Leng Qiyue was startled, and asked: "How is that possible, I saw it with my own eyes!"
Han Liu smiled. "Empress misunderstood Your Majesty. Actually, the person I shared a room with that day wasn't Your Majesty."
"Ah?" "Oh Liu, whose hands have you destroyed your innocence?" Leng Qiyue didn't quite believe Han Liu's words.
Han Liu was exasperated. "Your Highness, my innocence has been ruined by your words."
"Huh?" Leng Qiyue also stopped crying, and looked at Han Liu in a daze.
"That day, you saw Xiao Die. Do you think that I would destroy my innocence?" Han Liu rolled her eyes and said.
"Eh? Where's Xiao Die? " It was only then that Leng Qiyue remembered that silly girl.
Han Liu said, "She went to look for Xue Ling and the rest. She's also very worried!"
Leng Qiyue's mood suddenly became much better, but when she remembered that Dongfang Haotian had threatened her with Eli, the guilt in her heart immediately dissipated, and she snorted coldly: "That bastard did not explain it clearly, and still wanted to threaten me with Eli later on, I will not apologize."
Han Liu frowned. These two were truly enemies, neither of them willing to lower their heads. She advised, "Empress, His Majesty felt that you were willing to share him with other women. He was unhappy, which proves that he cares about you! Your pleading will only lead the emperor to misunderstand. You don't care about him, but ask which man can bear to have his beloved woman not care about him? "
Leng Qiyue lowered her head. She understood this logic, but she hated threatening him the most. If she were to admit her wrongs, then wouldn't that mean that he really wanted to be the empress and use trash to threaten her later?
Xiao Shunzi ran in and said: "Empress, what should we do in the future?"
Leng Qiyue asked: "What do we do about what?"
Xiao Shunzi said: "Now that the mission is complete, should I feign death or leave the palace?"
Leng Qiyue thought for a moment, then said: "There's no need, Han Liu is still going to be the imperial concubine."
"Huh?" Han Liu's eyes widened. Was he going to continue acting?
Leng Qiyue said: "Right now, Liu Han is quite prestigious in the palace, I don't want her to leave, so I might as well continue to be the imperial concubine. With her there, I don't need to worry about the harem anymore."
Han Liu was exasperated. "Empress must be lazy."
Leng Qiyue laughed awkwardly: "It's good that you know this in your heart, why are you saying it out loud, I don't have any face at all!"
Han Liu giggled in response to her teasing. Suddenly, she thought of something else. "No, I'm a fake. Didn't I expose my secret during this month's pregnancy?"
Leng Qiyue rolled her eyes and said: "Wouldn't it be fine if I just found an excuse to say that I was a flat tire?"
Han Liu smiled helplessly.
Leng Qiyue came in front of the desk and wrote a letter to Xiao Shunzi, "Go, give it to the emperor."
Xiao Shunzi took the letter and ran out.
Dongfang Haotian was still sulking at the Reclining Dragon Palace, he was angry at Leng Qiyue for not seeming to care about him, and was willing to share him with other women.
When Xiao Shunzi delivered the letter, he was secretly happy, thinking that it was an apology letter. As a result, when he opened it, his face immediately darkened.
It turned out that the letter contained no apology for the fact that they were not allowed to remove the position.
Dongfang Haotian wanted to destroy Han Liu right away, but then he thought that as the king of an empire, he should not lower himself to the little girl's level.
He had already written the imperial edict. He would wait until tomorrow to see what the ministers wanted. If he could get half the support, then this matter was certain.
However, before that, he had to go see the Imperial Concubine Rong. Without the support of the Left Premier, things would be difficult to accomplish.
"Men, take charge of the courtyard. We want to personally take Imperial Concubine Rong back to the palace." Dongfang Haotian said.
"Understood." The eunuch who was waiting outside obeyed and left.
Xiao Shunzi was originally waiting outside the door, thinking that Dongfang Haotian would send a reply to his mistress. In the end, what he heard was that he was going to go out of the palace to personally receive Imperial Concubine Rong. Her heart sank, and quickly ran back to report to his Moonlight Palace.
After Leng Qiyue heard this, she almost crushed the teacup in her hands, and she angrily said: "Alright, you're so angry at me, right? Do you think you can force me to apologize in such a way? "I don't care, what empress, I don't care."
Han Liu rubbed her temples. Both of them had two babies, but they were still as awkward as children. He had to think of a way to reconcile them. Otherwise, if this went on, wouldn't the empress's successor be snatched away?
Xiao Shunzi said to Han Liu, "Since the emperor has not ordered you to remove your position, you should change your clothes and return to the Mascot Palace."
Han Liu nodded. "Serve the Empress well. I'll go back first."
Furthermore, when Dongfang Haotian came to the guest courtyard and saw that Imperial Concubine Rong's complexion had not completely recovered yet, he was meticulous and saw through his displeasure. He asked, "Did Your Majesty encounter any trouble?"
Dongfang Haotian nodded his head and said: "My beloved concubine, logically speaking, you are our original wife, and you have also helped us manage this imperial harem for a long time.
The Imperial Concubine Rong laughed lightly and interrupted Dongfang Haotian's words, "Your Majesty, we can already be considered old married couples. Your concubine's body is getting worse with each passing day, and I can't give birth to a dragon, so I naturally can't assume the position of empress. Leng Qiyue has already given birth to a pair of children for the emperor, so she is the most qualified to be the empress. "
Dongfang Haotian pulled Imperial Concubine Rong's hand and said: "Thank you, beloved concubine, for your righteousness. It's just that Leng Qiyue's background is too low, how could he accept everyone?"
Imperial Concubine Rong laughed: "That's simple. Isn't it enough for my father to recognize her as his goddaughter?"
Dongfang Haotian shook his head. "I think your father would not agree. He had always wanted you to become an empress, how could he possibly let other women climb on your head?"
"My father has been loyal to the imperial government his entire life, and now that he is old, he's actually afraid of losing power. As long as I can protect my concubine from being bullied, my father will definitely not oppose it."
Dongfang Haotian nodded and said to the Imperial Concubine Rong: "Prime Minister Zuo, please waste my breath. I believe that Leng Qiyue will not make things difficult for you."
Imperial Concubine Rong said, "This chenqie knows, it was chenqie who was insensible and caused a lot of trouble in the past. In the days they spent together, chenqie understood one thing. If it wasn't for the emperor's favorite thing, she would rather give freedom to the emperor if she could just barely keep him by her side. That way, she would instead receive the emperor's favor. If we are to persevere, we will only lose more and more, and even our lives. "
Although he loved Leng Qiyue, he also had feelings for the Imperial Concubine Rong. After all, without the Imperial Concubine Rong, he wouldn't have become the emperor. Without the Left Premier, his situation wouldn't have been stable.
He sincerely said, "Rong'er, thank you. I owe you so much."
When Imperial Concubine Rong saw the Emperor express his gratitude towards her and even use the word 'I' instead of 'I', she was momentarily moved to tears. It turns out that sometimes retreating can bring more benefits …
"An assassin …" Just as the ambiguous atmosphere between the two of them was rising, a loud shout from outside broke the harmony …
