Hard to Get: Charming Abandoned Empress - C99
Zilai Pavilion
Little Peach Red was standing at the entrance of the palace as she continuously looked outside. Her eyebrows were tightly knitted as she looked at her master …
“Empress, it’s been so long, why haven’t we seen Zhen Fei?” Would she really come? The last time at Yu’s Hall, she treated you like that, and now, she’s probably scared out of her wits! ”
“Does she dare to disobey the emperor’s decree?” Su Man He glanced at Little Peach Blush at the entrance of the palace. Her red lips parted slightly as she spoke in an indifferent manner.
“That’s true, but she knows that she has offended the Empress, so I don’t believe she would dare to come personally. At most, Lian’er would send it over!” Little Peach Red made her conjectures according to common sense.
“If Yin Yuerong is like this, I can guarantee that she won’t see the sun tomorrow!” “Heh …” Su Manhe’s lips curled up into a sneer, while her bright eyes turned colder and colder. Thinking back to Yin Yuerong spoiling her plan, she would definitely teach her a lesson today. She would remember one thing: not everyone in this harem had the ability to oppose her!
“It’s here!” Mother! They’re here! ” Little Tao Hong saw Yin YueRong, who was dressed in green, running back to Su Manhe’s side!
“Really?” A little earlier than I thought! “Hehe!” Su Man He’s eyes suddenly became gentler, but a cold smile appeared from the bottom of his heart! Ever since Xu Bixuan had been kidnapped, it had been a long time since she had been so happy!
Su Man He sat upright on a red wooden chair, holding a cup of green tea. She took a light sip, and an indescribable fragrance permeated her heart. Out of the corner of her eyes, the green figure had already faded into her sight!
“Yue Rong pays her respects to esteemed wangfei. The emperor has decreed that the Phoenix Seal be handed over to the Purple Lai Pavilion. The reason why Yue Rong came here is to see her little sister and to send the Phoenix Seal here! “Esteemed wangfei, please transfer the seal!” The moment she took the first step into the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, she knew that it would be difficult to leave today, but since things had already come to this point, she had no other choice!
“Big sister’s complexion doesn’t seem to be very good. This phoenix imprint has only been in big sister’s hands for half a month. Moreover, it seems like …” The imperial harem is under elder sister’s care, but for no reason at all, the emperor should not have made such a decision. The younger sister also persuaded the emperor, you know how stubborn our emperor is! How about this Phoenix Seal … “Elder sister will take it back first, then I’ll advise the emperor!” Su Man He’s words were laced with thorns, each word was full of ridicule. With the green tea in his hand, he had no intention of letting it go. Although his lips were lightly smiling, it was filled with a cold chill!
The phoenix imprint in Yin YueRong’s hand didn’t seem to be taken back. It seemed that Su Manhe didn’t want to take the phoenix imprint away so easily!
“Esteemed wangfei worries too much. The temporary appearance of the moon for the Phoenix Seal is only a temporary rise in the emperor’s favor. Esteemed wangfei, you’re gentle, virtuous, and kind. The emperor’s original intention is for the Phoenix Seal to be in the hands of his imperial concubine. Now that the emperor has made such a decision, it’s a wise move!” “Elder sister wholeheartedly accepts it …” This was not the time for him to show off. If some sweet words could be exchanged for a moment of peace, after a period of hiding, there might be a day when he would be able to fight back!
“Is that so?!” Why am I so good in my sister’s eyes?! Even I didn’t know I had so many good points! “Aiya …” Su Manhe suddenly raised the teacup in his hand and pointed it at Yin Yuerong.
It all happened so fast that Yin Yuerong didn’t hesitate for even a second to cover the phoenix imprint with the back of her hand. A burning pain spread out from her hands, and her delicate eyebrows were tightly knitted; beads of sweat started to appear on her forehead.
Seeing that the back of her hands were red and swollen, and that there was still some heat emitting from them, Su Manhe’s eyes couldn’t help but flash with a trace of a sinister light! This was just the beginning!
