To Be a Mighty Empress, Or Not to Be - C126

Xiang Rongcheng didn’t say anything, only looked at her with a complicated gaze. With his cold lips, even without saying anything, she could already guess who it was.

Li Mu, this man with deep thoughts, in his eyes, other people’s lives were as lowly as grass and flowers. Xiu Er followed beside her peacefully. How could he steal the treasures of the palace, even if he did steal them?

In the end, Li Mu had still killed everyone for his own plan, and he never would have thought that he was the one who would hear those words, while Xiu Er had to die for him in vain.

As he thought about this, Shi Anran’s expression became colder and colder. In the end, he laughed softly and said, “I think that the bud is only a Ephemeral Flower, he used his life in exchange for leisure …” Smiling, she turned around and left in a desolate manner.

Xiang Rongcheng did not understand what she wanted to express. After a long while, he ordered his men to deal with the dead Xiu Er, and sighed: “What is the point of this woman having so much emotions?”

Seeing that Shi Anran did not move at all after returning, Cui Yu said softly: “Aunt, although Sister Xiu Er is no longer here, I will do my best to serve aunt.”

Your service is to deliver my daily message to Li Ruolan?

Shi Anran glanced at her indifferently, then said: “Jadeite Jade, how do I usually treat you?”

“Aunt treated me extremely well.” She lowered her eyes and said.

“Oh? Since that’s the case, can you give me a reason? ”

Cui Yu’s eyes seemed to dodge, but she still acted dumb and said: “What did aunt say, this servant doesn’t understand aunt’s meaning.”

Shi Anran closed her eyes tiredly, as if she was unwilling to die, “Cui Yun, you better tell her what I mean.”

Cui Yun nodded, and then raised her chin: “Do you think that Aunt does not know about the news that you secretly delivered to Phoenix Maiden Palace behind her back? Aunty is only giving you one chance after another, but you don’t care about it at all.

Hearing that, Cui Yu only felt a loud sound in her head, then she kowtowed and begged for mercy: “This servant knows her wrongs, please spare my life, ah, truly this servant’s family members did not have any money to treat them, so when Zhu’er found me, this servant was blinded by the thought of money, and begged Aunt for mercy!”

“Is that so? If I remember correctly, your family didn’t seem to be sick when you hooked up with Zhu’er. These were not excuses! So, Jadeite, do you now understand why I treat you differently? You’re right, this is indeed a prejudice. ”

After saying that, Shi Anran slowly stood up and walked to her side. She looked down at the jade at her feet that was kneeling down, and said with an indifferent voice: “You intentionally tried to trick me by speaking to me in front of Xiu Er, but you also purposefully told me everything. Do you think that I wouldn’t know about all of this? I was just thinking, what other tricks do you have that you haven’t used yet? ”

“Servant …” “Your servant …” While Cui Yu was stuttering, she had nothing else to say.

Shi Anran waved his hand, “Go back to whomever you are. I can’t tolerate your existence any longer.”

As Cui Yu cried and begged for mercy, Cui Yun chased her out. When she came in, she saw that Shi Anran had already fallen asleep and did not disturb her.

Inside Phoenix Hall, Li Ruolan was laughing excitedly when she heard about this. “Is what you said true?”

“This servant dares not lie!” Jadeite spoke with her eyes downcast.

“Alright, reward!”

Zhu’er blessed her body and passed the silver taels she had prepared over. “In the future, there will still be plenty of money for you to enjoy by my side.”

Jadeite received the silver with trembling hands, pursed her lips and said, “This servant thanks the imperial concubine for her gift.”

“This Shi Anran is sensible!” In regards to the previous matter, Li Ruolan had thought that she would report him to the emperor, but he didn’t expect her to not tell him at all.

“She doesn’t know her own identity, how can she compare with you, esteemed Empress?” Pearl flattered with a smile.

“Alright, alright, stop flattering me. Follow me and see if my sister is better!” When he thought about Li Ruoxue, Li Ruolan couldn’t help but feel infuriated. Relying on her status as the meritorious general, Xiang Rongcheng actually dared to hit even the emperor’s Consort Candidate? Unfortunately, the emperor didn’t punish him at all, the more she thought about it, the more infuriating it made people feel.

The news of Li Ruoxue getting slapped twice by the young general, to the point of him spitting blood on the spot, was as though she had grown wings. Now that he saw her, she could only spit at her. She was just a Consort Candidate who seduced the young general, fortunately the Emperor didn’t chase her out of the palace.

Everyone said that words were fearsome, and in the past few days, Li Ruoxue had been driven mad by all these news. She frantically smashed everything in the room that she could get rid of, and continued to cause a ruckus throughout the day.

When Li Ruoxue entered the room, she saw the mess on the ground and sighed in relief, “Ruoxue, what are you doing?”

“Elder sister, I don’t want to live anymore …” The moment Li Ruoxue saw her, she started to cry loudly, as if she wanted to use this chance to express her grievances and unwillingness.

“You were too obvious at that time. Even elder sister could see that. Do you really want to become the young general’s man?” Li Ruolan was a little confused now. Didn’t Li Ruoxue want to become her concubine after pushing her head out of control at the beginning? How could she have her sights set on the young general in just a few days?

Hearing this, Li Ruoxue immediately held onto her sister’s hand tightly, and pleaded: “Elder sister, this matter was not what you had imagined at all. I did not intend to molest Xiang Rongcheng back then, it was … “Yes …”

“What is it?” Don’t tell me who pushed you. I saw clearly that there was no one around you. Ruoxue, your elder sister doesn’t want you to destroy yourself, understand? ”

“Sis, I really didn’t do it. Someone must have set me up on purpose!” Even in her dreams, she dreamed of becoming the emperor’s woman, so how could she possibly throw herself into the arms of a general? Li Ruoxue pulled her and explained nonstop.

In the end, Li Ruolan could only slowly exhale a breath of air and sincerely said, “I hope that won’t happen a second time in this kind of situation. Otherwise, even as a noble empress, Big Sis will not be able to save you!”

“But did I get beaten up for nothing?” Li Ruoxue’s face was now bluish purple, and half of it was swollen.

Li Ruolan got the maid to take out the good ointment, “This is Snow Skin Ointment, apply some on it every night, and it will be fully healed soon!”

“Elder sister, you have to report that Xiang Rongcheng in front of the emperor, or else my face will be slapped for nothing!” Li Ruoxue pleaded pitifully.

There was no need for her to remind me about this. Li Ruolan glanced at her for a moment, then stood up and said: “Alright, I even made an appointment to travel with the emperor in the afternoon. Take care of yourself!”

Looking at her sister walking out, Li Ruoxue’s face had a look of anger. Based on her intuition, she felt that she was being framed, but everything was so flawless, she could not find any gaps or loopholes. Other than Shi Anran, she already could not find anyone else who wanted to deal with her, and she was the only one who dared to do so.

As he thought about it, Li Ruoxue’s eyes gradually darkened. Gritting his teeth, he squeezed out a few words from the gaps between his teeth, “Shi Anran, it must be you who wanted to harm me …”
