Chapter 352: Butterfly Dance Peach Killing 5

The next day.

Today is the once-a-month rest day for the concubines, so there is no need for everyone to go to Noble Concubine Chen to pay her morning and evening respects.

But even though it was her free time, Concubine Hui was not happy at all.

At that time, she was changing Cheng Jing's clothes. Cheng Jing rubbed his sleepy eyes, pouted his lips, and said unhappily:

"Mother, I don't have to go to the Shangshufang today, why do I have to get up early..."

Concubine Hui said, "Your father asked your mother to take you to Changle Palace to play with Sister Ruoxin. Go wash your face and sober up. Don't go and make a fool of yourself."

After having the palace maid take Cheng Jing away to wash up, Chun Lan whispered to Concubine Hui:

"Are you really going, Your Majesty? Haven't you been avoiding Concubine Yi and unwilling to go to her palace?"

Of course, Concubine Hui didn't want to go.

She instigated Concubine Yao to murder Song Zhao with peach pollen, so naturally she wanted to stay far away and watch the fun. She was also afraid that if she went there and something went wrong in the future, she would also be suspected.

But now it was Xiao Jingheng who asked her to go, what could she do?

I heard her say helplessly: "You saw the emperor's attitude towards me yesterday. If I don't go, I'm afraid he will be even more angry."

As they were talking, a palace maid bowed and came in to make the bed for Concubine Hui.

Chun Lan stared at her intently, and waited until the palace maid finished making the bed and left before she took the trouble to lift the quilt, checked it carefully, and then made it up again.

Concubine Hui saw this and said, "You really pay attention to everything."

Chun Lan said: "No matter who serves the Empress in this palace, I cannot be at ease. Especially for matters close to the Empress, I cannot be careless."

Concubine Hui nodded comfortingly, "My master has found a way to send you to the palace. Now I have someone I can trust in the future."

Chun Lan's expression became solemn, and she emphasized each word: "Don't worry, Madam, I will definitely protect you well and help you to accomplish your great cause."

Later, Concubine Hui took Cheng Jing to Changle Palace.

As soon as he entered, Cheng Jing's eyes were attracted by the butterflies all over the yard.

He shouted that he wanted to go catch butterflies, but Concubine Hui scolded him sternly and dragged him into the inner hall to pay his respects to Song Zhao.

"Sister Song~"

Song Zhao was reading a book. When he saw Concubine Hui coming, he quickly closed the book and greeted her in a very friendly manner.

With one hand she held Hui Fei's, and with the other she touched Cheng Jing's cheek.

"This is Cheng Jing, right? So handsome."

She responded with a kind smile, but Cheng Jing did not appreciate it.

The little thing didn't know where the anger came from. She pushed Song Zhao's hand away and didn't even greet her. She just kept making trouble with Concubine Hui.

"I'm going to play with butterflies! I'm going to play with butterflies!"

"You are not allowed to go!" Concubine Hui scolded in a stern voice: "You didn't even greet Empress Yi when you saw her, and you still want to play with butterflies? Have you forgotten the rules that your mother taught you?"

After being scolded, Cheng Jing reluctantly said to Song Zhao:

"Hello, Queen Yi."

Although he was paying his respects, he neither bowed nor looked at the person, as if he was just doing a perfunctory job.

Song Zhao didn't argue with him and said with a smile, "Sister, come in and sit down."

After they sat down, Xiao Fuzi took Ruoxin's toys and gave them to Chengjing to play with.

Cheng Jing, however, took one and threw one away, still sulking with Concubine Hui with a pout.

Concubine Hui was also at a loss for words, so she turned to Song Zhao and asked, "Sister Song, where is the third princess?"

Song Zhao's eyes flashed with sadness for a moment, and he shook his head helplessly, sighing, "Noble Concubine Chen took her away again."

Concubine Hui said indignantly: "She also has her own children, why does she want to occupy her sister's children every day?"

Song Zhao smiled bitterly and said, "Ruoxin is also closer to her, so I can't force the child too much."

After saying this, he changed the subject and looked at Cheng Jing with loving eyes.

"I can't compare to my sister. Cheng Jing and you are very close."

Song Zhao took a milk pastry from the table and handed it to Cheng Jing with a smile.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Jing waved his hand and knocked the milk pastry to the ground, which fell on Song Zhao's gorgeous clothes, leaving some stains.

He looked out the window eagerly and saw Chunhua and Qiuyue trimming flowers in the courtyard. Large groups of butterflies were flying around them, making more noise.

"I want to play with butterflies! I want to go!"

Concubine Hui said sternly, "You child! Why are you so disobedient?"

Then he said to Song Zhao: "Sister Song, what do you think of him...ah..."

Song Zhao advised gently, "Sister, don't be too harsh on the child. He is younger than Ruoxin and just likes to play. The sun is not too strong outside now. If the child wants to play, just let him do it."

Concubine Hui naturally didn't want Cheng Jing to leave her sight.

He was also afraid that if Concubine Yao really gave Song Zhao peach blossom pollen in the future, the matter would implicate them mother and son.

But Cheng Jing was making such a fuss that Concubine Hui was at a loss and could only say:

"Then go ahead and find a cool place to play and don't get caught in the sun. Chunlan, follow him."

Cheng Jing got what he wanted, and then he ran to the courtyard with Chun Lan's hand, laughing.

Concubine Hui looked at his jumping back and said more helplessly:

"This boy is just naughty. I really can't do anything about it. Sister Song, you also had a..."

Concubine Hui stopped talking halfway, raised the teacup and took a sip in an awkward manner.

Song Zhao asked curiously, "What did my sister say? Did I have something before?"

Concubine Hui waved her hands awkwardly, "No, nothing. I was just saying it casually, don't mind it, Sister Song."

"ah!!!"

Suddenly, several sharp and piercing screams were heard in the courtyard, which frightened Song Zhao and Concubine Hui.

The two of them quickly looked towards the courtyard.

Seeing that Chunhua and Qiuyue had somehow fallen to the ground,

Their eyes widened in horror, black blood flowed out of their seven orifices, and they lay motionless, obviously dead...

The butterflies in the courtyard were flying around Chunlan and Chengjing like crazy.

Chun Lan held Cheng Jing in his arms, waving his hands to drive away the butterflies.

But the moment Song Zhao and Concubine Hui looked out, they both fell to the ground and became motionless.

Concubine Hui was terrified and screamed:

"Cheng Jing! My son!"

Then, without caring about his own safety, he stood up and rushed out in panic.
