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

Qi Yitang's face fell instantly.

It's Xie Jingyu again.

Before I became intelligent, I wanted to find excuses to meet him every day, and even that wasn't enough.

Now, when Qi Yitang occasionally bumps into them, she finds them disgusting.

The comments section was also speechless: "Why is the male lead back again?"

[I'm even thinking of calling the police for the girl, can you please stop harassing her and ruining the harmonious atmosphere between the young couple, okay?]

[Let's forget about this kind of two-faced approach. Let's support the female lead being the only one who shines, and choose a new male lead.]

[I have a feeling that another chaotic scene is about to unfold.]

However, Xie Jingyu was still Xie Ling's elder brother in name only, so no matter how much Qi Yitang disliked him, she couldn't just turn her back and leave. She could only call out perfunctorily, "Second Brother."

She asked again, "Is something the matter?"

Across from him, Xie Jingyu was pale, his right hand in a sling in front of his chest, secured with a bandage, looking as if it were broken.

"I heard you were bullied by Consort Qin. Are you feeling better now?"

As he spoke, he stepped forward, intending to get closer and check the injury on the corner of her mouth.

Qi Yitang took two steps back. "It's just a minor injury. It will be fine in a couple of days. No need to worry."

"Tang'er, are you still angry with me?"

Xie Jingyu seemed somewhat exasperated. "Didn't you accept all the apology gifts I gave you last time? Stop making a fuss, okay?"

Who exactly is causing trouble?

He even had the nerve to say that it was because of his junk that she was brutally violated by Xie Ling, leaving her with aching legs and back for many days.

Qi Yitang was extremely impatient. She reached out and pushed Xie Jingyu away, warning him, "Don't come near me!"

"Hiss!" Xie Jingyu suddenly cried out in pain.

Qi Yitang then noticed his injury. Normally, she would have been extremely concerned, but now she only spoke with sarcasm.

"...What happened? Did you break your arm?"

Xie Jingyu seemed oblivious to the sarcasm in her words, and gave a bitter laugh. "Two days ago, my mother caught a cold, saying it was caused by an evil spirit. I went to Putuo Temple to offer incense, hoping to get a talisman for you, but I was attacked by assassins on my way down the mountain and almost lost my life."

In the past, Qi Yitang would have been extremely worried and would have served the Dowager Consort on his behalf.

But now, she doesn't want to meddle in other people's business anymore.

Seeing that Qi Yitang remained unmoved, Xie Jingyu's gaze deepened, and he continued, "Tang'er, tell me, I never make enemies, so who would target me?"

The meaning behind those words is quite obvious.

Qi Yitang looked at him strangely. How did she know? Besides, what did it matter to her whether he had enemies or not?

[The male lead is despicable; unable to harm the emperor, he targets the female supporting character, sowing discord. Fortunately, she isn't led astray.]

[The Emperor is here! Come and catch his bride!]

Qi Yitang didn't want Xie Ling to come over at all.

He disliked seeing Xie Jingyu the most. If they were caught meeting again and again, Xie Ling might kill Xie Jingyu one day if she was in a bad mood, and then make her eat barbecue...

How disgusting.

But sometimes, good things don't come true, and bad things do. You don't expect Cao Cao to appear, but he does.

Just as Xie Jingyu pulled out the amulet and said affectionately, "The palace is full of intrigue and danger, wear this amulet. If you are ever bullied in the future, and His Majesty doesn't care, your brother Yu will stand up for you,"—

[Ding! Your villain has entered the game.]

[Hahaha, the emperor's expressions are so rich, and his head is all that eerie green.]

[My god, is the male lead an award-winning actor? How can he say such nonsense and even back him up? Why is he so cruel to the female lead, both physically and emotionally? Who does he actually love?]

As the saying goes, a man is three parts drunk, and if a performance makes you cry, I think the male lead doesn't love anyone; he's purely selfish.

Qi Yitang was so startled that her vision went black.

Oh no, I've been caught again.

Li Degui also wanted to die. Why did his imperial concubine always have to "meet in secret" with Prince Gong, whom the emperor disliked?

Isn't this like plucking hairs from a dragon's rear end?

From their perspective, Prince Gong, despite his injuries, remained elegant, holding a talisman in his hand and seemingly saying something, while the Empress listened attentively.

When old lovers meet, current lovers are especially envious.

Li Degui didn't dare to look up at Xie Ling's face.

In fact, Qi Yitang didn't dare to turn around. Good heavens, she had really turned back before it was too late, but who knew that there was still a big turtle lying on the shore.

"...Tang'er, are you listening to me?" Xie Jingyu asked tenderly.

Qi Yitang took another step back, "Prince Gong, please have some self-respect. I don't need your concern."

The peace charm that Xie Jingyu handed out fell to the ground unclaimed.

The atmosphere froze subtly for a moment.

Qi Yitang turned and walked away expressionlessly, but when she saw the dark figure behind her, she pretended to be surprised and stopped in her tracks.

"Yanzhi, what brings you here?"

Xie Jingyu also saw it, his expression changed slightly, and he immediately bowed, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Xie Ling didn't look at him, but walked closer step by step, and pulled Qi Yitang into her arms as if asserting her ownership.

"Second brother, what a refined hobby! With your arm in a sling, why aren't you at home recuperating? Are you just bored out of your mind?"

Xie Jingyu's smile remained unchanged, tinged with a hint of sarcasm. "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. It's all because the fortune teller said that I am destined to be plagued by villains and need to borrow some of the true dragon's energy to exorcise them. So I thought I would come to the palace to meet Your Majesty and perhaps share in Your Majesty's good fortune."

Xie Ling scoffed, "The aura of a true dragon isn't something everyone can borrow."

"If my second brother usually does all sorts of despicable things and is haunted by evil spirits, then no fortune teller can save him."

The emperor's mouth is amazing; he's a master of witty banter.

I don't know why, but it feels so good. I hate pretentious guys.

Qi Yitang understood that they were exchanging veiled meanings, but she didn't know exactly what they were saying.

Could it really be as the comments say, that the assassin was arranged by Xie Ling...?

"What is Tangtang thinking about?" The hand around her waist tightened.

Qi Yitang snapped out of her reverie and met Xie Ling's unfathomable black eyes. She involuntarily began to speak, "Your Majesty, I was thinking of you, Second Brother..."

Upon hearing the words "Second Brother," Xie Jingyu's lips curled slightly, while Xie Ling's expression instantly darkened.

The live chat exploded: [What the heck? Are you kidding me? The female supporting character is still thinking about the male lead?]

I really want to go in there and whack her awake with a hammer!

Qi Yitang felt the large hands around her waist were about to snap her back, but she still forced herself to continue, "...If Second Brother is haunted by evil spirits, he shouldn't enter the palace anymore. I'm weak and most afraid of those unclean things."

"If I saw Prince Gong's face, I would probably be so frightened that I couldn't sleep and would have nightmares every day. Then I wouldn't be able to serve His Majesty properly."

Xie Jingyu's expression froze.

[Haha, so that's what the female supporting character was thinking. The male lead is just a clown.]

The villains are on a rollercoaster ride too, going from heaven to hell in an instant.

Xie Ling smiled slightly: "Tangtang is right. Since Second Brother is having such bad luck, it would be best for him to rest and recuperate at home."

"By imperial decree, Prince Gong has been possessed by an evil spirit, which may disturb the Empress Dowager's health. There is no harm in this—" he said, enunciating each word clearly, "He is not permitted to enter the palace."

Li Degui bowed and replied, "Yes."
