Chapter 189: Mind Control
Si Linglong was very nervous.
Everyone waited in Shouxin Hall for a long time before Helian Yue slowly came in the sunlight.
The man was tall and straight, and the black and gold brocade robe made his figure look even straighter and taller. His face was incredibly handsome, and although he exuded a cold aura, people could still not help but be intoxicated by him.
But Si Linglong was in no mood to admire this man's handsomeness at the moment.
[I told you to drag me to sleep, now it’s your turn. Next year, the grass on my grave will be covered with snowflakes.]
As soon as Helian Yue approached, he heard the person's angry heartbeat. He raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that it was no big deal for her to be like this.
He looked calm as he walked forward to pay his respects to the Queen Mother without even glancing at any of the concubines. He only said, "I, your son, was not strict in disciplining the harem and offended you, Mother."
On the way here, he already had a general idea of the situation.
The phoenix eyes swept across the concubines in the room and finally fell on Bai Qianqian's face. There was a cold and intimidating look in that gaze, without a trace of emotion, which made Bai Qianqian's heart tremble. She lowered her head and dared not speak casually anymore.
Helian Yue snorted in his heart, turned his head, and finally looked at the central protagonist of this incident - Si Linglong.
Some people, although they looked extremely calm on the outside, had actually already cursed the troublemaker in their hearts and were thinking frantically at the moment.
[How should I hint to Helian Yue that he didn't hold me to sleep yesterday, but was reading Buddhist scriptures to me in the room? ]
[I should have reconciled my statements yesterday. ]
【The dog man misunderstood me! 】
[With Helian Yue's brain, he certainly can't think of such a great and glorious excuse to recite Buddhist scriptures to me in the house. I'd better prepare to die. ]
Helian Yue's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he wanted to laugh but was also angry.
This woman never forgets to discredit herself even when she is complaining in her heart.
It's really a waste to be so nice to her.
The other concubines in the room all looked at the Queen Mother.
Now the person has been called, but how should I ask this question?
You can't just ask directly, son, what did you and Lang Guipin do in the room yesterday?
This is also against the rules.
Then, the Queen Mother spoke directly, and she was not ambiguous at all. "Since the matter has come to me, I will make the decision and ask clearly what the Emperor did when he visited Concubine Lang Gui yesterday?"
When the Queen Mother said this, everyone fell silent.
I thought to myself, Your Majesty, you are too direct!
Can you ask this question like this?
They are all girls raised in aristocratic families. They usually pay attention to being subtle and reserved. They really don't dare to do this.
Also, they had rarely seen the Queen Mother since entering the palace, so naturally they were not clear about her character.
Simply put, the Queen Mother is a person who cannot tolerate any sand in her eyes.
If you blow sand into her eyes, she will dare to rub it in your face.
Among the crowd, only Gu Qingquan looked calm as ever. She casually picked up the teacup and took a sip. The concubines in the harem were idle.
If you are dissatisfied with something, why not just have a fight?
Although Si Linglong felt that the question was too direct, she did not take it as seriously as the other concubines. She just looked at Helian Yue eagerly, trying to pass him notes with her mind.
[Recite the Buddhist scriptures for me, recite the Buddhist scriptures for me, recite the Buddhist scriptures for me. ]
The devilish sound repeated so many times that Helian Yue almost laughed out loud.
Fortunately, he always managed to keep his composure, and his expression did not change. He only spoke to the empress dowager in a calm voice, "Lang Guipin is ill, and I felt that her mind was not at peace, so I read Buddhist scriptures to her for a while."
Everyone present, including Si Linglong, was stunned.
The concubines were incredible, were they really chanting sutras?!
The emperor doesn't look like a good person.
Ahem! I'm wrong. The emperor seems to be a man who only does big things, but he can actually do such a small thing as chanting sutras...
Si Linglong was even more stunned.
[I…I succeeded in controlling it with my mind!!]
Helian Yue: ...
What you mean is that you have successfully controlled it with your mind.
It's clearly the devil's sound.
