On the same seat as the empress dowager and Dongfang Haotian in the palace, one of Lin Fei's followers was kneeling in front of them.
"Chenqie pays her respects to Your Majesty and Esteemed Empress Dowager."
The empress dowager slapped the table and shouted, "Leng Qiyue, do you know your crime?"
Leng Qiyue lowered her head and looked at him, lightly saying, "Chenqie doesn't know."
The empress dowager was so angry that her hands were trembling. She pointed at Leng Qiyue and said, "Not only are you unscrupulous and unscrupulous, you even harmed an heir of the empress. You really should be cut into a thousand pieces."
Dongfang Haotian said from the side: "Leng Qiyue, why did you push Lin Fei to harm his miscarriage?"
Leng Qiyue peeked at Dongfang Haotian. Seeing that he didn't seem angry on the outside, she felt a bit more at ease. "Chenqie didn't deliberately push down Lin Fei."
Her Majesty scoffed, "Ask them if they are lying. They saw you push down Lin Fei with their own eyes. "
Leng Qiyue coldly smiled and said, "It was she who fell backwards, not this concubine who pushed her."
"Hmph, Magpie, tell me, how did she push down your master?" Her Majesty simply called the witnesses out to speak.
Magpie cowered on his knees, his whole body almost touching the ground. She trembled as she spoke. "To reply esteemed empress dowager, this servant saw esteemed imperial concubine grab esteemed imperial concubine's arm. With a raise of her hand, esteemed imperial concubine fell to the ground."
The empress dowager continued, "Leng Qiyue, what else do you have to say?"
Leng Qiyue raised her head and said neither haughtily nor arrogantly, "In reply to Esteemed Empress Dowager, chenqie only reacted instinctively, as if she would close her eyes if they touched her. Chenqie had no intention to do so."
Dongfang Haotian said, "Since that's the case, you can go back."
"No, this won't do. Is the emperor going to protect this slut?" What instinctive reaction? She must be after the Emperor, otherwise why would she defy the imperial edict and run to the Cold Palace? " The empress dowager turned her gaze back to Leng Qiyue and said ruthlessly, "You disobeyed the imperial edict and caused the death of the emperor's heir. Even a thousand cuts wouldn't wash away your crimes. Someone, send her to prison and execute her tomorrow afternoon."
Your Majesty, you are the ruler of a nation," she said, when she saw Dongfang Haotian stand up to stop him. Her words implied something, but also a threat.
Dongfang Haotian was stunned as he heard this, and he disappointedly sat back down.
Leng Qiyue looked at him with a cold heart. This man was truly afraid of the empress dowager. They all said that a husband and wife were merciful for a hundred days, but to the emperor, those words were nothing …
Leng Qiyue was obediently being held by the arm by the eunuch. She didn't want to resist, so all of her fantasies turned into bubbles. She found that every time she entered the Sky Prison, her mood was different. The first time was when her heart was dead, the second time was when she was distracted, and the third time was when her heart was still as water.
No high bed pillow, no luxury food, just a field of straw and a prison uniform. She silently stood at the window of the prison, watching the storm and the storm outside. Thinking of her modern family, thinking of her arrogance when she first arrived, her heart was filled with bitterness.
At night, Leng Qiyue curled up in a pile of straw and fell asleep. She could vaguely feel someone covering her with a blanket, so she naturally shrank back. However, he heard a chuckle and opened his eyes …
Dongfang Haotian, who was in casual clothes, was actually sitting right next to her.
"Why are you here? See me for the last time? " Leng Qiyue sat up and wrapped the blanket around her.
Dongfang Haotian actually pulled away the blanket and got in. He took Leng Qiyue into his arms and whispered, "Big sister, Haotian also wants to be covered by a blanket."
When Leng Qiyue heard this, her whole body shook. She asked in astonishment, "You recovered your memories?"
Dongfang Haotian held her in his arms and said, "I have never lost my memories."
When Leng Qiyue heard this, she immediately exploded into rage. She raised her hand to slap him across the face, and the clear sound reverberated for a long time throughout the Sky Prison.
After being slapped, Dongfang Haotian smiled and said: "Have you vented your anger?"
Leng Qiyue gritted her teeth as she closed her eyes and ignored him. She could only hear him sigh and say, "That day, after I woke up, I was called out by Bai Lan. I then saw Dongfang Yu explain the situation. The late emperor was in critical condition, so the empress dowager wanted to make me emperor. For the greater good of the world, I had no choice but to pretend to lose my memories and leave with Dongfang Yu. "
Leng Qiyue snorted. "Then you don't have to intentionally anger me. You almost caused my death."
Dongfang Haotian laughed: "The situation is urgent. I had no choice but to do that or else I wouldn't be able to gain Dongfang Yu's trust. Her father is an important person who helped me win the throne."
"Then why did you heartlessly move the treasure away and even write a few words to anger me?"
"Actually, I wanted to tell you that I took away the treasure. Don't worry, I didn't think that it would harm you." Dongfang Haotian explained.
Leng Qiyue still did not give up. "Then why are you still participating in the martial arts competition and even married the Left Premier's daughter?"
Dongfang Haotian helplessly said: "In fact, that was arranged by the empress dowager. It was all to establish prestige and to serve as a warrior. The reason why I married Zuo Furong was to win the support of the Minister of the Left. Otherwise, I wouldn't have ascended the throne so smoothly. I didn't expect you to go to the martial arts competition. I didn't want to hurt you. "
"You … You almost gave me a miscarriage when you moved the treasure! " Leng Qiyue was filled with complaints.
Dongfang Haotian laughed: "That was an accident. Who asked you to have such a great temperament? Fortunately, the Nine Leaf Phoenix was unearthed at that time. Otherwise, I would have hated myself for the rest of my life."
Leng Qiyue pondered for a moment, then asked, "Why did you rob me into the palace?"
Dongfang Haotian said, "The reputation of the Hao Yue Villa is growing. It has attracted the attention of the Minister of the Left. He wants to use the name of a bandit to search for the villa. I know you worked hard and didn't want him to ruin it. At this time, Dongfang Yu was still brooding over the matter of the miscarriage and was suppressed by Zuo Furong, so he wanted to send someone to assassinate you and then bring Niu Jun back to take care of her. If I hadn't arrived earlier that day, you would have met a large group of assassins. "
Leng Qiyue said with dissatisfaction, "Then why did you say you would kill me without mercy?"
Dongfang Haotian chuckled: "Heh heh …" Think about it, which of the two is easy to mess with? If I said I would kill them without mercy, would those soldiers be able to kill them? Do you know how much I hurt for you while you were away? How many tears did you shed? "
"Eh? How could that be? " Leng Qiyue did not believe it.
Dongfang Haotian sighed: "You and Bai Lan were practicing martial arts in the Jade Face Luosha's secret room, how could I not know? How could I not know your yearning? How could I not know that you are being pursued by another man? Don't forget, we drank Luan Feng and Ming Ming. "
Leng Qiyue angrily retorted, "This is not fair. Why don't I know what you're thinking? On the contrary, you know what I'm thinking."
"Uh, this … After all, men are big, and I think that Luan Feng and Ming are mainly men. " Dongfang Haotian's explanation was a bit far-fetched.
Leng Qiyue suddenly glanced at Dongfang Haotian and coldly said, "So you're saying that you're deliberately making things difficult for me when I enter the palace?"
Dongfang Haotian didn't feel comfortable being looked at by her. He dryly smiled and said: "No, I didn't make things difficult for you, but I protected you at every turn."
Leng Qiyue said with hatred, "Then who do you think is the seed in my stomach?"
