C173 (1/2)
Nalan Duo'er saw a group of eunuchs following behind Qian Er, holding all sorts of boxes, which were filled with gold, jewelry, silk and all sorts of expensive medicinal herbs.
”Didn't I tell you to invite the emperor? What are these things you brought back? ”
Nalan Duo'er's tone was overcast, her eyes staring straight at Qian Er's pale little face.
Hearing Nalan Duo'er's words, Qian Er's face changed, to the point that she was about to cry.
”Reporting to the Imperial Consort Lan, this servant, this servant is useless. Your majesty, the emperor isn't coming …”
Qian Er practically forced herself to say these words, as she buried his head very deeply, not daring to raise his head to look at Nalan Duo'er.
Nalan Duo'er was furious after hearing that. She slapped the bed hard, and got off the bed with big strides, fiercely slapping Qian Er on the face.
Crack * A crisp sound landed on Qian Er's face, and instantly, a crimson-colored five-fingered mountain landed on Qian Er's small, pure white face.
”The Imperial Consort Lan will spare us, the Imperial Consort Lan will spare us. If the Emperor insists on not coming, then this servant has no other choice.”
Qian Er said with tears streaming down her face.
”You piece of trash! What are you going to do with these broken rewards?! ”
A trace of killing intent flashed across Nalan Duo'er's eyes. As she said that, she glared at Qian Er.
Qian Er trembled, her face filled with fear.
”Your servant is trash, your servant is trash.”
Qian Er did not dare to reply, and could only agree to what Nalan Duo'er said one after another.
The more Nalan Duo'er looked at Qian Er, the angrier she got. Gritting her teeth in anger, she ordered her two little palace maid s to stand in front of Qian Er.
”Men, give her a few hard slaps right now!”
The moment Nalan Duo'er said this, several palace maids and eunuchs immediately rushed forward and surrounded Qian Er, and started to slap him in the face one by one.
”You damned girl, let's see if you dare to do that again in the future!”
The young eunuchs were still holding grudges against Qian Er for gaining power, and when they slapped him, they did not hold back at all.
After being hit, Qian Er only felt a trace of sweetness from the corner of his mouth as fresh blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth, all the way until she felt that she had lost consciousness.
”Imperial Consort Lan, Imperial Consort Lan, this servant doesn't dare to do it again, I don't dare …”
Qian Er felt that her head was buzzing. She was worried that she would faint if she continued to hit her, so she begged for mercy.
Seeing that Qian Er's face was swollen, the previously tender white face was now as swollen as a steamed bun, causing Nalan Duo'er's tone to soften.
”Let's stop. It's about time.”
When Nalan Duo'er said this, the young eunuchs seemed to be somewhat unwilling to let go. There was even a young eunuch who took advantage of the moment when Nalan Duo'er wasn't paying attention and slapped Qian Er a lot.
Qian Er was already drowsy as she knelt on the ground, as if she was a floating fallen leaf that was on the verge of falling.
”If you can't do what I give you in the future, this will be the result. Do you understand?”
As Nalan Duo'er spoke, her expression flashed with a hint of gloominess.
Qian Er carefully nodded, she was even worried that she would fall down.
”Did the emperor say why he didn't come?”
Nalan Duo'er let out a light sigh, and the expression on her face became even more gloomy and cold. The other people within the Purple Palace also buried their heads in their own, not daring to breathe.
Qian Er wanted to open her mouth to say something, but her face had already lost her intuition.
”Imperial Consort Lan, His Majesty only said that he was busy with government affairs. He didn't say anything else.”
When those words came out, Nalan Duo'er was so angry that she grabbed the teacup on the table and smashed it onto the ground. Immediately, the jade cup shattered into pieces.
All the palace maids trembled in fear.
In this Purple Palace, who didn't know the temper of the Imperial Consort Lan, who would dare be rash? When the Imperial Consort Lan was enraged, it was like a volcano erupting. Everyone had to be well-behaved, or else there would be only death waiting for them.
”The government is busy, why didn't I see him busy when I went to see the empress?!”
Nalan Duo'er was in a terrible mood, she hated that she couldn't immediately rush to the imperial study and grab onto Xuanyuan Zhiling's Purple Palace.
At this time, Nalan Duo'er suddenly thought back to the time when she was kidnapped earlier in the day. That man told him to stop there as soon as she came out from the Empress's place and met him.
Thinking of this, Nalan Duo'er's expression quickly flashed with a hint of coldness.
”Qin Feng, this time, your weakness has fallen into my hands.”
Nalan Duo'er muttered to herself, a proud look quickly flashed across her face.
Speaking to here, Nalan Duo'er looked down at the kneeling Qian Er, and at this moment, Qian Er was already in a difficult position.
”Qian Er, I'll give you one more thing. If you can do it well, I'll reward you.”
Nalan Duo'er's entire body shivered when she heard that, how could Qian Er still go out to meet others with her current condition? Thinking of this, Qian Er's expression became somewhat difficult.
But Nalan Duo'er had already given the order, how could Qian Er dare to go against it?
”Remember, you better cover up the wounds on your face and go back. Otherwise, if this gets out, you're dead.”
With that said, Qian Er did not dare delay any further, and went down to recuperate her injuries.
Nalan Duo'er was the only one left in the Purple Palace. At this moment, she had a complicated expression on her face, which carried a trace of ruthlessness. She had to become someone's concubine, otherwise, it would be a waste for her to enter the palace.
In the imperial study, Xuanyuan Zhiling put down the last report in his hand and rubbed his temples.
”Your majesty, you've been busy all day. Do you want to go for a walk?”
The little eunuch by the side, Xiao Linzi, asked out of concern.
Xuanyuan Zhiling sighed softly, a complicated expression flashing across his face.
”Alright, how about this, we'll control the Blue Bird Hall.”
