The Legitimate Daughter Empress - C224
Chapter 223 – Crimes against the Monarch
After being silent in the harem for so long, it was time for her to explode.
“Concubine Qin, you aren’t feeling very well. This Concubine won’t disturb you for too long. Goodbye.” Seeing Qin Luofei’s gaze, Su Fei felt uncomfortable all over. This woman seemed to have seen through her.
“Take care.”
Qin Luofei watched Su Fei leave, secretly rejoicing in her heart. The rest would depend on this woman’s performance. If she did not guess wrong, her target should be the Emperor Ming.
It seemed like the emperor had quite a few enemies as well. However, even if he wanted to die, he would do so by his own hands. Currently, she wouldn’t allow others to easily kill him.
She was the one who was going to kill him. He owed her too much.
Xi Hua told Qin Luofei about the events of the past three days. After knowing the whole story, Qin Luofei was extremely grateful to Leng Mu.
It seemed necessary to thank him personally, and by the way, to find out who he really was. Why did he always have to help him time and time again? This was a crime of bullying the Emperor. If the Emperor were to find out, his life would be in danger at any moment.
“It’s been hard on you these few days. Sunflower, go back and have a good rest.” Qin Luofei looked at the dark circles under Daihua’s eyes and felt her heart ache.
“Miss, it’s good that you came back safely. I’m fine.”
Qin Luofei faintly smiled, she felt gratified that she had such a caring maid.
She got up and headed towards the Taiyuan Hospital. When she walked to the door, she saw smoke rising from within. What were they doing? Qin Luofei stepped into the room with a curious look on her face.
“Concubine Qin, don’t come in yet.” Leng Mu walked out from inside, and then pulled her wrist and walked out of the Taiyuan Hospital.
The moment Qin Luofei’s hand was pulled by his, her heartbeat inexplicably quickened. She couldn’t remember how long it had been since she had felt this way, and it made her uneasy. This feeling was exactly the same as the feeling she had when she first saw Emperor Ming in her previous life. She had once vowed to never pay for love again, but now she felt this kind of throbbing that left her at a loss for what to do.
Qin Luofei subconsciously flung Leng Mu’s hand away.
“Master Leng, what’s wrong?”
“I was refining medicine just now. This kind of gas might not be good for my body.”
“Refining medicine? What medicine are you refining? ”
“Even if I told you this, you wouldn’t understand. Are you looking for Imperial Physician Lin?” Leng Mu did not feel the slightest change in Qin Luofei’s expression.
“I’ve come to find you. Thanks for helping me hide this matter from you this morning.”
“No need for words of thanks, I only raised my hand, but Concubine Qin, where did you go this morning?”
“This is not convenient to say. I will explain it to Master Leng another time.”
Qin Luofei looked behind Leng Mu and saw a palace maid staring at the two of them. There were too many spies in Imperial Consort Leng, and when she came out, she had been very careful to be targeted by them.
Leng Mu looked in the direction of her eyes and also discovered her eyes.
“Take care, Concubine Qin.” Leng Mu bowed as he sent Qin Luofei off with his eyes.
Su Fei returned to Bright Moon Hall, feeling very uneasy. It looked like he had to take action in the next few days. If he did not act now, Qin Luofei would expose him in front of Emperor Ming. The consequences were unimaginable.
Su Fei wrote a note. This could be her will. Even if she had to die, she had to take revenge. Otherwise, wouldn’t she have wasted her life for nothing?
Ever since that incident last time, it had been a little difficult for her to even see the Emperor Ming once. There were many more guards in the Emperor Ming, and there were even more guards outside the royal study. Seeing him, it was even harder than ascending to the heavens. Adding to what Emperor Ming said last time, if she took the initiative to look for him, she would probably be rejected.
Su Fei thought of a person. Although Imperial Consort Leng didn’t have 100% trust in her, asking her for help shouldn’t be a problem. Since entering the palace, she hadn’t returned to her parents’ home. This request wasn’t too much.
Without delay, she immediately headed to Jin Se Palace.
Seeing Su Fei Imperial Consort Leng made her tired. Recently, she had been wandering around under her eyelids frequently, giving her a headache.
“What’s the matter?” Imperial Consort Leng slowly said as she slightly parted her lips.
Su Fei told Imperial Consort Leng her purpose for coming here, hoping that she would grant her wish.
Exiting the palace? What was Su Fei planning now? After Imperial Consort Leng heard her request, she couldn’t help but be curious.
“Why do you suddenly want to return to the Su Clan?” Imperial Consort Leng asked.
“I’ve never gone back to the palace, so I miss my family.” Su Fei Fei’s eyes were filled with worry. She could only use this method to get sympathy from Imperial Consort Leng.
“I approve of you, but I must ask the Emperor for his opinion.” No matter what the purpose was, the Imperial Consort Leng agreed to her request first.
Su Fei didn’t expect things to go so smoothly. She sat in the pavilion in the imperial garden and planned her next move.
It was a sunny day with no clouds in the sky above the palace. Su Fei looked up at the sky, and her eyes were inexplicably red. If he succeeded in this plan, the entire imperial court would experience a tremendous change. If he did not succeed, he might never be able to see the beautiful sky again.
“Su Fei, why are you here alone?” Consort Shu walked up from the other side of the pavilion.
Did this fake Su Fei know her purpose in coming to the palace? After the Consort Shu found out her identity, he was extremely wary of her. She even brought two guards behind her.
“Just looking around, Consort Shu seems to be in a good mood?” The corners of Su Fei’s mouth rose as she became stiff.
Consort Shu stared at her with reddened eyes. Was she crying? She walked to her side and slowly sat down. A pair of eyes that could speak seemed to have seen through Su Fei’s heart. Su Fei turned her head away guiltily.
