Chapter 43: They Are All Spies



Qiao Gegen didn't even stop and ignored Jianhong.

Jian Hongyu had been waiting here for Qiao Yege. This time she had obtained something that was enough to make Qiao Yege uncomfortable. She thought Qiao Yege would be very scared and she could control her.

After all, who could have thought that Qiao Yuge would just walk right past him?

What is she pretending?

Jianhong was furious and rushed over to stand in front of Qiao Yege. Without further ado, she said in a cold voice, "Qiao Yege, I already know your secret. I advise you to listen to me. Otherwise, if I spread your story, your life might be in danger."

Qiao Yege slowly stopped, his eyes fell on Jian Hong's face, a disdainful smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said very calmly: "What? My secret? I don't even know the secret, and you still want to help me spread it?"

"Jianhong, based on your personality, if you really had something on me, would you still come and threaten me? You would definitely spread the news everywhere and want to put me to death!"

Qiao Yege took two steps forward and when he met Jianhong's eyes, he saw that Jianhong seemed really nervous and didn't dare to face Qiao Yege at all.

"What are you afraid of?" Qiao Yuge suddenly approached Jianhong, and it was obvious that he saw through Jianhong's trick, which made Jianhong feel guilty.

Obviously she had the upper hand just now, didn't she?

"You like General Wen Huan! Don't you even look at your own weight? Don't you even look in the mirror to see how you look? Are you worthy of General Wen Huan?"

Jianhong was forced into a corner by Qiao Yege, and immediately spoke loudly.

Qiao Yuge was startled and said to himself, "It turns out that young master is a general..."

After she finished speaking, she immediately turned around and said to Jianhong again: "I looked in the mirror. Not only did I look in the mirror, but I also thought that I was very beautiful in the mirror. What's your problem?"

Although Qiao Yuge has never talked about her beauty, she believes that even though she has traveled through time and space to become a palace maid, there is always a way out, and at least this face still satisfies her.

It would be fine if Jianhong mocked her for other things, but she was not afraid of her appearance.

After being pushed back by Qiao Yege's "shameless" comment, Jianhong was so angry that she jumped up and down, and immediately pointed at Qiao Yege and shouted, "Qiao Yege, you are shameless, do you really think you are good-looking?"

Qiao Yuge was not polite either, and looked at Jianhong at the same time, as if deliberately provoking Jianhong: "I'm telling the truth, not only am I good-looking, I'm prettier than you, I'm also the cousin of the virtuous prince, and my eldest aunt is the late imperial concubine. Not to mention that far away, I'm also the eldest maidservant beside the emperor, look at yourself, what do you have?"

"You keep nagging me that you want to do something to me. Why don't you hurry up? Judging from your current state, it's only a matter of time before you not only fail to do anything to me, but you might even get yourself into trouble."

After Qiao Yege finished his sarcasm, he pretended to say to Jianhong: "If you ask me, just do your own thing. Our beautiful women's affairs have nothing to do with you."

After Qiao Yuge finished speaking, he turned around and went back to his room.

But what she said was like a huge rock hitting Jian Hong's heart hard.

Jianhong was so angry! How come Qiao Yege was as thick-skinned as a city wall? Although what she said was indeed true, the moment she said this, Jianhong clearly knew the gap between herself and Qiao Yege!

It's just that when she was in the laundry department, Qiao Yuge had stayed there for so many years, enduring humiliation in silence, just like all those laundry maids who were at the mercy of others.

How come this woman suddenly became a different person?

Was she pretending before? After all, she was the cousin of the virtuous king, and it wasn't discovered today, right?

But how come this woman has such a good life? Why?

Jianhong's mind was like a bucket of pulp. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. The more she thought about it, the more unbalanced she felt. She turned her head and dug her fingernails into the palm of her hand fiercely. Her eyes were so cold that they seemed to be able to shoot out ice.

No, we must not let Qiao Yuge be so arrogant!

That night, in the Imperial Concubine's Palace, Imperial Concubine An sat in the main hall. On the table in front of her were some jewelry, each of which was exquisite and very valuable.

It was shining and sparkling under the flickering candlelight.

Concubine An fiddled with the jewelry carelessly, and didn't seem to like it very much. After fiddling with it for a while with her slender fingers, she finally said, "You said in a hurry that you had something to ask the empress. Tell me what it is?"

The maidservant beside Concubine An seemed not as easy to talk to as she was. She warned her maid very clearly: "You disturbed the Concubine's sweet dream in the middle of the night. You can't afford to pay for it even if you have ten thousand lives!"

Jianhong looked at Concubine An with pride and said, "My lady, I got some news today. Qiao Yuge likes General Wen Huan."

Before Concubine An could say anything, the maid said unhappily, "Do you have to tell the queen about everything?"

This maid seemed to have eaten a powder keg, and every word she said was choking.

Concubine An waved her hand, signaling the maid not to speak, and chuckled and said, "Really?" Jianhong nodded very seriously. Concubine An smiled and said helplessly, "She is just a maid, how could she have so many tricks? You should keep a close eye on Qiao Yuge for the palace, and tell her if there is any new news. You go down first."

After Concubine An finished speaking, she picked up a piece of exquisite jewelry at random from the pile and threw it to Jianhong.

Jianhong left happily.

After Jianhong left, the maid couldn't help but ask aggrievedly, "Madam, why are you curious about a maid? In my opinion, Qiao Yuge is just a maid."

Concubine An's eyes narrowed in an instant, and she said in a cold voice: "You underestimate Qiao Yuge too much. Even if you think she is just a maid, you should be able to tell from her exquisite appearance that if she is by the emperor's side, there is no guarantee that the emperor will not be tempted."

"Didn't you say that the emperor doesn't like women?"

Concubine An still smiled and said, "Men are all the same. Before, the concubines thought that the emperor was different, but now I think that he is not different, it's just that we women are not qualified."

Late at night, Qiao Yuge was lying in bed. When she thought that she had not yet received Wen Huan's handkerchief, she suddenly felt that Shu Fei was on her way with her hand.

She tossed and turned in sleep until the second half of the night, when she saw the door of her room was pushed open. A woman walked up to her bed and picked her up.

She was startled and was about to scream, but she saw that the person coming was not Aunt Hua.
