There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 162 Is Lonely Fierce?

"Empress, servant... I don't know!"

Qiaoyuan carefully supported the queen, with a timid tone.

She really didn't know what happened here, but the large number of slaves dealt with by the Punishment Department a few days ago and the faint smell of blood in the air were enough to scare her, a mere little maid.

"What about the people here? Where have they all gone?"

The heavily guarded Fengyang Palace, the empty inner room, and the formerly bustling hall became as quiet as death, making the queen gradually lose her mind.

"Where are the others?" She tried her best to hold on to Qiao Yuan's collar, her eyes were full of fierceness like a female beast.

"I'm going to ask you something!"

"Slave...Slave really doesn't know!" Qiao Yuan knelt on the ground pale with fright, trembling all over.

The queen couldn't find out what to ask, and she was even more frightened.

This kind of fear is not the fear of something, but the fear of the unknown and ignorance. The unknown is not knowing what will happen next, and the ignorance is that she has no idea what has happened.

She doesn't know anything. Now, she can't say that she can't leave. What's the difference between her and a useless person?
"You get up first!"

After all, after decades of ups and downs in the harem, the empress finally used up her last ounce of reason to force herself to calm down.

She slowly turned around and half sat and half lay on the soft couch, rubbed her painful head with her hands, and spoke softly.

"You don't have to be afraid. Since you are the only person around me now, you must be my man through and through. If Bengong finds out that you have even the slightest betrayal!"

Her eyes suddenly became sharp, and she stared straight at Qiao Yuan, and the handkerchief in her hand was trampled to pieces.

"Although Bengong is in trouble, it is more than enough to crush an ant to death. For Bengong, not only you, but your whole family and nine clans are all ants!"

"Empress, please forgive me, this servant will know everything!" Qiao Yuan knelt down again with a pale face, obviously frightened.

"Get up!" The queen was very satisfied and waved her hand lightly.

"Okay, now tell me what happened in the palace. If you don't know, then tell me everything you know. Don't miss any news!"

Seeing that the little maid was very upbeat, the queen's tone softened.

But then, she found that she was happy too early, this little maid really didn't know anything.

Because before this, she was still learning the rules in the Shang Palace Bureau. The Shang Palace Bureau never cared about the affairs of the inner palace, and she was a group of maids who entered the palace recently, so she had to learn the rules before being assigned to each palace.

Therefore, this little maid is really just a servant girl.

The queen interrogated for a long time and only asked about the hardships of the little maid in her hometown, how she went to the capital alone to visit her relatives, and how she came to the palace to be a maid in desperation, etc. The bitter history of these little common people.

She was so angry that her face turned green, and she dropped the teacup with a bang.

"Xia Houjue, you are ruthless!"

……

In Yuqing Palace.

Xia Houjue is in a good mood recently, but it's not appropriate to make it public.

Except for going to the Jinhua Hall every day to care about the emperor's father's condition, he didn't go out for the rest of the time.

Just reading and writing at home every day, occasionally practicing swords, etc., can be considered leisurely.

Of course, what he did most was to stay in Chaoluan Hall, thinking about how to please his eldest wife.

In truth, he really thought he was sick, or crazy.

Think about the past 20 years, when did he worry about women.

The father's unfeeling towards the mother and the empress' mother and son making things difficult for him made him no longer have any illusions about this cold royal family.

Not to mention any women, most of the various women and even court ladies around him since he was a child came from the queen.

They flattered him and approached him, with various motives behind them, but none of them was sincere, not even a little bit.

It's a pity that at that time, I was really not full-fledged, unable to compete with the queen, so I could only endure it.

He will not abuse those women, let alone divorce them, he can only pretend to be flirtatious, take them in one by one, and leave them behind one by one, finding a quiet place to keep them all in captivity.

If you are happy, you can pull it out and have fun, if you are not happy, just leave it behind and never care about it.

He chose the Meng family himself, because the Meng family had nothing to do with the queen's mother's Qin family, so he expected that the Meng family would not belong to the queen.

In addition, Meng Shi has always been famous outside, and occasionally met at the palace banquet, he has a good impression, he thought that she would be different.

I didn't expect that everyone in the palace looked the same. Like all women, she formed cliques, played tricks, played tricks, and tried her best.

Her every move is virtuous and courteous, her frown and smile are perfect, but everything she does has a purpose, and every word she says has a scheming heart.

He was tired, and never wanted to look at it again.

On the contrary, it was the woman in front of him whom the emperor forcibly thrust into him. She was completely different.

I can't say why it's different, but it's different anyway.

What's even more strange is that, even though he hates her so much, why are these damn legs disobedient, wanting to see her as soon as he returns to the palace, wanting to see her as soon as he returns to the palace, thinking about it every time.

So in summary, Xia Houjue felt that he was really sick.

"No, no, it's wrong to make four consecutive gestures, keep your arms away!" Xia Houjue was like a strict teacher, teaching his students how to practice arrows.

"Oh!" Tang Wanning hastily corrected.

"There are also eyes, you should stare at the bull's-eye, don't look around!"

"Oh!"

"And..." He kept pointing out various mistakes.

In just one stick of incense, he had already counted her from top to bottom.

"Hello!" Tang Waning's small universe erupted.

"Will you know how to teach? How can you be like this? Xia Houjing never said such a thing when he was teaching me before. Did you deliberately hit me?!" Tang Wanning stared angrily, her chest heaving up and down with anger.

"Do you dislike me or do you dislike my practice of arrows?!"

"No more practice, no more practice, I won't let you teach me, I'll go find Xia Houjing another day!"

Tang Wan puffed up and stuffed the bow and arrow beside him, and left with big strides.

"..."

Looking at the back of Tang Wanning leaving, Xia Houjue touched his nose, unable to speak a word.

Are you really that strict?
"Li Dequan?"

"The slave is here!" Li Dequan knelt beside Xia Houjue, his back stiffened.

"Is Gu very fierce?" Xia Houjue asked him solemnly, throwing the bow and arrow in his hand to the people around him.

"No! The slave thinks that His Royal Highness is not fierce at all." Li Dequan replied ignorant of his conscience.

Xia Houjue folded his arms and pondered for a while, then nodded expressionlessly.

"Gu also thinks that she is not fierce, but she... just go back to Chongming Palace!"

"Yes!"

Li Dequan got up and hurried away after Xia Houjue.

The garden, which was bustling just now, quickly returned to tranquility.
