The Legitimate Daughter Empress - C223
Chapter 222 – Empress Leng’s Deficit
Concubine Qin followed Su Fei and went back with her, leaving concubine Luo behind.
“Master Leng, what is going on?” concubine Luo asked.
“Nothing, you can go back too. It’s fine, Concubine Qin will be fine too. ” Leng Mu heaved a sigh of relief. If the Emperor were to know that the Concubine Qin was going to leave the palace, then the Concubine Qin would probably be in danger.
Sunflower was constantly grateful to Leng Mu. If not for him, Concubine Qin would have definitely been punished.
“Daihua, when will your concubine return to the palace?”
“I don’t know either. I hope you can come back as soon as possible.”
“You can go back. If she doesn’t come back today, there might be some trouble tomorrow.” You try to get in touch with her. ” Leng Mu’s tone was reproachful, but it was full of concern.
Xi Hua shook her head helplessly, “I can’t contact the Miss, so I can only wait for her to come back.”
Imperial Consort Yu was moved by Emperor Ming’s actions. Emperor Ming had always been by her side. Previously, because of Su Fei Fei’s matter, she had an opinion of him, but seeing how nervous he looked when she fainted today, Imperial Consort Yu felt happy just thinking about it.
“Love Consort, are you alright?”
“Your majesty, just dizzy. But after a short rest, everything will be fine.”
“I am so worried. Nothing can happen to you, or I will blame myself for the rest of my life.” Emperor Ming looked at Imperial Consort Yu affectionately, and thought of how he owed Empress Leng. In this life, he wouldn’t owe anyone who was good to him. Especially a woman who was willing to sacrifice her life for him.
“Your majesty, seeing you so nervous for your concubine, your concubine is really happy.”
“Seeing you say such silly things again, if I don’t treat you well, who else can I treat?”
Emperor Ming gently stared at the woman in front of him.
“Why are you so good to me? Is it because I saved you? ”
“No, it’s because you love me.” Emperor Ming stood up and turned his face. He didn’t want anyone to see the redness in his eyes. The Imperial Consort Yu reminded him of the Empress Leng. He had actually killed that childhood sweetheart of his, the woman who cared about everything for him.
“Your majesty, what happened to you?” Imperial Consort Leng climbed up with difficulty.
“It’s fine. You can rest. I’ll go back first.”
Imperial Consort Leng was furious when she returned to her bedroom. Su Fei didn’t tell her that Concubine Qin had followed him out of the palace, but she still couldn’t find anything wrong with her.
“Su Fei, are you sure you saw the Concubine Qin leave the palace with the Consort Shu?”
“Imperial Consort Leng, did you not realize that Leng Mu is obviously protecting Concubine Qin today? Concubine Qin must still be outside the palace, which is why they are obstructing us. ”
“But today is really a coincidence, Imperial Consort Yu fainted just in time.”
“Right, the reason why Imperial Consort Yu is like that is because she is afraid of the Emperor discovering it, right? You should know that she is someone from the Concubine Qin.”
“Does that mean Leng Mu is with them too?”
“Seems like they are working together. Leng Mu seems to be very shrewd, he does not look like an ordinary person.” Su Fei said.
“Not an ordinary person? What do you mean by that, Su Fei? ”
Su Fei’s eyes turned as she said: “Empress, don’t you feel that Leng Mu’s bearing is far different from an ordinary palace lady? He seems to have an aura about him, which can only mean that he is unspeakable. ”
Su Fei said out her first impression of Leng Mu.
“If you say it like that, I also feel that Leng Mu is a little strange, but I can’t say what’s wrong. But as long as it’s someone with Qin Luofei, they will be our enemy. Those who block me do not have a good ending, so I do not believe that I will not be able to catch her weakness. ” The Imperial Consort Leng said coldly.
Su Fei wished that Qin Luofei could die, and said quickly: “Imperial Concubine, should we go back to Huishang Hall to take a look?”
If it wasn’t for the fact that Imperial Consort Yu ruined my plans, Concubine Qin and I would have already been punished. I think she is very likely pretending to be sick, and singing the same tune as Leng Mu is precisely for the sake of helping Concubine Qin. ” Imperial Consort Leng said hatefully.
Concubine Qin was really popular, to have so many people willing to help her, she had underestimated her connections in the harem.
“Imperial Concubine, I’ll go ask around. As long as I find anything, I’ll immediately tell you.” Su Fei said.
“Su Fei, why did you suddenly set your sights on Concubine Qin?” The Imperial Consort Leng was curious.
Su Fei said, “When I was sick, she went to visit me. Afterwards, I returned a visit and was rejected by her servant. Afterwards, I realized that something was not right.”
“Return visit? Why did you return the visit? ”
Imperial Consort Leng was very wary of Su Fei. After what happened last time. Traces of doubt appeared in her eyes. Su Fei saw all of this.
“Imperial Concubine, don’t misunderstand. Chenqie knows that you have always been looking down on Concubine Qin. That’s why I contacted her on my own accord. That way, I can report back to you if there’s any trouble. ”
Su Fei lowered her head and pursed her lips. Imperial Consort Leng was not a woman that could be easily deceived.
“You may leave.”
Imperial Consort Leng had a look of disgust on her face. She had messed up the plans she had made today with Imperial Consort Yu, and thinking about it made her feel extremely unhappy.
Su Fei left. She did not return to her room, but chose to linger outside the door of Huishang Hall. She did not believe that Qin Luofei was still in the palace.
