Chapter 122: Destroy her?
At this moment, Yi Luo darted over and sat in the seat that everyone most wanted to sit in, but hesitated about whether to take it.
He hooked his arm around Jiang Qingyan's and said coquettishly, "My husband must be tired... It's all my fault for not letting you get a good night's sleep last night..."
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped, a thick wave of jealousy instantly spreading through the air...
This concubine is so alluring and knows how to be charming; she must be very good at pleasing her husband in that aspect as well...
She must be someone who knows how to compete for favor...
Jiang Qingyan rolled her eyes at Yi Luo, then coughed awkwardly, "Hurry up and start eating, the food will get cold soon..."
This kid has only been in the palace for two days and he's already causing trouble... Is he just trying to stir up trouble?
As soon as she finished speaking, six pairs of chopsticks landed simultaneously in the bowl in front of Jiang Qingyan...
The first bite of food, of course, should be served to my husband first...
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Jiang Qingyan happily picked up and ate the dishes from her bowl one by one. These were all lovingly fed by her men...
At this moment, Yi Luo deliberately switched to his left hand to hold the chopsticks, waved them around the table, and then picked up a piece of braised beef and placed it in Jiang Qingyan's bowl.
The gleaming gold on his ring finger instantly drew everyone's attention; they had only ever seen that ring on the Queen's hand before...
Could it be a gift from my husband?
Feeling the envious glances from others, Yi Luo smiled with satisfaction; this was exactly the effect he wanted.
I definitely have to show off this token of love from my husband!
Seeing his childish appearance, Jiang Qingyan helplessly tugged at the corners of her mouth, took out four more rings from her sleeve, and gave them to Lu Nian, Gulimi, Chen Yuan, and Xuan Ye respectively.
She took a sip of tea and slowly said, "This is a wedding ring, and only those I deeply love deserve to possess it. The fact that you wear it today means that you will only love me for the rest of your lives and promise never to betray me. If you can do that, then wear it on the ring finger of your left hand."
As soon as they finished speaking, the group did not hesitate at all and carefully put the rings on.
Of course, they will love only their husbands and never betray them...
Not just in this life... they wanted only their husband for all eternity...
Seeing that everyone had a ring, Yi Luo quickly dropped her smug look, sat up properly, and quietly picked at the food in her bowl.
At this moment, Mo Ting spoke up: "From today onwards, except for Xuan Ye, the others are all prohibited from serving the emperor for one month."
The dinner table fell silent. The others already knew that these words were actually meant for Yi Luo.
Mo Ting didn't stop Jiang Qingyan from going to the Yi Luo Palace last night, out of consideration for his wedding night, which is why he was exceptionally lenient and gave her one night...
But after today, they must be punished!
Yi Luo frowned, her displeasure practically written all over her face. "Why? Even if you're the Empress, you shouldn't be so domineering! Our husband belongs to all of us, not just you. If you won't let us serve you in bed, does that mean you'll have him all to yourself for the entire month?"
Why is Mo Ting still as petty as before? He's only been married into the family for one day, and he's already leaving him alone in an empty room for a month?
Xuan Ye coughed lightly and said, "Um...the one who can serve in bed...is me too..."
Upon hearing this, Yi Luo tilted his head towards the source of the voice, a flash of surprise crossing his eyes...
How did he end up in the palace?
She then glared at him fiercely, "Aren't you that brothel owner from Qingfeng Pavilion? Last time, when you were waiting for your husband outside the Xia Kingdom's palace, you ran away halfway. How dare you come looking for your husband?"
Xuan Ye was speechless for a moment, and could only lower his eyes in embarrassment...
Mo Ting said coldly, "Do you know that my husband was kidnapped by villains when he returned from Xia Kingdom?"
Yi Luo was stunned for a moment. "My husband was kidnapped? When did this happen? Which reckless scoundrel kidnapped him? I'll go and wipe out his entire family right now!"
Since returning from the Xia Kingdom, he has been busy preparing for his wedding at home, and also has to find time to learn skills from the courtesan...
He really hadn't heard a thing about his husband being kidnapped!
Lu Nian quickly pulled the furious Yi Luo aside and explained the whole story to him in detail.
When she learned that her husband had been kidnapped by such a lewd man, Yi Luo's eyelashes trembled slightly.
He actually put his husband in such a dangerous situation...
Jiang Qingyan gently patted Yi Luo's head, smiling as she comforted him, "Alright, it's all in the past, don't blame yourself anymore. I'm sitting here perfectly fine now, aren't I? Let's not mention this again from now on, let's eat."
Yi Luo bit her lower lip hard until a little blood seeped from the corner of her mouth before slowly letting go.
The thought of her husband's fear and despair when he was in danger made his heart ache uncontrollably.
The Empress's punishment was still too lenient...
Jiang Qingyan placed a piece of meat in Yi Luo's bowl and said softly, "Eat more."
Looking up, she noticed a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. She quickly put down her chopsticks, pinched his chin to examine it, and asked, "Yi Luo, why is there blood at the corner of your mouth?"
Jiang Qingyan took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and gently wiped the bloodstains from Yi Luo's mouth before she could see the clear row of teeth marks on his lower lip.
Unable to contain her heartache, she said, "Yi Luo, don't think like that. I'm perfectly fine, aren't I? Besides, that greasy old man has already been caught. If you're still angry, go to the Execution Department and give him a few more lashes. Don't hurt yourself, it will break my heart..."
Yi Luo's nose tingled, and he forced back his tears. He couldn't let so many rivals see him crying.
He took a deep breath, suddenly stood up, and said, "I'll go to the Ministry of Justice right now."
Having said that, he used his lightness skill to disappear from everyone's sight in an instant.
The others quickly shoveled the food from their bowls into their mouths, greeted Jiang Qingyan, and then headed to the Censorate.
Only Jiang Qingyan, Mo Ting, and Xuan Ye remained, sitting at the table staring at each other.
Before Jiang Qingyan could make any arrangements, Mo Ting spoke first: "Husband, thanks to Xuan Ye, you were able to return safely this time, so tonight... go to Xuan Ye's place..."
Xuan Ye was overjoyed upon hearing this, and his ears even felt slightly hot...
I never expected his good days to come so soon...
Soon, the imperial decree appointing Xuan Ye as a concubine reached the inner palace, including that of the old hag in Yongshou Palace.
After countless busy days and nights, she finally released all the poison from her body, but her vital energy was already depleted and her spirit was not as good as before.
Upon hearing that the Emperor had bestowed the title of concubine upon a man from the palace, she instantly perked up.
She picked up a plum and slowly put it in her mouth, gently stroking her slightly protruding belly, already having made up her mind...
The Emperor is so absurd, why not take this opportunity to depose her?
