Chapter 728: The Cold Palace Abandons the Concubine and the Rich and Rivals the Country (1)
Qiao Huan sat on the edge of the bed, swallowing melon seeds while accepting the information of the world this time.
The empty palace was deserted, with no furniture except for the bed on which she sat and the cupboard beside it.
Not even a table or chair.
Not to mention decorative objects such as calligraphy and painting vases.
"It's really miserable." Qiao Fan sighed casually.
Before the original owner was sent to the cold palace, he had already been made a concubine, and he was only two steps away from the queen's position.
However, the father of the original owner was born as a military general, and now he has a heavy army and fights the world.
And Prime Minister Jiang Cheng is the younger brother of the Queen Mother, and his power is inclined to the court.
Today's emperor was originally just a powerless prince, idle clouds and wild cranes, and the four seas were his home.
also escaped the whirlpool of succession.
However, the last battle for the heir was too fierce, the dead died, the crippled, and the crippled.
After picking and choosing, he finally passed the throne to the current emperor.
However, the emperor's mother has long since passed away, and now the empress dowager and Prime Minister Jiang are manipulating the court, and General Qiao holds the military power.
The two forces almost hollowed out the emperor's real power.
Emperor: Lao Tzu just wants to idle clouds and wild cranes! Don't want to be an emperor!
But the throne is not something that can be conceded, but only by working hard.
β¦β¦
After the emperor ascended the throne, he had to choose concubines to fill the harem.
But the emperor is very tough in this regard, and he will never choose a concubine at will, not even a warm bed.
As a result, the court wondered whether the emperor had broken his sleeves.
In the end, the emperor finally relented, but only two concubines were chosen.
The eldest daughter of the Jiang family, Jiang Xueyin, is titled De and is ranked as a concubine.
The daughter of the Qiao family, Qiao Fan, titled Min, is ranked as a concubine.
The emperor blatantly stated that he married a concubine just to balance the two forces.
Just when everyone was watching who would be favored, the emperor still did not set foot in the harem.
It's like marrying two vases, but you can only watch it from a distance, no-
Ahem.
Jiang Xueyin is the niece of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is naturally protecting.
And the original owner and the queen mother do not belong to the same camp, and they are helpless in the harem.
During a greeting for peace, the Queen Mother was angry and sent the original owner directly into the cold palace.
The original owner entered the cold palace without explanation, ate a few bites of food, and met the king of Hades.
A tragic life, I don't know how to die.

Qiao Huan finished eating the melon seeds in his purse, and he just finished browsing the information of this world.
"So, someone is trying to kill me?" Qiao Huan looked at the already cold meal on the coffee table, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Yes, it's the Queen Mother who wants to kill you." The system said: "But the core plot, I don't have the permission to query." β
Qiao Fan was puzzled: "Do you still want permission?" β
The system sensed that it was too late, so it had to say, "Yes, the tasker has to complete the task by his own ability, and I can provide auxiliary information." But I don't have access to core materials like this. β
No wonder the waste system is so wasteful.
Qiao Huan stood up and asked, "What is the initial belief value?" β
"Initial Faith 0." The system blindly called: "Phantom duck, come on!" You can do it! β
Qiao Xuan glanced at the palace and walked out the door.
If you're hungry, find something to eat first.
There was no one in the deserted palace, and there was no one in the lonely courtyard outside the door.
There is only a cool night breeze, and a lonely moon.
Joe fantasized about going out, but the courtyard door was locked from the outside, and he couldn't go out directly.
Looking at the two-meter-high wall and the locust tree next to it, Qiao Huan used his strength to climb directly from the tree to the top of the wall and climb over the wall.
Fortunately, the original owner was born in a martial arts family and has a little kung fu foundation.
Although it is the kung fu of a three-legged cat, it is much better than the weak woman weak willow Fufeng.
Qiao Huan said: "All of them, give me a navigation to the imperial dining room." β
System: "Okay! β
The cold palace is far away from the main hall of the harem, and the patrol has not arranged this road.
