The imperial concubine is charming and coquettish, she crazily criticizes the tyrant for spoiling he

Chapter 16
...

Qi Mingyue was ill for two days, and even Jin Chen didn't come to see her.

When Qi Rongyu came over, the servant girl stood outside the door tremblingly, seeing Qi Rongyu hurriedly saluted: "I have seen the second son."

"How is Mingyue? Is it better?"

He came back from a busy day and hadn't visited Qi Mingyue today.

"Miss locked herself in her room all day today, didn't see anyone, refused to take medicine or food, and refused to tell Madam." The servant girl knelt on the ground in fright.

Qi Rongyu's face was ugly, and he knocked on the door,

"Mingyue, it's me, second brother."

After getting a response, Qi Rongyu opened the door and went in, walked into the inner room, and saw a pale Qi Mingyue, with red and swollen eyes, it was obvious that she had just cried.

Qi Rongyu hurried over, glanced at the medicine beside him: "Prince Chen has been busy with the assassin's work these two days, and really can't spare time, don't waste your body."

"Second brother, is Brother Chen angry with me? He must be angry with me, that's why he doesn't want to come to see me. He's blaming me, blaming me for surviving, and causing my sister..."

Qi Mingyue grabbed Qi Rongyu's sleeve, tears fell down one by one.

"Mingyue!"

Qi Rongyu interrupted her, "Don't think about it, you are the only one in King Chen's heart! If he really betrays you, Mingyue, you are the daughter of our Duke's mansion, and Yujing is full of young talents."

Qi Mingyue cried and shook her head: "Second Brother, I can't live without him, I really can't live..."

Qi Rongyu looked at her like this, frowned, and comforted him: "Do you know about the grand event in the empty valley? Qiyue Temple will hold the grand event in the empty valley tomorrow. Take your majesty's pet to go to the beast fight."

"Beast fighting? How come?" Qi Mingyue asked in disbelief.

Qi Rongyu's face was solemn: "You don't know, there is a strange beast garden in your majesty's palace, which raises many rare and exotic beasts, many of which are fierce. His favorite is the white tiger named Mie Shen, who used to bring it with him when he went to court. , if someone dares to disobey him and make him unhappy, the neck of the lucky one will be bitten off, and the bad one will be taken to the strange beast garden, where they will fight with the beasts with a stick of incense as a limit. With a broken arm and a leg, in the past few years, he seems to have lost interest, so he restrained himself a little."

"It's just that I didn't expect that when Dongqin, a princess with relatives, came to Beijing, he probably thought it was fun, and asked Qiyueguan to reopen the grand festival in the empty valley for her, just for the beast fighting."

Qi Rongyu didn't notice the panic on Qi Mingyue's face, but caught a glimpse of her shaking hands grabbing his sleeve, "What's wrong?"

"Lan'er, Lan'er was, was, was bitten off her neck, that person, her, her..." Qi Mingyue's voice trembled unbearably, as if remembering something extremely frightening.

Qi Rongyu hurriedly patted her on the back: "Relax, don't be afraid, you don't have to worry too much about that imperial concubine, what happened that day was just a coincidence, the only daughter of the regent of the East Qin Dynasty, she has a brain disease since she was a child, she is a lunatic, and her actions are not what ordinary people can do." I understand. Don't worry, this is Yujing, no matter how messy she is, she won't really ignore it, she's here to make a kiss, if her behavior is too absurd, she won't be tolerated here."

"But that beggar...Second brother, what should I do? Tomorrow, tomorrow, can you take me there? If, if brother Chen knew that I was engaged, he would not marry me, right? Second brother, help me Help me, I can't lose Brother Chen..." Qi Mingyue looked at Qi Rongyu pleadingly.

Qi Rongyu looked at her pale face, and picked up the medicine bowl beside her: "Drink the medicine obediently, and take care of your health before I can take you there."

"Okay, I'll drink it." Qi Mingyue picked up the medicine bowl and frowned as if she was afraid that Qi Rongyu would not agree, and drank the medicine in the medicine bowl.

Seeing that she had taken the medicine, Qi Rongyu felt relieved, "You should have a good rest, and I will pick you up tomorrow morning."

"Thank you, Second Brother." Qi Mingyue finally had a smile on his face.

When Qi Rongyu left, the smile on Qi Mingyue's face disappeared completely, grabbed the empty medicine bowl, smashed it on the ground, and the servant girl hurried in to clean it up.

Qi Mingyue waved at the maid, "Are you new here? What's your name?"

"My servant, my servant's name is Wan'er, and I used to do rough work in the yard." Wan'er replied.

"Wan'er? Which one is late? Is it late at night?" Qi Mingyue's voice was delicate and soft, but there was a coolness that made one's scalp tingle.

