Rong Fei knew that she had leaked the information, so she quickly kneeled on the ground and said, "Chenqie knows her wrongs. Chenqie doesn't dare to do it again."
Dongfang Haotian coldly snorted and said: "It seems like you're too comfortable being a concubine. You might as well be a palace maid. If you have something to do, then you won't think about harming others every day."
"Esteemed empress dowager, chenqie truly knows her wrongs. I beg the empress dowager to be merciful …"
Leng Qiyue frowned slightly. Why was Rong Fei's request to the empress dowager and not Dongfang Haotian? Could it be that the empress dowager's authority was greater than the emperor's? She raised her head and glanced at Dongfang Haotian. Sure enough, his face was very ugly.
The empress dowager looked at consort Rong and sighed. "Your majesty, please spare her once on account of the fact that consort Rong is your wife. Let her go to the buddhist hall and copy the Heart Cleansing Curse a hundred times, will you?"
Dongfang Haotian said faintly: "The empress will arrange for me to return to the Wolong Palace."
After Dongfang Haotian left, the empress dowager asked, "Why isn't Imperial Concubine Rong copying the scriptures at the Buddhist hall yet?"
Rong Fei hurriedly kowtowed, "Yes, yes, chenqie will go now." With that, she got up and hurried to the buddhist hall.
Just as Leng Qiyue was about to leave, the empress dowager said, "You stay. This Dowager has something to ask you. Take a seat."
Leng Qiyue sat down helplessly and waited for him to ask.
The empress dowager took a sip of tea and slowly asked, "What's the matter with Imperial Concubine Rong's prescription?"
When Leng Qiyue heard this, she knew that the empress dowager must have suspected her. She had always been acting dumb and obedient in front of her, pretending to be completely unscheming. She must have suspected her.
Leng Qiyue lightly smiled and replied, "Reporting to the empress dowager, before chenqie entered the palace, she was once the personal disciple of Elder Du Xian. That's why she knows a bit about medicine and poison. Big sister Rong Fei heard from somewhere that she came to find chenqie and got chenqie to prescribe a cure for her. "
"Oh?" The empress dowager stared at Leng Qiyue and asked again, "Then was Concubine Rong really poisoned? She said that she removed a few medicinal herbs from your prescription, so why did she cure you of her poison? "
Leng Qiyue feigned anger. "Esteemed empress dowager, it's true that chenqie wrote prescriptions for big sister Consort Rong. It's just that chenqie has a habit of writing down toxic ingredients and then writing down non-toxic supplementary ingredients. "chenqie was afraid that big sister Concubine Rong's body wouldn't be able to withstand the poison, so she added some non-toxic tonics at the back. I didn't expect her to tear it away."
Her Majesty looked at the prescription on the table. Indeed, the size of the white paper was not right. A piece of it had been torn off at the side. She laughed coldly, "Looks like Rong Fei has become a vile character. That's good too, let her learn a lesson, if not, how will she manage the harem in the future? Could it be that he caused trouble every day just to get jealous? Alright, go back to the Cold Palace and rest first. This Dowager has her own plans for your matters. "
When Leng Qiyue heard this, she stood up, saluted, and silently withdrew. Her heart beat like a drum, and she wondered what the Empress thought. Before she reached the cold palace, she saw Han Liu looking at her from the doorway.
Seeing that Leng Qiyue had returned unharmed, Han Liu breathed a sigh of relief. She stepped forward and said, "Empress, you scared this servant to death."
Leng Qiyue smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? Am I not a fool? The harem has no true feelings. "
Han Liu closed the doors to the palace and asked, "Empress, how did you escape?"
Leng Qiyue lazily laid on the imperial concubine's chair and said, "Actually, I had kept my trump card when we first started, and was also testing Rong Fei. At that time, I intentionally wrote down the poison ingredients together with some supplements. I didn't expect that she would really plot against the prescription. She tore apart the few medicinal herbs needed to make up for the poison and ate the rest, but she did not know that this happened to cure her poison. However, although the poison has been dispelled, without any tonic, I'm afraid that she will have diarrhea for a few days. "
Han Liu laughed. "It seems that the Empress has learnt to be quick-witted. She knows to guard against people!"
Leng Qiyue jokingly scolded, "Damn girl, are you saying that I've become very stupid before?"
Han Liu smiled but didn't say anything, admitting it.
