A Promotion Guide in the Harem - C144

The three of them were shocked. Could it be that Peony’s words were heard by the people outside? To insult an emperor is to kill the head.

The eight guards with sabers stood by the door like eight wooden stakes. At this time, another person slowly walked in from outside the door. The three of them looked closely and saw that it was Bai Lan. He seemed to have changed a lot. He was less arrogant and more calm. His hair was tied up in a golden crown, and his white robe fluttered in the wind. A faint smile hung on his handsome face, an unfathomable smile.

Leng Qiyue was the first to stand up and rush over, “Bai Lan, are you alright?”

Bai Lan nodded with a smile, but took a step back to avoid Leng Qiyue’s hand. She politely bowed and said, “Empress, please return to the palace.”

Leng Qiyue’s extended hand froze in midair, his estrangement deeply stabbing at her heart.

“Bai Lan, you …” Leng Qiyue opened her mouth, but didn’t know how to ask.

Bai Lan stood up and said, “Empress, the past is over.”

Leng Qiyue’s eyes dimmed, and tears began to roll down her cheeks. Was she that greedy? Enjoying Bai Lan’s love and love, yet unable to do anything for him. This time, it was because of him that Bai Lan was in trouble. Furthermore, she nearly died. Since the other party had revived, why would he think that there was anything wrong with a normal life? But why … My heart hurts … Painful…

Seeing that Leng Qiyue was crying, Peony immediately slammed the table and stood up, cursing, “Bai Lan, you heartless bastard …”

Leng Qiyue raised her head, interrupting her with a pear-filled smile, “Peony, Bai Lan is innocent. You shouldn’t have scolded him like that. “Alright, I’ll head back to the palace.”

Peony was so angry that her chest heaved up and down. Han Ruoxue hurriedly patted her back to catch her breath.

Leng Qiyue wiped her tears away and walked out. The past was over, the past was over … Were they really gone?

Bai Lan had a calm smile on his face, his eyes calm. Had he really put it all down?

Arriving at the palace gate, Leng Qiyue took a deep breath, still pretending to be a palace maid, and entered. Bai Lan did not follow them, but instead led them to the other side. Her steps were calm and graceful … Or emotionless …

Leng Qiyue gave a self-deprecating smile. She had no right to be sad. She already had a man like Dongfang Haotian, and she had never promised Bai Lan either. Therefore, she warned herself that she had no right to be sad.

Returning to the Moon Flower Hall, Leng Qiyue climbed over the wall to get in, and Die really obediently slept on the bed. She cleaned herself up and went out into the yard to sit down in a daze. Han Liu brought the tea and snacks over and said, “The Empress has returned.”

Leng Qiyue raised her head and asked in astonishment, “How did you know I was going to go out?”

Han Liu smiled and replied, “Although this servant hasn’t been following the Empress for long, this servant has seen every move of the Empress’s. “Although she can change, her eyes can’t be deceiving.”

Leng Qiyue stared at Han Liu and suddenly realized how powerful she was.

Han Liu smiled faintly. “Empress, you need not suspect this servant. This servant truly treats the Empress with respect. I only hope that esteemed wangfei will inform this servant in the future so as to not expose me.”

“Mm, got it.” Leng Qiyue’s heart was in a mess, she didn’t want to add to her worries. I’ll tell you in the future. I want to be quiet now. ”

Han Liu obediently retreated, leaving only Leng Qiyue in the courtyard. She listened to the rustling of the leaves in the wind and suddenly wanted to go back to modern times. However, she no longer had the chance. From now on, this palace was her home, and Dongfang Haotian was her backer …

“Mother …” Niu Jun hobbled over to hug Leng Qiyue’s thigh. A smile was plastered on her delicate face.

Leng Qiyue held him in her arms and smiled. “Niu Jun, you want to be Crown Prince?”

His eyes were wide, and he didn’t know what she was talking about.

Leng Qiyue giggled, “Mother is silly, you still don’t understand? Mother doesn’t know what to do now, what’s right and what’s wrong? “Nian Jun, can you tell Mother?”

Senior Servant Lan suddenly spoke up, “Empress, the First Prince is still young and doesn’t understand these things. Can I help you with your answers?” Senior Servant Lan had always refused to call herself a servant, so Leng Qiyue had allowed her to do as she pleased.

Leng Qiyue looked at Senior Servant Lan. There was a special air about her that made people feel at ease and comfortable.

“Senior Servant Lan, please sit and chat with me.” Leng Qiyue personally poured a cup of tea for Senior Servant Lan.

