Chapter 83 - Resentment
Consort Mo was stunned. A faint smile leaked out from the corner of Qin Luofei's mouth, as expected, it was a good plan.
However, it was a good thing for Ling Tai. The Consort Mo's family members could not be underestimated, and the palace's position was naturally higher than the concubine Ning's. If Ling Tai followed her, he would naturally have more reliance on her, and that would depend on whether the Consort Mo truly doted on him or not.
"No, I want the matriarch." Ling Tai was just a child, how could he understand the sinister nature of these palaces.
Seventh Prince brought Ling Tai to Empress Dowager's side, who had people look after him.
The emperor was furious, the results were out. The imperial physician was also cut down two by the Emperor Ming, and the rest of the concubine s could return to the palace by themselves.
No one wanted to stay here either. After hearing the emperor's decree, the concubines all brought their palace maids back to their own palaces.
Qin Luofei felt a little depressed along the way, as if she hadn't noticed anything.
"Miss, you said that the children of the Emperor Imperial Concubine are gone just like that?" Daffodil Daydream was chattering nonstop beside him.
Qin Luofei pursed her lips without saying anything, and after a long while she said in a low voice, "The palace is very complicated, you are not allowed to talk about this in the future. Zi Yuan, go and tell everyone in our palace to not speak carelessly, and send off Internal Torture Division for violation. "
Zi Yuan nodded.
In the evening, news came that the concubine Ning had confessed in Internal Torture Division, saying that the Queen had instructed her to poison the child in Imperial Consort Leng's womb.
Qin Luofei's expression froze. She knew that the concubine Ning would most likely not live past today, and would die on both sides.
"Is Concubine Qin here?" An unfamiliar eunuch's voice came from outside the house. Daihua lifted the curtain and went out, to see that it was the Internal Torture Division's young eunuch, Hock Seng.
"Hock Seng, do you need anything from our Concubine Qin?"
Hock Seng and Tsukiko have seen each other several times in the royal kitchen and are familiar with each other.
Hock Seng said, "concubine Ning begs for your majesty to meet Concubine Qin before you die. Your majesty has already agreed, Eunuch Qin has specially sent me to bring Concubine Qin to Internal Torture Division."
"What does she want to see our Miss for? You think you can pull our young miss down before you die? " Daihua blurted out, causing Hock Seng to look a little embarrassed.
"Daffodil Dayflower, don't be impudent." Qin Luofei lifted the curtain and walked out with Zi Yuan.
"Greetings Concubine Qin." Hock Seng pays his respects to Qin Luofei.
Qin Luofei waved her hand in an amiable manner, saying, "No need for formalities. Thank you, sir, for coming. I will go with you immediately. Daihua, give your father-in-law a tip. "
Falling Flower unwillingly took out a piece of crushed silver from his pocket, about two liang, and handed it to Hock Seng.
"Then I won't be polite." Hock Seng puts the silver into his pocket and becomes more attentive.
"Eunuch, please allow me to change my clothes. I'll go with you." Qin Luofei entered the inner room and simply changed into a set of solemn and quiet clothes.
Sunflower combing her makeup said, "Miss, do you want to prepare some food for concubine Ning?"
Qin Luofei was stunned. Raising her eyes, she coldly said: "Then what if concubine Ning eats our food and dies?"
"Die …" Daffodil Daydream looked up at her young mistress blankly. Suddenly, she understood and hurriedly said, "Could it be that someone wanted you to go on purpose?"
"You mean that?" The corner of Qin Luo Fei's mouth curled up slightly. Speaking of which, she also wanted to see concubine Ning before his death, so she had a lot of things to say to him.
Qin Luofei walked out of the house, bringing Daihua with her, and followed Hock Seng to Internal Torture Division.
When they arrived at the courtyard of the Internal Torture Division, Qin Luofei ordered Caihua to wait outside for him, and then she followed Lucky into the courtyard of the Internal Torture Division.
She was destined to meet this Internal Torture Division, to meet him in both lives.
Eunuch Qin was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea leisurely. Beside his, there were a few eunuchs attending to his, looking even more magnificent than his, the concubine.
Eunuch Qin was startled when he saw Qin Luofei, and said in a strange tone, "Concubine Qin, this humble house is really fated to be everywhere with you!"
"I feel like I have no fate with my father-in-law. If I were to be fated with him, wouldn't it be unlucky for Luo Fei?" Qin Luofei said mischievously.
"Hahaha... Hahaha, that's right, it's better not to have fate. Concubine Qin, go in! concubine Ning is clamoring to see you. " Eunuch Qin crossed her legs and smacked her lips, as if everything else had nothing to do with him.
"Wait, I think Eunuch should first send someone to properly search my body, otherwise, if there is any accident, Luo Fei won't be able to bear the consequences." Qin Luofei opened her arms, smiling like a flower.
Eunuch Qin was startled, a look of awkwardness appeared on his face as he placed the teapot on the table. , you don't have to be like this!
Qin Luofei withdrew her sleeves, smiled slightly, and said: "concubine Ning is a criminal who wants to poison and harm our emperor, and he also likes to bite people. Luo Fei cannot not be on guard against this. It's fine to meet a sister, but if it's because of her bad luck, then Luo Fei won't be able to make up for it. If her father-in-law doesn't search, then Luo Fei won't dare to go in and see her. "
Seeing that, the Eunuch Qin could only send people to search carefully. After the first person had searched, Qin Luofei called another maid to search it once, and only after searching it himself did he relax.
