When Leng Qiyue discovered that there was someone behind her, she suddenly turned around, only to see a group of soldiers holding long spears rushing over, quickly surrounding them.
Leng Qiyue smiled and asked, "What are you all doing?"
Before she could finish her words, the entire group of people kneeled down and started shouting, "We greet the princess!"
"Are you a princess?"
Smiling awkwardly, he asked with concern, "I'm the princess of Chang Le. Big sister won't just turn a blind eye to me because I'm a princess, right?"
Leng Qiyue placed a hand on her forehead and helplessly said, "Since you are a princess, then it doesn't matter whether we become sworn brothers or not. Is the Emperor your elder brother?"
"Sister, sister, the emperor is indeed my brother, but he's only a sworn brother! I can't go back on my word! You've already taken my keepsake!" Xiao Xiao said nervously.
Leng Qiyue smiled and consoled him, "To be honest, I'm also from the Imperial Palace. After you enter the palace, we'll meet again. Now, be good and don't run around. I'm leaving first." After saying that, she dashed out of the encirclement in a flash …
By the time these soldiers had reacted, Leng Qiyue was already nowhere to be seen, and was smiling faintly as she looked in the direction she had left, truly looking forward to the day they would meet again.
Leng Qiyue escaped from the courtyard and returned to Feng Luo. She didn't ask about Lin Fei and just reported that she was safe before rushing to the palace, hoping to make it back to the Imperial Palace by the end of the day.
When Leng Qiyue returned to the courtyard of the Moonflower Palace, she found Senior Servant Lan and Han Liu both there. They anxiously looked at the door.
"What happened to you?" Leng Qiyue asked as she walked over.
The two of them were startled by the sudden voice. They simultaneously turned their heads and saw that Leng Qiyue had heaved a sigh of relief.
Han Liu said, "Empress, you've returned. The palace maid who brought the food at noon said that something happened to Yi Xin Palace's Imperial Concubine Xi."
Surprised, Leng Qiyue asked, "What happened to her?"
Han Liu hesitated before replying, "I heard she offended the empress dowager and was caned. A delicate girl was beaten to sixty Osaka, and she was dragged bloody to the cold palace."
Leng Qiyue's heart grew cold. "I'm going to the cold palace," she said.
Senior Servant Lan said, "Empress, please wait. I've prepared some medicine. Please take it with you."
Han Liu said with dissatisfaction, "Momo, didn't you come with me to advise esteemed wangfei not to act rashly?"
Senior Servant Lan frowned. "Girl, there are a lot of things you don't understand and don't ask. It's safer to not know."
Han Liu obediently shut her mouth, but in her heart she felt very uncomfortable. She always felt that if Lan mama and the Empress shared secrets, she'd be like an outsider.
Leng Qiyue patted Han Liu's shoulder and said, "mama is right. It's better that you don't know now. I didn't tell mama anything. She saw everything herself, so the so-called ginger is spicier, that's all." Don't be sad, I'll tell you when the time is right. "
Leng Qiyue felt that Senior Servant Lan was like a worm in her stomach. She knew what she was thinking, but it saved her a lot of trouble. She took the medicine and quietly flipped over the wall. All of the guards ate their meals. As a big person, she had climbed over the wall a few times but hadn't seen them. However, she did not know that these guards had long since seen her. They only pretended to ignore her. After all, the authorities had said that as long as no one came out of the house, they were not to be bothered. Therefore, they were happy to be free. However, they didn't expect that the Empress seemed to be addicted to climbing walls. They even made a private bet that Leng Qiyue would climb walls three times today …
Of course, Leng Qiyue was not aware of this. She hurriedly rushed to the cold palace. She first came to the Flying Sound Palace, but did not find anyone. Thus, she turned around and went back to the house she stayed in the first time. However, there wasn't anyone there either. Just as she was feeling anxious, she saw Lin Fei bringing a few palace maids and eunuchs into the main entrance of the cold palace …
Leng Qiyue thought, "Why is Lin Fei here?" "Right now, there's only one concubine in the Cold Palace, so she must be here to cause trouble. Fine, follow her and you'll definitely find out where she is."
