PDLP Chapter 66 Lan Fei
Chapter 66 Lan Fei
Just then, a woman dressed in a peach-colored palace dress walked in, supported by palace servants.
Her hair was adorned with numerous pearl hairpins and ornaments, which jingled softly as she moved.
As soon as she entered the room, the woman with bright red nail polish held a silk handkerchief in her hand and covered her nose with a look of disgust.
"It smells strongly of medicine, it's awful..."
At this moment, a palace maid hurriedly carried the incense burner and carefully placed it on the sandalwood table.
Consort Lan then lowered her hand and looked around the room.
His gaze immediately fell on the hanging golden bells.
He let out a disdainful sneer from his nose.
"Greetings, Consort Lan..."
Upon seeing the woman enter, the surrounding palace servants all bowed and greeted Jing Yinghui with utmost respect and trepidation.
However, Jing Yinghui acted as if she hadn't heard him and wouldn't let anyone get up.
The room was completely silent…
The palace women kept their eyes on their noses and their noses on their hearts.
They roughly knew in their hearts that this Consort Lan was clearly putting on airs on purpose.
However, Qin Zijian seemed not to hear anything, and did not even change his posture in the slightest.
Seeing his reaction, a hint of resentment flashed in her beautiful eyes.
Sharp nails dug into his palm, almost piercing his skin and drawing blood.
Back when she entered the Prince's mansion, she was the first person to give birth to a child for Gao Hao.
Despite this, Qin Zijian always held the position of the principal wife.
Later, the Northern Khan himself came to propose marriage.
At that time, Gao Hao had only been on the throne for a short time, and his power base was not yet secure.
In addition, he already had many grievances against the wife who was forcibly placed into the household.
At her urging, Gao Hao unsurprisingly gave Qin Zijian to He Louxiong.
She knew that even though she had suppressed Qin Zijian in every way before.
But with Qin Zijian's looks, she will eventually gain Gao Hao's favor.
It would be better to take this opportunity to completely cut off any possibility of the two of them meeting.
Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes.
To her utter surprise, the spilled water would one day flow back!
Since Qin Zijian was brought back to the palace.
Gao Hao seemed to have completely forgotten the existence of the other concubines in the harem.
He never set foot in their palace again.
Whenever she thought of this, Jing Yinghui felt an overwhelming sense of jealousy.
Qin Zijian, that vixen, is quite cunning.
She actually managed to bewitch the emperor so much that he lost his mind.
But these weren't the most important things to Jing Yinghui.
Now, thanks to her son, she has risen to the rank of imperial concubine, and there is no one above her.
Although Gao Hao favored her son, he never intended to make him the crown prince.
Because of her family background, it was almost impossible for Jing Yinghui to become empress.
Given this situation, she had no choice but to place all her bets on the throne.
If one day her son reaches the highest palace, she will become the most honored woman.
A mother's actions show great concern for her children.
Gao Hao had never cared about anyone so much before, yet now he spent every day in Qin Zijian Palace.
If Qin Zijian were to become pregnant with the emperor's child someday, wouldn't that threaten Yan'er's throne?
Jing Yinghui absolutely will not allow this to happen!
He looked up at Qin Zijian, who was still lying on the couch, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction.
The palace maid standing to the side was someone who was adept at reading people's expressions.
His eyes were fixed on Qin Zijian, a fierce look appeared on his face, and he shouted loudly.
"How dare you! You haven't even risen to pay your respects to Her Majesty!"
Having said that, he didn't give Qin Zijian a chance to react.
He strode forward and grabbed Qin Zijian's long hair, which was scattered on the couch.
It dragged and tore at the problem with great force, with that kind of ruthless strength.
It was as if they were trying to tear Qin Zijian's scalp off.
The palace servants around, seeing this, turned deathly pale and nearly lost their souls.
You should know that Qin Zijian is now the emperor's prized possession.
They are always pampered like jewels, how could they be treated so carelessly!
Seeing this, a palace maid quickly stepped forward to dissuade her, saying, "Your Highness, you mustn't!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two crisp "snap" sounds echoed in the silent palace.
The maid who stepped forward to stop her was slapped to the ground.
The maid raised her chin, her tone extremely arrogant.
"Her Majesty has her own way of doing things, how dare you, a lowly servant, utter such idle talk!"
Now, no one else dared to step forward.
Qin Zijian has suffered many hardships in recent days, and his health has deteriorated significantly.
Now, with a forceful tug from the palace maid, he lost his balance and fell off the bed.
But the maid refused to let go, dragging him all the way down to Jing Yinghui's feet.
The body emitted a hissing sound that sent chills down one's spine.
But Qin Zijian did not react at all.
Like a puppet on strings, with empty, lifeless eyes, she was manipulated and tormented at will.
I thought it would be better if I died...
Looking at Qin Zijian, who was sprawled at his feet like a dog, Jing Yinghui felt immense satisfaction.
Back then, Qin Zijian was Gao Hao's legal wife, but now she's being trampled underfoot.
"Go...help him up..."
Two palace servants rushed forward to help Qin Zijian up. He swayed as if a gust of wind would knock him over.
Jing Yinghui stepped forward, raised her hand and pinched Qin Zijian's chin, forcing him to look up at her.
"Bring the things over here," Jing Yinghui ordered the palace servants, her eyes flashing with a fierce light.
Upon receiving the order, a palace maid immediately brought over a large bowl of medicinal soup. Jing Yinghui took it, a smug smile on her face.
"Both of us have served the Emperor once, so I naturally don't want to make things difficult for you."
This is safflower soup. If you drink it all, I'll let you go. How about it?
Qin Zijian slightly raised his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them. He naturally knew what a safflower was.
She glanced up at Jing Yinghui, a smile playing on her lips.
As if he were about to be freed, he reached out and took the soup bowl without hesitation.
Just then, hurried footsteps were heard outside the hall.
Everyone turned to look and saw Gao Hao striding towards them.
He was horrified by the scene before him.
"What are you doing? Zijian, put the medicine down right now!" he roared.
Jing Yinghui was so frightened that she quickly let go of his hand and knelt down.
She never expected that the emperor would suddenly return at this critical juncture!
You must know that in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
She specifically assigned a large number of people to guard the entire Changming Palace!
However, Jing Yinghui was unaware that Gao Hao was doing this to prevent Qin Zijian from committing suicide.
Countless secret guards were planted inside Changming Palace.
The moment Jing Yinghui stepped into Changming Palace, the secret guard immediately and quietly passed the message to Gao Hao.
Upon learning of the change in circumstances, Gao Hao was extremely anxious and rushed towards Changming Palace as fast as the wind.
In the blink of an eye, Gao Hao rushed to Qin Zijian's side.
She reached out to try and snatch the bowl of medicine from Qin Zijian's hand, but she was a little too late.
