Qiao Yuange was standing at the door, lowering his head to look, and now he understood why the emperor had been so busy recently.
But for some reason, when she looked at the emperor, she actually felt a little distressed for this man facing all this now.
Even though Xiao Yun is the emperor, he can't be so cruel that he can't do anything to a concubine who likes him? What has he done? Why are these women so cruel? In order to hurt the emperor, they even told the "truth" that they don't like the emperor?
Hopefully the emperor is in a good mood right now, otherwise, wouldn't he be so angry that he would die with all the cuckolds he has?
The emperor sat there, with his hands on the table, quietly playing with a teacup on the table, his eyes fixed on the teacup, seemingly a little careless, but more importantly, a very gentle and peaceful look, as if he didn't take the fact that this woman cheated on him seriously at all.
But the country has its own laws, and the family has its own rules. The emperor finally raised his head and said to Shu Fei: "Shu Fei, I want to ask you today, did you insist on entering the palace to be a concubine? Did I force you?"
Shu Fei was stunned at first, as if she had not expected that the emperor would actually reason with her first?
In just a moment, she lowered her head in embarrassment, shook her head and said, "Your Majesty did not force me. It was I who wanted to enter the palace."
The emperor nodded and said, "You have been in the palace for many days. Have I ever touched you?"
"No...no." Shu Fei was even more nervous at this time. Why would the emperor ask these questions now?
The emperor asked this, could it be because Qiao Yuange was here, and the emperor hoped that Qiao Yuange would see his loyalty?
"Did I give you less salary?"
“No…”
Although Shu Fei felt guilty, she was impatient after all. Finally, she couldn't help but look up at the emperor and said to him, "Your Majesty, you can say whatever you want to say."
"Since you have entered the palace and become a concubine, I don't need you. I have provided for you and let you live a carefree life. Why do you still think that I owe you something? You can leave the palace just like that? You can like someone else just like that? What do you think my dignity is? Is it air?"
The emperor's tone at this time was very progressive, and he didn't care at all that Shu Fei's face turned pale with fear.
But Shu Fei was different from Ming Fei. She certainly didn't think that these things were her fault, so she changed her weak image and pointed the finger at Qiao Yuange who was standing respectfully beside her.
"Is it because of Qiao Yuange? Your Majesty, haven't you noticed yet? Ever since Qiao Yuange appeared, you seem to have become a different person. Not only has your personality become more irritable, but you even have higher expectations of us. Why is that? Did Qiao Yuange say something to you that made you interested?"
Qiao Yuange thought to himself, what does this have to do with me?
What on earth did these people think of her? It was as if she really had the ability to bring disaster upon herself, but in reality she was just a maid.
The emperor also looked up at Qiao Yuange at this time.
Of course, he had already seen Qiao Yuange, but when his eyes fell openly on Qiao Yuange's face, his heart seemed to be blocked by something.
There had been some problems between him and Qiao Yuange recently. Although he had imprisoned Qiao Yuange with violence, he knew that this was not a long-term solution. He cared about Qiao Yuange so much, how could he bear to let Qiao Yuange resent him?
When looking at Qiao Yuange, the emperor suddenly stretched out his hand and held his forehead, as if he was troubled by something.
Then the emperor said to Shu Fei: "What does this have to do with Qiao Yuange? Don't you think that I don't like you because of Qiao Yuange? These women in your harem are really strange sometimes. You can like others, but you have to make me unable to stop wanting you? Don't you think about why you are so good?"
Shu Fei stopped talking. Wen Huan, who was sitting aside, felt as if something had pierced his buttocks and he felt uncomfortable no matter how he sat.
He walked over and knelt on the ground, speaking to the emperor in a calm and restrained voice: "Your Highness, I was inconsiderate and shouldn't have let Concubine Shu know this news. It's all my fault. I will go back to take care of General Shu on behalf of Concubine Shu, and I will come to the palace to report to you when General Shu recovers."
The emperor looked at Wen Huan. In fact, the emperor had already known about the relationship between Wen Huan and Shu Fei. He just turned a blind eye to it.
However, when the emperor saw that Wen Huan was willing to speak for Shu Fei, he even thought of himself as a bad guy at that moment, breaking up this pair of ill-fated lovers.
He waved his hand and said to Wen Huan, "Go back and look after General Shu. I heard that General Shu was not only injured this time, but also poisoned. If you need anything, tell the imperial physician immediately. No matter what herbal medicine it is, take it all, no matter how much it costs. Just use it."
Wen Huan nodded, took the order and walked out.
Shu Fei was still kneeling on the ground. She realized that no matter what the emperor said, he was at least trying his best to help her father. This was much better than going back and only causing trouble for her father.
She also knew that she was too impulsive just now and said so many outrageous words.
If her father hadn't fought for the country, how could she still be alive here to talk to the emperor?
She hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Your Majesty, I just said something... I was just angry, I hope Your Majesty will not take it to heart."
Don't take it to heart? What kind of fool is the emperor? Is he going to pretend he didn't hear such words and then smile and say he doesn't care?
But the emperor had no intention of doing anything to Shufei at this critical juncture.
So he said to Shu Fei: "I will let you go to see your father, but now is not the time, and you don't have to be sad. Take advantage of this time to think about how to elope with the man in your heart."
After finishing speaking, the emperor stood up, turned around and walked to the side hall.
When Concubine Shu heard the emperor say this, she immediately felt like she was about to die.
She sat down on the ground dejectedly, wishing she could slap herself twice.
But she was not sure whether to die or not. At this moment, she saw Qiao Yuange standing next to her.
As soon as she saw this woman, all of Shu Fei's hidden dissatisfaction and unwillingness surged up at that moment.
