Evil King’s Favorite Consort - C161

The reason why Consort Li vaguely said that Mu Qianyu had entered the Xiyan Lake was so that she could search the entire place.

She thought that Mu Qianyu must have detected something when she went in, so she hid somewhere to not be discovered.

If they sent someone to search, they would be found out.

Hearing that, the Emperor Jing frowned, and ordered Yuan De: “Bring the people inside and take a look.”

Although he did not see anyone just now, he was worried that Mu Qianyu would barge in.

“You get up first.”

Looking at the woman who was kneeling on the ground wearing a crescent phoenix tail skirt with a picturesque appearance, Emperor Jing suddenly thought of something and lightly said.

Consort Li was indeed not bad. Her delicate face, mature charm, and charming expression were indeed alluring.

Although he was around 30 years old, he looked to be around 25 or 26 years old because of his good maintenance.

It was just that Emperor Jing had always been indifferent towards her.

With the support of a servant girl, Consort Li stood up and waited respectfully at the side.

After waiting for a long time, Yuan De brought some people out, and said to Emperor Jing. “Reporting to your majesty, Third Miss is not inside, and there’s no one else.”

“How could that be?”

When he heard that, the Consort Li muttered. He looked at Yuan De and said, “Eunuch De saw it clearly. Look carefully?”

There was a hint of a question in his words.

Although it was the old man beside Emperor Jing, Yuan De was not annoyed. He nodded and replied respectfully: “This servant indeed did not see Third Miss, just now the Empress also said that the palace maids disappeared once they arrived at Third Miss, but Third Miss might not have gone to the Xiyan Lake, or might have gone to some other place.”

This was not only towards the Xiyan Lake.

“But …”

Consort Li was a little dissatisfied. That girl had obviously gone in, and then the Emperor had gone in. There was no way she could escape.

It must be because Yuan De did not properly search and fooled him.

“Your Majesty, chenqie’s palace maid has indeed seen the third girl entering her Xiyan Lake, so please call someone to look for her.”

She had already summoned Mu Qianyu into the palace, she did not want to lose this chance.

What’s more, this was the empress’s intention.

“Consort Li, you just said that the three girls disappeared when they got here, why did you suddenly say that she really did enter the Xiyan Lake? What exactly is going on?”

When Emperor Jing just came out of the Xiyan Lake, he wasn’t in a great mood, yet he still kept ramming into the muzzle of the spear.

“Your Majesty, please forgive me. Chenqie’s palace maid did indeed see the third girl entering the Xiyan Lake from afar, but because the emperor ordered her to and didn’t dare to rush in, she went to report to chenqie. Chenqie heard that the emperor was present, so she waited here, but unexpectedly, the emperor didn’t see the third girl, so she thought it was strange. It’s just that chenqie didn’t dare to say it just now, and was worried that the emperor might be angry.”

Consort Li clenched her teeth, and directly jumped out, saying that the little girl saw Mu Qianyu go in.

was for the sake of searching through the Xiyan Lake again.

“Alright, I’ll go and take a look.”

Emperor Jing was a little angry, but he did not want anyone else to casually enter the Xiyan Lake, so he personally went in to look around.

Naturally, he still couldn’t find him.

Thus, when Emperor Jing came out of the Xiyan Lake, he saw that Emperor Jing’s face was frighteningly cold, and his entire body was filled with anger.

Rage wasn’t something to be happy about.

“Huang …” “Your Majesty …”

Consort Li was so scared that her voice started to tremble.

“Consort Li, what are your intentions? Why can’t I see anyone inside even if I personally went to look for you?”

Emperor Jing shouted angrily at Consort Li.

Consort Li was so scared that she kneeled on the ground and said, “Your Majesty, the third girl is indeed …”

“Your servant greets the Emperor.”

Before Consort Li could finish her sentence, Lan Zhi came over.

“Your majesty, our master has sent a servant to inform the Consort Li that the Third Miss has lost her way when she entered the palace.” Your majesty, our master has sent a servant to inform the Consort Li that the Third Miss has lost her way when she entered the palace.

As soon as Lan Zhi finished speaking, Consort Li’s face instantly became incomparably pale. She could not help but mutter, “How could that be? Didn’t the third girl enter the Xiyan Lake? Why did she go there?”

“Consort Li, what are you doing, or are you saying that you really wish for the three girls to enter Xiyan Lake? Aren’t you her aunt by blood, do you want her to die by doing this?”

Consort Li had always insisted that Mu Qianyu had entered the Xiyan Lake.

Isn’t it just a dead end what happens when you enter Xiyan Lake?

Emperor Jing was not confused, when he thought about it carefully, he felt that something was amiss.

“Your majesty, chenqie didn’t. Perhaps chenqie’s maid’s eyesight was mistaken, but chenqie doesn’t dare to disobey the sacred decree, and is afraid that the three maidservants have really entered the Xiyan Lake. That’s why I asked your majesty to investigate this a few times.”

In the end, Consort Li was someone who had stayed in the palace for more than ten years.

His reaction was quite quick, and he hurriedly tried to defend himself.

“Just a small matter caused you to cause such a commotion. How did you train the maidservants by your side?”

The Emperor Jing chided unhappily and left with a flick of his sleeve.

Although he did not punish Consort Li severely, just by being like this, Consort Li had lost face. It was very likely that this matter would become a joke in the palace again.

When Consort Li regained her senses, she immediately ran towards the Wan-Shuang Palace in a rage.

That little girl clearly escaped with her Xiyan Lake, she didn’t believe that she wouldn’t be able to find any clues.

Therefore, Mu Qianyu drank a few mouthfuls of tea and spoke to Xian Consort.

Her aunt, Consort Li came to look for her.

However, even though Consort Li was one of the Four Concubines, she was still ranked behind Xian Consort and Huifei.

His family background was not as illustrious as the Xian Consort.

Thus, in front of the Xian Consort, the Consort Li was still a lower grade.

Xiao Chengyi was not present, so he could not get involved with the woman’s topic. He took a sip of tea and went to see the empress dowager.

“Greetings to big sister Xian Consort.”

In just a few short words, Consort Li no longer had her sorry state from before.

“Greetings to the Consort Li Empress.”

Mu Qianyu also stood up and bowed.

This was, after all, the imperial palace, so he had to be courteous.

“Sister, you are here. Take a seat.”

Xian Consort smiled indifferently, her expression normal.

After telling Consort Li to sit down, she personally pulled Mu Qianyu’s hand and sat in front of him, showing off her intimacy level.

“This must be the third girl. We haven’t seen each other for more than ten years, and in the blink of an eye, she has become a big girl.”

After the Consort Li sat down, she began to seriously size Mu Qianyu up, and said with a smile that did not reach his eyes, “Her appearance is somewhat similar to your mother.”

Thinking about the Madame Yun made her feel rustic.

How could a daughter of a small family marry into the Minister Mansion?

Death was also a good thing, as it saved him the embarrassment of being in Minister Mansion.

Mu Qianyu could obviously tell that the tone of the latter half of the sentence was a little off.

She lightly glanced at Consort Li, but didn’t have any expression, and only said: “It’s been a long time since I last saw the Empress, so I really can’t remember.”

Cai’Er stood by Consort Li’s side, her head lowered as she said something.

Consort Li took a sip of tea and laughed: “Third sister’s clothes seems to be made by the embroidery lady of the palace.”

The meaning behind his question was very clear. Why did he change his clothes?

Xian Consort laughed: “It is indeed so, it was originally prepared for my niece, but just now when Han Zhi was drinking the tea, she accidentally wet the clothes of the three little girls, I let her change it, I did not expect it to fit her well.”
