Where prosperity ends, flowers never end

Chapter 38: Seeking Death and Making Flowers

Ran Qianxi broke into Qiutang Pavilion and kicked open the door of the cabinet. Baili Yong was teaching Concubine Wan how to paint, and their behavior was extremely intimate!

"what are you doing?"

Baili Yong asked hurriedly.

"What did you say I did?"

Ran Qianxi strode forward and slammed the phoenix hairpin onto the table with a bang.

"I don't want to be the Imperial Concubine anymore. Either you destroy me or you kill me!"

Baili Yong picked up the phoenix hairpin angrily. He was already furious when he heard him call her godfather. She had deliberately favored others for several days without admitting her mistake, and today she was playing tricks on him.

"If you say no, then no, do you think my imperial edict is a toy?"

Ran Qianxi sneered.

"Even if it's just a toy, I'd still be happy looking at it. But your imperial edict only makes me upset!"

"Can you say that again!"

"I will say this ten thousand times today. I will not be the Imperial Concubine anymore. If you don't depose me, I will disturb the harem all day long. I will bring bad luck to whoever you favor, and then I will destroy her face. I have ten thousand ways to make their lives worse than death, but I still don't believe you won't depose me!"

"What do you want to do?"

"What do you want me to do? I want to ask you what you want to do. What did you say when you slept with me? I promised not to let you suffer any injustice, but now you are hanging out in other people's palaces every day and never come to me. I don't have to dominate you and let you do your routine work or spend your days in debauchery. But you don't want me anymore without saying a word, and you still come to ask me what I want to do? Then I will tell you, this damned broken imperial concubine, you can let anyone you want be the concubine, you are a heartless man who cheated on me and then abandoned me!"

After listening to such a long passage, Baili Yong didn't know why he was angry and jealous.

All the women in the harem were submissive in nature. He felt bored even when he had sex with them. He only felt lonely when he saw them being so respectful to him. But when there was someone who dared to argue with him every day and affected his joys and sorrows, he felt different, felt moved, and felt that he had someone to accompany him.

Ran Qianxi turned around angrily.

"That newly-crowned lady is probably Miss Xu, I'm going to take care of her first today!"

After she finished speaking, she walked straight out of the inner hall. Sui Xue and Yu Qing were so frightened that they finally came to their senses and followed her in a trance.

Ran Qianxi called Concubine Xu to the palace and asked her to stand on one foot for several hours. If she fell down even a little, she would get angry with her.

"Hey? How dare you fall down!"

"I know I was wrong, please forgive me, madam."

"Tsk! If you let Baili Yong cripple me, I'll spare you."

"Your Majesty, you have wronged me. I don't have that ability."

"It's okay. It doesn't matter if you don't have the ability. Just go find him and cry."

"Your Majesty, please understand. I will never tell anyone about what happened today. I beg you."

Lady Xu thought that Ran Qianxi was threatening her, so she didn't dare to go to Baili Yong to cry.

When I think about it, before she entered the palace, she was so free and unrestrained that no man could influence her at all. She spent her days drinking, hunting, and going outings.

After standing there for another half an hour, her maid had gone to report, but Baili Yong still didn't come.

"Tsk, are you capable of this little maid? Didn't you teach me how to sow discord?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I dare not do that."

"Tsk, you guys keep saying forgiveness and dare not all the time, no wonder you are so favored, who doesn't like to be obedient?"

"Please, my lady, I am really not favored. Why do you need to punish me personally?"

Another half a quarter of an hour passed, Baili Yong still didn't come, and she lost her fighting spirit.

"Come on, come on, go back first."

Lady Xu stood up straight and bowed.

"Thank you for sparing my life, madam."

Seeing that her lips were slightly dry and beads of sweat were hanging on her forehead, Ran Qianxi felt guilty.

"you come back."

Lady Xu paused and walked back.

"What else do you want, madam?"

"Come here and eat a piece of watermelon before you go back..."

"I don't dare."

"Why are you so hesitant? Are you used to being submissive?"

Lady Xu walked over timidly, and Ran Qianxi asked Yuqing to bring a stool.

"Hey, sit down and eat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine."

After ten days of doing this, there was still no effect. After thinking it over, she ordered someone to call the Concubine Chen.

"This concubine seems to have been with him for a long time. It seems that she has been with him since he was still the crown prince. Their relationship must be deep!"

"Yuqing, please invite Concubine Chen over."

"It's the lady."

"Wait a minute, when you're done, tell someone to report to Baili Yong and tell him I'm crazy."

Yuqing bowed sensibly. She thought Ran Qianxi had figured it out and wanted to compete for favor.

After Chen Fei was called over for a while, Baili Yong also rushed over.

Ran Qianxi thought to herself with pride.

"He really came. This trick can't kill you."

Upon hearing that she was ill, Baili Yong dropped his government affairs and rushed over, only to see that her eyes were bright and sharp.

Ran Qianxi pulled up the kneeling Concubine Chen, and Baili Yong sat on the dragon and phoenix chair without any commotion.

"My queen, please spare my life!"

In June of the 29th year of Tai'an, after the incident of the abortion-preserving drug—

The farce was over. Baili Yong left Concubine Wan's palace and just returned to the council hall. He saw the concubines kneeling on the ground in front of the door, each of them making a convincing argument.

"I beg Your Majesty to depose the Imperial Concubine. Such a vicious person is not worthy of being the head of all concubines."

Baili Yong glanced at Concubine Xie.

"you again."

"Please, Your Majesty, depose the Imperial Concubine."

"I have already found out that Concubine Wan's abdominal pain has nothing to do with the Imperial Concubine!"

Baili Yong wanted to leave, but was stopped by Concubine Xie.

"I cannot allow her to harm the heir to the throne. She is so vicious and unworthy of her position."

"Well, since you can't stand her, just wait until you become the queen and depose her yourself."

Baili Yong turned and left, and Concubine Xie was speechless.

The next day—

The previous dynasty naturally knew about the commotion in the harem, and all the ministers asked him to depose Ran Qianxi, and Ran Qianxi's wish came true.

"I'll say it again, Concubine Wan's abdominal pain has nothing to do with the Imperial Concubine!"

"Your Majesty, even if you don't depose the Imperial Concubine, you must punish her. How about the harem..."

Baili Yong glanced at him.

"Master Gu, I think you are getting old and it's time to take a rest!"

"Pass on my decree. Grand Tutor Gu is old and frail. He should be sent to Luzhou to spend his remaining years immediately."

When Grand Tutor Gu was demoted, all the ministers in the court knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Your Majesty, think twice."

"I have thought it over. Concubine Xie was instigated by the Gu family to stir up trouble in the harem. She harbored a grudge and hired someone to kill the Imperial Concubine. The evidence is irrefutable!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he threw the murder charges off the throne. It was clearly written in black and white that the eldest son of the Gu family had paid a high price to hire the killer.

"Look at Mr. Gu above, is he your eldest son?"

Gu Shiyun fell to the ground trembling with fear. Although he was unaware of his son's murder, the failed assassination attempt on the imperial concubine saved him from the pain of being implicated, so there was nothing to say.

"My lord, thank you Lord for your kindness."
