Queen's favorite

No one knew how Wang Shi and Qi Si were feeling before they passed out, nor did they know whether they were mostly regretful or hated towards Qi Changle.

However, Qi Changle didn't care.

She is no longer the ignorant young girl who still missed her father's love.

After punishing Qi Si and Wang's a little bit, the palace banquet finally came to a successful conclusion as the queen's anger was vented.

When the female monarch slightly raised her head and signaled that they could leave, the ministers almost couldn't wait to walk towards the door. No one dared to stay, and no one even dared to turn around.

The concubine also slowly dispersed, and soon, only the two fainted people remained in the hall, as well as Zhong Liyu and Qi Changle.

Qi Changle did not leave with the flow of people, but stopped and looked up at the female monarch sitting on top.

Zhong Liyu closed his eyes and leaned on the seat.She stretched out her fingers to support her forehead, even though she closed her eyes and meditated, she still frowned, as if she was enduring something.

Then, a scent of fragrance approached, followed by slender fingers that gently held her forehead.

Zhong Liyu paused for a moment, but did not stop her, but said in a low voice: "Put your hand on my head without my permission, do you know what kind of crime it is?"

Qi Changle lowered his eyes quietly, rubbing his fingers lightly.

She knew that Zhong Liyu was not really angry, otherwise it would not have been such a sentence, but directly turned into action.

But even so, she still had to explain what should be explained.

Qi Changle said: "The concubine knows that this is a serious crime, but...seeing His Majesty seems uncomfortable, so the concubine can't care so much." She paused, and then said: "If Your Majesty wants to punish the concubine, please also Wait until the concubine finishes serving."

Zhong Liyu laughed lightly, "Forget it."

Then she added: "You're kidding, can you believe this?"

After all, according to Zhong Liyu's skill, if she doesn't want to, no one can get close to her unknowingly.This is still the case in sleep, let alone awake at this moment.

She just had a severe headache, and when she smelled the familiar fragrance at the tip of her nose, she didn't want to open her eyes.

The reason why Qi Changle can approach smoothly is only her acquiescence.

Qi Changle smiled softly: "Whether His Majesty is teasing my concubine or not, as long as it is what His Majesty says, my concubine will listen attentively; as long as His Majesty asks a question, my concubine will respond."

Zhong Liyu opened his eyes, the emotions in his eyes were hazy for a moment.

"That's it."

After that, the two of them didn't speak, and there was silence between each other.

Qi Changle doesn't dislike the quiet atmosphere, probably because...she is confident at the moment.

Others not only hate but also fear. After all, when you are in the same room with the queen, the excessive quietness may be just the calm before the storm, and no one will like it.

But Qi Changle is safe here, so she can like this kind of quietness.

Qi Changle's subordinates moved softly and dexterously, although his heart was distracted, his movements did not make mistakes.

Because she was standing, she could easily put Zhong Liyu's face in front of her eyes.

Zhong Liyu's appearance is sharp and glamorous, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes are full of amorous feelings, but this kind of amorous feelings is concealed by her usual moodiness and strong hostility, reconciling a different kind of "thick and colorful", which makes people Don't dare to look directly.

However, such a face is undoubtedly beautiful.

She is so beautiful that even Qi Changle, who is also a woman, has no choice but to be attracted to her.

Then his eyes moved down slightly, and landed on the slightly pursed red lips.

Qi Changle was distracted for a moment, and in his mind he recalled that soft and fragrant kiss.

... Isn't this normal? She has become Zhongliyu's concubine, and getting close to her is inevitable, so what is she thinking.

And it's not just that, in the future, if you serve the bed, it will be a more intimate contact.

Sooner or later she has to accept it.

Zhong Liyu moved slightly: "Okay."

Qi Changle withdrew his hand accordingly.

Zhong Liyu stood up, glanced at the two people below, and sneered at the corner of his lips: "It's too useless to pass out. I thought they could last for a long time."

Qi Changle calmed down, stood behind Zhongli Yu, followed her to look down, and then said softly: "They are afraid in their hearts, so naturally they can't hold on."

