Chapter 116 - Trampling out to be beaten to death

His eyes were cold and calm. He had been waiting for this day for far too long, so long that he had already lost all feeling. However, he had finally found an opportunity.

However, what he did not expect was that the Prince Xi had actually disappeared in the border trial, and even after sending out many people, he did not manage to find any trace of the Prince Xi.

Although that Prince Xi did not know of his own identity, there was no wall in this world that could hide his identity from the wind.

A trace of killing intent surfaced in Seventh Prince's eyes, and he unconsciously clenched his hands tightly.

After Qin Luofei and the Consort Mo separated, they brought Zi Yuan through the imperial garden.

"Miss, do you think they're going to take action now? Do you want this servant to send a message to Master to rescue Miss?"

Qin Luofei shook her head. The current situation was unclear, so it was best not to make a move.

"It's fine. Wait a little longer, I don't believe that scoundrel … the emperor is a masked man …"

Qin Luofei was currently conversing with Zi Yuan in a low voice when she saw Shangguan Die bringing two palace maids towards the Empress Palace in a hurry.

The usual graceful charm was gone, and his face was as gloomy as if it was about to rain. That's right, the Shangguan family had always been wearing the same pants as the Emperor. If something really happened to the emperor, the Shangguan family wouldn't be able to protect themselves, no wonder Shangguan Die was so nervous.

As long as Du Qingcheng did not move from the position of Third Brother, she would have to take care of this. Otherwise, he could only forcibly break out of the prison, but he was afraid that he had not reached that step yet.

"Let's go! I'm afraid some people are worse off than we are. "

As Qin Luofei said this, she and Zi Yuan followed closely behind Shangguan Die. Seeing her entire body trembling slightly, it seemed like she was quite frightened.

Today, the Cool Hall was a bit more vigilant than usual. There were six guards with silver armor standing at the entrance of the great hall, interrogating every passing imperial concubine.

Qin Luofei saw that these guards looked very unfamiliar, and most of the palace guards were made up of noble young masters, but when she saw these guards, their faces turned cold and murderous. They weren't noble young masters at all, but bandits that would kill without blinking an eye.

By now, he looked more similar to the guards who kidnapped him that day. It seemed like the Du Family had taken care of many people.

"Zi Yuan, you stay outside and wait for me. If I don't come out, you have to be cautious and leave the palace to find your master." Qin Luofei bit her lips.

Although the possibility of Du Qingcheng making a move against him before the Lin Family was formed was small, she still had to be prepared.

Zi Yuan nodded, then turned and walked towards the palace wall behind him.

Qin Luofei saw that Zi Yuan had hidden herself well before she walked towards the entrance of the palace by herself.

"Halt!" A guard stopped Qin Luofei without a trace of politeness.

Qin Luofei raised her eyes, brimming with a smile as she gently said, "There's something."

The guard was stunned, these palace imperial concubines were not to be trifled with, there was power backing them, just now that Shangguan Minghua immediately gave her a slap on the face of the guard who stopped her.

When the guard saw how courteous Qin Luofei was, he didn't continue to make things difficult for her. In any case, they were all powerless women. If there were any problems, he could just wave his hand and let them pass.

When the guard was raising his wrist, Qin Luofei saw a black mark on the guard's wrist, as if she had seen that mark somewhere before. However, she couldn't recall where she had seen it before.

Although the Du Family was powerful and prosperous, it was impossible to make the Second Prince ascend to the throne with just the Du Family, unless there was someone else.

In the past, the palace maids in Du Qingcheng's palace were rather courteous to the concubine s, but now, Fei Ming started to tease his, his tone turning neither cold nor overbearing. Shangguan Die, who was walking in front, almost hit the palace maids who was lifting the curtains for her.

She was the legitimate daughter of the Shangguan family, and she had always wanted to get what she wanted since she was young. Her father was also the emperor's teacher, so how many people didn't dare to give face to the Shangguan family?

After entering the palace, she was also deeply doted upon by the emperor. Because of the relationship with her teacher, the Emperor Ming could be said to be extremely fond of Shangguan Die, as any reward was best, so she naturally felt that she was a bit more unreasonable than the other palace concubines.

The emperor had only gone to the borders, and these servants didn't even put her in their eyes. How could she bear such humiliation?

"Impudent slave," Shangguan Die's small face had already darkened, scaring the palace maid who was raising the curtain as he quickly lowered his head, not daring to take action again.

Qin Luofei shook her head slightly as she thought to herself, There's still one more person who isn't afraid of death, yet at this time he's putting on a show. He really doesn't want to die, he's courting his own death.

When Shangguan Die entered, a cold light shot out of Qin Luo Fei's eyes. She had never seen that palace maid in Du Qingcheng's palace before, and when she looked at the other palace maids, they all had unfamiliar faces. Du Qingcheng was so cautious that even the people in the palace had been replaced with members of the Du Family.

When the servant lifted the curtain, Qin Luofei smiled faintly at the palace maid. The servant was stunned, but Qin Luofei had already walked in.

Today, there were truly a lot of people. All that could come had come.

