"This is good. This way, ben gong will have someone to keep me company. "The Empress smiled slightly, but she was secretly relieved.
Even though she was the Empress, she knew that in front of Pang Xiao, even though she was the Son of Heaven's wife, she was still weaker. Not just her, even the Son of Heaven only dared to do things behind her back. In front of Pang Xiao, he could only act like a brother in front of the officials and resist being labeled as a meritorious official.
Therefore, if Qin Yining shook her head and refused at this time, the Empress really couldn't force her to stay. She was willing to nod. For the Empress, this was a kind of gentle respect.
The Empress had always had a good impression of Qin Yining. Now that she saw Qin Yining being so considerate and obedient, she felt a wave of comfort in her heart.
She couldn't help but wonder, such a smart and sensible woman, was she really a woman lacking in virtue? Qin Yining was born in a famous family and had a long history. From their previous interactions, she knew that she was a person of noble character. The Empress really couldn't believe that she had an affair with Zhong Yibo.
The Empress's heart was in a mess. But no matter what, if she kept her by her side, if there really was an affair, she could cut off contact right under her nose. She could also beat her. It could be considered her doing her best as the Empress.
The Empress ordered Sun momo to prepare a residence for Qin Yining.
Sun momo walked at the front and led Qin Yining, Ji Yun, and Bing Tang along the corridor to the west side courtyard. She smiled and said: "The east side courtyard is occupied by Concubine Zhuang niangniang. Wang fei will have to live in the west side courtyard for the time being."
"Sun momo is too polite. This subject's status is lowly. It is already a great fortune to be able to live in the same courtyard as the Empress. "
When Sun momo heard this, she immediately helped the Empress. The Prince Zhongshun consort's words couldn't be faulted.
Sun momo settled them down. She also specially went outside to inform Jing Zhe and the others, who were disguised as coachmen and manservants, of Qin Yining's carriage. "Please return to the fu and inform Wang Ye that Her Highness the Empress and Wang Fei hit it off very well and will be staying behind to accompany Wang Fei for a few days."
Jing Zhe's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He was wondering why she hadn't come out after waiting for so long. It turned out that she had been detained by the Empress!
The four of them glanced at each other and agreed submissively.
After returning to the residence, Jing Zhe and the others did not even have time to change out of their wet clothes before they hurried to look for Pang Xiao.
Upon hearing that it was Qin Yining's men who urgently requested to see him, Pang Xiao, who had been reading on the warm couch in the study, immediately sat up, threw the book aside, and walked out quickly.
"What's going on? Has Wangfei returned? "
"Let's go back to Wang Ye. We sent Wangfei to Bie Yuan and waited outside for more than two hours before an elderly mama came out to inform us that the Empress and Wangfei hit it off very well and will be staying by Wang Fei's side for a few days. We didn't dare to delay and hurried back to report to Wang Ye. "
When Pang Xiao heard this, his expression gradually became serious.
The current Empress was just an ordinary woman in the past. She did not come from an influential family and did not have a strong family to support her. Her personality was also gentle and warm. She was not a woman who had her own opinions and courage. He did not expect that the wheel of fortune would change. The current Empress was already able to handle matters for Your Majesty and take charge of matters independently.
He could no longer underestimate the Empress's abilities and temperament.
"Investigate. Why did the Empress suddenly keep Wang Fei? She's not an unreasonable person. There must be a reason for this. "
"Yes, Wang Ye."
The subordinates accepted the order and hurriedly left.
When Pang Xiao returned to the study, his expression was somewhat unhappy.
He had just rushed over from the capital and had not even spent a few days with his wife before the Empress came to interfere. He probably really did not get along well with the imperial family. Otherwise, no matter what he did, there would always be changes whenever he encountered the imperial family. Even his family could not be reunited because of them. Now, he and Qin Yining were forced to temporarily separate.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
But Pang Xiao was not a person who would be swayed by emotions. He had already sketched out a way to protect Qin Yining in his heart.
Unlike Pang Xiao's nervousness, Qin Yining's days were quite comfortable.
However, because of the Empress's orders, Qin Yining came to accompany the Empress to eat, pray, and pray for the peace of the world. Therefore, he ate very monotonously every day. When he had nothing to do, he would go with Concubine Zhuang to accompany the Empress to pray in the temple.
In reality, Qin Yining was not an impatient person. Although his personality was straightforward, he could still remain calm when he encountered something. However, there had been too many irritating things recently that made him angry. He was no longer as gentle as before.
Now that he was following the Empress to eat meat and pray, it calmed his restless heart.
There were some things that he could not understand when his heart was not at peace.
However, after chanting for two days, Qin Yining felt that he could understand some things that he could not understand.
Qin Yining knelt on the thick praying mat next to the head of the table and twirled his prayer beads.
Concubine Zhuang, who was kneeling on the other side, would often secretly open her eyes to observe Qin Yining.
Even though she had been conceited about her beauty since she was young and had become the woman by Your Majesty's side, she had to admit that even if the Qin Clan wore plain clothes and silently knelt there, he looked like a carefully carved jade carving. It was truly too pleasing to the eye.
Thinking of her weeping and arrogant cousin, Concubine Zhuang suddenly felt that even if Lu Heng really had feelings for the Prince Zhongshun, it was human nature.
