Chapter 29(1/2)
Along the way, Li Yi held Qi Yue's coral bead earrings in his hand. The bright red and warm bead felt extremely comfortable in the palm of his hand.
This stubborn little woman should have deliberately put her earrings down, then lured him to pick them up, and lured him to Zhengyang Palace.
For some reason, he liked her little tricks very much. When he thought about it carefully, Qi Yue was still very cute.
When Li Yi came in, he happened to see Yu Miaowan in the yard being blamed for being beaten. Because the queen gave an order to kill the person, the people in the palace dared not refuse to obey. Every time they hit, they used a lot of effort.
When Li Yi passed by, he could smell a strong smell of blood.
Li Yi paused, and when the palace people saw the emperor, they knelt down one after another. Yu Miaowan was beaten to death with a cloth stick in her mouth, and her tears were swollen eyes that had been dissipated.
Li Yi narrowed his narrow eyes and said, "What's going on?"
"This palace maid violated the palace rules, and the queen wanted to kill her."
Fang Lu saw that the emperor's face turned cold and was a little confused about the emperor's thoughts for a moment.
After Li Yi entered, Qi Yue was lying on the throne, casually counting the crystals on the bracelet. Seeing him, Qi Yue got up lazy.
"I have seen Your Majesty."
Li Yi held Qi Yue's arm and made people get up. His voice became a little cold: "Why did the palace maid outside provoke you? She was dragged out to death with a stick."
Qi Yue said: "She stole my concubine's things and according to the palace rules, she should be killed by a stick."
Li Yi looked at Qi Yue's delicate and cold eyebrows and eyes, and she answered casually, with such a cold expression, as if this life had nothing to do with her at all.
And even if the other women he had met had too many scheming, they would not just treat human life as casually as grass.
At this moment, Li Yi finally deepened his cognition. No matter how delicate the little girl in front of him still had a ferocious heart.
The femme fatale should refer to Qi Yue.
Li Yi said: "In your eyes, wealth is more important than life?"
"In my eyes, rules are more important than the life of this palace maid." Qi Yue said coldly, "If the rules are in chaos, it will not only affect this life, but also dozens or hundreds of lives."
It is true that what Qi Yue said makes sense, but Li Yi is still a little disappointed.
He knew that Qi Yue and Empress Dowager Qi were the same women. The people from the Qi family were the same cold-blooded, the same greedy for power, and the same unscrupulous way!
Li Yi snorted coldly, threw Qi Yue's red coral earrings to the ground, and turned around and left.
Qi Yue only heard a slight sound when the coral earrings fell to the ground, and her brows frowned.
She doesn't like to please people, and she doesn't like to coax people, but Li Yi is an old man and an emperor. As a concubine, she wants to obey and four virtues. When the emperor is angry, she wants to coax people very much.
Although Qi Yue didn't want to coax her, she had to do it.
She stepped forward and grabbed the corner of Li Yi's clothes: "Your Majesty."
Li Yi could easily break free. After hesitating for a moment, he was unwilling to do so.
"If you want to explain, explain quickly." Li Yi said, "I have to deal with all kinds of things every day and have a lot of things to do, and I don't have time to delay you."
"I am not in the mood to explain now." Qi Yue's soft hand slid forward from the corner of Li Yi's clothes. Her hand was pressed on Li Yi's chest and her head was also pressed on Li Yi's back. "However, I have a little secret to tell you, do you want to listen?"
Her body was soft and seemed to have no bones, and she had an attractive fragrance on her body.
Such a natural beauty changed Li Yi's topic bit by bit. If he were just an ordinary man, he would have kneeled under her pomegranate skirt and let her do whatever she wants.
But he is not.
Li Yi held Qi Yue's hand slenderly and vigorously. Her skin was as crystal clear as snow, but he was wheat-colored, which contrasted with each other and showed her tenderness and softness.
Qi Yue's long eyelashes flashed: "It hurts..."
"I won't eat your beauty plan." Li Yi said, "Queen, please do your own things."
Li Yi is not as stupid as the late emperor.
All the daughters of Qi were beautiful and beautiful, like banished immortals, while others were as beautiful as peaches and plums, and cold as ice. Queen Mother Qi was beautiful when she was young, and there were countless beauties in the harem, and she loved them all. The late emperor favored Queen Mother Qi, and even knew about Queen Mother Qi's crimes, he still regarded Queen Mother Qi as his heart and turned a blind eye to what Queen Mother Qi did.
Li Yi couldn't do it. If he instigated the queen to kill the palace servants at will today, this ungrateful little girl might kill more people.
Qi Yue pulled the corner of his clothes again: "Li Yi, will you never come again?"
Her voice was very light and very nice.
Li Yi felt a little sad. Over the years, no one would call him by his name directly. Qi Yue should be the first one.
But he didn't look back: "Queen, please do your own thing."
After the person left, Qi Yue sat back again. Her fingers gently hit the handrail of the throne, and the sound was crisp. Aunt Yun hesitated for a while before picking up the red coral earrings that Li Yi had just thrown on the ground: "Empress, why are you angry with Your Majesty? He is the king of a country and has countless things to deal with. He has never paid attention to the women in the harem. Now Your Majesty is also very good to you, why don't you obey Your Majesty?"
