Harem Pampered Beauty: Chen Xiangxue

Chapter 76

Qin Shu was startled, and immediately responded and exited the imperial study, then trotted all the way to Yide Palace, and passed Yeluyan's original words to Murong Xue.

When Murong Xue heard these words, her face froze with anger, she turned her head and let Jiayin serve the food.

The maid quickly brought the food.The food has been warmed on the iron plate for several hours. Although it is hot, it has lost its original deliciousness. Murong Xue tasted like wax. He ate a bowl of rice, then put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said to Qin Shu: "Go and tell the emperor , I have already eaten, when can I see him?"

Under the candlelight, her face was like jade, her eyebrows were picturesque, and because of anger, there was a layer of moisture in her crystal clear eyes, which were shimmering and unparalleled in beauty.Qin Shu sighed in his heart, with such a stunning appearance, no wonder the queen would be jealous.

After leaving Yide Palace, Qin Shu forwarded Murong Xue's original words to Yeluyan in the imperial study.

Yeluyan stood in front of the map with his hands behind his back, looking at the border between Xiliang and Dazhou, and turned a deaf ear to Qin Shu's words.

Qin Shu retreated quietly, feeling even more strange in his heart, why the emperor refused to see Concubine De?Why is Concubine De so eager to see the Emperor?
The relationship between these two people is really strange, if you say that the emperor doesn't care about Concubine De, but he tries to force her to eat, if you say he cares about her, he avoids seeing her.

Eunuch Qin's curiosity was all aroused, and he wished he could go to the head of the secret guard immediately to find out, but he didn't have the guts, who would dare to gossip about the emperor.

Murong Xue was lying on the bed, extremely tired, but she didn't feel sleepy, with too many worries weighing on her heart.Especially Xu Ze, who worries her the most and is in the most dangerous situation.If Yeluyan thinks that he and him have premeditated a premeditated elopement, his life may be in danger.Because this matter not only involved Yeluyan's dignity, but also the face of the royal family. Thinking of this, she couldn't sleep any more, and wished she could explain it to Yeluyan immediately.

But the harem is not like a palace, where you can move around at will, and he is not the former King Zhaoyang, so you can see him at will.She can only wait in torment.

And at this moment in Fengyi Palace, Empress Yu Pingting was also tossing and turning, unable to sleep because of Murong Xue's return.

She was shocked to hear the news that Murong Xue had been found at the moment when Murong Xue's people had already entered the palace gate.After knowing it so far, it can be seen how tightly Yeluyan kept the news.

Yu Pingting was furious. Not only did Murongxue not die, she was also quietly brought into the palace by Yeluyan, and Yeluyan didn't even say hello to her. After all, she was also the master of the harem.If Mrs. Guan hadn't stopped her, she would have rushed to Qinzheng Palace to argue with Yeluyan.

In the dead of night, the huge palace seemed extremely lonely and cold. She hugged her knees, thinking of Yeluyan who had languished because of Murong Xue a few months ago, spared no effort to find her, rebuilt the palace in memory of her, for her, even for her. That idiot cousin was promoted to the guard and became a chariot general.She endured all kinds of things, just because she thought that Murong Xue was dead, and she didn't need to offend Yeluyan for a dead person, but now it's different, Murongxue entered the palace alive, it can be seen that in the future, Yeluyan will treat her How much she loves her.

She was so angry that she threw the pillow in her hand on the ground, and said to Guan Shi: "The bitch entered the palace, shouldn't she come to see her first? She didn't move at all in the Yide Palace, can't you just wait for me to see her?"

Guan Shi said: "That country girl doesn't understand the rules of the palace, so don't worry about it like her. If you punish her, I'm afraid the emperor will not like it."

Yu Pingting sneered: "She doesn't understand the rules, so the female officials of Yide Palace are also idiots. If she doesn't come to pay her respects tomorrow, she will first punish the female officials of Yide Palace twenty times."

Early the next morning, Yu Pingting waited for Murong Xue to come to visit her.Unexpectedly, instead of Murong Xue, Yeluyan came instead.

This is the first time Yeluyan has come to Fengyi Palace since she had a big quarrel with Yeluyan over the renovation of Yide Palace last time. Go up: "The emperor just came down?"

Yeluyan nodded slightly, walked to the hall and sat down, said: "Concubine De is back, you must know."

"Yes, the concubine already knows."

"After she fell into the river, she suffered a serious illness. She will be taken care of for several months. Up to now, she is still weak and needs to rest. Therefore, I have spared her from coming to Fengyi Palace to pay her respects. The queen is not allowed to go to Yide Palace if she has nothing to do. Now the affairs of the former court No, it's better to be safe in the harem and don't cause any troubles, the empress will take care of you." After saying that, he got up and walked out.

