Yuqiongyin

Wei Ming looked around the house in panic, trying to find a solution.

He looked at the beauty hiding behind him. The beauty's face was full of fear at this moment, and she obviously realized the seriousness of the matter.

Wei Ming took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that he had to respond calmly and not let Xie Chenpin see any flaws.

He winked at the eunuch, indicating that he should stop Xie Chenpin first and delay some time.

The eunuch understood and quickly retreated.

Wei Ming turned his head and looked at Xie Chenning.

At this moment, Xie Chenning still looked calm and composed, as if everything was under her control.

Wei Ming was secretly annoyed in his heart. This woman was always so calm that he couldn't figure out what she was thinking.

"Queen, please don't talk nonsense." Wei Ming said in a low voice, his eyes full of warning.

Xie Chenning raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a mocking smile, "Your Majesty, I know what to say and what not to say. I know the limits in my heart."

Wei Ming's heart tightened. He didn't know what Xie Chenning would do. He could only let her return to the palace and send someone to keep an eye on her.

Wei Ming stared at Xie Chenning and watched her leave.

The sunlight shone in from the window, and her bright and beautiful face looked particularly dazzling in the sunlight. Her fair skin was as delicate as snow, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and under her high nose bridge, her lips were slightly raised, revealing an imperceptible confidence and pride.

Her smile is bold and unrestrained, as gorgeous and dazzling as a blooming flower, which makes people fall in love with her.

Xie Chenning's beauty is not the kind of delicate and charming beauty, but a kind of majestic, confident and free and easy beauty.

Every movement and every word of hers exudes a unique charm that fascinates people.

Even the palace servants around her felt her powerful aura. They couldn't help but widen their eyes, as if they had seen the most beautiful scenery in the world.

Although there are many beauties in the harem, there are very few women with a unique temperament like Xie Chenning.

Her existence is like a shining pearl, emitting endless light.

The queen is still the same queen, but she seems like a different person.

In the imperial study, Wei Ming looked outside the door again, feeling extremely anxious.

As time passed, Wei Ming became more and more nervous.

Finally, the eunuch brought Xie Chenpin in.

Xie Chenpin was dressed in armor, looking heroic, with a sharp look in his eyes.

He strode into the hall, knelt on one knee and saluted Wei Ming.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report." Xie Chenpin's voice was loud and full of majesty.

Wei Ming pretended to be calm and nodded slightly, "Thank you, General. What do you want to report?"

Xie Chenpin stood up and spoke concisely and clearly without any hesitation.

"Your Majesty, the war on the border is urgent. I beg Your Majesty to send more troops to protect our Great Wei territory."

Wei Ming thought for a moment, then said, "General Xie is right. I will consider sending more troops."

Xie Chenpin frowned, "Your Majesty, the war cannot be delayed. Please make a decision as soon as possible."

Wei Ming was a little displeased, "Thank you, General. I will consider this matter myself."

Xie Chenpin was about to say something, but at this moment, Xie Chenning's voice came from outside the door, "Your Majesty, the safety of the border is of great importance. I hope Your Majesty will put state affairs first."

Wei Ming glanced at Xie Chenning and was secretly annoyed. This woman actually appeared at this time and spoke for Xie Chenpin.

But he couldn't get angry either, so he could only say, "I understand. I will make a decision as soon as possible."

Xie Chenpin looked at Wei Ming, then at Xie Chenning, and felt something was wrong.

But he did not ask any more questions, but bowed again and said, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave."

Wei Ming looked at Xie Chenpin's departing back, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

He turned his head and looked at Xie Chenning. At this moment, Xie Chenning still had that indifferent expression on her face, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking.

"Queen, you'd better not let Xie Chenpin know about what happened today. Otherwise, you should be aware of the consequences." Wei Ming's voice was full of threats.

Xie Chenning raised his chin slightly, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, "Your Majesty, I have never thought of letting Xie Chenpin know what happened in the palace. But Your Majesty should also understand that I am not someone who can be bullied. You need to give me an explanation for the dinner."

Wei Ming looked at Xie Chenning, feeling helpless. He knew that this woman would not easily compromise, but he could not let her ruin his plans.

"Queen, as long as you are obedient, I will not treat you unfairly." Wei Ming's tone softened a little.

Xie Chenning didn't say anything, but just looked at Wei Ming with a half-smile.

Wei Ming was still afraid, "Someone, bring Li Fei and that servant up here."

Concubine Li and the maid were brought in quickly. Both of them had pale faces, and it was unclear whether they were panicking or something else.

From the message from the eunuch, she understood what Wei Ming meant. He simply wanted her to take the initiative to admit that she was jealous and slandered the queen and give the queen an "explanation".

It doesn't matter who takes on the role of scapegoat; the key is to satisfy the queen.

As soon as she stepped into the imperial study, the servant behind Li Pin fell to her knees with a thud.

"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, I was mistaken. The Empress Dowager did not overthrow Concubine An before. It was all a misunderstanding. Please do not let this matter hurt your relationship!"

Li Concubine pretended to be surprised and looked at her servant. Her lips trembled slightly as she said, "So, did you also forge this handkerchief?"

The servant girl obviously did not expect Concubine Li to do this, and her face turned pale instantly.

She looked at Li Bin in horror, her eyes full of disbelief and fear. When she met Li Bin's fierce gaze, her heart suddenly sank.

Li Bin had said before that she would protect her in the palace, but now she realized that Li Bin was going to put all the blame on her.

However, she could not resist because she was not only Lipin's personal servant, but also Lipin's daughter.

The lives of her family members are in the hands of Concubine Li. If she disobeys, not only will she be punished, but her parents, siblings and entire family may also be implicated.

Therefore, even if Lipin asked her to go through fire and water, she had to do it, otherwise her whole family might...

"Dong, dong, dong!" Thinking of this, the servant kowtowed vigorously, "It is my fault that I made a mistake due to my poor eyesight. Please forgive me, Your Majesty and Your Majesty the Empress!"

She hit him too hard. When she looked at Xie Chenning, the blood on her forehead flowed down her face. Her eyes were full of tears. She looked so pitiful.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty! Please have mercy on me, Your Majesty!"

Xie Chenning, on the other hand, leisurely picked up the teacup, stirred the tea leaves with the tea lid, looking nonchalant.