Zhong Liyu couldn't help but sneered, "I haven't really done it yet." She twirled the wrench on her finger, thoughtfully.

Qi Changle's eyes moved from Qi Si to Zhong Liyu's side, and then, her brows moved slightly, and she asked softly: "Your Majesty... don't you think such a concubine is very annoying?"

Hearing her question, Zhong Liyu raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked back at her.

"Why?"

Qi Changle lowered his head, concealing his emotions, but said in a gentle tone: "Obviously they are the concubine's father and aunt, but the concubine is obsessed with the childhood hatred, and she does revenge. My concubine...wouldn't be ugly."

The face hidden below has a sad expression, slightly frowning.

She is playing hard to get.It is also retreating.

Zhong Liyu chuckled, she turned around and came to Qi Changle.

"Changle." Zhong Liyu shouted, "Don't you think... I'm some kind of good person?"

Hearing her question like this, Qi Changle raised his eyes to look at her in a little puzzlement, and parted his lips, but he didn't know what to say.

Zhong Liyu moved closer to Qi Changle, with a smile on his lips, and joy in his eyes.Then she put her hand on Qi Changle's cheek, feeling the tenderness of her palm, and squinted her eyes in a good mood.

"I have a lot of blood on my hands. It's just a trivial matter like revenge. Why should I hate you?"

The tone of her question seemed to be very puzzled.

In fact, Zhong Liyu naturally wouldn't care.Anyway, she knew that Qi Changle's tenderness and heart were directed towards her, and she wished that the other party would not show any tenderness to outsiders, even if it was her family members.

Therefore, Qi Changle's behavior like Zhong Liyu would not be disgusted by it, nor would he harbor a grudge, rather, it was exactly what she wanted.

Besides, Qi Changle is her own, isn't it normal for her to take revenge after being bullied.

"You have the power, Changle." Zhong Liyu's voice was low, bewitching. "I give you such power."

"Whoever bullies you in the future, you can take revenge back. This is the unique power I bestow on you."

Qi Changle slightly opened his eyes wide, and Zhongliyu's face was reflected in his eyes.

She took a deep breath, tried her best to restrain the trembling of her heart and the trembling of her fingers, and then nodded slightly.

"Thank you Your Majesty..."

"As for those two people." Zhong Liyu glanced at His Highness's people and thought for a while, "How do you want to get revenge?"

Qi Changle was startled: "Isn't it already, revenge?"

Zhong Liyu looked up at her, and found that Qi Changle was serious, so she couldn't help laughing.

Zhong Liyu held his forehead with one hand, feeling helpless.

"What should I say about you..."

"Chang Le, you are really—" Zhong Liyu raised the corners of his lips playfully, picked Qi Chang Le's chin with his fingertips, and said with a provocative smile, "You are so kind."

Qi Changle didn't answer these words, her gaze shifted slightly, looking to one side.

Kind?

If she hadn't clearly known that the words of the female gentleman were really complimenting her, she would have almost thought that the other party was ironic.

How could she be kind.If she was kind, she wouldn't have tried every means to seduce the innocent Zhong Liyu and make him dote on her.

Qi Changle doesn't think she is kind, at least she never repays evil with kindness.

"In this case, let's send them back first, it's also an eyesore here."

Zhong Liyu clapped his hands lightly, and soon someone pulled the fainted two back.

Looking at them, Qi Changle thought of Qi Tianxiang who was somewhere at this time, she opened her lips slightly, but she didn't ask after all.

Why ask?

The light in Qi Changle's eyes dimmed.

She didn't really care about Qi Tianxiang's life or death.

Thinking of this, the strength in Qi Changle's hand loosened, and he didn't ask after all.

After returning to the Youxiang Pavilion, Suxi rushed to greet her, but she didn't ask Qi Changle why he stayed in the Hall of Preserving Harmony just now. After all, as a servant, she should care less about the affairs of the other party and the queen.

While helping Qi Changle change clothes, Suxi saw Qi Changle's fingertips trembling slightly, she was a little surprised: "Young master?"

