If you don’t cherish the love we wear quickly, why are you crying if you change your mind?

Chapter 450: The Abstinent Prime Minister vs. the Divorced Queen (15)

Jiang Miao entered Ningxiang Hall and saw a field of wintersweets. She walked a few steps under the plum tree with great interest and was not in a hurry to enter the main hall to see Xu Yunqi.

As soon as she came in, Liu Feng, the secret guard sent by Chen Shaoyuan to Xu Yunqi, noticed her, but he did not act rashly. Instead, he hid in the dark. If the queen did anything bad to Concubine Xu, he would stand up to protect Concubine Xu.

Before Jiang Miao entered the main hall, he heard the cheerful voices of men and women talking.

She was quite familiar with that male voice. To be more precise, it was the original owner who was familiar with it, since they were playmates who grew up together after all.

Huo Changling is actually here, but it’s not surprising, because he is the infatuated second male lead. For Xu Yunqi, he cooperated with Chen Shaoyuan to destroy the Jiang family.

White wolf eyes!
Xu Yunqi heard footsteps, turned around and saw Jiang Miao holding up the plum branch above his head and walking towards them.

Her breathing hitched and she was on the defensive.

As a general, Huo Changling naturally saw Jiang Miao earlier than Xu Yunqiu.

The moment he saw Jiang Miao, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

She seemed to have become more beautiful than before, and her bright eyes were like the brightest stars in the sky.

Jiang Miao did not miss Huo Changling's expression. He walked over and said with a smile, "General Huo, I didn't expect to meet you here."

"Your humble servant greets Her Majesty the Queen." Huo Changling immediately saluted.

Xu Yunqi stood aside in a daze, not even bothering to greet the Queen. She got angry when she thought about the fact that the Emperor had not come to Ningxiang Palace recently. It must be this woman's doing!
Jiang Miao glanced at Xu Yunqi and said, "Oh, so you live here."

The original owner had met Xu Yunqi when Chen Shaoyuan was still a prince. At that time, she only thought that Xu Yunqi was a maid beside Chen Shaoyuan. She didn't expect that it was true love, which was hidden so well.

Xu Yunqiu felt despised by her and felt very uncomfortable. Jiang Miao didn't even have a mother's family now, so why should she bow down and scrape to such a woman?

I am no longer a little maid in the palace!

The maid Bihe quickly reminded Xu Yunqi, "Greetings to the Queen, the master will live here after entering the palace."

Jiang Miao took off the gorgeous red hairpin on her head, and then took off the Nine Dragons Playing with Pearls bracelet in her hand and put it in Xu Yunqi's hand, and said with a smile: "Sister Xu, please accept this small gift."

"You are the emperor's concubine, why are you dressed so plainly? This palace is too remote. Go to the Japanese palace and ask His Majesty to change it to a bigger palace. Don't let me down. After all, I have been accompanying His Majesty in the palace."

Xu Yunqi felt very aggrieved holding the red hairpin bracelet. She looked at Huo Changling, "Brother Changling."

For some reason, Huo Changling lowered his head in front of Jiang Miao with a guilty conscience. "Xu Jieyu, the things you asked me to bring from outside the palace have been delivered. I will take my leave now."

Seeing him trying to flee, Jiang Miao stopped him, "General Huo, I'm about to go back to Weiyang Palace, please see me off."

Xu Yunqi felt even more aggrieved after hearing this. It was not that she did not know about the relationship between Huo Changling and Jiang Miao. She also heard that the Jiang family originally intended to let Huo Changling marry Jiang Miao. After all, they knew each other well. But didn't Brother Changling like her more? !

Although I entered the harem and became the emperor's concubine, Brother Changling didn't mind.
"Wei Chen takes orders."

Xu Yunqi looked at their receding backs and couldn't help but clutch her handkerchief, with a dark look in her eyes.

However, the maid Bihe beside her smiled brightly, "My master, the red hairpin and bracelet given to you by the queen are too valuable. The queen is such a kind person. She even asked His Majesty to change a bigger palace for you."

