Empress’ Conquest - C120
“Imperial Concubine, be careful.” “Bi Xuan, are you alright?” A clear voice mixed with a hint of worry sounded from Murong Che’s lips. The first half was for the male while the second half was for a private conversation!
At this moment, the two jade pendants on their bodies were coiled around each other, and the light clashing sound was crisp and elegant, but it roused Xu Bixuan’s spirit from her trance!
Facing the woman he loved, Murong Che couldn’t hide the love in his heart no matter how much he pretended. His deep eyes were fixated on Xu Bixuan’s worried expression. His slightly knit brows already made his heart tremble.
Only now did Xu Bixuan realize how inappropriate it was for her to act so intimately towards Murong Che in this palace. Out of the corner of her eyes, she secretly peeked at Leng Ao Tian!
Sure enough, Leng Ao Tian’s face was like a sheet of ice, his dark eyes were filled with a biting cold light, and his lips were slightly pursed. In the end, he was unable to say even half a word. He was waiting! Waiting for his reaction!
“Bi Xuan thanks Your Highness for your concern!” In Murong Che’s embrace, she felt a warmth she hadn’t felt in a long time, but at the same time, she also felt a bone chilling cold. From leaving the Cold Palace to becoming a imperial concubine, just how much effort and expense did she have to spend to capture half of Leng Ao Tian’s true feelings.
Xu Bixuan was about to bend over to give her thanks, but she didn’t expect that the jade pendant on her body would end up tangled together with Murong Che. Her actions pulled Murong Che’s body closer to her, causing their intimate actions to become even more ambiguous!
“Little sister Bi Xuan, you are too negligent, aren’t you? That empty seat is on the left side, are you trying to make it to the right without thinking?!” Yo, those two jade pendants are so similar in design and color, it really looks like a pair! I heard that my younger sister was saved by His Highness the Crown Prince. I assume that the jade pendant on His Highness’ body was given by my younger sister as repayment for saving my life? Right?! ” Seeing the cold expression on Leng Ao Tian’s face and the anger that was about to appear in his dark eyes, Su Man He did not miss the opportunity to speak up. His frivolous tone carried a bit of ridicule and doubt!
She was very clear that the current Leng Ao Tian definitely wouldn’t have noticed the discomfort in her words. On the contrary, he would have taken her words to heart! Otherwise, the hand hanging below would not be clenched into a fist!
“You!” Xu Bixuan was about to retort when she saw an exquisite jade necklace appear in Su Manhe’s hands! It’s Dong’er’s! Her jade-like hand suddenly tightened as a strange light flashed through her eyes. It was as if she was a broken glass that had fallen to the ground!
However, that moment of hesitation caused Leng Ao Tian’s heart to tighten. It was as if thousands of needles had pierced into his heart at the same time. No matter how painful the pain spread to his bones, he was helpless. The two jade pendants that were entangled with each other were exceptionally dazzling in his eyes!
When she saw the bloodthirsty chill in Leng Ao Tian’s eyes, Xu Bi Xuan finally realized Su Man He’s true intentions. However, she had already lost the best opportunity to explain herself!
Since that was the case, there was no hurry to explain. Xu Bi Xuan lowered her head slightly, gently opening the entwined jade pendant, her mind thinking of the following words, it was too simple, she was afraid that Leng Ao Tian would think it was a perfunctory act, too complicated, but also afraid that Leng Ao Tian would think there was no silver here!
Hearing the hidden meaning behind Su Manhe’s words, as well as seeing Xu Bixuan’s awkward situation and the jealousy in Leng Ao Tian’s eyes, Murong Che clenched his fists as the two jade pendants separated!
“Your Majesty, Murong Che has something to say about this Imperial Concubine’s words. The jade pendant on him was given to him by my most beloved person and he has brought it with him for more than seven years. Do not ruin the innocence of others! ” Murong Che turned his gaze towards Su Man He, his face full of respect! At his side, Xu Bixuan’s eyes flashed with an undetectable trace of gratitude and eagerness. However, by doing this, he had taken Su Manhe’s intention!
