cold palace escape concubine

Chapter 158 The Return of the Chess Noble

Facing Concubine Huangui's eyes, the nobleman Qi smiled neither humble nor overbearing.

"Unable to obtain the Sacred Heart is not something I can grasp, but I also remember a truth." The chess nobleman smiled and met Huangui's gaze, and mocked without fear: "But Huangui may be because You are too sacred to memorize the words of the emperor and empress like us, be cautious in your words and deeds, and don't chew your tongue to speculate on the holy meaning."

Mu Xiyuan got tired of watching good shows, and it was rare for someone to yell at Concubine Huangui, so she was naturally more protective, and she only spoke before Concubine Huangui questioned him to avoid the embarrassment of the chess nobleman.

"Okay, I've taken all these little thoughts for me." Mu Xiyuan glanced at everyone with displeasure, and then spoke for the nobleman.

"I don't know how many times I have told you to be cautious in your words and deeds. Usually, a little complaint on this side of the palace is just going in and out of the sisters' ears. Now you are doing well, people who remember what I said Instead, you’ve become a different kind, haven’t you?” Mu Xiyuan looked at Concubine Huangui, “Concubine Huangui must know how to lead by example now that she is in charge of the harem, otherwise you will lose not only your own face, but also the praise given to you by the emperor and this palace. .”

Concubine Huangui was furious in her heart, but she had to suppress her anger and respectfully obey. She had to tightly hide her hands in her sleeves and make a fist, but she broke her nails abruptly because of the excessive force.

She had just assisted the harem, and the empress and the chess nobles didn't give her face in this way. This embarrassment made her feel even more the seeds of revenge.

Mu Xiyuan told everyone a few words, and then told everyone to leave.

After walking out of Yingfeng Palace, nobleman Qi was naturally ridiculed by Concubine Huangui and nobleman Sheng, but there was never an airtight wall in this harem, and the news quickly spread to Lianyun Palace.

When the news came, Jun Liuyi was playing chess with Nalan Xinli.

"Your Majesty, paying respects to the Empress today is really a good show." Xia He came after serving refreshments for Jun Liuyi and Nalan Xinli.

Jun Liuyi raised the corners of her lips when she heard the words, but her eyes were fixed on the chessboard.

After thinking about it for a while, she saw that her hand was down, and only one hand had won the game.

Li Jieyu said regretfully: "If you make a mistake with one step, you will lose everything. I regret to death."

"No, this is a rare place where everyone chooses to stand in line today. Didn't someone make a mistake if we didn't go?" Jun Liuyi pointed out.

Nalan Xinli shrugged, and finally looked away from the chessboard and said, "What surprises Xinli is that the nobleman's choice is our side."

"And the most important thing is that we never appeared, so who is this play for?" Jun Liuyi added.

The two looked at each other and smiled, Nalan Xinli said with emotion: "I never thought that the mirror in the center of the harem is actually her."

Jun Liuyi nodded in agreement: "I have underestimated her in the previous incident. If this noble chess master is calculating, I'm afraid she will be harder to deal with than anyone else."

"It's just that I didn't expect that she was forced to such a point that she had to calculate every step of the way in order to save her family." Jun Liuyi was very emotional, and her understanding of chess nobles was re-examined because of today's events.

"Everyone has their own choice of path to go, some people have to bear the burden of the family, some people only pursue their own selfish desires, everyone is in a different environment, and the pursuit of different pursuits will naturally lead to a different life." Li Jie Yu said with emotion, "But now that I think about it now, the nobleman Qi was not provoked by Concubine Qi at that time, but it was definitely not only because she couldn't bear it, but more because she didn't want to be used by others."

"That's right, the noble chess master's mind really shouldn't be underestimated." Jun Liuyi nodded, "Today's incident reminds me of the day when she came to plead guilty and ask for my help."

"Sister said it, but did you miss any details?" Nalan Xinli visited Jun Liuyi when she was sick, and there were many things about Jun Liuyi that she could not hide from her, and the two who came and went got along more like sisters.

In the harem, no matter how great the emperor's favor is, it is impossible to fight alone and retreat from the whole province. Jun Liu Yi understands this truth, and Nalan Xinli also understands it.

It's just that the two of them know each other well, but they are both open and honest. With such a foundation of trust, they can get along more freely.

"Bengong remembers that the buyao that the nobleman of chess was carrying was a little old, and later I found out that it was given by the emperor." Jun Liuyi paused, half-closed his eyes and said suspiciously: "Imply to this palace that she is because of Qinger. The move has indeed won the sympathy and trust of this palace, the calculations of this chess nobleman are accurate."

Li Jieyu pursed her lips and frowned, feeling somewhat conflicted about this detail: "But in today's matter, if the noble chess master wants to cling to sister, there is no need to offend others when you and I have never appeared."

"So, she is the one who understands, and she boldly chose to use such an opportunity to show us her position." Jun Liuyi snorted coldly, "She is brave enough to openly reveal the cover-ups and tricks she has done before. .”

"Then does sister want this person?" Li Jieyu was also a little undecided, fearing that raising a tiger would cause trouble for herself.

"An enemy's enemy is a friend. People who really take action against me and reap the benefits of a fisherman are still complacent. How can I want others to live in peace?" Jun Liuyi blinked, "At least at this moment, the nobleman of chess is still happy." We have nothing to do with us, and we need us to fight against Concubine Huangui for her."

"Xinli understands what sister means." Li Jieyu nodded, "Then Xinli will invite her to my palace later?"

Jun Liuyi nodded, and set up the chessboard again to prepare for a game.

An hour later, after Li Jieyu left the Lotus Cloud Palace, she invited the nobleman of chess.

Everything in Hexin Palace is very simple, just like the Feiyu Palace where Li Jieyu stayed when she promised, but it can't be seen that it is the residence of the beloved concubine.

The nobleman of chess looked at the decoration of the palace, but did not show any other abnormalities.

"Sister Qi was wronged today?" Li Jieyu's one-on-one attack made the nobleman a little bit astonished. Nalan Xinli was still as low-key as usual, but the words he uttered made people feel unbelievable. It was the previous Li promise.

"Does Li Jieyu know?" The nobleman asked with a wry smile.

"Sister, let's call Xinli the same as before. I didn't intend to hide my identity when I invited my sister today. If my sister is still on guard, wouldn't I lose my sister's good intentions today?" Nalan Xin left the door and said, softly The soft smile makes people feel sincere and reassuring.

I was surprised by Li Jieyu's changes in my heart, but the chess nobleman still didn't see a single omission in his words and demeanor.

Before she could decide how to deal with it, she saw Nalan Xinli handing her an object.
