At this point, Xia Rongxin was too lazy to explain any more. Instead, she stood up, saluted Qi Bingyu, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, have a good rest. I, my concubine, leave."

After Xia Rongxin said that, she turned around and left. Under the illumination of the candlelight, Xia Rongxin quietly raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face. After crossing the high threshold of Qinzheng Hall, He Sheng stood with his head bowed and stood in her eyes. The starlight gradually dimmed, and the thick murderous intention also spurted out, like a flood bursting its embankment, unable to control...

Just now when he was kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly, Qi Bingyu kept talking about his Lu Fushuang, who he had carefully accompanied and raised children for all these years. Even after Lu Fushuang passed away, Xia Rongxin also wanted to take good care of Qi Jingyang. , after all, children are innocent, but Qi Jingyang has always been hostile to her, and the emperor also knows this, so Xia Rongxin is not willing to argue with a child. She can do anything about etiquette carefully, and she will definitely not Without the matter of the East Palace, my feelings will still be let down in the end.

Qi Jingyang's behavior is of no concern to Xia Rongxin. The reason why Xia Rongxin did this has always been because of Qi Bingyu.

Xia Rongxin wanted to appear virtuous and virtuous in front of Qi Bingyu, because she knew in her heart that Lu Fushuang had already given him the weird spirit Qi Bingyu wanted, but Qi Bingyu was the emperor, and the master of the harem was such a naughty girl. , there must be one person who takes charge of the harem. Only then did Xia Rongxin understand that she had always had such a status in the emperor's heart. She could only be a tool, a tool for him to control the harem in the world...

Just now, every word Qi Bingyu scolded her was mentioning Lu Fushuang, reminding Xia Rongxin that she was just a tool to be used, and she had no intention of ascending to a lower position...

She has always hated Lu Fushuang. After Lu Fushuang passed away, she was very confident that she could completely replace Lu Fushuang. She always thought that the person standing in front of her was Lu Fushuang, but now she has never thought that she actually In the end, after doing so much, Lu Huiling, who was very similar to Lu Fushuang, was not as important in the emperor's heart. The previous favor was just a kind of comfort after being used. In his mind, she had always been a complete little person. People can only be used and are not worthy of love. When he finds out that he has done something wrong and the tail he has hidden for decades finally leaks out, Qi Bingyu will show special disgust...

After He Sheng saw Concubine Mei come out, he wanted to go up and ask, but seeing her in such a dejected state, it was hard to go forward and ask. Concubine Mei usually treated the palace people very well. , He Sheng was also favored by her and would always mention Concubine Mei in front of the emperor to maintain her favor. But now the emperor is suddenly so indifferent to Concubine Mei, but he can't give Concubine Mei any tips and advice. Help, or in other words, no one knows about this except the two of them.

Qi Bingyu was very angry when he found out about this. It turned out that the accident at yesterday's spring banquet on a great day could have been avoided. Liang Huanqing was found to be pregnant. This was a big event for everyone to celebrate, but in Qi Bingyu's eyes, all this became Xia Rongxin's crime of knowing but not reporting it.

All along, in Qi Bingyu's eyes, Xia Rongxin must fulfill her duties. She should not do things that others can do, and she does not deserve to be forgiven for the mistakes that others may make. She has always been required by the emperor to be a virtuous and virtuous woman in the Celestial Dynasty.

A model, but since the death of Empress Mingxian, the post has been vacant and no one else is allowed to take it.

Qi Bingyu chose not to tell anyone and only talked about it with Xia Rongxin, just because he felt disappointed in his heart. But at this juncture, Qi Bingyu knew that he was not in good health, and the situation in the harem in the DPRK was really not suitable to be changed. No one could

Moving around.

Qi Bingyu told Xia Rongxin about this matter in private, firstly because he wanted to give Xia Rongxin a lesson, and secondly because if this matter spread, it would be harmful to the royal family but not beneficial at all, not only to the harem, but also to the court.

It would have a big impact, so Qi Bingyu didn't tell Xia Rongxin about it, and privately warned Xia Rongxin not because he wanted to save Xia Rongxin, but just for the sake of the overall situation. The current situation was already in chaos.

However, Xia Rongxin should have thought of this a long time ago. In Qi Bingyu's mind, Lu Fushuang ranked first, and major events in the world ranked second. However, she was far behind these two things, and maybe not worth mentioning at all.

