Qin Chen's words immediately ignited the smell of gunpowder in the entire Blue Bird Hall, and the atmosphere inside the Blue Bird Hall immediately became even more terrifying, as if a small match could light everything ablaze and then explode.
”Qin Chen, don't speak nonsense.” Although Qin Feng thought the same as Qin Chen, as the empress, Qin Feng could not have such an attitude. She was trying her best to remain calm, and maintain the attitude that a empress like her ought to have.
At this moment, Qin Feng really wanted to be an extremely ordinary woman. If she was an ordinary woman, the most ordinary woman under the heavens, she could rush up to Liu Yue and quarrel with him for a long time, and take back her man. But Xuanyuan Zhiling was the emperor, he controlled the entire Phantom Fire Kingdom, and everyone was looking at them.
”empress, is this how your servant treats her? No matter what, chenqie is still an imperial concubine. How about a young maidservant reprimanding chenqie?! ” Liu Yue's face immediately stiffened, her eyes stared straight at Qin Chen like sharp blades.
Qin Chen had practiced martial arts since she was young, and had never understood the concept of bowing and kneeling to anyone other than her own master.
”Imperial Consort Li, stop arguing with a servant girl. Even if you are angry, it is not good for the child in your stomach. Calm down.” 's tone was neither too harsh nor too indifferent. Today, Qin Feng could already restrain her emotions, but she could still faintly feel the pain in her heart right now.
When Imperial Consort Li heard Qin Feng's words, the corners of her mouth lifted into a faint smile.
”I even heard what empress said, but chenqie came today to ask empress to bless chenqie's child. This is all because of the Emperor coming to the Purple Palace, he told chenqie that the empress has ulterior motives, chenqie doesn't believe him …” When Liu Yue said this, she had an extremely troubled look, and her expression quickly flashed a trace of coldness.
Qin Feng was shocked, she could not believe the truth before her eyes.
”What did you say?” ”The emperor said that I have ulterior motives?” Qin Feng frowned, and asked with a questioning tone, her eyes stared straight at Liu Yue's face for a moment longer, unwilling to let go. Liu Yue occasionally sized up Qin Feng's expression. Seeing Qin Feng's expression, a proud look flashed across her face.
Liu Yue nodded her head, and said carefully: ”The emperor is saying that he is concerned about this concubine, and he did not point that out to you directly. But this concubine does not believe that this empress is such a person, after all, this concubine has still saved your life before.” Liu Yue looked at Qin Feng, and each word was spoken like a steel needle, viciously stabbing into Qin Feng's heart.
”Hmph, my words would not let Imperial Consort Li successfully give birth to a child!” Qin Feng panted heavily. She could no longer continue acting like this, like she was a mother to the world, like she was being magnanimous, she no longer wanted to pretend to be anything else. She just wanted to vent her current feelings.
Slapping the table fiercely, Qin Feng left with a flap of her sleeves. Before leaving, he shouted loudly: ”Qin Chen, send our guests off now!” After saying that, Qin Feng went into the inner hall, leaving a complacent Liu Yue behind.
”Empress Dowager Imperial Consort Li, empress has given the order, you should leave.” Although Imperial Consort Li suffered from Qin Feng's cold treatment, she still walked out from the Blue Bird Hall with a complacent expression on her face. Because her goal had already been achieved today.
As he walked out of the Blue Bird Hall s, a trace of complacency surfaced on Liu Yue's face.
But right now, Qin Feng was in a terrible mood, hiding inside the Inner Palace with tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
When the knock on the door sounded, Qin Feng was not in the mood to open the door at all.
”empress, open the door, you clearly know that Imperial Consort Li is here to show off, why would you let someone like her affect your mood? Since lunch is already prepared, shall we treat empress to lunch? ” Xiao Lian stood at the doorway and carefully interacted with Qin Feng, but Qin Feng didn't say a single word the entire time.
When Qin Chen saw this situation, he also went forward to persuade Qin Feng. ”empress, doesn't your hungry words make me even more proud?” Even though she was trying to goad them, there was still no sound from Qin Feng's bedchamber at all. This situation caused both Qin Chen and Xiao Lian to become anxious.
They didn't know what to do, because none of them had ever seen Qin Feng like this.
When Xuanyuan Zhiling was in the imperial study, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the door. Xuanyuan Zhiling frowned in displeasure, and a look of annoyance quickly flashed past his face.
”Who is making a scene at the door of the royal study? Do you not wish to live anymore!? ” Xuanyuan Zhiling shouted towards the entrance of the imperial study, and when the guards at the entrance heard Xuanyuan Zhiling's words, they carefully replied, ”It's the two little palace maid s by empress's side. They insisted on meeting His Majesty in person, and this servant said that you were at work, but …” When the guard at the door said this, he was once again entangled by the two little palace maid s.
Xuanyuan Zhiling was originally extremely unhappy, but he noticed that if the guards asked him, Qin Feng only had these two little palace maid s by her side. If they both came to the imperial study, then it would mean that Qin Feng really had something on her mind.
”Let them in.” Xuanyuan Zhiling suddenly had a bad premonition, and his heart became somewhat anxious.
Qin Chen and Xiao Lian still successfully met Xuanyuan Zhiling in the end.
”You two sure are gutsy. How dare you barge into the royal study without permission. Are you tired of living?” Although Xuanyuan Zhiling was questioning Xiao Lian and Qin Chen, his tone was still relatively calm.
Qin Chen and Xiao Lian both did not dare to speak, but Qin Chen had stayed in the palace for a very long time after all, so in the end, it was Qin Chen who explained the entire story.
”Your Majesty, the empress has locked herself in her room and has not come out. She doesn't even use her dinner. All of this is because the Imperial Consort Li had once visited the Blue Bird Hall during the day.” Qin Chen carefully explained the entire situation to Xuanyuan Zhiling.
When Xuanyuan Zhiling heard this, his expression immediately changed slightly.
