The Legitimate Daughter Empress - C235
Chapter 234 – Female ghosts
Seeing that Imperial Consort Yu only ate so little food, Qin Luofei couldn’t help but try to persuade him.
“Why don’t you take a few bites? If this goes on, it won’t be a solution. How can the body handle it? ”
“Qin Luofei, I still need a few more days. I believe that a few more days will pass before I can improve.” The Imperial Consort Yu had only been released from prison a few days ago, so she thought that she would be able to recover in a few days.
“Alright, if you feel any discomfort, remember to find an imperial physician in time.” Qin Luofei asked with concern.
Imperial Consort Yu nodded and walked out of the courtyard with Qin Luofei. Right now, she was confined to a month’s time and could only walk around Jade Phoenix Hall. If it wasn’t for Imperial Concubine Qin coming to visit, Xiao Qin would be by her side everyday, making her seem extremely lonely.
Imperial Consort Yu, who had only walked a few steps, was exhausted. Even her breathing was a little hurried. Her body was getting worse and worse every day, and she was even finding it difficult to walk. They went through the willows to sit in the pavilion and talk, and the chirping birds of the willows flew merrily back and forth, a sense of joy and freedom that the women of their deep palaces could never hope for in their lives.
“Sister Qin, when will we be able to fly freely like these happy birds?” Imperial Consort Yu’s eyes were filled with envy.
Her heart ached for Imperial Consort Yu, but she also pitied herself. In her previous life, she already knew that entering the Imperial Palace was a path of no return, but now, she had come to this place that she hated.
“Freedom, every step we take is our choice, and now there is no turning back. The only thing we can do is to go on bravely. The most important thing is to take care of ourselves. ”
In this luxurious palace, they were like birds imprisoned in cages. Although they were admired by outsiders, they had no idea of the difficulties and helplessness they were facing. If one day her hatred was avenged, she would rather leave this place and live a free life.
“Sister Qin, have you thought of leaving?” Imperial Consort Yu suddenly asked.
“Leave? “So what? It’s impossible.”
“Why don’t we leave together?” Imperial Consort Yu thought that as long as they left the palace, they would be able to live a free life. However, she had forgotten that they were now the noble concubines of the Emperor Ming, so even if they died, they would have to die in the palace.
“Do you think we will let you go if we leave the Emperor Ming?” Qin Luofei was an experienced person, and she knew this better than anyone else.
Imperial Consort Yu sighed. It might have been a mistake to look for him from the beginning. So what if it was her savior? If it weren’t for Qin Luofei’s pleas for mercy, she might have lost her life in prison.
“Don’t think too much into it. Since you’ve already made your choice, you should walk forward bravely. Don’t you still have me?” Qin Luofeng’s words actually made her heart feel warm. Friendship was far better than love, especially when faced with a man who could not give himself a single love.
“Mm, I will take good care of myself and help my body recover earlier.” Every time Imperial Consort Yu lost faith in her own life, it was Qin Luofei who would give her encouragement, allowing her to see the hope to survive once again.
“Do not ever think too hard. Since you have the courage to die, why don’t you have the courage to continue living? That’s what I always think, whenever I can’t think straight. ” Qin Luofei repeatedly encouraged the Imperial Consort Yu.
On this day, they chatted about the heavens and the earth, describing many of their dreams of a future, as well as the beautiful world outside the palace. After Qin Luofei left the Jade Phoenix Hall, her expression once again became indecisive.
Seeing her like this, Daffodil Daydream, who was following by her side, didn’t dare to ask any further and just silently accompanied her.
They walked together down the palace veranda.
Dazzling Spring could not help but cheer, “Miss, look after those beautiful flowers!”
“The Imperial Palace is actually so lawless.” As she was running off, she didn’t notice that the Imperial Consort Leng in front of her had accidentally touched one of her sleeves.
“I’m sorry, this servant did not do it on purpose.” Daffodil Daydream quickly knelt down.
Qin Luofei walked around the corner and saw the Imperial Consort Leng. It seemed that this woman was looking for trouble again. Imperial Consort Leng who was standing in front of him wore a plastered pink dress, and her protruding stomach could be seen at a glance.
This woman really did use every method at her disposal to make things difficult for herself. Now that she was already a noble concubine and on equal footing with her, she wanted to see what she wanted to do with her.
“Imperial Consort Leng, Daffodil Daydream accidentally touched the corner of your clothes, why would she be angry? Anger does not have a good effect on the fetus. ” Qin Luofei said in a sour tone.
If you respect yourself before you respect others, then she will double the way she treated herself in the past.
“To be promoted from concubine to imperial concubine, your tone is quite arrogant. Who knows if you, a maid who doesn’t know the rules, are careless or if it is intentional. There are only a handful of imperial concubines in the imperial harem who possess a dragon embryo. As she spoke, Imperial Consort Leng looked down at the chrysanthemum beneath her, she slowly moved her body and immediately wanted to step on it.
“Daisy, get up.” How could Qin Luofei possibly watch as she bullied the person in front of her? She personally went up to help Daihua up.
