Cheng Ning left angrily, and his face became more and more gloomy.
"Your Majesty," Wang Xi said cautiously, "Why don't you take over the Qian Palace?"
The Queen also dealt with it, and Concubine Xi also started running away. There was no point in them staying here.
Xie Nianyao had already fainted.
I don't know if it's because I'm scared or because I'm cold.
“I’ve got some good tea, why don’t your Majesty go to Liyue Palace and have a drink?”
Ouyang Xi took the initiative to invite.
She never fights or grabs, and knows how to advance and retreat when doing things.
Wei Yanzhou thought about it and didn't want to offend Cheng Ning, so he went to Liyue Palace together.
When passing by Xie Nianyao, he didn't even stop for a moment.
Xie Qingyi was still kneeling on the ground, feeling sad.
Although the fine was confiscated on her head, she was injured and the emperor didn't ask any more questions.
It is enough to show how cold-hearted Wei Yanzhou is.
Xie Nianyao has lost power. She is just a small concubine. She has a long way to go before she can ascend to the throne.
In this round, the only winner was Cheng Ning.
I was completely tricked by her!
Cheng Ning must have known his purpose of approaching her a long time ago, and also knew the purpose of inviting her to Jinpingyuan today.
She looked on coldly, seemingly falling into a trap, but in fact she played the game very well.
If you are not willing to give in, how can you be willing to give in? ?
Xie Qingyi's fingers scratched a trail of blood on the ground, her eyes full of reluctance.
One day she must be in a high position and not become the object of pranks by people like them!
Cheng Ning, Cheng Ning!
**
Li Yue Palace.
There are several lotus plants in the yard that are leafing out, which looks a bit cold.
Unlike Linhua Palace, perhaps they all followed their master, and the few maids headed by Chunhua were not of a peaceful temperament.
As long as Wei Yanzhou didn't go, he would hang things on the trees and put paper cuttings on the windows.
Even at the foot of the yard, there are many gadgets.
So every time you enter Linhua Palace, it feels like entering the Grand View Garden.
The main hall of Liyue Palace revealed a Zen feel, which was in line with Ouyang Xi's temperament.
She set up a tea table on the warm couch, with the aroma of tea lingering around. She brought a cup to Wei Yanzhou.
"Your Majesty, try this last year's osmanthus." Ouyang Xi glanced at Wei Yanzhou's expression: "Although it has been stored for a few months, I added some Biluochun and stir-fried it. It tastes pretty good."
The tea fragrance does have the fragrance of Biluochun and the embellished osmanthus, and it smells really good.
Wei Yanzhou drank it all in one gulp: "Not bad."
"Is Your Majesty still angry?"
He put the tea cup back on the tea tray: "What?"
"Here," Ouyang Xi pointed to her eyebrows: "It's still frowning. Your Majesty, please calm down. The Queen is young and grew up pampered, so it's inevitable that the eldest lady will have a bad temper."
Only then did Wei Yanzhou realize that he was frowning, but it was not because he wanted to thank Nianyao.
He knew very well what kind of virtue Xie Nianyao was, and he was angry because of Cheng Ning.
Even though he got an advantage, he didn't know how to behave and showed off to him.
So brave.
Ouyang Xi poured him another cup of tea: "It seems that I guessed wrong. Your Majesty is not angry because of the Queen, but because of Concubine Xi."
"Why are you mentioning her, you annoying guy." Wei Yanzhou leaned on the couch and casually looked into the yard.
"Although His Majesty said so, he is still concerned about Concubine Xi. I remember that His Majesty was here on the night of the 29th of the New Year, but the prince reported the situation in Linhua Palace twice in one night."
That night also on this warm couch, Wei Yanzhou and Ouyang Xi played chess until midnight.
Although Wang Xi's voice was not loud, Ouyang Xi also heard a few words.
Only Xie Nianyao, that idiot, was so jealous that he would challenge Cheng Ning again and again.
Wei Yanzhou raised his eyes in surprise because of Ouyang Xi's carefulness.
Cheng Ning was furious because of the smuggling case that day, so he asked Wang Xido to pay attention.
The old man was meticulous about everything, even reporting how many meals Cheng Ning had eaten.
But I didn't expect Ouyang Xi to hear it.
It doesn't matter if I just heard it. Wei Yanzhou didn't care: "What does that mean?"
"Your Majesty obviously doesn't like chess, but he played with me that night. Later, I kept wondering why."
Ouyang Xi took a sip of tea and smiled lightly.
Wei Yanzhou motioned for her to continue.
"When something happened to the Li family, His Majesty didn't favor the concubine, and my father didn't dare to deal with it leniently. So it probably wasn't to use the concubine to appease the Ouyang family. It was just that you had a dispute with Concubine Xi that day and deliberately attracted Concubine Xi's attention. right?"
She thought carefully about why Wei Yanzhou suddenly noticed her.
But that time when she was greeting her, she helped Cheng Ning choke the Queen.
Moreover, after the night of the 29th, Yanzhou, the guard at the gate of Weiyang Palace, pretended to be affectionate with her again.
Cheng Ning was there at that time.
Repeatedly, it was her fault that Ouyang Xi couldn't react.
This seemingly cold-hearted emperor may be an infatuated person.
But he didn't admit it himself, Cheng Ning didn't see through it, and Xie Nianyao wouldn't believe it.
Wei Yanzhou finished the tea with a sneer on his lips: "I thought Concubine Shu was just straightforward in temperament, but I didn't expect that she is also a delicate person who can understand so much from one behavior."
Of course he didn't admit that he had done so much for Cheng Ning.
After all, in the beginning, Cheng Ning was imprisoned in this palace just to take revenge on her and the Cheng family.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be on guard when I am here. If I wanted to do anything, I would not have helped Concubine Xi just now."
The palace is full of intrigues, and it is rare for anyone to tell the truth.
Seeing how Cheng Ning and Wei Yanzhou get along like this, you know that there are still unresolved knots between them.
Wei Yanzhou seemed to be silent for a moment after hearing this.
Of course he didn't like to confess himself, but to Cheng Ning...only Wang Xi could say it.
After all, Wang Xi is also a man.
He really didn't understand what Cheng Ning was thinking. Maybe Ouyang Xi would understand?
Thinking of this, Wei Yanzhou asked tentatively: "Why was she so angry just now?"
Don't talk about what's going on with Cheng Ning, just ask why Cheng Ning is angry.
Ouyang Xi thought carefully about his words: "Your Majesty should know something about the Queen's secret manipulation of the Cheng family at that time, right?"
How could you not know?
Cheng Ning already knew about the fungus, and there was no reason for him not to know.
It's just that they didn't mention it openly.
"Since Your Majesty knows that, regardless of the case involving the Cheng family, they are Concubine Xi's relatives, he should have been angry from then on."
There is no doubt that Cheng Ning hates the queen.
"The Queen repeatedly used despicable methods and verbal insults. With Concubine Xi's disdainful character, she must have felt that His Majesty's punishment was an understatement."
If it were her, she would be angry too.
It's not like Cheng Ning can coax a child with a sweet date.
Wei Yanzhou tapped his hand on the table, wondering: "Is it too light?"
Taking back the phoenix seal is equivalent to depriving the queen of her title. Is this too light?
He wanted to argue for himself: "Isn't she really angry because Xie Nianyao said she was older?"
