Hard to Get: Charming Abandoned Empress - C76
Xu Bixuan understood the meaning behind Luo Jinye’s words. He thought it through so thoroughly that Xu Bixuan couldn’t help but feel grateful.
“Thank you!” Even with a thousand words, he could only say thanks!
“People always use gold to thank me, but you?” Luo Jingye bent his body slightly and looked at Xu Bixuan, the light in her eyes still gentle as before.
“I… “I …” Xu Bixuan was at a loss for words. What did she have? Other than hatred, she had nothing!
“You must be joking!” I don’t want you to thank me. Rest well, I’ll get you some medicine! ” Luo Jinye tucked Xu Bixuan’s blanket in, smiled lightly and turned to enter the room!
As he watched the white figure slowly fade away from his sight, his eyes were like smoke that enveloped him. He indifferently looked at his fingertips and gently curled his fingers before sinking into deep thought …
Yi Yu Shu
“Feng mama, it’s been so many days and there’s still no news from Big Sister Bluelily, could it be …” These days, the Leaning Feather Pavilion had been surrounded by imperial guards. Aside from the three meals that had been delivered, no one had been able to come in, and no one had been able to go out.
“No news is the best news, we can only wait!” Dong’er, go and get some things for Ying’er, she must be terrified! ” Seeing Ying’er shriveled up in a corner, Senior Servant Feng couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief. Although that bowl of lotus seed congee was brought over by Imperial Concubine Ji, she believed that the poison definitely wasn’t administered by them! In this harem, who would be so stupid as to risk their lives! Especially someone like Xia Yaner, who treasured her life!
“I… “Not going!” Dong’er shot a glance at Ying’er, who was in the corner, and a trace of resentment flashed across her eyes. If it wasn’t for her and her mistress, elder sister Bi Xuan wouldn’t have been poisoned.
Senior Servant Feng let out a long breath, picked up the dishes on the table and walked in front of Ying’er.
“Ying’er, it’s been three days since you last had a good meal. If this goes on, your body won’t be able to take it!” Looking at Ying’er’s terrified eyes, Senior Servant Feng placed the bowl of rice in front of her and slowly sat down beside her.
“You look to be about the same age as Dong’er, both of you are miserable children! “In the harem, your heart can’t help but feel better. I know that you have nothing to do with Bi Xuan’s matter, it’s just that now that the matter has come to this, if you’re still not telling the truth, then there really will be no one who can help you!” Senior Servant Feng could tell that Ying’er knew something. No matter if Bi Xuan was alive or dead, she would still do something for her!
In the corner, Ying’er had long been silent. The scene from that day was still vivid in her mind, and when she thought back to it now, it was still shocking. She knew clearly in her heart that esteemed wangfei had intentionally framed her master, and the importance that she held in the emperor’s heart. Even if she had told the truth, the emperor might not have believed her.
Ying`er’s eyes were filled with a layer of mist as she trembled in fear while looking at Feng mama. Her lips were parted, but she had nothing to say!
“I know, you’re scared. But think about it, do you think fear can solve the problem? Besides, we are under house arrest right now, so no one can hurt you! Tell me, is the lotus congee really meant for the esteemed imperial concubine? Or did Xin Fei send it to your Jade Pavilion? ” When Xia Yaner was dragged out, her vicious expression was still fresh in her memory. If she hadn’t been wronged by someone, it would have been difficult for her to act so heartbreaking!
“I… I don’t know… He really didn’t know anything! Feng mama, I don’t want to die! I… What should I do… “What should I do …” Ying`er’s expression was sorrowful, tears flowing from her eyes. She shook her head non-stop, her entire body trembling with fear!
“Dong’er!” “Go to the inner room and get a cloak!” Senior Servant Feng gave Dong’er a look, signalling her to enter. Perhaps, with Dong’er around, Ying’er would still be afraid.
“No, I’ll wait here for Yukiko to come back!” Dong’er pouted, and upon seeing Ying’er’s trembling body, a trace of pity flashed in her heart.
“Little An is waiting outside. The person who delivered the food wouldn’t have come so early!” “Obedient, quickly go and get it!” Dong’er lowered her head and turned around. She walked into the room unwillingly.
