Chapter 211 - Favorite Lives

"Empress, you have to understand the emperor. Right now, the emperor only dares to eat food after it has been examined by the imperial physicians without any problems." With that, the eunuch sighed and walked out.

"Don't you trust me enough? I can even give up my life for you. "

Emperor Ming's actions made Imperial Consort Yu even more sad. A man that he treated wholeheartedly, was now worried about poisoning him even after eating his own food? What did he count as in his heart?

Before Su Fei entered the palace, the Emperor Ming had treated him differently. Now, the difference was so huge that Imperial Consort Yu felt heartache. Things were already different now. Where was the promised favor? He was still sick of the old.

"Imperial Consort, don't be upset. Since the harem is like this, there is no one who can let the Emperor Ming favor it for a lifetime. "

Xiao Qin, who was standing at the side, saw through the intentions of the Imperial Consort Yu.

"Of course I know, but I can't accept it for now. It may take time to adjust to a person's life. " Imperial Consort Yu sighed.

Remembering what Qin Luofei had said, he didn't feel any regret about entering the palace. At that time, her answer was so firm, but now she was regretting it. Was it because the Emperor Ming had disappointed her too much? Or was it because he was slowly beginning to feel cold? She couldn't tell for herself.

When the news of Emperor Ming being assassinated spread out, everyone guessed that it was Emperor Yun. Even the Imperial Consort Leng had guessed the same.

"Yun Er, did Emperor Ming find the culprit?"

"No, I heard that the assassins have powerful martial arts, even the Emperor Ming was not her match."

"Looks like the palace will be in an uproar for quite a while." The Imperial Consort Leng said as she gently caressed the child in her stomach. She didn't want anything to happen to Emperor Ming, what if something happened to the child in his womb? And I haven't even sat on the throne of the Queen yet.

Daffodil Daydream had also told Qin Luofei about the assassination attempt on Emperor Ming. Qin Luofei was not surprised nor was she happy, what did his life or death have to do with her?

"Miss, don't you think it's strange? There's actually someone who dares to assassinate the Emperor, many people speculated that it was the Emperor Yun. " Daffodil Daydream whispered into Qin Luofei's ear.

"Daihua, I told you to keep your eyes on Bright Moon Hall, not the Imperial Study." Regarding this matter, Qin Luofei acted as if it had nothing to do with her, and did not want to participate in the discussion.

"Got it." Daffodil Dayflower did not dare to continue as she looked at Qin Luofei who was unhappy.

Qin Luofei sat in the yard reading a book, and suddenly Daffodil Dayflower discovered that there was a very large bruise on Miss's ankle.

"Miss, what's going on? Does it hurt? "

Qin Luofei shook her head. Yesterday, she was punished to kneel, so these youths could be considered as the light ones.

"Miss, what are you going to do in the future?" Sunflower looked at Qin Luofei with a face full of worry.

Qin Luofei smiled, "Naturally, the women in the palace live for one day at a time."

Qin Luofei's toughness always made people's hearts ache, Leng Mu, who was not far away, witnessed this scene. However, he could only look at her from afar, but he could not step forward to help her.

Leng Mu clenched his fists tightly, his fingernails digging into his palms and releasing blood-red flowers. The Emperor Ming had killed the Empress Leng that he liked never to see again, and now she was being tortured like this.

The reason the Concubine Qin was tormented like this was because of the entanglement she had with her during her reign. Thus, from the bottom of his heart, he felt that she had let down this woman.

had a whole new level of respect for a woman who had lost her child, and was even able to live such a brave life.

Qin Luofei turned her head and saw Leng Mu hiding in a corner, staring at her. Earlier, she had sensed his presence and thought that he was someone from the Imperial Consort Leng, but she didn't expect that he was actually Leng Mu.

This man was too concerned about her, and she didn't want to fall in love with another man anymore, so she chose to keep her distance from him. Only by doing this could she clearly remember the purpose of her current life, which was to seek revenge. She did not want any emotional entanglement in this life.

"Miss, what are you looking at?" Daihua looked towards Qin Luofei's eyes, but she didn't see anyone behind her.

"Nothing, I was just looking around."

Qin Luofei pretended not to see it, believing that the Master Leng was also someone who understood reason. He should know what was important and what was not. During lunch time, Qin Luofei went back to her room, closed the door, and used her concocted medicine to treat her own leg injury. Fortunately, he had his pants covering him, otherwise, he would probably be suspected.

After applying the medicine, she walked over to the headboard and gently touched the pillow.

Since she was still here, she was relieved. The imperial harem had to be on its guard.

At this moment, Emperor Ming was sending more people to the palace to search for the location of the man in black from last night.

Since last night, the Emperor Ming had already closed its doors, and no one was allowed to leave the palace. They wanted to capture the person who tried to assassinate them alive, but there was no result even after a whole night and a morning's worth of time.

"Haven't you found it yet?"

Emperor Ming was anxious in the royal study room. If he couldn't find the culprit, he wouldn't be able to rest at peace for even a moment.

"Your majesty, perhaps the assassin has already left the palace. Your subject has already searched the palace but did not find any traces of the assassin." The leader of the guards lowered his head, afraid that the Emperor Ming would be angered. A loss of an official was a small matter, but a loss of one's head was a huge problem.

Emperor Ming said angrily: "Last night, the city gates were sealed. You told me that the assassin had to leave the palace? Do you not want to be the leader? "

Emperor Ming was angry at the moment, so anything could be done.