Qiao Fan dodged the patrolling people and touched the imperial dining room.
There are not many people on duty at night in the imperial dining room, but the fire is still warm, and you can have a hot meal at any time.
Qiao Huan was extremely sad, she didn't expect that she would have a day of stealing food.
Fortunately, the people on duty were outside, and the guards were not strict, so Qiao Huan went through the window and entered the dining room.
"All of them, are these poisonous?" Qiao Fan saw a stack of steamers and swallowed his saliva.
The system was silent for a moment and said, "Don't eat the fish at the top, the rest is fine." β
Qiao Huan snorted and carefully found the roast chicken and pig's trotters.
The roast chicken is bright in color, shaped like ingots, and has a mouthful of cockroaches. Qiao Xuan squatted down and leaned against the stove to nibble on meat.
While eating, there was a faint noise by the window!
Immediately there was the sound of clothes rubbing, and Qiao Huan's heart was not good.
It can't be that bad, right?
It would be too embarrassing if you were caught stealing it, right?
No, coming in through the window means that this person is also a stealer!
Qiao Fan figured it out instantly.
It turns out that I came to steal food!
The man didn't come around, tiptoeing over the steamer.
Qiao Xuan bit the chicken leg, moved to the other side of the stove, and stood up.
When the tall figure saw something coming up, he was about to strike immediately.
However, Joe Phantom is faster!
Because he was prepared, Qiao Fan pounced directly and reached out to cover the mouth of the visitor.
"Be quiet, I'm here to steal food too." Qiao Huan lowered his voice.
The man whose mouth was covered: ?!
Qiao Huan looked at a pair of deep eyes and found that something seemed to be wrong?!
She slowly let go of her hand.
The man was already ready to kill people, but he didn't expect to be directly smeared with oil.
This......
Pei Ye's eyes narrowed dangerously.
Why is Concubine Min here?
Seeing her like this, did the cold palace not give her food, forcing her to come over and steal food?
Oh, the emperor's things, are there blessings and lives to eat?
Pei Ye waved away Qiao Huan's hand and took out the top fish.
"Don't eat this," Qiao Huan looked at the face of the same person who had fallen from the end of the world, and said kindly: "This is not delicious." β
Pei Ye looked at the whole fish and asked, "Have you tasted it?" β
"You don't have to taste it to know it's not delicious, and the fishy smell doesn't go." Qiao Huan said as he took his roast chicken and pig's trotters, "Nibble on this, this is delicious." β
Pei Ye glanced at it with some disgust, "You can eat." β
Qiao Fan let out an "oh" and lowered his head to continue eating.
Pei Ye didn't want to eat supper, but Qiao Huan's appearance of gnawing meat made people want to taste it.
Reaching out and breaking another chicken leg, Pei Ye took a bite.
The meat is delicious, fat but not greasy, and delicious.
Qiao Fan pointed to the pig's trotters again, "This is also delicious." β
Pei Ye: ......
I gradually forgot the purpose of coming to the Imperial Dining Room.
The system said excitedly: "This, this is the emperor!" Phantom Duck push him down! The faith value of a country after it must be very high. β
"Forget it, if he pretends not to recognize me, I will pretend not to recognize him." Qiao Huan calmly analyzed: "This is what smart people do, I don't want to die." β
System: "...... Then you complain to him and let him let you out of the cold palace as soon as possible. β
"Let's see." Qiao Huan gnawed on the pig's trotters with his heart.
It is worthy of being produced by the imperial dining room, and it is really fat but not greasy.
Pei Ye saw Qiao Huan eating meat without eating, and there was a trace of envy in his heart.
This is the life he yearns for!
Locked up in the palace, bound everywhere.
Although thinking so, Pei Ye still chewed and swallowed slowly.
After Qiao Huan finished gnawing, he said, "I'm full, I haven't seen it today." β
Pei Ye's eyes were thoughtful.
