Qin Yi saw the familiar figure on the high platform from afar. He walked over in a trance, getting closer and closer until he saw the person who loved him in the past. He found that Shen Shuyi was very different from the last Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.
Originally, he just wanted to come and see if she was having a bad time, and wanted to see her begging him to take her out of the palace.
As a result, he saw that she was not only becoming more and more beautiful, but her temperament was also very different. When Qin Yi thought of how well she was living beside the emperor, he felt a strong sense of unwillingness in his heart.
In particular, the scene of the emperor teaching Shen Shuyi riding and shooting often appeared in his mind, and he felt crazy and uncomfortable.
“Chen Shuyi, have you forgotten how you used to be so timid and self-deprecating around me?”
"Have you forgotten how much you once loved me?"
"Do you remember how you cried miserably when I was about to send you to the palace for selection?"
Shen Shuyi sneered, "My Lord, can't you afford to lose?"
"What?" Her words made the angry Qin Yi suddenly unable to say anything else.
Chen Shuyi snorted, "You are like a three-year-old child at this moment. You start to throw a tantrum when you can't get what you want. We have no relationship for a long time. Why are you pestering me?"
"It's just for that pitiful bit of self-esteem."
“Chen Shuyi, what nonsense are you talking about?!”
"Is it difficult to admit that you are jealous of His Majesty?"
Shen Shuyi's light words completely broke Qin Yi's defense.
Qin Yi's face was gloomy, and after he calmed down, a hint of hidden cruelty flashed in his eyes.
This woman must be playing hard to get. He didn't believe that the woman in front of him really had no love for him at all.
After figuring it out, Qin Yi's mood changed drastically, and his voice softened when he spoke again.
"What do you mean it doesn't matter? Yi'er, have you forgotten that I was the one who accompanied you in Jiujiang County... I know you hate me for bringing you back to the Xiangfu and forcing you to participate in the selection."
"Since it was me who brought you to the capital, I will be responsible for you. I will take you out of the palace after I have made arrangements."
"Leaving the palace?"
"How are you going to place me after I leave the palace? What about Shen Fu?"
Qin Yi said silently: "Of course I will take you to the prince's residence. As for Fu'er, she is sensible and will not embarrass you."
Shen Shuyi sneered, “I am His Majesty’s favorite concubine. How capable do you think you are to take me out of the palace? Who do you think you are?”
"Go away."
Qin Yi tried to see the hidden love in Shen Shuyi's eyes, but there was none.
He subconsciously reached out and tried to forcibly hold down Shen Shuyi's shoulders, wanting to ask her why she had changed her heart.
In a flash, a deep voice rang out.
"What is your Highness going to do to my beloved concubine?"
When Qin Yi heard the familiar voice, his pupils shrank and he looked up at the emperor who was striding towards him.
When he met Qin Hao's terrifyingly cold eyes, his heart suddenly weighed on his chest.
The moment Shen Shuyi saw Qin Hao, his heart began beating violently.
"Your Majesty, why are you here?"
"If I hadn't come, how would I know that my beloved concubine and the prince had a past." The emperor's tone was filled with anger, and it was obvious that he was greatly stimulated.
Chen Shuyi thought for a moment and said, "I'm sure you know about the conversation between me and the prince. That's all in the past. I have never done anything to let you down since I entered the palace."
Qin Hao was amused by her sudden indifference. It turned out that her previous obedience and admiration were all fake. Her whole heart was once on this useless prince.
What a waste of her beautiful eyes!
In order to protect her safety in Shanglin Garden, he sent so many secret guards to protect her, not wanting her to get hurt. What the secret guards had never brought was the secret between her and the prince.
Now she could still tell him so calmly that nothing was wrong. It was the first time that Qin Hao discovered that his beloved concubine was so powerful.
Qin Hao looked at Qin Yi, "Why don't you step down?"
Qin Yi was stabbed by his cold eyes and subconsciously took a few steps back before striding away.
At this moment, the hatred in his heart reached its peak. Why could Qin Hao possess Shen Shuyi? If it were not for the pressure of imperial power, he did not believe that Shen Shuyi would be unwilling to leave the palace.
Qin Hao looked at Shen Shuyi, “Don’t you have anything else to say?”
"If your majesty believes me, I won't have to say anything." Shen Shuyi returned his gaze.
Qin Hao quickly calmed down and asked, "Why didn't you tell me before?"
Shen Shuyi chuckled and shook her head, "How could I dare to say that when I first entered the palace? If His Majesty is unhappy, will I still be able to enjoy happiness in the palace?"
"Do you think I have a way out? My biological father only wants me to enter the palace to select the concubines for his legitimate daughter. Leaving the palace is also a dead end. How can I bear to give up the rich and luxurious life in the palace?"
Qin Hao is very angry that she calls him "I" all the time. In the past, she always disobeyed the palace rules and called herself "I" in front of him, but he was not angry at that time. But now that she has grown up, he feels annoyed.
The emperor's expression became increasingly gloomy. He had thought that she would beg for mercy with soft words, but he had never expected that this woman was even more stubborn than he had imagined.
It was as if he was saying that if he didn't believe her, it would be his fault as the emperor.
Qin Hao raised his hand and pinched her chin, looking carefully at her stunning face, "For the crime of deceiving the emperor, aren't you afraid that I will sentence you to death?"
"Then please issue an order immediately, Your Majesty. I will die cleanly and will not be a nuisance to Your Majesty." Shen Shuyi raised her head slightly and looked at him, her eyes misty.
When Qin Hao saw her red eyes, his heart ached. When she said she wanted to die quickly, he wanted to cover her mouth immediately.
Can't she say something soft?
"Concubine Zhao!"
Shen Shuyi shuddered at his sharp gaze, and tears came.
"What else do you want me to say? If you knew what the prince had done to me, you wouldn't question me like this."
Qin Hao pinched his brows and laughed angrily, "My Concubine Zhao is really amazing. Do you still need me to comfort you?"
"No." Shen Shuyi shook her head, "I don't think you need to be angry about this matter. After all, I have nothing to do with the prince now."
"He's also going to take you away from the palace."
"That's his wishful thinking. I can't bear to leave the palace."
Qin Hao felt a lump in his throat.
Good, very good, she couldn't bear to give up the luxurious life in the palace.
What about him? Where did she put me?
Qin Hao took a deep breath, "Do you have me in your heart?"
Shen Shuyi covered her mouth with a handkerchief and vomited for a while, then suddenly turned her back to the emperor and spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Your Majesty doesn't trust me, so why should I humiliate myself?"
When Qin Hao heard the sound of her nausea, he pursed his thin lips and the veins on his forehead throbbed.
She also said that she wanted to bear a dragon heir for him.
Now you feel uncomfortable seeing him?
Big liar!
Shen Shuyi heard the footsteps gradually fading away, turned around and saw Qin Hao's broad back as he left.
She returned to the bedroom and did not see the emperor that night, and even the man did not come back the next morning.
