The Legitimate Daughter Empress - C210
Chapter 209 – The Enemy
Imperial Consort Leng looked at Su Fei Fei and said: “Su Fei, serve the emperor well. Don’t let any other concubine have the chance. “Remember, the emperor is what we rely on the most in this palace.”
The Imperial Consort Leng explained.
“It’s the Empress. Your consort will obey the Empress’s imperial decree.” Su Fei lowered her head, and secretly looked at Concubine Qin, only to see her looking at him with a cold smile.
What the Imperial Consort Leng was most afraid of was that Su Fei betraying herself with her love. What she needed was absolute loyalty. The reason he had begged for mercy on Su Fei’s behalf was also because he wanted to help her today.
When her child was born, the Queen’s throne would be just around the corner.
“Sister Qin, you were too bold with your words just now. Please forgive me.” Su Fei looked at Concubine Qin and the corner of her mouth raised a little.
Concubine Qin, on the other hand, did not give her any face. No matter who was favoured in the imperial harem, they would be met with jealousy. This was unavoidable.
The three of them were admiring the flowers in the imperial garden together, but the path of the enemy was narrow.
“Look at them.” Imperial Consort Yu saw the three of them holding onto Qin Luofei’s clothes as they spoke.
The saying ‘one cannot look up and see one’s face’ was indeed true. Now that Su Fei Fei was being pampered and the Imperial Consort Leng was pregnant, looking at their complacent expressions, Qin Luo Fei really couldn’t stand to watch.
When they saw Imperial Consort Leng, they had no choice but to lower their heads and bow. This was the rule of the palace. And Imperial Consort Leng took this opportunity to see Su Fei’s performance.
“Please get up. It’s rare to be gathered here. How about we enjoy the flowers together?” Imperial Consort Leng actually took the initiative to invite them to admire the flowers. It was definitely not a good thing, and Qin Luofei’s first instinct was so.
Imperial Consort Leng was a person who couldn’t afford to lose anything, since she had spoken, she would like to see what kind of medicine she was up to.
Imperial Consort Yu pulled on Qin Luofei’s sleeves, signalling for her not to follow. Qin Luofei lightly patted her hand to reassure her.
“What is Concubine Qin busy with recently?” The first person Imperial Consort Leng thought of was still Qin Luofei.
Qin Luofei replied, “Reporting to the Empress, chenqie has nothing better to do in the future. I can only spend time in the courtyard, reading some books.”
“It’s such an elegant event, it’s a pity that your Princess Tranquil died young. Otherwise, Little Sister Qin wouldn’t be so depressed.” The Imperial Consort Leng’s tone did not contain a trace of sympathy. Instead, she emphasized on her tone.
Imperial Consort Leng had deliberately picked her scar, and now this matter could no longer hurt her heart. After so many life and death experiences, grief and sorrow had intersected, and heartache had become a habit.
“Many thanks for the Empress’s concern, chenqie has already forgotten.” “The Empress should also take care of her body, lest she falls into the same situation as chenqie.” Who knew how many times Qin Luofei had cursed this woman. She did not have such a kind heart to wish her and the children of the Emperor Ming a safe and healthy life. The wicked would eventually get their retribution, but this woman was still safe and sound from her past life until now. Qin Luofei refused to accept this outcome, she refused to accept this outcome!
“Daring Concubine Qin, you dare to curse Imperial Concubine, what crime do you think you should have?” Su Fei couldn’t stand it any longer.
The corner of Imperial Consort Leng’s mouth rose. Her initial decision was indeed the right one, she knew how to stand up and protect herself at this moment.
“Esteemed Empress Su, chenqie doesn’t understand your words. chenqie was only trying to persuade esteemed wangfei to rest well. How did she end up cursing esteemed wangfei?” Qin Luofei sneered.
“You still dare to quibble? Your Princess Tranquil is dead, are you jealous?” Su Fei Fei said bluntly. She noticed Imperial Consort Leng’s expression from the corner of her eyes, and noticed that she seemed to be very satisfied with what she had said.
Qin Luofei glanced at Su Fei lightly, and said: “Su Fei, those words should be about you, right? “Having served the emperor for so long, why hasn’t there been any news about esteemed empress Su’s stomach? Chenqie is truly anxious for the empress’s sake.”
If people respect themselves, they must respect others first. How others treated her, she would naturally return it to them in double. The harem was a place where bullying the strong and bullying the weak went against the weak.
Su Fei was enraged and said, “You … …”
“Alright, we’re all sisters, there’s no need to be angry.” Imperial Consort Leng pretended to be a good person as she advised.
Qin Luofei had a face full of suspicion. Since when was this woman so polite? At this moment, she felt a chill coming from behind her.
“We pay our respects to the Emperor!”
Everyone saluted, and Emperor Ming stood behind Qin Luofei. So it turns out that this woman had long seen the arrival of the Emperor Ming, which was why she said such tactful words.
“Concubine Qin will repeat what you just said again.” Emperor Ming’s deep voice, filled with killing intent, did not allow Qin Luofei to reject it in the slightest.
“Your majesty, chenqie was just speaking without thinking.” Qin Luofei lowered her head and said softly.
Su Fei, who was at the side, snickered. They wanted to see how Emperor Ming would deal with this woman.
“Casually? What exactly did Concubine Qin say just now? ” Emperor Ming did not continue to let Qin Luofei explain. Instead, he told Su Fei Fei to explain.
This dog-emperor didn’t even give her the chance to explain herself, Qin Luofei thought in her heart, this isn’t good.
“Your majesty, Concubine Qin was cursing Imperial Consort Leng just now, and you still despise your concubine for not being able to bear the child of your majesty the Emperor up till now.” As she spoke, Su Fei’s mucus ran down her nose. This woman’s acting skills are truly amazing.
