Chapter 146 The Rotten Black Moonlight!
Mei Zifeng, who was serving beside the imperial carriage, keenly sensed the Crown Prince's emotions and immediately interrupted his frantic thoughts, "Your Highness, we have arrived at the Meridian Gate platform!"
Qing Tingyu was pulled back to reality by Mei Zifeng's words, and she also gave up her thoughts about that heartless person, so that she didn't suffocate.
On the high platform of the Meridian Gate.
The Imperial Concubine Mo, dressed in brocade and adorned with a head full of priceless pearls and jade, had a face as beautiful as a lotus blossom, touched with rouge, making her more delicate and radiant than any flower!
When Consort Mo saw that the person who came was His Highness the Crown Prince, whom she had not seen for a long time, she still nervously wrung out her gold handkerchief, not daring to raise her eyes to meet His Highness's piercing gaze.
Qing Tingyu gazed at Mo Fanfan, who had become even more voluptuous and alluring after receiving her father's favor on the high platform, and approached her with a cold laugh, "I wonder? What brings Consort Mo here today?!"
Mo Fanfan was so frightened by Qing Tingyu's cold tone that she retreated repeatedly. "Your Highness, I still think of you!"
With the help of her trusted maid, Mo Fanfan finally steadied herself. She mustered her courage, raised her eyes, and looked directly at Qing Tingyu. "Ayu, has our relationship really deteriorated to this point?!"
The woman's tearful questioning failed to evoke even the slightest pity in Qing Tingyu.
He cut to the chase, impatiently asking, "What task does Consort Mo want me to do this time?!"
"My patience is limited, does Consort Mo not know that?" Qing Tingyu made a gesture to leave.
Seeing this, Mo Fanfan hurriedly grabbed Qing Tingyu's sleeve and pleaded, "Ayu, I have been favored by the emperor for several months but have not conceived a child. Please, please help me find out what the problem is!"
Hearing Mo Fanfan's implied desire to conceive her father's child, Qing Tingyu shook off Mo Fanfan's hand and laughed loudly, "Consort Mo, you've probably asked the wrong person. Would I create an enemy to contend for the throne for myself?!"
Mei Zifeng, who was serving the Crown Prince, shook his head and scolded Fanfan after hearing her pleading, "Consort Mo, don't push your luck!!!"
Mo Fanfan grabbed the silk handkerchief handed to her by the maid and wiped away her tears. She then knelt down with a thud at Qing Tingyu's feet.
"Imperial Consort? What are you doing?!" A maid from Fanhua Palace rushed forward to help Mo Fanfan, who was kneeling on the ground!
Mo Fanfan raised her hand to dismiss the maid, then kowtowed to Qing Tingyu, "Your Highness, I assure you that the heir in my womb will never compete with you for the throne!"
"Fanfan only wants to bear the emperor's child so that she can save her brother and father's lives!!!"
"His Highness the Crown Prince wields immense power. Once Fanfan gives birth to the imperial heir, he can find any pretext to banish her to the Cold Palace!"
"I only ask that Your Highness find a pretext to exile my elder brother and father to the frontier, so that they may at least survive!"
Qing Tingyu sat on the soft chair that Mei Zise had carried onto the high platform, draped in a fox fur cloak, but her gaze went past Mo Fanfan kneeling at her feet and straight to the sky where dark clouds gathered and lightning flashed.
"Is it going to snow?!" Qing Tingyu murmured to himself, feeling as if his heart was being torn in two, with waves of pain coming from it.
Mei Zifeng stepped forward and chimed in, "Your Highness, according to the Astronomical Bureau's forecast, it will probably snow today, marking the beginning of winter!"
After hearing this, Qing Tingyu finally withdrew his gloomy gaze!
She then focused her gaze on Mo Fanfan, who was kneeling at her feet, and said, "Since you all know that I am incredibly powerful, why did you bother to enter this game and become my father's woman?!"
