Chengqian Palace.
Xie Qingyi knelt for almost an hour and a half before she was finally invited in by Wang Xi.
She was supported by Yin Yin and was lame.
At this time, Xie Qingyi couldn't tell clearly whether his plan of suffering flesh was achieved or was it just bitter flesh?
Wei Yanzhou was holding a cup of tea, took a sip and put it aside: "It's too astringent."
There was a thud at the bottom of the cup, like a knock on Xie Qingyi's heart.
The two words of happiness and anger are indistinguishable, but they fall like ice in the hall.
Xie Qingyi trembled.
The person with whom she had a deep affection last night looked like someone whom the stars and the moon would be willing to pick for her.
After only one night, why did he suddenly become indifferent?
His side face was indifferent, and his sword eyebrows seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, as if he hadn't seen her in the palace at all.
Xie Qingyi knelt on her legs for more than an hour. She couldn't stand at all and knelt down on the rafters.
"Bless your Majesty."
After saying that, Xie Qingyi glanced over at him, holding a pool of water in his eyes that he couldn't drop.
Any man, seeing her like this, should feel pity for her.
But Wei Yanzhou still didn't raise his eyes, he just lowered his head and looked at the memorial in his hand.
It's like she doesn't exist.
This silent display of power made Xie Qingyi extremely frightened.
Why is she like this? Did she do something wrong?
No!
The wrong person is Cheng Ning!
It was obviously Cheng Ning who made the first move, how could she be wrong!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?" Xie Qingyi took a deep breath and boldly said: "Concubine——"
"Yi'er realizes your mistake?"
Wei Yanzhou didn't even raise his head, and the five words that fell were like thunder on the ground.
wrong?
What's wrong with her?
Xie Qingyi was shocked: "Your Majesty, it was Concubine Xi who bullied my concubine first. How could I ever do anything wrong?"
"Fei Xi?" Wei Yanzhou raised his eyes at this time and frowned.
He didn't seem to want to mention Cheng Ning at all: "Shouldn't you give me an explanation for why you fainted in front of me last night?"
Last night...last night!
Xie Qingyi was frightened and regretful when she woke up, but she definitely didn't mean to faint.
It turns out that Wei Yanzhou was so indifferent to her because he didn't do anything good last night and was in a bad mood, so he was angry?
He really has himself in his heart!
Xie Qingyi immediately said earnestly and aggrievedly: "I don't know what's wrong. When I saw Your Majesty, my heart beat so fast——"
"Oh," Wei Yanzhou sneered: "You are afraid of me."
As the emperor, the most respected person, it is normal to be feared by others.
But in front of him, naturally you can't say you are afraid of him.
Xie Qingyi had already forgotten about Cheng Ning and hurriedly explained: "No, I admire His Majesty's prowess, but I was just too nervous for the first time."
She wanted to kill herself last night.
He promised: "It will definitely not be like this next time!"
In fact, he had no idea that her fainting had nothing to do with him. Wei Yanzhou could not have made her wake up.
"But I am still very disappointed." Wei Yanzhou didn't know what he thought of, his eyes were deep and serious: "In the short term, my beloved concubine will be recuperating in Fengluan Palace. When will she no longer be afraid to see me?"
Two more words almost directly sentenced Xie Qingyi to death!
Her face was pale, and she fell to the ground trembling: "Your Majesty, I am not afraid!"
Could it be that she had to lose everything before she got anything?
If you are imprisoned in Fengluan Palace like Xie Nianyao, what hope do you have for the rest of your life?
She doesn't want it! Absolutely not!
"I won't let you be idle," Wei Yanzhou glanced at Wang Xi.
Wang Xi was already prepared and brought a bunch of scrolls.
Unfolding it on the table, it turned out to be a portrait of a noble lady from Yanjing!
"The court officials are urging me to accept the concubine. It is the beginning of spring and there is no trivial matter in the palace. You and Concubine Shu can select beautiful girls for me."
Xie Qingyi went through many ups and downs, but she didn't expect that it would be like this in the end.
She seemed unable to come to her senses and looked at Wei Yanzhou blankly.
Draft?
Can the draft still be screened?
In previous drafts, from the moment the beautiful girl entered the palace, there were naturally people checking her at all levels, and finally she was sent to the emperor, who was checked by Wei Yanzhou.
But what does he say now?
Want her and Ouyang Xi to screen?
"His Majesty has certain requirements for beautiful ladies. It is best to have both virtues and talents. However, some details are difficult to determine at a glance, so I have to trouble you ladies."
Wang Xi explained with a smile.
It turns out that this is the case. Xie Qingyi was happy and worried after hearing this.
Fortunately, Wei Yanzhou left such a matter to himself and Ouyang Xi, and Xie Nianyao, the queen, had no part in it.
What's worrying is that he has to choose another woman to send to Wei Yanzhou before he is truly tainted by Jun's kindness.
Her thoughtful expression and unwillingness naturally did not escape Wei Yanzhou's eyes.
With Xie Qingyi here, the selection of this show girl will not go smoothly.
She will definitely try her best to overcome many obstacles.
That would achieve Wei Yanzhou's goal.
He also doesn't want the draft to go too smoothly.
And in this way, Xie Qingyi will not be able to do anything at all, and will not act like a monster in front of Cheng Ning.
He understood everything about what happened just now. Fortunately, there was no accident at Cheng Ning's place, otherwise——
A fierce gloom flashed in his eyes, otherwise Xie Qingyi would not have to kneel for an hour and a half.
Xie Qingyi, who was kneeling on the ground, was still cautious: "Does Your Majesty still blame Yi'er?"
"Let's give you a chance," Wei Yanzhou seemed to suddenly remember: "By the way, are you looking for me about Concubine Xi?"
Finally entering the topic, Xie Qingyi was delighted: "Did your Majesty listen to what the prince said? Sister Xi Fei——"
"What's wrong with her? Is it worth teaching a nanny from outside the palace to be such a loser as your beloved concubine?"
"But," Xie Qingyi's expression changed: "I mean well, my sister, Concubine Xi, was feeling unwell, so my father suggested to lend out the nanny in the mansion, but my sister let Xiao Ying tickle Aunt Du without saying a word! "
"Mama Du's eyes can't be cured, but nothing's wrong with my sister."
She said this deliberately because she wanted Wei Yanzhou to understand that Cheng Ning deliberately pretended to be sick last night.
"Really?" Wei Yanzhou put down his pen casually: "What does my concubine mean, that I shouldn't trust Meng Xin?"
Then Meng Xin was originally with Cheng Ning!
Xie Qingyi concealed the anger in her eyes and continued to step on the thunder: "I naturally dare not doubt Your Majesty, but Medical Officer Meng has always been on good terms with my sister, so there must be some partiality between the sisters."
"Moreover, my concubine met General Fu outside the palace just now. General Fu also expressed concern for his sister in his words. It's just a matter of different feelings."
She mentioned Fu Youting just to distract Wei Yanzhou and classify both Meng Xin and Fu Youting as operating behind the scenes with Cheng Ning.
What happened last night must have been faked by Cheng Ning.
If he was suffering from a serious illness, wouldn't Meng Xin should have found a reason for it long ago?
But who has ever heard of Cheng Ning’s illness?
Without an explanation, it can only be pretending.
She didn't see Wang Xi shrinking his neck.
"What? I'm not here, but there are rumors about me everywhere."
