Chapter 182 – Yun Er Kneel down to persuade
Chapter 182: Yun Er kneeled down to persuade her
When Imperial Consort Leng returned to the Jin Jue Palace alone, she kept tossing the tea set on the table.
“Imperial Consort, please calm your anger.” Yun Er kneeled and advised.
“Calm your anger! How can you make me calm down? There’s almost no place for me in this harem. All of them want to step on my head. Aren’t they underestimating me a bit too much?” The Imperial Consort Leng roared.
“Imperial Concubine, you have a child in your womb right now, so no one needs to be afraid of you, right? As long as Longzi was born, the Emperor would naturally pay attention to the Empress. At that time, those clowns in the palace will naturally not dare to cause any more trouble in front of the Empress. ” Yun Er consoled her repeatedly at the side, deeply afraid that Imperial Consort Leng would accidentally slip past her and not even think about her little life.
A talent show? She was helpless against the few concubines in the harem. The emperor always liked to be new and loathe the old, and he was also always a little indifferent to himself. The harem needed more people, so it was necessary to get rid of some people, so as to not get in the way.
Currently, the person she hated the most was the Concubine Qin, the person she always wanted the most.
“Yun Er, come here.”
Imperial Consort Leng whispered to Yun Er.
“Understood, Imperial Concubine and your servant will go now.”
Yun Er walked out.
Imperial Consort Leng’s mouth revealed a sinister smile. For tomorrow’s competition, it would be best to lose someone in the harem. The Consort Shu couldn’t even be touched by the Imperial Consort Yu. The emperor placed too much emphasis on her, but the Concubine Qin deserved a thousand deaths. Even if she died, I believe the emperor wouldn’t care too much about it.
Qin Luofei took out the phoenix jade pendant to carefully observe it, and thought of the white wolf under the Rising Sun Cliff’s command. There was also the strange thing about her rebirth into this body. She wanted to find the answer from this jade pendant. But no matter how he looked at it, this jade pendant was just an ordinary jade pendant, there was nothing special about it.
Everyone said that this jade pendant was spiritual. Was it because this jade pendant had been with him for too long?
Qin Luofei thought for a long time, unable to fall asleep. Suddenly, she heard footsteps on the roof. Qin Luofei immediately unsheathed her dagger and quietly walked to the door.
Sure enough, a few men in black were walking back and forth on the rooftop. They did not notice them.
The palace was heavily guarded, and there were actually men in black who wanted to assassinate him. This was too outrageous. It was inevitable that some of them did this.
“Who are you? How dare you barge into the Huishang Hall?” Although Qin Luofei was currently not a powerless woman and could finally be of use in the martial arts the Imperial Consort Yu had taught her, she had still just started learning. Most likely, she would not be a match for these black-clothed men.
A few men in black saw her fly down the eaves and surround her.
Qin Luofei saw that these people had light footsteps and bright eyes. She knew that they all hated martial arts.
Although her martial arts had improved rapidly, she was still quite weak when fighting against a few people by herself.
The sword in the black-clothed man’s hand had no eyes, as it pierced towards Qin Luofei.
Qin Luofei dodged quickly and her arm was almost stabbed.
Seeing that she was about to fall to the ground and the usual bodyguard didn’t make a move, Qin Luofei suspected that someone had already planned for her death.
“Go to hell.” One of the black-clothed men stabbed a sharp knife at Qin Luofei.
Right at this moment of life and death, a sword suddenly slashed apart the sharp blade aimed at Qin Luofei, causing her to turn around only to find that it was Leng Mu.
“With me here, there’s no need to be afraid.” Leng Mu protected Qin Luofei.
Just as she was about to speak, Leng Mu had already started fighting with the black-clothed man. Not long after, a voice came from outside the Huishang Hall.
“The Emperor has arrived.”
Why would the Emperor open the Huishang Hall at this time? If he saw Leng Mu here, wouldn’t that mean that he wouldn’t be able to wash his face even if he jumped into the Yellow River?!
Got it. Leng Mu wanted to leave, but he was unable to. The black clothed man held him back.
The door of the Huishang Hall opened, and the Emperor Ming witnessed the battle. The Embroidered Uniform Guard immediately went to help, and a few black-clothed men were captured on the spot.
”
Speak, who sent you here? ” Emperor Ming’s low voice was extremely shocking.
A few men in black bit their tongues and committed suicide.
Emperor Ming’s gaze shifted towards Leng Mu. From the looks of it, his skills were not bad.
“Thank you, your majesty, for coming to save us.” Qin Luofei kneeled down in gratitude, but her back couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat.
“Why would someone in the Concubine Qin want to kill you? Do you have any hatred outside? And this one. What are you guys doing in Huishang Hall so late at night, alone? Emperor Ming’s cold eyes were filled with killing intent.
“Your Majesty, just now, this lowly one was sending medicine to concubine Luo. When I returned and passed by the Huishang Hall, I heard a strange noise. It’s my mistake, I shouldn’t have trespassed into the Huishang Hall to sully Concubine Qin’s reputation. ” Leng Mu didn’t want to implicate Qin Luofei so he spoke first.
“Someone, go and see if what this young master said is true.” Emperor Ming must investigate this matter thoroughly tonight. The Emperor Yun still had no whereabouts. He originally wanted to lure her out of the palace, but he didn’t expect that she would lose the Princess Tranquil in the end.
