"I'll keep today's incident to myself. If anyone dares to gossip about it, I will not forgive them!"
The emperor looked down at the palace maids and eunuchs kneeling beside him, and his cold voice made them tremble in their hearts.
The palace maids and eunuchs lowered their heads and replied weakly, "Yes."
"Okay, go do your own thing."
After the emperor said this, he took Shen Mingyue's hand and walked into the house.
[Wow, victory! I can survive for a while longer!]
[Thank you to the Tathagata Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, the Monkey King, and the Jade Emperor... I kowtow to you all!]
[Tyrant Godfather, you are like a sparrow eating a cricket—a sparrow eating a cricket!]
Su Qiqi giggled in Qiuhe's arms.
Shen Mingyue stopped and turned to look at Qiu He: "Let me hold you."
Hearing this, Qiu He walked forward and handed Su Qiqi to Shen Mingyue's arms.
[Woo woo woo, those who survive a great disaster will surely be blessed in the future! My dear Concubine, let's find a way to change the plot. We won't be cannon fodder!]
Shen Mingyue looked at Su Qiqi and smiled gently: "So good."
"Let's go inside first."
The emperor reached out to hold Shen Mingyue's hand, but Shen Mingyue was holding Su Qiqi and had no time to pay attention to him.
So the emperor could only withdraw his hand awkwardly, with a hint of depression and resentment in his eyes.
Back in the house, there were no outsiders around.
The emperor finally couldn't help but whispered, "Mingyue, where did you hide the dagger with the words on it?"
"W-what?"
Shen Mingyue was stunned.
Then he lowered his head and smiled, calmly putting Su Qiqi into the cradle.
She raised her head and looked directly at the emperor: "So Your Majesty still doesn't trust me? Do you think I will really betray you?"
There was no crying sound, no tears, and she even had a half-smile on her face.
But it was this kind of Shen Mingyue that made the emperor feel very distressed.
"What are you guessing about? I just want you to hand over the dagger to me so I can destroy it as soon as possible to avoid any trouble in the future."
The emperor's ears turned red with anxiety.
He raised his hand and stroked Shen Mingyue's cheek. "Mingyue, I know that Concubine Jing bribed Qiuju to deliberately frame you. Unfortunately, today is not a good time. Don't worry, I will not let her survive this year."
He had to wait, wait for the opportunity to catch all those people behind Concubine Jing in one fell swoop!
"ah?"
Shen Mingyue frowned slightly and advised gently, "Don't be impulsive. Jingpin's father is the Minister of the Court. After all, there are some connections between the former court and the harem. You..."
"She has such wicked ambitions that she dares to set her sights on you. How can I let her stay?"
It can be seen that the emperor is really angry.
At this moment, he did not look like a majestic king at all, but rather like a young man full of vigor and vitality.
Shen Mingyue felt a little dazed for a moment.
It seemed that the person in front of her was not the almighty emperor, but the little follower with whom she used to talk about everything regardless of status.
And she is not a concubine trapped in the palace, she is the free and unrestrained Shen Mingyue.
"Don't worry, I have my own arrangements."
The emperor took Shen Mingyue into his arms and rested his head on her shoulder: "Mingyue, I shouldn't have dragged you into this treacherous and turbulent harem. I couldn't make you my first wife, nor could I always protect you."
Shen Mingyue asked, "Are you going to divorce me and drive me out of the palace?"
The emperor shook his head in embarrassment: "I can't bear to do it."
Shen Mingyue smiled softly, turned her head and leaned close to the emperor's ear, saying, "What a coincidence, I can't bear to leave either."
As soon as she finished speaking, she pushed the emperor away, sat down on the couch by the window, and laughed wantonly.
Seeing this, the emperor also laughed, his eyes full of doting.
Su Qiqi in the cradle spread her five fingers and covered her face, howling in her heart:
[I can’t bear to look at this! It’s so sweet!]
[The little wolfdog and the high-class flower, this combination is amazing! ]
[Stop talking nonsense, just kiss, hug, and lift me up! ]
Shen Mingyue: ...
emperor:………
Both of them felt a little embarrassed, but they had to pretend nothing had happened.
Shen Mingyue cleared her throat: "Um...how do you know that it was Concubine Jing who deliberately framed me?"
"this……"
He couldn't just admit that he had seen through Su Qiqi's thoughts, right?
This reason is too mysterious. No one would believe it even if I told them, and it would easily cause trouble for Su Qiqi.
Moreover, if Su Qiqi was scared, she might not dare to speak freely in the future.
so……
The emperor thought for a moment and said, "I am the ruler of a country after all. I have planted many spies in the imperial court and the harem."
"Oh~" Shen Mingyue nodded thoughtfully.
The emperor walked over and sat beside Shen Mingyue, holding her in his arms: "Where is the dagger with the words on it?"
Shen Mingyue no longer concealed the truth and said frankly, "It has been dealt with long ago. Even if Pei Yi came in person, he wouldn't be able to recognize that the unrecognizable scrap metal is his dagger."
A few days ago, she got up early in the morning and cooked a bowl of thick and sweet white fungus and jujube paste soup for Su Qiqi. At the same time, she threw the dagger into the earthen stove in the small kitchen and burned it for several hours.
The words engraved on the dagger's handle had long since burned to ashes.
It was impossible for the guards to turn over the ashes under the earthen stove and examine them carefully, nor would they have thought that the piece of broken iron that was beyond recognition was the so-called "token of love."
That's why she dared to let the guards search the palace.
In fact, she had arranged all this on purpose.
How could she possibly stay with such an ungrateful maid?
And Concubine Jing...
