Liu Yue clenched her fists tightly as she watched Xuanyuan Zhiling walk out by herself.

”He's still thinking about Qin Feng. Darned Qin Feng, there will be a day when I defeat you at my hands.” Liu Yue gritted her teeth and said, with a look of hatred on her face.

When she said that, Liu Yue had already decided to fight Qin Feng to the death.

Xuanyuan Zhiling hurriedly escaped from the Purple Palace and came to the imperial study where he could take a breath of air. At this moment, Xuanyuan Zhiling's expression finally eased up.

At this time, a guard at the entrance of the imperial study reported that Qiu Shangjing had come here to discuss an important matter.

”Your majesty, this humble subject has something to discuss with you.” Qiu Shangjing's tone carried a hint of a smile, and Xuanyuan Zhiling's expression immediately became unsightly. The current Xuanyuan Zhiling basically did not have the mood to discuss anything with Qiu Shangjing, and could only wholeheartedly focus on getting rid of Liu Yue.

Qiu Shangjing still entered in the end, because he had the privilege of entering and exiting the Imperial Palace whenever he wanted, including the imperial study of Xuanyuan Zhiling.

”I truly regret giving you that right back then. You are now truly becoming more and more arrogant.” Xuanyuan Zhiling said in displeasure after hearing the door open. Because he did not want to argue with Qiu Shangjing, Xuanyuan Zhiling deliberately did not look up at him.

Facing Xuanyuan Zhiling's cold expression, Qiu Shangjing felt a slight sense of loss.

”Your majesty, this humble subject knows what the emperor is worrying about. It's just that the Imperial Consort Li that just arrived at the Imperial Palace today is pregnant with a dragon.” Qiu Shangjing said slowly, with a complicated expression on his face.

Xuanyuan Zhiling's thoughts were instantly seen through by him, and he was completely stunned. He raised his eyes to look at Qiu Shangjing's extremely calm face.

”It is truly unable to escape your eyes. However, even if your eyes are even more venomous, it is still a real family matter. Do you, a senior minister, still need to meddle in my family's business?” Xuanyuan Zhiling's meaning was extremely clear, and there was a trace of gloominess in his expression.

However, Qiu Shangjing seemed to not care in the slightest as he said lightly, ”That's right, this is indeed your family matter, but your majesty, don't forget to be a spectator and see clearly.” Qiu Shangjing's words carried a deep meaning as he stared at Xuanyuan Zhiling.

Hearing Qiu Shangjing's words, Xuanyuan Zhiling's face immediately became ugly.

”This Emperor manages the entire world. Do you think this Emperor is confused?” Xuanyuan Zhiling's eyes stared straight at Qiu Shangjing, and said with a cold expression. Facing Xuanyuan Zhiling's cold words, Qiu Shangjing was not afraid at all, but he let out a shallow laugh.

”Your majesty, do you think that it is your dragon seed?” Especially some of the more scheming people. Do you think that Liu Yue is the type of person who doesn't have plans? ” Qiu Shangjing's eyes showed complicated emotions.

Xuanyuan Zhiling was startled when he heard this. He truly did not think much, but the reason for this was that this matter involved Qin Feng. As long as it involved Qin Feng, he would not be able to make a proper judgement of it.

”Indeed, I've never thought about this question, but I can't rule out the possibility that it's fake.” Xuanyuan Zhiling said with a bit of coldness between his brows. Qiu Shangjing's words were not without reason, but he had always been crafty and cunning. If he really wanted to find out whether or not she was real, then it would not be an easy matter.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Zhiling's attitude had softened, Qiu Shangjing's tone became much more gentle.

”Then what good idea do you have? Liu Yue is not someone that is easy to deal with, think it through with us first. ” As she said this, Xuanyuan Zhiling's expression became a bit ugly. To him, Liu Yue was like a hot potato.

Qiu Shangjing sighed, ”This subject still needs to consider, but this subject has an idea, the Emperor can do this.” Qiu Shangjing said, as he leaned close to Xuanyuan Zhiling's ear and whispered something.

As Xuanyuan Zhiling nodded, a smile quickly flashed past his face.

”Alright, I didn't expect you to have such a move. Even if you don't succeed, I still want to give it a try. Otherwise, wouldn't my harem be in chaos from now on?” When Xuanyuan Zhiling said till here, his expression suddenly became gloomy, but within that gloominess, there was also a trace of determination.

At this very moment, within the Blue Bird Hall, Qin Feng was seated at the side of the table, looking at Liu Yue who was sitting opposite to him.

”Why did Imperial Consort Li come to the Blue Bird Hall today?” Qin Feng's tone carried a tinge of coldness, but Qin Feng was already trying her best to remain calm.

Seeing Qin Feng's stiff face, a proud look flashed across Liu Yue's face.

”empress, please forgive me. Chenqie hasn't been feeling well all this time, I think empress knows that. Chenqie is already pregnant with the dragon seed, so it's not convenient for me to pay respects to you.” Liu Yue's words were clearly said to provoke Qin Feng, and Qin Feng's face instantly stiffened.

Qin Feng nodded her head, but could not smile no matter what.

”Fine, then the Imperial Consort Li Empress can refuse to bow. Since the body of the Imperial Consort Li Empress is so inconvenient, why did she come all the way here to my bedchamber? What does it have to do with anything urgent?” Qin Feng coldly looked at Liu Yue, but her heart was bleeding. She had already felt that her position in the imperial harem was in imminent danger.

The faces of Qin Chen and Xiao Lian who were standing behind him did not look good either. The atmosphere of the entire hall was extremely strange, to the point that they couldn't help but shiver.

”Chenqie is here to notify empress. When empress found out that Chenqie was pregnant with the Emperor's Dragon Seed, she had never even asked Chenqie about it. If I didn't have empress's blessing, wouldn't I be too unlucky?”

When Liu Yue said this, his face was full of satisfaction. That look of contempt when she looked at Qin Feng instantly shattered her heart.

”Empress, please do not go overboard. Our empress did not punish you for your crimes because you were pregnant with the dragon's seed.” Qin Chen finally could not hold it in and blurted out.
