"Ah…"
Before he entered the bedroom, he could hear the screams of a pig being slaughtered from afar. Chang 'an was frightened when he heard it. He did not know what kind of tragic scene it would be when he went in and saw the real scene.
Chang An prayed in his heart. Just as he thought of how to deal with it, another hysterical voice sounded.
"You dog slave! He was simply courting death! Don't you know you should be gentler? Get out of my sight!"
When the Empress heard this voice, she stopped in her hurry and looked at the palace door in front of her. She seemed to be filled with endless sorrow. Chang 'an was naturally moved by this scene.
The Empress 'malice was only directed at her and those like her who had nothing to do with the Empress. Her tenderness and care were only reserved for her relatives. There was nothing wrong with this. On the contrary, it was just right for people like the Empress.
Any more enthusiasm would make people feel too close. If he was any colder, it would make people feel cold.
"You heard it!" The Empress tilted her head slightly and did not turn her head back completely. She glanced at Chang 'an and said coldly,""This is all because of you, Lin Changan!”
“……”
Chang 'an was also very helpless. Things had come to this point, any explanation or apology would be futile... If she was asked to say something to make up for it, she probably wanted to refuse.
"Come in!"
Autumn Leaf, the palace maid beside the Empress, tugged at Chang 'an. Chang' an couldn't help but stagger. She looked up at the palace maid, but there wasn't anything different. She was still the same as in her previous life. She wasn't tall, and her figure was more voluptuous. She had a face that fawned on those in power, and she always wore the mask of flattery and ruthlessness, which could be changed at any time.
"Humph!" When Autumn Leaf saw Chang 'an looking at her, she snorted contemptuously." What are you looking at?!”
Her tone and demeanor were arrogant. Chang 'an did not know what he had done to provoke her. Since her previous life, she had always been at odds with Lin Chang' an. Chang 'an knew that he had never let her down.
"Empress-"
A palace maid ran out from inside and called out," Empress." Chang 'an looked up. It was also a palace maid, dressed in the same clothes as Autumn Leaf, but with a completely different temperament. At first glance, one would feel a gentle and friendly feeling. Her well-proportioned figure gave people the illusion that she was thin. She did not always have a gentle smile on her face, but she gave people a gentle impression.
The palace maid in front of her was Aunt Qiuyun. Chang 'an still remembered the help Qiuyun had given her in her previous life. When she was punished by the Empress to kneel in front of Changle Palace, when she was framed for killing other concubines, when she...
Perhaps it was because she had lived in this palace for too long in her previous life, but she could recall and list too many things.
Qiuyun glanced at Chang 'an, who was standing beside the Empress. Coincidentally, Chang' an's gaze was still on her face, so her gaze stopped on Chang 'an for a moment. However, this glance was discovered by the Empress.
"Qiuyun-how is it?”The Empress's voice was indeed unhappy. She was clear about the palace maids beside her, but she couldn't even stop for a moment!
Chang 'an lowered her head. The Empress was indeed sensitive. She knew it in her previous life. She didn't want the person she wanted to protect to be hurt again because of her.
It was just a pause in his gaze, but the Empress grabbed onto it and refused to let go.
"Replying to the Empress, the Imperial Physician is looking at him…but it seems to be a little serious. The young duke has always been throwing a tantrum."
Qiuyun said in a hurry, as if the matter was really serious.
Chang 'an was actually not without fear. She was afraid that once she stepped into the dormitory, she would never be able to come out again. She did not know what fate she would face next.
This was the feeling of being controlled by someone else. His fate was in the hands of someone else. He had to do whatever the other person wanted him to do. This was the first time in his life!
The Empress turned her head and stared at Chang 'an with a fierce look in her eyes…If looks could kill, Chang' an would not be standing here alive.
" Lin Chang 'an!" The Empress gritted her teeth and shouted.
"My daughter is here."
Chang 'an looked up, her eyes calm. Not only were her eyes calm, but even her tone was calm.
Unexpectedly, the Empress didn't continue to lose her temper. Surprisingly, she suppressed her anger and smiled awkwardly.""Follow BenGong in."
Chang 'an nodded calmly and followed the Empress into the threshold. It seemed that there was another world inside. Once they entered, it would be difficult to come out.
"You bunch of quacks-I'll have my aunt kill you all! Behead them all!"
The young duke's exasperated voice rang out, as if he was enduring great pain. However, his words were ruthless and showed his deep-rooted bad habit of disregarding human lives. Perhaps it was because of the Right Prime Minister's poor upbringing...
