It took Xiao Ou a long time to come back to her senses after hearing the name "Noble Concubine Ou".
From the moment Xia Qi canonized him yesterday, he had already become Consort Ou.
Xiao Ou turned his head and glanced at Xia Qi, and found that Xia Qi had a calm face and no emotions.
Isn't Xia Qi too patient
After separating from Xia Qi and his sister, Xiao Ou walked slowly into Shouju Palace. As soon as he entered, he caught everyone's attention.
At this time, Concubine Lin was sitting in the main seat, looking at him with a gloomy face.
After a whole night of the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons, even though Concubine Lin was already a super player, he did not look very good today. There was a layer of dark blue under his eyes, and his whole body was filled with a gloomy aura.
Compared to the respectable Concubine Lin, the other concubines looked more miserable. Their clothes were all torn or tattered, or covered in blood. It was obvious that they had been chased by ghosts all night.
Of course, these were still the players who survived. Xiao Ou glanced at the number of people present and found that half of them were gone.
Just as Xiao Ou was about to sit in her original seat, Concubine Sun laughed in a sarcastic tone, "Concubine Ou, you are sitting in the wrong seat."
After Concubine Sun finished speaking, another concubine said sourly: "Noble Concubine Ou, you are now a noble concubine, and today you have to sit on an equal footing with Noble Concubine Lin."
Xiao Ou's whole body stiffened, and he turned to look at Concubine Lin sitting in the main seat. Coincidentally, Concubine Lin also raised her head, and their eyes met in mid-air. Xiao Ou felt a chill on his back for no reason.
Even though he has become a concubine now, Concubine Lin is still powerful and still has a lasting influence on others. Xiao Ou couldn't help but secretly glance at Xia Qi, but found that Xia Qi was looking down and thinking about something, as if he didn't take Concubine Lin seriously at all. He stood in front of the pillar with his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart, like an elegant mural.
Xiao Ou couldn't help but feel a deep admiration for Xia Qi.
Just by looking at Concubine Lin, Xiao Ou felt that he was about to collapse. He didn't know how strong Xia Qi's psychological quality was that he dared to go against Concubine Lin.
"Empress Ou, please come and sit next to me." Concubine Lin gently raised her hand towards Xiao Ou, her tone calm, but Xiao Ou could hear a hint of gritted teeth in her voice.
Since coming to this copy, Xiao Ou has been accustomed to being ordered around by Concubine Lin, so he gritted his teeth and walked over to Concubine Lin.
Concubine Lin's maid brought a chair and placed it next to Concubine Lin.
When Xiao Ou was hesitating whether to really sit down, Concubine Lin glanced at him lightly and said, "Sister, sit down."
“…Yes, yes.” Xiao Ou pursed her lips and felt like she was about to cry.
He took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, then walked slowly to the chair, bent down carefully, but dared only sit halfway.
The long-term oppression of palace rules made him feel that his spine seemed unable to straighten up.
"Noble Concubine Ou, how did you become a noble concubine?" Without waiting for Noble Concubine Lin to speak, Concubine Sun turned into Noble Concubine Lin's vanguard and began to inquire about the reason for Xiao Ou's promotion.
Hearing this, Xiao Ou was stunned for a moment.
Xia Qi didn't give him any response just now, which means that Xia Qi didn't want others to know his identity.
He clenched his fists nervously, smiled awkwardly, and said something that made everyone angry: "This... it's all just fate."
fate
Upon hearing this, Concubine Sun's expression twisted, and the jealousy on her face almost overflowed. If everything was fate, then why wasn't he promoted to a noble concubine
Princess Sun could hardly control her emotions and uttered a loud snort to express her contempt for Xiao Ou's nonsense.
Hearing Xiao Ou's shameless answer, the others looked constipated.
Although Concubine Lin's expression did not change, judging from her increasingly red eyes, she was very dissatisfied with Xiao Ou's sudden promotion.
Just as Concubine Sun was covering her chest in anger, Concubine Lin gave her a look.
After receiving Concubine Lin's gaze, Concubine Sun calmed herself down and regained her sanity.
Concubine Sun turned her head to look at Xia Qi and said loudly, "Xiao Nu Xia Qi, where did you go yesterday? You are from Concubine Lin's Shouju Palace, but you have been missing for a long time. Do you take the Concubine's palace seriously?"
Xiao Ou was stunned for a moment. Weren't they targeting him just now? Why were they suddenly picking on Xia Qi
"Yesterday I saw Lady Xia Qi and Concubine Ou taking a walk near the Imperial Garden. They looked very leisurely." The white-collar woman suddenly echoed Concubine Sun.
Because of her recent good scheming, she was specially promoted by Concubine Lin to be named Li Pin yesterday. Today, she couldn't help it and planned to perform well in front of Concubine Lin with Concubine Sun and try again to become a concubine.
