Lying on the bed, Imperial Concubine Rong's face was a little pale. At this moment, she was like a tiger that had lost its fangs, and could no longer find the fierceness of the past…
"How does the Imperial Consort feel?" Sitting by the bed and looking at her pale face, Jing Hao's eyes were filled with indescribable emotions. Recalling the Prime Minister's words in the royal study today, Jing Hao's brows unconsciously furrowed.
" Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine's body is already thin and weak. Now that she has been in the water for a long time, if she doesn't take good care of herself in the future, I'm afraid she will…" Kneeling on the ground, Imperial Physician Zhang said unhurriedly. He was tired of watching the consorts fighting for favor in the palace. As long as there were benefits, he would turn a blind eye.
Seeing Jing Hao wave his hand, Imperial Physician Zhang respectfully retreated.
" Your Majesty..." Imperial Concubine Rong opened her eyes slowly when she did not hear Jing Hao's voice. Her face was still frighteningly pale...
Hearing her voice, Jing Hao turned to look at her, waiting for her to continue.
"Emperor, ChenQie believes that Younger Sister Lan Fei did not do it on purpose, but if she is not punished this time, there will definitely be a next time!!!”At the mention of Su Qingyu, Imperial Concubine Rong's eyes flashed with a cold light.
" This matter…Let me think about it first. After all, the General's side is also…" For some reason, Jing Hao felt a trace of pity for Su Qingyu…
Indeed, if the punishment was severe, the Emperor would not be able to explain it to the General. However, even so, it was hard to guarantee that he would not have any selfish motives towards Su Qingyu…
"Rest first. Zhen will come to see you tomorrow!”
It was already late outside, and Jing Hao was determined not to stay in the Everlasting Palace. He had just reached the imperial garden when he ordered Eunuch Li to lead the Snow Earth Palace. He wanted to hear Su Qingyu's explanation.
"Niangniang, the weather is gradually turning cold. It's better to put on some clothes at night!”Wu Ye took out a pink shirt with deep concern.
She smiled and nodded. Su Qingyu couldn't help but feel a warmth in her heart. This…seemed to be the first person who cared about her so much after she transmigrated. Even his parents did the same.
"Silly girl, it's so late. Why aren't you resting?”
"If the Empress doesn't sleep, how can this servant dare to sleep first!”
"In the future, you don't have to follow me this late. If you're tired, just sleep by yourself, understand?”Walking into the inner hall with Wu Ye, Su Qingyu spoke in a caring tone like an older sister.
Wu Ye nodded obediently. Just as she was about to say something, she heard the voice of " The Emperor has arrived " from outside.
" Empress…" Wu Ye raised her head and looked at Su Qingyu worriedly.
"It's fine. Go and rest first. I know what to do!" Naturally, she knew what she was worried about. Su Qingyu smiled and sent her off to bed. What should come would come, but…would he really punish people indiscriminately?
Sitting on the chaise lounge, Su Qingyu calmly met Jing Hao's scrutinizing gaze. The two of them were in a deadlock for a while before Jing Hao took the lead and said,"Don't you have anything to explain about what happened this morning?”
"If I explain, will you believe me?”With a questioning tone, Su Qingyu stared straight at him.
After a long while, just as Su Qingyu was about to give up in disappointment, Jing Hao coldly spat out two words,"I believe you!"
Su Qingyu was stunned for a moment as if she did not expect him to say that. Her eyes widened in disbelief. He…was what he said true? But since he believed her, why did he come to her in the middle of the night? Hehe, men just like to say one thing and mean another!
"Consort Lan doesn't seem to want to explain to me? Do you think that Zhen will side with the Imperial Consort?”
Shaking her head, Su Qingyu nodded.
"No, there is nothing to explain about this matter. Whether the emperor believes it or not depends on you, so there is no point in explaining!”If he was really willing to believe her, then he wouldn't have to explain to her at this moment…
Jing Hao chuckled but did not say anything else. This woman always did not play by the rules. If it were anyone else, they would have already thrown themselves into his arms and cried!