Not long later, the eunuch returned with a jog.
“Reporting to your majesty, concubine Luo did receive the medicine sent by the Master Leng.”
heaved a sigh of relief, the Emperor Ming was not so easy to deceive, it seemed that he had to be even more careful in the palace.
“Concubine Qin, do you recognize any of these?”
The guards took off the masks of the black-masked man, Qin Luofei shook her head, she didn’t know these things.
“The palace is heavily guarded, and there are actually people who can break in. Did you all not hear what I told you to do?” Come and kill the guards that were guarding outside of Huishang Hall tonight. ” With Emperor Ming’s order, a dozen or so guards were dragged down.
Qin Luofei wanted to help them beg for mercy, but she resisted in the end. Now, the Emperor Ming was even colder and more heartless than before. If he pleaded for them, it would be hard to protect himself.
“We must investigate the matter of the Concubine Qin’s assassination thoroughly.” Emperor Ming instructed the leader of the guards by his side.
“Your Majesty, rest assured. This humble subject will definitely find the real culprit as soon as possible.” The head guard said resolutely.
The Emperor was asking a question. Who would dare play tricks on him? Actually, everyone knew that the witness was already dead. Without any evidence, it was simply impossible to find the real culprit.
When the Emperor Ming returned to the palace, Qin Luofei and Leng Mu were the only ones left in the Huishang Hall.
“Thank you for just now. If it wasn’t for you, I’m afraid we would have already …” Qin Luofei felt a lingering fear just thinking about it.
Leng Mu shook his head, and said: “There’s no need to thank me, it’s just that you need to be more careful in the future. This palace is indeed not a safe place. Did you suspect anyone of assassinating you? ”
After Qin Luofei pondered for a moment, she was the first to think of the Imperial Consort Leng. Besides her palace, who else would go against her? However, Qin Luofei didn’t understand why the emperor would suddenly appear here.
“I suspect a person, but I don’t dare to speak carelessly without evidence.”
“Don’t you think there’s something strange about the Emperor’s sudden arrival?” Could someone have notified the Emperor Ming in advance that the time of his appearance was too coincidental? ” Leng Mu was also suspecting that there was someone behind all of this.
“I don’t know about that.” Qin Luofei did not want to involve Leng Mu in any trouble within the palace.
Leng Mu started to worry. If the assassin was arranged by the Emperor Ming, then his goal was not Qin Luofei but himself. Had he discovered his identity? But after thinking about it, it was impossible. He had only met the Emperor Ming with him twice, how could he know? Just in case, Leng Mu decided to use another method to distract the Emperor Ming’s attention and suspicion.
On the next day, the Consort Shu and the Imperial Consort Leng went to choose their women, but the emperor had to leave the palace to pay his respects at this time. Today was the 200th day since he had been reinstated. In order to pray for his country’s blessings, he would go to the imperial temple in the capital to offer sacrifices every so often.
Since the Consort Shu was not here, he could only have the Imperial Consort Yu accompany him. Firstly, her skills were extraordinary and she could use her life to protect him, so she had no choice but to love this kind of woman.
The women in the harem only fought for favors. But there were few who could protect themselves in times of crisis like her.
This was also the reason why Emperor Ming doted on him. He used her love for him.
“Your majesty, chenqie has a request. I want to ask Concubine Qin to accompany me there.” The Imperial Consort Yu said.
“It seems like you and Imperial Consort Yu are really like sisters. For your sake, I will definitely escort her out of the palace.” At the same time Emperor Ming agreed, there was unease in his eyes.
The place this woman went to might attract the attention of the missing Emperor Yun. If she accompanied him out of the palace, he might be able to assassinate her.
However, since he had already agreed to Imperial Consort Yu’s request, Emperor Ming would naturally have his own thoughts.
The emperor left the palace to pay his respects. The Embroidered Uniform Guards followed him and the Ling Wang accompanied him on his journey. The lineup was very grand, and Emperor Ming’s style seemed to be a little deliberate.
“We’re here. Your majesty, please get off the palanquin.” Eunuch opened the curtains for Emperor Ming, and Emperor Ming walked out. He looked around him. There were still many people watching today. However, he didn’t see what he wanted to see. His men didn’t seem to appear. Could it be that this Emperor Yun was really no longer in the capital?
Qin Luofei and the Imperial Consort Yu also walked down from their sedan. This place was a Royal temple, and normally, only the Royal Family would come here to worship. This temple is the Emperor Ming.
After the restoration was completed, monks would burn incense and worship fire every day.
“Imperial Consort Yu, come up and accompany me in.” Emperor Ming was a smart person. With Imperial Consort Yu by his side and his skills, there were very few people in the world who could be his match.
He also believed that the Imperial Consort Yu would not betray him.
The Imperial Consort Yu was very happy to be called out by the Emperor Ming, but she never would have thought that there would be such a day. Not only was she able to see him every day, he was also very fond of her.
Qin Luofei looked around by herself, but she did not even follow them. The sharp eyes of the Ling Wang saw him walking past her in an instant. He also followed her. This was the outside of the palace, so whatever happened here would not be appropriate.
The Emperor Ming and the Imperial Consort Yu prayed to the heavens and earth, praying for the peace of the country. The eunuch lit the incense for Emperor Ming, who anticipated that when he put the three incense sticks into the incense burner, one of the darts would cut the incense into two, almost causing Emperor Ming to lose his life.
