Chapter 238
The Queen Mother's lips curled up in a mocking smile.
"Promise? When did I ever promise such a thing?"
The Royal Concubine's face flushed red. "That Crane's Beak Red is our deal!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
The Queen Mother continued to smile as she looked at the Imperial Concubine and slowly shook her head.
"Come to think of it, you entered the palace even earlier than I did. How come you're still so naive after going through so much?"
"Oh, yes, wasn't the bowl of abortion medicine you gave to Concubine Hua the deal you made with the late emperor?"
"Killing a child and getting a concubine position is not a loss at all."
"Also, can you say that Cao Qinmo's death has nothing to do with you? Wasn't it also a deal between you and the Zhen family?"
"So, why are you so angry?"
"Didn't you expect that I'm a man who doesn't keep his word?"
The Queen Mother's words were full of sarcasm.
Hearing this, the Imperial Concubine became furious and her breathing became rapid.
How could she not imagine what kind of person the Queen Mother was?
But what if I knew?
She has no choice!
Although Feng and Shen were crazy, they did not say one thing wrong.
A new emperor appoints new ministers, and the same is true for the harem.
Without the late emperor, what difference would there be between us and the fish on the chopping board in the eyes of the empress dowager who now holds power?
For Wen Yi, he was bewitched by the Queen Mother and had someone provoke Long Yue several times, which eventually made the other party determined to commit suicide.
The red crane's crown was found by Jixiang himself.
As long as something is done, there will be flaws.
What’s more, the harem is in such a state now?
As long as the Queen Mother wants, she can get the witnesses and evidence in an instant.
By then, I'm afraid I won't even be able to keep my position as a permanent resident.
Her face was bitter and her eyes were dull, and the Imperial Concubine Dowager was stunned for a moment.
In all her years in the harem, when had she ever suffered such hardship?
Even when Shilan was assisting in managing the six palaces, her life was just a little more difficult.
But the Queen Mother would not give her any more chance to think about it.
"Wen Yi is grown up now. I wonder what she would do if she knew the cause of her biological mother's death."
Qi Yuebin suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with blood as he looked at the Queen Mother.
But the Queen Mother didn't care at all.
Staring straight at the other person, "Also, one should always think more about oneself throughout one's life. If Wen Yi doesn't go for the marriage, then you... hehe, Qi, think about it carefully. I am waiting for your news."
After saying this, the Queen Mother did not stay any longer, but stood up and walked out.
Watching the other person's back disappear, Qi Yuebin could no longer hold on.
His body softened and he slid under the table.
The Queen Mother was so cruel that Qi Yuebin was so frightened that he could hardly stand up.
Jixiang supported the other person, not knowing how to comfort him for a moment.
Two lines of helpless tears rolled down, and Qi Yuebin's voice sounded again.
"She's got me in such a desperate situation, forcing me to choose between my own life and Wen Yi's marriage."
"If I don't allow Wen Yi to marry, I'm afraid she will tell Wen Yi about the cause of Cao's death. I..."
She should have known long ago that trying to get the skin of a tiger would never end well.
Qi Yuebin kept muttering, and felt his breathing stagnate. Then his eyelids drooped and he fainted completely.
Ignoring Jixiang's exclamation behind her, the Queen Mother supported Jianqiu and whispered, "Feng and Shen's behavior is rebellious and they really don't deserve to live in this world. Go and do it."
"Yes."
The dust settled in Shoukang Palace for a while, but Qingying was dragged back to Jingren Palace by Hongli.
Looking at the other person sighing, I felt a little impatient.
After ordering Xiuxia to bring some snacks, Qingying sat opposite Hongli.
"I dare to ask, Your Majesty, are you still worried about the Shoukang Palace incident?"
Hongli nodded slightly. "You could almost say that Longyue grew up under my watch. She was so lively and lovely when she was little, but now she has been instigated by the Feng family and has become like this. She even lost her life. It's really pitiful."
Qingying laughed to herself.
How could it be because of pity for Longyue?
Maybe he is worried that there will be no one to marry into the marriage alliance with.
"Your Majesty, everyone has their own destiny. I think this might be a relief for Longyue."
