Tang Wanzhuang, who had just criticized Zhao Changhe for his "act on the beam" and wanted to punish him, now climbed over the wall herself...
What was better than her previous performance was that she no longer had that kind of impatient and angry emotion, and her clothes fluttered in elegance. It was obvious that after the cooling-off period, she had indeed gotten out of the dizzy and passionate state of love in the past few days, and had regained her composure.
The reason he used was serious and legitimate: "As a royal concubine, how could you do such a shameless thing!"
"So what?" Huangfu Qing didn't come here because she was in love with him. She knew that if she came here for a tryst, she would be caught by Tang Wanzhuang, and it was impossible for her to be really intimate with a little man, but she still came here deliberately, just to see Tang Wanzhuang's angry expression, but she didn't see it. How did this guy calm down again? Seeing her like that made her angry...
Feeling a little regretful, he sneered, "When I entered the palace, which woman stopped me in private and asked me seriously what I wanted to do?"
Tang Wanzhuang said calmly, "It's me. You, Huangfu Qing, and I have known each other for more than ten years. I know better than anyone how proud and arrogant you are. It's impossible for you to be willing to enter the palace and become a concubine. You must have some ulterior motive."
"Thank you so much for your appreciation." Huangfu Qing crossed his arms and said leisurely, "You guessed that I might be a Four Symbols believer, didn't you? You also suspected that I was the Suzaku Reverend. Later, it was the Suzaku Reverend who killed the Fiery Demon Lord in Lingnan and ranked fourth on the Earth Ranking. Your Majesty personally testified for me that I was in the palace at the time, and you had to give up this suspicion."
She entered the palace with the agreement of the fake Xia Longyuan, so of course the fake would cover up for her. At that time, she was in a palace, so of course she killed people in Lingnan. That battle was thrilling... When the "emperor" personally gave false testimony, no matter how smart and wise the head of the Demon Suppression Division was, he had to give up his suspicion.
It is hard to say whether he has really given up this suspicion. After all, such a powerful Suzaku would not appear out of thin air. Most likely, he just kept it in his mind and would not mention it again until there is new evidence.
When Huangfu Qing entered the palace, the most troublesome thing was how to hide it from Tang Wanzhuang. This woman was very smart before, and she was not the same person as the fool she showed these days.
Tang Wanzhuang said calmly: "Even if you are not Suzaku, the fact that you are a member of the Four Symbols Cult is irrefutable."
"So, I am the Winged Fire Snake of the Four Elephants Sect. I entered the palace for a purpose. My Lord, you guessed it right." Huangfu Qing said with a smile: "Since you know that I entered the palace for a purpose, and I don't really want to be a concubine, then it's not surprising that I went out of the palace to have an affair with a man. You use this to restrict me? Ha..."
The Winged Fire Snake vest that I had thought of at the last minute was surprisingly useful. It should have been done earlier! Huangfu Qing was so happy. As for being bullied by Chi Chi, it didn't matter. There were plenty of ways to teach her a lesson.
Tang Wanzhuang asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will expose you to His Majesty?"
"No matter how trusted the Demon Suppression Division is, it is still an outsider. I suggest that you should not interfere in the affairs of the harem... Of course, if you must expose it, please do so. It depends on whether His Majesty will pay attention to you... Well, maybe he has a cuckold fetish and likes to watch the imperial concubine find a man? Do you have to ask?"
Tang Wanzhuang: “…”
Huangfu Qing still smiled: "By the way, I personally suggest that the Lord should not use ethics to block my man. First, my identity has other purposes and I am not a real concubine. Second, it is still unclear whether Changhe is a prince. Even if he is, he is still unwilling to admit it. Isn't it because he hates your majesty for abandoning him? Stealing a nominal concubine is a small revenge that does not hurt. What reason does the Lord have to stop it?"
Zhao Changhe: “…”
Tang Wanzhuang glanced at him and said nothing.
Zhao Changhe was most likely not a prince. She knew this better than anyone else. He created his own situation. Since he was not a prince, there was no ethical issue and he could not use this as an excuse. But she was very disappointed because it proved that Zhao Changhe really did not want to be a prince. Otherwise, he would have avoided such a thing.
She sighed and said, "This woman entered the palace for other purposes. Why can't she approach you for other purposes? Why are you so obsessed with beauty that you can't even figure this out?"
Zhao Changhe was about to speak, but Huangfu Qing interrupted him: "Why would I approach him for some other purpose?"
Tang Wanzhuang said calmly: "I still say that you are not someone who would throw yourself at a man... I know you too well."
"You are wrong, Tang Wanzhuang..." Huangfu Qing put away her smile and responded word by word: "I like him."
Tang Wanzhuang widened her eyes in shock.
Even Zhao Changhe was a little surprised. He didn't expect Huangfu Qing to say such a straightforward thing.
"Entering the palace is just a duty of the sect. As for personal feelings, I like him, why can't I face him, why can't I get close to him?" Huangfu Qing said calmly: "Huangfu Qing was born in a general family and studied in the Demon Sect. I dare to love and hate. How can I be bound by my status? Unlike some ladies from famous families, they are so shy and timid. They are obviously extremely jealous, but they still use the name of the court's official business. It's boring and hypocritical."
Tang Wanzhuang began to stutter again: "Who, who said I was jealous..."
"If you are clearly trying to compete with me for my affection, I would still respect you as my rival. Since you are not... What does it have to do with you, my Lord, when lovers meet again after a long separation? That wall is not high. Please go back to where you came from. Slowly climb up!"
