At night, the palace was cool and cool. It had just snowed heavily and the road was still very slippery. A maid was carrying a food box from the imperial dining room and walked carefully along the Qingshi Road back to Qinliang Palace.
When they arrived at Qinliang Palace, the servant girl pushed open the door of the bedroom, and saw a pale woman sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze.
Bending down and saluting: "Ms. Liang Concubine."
Hearing her voice, the woman suddenly raised her head, her eyes were full of hatred: "Xia Qing, why did you do this?!" Did she know that she would kill her like this!
The palace maid who was called Xia Qing had a smile on her lips, she was still respectful: "Your Majesty, let's eat first."
"Get out! I don't need you to pretend to be kind!" After finishing speaking, he waved his hand violently, throwing the lunch box to the ground, throwing out the exquisite pastries, and breaking the plate into several pieces.
"Since the concubine Liang is not hungry, then this servant will give these to that person to eat." After Xia Qing finished speaking expressionlessly, the concubine Liang rushed towards her as if she was crazy, but since being captured by the emperor Caught in bed with the Seventh Prince, she was imprisoned here, except for facing this wolf-hearted palace maid every day, no one could see her. But looking at her, where can she eat? Therefore, Xia Qing easily grabbed Concubine Liang's wrist. With a light push, Concubine Liang was thrown onto the bed.
"Tell me, where did you lock him up?"
"I want to know? It depends on whether you are worthy or not, Concubine Liang. It doesn't matter if Concubine Liang doesn't want to eat, but if that person keeps running out of water and food these days, it will be really miserable."
"you!"
"Concubine Liang had better keep her voice down. Now there are imperial guards outside, let the emperor hear it, what do you say... what will happen?" Leaning down, Xia Qing pinched Concubine Liang's chin. Docile and respectful.
"What... do you want to do?"
"I don't do anything, just to see if Concubine Liang is willing to sacrifice herself."
"..." Concubine Liang trembled all over.
"Do you want to die by yourself, or that person?" Although the two were caught and raped in bed, he didn't know what the emperor was thinking. He didn't take the blame for the two, and even blocked the news. The third prince couldn't wait any longer. And the third prince also agreed to her, as long as she helped him complete the task, he would find a way to get her out of the palace, and then accept her as concubine Ji. Thinking of the handsome face of the third prince Xia Houqing, Xia Qing was taken aback.
"You, what do you guys want?"
"The person who admitted to having an affair with you is the Seventh Prince."
"No!" Concubine Liang turned pale, "This will kill the Seventh Prince!"
Although she is in the harem, she often sees the Seventh Prince in the Queen's Kunning Palace. He is very respectful to her, unlike other unfavored concubines. He seems to be the same to everyone. What's more, the Seventh Prince is only in his teens, and his life has not yet begun. How could she have the heart to make him bear such embarrassing shackles all his life
"Tch." Xia Qing sneered: "I don't want to? Then you should confess that adulterer and see if the emperor will try his best to torture him in his anger? Or, doesn't he like to pretend to be a eunuch? How about he become a real eunuch?" Xia Qing smiled strangely, Liang Concubine's face was completely pale.
After a long time, she couldn't bear the condemnation of her conscience, and slowly bent down and lay on the bed crying.
"Actually, you don't have to be so entangled. After all, the seventh prince is the emperor's blood. He may be driven to any fiefdom by the emperor and he will not be passed on, nor will he die. But Concubine Liang's lover is different. He may die. Don't be too miserable." Xia Qing's words finally touched Concubine Liang's already shaken heart, she clenched her fists tightly, and slapped her face a few times before crying and nodding.
Xia Qing finally smiled.
Slowly picked up the lunch box on the ground, "Since Concubine Liang has figured it out, the servant will not bother you." After finishing speaking, without waiting for Concubine Liang to speak, she walked out of the bedroom slowly. In the huge Qinliang Palace, she was the only one. Concubine Liang and the other guards stayed outside the hall according to the rules.
Therefore, she easily went around to a remote place, looked back and saw that there was no one around.
She just entered the small kitchen of Qinliang Palace. The small kitchen where people used to come and go was very cold at the moment. She walked to the innermost firewood pile, then squatted down, and slowly cleared out the pile of firewood piled up like a mountain. An opening revealed the tightly bound man inside.
When the man saw her, his eyes widened in shock and anger. His blood-red eyes stared fiercely.
"So fierce? Do you want to know how Concubine Liang is doing now?"
"..." The man couldn't open his mouth, and wriggled desperately, but he was helplessly restrained by the stake nailed to the wall, unable to move at all.
"If you move around to attract the attention of the guards, do you want to kill Concubine Liang?" As soon as Xia Qing said this, the man stiffened immediately, but he didn't dare to move at all.
"Don't worry, as long as you are obedient, Concubine Liang will be fine. We just want to make a deal with Concubine Liang, but if you don't know the current affairs, then you have to let the emperor know about you and Concubine Liang. ..." She laughed lowly, but the threat in those words made the man's face turn pale.
After a long time, he nodded slightly.
Only then was Xia Qing satisfied, and took off the cloth that was covering his mouth.
As soon as he was able to speak, the man immediately became anxious: "H-how is she now?"
"Concubine Liang is fine."
"But why is it so deserted here?" He was with Concubine Liang that day... and was knocked unconscious by this man and took him away. He still doesn't understand what these people want to do.
"Liang Concubine has been promoted to Noble Concubine and moved into Jinghua Palace, so naturally there will be no people here."
"How can it be?"
"If you don't believe me, you also know that Concubine Liang and the Empress are on good terms. The Empress and the Emperor proposed it, and the Emperor naturally agreed. Just ask one more question, and you and Concubine Liang will die together!"
The man obediently shut his mouth.
Only then did Xia Qing take out the lunch box and feed the man to eat quickly. If she wasn't afraid that he would die, she would care about him.
I have to work hard to think of a reason, and I'm dying of hard work.
After the man finished eating and drinking, Xia Qing gagged his mouth again, and after tidying up, he quietly left the small kitchen and re-exited Qinliang Palace.
The guards guarding outside the hall saw the lunch box in her hand and asked in a calm voice, "Is Concubine Liang ready to eat?"
Xia Qing smiled: "Eat, eat."
"Then go!"
"Yes, yes!" Xia Qing smiled apologetically, took the lunch box and left, and came back to deliver the meal after the next meal. And after she left, a person quietly appeared in the small kitchen, his cold eyes fell on the woodpile, his charming eyebrows raised, his eyes were cold and cold.
Two days later, Concubine Liang was taken out of Qinliang Palace and put in the Imperial Study Room.
When Concubine Liang got there, she found that the Seventh Prince Xiahou Liuyun was kneeling there with a tired and dark face. She felt guilty, but thinking of that person, she suppressed it.
