Chapter 229 - A Denial

"How can I not be worried? It's been a long time since we last met, and it's been three days since the emperor has come to visit chenqie. Qin Luofei's coquettish tone.

"Aren't we here to visit the Love Consort? Even when I brought sickness to visit you, didn't you feel the slightest bit touched? "

"Your majesty, thank you for pampering chenqie so much."

Qin Luofei raised a smile, the appearance of the Emperor Ming did indeed surprise her. If those women from the imperial harem saw how the emperor doted on them like that, they wondered if they would be jealous.

"I will spend the night here." Emperor Ming said as she stared at Qin Luofei's small face.

"Your majesty, your dragon body is more important. It's best to wait for another day. Your concubine hasn't been feeling well for the past few days, so …"

If it was any other concubine, she would definitely be overjoyed, but Qin Luofei rejected him flatly. In truth, she was not sick, but she did not want to spend the night with him. What made her even more surprised was that at this moment, she actually dared to think of a person in her mind, and that person was Leng Mu.

If the emperor knew what he was thinking, he would definitely execute her.

"It's rare that you, Love Consort, think of me in every way. I'll come visit you when I'm better. Serve your master well. " The emperor said as he left, glancing at Daihua.

"Understood, Your Majesty." Daffodil Daydream knelt down and said.

"Your majesty, then let chenqie accompany you to relax."

Emperor Ming did not refuse, and walked out of the Huishang Hall with Qin Luofei.

From what she remembered, it had been a long time since she had walked with the Emperor Ming like this. What accompanied her was not joy, but unease. She always had a knot in her heart, and whenever she thought of herself in her previous life, she would loathe this man in front of her. Plus, it was very easy for him to read her thoughts from her eyes, so when Qin Luofei was with him, she tried to avoid eye contact with him.

"Why is the Love Consort so silent?" All along the way, Qin Luofei had been in a state of absent-mindedness, and Emperor Ming very quickly discovered it.

"Your majesty, you've gotten sick and haven't seen anyone, but you've only come to see chenqie. Chenqie is overwhelmed by the favor."

As Qin Luofei spoke, she kept her head down, not daring to look into the pair of eyes that could see into her heart.

"Don't you know how much I care about you?" The Emperor Ming said as he reached out to grab her hand.

"That is not what you mean, Your Majesty." Qin Luofei became even more nervous.

The fact that the Emperor Ming was walking with her hand in hand made her feel awkward.

"Love Consort, from the moment you risked your life defending us and almost lost your life, we suddenly thought of one thing, and that is that we have let you down, and we even suspected you." Emperor Ming stopped in his tracks, turned around, and said with an expression as he stared at Qin Luofei.

"Your majesty." Qin Luofei also looked at him lovingly.

This scene was directly hit by Imperial Consort Yu who was walking around. Didn't the Emperor suffer from the cold and refuse to see anyone? Why are you with Sister Qin at this time? Imperial Consort Yu did not walk up, but dodged to the side. She felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, she didn't think that the Emperor Ming had already forgotten about her.

At the same time, was not the only one who saw this scene, he was also clenching the handkerchief in his hand tightly.

"This woman can actually hook the emperor out. Didn't the emperor not receive anyone?" and he's still here at this time. "

Concubine Qin muttered to herself, looking displeased.

Emperor Ming and Qin Luofei did not notice them, and continued to watch the night scenery hand in hand. After strolling for more than two hours, Emperor Ming sent Qin Luofei back to the Huishang Hall before he left.

"It seems that the emperor is very attentive towards you, Miss." Sunset Chrysanthemum was happy for Qin Luofei.

"It's rare for your majesty the Emperor to be so diligent." Qin Luofei recalled the words the Emperor Ming had just said to her. Even strolling around the palace with her was a beautiful thing.

This sentence made her feel sarcastic. In her previous life, she had said these words before, but now, she had said these words to another girl. Wasn't it disgusting for him to say them to another girl?

What Qin Luofei did not know was that news of her and Emperor Ming visiting the harem had spread.

She became the target of jealousy for the imperial concubines, but she also knew that this was the price to pay for being pampered.

However, it also served to confirm her words.

The next day, Qin Luofei went out to relax.

"Today's weather is really good." Qin Luofei came to a garden not far from Huishang Hall to admire the flowers. She couldn't remember for how long she hadn't come out to look at the scenery.

"Who did I think it was?" When Concubine Qin walked over, she was already very unhappy to see her with Emperor Ming last night.

Qin Luofei slowly turned her head. Looking at Concubine Qin's face, she thought of the day Imperial Consort Leng had punished her and made things difficult for her. But now, she was no longer the Concubine Qin she used to be. She had to be punished properly this time.

"Concubine Qin, why aren't you bowing when you see me?" Qin Luofei would never be as polite to her as she was before.

"Salute? Why should I bow to you? " Concubine Qin was even more unhappy. When she was favoured, he didn't even know where she was, but now she was speaking to him in such a tone.

"The one that the emperor dislikes the most is a concubine who doesn't know the rules. Today, I am no longer the concubine but my imperial concubine. Shouldn't you be bowing? " Qin Luofei said.

"You!" Concubine Qin was so angry that she couldn't say a word.

"What is it? Or don't you know how to salute? Or should I ask Feverfew to show you how to bow to this imperial concubine? "

"Don't think that you're amazing just because you're a consort." Concubine Qin still had an unhappy face.

"Daffodil Dayflower, it seems that Concubine Qin doesn't know how to greet her. Daffodil Dayflower, show her."