Qi Yue's expression was still the same, and she closed her eyes: "I want to eat a bowl of Tremella Lotus Soup."
Aunt Yun said, "Okay, I will prepare now."
The red coral earrings that were picked up were placed on the table. Qi Yue pressed her fingertips lightly for a few times, and her eyes were shimmering.
When Li Yi went out, the man had been beaten to death. Several eunuchs dragged the man out, and the air was still bloody.
I could vaguely hear several palace maids saying, "Come and clean up soon, remember to sprinkle water. The Queen likes to clean it the most."
A trace of indescribable resistance appeared in Li Yi's heart.
The queen likes to be clean the most, but her hands are never clean and covered with blood stains.
But what the little girl said just now seemed to appear in his ears again, and she said, "Li Yi, are you never coming again?"
Has he really never come again?
The little girl's voice was so nice, like the wind blowing from the snow-capped mountains. It only stayed in his ears for a moment and could never come back.
Li Yi decided that he would never come to the queen again, and would never indulge this little girl with a bad mind.
Didn’t she want to hang him? He just didn’t hang him, and he wouldn’t be fooled by her.
Li Yi strides away.
As soon as Li Yi left, Xiang Qing, the great palace maid in Yuhua Palace, came over. Xiang Qing knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Empress, the concubine said that the palace maid Geng Han in your palace failed to seduce Your Majesty and was disrespectful to the concubine, so the concubine detained this ungrateful palace maid."
Qi Yue nodded and said lazily: "Very good. After you go back, remember to tell the imperial concubine that in Zhengyang Palace, a palace maid stole the jewelry of my palace and was killed by the palace. This palace maid is called Yu Miaowan."
Xiangqing retreated.
In Yuhua Palace, Concubine Yan personally lit the peacock wood carving. Before Liu's anger disappeared, she asked sternly, "What did the queen say?"
Xiangqing said: "The queen just said that she executed a stolen palace maid, and that palace maid was Yu Miaowan."
In an instant, Concubine Yan's fingers closed together, her face extremely gloomy: "Okay, it turns out that she has long..."
First, Geng Han came back and seduced Li Yi in front of Concubine Yan but failed. Concubine Yan had just killed Geng Han, but in the Zhengyang Palace, Yu Miaowan was immediately killed.
On the same day, at about the same time, two eyeliners placed by Concubine Yan in Zhengyang Palace were killed. How could it be a coincidence?
The biggest possibility is that Concubine Yan's two eyeliners had long been discovered, and Geng Han and Yu Miaowan had long been played with by the queen.
Now that both have been killed, Concubine Yan has specially asked Concubine Yan to deal with the smartest one, which is equivalent to slapping her Concubine Yan in the face.
With this incident, Concubine Yan wanted to arrange someone to enter Zhengyang Palace, which was even more difficult.
Concubine Yan has been in the palace for so many years, but has she ever suffered such humiliation? She has always targeted others and framed them. She was played with her for the first time and slapped her with a big ear on her face. For a moment, Concubine Yan was so angry that she trembled all over.
Xiangqing comforted, "Empress, this is just a trivial matter. Please relax and put your body first..."
Concubine Yan slapped Xiang Qing in the face: "Bitch, what do you understand?"
Xiangqing quickly knelt down.
This is the first time Xunxue has seen Emperor Yuanshou get so angry with the queen, although it is not very big.
Even when she delivered tea, she was cautious, for fear of touching the queen's reverse scales.
But the queen looked as usual, still as usual, and she ate two more bites of rice while eating.
Xunxue whispered: "Empress, you have eaten too much, should you go out for a walk and eat?"
Qi Yue was too lazy to move: "No, I want to sleep."
Xunxue refused to give in: "Don't, Empress, you will sleep after eating, and a lot of meat will grow on your belly. If you get fat, you will not be beautiful."
A snow-seeking man buzzed, making everyone's head full of noise. Qi Yue had no choice but to take a walk in the yard.
Xunxue said: "Empress, Your Majesty has fired a lot today and went back. Don't you go to Hanyuan Palace to coax it?"
Qi Yue said: "I'm afraid that no one is allowed to enter Hanyuan Palace now."
She thought to herself that Li Yi's temper was spoiled. She also had a temper, so why should she spoil him? Men like to be mean, so they are cold and they will change after sitting on the bench for a few days.
Li Yi went to Hanyuan Palace with a cold face and ordered in a cold voice: "If there is a concubine, just move out the palace rules and not allow her to come in!"
Fang Lu thought to himself that the queen was so cold, so she probably wouldn't come, but on the surface, Fang Lu still responded: "Oh, I know, I'll continue to give you this."
An hour later, Li Yi put down the booklet in his hand: "Is there any concubine outside who doesn't know the rules?"
Fang Lu knew it in his heart, but he couldn't show it on his face. After he went out, he actually met a concubine, who was Concubine De.
Concubine De and Concubine Zhou Xian have a good relationship. Now Concubine Zhou has been demoted to Concubine Zhou. Concubine De does not want to help Concubine Zhou, but she wants to take this opportunity to meet the emperor.
Concubine De smiled and said, "Eunuch Fang, can Your Majesty be inside? I want to see Your Majesty."
Fang Lu said: "Empress Defei, there are rules in Hanyuan Palace, you cannot enter and exit at will."