“Ugh …” For the moment, chenqie spoke without restraint. If she angered His Highness, she would ask for his forgiveness. However, for His Highness to protect Imperial Concubine Xu, it seemed their friendship was extraordinary! I don’t know if Your Highness would care about mentioning the name of the woman who gave it to you, but it also lets us know which family’s girl has such good fortune to be able to receive the favor of Your Highness the crown prince! ” Su Manhe lowered her eyebrows, and when she looked at Murong Che, her gaze became even darker. Because of Murong Che’s identity, no matter which woman it was, he would not be able to share his feelings in front of everyone. This wasn’t important, what was important was what Leng Ao Tian would think!
“This is a personal matter of Murong Che, it has nothing to do with the Imperial Concubine!” Murong Che simply ignored Su Man He’s unreasonable request and turned around to look at Xu Bixuan, making a gesture of invitation!
As a man, he could see the deep meaning of the light in Murong Che’s eyes. And the two jade pendants were just as Su Manhe had said, they had the exact same design and texture as each other! Was there really a special relationship between them? Jealousy could blind a person’s eyes. They were clearly two completely different jade pendants, but in the eyes of Leng AoTian, he couldn’t tell at all!
Xu Bi was secretly depressed. Murong Che’s actions were undoubtedly to protect his reputation, but in the eyes of Leng AoTian, this was undoubtedly the most eye-piercing scenery. Looking at the icy cold eyes of Leng Ao Tian, Xu Bixuan guessed that he must be suspecting his relationship with Murong Che! Explain? It would be seen as a cover. If he didn’t explain, Xu Bixuan would have been in a dilemma. At the same time, she was also worried about Dong’er’s safety, and his mind was a mess!
His Highness the Crown Prince has a high status and is also the future king of Chu. What he loves in his heart is the future Queen of Chu. Since he is the mother of a nation, he cannot casually say his name in this kind of occasion! As for the jade pendant on Imperial Concubine Xu’s body, it was given to his by Yuerong! Not only that jade pendant, but there was also a pair of jade ears! I was afraid that I would be able to see through someone else, so I gave it along with the jade pendant to Imperial Concubine Xu when she was still a servant. It seems that there has been a period of time since then, and that jade pendant isn’t a pair either. If esteemed wangfei doesn’t believe me, I can ask the emperor to order Bi Xuan to bring out that jade jade pendant to prove that what I said was true! ” Seeing Leng Ao Tian raise her eyebrows and move her body, while Xu Bi Xuan did not seem to have any ideas on how to deal with him, Yin Yuerong suddenly stood up. Her cherry lips parted slightly, her words were firm and confident, her elegant tone was filled with determination, her eyes cold and clear as she stared into Su Man He’s furious eyes!
In the eyes of most people, it was as if they were looking forward to Su Man He’s defeat, because her arrogance had already reached the point where it would anger the gods and men. To wear a red dress and carry a phoenix hairpin in such an occasion, she truly was the mother of a nation! A small portion of them wanted to see Xu Bixuan be convicted. After all, when she was the empress, these people had once offended her! There was also a group of people who had the mindset of watching a good show. The matter had nothing to do with them, they could only stay aloof and wait with aloofness! Who won and who lost, to them, would never change! This was because they had already become the pantings of the Great Shu Palace. They had long since lost their souls.
And at this moment, the most gratified feeling was the cold arrogance of the upper class! When he heard Yin Yuerong’s explanation, the jealousy and anger in his heart disappeared, and the melancholy between his eyebrows was swept away. He did not understand the war between women, and he did not need to understand that as long as Xu Bixuan’s heart was in Big Shu and she was in Big Shu, he would not care about anything else!
“Bi Xuan thanks Zhen Fei here, but she knows it is unnecessary. Bi Xuan doesn’t explain herself, so I believe that the Emperor’s trust in Bi Xuan is the same as Bi Xuan’s loyalty to the Emperor, unwavering!” Xu Bixuan let out a long sigh of relief from the bottom of her heart. Her tense body seemed to have relaxed a little, and her beautiful eyes flashed across Yin YueRong’s elegant face, showing her endless gratitude.
“Your Majesty, chenqie came only to toast the crown prince. If it wasn’t for Your Highness saving me that day, I’m afraid that Bi Xuan would have already had her soul broken outside the palace and would never have had the chance to meet with the emperor again. However …” If esteemed wangfei feels something’s not right, chenqie can only give up! ” Xu Bi Xuan pursed her red lips into an extremely light curve, and started to move, just as she was about to return to her seat!