Qi Changle retracted his thoughts with lowered eyes, and then saw the condition of his fingertips.She took a deep breath and said, "It's okay."

Naturally, it's okay, and it's not because she was frightened that her hands were shaking.

On the contrary, she was excited.

Because it was the first time she actually touched power, because she felt the excitement that power was at her fingertips for the first time.

Qi Changle closed his eyes, only feeling ambition and desire fermenting in his heart.

She wants to go further down this road.

Thinking of today's Highness, Qi Si's fate seemed to be determined by a single word of her own, which made her feel illusory and unreal.

But Qi Changle is not completely lost yet, she knows that all of this stems from the favor of the female monarch.

She is nothing without pampering her.

and so--

Qi Changle opened his eyes, with a burning light in his eyes.

In the dark room, Qi Tianxiang woke up faintly.

At first she didn't understand what was going on, and after she regained consciousness for a while, she stood up abruptly.

——Qi Changle!

And Her Majesty the Queen.

Later, Qi Tianxiang realized that something was wrong here, she seemed to be arrested by someone?

Where is this place?

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Qi Tianxiang always feels that there is a bloody smell in the air, which makes people tremble.

And it's too dark here, what's going on?

Just as Qi Tianxiang was trembling, the door opened.

A figure walked in.

Then someone lit a lamp for that person, Qi Tianxiang narrowed her eyes, and finally saw clearly the situation in front of her and her surroundings.

But it is better not to see clearly than to see clearly.

She gasped in horror, looked at the various instruments of torture in front of her with horror, her hands and feet felt cold.

Then she raised her head and looked at the person in front of her.

——The smiling female monarch in black clothes.

Qi Tianxiang quickly knelt down, thinking about what was going on in her mind, while saluting to the female monarch.

At this time, a guess that frightened her appeared in her mind.

In fact, the reason why these people are afraid of the female monarch is not based on imagination, let alone fabricating rumors to rest on the female monarch.But the queen has indeed done similar things.

Therefore, when Qi Tianxiang was locked here and saw clearly what was placed in front of her, she had already started to tremble, or regret it.

Because she seemed to see her end.

Zhong Liyu sat down in front, squinted at Qi Tianxiang, and then sneered, "It seems that you are well aware of your situation."

Beads of sweat rolled down Qi Tianxiang's forehead.She frantically said words of pleading guilty and begging for forgiveness, but her mind was already so confused that she couldn't even remember what she said clearly, as if another person was strongly pleading for her.

Zhong Liyu is not interested in listening to Qi Tianxiang's nonsense, after all, since she has decided what to do, she will not change her mind easily.

What's more... She never planned to let Qi Tianxiang go.

Zhong Liyu got off his seat, then squatted down, looking at Qi Tianxiang.

"Shh." She smiled and raised her index finger, "Don't be too loud."

"I won't do anything to you, at most—just finish what I didn't finish today."

The black eyes were filled with malice that flowed slowly like honey, and also carried childlike cruelty, making one's spine chill.The smile on Zhongli Yu's lips deepened, as if he could not wait to look forward to it.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?" Qi Tianxiang's voice trembled because she remembered what the "unfinished event" Zhong Liyu was referring to.

She subconsciously took a step back, but before she could move, she was held down by two palace servants.

"No, no—! Please let me go, Your Majesty. I can go to my sister to plead guilty. No matter how much she beats and scolds me, I beg you, don't, don't ruin my face!"

"Ah." Zhong Liyu said with a little dissatisfaction: "It's too noisy, and the struggle is too great. With you like this, it's hard for me to continue tattooing."

Although he was so emotional, Zhong Liyu didn't show any pity or distress on his face.

Then, she stretched out her hand with a smile and squeezed Qi Tianxiang's chin.

"Crack."

She dislocated Qi Tianxiang's jaw.

Qi Tianxiang froze on the spot in fear, tears streaming down her face, frantically trying to struggle, but she couldn't move.

Zhong Liyu maintained a half-squatting position, then stretched out his hand to the side, and someone handed her a hairpin.

