Bai Lan knew the pain in Leng Qiyue's heart. She sat on the bedside and said, "Yue'er, the emperor has his own difficulties too. I wanted to distance myself from you and gain the trust of the empress dowager. But how can I trust you now? I will have Mu Zixin accompany you to the palace in a few days. Her personality is very lively, so it's a good idea for me to accompany you. "

Leng Qiyue's eyes didn't move. She was still staring at the ceiling, but she was finally willing to speak. "Bai Lan, do you think Dongfang Haotian loves me?"

Bai Lan nodded and said, "The Emperor loves you. He has already told me everything. I can be sure that he loves you very much."

Leng Qiyue suddenly sat up and coldly said, "Love me? If you love me, then let him kill Lin Fei and avenge Xi`er. "

Bai Lan shook her head. "You also know that Lin Fei is the empress dowager's daughter. If we kill her, the empress dowager will definitely tear off her dignity as well. At that time, not only will the emperor be unable to protect his throne, even his life will be in danger."

"He is the emperor. Even if he had fallen out with the empress dowager and still a minister, it's impossible for the imperial court to be completely in the empress dowager's hands. As long as he tries to fight for it, he will definitely regain power." He didn't want to do that. Wasn't it because of the beauty? He can't bear to part with Lin Fei's beauty. "

Bai Lan was anxious. Leng Qiyue's words were too extreme, and she herself did not know how to persuade her. She could only let out a long sigh.

Leng Qiyue got out of bed and called out to Han Liu, "Bring me the most beautiful clothes and the most luxurious jewelry."

Although Han Liu didn't know what Leng Qiyue was planning, she didn't ask about it. She took out her clothes and accessories and together with Xiao Die, helped her dress up. A moment later, an extremely beautiful woman walked out of the Moon Flower Hall.

Leng Qiyue didn't go to the Wolong Palace, but instead went straight to the Palace of Virtue. Her goal was the empress dowager. Since they couldn't take revenge, they wouldn't let them off the hook either.

When the empress dowager heard the eunuch report that Imperial Concubine Leng had arrived, she was first startled. Her eyes darted around before she said, "Invite her in."

When the light at the door dimmed, the Empress looked up and saw Leng Qiyue dressed in a long purple dress embroidered with rich colors. The embroidered collar of the dress was covered with layers of bright silk. A seven-tailed flying phoenix golden hairpin flew out from the black bun. Under the sunlight, it shined brightly and reflected the pearls between the eyebrows, making it appear even more graceful.

The empress dowager had never seen Leng Qiyue in such extravagant attire. She herself was a beauty that could topple empires, but at this moment, a ball of jealousy was raging within her. This was the jealousy between women.

When Leng Qiyue saw the jealousy in the empress dowager's eyes, she smiled complacently and took a graceful step forward to pay her respects. "Chenqie pays her respects to esteemed empress dowager, and wishes esteemed empress dowager all blessings."

The empress dowager gritted her teeth before pursing her lips. The last hint of a smile slowly crept up her face as she spoke slowly, "Imperial Concubine Leng is too considerate. Why have you come to pay respects to This Dowager? Sit down. "

"Empress Dowager Xie." He sat down and was served tea by a palace maid. She took a symbolic sip of tea before saying, "Esteemed empress dowager, chenqie has a presumptuous request. Would esteemed empress dowager agree?"

"Oh? Tell me, what I can do is to grant you your wish. " Her Majesty continued to smile, making it difficult to read her thoughts.

Leng Qiyue pretended to smile shyly. "Esteemed empress dowager, chenqie is already in sixth place. But none of the servants serving in the palace know how to take care of chenqie, so chenqie wishes to ask the empress dowager to give chenqie this celebration."

The empress dowager was startled. "Why celebrate?" Although that little girl is very efficient, she has never served a pregnant woman before, has she? "

"Senior Sister Lan in Chenqie's palace has to take care of Cheng'er," Leng Qiyue said with a smile. "Liuliu and Xiaodie are both girls who have never given birth to children, and they don't understand chenqie's thoughts. They always make chenqie angry. You know, pregnant women are most afraid to be angry, the empress dowager will reward the celebration to chenqie. This chenqie also heard that she once took care of her pregnant sister-in-law until the birth, so she was at ease with her. "

The empress dowager thought for a moment, then said, "Alright, you can take it. Someone come, let Qingxi come."

Very quickly, they reached the palace and knelt down. "Your servant greets Esteemed Empress Dowager and Imperial Concubine."

The empress dowager said, "Qingxi, it's your fortune that the imperial concubine has taken a fancy to you. When you get to the Moon Palace, you have to be careful. If anything goes wrong, This Dowager will definitely chop your head off."

Qing Xi was startled when she heard this. She peeked at Leng Qiyue out of the corner of her eyes. Although she was smiling, she was very cold. It was as if she was being stared at by a poisonous snake.

"Your servant can't bear to part with Esteemed Empress Dowager." The celebration was one hundred and twenty times over. He could only beg Her Majesty to keep her, for the sake of his many years of service.

However, the empress dowager simply asked, "Celebration, you've been with This Dowager for eight years, right?"

Qing Xi was overjoyed. He thought that the empress dowager and Leng Qiyue were playing the game of marriage and wanted him to stay. Thus, he said happily, "Reporting to the empress dowager, this servant has followed you since I was twelve years old. It's exactly eight years old now."

The empress dowager gave a soft grunt of assent before speaking with slight sadness, "It's been eight years since you left home. I heard that your father has returned from his hometown and is now on his way back to his hometown." "Serve your imperial concubine well, and when your imperial concubine gave birth to your son, your family would release you from the palace to marry and give you a generous dowry."

It could be said that it was their dream to see a palace maid leave the palace. If they could get a reward from their master, then not only would they be able to marry a good family, even the magistrate would have to give them some face. Qing Xi just couldn't be happy. The empress dowager had something to say. If she didn't obediently go back with Leng Qiyue today, and if she did something that betrayed the empress dowager, then her father might not be able to return home.

Qing Xi knew how strong she was, so he kowtowed and said, "Many thanks esteemed empress dowager, this servant will definitely do his best to take good care of esteemed imperial concubine."

"Mm. Alright, you may leave." Her Majesty began to order the guests to leave.

Leng Qiyue smiled coldly in her heart, her face filled with smiles. "Many thanks to the empress dowager for your love, chenqie will be returning first."

She deliberately twisted her slender body to walk, vividly showing off her elegance. The young eunuchs were all stupefied when they saw this.

When the empress dowager saw her leave, she slammed the table and said angrily, "Well done, Imperial Consort. You clearly want to make enemies with This Dowager, don't you? "Well, as you wish, if I don't chop off the head of your little hoof, I swear I won't be a human."

When Leng Qiyue returned to the Moon Flower Palace, she gave Han Liu her celebration. Han Liu sent her away to wash clothes, then asked, "Why did the Empress bring her back?" "Qing Xi has followed the empress dowager for a long time. Her loyalty to the empress dowager is as great as a boulder. You can't be thinking of roping her in, right?"
