Seeing that there was no one around, Concubine Ning gathered her clothes and stopped pretending.
"Gu Jinqiao, are you feeling very proud now?"
"Your Highness, I don't understand what you're saying. I'm just doing my duty as a concubine and serving the Emperor. What's there to be proud of?"
Gu Xiaoqiao smiled and asked, "If your majesty called me just to say these words, then I'm afraid you've got the wrong person. If you have no other instructions, then I'll take my leave."
She said and turned to leave.
"Stop right there!"
But Concubine Ning reached out and stopped her, stopping her where she was.
"Does the Queen have any other instructions?" Gu Xiaoqiao asked with a frown.
Concubine Ning bit her lip and stared at her, "Today I will let you know the consequences of offending me."
"Your Majesty, are you planning to push me down?"
Gu Xiaoqiao smiled innocently, "I am just a delicate and frail woman, please don't scare me."
"Your guess was pretty accurate, but only half right."
Ning Fei's smile became more sinister and strange. Gu Xiaoqiao's smile instantly froze into ice. She asked warily, "What on earth do you want to do?!"
"Nothing, just to let you know that it's not easy to get by in this palace."
After saying that, she suddenly grabbed Gu Xiaoqiao's hand, pushed herself, and started screaming loudly.
"Ah! What are you doing?"
After saying that, she fell off the bridge. Gu Xiaoqiao quickly grabbed her, but the force of the fall was too great and she fell down with her.
Concubine Ning's screams resounded through the sky, and the palace maids rushed over.
There were only two "splash" sounds, and huge splashes of water suddenly appeared on the surface of the lake.
When everyone arrived at the lakeshore, they saw Gu Xiaoqiao and Concubine Ning both fell into the lake, struggling to float up and down in the water.
"Someone! Someone come quickly! Concubine Ning and Lady Gu have fallen into the water!"
For a moment, the Imperial Garden was in chaos and confusion.
After Gu Xiaoqiao and Ning Fei both fell into the lake, they fought with each other for several times, each trying to step on the other to float up.
Perhaps Concubine Ning had become too delicate in recent years. She was much stronger than Gu Xiaoqiao but her hands and feet were much clumsier than hers, so she drank a lot of lake water when she was stepped on by Gu Xiaoqiao.
Seeing that more and more people were gathering on the shore, Gu Xiaoqiao stopped and gave up resisting Concubine Ning.
She waved her arms desperately, choking on water several times, "Help... Help..."
…
Half an hour later.
Emperor Mian looked gloomily at Concubine Ning who was kneeling beside him, while the imperial physician was taking the pulse of the unconscious Gu Xiaoqiao on the other side.
"Your Majesty, please believe me. It was Concubine Gu who pushed me into the water."
"Concubine Ning, that's enough!"
Di Mian was furious and slammed the table. "You keep saying that it was Concubine Gu who pushed you, but how did she also fall into the water? And the person lying unconscious in the bed is her, not you, Ke Ning!"
"I am wronged!"
Concubine Ning immediately defended herself, "It was clearly she who pushed me over. The palace maids and eunuchs who were present at the time all saw it. Your Majesty, you can't just protect Concubine Gu just because she is your favorite.
"I have been with the Emperor for more than ten years. Doesn't the Emperor believe what I say now? Is it possible that all the affection the Emperor had for me in the past was fake?"
"Concubine Ning, don't go too far!" Emperor Mian's face looked extremely ugly.
"I was too indulgent in the past, which is why you have become the abominable person you are today. Let me tell you, if anything happens to Concubine Gu today, I will not show any mercy to you!"
After hearing his words, Concubine Ning felt a sudden pain in her heart.
Hateful face...
She had never seen such an expression of annoyance on the emperor's face before, but today it appeared on his face...
He actually hates her so much?
Are her feelings for him over the years worthless in his eyes?
"Hahaha, what a hideous face!"
Concubine Ning suddenly stood up and started laughing, tears streaming down her face. "Your Majesty, I have devoted so many years of my youth to you, and in return you receive such an evaluation from you. You really hurt my heart!"
"If you knew how Your Majesty regarded me, I should have killed her today. Otherwise, how could I possibly live up to your evaluation of me?"
"presumptuous!"
Emperor Mian immediately slapped him hard.
Concubine Ning covered her face where she was hit, her cheek was red and swollen.
"Your Majesty...you actually...beat me for this bitch?"
Her expression was sad and her eyes were full of disbelief.
Calling her a bitch made Emperor Mian's face even darker.
"Come here, Concubine Ning has behaved inappropriately in front of the emperor and is acting crazy. She has been imprisoned in the cold palace. No one is allowed to release her without my permission!"
When Concubine Ning heard this, her face turned pale.
Cold Palace?
Imprisoned in the cold palace?
The emperor actually wants to lock her up in the cold palace!
"No, I don't want it!"
She suddenly knelt down and grabbed the emperor's sleeve tightly.
"You can't treat me like this! Didn't you say before that you would forgive me no matter what I did wrong?"
When Concubine Ning heard that she was going to be locked up in the cold palace, she instantly regained most of her rationality.
She forgot that he was an emperor now.
He is no longer the gentle Ninth Prince.
Di Mian impatiently pulled back his sleeves, "Let go!"
"Your Majesty...how could you do this? Are you going to abandon me?"
"No! I will not leave the emperor!"
Concubine Ning seemed very excited, staring at him with wide eyes.
Emperor Mian was driven to desperation and yelled, "Get out of here!"
Seeing this, all the palace people in the hall were stunned.
This was the first time that the Emperor was so angry with Concubine Ning, and it was because of Noble Lady Gu.
It seems that Concubine Gu is the most important person in the emperor's heart.
"Come here, are you all deaf?"
Emperor Mian shouted harshly, with a strong murderous look in his eyes.
The eunuchs and palace maids around him dared not disobey Emperor Mian's order. They immediately rushed forward, picked up Concubine Ning, and prepared to drag her out.
But at this moment, a majestic voice came from outside the door, "Wait!"
