Chu Huaijin saw through Bai Ze's thoughts at a glance. He pointed at Lin Yueying and said,""Except for her."
Their conditions were a promise between men, and had nothing to do with women.
"Don't worry, I have no such intentions."
He, Bai Ze, would not use such a thing to exchange for Yue Ying. She was a priceless treasure in his heart. How could she be replaced by a joke from when she was young?
Bai Ze's final request was to fight him openly.
"If you win, zhen will let you go.”Chu Huaijin was used to taking the initiative at all times.
"If I win, I hope to exchange my life for Yue Ying's.”
" No…don't…" Lin Yueying was shocked. How could he be so stupid? Chu Huaijin didn't even say that he wanted his life.
Chu Huaijin pushed Lin Yueying into his arms, not allowing them to look at each other again. He demanded that he would not leave unless he died.
Bai Ze still wanted to persevere, but Lin Yueying directly threatened him with death. Bai Ze was forced to grit his teeth."Yue Ying is here. If you dare to hurt her in the slightest, I will definitely find her in the future.”After saying that, he flew away under Lin Yueying's threat.
After chasing Bai Ze away, Chu Huaijin left Lin Yueying behind and said to the guards outside,""Keep a close eye on them and don't allow any outsiders to enter.”Then, he left in big strides.
Lin Yueying leaned against a pile of broken wood. Her eyes were red, but she did not shed a single tear. As she said, her tears had long since dried up.
……
Ever since the West Chu's 100th birthday, it had been a long time since the West Chu Imperial Palace had such a joyous occasion.
Inside the Imperial Palace, lanterns and streamers were hung everywhere. A large red curtain and a joyous atmosphere enveloped the entire palace.
Shen Pan 'er was carefully served by many palace servants as she tried on the new empress's phoenix robe with satisfaction.
The bright yellow phoenix robe in front of him was embroidered with a nine-tailed golden phoenix. The dance was enchanting and dignified.
Shen Pan 'er smiled charmingly as she looked at her reflection in the bronze mirror. Her slanted eyes were filled with pride.
"Hahahaha…BenGong finally waited.”She opened her arms and laughed wildly from the bottom of her heart, as if she wanted to shout out all the grievances she had felt since she entered the palace for so long.
"Congratulations, Empress. Congratulations, Empress." The palace servants all knelt down and shouted for her in unison.
The golden phoenix robe on her body was so heavy that she could not breathe, but Shen Pan 'er only felt excited. Ever since she first entered the palace and saw Lin Yueying, she had been fantasizing about when she would be able to wear the phoenix robe on Lin Yueying.
Initially, she thought that it would be very difficult. After all, Lin Yueying came from a famous aristocratic family. Her father was the Prime Minister, and he could rule the court with one hand. Her aunt was the Empress Dowager, and she had a lot of power in the palace. Under such a strong opponent, Shen Pan 'er could not see any hope of replacing her.
However, when she was disappointed, she saw hope in Chu Huaijin.
On the night of the Celestial Empress 'wedding, although he had entered the Empress' palace first, he had laid down beside her in the middle of the night. This was not the only thing that happened. From then on, he had been like this every day. In the eyes of outsiders, he had been fair to her and Lin Yueying. However, only she knew that he hated Lin Yueying very much. Moreover, he had told her countless times that as long as she was pregnant with the dragon before Lin Yueying, he would give it to her even if she wanted to be the Empress.
But now, she had really realized it.
"Empress Lin should share such a good time with BenGong.”She walked out of the Jingning Palace in her unfinished phoenix robe and went all the way to the Cold Palace where Lin Yueying lived.
At that time, Lin Yueying was laboriously starting a fire in the dilapidated palace.
In the past, she was the daughter of the Prime Minister who never touched the water of spring. After entering the palace, she was also the mother of a country. She had never done such rough work. However, Qing Li injured her hand when she was cleaning up the broken wood in the room. In order not to let her get hurt again, she had to chase her back and do it herself.
Just as a spark was about to ignite, the door suddenly opened and a gust of wind blew in, blowing out all the torches she had lit up.
Lin Yueying was extremely depressed. She sat on the ground and leaned against the firewood, sighing.
"Oh, so this is the Empress…I pay my respects to the Empress…"
"Empress…you forgot, you are already the empress now. She is merely a deposed empress. She is so lowly, how can she receive the respect of the honorable you?”The little palace maid giggled and supported Shen Pan 'er while the master and servant duo teased Lin Yueying.
Lin Yueying did not seem to hear or see the two of them. She was only focused on fighting with the firewood in her hand.
Shen Pan 'er paused for a moment, but she felt that no one was paying attention to her. It was meaningless to talk alone. Seeing that Lin Yueying's eyes were all focused on the piece of firewood, the little palace maid beside her kicked the firewood over with a glance, and the ashes on it stained Lin Yueying's face.
" Aiya…I'm sorry, Empress Lin. I…I wanted to help you, but I'm too clumsy. I didn't know what to do…" Lin Yueying was extremely upset by the little palace maid's hypocritical words. Her heart and lungs were so stifled that she couldn't breathe properly. She raised her eyes and glared at the master and servant. She turned around to pick up the firewood and lit it again.
" Tsk tsk…" Shen Pan 'er walked around her and stood in front of her.
"Crippled Empress is so arrogant, why didn't you bow when you saw bengong?”
"Don't be too proud. You're nothing to him.”Lin Yueying didn't raise her head, but her words were unusually sharp. Shen Pan 'er's heart clenched when she heard it.
"Shut up, is the matter between bengong and the emperor something you can talk about?”She screamed.
She knew very well how Chu Huaijin treated her. Although he seemed to give her all his love on the surface, there seemed to be a small corner in his heart. She didn't know who he wanted to give it to or who he loved. In short, he didn't love her.
Sometimes, when he looked at her face, his eyes were empty, as if he was looking at another woman through her…
"No matter what, the position of Empress is now mine. As for you, Lin Yueying, you have lost.”
"Do you know why I lost?" Lin Yueying slowly raised her head, her eyes indescribable.
"Humph, if you knew, bengong was afraid that you would not take things too hard, but if you do not take things too hard, bengong will be even more open-minded, so bengong is very happy to answer your doubts.”
"You lost to a non-existent child in my stomach…Haha." Shen Pan 'er continued.”
She still remembered that when Chu Huaijin had promised her that she would become the Empress if she could get pregnant with a prince first, she had been too excited. She had been careless, and that period of time had not come. She thought that she was pregnant, and that the heavens were helping her. When she had told Chu Huaijin hesitantly, her little day had unexpectedly come the next day. She was so angry that she did not even have dinner that day.
How could he take back what he had already said? Otherwise, how would Chu Huaijin look at her and pamper her in the future?
She was so frightened that she did not even summon the imperial physician. She thought about it day and night and came up with a way to make the non-existent child in her stomach disappear and also to strike a blow to Lin Yueying.