General Joe's daughter, if she could be so smart all the time, spare her life.
Qiao Fan slipped out of the imperial dining room, covered in a cold sweat.
"I was scared to death, I thought I was going to die." Qiao Huan patted his chest and said in fear.
It's not easy to confront the top forces in this world.
Qiao Huan returned to the cold palace and wanted to rest for one night and wait for the next day to think about these things.
However, the courtyard door was opened, and Qiao Xuan heard Suosuo's footsteps outside.
"Is Concubine Min really dead?"
"The poison in the food can definitely poison her, as long as we let it go and use the excuse to go to the water, it will be foolproof."
"I, I'm afraid, you go in and see!"
"After becoming a eunuch, even the courage is small? Then you carry the oil drum and pour it directly on the windows and doors. β
"Okay!"
The two had a clear division of labor, and they decided what happened in an instant.
Qiao Huan was looking forward to it.
After the door was pushed open, a small palace maid wearing a palace maid's costume walked in.
Qiao Huan stood behind the door, and when the palace maid came in, he stretched out his hand to knock her unconscious.
Oil was still pouring outside, and Qiao Huan quickly stripped off the palace maid's clothes and changed them with his own clothes.
"I've spilled all the oil, are you okay?" The little eunuch outside asked in a low voice.
There was no answer.
The little eunuch said again: "I'm going to set fire, you come out quickly." β
Still no one answered.
The little eunuch trembled.
At this moment, the door was opened, and the "palace maid" walked out.
The little eunuch breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought you were dead!" β
"You're right!" Qiao Xuan raised his eyes, and in the frightened eyes of the little eunuch, the knife slashed at the back of the little eunuch's neck.
Qiao Huan blinked, and turned out the gold, silver, and fire folds from the little eunuch.
A fire directly burned this cold palace.
Since the palace can't accommodate her, then she will change places.
What kind of cold palace abandoned concubine?!
She Qiao Fancai doesn't rely on men to complete the task!
After Qiao Huan threw the fire, he quietly left the palace.
Xu is because the Queen Mother wants to kill people, and tonight's defense is extremely lax, which gives Qiao Huan a chance.
But Qiao Huan was not afraid at all, and dealt with the people who wanted to kill her in a hurry.
Also by the way
*ββSubstitution "Heh, I just said that the attitude of the newcomers in the entertainment industry is too bad, and I want Chu Qichen to try out the new movie here, and he will give me a face if he doesn't agree!" Guo Xiuyan took the opportunity to smear Chu Qichen and said: "Such a person is not worthy of mixing in the entertainment industry!" β
Everyone didn't know much about Chu Qichen.
After all, Chu Qichen is just a newcomer, and most of the previous year was studying, and there were few notices.
"Really? But last time, Aunt Guo couldn't force someone else, so she asked me to get out of the way. Qiao Huan applauded: "It turns out that people like Aunt Guo are worthy of staying in the entertainment industry!" β
Guo Xiuyan's face was blue and white, she used to think that Qiao Huan was just a spoiled rich second generation, and she was not afraid of Qiao Huan.
But now, Qiao Huan has faded the makeup that killed Matt, and he has become exquisite, and his momentum is so tall!
Guo Xiuyan refused to admit it: "You don't frame people here!" I haven't seen him before! This is the first time I have seen him! β
"The corridors of Midsummer Lightyear are all equipped with surveillance cameras, does Aunt Guo want to relive the events of the day?" Qiao Huan was wearing seven-centimeter high heels, looked down at Guo Xiuyan and said, "Aunt Guo chased Xiao Chu to the outside of the club that day, which is really distressing." β
Someone in the crowd couldn't help but want to laugh.
After Guo Xiuyan heard the "monitoring", her face was not very good.
"What are you talking about? I didn't get it. "After being in the society for too long, Guo Xiuyan has become a human spirit, and I guessed that Chu Qichen may be protected by Qiao Huan now.
