Chapter 470: Extremely Angry
Lan Qingwu in Fengqi Palace had already dressed. She reclined on the imperial concubine couch, her eyes unfocused, and it was unclear what she was thinking. Ruping beside her said distressedly, "Your Majesty, please have some more soup! You only drank some Jiuzhi Flower Dew, which is not good for your health."
Lan Qingwu finally came back to her senses. She waved her hand and said, "Wait a moment! Is there any news from Chunyuexuan?"
Ru Ping's fingertips trembled slightly: "Your Majesty, I believe His Majesty will be back soon."
Lan Qingwu sighed softly, "Ruping, do you know what I'm thinking? There's really no peace in this palace! Either you hurt me or I hurt you. Sometimes I really..."
She really didn't want to stay in this palace anymore. In such a huge imperial city, everyone was driven by desire and power. They were scheming and flattering each other all day long. Everyone was calculating for themselves or the family behind them. If that person wasn't in this imperial city, the master of this imperial city, she really couldn't stay here for a moment.
"I finally understand some of his feelings now. If no one around you is sincere to you, and they are calculating this and that against you all day long, then life will really be nothing but boring and cold!"
It would be fine if he was a little confused, but I'm afraid of him having a very clear and delicate heart. He could see through other people's disguise at a glance. Lan Qingwu's heart suffocated for a moment. She thought of her son. Although he was already the prince, there would be more people around him. Was he also experiencing it over and over again, seeing through it over and over again, and having his heart chilled over and over again, until he became cold and ruthless!
Lan Qingwu murmured softly, "Brother Heng, I can always be with you, but...what about Chu Ming?"
Ru Ping heard the noise outside the palace and hurriedly whispered, "Your Majesty, His Majesty has arrived!"
Emperor Shenwu has already strode into the hall.
Lan Qingwu stood up immediately after, and Ruping supported Lan Qingwu and bowed down gracefully: "Your Majesty, may you be well!"
The Divine Martial Emperor stepped forward and helped Lan Qingwu up. "No need to be so polite. Why don't you rest a little longer?"
Lan Qingwu's eyes were filled with mist. "Your Majesty, I have heard about the palace maid, but I don't know the details yet. If you are busy, please leave this matter to me."
Emperor Shenwu pulled Lan Qingwu to sit on the imperial concubine couch together, "I'd better listen to your opinion on this matter! Li Xiang!"
Li Xiang quickly bowed and stepped forward: "Empress, this is what happened——"
Lan Qingwu's face flashed with anger after hearing this. She looked directly at the Divine Martial Emperor and said word by word, "As long as I am in this position, will these people and these things continue to be directed at me? The dirty water will be thrown endlessly, and innocent people will die one after another!"
Lan Qingwu was extremely angry and asked, "Are they forcing me to kill them all?"
Emperor Shenwu didn't expect Lan Qingwu to be so excited. He hugged Lan Qingwu and said, "Don't be angry, weak! It's just a small matter. If you really get angry, you will fulfill their wishes! I have asked the eunuch deputy chief, Li Zhong, to investigate this matter. I will never allow anyone to slander you!"
Lan Qingwu said sullenly, "Your Majesty, I will avoid suspicion, but I realize that even if I saved thousands of people, it wouldn't be enough to defame this one person's slander! The person behind the scenes is truly calculating, and their reputation is easier to destroy than to build. First, there was the seemingly true murder of the emperor's grandson, and then there was the seemingly true severed hand of a palace maid. One hinted at my vicious mind, the desire to kill the emperor's son and grandson, while the other made it clear that I am jealous and intolerant of concubines! The previous incident only traced back to one noble, so what about this time?"
Lan Qingwu looked up at the Shenwu Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, even if you have unwavering faith in Ruo Ruo, what about the others? Even if you waver in the future... no longer..."
Emperor Shenwu said hurriedly, "That day won't come. Why are you so suspicious? How could I not trust Ruo Ruo? I asked Li Zhong to investigate thoroughly so that no one can throw dirty water at Ruo Ruo, and to warn those with bad intentions! I don't care who that person is, I will never let him off easily! Ruo Ruo, you have to trust me."
Lan Qingwu was silent for a moment before saying, "Then until we find out the truth, I will stay in Fengqi Palace! Your Majesty, please don't come here unless you have something to do!"
The Shenwu Emperor was speechless for a moment and said, "Are you taking your anger out on me? Or are you punishing me?"
Lan Qingwu had some feelings in her mind, but she wouldn't show them. She said helplessly, "If Your Majesty is as inseparable from Ruo Ruo as before, then even if the truth is uncovered, no one will believe it. They might even accuse Your Majesty of favoring Ruo Ruo!"
Emperor Shenwu nodded thoughtfully: "Okay!"
Lan Qingwu continued, "And let's go pay our respects to the concubines as well!"
She had to put on a full show, and it was just right for her to have a few days of quiet time. By the way... she wanted to see who in the six palaces would lose their patience and jump out first. Lan Qingwu was thinking about it, and it would be best if they all jumped out so that she could deal with them all at once. It was also the time to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, otherwise the people in the harem would really think that anyone could step on her as the queen.
In reality, Lan Qingwu was overthinking it. Who among the ordinary concubines in the six palaces would dare to act wildly against the queen, who was so favored by so many people? Even if she didn't care about trivial matters, if the Emperor Shenwu found out, she would suffer a lot.
And the only ones who can pull teeth out of a tiger's mouth again and again are just those few people.
Lan Qingwu lived peacefully in Fengqi Palace, while Emperor Shenwu rested in Qianzheng Palace.
The unusual atmosphere in the harem made all the concubines feel uneasy, and some of them began to feel restless.
The prince didn't care about the palace maids and took the princess to Fengqi Palace to pay her respects.
Lan Qingwu was very happy and asked about the affairs of Qingciyuan. The prince discussed some of the affairs of Qingciyuan very seriously and said, "Madam Qian manages it very well, but she also asked me to ask my mother for someone, saying that she is old and it is better to find someone to take over as soon as possible."
Lan Qingwu smiled and said, "That's right, Madam Qian is a grandmother! The Queen Mother just can't leave the palace on her own, otherwise she can live there."
The prince frowned and said helplessly, "Mother, my father will not let me go if that happens."
The mother and son talked about the reconstruction of Qingci Hospital. During this time, the Crown Princess could not say a word and just sat there quietly. She would talk about other things, but especially about the topic of Qingci Hospital, the Crown Princess did not respond a word.
The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess excused themselves and returned to the Dongde Hall. The Crown Prince strode ahead and said, "You can go back!"
After saying this, he walked into his Chengguang Palace without looking back. The personal eunuch Yun En saw the Crown Prince's anger and hurriedly served him a cup of fragrant tea: "Your Highness, please have some tea."
