The Legitimate Daughter Empress - C203
Chapter 202 – Revenge
When Pearl picked up the scalding tea, she purposely poured the boiling water in the direction of where Qin Luofei was sitting. And before she could move, Qin Luofei had already seen through her thoughts. She picked up the teacup in her hand and forcefully smashed it into the boiling pot of water, and the boiling water finally poured into Pearl’s hands.
Pearl screamed and covered her hands.
“So hot!” Pearl couldn’t help but cry as she looked at her red hands. She stared at Qin Luofei with eyes full of hatred. Not only did Qin Luofei not show any mercy, she even started blaming him.
“There’s really no basis for this. If you burn Esteemed Empress Su, what kind of punishment would you be punished for?” Qin Luofei angrily roared at the pearl.
Pearl had been weeping with her head down.
“Concubine Qin, I did not teach you well, so you don’t need to get angry.” At this time, Su Fei was a good person, but she was secretly happy.
“Esteemed Su Han, this type of palace maid should be replaced. Even a cup of tea wouldn’t do. What’s the use of asking her?” Qin Luofei didn’t think that this pearl would be so heartless. If he hadn’t seen that something was amiss, the scalding water would have fallen onto his body.
“Calm your anger Concubine Qin, Pearl, you can leave now. It’s good that you have the two of them here.” Su Fei instructed.
Pearl gnashed her teeth, wishing that she could hack Concubine Qin into eight pieces. If the Imperial Consort Leng was here, she wouldn’t be in such dire straits.
“What is it? Still here? Didn’t you hear your master call you back? ” Qin Luofei added.
When the pearl finally left, Su Fei Fei heaved a sigh of relief. Other than supervising her every moment when she was asleep, she already felt impatient.
Although the Concubine Qin in front of her didn’t have a good impression of her, after seeing her severely punish Pearl today, her heart couldn’t help but feel a little more refreshed.
He couldn’t do it himself, but he could use her to destroy Pearl’s power.
“Concubine Qin doesn’t need to be compared with a palace maid. How about tea?”
“Good tea!” “It’s sweet and delicious, but unfortunately, the tea is not clear enough.” Qin Luofei’s words puzzled Su Fei Fei.
Su Fei said: “Wait, this concubine will ask someone to bring some tea to Concubine Qin for us to drink.”
“Many thanks to the Empress for her beautiful intentions. I dare not trouble the Empress.” Qin Luofei rejected him immediately.
Right now, Su Fei was from the Imperial Consort Leng, so she didn’t dare to believe too much. There was still a shadow left over from the previous incident, but fortunately, her body wasn’t severely injured.
“Could it be that Concubine Qin is afraid of me poisoning him?” As she spoke, Su Fei smiled.
“Su Fei sure knows how to joke around.” Qin Luofei replied with a smile. It seemed like Su Fei wasn’t completely on the Imperial Consort Leng’s side, but she suffered under the supervision of her people.
Qin Luofei could already tell from her attitude towards Pearl that it was still unclear whether she was an enemy or a friend.
“Don’t worry, I won’t poison anyone from the harem.” Su Fei’s words were a bit serious.
Knowing people’s faces but not their hearts, Qin Luofei also didn’t know which of the woman’s words were true.
“The Empress really knows how to joke.” However, that pearl seemed to be quite scorching. She did not know if it would cause her to be angry, so it was best for the Empress to pay more attention. It’s getting late, so chenqie will not disturb your rest and will take her leave first. ”
Qin Luofei stood up, bade farewell to Su Fei, and left the courtyard.
“Concubine Qin can come often in the future.”
Su Fei Fei looked at Qin Luofei’s leaving figure. This woman was really unfathomable. Why did she help her punish the pearls?
A good person still needed to be. Su Fei went to find the imperial physician to help Pearl take a look at the injuries on her hand. One side of his hand was red from the heat, and he wondered if there would be any scars.
“How is the pearl?” Su Fei’s gentle tone made her treat this servant like she was facing Imperial Consort Leng. Su Fei had no choice but to give in.
“Many thanks to esteemed Su Han for your concern. It’s still burning to death.” Pearl recalled that Qin Luofei was still raging in her heart. In the past, when she followed Imperial Consort Leng, Imperial Consort Leng disliked this woman the most, and as expected, hateful upon seeing her.
Today, she had scalded her hand. She would definitely return it to her in the future.
“Look at you, you must be in pain. “If you don’t rest for a few days, then don’t serve this concubine for the next few days.” Su Fei said.
Pearl hastened to say, “How can we do that? Others can’t be at ease taking care of esteemed wangfei’s servants.”
Su Fei’s heart was filled with ridicule. Imperial Consort Leng must be worried. However, these words could only be spoken without worry. Now, she had to learn how to disguise herself and how to endure.
“I will send someone to tell Imperial Consort Leng that she understands. Also, Pearl, you are currently a servant girl of mine, so you should be protecting my interests at all times. For example, you have to at least give me some face. “Alright, I won’t say anymore. Have a good rest.” Su Fei walked out.
Pearl was injured, and there were no Imperial Consort Leng by Su Fei’s side. This gave her time to do other things and learn more about the palace.
Pearl said nothing about the harem, nor did she know anything about it.
Su Fei was bored and brought the two palace maids out of Bright Moon Hall to wander around.
The palace was eerie, and she was momentarily at a loss as to what to do.
I don’t know what the emperor likes or dislikes, but he gave her his virginity …
It had all strayed from her original plan.
“Piper Wind Hall.” Su Fei stood at the door and read the words out loud.