Lin Fei was led by a eunuch into the depths of the cold palace. The house there was dilapidated, on the verge of collapse.
They arrived in front of a half-collapsed house. Lin Fei frowned and asked, "Why did you send them here?"
The eunuch leading the procession said, "In reply to esteemed Empress Dowager, Esteemed Empress Dowager ordered that Imperial Concubine would be favored and favored, and that she should give her a taste of the suffering."
"Oh, I know. Where is she?" Lin Fei said while covering her nose with the silk handkerchief.
The eunuch immediately replied, "In reply, esteemed wangfei is inside."
"Go, drag him out for me." "Humph!"
"Yes." The young eunuch received the order and called another eunuch into the room. After a long while, he dragged out the blood-covered XIfei.
Lin Fei said in dissatisfaction, "What took you so long?"
The young eunuch replied, "To reply esteemed wangfei, just now when esteemed wangfei was unconscious, this servant gave her the empress dowager's pill. Now that esteemed wangfei is awake."
"Mm, you can leave." Lin Fei smiled sinisterly as she took a few steps forward and kicked Xifei's leg.
When she opened her eyes, they were filled with confusion.
Leng Qiyue's heart ached as she watched from the dark corner. She was still a child, but she had been beaten to such a state.
Seeing that she had opened her eyes, Lin Fei shouted, "You little slut, do you admit your wrongs?"
"I don't know what was wrong with you," she said weakly, shaking her head.
Lin Fei fiercely kicked Xifei when she heard this. "Slut, you clearly know that I and the empress dowager discussed important matters with the emperor in the imperial flower garden, but you went to plead for Leng Qiyue with your eyes shut. Do you know what she's guilty of? She is having an affair with someone, and she is having an affair. "
To everyone's surprise, the corner of Imperial Concubine Shi's mouth widened into a smile. "Impossible. Big Sister Leng isn't that kind of person. You must have wrongly accused her."
When Leng Qiyue heard this, her nose turned sour, and tears began to well in her eyes. She didn't expect that he would plead on her behalf. Furthermore, she didn't expect that he was the one who trusted her the most. She didn't dare to act rashly. If she were to appear rashly, it would bring even more trouble to Xifei, and she might even be accused of forming an alliance for personal gain. But her heart was in pain and she hated it too. Her jade-like hands tightly gripped the fake mountain next to her as if it was Lin Fei's neck.
Lin Fei laughed coldly, "It's one thing for you to plead on that slut's behalf, but you shouldn't have gone against the empress dowager. You went up and pulled at her, causing her most beloved ring finger to break into pieces."
"Hmmph! I didn't contradict the empress dowager at all. It was you who tried to force your way through. I did not try to pull Her Majesty. You pushed me hard behind her. You pretended to help me pull the queen's thumb ring out of her hand.
Lin Fei giggled. Aren't you stupid? Do you usually act crazy and play dumb? "No wonder Esteemed Empress Dowager said that you were quite scheming and coaxed the emperor into circling around."
She looked at her unwillingly and asked, "Why did you harm me?"
Lin Fei withdrew her smile and said coldly, "You shouldn't have fooled the emperor, letting him spend the night at your Yi Xin Palace every day. You should not plead for that slut Leng Qiyue, and even more so, you should not have come in and disturbed me when I was getting along with the Emperor. "
"I've never thought of trying to please you. It's just that you're being too considerate. I believe that Sister Leng is innocent, so I went to plead with her. As for your statement that the Emperor spends the night at my palace, it is completely false. The Emperor only said that to the eunuchs, he did not come to Yixin Palace. Otherwise, I wouldn't have broken into the Imperial Garden to plead for mercy. "
Lin Fei was stunned for a moment. She saw that Xifei did not seem to be lying, but at this point, she would never admit her mistake. She coldly said, "This is just a lot of excuses. Lin Fei smiled sinisterly after speaking. She took out a dagger from her sleeve and slowly walked towards her.