Even in such a situation, Qi Tianxiang can still recognize at a glance that it is her own hairpin.

The golden tail reflects a cold light, and the cold hairpin sticks to the skin.

"Help, help..."

Zhong Liyu ignored her, but looked at this face seriously.

"So, where should I start writing?" She bent her eyes.

……

After it was over, Zhong Liyu threw away the hairpin casually, and then she lowered her eyes and frowned in disgust, some blood stains had just flowed down the hairpin to her hands, and now it looked a little dirty.

Qi Tianxiang yelled so loudly that she had a headache again, so in the end Zhong Liyu hit harder, and ended up getting it in her own hands.

Although she really likes to appreciate the pain and despair of others, but when it comes to Qi Tianxiang, she doesn't have the mentality of having fun at all.

Zhong Liyu's pupils were cold.

If she had to say... Looking at Qi Tianxiang, she thought of Changle instead.

Zhong Liyu's eyes moved slightly, inexplicably thinking that her hands were also stained with dirt that day, and then Qi Changle gently cupped her hands, and then helped her wipe them clean.

There was a trace of warmth and joy in Zhongliyu's smile.

Changle is different.

Zhong Liyu stood up, and immediately someone brought a basin of clear water.She turned around and put her hands in it, washed it carefully, and at the same time casually ordered: "Throw her at the door of Qi Si's house. By the way, remember to do what you ordered. No food will be left at the household servant's house. Just feed them one meal."

"Yes." The person standing next to him paused, and then asked, "What about Mrs. Xu?"

Zhong Liyu paused as he wiped his hands.

Xu, she remembers being Qi Changle's biological mother.

"Xu's words, as usual." Zhong Liyu wiped his hands with his eyes hanging down, "By the way, let someone go over and watch them, and don't allow them to cause chaos, or take Xu's share."

"Yes."

"By the way, bring a message to the servant of the household department." Zhong Liyu raised the corners of his lips, "If their family is really hungry, you can come and beg me. There is a lot of pig and dog food left in the House of Internal Affairs every year. They If you want, just go directly to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get it."

"Yes."

Zhong Liyu said to himself: "Let's go hungry for a year or so, after all, you won't die of starvation, right?"

Before she left, Zhong Liyu turned to look at Qi Tianxiang who was unconscious on the ground as if he had thought of something.

"Find an imperial doctor to show her, make sure to save her life, and remember to keep the scars on her face well. And—"

Zhong Liyu's eyes were gloomy, but with an unconcealable joy.

"Remember to let the son of the Minister of Rites and her get married as soon as possible."

How could she break up a marriage that was created in heaven.

Qi Changle is in the deep palace, and she has no connections or channels, and there is no power left for her in the family, so she is always slow to get information.

The family of the Minister of the Household Department has been turned upside down outside, but she is still staying in the palace, living her life peacefully.

However, Qi Changle was not idle either. Since she delivered the lotus seed soup last time, she began to plan what to do next.

The scorching summer is coming to an end. The weather has not been particularly hot in the past few days. Of course, it will be different at noon.So Qi Changle thought, what should I do for the lady this time?How to compete for favor?

At the same time, she has gotten closer to Wang Changzai and Wang Xiyi in the past few days, and the other party often comes to Youxiang Pavilion to talk to her.

At first Qi Changle thought that the other party was going to seek refuge with her, with a scrutinizing and probing gaze, but later she discovered... Wang Xiyi seemed to be just talking to her.

I don't know if it gave her some illusions last time in Yikun Palace, Wang Xiyi seems to have become a little dependent on her.

But it's not without its benefits.

First of all... Wang Xiyi has no bad intentions, it's good to talk to her occasionally to pass the time, after all, she is a cute and straightforward little girl.

Secondly, although the elders in Wang Xiyi's family are not of high rank, they seem to have their own manpower in the palace. Although they can't help with big things, it's okay to just inquire about things. Therefore, Qi Changle has heard a lot of news from her.

For example, the matter of the concubine.

