Hairpin Phoenix

   Chapter 309 Appearance

  Lu Mingyu was mentally prepared for this, and smiled lightly: "If she wants to come out, let her come out."

   In less than a month, Emperor Yongjia will lead his army to leave Beijing.

   As soon as the biggest backer leaves, what kind of storm can Concubine Meng find in the palace?

   Queen Qiao was relieved to see that Lu Mingyu was stable: "You can do whatever you want. The emperor is an amorous person. When he has a new love, he can't let go of the Meng family. There is no need to mention the assassination."

  Lu Mingyu nodded slightly.

   In the eyes of Emperor Yongjia, the prince's faction had the absolute upper hand. Concubine Meng, who made a big mistake, has already received the punishment she deserves. Instead, it looked a little pitiful.

   Beating the drowning dog, of course, is a joy.

   To be concerned about the Sacred Heart, you have to restrain yourself a little.

  …

  On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the palace gate of Yanxi Palace finally opened.

   Concubine Meng, who had not appeared for more than half a year, slowly walked out of Yanxi Palace and entered Jiaofang Hall.

  Queen Qiao sat upright on the phoenix chair and looked at Concubine Meng coldly. Lu Mingyu sat beside Queen Qiao, her eyes sharp and indifferent. Princess Hui'an entered the palace, and the first prince concubine, the third prince concubine, and the fourth prince concubines were also there.

   These lively scenes are naturally indispensable to Qin Fei Su Fei. Wang Jieyu, who was pregnant, was determined to have a baby, but she did not show up today.

   All eyes fell on Concubine Meng's face.

   Concubine Meng has lost a lot of weight, and her former bright and charming appearance has also faded a lot, and there are fine lines on her forehead and the corners of her eyes. He looked old and haggard, as if he had suddenly aged ten years.

   Concubine Meng no longer had her usual arrogance and knelt down to kowtow to Queen Qiao: "My concubine Meng, I have seen the Queen Mother."

   Queen Qiao's eyes were like a blade, and she scratched Meng Fei's cheek: "Mengshi, you have been recovering for more than half a year, and now your body has recovered?"

   Concubine Meng replied respectfully, "Thank you for your inquiry, the concubine's body has recovered."

   The injury is so severe that the root of the disease has already fallen. The so-called recovery is to be able to stay and move around. Can't do laborious things, and can't be easily tempted.

   Queen Qiao opened her mouth and tapped a few words: "In the end, you are sick and your body is not as good as before. If it is not necessary, you don't have to come to Jiaofang Palace to ask for your peace. In the future, keep yourself safe and let this palace save some hearts, that's all."

   Concubine Meng responded respectfully again, and slowly got up with the help of the palace servants.

How could Concubine Qin let go of such a heart-piercing opportunity, she said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for so long, Concubine Meng is much thinner and more haggard. The young and tender beauties in this harem are one after another, and Concubine Meng should also take good care of her. Yes. You can't see the emperor with this sickness."

Concubine Su smiled and said: "Concubine Meng spends all day in the palace recuperating from illness. I'm afraid she still doesn't know the good news in the palace! Wang Meiren is pregnant and has already been sealed as Jieyu. After a few months, there will be another in the palace. Happy Timing."

   One by one, with bad intentions, want to see her jokes.

   Concubine Meng suppressed the anger that was surging in her heart and replied softly, "I am also happy to hear such a happy event."

   This kind of stuffiness can only be endured.

   Concubine Qin Su Fei looked at Concubine Meng's expression of swallowing her anger, and her heart was very happy.

   Queen Qiao felt a little jealous.

   How arrogant and domineering Concubine Meng used to be, now she seems to have changed her personality. The more so, the more you have to be wary.

   After everyone said goodbye, they retired one by one. Queen Qiao deliberately left Concubine Meng behind, and said lightly, "Prince Concubine is waiting for you in the side hall. If you have anything to say, go and tell Concubine Meng in person!"