“Ya!” This… What was going on? I was careless! Elder sister, you’re serious too, why didn’t you dodge! ” Su Man had promised Yin Yuerong that she would protect the phoenix imprint. If the phoenix imprint had stained her hand with any dirt, she wouldn’t have been able to escape a single death!
“Empress!” Lian’er looked at the back of Yin Yuerong’s injured hands in horror. She hurriedly moved forward to receive the phoenix imprint!
Seeing that Lian’er had walked forward and wanted to receive the phoenix imprint, Su Man He’s cherry lips opened slightly as she said with a faint face:
“Whatever, since big sister doesn’t want to hand over the Phoenix Seal, little sister doesn’t have to force it. I’ll just advise the emperor to retract his order another day …”
“Lian’er!” You step down! “How can you be so ignorant about the rules!” Yin Yuanzhu glared at Lian’er. There was a deeper meaning in his words as he turned to look at Su Manhe, but the look in his eyes didn’t change at all!
“Earlier, Yuerong might have offended you in some way, but that was all because she was unwilling to do so. Empress, you are a person of great righteousness, so naturally you would not argue with Yuerong!” “Esteemed wangfei, please take over the Phoenix Seal!” Hearing that, Su Man He abruptly stood up and walked towards Yin Yuerong slowly with a pair of ice-cold eyes.
Su Man slowly moved closer to Yin Yuerong. She stared at Yin Yuerong, who was holding the phoenix imprint, with her sharp eyes, and slightly curved her lips.
“Good thing you remembered!” I thought you forgot how you used the Phoenix Seal to suppress me that day! There’s no problem if you want me to take the Phoenix Seal! As long as you kowtow to me and pour tea to apologize! I’m not an unreasonable person! “Ha!” A trace of weird light flashed across Su Manhe’s eyes. She turned around, smiled and sat back on the wooden chair, waiting for Yin Yuerong’s reaction.
“Esteemed wangfei, don’t go too far!” “You’re all imperial concubines, what reason do you have for my esteemed mistress to kneel to you?!” Lian’er heard it clearly from the side and was filled with righteous indignation. He took two steps forward and angrily glared at Su Manho.
“How dare you!” What are you! How dare you speak to me like that! Little Peach Red! “Slap him!” Su Manhe glanced at Yin Yuerong with a pair of cold eyes, while a trace of coldness flashed across her heart, ‘Let’s see how long you can endure this for!’
“Esteemed wangfei Xin, Lian’er is insensible and offended the esteemed empress. I hope you won’t lower yourself to her level!” Yin Yuerong knitted her brows. She knew Su Manhe wanted to use Lotus to gain her loyalty, but no matter what, she wouldn’t let anything happen to Lotus!
“Big sister, it’s true. If I don’t discipline such a tricky maid today, even big sister might not be able to defeat her in the future!” Little Peach Red! What are you waiting for! Hurry up and call me! ” Su Man He’s eyes flashed with a cold light and a smile that was not a smile appeared on his face. She really wanted to see how deeply this master and servant were in love!
“Esteemed wangfei, please calm your anger. Yue Rong is willing to kowtow and admit her wrongs by pouring tea!” As for Lian’er, Yue Rong didn’t dare to trouble the Empress. When she returned to the palace, she would deal with him … ” Yin Yuerong said blandly while biting her lips. She looked down at the dense fog in the bottom of her eyes.
“Empress! You can’t do this! She clearly wants to embarrass you, don’t worry about me! Even if I am beaten to death, this servant will not let the Empress suffer such grievances, Su Manhe! We are both imperial concubines, what qualifications do you have to receive the kowtow of my esteemed wife? You aren’t afraid of losing your life! ” Lian’er directly scolded him even more harshly as she stared at Su Man He with her pair of spirited pearls!
“How preposterous! Imperial Concubine Zhen, this is the good servant you taught! Little Peach Red! Call me! “I’ll beat you to death!” Suman He stood up abruptly and glared at Lian’er!
“Yes!” Little Peach Red picked up the wooden ruler and walked in front of Lian’er!
“Esteemed wangfei Xin!” How about you let Lian Lian’er have a chance at survival?! ” Yin YueRong kneeled on the ground anxiously. Lian’er was the same age as her daughter, and she was loyal and devoted to her. No matter what, she couldn’t let Lian’er be punished like this!
