Hard to Get: Charming Abandoned Empress - C67
After hearing her master’s question, Little Peach Blossom remembered what she had wanted to return. If it wasn’t for the unexpected news disturbing her mind, she wouldn’t have needed her master to ask first.
I just heard from an eunuch that Senior Servant Feng, Little An, and Dong’er were all confined within the Yu Court. Ying`er was one of them, saying that it was because of Eunuch Li’s intentions that, firstly, the Jade Pavilion was sealed off, and there was nowhere for Ying`er to be accommodated. Secondly, she was considered to be the most important witness in this matter. Little Peach Red reported truthfully. She could not help but feel worried.
“That’s not right?” Did Eunuch Li not send anyone to find you? ” Su Manhe did not expect Leng AoTian to move so quickly. It seemed like this Ying’er would have to be eliminated!
“No!” “This servant thinks that when something happened, this servant might have run out. When the emperor and Eunuch Li arrived, they didn’t see this servant at all. In addition, those people didn’t pay much attention to this servant, so I was lucky enough to escape this calamity!” Little Peach Red said what she thought
“Maybe! However, you can’t be careless, be careful in all matters. As for that Ying’er, find another opportunity! “Right now, the most important thing for you is to send the note out!” In Su Manhe’s eyes, Ying’er was not important. After all, she was Xia Yaner’s man, and even if she were to accuse him, she would be able to shield him. However, she had always done things without any future troubles, so her future had long been set in stone!
Empress, this servant doesn’t understand one thing. Why would the emperor hand the phoenix seal over to Imperial Consort Zhen?” “Then would Imperial Concubine Zhen provoke us if she obtained power?” In contrast, Little Peach Red’s thoughts were limited to this!
“Humph!” Why didn’t I see that within this harem, there is someone who dares to challenge my Purple Lai Pavilion! Leng Ao Tian gave the phoenix imprint to Yin Yuerong, this is very normal, given my current situation, it is indeed difficult for me to control the phoenix imprint, on the contrary, it has helped me greatly, if the phoenix imprint is in my hands, then if something happens to Ying’er, wouldn’t I be the most suspicious?! As for Yin Yuerong, she was just a timid person! Don’t worry about her! Do your own thing! “Let’s go down!” Su Manhe’s cherry lips slightly pursed. The Phoenix Seal would sooner or later become her possession, so why fight for it now!

“Is there a problem with the Phoenix imprint? Why does the Empress keep staring at it? ” It had already been an hour, and Lian’er really didn’t understand. It was just a dead object, how could it be worth Master’s careful observation?
“The problem isn’t the Phoenix Seal!” While she was not one of them, she was not one of them. Now that the phoenix imprint that everyone was coveting had fallen from the sky, who knew how many more troubles it would bring, but for Yin Yuerong, this was still easy to deal with. Now, she was even more worried about Xu Bixuan’s life and death!
“Empress, you mean this matter is strange?” This servant also feels that it might not be a good thing for this Phoenix Seal to come to our Jade Moon Restaurant! ” In comparison, Lian’er was much more intelligent than the other concubines’ personal maidservants. Indeed, he was the nearest of them all!
“That’s alright, what I’m thinking is about Your Excellency Yu’s poison, in my opinion, Xia Yan’er is definitely not the murderer!” Yin Yuedao wrapped the phoenix imprint in front of her and passed it to Lian’er.
“Shh …” “Esteemed wangfei, you can’t speak carelessly like that. If this gets out, it will bring about trouble!” Lian’er agilely turned her head and glanced towards the palace gate a few times before turning around.
Seeing how cautious Lian’er was, Yin Yuerong knew that all these years, she had always been like this. It seemed that Lian’er had completely inherited her legacy! However, things were different now, her heart had completely changed the moment her daughter got married. In this harem, the strong preyed on the weak, and the victors; she herself was exhausted and meticulous, never involved herself in any harem strife, never seeking for the emperor’s favor, yet this cowardly life was still trampled under her as a stepping stone! She was going to vent her anger. She would do it for her daughter!