"No, no, it's gentle Wan."

"Come here." Qi Mingyue looked at her.

Wan'er hastily knelt down beside the bed.

Qi Mingyue reached out and grabbed her arm.

"Miss!" Wan'er looked at her in panic.

Qi Mingyue rolled up her sleeves, grabbed the tiles on the ground, and scratched forcefully on her wrist, blood gushed out instantly, Qi Mingyue took the empty bowl by the bed without changing expression, and squeezed Wan'er's hand , dripping blood into the bowl.

"Ah——" Wan'er cried out in pain, and kept begging for mercy: "Miss, please forgive me, Miss, please forgive me..."

"I don't like the word Wan, not any Wan, so I changed my name when I went back, you know?" Qi Mingyue said softly.

"I know, I know, the servant knows..."

Qi Mingyue pinched her wrist, waited until the whole bowl was covered with blood, and then let her go, "Clean up this place."

Wan'er's face was pale, and she tremblingly picked up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground.

She has just entered the mansion in the past two years, and the people who entered the mansion together envied her for entering Miss Seven's yard, saying that Miss Seven is the most gentle and amiable, treating everyone well, serving by her side, and living a better life than the ladies outside Still comfortable.

When she was serving in the yard before, she often heard the sound of porcelain bowls being thrown in Miss Seven's room. She thought it was just Miss Seven who didn't like to drink medicine.

It turned out that it wasn't that she didn't like to drink medicine, but that she didn't drink medicine, she drank blood.

……

The Empty Valley Festival was held once a year ago, and it was a rare event in Yujing City. Even the common people who couldn't enter Qiyue Temple would play in the street under Qiyue Temple mountain that day, and it was very lively.

But since three years ago, Qiyue Temple has never held an empty valley event. I heard that the orchids in Qiyue Temple withered overnight, and there were no flowers to admire, so naturally there was no grand event.

Now that it is heard that Qiyue Temple is going to re-hold the empty valley event, the entire Yujing people are very excited when they get the news.

Especially hearing that the emperor's newly married imperial concubine will visit Qiyue Temple in person, which has aroused the curiosity of countless people.

Early in the morning, the road to Qiyue Temple was completely blocked. If there were no officers and soldiers who came to maintain order temporarily, the whole road would be difficult to move.

Qi Mingyue followed Qi Rongyu to Qiyue Temple, and Xie Ziling, the cousin of Qi's mansion, was also with him. He is a scholar and has always been very elegant. When he learned that the empty valley grand meeting was going to be held, he came to Qi Guogong's mansion early in the morning and invited Qi Mingyue to accompany him.

The three of them set off early in the morning, but because there were too many cars and horses on the road, it was almost noon when they arrived at Qiyue Temple.

Qi Mingyue saw Lian Jinchen who was talking to the priest of Qiyue Temple at a glance.

"Brother Chen," Qi Mingyue walked over in surprise, but she didn't know what to think of, she stopped again, and looked at Lian Jinchen with a pale face.

Lian Jinchen noticed her gaze, walked over, remembered that she seemed to be in poor health for the past two days, and asked, "Why are you here? It's not that you were frightened, why don't you rest at home?"

The surprise in Qi Mingyue's eyes faded in an instant, she bit her lips and looked at Lian Jinchen with hazy eyes.

Lian Jinchen's brows tightened, he stretched out his hand to hold her shoulder, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I've been busy with the assassin these two days, so I couldn't see you. There are so many people today, I'm afraid they might bump into you , I was in a hurry to speak, so don't take it to heart."

Hearing his words, Qi Mingyue's face finally softened a little, and she stretched out her hand to grab his cuff, her fingers were still wrapped in white gauze, as if she didn't dare to use force, "I've only heard of the empty valley festival before, and I've never been here before, so I begged Second brother and cousin brought me here, why is brother Chen here?"

"I'm in charge of public security in the capital. There are a lot of people here today, so I came here to watch for fear of any accidents." Lian Jinchen explained a few words, looked up and saw Qi Rongyu and Xie Ziling, and said to her: "The king asked someone to take you Go to have lunch, enjoy the flowers in the Lanyuan next to you, follow your second brother and don't wander around."

"I see." Qi Mingyue blushed, and lightly hooked Goulian Jinchen's finger with her fingertips.

Lian Jinchen glanced down and held her finger.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the distance.

Discussions sounded one after another, but they were extremely restrained and did not dare to amplify their voices.

Qi Mingyue and Lian Jinchen looked up, only to see that the crowded crowd automatically parted to make way.

In the middle of the road, a well-dressed girl in red accompanied a two-meter-long white tiger, walking step by step on the steps.
