Chen Palace

Chapter 83 Check and Balance
At this time, the setting sun was setting to the west, and a little bit of golden glow poured down from the small window, which was warm but sad.

Concubine Zhou Guifei sat quietly in the corner, staring at the strands of warm light, as if contemplative, as if rebellious.

"What are you here for?"

She asked lightly, beside the black skirt, emerald green phoenixes and phoenixes were dancing, all decorated with pearls and jade, shining brightly in the darkness.

Chen Lu imagined that when she was imprisoned by an edict, she must be calm and composed, with her head slightly raised, aloof and resolute.

"Is it the emperor's will?"

Concubine Zhou continued to ask, still so nonchalant, as if she took life and death lightly and had nothing to worry about.

"Is it murder or suicide?"

Chen Lu smiled slightly: "You're thinking wrong, I just came to visit you according to the emperor's order."

When Concubine Zhou Guifei heard the words, she was unhappy instead of worried, and sighed: "It's just a white silk and it's over..."

Chen Lu saw her sitting quietly in a corner, looking lifeless, a nameless anger rose from her heart: "Are you admitting defeat like this?!"

Concubine Zhou suddenly saw her speak harshly, and gave her a surprised look: "Now that I have all the witnesses, I have nothing to say..."

She took a deep look out of the window, as if she wanted to see all the distance—

"Besides, he and I love each other..."

"So, Concubine Qi did spy on your tryst that night?"

Chenlu hit the nail on the head with the essence of the problem.

Concubine Zhou Gui smiled wryly and shook her head: "I can't explain the mystery, but now that I think about it, that night seemed like a dream."

As Chenlu listened, she narrated...

"That day, we made an appointment to meet at Feiyan Pavilion. We had just said a few words, but a shadow of a dart flashed by. I reached out to pick it up, but it was a short note. It seemed to be written with my left hand and the font was skewed."

"That's two big characters: Su Li!"

Knowing that someone had discovered Xingzang, we left in a hurry, but there was no obstacle along the way. After we parted at Xihua Gate, I went back to my own palace and never left... More than half an hour later, the palace In the middle of the day, Yingtian started to make a fuss - when Concubine Qi's maid found out, she had already died in the pavilion. "

She sighed, and concluded: "I never thought that I would be defeated by such a framing!"

After Chen Lu listened quietly, she finally spoke, but she asked a very abrupt question: "Don't you regret it?"

Facing Concubine Zhou's slightly puzzled eyes, she said: "In this harem, you have an honorable status, almost under one person, but why did you want to have a tryst with that person in the middle of the night and make such a mess?"

"The battlefield is ever-changing, so I can't worry about it... For so many years, he and I have been separated from each other, and now fortune has played tricks on others, and fate is stingy..."

Concubine Zhou Gui spoke softly, but in the end, she was already inaudibly low.

The golden light gradually dimmed, and in the corner, her slender and resolute face almost turned into an illusion, and only a soft sigh came from the nothingness: "As you said, in this world, no one knows whose struggle Woolen cloth?!"

Chen Lu was silent, and she had nothing to say. She thought of the indifferent and sassy woman when she first met, and the aura that stood out from the crowd, and she couldn't bear it——

"Don't worry, I will find evidence to clear your name!"

Oddly enough, she said something, but she was almost taken aback by herself, she got up and wanted to leave.

"Wait a minute!"

Concubine Zhou Gui shouted loudly, facing Chen Lu's suspicious eyes, she lightly gritted her teeth, and said word by word:

"Two things to tell you—"

"It's really not my intention to murder Mei Guifei's imperial descendant."

"And...be careful—my father."

After she finished speaking in one breath, she sat back in the corner without another word.

The afterglow of the setting sun finally faded away, and there was only one lamp in the small shabby room surrounded by iron-cast railings.

In this world, who knows whose struggle?
****
The night was as dark as ink, and the imperial study room was still as bright as day. Under the two rows of Chinese candles made of honey wax, the emperor was furiously writing, but his hands slowed down unknowingly.

As soon as the matter of Concubine Qi came out, there was an uproar in the harem, and countless courtiers made a request to severely punish Concubine Zhou and restore order in the palace.

Thinking of Concubine Zhou Gui, he frowned, and couldn't help but get angry.

This matter itself is quite strange, Concubine Zhou possesses excellent martial arts, how could Concubine Qi bump into her without realizing it?

If she really killed people to silence her, why did she leave the body where it was without any treatment?
Yuan Qi quietly watched the dripping tears, only to feel that although the room is bright and refreshing, this secluded and deep palace is covered with heavy fog, as if there is a huge net, quiet and strange, moving towards the throne come.

Bad visitor...

He sneered in his heart, but he was not without worries——

In the harem, once the second concubine Zhou Qi left, no one could check and balance the Queen Mother's power!

He was troubled in his heart, he paused with the vermilion pen, a huge drop of bright red cinnabar fell down, it seemed shocking. (To be continued, if you want to know what happens next, please visit www.CMFU.COM, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
