The wicked imperial concubine is courting death again; the comments section teaches her how to win w

Qi Yitang was indeed worried.

The fact that she could forgive even a vicious supporting female character without any resentment shows how incredibly pure this old-fashioned innocent heroine is.

Qi Yitang is a very emotional person.

If she likes someone, she will definitely show it openly, and she is especially protective of her own.

Of course, if it's someone she dislikes, she'd rather they get hit by a carriage, encounter bandits on the mountain, or fall into a river and drown.

That's right, the villainous female supporting character is just that vicious.

Seeing Ning Nishang's dazed expression, Qi Yitang assumed that she had really fallen for Xie Jingyu, and immediately alarm bells went off.

No, absolutely not!

She threw the hairpin out of Ning Nishang's hand, grabbed her hand, and pleaded, "Cousin, if you trust me, stay far away from Xie Jingyu, the farther the better! He's definitely no good!"

Judging from Qi Yitang's expression, Ning Nishang knew that she truly loathed Xie Jingyu.

...After all, that's how she used to see herself too.

Every time they meet, he always holds his head high, looks down on her, either sneers at her or deliberately bumps into her, then snorts and leaves.

It's just like a proud little kitten that won't let you touch its tail.

But why?

Tangtang and Prince Gong were childhood sweethearts... What did he do to make Tangtang dislike him?

[Where did the female supporting character get the audacity to tell the female lead to stay away from the male lead? They're a match made in heaven. I'm speechless.]

I've already contacted customer service to report the plot inconsistencies, but they said they haven't been able to find the problem and will continue to monitor the situation.

I think it's great. What's the point of watching that brain-dead, abusive female character plot in the original novel?

Qi Yitang continued, "Cousin, I know I used to be a jerk and did a lot of bad things to you..."

"But in the two years since I entered the palace, I have witnessed the complexities of human nature and the deceit and treachery within its walls, and I have come to my senses."

"My uncle and aunt passed away early, and my cousin came to the Grand Tutor's mansion when she was nine years old. In my mother's and brother's eyes, she is no different from me. But I am already a concubine in the palace and cannot be filial to my parents... In the future, the family will need your help. Let's get along well like sisters, okay?"

Ning Nishang never imagined that Tangtang would say such a thing.

She was very open and honest with him, but if it were someone else who held a grudge, they would definitely bring up old grievances and give her a hard time.

But Ning Nishang disregarded past grievances, her eyes reddening as she grasped Qi Yitang's hand and nodded vigorously.

"it is good."

[Oh no, the female lead and the supporting female character are almost kissing!]

After the conversation was over, Qi Yitang felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders.

Great, as long as she latches onto the female lead and doesn't do anything reckless, her life is mostly saved.

However, a strange feeling welled up in Ning Nishang's heart.

She had always longed to reconcile with Tangtang and have a harmonious relationship with her sister. Why did she feel an inexplicable awkwardness and irritation now that she had achieved it?

It seems... it shouldn't be like this.

As the carriage wheels passed by, the carefully repaired hairpin was crushed to pieces.

……

Evening, at Tangli Courtyard.

Yunzhu helped Qi Yitang remove her hairpins and jewelry, while Yunying whispered, "Your Majesty, I have redeemed Miss Yueying as you instructed."

"The person has now been settled in a house in the west of the city, and a doctor has been invited to go there as well."

"Hmm." Qi Yitang nodded, but seemed somewhat absent-minded.

Ever since learning the fate of herself and her family from those golden words, Qi Yitang has had many nightmares.

Those words seemed like memories from a past life, as if they had truly happened, right before my eyes.

Qi Yitang vowed to change her family's tragic fate.

First and foremost, Xie Ling must survive. If he survives, he can protect himself, and if he survives, his whole family will not suffer.

My elder brother is now stationed on the northern frontier, and the emperor has granted him permission to return to the capital to visit relatives every two years.

Qi Yitang didn't understand the affairs of the battlefield, and the golden text didn't specify who framed his elder brother for treason and collusion with the enemy, but the key was the Battle of Po Hu, which resulted in the loss of nine cities in the northern frontier...

