Chapter 5 - Desolation at the Bottom of the Eyes

When Cold Night returned to the house, she had time to carefully inspect the furnishings inside.

This was a suite of the Warm Pavilion. On the outside, there was an inlaid mother-of-pearl purple sandalwood bed, behind it was a rosewood wardrobe carved with purple sandalwood.

Next to the window were the four treasures of the study. But from the looks of it, it seemed like it had not moved for a long time, the ink had dried up in the millstones.

Looking at the furnishings in his room, even the curtain that was separated from it was made of green double-embroidered flowers, grass, and insect, how could he be so bullied by others? It was truly bewildering.

The maid from before pushed the door open and walked in, holding some porridge and pickled vegetables in his hands.

maid's face turned ugly, he forced a smile and said: "Miss, there's only this little bit of porridge left in the kitchen, how about Miss drink a little?"

The furnishings in the room were for others to see. On the surface, this matriarch had never treated her body badly, but in private, she had always been afraid of her own safety.

Leng Mu Lu nodded and said: "The porridge is also good, I was just hungry."

Seeing that the young miss's expression was normal, maid hesitated for a moment before asking: "Young miss, the Third Miss didn't make things difficult for you right?"

"Don't worry!" Third Sister didn't make things difficult for me. " Only after Leng Muyun drank a small bowl of porridge did his spirit feel good.

How could maid believe the words of the young miss? The Third Miss specifically bullied his young miss, if it wasn't for the protection of her Second Miss, his young miss wouldn't even know what to do.

"Seeing that the Second Miss is here, I think the Third Miss shouldn't be too hard on you." maid's expression revealed a trace of gratitude, and continued to speak: "Second Miss is truly a buddha's heart, for Miss's good, and for us servants as well."

The corner of Leng Muqing's lips curled up into a smile.

maid tidied up the tableware as he fawned over Yue Yang. "Miss, I just heard from the kitchen that the emperor is going to select a beauty to enter the palace today."

Xi Hua felt that if her young miss became the Empress, the people in the courtyard wouldn't dare to bully her anymore.

"What?" The white jade comb slipped from her hand and fell to the ground.

She was dumbstruck, and her heart was filled with an unspeakable bitterness.

She hadn't even been dead for three months, and he was going to choose a show.

She thought that she had completely forgotten about him, but at this moment, her heart was still in pain.

Only, she only saw his hypocrite true face when she was about to die.

The current Emperor Emperor Ming was the late emperor's fourth son. Since young, his body had been weak and he had been afflicted with countless ailments. No matter if it was in terms of being the head judge or the head judge, he didn't have the qualifications to inherit the throne.

Moreover, his body was frail and sickly. He was not someone that the Emperor liked, and even his mother, Yun Fei, loved her other biological son, the Second Prince.

The Leng Family was a hundred years old Prominent Class, there were countless of heirs to officials in the imperial court. Prime Minister Leng Ling was one of the most important officials in the imperial court, he had served the two generations of emperors.

She had been chosen by the empress dowager herself to be the second prince's first wife. That day, the Second Prince was already the respected crown prince of the Great Yan State. Only with such an identity could he be worthy of her, the only daughter of the Leng Family. He was not the sickly fourth son of the Emperor, who had no status within the palace.

However, she was bewitched. The fourth son wouldn't marry, and it was he who had begged and begged in front of the empress dowager and the emperor, forcibly changing the situation.

Her brother, who had toppled cities and overturned nations, had obviously disliked Emperor Yan Wen's craftiness and insidiousness. However, he had still betrayed the loyal Second Prince for her and changed to the person she loved.

The sons and disciples of the Leng Family also began to support the four sons of the Sovereign King from now on.

She was wrong. He loves the wrong person and believes in the wrong person, which is why his family is ruined.

She closed her eyes, her gaze filled with desolation.

Emperor Ming was cold and did not like women. There were very few concubine s and in addition to the few concubine s he had lost in the palace, currently, there was only one imperial concubine, five concubine s, and one noble.

Now that she had passed away, her successor was in the air. Other than the family's illustrious status, the rest could not even hold the position of empress, so this competition would definitely be bustling with noise and excitement.

It was likely that the noble clans and noble dukes would all send their women into the palace to fight for the position of empress.

It was just that the head eunuch of the palace had revealed a bit of information, and the nobles of the capital had already been stirred up. They didn't know what kind of waves the official decree would bring.

However, her little sister had expended a great deal of effort to get rid of her, so how could she be willing to watch another girl press down on her head again?

Thinking about it, there would be a good show playing out in the harem soon. How could she miss it?
