Chapter 163: Slamming the Beauty
ar. He just found this girl interesting and wanted to tease her."Cough..." Xuan Yuan Luo Chen, clad in a bright yellow dragon robe, exuded the powerful aura of an emperor, unmistakable.A light cough e..."Alright, stop acting!" Su Qingying impatiently interrupted her again, rolling her eyes. "Put your tears away, Your Highness doesn't have time to watch you perform. This little act might fool Father Emperor, but it won't work on me."
"Never thought I'd be exposed like this, right in front of everyone," the former favored concubine blinked at Su Qingying, her tears forgotten.
Su Qingying curled her lips and continued, "I'm just telling the truth. Why are you crying It's as if you're the wronged one. Don't think I don't know what you're really like."
Su Chengming, who had been silent, was delighted to the point of having his eyes curved. If he wasn't worried about Yan Fei's face, he would have given her a thumbs up.
Well, this style is really domineering, he's got his former swagger! Sharp enough!
After a moment's pause, Su Qingying raised her chin high and scanned the hall with cold eyes like smoke. A chill ran down everyone's spines. "I don't care what schemes you're plotting," she said coldly. "Better keep them to yourselves and hide them well. If any of you dare plot against me, I will repay you tenfold!"
"......A collective gasp echoed through the crowd as their faces paled.
"Father, I have nothing else to attend to. I shall take my leave now." With that, Su Qingying strode out of the hall, leaving everyone stunned.
Back again and she was already being harassed by this group of boring gossips. Su Qingying didn't have the time to waste on them; she'd rather be sleeping than dealing with them.
Su Qingying followed the palace maid who led her all the way to her own Chaoyang Palace. She wasn't afraid at all that she would be blamed by Su Chengming for leaving like this, although he wouldn't really blame her.
"Xier, where is Mo Xuan" Back at Chao Yang Palace, Su Qingying truly missed a certain alluring demon. She wondered how he was doing now.
"Fifth Princess, you summoned me" With a flash of his figure, Mo Xuan appeared from the shadows.
He obeyed Jun Li Ye's order to protect Su Qing Ying's safety in the dark, but when Su Qing Ying went to the main hall just now, there were many masters present. Mo Xuan couldn't follow her and could only return to Chao Yang Palace with Xi Er first.
Su Qingying lightly rested her hands on her cheeks, softly said: "Mo Xuanyin, do you know where Ari and the others went Could we return to Beiling"
It's been so long since I heard from Jun Liye. I wonder if something happened to her
"If my subordinate's guess is correct, the master should still have five days to reach Beiling." After a moment of contemplation, Mo Xuan replied truthfully.
Upon hearing this, Su Qingying's face instantly fell, and she looked listless. "How is there so long left Ugh, ancient times love across distances are really annoying! If only there were airplanes, thousands of miles could be covered in just a few hours."
Although she didn't understand what she was saying, Xi’er still cared and said, "Princess, you've been traveling all day. Why don't you rest first I'll call you for dinner later."
"Hmm."
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Since Su Qingying had left, Su Chengming lost interest in staying any longer. He gave Yan Fei a few verbal warnings and then went to the imperial study, while others returned to their own palaces one after another.
As soon as she returned to Feixue Palace, Su Mo Xue smashed things around, releasing her anger. When Rong De Fei entered, she almost got a cut on her foot from the shards of glass all over the floor.
She walked up to Su Mo Xue's face with a look of utter disappointment. She snatched the Tang blue and white porcelain from her hand, exclaiming in pain: "Xue'er, what are you doing Do you think smashing all these things will solve the problem How can you be so impulsive!"
Su Mo Xue's eyes were red with anger, and she stomped her foot angrily. "Mother, you saw how that little wretch Su Qing Ying treated me! How can you expect me to stay calm Why didn't she just die in the Qing Ming!"
However, she showed no remorse. If they hadn't provoked Su Qingying in the first place, how could Su Qingying have fought back
Thinking of Su Qingying's performance today, and those calm and introspective eyes, Rong De Fei couldn't help but feel a tightness in her heart, "It seems she is no longer the foolish princess we used to manipulate at will. This is troublesome now, how did she become so shrewd after just going to Qingming"
"Hmph, just trying to be mysterious. A fool is still a fool!" Su Mo Xue didn't care. In her eyes, Su Qingying was still that fool, a fool who could never become smart.
"No, I think this little wretch has truly changed. Sheryl, if you refuse to acknowledge your opponent, one day you will suffer the consequences." After all, she was a woman who had spent many years navigating the treacherous waters of the palace. Even if her mind wasn't sharp, her eyes were still incredibly perceptive.
"Mother, you're exaggerating. Even if she's not stupid, what waves can a powerless nobody make" Su Mo Xue was displeased, feeling that Rong Defei was emboldening others and undermining her prestige.
"Shell!" Rong De Fei's voice grew heavier, her tone earnest. "Listen to your mother, could your mother possibly harm you Remember, no matter how much you hate Su Qingying, you mustn't lay a finger on her for now, understand"
"Mother Empress!" Su Moxue's eyes widened, "Could it be that you want me to bow my head to her I absolutely refuse!"
Seeing this, Queen Rongde shouted at her sharply, "She's not afraid of even Yan Fei, so would she be afraid of you She may not have a mother, but don't forget, she has the most noble man in Dongyue backing her up!"
"Humph!" Su Mo Xue coldly snorted.
"Sheryl!" Seeing Su Mo Xue ignore her, Rong De Fei became a little flustered, "Did you hear me"
"Got it!" Su Moxue reluctantly agreed after taking a deep breath. That night, the stars were thick in the sky. Su Qingying woke up at midnight, having slept from the afternoon all the way to ugly time, she was woken up by hunger.
She stretched and Su Qingying sleepily rubbed her eyes. After a good night's sleep, she felt much better.
"Su Qingying's stomach rumbled loudly.
“Princess, you’re awake Are you hungry I’ll prepare a meal for you right away.” Yuer smiled as she brought over the food, saying while busy, “I saw that the princess was sleeping deeply, so I didn’t wake her up. I thought about warming up the food first, so when you woke up, you could eat it.”
Su Qingying walked straight to the table and sat down, praising without hesitation: "It's really good to have a virtuous housekeeper. Everything from food, clothing, and housing is taken care of so well. Heaven has been kind to me."
"The princess has good taste," Xi'er said with a smile, arranging the bowls and chopsticks and then walking behind her to knead her shoulders.
"Alright, your little princess isn't that delicate. Have you eaten Sit down and eat with me." My stomach was growling so loud, Su Qingying picked up her chopsticks and was about to grab some food.
"The slave has eaten..."
"Bang!" Suddenly, Su Qingying slammed her bowl and chopsticks down, startling Xi'er.
At the sight of Su Qingying's face, which was frighteningly pale, Xi'er felt a bad premonition rise in her heart. "Princess, what's wrong"
"The food is poisoned!" The red lips parted softly, her voice gentle yet laced with a chilling intent that cast a shadow over Xi'er's heart.
Xi'er gasped in disbelief, "Poison! How is that possible The princess..."
Su Qingying gently raised her hand to stop Xi'er's words. She took out a silver needle from her waist, inserted it into the braised pork ribs in front of her, and pulled it out, but it was still silver.
Xi'er was puzzled. Didn't the princess say it was poisonoust ordinary people. They won't be hurt easily, just wait a bit longer. Zhao Tian Qi isn't out yet either." Xuan Yuan Luo Chen wished Su Qing Ying would happen to have some accident. Now that she was m...