Xia Rongxin was full of complaints and wanted to express them, but she didn't mention them in front of Qi Bingyu at that time. Since she already knew what her status was in Qi Bingyu's heart, no matter how much she said, it was just a waste of time.

Xia Rongxin doesn't want to say anything anymore...

Xia Rongxin walked out of Qinzheng Hall with a calm expression and her eyes were dull. When He Sheng saw that her eyes were slightly red and she looked a little strange, he just felt a little guilty in his heart. What did the emperor say? If any of them

If they don't want to say it, then they are slaves and naturally they won't ask at this juncture.

When He Sheng watched Concubine Mei walking past his eyes, he wanted to go forward and say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just stood outside the door of Qinzheng Hall and watched Concubine Mei slowly walk down.

The steps were facing the bright moon hanging in the middle of the sky. The evening breeze blew her silk skirt and her delicate face, causing her to narrow her eyes slightly. The moonlight was like water, and her complexion was clear and cool.

Dare to compete with the moonlight, slowly walking down the steps, quiet and beautiful, lonely and lonely, as beautiful and quiet as a picture of a lady under the moon.

But He Sheng could never see through his master's heart. Xia Rongxin was filled with resentment. She was still too soft-hearted after all. Her intention to kill Qi Bingyu just now was shaken. She had to leave this matter to Liang Huanqing...

Thinking about Liang Huanqing now, I don’t know what to do... Xia Rongxin looked at the bright moon in front of her. What Qi Bingyu said just now was indeed effective. It had always been like this. As long as it was anything Qi Bingyu said, no matter it was

Intentionally or not, it will penetrate into Xia Rongxin's bones little by little, affecting her behavior and thoughts.

Xia Rongxin now has some problems facing Liang Huanqing. In fact, she is smart, knows everything, and can see through almost everyone. She has always been as wise as a fool, but she may never know this in her whole life.

Her child was actually killed by her husband's mother, and she almost died. If it weren't for Shen Tuchen, Liang Huanqing would have died long ago, but Xia Rongxin clearly had a chance to prevent this.

Qi Bingyu was right. Xia Rongxin was ignorant. She didn't think clearly about the consequences of things. She didn't know what would happen next and she had no control over it. Just like Xia Rongxin didn't know what was in that glass of wine.

What a powerful poison, but it was also for the sake of protecting Qi Jingqin that Liang Huanqing drank it.

Xia Rongxin was short-sighted and would not be as far-sighted as them, but at that time she just wanted to help Qi Jingqin and help Qi Jingqin to get Prince Qi Jingyang to step down. Although the method was wrong, Zhao Peiyu wanted to kill Qi Jingqin. Didn't they do it first?

Xia Rongxin sacrificed Liang Huanqing in revenge, and Zhao Peiyu sacrificed her life for her life. This ending is completely insufficient...

After all, everything she did was wrong. Xia Rongxin had not thought about how to win Qi Bingyu's forgiveness at the moment. Since she had come to this point, why not continue on? As long as she killed Qi Bingyu, then

This world belongs to Qi Jingqin, and will only belong to Qi Jingqin...

Xia Rongxin stood on the steps and looked at the moonlight on the street as cold as water. Wasn't her heart equally as cold?

Yun Xi didn't know that Concubine Mei was inside and heard what the emperor said. She waited outside the door for a long time, then saw Concubine Mei walking down the steps, and then stood there respectfully.

Waiting for her, when she approached, she stepped forward and bowed: "Your Majesty."

Xia Rongxin looked at Yun Xi in front of her. If the emperor said he would not talk about this matter at the moment, then he would definitely not talk about it. However, this matter is inherently strange, but fortunately, they will not find it on her.

When the limelight has passed, those in the imperial dining room will have forgotten about it. By then, no one will know the truth about the Spring Banquet.

But now Yun Xi also knows about this matter. Xia Rongxin now feels uneasy when meeting anyone, even Yun Xi who has been by her side. Xia Rongxin is deeply suspicious and always worries that one day she will be able to sit safely as the Queen Mother.

, the person in charge of the harem at that time was Liang Huanqing. Although she wanted to be respectful to her, but her mother's family was so strong, she still had some concerns about the royal family. If Liang Huanqing knew about it at that time, she would definitely be plotted secretly. Liang Huanqing

It should not be underestimated, and Yun Xi could not be completely reassured.