Daffodil Dayflower immediately walked forward to show her respect to Qin Luofei.

"Concubine Qin, watch carefully." Qin Luofei added.

"Imperial Concubine Qin is blessed." Daffodil Daydream said politely.

"Don't go too far, the moment the Emperor goes to your Huishang Hall, he will catch a cold. It's better if you go back to your Huishang Hall and stop messing around to infect others with bad luck." Not only did Concubine Qin not greet him, her tone became more and more harsh.

Concubine Qin never would have thought that Emperor Ming was already standing behind them.

"Concubine Qin, what did you say just now? "Say it again for me." The Emperor Ming stared at the Concubine Qin with a dark expression.

"Your majesty, chenqie was just speaking without thinking." Concubine Qin broke out in a cold sweat. Right now, the person she doted on the most was Imperial Concubine Qin.

"Do you think I am deaf? Could it be that your Concubine Qin should not pay respects to Imperial Concubine Qin? " Emperor Ming glared at Concubine Qin. He couldn't tolerate anyone disrespecting her at all.

"Your majesty, chenqie doesn't dare next time." Concubine Qin immediately knelt.

"You don't dare? "Would I have been so courteous if it weren't for me just now, when I heard your name?" Emperor Ming frowned, his eyes filled with killing intent.

"Your majesty, let your concubine go. Your concubine doesn't dare." Concubine Qin knew the character of Emperor Ming, if he was angry, the consequences would be unimaginable. Concubine Qin kneeled at Emperor Ming's feet and continued to tug his sleeves, begging for forgiveness. However, Emperor Ming simply did not pay attention to him.

"You are currently living in Zhaoyang Hall. Today, you are moving out of Zhaoyang Hall to live in the westernmost courtyard outside the palace."

Just as Emperor Ming's voice fell, Concubine Qin's eyes started to tear up, what was the difference between this and entering a cold palace?

"Your majesty, chenqie knows she's wrong." Concubine Qin pleaded, but she was pushed away from her arms by Emperor Ming.

Qin Luofei remained silent at the side. This woman had always been unfriendly to her, and now she deserved to be punished for her actions.

"Imperial Concubine Qin, I've let you suffer." Emperor Ming's gaze landed on Qin Luofei's body.

"Thank you, your majesty, for helping me vent my anger, but isn't this a little too harsh on the Concubine Qin?" Qin Luofei pretended to be kind as she spoke.

"You're already being polite to her, Concubine Qin, why are you still retreating? Or do you want us to send you into a cold palace? "

Concubine Qin wiped her tears as she looked at Qin Luofei with eyes filled with hatred. She would definitely take revenge.

"You're still not getting off the stage? Do you still want me to say it a second time?" Emperor Ming roared, completely disappointed in him.

"Your Majesty, chenqie will take her leave." Concubine Qin was heartbroken. She left in a fit of rage, swearing to take revenge, not believing that Qin Luofei could be favoured for the rest of her life.

After Concubine Qin left, she accompanied her to the imperial garden to admire the flowers.

"Imperial Concubine Qin, you look so beautiful today." Emperor Ming looked at Qin Luofei who was standing amidst the flowers, the beautiful scenery paired with the beautiful woman.

"As long as the Emperor likes it." Qin Luofei had a bashful expression as she cultivated her feelings with the Emperor Ming.

Emperor Ming casually picked a peach flower and helped Qin Luofeng carry it.

"You give me a different feeling, you always make me think of an old friend." Emperor Ming once again thought of her.

Qin Luofei was very curious, she actually wanted to know who he was thinking of.

"Who is the old friend that the emperor spoke of?" For the Emperor to be so concerned about something, he must have a very important position in the Emperor's heart. "

"Well, how important it felt to me when she was around, but I've only recently remembered a lot of things since she left. However, it's a pity that she is no longer in this world. It's useless to regret it. "

"Who is it?" Qin Luofei guessed.

"It's all in the past now."

Qin Luo Fei's heart sank. Could he be talking about her from his previous life? Did he have a conscience and think of himself? It was too late to wonder.

"Since the Emperor doesn't want to mention it, chenqie doesn't want to say anything else either." Qin Luofei looked a little unhappy.

Emperor Ming saw through Qin Luofei's thoughts. Women were always like this, only liking him for himself. Presumably, his words just now made Imperial Concubine Qin feel uncomfortable.

"Love Consort, that is already the past. How can the people in the past be compared with the people in the present?"

Qin Luofei never would have thought that the Emperor Ming would actually say such words to her. How much does he care about her? He wondered how he would react if he knew that he was the person he missed.

"The emperor said that chenqie gives you the same feeling as an old friend. Then, would you treat chenqie as an old friend?"

"You are you and she is her. Although they feel the same, they are still different people." Emperor Ming immediately explained.

"What if they were the same people? Will the emperor be scared? " Qin Luofei just wanted to see how he would react. If the day came that he knew that he was the Empress Leng he threw into the Ten Thousand Beast Pit back then, what would he do?

"Love Consort sure knows how to joke around. How can she be the same person as you when she's already dead?"

"Chenqie was just joking. Your Majesty, don't take it to heart." Your majesty, you haven't completely recovered from your illness. Why don't you go back and rest? " Qin Luofei changed the topic.

"I'm a bit tired." Emperor Ming would always feel tired thinking about Empress Leng, because he felt guilty about this woman and how she was unable to repay him in this life.

"Chenqie will accompany you back." Qin Luofei said.
