Since Ye Ningxiang escaped death on Lingyun Peak, Mu Jingyuan has never been to Xia Qingqing's palace again, and he has not even sent someone to pass on a word of concern for her.

The best thing a woman in the harem can do is to see the wind and rudder, and see that Concubine Xia, who once dominated the favor, was disgusted by the emperor, not to mention coming to her palace as a guest, even when she saw her, she would pretend not to see her and take a detour next to her.

She, Xia Qingqing, has never been a weak and kind-hearted person, let alone the same as Ye Ningxiang in the previous life, who was obviously depressed in her heart and didn't dare to show it in her heart. So these days, what she did every day was to close the palace door and torture the palace maids in her palace like Mei Zhaoyi, who died tragically.

Anyway, Mu Jingyuan has completely given up on her, even if she kills all the palace maids in Yaohua Palace, he Mu Jingyuan probably won't know anything. Thinking of this, Xia Qingqing's hand with a stick was even heavier, and the wailing of the poor girl under her stick was endless, echoing throughout Yaohua Palace.

The more you think things that won't happen will often happen, and the more you feel that people you will never see again in your life will appear in front of you at a very inopportune time.

When Mu Jingyuan came to Yaohua Palace, he didn't let anyone pass it on, so he happened to encounter Xia Qingqing torturing the poor palace maid. In an instant, his face became extremely disgusting, and even revealed a disgusting expression, and he picked up the palace maid who was lying on the ground and was dying, and his words revealed unprecedented indifference.

"I never thought that Qingqing was such a woman, as the saying goes, beauty is like a snake and scorpion, I didn't believe it originally, but today I really believe it. ”

Then, Mu Jingyuan actually had a cold and piercing smile, and continued: "Don't worry, no matter how much you do it, I will not abolish your concubine position, because your status is the victory of my game with the Empress Dowager and the Manchu Dynasty, but you don't want to take another half step out of Yaohua Palace in your life." ”

After speaking, Mu Jingyuan resolutely left Yaohua Palace with the seriously injured palace maid in his arms, and never looked back at Xia Qingqing again.

Some time ago, the palace people who were persecuted by Xia Qingqing heard the emperor's will, and finally had a feeling of raising their eyebrows, and they all looked at the isolated Xia Qingqing fiercely, and then quickly left her dormitory, followed by the sound of the door of the dormitory locked.

"Open the door, open the door, you brutes!" Xia Qingqing roared as he violently slammed the locked door.

I only heard a little eunuch outside the door say in a feminine voice: "Concubine Xia, we are just acting according to the emperor's will, even if you shout out to the sky, the slaves will not let you out!"

Then, there was a series of laughter outside the door, as if Xia Qingqing was particularly happy to suffer such a punishment.

Although Mu Jingyuan ordered all the palace people to keep their mouths shut about Xia Qingqing's grounding, such a bombshell news still spread quickly with lightning speed. Soon it reached Ye Ningxiang's ears.

For this person who has repeatedly killed himself, Ye Ningxiang naturally has to add fuel to the fire, and embarrass Xia Qingqing. So, she found a sunny noon and took the two little palace ladies to Yaohua Palace to visit Xia Qingqing in a very high-profile manner.

When the palace people of Yaohua Palace saw that it was the Ye Palace people who had been in the limelight recently, they respectfully opened the way and opened the door of the room where Xia Qingqing was imprisoned.

At this time, Xia Qingqing was wearing her hair scattered, her face was haggard, and she was standing in front of the locked window in single clothes, as if she was eager to enter the outside world.

"Concubine Xia, long time no see!" Ye Ningxiang smiled, but that smile revealed a strong sense of contempt.

Xia Qingqing turned her head, her originally distracted eyes were full of anger and hatred the moment she saw Ye Ningxiang, just like a ferocious cheetah that wanted to swallow Ye Ningxiang immediately.

"Concubine Xia, what kind of scenery are you admiring?" Ye Ningxiang's smile was even stronger, and while walking to Xia Qingqing's side, she said with the posture of a superior person: "Sometimes, the scenery in this palace can only be appreciated and savored by closing the palace gate, do you say that I am right?"

"Ye Ningxiang, don't be too complacent, who will have the last laugh is still uncertain, the emperor is the most ruthless, and it won't be long before you will fall into a situation like mine." ”

"I'm me, you're you, and even if I'm not the one who has the last laugh, I'll never fall into your situation. ”

Ye Ningxiang slapped her head suddenly, pretending to suddenly remember something and continued: "Oh, by the way, look at my memory, I almost forgot about it." Xia Concubine Niangniang, five days later is the canonization ceremony of the slave maid, because you can not participate in this canonization ceremony, today the slave maid is here to give you some wedding gifts, in order to show the grace of the slave and maid's care. ”

When it came to the word "care", Ye Ningxiang deliberately accentuated her tone, and her voice was lowered, and a strong sense of oppression condensed in the air, which made Xia Qingqing's heart burn with strong unease.

It is true that not every woman who appears next to Mu Xize is as weak and bullying as Su Huang, Xia Qingqing clenched her hands tightly, although she was extremely unwilling in her heart, she was helpless, and finally responded coldly: "The kindness of the people of the Ye Palace, this palace understands it, if there is nothing to do, after giving the gift, you can go back!"