Everyone has a love for beauty.
… …
At the moment of agreement, Lu Heng slowly walked into the main room of the inner courtyard of the Lu fu. His expression was dark and the corners of his mouth were pursed in displeasure. Seeing the servant girls and women who were drawing tiles with Bian Ruohan, Lu Heng stood with his hands behind his back and ordered in a deep voice, "Leave."
Hearing this, Bian Ruohan threw away the tile in his hand in displeasure.
"Oh, Boye is busy with official business. Why did you think to come back today? You really are stepping on lowly ground. "
Bian Ruohan already felt like a broken jar had been smashed. This man was so disgusted with her. Why should she flatter and curry favor with him? She wasn't born to be lowly than anyone else!
Lu Heng didn't respond and slowly walked towards Bian Ruohan.
Bian Ruohan only felt an invisible pressure envelop her. For a moment, she couldn't help but stand up and retreat until she bumped into the table behind her. The white porcelain on the table fell to the ground.
There was the sound of porcelain breaking. Before she could react, Lu Heng had already grabbed her hair and forced her to raise her head.
Bian Ruohan's eyes widened in disbelief. The pain in her scalp made her raise her hand to grab Lu Heng's fingers. She screamed in a hoarse voice, "What are you doing! How can you treat me like this! "
Lu Heng said in a deep voice, "I have something to ask you. I ask, you answer. Don't make me waste my energy."
"You, who do you think you are? What right do you have to speak to me like this! You coward, bullying a woman. You're not a man! "
Lu Heng smiled coldly. "I'll say it again. I have something to ask you. I ask, you answer. Don't make me waste my energy. Do you understand? "
In the dimly lit room, Lu Heng's cold smile made people tremble with fear.
There was a sudden flash of lightning outside the window. The white light illuminated half of Lu Heng's face, while the other half was hidden in the shadows. It was even more terrifying.
Then there was the sound of thunder.
Bian Ruohan was so scared that her whole body trembled. Her voice trembled. "You, you ask …"
"What did you say to Zhuang Pin?"
"I, I didn't say anything. She's my cousin. When we sisters meet, we naturally have to say some intimate things."
"What intimate things?"
"Just, just what to eat and what to use. You, you're a man. Why do you care about us women?"
Lu Heng snorted. "Bian Ruohan, do you think that everyone is an idiot and that you're the only smart person in the world?"
Bian Ruohan glared. She was so angry that she couldn't speak.
"I'll say it again. What did you say? Don't make me investigate. "
Being pressured by Lu Heng like this, Bian Ruohan was both frightened and angry. The words that came out of her mouth did not go through her brain.
"You're back to force me. Do you want to kill me? Ah? Let me tell you, Lu! I told Her Majesty about your affair with that slut from the Qin Clan! Her Majesty is the role model of all women in the world. She hates sluts like the Qin Clan the most. Just you wait and see how she dies! Haha! "
Lu Heng was expressionless. Her thin lips were tightly pursed. She gradually increased the strength in her hands. Her knuckles turned white from clenching. Bian Ruohan was in so much pain that tears fell from her eyes. She wailed, "You bastard, let go of me! How dare you! I'm going to tell my cousin! Let go! "
Lu Heng suddenly flung his hand away. Bian Ruohan stumbled and fell to the ground. Her hand happened to stab into a piece of broken porcelain. She screamed in pain.
Lu Heng said, "I've never seen such a stupid woman like you. You insist that there is something that doesn't exist. You can't wait to push your husband away. You can't wait for the whole world to laugh at your husband. Let me ask you, what good will it do you if I'm punished? "
"Even if there's no good, I won't let you have her!"
"You're making trouble for no reason! There's nothing going on between me and her! "
"Who would believe you if you say there's nothing going on!"
"You can make a big deal out of something you don't have any evidence to back it up. You're really a troublemaker. From now on, you'd better behave yourself and not disturb Concubine Zhuang or the Empress. If you dare to take even half a step, I'll dare to remarry next year. "
Bian Ruohan was so frightened that her entire body trembled. Lu Heng wanted to kill her?
"You dare!"
Lu Heng smiled faintly, "You can try." He turned and left after saying this.
Bian Ruohan sat on the ground in a daze. Lu Heng's venomous smile made her shiver. He would kill her, he would kill her … … Even if she was poisoned to death here, Lu Heng could find a reason for her sudden death. She … … would she die?
The more Bian Ruohan thought about it, the more scared she became. She hugged her knees and buried her face in her hands, crying loudly.
Lu Heng angrily walked back to the study. After he entered, he angrily swept the Yantai brush washer and other things off the table to the ground.
Lu Wenru came in in a panic. He was afraid that something would happen to Lu Heng. Seeing how angry Lu Heng was, he didn't dare to come forward. He could only quietly stand in front of the door.
Lu Heng was so angry that his face was white. He put his hands on both sides of the table and lowered his head. In a muffled voice, he said, "She must have misunderstood me."
Lu Wenru immediately understood why Lu Heng was acting this way.
When he raised his head, Lu Heng gritted his teeth with red eyes and said, "She was summoned by the Empress for no reason. She was kept at the Empress's side to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures. She must not have been humiliated."