Qiao Fan wouldn't help people like this for no reason.
Seeing that everyone was laughing at her, Guo Xiuyan only put down a cruel sentence: "You wait for me!" β
"Qiao Huan is waiting to drink Aunt Guo's wedding wine!" Qiao Huan said with a smile.
Guo Xiuyan is middle-aged, but she is young and has a high heart and high vision, and she doesn't like it when she picks and chooses, and she has always been single in the end.
is still high-minded now, but the people she fancies, the other party doesn't look down on her.
I have to say that although Guo Xiuyan is not a good person, her vision is quite good.
When others saw Qiao Huan's rescue, they also speculated about the relationship between Qiao Huan and Chu Qichen.
Oh, there's nothing to guess either.
Between men and women, it's nothing more than that, that kind of relationship, hee-hee-hee, everyone understands.
Chu Qichen also had warmth in his heart.
Phantom may just have taken a fancy to his beauty, but now she is willing to risk offending others to free herself.
It shows that Phantom actually likes himself a little.
The corners of Chu Qichen's mouth hooked slightly, and he handed over a glass of watermelon juice, "Drink some juice." β
"Thank you." Qiao Fan took it and said, "I didn't expect that we were attending the same banquet." β
It's a bit embarrassing.
Sun Hong saw that the two finally interacted, and after thinking about it, he still didn't bother the two, and continued to go around with Lin Zhen.
Lin Zhen's eyes were slightly gloomy.
Qiao Huan, the only daughter of a rich family, is fair-skinned and beautiful with long legs, which is exactly what he wants to stammer.
But why is it Chu Qichen's financier?
*
Qiao's father and Xu Zhongyang both saw the scene of Qiao Huan's relief.
"Who's that man?" Father Qiao asked.
"It should be a friend of Little Fantasy." Xu Zhongyang's gentle eyes narrowed slightly.
It seems that Qiao Huan has a favorite person?
"What do you mix with people in the entertainment industry?" Father Qiao frowned and said, "That circle is too chaotic!" β
"Xiao Phantom is still young, it's just that young people make friends." Xu Zhongyang looked at Chu Qichen and just met his gaze.
The four eyes were facing each other, Chu Qichen's eyes were wary and questioning, Xu Zhongyang smiled gently, and his eyes were puzzled.
Could it be that Qiao Huan really likes this person?
Xu Zhongyang is not familiar with the stars in the entertainment industry, and Chu Qichen's fame is too small, let alone Xu Zhongyang, there are few people present who know Chu Qichen at all.
After Chu Qichen met Xu Zhongyang's gaze, the alarm bell sounded in his heart.
He didn't know why he had such a sense of danger.
"It's so boring here, shall we go out for dinner?" Chu Qichen asked.
"Okay, we'll pretend to go to the bathroom later, and then we'll get out." Qiao Fan didn't want to participate in the banquet either.
Too many people, dizziness.
The corners of Chu Qichen's mouth hooked slightly, "Then I'll go to the bathroom first and wait for you outside the door." β
Qiao Fan: "Okay. β
The two of them seemed to have nothing to do with each other, Qiao's father had the heart to ask, but there was too much entertainment, and in the blink of an eye, Qiao Huan was gone.
β¦β¦
"Do you eat Japanese food?" Qiao Huan asked as he drove the car.
"I can't get enough to eat." Chu Qichen said bluntly: "Let's go eat buffet?" β
Qiao Fan: ???
"All right, self-help doesn't fit my image as a noble rich girl!" Qiao Huan said melancholy and the system: "I didn't expect that I would also have idol baggage,"
System: "Just eat some of them, don't worry about what you eat." β
Qiao Fan looked at the shop passing by and said, "Let's eat hot pot." β
System: "I want to eat too." β
Qiao Fan: ......
Parking the car at the intersection, Qiao Huan said: "Is Haidilao okay?" β
"Okay." Chu Qichen and Qiao Huan