"Okay, that incense won't bother you enjoying the scenery here. After speaking, Ye Ningxiang blessed her body slightly and withdrew from Yaohua Palace, but there was always a trace of evil smile on the corner of her mouth.

Then, the gate of Xia Qingqing's palace was locked again, and Yaohua Palace returned to calm.

Seeing Xia Qingqing's angry but helpless expression, Ye Ningxiang felt happy in her heart, and felt a kind of happiness in her heart that she hadn't had for many years.

If a person is unlucky, he will stuff his teeth when he drinks cold water, but if he is lucky, even if he accidentally steps on dog poop on the side of the road, the shit is fragrant. Ye Ningxiang was quite lucky this day, first she ruthlessly vented the evil anger in her heart, and then when she returned to Zhaoyang Palace, she saw Wei Xun, who she hadn't seen for more than 20 days.

Probably because he had just been released from the heavenly prison by Mu Jingyuan, Wei Xun looked a little haggard, and his cheeks were a little sunken. obviously looked tired, but the moment he saw Ye Ningxiang, Wei Xun seemed to be a different person, and he was immediately energetic, and his eyes were full of golden light.

"Ning Xiang!" Wei Xun shouted Ye Ning Xiang's name with a smile, and at the same time quickly rushed to her.

"Brother Wei. Ye Ningxiang also responded with a smile, seeing that Wei Xun was safe and sound now, the heart that had always felt guilty finally became smooth.

At this time, Ye Ningxiang noticed that the official uniform on Wei Xun's body had changed, and the official uniform he was wearing at this time was clearly the same as the Dali Siqing who had interrogated him by torture before, and after a careful observation, Ye Ningxiang opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Wei, are you promoted?"

Wei Xun didn't smile at all, and his words were even a little cold, "Well, the emperor casually found a crime and sentenced the original Dali Temple Qing to death, and just beheaded him on the Soul Breaking Platform yesterday." Because the position of Dali Siqing was vacant, I temporarily replaced him. ”

After speaking, Wei Xun sighed, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped, and finally said what he thought in front of Ye Ningxiang.

"Dali Siqing's character is indeed worse, but he has been conscientious in his work over the years, although he is guilty, his sin is not to death. ”

Speaking of this, Wei Xun suddenly stopped and changed the topic, "I heard that the emperor is going to prepare a canonization ceremony for you in five days, and no one else has ever had such an honor except for the queen, I am really happy for you." ”

Although Wei Xun said this with a smile, Ye Ningxiang's sixth sense felt that his smile was not sincere, and even felt extremely sad because she was going to be made a concubine.

And although his previous words stopped in time, she Ye Ningxiang also understood what he meant. This Wei Xun is blaming himself for exaggerating the crimes of Dali Siqing, causing a person who is not guilty to death to report to the underworld in advance.

Hearing that Dali Siqing was beheaded, Ye Ningxiang was also shocked in her heart, and even felt a little guilty, but if she hadn't exaggerated Dali Siqing's crime as much as possible at that time, how could Mu Jingyuan let Wei Xun go so freely, in the end, she indirectly killed one life to save another life, but this harm should really be blamed.

After learning that Dali Siqing was beheaded, Ye Ningxiang became more and more uneasy and guilty, and she didn't say anything too much to Wei Xun and casually found a reason to go back to the room.

Ye Ningxiang could see that the entire palace had a lot of complaints about this canonization ceremony that seemed to be contrary to the rules of the royal family, but it was because the emperor favored her, so these palace people had to keep their heads shut and dare not show the slightest dissatisfaction.

Therefore, when Ye Ningxiang was not present, the palace people in charge of the canonization ceremony always had gloomy faces, and even scolded in their mouths, but when Ye Ningxiang was present, these palace people pretended to be happy and smiling.

She, Ye Ningxiang, is not a fool, she sees everything in this palace, so in order to make these resentful palace people feel more comfortable on weekdays, she simply stuffed herself in the room on the grounds of recuperating from her injuries.

After being encircled in the house for two days, Ye Ningxiang was very bored, and finally sneaked out of Zhaoyang Hall in the dead of night on the third night.

On a spring day, the evening breeze is gentle, blowing crispy and itchy on the face, and even with the fragrance of flowers. Ye Ningxiang relaxed her mind, opened her arms, and breathed in the sweet air.

At such a tranquil moment, Ye Ningxiang should have thought about nothing, but her brain still willfully did not obey the call and kept thinking about things.

There are only two days left after this day, and two days later, she will really be Mu Jingyuan's woman, or she will really become Mu Jingyuan's pillow person. Obviously, it's not the first time to get married, and obviously she doesn't love Mu Jingyuan, but Ye Ningxiang still can't help but be nervous, and can't help but imagine what will happen after she becomes the person next to Mu Jingyuan's pillow.

and Mu Xize, after she marries Mu Jingyuan, will Mu Xize be heartbroken or even dead. She knew very well that she couldn't kill Mu Xize anymore, but if he could really be so heartbroken that she married someone else, her marriage full of conspiracy would be worth it.

As she thought, a figure suddenly flashed behind her, and by the time she realized the other person's presence, he was already standing behind her almost as close as hers.

"Who?" Ye Ningxiang asked vigilantly as she threw a punch at the other party with her back hand. However, that punch was caught by the other party quickly and accurately, and only then did she realize that this person who was almost drowned in the dark night was actually Xiao Qingyu, who had carefully cultivated her for many years, and she had just broken with it.
