Chapter 127 - Mystery Master
Everyone looked tired and dispersed.
Consort Shu came out of the western courtyard and went straight to the Empress Dowager's palace.
Empress Dowager was getting on in years, but his temper was getting worse. Just as he entered the courtyard, he heard the sound of someone hitting the wall from Empress Dowager's dorm room, "You guys are going to kill me, scram."
Consort Shu's eyes darkened, she waved for the palace maids behind him to withdraw, and she entered the palace.
Seeing that the Consort Shu had entered the house, the old granny who was serving the Empress Dowager hurriedly retreated.
"Old Ancestor, who has angered you again?" Consort Shu's seductive eyes lightly swept over Empress Dowager's body, revealing a faintly discernable coldness.
Too many years had passed since the Han Family's female lead, yet Empress Dowager had never let it go.
Empress Dowager's old eyes fiercely landed on Consort Shu's coquettish face. The corners of her lips moved, but she did not say anything, as she continued to act like a dragon and cloud bed.
The Consort Shu sighed slightly and said gently, "The Han Family has been glorious for hundreds of years already. The Old Ancestor should not force him."
"I want you to seduce the emperor. Our Han family cannot continue to be downtrodden." Empress Dowager's eyes suddenly became fierce again as he looked at Consort Shu aggressively.
Hearing Empress Dowager's words, he helplessly frowned, the corner of his mouth curving upwards to form a faintly discernable glisten as he said tenderly: "I obey Empress Dowager's orders."
"You're really willing?" Empress Dowager looked at him with doubt in his eyes and nodded slightly.
No matter what, whether she was willing or not, Empress Dowager would force her to do it.
Seeing Consort Shu nod her head in agreement, Empress Dowager's expression became slightly better, but soon after, ice appeared on her face, and she said solemnly: "I have already told you, to get rid of that Concubine Qin, if you don't act now, I think she will become a disaster sooner or later. Right now, you're also deceiving the new Emperor, you really are a vixen. "
Hearing Concubine Qin, Consort Shu's face became a bit stiff, but she nodded slightly, and said: "I'll listen to what the Old Ancestor says."
Empress Dowager's expression gradually relaxed.
A few days later, Qin Luofei heard that the Consort Shu had always been pestering the Emperor Yun, which made the Emperor Yun feel very helpless.
There were not many men in the world who could reject such a devastatingly beautiful girl.
The empress dowager had also heard of this matter and felt that there were very few concubine s in the Emperor Yun.
A new beauty entered the palace, which made Qin Luofei remember the scene when they just entered the palace, it was as if it was yesterday.
Du Qingcheng's disease was no longer effective, it was just a matter of time. With the empress dowager here, things shouldn't be too difficult for her, but her title as Empress wouldn't be preserved.
Qin Luofei was walking alone in the imperial garden. When she saw that the flowers had all withered away, leaving only the yellow leaves hanging from the treetops, she felt even more sad.
Just as he was deep in melancholy, he saw a handsome man wearing a purple python robe walking over. The man had delicate and cold eyes, he was Ling Wang, the third son of the former Qin Manor.
"Third brother." Qin Luofei saw the shadow on Third Young Master's face dissipate, so she quickly went up to greet him.
It had been a long time since she saw her third brother outside of the main hall.
After hearing that he had just returned from the Barbarians, she wanted to find an opportunity to meet him. However, she didn't expect that she would run into him right in the imperial garden.
Ling Wang looked at the girl in front of him. His eyebrows were even more gorgeous than when he was at home, and his smile was still so dazzling, causing him to unconsciously feel a sense of warmth.
Qin Luofei grabbed hold of Ling Wang's slender fingers, looked around him once, and then asked urgently, "Third brother, you went to the barbarians, are you hurt?!"
Seeing Qin Luofei so worried for him, Ling Wang pursed his lips and shook his head. He dotingly looked at Qin Luofei and gently said, "I'm fine, little sister."
Qin Luofei's eyes reddened, she nodded, and said coquettishly: "It's just that third brother is not here, I really miss third brother."
Ling Wang reached out his hand and gently tucked away the messy hair at the side of Qin Luofei's temples. That soft and loving gaze stunned Qin Luofei for a moment.
Time was still.
The two of them looked at each other, as if they had forgotten everything around them.
Emperor Yun stood beside the fake mountain and looked at the two who were staring at each other. Who knew what the two were talking about? He smiled.
Ling Wang had always been a cold person, but when he faced this woman, he smiled like an idiot, not hiding his emotions at all.
This woman was truly a beauty that could bring disaster upon others. As long as it was a good-looking man, he would dare to hook up with her. That year, when she saw her royal brother, she ran into the palace and saw that her fifth brother had tried so hard to hook up with her.
"Third brother, where do you live now? Do you still live in the Qin Manor? " Qin Luofei asked in concern.
The Ling Wang shook his head and said, "Your majesty, you have already given me a residence."
As a noble prince, he should have his own mansion.
Qin Luofei nodded, thinking in her heart: That's fine, the Qin family isn't a good place, it's better to hide away from them.
A few days ago, she had heard that the internal strife in the Qin Manor was becoming more and more intense.
"Little brother Ling, so you were here to make it easy for this royal brother to find you." Emperor Yun walked over from beside the fake mountain. A pair of gloomy eyes glanced at Qin Luofei, causing her flower-like face to immediately shrink.
When the Ling Wang saw the Emperor Yun, he saluted slightly, "Royal brother."