The imperial concubine Su Muhe is said to be the son of the former General Su.It is rumored that General Su was brave and good at fighting, guarding the frontier, and made many military exploits for the country and the people.

However, when the first emperor was in his later years, General Su was found to have a rebellious heart. The first emperor wanted to punish his nine clans in a rage, but later, because most of the courtiers opposed him, he changed from punishing the nine clans to demoting them to common people and sending them to the frontier. , will never be allowed to enter Beijing.

Originally, Su Muhe should have followed his father, but Zhong Liyu, who had won the emperor's heart at that time, came forward to ask for peace, which saved Su Muhe.

Later, when Zhong Liyu ascended the throne, he made Su Muhe the imperial concubine.

Every time he thinks of this, the emotions in Qi Changle's heart become a little astringent.

So... the lady really likes Su Muhe?I like it so much that I don't care about the happy and angry face of the first emperor, so I have to protect him.

Qi Changle couldn't tell what she was feeling at the moment, but the only thing she could say was... her heart was a little heavy.

"Sister Changle?" Wang Xiyi, who was sitting opposite, held a dried persimmon in one hand, then tilted her head in doubt.

Qi Changle withdrew his thoughts and smiled at her: "It's nothing."

Wang Xiyi glanced at her, then bit the persimmon cake, and said inarticulately: "If elder sister Changle doesn't want to laugh, you don't need to laugh."

"..."

Qi Changle pinched her fingertips, "How could that be?"

"Look, that's how it is now." Wang Xiyi interrupted her, puffing her cheeks. "Sister, do you know that your expression looks very insincere now?"

Qi Changle opened his eyes wide in surprise, and subconsciously wanted to touch the corner of his lips.

She laughed... Was it easy to be seen through?

Wang Xiyi said: "My sister's smile is as beautiful as ever! But - because I observe very carefully, so I can't be fooled." She swallowed the dried persimmons in two mouthfuls, and drank a sip of tea.

"It's not that I want to do things for Sister Changle, but I think that if I don't smile sincerely, I should laugh a little uncomfortable. So I don't want Sister Changle to feel uncomfortable."

Are you uncomfortable?

It's actually not uncomfortable.Qi Changle has long been used to smiling at any time.

She was not used to being directly exposed by others, and even less used to being seen through her disguise, so Qi Changle just paused and did not continue this topic.

"What's the matter with you this time?"

Wang Xiyi let her change the topic, and then raised two fingers. "Two things."

"One thing is that Ren Che woke up and recovered well, and his life is not in danger."

When she heard Ren Qiao's name, Qi Changle was slightly taken aback, and then she realized that this was the person who wanted to imitate herself but was backlashed.

Hearing that he woke up, Qi Changle didn't change his mood too much, and he didn't even care much about it.

After all, it was just an inferior product, not worthy of her attention.

Wang Xiyi looked at her expression, "Sister, aren't you angry?"

Qi Changle raised his eyebrows slightly, then smiled and said, "Of course not."

Because such a person doesn't need her attention at all.If you give it, you will give him face.

Just let him fend for himself in the harem.

Wang Xiyi nodded, "Okay, the second thing—"

"It is said that after the palace banquet that day, Qi Tianxiang was slapped in the face and thrown at the door of the Minister's Mansion."

"Mrs. Wang passed out after hearing the news, crying out in grief, and the Minister's lord was so frightened that his face turned pale. Qi Tianxiang made a big fuss after waking up, and finally calmed down."

"Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites said that he wanted to withdraw from the marriage, but he didn't do so for some reason. If there is no accident, the marriage ceremony should be held in three days."

Qi Changle raised his eyes slightly surprised.

The author has something to say: Female gentleman: Anyway, Changle likes me the most~

Conscience, I feel a little bit of pain...

Once again, it is not love, the female monarch and the imperial concubine are other relationships

I will be confused when I wait for the high trial (want to curse)

Has the blind monk debuted?Totally thought I'd be driving unconscious

Is the comment in the previous chapter the most fanzui scene, dude, I often feel out of place with you because I am not perverted enough
