Empress’ Conquest - C117
“Perhaps …” Murong Che quickly strode over to Xu Bixuan’s side. With a thin smile on her face, the tender affection in her eyes gradually faded away.
In the cold wind, the two of them walked in silence. Neither of them raised their eyes to look at each other, neither of them said a word, because they were already in each other’s hearts. He understood her, and a deep hatred was like a thorn in the bottom of his heart. No one could remove it except himself, and she knew that he understood her. If anyone in this world told her that they felt the same, it would be him! Only those who had experienced the same heart-wrenching pain were qualified to say these four words!
In the dark, Little Peach Blossom witnessed everything. Although she didn’t know if this counted as an anomaly from her master’s words, it was still better than nothing!
Zilai Pavilion
Su Man tightly gripped the silk handkerchief as her lips drew a sinister arc. Her eyes abruptly shot towards Little Peach Blossom!
“Did you see it with your own eyes?!” Xu Bixuan! The deep voice was bone-chilling. You are so doting that you actually dare to make eye contact with the Crown Prince of the Great Chu in the imperial harem of the Shu Dynasty! Heh! No matter what your relationship is, I will make Leng Ao Tian believe that there is a conflict between you! Even if he doted on you, she wouldn’t be willing to wear a green hat without a care! I said it before, today’s humiliation will be returned a hundredfold!
“In reply to the Empress! Your servant is right! Although they didn’t do anything excessive on the way, the two of them walked from the Imperial Garden all the way to the Leaning Feather Pavilion. “I believe they should be very familiar!” Although Little Peach Blossom was speaking the truth, she had to add some embellishments that Su Man loved to listen to, or else she would be scolded again!
“Ha!” Well done! Tonight, I want Xu Bixuan to look good! ” The hatred accumulated over the past few days flowed out of Su Man He’s face without any concealment. Her originally beautiful and delicate face was now distorted like a demon from hell, making people tremble with a single glance. Of course, only Little Peach Blossom could enjoy such honor!
“Empress …” “At night…”
“Leng Ao Tian will be inviting Crown Prince Chu in the evening. All of the imperial concubines will be present! When the time comes, you can just wait and see a good show! “Hahaha …” When the Shura’s face and the ghostly tone were all gathered on a single person, who would ever say that she was a person of flesh and blood?
As a bystander, she had witnessed Su Manhe’s glory step by step, but she had also witnessed her defeat step by step. Especially in the slave teaching room today, Xu Bixuan had actually forced her to kowtow, which was undoubtedly worse than death for her master. Little Peach Blossom was afraid of Su Manhe’s vengeful heart, so she had counterattacked without proper consideration! She was humiliated instead! Naturally, Little Peach Blossom was not as loyal as she was. What she was afraid of was that once Su Man She was found guilty, she could forget about standing here breathing!
“Empress, this servant also discovered another thing!” Seeing that Su Man He’s expression had stabilized, Little Peach Red dared to speak.
“Speak!” Her voice was still cold, her gaze still cold. Right now, Su Manhe’s mind was filled with the scene of kneeling down to Xu Bixuan. His heart felt like it had been slashed by a knife, but she felt no pain!
“This servant also saw a man dressed like a guard bringing Dong’er away in front of Xu Bixuan. They were too far away, and this servant didn’t hear what they said. However, the direction they were looking at should be towards the Imperial Palace!” Thinking of Dong’er’s happy smile, Little Peach Blossom couldn’t help but feel envious. Ever since she entered the palace, she had never felt at ease with her smile again. The days here had pressured her to the point where she couldn’t breathe!
Is that so?” Dong’er? Xu Bixuan was really bold. She dared to secretly release a palace maid, and she was a man at that! Heh! The heavens are on my side! Leave the palace immediately and report this to the pavilion master. If possible, let him eliminate Dong’er before it gets dark! “She’s Xu Bixuan’s maidservant. If she died, Xu Bixuan would feel a little bit sorry for her!” The corner of Su Man He’s mouth curved into a ghostly smile, and his eyes became cold!
“Yes …” When Little Peach Red heard this, she turned around and left the Purple Lai Pavilion!
As soon as Xu Bixuan walked into the hall, back at the Feathered Pavilion, she immediately went up to greet him.
“Bi Xuan, where did you go?!” “Just now, Eunuch Li sent a message to the emperor, saying that all imperial concubines will be attending tonight’s banquet to invite the Crown Prince. You are no exception, because we did not dare to say much about what happened last time and did not know if you would go, so …” Even though he had spent some time with Xu Bixuan, she was still unable to see through her thoughts, and even more so did not dare to make his own decisions!
“Ha!” The last time was last time, so I will accept any imperial edict from now on! “Oh right, Feng mama, prepare a simple set of makeup for me. I’m a bit tired, I need to rest!”
As she watched Xu Bixuan slowly walk into the inner room, a trace of doubt appeared on Senior Servant Feng’s face. Why would Bi Xuan give such instructions for such a grand banquet? Every consort would definitely try their best to dress up for it. Heh! Why was he thinking so much! She had her own thoughts!
The winter sun was as weak as the moon. Even though it was noon and the sun was shining brightly, he could not feel the slightest bit of warmth!
