Chapter 6 The Beloved Concubine

Si Chen's eyes were icy cold. "It seems you don't want anything anymore."

Li Qinrou: !!!

It turned out that her intuition was correct; the Emperor really did have the idea of ​​making the Consort Empress.

Seeing the incredulous look in Li Qinrou's eyes, Si Chen said directly, "You should leave the palace and never come back."

Li Qinrou: !!!

He actually told her never to enter the palace again?

Since the Emperor has said so, even if she is the Empress Dowager, she cannot be allowed to enter the palace in the future, otherwise it would be a slap in the face to the Emperor.

He was really cruel to her.

The Prince Yu is no longer here, so why is he going back on his word and refusing to let her enter the palace?

Li Qinrou: "Hahaha..."

"Your Majesty, must you be so heartless towards me?"

Si Chen didn't speak; he had Li Qinrou dragged out of the palace.

The next day

Li Qinrou committed suicide by hanging, an event that shocked the entire capital.

Si Chen didn't react at all when he heard about it.

The next day,...

Cifu Palace

Overnight, the Empress Dowager seemed to have aged considerably.

She closed her eyes. "She's not the type to commit suicide, but did she find out anything?"

Granny Li lowered her eyes and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, we found nothing."

The Empress Dowager opened her eyes, her brows furrowing almost imperceptibly. "Didn't find anything? Then investigate the Imperial Concubine."

She narrowed her eyes, her gaze icy. "No, no need to investigate. Summon Physician Wang..."

In her opinion, the Emperor has lost his former rationality towards the Imperial Concubine. He's likely going to be ruined by her.

No, she can't just let it go unchecked.

If the emperor still had any sense, that would be one thing, but now, he doesn't even visit the other concubines' palaces, and he has even driven Li Qinrou out of the palace.

However, the Imperial Concubine cannot die. After all, General Luo and his son are still at the border. If she goes too far, they might rebel, which is not her goal.

The Emperor's favor towards the Imperial Concubine stemmed solely from his love for her stunningly beautiful face. If her face were disfigured, would the Emperor still love her?

Definitely not. Men are visual creatures. They might have some feelings at first, but they'll fade over time.

Moreover, the harem is never short of beauties...

Granny Li: "Yes, Your Majesty."

The next day,

Jade Palace

Only Luo Xizhu and Imperial Physician Wang were inside the hall.

While taking Luo Xi's pulse, the imperial physician whispered to her, "Your Highness, the Empress Dowager instructed me to secretly administer a disfiguring drug to you while taking your pulse."

Luo Xi was not surprised at all. Her eyes flickered slightly. "Oh? I understand."

She pondered for a moment, then looked at Physician Wang and whispered, "If you have the chance, give the Empress Dowager some medicine to prevent a stroke."

It's not surprising that people get strokes when they get older.

Imperial Physician Wang: "Yes, Your Highness."

Border,

Luo Yuan and Luo Ming sat on an open ground, looking up at the stars in the sky.

Luo Yuan: "I wonder how Xi'er is doing in the palace? Does she miss us?"

Luo Ming paused for a moment, then said, "I'm sure I'll think about it."

"Father, we are still at the border. No matter what, the Emperor will not mistreat Xi'er."

They all knew why the Emperor had sent Luo Xi into the palace: to restrain them and prevent them from having any thoughts of rebellion.

Therefore, as long as they do not rebel, the Emperor will not mistreat Luo Xi.
