My elder sister is so noble, this time it's my turn to strike back

For a moment, the entire hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

About a century passed, and just when everyone felt that their inner endurance had reached its peak, they suddenly heard a light sigh from above.

"Oh! That's a good story indeed."

"It is said that before I entered the palace, the Queen and your Majesty had a youthful friendship, and at that time, your Majesty had said that he would give the Queen a luxurious palace as a token of his affection. However...

"Hey, Lady Liu, there are no outsiders here. I'll just tell this story here, but please don't let it get to the Queen's ears. Otherwise, I'm afraid that by then, even I won't be able to protect you. Do you understand?"

Liu Qingqing: ???

Queen?

When did she say Queen?

I'm talking about you, how are you?

Liu Qingqing looked up in surprise, and happened to meet Wan Rongyue's eyes, which were not smiling much. A white light flashed quickly in her mind.

Wan Rongyue did this on purpose.

She deliberately misinterpreted her own meaning and applied it to the queen.

Damn it! If this gets out, how can the Queen let me go?

Liu Qingqing wanted to bite her teeth to pieces, but she still had to put on a look of gratitude.

"Your Majesty has taught me that I must be careful with my words and actions in the future."

Seeing that the smoke of war was quickly resolved by Concubine Wan, the ladies could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, they made up their minds that if they met the brainless Liu Qingqing again, they would stay as far away from her as possible.

Afterwards, everyone chatted for a while, and Wan Rongyue dismissed everyone on the pretext of being a little tired.

But only Liu Qingqing was left.

Since there were no outsiders around, Liu Qingqing simply stopped pretending and directly asked Wan Rongyue:

"Your Majesty, did you do that on purpose? You know perfectly well that I didn't mean to imply anything about the Empress. But by saying that, I have completely offended the Empress.

I have never offended you, but why did Your Majesty harm me like this?"

Liu Qingqing had preconceived ideas and put herself in the perspective of a victim, looking at Wan Rongyue with an accusing look on her face.

Wan Rongyue smiled gracefully, slowly scraping the foam from the tea leaves in the teacup, and instructed Qingye beside her:

"Such words and actions are reckless and rude. It seems that the Queen has not taught you how to survive in this deep palace. Qingye, slap your face!"

"Yes! Concubine."

Qingye followed the instructions and quickly moved in front of Liu Qingqing and slapped her in the face.

"Snapped!"

Being caught off guard like that, Liu Qingqing was in disbelief. She covered half of her face and stared at Wan Rongyue.

"You have no respect for your superiors and are committing treason. Beat me again!"

"Snapped!"

Another loud slap was heard.

After being slapped twice in a row, Liu Qingqing finally realized that Wan Rongyue wanted to punish her severely while others were away.

She covered her face, sneered, and said sarcastically:

"Oh! Is the Imperial Concubine afraid?"

"You deliberately waited until the other concubines had left before punishing me. It was simply because you saw that I was the first one to sleep with His Majesty yesterday, and you were afraid that Your Majesty would get tired of you, so you tried every possible way to destroy my appearance.

You are simply relying on your status to bully me so wantonly. But, my lady, there are only more and more young and delicate women in the palace. Do you really want to kill all of your majesty's women like Ah Jiao did?"

Liu Qingqing covered her aching cheek with her hands, her eyes filled with sarcasm, as if she was the final winner.

"How dare you! Lady Liu, you are just a little beauty. You have only served His Majesty for one night. Do you really think you are invincible?" Qingye was the first to speak and scold.

Where does Liu Qingqing get the confidence to challenge the Imperial Concubine? Is she really not afraid of death, or does she think that she can be fearless just because she has the Queen's support?

Liu Qingqing straightened her back, with an attitude that would rather break than bend: "I'm sorry, I was anxious just now and bumped into Your Majesty, but what I said was all from my heart. If Your Majesty wants to continue to use her status to pressure me, I have nothing to say."

In this way, if Wan Rongyue continued to attack her, it would be considered that she was using her status to bully others and was arrogant and domineering.

If the emperor heard about this later, it would also reduce his favorability towards the imperial concubine.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Wan Rongyue was not annoyed. Instead, she curled her lips and smiled slightly, looking relieved.

"Oh! I thought that since the Guo family valued her so much that they changed her identity and sent her to the harem, she must be a smart person. Now it seems that she is just a fool with an empty appearance. If that is the case, I feel much more relieved."

When Liu Qingqing heard this, her heart skipped a beat and her guard level instantly reached its maximum.

"I...I don't understand what your majesty is talking about."

Damn it, could it be that the imperial concubine already knows about my change of identity?

When she thought of this, Liu Qingqing's unstoppable momentum from the previous second suddenly died down, and she became a little uneasy.

She twisted the handkerchief tightly in her hand, and then heard Wan Rongyue say:

"If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself. You're just a prostitute. Do you really think that by relying on the Guo family to enter the imperial palace, you can soar to the sky and be above everyone else?"

"Have you ever thought about whether you alone can bear the responsibility for the crime of deceiving the emperor if something happens?"

hum!

Liu Qingqing suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Wan Rongyue approaching her step by step with horror. Every step he took seemed like stepping on her heart, making it difficult for her to breathe.

At this moment, Liu Qingqing’s mind was full of thoughts: The imperial concubine knows!

She knows!

How to do?

How to do?

Finally, Wan Rongyue stood before her, dressed in dazzling attire, looking like a goddess high above, and said condescendingly:

"Our emperor has always been a germaphobe. Previously, there was a concubine in the palace. He accidentally touched her when a guard rescued her from drowning. Since then, His Majesty has never set foot in that concubine's palace again.

Tell me, if our emperor knew your past identity, how many heads would you have to chop off?"

As Wan Rongyue spoke, he scanned Liu Qingqing's neck with a cold gaze, as if he was really studying how many heads she had.

Liu Qingqing's face, which was dressed as beautiful as a peach, was turning whiter inch by inch at a speed visible to the naked eye, until even her lips lost their color.

This feeling is like suddenly falling from heaven to hell.

She thought her wonderful life had just begun, and that from now on she would be blessed with wealth and glory, and a life where she could call the wind and rain.

But alas, reality is so broken.

It took less than a day, and the enemy had already exposed his deepest secret in such a bloody way!