She had seen the harem’s roster before. She remembered that the person who lived here should be the Consort Shu, and that the Consort Shu had a certain amount of kinship with the Su Family. However, she was only a distant relative, so Su Fei and Consort Shu had never met. Su Fei knew that Consort Shu was doted upon by the Emperor, so she could curry favor with him.
When Su Fei walked to the entrance of the palace, she was stopped by a guard outside. From the looks of it, the guards of the harem were already so tight, one could only imagine that it would be even harder to get close to the Emperor Ming.
“Please inform that Su Fei requests to see the Consort Shu Empress.”
Consort Shu who was chatting with Qin Luofei in the inner room heard the two words “Su Fei” and her face turned ugly.
“Let her in.” The Consort Shu sighed, what should come will eventually come.
“Elder sister, what’s wrong?” Don’t you want to see her? ” Qin Luofei, who was sitting beside him, asked.
“It’s nothing. The concubines in the harem have an additional responsibility.” Consort Shu forced a smile.
Qin Luofei didn’t try to force him. She only said, “Sister, I just came from Su Fei’s place. I didn’t expect her to catch up to me when I first came to your Wind Hall.”
“What kind of person is she?” Consort Shu said.
“I’m not sure, but Imperial Consort Leng has already sent palace maids to wait on her. I wonder if she’s an enemy or a friend.” In front of the Consort Shu, Qin Luofei was actually quite straightforward.
Su Fei slowly walked in. Her first glance fell on Qin Luofei.
“I never thought that Concubine Qin would be so nimble and come here so soon. Was it because Bright Moon Hall did not drink enough tea? ” Su Fei Fei ignored the existence of the Consort Shu and her first sentence was actually to meet Qin Luofei.
Qin Luofei stood up and said, “Empress Su really knows how to joke around. With the Consort Shu’s Empress here, does Su Fei want to pay respects to the Empress? Let’s talk again.” Qin Luofei changed the topic.
Su Fei’s gaze fell on Consort Shu, who was sizing her up.
Su Fei Fei’s appearance didn’t look like General Su at all. She looked so similar to her mother that both of them were beautiful girls, but unfortunately, she wasn’t favored by the emperor.
“Greetings to the Consort Shu’s Empress. She came to visit you so late at night, could it be that the Empress took offense?” Su Fei bowed politely.
“Flatten your body and give yourself a seat. If your little sister can enter the palace, then we’ll be family from now on. Where did all these rules come from? Consort Shu’s tone was neither cold nor indifferent, it was not possible to tell whether she liked Su Fei or not.
Before Su Fei had entered the palace, she knew that Consort Shu was hard to deal with and she had to be careful.
“Many thanks to the Empress for your care. My younger sister has only been in the palace for a few days, and the rules of the palace are unfamiliar. If there’s anything wrong with it, please forgive me.” Su Fei laughed.
She was already as beautiful as a flower, and her actions, to the point of being gorgeous, caused Consort Shu to feel slightly surprised.
“The Consort Shu Empress is the best person to talk to. Empress Su need not be so afraid and anxious, instead making it difficult for the Consort Shu Empress to act like a human being. Since we’re all sisters, why don’t we all sit down and talk?” Qin Luofei didn’t like Su Fei’s look at all, and her words didn’t contain even the slightest bit of sincerity.
maid brought over a stool for Su Fei to sit on.
Su Fei stroked her forehead and said indifferently: “Concubine Qin is right. Lu Yao knows that people are good at meeting with each other over time. In the future, we are all sisters. I don’t need to be pretentious here.”
When Consort Shu heard Su Fei’s words, she frowned and said: “We are all sisters. Let’s stay at the Wind Hall for dinner together today.”
Consort Shu wanted to keep Su Fei for a chat, but Su Fei rejected him.
“Bright Moon Hall still has some things that I need to take care of first. I was just passing by to take a look, as for Little Sister Dining, I will not disturb Consort Shu anymore.”
If she was to leave, Su Fei gave people that feeling. No one knew what she truly thought in her heart. Although she seemed to be attached to the Imperial Consort Leng, she didn’t reject being together with the Consort Shu. Her attitude was more like a neutral stance.
Su Fei Fei knew that if she stayed to eat together with the Chili Pepper Wind Hall, it would definitely arouse the Imperial Consort Leng’s displeasure and suspicion. She could not offend anyone right now, as she had no status or the Emperor’s favor.
Right now, what she needed to do was to get the Emperor Ming to pay attention to her again.
Pearl’s hands were so fast. In two days she had completely recovered, and like a shadow of Su Fei, she followed her wherever she went.
“Let’s go to the pavilion over there and take a look.” Su Fei didn’t want to stay in Bright Moon Hall and spent most of the day walking outside. Although Pearl had her own opinions, she could not stop Su Fei. After all, she was her own master.
Arriving at the pavilion, Su Fei sat down. The sun was shining brightly and the occasional breeze made her feel comfortable. If not for that burden, she would be living a blissful and ordinary life now. However, the heavens’ will was messing with him. He was the one who had destroyed all of this.
Su Fei Fei suddenly opened her eyes as she thought of these things. She turned her head to look at the pearl, and her gaze landed on Qin Luofei, who was nearby.
“Miss, where are you going?” Daffodil Daydream asked as she followed behind Qin Luofei.
“To see concubine Luo.”
“Look, isn’t that Su Fei and her unruly palace girl over there?” Daihua saw them sitting on the pavilion.
Qin Luofei stared at the pearl, her eyes filled with resentment. Last time she scalded her palm, she probably still harbored that grudge in her heart. The servants raised by the Imperial Consort Leng were as petty and fussy as she was.
“Come, let’s go take a look.”
