C18 (2/2)
”Hurry up, the wind. If you have anything else to say, sit down and talk.” The Queen took the hairpin from Qin Feng's hands and gently put it back on Qin Feng's hair.
”Thank you, empress.” Qin Feng got up and sat down.
The empress nodded at Qin Feng, then turned her head to look at Imperial Consort Li, and coldly asked, ”Does Imperial Consort Li still have anything else to say?”
Imperial Consort Li sighed in her heart, helplessly shook her head and said: ”It was chenqie who worried too much, I beg empress to forgive me.”
”You were careless, first of all, you lost the imperial golden hairpin, then of course you suspected the Fourth Prince Consort of being behind you. Furthermore, you had no respect and respect for me, regardless of whether you were young or old, you tried to bully me.
”Chenqie, accept your punishment.”
”Thank you empress for upholding justice for Qin Feng.”
After exiting the Imperial Consort Li Palace, the Empress immediately returned to her own palace and was escorted out by the Second Prince.
On the bluestone floor, Qin Feng walked at a neither a hurry nor a slow pace. Even though she already knew that there were too many troubles in the palace, she never thought that she would encounter something like this on her first day in the palace.
Even though Imperial Consort Li was punished today, and had finally extinguished his arrogance, Imperial Consort Li would definitely not let it go. After all, she would not be able to stop it for long, and she had already planned for a counterattack.
”Fourth Sister-in-Law? Fourth Sister-in-Law?” The Second Prince shouted a few times, and then, he called Qin Feng back to reality.
Qin Feng, who had regained her senses, felt lucky and asked: ”I wonder what business does Your Highness have with me?”
”Haha, what can this prince do? I wonder what Fourth Sister-in-Law was thinking just now that she was so engrossed in it?” Second Prince smiled like the spring wind, his gaze as gentle as water.
Qin Feng shook her head, then nodded and said: ”Actually I didn't think of anything else, but I was thinking about why everything was so coincidental. First, Fourth Prince was summoned by the emperor, then the palace maids of Imperial Consort Li appeared.
”The Fourth Sister-in-Law is truly meticulous. The coincidence within it can actually arouse your suspicion.” The Second Prince praised.
Qin Feng shook her head and said: ”It's not that I'm being too meticulous, it's just that it's too coincidental. If it's just a coincidence, then forget it, when these few things come together, it's definitely not a coincidence, but a person.”
”Oh, could it be the Imperial Consort Li? If you pull away the Fourth Emperor's brother, then you'll just happen to be alone and helpless. ” The Second Prince guessed.
Qin Feng looked at the Second Prince, laughed lightly, and expressed her own thoughts: ”If the later empress did not arrive, I would have thought that it was done by the Imperial Consort Li, but obviously that is not the case. Firstly, the Fourth Prince was summoned by the Emperor, and the Imperial Consort Li does not have that kind of ability to move the Emperor, secondly, what is the purpose of the empress coming to the Imperial Consort Li Palace? Until we came out of the empress, empress didn't seem to say anything. Moreover, if it was a sister who was walking around, why didn't she notify us? All of this is too deliberate, and people can't help but think about it too much. ”
”But why all this? If it wasn't done by the Imperial Consort Li, then who was it? The sudden appearance of the empress removed all your suspicions. Although the Imperial Consort Li was punished, it is still a small punishment. Second Prince asked, clearly confused.
Qin Feng was also feeling suspicious, could it be that she was overthinking things? If there really was someone doing it on purpose, then what was their goal? Moreover, this kind of scheme isn't considered small. If we incite the Imperial Consort Li, have the Emperor summon the Fourth Prince and arrange for the Empress to step in, then what would happen in the end? Qin Feng didn't know.
”I don't know. Perhaps all of this is just my imagination.” Qin Feng said to the Second Prince.
The Second Prince shrugged his shoulders and said to Qin Feng: ”This palace is truly full of schemes and scheming. I, Wu Yu, am truly a cunning person, and you have just entered the Imperial Family, so you have many things to take note of. If you are not careful, the consequences will be dire.”
”Thank you Second Prince for your advice. Qin Feng only wishes to live a peaceful life. ”Hai.” Qin Feng sighed. On the surface, he looked worried, but he also caused others to feel pity for him.
”Fourth Sister-in-law need not worry, I think Fourth Sister-in-law will definitely be able to protect you. Oh right, yesterday your Grand Wedding, I was unable to go because of official business, this bracelet originally wanted to personally send it to your house, but I didn't expect to see Fourth Sister-in-law today, I gift it here, I hope you do not mind.” Second Prince took out a rosewood box from his sleeve and handed it over to Qin Feng.
In the end, Qin Feng opened it and saw that it was an emerald green color.
Thank you Second Prince, it is getting late, the carriage is still waiting outside the palace, Qin Feng will be leaving first. Qin Feng kept the wooden box and bid farewell to Second Prince.
In the carriage, Qin Feng expressionlessly looked at the jade bracelet, and a disdainful smile appeared on her face. Qin Feng lifted the curtain and happened to be on the moat bridge. She used a handkerchief to wrap the bracelet and with a flick of her wrist, the moat began to splash water.
