Rebirth: Emperor, Long Time No See - C268
After Xuanyuan Chen Mo had finished speaking, he began to send people to clean up the mess in the Pavilion of Arites. At this moment, the empress Shangguan Congxue was full of smiles, but he calmly walked over and said to Dongfang Ziqing, “Little sister, it’s really an unfortunate coincidence today. Originally, the Emperor had just prayed for the blessings of the heavens for the people of our imperial harem this morning. Otherwise, why would his younger sister suffer such an unexpected calamity so early in the afternoon? His little sister was going to reflect on her actions when she returned to his Wutong Palace. “Heh heh.”
“You! He didn’t dare to boast about his sister’s lack of virtue. However, if someone were to deliberately frame his sister, his sister would definitely not rest until she found out the truth. “I believe in big sister, and I know that little sister isn’t someone who would give up on her so easily.” Dongfang Ziqing said between gritted teeth as she stared at Shangguan Canxue.
Although Dongfang Ziqing didn’t know why such a thing had happened, but now that she heard Shangguan Bangxue’s mocking tone, she was sure that this matter had nothing to do with the official’s blasphemy. Dongfang Ziqing, who was currently in a state of panic, still couldn’t figure out what was going on.
Dongfang Ziqing was worried about Xuemei’s injuries. After the Imperial Physician helped her with a simple bandage, she brought Xuemei along with several guards to meet up with her at the Parasol Tree Palace. When Dongfang Ziqing had left, a sinister expression was left on Shangguan Bian Xue’s face.
At this moment, the Aries Jade Pavilion was in a mess. The happy expression on everyone’s face had turned into one of fear and unease.
After the Emperor sent his men to send off Dongfang Ziqing and the injured Xuemei, Xuanyuan Chen Mo gloomily sized up the scene inside the Aegis Pavilion. Upon seeing this, Xuanyuan Chen Mo could not help but feel his anger surge upwards. At this moment, Little Treasure arrived in front of Xuanyuan Chen Mo with an expression of shock and uncertainty.
Little Treasure looked at the grim-faced Xuanyuan Chen Mo and knew that this was a sign of his fury. Thus, Little Treasure quietly stood to the side, not even daring to breathe loudly.
“How is the situation now? Have you completed all the tasks I’ve instructed you to do?” Xuanyuan Chen said after a moment, but there was a trace of anger in his tone.
“To reply your majesty, the women with the sabers have already been sent to the Jinyi Guards to take them to the little clan’s residence. The details will still have to wait for news from the little clan’s residence.” Just now, Little Treasure found out from the other empress that it was because of some unknown reason, so he picked up the knife that was placed on the table and began to attack the unprepared Imperial Concubine Yuwen. Fortunately, Imperial Concubine Yuwen reacted in time and dodged the attack. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable. ” Little Treasure answered.
“Humph!” Such a thing actually happened while I was still participating in the luncheon, investigate this matter properly for me. How could he continue like this? Today, he had even prayed to the heavens. He did not expect such an unexpected turn of events would occur in the harem. How could he endure this? it is obvious that you do not put me in your eyes, and have told the sect leader of the little sect, that you will report to me the moment you find any clues. ” Even up to this point, the Emperor Xuanyuan and Chen Mo still felt a little indignant in their hearts.
If Xuanyuan Chen Mo had only heard of this matter after the fact, he probably wouldn’t have been so angry. Today, in front of Xuanyuan Chen Mo’s face, there was going to be a big scene of a slaughter going on right under his nose.
Back then, when Xuanyuan Chen Mo had seen his beloved Yuwen Yanran being surrounded and attacked by a few seemingly crazy concubines with knives in their hands, Xuanyuan Chen’s heart had uncontrollably hurt for a moment. Then, Xuanyuan Chen Mo could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.
Not knowing what had happened at that time, Xuanyuan Chen saw Yuwen Yanran hiding left and right below and suddenly thought of Dongfang Ziqing, who he had beaten into the cold palace. At that time, when Dongfang Ziqing was still in the Cold Palace and knew that her family had been sent to the border, perhaps Dongfang Ziqing was in such a state of panic as well?