Listening to Concubine Sun and the white-collar woman singing the same tune, Concubine Ou finally realized that it was him they wanted to deal with.
However, they planned to start with his "little brother" Xia Qi.
As for why they knew that Xia Qi was related to him, it was because they were seen by the white-collar woman yesterday, and the white-collar woman reported them to Concubine Lin.
However, Xia Qi is not his little brother, but his big boss behind the scenes...
Xiao Ou showed an embarrassed expression, hoping that they would stop causing trouble for Xia Qi, and said, "It was such a mess yesterday, so it's not the fault of the showgirl Xia Qi."
Xiao Ou: Please be a decent person and don’t offend my boss!
"Why can't we blame him? He is wrong for not taking the queen seriously." Concubine Sun sneered and continued.
Concubine Lin took a sip of the wine and said nothing.
His silence meant that he let them continue talking.
The white-collar woman rolled her eyes, then looked at Xiao Ou, and said in a sarcastic tone: "Empress Ou, although you don't have anyone to serve you, you can't snatch the people from Empress Lin's palace."
Xiao Ou couldn't help but roll his eyes. After going around in circles, they came back to him.
They really had a good plan. Once Xia Qi was found guilty, he would be held jointly liable. This group of people wanted to kill two birds with one stone. I don't know if they can swallow it.
Concubine Sun and the white-collar woman spoke to each other and finally determined that Xia Qi and Xiao Ou were at fault. The other concubines looked at them in shock, and no one dared to say anything.
Suddenly, Concubine Lin stood up and said to the two of them, "Enough, you two are talking too much."
Having said that, Concubine Lin's expression did not show any unhappiness.
"Your Highness, I am doing this for your reputation." The white-collar woman picked up a handkerchief and wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes, saying with false grievance.
"Yes." Concubine Lin nodded her chin modestly, then turned her head to look at Xia Qi, "Xiao Nu Xia Qi, you left your post without permission yesterday, do you admit your crime?"
Hearing that Concubine Lin finally couldn't help but attack him, Xia Qi slowly raised his head and looked at Concubine Lin with a cold face.
Seeing that the copy was about to collapse, Concubine Lin finally couldn't hold back anymore and was unwilling to let go of even such a small mistake.
"Not guilty." Xia Qi said word by word.
Full-channel broadcast: It was found that Xia Qi had not left his post without permission, and the charges were not effective.
When Concubine Lin heard the system broadcast, she was shocked and looked at Xia Qi as if she was looking at a monster.
Impossible, how could he miss
"How is it possible? Xia Qi was not in Shouju Palace the whole day yesterday!" Concubine Sun almost lost her balance and screamed, "Is there really a bug in the dungeon?"
Unexpectedly, Concubine Lin would also encounter Waterloo. It turned out that she was not an absolute authority. The concubines who were watching the fun had different expressions, and some bold ones even whispered to each other and chattered.
"Why can't the Imperial Concubine convict him?"
"Is it possible that being convicted by force is not allowed by the copy?"
Listening to everyone's wild guesses, Xiao Ou, who knew the truth, was extremely anxious.
Xia Qi certainly did not make any mistakes, nor did he leave his post without permission, because his post was in Wuai Palace... Xia Qi did not convict Concubine Lin of disrespect, and Concubine Lin should really be grateful to him.
Listening to the people discussing in low voices, Concubine Lin's face became increasingly gloomy.
Concubine Sun wanted to say more: "My Lady, there must be something wrong with the system. You can't just forgive him so easily..."
Concubine Lin suddenly flicked her sleeves heavily and interrupted in a cold voice: "Let's stop here today."
If he continues to embarrass himself, will he still have any dignity left
Because he entered the copy too hastily this time and failed to contact Cha Gong, he made an inadequate judgment of Xia Qi.
Moreover, he guessed that Cha Gong had concealed some key clue from him. This key clue made him unable to figure out what Xia Qi had done.
"Your Highness, let's start discussing the evening banquet." Upon hearing that Noble Concubine Lin was planning to back off, Concubine Sun quickly changed the subject and handed Noble Concubine Lin a ladder.
After she finished speaking, Concubine Sun still couldn't help but glance at Xiao Ou, her heart full of jealousy. If they couldn't convict Xia Qi today, then they wouldn't be able to deal with Xiao Ou, who was now the imperial concubine.
Concubine Lin sat down again and resumed her status as the mistress of the palace.
"There are only three days left until the Ghost Festival. The program for the night banquet is very important, so everyone must work hard." After explaining the matters for the night banquet, Concubine Lin looked a little tired.
Now the number of new players on the field has been reduced from 20 to 10. I wonder how many will be left after a few days.
