Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Birthday Banquet
And the palace maids also talked behind their backs, although they didn't dare to say it explicitly, but everyone thought that Ye Aoxue's general trend was gone, and their attitudes gradually became presumptuous.
On this day, Ye Aoxue was developing all kinds of poisonous powder in the courtyard, because the previous Wuxiang Powder seemed to have no effect on Chu Litian, she decided to develop something new.
And at this moment, a palace maid came from outside, gave her a small salute, and said coldly: "The slave maid sees the concubine Niangniang." β
Ye Aoxue was engrossed in it, and was startled by her like this: "Are you a ghost?" Come in and don't say a word, which palace? β
"In the slave and maid Anning Palace, Concubine Xiang asked the concubine to discuss the matter of the little princess's birthday banquet."
Ye Aoxue pursed her lips: "This palace is not responsible for this matter, and this palace will not go." β
"Although the emperor said that Concubine Xiang should do his best to deal with this matter, as long as Concubine Xiang Niangniang needs help, others must obey, even if it is a concubine Niangniang." The palace maid's tone was very stiff, and she didn't take Ye Aoxue, the lord of the six palaces, into account at all.
Ye Aoxue was angered by this extremely disrespectful tone, and she snorted coldly: "What kind of thing are you, you dare to talk to this palace like this?" β
"The slave is just a slave, but the concubine should not be too ignorant, not to look at the monk's face, but also to see the Buddha's face, right? Please take a trip with the slave maid. The palace maid did not restrain in the slightest.
Yuan Xiang dragged it like this, even the palace maid in her palace dragged it, Ye Aoxue sneered, reached out and grabbed the palace maid's neck and lifted her up, and said to her with a control technique: "You go back and tell you Xiang Concubine Niangniang, if you want to send me, dream about it!" β
Who knew that the control technique had no effect on this palace maid, but I saw that the palace maid struggled to stretch out her hand, pulled out the hairpin on Ye Aoxue's head and was about to insert her.
Hum! It's just eating the gall of an ambitious leopard! Ye Aoxue threw the palace maid to the ground hard, only to hear a dull sound, the palace maid actually lay stiffly on the ground, and blood began to ooze from her head.
She was stunned, the palace maid was actually killed by her, and in her anger, she didn't know how much strength she used.
The palace maids and attendants of Yunju all saw this scene, and looked at Ye Aoxue in fear, no one dared to say anything, for fear that they would have the same fate as the palace maid in front of them.
At this time, a bright yellow color entered her sight, and then quickly walked to her side, and when she looked down, it was actually the palace maid in the Anning Palace, Chu Litian's face quickly became gloomy.
"What's going on?" He looked at Ye Aoxue puzzled, "You killed someone?" β
Ye Aoxue didn't raise her eyes, her expression didn't show the slightest panic, and she instructed Yuhuan Yuyin: "You call the attendant to carry this corpse to the Anning Palace, and tell her that this is the fate of provoking me!" β
Her anger skyrocketed and showed no signs of abating.
"Ye Aoxue, are you crazy?!" Chu Litian pressed her shoulder, "Sue sΓΉ me, how did Yuan Xiang offend you, and you want to kill her palace maid?" β
"Don't you see? Let Yuhuan explain it to you. Ye Aoxue coldly pushed his hand away.
"Your Majesty, it was this palace maid who looked for the stubble of the concubine as soon as she came in, and the concubine pushed her in anger, but I didn't expect her to die......" Yuhuan explained the ins and outs of the matter, after all, she is Ye Aoxue's slave, so she naturally has to protect her master.
"Even so, she won't die, Aoxue, you are too disrespectful of life." Chu Litian was still angry in his heart.
Ye Aoxue sneered twice: "A man who has slaughtered his own woman with his own hands has come to sue me for respecting life?" God, I heard you right, right? β
Her sneer was like Ye Zitong, and at that moment Chu Li naively thought that she was standing in front of him. But Ye Zitong will not be like this, she is kind, innocent and cute, although she is also short-tempered, she will not kill people casually, and she will not treat life like a mustard.
"You're not Ye Zitong." Chu Litian suddenly whispered, he subconsciously took a step back, "You are not Zitong." β
Ye Aoxue was stunned, she saw the disappointment in his eyes, floating like a rising tide, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, but she still rolled her eyes and said, "I'm not Ye Zitong in the first place!" β
"Yes, you're not her, you're so bad, you can't compare to her." Chu Litian said what he thought in his heart.
After hearing his words, Ye Aoxue's eyes became extremely cold, and she sneered and said, "It's good that you finally know." β
Chu Litian ignored her anymore and instructed the attendants: "Send the body out of the palace for burial, find the palace maid's parents, compensate them for the silver, and say that she died of a violent illness." β
The attendants agreed to leave, Chu Litian turned his head to look at Ye Aoxue, who had an untamed face, and said coldly: "You are a mustard for human life, I want to ban your feet, let you copy the death spell for a whole month, and pray for the palace maid who was killed by you, what is your opinion?" β
"You are the Son of Heaven, how dare I have an opinion?" Ye Aoxue looked at him with a sneer, but her heart became cold a little bit.
