"My beloved concubine, what happened to you? Are you jealous? " He deliberately mocked her expression.
"I'm not jealous. I just want to see how you can handle so many women." Leng Qiyue lightly replied.
"You're not jealous?" Dongfang Haotian's eyes turned cold. He continued, "Then, if I say that I want to recruit them to sleep with me, do you feel anything?" This was the last drop of medicine. If it didn't work, then she really wouldn't have any feelings for him.
"As long as you're happy. I don't feel anything. I don't care." When Leng Qiyue told the truth, it was better to miss than to see, it was better to not see. When Dongfang Haotian ordered her to kill him without mercy, she had sealed off all her love for him.
"You really don't care?"
"Why should I care?" she asked.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go down first. The child is about to wake up."
Without waiting for Dongfang Haotian to nod, Leng Qiyue left on her own accord.
Dongfang Haotian gritted his teeth and ruthlessly pushed away the woman stuck to his body. He angrily left the Music Temple.
As soon as Dongfang Haotian entered, he saw Dongfang Yu waiting there.
Dong Fangyu stepped forward and bowed. "Chenqie pays her respects to Your Majesty."
"Get up." Dongfang Haotian sat on the soft chair with a headache and said: "At that time, you told me that Leng Qiyue had given birth to a prince for me, and asked me to bring them into the palace. But now, I really wonder if that Leng Qiyue loves me."
Dongfang Yu smiled. "Your Imperial Majesty, chenqie came here to discuss this matter in detail."
"Oh? My beloved concubine, come and sit by my side and speak slowly. I really can't remember those days. " Dongfang Haotian held Dongfang Yu's hand and let her sit next to him.
Dongfang Yu replied, "At that time, His Majesty was still a marquis. When we were out searching for the Dragon Sword, she rescued you when you fell off the cliff." She knew you were the marquis, so she spent her days with the marquis. Bai Lan had tried to redeem the Marquis with silver, but she refused on the grounds that she had good medical skills. However, she still asked for a large amount of silver to pay for the clinic. This Emperor can ask Bai Lan if he gave two hundred thousand silver to Leng Fei. "
"That's not important. I can't remember what happened with her." Dongfang Haotian closed his eyes and rubbed his temples.
"Later on, the Emperor recovered his memories and returned with the Dragon Sword. She saw that the Emperor couldn't remember so she built a villa with Bai Lan and the other two. Later on, when she gave birth to a boy, if she hadn't discovered that the child looked exactly like the Emperor, she would have thought that it was Bai Lan's child. Since he was the son of the Emperor, of course he couldn't become a common citizen. It was a pity that he was raised by a woman like that. Perhaps in the future, he wouldn't be able to accomplish much. Sigh, it's also my fault that I failed and failed to protect Longzi. Otherwise, the little prince would have been born by now. " Dongfang Yu's face was filled with grief as he used a handkerchief to wipe the corners of his eyes.
Dongfang Haotian looked at Dongfang Yu and said, "There will be more in the future, don't worry, beloved concubine."
Dongfang Yu nodded and spoke like a spoiled child, "Chenqie really does like children. If the emperor is worried about Imperial Consort Leng, why not give the little prince to chenqie to raise. Chenqie will give her all to teach this child."
When Dongfang Haotian heard this, he shook his head and said, "I have already said that I will make her my imperial concubine, so we can discuss this matter later. If one day I find out that she has committed an unruly act, I will never forgive her. "
"The Emperor is wise." Dongfang Yu rested his head against Dongfang Haotian's chest, a cold light flashing through his eyes.
Dongfang Yu was busy serving the emperor, and the butterfly concubine wasn't idle either. She was currently carrying the jewelry that Rong Fei had given her and heading towards the Emerald Bamboo Palace.
Leng Qiyue was holding a child in her arms as she basked in the sun. Die Fei didn't even give her a notice as she directly walked in.
It was the first time that Die Fei saw Leng Qiyue. Her eyes were filled with amazement and were quickly replaced by jealousy. However, she still maintained her amiable smile and said, "Sister is sunbathing with the little prince. Did sister disturb you?"
Leng Qiyue saw that the newcomer was wearing a light blue dress and a white muslin dress, which showed off his beautiful figure. Her long hair fluttered in the wind. A few wisps of hair mischievously flew in front of her as she wore a pair of phoenix hairpins with five tails. There was a purple crystal chain around its neck. The chain was like a purple jade butterfly, which made its skin as white as snow. Its hands were gentle, and its skin was creamy. Someone who could wear a five tailed phoenix hairpin must be at the imperial concubine level, and since her necklace was a butterfly, then it must be the butterfly concubine.
