Chapter 20: Seductive
Shi Xuanyu didn't dare to defend too much, for fear that if she said too much, the tyrannical and impermanent emperor would directly order her to be killed.
For her to admit her mistake decisively, not crying or making trouble, Chu Heng's mood was slightly better, and he said indifferently: "Since you are guilty, then why did you still let the maid come and beg me to come over." β
Shi Xuanyu kowtowed and said: "The concubine didn't know that Lily went to invite the emperor, which caused the queen to be injured, and the concubine was willing to be punished, and she never had anything to chance."
Besides, the concubine knows that the emperor and the queen have a deep relationship, and they also understand that the emperor is coming, and the concubine will only be rejected by the emperor. β
Chu Heng came to her, stepped on the blood stains on the ground, bent over, lifted her chin, and forced her to look at him.
From her eyes, I saw resignation and fear, as well as affection.
Shi Xuanyu's appearance and temperament are different from most women in the harem, she has a smell of wind and dust, bewitching and kitsch, but this kind of enchantment, the corners of her eyebrows and eyes are full of emotional charm.
On the bed, it is extremely open, and all kinds of tricks emerge in endlessly.
If he hadn't known that she was Ning Anhou's daughter, when he first spoiled her, he almost thought that this woman was chosen by Ning Anhou from the Qinglou.
Such a woman gave him more physical pleasure, which was a more indulgent feeling, which he had never had when he was with the queen.
Chu Heng let go of her and straightened his waist, "Come on, send Concubine Shi into the cold palace!" β
"Concubines, thank you for the emperor's grace." Shi Xuanyu kowtowed to thank her, and she let the tears that had been lingering for a long time flow at this time.
When she was stared at by the emperor, she felt the fear of her life being firmly controlled, and she never wanted to experience this feeling of escaping death again.
Tang Xinrou, who didn't come out of the palace, was slightly surprised, she was not satisfied with the result, the emperor didn't execute her!
However, when a person enters the cold palace, life and death are not up to her.
After Shi Xuanyu was dragged away, Chu Heng stayed in Chaofeng Palace and accompanied the queen for a long time, until someone from the palace reported that it was the prince of Zhenguo who asked to see him, and Chu Heng left.
As soon as the emperor left, Su'e came to Tang Xinrou's side and muttered a few words.
After Tang Xinrou heard this, she slapped the case with her hand, used her spiritual power, and collapsed the table, only to hear her hateful: "This palace knows that this Su Qingwan is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so it sent out the concubine, and there is another Su Liangyuan!" β
Su'e bent down and persuaded: "Don't worry about Niangniang, no matter who she is, I have to respect you for three points, and it is not difficult for Niangniang to dispose of her." β
"No, the emperor will be suspicious." Tang Xinrou said: "However, I will invite her to interrogate tomorrow, and I will say that this palace wants to see Su Liangyuan's dancing." β
"The slave understands."
Leisurely glimpsing the broken jade pendant on the table, Tang Xinrou thought of Shi Xuanyu, who should have been killed by the emperor's cane, and recalled Shi Xuanyu's ruthlessness and eagerness, so he said: "Let Li Xun find an opportunity to cook the one in the cold palace." β
Su E was puzzled: "She has already entered the cold palace, I am afraid that she will die of old age in it, why should Niangniang bother with this effort, and the emperor did not kill her, I am afraid that she is nostalgic, if she dies suddenly, the emperor will suspect Niangniang." β
What she said today is full of loopholes, and the biggest suspicion is that the queen has a fire phoenix spirit vein, how could she be so easily approached and injured by Concubine Shi, and besides, there are still slaves and maids in the palace watching, and it should be Concubine Shi who wants to be injured.
It's just that the emperor trusts Niangniang and doesn't think about it, or knows but doesn't point it out.
Tang Xinrou also understood this, and said more firmly: "It is because the emperor still pities her that he can't let her live, and if she comes back one day, it will definitely become a big trouble for the palace." β
Su'e didn't persuade again, bowed and saluted, "The slave maid will go and inform Manager Li." β
"Slowly, you can't let her die too early, and then do it in a few days, there must be no trace."
"Don't worry, the slave will tell Mr. Li."
In the Yunling Palace, Su Qingwan, who had just received a reward from the emperor, was called over by Yun Caiqing.
After waiting for the screen to retreat left and right, Yun Caiqing stared at her and said: "There are others here, I don't want to ask you, I treat you as a sister who can be close to each other, what I ask you next, don't lie to me." β
Su Qingwan saw her serious attitude and said, "I don't like to lie. β
Yun Caiqing didn't break the room left in her words, and asked directly: "Do you want to embark on the road of competing for favor?" β
Su Qingwan nodded and shook her head: "I don't like to compete for favor, but I don't want to die either, in this palace, only by getting the emperor's favor and being promoted to the concubine position can I live." β
She sighed, and then said: "I offended Zhao Changzai, and today I provoked Xue Concubine, if I am not strong enough, how will I live in the future?" β
Seeing that she had no choice but to do so, Yun Caiqing said: "With me here, as long as you call me sister, I won't let you be bullied." β
Su Qingwan smiled bitterly and said: "Good sister, I understand your intentions, but I can't just take care of myself and ignore my family, you also heard it, Zhao Changzai can openly threaten my family, so what about the rest of the people, those who are more clever will do things secretly."
Since I have entered the palace, I am no longer a well-loved good girl in the family, but I should use my own methods to protect my parents who gave birth to me and raised me. β
The sincerity of what she said touched Yun Caiqing, who just now felt that Su Qingwan was as vulgar as the other women in the harem.
Su Qingwan is right, she thought about things too naΓ―vely, if Sister Liang could have such thoughts back then, maybe she wouldn't end up with no bones.
She saw Sister Liang's figure from Su Qingwan again, today in Mojuyuan, when she watched her dance, she felt familiar, although the style was slightly different, but that kind of sassy feeling and skilled dance steps, in addition to Sister Liang, she couldn't imagine that there was a second person in this world who could do it.
However, the "Spirit Dragon" dance danced by Su Qingwan is very different from what Sister Liang danced at the beginning, the difference lies in the movements and eyes, maybe the spirit dragon on everyone's body is different.
Yun Caiqing quipped: "It's so beautiful to see you dancing today, can you dance for my sister too?" β
Su Qingwan's heart jumped, could it be that she was suspicious? Then she felt impossible, her mood was different from back then, and the dance was completely different, and besides, after more than two years, she shouldn't remember what she was like dancing back then.
"If my sister wants to see it, I'll dance for you in the evening, but you'll have to give some color." Su Qingwan smiled and teased back.
"At night, forget it, uncle, I still have to practice swords, and then I have to meditate, and then it's time to sleep, I don't have time to pamper you." Yun Caiqing seriously refused.
After speaking, he and Su Qingwan glanced at each other, and smiled at the same time.