Yu Pingting sent him out of Fengyi Palace, she was so angry that her heart and lungs were about to explode.

Seeing her angry expression, Mrs. Guan quickly tried to persuade her: "That's fine, the empress doesn't like to see her anyway, if she doesn't come to pay her respects, she will leave her eyes clean."

"What's wrong with your health? It's obviously to protect her. I don't want to see her, but the emperor protects her like this, which really makes people angry."

Guan said with a smile: "She can still be sick for the rest of her life. The empress is the master of the harem. She will come to bow down sooner or later. Why should the empress be anxious?"

Yu Pingting snorted angrily, "I'm going to see the concubine."

Qiao Xueyi was teasing Princess Wenchang to teach her tongue twisters, when she saw Yu Pingting coming in with a displeased face, she couldn't help but smile: "The Queen's habit of putting all her emotions on her face needs to be changed."

Yu Pingting was startled, and said with a dry smile, "It's okay for me to show my true nature in front of my cousin."

Qiao Xueyi smiled: "Empress, please remember that in the palace, you are not allowed in front of anyone, even if you look in the mirror by yourself, you must be careful."

"My cousin's words are strange. Don't you have to be on guard against yourself?"

"Indeed, because you are your own worst enemy."

Yu Pingting didn't quite understand the meaning of her words, she turned to look at Princess Wenchang and said, "Cousin really cares about Princess Wenchang."

"At first, I didn't like children very much, but now I like them more and more. I will live for the princess for the rest of my life." Qiao Xueyi's words revealed a sense of loneliness and despair, and her light tone made people worry even more.

Yu Pingting said disapprovingly: "How could it be, now that my cousin is a concubine, who in the harem doesn't respect her?"

Qiao Xueyi smiled and said nothing, what's the use of asking others to be in awe, and it's not for others to see.

Yu Pingting said: "Then Murong Xue is back, and she is not dead."

Qiao Xueyi had already learned about it, so she smiled indifferently: "So what, even if there is no Murong Xue, the emperor will soon have a more fresh and beautiful woman, one more Murong Xue is not much, and one less is quite a lot. It may not be a good thing for the emperor to spoil her In the future, she will be the thorn in the eyes of all the concubines, and she just happens to be your shield. When they fight together, they can't care about you, the queen. Show the chicken to the monkey."

There is some truth in these words, but Yu Pingting always feels that she can swallow this breath, and said angrily: "Our Yu family has contributed a lot to the succession of the emperor. The emperor should treat me a thousand times better than that Murong Xue. .”

Qiao Xueyi shook her head: "The queen's words are wrong. The emperor succeeded because the late emperor chose the emperor, not the Yu family chose the emperor. If I hadn't pleaded in the late emperor's ear countless times to let the late emperor grant the marriage, you thought the emperor would Marriage with the Yu family? To put it bluntly, don't mind the empress. There are many aristocrats in this court who are more powerful than the Yu family. There are also women who are more talented and beautiful than you, the empress. The emperor is willing to marry Yu. The marriage between the Yu family is not to cling to the Yu family, but because it is the will of the late emperor. Therefore, it is the Yu family who should thank the emperor and the late emperor, not the emperor who should be grateful to the Yu family. It will be a big taboo in the future. I have only heard such words before forgetting them, the empress must not reveal such a tone in front of anyone, especially in front of the emperor."

Yu Pingting bit her lips and remained silent, but she was still a little unconvinced in her heart.

Qiao Xueyi said seriously: "Back then your father was vacillating between King Chengxi and the emperor, and King Chengxi had proposed marriage to your father, how could the emperor not know? The queen remembers to mention your father, and you must not claim to be a meritorious minister The throne belongs to the destiny and has nothing to do with the Yu family, the queen should think about the fate of Huo Guang's family."

Yu Pingting was very displeased in her heart, she thought to herself, you are only a few years older than me, and you are only a concubine, yet you use this empress dowager's airs to teach me.Because of face, she reluctantly chatted with Qiao Xueyi for a few more words, then got up to leave.

Murong Xue waited for another day, but Yeluyan still didn't come to see her.

She was so anxious that she had no choice but to write a letter with a pen and paper, and said to Jiayin: "You present this letter to the emperor."

After a while, Jiayin came back with a disheveled face, and whispered: "Your Majesty, forgive me, this servant has not been able to see the Emperor."

"Why?"

"The emperor is dealing with state affairs, and no one should disturb him."

It seems that Yeluyan deliberately refused to see her.But Xu Ze's life was at stake, so she had to tell him the truth no matter what.

When her eyes fell on the red sandalwood table, she couldn't help but her eyes lit up. She cut three peacock feathers from the vase, put them on the letter, and said to Jiayin: "Give the letter to Eunuch Qin and ask him to forward it to the emperor."

