"Silly girl, it's all my fault. I insisted on letting you enter the palace and marrying the emperor."
Although the Queen Mother said this, Concubine Ming had no expression on her face and seemed to be immersed in her own world.
Seeing that Ming Fei seemed to have lost her soul, the Queen Mother was even more reluctant to leave. She just sat there and looked at Ming Fei.
Here, the emperor took Qiao Yuge to the imperial study.
The emperor strolled leisurely in the garden, and Qiao Yege followed behind him, just like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. She was curious about everything she saw and always felt that no matter how much she looked at the things around her, she could never get enough of them.
She had never seen the emperor working before.
The emperor seemed to be extremely dependent on Taixing Palace. He ate, drank, defecated and urinated in Taixing Palace, which made Qiao Yuge think that there was no imperial study in the palace.
After the emperor walked in, he saw a woman coming out from the inner room. The woman was wearing black clothes and had her hair tied up, looking neat and tidy.
The woman had no extra decorations and her eyes were sharp. She first paid her respects to the emperor.
After seeing Qiao Yuge, the expression on his face was quite cold, as if he didn't take Qiao Yuge seriously.
Of course, Qiao Yuge did not take this woman seriously, but based on her woman's intuition, she thought that this woman should be able to fight.
The woman was not polite and said to the emperor: "Reporting to His Highness, Feng Wu sent a message saying that they have successfully captured Prince Yun's secret guards, but we have also lost a brother... In addition... it was because of the reinforcements that caught us off guard, otherwise, we would not have lost a brother."
When the woman said this, she immediately turned around and looked at Qiao Yuge with hostility.
Qiao Yege was startled by the look in this woman's eyes, so he took a step back and whispered to the emperor, "Your Highness, why does this beautiful woman have such an expression?"
The emperor thought Qiao Yege was quite interesting and not shy at all, so he turned to look at the woman and said, "Could this sudden reinforcement be Xiao Yuli?"
The woman lowered her head, then looked at the ground and said to the emperor: "Your Highness is wise. It was His Highness who suddenly sent a team of secret guards to ambush us. Even my sister... was injured."
The emperor frowned slightly and said nothing. However, Eunuch Li couldn't help but said, "You said Feng Xue was injured? That little girl is so skilled..."
The woman still glared at Qiao Yuge fiercely, her tone becoming somewhat unhappy, and she said with obvious resentment: "Sister was trying to block the knife for me, so she got hurt. It's all my fault for not being able to do it... But Your Highness, I really don't know why Your Highness has this woman around him? This woman is obviously..."
After hearing what the woman said, Qiao Yuge immediately understood why she was so dissatisfied with him. It turned out that he was attacked by Xiao Yuli when he was performing a mission for them.
As luck would have it, Qiao Yege happened to be Xiao Yuli's cousin.
What had she done to offend anyone? She had never enjoyed any benefits as Xiao Yuli's cousin in the palace, and now she had to take the blame for this man?
The emperor found it funny that Qiao Yege seemed a little nervous, so he grabbed Qiao Yege and said to her with a smile, "You heard it too. Is your brother very ambitious?"
Even though Qiao Yuge was a slow reacter, when he heard the emperor say this, he understood what the emperor meant.
It turns out that Xiao Yuli was also doing some small moves behind the scenes?
The emperor hates Xiao Yuli, not only because he is the son of a woman who hurt the emperor's mother, but also because he is obsessed with the throne.
Qiao Yuge really didn't think about this, but then again, which man wouldn't be tempted by the throne?
Rather than being shocked by knowing this, Qiao Yege felt more embarrassed. After all, she was also the emperor's enemy.
In fact, the emperor didn't need to bring himself here, which made Qiao Yuge even more embarrassed after hearing the news.
She lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, there is actually no need for you to bring me here. I shouldn't know these things. Aren't you afraid that I will tell Your Highness about these things?"
The woman was also quite unconvinced and said, "That's right, Your Highness, why do you insist on letting this woman get involved in these things? Do you trust her so much?"
The emperor had already sat down. There were too many official documents on the table. He flipped through them one by one, looked at them, and threw them on the table. He said to the woman, "Feng Shuang, why do you think a woman can have the ability to control the world?"
Although Qiao Yuge also thought that she was a piece of crap and that she really had no ability to change the world, wasn't it a bit too much for the emperor to say that? Did he really take her seriously?
If the emperor could say something else, Qiao Yuge would at least feel a little happier, but the emperor insisted on torturing himself like this.
She stood there with her lips pouted and her hands behind her back, obviously in a bad mood.
Feng Shuang was not convinced, and pointed at Qiao Yuge and said, "Your Highness, since this woman came to your side, look at how many things have happened around you? You still say that this woman has no ability to control the world? But in my opinion, this woman can send Ming Fei to the cold palace, so she is still incapable?"
Send Ming Fei to the cold palace?
It is true that Qiao Yuge did have such an idea, and he did it, but there were many inconsistencies in it. This inconsistency once made Qiao Yuge feel that God was helping him.
She didn't contribute much.
But at this moment she wanted to see the emperor's reaction.
Sure enough, the emperor was holding a pen in his hand, writing something with his head down. When he heard Feng Shuang say this, he chuckled and said, "You have been with me for so many years, why do you still have so many prejudices against women? In your eyes, can't women be a little scheming?"
"But Your Highness?" Feng Shuang was anxious and wanted to say something, but the emperor waved his hand and said to Feng Shuang: "Your Highness and Prince Yun have obviously joined forces. I think they don't trust each other very much. They will definitely make other moves next. I must be on high alert."
Feng Shuang was choked by the emperor, and was really choked back to her senses. She looked at Qiao Yege fiercely and unwillingly, wishing she could rush up and strangle Qiao Yege to death.
Qiao Yege could understand Fengshuang's thoughts very well, but people should still be reasonable, right? Qiao Yege didn't kill those people.
Besides, if he hated her, why not hate the emperor? After all, the emperor and Xiao Yuli were brothers!