Daffodil Daydream quickly discovered that Su Fei was outside and could not help but feel apprehensive. It was unknown when the Miss would return. If she did not return, even the Imperial Consort Yu might not be able to save her.
The Huishang Hall was cold and cheerless, the only sound being the occasional bird that flew over from the courtyard. Daffodil Daydream’s heart was beating rapidly, every second was torture to her.
Qin Luofei and Consort Shu finally returned to the palace. After changing the clothes of the maidservants, she rushed back to Huishang Hall. Qin Luofei looked around her along the way. It had already been three days since she left the palace, so she didn’t know how to deal with Daffodil Daydream.
Qin Luofei saw Su Fei standing at the entrance of Huishang Hall from afar. Who was this woman waiting for? This woman had snuck into the palace. If she were to tell Emperor Ming everything, this woman would definitely not end up well.
“Su Fei, this is …” This woman definitely wouldn’t come here for no reason. However, he wasn’t afraid of anything now that he had her on his hands.
Thinking up to this point, the corners of Qin Luofei’s mouth couldn’t help but rise. What else could this woman take to fight against her?
Su Fei Fei tightly gripped the silk handkerchief in her hand when she saw Qin Luofei’s expression. Why was this woman staring at her like that? Had she discovered his identity?
“I happened to be passing by, so I casually came in to take a look at the Concubine Qin. I’ve heard that you’re quite sick, but it seems like you have a pretty good expression right now. ”
Sick? Qin Luofei slightly frowned, probably guessing that Daffodil Dayflower intentionally said that she was sick in order to hide her identity from others.
“I feel much better today. Su Fei, I will have to trouble you to take care of this. Do you not mind Huishang Hall’s crude words?”
The reason she left the palace this time was for her. Coincidentally, she had come here today to test the waters.
“How could he?”
The two of them walked into the Huishang Hall.
When Daihua heard the footsteps from outside, her entire body was covered in cold sweat. Could it be that Emperor Ming had come again? She hurried out of the main hall with brisk steps, but she tripped over the threshold. In the three days since the Miss had left, Daihua had been on tenterhooks.
“Daffodil Daydream.”
Qin Luofei had been shouting her name from afar.
“Miss, Miss has returned.” When Daihua heard Qin Luofei’s voice, she endured the pain in her foot and walked out.
When Su Fei heard this, her eyes lit up. It was impossible for her to say that she didn’t want to leave the palace. Daihua’s reaction had already told her that Qin Luofei had not been in the palace for the past few days.
Seeing that Su Fei was following behind her, Xi Ju’s tone immediately changed.
“Miss has finally returned from Taiyuan Hospital’s treatment. Why didn’t Master Leng send you back?” Daffodil Daydream looked at Qin Luofei with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
Qin Luofei was completely unaware of what had happened in the palace in the past three days, but Daffodil Daydream reminded her that she had probably guessed the lie she had concocted in the past three days.
“Yes, my whole body feels uncomfortable, and my heart feels a little stuffy.” Qin Luofei responded in a random manner, cooperating very well with Feverfew.
“Miss, haven’t you had your fill? The Emperor has come to visit you. Doctor Leng said that you are to soak in a room alone at Taiyuan Hospital. ”
Qin Luofei couldn’t help but admire Daihua’s ability to lie, but she had already roughly guessed the situation in the past three days.
“Concubine Qin, you have recovered quite well. Seeing your face turn red, I can tell that you have enjoyed a good morning.” Su Fei stood to the side and watched the two of them singing with each other. Did they really take her for a fool?
“Su Fei, I had a strange dream these past few days. Do you want to hear about it?” Qin Luofei wanted to destroy her might. He was clearly a double, yet he dared to act so arrogantly.
“I, on the other hand, want to hear the Concubine Qin’s dream.” Su Fei’s heart was already prepared. The reason why she wasn’t worried about Consort Shu exposing her was mostly because she knew that once her identity was exposed, it would implicate the entire Su Mansion. Even if she knew his identity, she wouldn’t be able to do anything to him.
“I dreamt that Su Fei was actually not Su Fei.” Qin Luofei lightly smiled as she spoke, taking a small sip of tea that was as fragrant as a teacup. She wanted to see how this woman would react.
Su Fei’s expression changed slightly. Could it be that she already knew his identity?
“A dream, no need to take it seriously.”
“But Su Fei, this dream of mine feels very real.”
“Is that so? Why is Concubine Qin saying all this to me? ”
Su Fei felt that the situation wasn’t right. She must have known something. What should she do now?
Could it be that Consort Shu followed her out to Su Mansion? It seemed that she couldn’t drag this on any longer. She had to get her revenge as soon as possible and leave this place.
Now, the Imperial Consort Leng didn’t trust him very much, so she had no backing.
“I’m just saying it casually. Has Su Fei ever thought of going back to her parents’ house to take a look?” You have been in the palace for so long, but you still haven’t returned to the Su Mansion! Don’t you miss your family? ”
“I do miss it, but it’s not easy to leave the palace. I actually plan to ask the Emperor to come out of the palace and visit mother in the next few days. ” She felt a sense of danger. If her identity was exposed, she would die sooner or later.
Qin Luofei became silent as she tried to guess her thoughts. If she wasn’t mistaken, this woman’s next step would be to complete the tasks she needed to complete before leaving this place. She had purposely let her know that she knew of her background, and had used her to facilitate her plans.