If we win this battle, my elder brother won't end up like that.

The only course of action now is to wait until my elder brother returns home before questioning him in detail.

As for his second brother, Qi Yitang roughly knew that he was framed for embezzling salt taxes and falsifying salt tax in the sixth year of Jinghe.

Salt and iron have always been vital to the nation, and given Xie Jingyu's determination to deal with them, my second brother has no chance of survival.

However, it is now the third year of Jinghe, so there is still a long time to go.

For now, all Qi Yitang can do is stop her fourth brother from constantly philandering. If he visits fewer places of pleasure and debauchery, he won't contract any diseases.

In the storybook, Fourth Brother contracted venereal disease from Miss Yueying at the Cuiyan Tower... That girl was also a pitiful person.

"Your Majesty?" Yunzhu called out.

Qi Yitang snapped out of her reverie. "What's wrong?"

Yunzhu asked, "This servant dares to ask Your Highness... when do you plan to return to the palace?"

Return to the palace?

Qi Yitang naturally had to return to the palace, but she had only been home for four days, and her father's illness was not yet fully recovered. Was there any need to rush her back?

She reached out and tapped Yunzhu on the forehead. "What's wrong? Have you been in the palace too long? Can't you sleep in your own bed anymore?"

Yunzhu covered the spot where she had been hit, protesting her innocence, "How could I have wanted to return to the palace? I was just..." She hesitated, then finally voiced her concern, "It's been four days, and His Majesty hasn't sent anyone to inquire about you. I'm worried..."

"What are you worried about?"

Xie Ling is the emperor, he has to attend court every day and is busy with many affairs, so it's normal for him not to pay attention to her. What's there to worry about?

It's truly a case of the emperor not being worried while the eunuch is.

Yunzhu stamped her feet, naturally worried that other concubines might take advantage of the situation during the Empress's homecoming visit!

They, the servants, had seen His Majesty's affection for the Empress, but the Empress wasn't the only concubine in the palace. Now that the Empress had left the palace and was staying at home for several days at a time, wasn't that just giving others an opportunity?

The other concubines are certainly doing their utmost to curry favor with His Majesty, just in case...

"What I wanted to ask is, don't you miss His Majesty?"

Outside the window, a dark figure that had just climbed over the wall suddenly stopped, then leaned close to the window, as if trying to hear more clearly.

Inside, Qi Yitang was slightly taken aback.

Want Xie Ling?

If time could be turned back a month or two, Qi Yitang would absolutely, certainly, and definitely give a negative answer.

She wouldn't even think of Xie Ling if she'd had her head caught in a door; she'd rather despise her.

Nowadays...

Qi Yitang still remembers their first time. She replaced the poisoned wine with an aphrodisiac, which ended up accidentally ending up in her own mouth.

From the golden text, we know that he had known about his and Xie Jingyu's "loudly plotting" to kill the emperor all along, but he kept it to himself and did not pursue the matter afterward.

Even when she was delirious and clinging to him, impatiently trying to undress him, Xie Ling still prioritized her feelings.

The next day, he was indifferent and told her to get out as soon as she woke up.

But afterwards, Qi Yitang discovered that he had applied ointment to himself.

Given Xie Ling's personality, she would never allow palace maids and eunuchs to get close to her, so... it was him who did it himself?

It's still that kind of place...

So after consummating their marriage, Qi Yitang stayed in her palace, not venturing out for many days, both to process the information in the comments and to avoid him.

So embarrassing!

Thinking about it now, I still feel embarrassed, but Qi Yitang is very stubborn and was about to reply arrogantly:

Why think about him? It won't feed you.

The live chat exploded with comments like, "[The villain actually climbed over the wall to get in? How could he be so sneaky?]"

[Hahaha, I'm truly impressed. A perfectly respectable emperor, yet he acts like a sinister voyeur.]

[The female supporting character would never actively think about the emperor. Quickly say you don't miss him, anger the emperor, and then you can proceed with the imprisonment plot. Rubbing my hands in anticipation, hehehe.]
