The abandoned wife of the noble family, she is Black Heart Lotus

Xiao Mingzhang looked at her hand holding his coldly, and said in an indifferent voice, "Let go."

Qi Mei's eyes were suddenly filled with grievances, she held his hand tighter and began to play the emotional card.

"No matter what, we are just childhood acquaintances. Mingzhang, there is no need for us to be so acquainted. You should know that I have been thinking about you all these years..."

Speaking of this, her face was full of hope, hoping that he could understand her heart and her feelings.

It's a pity that these emotions are like being thrown to a blind man, and Xiao Mingzhang is not fooled at all.

He sneered and said in a colder voice, "Let go!"

Qi Meizhi hated his incomprehensible attitude in her heart, but on her face she still let go of her hand aggrievedly.

"Mingzhang, I have no other intentions. I was the one who was sorry for you back then..."

Xiao Mingzhang coldly interrupted her ambiguous words, "Let me remind you that I have no shady relationship with you. Don't ruin my reputation by talking nonsense."

Qi Meizhi's face turned pale instantly. Why did he say something so hurtful?

Over the years, she had shown kindness countless times and wanted to get close to him, but he had ruthlessly rejected her.

If he hadn't married a wife and had no beautiful women by his side, she...

Xiao Mingzhang circled his hands and looked at her with a sneer, and suddenly he looked understanding.

"You don't think it's because of you that I haven't married for so many years, do you?"

Qimei was stunned when she heard this, wasn't she?

When the old emperor was still alive, she had been betrothed to him. Later, she felt that marrying an unpopular prince had no future, so she committed suicide and married his brother.

Later, she did earn the position of a noble concubine, but because of this experience, that old bitch Liu looked down on her in every possible way and tortured her in every possible way.

The dead husband was not a good thing. After he ascended the throne, he began to be extravagant and licentious. He no longer treated her as tenderly as before. He even once sent her to the cold palace because of the slander of other women.

Those days were unbearable to look back on, and she no longer had any affection for her damn husband.

Looking back, she realized that she still liked Xiao Mingzhang. His appearance and figure all fascinated her.

Seeing her self-righteous look, Xiao Mingzhang felt both ridiculous and quite disdainful.

"You think too highly of yourself. It has nothing to do with you whether or when I will marry a wife."

Qi Meizhi was immediately filled with shame and anger after being ridiculed in this way.

"Are you happy to belittle me like this?"

"I still say the same thing, you and I are in the same boat. Please remember your identity, Queen Mother, and don't go overboard."

Really not wanting to talk too much nonsense to her, he gave her some advice and left.

The fists under Qimei's sleeves were clenched. Did he have to embarrass her like this to feel comfortable?

Seeing that he was really about to leave, she quickly picked up her skirt and chased after him.

"Prince Regent, please don't leave. I still have something to discuss with you..."

Xiao Mingzhang stopped and looked at her from a distance.

"Queen Mother Qi, do you have any other instructions?"

Qi Meizhi did not approach him again this time, but took on the airs of the Queen Mother.

"Now that you are back, I know that this is all your fault. I want to appoint him to the position of commander of the Royal Forest Army."

Xiao Mingzhang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at her, "Whenever the exchange you promised to me is delivered to me, I will agree to your appointment."

Qi Meizhi frowned. If she handed over the last military talisman that the Qi family had mastered, she and her son would lose their greatest protection.

"I promised that I would hand it over to you three years later..."

She tried to stall for time.

Xiao Mingzhang sneered, "I didn't agree to your condition at that time."

In other words, if you want to use your own brother to protect the palace, you can, but the military power in the hands of the Qi family must be handed over.

After all, you can’t have your cake and eat it too.

Qi Meizhi played the emotional card again, "Mingzhang, don't be so cruel to me..."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

Xiao Mingzhang was unmoved, "Then let's continue to be a playboy for now." This time he quickened his pace and left directly. He didn't want to have too much contact with her.

"hateful!"

Qi Meizhi saw his hurried away figure and cursed bitterly.

The Empress Dowager Liu, who had not yet been taken to the cold palace, immediately laughed out loud after seeing such a good show.

When Qi Meizhi heard her sharp and unpleasant laughter, he turned around and looked at her fiercely.

"Old bitch, why are you laughing?"

Mrs. Liu immediately retorted, "Laughing at your overestimation of your abilities. Do you really think you are some kind of fairy beauty?"

"Old bitch!"

Qi Meizhi turned around and returned to the palace, raised her hand and slapped Mrs. Liu on the face.

Even though her face was swollen, Mrs. Liu did not change the smile on her face, but instead became more mysterious.

"Qimeizhi, let me tell you a secret."

Qi Meizhi frowned.

What does this old bitch have to say?

She was staring at her closely, but she was on guard in her heart.

"When you were pointed out to Tiansha Lone Star by Emperor Jingzong, did you think it was him who asked for it?"

Is not it?

Qi Meizhi frowned slightly. It was precisely because of this past incident that she always thought that she was Xiao Mingzhang's unrequited sweetheart.

The mockery on Mrs. Liu's face became even stronger, "The order to refer you to him came from me."

"what?"

Pray for the beauty of disbelief.

Her Qi family was not an ordinary person in the court back then, and whoever married her was also a big help. Would she, Mrs. Liu, be so kind to help Xiao Mingzhang?

Doesn’t she hate Xiao Mingzhang to death?

"There is not a word of truth in this man's mouth, so his tongue should be cut."

She ordered coldly.

Her confidant, Eunuch Zhang, immediately came out and took a knife to gouge out Liu's tongue.

Mrs. Liu watched with some horror as the eunuch approached her, but the majesty of the Empress Dowager did not allow her to lower her head and beg for mercy.

"Qimeizhi, I am your mother-in-law, you can't do this to me..."

Xiao Mingzhang, that wolf bastard, is in great power now, and there is nothing she can do if he does this, but why do you pray for beauty?

However, Qi Meizhi narrowed his eyes and mocked her, "Just because the person sitting on the throne now is my son, my biological son."

And your Liu family’s emperor’s son is already dead, and he was taken by force.

Can it be the same?

She held her head high and reached out to hold the maid's hand, urging her arrogantly.

"You still won't take action?"

Eunuch Zhang nodded towards his master, then immediately stepped forward and grabbed Mrs. Liu's chin, and inserted the knife in his hand into Mrs. Liu's mouth.

Mrs. Liu's eyes were full of fear and she struggled violently, but the eunuch holding her down also tightened his strength.

She couldn't struggle.

"what--"

Qi Meizhi watched Ms. Liu collapse on the ground and twitched like a dead fish, and he stepped forward to stomp on her a few times and let out a bad breath.

After torturing the old bitch, she turned around and left with satisfaction.

It was dawning soon. When Gu Deyin got up, he stretched and got out of bed with a little nostalgia.

Finally, I had to get up and prepare to go back to Xuanninghou Mansion.

When her carriage passed by the food market, she saw that it was quite busy here. She ordered the carriage to stop, slightly lifted the carriage curtain and took a look. (End of chapter)
