the third chapter
After returning to Phoenix Palace, Chen Lin sat quietly on the chaise lounge and stared at the book in her hand with all her attention. She had to understand this world better. Otherwise, she might be swallowed up in the future without knowing it.
She had let Xiao Die return to her room to rest early. She had indeed suffered today. Chen Lin knew that Consort Hui would not let it go so easily. She was very honored. She had the same thoughts. She could not pursue the matter of her causing Ouyang Wan's death. If Ouyang Wan did not die, she might be the one who disappeared. From a certain perspective, she had saved her life.
Unfortunately, she shouldn't have touched someone she shouldn't have touched and had thoughts she shouldn't have! And the price of all this…Hopefully, she could bear it!
She tightened her grip on the book. She never gave people who didn't need a chance a chance.
The Minister of Rites? I hope you're someone worthy of staying, or else? He had to get rid of the roots! Otherwise, if she harmed his daughter, he might not even smile at her. Don't blame her for being ruthless. This was her understanding of this world. She had always treated those who were good to her ten times or a hundred times better. She had never shown mercy to those who hurt her!
Harem! Chen Lin was here!
"The Emperor has arrived!" Don't doubt it! This was the voice of a dead eunuch in the palace. (I have a natural aversion to being neither male nor female. Please don't mind.)）
Chen Lin could not help but raise her eyebrows. Xuanyuan Che? Humph! You're finally willing to show yourself.
He put down the book in his hand and walked forward. He smiled warmly and bowed.
"ChenQie greets the Emperor."
"Get up. Empress." Xuanyuan Che's emotionless voice came from above.
Standing up, Chen Lin glanced at Xuanyuan's face from the corner of her eye.
Wow! A handsome guy! His purple eyelids had a kind of soul-stirring power. Unfortunately, there was unconcealable displeasure and impatience in them. His thin lips were tightly pursed, as if the fickle emperor was not in a good mood.
"What's wrong? Hasn't the Empress seen enough?" His purple eyes emitted a dangerous aura.
Chen Lin looked at the person sitting at the head of the table without fear.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty can understand. ChenQie fell into the water a month ago, and the reason is still unknown. ChenQie also lost her memory because of that accident.”
He looked submissive as if it was really the fault of the person on the main seat. But she believed that he could understand what she meant.
Her own Empress had only come to see her a month after she fell into the water. Moreover, she had not sought justice for her Empress and found out the truth. She didn't believe that he really didn't know the truth about her falling into the water!
Xuanyuan Che was also slightly surprised. This woman seemed to have really changed. After hearing Consort Hui's cries, he thought that she was just looking for trouble with Ouyang Wan again. That Ouyang Wan, who was always patient, actually made a move? He didn't expect that…
Ha! It was very interesting! Ouyang Wan had changed so much after falling into the water?
If he fell into the water a few more times…
Err... The purebred black-bellied little emperor, Xuanyuan Che.。。
Xuanyuan Che stood up and walked to Chen Lin's side. The impatience in his eyes was gone, replaced by the excitement of meeting his prey.
"I didn't expect my Wan 'er to be so eloquent. Looks like I shouldn't have neglected you!”His cold breath landed in Chen Lin's ears, but it was filled with endless temptation.
Chen Lin was embarrassed…How could a man be so seductive? It seemed that she was still a little charmed…。
She forced herself to be calm. She straightened her back.
"Your Majesty, ChenQie doesn't blame you. You ignored ChenQie in the past. Perhaps ChenQie didn't do well enough."”
It was undeniable that Ouyang Wan was indeed very beautiful and had the ability to bring disaster to the country.
Xuanyuan Che didn't seem to want to continue pestering her. This woman was just for fun. If he was too focused, he would accidentally fall in.
"I heard from Consort Hui that you attacked her in the Imperial Garden today?”Xuanyuan Che said seriously.
I knew it was that brainless person's doing! Consort Hui? Tan Hui 'er? Is this considered courting death?
Chen Lin said seriously,"Emperor? According to the rules of the palace, what kind of punishment should be given to those who offended their superiors?”
"According to the law, those who violate the law will be punished with a stick, and those who violate the law will be beheaded.”Xuanyuan Che said calmly.
"When Hui Fei Niangniang saw ChenQie, not only did she not bow, she even beat ChenQie's palace maid. Emperor, no matter what, ChenQie is still the master of the harem, right? My palace maids committed a mistake, and Consort Hui will handle it? This? I'm afraid he doesn't put ChenQie in his eyes, right?”
Chen Lin knew that she had to protect Xiao Die.
