It was already dark when Hu Xiaorong woke up. She could only lie on the bed. The pain in her butt reminded her that everything that happened this morning was real. She gritted her teeth and stared at the bed curtain. This Xia Qingxin is so brave.
, see how she can't get along with her.
"Xia Qingxin, I will settle this account with you!"
"My dear, be careful, the walls have ears. I have thought of a way, but I don't know whether to tell it or not."
The personal maid next to her, Lisu, leaned against the bed and was mumbling ideas.
"Then why don't you hurry up and say it? Hurry up."
Hu Xiaorong was eager to take revenge, but she didn't know that she would fall into someone else's trap.
After Lisu finished speaking, Hu Xiaorong's eyes lit up. Why didn't she think that she could do this?
"You did a good job, and I'll give you the hairpin on my dressing table."
Lisu thanked her cheerfully and showed an evil smile where she couldn't see it, and the fish was about to take the bait.
Xia Qingxin became famous in the harem after what happened in the morning. The concubines were talking about this incident. Some said that she seemed to have changed into a different person, while others clapped their hands and said that Hu Xiaorong punished her well. This incident soon spread to Baili.
In Mingyu's ears.
Baili Mingyu thought deeply about what she was going to do, but since it was his irrationality last time that caused today's situation, he was too embarrassed to ask about it, so he pretended not to know.
Baili Mingyu didn't know what kind of feelings he had for Xia Qingxin. He liked it even if he said he liked it, and he didn't like it even if he said he didn't like it, because he didn't trust Xia Qingxin and would doubt her and test her whenever he heard the slightest sign of trouble.
In the final analysis, some people are not suitable to love someone because they love themselves more than others.
Xia Qingxin had long disliked Hu Xiaorong. It turned out that she thought the fights in the harem were indifferent and she preferred to be more leisurely. But now Baili Mingyu really touched her final bottom line, and she began to fight back and became extreme.
, the kindness of the past is gone. Isn’t it just a death? Since they don’t take their own lives seriously and are trying to commit suicide all day long, then what if they become the bad guy themselves? Help them.
idea.
Everyone thought that after punishing Hu Xiaorong this time, she would be injured in the palace, but who knew that Xia Qingxin said that everyone would come to pay respects and not be absent, so every day someone would be carried back and forth in Fengchu Palace on a stretcher.
In and out.
Hu Xiaorong finally became less arrogant in the harem, and became the laughing stock of everyone. She expected Baili Mingyu to come visit him once, but she didn't. She gradually understood that she still had to rely on herself in this harem.
Hu Xiaorong deeply understands her current situation. If she wants to take revenge on Xia Qingxin, she must endure it. There is really no other way out except this.
It was another morning, and Xia Qingxin was about to reach out to Baili Mingyu again. She knew that Baili Mingyu must know what she was doing, so she started her first step plan in order to be legitimately bad in the future.
Baili Mingyu of Longyin Hall was reviewing the memorial in front of the Dragon Case, and did not pay any attention to Dao Xia Qingxin's footsteps coming in.
"Your Majesty, you must be tired after reviewing for so long. Can you let me serve you and have some snacks?"
Baili Mingyu was frightened by this weak and charming voice. The book he was reviewing the memorial suddenly flicked the cinnabar pen and clicked out more.
When did she come in? Gao Yida became increasingly ignorant of the rules and actually let Xia Qingxin come in like this without telling her.
"Why is my concubine here? Do you miss me?" This Xia Qingxin really has the temper of a child. After she vented her anger on Hu Xiaorong, she never got better again, and she even took the initiative to show her kindness.
"How does the emperor know? I have thought about it carefully these days. It turns out that I am really ignorant. The emperor is obviously so good to me, but I also deliberately go against the emperor. In the final analysis, I am making trouble for myself. Now
I have figured it out, but I don’t know if the emperor can forgive me."
After Xia Qingxin finished speaking, she gently pressed Baili Mingyu's shoulders with her little hands. The man was indeed forgetful. One second he thought this woman was coming to kill him, and the next second he fell into a state of gentleness.
"It would be great if you understood earlier, but even if you understand now, it's not too late. You have given birth to a son for me. I will always remember this contribution. Come and take me here."
Baili Mingyu patted the seat next to him. He freed up half of his work for Xia Qingxin. As long as Xia Qingxin had a good attitude, she felt that this woman was quite good.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is bad. This is a dragon chair. How can I sit on it?"
"Sit down if I tell you to. Don't be afraid. Didn't Della bring some snacks for me to eat? Why don't you bring them over quickly and feed them to me?"
He held Xia Qingxin's small waist with one hand and stroked his face with the other. For snacks, the temptation was not great. The most important thing was that he wanted to eat her.
"Your Majesty hates it, I will bring it to you right now." She took away his hand from her body to hide her disgust, twisted a piece of mung bean cake and put it in his mouth.
Baili Mingyu licked her fingers while eating, "I really want it, my dear concubine."
Just as he was about to take the next step, Eunuch Gao's voice came over, "Prime Minister Jian is outside asking to see the emperor."
