"Come, take the princess away," Noble Consort Liu ordered. The servants kneeling in the corner hurriedly got up as if they had been granted amnesty. They took the frightened girl from Noble Consort Liu's hands and walked out, trembling.
"My dear consort, don't you want to say something?" Mo Jingqi's voice was not as loud as it usually was in court. Instead, it was full of coldness and hatred.
Noble Consort Liu looked up at him. "What does Your Majesty want me to say?"
"You're laughing at me in your heart, aren't you?" Mo Jingqi pinched Noble Consort Liu's delicate chin and whispered in her ear. His cold breath was like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue. "I know, you're the same as them! No … you look down on me more than them, right? You're happy to see everyone against me, aren't you? "
"Whatever Your Majesty says," Noble Consort Liu said lightly.
"Pa!" Mo Jingqi waved his hand and slapped Noble Consort Liu's jade-like face. Immediately, several red marks appeared. Noble Consort Liu raised her head and looked at him calmly. Mo Jingqi was stunned. "Shang 'er …" Looking at the red marks on Noble Consort Liu's face, Mo Jingqi pitifully reached out to touch it. "Shang' er … it's my fault. I shouldn't have hit you … does it hurt? Why didn't you listen … why did you always go against me? Why did you always care about this and that? Why did you threaten me? I hate being threatened! " The more he spoke, the more agitated Mo Jingqi became. Soon, he forgot his pity and grabbed Noble Consort Liu's shoulders with both hands, shaking and roaring.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! You've wronged Noble Consort Liu! " A little maid suddenly ran out from the side hall and anxiously shouted at Mo Jingqi, "Your Majesty, please let go of Noble Consort Liu … it really has nothing to do with Noble Consort Liu …"
Seeing that Mo Jingqi ignored her, the little maid looked around and found an antique vase that had not been smashed. Gritting her teeth, she walked over and picked up the vase, wanting to throw it at Mo Jingqi's back. Noble Consort Liu's expression changed. She quickly pulled off a beaded flower from her hair and threw it at the little maid. With a crack, the vase fell to the ground and made a crisp sound.
The originally crazy Mo Jingqi suddenly froze as though he had been startled awake. The little palace maid was so scared that her face turned pale, and she knelt on the ground with a plop. When she picked up the vase, her mind was blank and she didn't have time to think. Now that he had sobered up, he remembered what would have happened if he had really smashed it down.
Mo Jingqi had obviously calmed down. He glanced at the little palace maid not far behind him, slowly letting go of Noble Consort Liu and standing up.
As soon as he got up, Noble Consort Liu sat up again. She was still solemn and indifferent. If it weren't for the red mark on her face, people would think that nothing had happened. "Shang 'er, take a rest first. I'll ask someone to change your things later." Mo Jingqi only glanced at Noble Consort Liu, then quickly turned around and kicked away the little palace maid kneeling in front of him. He quickly turned around and left.
Noble Consort Liu stared at the figure that flew away. A trace of resentment and mockery flashed through her cold eyes.
"Niang niang?" The messy palace hall was silent. After a long time, the young palace maid kneeling on the ground carefully called out.
Noble Consort Liu's face had returned to its usual calmness, as though nothing had happened. She said indifferently, "Get up. What happened in the Li Palace today? " Mo Jingqi wouldn't go crazy for no reason. Today was the day of King Li's marriage. There was nothing important. Although Prince Ding's marriage had made him a little anxious recently, he wouldn't suddenly explode. So something unexpected must have happened today.
The little palace maid thanked her and got up. She walked to Noble Consort Liu's side and whispered, "The Empress Dowager went to the Li Palace in a hurry, and then the Emperor summoned King Li, Princess Consort Li, and Consort Xian Zhao to the palace. After King Li left, the Emperor immediately came to see Niang niang. I didn't have time to report this. "Noble Consort Liu frowned." Summoned King Li to the palace? What about King Li's wedding? "The little palace maid said," This is what I wanted to report to Niang niang. The wedding has been canceled. It's said that Crown Prince Jhennam Of Gojoseon of Xiling took the Princess of Xiling and left in a rage. It seems that something happened in the Li Palace … where the womenfolk are resting … "
Noble Consort Liu frowned and waved her hand. "Send a letter back and ask Mother to come to the palace as soon as possible." Even if she was favored, she was always slow to get news from outside the palace.
"Yes, Niang niang niang niang. Niang niang … the Emperor … "
Noble Consort Liu curved her lips and smiled coldly. "It's nothing. He was probably bullied by the Empress Dowager. We'll find a way to help him vent his anger. "The little palace maid pursed her lips and smiled." Niang niang knows the Emperor best. But … the Old Master sent a message to Niang niang, asking Niang niang … to be careful of the Empress Dowager. After all … "After all, the Empress Dowager was a woman who fought her way out of the noble concubines of the late Emperor. Not only did she give birth to two sons, but she also defeated those women and princes and helped her son become the Emperor. The Empress Dowager was definitely not a woman who could be easily dealt with. Noble Consort Liu said lightly, "I know. The Empress Dowager is indeed powerful, but … I'm not weak either! " The Empress Dowager was indeed smart and powerful. But her biggest mistake was that she never understood what her son was thinking.
Did she really think that Mo Jingqi was the only one who couldn't stand her desire to control everything? As long as a man had ambition, he wouldn't be able to stand it. It was just that some people didn't want to, while others couldn't.
In the Ding Palace
In the secret training ground in the depths of the Ding Palace, Ye Li's face darkened as she stared at Qing Luan and Ah Jin, who were using qinggong to fly around in front of her. Qing Shuang, whose qinggong was also not good, hid in a corner and laughed secretly. Even Mo Xiuyao, who was sitting by the side, couldn't help but smile. Ye Li really didn't understand. With her body's coordination, balance, and other qualities, and according to Mo Xiuyao, she had a good physique for practicing martial arts. Why couldn't she learn qinggong?! She could use the plum blossom pile as if she was walking on flat ground. She had even mastered internal energy, which was a mysterious thing in the eyes of modern people. Why couldn't she fly? Luckily, Mo Xiuyao had found a set of qinggong that was said to be suitable for women. Now, even Qing Shuang had learned it well, but she … didn't feel anything!
In fact, if it was a real battle, Ye Li didn't think there was much difference whether she knew qinggong or not. Anyway, she didn't feel any pressure moving up and down a wall that was more than ten feet high. She didn't think that people with good qinggong could do better than her when it came to hiding. If it was a real close combat, qinggong wouldn't be of much use. But … wasn't it the dream of every martial artist in China to be able to move around freely? Since it really existed, based on the principle of having more skills, why didn't she learn it?
"Li, what are you thinking about?" Seeing Ye Li's rare irritation, Mo Xiuyao was very gentlemanly and didn't laugh at her. But from the light in his eyes, she knew that it wasn't that he didn't want to laugh. He just didn't want to laugh.
