The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 677
"Shall we go?" Qingchen slowly let go of Yinyu's hand, and just when she was about to give up, she suddenly heard a shout, "Let her go! Yinyu, you dare to hurt Concubine Chen, Don't you want to live?"

Xiao Jue hurried upstairs with Yun Lan, startled Concubine Li turned around and almost fell, Concubine Li quickly blocked Xiao Jue's way, the corridor was narrow, Yun Lan was blocked behind them, she was at a loss what to do.

Concubine Li pulled Xiao Jue's sleeve tightly, and said threateningly: "Are you going to save her at this time? If you save her, then our mother and child will die. You can choose!"

Xiao Jue looked at her angrily, gritted her teeth, and said bitterly: "You are no longer the Wanyi I like, Wanyi died in the fire that year, and the one who survived was a person who didn't know right from wrong, who was not greedy. It's just a devil, let me go!"

Yin Yu tried her best to fight for the last time, but Xiao Jue threw her away from Concubine Li, strode forward and kicked her hard in the chest, kicked her flying, hit the railing with a bang, and hit her hard He spat out a mouthful of blood.

Xiao Jue picked up Qing Chen, who was about to pass out, and shook her vigorously, her anxious voice trembling, "Chen'er, how are you? Wake up, don't scare me."

The neck was loosened suddenly, and the air was quickly poured into the mouth like water. It was the breath of the proud continuation of life, which made her cough violently.

Yun Lan quickly came over, patted her on the back lightly, and wanted to cry with tears in her anxious eyes, "Mother, how are you? It's all about the servant girl's fault, the servant girl came back late!"

Qingchen panted heavily, being able to breathe the warm and sweet air again, it really felt like being reborn, "No, it's not in the way, cough cough, you won't die, don't be afraid."

Concubine Li leaned against the railing trembling, she didn't know whether she was afraid or out of breath, she was trembling all over, looking at Xiao Jue with stern eyes, she murmured to herself: "It was you who failed me first, so don't blame me for being cruel. "

Xiao Jue picked up Qing Chen and said softly: "Chen'er, I will take you back to the palace."

Passing by Concubine Li ignoringly, Xiao Jue didn't stop, and didn't even want to look at her again. Such a cold attitude almost drove Concubine Li crazy. She shouted hysterically behind him: "Xiao Jue, you Are you crazy, she is the emperor's concubine, do you dare to touch her for your life? Are you really disregarding the life and death of our mother and child?"

"It's not that I don't care about your life, it's that you are looking for death, no one else is to blame." Xiao Jue left these words coldly, and walked out of Lingyin Pavilion with Qingchen in her arms.

Concubine Li watched her leave, slammed the guardrail in front of her like crazy, and cried loudly: "Xiao Jue, you bastard, even you betrayed me, even you are so ruthless, Ben Gong If I hate you, I will definitely make you pay the price, ah..."

A sharp and frantic cry sounded in Lingyin Pavilion, Qingchen looked back, only to see Concubine Li waving her sleeves like crazy on the attic.

Halfway through the walk, she felt that she had recovered a lot, so she said softly: "Your Highness, please let me down, it's not right for people to see."

Xiao Jue looked at the five clear bruised handprints on her neck, feeling very distressed, and knew that people would inevitably spread gossip if they saw her like this, so she put her under a cherry blossom tree and asked Yun Lan to pass on the soft sedan chair. .

Qingchen coughed a few times, her throat was congested and painful as soon as she coughed, but she still asked him with a hoarse voice, "Why did your Highness come to Lingyin Pavilion?"

Xiao Jue looked at her with pity, there were too many right and wrong in the harem, he really felt sorry for her, "Did you lose a pair of bracelets?"

Qingchen asked in surprise: "How does Your Highness know? I did lose a pair of bracelets during a banquet in the Imperial Garden that day, but I haven't found them so far. Could it be that Your Highness has seen my pair of bracelets?"

Hearing her question, Xiao Jue knew that she probably didn't know anything about the Queen's Palace, so she said, "Just now I went to the Queen's Palace to pay my respects, and I saw a little palace maid having an affair with the Queen, so I'll listen more when I catch up with you." In a word, she said that you gave her the bracelet. I also heard a little about Lin Guiyi's almost miscarriage at the banquet in the Imperial Garden that day. I thought it was not a good thing, so I wanted to inform you, and I wanted you to be prepared. Thinking of Yunlan saying that you came to Lingyin Pavilion, I came here with her, I didn't expect to encounter such a thing."

Qingchen thought for a while and said with a helpless smile: "The matter of Lin Guiyi had already been clarified that day and had nothing to do with me. Unexpectedly, there were still people who refused to let me go. His Highness is like the savior in my life. Whenever I am in trouble, Sometimes, you will always appear by my side, I have said too many words of gratitude, but I don’t know what to say at this moment.”

Xiao Jue seemed ashamed, and after a long silence, he said: "Chen'er, I have an unfeeling request, I hope you can agree to it. I know this matter must be very embarrassing for you, or feel very unfair, But I only beg you this time, no matter what happens from now on, I will never interfere with Concubine Li's affairs again."

Qing Chen lowered his eyes and said: "Does Your Highness mean to let me let Concubine Li go this time?"

Xiao Jue knelt down, held her hand tightly, and said very ashamedly: "Chen'er, I have no choice but to plead for her, I... I did something wrong, I'm sorry for her, but the child in her womb It's innocent... Just treat it as I owe you, can you let her go this time?"

Qing Chen's pain felt like being cut by a knife, not because of how Concubine Li treated her, but because of Xiao Jue's dilemma. She just felt sorry for his worthlessness.Besides, the reason why he protects Concubine Li like this is because Concubine Li pretends to be her identity. All Xiao Jue's pain is in the final analysis caused by his inability to forget her feelings for her, but she has never been able to confide the truth to him. It's hard to get out of concubine Li's swamp, and I'm really sorry for him. Now that Xiao Jue has made such a request, how can she refuse?

Qingchen forced a smile, and said softly: "Your Highness, you don't owe me anything, I'm the one who is sorry for His Highness, since you are the one who pleaded for her, I have nothing to wrong, this time it's just for His Highness's sake. It's just that Now that His Highness already knows that Concubine Li is no longer the Xie Wanyi she was back then, can you let her go?"

She couldn't tell him that she was Xie Wanyi because she knew that Xiao Jue had feelings for her, and if he found out her true identity again, he would be even more unable to extricate himself, which would not do him any good.If after this incident, Xiao Jue can completely get out of Xie Wanyi's quagmire, then he will be relieved, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Xiao Jue was in great pain, he couldn't let Concubine Li go, it was because of the child in her womb, but he had no face to tell Qingchen who this child belonged to.
