Murong Qianqian's head was covered with black lines, "sh|it, am I very fat? I have a devilish figure."

"Hehe~" On the shoulder, the hornbill covered its mouth and snickered.

Turning her head, Murong Qianqian looked at the hornbill speechlessly and said angrily: "It's worthless, even the way he smiles looks like Xiao Hei."

However, the hornbill tilted its neck and said happily: "Master, this is called a husband and wife relationship, haha~ Recently, Xiao Hei likes to play with the hornbill more and more."

The wind was really strong tonight, and the hem of my skirt was blown loudly.

I held the lantern with the incense stick, and the candle flame flickered in the wind, as if it would be blown out if I was not careful, so I had to protect it carefully.

Crackling, a bolt of lightning pierced the sky.

Murong Qianqian raised her head, looked at the sky and said, "It looks like it's going to rain soon, Xiangmo, walk faster."

"Yes." Xiang Mo replied, staring intently at the candlelight. Just as he followed, he bumped into Murong Qianqian who suddenly stopped, "Hey, my head."

"Xiangmo, my earring has fallen off." Murong Qianqian touched her earlobe and said nervously: "This is made by Yaoyao himself. Will I get beaten if I lose it?"

There were three black lines on Xiang Mo's forehead, and he thought to himself, Madam, could you please stop taking this sentence as a mantra? If you don't know, you would think that the emperor is a domestic violence?

As everyone knows, their emperor is very obedient to his empress. He is afraid of breaking it when holding it in his hand, and is afraid of melting when he holds it in his mouth. It is simply too good to say anything.

"Then, Madam, please go to Haoxuan Hall first, and I'll look for it. It's always lost on the way here." Xiang Mo handed the lantern to Murong Qianqian and turned around to look for it.

However, Murong Qianqian stopped her and handed the lantern back, "How can you find it without a lantern? Maybe you can still make a mobile call. Don't worry, I have peerless martial arts now. It's okay to walk at night."

After that, he turned around and hurriedly blended into the night.

Tonight, the entrance of Haoxuan Palace was unusually quiet. There was not even a eunuch guarding the door.

Murong Qianqian was slightly puzzled, but when she saw that the lights in the study were still bright, she walked up the steps and reached out to gently open the door.

There was still no one in the outer hall, but the faint candlelight coming from the inner room swayed, and the elongated figure could still be vaguely seen.

"Who allowed you to come in?" A loud shout and Xuanyuan Yao's angry voice came from the inner study room.

Murong Qianqian was stunned for a moment, feeling confused in her heart. Didn't Yaoyao say that she could come to the study to find him at any time? How angry was he now?

Just as I was thinking this, I suddenly heard another voice, "Your Majesty, do you hate seeing your concubines so much now? Where are those sworn alliances?"

Meng Fei, why is she here?

Murong Qianqian paused. In fact, she didn't like eavesdropping in corners, but at this moment she subconsciously held her breath and listened carefully to what was going on inside.

Xuanyuan Yao put down the brush in his hand and raised his head casually, "A vow of eternal friendship?" He sneered, "Have I ever had an oath of eternal friendship with you?"

The flickering candlelight cast half a shadow on the pale face, and the flowing eyes had shallow ripples, like the surface of a lake ruffled by the wind.

Concubine Meng bit her lip, but her voice was very clear, "Haha, how could I have forgotten that the emperor never loves any woman, he just plays with their hearts."

Xuanyuan Yao leaned his back on the dragon chair, raised his brows and remained silent.

"In the eyes of the emperor, women are only divided into two types: useful chess pieces and useless chess pieces. Once upon a time, my concubines were your useful chess pieces, so they were protected in the palm of your hand.

Let the Queen Mother, Concubine Zhen, Xia Houfu, Murong Lan and others, and even everyone in the world, think that I am your true love, the woman you will love for the rest of your life."

Meng Fei raised her head and stared straight at Xuanyuan Yao, trying to tell from the light in his eyes whether he had any other emotions when she said these words.

Unfortunately, there was nothing there except an increasingly cold smile.

Xuanyuan Yao stared at Meng Fei indifferently, with the same expression as when he looked at all the palace people, "You are wrong. To me, Meng Fei, you have never been a useful chess piece."

Meng Fei was startled.

"For people like you, it doesn't matter if they are missing. I just randomly added them to the palace list. It's just that you are lucky. If you are gone, there will be more chess pieces."

Xuanyuan Yao's words made Meng Fei understand that she had overestimated herself. She was once not even a chess piece, so was it still meaningful to keep asking him if he loved her?

However, a strange smile appeared on the corner of her lips, Xuanyuan Yao, you underestimate women too much. If you don't get it, you will destroy it. If you hurt her, you will show your teeth and retaliate.

"Your Majesty, is the Queen a useful chess piece?" Meng Fei smiled softly, but her voice was word by word, and every word was extremely clear.

Murong Qianqian was stunned, her heart suddenly raised to her throat.

Inside, there was silence for a moment.

After a moment, Xuanyuan Yao's voice sounded like a smile but not a smile, "Of course, she is a useful chess piece."

At this moment, Murong Qianqian felt that her legs were weak and she could no longer stand. She was swaying and about to fall down. However, she tried her best to stay calm and stood still in place.

However, the next second, Meng Fei's words caused her whole world to collapse.

"Haha, it's great to have a useful chess piece." Concubine Meng laughed angrily, "But the emperor almost killed this useful chess piece back then."

What's the meaning?

"Have you forgotten the hint the emperor gave to my concubine the day before the wedding? You said that although you most hope that your concubine will be your queen, the rules set by your ancestors dictate that Murong Qianqian must become the queen.

The emperor added, but that would not necessarily be the case if it was a dead person. What a pity, how could a good person die suddenly?

When you ask me this question, doesn't it mean that I want to kill Murong Qianqian? I really did that, but it's a pity that Murong Qianqian was lucky."

Hearing Meng Fei's words, Xuanyuan Yao folded his arms and said in a neutral voice: "Yes, I am indeed hinting at you."

At first, he did not fall in love with Murong Qianqian. He only felt that this woman would definitely become someone who would hinder his unification of the country in the future, so he wanted to take advantage of her first.

Fortunately, Qian Qian was blessed with great fortune and did not lose her beauty on the wedding day. Otherwise, this life would be so regretful. Without her, what would be the meaning of the country and myself.

Murong Qianqian stood motionless, the wind blowing in through the door messed up her hair, her vision was blurry, but her tears refused to fall.

"Your Majesty, you are indeed very wise." Concubine Meng's smile was as ferocious as the strong wind outside.