The Eunuch Qin watched coldly from the side and felt that the Concubine Qin was indeed cautious. Not everyone could leave the Internal Torture Division, and she was considered number one, even the beauty who never showed his face begged for mercy on her behalf. He was also very close with Empress Du Qingcheng, and was truly intelligent.
"Concubine Qin, please!" Qin Luofei took two steps, turned her head and whispered into the Eunuch Qin's ears: "The eunuch is also surnamed Qin, and Luo Fei is also surnamed Qin. I guarantee you, you and I will be together for a few generations, Eunuch Qin, what do you say?"
Eunuch Qin stared at Qin Luofei's elegant back in a daze, slowly chewing on his words, "A whole family."
All the concubine in the palace were born into a large family, when had they set their eyes on servants like him? In their eyes, servants like him were the most lowly of the lot, all servants were servants for life. Eunuch Qin knocked on the chair beside him as he hummed a little tune, continuing to drink tea on the chair.
"Xiao Qingzi, you follow the Concubine Qin. Don't let the concubine Ning hurt your benefactor."
Xiao Qingzi recognized his foster son the most, it was someone who was close to his heart, and was someone who understood his heart the most.
"Yes, godfather." Xiao Qingzi followed Qin Luofei into the dungeon.
His clothes were tattered, and his entire body was covered in blood. Both of his hands were badly mutilated, and it could be said that he had activated the criminal law, causing all ten fingernails to be lifted.
"concubine, be careful of the stairs." Xiao Qingzi reminded from the side.
Qin Luofei nodded slightly, as she carefully approached the room that held the concubine Ning s.
When concubine Ning heard the sound of walking, he half crawled up from the ground and raised his head. One of his eyes was already gone, and even a piece of his cheek had fallen.
"All of you are quite vicious." Even a person who had lived two lifetimes like Qin Luofei was trembling in fear. This Internal Torture Division was truly a cruel and merciless place.
Even if concubine Ning was let out without anything to do, it would be useless. With his current state, how could he survive in the palace?
"Not everyone has the good luck as a Concubine Qin, even godfather said so." Xiao Qingzi whispered at the side.
Qin Luofei touched her sleeve and said with a chuckle, "You little rascal, if you won't learn anything else, learn from your master's strange yin and yang energy, then I'll be the first one!" Qin Luo Fei stuffed the silver notes in her hands into Xiao Qingzi's hands, and shot a look at the guard.
Xiao Qingzi was really smart, he immediately understood what Qin Luofei meant. He called the eunuch who was guarding over and said: "Young noble son, you go out first, I will accompany concubine."
The young nobleman answered and left the cell with another young eunuch.
"It's you?" concubine Ning crawled until he reached the entrance of the cell, looking at Qin Luofei with hatred.
Qin Luofei took a step forward. Xiao Qingzi wanted to stop them, but Qin Luofei waved her hand at Xiao Qingzi, causing him to retreat to the side, not stopping the two of them from speaking.
"I heard that elder sister wanted to see me, so I came to see elder sister."
"You slut. I've treated you so well in vain. Why did you try to rob the emperor of his favor? If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have ended up like this." The sternness in concubine Ning's eyes made his wish that he could immediately kill Qin Luofei.
She really didn't pity this concubine Ning. At this time and place, her mind was still filled with thoughts of that man who showed mercy to her, just like in her previous life.
"Elder sister, the person that really harmed you was not me, but elder sister herself."
"Myself? Why should I harm myself? " concubine Ning bellowed, the expression on his face became even more sinister and terrifying, his empty eyes had already turned into a hole, there was no longer the color of his former beauty.
"Elder sister should not have too many extravagant hopes. Since elder sister has the First Prince, she should be calm and not fight over those illusory things. The Emperor only has the First Prince as his son, and the person with the most glory in the harem should be elder sister.
How many people were jealous of their sister behind their backs? They were also jealous of the fact that her sister had the First Prince. His sister did not sleep that day either, instead, she was called over by the Imperial Consort Leng.
I thought my sister was intelligent, but I didn't expect her to be so stupid. "
"You didn't sleep?" concubine Ning looked at Qin Luofei with a questioning look, not daring to believe his.
Qin Luofei stretched out her hand to grip concubine Ning's finger, and said in a low voice: "I promised big sister that I would use my life to protect the First Prince, and even more so, I promised big sister.
"Seal …" concubine Ning raised his head to look at Qin Luofei and saw her resolute expression and distant gaze. It was as if today, she had finally understood the woman in front of his.
"How can I trust you?"
Qin Luofei lowered her head and whispered a few words into concubine Ning's ears. concubine Ning raised his head in astonishment, his eyes filled with astonishment.
"Elder sister, you can trust that I will treat the First Prince well! I also thank elder sister for raising the First Prince all these years. I will repay such a favor with my younger sister, but I will promise elder sister that if there comes a day in the future, I will definitely bring honor and glory to elder sister. "
When she thought back to how she had always doted on the First Prince and thought back to what Qin Luofei had said, only then did she feel that her words were golden jade. She had been protecting a precious jade, but she had to go out of her way to retrieve an illusory object, which was why she ended up like this.