“It’s no wonder that the servants of the Huishang Hall are so ignorant to the rules, following a person like you who doesn’t understand the rules. If she were to bump into my stomach today, I’ll see how you explain it to the emperor. I’ll just help Imperial Concubine Qin teach this maid a lesson. ”
“I don’t need you to teach my people a lesson. It’s best if you don’t worry about having a baby! If the weather is bad, Emperor Ming will punish you for not protecting his child well. ”
Qin Luofei walked past Imperial Consort Leng while holding the chrysanthemum in her hand. This woman wanted to make things difficult for her, and had underestimated her. Imperial Consort Leng was so angry that her face turned red. If it wasn’t for Su Fei’s incident last time, she would still be a concubine right now.
Miss, you just offended the Imperial Consort Leng for my sake, aren’t you afraid that she will take revenge on you?
“What’s there to be afraid of? Right now, I’m one person and she is two. A woman that can’t even protect herself yet dares to challenge me. I should go deal with her trusted aides first.”
After Concubine Qin was demoted, she no longer paid attention to him. She heard that Concubine Qin had repeatedly sought Imperial Consort Leng for help to plead for mercy, but what she got in return was Imperial Consort Leng’s refusal. She never thought that Concubine Qin would not dare to stop her. She, Qin Luofei, wanted to keep her life!
She returned to the Huishang Hall and drank up the antidote that the Imperial Physician Lin had given her. However, Qin Jie still sent people to poison them and even sent people to Huishang Hall to gather information. Today, she deliberately asked Daihua to leave the door wide open, and they put on a good show.
With a “peng”, the teacup in Qin Luofei’s hand rolled to the ground.
“Miss, what’s wrong?” Daffodil Daydream supported Qin Luofei as tears streamed down her cheeks.
“Quick, invite the Imperial Physician Lin.” Qin Luofei closed his eyes, and Daihua carried her back to his room, heading straight to Taiyuan Hospital.
Just as she was about to leave the Huishang Hall, she saw the scout outside the door. Daihua’s acting became even more exaggerated, crying as she went to the royal physician.
The scout immediately returned to the demoted Concubine Qin and told her everything.
Who asked her to use the Emperor Ming to leave me here. Sister? I have such a good sister. I have finally taken my revenge. It’s the same if no one helps me. ” The Concubine Qin gave him a sinister look.
She was no longer the beautiful Concubine Qin. Ever since she was demoted to this place, she had become dim and lifeless. No matter how she dressed, she could no longer be compared to before. According to the medicine she gave Qin Luofei every three days, she would at most not live past tonight. And all she had to do was sit here and wait for news of her death.
The Imperial Physician Lin and Qin Luofei had put on a good show, thoroughly deceiving the Concubine Qin. From time to time, he would shake her head and sigh when she walked out of the Huishang Hall’s entrance.
“Daihua, take good care of your young miss. She can only survive two hours at most.”
“Imperial Physician Lin, I beg of you, please save my Young Miss.” The tears on Daihua’s face were so vivid that they fooled the scout’s eyes. Imperial Physician Lin coordinated very well, and no one knew that this was just a trap they had set up.
The scouts waited outside for two hours before they finally heard the wailing from inside. After confirming that Qin Luofei had died from poison, they went back to report this to the Concubine Qin.
“As I said, if I am able to regain the favor of the Emperor Ming one day, I will naturally not treat you unfairly.” Concubine Qin had a very bright future. The only person in the palace who liked to oppose him the most, Qin Luofei, was poisoned to death by him. Her future was bright.
Concubine Qin laughed out loud while holding her wine cup.
Although the shabby courtyard seemed a little desolate, she could only sing along with the wine.
The woman was responsible for all the forgotten corners of the palace.
She was too happy that she was dead.
“Why did the Emperor abandon me here for her without mercy?” He had initially cheered for himself in the beginning and cried in the end, thinking that it would be better to kill this woman, but he didn’t get the Emperor Ming’s care and love, making her unable to leave this place.
“Because you are too vicious.” A voice, distant and distant, echoed over her yard.
A cold and gloomy night wind blew over, the already slightly drunk Concubine Qin couldn’t help but shiver. Wasn’t that Qin Luofei’s voice? If she wasn’t already dead, why would he still hear her voice?
“Who are you?” The Concubine Qin hurriedly stood up and went into the courtyard to shout.
“Who killed me? Could it be that you can’t recognize me so quickly?” Her voice was so cold that it seemed to come from behind her.
Concubine Qin turned around, but she still could not see anyone.
“Men, men!” Concubine Qin had even forgotten that there was no servant girl when Emperor Ming relegated her to this place. Furthermore, she sent poison maids and spies to help her deal with it only because she had used the money previously.
“Even as a ghost, I won’t forgive you.”
Concubine Qin felt Qin Luofei’s voice resounding right beside her ears. She turned her head slightly, and the person who appeared in front of her was Qin Luofei, whose face was pale and whose seven apertures were bleeding.
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”
Concubine Qin fainted.
After an unknown period of time, she woke up from being drenched by the night dew. He vaguely remembered hearing Qin Luofei’s voice when he was drunk, and was terrified. Wasn’t she already dead? Why did he appear here?
Concubine Qin ran back to the house in a hurry. The house was dark. She could only rely on the dim moonlight to find a fire piston and light the candle in her room. Seeing the light, she finally relaxed.
