Chapter 4 Beloved Concubine 4

The Empress wanted to say something, but before she could utter a sound, she collapsed into He'er's arms and fainted...

He'er was startled, "Your Majesty the Empress!"

"Imperial Physician! Quickly, summon the Imperial Physician! Her Majesty the Empress has fainted!"

The Empress's illness lingered for two days, but ultimately, she succumbed and passed away.

Time flies.

Six months later,

A guest has arrived at Yuqiong Palace.

Luo Xi looked at Li Qinrou sitting in the chair on the left and asked, "I wonder what brings Princess Yu here to see me?"

Li Qinrou looked at Luo Xi and said softly, "Your Highness, I would like to ask you for a favor."

Luo Xi chuckled lightly, "Beg me? You might as well beg the Emperor and the Empress Dowager."

Li Qinrou: ? ? ?

What did the Imperial Concubine mean by those words?

She pursed her lips and continued, "Your Highness, you must have heard about what happened between me and the Emperor."

Luo Xi: "I've heard a little about it."

Li Qinrou: "The Emperor and I used to..."

Luo Xi frowned, interrupting Princess Yu, and said coldly, "Princess Yu, I have no interest in hearing about your past with the Emperor."

"If this is what you wanted to say to me, then you may leave."

Li Qinrou:

She stood up, walked to Luo Xi, and knelt down with a thud. "Your Highness, I wish to enter the palace. Please, Your Highness, do not prevent me..."

Luo Xi: ? ? ?

"Ha! Princess Yu, when have I ever stopped you from entering the palace?"

Li Qinrou: ? ? ?

Isn't it her?

Over the past six months, the Empress Dowager has urged the Emperor several times, and she has also brought it up intentionally or unintentionally, but the Emperor still shows no intention of letting her enter the palace.

She thought that the Imperial Concubine had said something to the Emperor, which was why he wouldn't let her enter the palace.

"Then...does the Imperial Concubine know why His Majesty has been delaying my entry into the palace?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Xi couldn't help but roll her eyes. "You'd have to ask the Emperor. How would I know? I'm not a mind reader."

"You don't think I said something to the Emperor that's why he won't let you into the palace, do you?"

"You're overthinking it. I don't have that kind of ability."

Luo Xi raised her hand, rubbed her temples, and gestured for Li Qinrou to leave, "Princess Yu, I'm feeling a little tired..."

Li Qinrou:

Looking at Luo Xi's beautiful face and her slightly impatient eyes, a hint of jealousy and resentment flashed in her own.

She bit her lip, got up, and left...

Luo Xi watched Li Qinrou's retreating figure, her eyes darkening.

Jealous? Resentful?

Just because Li Qinrou hasn't taken action against her yet doesn't mean she won't later.

Luo Xi dislikes being passive; she always prefers to strike first.

She looked at Zhuzhu, who was waiting not far away, "Zhuzhu."

Upon hearing this, Zhuzhu walked to Luo Xi's side, "Your Majesty!"

Luo Xi whispered a few words in Zhu Zhu's ear.

Upon hearing this, Zhuzhu was slightly startled. "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Remember, tell him not to leave any trace."