After finishing the morning meeting, Xia Qi did not stay in Shouju Palace, and once again left his post without permission with his men.
When Concubine Lin saw that Xia Qi was too lazy to even pretend, she got so angry that her eyes twitched and she broke another teacup on the spot.
After calling Concubine Sun and the white-collar woman over, Concubine Lin called her most capable thugs and said to them, "Send someone to follow them immediately."
When Xia Qigang led the two of them out of Shouju Palace, he felt someone was following them.
"Brother Xia, where are we going?" My sister paused and looked back anxiously.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Xia Qi did not even turn his head, but continued walking forward and said, "Let's go back to Wuai Palace."
"Going back now?" Xiao Ou was reluctant to leave the environment of Wuai Palace. If Concubine Qilin and others broke in, he would feel really bad.
"Yes." Xia Qi nodded, curled his lips, and said lightly, "It's time for them to pay back their debts."
Xiao Ou still didn't quite understand what Xia Qi meant, but he planned to continue following him to see what he was going to do next.
Since there was someone following the three of them, Concubine Qian was very smart and did not come out. Instead, she followed Concubine Lin and the others, carefully observing Concubine Lin.
Xia Qi walked in front, and when he arrived at Wuai Palace, he pushed Xiao Ou and said, "You go in."
"Ah? I go in? Why?" Xiao Ou almost twisted his eyebrows into a ball.
Xia Qi suppressed the smile on his face and said, "After all, it is your 'fate' that you have obtained, so of course you have to go in."
Xiao Ou: “…”
Xiao Ou was speechless for a while, then she lifted her skirt and walked forward: "Okay, let's go in." It's not like she's been there before.
After Xia Qi and his sister sent Xiao Ou to Wuai Palace, they left in another direction.
The two of them walked around the area and returned to the vicinity of Wuai Palace, where they met Concubine Qian who was peeking.
Sure enough, after seeing Xiao Ou enter Wuai Palace, Concubine Lin and others moved closer to Wuai Palace.
Xia Qi patted Concubine Qian's shoulder and said, "You can go in too."
"I'm going too?" Concubine Qian frowned, but after thinking about it, she guessed Xia Qi's intention.
Concubine Qian laughed and agreed decisively.
After whispering a few words with Xia Qi, Concubine Qian appeared on the palace road and walked into Wuai Palace.
At this time, Concubine Lin, Concubine Sun and the white-collar woman were squatting in the grass near Wuai Palace.
They first saw Xiao Ou enter the Wuai Palace, and then they saw Concubine Qian enter the Wuai Palace.
The three of them were immediately confused. When did this Wuai Palace become a place that anyone could enter
Why were Concubine Ou and Concubine Qian both allowed in
Could it be that the rumor that Wuai Palace is the Queen’s palace is wrong
"Your Highness, the opportunity that Noble Concubine Ou mentioned was probably snatched from Wuai Palace?" Seeing that Concubine Qian had already closed the door, Concubine Sun became so jealous that her eyes turned red.
Concubine Lin looked very serious: "I'm afraid it has something to do with Wu Ai Gong."
"Then what are we waiting for?" the white-collar woman said anxiously. Ever since the moment she entered the Fengdu copy, she has been looking forward to living in Woai Palace. Seeing that others have already taken the lead, she can't bear it anymore.
"Don't worry. It's still unclear whether Concubine Ou's promotion is related to Wuai Palace." Concubine Lin has always been cautious and still refused to send anyone into Wuai Palace.
At this moment, a quarrel broke out in Wuai Palace, followed by the sound of countless porcelain pieces breaking. Xiao Ou's loud voice came from inside: "Empress Qian, get out now!"
"Hmph, Woai Palace isn't just your territory. There are so many experience points here. Aren't you afraid of eating to death by eating all by yourself?" Concubine Qian said sarcastically.
"Get out! If it weren't for you, I would have been a first-class imperial concubine last night!" Xiao Ou seemed to have broken something again.
There was a loud "bang!" and the two of them seemed to be fighting over something in Wuai Palace.
Concubine Sun could no longer hold back, and without waiting for Concubine Lin to stop her, she stood up and rushed towards Wuai Palace like a whirlwind.
"Your Highness, I'm going to help Your Highness Sun." Seeing that Your Highness Sun had already run away, the white-collar woman stood up, excitedly followed in the footsteps of Your Highness, and rushed towards Wuai Palace.
"Your Highness!" The other three palace maids' eyes turned red, and they urged Royal Concubine Lin to go in.
Wuai Palace looked like a big piece of fat meat. The later they went, the less they would get. They couldn't help but want to go in and grab the experience points.
Seeing that Concubine Sun had already opened the door, Concubine Lin sighed and said, "Let's go."