Senior Servant Lan didn’t hold back and sat down, even taking a sip from her teacup. Then she smiled and said, “There are many secrets in the palace. Once these secrets are unearthed, they will have the power to overturn the imperial court. However, what good will it do us if we overturn the rules of the imperial court? “No, so let them sleep.”

Leng Qiyue didn’t understand what Senior Servant Lan meant, so she asked, “What does Senior Servant Lan want to tell me?”

Senior Servant Lan smiled faintly. “Empress is a smart person. The past is the past. There’s no meaning in digging it up. We have to keep looking forward.” “Now that the emperor’s foundations are not stable, and the empress dowager is not on good terms with him, if we’re not careful, this mountain and river might change hands.”

Leng Qiyue thought for a moment before saying, “Are you saying you don’t need to care about Lin Fei’s matters?”

Senior Servant Lan shook her head and said, “It’s not just Lin Fei. Don’t waste your time on the past.” Right now, what the Empress wants to do is to help the Emperor consolidate his throne. As long as the power remains in her hands, won’t those imperial concubines fall into her hands? ”

Leng Qiyue nodded. “I understand, but I’m currently under house arrest. I don’t know what will happen when the child is born.”

Senior Servant Lan took another sip of tea and said, “If the Empress can leave the palace, what else can’t she do?”

Leng Qiyue was startled. She hadn’t thought that even Senior Servant Lan would know that she had gone out. It was unlikely that Han Liu would tell her. Did she also realize that Xiao Die was pretending to be her?

Senior Servant Lan smiled. “Empress, there’s no need to guess. Blood is thicker than water.”

When Leng Qiyue heard this, she lowered her head to look at the Nihility God Stage in her embrace. It turned out that this little thing had betrayed her. Yes, blood is thicker than water. Children do not judge people by their appearance. They can distinguish the scent of their loved ones. Unfortunately, this ability will disappear when it grows up.

“Empress.” “Senior Servant Lan suddenly opened her mouth again.” The people around you are all elites, you might as well make good use of them. ”

Leng Qiyue nodded her head, and the people from the Moonflower Palace flashed by. Han Liu’s heart was as meticulous as dust, and as bold and steady. She was simple and knew a few tricks, but it was only to tease people, so she couldn’t be of much use. Xue Ling was just a lustful fox. Her magic was slightly stronger than Xiao Die’s, but she was not reliable and could not be entrusted with any big tasks. Senior Servant Blue … A hidden master. Appraisal completed!

Senior Servant Lan saw that Leng Qiyue was lost in thought, then shook her head dejectedly and smiled, “Empress, nothing can be forced. I’ve heard that next month is the day Princess Changle enters the palace, so I don’t mind getting closer to you. If necessary, she will keep you safe. ”

Leng Qiyue raised her head and asked with a blank expression, “Who is Princess Changle?”

Senior Servant Lan said, “Princess Changle isn’t from the imperial family. We’ll start with the founding of the country.” When Senior Servant Lan saw that the water in the teacup was gone, she took up the teapot and filled it to the brim. After drinking half a cup in one go, she continued to speak, “The emperor’s adopted sister, Xiao Xue, was a heroine. Before she died, she begged the Emperor to be kind to her family and thus had a national decree. The son of the Xiao family, the prince, and the eldest daughter, the official of the country. ” Princess Changle is the only bloodline of the Xiao family in this generation, so she was conferred the title of ‘Princess’. ”

Leng Qiyue said with understanding, “I thought it was the late emperor’s orphan. So that’s how it is. How old is Princess Changle? “Married?”

Senior Servant Lan smiled. “Princess Changle is only eight years old. She should have entered the palace at the age of five, but because her mother passed away at the age of five, she stayed home to mourn for three years. Next month, she will be sent to the palace to receive education.

Leng Qiyue felt a headache. How could an eight year old child guarantee her safety?

Senior Servant Lan saw that Leng Qiyue was a bit disappointed, so she said, “Empress, don’t look down on her. I’ve met her once before, and she’s very clever.” The children of the Xiao family were given amnesty. As long as they weren’t someone who committed heinous crimes, they wouldn’t be held accountable. Fortunately, the Xiao family is weak, otherwise, there would be a few scum. ”

Leng Qiyue accepted her fate and nodded, but in her heart, she was looking forward to seeing Princess Changle enter the palace. Right at this moment, a black shadow leapt over the wall and charged straight at the two of them with a cold glint in his sharp sword …