   Forbearance is a knife in my heart.

   Concubine Meng replied in a low voice, got up and went to the side hall.

  Lu Mingyu stood in the hall, looking at Concubine Meng coldly, without saying a word.

Concubine Meng endured the humiliation and anger, and saluted and apologized: "I made a mistake and made a mistake that day. These days, I have been closing the palace to recuperate and self-examination. In the future, I will never dare to be malicious again, please Crown Princess Forgive me this time."

   Then, he made a poisonous oath: "The words I said today are all from the bottom of my heart. If I violate the oath, I will be slashed by thousands of swords, and I will not die."

  Lu Mingyu's cold voice entered Concubine Meng's ears: "I don't believe a word of your poisonous oath."

   Concubine Meng: "..."

   Concubine Meng raised her head suddenly, her eyes full of anger.

  Lu Mingyu's eyes were like sharp swords, piercing into Concubine Meng's eyes: "You are pretending to show your father. I am here today to hear your apology, and it is also for your father."

   "I know exactly what you are thinking. You must know what I am thinking."

   "If you want to live a few more years, you should stay peacefully in your Yanxi Palace. Otherwise, there will be a day when you regret the original."

   Concubine Meng was imprisoned for more than half a year, and her stamina has greatly improved.

  Lu Mingyu's heart-wrenching remarks were heard, and the sparks in Concubine Meng's eyes were about to spurt out, but she resisted the explosion on the spot, and forced out a sentence: "I sincerely regret it, and I didn't pretend."

  Lu Mingyu twitched the corners of his mouth: "Haha!"

   I don’t believe a single word of it.

   Concubine Meng's face was almost contorted, she swallowed all the sullen breath bitterly, and forced herself to say a few words before leaving.

   After returning to Yanxi Palace, Concubine Meng was furious and smashed most of the things in the bedroom. He was losing his temper when suddenly there was a sharp pain in his chest, his eyes darkened and he passed out.

  …

  Emperor Yongjia frowned and stepped into the Yanxi Palace.

  The Zhou Yuan envoy diagnosed Meng Fei's pulse and administered acupuncture, and then poured decoction. After being busy for half a day, Concubine Meng woke up leisurely. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Emperor Yongjia sitting beside the bed.

   Before Concubine Meng could cry, Emperor Yongjia said with a sullen face: "I told the Empress to ask you to come out of the palace to meet people, and the Empress will answer without a word."

   "In order to take care of your face, I only asked you to accompany Mr. Lu in private, why are you so angry?"

   It was not to comfort her, but to accuse her of losing her temper!

  Emperor Yongjia's heart no longer favors her like before.

   Concubine Meng felt a fire in her heart, endured her anger, and admitted her mistake in a low voice: "The emperor said yes. It's because the concubine's heart is too narrow."

   "Your heart is indeed too narrow." Emperor Yongjia's voice was cold and ruthless: "Today you and Lu's changed positions, are you willing to easily let go of a person who assassinated you?"

   "Mr. Lu is angry and speaks harshly, just listen to you. You are good, but when you go back to the bedroom, you lose your temper, and you are so angry that you are unconscious, which has disturbed the palace."

   "I just want to smooth things out for you, but I can't hide it. You are so ignorant, where should I put my face?"

   Concubine Meng: "..."

   Concubine Meng was so angry that she shivered.

   She has been alone for 20 years, how could she have ever heard such sarcastic remarks!

   It is one thing to know that you are gradually falling out of favor. When you truly face this moment, the coolness and grief and anger in your heart hit like a tide.

  Emperor Yongjia fixedly looked at Concubine Meng, and said solemnly, "If you still have such a temper, just stay in the Yanxi Palace and stop going out to meet people."

   Concubine Meng was startled, and she felt a sense of grief and anger. She immediately put it aside, and continued to bow her head to admit her mistake: "The concubine knows it's wrong. Please the emperor calm down!"