“Your majesty, chenqie didn’t mean that just now.” Qin Luofei spoke before the Emperor Ming opened his mouth to speak.
“Concubine Qin, you have guts to actually dare to ignore the Emperor.” Imperial Consort Leng made another stab.
The Emperor Ming’s face darkened as he became angry from embarrassment.
“Concubine Qin, what do you have to say? You are the person who causes the most trouble in the imperial harem. ” After all, she was the only woman he cared about, and the only reason she would be able to catch her all in one fell swoop was because of her.
Qin Luofei tried to explain, “Your Majesty, chenqie didn’t mean that. “Your majesty, please don’t use just the words of Su Fei alone to frame chenqie.”
“Concubine Qin, just now, Concubine Qin and I heard what you said. Who wronged you?” No matter what, Imperial Consort Leng must let Emperor Ming punish this woman today.
“Your majesty, chenqie can testify as well.” Concubine Qin glanced at Qin Luofei coldly, in accordance to Imperial Consort Leng’s words.
“Concubine Qin, do you have anything else to say?” Emperor Ming glared at Qin Luofei.
Qin Luofei raised her head to look at Emperor Ming, her eyes filled with unwillingness.
Emperor Ming was stung by her gaze. Why is this woman’s gaze so worried? Could it be that she still hates me? Because of peace?
“Your majesty, chenqie is wrongly accused.” Qin Luofei was very stubborn.
“Your Majesty, chenqie can testify that Concubine Qin did not say that just now.” Imperial Consort Yu interrupted and said.
Emperor Ming glanced at Imperial Consort Yu. She hadn’t lost much weight these few days. He couldn’t help but feel apologetic in his heart. This woman was willing to give it up for his life, but he had been completely bewitched by Su Fei and had forgotten about her.
The Emperor Ming was silent.
Imperial Consort Leng had been staring at Emperor Ming, she wanted to see who among these women held the most weight in her heart.
Su Fei’s sobs became louder and louder.
“Your majesty, chenqie has been doted upon by the emperor recently, so it’s hard to avoid some people’s jealousy. chenqie does not request the emperor to help her vent her anger, but begs Concubine Qin to apologize.” Su Fei’s face was aggrieved as she pleaded at Emperor Ming.
“What have I done wrong? Why should I apologize? ” Qin Luofei was still unable to control her temper as she shouted angrily at Su Fei.
“How dare you, Concubine Qin, shut up.” Emperor Ming became even more furious when he heard Qin Luofei’s words.
“Your Majesty, look at her attitude. If Your Majesty doesn’t punish her this time, how will Chenqie be able to establish herself in the harem in the future?” I’m afraid even the palace maids would not listen to me. ”
Su Fei’s pitiful and pitiful appearance, coupled with the slight red rims around her eyes, got a lot of sympathy from the Emperor Ming.
Qin Luofei’s expression did not change. This was originally a very small matter, she did not expect Su Fei to make use of this opportunity. That way, he could let her see this woman’s true appearance.
“Love Consort, then how do you want us to deal with this?” Emperor Ming walked in front of Su Fei and asked in a soft voice.
“Just an apology.”
“Your Majesty, look at how lenient Su Fei is towards her. Concubine Qin only needs to say sorry to her when she says that. On the contrary, Concubine Qin, look at her attitude. ” Imperial Consort Leng berated Qin Luofei.
“Alright, let Imperial Consort Leng handle this matter.”
Emperor Ming didn’t want to manage the harem, so he handed over the authority to Imperial Consort Leng.
“Your Majesty, chenqie will definitely punish these unruly consorts.” Imperial Consort Leng revealed a smile.
This time, Qin Luofei was in a terrible situation. Who was to blame for giving it to this woman?
Before Emperor Ming left, he gave Qin Luofei a fierce glare, causing her to reveal a look of disappointment. If he gave himself to the Imperial Consort Leng for punishment, wouldn’t that be asking her to die?
After Emperor Ming left, he spoke slowly.
“Concubine Qin, you heard it too. The Emperor said to let me punish him.” Imperial Consort Leng smiled sinisterly.
“What do you want?” With an expression as though she would rather die than submit, Qin Luofei swept a glance at Su Fei who was at the side. He had never offended this woman before, but now she was actually harming him like this.
Imperial Consort Leng pursed her lips and laughed: “We are all sisters, and I, the lord, will not care too much about this matter. I will punish you to kneel in the imperial garden tomorrow and properly reflect on your actions.”
“The Empress is wise.” Concubine Qin who was standing at the side covered her mouth and laughed.
Su Fei Fei felt more and more uneasy as she stared at Qin Luofei. This woman wasn’t that easy to mess with. Would she retaliate against him for doing this? However, in order to curry favor with the Imperial Consort Leng, she could only do so.
The news of Qin Luofei being punished to kneel spread throughout the imperial harem.
“Miss, is this true?” Daffodil Dayflower came back from outside and asked.
“Nothing.” Qin Luofei said indifferently.
She was somewhat regretful that she was unable to control her temper.
“Miss, your health is not good, how can you kneel?” Daffodil Daydream said.
Qin Luofei faintly smiled, and said: “It’s only kneeling for a few hours, I can still bear it.”
In her previous life, she would never have thought that she would be reduced to such a state. However, she would definitely let this woman who harmed her know that she, Qin Luofei, was also not that easy to mess with.
“Miss, Imperial Consort Leng is going too far.” Dusk chrysanthemum felt injustice for Qin Luofei.
Qin Luofei lightly said, “Endure a little peace, and one day, I will make her regret it.”
From Pearl’s death until now, Qin Luofei had suspected that this woman was not ordinary. But now, she actually made herself lose face in front of the emperor in exchange for a penalty of kneeling in the imperial garden. She was not well, and she could not be better.