"If the emperor has nothing else, please leave first. ChenQie wants to rest!”Seeing that Jing Hao had no intention of leaving, Su Qingyu impatiently ordered him to leave.
Damn it, he clearly believed Imperial Concubine Rong's words, yet he still had the cheek to come here and explain. With such a muddle-headed emperor, how could the country not perish?!
When the news of the punishment came, Su Qingyu was not too surprised. She only smiled indifferently. She knew that she could not count on the Emperor, let alone the kind of fatuous one! However, he didn't expect that the person who should have come to watch the show the most didn't come, and the person who shouldn't have come came without invitation…
"Didn't Consort Lan plead with the Emperor that night?”Concubine Xue had put on smoky makeup today. Coupled with her pure white dress, she looked as charming as a fairy in a painting...
Shaking her head, Su Qingyu didn't know how to answer. Was she here to kick him when he was down? After all, she was a concubine who had been grounded as soon as she entered the palace…
"Don't think too much about it. I'm not here to laugh at you. It's just…Ah, forget it.”
"No, don't misunderstand. I know you won't harm me. I believe you!”Su Qingyu held her slightly cold hands and looked straight into her clear eyes.
Hearing this, Concubine Xue froze on the spot. She…she said she believed in her?
" Actually, I've always been curious about you. You don't seem to be in cahoots with them, but you've been helping them in every way…"
"No, I didn't help anyone. It's just that in this harem, if there isn't the emperor's love, then it can be said to be sad. You're luckier than me, having a general as your father, the Emperor naturally wouldn't dare to punish you too severely. If I don't follow the Imperial Consort, I'm afraid I won't even know how I died in the future…"
It was a tragedy. The women he used to see on television always felt like strong lions. But now, she felt so pitiful when she met him…
"Is the emperor's favor really that important? Or are you also a…"
"Concubine Lan, you just entered the palace and naturally don't know. The Love Lake incident last time is a good example, right? If it wasn't for General Su, the Imperial Consort would have used this matter to get rid of you.”
Hearing this, Su Qingyu exclaimed,""My father? How could the imperial concubine have such great power? Not to mention the Emperor, he was also bound by the Prime Minister!”If that was really the case, then the Emperor Jing Hao was too…
"Forget it, I don't know much about the political affairs of the court. Right now, the Prime Minister really wants to monopolize power.”After saying that, Concubine Xue turned around and walked out of the Snow-Kun Palace, completely ignoring Su Qingyu's suspicious gaze.
Concubine Snow's sudden visit immediately caused alarm bells to ring in Su Qingyu's heart. She realized that she seemed to be slowly being dragged into a big conspiracy, and she was still unaware of it…
Concubine Xue's sudden visit made her more wary of Imperial Concubine Rong. However, they were in the dark while she was in the light. If she was careless, she might have to meet the Black and White Ghosts!”
The three-day deadline was soon up. During this period, Su Qingyu's life was quite comfortable. She continued to play with Wu Ye and Xiao Xiao all day long, not caring at all about Imperial Concubine Rong's deliberate provocation.
On this day, Su Qingyu saw Jing Hao's slightly gloomy face when she returned from outside. She blinked her eyes suspiciously, indicating that she did not know anything.
"So Consort Lan still knows to come back!”After a long while, Jing Hao spat out two words coolly.
Looking at his grumbling face, Su Qingyu could not help but laugh."Emperor, do you know how funny your expression is? He's like a husband who has been neglected by his wife for a long time…"
"Wife?" Looking at her bright smile, Jing Hao murmured softly.
Hearing his muttering, Su Qingyu's smile froze on her face. How could she…use her wife and husband on herself and the Emperor so naturally? At most, she could be considered a concubine, hehe! She was just a concubine!