"Oh? Was this the case? I really don't know." She sat back down and rested her head on her slender hands. Her eyes were slightly narrowed as if she was about to fall asleep.
Transvestite! This was what Chen Lin wanted to say the most!
"The reason why ChenQie acted was also because she was afraid of giving the palace people a chance to gossip! Moreover, this saved Consort Hui's sister's life!”Sister…I'll puke! However, she cursed in her heart. Damn it, she was old!! Hehe!
"In that case, that's true!”Xuanyuan Che seemed to be especially easy to talk to today. Eunuch Chen, who had come with him, was surprised (if he was wearing glasses.)。。）。
Ever since the emperor was born. He had followed this master for more than ten years. This was the time when he was the most patient besides handling state affairs. If it was in the past, the woman standing at the bottom of the steps would have been kicked out long ago, right?
Looking at the empress, she had really changed a lot. Her personality was more lively, and even her eyes were more lively.。。It attracted the emperor even more. He did not know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.
Xuanyuan Che didn't say anything in the end. He left the way he came.
However, Chen Lin could not remain calm. He was handsome!!!!!! And a handsome one at that! In the modern era, she was a super fangirl.。。And a love-struck fool!
Alright then! Actually, Ouyang Wan had good taste. The person she liked was not bad!
It was a pity for Chen Lin. It was really a pity. Why was this handsome man an emperor? If only he was just a guard! She would definitely abduct him after she was done with the matters here and left the palace!
Sigh, forget it! I don't have that luck! It was better to think about how to get rid of Consort Hui who had provoked her! Actually, Chen Lin was not a vicious person. The so-called settling was just kicking her out of the palace.
Why? Are you stupid? 1. She killed Ouyang Wan, even though she saved her by accident.。。2. She made a move on Xiao Die! Although Xiaodie was usually talkative, she was also good to her. 3. She already had the intention to kill him again. One had to strike first to gain the upper hand, or else she would be the one to die!
Was this reason enough?
However, it seemed that Xuanyuan Che was interested in him.。。These days? How could he pass?
It wasn't that she didn't see Xuanyuan Che's eyes clearly just now. She was very familiar with the excitement he had when he saw his prey. In the past, when she met her competitors in the business world, she was the same.
Sigh! Unexpectedly! Now it was his turn to be targeted…。
It was a good thing to have a handsome guy, but it was a pity that the person was not right! That person might take his life if he was not careful! She would not risk her life.
Let nature take its course. Anyway, she would leave the palace sooner or later. No one could stop her!
His pitch-black eyes suddenly darkened.
Otherwise, he would kill all gods and buddhas!
"Niangniang, Eunuch Shen just came to report that the Emperor invited Niangniang to Cheng Xiang Hall for dinner tonight.”Xiao Die hurriedly ran in from outside and said while panting.
Chen Lin's face darkened.
The innocent Xiao Die did not seem to know that she had brought the worst news for Chen Lin. She was so excited that it was as if her master had already received the emperor's favor.
Chen Lin's face darkened even more.
Xiao Die continued.
"Empress! What do you think we should wear tonight? Red? It was too gaudy and tacky. White? It's too simple and elegant." Xiao Die opened the closet and took out the clothes one by one, denying them one by one.
Chen Lin finally could not hold it in anymore.
"Xiao Die! I think black is the best!"
"Eh, black won't do! Who would wear black to meet the Emperor!”
Chen Lin really, really wanted to slap the smiling girl in front of her to death! She actually took it seriously? oh! Heavens! How did she meet her!
He grabbed her hand that was still rummaging through her clothes.
"Alright! Xiao Die! Stop looking! I'll pick my own clothes. You can go out first. You can help me comb my hair later.”
Alright then! He was just thinking of letting nature take its course when the other party came knocking on his door.。。
He still had to bite the bullet!
After Xiao Die went out, Chen Lin found a simple but elegant blue dress. White tassels were tied around her waist, and she had a light blue tube top. Ouyang Wan's perfect figure was vividly highlighted.
"Empress has good taste! This dress suits the Empress very well!" From the moment Xiao Die entered the door again, her praise never stopped!
Chen Lin facepalmed again. Girl, can you be a little noisier?
"Help me put on makeup and comb my hair!" He really couldn't stand this girl's noise anymore!
Looking at the beautiful person in the bronze mirror, the heavens were indeed good to Ouyang Wan. She had a noble status, a beautiful face, and a good figure. Of course, what she lacked was a man who loved her. Actually, with her conditions, it was easy for her to find a man. She really didn't know why she had fallen for the cold and passionate Xuanyuan Che.
