Don’t Mess with the Tough Lady

Feng Xuanche let out a long sigh, he bent down and tried to reach out to pull Du Xuechun up, but Du Xuechun refused him.

"Come here." Feng Xuanche let go of his clenched fists, turned and left the room. "The queen empress is tired, send her back."

In the room, Du Xuechun still stubbornly knelt there.

"Manny, what's wrong with you?"

Mingying saw the sadness in her master's eyes, as well as the tears in her eyes.

It wasn't until Mingying's hand held Du Xuechun's cold hands that Du Xuechun regained consciousness afterwards. She blinked her eyes, and tears fell drop by drop from the peach blossom eyes.

"Mingying, what should I do?"

She suddenly discovered that the feelings she cherished were nothing but this. She was severely hurt by men in the previous life. Why would she still believe in men in this life?

Thinking of this, Du Xuechun only felt pitiful and ridiculous.

Mingying was very worried about her. "Niang Niang, let's go back, it's cold on the ground."

Du Xuechun got up, the emotions in his eyes were a little unclear, "Go tell the emperor, this palace is unwell, and I want to stay quiet these two days."

Mingying was stunned and nodded in agreement.

...

In the next few days, the queen's Kunning Palace was very quiet, and the concubines in the harem did not come to visit, not even the emperor.

For this reason, everyone in the harem has begun to circulate various stories between the two emperors and queens.

Some people say that this was when the Queen Empress was assassinated that day, because she sheltered an assassin, she offended the emperor.

It was also said that this was because the emperor was dissatisfied with what Prime Minister Du did, so he cast all his anger on the queen.

The queen fell ill in Kunning Palace, and for a while, concubine Shu Zhang Wan'er became the object of everyone's curiosity.

"Niangniang, this is red ginseng tea, drink it while it is hot." The palace maid carefully placed the brewed tea in front of Zhang Wan'er.

"Let it go for a while."

Zhang Waner's slender fingers pressed her temples, and her eyes narrowed.

When the maid was about to leave, she saw a bright yellow figure in the courtyard outside the door.

"emperor……"

She knelt on the ground, trying to salute Feng Xuan Che, but Feng Xuan Che raised her hand to signal the palace lady to be quieter.

Then he asked, "Where is your empress?"

The lady of the court replied cautiously: "Enjoy the emperor, the empress has just finished her work, and now she is resting in the room."

Feng Xuanche nodded and waved his hand to make the maid leave and turn into Concubine Shu's room.

When I arrived at the room, I saw Zhang Wan'er as if very tired, sitting in front of the pear wood table, pressing her temple with one hand, and placing the other hand on the table, beating constantly.

The afternoon sun shone on her body, adding a bit of soft breath. This harem has never been a stable time, but Wan'er's temperament has been tempered a little bit recently.

"It's so hard, why don't you go to rest?" Feng Xuan Che stood there and said.

"The emperor, why are you here?" Zhang Wan'er hurriedly bowed down and bowed, but was stopped by Feng Xuan Che.

Zhang Wan'er turned around and looked at the sun outside the window in the middle of the sky, "At this hour, shouldn't the emperor be talking with the ministers now?"

"Today ends early, come and see Concubine Ai if you have nothing to do." Feng Xuan Che sat opposite Zhang Wan'er, his eyes falling on the tea on the table. "This tea is going to be cold, so drink it earlier."

"Yes, the emperor." Zhang Wan'er was flattered, and quickly picked up the red ginseng and drank it cleanly.

Feng Xuan Che took the initiative to come to her for the first time, and she was naturally a little bit happy in her heart. However, there is still little experience, Zhang Wan'er has a little restraint in her gestures.

After sitting for a while, Feng Xuan Che took the initiative to break the silence between the two, "Is there nothing else in the harem for these two days?"

"The harem has been stable for the past two days. There is nothing aside." Zhang Wan'er thought for a while and answered Feng Xuanche's question, but with a little hesitation in her expression, "It's just..."

"What is it?" Feng Xuanche asked.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wan'er immediately knelt in front of Feng Xuanche, "The concubine asked the emperor for sin. Today is the last day of the three-day period, but the sister of the concubine Xian did not plead guilty."

"Chen concubine..." Zhang Wan'er was embarrassed a bit hard to speak. After all, she had been in close contact with Xu Qiuqiu before.

Now Xu Qiuqiu is in trouble, although she can't help this, but she can't get into trouble.

She can still master the sense of being kind to others, especially in front of the emperor.

"Don't worry." Feng Xuanche knew Zhang Wan'er was embarrassed, so he said with a deep eyebrow, "Now in this sixth house, you have the right to be in charge. You have to relax and do things. In the palace, I It's your backer, and no one else should be afraid."

Because of Feng Xuan Che's encouragement, Zhang Wan'er had the courage to continue.

"Although the court concubine has evidence to prove this matter, the sister of the concubine Xian still calls for grievances every day and says that she must see the emperor."

Without mentioning Xu Qiuqiu, Feng Xuanche had forgotten her. He squinted and closed his eyes and thought about Xu Qiuqiu, but he might not be able to match that fuzzy face in his mind.

After all, it is not even dewy love...

At the same time, in a room on the other side of Yanxi Palace.

"Is it sure that Concubine Xian did this?" Du Qingheng looked down at his scallion fingers and said casually: "On the third day today, I don't know what the emperor will do."

There was no one else in the room, only the little **** Mu Shen stood by.

"Niangniang, the emperor will definitely make a decision today." Mu Shen lowered his head, "As for this result, Niangniang must like it."

"You mean, the emperor will abandon the concubine?"

Du Qingheng shook his head in disbelief, and then turned his scrutiny gaze on Mu Chen's body.

"Niang Niang, Empress Xian Niang Niang's father Xu Jilang was laid off at home some time ago, which means that Concubine Xian has no support in the harem."

"So, in this cannibalistic palace, only power can protect yourself." Du Qingheng nodded.

"Mu Shen?" After a while of silence, Du Qingheng suddenly spoke meaningfully to Mu Chen who was beside him: "In this harem, can this palace trust you?"

Hearing this, Mu Shen knelt down immediately. "Niang Niang, the minion will definitely do your filial piety for you."

"it is good."

"It's just, Niang Ni..." Mu Chen said hesitantly.

"Don't worry, since this palace promised you not to ask the reason, then I only ask about the result in this harem, not the process."

After hearing Du Qingheng's words like this, Mu Chen let go of his hanging heart, "Minion thank you Niang Niang."

Du Qingheng got up suddenly, walked to the front of Mu Chen, then bent down and put his slender fingers on Mu Chen's chin.

"Mu Chen, this palace wants you to remember that this life was given to you by this palace. Whether you can live or not depends on what this palace thinks." As he said, Du Qingheng's finger passed Mu Chen's cheek.

"If something is discovered by this palace one day, this life will be taken back at any time by this palace."

This is the first time Du Qingheng has fully revealed her thoughts in front of a servant. She has her teeth and claws open, and she is covered in armor, just don't want to lose to Du Xuechun again.

"Yes, Concubine Liang."

Mu Chen squatted his head steadily at Du Qingheng.
