Concubine Ming looked up suddenly and met the Queen Mother's eyes.
Qiao Yuange was standing not far behind the emperor. When he looked up at Concubine Ming, he felt something was wrong.
She seemed stupid, with dull and confused eyes.
"What am I doing? I'm dying! Aunt, I can't stay in this cold palace for even one more day. It's horrible here. There are no people around. It's so desolate. Even the bed is damp. There are bugs and rats!"
"Please save me! If you don't save me, I will die today!" After saying this, Ming Fei was about to jump into the well. The two maids beside her rushed up and grabbed her arms.
The Queen Mother is already over 100 years old, how could she bear to watch such a scene?
She said with tears in her eyes, "When did I say I wouldn't save you? You couldn't hold on after just one night? What do you want me to say about you?"
The Queen Mother, supported by Nanny Hua, wanted to pull Concubine Ming.
For a while, the entire cold palace was in chaos.
But the emperor just stood there, with his hands behind his back, watching this farce quietly.
Seeing Qiao Yuange standing not far behind, the emperor paused for a moment, then waved to Qiao Yuange.
His movements were casual and carefree, with a smile on his face, as if he had encountered something interesting.
Qiao Yuange came over and stood beside the emperor, and the emperor couldn't help but ask softly, "Excuse me, when I was seeking death, I was also so embarrassed. Was it so artificial?"
Qiao Yuange nodded and lowered his voice and said, "Indeed, it is not only artificial, but also more exaggerated than this. The larger the movement, the louder the sound."
And embarrassingly, he dug out a palace with his feet.
The emperor looked at Qiao Yuange's serious expression and thought he didn't seem to be joking. He immediately put his chin on his hand and looked at Concubine Ming with a frown.
Qiao Yuange thought that the emperor finally realized how ugly she looked, but she heard the emperor say seriously: "I think Ming Fei's expression is too serious. Even if she wants to die, it is enough to achieve her goal. She does not have to die."
"It's all thanks to the Queen Mother being here. If I were the only one here and she still did this, and I didn't care about her, what would she do? Wouldn't she have ruined the show?"
Your Majesty, do you still want to say this?
Doesn't this prove that the emperor was always clamoring to die, but he was just putting on an act for others to see?
Qiao Yuange raised his eyes to look at Ming Fei, only to see that there was no light in Ming Fei's eyes long ago. Her entire body seemed to have been emptied of its soul, and every move she made was filled with despair and relief.
Qiao Yuange immediately turned to the emperor and said, "Your Highness, is there a possibility that... Concubine Ming really wants to die?"
The emperor was still watching this farce, carefully analyzing and trying to figure out Ming Fei's thoughts.
But when he heard Qiao Yuange say this, and saw Ming Fei's actions at this time, the emperor finally realized that what Qiao Yuange said seemed to be true.
He immediately said casually: "In my opinion, if Ming Fei died, it doesn't seem to be a big deal. After all, I can't stand it if she dares to cheat on me behind my back. If she really died, it would be considered a little dignified. I respect her as a man!"
Qiao Yuange curled her lips, not knowing whether the emperor was joking or really speaking from his heart.
But obviously, when Qiao Yuange met the emperor's eyes, he could see that the emperor was actually reluctant to do anything to Ming Fei.
Although the emperor did not love Mingfei, she was still a playmate who grew up with him, and she was also a human life.
No matter how the Empress Dowager tried to persuade Concubine Ming, she couldn't get over it.
Of course Ming Fei also knew that the Queen Mother could not change her mind this time. After all, it was impossible for the Queen Mother to rescue her from the cold palace now. Only with the Emperor's nod could she come out.
She pressed on step by step, hoping that the emperor would let her leave the cold palace because she grew up with him.
But who could have thought that the emperor didn't move at all. Not only that, when he looked at her, there was even a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and his face seemed to say: I see through your trick at once!
Ming Fei averted her gaze, made up her mind, and planned to jump into the well.
She struggled violently, her movements were quite large, and she definitely didn't want to live anymore.
Several maids grabbed Mingfei, but she struggled like a fish on the shore.
The Queen Mother was so frightened that her voice was filled with tears. She cried to Ming Fei, "Please, can you please not die? If you die, what will I do if I am left alone?"
Ming Fei didn't care about these things at all, instead she insisted on seeking death.
When the Queen Mother saw that nothing she said would work, she immediately turned to the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, what nonsense are you talking about! You grew up together, how could you bear to watch her die?"
The Emperor then looked at Concubine Ming and said calmly, "Oh, she wanted to commit suicide. I can understand that. After all, if it were anyone else, they would be punished with the entire clan if they betrayed me. Not only did she not die, she was only staying in the cold palace. I guess she also thought she had no face to live and was ready to end her life, right?"
Although he was a heartless man, Qiao Yuange felt like he had gotten rid of his anger!
Every evildoer will receive his due punishment!
Seeing that the emperor was not buying it at all, even Ming Fei, who had been struggling, regained her senses and looked up at the emperor.
I wonder why the emperor could say such a thing?
Of course, the Queen Mother first said to the Emperor: "But she is your cousin. You grew up together, didn't you? In your heart, such feelings are nothing at all?"
The emperor just shook his head and said to the queen mother: "Ming Fei will never come out of the cold palace, no matter if she wants to die today or jump into the well, no matter what means, even if she dies, it is not allowed!"
The Queen Mother really didn't expect that the Emperor could say such cold words. She was stunned at first, and even Concubine Ming was stunned.
She was making a fuss there, and in fact she knew that no matter how she made a fuss, it all depended on the emperor's attitude. But now it was too late, and the emperor's attitude was already quite obvious.
Although Mingfei was the emperor's woman, the emperor actually had no feelings for her.
So the emperor seemed unwilling to show any tenderness to Concubine Ming.
The emperor had no expression on his face and his hands were behind his back.
Qiao Yuange felt sorry for Ming Fei as she saw that the situation was getting worse. He wanted to say something to change the situation.
But in an instant, she stopped her action.
She is not some saintly saint, so why should she forgive Ming Fei?
When this woman hit her, she didn't think about not hitting her so hard!
So Qiao Yuange said nothing and watched everything quietly.
Seeing that the emperor had no expression, the Queen Mother was quite disappointed.
