She shrugged and gave a cold laugh, thinking, No matter what tricks you pull, I have plenty of ways to deal with you.
She changed into her martial arts training clothes and followed palace maid to the imperial garden.
"Empress, your Imperial Concubine is waiting for you up ahead." palace maid smiled, she moved faster and faster, afraid that she would miss that scene.
Hu Xiao looked at her back, her heart filled with suspicions, as she followed the footsteps of the palace maid, walking faster and faster.
But when she reached the imperial flower garden, the smile on her face froze. No wonder Xue Mier had asked her to admire the flowers.
What appeared in front of her was the scene of Qin Shuo and Xue Mier pulling and tugging at each other.
Xue Mier purposely fell on top of Qin Shuo’s body, holding onto her chest and crying, "Your majesty, chenqie’s here hurts, cousin is lying on the bed, but chenqie can’t do anything. In his eyes, chenqie is just a weak little girl."
Xue Mier sobbed softly. From the back, the two of them looked extremely intimate, Hu Xiao’s eyes were filled with rage, this damned Qin Shuo, was still hugging onto Xue Mier tightly.
Qin Shuo hesitated for a moment, then hugged Xue Mier. His heart softened, and suddenly felt that sshe was too biased, and that he had let down the other women in the palace.
Seeing Xue Mier sobbing, he felt even more that it was her own fault. He patted Xue Mier’s shoulders and comforted him: "Dear Consort, you should go back first.
After Xue Mier heard his words, she took a deep breath and shook her head, then said softly, "Your majesty, chenqie only wants to stay in your embrace and not go anywhere. It’s been a long time since your majesty has hugged chenqie like this, chenqie is really blissful right now."
Her arm was wrapped around Qin Shuo’s waist, and her head was buried in his chest. This feeling was something that she had been infatuated with for a long time.
Qin Shuo frowned slightly, but still did not push her away, and instead advised: "Dear Consort, in the future, there will be more chances. Listen to us, go back, cultivate inside your Bedchamber, and we will find a time to see you again."
Hearing this, Xue Mier knew that she would definitely make Qin Shuo unhappy if she stayed any longer. She simply stood up from his embrace, raised her head, and first saw Hu Xiao, who was behind Qin Shuo.
She laughed to herself. It was better to arrive early than by coincidence. If she were to bump into this scene, she would probably die from anger.
She lowered her head, smiled, and did not tell Qin Shuo about what happened.
Following that, she looked pitifully at Qin Shuo, then picked up Qin Shuo’s face and kissed his face. Seeing that Qin Shuo did not refuse, she then moved her lips to Qin Shuo’s lips.
"Your majesty, chenqie hasn’t kissed you like this in a long time." Xue Mier wiped away the tears on her face, "If the emperor could squeeze out some time to accompany chenqie in the future, chenqie would definitely be very happy."
The moment she finished speaking, she stood up on her tiptoes and swept her soft lips across Qin Shuo’s face. With a reluctant look, she and Hu Xiao’s attitude formed a stark contrast.
His inaction had angered Hu Xiao. It was fine for Xue Mier to take the initiative to seduce him, but Qin Shuo actually did not reject him. This man who kept saying that he loved her was actually in such a terrible state.
Hu Xiao was enraged, she clenched her fists tightly, her breathing became heavier and heavier, the anger rampaging in her heart like a volcanic eruption, she kicked the stone pillar beside her.
Hu Xiao squinted her eyes. She stood there unmoving, allowing the stone fragments to hit her body. Her body was in pain, but at this moment, Hu Xiao truly experienced what it was like.
Hearing the voice behind him, Qin Shuo slowly turned around. He was stunned when he saw Hu Xiao, who was standing behind him.
Why was Xiaoxiao here? How long had she been here?
"Xiao-Xiao, are you alright?" Qin Shuo said with a pained heart, not because he was heartbroken about the stone pillar that fell, but because he was heartbroken about the Hu Xiao who was covered in dust.
Hearing this, Hu Xiao felt that it was extremely funny.
How funny!
"Sneaking around. Heh, your majesty, in the imperial garden, it’s so elegant!" Hu Xiao clenched her fists tightly, she almost wanted to kill this adulterous couple with one punch.
Although Qin Shuo was the emperor of East Court, and was from the Three Palaces and Six Houses, she had always treated Qin Shuo as her own husband. Now that he saw Qin Shuo and Xue Mier hugging each other, she felt that Qin Shuo had betrayed her.
Qin Shuo walked a few steps forward, looked at Qin Shuo, and said calmly: "Xiaoxiao, it’s not like what you saw. It was just a coincidence that we met each other."
If he hugged her and kissed her, then explaining too much would become a sly excuse, so Qin Shuo had no choice but to say that.
"Dear Consort called me ’the Emperor’, and said it wasn’t like what I just saw. Do you two think I’m blind, have you been hugging each other this whole time, and even kiss intimately!" Hu Xiao said angrily. It was a normal thing to do, but in Hu Xiao’s opinion, it was immoral.
Xue Mier only sneered in her heart, thinking, I’m also the emperor’s concubine, what right do I have to let the empress hug you while I can’t? Before you came to the East Court, the emperor was mine alone. Why couldn’t you kiss between imperial concubines?
Naturally, Xue Mier would not say these words. As Qin Shuo stood in front of her, she knew that she had to be a reasonable woman.
Her legs bent as she knelt on the ground, crying, "Sister empress, please spare me! When chenqie saw the beautiful flowers blooming in the garden, she stopped to watch for a while. Unexpectedly, she met the emperor.
Xue Mier tried her best to take care of everything on him, but she was extremely afraid. She had seen Hu Xiao’s methods before, if she were to hit him, who would she cry to?
She glanced at Qin Shuo from the corner of her eyes as she cried. Seeing him standing there unmoved and not saying a single word, Xue Mier immediately panicked a little.
But she firmly believed that the emperor would help her.
"Carrying the emperor? "Haha, just now you even took the initiative to kiss the emperor, and you’re even crying. What are you talking about?" Hu Xiao had a bright smile on her face, but if one looked carefully, they would be able to see the bitterness in her smile.
No matter how open-minded she was, she couldn’t be happy when someone close to her was with another woman.
With that, Hu Xiao stopped smiling, turned and said: "Come, follow me to the hall to talk, let’s talk."
Her voice was cold and gloomy, as if she was trying to suppress the anger in her heart.