Mo Fanfan tilted her head back, her nose twitching slightly upon hearing this. "Your Highness, Fanfan wishes to become a significant pawn. I humbly request Your Highness's permission!!!"
"piece?!"
"Hmm? So you all really thought I was using you as pawns?!"
Haha~
"Granted! I grant Consort Mo's wish!" Qing Tingyu laughed wildly, then boarded the imperial carriage and left the Meridian Gate platform.
Seeing that the eerie Crown Prince had finally left, the maids of Fanhua Palace hurriedly stepped forward to help their mistress up. "Your Highness, His Highness the Crown Prince? His Highness the Crown Prince?!"
At this moment, Mo Fanfan's face, which was usually made up with powder and rouge, was terribly pale!
She raised her hand to dismiss the maids, and stood alone on the high platform where the cold wind was blowing, her eyes filled with tears. "Ayu, it was Fanfan who let you down. In the next life, Fanfan will never see you again!"
The first snow of winter is delayed, something that has been brewing for a long time!
Only then did I have a moment to think that there was still a time in the mortal world where Qingting had not yet bestowed a gift!
Inside the sleeping quarters of the Mobei Hanba tribe, Qianqianluo was curled up inside the palace gate, awakened by a heart-wrenching chill!
She opened her eyes in confusion, only to find that the door to the bedchamber had been opened at some point!
The heavy, downy snowflakes drifted into the bedchamber, and now, glistening snowflakes had gathered on the blanket where she was curled up asleep!
Qianqian stood up from the snow-covered ground, hands on her hips, and shook off the "silver ornaments" on her body!
"Tsk tsk tsk? Is it snowing?!"
"Holy crap, it's really snowing?!" Qianqian, a girl from the south, walked barefoot outside the palace and ran happily on the snow as she watched the snowflakes dancing in the sky!
"Ahhh! It's snowing?! It's really snowing?!"
"Hahaha!!!" Qianqian hugged a pile of snow she had gathered from the ground, took a bite, and exclaimed, "Wow~ It's so cold~ Hahaha!!"
Inside the palace next to the sleeping tent!
Hanba Tuozhang sat on a high platform inlaid with tiger skin, listening expressionlessly to the reports from the court officials below!
Upon hearing the clear and cheerful laughter, Hanba Tuozhang excitedly propped his head up and watched Qianqian roll around in the snow.
"Hmph! Stupid woman!" Hanba Tuozhang found it amusing to hear the woman's wailing and shouting.
"They're this happy about the snow?!"
"How about I give you a taste of my own medicine another day?!" The fierce Tuozhang smiled, his gaze fixed on Qianqianluo, who was frolicking on the snow outside the door.
Qianqianluo, feigning innocence, ran across the snow while pretending to be clueless as she surveyed the military intelligence distribution within the Hanba tribe!
Standing at the head of the assembled officials, Hanba Feiyan stepped forward and bowed to Hanba Tuozhang, saying, "Your Majesty, the Serpent Barbarian Lin Ye has been executed, and the Serpent Barbarian tribesmen have been controlled using parasitic beasts!"
Hanba Tuozhang nodded in approval, "Mm!!!"
Hearing the Central Plains woman's maniacal laughter, the barbarian goblin behind the fierce flying goose suddenly remembered that there were still two Central Plains dogs locked in the water dungeon. He stepped forward to report the situation, "Your Majesty, my men have captured two suspicious persons who were escorting the Central Plains woman back to the city!"
"After several rounds of torture, the two Central Plains men remained silent. In my opinion, why not kill them as a sacrifice to the flag?"
At this moment, Hanba Tuozhang was staring intently at Qianqian Luo outside the door, completely forgetting that he was discussing politics.
"Your Majesty!!!" The Great Barbarian Goblin cried out helplessly, finally bringing his wild and unrestrained thoughts back to reality.
Hanba Tuozhang squinted, seemingly lost in thought, and said, "Hmm... Goblin, let them go. We need to let the small fish catch the big ones!"
