Chapter 7 The Queen's Selling
"Empress? How...how...how can this be disgraceful?"
Emperor Yongping stared at the person on the ground for a long time before he vaguely recognized that it was the empress based on her figure and voice.
Lin Fu struggled hard and finally got up. However, when he heard Emperor Yongping calling her "Empress", he was so scared that he quickly lay down on the ground again.
I was still silently saying in my heart, 'Your Majesty, please don't recognize me. I fell and my face is covered with blood. You will definitely not recognize me.'
Cui and Chu Yanjing looked at each other, and neither of them intended to greet the empress.
Seeing the Queen in this state was a sin for them.
If I go forward to greet them, I'm afraid both Emperor Yongping and the Empress will be embarrassed.
It would be best for them to reduce their presence and pretend that they don't exist.
"Your Majesty, you must make the decision for me. My Fengming Palace... the main hall of Fengming Palace is about to be crushed by the crows."
The queen fell quite hard, and for a moment no one recognized her, let alone dared to step forward to help her.
She simply sat on the ground and started crying.
Everyone in her palace had 'fainted' on the ground. She came alone after the guards had cleaned up the palace.
Of course, she deliberately did not wake up the palace maids to help her wash and dress, nor did she let the imperial physician to treat her injuries.
She wanted to look like a wolf, so that Emperor Yongping would feel sorry for her.
Having been in the palace for ten years, she has always used coquettish and weak tactics, and she has always achieved her goals without fail.
"Come here, quickly help the Queen to the side hall and wash up properly."
Emperor Yongping became a little nervous when he saw the empress covered in blood.
He had seen with his own eyes how Nanny Zhu turned from a healthy person into a skeleton. What if the crow followed the empress to the study?
Queen: “…”
In the past, whenever she cried, Emperor Yongping would hug her and comfort her out of pity, and would grant her every request. Why is it not working today?
Chu Qinshu was holding the jade pendant in her mouth and smacking her lips. When she heard that the empress was coming, she immediately pricked up her ears.
Because she was in Emperor Yongping's arms, she could clearly feel his nervousness.
However, she couldn't tell whether Emperor Yongping's nervousness was due to fear or heartache.
I just thought that it was the halo of the heroine in the original book that influenced him.
[Alas, I don’t know how the queen did it. The emperor was willing to be her stepping stone. In the end, he not only lost his life, but also lost his country.]
Chu Qinshu felt very sad.
She thought that she could sleep peacefully with the support of Emperor Yongping.
I didn’t expect there is such a thing as the heroine’s halo.
It seems that she has to make preparations for both scenarios.
Although Emperor Yongping's expression had returned to normal, he was shocked in his heart by what Chu Qinshu had just said.
Not only did he lose his life, he also lost his kingdom?
Are you talking about him?
He cherishes his life, but he cherishes even more the kingdom passed down to him by his ancestors.
Therefore, he would never allow such a thing to happen.
What about being a stepping stone? The queen is still young, and there is no capable person in her mother's family. Could it be that...
"Your Majesty, if Fengming Palace collapses, I will be heartbroken to death.
The palace is full of treasures bestowed upon me by Your Majesty, and I cannot bear to see them destroyed by those crows."
The Queen had failed to achieve her evil goal, so she naturally did not want to be sent to a side hall. She acted coquettishly in a pretentious manner with her messy hair and purple face.
Chu Qinshu was in Emperor Yongping's arms, so he couldn't see her, but he didn't find it an eyesore.
But the sound still gave her goosebumps.
Emperor Yongping glanced at the empress sideways. He used to enjoy her coquettish behavior.
But today... he really couldn't bear it.
[The Queen is carrying the Worm Valley, and the crow is a product of the Worm Valley. If she wants to recall the crow, it is just a matter of words. How could she let the crow overwhelm the Fengming Palace? She said this just to soften the heart of the Emperor.]
[Alas, she deliberately waited for me to be born and released the crow, so that the emperor would think I was unlucky and burn me to death.]
[Grandpa, my daughter is so scared. You must protect her. She doesn’t want to die.]
While Chu Qinshu was complaining about the empress in her heart, she subconsciously leaned into the arms of Emperor Yongping, trying hard to squeeze out a crystal smile in her eyes.
Those little tears, which seemed to be falling away, looked so pitiful.
Emperor Yongping didn't know whether he was frightened by Chu Qinshu's inner voice or was really fooled by her cute appearance.
His face darkened, and he said to the empress, "Ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to take inventory, and I will replace the damaged items for you."
Queen: “…”
Her Gu...her ultimate eighteen moves to kill men are not working anymore?
"Your Majesty, don't you think the crows in Fengming Palace are strange? A girl was born in the East Palace today, and a large number of crows flew into the palace. Crows are unlucky in the first place..."
The empress did not dare to say much as she had started off unsuccessfully. She only said half and kept the other half, hoping to test whether Emperor Yongping would agree with her.
[Wuwuwuwuwu, Your Majesty, look at the Queen. She is starting to harm me. My daughter is so scared.]
Chu Qinshu tried her best to get into Emperor Yongping's arms again.
The look on her face, as if she wanted to drill into his stomach, made Emperor Yongping feel distressed.
There was so much information contained in Chu Qinshu's thoughts that he couldn't tell the truth from the false.
But he could still hear the Queen's blatant slander against the Eastern Palace.
"What do you mean, Queen? The appearance of a crow in your Fengming Palace has nothing to do with the East Palace."
Emperor Yongping's face darkened, his eyes stern.
The queen was stunned. Why would the emperor ask her that?
According to past practice, the crow flew into Fengming Palace and the birth of a daughter in the East Palace happened on the same day. Shouldn't the emperor immediately summon the imperial preceptor to ask for advice?
Could it be that the one the emperor is holding in his arms is the newborn bastard from the Eastern Palace?
As soon as she entered the hall, she fell and was missed.
"Your Majesty, I just said it casually. You should let the Imperial Master make the calculation to see whether it is a good or bad outcome."
As the queen spoke, she motioned to the two maids who had been waiting beside her to help her up, as if they were going to go to the side hall.
However, when he was passing by Emperor Yongping, his footing became unstable and he fell on him.
Emperor Yongping: “…”
Fortunately, his body reacted faster than his brain, and he quickly moved to the side just as the queen was about to pounce on him.
"Pada~Boom~"
The queen accurately bumped into the desk behind him, fell under the desk, and her head hit the chair leg behind her.
"Empress~"
The two maids who were supporting her were both terrified. They had been serving in the emperor's study for so many years, and it was not the first time they had seen concubines throwing themselves on the emperor.
This is the first time I've seen someone like this being caught in a case.
“Wow~Wow~Wow~”
Chu Qinshu was frightened by the sound of the Queen falling down and started crying unconsciously.
She was not a timid person by nature, but perhaps it was because she could not control the instinctive reaction of her small body, so she just followed her feelings.
Just take it as a celebration of the occasion.
Emperor Yongping: “…”