Baili Mingyu couldn't bear to part with the warm and fragrant soft jade below, but he also knew that it must be a big deal for Jian Xiang to find him. Although he was divorced last time because of his daughter's affairs, he was not ambiguous at all on other major matters.
Baili Mingyu pushed Xia Qingxin on his chair and sat side by side with him. Then he straightened his clothes and said, "Xuan Jian, please come in."
When Prime Minister Jian walked in, the emotion on his face flashed across his face. This queen really doesn't understand the rules. Is that a place where she can sit?
"Old minister, I see you, Your Majesty."
"My dear, please excuse me. Why are you so anxious?"
"Back to the emperor, there is news from the border that Li Kingdom has taken action against Ute State, and now it has been defeated by Ute State, and there is no plan to retreat. The old minister is wondering whether Li State is preparing to annex Ute State.
country?"
When talking about this matter, Jian Xiang was still very worried. People said that Li Guo had been retreating behind the scenes all year round and never showed up. Now he suddenly appeared just to do this kind of thing. It was obvious at a glance that nothing good happened.
"You mean Li Guo has come out?" Baili Mingyu was shocked. He had always regarded Li Guo as an invisible opponent, but he just thought about it for himself, because currently his country has no strength to take down Ute.
No, so he has been training secretly.
Unexpectedly, Li Guo would suddenly send troops to the Ute Kingdom at this time. This was more than a year after he ascended the throne. His foundation was not yet stable. Now he did not even have time to think about dealing with the Ute Kingdom. Time passed too fast. In the blink of an eye,
It's the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, and the New Year will be celebrated in two days. Good news has already come from the front. Nalan Lingyu has won a great victory. He is leading his soldiers on the way back, but the journey is far away and the fastest will not be until the second day of the new year.
He arrived, which meant that he couldn't accompany him to celebrate the New Year.
"Sister, don't worry. Lord Nalan will come back safely. Haven't we already received good news from the front?" Xia Qingcheng watched Xia Qingxin sighing and was a little worried about her young lady's condition.
Ah Ling is not coming back. It seems that she has to spend the New Year alone this year. Alas, she can't arouse any interest when she thinks about this. She is really annoyed. What is happening? It's all Baili Mingyu's fault.
"Can I not be worried? Baili Mingyu was able to assassinate Ah Ling when he went there, and hated him even more when he came back. Ah Ling will definitely be rewarded when he comes back. Do you think he is willing?"
Xia Qingcheng fell silent after hearing what she said. Her sister was right, the emperor would definitely not give up and would definitely try her best to kill him this time.
"No, I have to leave the palace to pick him up." Xia Qingxin couldn't sit still when she thought about the possibility of losing Nalan Lingyu. She stood up and prepared to pack her bags and prepare to secretly leave the palace.
"Sister, you can't go. It's New Year's Eve soon, and all the civil and military officials of the dynasty will come to the palace to celebrate their birthday together. How can you be absent as the mother of a country! It's too dangerous."
Xia Qingcheng grabbed Xia Qingxin's hand in packing the baggage and wanted to stop her from being stupid, but how could Xia Qingxin listen to it now.
"No, I can't just watch this Ah Ling die. I can't do it at all."
Xia Qingxin shook off Xia Qingcheng's hand and continued to pack her clothes. She must leave overnight. Only when she saw Ah Ling did she feel relieved.
"Sister, have you ever thought about what would happen if Lord Nalan hadn't died and the emperor discovered that you secretly left the palace to meet him privately?"
It was confirmed that the two of them had a shady relationship. At that time, not only would they not be able to save Master Nalan, but they would also get herself involved. She would not let her sister do this.
"But what should I do? Wait?" Xia Qingxin stopped what she was doing and sat on the edge of the bed dejectedly, suddenly realizing that she was not strong at all, or even incompetent.
When a person has concerns in his heart, he will no longer be invincible and will become panicked when encountering things related to the other person. Xia Qingxin is such a person.
Xia Qingcheng felt uncomfortable seeing her uncomfortable look. She suddenly thought that her father had secret guards, and she could ask them to respond.
"Sister, doesn't Daddy still have secret guards? Daddy won't refuse to ask them to pick up Lord Nalan, right?"
Yes, daddy also has dozens of secret guards, and together they can definitely outnumber Baili Mingyu.
"An Yi, come here."
"My subordinate is here, what are your orders, young lady?"
"How about you go tell dad and ask him to send someone to pick up Ah Ling?" Xia Qingxin looked at An Yi with eyes full of hope.
An Yi frowned and disagreed a little. If Nalan Lingyu couldn't even pull off such a little trick, he was not worthy of the lady's liking. Such a man was too weak and had no ability to protect the lady. So what should he do?
She wins the world?
"Aren't you willing?" She also knew that her request was too much, but she still couldn't help but worry about him.
"It's not that I'm unwilling, I just think that such a scheme by Lord Nalan can be avoided. Don't you believe in Lord Nalan's strength?"
"That's what I said, but I'm still afraid of what might happen, so..."
"Sister Oxia, have you ever thought about it, if Mr. Hou passes time too fast, it will be the twenty-eighth of the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye, and the Chinese New Year will be coming in two days, and there is already a long way ahead (to be continued)
