All Chapters of Empresses in the Palace: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

“How can’t it be?” After half a day, when Yun Fenghuang returned to Xi Xing Building, she lazily said while drinking the tea taken from Ning Bi Hall, “Mr. Ling Shan was nicely treated and received great kindness from the late Emperor, but he fled to his hometown when the late Emperor needed him the most... Even if he was on the excuse of being in mourning for his mother’s death, the discerning people of this country could easily tell what was going on. Although His Majesty is not the biological son of the former Emperor, an adapted son is equivalent to a biological son. His Majesty is willing to accept him regardless of the previous enmities, so how can he refuse His Majesty?”Xi Le said, “Gui Ren, please forgive my ignorance. Although Prince Regent is not of supremacy, his situation is better than His Majesty’s now. I really can’t understand. Mr. Ling Shan has already chosen Prince Regent’s Mansion, why will he accept His Majesty’s solicitation?”After all

In the evening, Chen Sheng got some information. Emperor Chunjia really went to Mian Fu Palace to look after Queen Mother of Honor, but Queen Mother Ji let him leave before long. According to the arrangement of the Empress, he should sleep at Rong Hua Wei’s residence in Yi Jia Palace.Yun Fenghuang sneered, “If so, Rong Hua Wei won’t talk to me jealously tomorrow... Well, I forget that we don’t need to pay respects tomorrow.”She was not very concerned about Queen Mother Ji’s health, because two days ago, Queen Mother Ji looked really well when she paid respects to her. It was estimated that she was at most had an ailment, such as cold. She would be fine in just three or two days, and the ailment wouldn’t be a big deal.So, after Chen Sheng finished reporting, she gave some tips to him and waved him to leave. She also enjoined Xi Le to leave. After that, she thought about the next step alone.So far, her plan had proceeded smoothly

Qi Jiulu was 18 years old, as young as Gongxiang Xiao. He was gorgeous and handsome, and his thin face looked like it was carved perfectly. Maybe because he was born in the north where most people were strong, he was half a head taller than Gongxiang Xiao. Although he was dressed as a scholar, it was easy to see his tall and strong figure.After entering the room, he saluted with his hands folded in front. Seeing Gongxiang Xiao waving his hand, he tilted his robe and took a seat laconically.As he sat down, he smiled, “How is it going? She only agreed to see me because you mentioned her sister, right?”“Not only that.” Gongxiang Xiao looked weird, “She even suggested I should kill you!”Finishing the words, he held the tea bowl and blew the floated tea fragments, waiting to see how upset Qi Jiulu would be.However, Qi Jiulu was not surprised, saying, “That is her temper indeed. Fortunately, it was you who visited her.

Yun Fenghuang smilingly rewarded the eunuch for delivering the message, and then ordered other maids to perform their duties, leaving only Xi Le. She then stopped her smiling and snorted, “His Majesty is really affectionate. It was only two days passed that he couldn’t help visiting me. I was so lucky that I can rely on Her Highness. Otherwise, if those who are jealous of me tell this to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager would think that I am a siren who always gets His Majesty bewitched!”Xi Le advised, “When we go back to Ning Bi Hall later, we can tell Jie Yu Yue that His Majesty always comes here, so Her Highness and others are more suspicious. We can let Jie Yu Yue persuade him not to come here, especially not to use you as a scapegoat.”“That won’t be necessary.” Yun Fenghuang stared at the doorway with one hand supporting her chin and said lazily, “Since His Majesty is not afraid of irritating the Queen Mother, why should I be afraid?”

“What do you want to say?” Yun Fenghuang tried to free herself several times but failed. Instead, she felt that his thumb gently rubbed her wrist. She was furious, and slapped him again with the other hand. She sneered, “Are you gonna tell me that you want me to forgive you because the curse came true and therefore you have no offspring? Or that Chao Jingyou didn’t vent all her aggrievance on me when she came to Xie’s Family before, so she wants you here to revenge for her?!”Qi Jiulu wanted to dodge this time, but stopped suddenly, because he softened for seeing her anger. He took the slap again and then frowned, “Chao Jingyou has gone to Xie’s Family to embarrass you?”He was indifferent when mentioning his newly-wedded wife, showing no affection. Noticing that, Yun Fenghuang sneered secretly. She said coldly, “It has never been a secret that she was jealous of me, so how could she miss the opportunity to laugh at me?! You don’t pretend to be muddled!”