“Why would Bi Xuan say that? This wine is my honor!” Commendation! If there is anyone who dares to say anymore words, then return to the palace. ” Leng Ao Tian glanced at Su Man He. He suddenly felt that this woman, whose body was covered in bright red light, was becoming stranger!
“Your Majesty is too serious!” Murong Che felt that he deserved the wine, but the emperor’s magnanimity and magnanimity made him convinced. Moreover, this Imperial Concubine Zhen was magnanimous and well-spoken, so Murong Che thanked his! This wine, Murong Che respects the Emperor and Zhen Fei! ” After Murong Che finished speaking, he picked up the wine on the table and finished it in one gulp. His eyes swept over Xu Bixuan. He couldn’t let her fall into that awkward situation again!
“Good!” “I will not decline either!” In fact, Murong Che was indeed ashamed of himself. A imperial concubine in exchange for five cities was something he had earned, as well as something he had earned himself!
Xu Bixuan walked towards her empty seat, and when she passed by Su Manhe, she muttered under her breath …
“If something happens to Dong’er, I can guarantee that you’ll die a miserable death …” The cold tone carried a bone-piercing chill as it reached Su Manhe’s ears!
“What if I say she’s dead?!” Su Man let out a cold laugh, and the corner of her lips drew a ghostly curve. Her heart had long been filled with anger from Yin Yue Rong, Murong Che and Leng Ao Tian! It was as if everyone in the hall was going against her! When those bloodthirsty eyes glanced at Xu Bixuan, they emitted a dark light!
Hearing this, Xu Bixuan’s face turned pale white, her steps abruptly coming to a halt, and in a moment, she was back at her seat! No! Nothing will happen to Dong’er! The surface was calm and without ripples to cover up the raging waves in her heart!
“It’s all because Manhe deserves to die, he’s too suspicious. Please forgive him, sister. Actually, His Highness the Crown Prince is my savior. Even if my sister wants to take Dong’er away, it’s normal for a man and a woman to complain about their troubles in the imperial garden!” Su Man He knew that she had completely lost her image in Leng Ao Tian’s heart, so she decided to not take this lying down, and only had one chance. If she did not incite Xu Bi Xuan and Leng Ao Tian’s relationship today, then who knows when she would find another! If he succeeded, he would have to taste what he wanted. If he didn’t succeed, he would just be kicked out of Bin Hua Palace!
“Consort Xin!” If you continue to talk without stopping me, return to your Purple Lai Pavilion! ” Leng Ao Tian was furious, his eyes were filled with a biting cold light, but his heart was trying to understand what she had just said!
“Without any evidence, chenqie wouldn’t dare to speak carelessly of it. If Your Majesty doesn’t believe me, you can ask Imperial Concubine Xu directly!” Su Man He’s eyes were downcast, pretending to be terrified!
“Bi Xuan, is this true?” Leng Ao Tian turned to look at Xu Bi Xuan. As he recalled Xu Bi Xuan’s earlier words, ‘The Emperor’s trust in Bi Xuan is as unwavering as Bi Xuan’s loyalty to the Emperor,’ as long as Xu Bi Xuan denied it, he would believe it!
Once again, the entire venue became silent. It seemed like today’s scene was rather tortuous as it went through ups and downs! Xu Bixuan’s mind was fixated on Su Manhe’s words. She was thinking about the possibility that Dong’er would survive, but in the end, she could not deceive her. She had only humiliated Su Manhe yesterday, so if Dong’er was in her hands, there would definitely be no good outcome! Damn her, she had hurt Dong’er! Just like back when Xue Yuan and Senior Servant Gui had died, she had been rendered completely helpless.
“Bi Xuan! What’s wrong with you? Your Majesty is asking you a question?! ” Yin Yuerong’s seat was by Xu Bixuan’s side. Seeing Xu Bixuan standing there, frozen in place, as if she hadn’t heard Leng Guotian’s question, Yin Yuerong hurriedly stood up and lightly pulled Xu Bixuan.
“No matter what happens, let’s get past this first. You don’t want Su Man He to succeed in her evil scheme, right?” Hearing this, Xu Bixuan subconsciously retracted her thoughts, and a cold light appeared in her eyes. If it was as Su Man She had said, something had really happened to Dong’er, then the only thing she could do was take revenge for Dong’er! Su Manhe! Sooner or later, I will make you the same as Leng Ao Tian!