Xu Yunqi threw the red hairpin bracelet on the dressing table, feeling extremely sad.

She is His Majesty's most beloved concubine, why does she have to live in such a small place? She can't even afford a decent headgear, so why does the Queen have the best food, clothing and other necessities!

"I don't want her charity!"

Bihe choked and knew that her master was angry and didn't dare to say more.

Instead, Xu Yunqi asked her, "Bihe, do you think His Majesty loves me the most?"

"Your Majesty naturally loves the Master." Bi He said quickly, "Your Majesty used to spend the night in Ningxiang Palace every day."

Xu Yunqi's face suddenly darkened. "But he hasn't been here for several days. Those people also said that His Majesty favors the Queen the most. Not only does he stay in the Queen's palace, but he also keeps giving her rewards!"

And what about Ningxiang Palace? Not even a single reward! The more Xu Yunqi thought about it, the sadder she became.

After leaving Ningxiang Palace, Jiang Miao asked Zhiqiao and Zhiqing to keep a distance, and she moved closer to Huo Changling.

There was a hint of sadness in her eyes, "You've become quite distant from me."

Huo Changling turned slightly to look at her face.

She is so beautiful, just like the bright moon in the sky, and one glance at her can easily make people fall in love with her.

"Your Majesty, I misunderstood."

Jiang Miao chuckled, a little sadly, "Brother Chang Ling, if we hadn't met by chance today, you would have almost forgotten me."

Huo Changling's whole body was stiff. He hadn't heard her call him Brother Changling for a long time.

Ever since she fell in love with the emperor, she has become increasingly distant from me. I always thought that she only treated me as a brother.

The memories of the past in the General's Mansion came back to him instantly. Huo Changling's face froze, and it felt like something was stuck in his throat, making it difficult for him to speak.

"I haven't forgotten, don't think too much."

Jiang Miao sneered in his heart. How could he dare to forget? How could he sleep peacefully at night? Would the wronged ghosts in the general's mansion come after him?

As the adopted son of the Jiang family, he joined forces with the emperor to destroy the Jiang family in exchange for wealth and glory. This scumbag must not die well.

She wouldn't let him die so easily.

Doesn't he like Xu Yunqi? Just wait and see.

"I didn't think much about it. It's just that after my parents passed away, during the most difficult time for me, you never came to see me once. Why is that?"

Huo Changling's face turned pale. He had never thought that one day Jiang Miao would question him in person.

Seeing her red eyes, Huo Changling opened his mouth but couldn't say anything in the end.

He had his own difficulties. It was a fact that his adoptive father was collaborating with the enemy and selling out his country. If he did not expose it himself, he would be regarded as an accomplice and be implicated.

He could save his worthless life and serve the emperor, and also save Xiao Miao. But how could he say this?
Jiang Miao saw that he looked guilty, which was exactly what she wanted.

It was good to feel guilty, she had to make good use of it.

Huo Changling took a deep breath. Now that he had developed feelings for other women, there was no possibility for him to be with Xiao Miao anymore.

"Xiao Miao, I'm sorry."

Jiang Miao asked, "Brother Chang Ling, I know your difficulties, but His Majesty killed my parents, and I hate him. If you still remember the friendship between us, would you bear to let me stay by His Majesty's side every day?"

"How about you take me out of the palace?"

Huo Changling lowered his head.

He could do nothing. Facing Jiang Miao's accusations, his body and mind felt numb and tormented.

The corners of Jiang Miao's lips curled up slightly, and he suddenly smiled.

"Let bygones be bygones."

"By the way, why are you in Ningxiang Palace?"

Huo Changling's eyes flickered, "I have some connections with Concubine Zhao outside the palace."

When he thought of Xu Yunqi, his brows softened.

She was an extremely kind woman. Before he was adopted by the Jiang family, Xu Yunqi had given him a meal.
