Chapter 125 - Wishing to ask for a favor from your sister
Qin Luofei nodded.
maid opened the curtain, and Qin Luofei walked in.
Qin Luofei didn't know what smell was in the room, but it was so thick that she couldn't help but frown.
She still vaguely remembered the first time she saw Du Qingcheng, how she had been bewitched by her beauty, how beautiful she was, and how she was no longer inferior to the Imperial Consort Leng and Qin Luoyu. In the blink of an eye, that devastatingly beautiful woman had vanished into thin air, just like her own past life.
"Sister Qin, is that you?"
Qin Luofei walked into the pavilion and saw the wide bed bed. A woman with a pale face was lying there. Her hair was messy, and her clothes were untidy.
"Empress Sis …" Qin Luofei looked at Du Qingcheng's haggard appearance and unexpectedly didn't recognize him anymore.
Seeing Qin Luofei's shocked expression, Du Qingcheng slightly leaned forward and laughed: "Have I become very ugly?"
Qin Luofei shook her head, sitting up straight by the bed, and pulled Du Qingcheng's hand.
"Big sister, this is always the first time little sister has seen such a beautiful girl!"
Du Qingcheng laughed speechlessly, and said: "Thank you, but little sister is still willing to come visit me. I knew that there would come a day when the Du Family would have such a day, but I didn't know they would come so quickly."
Qin Luofei nodded slightly, and said with a bitter smile: "These are not things that us women can control."
"But I told Seventh Prince about the Du Family's conspiracy." Du Qingcheng said lightly.
Qin Luofei was stunned, her eyes looked straight at Du Qingcheng, and she said: "Big Sis … Why would you do that? "
"Because, I like him. I've always liked him, more than the Du Family." Du Qingcheng's eyes suddenly lit up.
Qin Luofei's heart turned cold, she understood who Du Qingcheng was referring to. Unfortunately, that person might never return.
"I always hoped that I would be like my little sister, cold to anyone. Even if it's him, my little sister can bear to use him."
Qin Luofei tacitly agreed. After she had entered the palace, she had indeed not placed her mind on that person. Perhaps because she was too sad, it was difficult for her to love another person.
"Big sister, you will get better. With the empress dowager here, Emperor Yun will not make things difficult for big sister!" Qin Luofei kindly comforted Du Qingcheng.
Du Qingcheng sneered and said, "Empress Dowager, you can't even protect yourself anymore, how could you possibly protect me? I don't have any lingering feelings in this world anymore, I just miss my sister and want to say a few words to her. "
Qin Luofei nodded.
Du Qingcheng used all his strength to pull Qin Luofei's hand, and urgently said: "I want to ask of little sister one thing."
"What is it? As long as little sister can do it, I will definitely agree to big sister's request." Qin Luofei knew that these were probably Du Qingcheng's last words.
"I want you to protect the child in Consort Shu's stomach. That is his last blood and bone!" Du Qingcheng was still thinking about the man who never doted on her.
She looked at Du Qingcheng and thought back to her past self. She had also put in great effort for a man like this, yet in the end, she had suffered so much.
"Elder sister, you are too stupid." Qin Luofei turned her head, unable to look at Du Qingcheng anymore.
Du Qingcheng held onto Qin Luofei's hand and slowly said: "I know that little sister has always been worried about Ling Tai. I've already sent him to a safe place, and will have to trouble little sister to take care of him on my behalf in the future."
Qin Luofei nodded.
After Du Qingcheng said those words, he was already panting from exhaustion.
"Elder sister, you should get a good rest!" Seeing Du Qingcheng's breathless look, Qin Luofei quickly pulled up her blanket and instructed the palace maids to take care of him.
Du Qingcheng opened his eyes and watched Qin Luofei walk out of the palace door, then closed his eyes.
This was probably the last time they would meet.
As a woman, she would forever be like duckweed, unable to control her own life.
Seeing that Qin Luofei had come out, Zi Yuan immediately went forward to support her.
"Let's go!" Her and Du Qingcheng's past had all turned into dark clouds.
Du Qingcheng had hurt her before, and he had also helped her before.
The two of them walked along the high walls of the palace towards the imperial garden, where the flowers, beaten by the autumn frost, had lost the color of the summer flowers. However, as they struggled for the last time, they would eventually return to the dust.
"Miss, something's not right. Why are there suddenly so many guards?" Zi Yuan saw that the imperial garden was surrounded by guards and could not help but be shocked.
Qin Luofei raised her eyes and coincidentally met with a pair of watery eyes.
The owner of those eyes was wearing white armor and wielding a sword. Looking at the quality of the armor, he should be the leader of the guards, could it be that the person who saved him was ordered by Seventh Prince?
Qin Luofei rolled her eyes at him. It was the second time she met him in the palace since the last time. However, he was even more handsome than before, and the look in his eyes seemed to become even more colorful.
Qin Luofei's eyes couldn't help but stare at the corner of his lips. His lips were like a butterfly's, making her think of the Prince Xi from the past.
The latter's eyes were also looking at Qin Luofei. The bright purple palace muslin that was as thin as a cicada's wing wrapped around her slender body, making her slim waist even more delicate. Her face also seemed to have become thinner, but it had become more exquisite, making others unable to shift their gaze away.