Chang 'an clearly remembered that in her previous life, she had never met this young duke. The only time she had heard about him in her previous life was when he was beheaded. It was Qi Muyuan's decree, and even the Empress Dowager could not stop him.
From this point of view, Qi Muyuan did not seem to be very bad. He even had the intention of being a wise ruler of a generation. However, on second thought, Qi Muyuan's wisdom was only on some insignificant matters. When it came to matters that concerned the people, Qi Muyuan was really terrible!
" Lin Chang 'an..." The Empress took a deep look at Chang' an. Chang 'an looked up at the Empress, waiting for her to continue."You have to be mentally prepared."
"What?"
The panic in Chang 'an's heart was amplified when the Empress said," You must be mentally prepared." Chang' an looked at the Empress warily, thinking that she really should not leave the Soliciting Moon Pavilion.
Presumably, Wei Ziye was currently discussing something with the Emperor, so he had no time to care about her. Moreover, he might not even think about whether something would happen to her at this time.
She really shouldn't have disobeyed Wei Ziye and come to Changle Palace to see the Empress. If she had stayed at the Soliciting Moon Pavilion then, she definitely wouldn't have been forced to come and see the young duke now…Moreover, she had obediently walked here step by step without anyone forcing her.
"You still haven't reacted?”The Empress looked at Chang 'an mockingly." What I mean is actually very simple…It's not as complicated as you think!”After walking past this outer room, the young duke was inside…..
The fear and panic in Chang 'an's heart made her at a loss. She did not know how to deal with the things that happened one after another. She had never fallen into such panic.
"Niangniang, what do you mean? This official's daughter, this official's daughter…indeed does not understand.”
She couldn't say it clearly. Chang 'an didn't know what she wanted to express, but she did have a clear idea in her heart--she wanted to leave!
The next step forward was an unknown fate, an unpredictable future. How could he not panic?
"You don't understand?" The Empress 'tone was so sarcastic that she snorted coldly and gave Chang' an a contemptuous look." You're only telling me now that you don't understand? Now you're pretending to be dumb with bengong! Don't you think it's a little too late?"
Chang 'an took a step back, her movements trembling. She bit her lip and said with a trembling voice," The Empress means…"
"BenGong's meaning is that if anything happens to the young duke, you will also be implicated! Go back and prepare your wedding dress!"
In fact, the Empress had this intention for a long time, but she did not say it out loud. Chang 'an had always thought that the Empress had asked her to serve the young duke for a period of time. Who would have thought that this was not just the meaning of serving the young duke for a period of time, but also the meaning of being responsible for the young duke's life!
"You finally understand now, right?"
Chang 'an shook her head." Your Majesty, you can't treat Chang' an like this. My daughter…"
"What's wrong?" The Empress looked Chang 'an up and down." What else do you want to say now? But-"
The Empress seemed to be admiring Chang 'an's terrified look. She paused and said,""It's too late for you to say anything now! BenGong won't listen to you. Previously, I wanted you to participate in the talent show, but at that time, you used the excuse of being sick to not come. Now, even if you don't have an excuse, BenGong has already changed her mind!”
Chang 'an took a step back and said," The Empress really impressed Chang' an.”
"Let's go in."
Ignoring Chang 'an's panic, the Empress looked at Chang' an's terrified and flustered appearance and thought to herself---Fortunately, Lin Chang 'an did not participate in the selection. If he really gave such a stunner to the Emperor, who knows what would happen now.
That was because this woman had the final say in everything. Prince Qi Yong had never had any opinion of his own, and this Lin Chang 'an was so arrogant and unruly…At that time, she would probably not have another helper to deal with Consort Wan, but an enemy to threaten her position, right?
That was the so-called…one who brought this upon himself!
Chang 'an didn't move. When the Empress said' go in,'Chang' an still didn't move. She really wanted to leave.
Qiuyun stood beside the Empress and looked at Chang 'an with sympathy. But what could sympathy do? There was nothing she could do. Chang 'an knew that Aunt Qiuyun had not had it easy. She was a kind palace maid who had a protective heart for the Empress and a compassionate heart for her. It was really difficult to have both!
Seeing that Chang 'an was still unwilling to go in, the Empress gestured with her hand. Autumn Leaf came up and began to pull Chang' an. Even if Chang 'an wanted to break free, it was impossible for her to escape now.
"Empress, are you sure you want to be so heartless?”