When Qin Shu received this letter with peacock feathers on it, he took a hot potato and sent it to the imperial study tremblingly, offering it with both hands carefully, "Your Majesty, Empress Defei sent someone to send a letter, please Your Majesty Yulan."

Yeluyan was still indifferent and indifferent, his face as dark as a glacier of thousands of years.

Qin Shu thought, does this mean not to accept?So holding the letter, he wanted to bow and retreat.

Unexpectedly, Yeluyan suddenly said: "Put it down."

Qin Shu hurriedly stepped forward two more steps, and put the letterhead on the desk.

The candlelight danced in the study room, and there was no sound. Yeluyan glanced at the three feathers from the corner of his eyes, and frowned.

He snorted coldly, and guessed what was written in her letter without reading it.

But in the end it was taken apart.

Seeing words is like seeing people.

As for the content, it was completely expected by him, and he put everything on her alone, and it had nothing to do with Xu Ze.

He snorted coldly, picked up the pen and heavily marked the word "Xu Ze" with a Chinese ink pen, and said coldly to Qin Shu, "Send the letter to Yide Palace."

After Qin Shu took the letter, he became more and more puzzled. What kind of song did these two sing? Is there anything that can't be said face to face? The Mingming Yide Palace is on the west side of the Qinzheng Palace. Just lift your feet and you'll be there, or you can ask Empress Defei to come.Across a palace wall, there is actually an exchange of letters, which is really unheard of and unseen.

When Murong Xue saw Qin Shu, she hurriedly took the letter paper, the seal had already been opened, it was obvious that he had seen it, so she felt relieved.But when he took out the letter, he saw a big red cross on the paper, crossing Xu Ze's body.

Her face changed. Could it be that she meant to kill him?
She hurriedly said to Qin Shu: "Take me to see the emperor."

Qin Shu showed a look of embarrassment: "The emperor has not summoned the empress."

"Where is the emperor?"

"The emperor is still in the imperial study."

"Take me to the imperial study, I will not make things difficult for you, and I will never force my way."

Qin Shu had no choice but to lead Murong Xue out of Yide Palace.The two young eunuchs who came with Qin Shu held up lanterns in front to light the way, and Jiayin followed Murong Xue cautiously with a few court ladies.

Bypassing the palace wall is the Emperor's Qianming Palace.

The palace in the night became more majestic and solemn.

Murong Xue stopped in her tracks, looking at the Palace of Qinzheng under the moonlight.She had been here before. At that time, Zhao Zhenniang was still the most promising Concubine Shu in the palace, and was held in the lap of the old emperor. Now, where is she?Is it in Hong'en Temple, or in the Lenggong?

Once a person arrives here, his fate cannot be controlled by himself.For example, at this moment, there are guards with knives standing every five steps on the platform outside the Hall of Qinzheng. She wants to see Yeluyan, as if she is separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.In fact, he was only a few feet away from her.

In the imperial study room on the east side of Qinzheng Hall, bright candlelight shines through the carved wooden window of Fushou Wujiang. He is inside, but he refuses to see her.

A person she once loved to the bone, now hates her to the bone.

Time slipped through the fingers, the night wind was blowing, and it was cold and cold.Is it good fortune to trick people, or is it God's will?
She was so sad.

After a while, Qin Shu opened the vermilion embroidered brocade curtain, walked down the jade steps, and came to her: "The emperor asked the empress to return to the palace."

"I'll wait here until the emperor is willing to see me." Murong Xue remained unmoved, staring at the window with a stubborn expression.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late and the wind and dew are heavy. Your Majesty should go back to the palace to rest, and don't catch a cold."

"I'm not leaving." Murong Xue's voice was calm and firm.

Qin Shu persuaded again: "The sacred order must not be violated. The empress should go back."

Murong Xue simply remained silent.

Qin Shu scratched his head, worrying about how to persuade Concubine De to go back.At this time, the eunuch from the imperial dining room arrived and brought the tray to him: "Eunuch Qin, the emperor's supper."

Qin Shu was about to take it over.

Murong Xue who was standing by the side suddenly raised her hand and knocked the snack on the tray to the ground.

The porcelain bowl shattered on the blue bricks. In the silence, this clear and loud sound almost shattered Qin Shu's heart.

Overturning the emperor's supper, this is a capital crime of treason.

Immediately afterwards, Eunuch Qin's liver and gallbladder broke.

Murong Xue bent down quickly, picked up a piece of porcelain from the ground, and put it on her neck!

"Your Majesty." Qin Shu's voice changed in fright, and he knelt down as soon as his legs softened, and shouted, "My Lady, let go."

Murong Xue rowed cruelly.

Poor Eunuch Qin, he was completely frightened and passed out, but before he passed out, a figure flashed in front of his eyes.