Looking at Yin Yuerong kneeling on the ground, Su Man She couldn’t help but sneer!
“Isn’t it too late to kneel now! Little Peach Red! Don’t you understand my words!? Call me! “Such a rude maid, break her mouth for me!” Su Man He frowned, and his cold eyes flashed with a trace of bloodthirsty pleasure! She, Su Manhe, had always been a vengeful person! Whoever offended her, they mustn’t even think of a good ending!
“Yes!” Little Peach Red raised her wooden ruler. Just as she was about to fall, she was suddenly stopped by a clear voice.
“Wait! Tsk tsk … What do you mean, sister? So why do you have to vent your anger on a maidservant when you’re not feeling well?! ” Xu Bi Xuan strode forward gracefully. Her gentle eyes became even gentler when she saw Su Man He. Her indifferent tone seeped out of her cherry lips as the corner of her mouth curled into a smile. Her heart was as cold as a pond at this moment!
Su Manhe’s mind went blank. Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine that Xu Bixuan would appear in front of her right now. Her eyes were filled with a bone-chilling cold, and she did not try to hide the hatred and killing intent in her heart! However, after a moment, she regained her consciousness and retracted the light in his eyes. She let out a sigh, and her smile returned to her face that she had just been proud of!
“Yo!” When did his little sister return to the palace? Why didn’t you tell me earlier that Big Sis would welcome you back! ” Su Man He picked up the teacup and took a sip. His eyes were indifferent.
“How can this sister bear it?” You are a imperial concubine, and little sister is only a slave! Furthermore, if I were to tell my sister, she might not have returned so quickly! ” Xu Bi Xuan pursed her red lips and spoke sweetly. The meaning behind her words were very clear. At this moment, she had already walked to Yin Yuerong’s side!
“You! Ah, since little sister knows her identity, then she should understand that there are some things that little sister cannot care about! Little Peach Blossom! ” Su Man He shouted! Today, she was going to teach this pair of master and servant a lesson in front of Xu Bixuan. She was going to kill off her prestige!
“Ya?!” Imperial Consort Zhen? Are your legs okay?! ” Xu Bixuan didn’t miss a chance to lean forward, looking at Yin Yuerong with a confident smile!
“I… “I’m fine …” Yin Yuerong hid the surprise in her eyes as she spoke in a soft tone. She naturally understood Xu Bixuan’s meaning!
“Why are you kneeling down if you have nothing to do?!” Let this servant help you up! ” Xu Bixuan didn’t think that after leaving for only half a month, the current Su Manhe would brazenly bully other imperial concubines. Was victory in her hands!
Hearing this, Su Man glared angrily at Xu Bi Xuan, a pair of cold eyes staring straight at the woman in front of him, a trace of doubt flashing through her heart. She actually dared to openly oppose him, what exactly did she rely on?
“Wait! Did I tell her to get up?! ” Her cold voice contained a trace of coldness. Su Manhe didn’t back down in the slightest. She cast a sidelong glance at Yin Yuerong. She wouldn’t be so stupid as to use a servant as a backer, would she?
“So it turns out that elder sister made Imperial Concubine Zhen kneel here! His younger sister was untalented, and he didn’t know when this palace’s imperial concubine would perform such a large ceremony! Was it the new rules of the palace? When that servant saw Little Peach Blossom, would she have to kneel down and pay her respects? ” Xu Bixuan’s soft eyes turned towards Little Peach Blossom. The intimidating glint emitted from her eyes caused Little Peach Blossom to unconsciously put down the wooden ruler in her hand. She timidly lowered her head! If the emperor were to find out that Xu Bixuan had knelt before him, she would probably die without a complete corpse!
“Xu Bixuan! You… You’d better not go too far! “Don’t think that just because the emperor dotes on you, I won’t be able to do anything to you!” The clear and cold voice made people feel extreme chilliness. Su Man let out a cold ‘heng’ and her chest was filled with monstrous rage. If it were not for her identity, she would have rushed forward to strangle this eyesore.