“Not in a good mood?” Consort Shu asked.
“Nope.”
“Is there something hard to say about Su Fei? Why are your eyes so sad? ”
As a virtuous and virtuous Consort Shu, she hoped that this matter could be handled peacefully. Since Su Xin lived in an unknown place in the Su Mansion, as long as she had no ill intentions, he would be able to continue being her Su Fei.
“Nope.”
Su Fei didn’t want to say much, because she knew that no one could understand the hatred in her heart.
“Since you are unwilling to speak, I will not ask any further. But I still hope that you will be fine, Su Fei. Don’t do anything stupid. This was also the last time Consort Shu tried to persuade her kindly. Although she was from Imperial Consort Leng’s side, Consort Shu couldn’t help but look at her with some pity.
When Consort Shu leaves, I hope she does her best.
After Qin Luofei found out that Emperor Ming had come to visit her, the next day, she went to Cool Hall to look for him. Of course, it wasn’t just for this reason that she came here this time,
Mainly because of Su Fei.
Yesterday night, when Qin Luofei went to Bright Moon Hall, she discovered that Su Fei Fei’s room had some clothes on. She was even more certain that Su Fei Fei had made some moves in the next few days and that the Emperor Ming was in danger.
It wasn’t that Su Fei didn’t know martial arts, it was just that she had hidden her strength.
This time, Emperor Ming did not refuse to see her. He had said yesterday that he was bedridden and had come to see him today. He couldn’t help but be suspicious.
“Why is Concubine Qin here?”
Emperor Ming was holding onto a white chess piece, and was surprised to see her here.
“The emperor went to the Huishang Hall to visit her yesterday. Chenqie was in the Taiyuan Hospital to treat her illness, and I feel like my body has already recovered. I have come here specifically to thank the Emperor Ming for showing concern for me.”
Qin Luofei walked in front of Emperor Ming and carefully sized up his chess piece.
Why are you being so courteous, Concubine Qin knows how to play chess? Emperor Ming looked at her as she stared at the chess board and asked.
“Yes. If the Emperor allows it, can chenqie put down a chess piece? Your white chess piece will lose for sure.”
Qin Luofei had already seen through the flaw in this chess piece.
“Yes.” Emperor Ming actually wanted to see if she had that kind of intelligence. He pondered for two hours and still hadn’t opened the chessboard.
Qin Luofei’s slender hands grabbed a black chess piece and gently put it down. Emperor Ming was dumbstruck, he did not notice this flaw just now.
“Not bad, come and play with me for a few rounds.”
Qin Luofang sat down, and it was rare for her to please him. After sitting down, she played a few chess pieces consecutively with the Emperor Ming. Although she had the confidence to win every single time, she still chose to be humble on purpose.
“Concubine Qin, there’s no need to be modest on purpose. We can afford to lose.” Emperor Ming stared at Qin Luofei’s small hand, and suddenly said.
“The emperor overestimates chenqie’s intelligence, but chenqie still lost to the emperor.” Qin Luofei wore a humble expression. She did not want to suffer because of a momentary loss or victory. Emperor Ming’s personality had changed drastically. He was always angry and his methods were also very cruel. Therefore, she could only act humbly on purpose. She didn’t expect that he would see through her.
“Concubine Qin, I think you have something to say that you came here today.”
He could always understand her thoughts. Qin Luofei told the Emperor Ming what she discovered. and told Emperor Ming to be more careful after today.
“Concubine Qin seems to be extremely worried about our safety, but why should we believe you based on what you have said? Or do you already have evidence of her assassination? ” There was no need to be courteous. It was either adultery or theft. Emperor Ming was a shrewd person, he had even more of a suspicion towards Qin Luofei.
“Your Majesty, ever since you unsealed your chenqie, you have been a quiet person who neither fought nor fought over. Now that I’ve unintentionally discovered this matter, I also hesitated for a long time to tell you. I knew that if I did, it would only arouse the Emperor’s suspicions towards me. “Regardless of whether you believe it or not, I just hope that you can be more careful in the next few days.”
Qin Luofei also didn’t want to say much, the Emperor Ming wasn’t someone who could be easily convinced.
“Alright, I shall trust you this once. I hope your judgement in Concubine Qin is correct.”
Emperor Ming immediately thought that this woman was very interesting and came here to tell him that Su Fei was unfavorable towards him. Just yesterday, Imperial Consort Leng had sought him out and allowed Su Fei Fei to return to her family. Emperor Ming suddenly felt that this matter was indeed fishy.
Su Fei was ready to make her move.
In the dark and windy night, a strong wind was blowing, as if it was the sign of a heavy rain.
“Miss, it’s going to rain heavily soon.” Sunflower put away her clothes and hurried into the house.
Qin Luofei stood by the window watching the downpour, feeling faintly uneasy in her heart. Would she hit him tonight? Qin Luofei thought to herself. Although she knew Su Fei Fei would make her move sooner or later, she still couldn’t guess what sort of method she would use.
“Daffodil Dayflower, go get an umbrella.” Qin Luofei believed her intuition, it should be tonight.
“Miss, it’s going to rain heavily. Are you still going to go out? “It’s not safe outside.”
As soon as Sunflower finished her sentence, the sound of thunder became deafening. Big drops of rain fell and splashed on the ground.
“I’m in a hurry.”
Qin Luofei opened her umbrella and headed to Cool Hall. Due to the heavy rain, the patrolling guards were not that frequent, and the fierce wind blew all the trees in the palace into a mess, some of the small trees even got uprooted. Under these circumstances, even the shouts would be blown away by the wind.
