Marriage Princess: The Alluring Concubine of the Evil Emperor

Chapter 247 Exploring Qinghe
Apart from asking Xinglan to prepare sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, Concubine Qi also has several exquisite pastries that the emperor likes to eat. She is very confident that Xinglan can invite the emperor over, because one of the emperor's two most beloved daughters is married Bei Mo, the other one is Xing Lan, Xing Lan begged him a few words, act like a baby with him, he will definitely come over.

Hearing the sound of footsteps outside, she rushed out to greet her, opened the curtain, and saw only Xing Lan came back, the smile on her face froze immediately, "Where's your father?"

Xing Lan said indifferently: "Father didn't come, but a plague god came instead!"

Concubine Qi raised her head and saw Qinghe walking in slowly with Cai Ling, her footsteps hesitated, as if Xinglan's words made her stop.

Concubine Qi Gui's face suddenly sank, she asked Xing Lan, "Why didn't your father come? Where did you go?"

"Still in Suhe Palace, saying that he wants to stay alone." Xing Lan said angrily.She also thought that her father would definitely come if she went out, but she didn't expect that he would rather stay alone in Suhe Palace than come here to eat his favorite pastries.

Qinghe stepped forward and bowed to Concubine Qi, "I have seen Concubine Qi."

Concubine Qi said angrily: "Come in when you come." After speaking, she twisted her body and went in.

Cang Yue stood at the door, just glanced at Qing He indifferently, and didn't say a word. When Qing He walked up the stone steps, she greeted the other court ladies, "See the princess!"

Qinghe ignored her and went straight in.

Concubine Qi's voice came from the inner hall, "Cang Yue, serve the princess well."

"Yes!" Cang Yue replied.

Cang Yue followed Qing He into the palace, except for the maids and eunuchs serving in the palace, Princess Xinglan and Concubine Qi Gui didn't know where they went.

Cang Yue led Qing He into the side hall, there was no one else here, several plates of exquisite pastries were placed on the table, a pot of wine was warmed up, and three chairs were placed, it could be seen that this place was intended to be closed for family fun.

Cang Yue asked Qing He to sit down and said, "Princess can eat whatever she wants." After speaking, she poured Qing He a glass of wine.

Qinghe picked up the wine and took a sip. The wine was mellow, sweet and soft. It should be sweet-scented osmanthus wine that has been brewed for more than five years.

This Fu Shrine has never been short of good things.

Qinghe is not picky about food, but she also appreciates delicious food. She tried a piece of everything, and the taste was excellent. It seems that Cang Yue's craftsmanship is comparable to Cai Ling's.

"You did it all?" Qing He asked.

"Returning to the princess is mostly done by slaves." Cang Yue replied flatly, she did not make eye contact with Qing He, and even had a hint of impatience on her face, as if serving Qing He was a grievance to her.

Qinghe asked: "Can you teach Cailing?"

Cang Yue said with no expression on her face: "Princess, this is not a great culinary skill. I believe Cai Ling can do better than slaves."

Qinghe said indifferently: "If you don't want to, just say you don't want to, and I won't force you, so why put on a dirty face for me to see?"

Cang Yue bowed her head, but her tone remained indifferent, "Princess is suspicious, it's not that this servant is unwilling, but this servant is telling the truth, Cai Ling has indeed done better than this servant."

Cai Ling listened beside her, and she felt angry suddenly, she said coldly: "Princess, if you like to eat, I will make you a portion of each item, and eat until you don't want to eat."

Cang Yue didn't make a sound, but there was a snorting expression on her face, she took a step back, leaned against the chair next to her, and fiddled with her fingernails, extremely contemptuous.

Cai Ling was very angry, but she has always been a very measured person, so she didn't get angry at Cang Yue, she just felt that Cang Yue has become very kind. Before she went to the emperor late at night, she still spoke for herself and expressed She was very understanding, but now she put on a bad face and looked down on the princess.

The people in Fu Shrine are not easy to provoke, and they are not good people.

Qinghe drank two more glasses of wine in a row, then stood up and said, "Please tell Concubine Qi that I'm going back."

Cang Yue said indifferently: "Princess, go slowly, the servants want to pack up the leftovers of the princess, so they won't give them away."

Cai Ling was so angry that her face turned blue, she held Qing He's arm and said firmly: "Princess, let's go, there is no need to look at the face of a servant here."

Qinghe was about to open his mouth when he saw Princess Xinglan open the curtain and come in. When she got into the side hall, she couldn't help but step forward and slap Cang Yue twice, angrily said: "What a slave, you treat my royal sister so arrogantly. ?”

Cang Yue's expression changed slightly, and she quickly knelt down, "Princess, forgive me!"

Princess Xinglan's face was cold and cruel, "Forgive me? In the past, relying on the favor of my mother and concubine, she was defiant and bullied the servants in the palace. Today, even the royal sister of the palace dares to belittle her. Will she have to do this when she sees the empress in the future?" as arrogant and domineering?"

After finishing speaking, she yelled sharply: "Come here, take this ignorant servant out to play thirty big boards."

Cang Yue's body shook slightly, her face was ashen, but she begged in a mosquito-like voice: "Princess, please spare this servant, I will never dare again."

Princess Xinglan said coldly: "If I don't teach you a lesson, how would you know how to be afraid?"

Two guards came in from outside the hall, and under Princess Xinglan's order, they dragged Cang Yue down.

Princess Xinglan turned her head to look at Qinghe, the light in her eyes was very sharp, "Don't worry about it, imperial sister, this kind of slave just needs to be dealt with."

Qinghe looked flattered, "You don't need to be angry, sister Huang, it's not worthwhile to spoil your body because of these slaves."

The corner of Princess Xinglan's mouth twitched into a sneer, "Let's go and watch that slave execute his sentence together. My sister also has to learn my methods well. This is the way to deal with these red-topped and white slaves."

Qinghe hesitated, "This..."

Princess Xinglan saw that she was going to refuse, so she couldn't help but pull her away, "Go, go and have a look, so I can give you a sigh of relief."

Cang Yue was dragged out by the guards and pinned on a bench in the yard, her body was tied with hemp rope to prevent her from falling when she was beaten.

Two guards were holding long boards, and they were swapping to find a suitable position.

Princess Xinglan pulled Qinghe and stood on the stone steps to watch. Cang Yue raised her head and touched Qinghe's eyes. She gritted her teeth, tears were about to overflow from her eyes, "Princess Yili, please help this servant to plead for mercy. This servant knows that he is wrong."

Qinghe turned his head to the side, not looking at her, with an air of arrogance and indifference.

"What are you waiting for? Hit!" Princess Xinglan said lazily, but her eyes stayed on Qinghe's face.

Qing He glanced over Cang Yue intentionally or unintentionally, with a hint of joy in his eyes, but he still remained stubborn.

The guard got the order, and raised the board high, and it fell on Cang Yue's hip with the wind in it. With a muffled sound, Cang Yue gritted her teeth, but still screamed out in pain.

The guards didn't keep beating continuously. After the first board, they would wait for a while before proceeding to the second board. This is the unique method of hitting with a staff in Fushen Palace, because after the twenty big boards are cracked, although It is also very painful, but the process of pain and fear will be shortened. If the time between pain and fear is longer, the time of pain and fear will be prolonged. This method of execution was thought up by Princess Xinglan.
