Chapter 148 - Let's Work Together

Su Jiaoyun watched the two figures leave, her teeth aching with hatred. She did not understand why the Emperor did not like her when her beauty was no less than that woman's.

Furthermore, she also asked around, the Emperor did not serve this Concubine Qin.

Other than the Beauty Zhang beside him, the rest of the imperial palace only had the late emperor's concubine.

Su Jiaoyun could not understand no matter how much she thought about it.

Beauty Zhang from the start to the end did not say a single word.

She was intelligent and understood the heart of Emperor Yun. Even the empress dowager wouldn't be able to stop her.

"This Dowager will absolutely not let that woman take the position of Empress. Absolutely not." the Empress Dowager said angrily.

Su Jiaoyun once again supported the empress dowager and comforted her in a low voice, "Empress Dowager, don't ruin your body because of a girl like that. It's really not worth it, I believe the emperor will understand what the empress dowager is thinking sooner or later."

"You're still sensible, but your majesty …" "Why don't you like me?" The Empress turned to look at the beautiful woman before her and wondered.

In the past, he was cold and aloof. He didn't expect that after becoming the Emperor, he would still be like this. Could it be that women were so unattractive to him?

Emperor Yun was his most beloved son, and he couldn't be removed from Emperor Yun like how he treated the previous emperor.

"Empress Dowager, there's a gust of wind. Let's head back to the palace!" Su Jiaoyun suppressed the anger in his heart and served the empress dowager with all her heart.

However, she didn't realize that the mama and aunts by the empress dowager's side were looking at her with such expressions that they wished they could skin her alive.

With the love of the empress dowager, aside from pretending to be virtuous in front of the empress dowager, Su Jiaoyun scolded willfully in front of the other palace maids and aunts.

Even the empress dowager wouldn't easily reprimand these old men. Who did the daughter of the Su Clan think she was? She thought that all the people in the palace were servants of the Su Clan, and truly didn't know how high the sky was and how deep the earth was.

Su Jiaoyun was born into a rich family, and never treated the servants beside him as human beings.

How could he understand that these servants were the ones he should not offend the most? They were spread throughout every corner of the palace, and were well-connected. When it came to matters, they were easier to do than masters.

A few of the old granny ladies already disliked Su Jiaoyun, she did not know how to keep herself in check, and did not want to live anymore. The Su family had already changed the world. Even the emperor didn't like her. Even if the empress dowager doted on her, what use would it be?

In the past, they had to endure this, but in the future, there was no need for it.

The few old nannies looked at each other with disdain.

Qin Luofei accompanied the Emperor Yun back from the imperial kitchen as dozens of dishes were placed on the table in the inner room.

Qin Luofei looked at the table full of good dishes, feeling hungry in her stomach.

Emperor Yun also ordered the eunuchs to bring a cup of good fruit wine, and drank a few cups with Qin Luofei. Dazzling Spring and Zi Yuan sat beside them to serve them.

Emperor Yun glanced at Daihua, then said to Qin Luofei with a smile, "This maidservant of yours sure is pretty."

Qin Luofei was stunned. Emperor Yun rarely looks at women's faces, it was strange today.

Qin Luofei turned around to look at Dazzling Spring, and said with a smile: "Then does Your Majesty want to bestow the title of Imperial Concubine to Dazzling Spring?"

Emperor Yun raised his chopsticks and slapped Qin Luofei's head, and said angrily: "Good! "No, if you dare to have fun with me, hurry up and give me a drink."

"Sure." Qin Luofei picked up his wine glass and drank two cups.

In any case, the degree of the fruit wine was very small. It wouldn't be a problem even if he drank ten cups of it.

Emperor Yun shook his head helplessly, but he still glanced at Daihua from the corner of his eyes. He raised the cup in his hand and laughed: "I will also drink with you, in case you say that I'm bullying you."

The two of them drained a small jar of fruit wine before stopping.

"Your Majesty, this Fifth Prince wishes to seek an audience with Your Majesty." A young eunuch reported in a low voice from outside the door.

Emperor Yun was startled, he stopped eating and immediately stood up.

"Eat slowly, I'll go and see what Fifth Bro needs from me."

Qin Luofei looked at the back of the Emperor Yun and sank into deep thought. Ever since Seventh Prince ascended to the throne, he rarely entered the palace, but now, he entered the palace everyday. Something must have happened.

"Miss, have some food! Let's not drink anymore. " Sunflower advised from the side.

Qin Luofei raised her eyes to look at Daihua, nodded, and said, "I'm also tired, let's sleep! Zi Yan, go instruct the kitchen to prepare supper for the emperor and the Fifth Prince and send it to the front. "

"Yes, concubine." Zi Yuan went to prepare.

Qin Luofei finished washing her face and rinsed her eyes. She got onto the bed and closed her eyes.

Daffodil Daydream was packing up her clothes and jewelry.

Seeing that the dressing table was no longer fit, Daihua sealed the rare items in boxes and stored them in the warehouse.

"Daihua, how long have we been in the palace?" Qin Luofei opened her eyes and said.

Xi Ju thought about it and said, "It must have been two years!"

Two years. It was only two years. Why did she feel like she had forgotten about her old home after such a long time?

