C58 (1/2)
Red walls, green tiles, high fangs.
The fragrance of flowers wafted in the air. The clear fragrance lightly wafted into the depths of the palace courtyard.
Consort Lee was sitting sideways on a stone chair in the pavilion. She was holding a handkerchief in her hand and covering her lips as her cold eyes slowly swept over her concubines who were seated in the hall.
Ye Zichen suddenly threw the words in his hand onto the ground, while a sullen expression surfaced on his face. What use do I have of all of you? You've been trying to drill your way in here all day, and yet you can't even think of a single idea! ”
Ever since the last incident, the emperor had never been indifferent to him. Even though he said that he was unfamiliar with him, he was far from being as intimate as he was before.
”The Empress is currently the head of the harem. If even you can't do anything about it, then the concubines … and there's really nothing we can do about it. ” An esteemed person of the first rank in the concubine class spoke the truth.
His cold eyes were like sharp blades as they shot straight at that noble man, ”How dare you! How dare you belittle me? The meaning of your words, is that my words right now cannot compare with that person in the Zichen Palace, and that person's words do not have any weight? ”
When that noble man saw Consort Lee's monstrous anger, he felt regretful that his mouth had hit the nail on the head while complaining in his heart, ”Chenqie is terrified. Chenqie means that the one in the Zichen Palace is really too seductive, and the Empress is the true beauty of the country. The Emperor's thoughts will sooner or later return to the Empress.”
The anger in Consort Lee had yet to dissipate, but just as she was about to speak out and teach the others a lesson, Honglan walked over quickly and whispered a few words into her ears, ”Mother …”
”Really?” Consort Lee looked up at Honglan, and the iciness in her eyes instantly melted away.
”It's absolutely true. The news spread throughout the Zichen Palace. There can't be any mistake.”
Consort Lee's rosy lips curved up in a charming smile, as if a great joyous occasion had occurred. ”Truly, it is fast and satisfying!”
”Empress, what is it that makes you so happy?” Some of the concubines asked tentatively when they saw Consort Lee's delighted look.
”The one in the Zichen Palace has suffered the wrath of the heavens, and is currently bedridden.” Consort Lee's eyes were twinkling. In this half month, she realized for the first time that the scenery in the garden was actually so beautiful.
”I seemed to have heard of this when I woke up earlier today. I thought it was some sort of rumor, but to think that it was actually true.” Some of the concubines immediately responded. Consort Lee was in a better mood, so their words naturally became more relaxed. There was no need to worry about the boundaries anymore.
”Liu Ruyan is dead. Now that the emperor is lacking people, your chance has come.” The Consort Lee glanced at the concubines beside her. Everyone understood what she meant and what she meant.
Just when the concubines were secretly rejoicing, no one noticed that Concubine Zhen's face had gradually turned pale. The flower beside her feet had fallen from her hand because of her shock just now.
Dragonheart Palace.
The golden pillar towered up, the dragon pattern engraved on it was incomparably exquisite.