Huangfu Qing was still bound by her identity. For example, she would never dare to reveal her identity as Suzaku. She was inevitably a little guilty when she said these words. But after she finished the whole sentence and even fooled herself, she felt very happy. Since she had been fighting with Tang Wanzhuang for more than ten years, she had never won so happily. It was as refreshing as drinking fine wine.
Tang Wanzhuang was really defeated at this time. In fact, she was not pretending to be timid. Zhao Changhe's previous analysis was correct. She had not sorted out her thoughts at all. How could she respond to such straightforward words
At this moment, a little head popped out from the opposite wall.
Choi Won-yang has been attending for a long time...
I couldn't help but secretly climb the wall to find Brother Zhao, but what did I see...
Your Majesty, you just pretended to give me a lot of instructions and even threatened me that His Majesty was watching. Did you do that to steal my man
How can this be? Are you bullying me because I’m young
Seeing that Tang Wanzhuang seemed to be unable to handle the attack, Cui Yuanyang, who had been treating Tang Wanzhuang as an enemy, was relieved at this moment. From this point of view, it seems that there is nothing wrong between Tang Shouzu and Brother Zhao. It seems that he had thought too much before... But this imperial concubine who appeared out of nowhere is the real goblin! Cui Yuanyang immediately regarded Tang Wanzhuang as a good friend and spoke to rescue her: "Hey, Madam, why are you here..."
Huangfu Qing’s expression froze.
It was so cool here that I forgot to notice that there were people climbing the wall over there...
Cui Yuanyang put his elbows on the wall and held his chin up: "Someone just taught me that I can't just hang out with men casually, and I have to consider the Cui family's family tradition... It seems that the Huangfu family's family tradition is not very good. She married and still cheated on her husband."
Huangfu Qing: “…”
I was careless. The more fun I had fooling people just now, the more socially frustrated I am now.
"Everyone's family tradition is not good, but I am better than some people. At least I don't mind Brother Zhao finding a few concubines or mistresses." Cui Yuanyang continued to hold his chin up: "Some marriages are not arranged by parents or matchmakers at all, and it's useless to deceive people for a while..."
Huangfu Qing gritted his teeth: "You have another ghost matchmaker?"
Tang Wanzhuang slowly spoke: "Yes, it's me."
Huangfu Qing then remembered that his previous metaphor for Cao Wei was extremely ominous.
Because when they were at their most high-spirited, they encountered Chibi... You two really joined forces
In fact, she had something to say in response... For example, "If we want to be the first wife, it should be our Saint. When will it be your turn?"
But he never wanted to say such words out loud. He got angry when he thought of Xia Chichi's smug look.
I have offended too many people... I am an enemy everywhere I look.
Zhao Changhe, who never knew how to face Shura Field, held it in for a long time, and finally found a way to smooth things over: "Um... Venerable Suzaku sent you here to ask for the Night Emperor's token... Let's talk?"
Serious matters are indeed the best topic to divert attention. Huangfu Qing sighed and said, "Yes, I have something important to talk to you about. I am not like others who have nothing to do."
Seeing the weak and guilty look, Tang Wanzhuang, who had been very passive, finally smiled and said leisurely, "Yangyang."
"Ah, Chief."
"Come to my courtyard and have a few cups of tea? Just give them some space, don't be so stingy." Tang Wanzhuang walked out the door, sighing to herself: "Some people are actually quite pitiful. They are sent all the way here and there just to ask a small matter, and they may even have to warm the bed afterwards... She looks like a concubine, but she is actually a maid. Next time, just let Baoqin talk to her..."
Huangfu Qing was furious.
The Winged Fire Snake's identity is not good at all! This is unequal!
"Okay... Wanzhuang is just deliberately provoking your reaction to test whether you might be the Suzaku Venerable." Zhao Changhe sighed: "It's not a bad thing for the Venerable to send you running around. What's the point of staying in the palace? You like to be carefree in the martial arts world. Besides..."
Huangfu Qing said with a straight face: "What else?"
"Besides, I want to see you."
"You started saying nice things when the person left. Why didn't you say a word just now?"
"First, I really don't know how to speak in this situation, and second... I feel like none of you want me to speak."
Huangfu Qing was stunned for a moment, but he actually felt that there was some truth in what he said. At least he wanted to speak just now, but was interrupted by himself. At that time, he really didn't want him to talk too much and help anyone, even if it was to help himself, it didn't make any sense.
To be frank, it's not just about stealing a man...
Although they all have a desire for exclusivity, the essence is that these arrogant women who have been fighting for a lifetime have just changed the battlefield. It is more like trying to anger the other party to death rather than snatching the man.
Otherwise, she should have tried every possible way to make Tang Wanzhuang give up this man instead of saying "If you are obviously trying to compete with me for my favor, I will still respect you as a rival", which is simply assisting her.
Looking at Tang Wanzhuang's final performance, I wonder if she is ready to join the game. It looks like she has some interest...
Huangfu Qing looked at Zhao Changhe, his mind full of ellipsis. I fought with her till death, but in the end you got the advantage? He seemed to be silent, but he was actually making a fortune in silence... Look how accurate he was in the end, using the real business to get out of the situation.
"Ahem." Zhao Changhe said seriously: "Let's go inside and talk. I want to explain this token to you in detail... Aww~ Why did you hit me~"
"I've been allowed to flirt with other women, to be a playboy, and to make a fortune in silence. Are you still proud of yourself? Go to hell! And you're still explaining the token. Is it important? I don't care whether you are the descendant of the Night Emperor or not. Even if the Night Emperor himself comes, I will beat you to death!"
A man's suppressed screams were heard in the night. Two peeping heads popped out from the courtyard wall. They looked at each other for a long time and said, "It seems that this should have been done earlier. It was a mistake before."