The two of them stared at each other blankly, but they forgot about the other pair of eyes.
Those dark and gloomy eyes swept across Ling Jian and Qin Luofei's faces, revealing a hint of a cold air that they could endure.
"Concubine Qin, your majesty is on top. Send your majesty up!" A young eunuch by Emperor Yun's side, Little Huan Zi, walked over and bowed.
He was someone who was close to the Emperor Yun and had some understanding of the thoughts of the Emperor Yun. The Emperor Yun had a personality colder than the Emperor Ming, and towards females, especially, their mansions did not have any real concubine s. Thus, after the Emperor Yun ascended to the throne, the last few seats were always empty, and even the number of concubine s was barely enough to fill three places.
Qin Luofei raised her eyes, looking at the tall platform which was piled high with stones that reached into the clouds.
In her previous life, she loved that platform the most, and she spent her days on it. In this life, she was slightly disgusted with that platform and was never willing to easily ascend it.
The last time, and the only time, she was severely injured. After that, she was even more unwilling to go on stage.
Emperor Yun was dressed in bright yellow embroidered robes, and his hair was tied together with a white jade hairpin. It paired with his extremely gorgeous face, making him look even more devastatingly beautiful.
He was as cold as the man before him, but with a different scent.
However, Ling Jian slowly … His ice seemed to have started to melt for a person, and it was very difficult to see his cold appearance again. His gaze that looked at you was also like spring's thin layer of ice, slowly melting, and it was very touching.
Ling Jian's eyes darkened slightly. He had always known what Master was thinking about this Concubine Qin, and it was different from how it was with other girls. From the moment he asked him to protect her, he had already guessed it.
Qin Luofei looked at the beautiful man standing on the stage, frowned, and said with a faint smile: "If the wind is too strong up there, this concubine will not go up anymore. This concubine will return to the palace."
As Qin Luofei spoke, she turned and left, scaring Young Eunuch Zhuan Zi into a daze. No one had ever dared to disobey the emperor's orders before.
"Concubine Qin, I don't have the guts to let you go, I think it's better if you follow me, and I don't want to make things difficult for you."
Little Ring-zi said in a low voice. Even if she had to say all the good words, Qin Luofei would not budge.
I am his sister-in-law, not his concubine. Why should I listen to him? Just as Qin Luofei finished speaking, a cold voice rang out.
"You really are my good imperial sister-in-law!" Emperor Yun glared fiercely at the girl in front of him and said angrily.
This girl could always make him instantly lose his cool.
When Qin Luofei heard the sound of his voice, she turned her head and giggled. Her eyes contained a hidden smile as they locked onto Emperor Yun's fiery eyes.
"Royal brother, is the scenery up there good?" Qin Luofei clearly knew that her royal brother's words might cause the Emperor Yun to go crazy with rage, but she said that it was also a rare pleasure to tease him.
"Don't think that I don't dare to kill you!" Emperor Yun snorted coldly.
Qin Luofei looked at the handsome, cold man approaching closer and closer. Indeed, the throne was raising people, and normally, he was already exceptionally beautiful. Now, he was even more imposing, so many women could only look up to him.
"I am just a little girl, it won't be too fun for the emperor to kill me." Qin Luofei smiled shamelessly, causing the Emperor Yun to be stunned for a moment.
Emperor Yun waved to the guards and Zi Yuan, and said: "You may leave!"
Ling Jian glanced at Qin Luofei, then looked at Emperor Yun, before slowly retreating.
"You seem to like my guard a lot. How about I give him to you?" Emperor Yun coldly spoke as he saw Qin Luofeng's gaze slightly turn to Ling Jian.
Qin Luofei turned her head and said indifferently, "Thank you, your majesty, for sending people to save me that day."
"If I had known that you were so eloquent, I might as well have let those people kill you!" Emperor Yun's expression was even colder.
Qin Luofei couldn't help but roll her eyes. Helpless, she said, "Can you not be so ice-cold? Don't you know that men are really annoying when they act like this?"
"You … "Then look at Ling Jian, don't hate him," Emperor Yun couldn't hold back from saying these words even though he knew that he would mock him.
Qin Luofei nodded happily, and smilingly said, "It's not bad." Seeing Emperor Yun's ugly expression, he could only shut his mouth.
"Walk with me!" For the first time, I feel that this imperial garden is truly too big. " Emperor Yun looked a little tired, maybe the matter of the court was not so easy to resolve, after all, the Du Family had experienced a few generations, it was not so easy to get rid of them all.
Qin Luofei walked beside Emperor Yun, smiled lightly and said, "I still remember the first time I saw Seventh Prince, it was just like yesterday."
Emperor Yun raised his eyes, looked at the pale Gao Song, and slightly nodded.
The first time he saw her, he was stunned. This was the first time a girl could dance such a beautiful dance.
It was rare for the two of them to live in peace together, but the calm quickly disappeared.
Two women who looked like palace concubines walked over from the side of the imperial garden. Seeing the joy in Emperor Yun's eyes, they walked over seductively.
