Empress’ Conquest - C121
Under Yin Yuerong’s reminder, Xu Bixuan had regained her usual calmness. Her eyes sparkled brightly as she exposed a bloodthirsty smile while looking at Su Manhe. She then secretly took Yin Yuerong’s jade finger.
“Esteemed wangfei’s words are too serious!” Bi Xuan was the emperor’s concubine, so she was naturally loyal to the emperor. Indeed, today, Imperial Garden’s Bi Xuan was travelling on the same path as the crown prince, but it wasn’t like what Consort Xin had said! “The truth is like this. I ask that Your Majesty listen to Bi Xuan’s narration!” Xu Bixuan walked to the center of the hall, and looked at Murong Che without hesitation, then at Leng Ao Tian!
“Your majesty is enlightened. Everyone knows that Bi Xuan was saved by Your Highness the crown prince, so this morning, Zhen Fei ordered Lian’er to call Chenqie over to the Jade Moon Restaurant. She wanted Chenqie to introduce the crown prince to her, and only after asking will we find out if the princess is safe and sound in the Southern State!” When she was serving as a servant, Zhen Fei treated her courteously and even gave her a beloved gift. Thus, Zhen Fei did not decline and ordered Dong’er to pass on a message under His Majesty’s permission. When the Crown Prince found out, he happily agreed and went to the Jade Moon Restaurant to tell Zhen Fei everything he knew! “However, His Highness the Crown Prince couldn’t remember the way back to Binghua Palace because he had just entered the palace. That’s why esteemed wangfei said he was taking his time walking alone in the imperial garden!” Her clear and cold voice was like a pearl that had fallen onto a jade plate, but every word was devoid of any warmth. Xu Bixuan closed her eyes, and when she looked at Su Man She, two rays of cold light appeared in her eyes.
“If the emperor blames this concubine for acting on her own, this concubine is willing to accept the punishment. If the emperor follows esteemed imperial concubine Xin’s words and finds Bi Xuan to be disrespectful, then even if Bi Xuan were to die, she wouldn’t accept it!” Xu Bixuan knelt on the ground, looking at the cold, arrogant sky with her eyes!
“How could I blame you!?” “Bi Xuan, quickly wake up!” A hint of guilt that was hard to hide flashed across Leng Ao Tian’s eyes. He shouldn’t have suspected Xu Bi Xuan from the start! After being together for seven years, although he had never treated her well before, he had never doubted her character. Why was he so uncertain about her character now? With just a slight movement in the wind and grass, his heart was like an arrow pierced through a sieve, an empty feeling!
“What about Dong’er? Why was it Dong’er who took over the throne and you who gave it to the crown prince? Didn’t Imperial Concubine Xu feel the need to explain? Moreover, I heard that Dong’er was taken away by a man of unknown origins! Is that true?! ” Su Man’s eyes were cold as she stared at Xu Bixuan! Today, she definitely had to let Xu Bixuan have a good time!
Cold and proud, she stood up and glared fiercely at Su Manhe with her ice-cold eyes …
“Xin Fei, don’t you think that’s too much?! I originally wanted to host a banquet to entertain His Highness the Crown Prince, but you kept pressing on Bi Xuan! Are you really ignoring our existence? The whole thing was a misunderstanding, you don’t have to say anything more! ”
Seeing Leng Ao Tian’s cold eyes, Su Manhe felt as if her heart had been cut by someone. This was a man who repeatedly said that she loved her, making him wait ten years. Luckily, she wasn’t that stupid, if she really believed him, then her entire life would have been ruined!
“When the Emperor gives the phoenix imprint to Manhe, Manhe will have the responsibility to keep the imperial harem safe. Manhe will absolutely not allow anyone to sully the innocence of the Great Shu harem! As long as the emperor listened carefully, he would be able to hear the many flaws in Imperial Concubine Xu’s words! Chenqie only had one question, if Imperial Concubine Xu can prove that Dong’er wasn’t taken away by the man! Chenqie wrongly accused Imperial Consort Xu, so she will naturally hand over the Phoenix Seal! If she is unable to prove Dong’er’s whereabouts, then chenqie will ask the Emperor to abide by the imperial court’s rules and bring Xu Bixuan to justice! ” Su Manhe suddenly stood up and clenched both her hands into fists. Despite the nails digging into her flesh, she felt no pain. This time, she definitely had to overthrow Xu Bixuan! She did not care about the cold, arrogant Phoenix Seal, because in the near future, he would be nothing!