Perhaps the astonishing similarity between the two gave Xuanyuan Chen Mo even more of a comparison. In short, when Xuanyuan Chen Mo saw that Yuwen Yanran was being chased, the heartache Xuanyuan Chen felt was quite real. Xuanyuan Chen had to admit that Yuwen Yanran, who had a shocking resemblance to Dongfang Ziqing, had already occupied an important position in his heart.
As Xuanyuan Chen was lost in his thoughts, Xuanyuan Chen suddenly felt a fragrant scent wafting over from in front of him. This rich fragrance was very familiar to Xuanyuan Chen. This fragrance belonged to the empress, Shangguan Congxue. As expected, the moment Xuanyuan Chen Mo raised his head, he saw Shangguan Tianxue’s face filled with concern. In his absent-mindedness, Xuanyuan Chen also seemed to have returned to the days when he and Shangguan Tianxue had been together.
The Shangguan Longxue that stood in front of Xuanyuan Chen Mo now was completely different from the Xue’er in Xuanyuan Chen Mo’s heart. Without realizing it, Xuanyuan Chen had started to be wary of Shangguan Tianxue. If he was prepared for it again, it would mean that not only was the relationship between Xuanyuan Chen Mo and Shangguan Shou Xue broken up, the gap between them was also growing wider. It was just that the two of them had never met each other before.
“Is the emperor still worried about little sister Yuwen? Naturally, there was no problem with Yuwen’s little sister. When Chenqie saw Yuwen’s little sister just now, she wasn’t injured. She was just a little frightened, so she was fine. Your Majesty has been tired for a long time today. Do you want to accompany chenqie back to chenqie’s Phoenix Palace to have a good rest? ” Shangguan Canxue spoke first before Xuanyuan Chen Mo could say anything.
“Forget it, there’s no need. I am very tired, but I’d better go back to my own dry clearing house to rest. Last night, I had promised that I would go see Yi Fei in person this afternoon. Empress, we’ve been busy for so long, let’s go back and rest. Didn’t the empress want to visit Yi Fei with Yanran tonight?
As the Queen, you must take more care of her. In the end, whether it’s you or me, we are family, but if there’s not even the slightest bit of warmth in this family, Empress, do you think this is still a family? ” After saying that, Xuanyuan Chen and Little Treasure left his Dragon Throne without waiting for Shangguan Tianxue’s reply. They then left the Aegis Pavilion together. Only the empress, Shangguan Canxue, was left standing where he was, quietly thinking about something.
If it was in normal times, when Shangguan Tianxue had invited Xuanyuan Chen Mo to his Phoenix Palace to rest, even if Xuanyuan Chen Mo had agreed, he wouldn’t have turned around and left just like that. Today, Xuanyuan Chen did not know how he suddenly thought of Dongfang Ziqing and all of the things that happened between the two of them in the past. His unwell mood became even more downcast.
Later on, Shangguan Longxue walked in front of Xuanyuan Chen Mo, causing his memories of the past to arise. That was why he had left so quickly. What Xuanyuan Chen Mo had said was merely a thought coming from his heart, he did not actually mean to blame Shangguan Canxue.
But when Shangguan Tianxue heard Xuanyuan Chen Mo’s words, he couldn’t help but recall those things from the past. Envy surged within her heart, and she couldn’t help but hate Yuwen Yanran, who looked extremely similar to Dongfang Ziqing. Especially today, when she saw once again Xuanyuan Chen Mo’s nervousness towards Yuwen Yanran, her concern for Yuwen Yanran was obvious.
In the eyes of others, Yuwen Yanran’s degree of being pampered already far surpassed the empress Shangguan Canxue. This was something that Shangguan Tianxue couldn’t tolerate. Thinking of this, Shangguan Canxue turned around and looked at a sturdy and tall bamboo tree in the Archaic Pavilion. Carefully observing the tall and sturdy bamboo, one could actually see a faint fog spreading around the bamboo. The fog was very faint, almost negligible.
At this time, Dongfang Ziqing had already brought Xue Mei back to her own wutong palace. Dongfang Ziqing once again placed Xue Mei in her own bedroom, and not long ago, Xue Mei had just laid down on her bed. Unexpectedly, only a few days had passed, and Xue Mei had once again laid down on top of it.