However, Yun Xi stepped forward to help Concubine Mei as she prepared to return to Yichun Palace. She was thinking about what the emperor would say to Concubine Mei that would make her so sad, but she had no idea that Concubine Mei was thinking about these things. Yun Xi

Although Xi did not agree with the actions of Concubine Mei, she was a little curious about why Concubine Mei would do this. This was completely different from her previous appearance. However, although she did not agree with it, she was still a loyal protector of the Lord.

, categorically would not do such a thing.

Sooner or later, Xia Rongxin will pay the price for her suspicious temper...

Xia Rongxin didn't say anything at this moment, and Aunt Yunxi couldn't say anything else. She supported the imperial concubine and walked slowly to Yichun Palace. Because she felt that the atmosphere was not in the mirror, she didn't even say a word carefully.

I dare not say it.

"Mother concubine!"

Just as they turned around to return to Yichun Hall, Qi Wangshu's voice came from behind. The female officer holding a lantern to guide the way stopped first, and Xia Rongxin also stopped immediately, but never looked back.

Aunt Yun Xi raised her head and looked at Concubine Mei carefully, as if she wanted to remind Concubine Mei, but she didn't dare to say anything now, so she could only stand with her back to Qi Wangshu.

Xia Rongxin can't face her daughter now. After all, she has always focused on Qi Jingqin1, and now she wants to kill her father for Qi Jingqin and herself. If Qi Wangshu finds out about this, he will definitely not forgive her. Her...

Xia Rongxin straightened her expression, but still didn't have the courage to turn her head and look at Qi Wangshu.

Qi Wangshu stayed with Liang Huanqing last night and stayed up all night. After waking up, he hurried to Qinzheng Hall to see if his father had woken up. There were too many things going on recently. Qi Wangshu couldn't adapt to it for a while.

When he first arrived at the Qinzheng Hall, he saw He Sheng preparing to walk in, and wanted to follow him. However, Qingyin saw Concubine Mei who was leaving, so she reminded the princess, and Qi Wangshu turned around. When he saw his mother-in-law who was about to leave, he shouted first and then trotted to follow her.

"Mother and concubine!" Qi Wangshu ran closer, walked to Xia Rongxin, then slowly saluted and said, "My son, I pay my respects to my mother and concubine."

This is in the palace, and there are always various rules. Even if Qi Wangshu is a princess, there must be no exceptions. What's more important is that when the female officer of the honor guard approached the lantern, she saw that her mother-in-law's face didn't look good. He also bowed politely, fearing that he would offend someone.

Qi Wangshu didn't dare to think too much. At this juncture, with internal and external troubles in the palace, who would be in a good mood? Not to mention that almost everything in the palace now falls on the mother and concubine alone, so it's not like she is in a bad mood. Things that make sense.

Xia Rongxin sighed in her heart. She had to face what she should face. She turned sideways and looked at Qi Wangshu. Her expression became gentler and her voice was a little tired. She asked: "Why? Are you coming to Qinzheng Palace now?"

"I didn't sleep last night. I slept a little longer when I got to the palace. Now I'm late." Qi Wangshu said politely, "I wanted to come and see how my father is doing, but I can't. I don’t dare to go in and chat, I don’t know what’s going on now?”

After Xia Rongxin listened, she raised her head and glanced at the palace with red walls and glazed tiles. Under the illumination of the moonlight, the glazed tiles shone coldly, which was very much like the human heart of this palace.

But then Xia Rongxin said to Qi Wangshu: "Your father is awake and is resting now. My mother and concubine just finished speaking to him. It's time for her to fall asleep. You should be good and don't nag him again. Wait until It's not too late to come back later tomorrow, you have always been well-behaved, your father will know."

Qi Wangshu nodded, looked around, and then asked: "Where is Huanqing? I heard that Huanqing also entered the palace, why is there no one there?"

Xia Rongxin and Aunt Yun Xi looked at each other, and then they remembered that Liang Huanqing was still resting in the side hall of Qinzheng Hall, so they decided to take Qi Wangshu with them to have a look.

————————————————

In the side hall.

Liang Huanqing was lying on the bed, Yuebai stood anxiously aside, and Shen Tuchen was checking her pulse through a veil. He kept blaming her in his heart for being so reckless and running around before her body fully recovered. I don’t know how to feel sorry for myself at all…