She sensed that as long as there was something about Yuan Xiang, Chu Litian would become extremely sensitive, and he would indiscriminately believe the words of others, there must be something strange in this.
"If you have no opinion, you will start copying from today, and you will have to copy ten pages every day, and let the palace maid send it to my palace every day." Chu Litian's tone became extremely cold.
Ye Aoxue glared at him angrily and stopped talking, although these things were nothing to her at all, but his obviously biased attitude towards Yuan Xiang made her unhappy.
Then, her straightforward personality couldn't hide her words and asked him: "Since you spoil Yuan Xiang so much, why do you want to make me a concubine?" Don't you think you're ridiculous? β
Chu Litian was slightly stunned, and the corners of his mouth hooked: "Why do you think I spoil her?" β
"Isn't it? You're biased towards her in everything. Ye Aoxue turned her face angrily, she knew that she shouldn't say this, but for some reason she couldn't help but complain, women are still very jealous, and Ye Aoxue is no exception.
"Where am I leaning towards her?" Looking at Ye Aoxue's bulging cheeks, Chu Litian's heart seemed to be teased by a cat's paw, he was originally angry, but at this moment, it all disappeared.
"You don't favor her? Everyone else saw it, didn't you convict me indiscriminately when she was poisoned last time? This time, too, you only saw that I accidentally killed the palace maid, but you didn't notice that she provoked me first. Ye Aoxue didn't know why, but she explained.
"And what do you want me to do?"
"You can do whatever you like." Ye Aoxue rolled her eyes angrily and turned around to leave.
But Chu Litian grabbed her wrist reluctantly, and pulled her into his arms with a slight pull, knowing that she was going to struggle, he tightened it hard, and said softly: "I know it's not you, but the rumors outside are overflowing, and it's not good for you, if I don't do this to you, others will say that you are a fox and a fool, I don't want you to bear such an infamy, you know?" β
His voice softly pierced her heart, Ye Aoxue's body seemed to be hit, and that soft heart began to tremble.
She suddenly felt frightened, for she had a premonition that she was about to fall into this gentle vortex, but she had entered the palace with a mission, and they were destined to go against each other.
But how could she resist his gentle tide like a raging wave?
Xiao Dai in her ears seemed to sense the ups and downs in her heart, and kept babbling in her ears to ask her to wake up, but it was thanks to Xiao Dai's blessing that Ye Aoxue came to her senses and pushed him away.
"By the way, what did she do with you before?" Chu Litian suddenly asked as if he remembered.
"Yuan Xiang seems to say that he has something to find me."
"It's about the little princess's birthday in a few days." Speaking of which, Chu Litian was full of guilt, "I wanted to leave it to you to take care of, but you were angry in those days, Yuan Xiang and her alone are really a bit far-fetched, it is not as good as you to be capable, it is better for you to help her." β
"Help her?" Thinking of Yuan Xiang's aggressive appearance, Ye Aoxue was very skeptical that she needed help.
I don't know if Chu Litian's embrace was too warm, but under his repeated persuasion, Ye Aoxue still agreed to go to Anning Palace to see what help Yuan Xiang needed.
Stepping into the door of Anning Palace, Ye Aoxue felt a chill for no reason, it seemed that she was really an unpopular persona, after explaining the reason, the palace maid introduced her into Yuan Xiang's study, and she was also looking at some accounts.
Since the poisoning incident, Ye Aoxue has never been to Anning Palace, and now when she sees her, she is getting thinner and thinner, but her eyes are still calm as water.
The palace maid retreated, and Ye Aoxue stood not far from her desk, looking at her vigilantly - after the lesson of the last time, she was afraid that Yuan Xiang would inadvertently shoot a sword, maybe this time she would not be so lucky.
Yuan Xiang raised his head, looked at her tense face, and sneered: "You can rest assured, I have lost my immortal power, and I can't do anything to you anymore." β
Ye Aoxue was incredulous: "Why? "Could it be that during the time of forgetting the ruins, the immortal power was consumed by the forgotten ruins?
"Bai Ze, he's so ruthless, we're still former lovers, and he actually abolished all my immortal power for a woman."
"For me?" Ye Aoxue carefully combed her words, "Can you explain your words?" β
"Hmph, I hate you so much, why do I have to answer your question?" Yuan Xiang said indignantly.
"And what are you asking me to do?" Remembering that Yuan Xiang almost killed her last time, it just so happened that Yuan Xiang now has no immortal power, and she can just return a tooth for a tooth, but if you think about it carefully, this seems to be the villain's doing, so let's wait for the right time.
"Here's an account, you can help me do the math." Yuan Xiang put away his anger and said slowly.
"What's in it for me?" Ye Aoxue wanted to see what conspiracy Yuan Xiang had.
"You are worthy of being taught by Bai Ze." Yuan Xiang pondered for a moment and said, "I see that you are confused, it seems that there are many things that are not clear, what do you want to know, I will sue you." Anyway, I'm a waste now. β