Leng Qiyue was not so cold and detached because she did not want to cause trouble, so she politely smiled and said, "Why would the honor of the Empress coming here as chenqie disturb her?"
Die Fei saw that Leng Qiyue was very respectful towards her and smiled in satisfaction. She said, "Little Sister, there's no need to be polite. Just call me Big Sister. Today, big sister came to see little prince and sister. Originally, big sister Rong also wanted to come, but some important things couldn't get out of my body, so I brought the present over. Does little sister like it? " She waved her hand and the two palace maids behind her took a few steps forward and raised the wooden box in her hands.
She opened the box on the left. Inside were two hairpins, a white jade peony hairpin, and an emerald plum blossom hairpin inlaid with red coral. With just one look, one could tell that it was a top-grade item.
Leng Qiyue stretched out her hand to open another wooden box. Inside was a box full of pearls, each about the size of a broad bean.
Leng Qiyue picked one up and carefully looked at it, "Such a beautiful pearl from the East China Sea, how many medicinal ingredients can this box full of them make?"
When Die Fei saw Leng Qiyue pick up the pearl, she beamed with joy and said, "This is a gift from Big Sister. I'm afraid it won't be as valuable as Big Sister Rong's present."
Leng Qiyue caressed the pearl with her hand and smiled. "Sister, thank you for your love."
At this moment, Leng Qiyue suddenly felt a pain on her fingertip and hurriedly retracted her hand. There was actually a fiery-red scorpion inside the pearl box. When the palace maid saw this, she screamed in fear and fell to the ground. The box full of pearls was immediately spilled all over the ground. The big red scorpion was frightened, and it raised its tail and rushed towards the butterfly consort.
Die Fei was so frightened that her beautiful face paled and she forgot to dodge. The scorpion tail pierced through her embroidered shoes and stabbed into her toes.
If she was stung, she would be dead within a minute. She could not care that much, she could only use the wooden box to hold the scorpion and then take off Die Fei's shoes, and use her mouth to suck out the scorpion poison with her toes. Then he took out a pill and handed it to the consort. "Eat it, or you'll be dead."
Die Fei woke up from her shock and swallowed the pill without a care.
After a while, Die Fei felt the numbness in her body gradually disappear, but she still couldn't stand up. This time, her legs were weak from fright.
Leng Qiyue asked the palace maid that brought the wooden box, "Where did you get this box?"
The palace maid knelt down in panic and said, "In reply to esteemed Empress Dowager, the emperor bestowed this box of pearls to esteemed Butterfly last month. Empress Butterfly didn't move, but kept it in the storehouse until today."
"Did anyone else touch it when you took it?" Leng Qiyue continued to ask.
The palace maid looked at Die Fei with some hesitation.
Die Fei said dispiritedly, "When she showed it to me, the seal was still there. I personally took the seal off and opened it to take a look. Then, I never opened it again. However, this box of pearls has never left my sight since it was placed in front of me.
Leng Qiyue glanced at Die Fei. Her current expression was clear and strict. It seemed like she was not lying.
Suddenly, Die Fei's eyes turned cold and said, "Could it be her? "No wonder she was so kind to let me come."
Leng Qiyue's heart stirred. She understood that Die Fei was referring to Rong Fei, but how did Rong Fei know what Die Fei was going to give her and put the scorpion inside?
Leng Qiyue carefully put the scorpion back into the box and covered it up. She then ordered the palace maid to find a box and pick up the pearl from the ground.
She sat down on a chair with the support of a palace maid and looked at her swollen toes, gritting her teeth in hatred.
Leng Qiyue waved the palace maid away and sat by the side of the butterfly Concubine. "Weren't you the one who put the scorpion?"
Die Fei raised her head with one hand and swore: "If I, Flower Rain Butterfly, want to harm Leng Fei, I will die a graveless death."
Leng Qiyue nodded. "I believe you, but I'm afraid that it will be very difficult for elder sister to escape from this matter today."
Die Fei snorted coldly and said, "She has always regarded me as a thorn in her side, so she naturally has to think of all sorts of ways to get rid of me. Oh right, didn't his little sister get bitten? Are you all right? You can't let anything happen to me, or else I won't be able to explain myself. "
Leng Qiyue shook her head. "I'm fine. Don't worry, I have the antidote on me."
Die Fei said bitterly, "I must tell the emperor about this matter and let him decide."
Leng Qiyue sighed in her heart. At this moment, it was likely that the Emperor already knew that if it was Rong Fei, then she would definitely send someone to monitor him and report back to him after he was bitten. But should he believe the words of the butterfly concubine? If it was the Seamless Gate, then who should he help?
Before she could finish her thought, she heard a eunuch call out from outside, "His Majesty's driving to —"