Du Qingcheng was dressed in a bright yellow embroidered robe, and had a hairpin that could only be used by empresses. It contained a noble and majestic look, and when he looked at the concubine below, there was a trace of disgust in his eyes.

She liked the Emperor and naturally hated the women who had taken her away. However, these women would soon disappear. A hint of coldness leaked out from the corner of her mouth.

"Greetings to the empress!" Qin Luofei greeted Du Qingcheng in accordance with his usual etiquette.

In the past, she did not properly pay respects to Du Qingcheng either, it was just that today was different from the past.

In the past, with the presence of that bastard, everything would have been fine. But now, the lives of these concubine s were all in Du Qingcheng's hands.

Du Qingcheng gently caressed the jade pearl that hung around his neck, looked at Qin Luofei with an indifferent gaze, and said: "Little Sister Qin, get up! No need to be so polite. "

Du Qingcheng's tone was a little cold, but Qin Luofei didn't seem to know of his intentions. A hint of a smile formed on her lips, and she said: "Chenqie thanks the Empress very much, allowing chenqie to leave the palace to celebrate grandfather's birthday."

When Du Qingcheng saw Qin Luofei's gentle expression, his expression slightly eased up, and said indifferently: "Go ahead, Little Sister Qin! Today, our sisters have come in perfect order, just in time for us to talk. "

Qin Luofei secretly thought to herself, 'What are you doing?' and accidentally pulled her head inside.

"Many thanks, esteemed empress!" Qin Luofei retreated as she spoke.

With maid moving the seats over, Qin Luofei quietly sat down.

Imperial Consort Leng and Consort Mo sat on both sides of Du Qingcheng and were also silent. Looking at the expressions on their faces, they too were in a bad mood.

"Greetings to me, why are you all crying? Did I provoke you all?" Du Qingcheng had always been scolded by the empress dowager when he entered the palace, and had even been suppressed by this group of concubines. He had been choking on this ever since.

"The empress must be joking, how could chenqie dare?" Imperial Consort Leng had always been at odds with Du Qingcheng, and had been gentle since then.

Du Qingcheng let out a cold snort, looked at Consort Mo's stomach, and then slowly looked at the other concubine s.

The other concubine s did not dare say anything, even the dumbest of them felt that something was about to change.

"Esteemed empress, what are you saying?" "The Du Family has one hand covering the sky right now, how could we dare be disrespectful to the Empress?" Shangguan Die said in an unconvinced tone when she saw Du Qingcheng being so arrogant.

To think that the Shangguan Family gave birth to such a brainless woman, Qin Luofei sighed lightly. Even if Shangguan Die didn't come forward, Du Qingcheng would have likely come looking for trouble with her, let alone sending himself to her doorstep.

Du Qingcheng had long since disliked Shangguan Die, and had always relied on the emperor's pampering to offend her. But now, he actually dared to do such a thing.

"Are you saying that my Du Family has the heart to disobey?" Du Qingcheng's expression softened as he played around with the cup in his hand, and said indifferently.

Shangguan Die frowned, and said coldly: "Could it be, you Du Family do not have it? Then what about those imperial guards in the palace? "Empress, don't forget, you're the emperor's queen too. Without him, you won't be one."

concubines couldn't help but lower their heads. This was also what they were thinking in their hearts, but they didn't dare say it out loud at this moment. Instead, it was Shangguan Die who said it without a care.

"This one will always be the queen. I don't need to worry about that. Since my sister likes to stick her head out, it looks like the flowers in Imperial Garden this year weren't blooming brilliantly enough. They need my sister's blood to nourish them. "My sister is so beautiful, so beautiful that she's even worthy to be one of my roses," Du Qingcheng said with a cold smile.

The two old wet nurses who were standing beside Du Qingcheng immediately walked towards Shangguan Die, grabbed his arms and dragged him outside, but was forced away by him. Shangguan Die sneered, "The flower in the imperial garden was planted by the emperor for the Empress Leng, not for you, Du Qingcheng.

Her death could be said to be miserable, but all the women of this harem knew, Emperor Ming had only built pavilions and planted plants for Empress Leng, other concubine s, even Imperial Consort Leng did not have such honor.

When Du Qingcheng and the Imperial Consort Leng heard Shangguan Die's words, their faces turned ashen. Wasn't this the pain in their hearts as well? Although the Emperor Ming was heartless to the Empress Leng, they had also doted on him before, and promised that there was no friendship inside.

Maybe, without the Leng Family intimidating the emperor, the Empress Leng would still be sitting in her place properly, and her position as Empress Du Qingcheng might not even exist.

"Men! Drag him out and beat him to death!" Du Qingcheng's expression became very ugly.

Hearing others talk about her past life, Qin Luofei felt bitter.

In the past, she was too high up, so how could she know the thoughts and struggles of the concubine below.

Until now, she had deeply experienced this bitterness.

Previously, she felt that she was a kind person, but now, it seemed that it was merely the one-sided wish of a rich girl. There wasn't much difference between her and the other women in the harem.

Do you want the Emperor Ming to have feelings for you? Is that important? After all, he had died in his hands, and even the entire Leng Family had died in his hands.

He no longer had any sort of fate with him.