“Your Majesty’s Li Palace, the Phoenix Seal is in my hands again. At this time, who would come and cause trouble for me?!” “Heh.” Yin YueRong smiled lightly, but it was not enough to reach her heart.
“Your Majesty’s Li Palace?! Isn’t it supposed to be a serious illness? ” The copper bell-like eyeballs rolled in their sockets. Lian’er looked at Yin Yuerong with a puzzled expression.
“Do you believe me …” Yin Yuerong picked up the teacup beside her and took a sip. The aroma was rich and refreshing, the sweet and mellow scent of tea lingered in her nose. She put down the teacup and wiped her cherry red lips with a taunting smile!
Lian’er abruptly opened her small mouth, gasped and walked to Yin Yuerong’s side with small steps.
“Your Majesty’s Li Palace?! It can’t be because of Xu Bixuan, right? ” It was not a secret that Xu Bixuan had been kidnapped by some strange poison. It was normal for Lian’er to have this question.
“What do you think!?” “Now, I can only hope that Xu Bixuan will be able to make her fortune, but in my opinion, she will not die so easily!” Her voice was bland and contained a trace of expectation. Yin Yuerong sincerely prayed that Xu Bixuan would be safe and sound.
“That can’t be, that is a falling goose!” “Death at the entrance!” Lian’er, on the other hand, didn’t think so. She had never heard of anyone who could survive after taming the Wild Goose Falling Sand!
“There are two words in this world called miracles! Forget it, let’s think about how we can find out about the poison first! ” Yin Yuerong pursed her lips, but not everyone could encounter such a miracle!
“Esteemed Empress, there are naturally people who want to know about the matter of the Leaning Feather Pavilion. Why do we have to be involved in this mess?” For example, last time, she had clearly never been to the Cold Palace forest garden, nor had she seen Xu Bixuan’s sacrificial offering, but Master had pretended to be panicking to lure the imperial concubine. Lian’er still had not figured out what her master wanted to do.
“It’s not that I want to run, it’s that someone has already pushed me into the water. Do you remember that bowl of lotus seed congee? ” Yin YueRong’s eyebrows slightly raised while her pupils suddenly contracted. She glanced over at Ji Hao with a cold look on her elegant face.
“I remember, didn’t they say that the emperor was the one who had shown compassion to the concubines for many days and gave them special treatment for the empress dowager’s Hundred Day Sacrifice?” Right, last time Lian’er saw you drink it all out again? At that time, this servant even thought that something was wrong with your stomach! ” Lian’er’s memory of that bowl of porridge was still fresh in her mind!
“When have you ever seen our emperor so concerned about his imperial concubine?” Even if he did care, he wouldn’t focus on the food! At that time, although I had my suspicions, I didn’t think too much about it. It was just that I didn’t have any appetite. Yin Yuerong’s eyes shone with a dark light as she slowly put down the teacup.
“Yeah!” Didn’t she come to deliver the snow hairpin? What does that have to do with that porridge? ” The more Lian’er listened, the more confused she became.
Yin Yuerong lowered her eyes and said blandly.
“Don’t you think that with my relationship with Imperial Concubine Xin, she would give me a snow hairpin? Isn’t that suspicious?” The moment Little Peach Red arrived, she stared at the lotus congee. No matter how I hinted at her, she wouldn’t leave. She only left after I drank that bowl of lotus congee, as if she was relieved of a heavy burden! So, there must be something fishy about the porridge, and I believe that the mastermind behind the whole thing must be Su Manhe! She sent Little Peach Red over to confirm that I had drunk the bowl of porridge. As for Xia Yan’er, she was only a sword between Su Manhe and Xu Bixuan, and Su Manhe would occasionally stab Xu Bixuan with it, and Xu Bixuan would occasionally hold onto her sword to counterattack! “However, a pitiful person must have something to hate. Now, Xia Yan’er’s good days have come to an end!” At this moment, Yin Yuerong felt some sympathy for Xia Yaner. She had also verified that this brainless person was at the mercy of others!