“Ying’er, it’s just the two of us right now. Tell mama, did Xin Fei give that porridge to your master?” If it is, then the whole matter has nothing to do with you and your consort, and you will naturally be free from it as well. In Senior Servant Feng’s eyes, Su Manhe was the main culprit. If anything happened to Bi Xuan, she would do her best to reveal Su Manhe’s true colors!
“If it has something to do with Xin Fei, will the emperor punish her for her crimes?” Everyone in the imperial harem knew that the emperor’s favorite was esteemed imperial concubine. Even if he said so, the emperor wouldn’t believe him … ” Ying’er buried her head between her legs, allowing the fear to spread around her!
Feng mama’s eyes lit up as a sliver of truth emerged from Ying`er’s mouth. It was just as she had thought, Su Manhe was indeed the mastermind. This Su Manhe was indeed a ruthless person.
“Ying’er, you’ve seen what happened. The emperor values Xu Bixuan far more than Xin Fei. How could the emperor let go of her murderer when Bi Xuan’s life and death is unclear!” Senior Servant Feng lightly patted Ying’er’s back, trying to make her relax.
“Really? “Actually, that congee …” Just as Ying’er opened her mouth to speak, the door of the pavilion suddenly creaked open, and Little An walked in with a basket in his hands!
“It’s you!” It gave me a fright! “Quickly put it down, go in and call Dong’er out for dinner!” Senior Servant Feng urged Little An to call Dong’er, hoping for Ying`er to finish her sentence!
“En!” Little An obediently entered the inner room!
“Ying’er, what about the congee?” Senior Servant Feng led Ying’er on.
“Actually, that morning, esteemed wangfei really did arrive …”
“Oh no!” Dong’er’s gone! ” Right at this critical moment, Little An ran out crazily. His face was pale and his hands were trembling as he pointed in the direction of the inner chamber.
“What!” Senior Servant Feng was startled and hurriedly ran into the inner chamber. Ying`er also followed in and saw that the inner chamber was empty. There was no sign of Dong’er at all!
“That’s impossible! I clearly let Dong’er in? ” Feng mama was momentarily at a loss for words. Dong’er had just vanished without a trace! How was this possible!?
“Could she have gone out?” Little An turned to look at Senior Servant Feng. In his eyes, whether it was Xu Bixuan, Senior Feng, or Dong’er, he had long since viewed them as his family. Now that Dong’er had disappeared, how could he not be anxious!
“No!” I also saw Dong’er enter the inner room, and she didn’t even take a single step! Could it be Xin Fei?! She was afraid that I would spout nonsense, so she deliberately killed Dong’er to give me a warning! What to do! What should we do!? ” Ying’er screamed like a madman, her eyes filled with despair!
“Don’t spout nonsense! “Dong’er is just missing. Little An Zi, quickly go and inform the guards outside!” Little An ran off when she heard this. Feng mama glanced at Ying’er, who was madly running away with tears streaming down her face. It seemed like she wouldn’t say anything at this moment! Thinking of Dong’er, Senior Servant Feng’s heart skipped a beat. First was Bi Xuan, then was Dong’er. Now, she could only pray to the heavens!
Dong’er’s disappearance caused quite a stir in the harem, first Xu Bixuan and then Dong’er. Someone was able to kidnap someone away from the harem without anyone noticing, so the harem was now in grave danger!
Zilai Pavilion
“Empress!” Who did you say kidnapped Dong’er? Could it be… “Azure Dragon!” Little Tao looked at Su Manhe with an inquiring look in her red and black eyes.
“Ha!” If it were the Azure Dragon, how could it have kidnapped Dong’er!? Moreover, the Azure Dragon would not do anything unnecessary! Would killing him be more troublesome than kidnapping him? Humph! If my guess is right, it must have been the person who kidnapped Xu Bixuan! “Damn that Xu Bixuan …” Su Man She stood up abruptly and threw out the teacup in her hand. With a bang, the remains of the teacup flew all over the place, and her pupils suddenly contracted. A bloodthirsty redness appeared in her clear eyes!