“Dong’er!” Didn’t you say earlier that you were going to buy a hairpin for Sister Bi Xuan? In front of us is the place where jewelry is sold. Chu Jian raised his eyebrows, the gentle light in his eyes fell on Dong’er’s face! At this moment, Dong’er had completely lost her previous jubilation and jubilation. On the contrary, she still felt a bit depressed …
“Ugh …” Great … Big Brother Chu, why don’t you help me buy it? I… I will stand here and wait for you! ” Dong’er looked up with a pleading look at Jian Chen.
“What’s wrong? Dong’er! Are you okay? ” Sensing Dong’er’s strange behavior, Chu Jian’s eyebrows furrowed together. She placed his hand on her forehead, she did not feel sick!
“I’m fine …” But… “I’m just a little hungry …” Dong’er lowered her gaze, occasionally glancing at the crowd.
“Ah!” Look at me, I almost forgot the time. Let’s go, I’ll bring you to the most delicious restaurant in the Imperial City! I guarantee that it will taste better than the food in the palace! ” He did not know why, but although he had not spent much time with Dong’er, Chu Chen felt that he had never cared for her so much before. Her every action and smile was constantly affecting his heart! He had thought that after being an emissary for such a long time, his heart had long since stiffened. However, now he realized that when he was facing Dong’er, his heart was actually burning like a flame.
“Hm!” Good! Big Brother Chu, that … “Then you will lead the way, and I will follow you!” Dong’er forced out a smile, covering the loneliness in her eyes!
“Why?!” There’s a lot of people here. If you get lost, your Big Sister Bi Xuan will kill me! “Let’s go!” With a smile on his face, Chu Jian took Dong’er’s small hand into his own and shook it off in the next moment.
“Still no! I… I like looking at your back! How tall! “Haha …” Dong’er’s actions caused Chu Jian to be startled, but she had no idea what he was thinking. However, he still followed Dong’er and walked slowly in front!
Dong’er only stood up when she saw Chu Jian Chen walk a few steps away! At this moment, she heard those noisy voices that she had heard the moment she entered the busy city …
Dong’er walked on the street, allowing those heartless words to strike at her heart, but her eyes were filled with tears!
“Look!” The little girl’s legs! Alas, she was quite pretty! “What a pity!”
“Ya!” How can you walk like this?! Her parents were serious. If she had a broken leg, she shouldn’t be allowed to walk around! How dangerous! If something really does happen, you won’t even be able to run away! ”
“Not bad, but these two legs …” “It’s a pity that the cloth is so good. If it were on my body, it would definitely be beautiful …”
Tears welled up in Dong’er’s eyes. She thought that she had learned how to ignore the gazes of others, but she had always been deceiving herself. The moment these exposed words reached her ears, her heart ached and she even started to hate herself! If she did not go with Chu Jian Chen, she would lose face for him. She did not want the people on the streets to point fingers at him!
Suddenly, a pair of snow-white boots appeared in front of his eyes, blocking Dong’er’s path. His eyes slowly raised up as boundless love and love flickered within them!
“Big Brother Chu …” You… Why did you turn back… Stay away from me… Don’t walk with me… “I will make you lose face …” Her young and tender voice was choked with sobs as her hands tried to wipe away the tears flowing from her eyes. She wanted to push away Jian Chen, but she couldn’t!
“I don’t want to embarrass you… Big Brother Chu … Go away! I … I… “I’m a cripple …” Tears rolled down her face again. Dong’er stood there dejectedly. He covered her face with his hands as tears flowed down through his fingers!
“Dong’er …” Chu Jian pulled Dong’er into his embrace, his eyes beginning to mist over. He had never felt such heartache before!
After a long while, Dong’er finally stopped crying. Seeing how her tears had soaked Chu Jian’s chest, she couldn’t help but lower her eyes, feeling an indescribable sense of guilt.
“Stop crying!” Dong’er, why do you care what others say? When they see you today, perhaps tomorrow they will forget that in their eyes, you are just a irrelevant person! Do you think it’s worth it to be sad at their words?! And I still have your Big Sister Bi Xuan, Little An, and Senior Sister Feng. In our eyes, you are the purest and kindest, and in this world, there is no one more perfect than you! Therefore … Instead of crying for those who have nothing to do with it, why not laugh for yourself, laugh for us! Right? ” As Chu Jian looked at Dong’er, her eyes began to shine with a brilliant light! No matter what others thought of Dong’er, in his heart, she was one of a kind! That’s enough!
Hearing Jian Chen’s words, Dong’er wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. Staring at Chu Jian, she fiercely nodded her head. Her lips moved slightly, revealing her white teeth, tears turning into smiles!
“This is Dong’er!” Come, let’s go eat something delicious! I don’t care about the looks in the eyes of those people! ” Clutching Dong’er’s hand, Chu Jian began to walk towards the Drunken Wind Dining Hall!
In the dark, a pair of hands clenched into a fist, the corner of his lips curving into a cold and charming arc! Chu Jian! Do you also have a woman you love? Great! I can finally give you a taste of the pain of losing your lover! Hehe …
“Azure Dragon!” That’s Dong’er? Wasn’t the person beside her Leng Ao Tian? “Looks like this matter is very troublesome!” With the protection of the imperial guards, killing Dong’er wouldn’t be that easy!