"Royal brother, what are you chatting about with Concubine Qin for? You're so happy." A hint of a smile appeared in Emperor Yun's eyes, but when he saw Qin Luofei's eyes, his entire body turned cold.
Ling Wang's eyes looked at Qin Luofei, and immediately became a lot gentler. A faint smile appeared on his lips, and he said: "I haven't seen my little sister for a long time, so I'm just chatting about family matters."
"Sister." When Emperor Yun looked at Qin Luofei's infatuated expression, he did not feel the slightest bit like his younger sister.
"Little brother Ling, you're not young anymore. This time, royal brother will choose an imperial concubine, and he will take the opportunity to choose a main wife for you. This will also help in your life." As Emperor Yun spoke, he looked at Qin Luofei.
Qin Luofei glared at her angrily. What did it have to do with her whether or not her third brother had a main wife? How infuriating.
When Emperor Yun saw Qin Luofei's angry look, his lips involuntarily curled up. Fighting with him, was still a little too tender.
When the Ling Wang heard the Emperor Yun's words, his eyes dimmed, but he quickly refused. "Junior Brother Chen is still young, I still don't want to worry about you so soon."
Hearing Ling Wang's words, Qin Luofei's heart immediately cooled down. Her third brother was tactful.
Seeing that his good intentions were actually rejected, Emperor Yun could not help but feel gloomy.
Qin Luofei rolled her eyes at Emperor Yun. If she had come early, she wouldn't have come late, but she came at this time to stop Third Brother from talking.
"Ling Jian." Emperor Yun did not believe that he could not defeat her.
When Qin Luofei heard the two words "Ling Jian", she couldn't help but look towards the back of the Emperor Yun.
Ling Jian was the Emperor Yun's personal bodyguard, and had always protected the Emperor Yun closely.
Qin Luofei hadn't seen Ling Jian for a while, she only felt that the feng shui of the palace had taken care of her, causing Ling Jian to become more and more beautiful.
Ling Jian's eyes looked at Qin Luofei before looking at Ling Wang, and said to him, "Your Majesty."
Qin Luofei had special feelings for Ling Jian, so she couldn't help but to move her body a little further away from the Ling Wang.
Ling Wang sensed it and looked at Ling Jian with a pair of sharp eyes.
Ling Jian did not cower because of his status. He stood there, neither haughty nor humble.
Emperor Yun was very satisfied with this result.
"Greetings, your Imperial Majesty."
Hearing that coquettish voice, Emperor Yun frowned. He didn't need to think to know that it was Consort Shu.
Seeing Emperor Yun's headache, Qin Luofei couldn't help but laugh. Not only was Emperor Yun afraid of Consort Shu, she even felt a headache when she saw him.
Consort Shu's stomach had already started to bulge slightly, but it didn't hinder her beauty in the slightest. Her figure was still as light as ever, and her eyes swept across Qin Luofei before looking at Emperor Yun. She instantly pouted, like an abandoned wife.
"No wonder the emperor isn't waiting for me in the pavilion, he's here to accompany his sister."
With this Empress Dowager, he wouldn't be able to imprison his like he did with the other concubine. He could only endure her harassment for now.
"Big Sister Consort Shu, you don't need to say that. I just met the Emperor with Big Brother, so Little Sister won't stop Big Sister and the Emperor from touring the garden." Qin Luofei glanced at Ling Wang when he said this.
The Ling Wang nodded.
"Then Chendi will take his leave." The Ling Wang bid farewell to the Emperor.
Emperor Yun watched the damned woman eagerly as he walked towards the corridor behind the Ling Wang, shoulder to shoulder with her happily.
"Your majesty, let's go play chess in the pavilion!" The Consort Shu had a breathtaking smile, a pair of limpid eyes. Even someone as cold as the Emperor Yun was tempted.
Qin Luofei and the Ling Wang walked along the corridor, and only stopped when they saw that they were quite far away from the Emperor Yun.
"Sister, is there anything you want to ask me?" Seeing that Qin Luofei's expression was different from before, Ling Wang knew that she had something to say to him.
Qin Luofei originally didn't want to tell anyone else, but this matter could not be concealed sooner or later, so he could only tell his brother.
Qin Luofei lowered her voice and said, "I'm pregnant. I'm pregnant with the late emperor's blood and bones."
The moment Qin Luofei said this, it caused Ling Wang to be greatly shocked.
Although Emperor Yun had not made a move on his, that was because he had Empress Dowager behind her back. If Emperor Yun knew that Qin Luo Fei was pregnant with the late emperor's blood and bone, he would definitely not stay.
Cutting the grass without removing the roots was a huge taboo.
"Then what does little sister plan to do?" Ling Wang looked at the people on the left and right of him, and said with a low voice.
Qin Luofei's mind was also in a mess, she whispered: "Big brother, did the late emperor really die? will he still be alive? "
Once upon a time, she had wanted him dead, but now that she was carrying his blood, she wished he could live, so that she could live, too. She didn't think that the sparse love that the Emperor Yun had for her would be enough to accommodate the child in her womb.
In her previous life, she hadn't been able to protect her bones and blood. In this life, she absolutely could not let him down, and she absolutely had to protect him thoroughly.
The Ling Wang pondered for a moment, then said: "The people we sent did not find the late emperor's body, he might still be alive, but … Even if he was still alive, it would be impossible for him to reclaim the throne. Right now, the imperial court is even a part of the Emperor Yun, it would be easier said than done if the late emperor were to return. "
"Then if the late emperor comes back, which side will brother be on?" Qin Luofei looked at the Ling Wang with his eyes.