“Empress …” Little Tao Hong couldn’t help but cover her mouth, afraid that she would scream!
Su Man He exhaled a long breath of cold air and slowly sat down. His eyes were as sharp as knives and they flashed with a cold light. The corner of his mouth drew a cold arc!
“Empress, didn’t Xu Bixuan already … Was she dead? Don’t tell me those people kidnapped Dong’er to accompany them in death! ” Although Little Peach Red knew it was not wise to speak now, she still asked in the face of intense curiosity.
“Humph!” A calamity a thousand years ago! How could Xu Bixuan die so easily! The Dragon Resisting Pavilion had news. The Godly Doctor Luo Jinye had saved Xu Bixuan’s life! “Right now, I don’t even know where to hide to think of a way to take revenge on me!” She didn’t expect that the most poisonous beast in the world, the Wild Goose Falling Sand, wouldn’t be able to kill her. It seemed like this show wasn’t over yet! The most important thing right now was to kill Ying’er! Even if Xu Bixuan returned to the palace to testify against him, she would not have any evidence!
“Xu Bixuan, she …” Not dead! This… It was too unbelievable! If she is allowed to return to the palace, then we …! ” Little Peach’s heart sank. She never thought that there would be someone who would be able to survive after being hit by the falling goose! It seemed like this Xu Bixuan wasn’t an ordinary person!
“If she wants to return to the palace, I’m afraid it won’t be that easy! But even if she comes back, I can still deal with her! If I can poison her once, I can poison her once more! In this imperial harem, whoever blocks my way will die! ” Su Man He’s cold gaze was like that of ice and snow as he stared at the broken teacup. Anyone who blocked her would be smashed to smithereens!
Little Peach Red swallowed her saliva and carefully looked at her master. She said that she would rather offend a vile character than a woman, especially one with schemes!
“Empress, then what can we do now?” Seeing the coldness in Su Manhe’s eyes and the deep astonishment at the corner of her mouth, Little Peach Blossom guessed that her master had a plan in mind!
“Dong’er was kidnapped in front of everyone’s eyes, I believe that the Leaning Feather Pavilion will be in chaos right now, and if we want to get rid of Ying’er, this is the best time!” Take the needle and come with me! ” Su Manhe’s every word was filled with ice. Since Xu Bixuan was still alive, she couldn’t leave any clues behind. Even if she comes back alive, even if she knows that I’m the one who poisoned her! So what!
“Empress, you mean …” We have to do it ourselves in front of so many people! Isn’t that too risky? ” Little Peach Red looked at her master in disbelief!
“This is seeking victory in the face of danger!” Even if Ying’er were to die, no one would suspect us. After all, there is still a mysterious and elusive expert who just took away Dong’er. Who can guarantee that he didn’t kill Ying’er!? Don’t dawdle, if you wait any later, you will lose this opportunity! “Let’s go!” Su Manhe slightly raised the corner of her mouth and left the Purple Lai Pavilion!
Inside the Feather Pavilion, more than a dozen imperial guards had searched from inside out, but they could not find any clues! Senior Servant Feng, Ying’er and Little An Zi were all gathered in the front hall of the Yu Xiang Pavilion, looking at the guards coming and going, with worry plastered all over their faces!
“Esteemed wangfei Xin has arrived …” Just as she finished speaking, Su Manhe walked in with a flustered expression. At first glance, she could see Ying’er behind the crowd!
“Your subordinate pays his respects to Imperial Concubine Xin!” When the leader of the guards saw Su Manhe enter, he hurriedly bowed to greet him
“Forget it!” What’s wrong with the Feather Pavilion!? It was really unlucky to encounter so many accidents! “How is it, after Dong’er was kidnapped, do you have any leads?” Su Man He frowned, his eyes filled with respect. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Ying’er. That fearful look clearly showed his guilt. Perhaps she had already told the entire Yu Xiang Pavilion about what happened that day! However, it didn’t matter. Killing them all would be too much. Moreover, Feng mama and the rest were Xu Bixuan’s men. The weight of their words was minuscule! Her only goal was Ying’er!
