candied date soup, please pass it on to the emperor. Beijing is not like a palace, autumn and winter are very dry, let the emperor eat more things that can clear away heat and moisten the lungs."