“Su-Man-He!” I hope you don’t regret it! ” At this moment, Leng Ao Tian’s heart was as cold as a pillar. For the sake of this vulgar and vulgar woman in front of him, he actually dared to harm Xu Bi Xuan for seven years! Not worth it! It really wasn’t worth it! His heart suddenly felt as if it were dripping blood. It was a tribute to his first love that had lasted for ten years. From this moment onwards, he would no longer owe Su Man He in any way!
“Absolutely!” Each word clearly showed Su Manhe’s determination! Dong’er had already died outside the palace. She wanted to see how Xu Bixuan would explain all of this!
“Bi Xuan, you heard it too. Call Dong’er over, tell her to give up!” As he turned to look at Xu Bixuan, his cold and arrogant eyes became as gentle as water.
In the middle of the hall, Xu Bixuan’s face was pale, her entire body in a deadlock, the blood in her body seemingly congealed, she had never thought that Su Man would use this move! Hand over Dong’er! She also wanted to call Dong’er out, but she was clearly in Su Manhe’s hands. Perhaps it was no longer there!
“Return… Emperor, Dong’er is bedridden with a serious illness… unconscious… “You can’t come …” Xu Bixuan’s body trembled even more, her voice somewhat absent-minded! Could it be that she had really failed this time …
Su Man He laughed coldly as a bloodthirsty cold glint appeared in his eyes.
“Since Imperial Concubine Xu has said so, Manhe wouldn’t force others to do anything. It doesn’t matter if Dong’er can’t come, we just need to send someone to investigate and we’ll know!” The corner of Su Manhe’s lips curled up as she drew out a ghost-like arc in the air. Extremely ill? Xu Bixuan, if you had just told them the truth, perhaps this matter would have turned for the better. After all, Leng Ao Tian loves you so much, yet you lied in front of everyone here. Oh, you have another sin!
“Your majesty, chenqie is willing to take this trip!” Yin Yuerong could feel Xu Bixuan’s abnormal reaction, and her heart couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat. Things shouldn’t be so simple; she knew Su Manhe, and she definitely wouldn’t place the Phoenix Seal as a wager, unless she had absolute confidence in winning!
“Slow! Imperial Concubine Zhen, everyone here can see that you and Imperial Concubine Xu have a good relationship, so, isn’t it inappropriate for you to go? For the sake of fairness, chenqie hoped that the Emperor would allow Eunuch Li to leave this place! I wonder if the emperor will agree to it?! ” A pair of cold eyes glared at Yin Yuerong, knocking Xu Bixuan down. Next is you, Yin Yuerong!
“Bi Xuan …” Leng Ao also noticed the change in Xu Bixuan’s expression and felt a little apprehensive. Could it be that everything Su Manhe had said was true?
“Xin Fei, if you say so, you can do so …” Bi Xuan also implored the Emperor to send Eunuch Li over so as to end Xin Fei’s thoughts … ” With the matter forced to this extent, Xu Bi Xuan had no way to turn the situation around. If she did not listen to Su Manhe, the situation would get even worse, and Dong’er would definitely not appear in the Yu Court. Now, all she had to do was wait for Eunuch Li’s reply! The success or failure depended solely on Eunuch Li!
“All right! Eunuch Li! Did you hear that? ” Leng Ao Tian looked at Eunuch Li with a profound look. With his many years of tacit understanding, he naturally understood what Leng Ao Tian meant!
“Your servant obeys the decree.” Just as Eunuch Li turned around, Su Manhe suddenly opened her mouth …
“Little Peach Blossom, the outside is as black as ink. For Eunuch Li, his age, I’m afraid it’ll be inconvenient for you. Go and direct the lights for Eunuch Li, don’t neglect any of this.” How could Su Man He not think of the tricks Leng Ao Tian had up his sleeve, wanting to do something to Eunuch Li! Heh! However, he didn’t know that she had a backup plan!
