As soon as she heard that the emperor was coming, Yue Lanzhi immediately shivered and the comb in her hand fell to the ground.
What should I do? He's coming! Yue Lanzhi felt scared every time she thought of the abnormal things she experienced. It's clearly daytime, why does he want to come now? Doesn't he need to deal with state affairs? What is he doing here?
Niang niang, what's wrong? Palace maid Chun Xing stepped forward and saw Yue Lanzhi shivering. She wanted to call for help but was stopped by Yue Lanzhi. Don't, Chun Xing, this consort is fine.
Niang niang, do you not want the emperor to come? Chun Xing looked around and saw that there was no one else, so she asked in a low voice. Although Chun Xing was a new palace maid, she had stayed in Changqiu Palace for a few days and could see some problems.
It seemed that every time the emperor came, Niang niang would be afraid. Moreover, Yue Lanzhi was like a mouse seeing a cat when she saw Wanyan Lie.
Once, Chun Xing saw Wanyan Lie smile at Yue Lanzhi with her own eyes. Yue Lanzhi's face immediately turned pale with fright. Although she was surprised that Noble Consort Yue, who was favored in the eyes of outsiders, would act like this, Chun Xing wasn't stupid. She knew the rules of the palace, so she tightly shut her mouth and didn't say anything. Now, it seemed that the Imperial Consort was not as glamorous as others thought.
Hearing Chun Xing mention Wanyan Lie, Yue Lanzhi shivered again. Not only did she not want him to come, she never wanted to see him again! This man was not a human, but a devil!
Chun Xing, don't say anything, otherwise you and this consort won't live.
Chun Xing was the sixth palace maid she changed. The previous palace maids were all dead. Chun Xing was a good person, so she saw Chun Xing as a little sister, so she reminded her.
Seeing Yue Lanzhi's pale face and serious eyes, Chun Xing nodded, Niang niang, don't worry, I won't say anything.
Come, dress this consort and take out that snow robe. The emperor likes me to wear white. Although she was afraid, Yue Lanzhi knew that she couldn't escape and could only bear it. Only by making him happy could she live a good life. Not to mention, her family and people were in Wanyan Lie's hands. Even if not for herself, she had to do it for her parents and younger brother.
When Yue Lanzhi was dressed up neatly, the voice of "His Majesty has arrived" came in. Yue Lanzhi took a deep breath, pulled out a smiling face to the mirror, turned around and walked out.
"This concubine welcomes Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!"
Yue Lanzhi smiled and bowed in front of Wanyan Lie. Wanyan Lie snorted and entered Everautumn Palace with a flick of his sleeve.
What was going on? The servants of the Changqiu Palace were all surprised. Was the emperor in a bad mood today? Yue Lanzhi's complexion did not look good. Wanyan Lie's bad mood meant that her days would not be good.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you today? Did those old fogeys in the imperial court anger you again? " Taking a deep breath, Yue Lanzhi smiled as she followed behind Wanyan Lie. She had Chun Xing bring over some white fungus and lotus seed soup. "Please calm down! Don't lower yourself to their level. Come, have a taste of the white fungus and lotus seed soup that I personally stewed. I specially made it for you! "
Yue Lanzhi maintained a sweet smile from beginning to end, which made Wanyan Lie's complexion look a little better.
"Come! This concubine will feed you! " Yue Lanzhi carefully blew on a spoonful of tremella and brought it to Wanyan Lie's mouth. "Your Majesty, please have a taste!"
"Not bad!" After tasting a mouthful, Wanyan Lie grabbed Yue Lanzhi's hand and pulled her in front of him. Jing De immediately waved his hand and everyone else withdrew, leaving only Wanyan Lie and Yue Lanzhi in the room.
Yue Lanzhi's heart was beating fast. Although Wanyan Lie's grip hurt her, she did not dare to make a sound. She still had a gentle smile on her face as she softly asked Wanyan Lie, "Your Majesty, what's wrong? Is there something on Yue 'er's face? Or is there something wrong with Yue 'er's makeup today? "
Wanyan Lie did not speak. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Yue Lanzhi's beautiful face, motionless. He maintained this posture for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. Only then did Wanyan Lie let go of her hand. "We said, noble and elegant. How come you still can't learn it after studying for so long? In the end, you come from a small family. No matter how much you wear, you can't change your poverty! "
Wanyan Lie's words were sharp and unkind. Yue Lanzhi felt uncomfortable listening to them, but she could only endure it. After respectfully bowing to Wanyan Lie, Yue Lanzhi softly smiled. "This concubine will follow Your Majesty's teachings! This concubine will learn it as soon as possible! "
"Forget it!" Wanyan Lie waved his hand. "You wait here. We will go down and reflect on your actions! If you still can't learn it, then you will suffer the same fate as those women before! "
Wanyan Lie got up and walked to the bedside. He twisted the night pearl on the bedside. With a 'zhi' sound, the bed collapsed, revealing a black passageway.
When Wanyan Lie's bright yellow figure disappeared into the passageway, Yue Lanzhi's legs softened and she collapsed to the ground. Thank goodness he's alright, thank goodness he's alright today! She hoped that today would be a peaceful day! She hoped that after he saw the 'her' below, his mood would be better and he would not torture her again!
Wanyan Lie stepped on the stairs and walked down. This was a tunnel. The walls on both sides of the tunnel were inlaid with night pearls the size of a fist. At the end of the tunnel was a spacious and bright hall. Unlike the cold outside, the temperature here was moderate, just like spring.
The entire hall was decorated like the boudoir of a daughter to be married off. The bed, wardrobe, table, chair, dressing table, and even the rouge on the dressing table were all present. If someone accidentally entered, they would definitely think that they had entered a woman's boudoir. However, this woman seemed to have a preference for white. Whether it was the gauze curtain she wore or the dress in the wardrobe, it was all a simple and elegant white. It made people wonder what kind of pure lady lived here.
In the middle of the hall, there was a white warm jade bed that was gurgling with warm air. On the bed, unexpectedly, there was a woman in white lying down.
"Yue 'er, big brother is here to see you!" Unlike the rough and cold attitude from before, Wanyan Lie was gentle and affectionate. He came to the bed and held the woman's hand, placing it on his face.
"Yue 'er, did you miss big brother? Did you have a good time today? Big brother came to see you after dealing with government affairs. Are you happy? "
Wanyan Lie said to himself. The person on the bed did not say anything. Instead, her eyes and mouth were closed, as if she was sleeping soundly. If Murong Qiqi was here, she would definitely cry out in surprise. This was because this woman looked very similar to her. The Yue 'er that Wanyan Lie spoke of was Wanyan Mingyue, who had died fifteen years ago.