"Your Majesty, this humble subject did not mean to do that. It's just that I was unable to find it for so long. Unless it is the work of someone from the palace, it is impossible for it to not have been able to search for it so far. " The Embroidered Uniform Guard leader didn't want to say this because if it was really the people from the palace who attempted to assassinate the Emperor, then the Emperor would be even more uneasy.

The Emperor Ming said, "Increase the scope of the search and pass down my orders. Everyone in the harem will cooperate with you in tracking down the assassin. Right, the assassin's leg should be injured, so pay attention to his leg. "

"Your Majesty, then this humble subject will immediately go and do it, but …" Has the palace of the imperial concubine been fully searched? "

Emperor Ming was startled, and said: "Search them all."

Emperor Ming couldn't wait to catch the real culprit.

The guards in the imperial harem started searching every palace, the first one being the Imperial Consort Leng's chambers.

"What are you doing here?" A palace maid blocked off the guards at the entrance of the palace.

Imperial Consort Leng was eating when she heard the commotion outside and walked out.

"What happened? How is it proper for people to be so noisy. "

When the guards saw the Imperial Consort Leng, they immediately greeted him. "Reporting to the Imperial Concubine, the Emperor has ordered us to capture the murderer of the Emperor. Every palace must be searched, including the chambers of the imperial concubines. We hope that the Empress can grant our request."

"How dare you! You guys don't even suspect me!" If these servants were to search his chambers, how would he be able to lead his harem in the future?

That guard was also unyielding as he said, "Imperial Consort, please cooperate. This is also the emperor's order."

The leader of the Imperial Secret Service did not stop because of the Imperial Consort Leng. If he could not catch the assassin, he would die.

"You! "How dare you." The Imperial Consort Leng roared.

The leader of the guards stepped forward and said, "We have committed many offenses. Please calm your anger, Imperial Consort Leng."

The leader of the guards waved his hand behind him. Imperial Consort Leng watched as they searched the entire palace, it seemed that the Emperor would have to find this murderer, and he wouldn't let this go. This was the first time the guards had searched concubines's chambers.

The imperial concubines were in a state of turmoil as they searched the imperial harem, one by one.

"Miss, something's wrong. The emperor …" Daihua ran over to look for Qin Luofei, gasping for breath.

"What is it? "It depends on how anxious you are." Qin Luofei said.

"The Emperor ordered the Embroidered Uniform Guards to search the harem one by one for the murderer who attempted to assassinate him."

"Why?" Qin Luofei was stunned.

"Miss, I'm afraid they are already searching. I'm worried that there will be more people waiting for us later …"

That's why I came here in a hurry to tell you. " Daihua had only gone outside to get the medicine for the young lady when she saw a group of guards searching the harem.

"Right now, the Emperor Ming is really full of talent. It's fortunate that he could think of something when searching the harem." Qin Luofei sneered.

Just as Qin Luofei wanted to return to her room, the Imperial Secret Service leader led a group of guards and stood at the door.

"What are you doing?" Qin Luofei pretended not to know.

"Greetings Concubine Qin." The leader of the Embroidered Uniform Guard sized Qin Luofei up. She was the most doted on by the Emperor Yun, and her appearance was pretty.

"We are ordered to search the assassins." The leader of the guards waved his hand, and the guards started searching the palace without waiting for Qin Luofei to speak.

Not long after, a guard reported, "Nothing."

"Have you found all the rooms in the Warm Pavilion?" The leader said.

"I didn't go in to look for the Concubine Qin's room." Within the other chambers, they didn't dare enter the concubine's room to search.

"Go to the room!"

Rumors had it that the leader of the Embroidered Uniform Guard had long since heard of the news as well. Not only was he not doted on by the Emperor, he was also excluded by the Imperial Consort Leng, so he was not courteous in the slightest towards her leader.

Qin Luofei quickly stopped them, saying: "Wait, that's my room, you guys also dare to go in."

"Concubine Qin, could it be that you want to refuse the decree?" The leader used the emperor as a shield.

"Chief, are you searching every single room of the concubine concubine?" Qin Luofei understood Imperial Consort Leng very well, how could she let them search his room?

The leader said coldly, "The Emperor has ordered that the imperial harem must be inspected one by one, and not a single mistake must be made. If the assassin is let go, this humble subject will not be able to take the responsibility. "

"Leader, if you have searched every single one of the concubines' rooms, this concubine will give you a search. But, if you only search for me alone, then wouldn't the leader think too highly of me, the Concubine Qin? "

The guard leader did not even put this unfavoured concubine in his eyes and said: "Concubine Qin, why are you so anxious to search your house? Could it be that there is someone inside? "

"How dare you slander the Concubine Qin." Imperial Consort Yu stood at the door and cursed at the leader.

Everyone knew that Imperial Consort Yu was Emperor Ming's savior, and that her position in her heart was extraordinary. So when they saw her, they naturally became a bit more respectful.

"Greetings Imperial Consort Yu."

"I'm actually curious about why you didn't search my room when you went to Jade Phoenix Hall, and instead searched her room when you came to Concubine Qin?" Imperial Consort Yu exposed the leader on the spot.

"I just find this place a little suspicious, so …" The leader stammered.

"So what? So you do not put the Concubine Qin in your eyes, right? " Imperial Consort Yu berated the leader harshly. Towards the ones who bullied her sister, she would not be merciful.

"This official dares not." The leader kept his head down.

"If you don't dare, then why aren't you leaving?" Imperial Consort Yu gave the order, and the leader could only lead the Embroidered Uniform Guard to leave the Huishang Hall to search the next place.