Leng Ao Tian’s cold eyes shot towards Su Man He. He never thought that this woman was so scheming. He could not help but think of Xia Yan’er’s heart-wrenching roar!
‘Chenqie is wronged! “It’s all Su Manhe. She’s the one who’s been thinking about Xu Bixuan’s death.”
Looking at Su Man He, Leng Ao Tian secretly told himself that if he found out that she was the culprit, he wouldn’t care about his past feelings! He must seek justice for Bi Xuan! As for this matter, not to mention that Dong’er would be fine, even if it was as Su Man He had said, he would not let Xu Bi Xuan suffer even the slightest bit of grievance. Even if he failed to trust the people of this world, he, Leng Ao Tian, would never let Xu Bi Xuan down again!
At this moment, as Xu Bixuan watched Eunuch Li and Little Peach Blossom walk out of Bin Hua Palace, her body swayed slightly. Luckily, Yin Yuerong stepped forward to support her, preventing her from falling down and falling down …
“Bi Xuan, what’s wrong with you today? “Could it be that something really happened to Dong’er?” Yin Yuerong pursed her lips, her eyes filled with worry!
“Dong’er …” “He was killed by Su Manhe outside the palace …” Her crystal clear eyes were filled with tears. Xu Bixuan tried her best not to let it fall, but her heart was as cold as a freezing pond thrown tens of thousands of feet away!
“Wh …” “What?!” Yin Yuerong’s body trembled, but she recovered very quickly, “No wonder she is so sure!” Bi Xuan, now is not the time to be sad. If something happens to you, then Dong’er will be in the underworld! We need to think of a way to deal with this! ” Yin Yuerong took a deep breath, trying her best to calm down. She looked in the direction of Eunuch Li and Little Peach Blossom. It was easier said than done.
The cold winter night always gave people an abnormal feeling of tranquility and silence. After waiting for a few hours, Chu Jian’s expression had aged quite a bit, as he walked step by step towards the temple of a city god. Her heart was filled with terror, not because he was afraid of looking at the lone fox, but rather because she was afraid of the slightly injured Dong’er!
“Mmm mmm …” Suddenly, a faint sound of sobbing could be heard from the left side of the forest. It was as if Chu Chen’s heart had been emptied out. She stomped her feet forcefully and walked into the depths of the forest!
At the top of the tree, the white silhouette hung there like a lone leaf, swaying! Under the moonlight, her delicate and innocent face had turned pale. As the cold wind blew, her black hair fluttered in the wind, making her look even more desolate!
“Dong’er.” The anxious voice had lost all fear. The moment he had seen Dong’er, the blood in Chu Jian’s body had frozen over, and her entire body had become bone-chillingly cold! In the next second, Chu Jian flew into the air without any hesitation!
Seeing that Chu Jian was getting closer and closer to his, Dong’er shook his head even more violently, and tears began to flow from the corners of his eyes!
“Mmm mmm …” However, no matter how Dong’er shook her head, she did not change Chu Jian’s decision. He was like a flying moth to a flame, not even turning back despite knowing that there was a trap!
“Swish.” A sharp arrow shot toward Chu Jian when she was almost upon Dong’er, causing him to dodge nimbly! The second, third, and fourth arrows began to rain down upon Chu Jian!
Just a little more and Dong’er would have been saved from the tree by him. The flexible sword in Chu Jian’s hand quickly moved to block the arrows, and with a crackling sound, sparks flew in every direction as the flames illuminated Chu Jian’s handsome face. Her eyes were as unshakeable as an iceberg!
Seeing the dangerous situation Chu Jian was in, Dong’er could only shake her head and stop her tears. She wanted to speak, but she could only make muffled sounds!
Just as Chu Jian’s hand was about to touch Dong’er’s shoulder, a sharp arrow pierced through his defenses and into his left shoulder! Fresh blood gushed out from the wound and drenched Chu Jian’s robe!