“So that’s how it is …” “Right, Lian’er heard that Imperial Concubine Di from Xuanhua Palace didn’t get a drink of lotus seed porridge yesterday. It looks like not all consorts will get a share either!” Lian’er suddenly realized something, but she was still a little afraid.
“Therefore, all of the imperial concubines or talents sent to the porridge are targets that Su Manhe preempted. I was among them. Since I was pushed into the water, I could only desperately charge forward or else I would never be able to recover!” Yin Yuerong’s eyes shone with a sharp light. Even without Xu Bixuan, she might not have lost to Su Manhe!
“Then… “Then what do we do now?” Lian’er’s voice trembled. If what Master said was true, Manhe would definitely be a ruthless character.
“Now?!” Right now, the most important thing for us to do is to ensure that the people from the Pinnacle Feather Pavilion are still alive. After witnessing the whole matter, no matter how meticulous our calculations are, we will still find some clues! ” Yin Yuerong had no doubt about her guess. She had expected Su Manhe to take action.
“Then should we go to the Yu faction and check it out?” Even though Lian’er had said the most direct method, it was also the least effective.
“Don’t! We just have to wait and see! Alright, hurry up and put away the phoenix imprint! We still have a lot to do! ” Yin Yuerong could see the worry in Lian’er’s eyes. She was afraid that she would be frightened if she said it again. In the past, Yin Yuerong only wanted to protect herself, but now, she was going to take the initiative!
The night was as thick as ink and pitch black. The crescent moon looked like an eyebrow as it sank down very early. The scenery on the ground was blurry and hard to distinguish. A figure dressed in white swayed back and forth in the ruined temple on the outskirts of the city.
“Little Peach Blossom!” Along with the cold voice, a beautiful scene suddenly flashed in the dark night, cutting through the silent night sky.
“Azure Dragon Messenger, you’re finally here!” This, my master told me to give it to you! Say it’s extremely important, and keep it well! We must personally hand it over to Pavilion Master! ” Little Tao Hong raised her eyes when she heard that, but the green dragon was already standing in front of her.
“The Pavilion Master has come, and it’s you who’s personally handed it to him!” “Follow me!” The Azure Dragon turned around and walked into the broken temple, followed by Little Peach Blossom!
“This subordinate has already brought Little Peach Blossom here!” The green dragon’s face was expressionless. After kneeling down respectfully, he stood up and moved to the side!
Seeing the figure that stood with her hands together, Little Peach Red kneeled down fiercely. Her whole body couldn’t help but tremble as she slowly raised the word ‘paper’ in her hands above her head!
“Little Peach Blossom greets Pavilion Master. This is the letter that Master wanted me to hand to you. This is a very important matter, please have a look!” In fact, it was not the first time Little Peach Blossom had met Li Ao Yu. In the old residence outside Su Man’s palace, Li Ao Yu would go there every once in awhile, but every time she saw him, Little Peach Blossom would feel a cold current surging through her body, causing her to feel chilled to the bone. She didn’t know why, but she felt that Li Ao Yu’s body would always exude that kind of seductive, demonic aura.
With a casual shake of her elegant cloak, she left a graceful arc in the air. In a situation where Little Peach Blossom was unconscious, Li Ao Yu had already moved in front of her like a lightning bolt.
At this moment, his charming and handsome face was completely emotionless. If one were to say the similarities between him and Leng Ao Tian, it would be the natural domineering aura of a king. Just kneeling in front of him, Little Peach Blossom could already feel the suffocating pressure!
Just like a light breeze, the letter in Little Peach Blossom’s hand had already landed in Li Aoyu’s hand …
Little Peach Red was slightly afraid as she kneeled on the ground, waiting for Li Ao Yu’s instructions. She would occasionally raise her eyes, but when she touched Li Ao Yu’s ice-cold face, she retracted them!
