Fang Yuan and Concubine Yi just beat Qiao Yuge. They were just girls, so even if they were quite vicious, they were not that vicious.
They were seen by the emperor at this time, and they were even more frightened. As the emperor's women, they were seen looking like devils. They didn't dare to breathe and wished they could find a place to hide.
But when Fang Yuan heard the emperor and the queen mother talking about Qiao Yege's father, she immediately became alert.
In fact, Fang Yuan had heard something about Qiao Yuge's father.
It was like an abyss.
Fang Yuan knew that it would be dangerous if she knew about that matter, but she still hoped to fully understand it so that she could have the power to take the initiative.
Sure enough, after the emperor heard the queen mother's warning, he stood there looking at her, his eyes full of hope.
The Queen Mother was not a fool. After seeing the Emperor's expression, she understood what he meant.
The emperor felt that the empress dowager's behavior was so disappointing. She was such a grown-up, yet she still used such childish means!
The problem is that the Queen Mother is already in her 60s, yet she is looked down upon by her own juniors. She must feel ashamed.
So her tone was a little unconvinced, and she said in a cold voice: "What's wrong? I think you also know that if Qiao Yuge knew those things, she would hate you to death. I see that you don't like her, but please recognize your own situation and don't put too much hope on this girl."
The emperor remained silent.
Concubine Xi was standing next to him. She had never seen the emperor so serious before.
Because the emperor was always smiling and playful before, and the topics related to the emperor were always about him constantly courting death, so that the concubine looked down on the emperor and thought he was childish.
But now he was holding Qiao Yege in his arms, Qiao Yege's body was torn and flesh was exposed, and fine beads of blood were stuck to the emperor's clean robe, giving him a sense of beauty that was almost broken.
The concubine suddenly found it funny. It turned out that it was not that the emperor was unlikable, but that the emperor was too lazy to show his excellence and true self in front of her.
They were childhood sweethearts who grew up together, but she never took the emperor to heart. Regretfully, she never got to know the emperor, nor had the opportunity to appreciate his charm.
"Qiao Yege is innocent. I want you to explain clearly that how you fought with me is a matter between the two of us. Don't hurt Qiao Yege again."
The emperor repeated it.
If the last time I said it was just an exhortation, this time it became a warning.
The Queen Mother was still unconvinced, so she tilted her head and asked, "What if I insist on targeting Qiao Yuge? Your Majesty, you are such a smart person, why would you expose your weakness? Qiao Yuge has only known you for a few days, and she has already found your weakness?"
"What do you want me to do to let Qiao Yege go and never harass her again?"
The emperor lowered his head and looked at the person in his arms.
The person in his arms was ice-cold, with a pale face, chapped lips, and tears in the corners of his eyes. His handsome eyebrows were twisted together, and he was sweating profusely.
She was breathing out more than she was breathing in, and was about to give up.
The emperor's tone became urgent. He knew that Qiao Yuge needed the best imperial physician now, but he had to make sure that the empress dowager stopped targeting Qiao Yuge, so that the problem could be solved once and for all.
Qiao Yuge, you have always been tough and thick-skinned, just hold on a little longer!
When the Queen Mother saw that the Emperor asked this question but didn't even look at her, she felt a sense of regret for no reason in her heart.
Although she did not get along with the emperor, she thought that he was just a child. Now he had grown up without her noticing.
"Your Majesty, I think you have grown too powerful?"
"Tell me, what do you want me to do? Can you promise that you will never hurt Qiao Yege?"
The emperor didn't have that much time and repeated this sentence.
Before the Queen Mother spoke, Concubine Yi said with some jealousy: "Your Highness, she is just a maid, how can she be worthy of you..."
Concubine Xiao didn't finish her words. She didn't say anything more because she found that the emperor didn't even look at her - he just ignored her.
Compared with the previous non-interference, the current disregard was even more despairing. Concubine Yi felt that her heart had dropped to freezing point.
The emperor still looked at the empress dowager. The solemn and murderous aura emanating from him made the empress dowager feel chilly.
The Queen Mother shook her head and said arrogantly, "She is my person. I can do whatever I want to her. It is not your turn to teach me a lesson!"
The emperor nodded and immediately gave a look to Li Xixi beside him. When Li Xixi followed in, he had already noticed the situation here, but said nothing - after all, he was just a servant.
At this time, Li Xixi quickly took Qiao Yege over, put him behind the screen next to him, and summoned the imperial physician.
Then the emperor made a gesture, and before anyone knew what it meant, a person floated down from the beam...
This person is as light as a leaf.
He was dressed in black and immediately landed behind Concubine Xi, with a dangling knife placed on Concubine Xi's neck.
The sudden change not only frightened the Queen Mother, but even Concubine Yi felt a chill on her neck. The life-threatening coldness made her tremble all over, and her back instantly broke out in sweat. Then she couldn't help crying.
"Aunt, save me!"
Concubine Qi cried like a little child.
When the Queen Mother saw that the Emperor was serious, she immediately slammed the table, stood up, pointed at the Emperor and said loudly: "You...you are so outrageous! How could you do such a thing to your cousin? Just for a maid? How dare you do this to Yun Zhen? You...you!"
"Get started!"
The emperor ignored the empress dowager's verbal attack and murmured in a low voice.
Standing behind Concubine Xi was Fengming. After receiving the order, he exerted force with his hands, and blood instantly appeared on Concubine Xi's snow-white neck.
The blood slowly flowed down from the snow-white skin.
The Queen Mother panicked when she saw that her beloved niece was injured and that the Emperor was well prepared and determined to save Qiao Yege today.
Something is wrong!
The Queen Mother had seen so many intrigues and deceptions in the palace. What kind of scenes had she not seen? Even the Emperor's father, she was capable of fighting.
But why aren't they afraid of this young, useless little emperor who cries and shouts all day long and doesn't want to live anymore?
"You! Stop it! How dare you!"
The Queen Mother walked anxiously to the side of Concubine Yi, her eyes turning red with anxiety.
The emperor stood with his hands behind his back, his hands still stained with Qiao Yege's blood.
"Unless you promise not to interfere with Qiao Yuge's life in the future, otherwise, even if I don't want Yun Zhen's life today, I can still capture her with just one finger."