After resting for a while, Leng Qiyue suddenly thought of something and asked, "Han Liu, when is the new year?"
Han Liu was stunned. "New Year?" What's a new year? "
Having been defeated by her, Leng Qiyue helplessly replied, "It's the biggest holiday of the year."
Han Liu was suddenly enlightened. "The Empress is talking about intercourse. There's still a month left. Can't you see that the eunuchs and maids are very busy?"
Leng Qiyue smiled. "I don't see any palace maids or eunuchs busying themselves. I only feel that I've been really busy recently."
Han Liu giggled and thought, "The Empress is busy enough. We can go to the Coldpalace and the Celestial Prison."
"Empress, His Majesty will also issue a decree of pardon. This servant thinks that at that time the Empress will definitely be able to leave the cold palace."
Leng Qiyue sighed and said, "I don't dare to hope. I thought I could get out a few times, but what about the results? and you're still staying in the Cold Palace. "
Han Liu thought for a moment and said, "Not all of them were useless. At least they moved from the broken house to the Flying Sound Palace."
Leng Qi Yue rolled her eyes at her, lying on the bed, pretending to be asleep.
In the following days, the cold palace returned to its former tranquility. No one came to harass them, so their days were extremely boring. It was not until three days before the meeting that the first visitor came to the cold palace.
This person was none other than Heavenly Flute Nation's Mu Wang, who he had met once before with Leng Qiyue.
Leng Qiyue was stunned when she saw Prince Mu. Why had this handsome man come to the cold palace? Could it be that he wanted to marry her?
Prince Mu faintly smiled as he sat opposite Leng Qiyue. "The Empress's circumstances don't seem very good. Third Sister also said that she has no way of helping you."
Leng Qiyue politely said, "Many thanks for your concern, Your Highness. May I ask what business you have with me?"
Prince Mu took a sip of the tea that was served to him by Han Liu. He frowned slightly and put down the teacup, saying, "It seems that Empress is really not doing well. Even the tea leaves are of inferior quality."
Leng Qiyue did not want to discuss the quality of the tea with him, so she further asked, "Prince Mu, I presume that your visit to the imperial court this time wouldn't be as simple as just visiting your little sister?"
When Duke Mu heard this, he stared at Leng Qiyue for a long time before suddenly smiling lightly, "I didn't expect you to be so smart. It's such a pity to be locked up in the cold palace. "If this king is willing to take you out of the imperial city, would the imperial concubine be willing to follow this prince back to Heavenly Flute Nation as an imperial concubine?"
"Clank …" Han Liu dropped the teapot in his hands...
Leng Qiyue glanced at Han Liu and knew that she was reminding herself. However, the temptation to leave the palace was truly great. For a moment, she didn't know how to respond.
When Prince Mu saw Leng Qiyue's hesitation, he added, "The youngest prince will also bring away this king. He is this king's legitimate son, the future prince."
"Crack …" This time, it was the cup in Leng Qiyue's hand that shattered.
Duke Mu didn't seem to find it strange but continued to smile faintly.
Leng Qiyue stood up, a smile on her face as she slowly walked in front of Prince Mu. Han Liu couldn't help but clench her hands. She didn't know what Leng Qiyue was going to do, but would she really agree to Prince Mu's request?
Duke Mu's expression was still very calm and his sexy lips were pursed into a smile. His forehead was slightly raised and his deep eyes were staring straight at Leng Qiyue.
Leng Qiyue arrived in front of him and placed one hand on his shoulder, the other on his cheek. Just as her fingertips were about to touch his face, she grabbed the jade pendant before Prince Mu's forehead and turned to return to the chaise longue. She sat down and said, "May I ask your highness if this jade pendant is a product of your Heavenly Flute Nation?"
Prince Mu's eyes flashed with disappointment as he inquired, "Why? The imperial concubine was interested in this jade pendant? This jade pendant is an ornament of our royal family, and only the direct bloodline of our royal family can wear it. "
Just as he was hesitating, Prince Mu said, "Since the Imperial Concubine likes it, then I'll give it to you. However, if you accept it, then it would mean that you've agreed to this duke's request, because this jade pendant is a token of love for the men of our imperial family."
Leng Qiyue did not take Prince Mu's words seriously and blankly raised her head to look at him. At this moment, the jade pendant in her hand was pulled away by someone as Han Liu screamed, "Ah … "Your Majesty …"