The night in the palace was long. When would it end?

"Miss, don't let your thoughts run wild. Hurry up and go to sleep!" Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep again. " Daihua put the jewelry away and came to pull up the bedding for Qin Luofei.

Qin Luofei nodded.

"Fifth brother, is what you said true?" Emperor Yun looked at him expressionlessly.

Fifth Prince nodded, and said: "It is absolutely true."

"Hahaha... "Hahaha." Emperor Yun laughed until his eyes turned red.

"Fifth Brother, you said that everyone envies us for being born in the King's household, but who can understand our bitterness? The palace has no kinship, no brotherly feelings, not even parental feelings. Those ordinary citizens are better than us. "

Fifth Prince looked at Emperor Yun, slightly nodded, and said, "May Your Majesty please indicate how this subject should handle this matter."

Emperor Yun turned around and sat on his chair as he said hatefully, "This Emperor really didn't see that the Li Family had some tricks up their sleeves. "He actually dared to secretly train the army. Does he want to rebel?"

"It's very possible that the Li family isn't supporting the army for a day or two. The Emperor should have made preparations earlier, but if he's afraid of being forced into a corner, they're in a desperate situation. It's not good for us as well." Fifth Prince walked forward slowly and said with a low voice.

Emperor Yun nodded his head and said sternly: "Fifth brother, watch them for me. Don't let them have any contact with the State Grandmaster, otherwise, help me take care of them."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Fifth Prince nodded and left the hall.

Emperor Yun stood alone in the spacious great hall. His eyes were pitch black, who knew what he was thinking about?

Only after a long time did he return to the rear palace.

Xi Ling who was serving in the rear hall wanted to wake Qin Luofei up, but was stopped by Emperor Yun.

Emperor Yun waved his hand and said, "You may leave!"

Sunflower raised her eyes to look at Emperor Yun, then silently withdrew.

Emperor Yun entered the inner room and laid down his bed s. He extinguished the candles and looked at the curtain between the Warm Pavilion and the inner room in the darkness.

Darkness covered this pitch-black palace.

A white silhouette silently stood in front of the windows of the palace, gazing at the bright moon hanging in the sky.

His eyes were clear and cold without a trace of warmth. The gauze covering his face had already been removed, so it was possible to peek at his devastatingly beautiful face. He was so handsome that he looked like an exiled immortal that had descended to the mortal world.

He had been growing up with patience. He knew that his enemy was at hand, but he didn't have the chance to take it back.

It was time for him to take revenge. He wanted those who had hurt his mother to die.

"Xi Di." A cold voice came from behind him.

He turned his head around and saw a man in black silk clothing standing behind him. That familiar face actually had a trace of weariness.

In the past, in his impression, he had always been radiant, and it was rare to see him in such a state.

"Should I call you your Imperial Majesty, or Third Imperial Brother?" The white-clothed man indifferently spoke, no longer having the feeling of intimacy of meeting again.

The black clothed man smiled slightly and said: "Then should I call you Prince Xi or State Grandmaster?"

"How do you know I'm not dead? "It's even from the Imperial Advisor." The white-clothed man changed his appearance from before.

The late emperor did not speak. He walked to the side of the Prince Xi (State Grandmaster) and lightly said, "I am not dead yet. Why would you die? From the moment you promised Concubine Qin to leave the palace, I already knew your identity. It's just that at that time, I didn't have the luxury of time to think about it, so I let you escape back to the west. "Otherwise, Prince Xi would have had to pretend to be sick in the palace."

As soon as the late emperor finished speaking, he was interrupted by the Prince Xi. "Your royal brother didn't come to find me to reminisce about the old days, right? "I still want to expose my identity to the Emperor."

"What is the meaning of exposing your identity to me?" Let's work together! I want what belongs to me, and you can get what you want. " The late emperor also did not want to beat around the bush.

A cold smile appeared on Prince Xi's lips as he said: "If I wanted to say that I want that old granny's head, would you be willing to give it to me?"

"She is not my mother at all, and she has never doted on me. She only has second royal brother and seventh brother in her eyes. As long as you get what I want, I can promise you anything." Emperor Xian looked at the Prince Xi with a fierce gaze.

"Any condition. Alright, as long as I want it, if royal brother can give it to me, then I'll help you regain your throne." Prince Xi gritted his teeth.

"Then it is settled, royal brother. I'm ready to contact you. I hope you won't disappoint me. " The late emperor turned and walked out of the dark palace.

"Imperial Advisor, will you really believe his words?" An eerie voice rang out.

The Prince Xi sneered, and said: "How could I believe his words? What I want, is something he can't afford. Since he wants to use me to get the throne, then I might as well use him to get everything I want. "

What more did the man hiding in the shadows want to say? Prince Xi waved his hand and said sternly: "You go and do something! I don't want to have any side effects, and even more so, I can't let the second person know that I am a Prince Xi. "

"Yes, Imperial Advisor." The man disappeared in an instant.

Prince Xi was still standing in front of the window frame, gazing at the scenery outside. He had been waiting for this day for far too long. Finally, he no longer had to wait anymore. He wanted to repay the debt with blood and pay for everything with his life. Not a single one of them would die, especially that old demoness.
