The Cold-blooded Emperor's Vengeful Concubine

I had a sleepless night, tossing and turning, just unable to fall asleep.

Yun Jingman washed and dressed early. Since Ning'er left, she learned to dress herself. From now on, she can only rely on herself. In this world, no one can be relied on, except herself...

The summer sun comes earlier and more vigorously than ever before. The light in the early morning is so strong that it is difficult to open your eyes. It is so overbearing.

The sunlight filled the entire bedroom, making it bright and spacious. Yun Jingman looked around the palace idly. He was in such a hurry yesterday that he didn't even have time to take a look at the Qingyue Palace.

The room was decorated in a simple and elegant style, lacking the solemnity and grandeur of the imperial palace and having a more elegant feel of books. There was actually a guqin placed in the side hall. With her slender hands, she plucked the guqin; it sounded so familiar.

Her jade fingers lightly plucked a string, and the sound was as clear as the moon, just like the guqin she played in Tongyin Palace back then, but how could it be...

Walking forward, there are books piled up on the desk, and the fragrance of ancient books wafts through. An unfinished game of chess is placed on the coffee table, with the black and white pieces refusing to give in to each other, surrounding each other, each looking for a breakthrough to strike the other in one blow. There is also a neatly arranged tea set next to it.

Books, chess, and tea ceremony were once her three favorite things in this strange world. Now it seems that things and people have changed... The books are still the same books, the chess is still the same chess, and the tea ceremony is still the same tea ceremony, but her heart is not the same as before...

The peach blossoms still smile in the spring breeze, but I sigh that people's hearts have long turned cold...

This palace is really strange...

"Empress, Empress, are you awake?" There were faint knocks on the door.

"Get up and come in." Yun Jingman lifted her skirt and sat down straight.

A little palace maid walked in and bowed respectfully to the seated Yun Jingman, "Your Majesty, Concubine Yan pays respects."

"Empress Yan?" Yun Jingman frowned slightly. It was only the first day and a concubine came to visit. Empress Yan, is she the new concubine taken in during the past three years?

"Yes, Concubine Yan is waiting in the main hall." The little palace maid, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, was inevitably a little timid when facing the bride whose temper she didn't know.

Looking at the trembling little palace maid below, Yun Jingman suddenly thought of Ning Er, the woman who treated her very well and loved to fight for her...

"What's your name?" Chu'er asked. At such a young age, she saw Ning'er in her past.

"I am Chu'er, your servant, replying to Her Majesty's words." She lowered her head, not daring to look at Yun Jingman.

"Well. Let's get ready. Don't keep Concubine Yan waiting for too long." Yun Jingman lifted up the hem of his clothes, stretched out his hand, placed it on Chu'er's hand, straightened his body, and walked towards his three thousand concubines.

In addition to killing him, she also wants to turn his harem upside down.

(Qingyue Hall, Main Hall)

Yun Jingman took a deep breath, straightened her body, and stepped into the main hall gracefully and calmly, with a decent smile on her lips. She had not learned in vain in the past three years...

A tall figure in red clothes stood with her back to Yun Jingman. When the woman turned around and looked at Yun Jingman, Yun Jingman hid his decent smile.

“Zi Yan?” That charming and cold beauty was definitely Zi Yan. Could this be Concubine Yan?

"Yeah." Zi Yan nodded slightly.

"All of you go down. I want to talk to Concubine Yan alone." Yun Jingman ordered in a cold voice.

"Yes." The palace maids in the room quickly retreated, leaving Yun Jingman and Zi Yan alone.

Yun Jing glanced around and after making sure that no one was around, he quickly walked up and said solemnly, "Zi Yan, why are you here?"

"Both of us are tributes presented by the Modan Kingdom to Emperor Xuanhui. You attracted too much attention last night. This is not good for our actions." Zi Yan said coldly.

"Tribute? Master, do you know?" Yun Jingman regretted the moment he said that. How could the master not know? Isn't this the result of three years of hard work?

Is it necessary to make such a fuss? Didn't we already know this?

Zi Yan glanced at Yun Jingman, sat down sideways, picked up the teacup, and started drinking by herself.

"I'm sorry, I was impulsive last night." Yun Jingman apologized, even though she felt that she had done nothing wrong.

"You must gain the trust of that dog emperor as soon as possible, steal the Xuanhuang Dynasty's military deployment map, and then kill him." Zi Yan said viciously.

"Army deployment map?"

"Yes, someone needs it. Just steal the military map, and don't worry about other things." She was always cruel, cold and charming.

"What about you? Concubine Yan." Yun Jingman suddenly felt cold. Zi Yan was actually here to supervise her. It was not like what she said that they were all tributes. She was just here to urge her actions.

She is not stupid. After a hard fall, how can she not be more careful?

"Me? I won't accept your favor." They are all smart people, and they know each other's thoughts clearly.

"Oh, is that so?" It turned out that the person who had lived with me for three years actually just treated me as a pawn. Zi Yan was like this, and the master was probably like this too.

Who can she trust in this world? Who can she rely on?

"I know what to do. Concubine Yan, please also keep your duty. It's okay, it's better not to come to Qingyue Palace, so as not to attract too much attention." Yun Jingman said coldly. No one in this world can be trusted, she can only be on guard and rely on herself step by step.

"I hope it's as you said." Zi Yan put down the teacup, turned around and left. Before leaving, she said coldly: "Think about what the master has done for you. Don't let the master down for cultivating you."

The sound drifting away in the void slowly drifted into my ears...

Yes, she couldn't let Gu Yue down for what he had done for her. Even if he was using her, she was willing to give her everything and let him use her. So what could she complain about now?

She was shaken too much... She called Chu'er and went to the imperial study...
