At this moment, all the concubines were thinking the same thing: Could it be that Prime Minister Jun is going to make Bai Li a concubine? Heaven help us, please don't let this scourge stay in the palace any longer, otherwise we will all be doomed.
"Husband, I, I was forced back then..." Bai Li looked at Jun Jiuxian with tears in her eyes, trying to evoke all their sweet memories.
Jun Jiuxian: "?" How come I didn't know we had sweet memories together?
Bai Li wiped away her tears again with her handkerchief, feeling extremely aggrieved. When she was with Zongzheng Shen, she had considered this outcome, but she always thought that Jun Jiuxian would like her and forgive her. She never thought that Jun Jiuxian would one day despise her. This realization was like a heavy blow to Bai Li.
"Li'er!" Upon hearing Bai Li's words, Zongzheng Shen's face showed a hint of sorrow. Even losing the throne and the country was nothing compared to the pain caused by Bai Li's words. His handsome face showed a hint of hurt, but he quickly concealed his expression: "Come here!"
"Husband, please let him go, please let him go, I beg you, I'll give you anything you want." Bai Li had been pleading with Jun Jiuxian, hoping to rekindle their past relationship, but when she saw Jun Jiuxian raise his sword to kill Zongzheng Shen, she cried tears of joy like beads from a broken string.
Lu Qingyan: Heh, you want to have both of them? You think you're so great?
Bai Li ignored Zongzheng Shen's words, only trying to undress herself: "Let him go, I, I'll give you my body, I..."
"..." Lu Qingyan looked at the farce in front of her, her eyes twitching: "Imperial Noble Consort, you have just given birth and your body is still weak. I'm afraid it is not advisable for you to have sexual intercourse."
As Lu Qingyan spoke, she looked up and glared at Jun Jiuxian, thinking to herself, "What a troublemaker! I'll settle the score with you later."
Jun Jiuxian blinked innocently: I have absolutely no relationship with this woman.
The two exchanged glances, completely oblivious to everyone else, though only General Lu noticed. "Sigh," he thought, "I don't know what stroke of luck my daughter had. Even as Empress, someone's willing to fight for the throne for her, especially since Jiu Xian is so handsome."
Bai Li's delicate face flushed crimson upon hearing Lu Qingyan's words, then turned deathly pale. She trembled, like a leaf falling in the autumn wind, staring pitifully at Zongzheng Shen, then at Jun Jiuxian, her lips bitten tightly. Her pitiful appearance made it seem as if Lu Qingyan had just committed some heinous crime against her.
A bold concubine couldn't help but speak up in condemnation: "Look at her seductive appearance, even at this moment she's still trying to seduce the Emperor and Prime Minister Jun to stand up for her. So what if she's pretty? What's so great about disfiguring her face?"
The white oriole trembled when it heard those words, as if it were very frightened.
At this crucial moment, Jun Jiuxian specifically asked Lu Qingyan, "Your Majesty, do you think I should listen to what that lady just said and have my face slashed? Actually, although Your Majesty is not as beautiful as the Imperial Noble Consort, you are still one of the most outstanding women in the palace."
Lu Qingyan's fist clenched slightly inside her sleeve. No woman would be happy if her partner praised another woman, especially her looks or talent.
Jun Jiuxian, do you want to die?
Huixiang, who was standing next to Lu Qingyan, immediately noticed the change in her mistress's mood and silently lit a candle for Prime Minister Jun.
