Yuqiongyin

Xie Chenning was sitting upright on the Phoenix Throne, his expression indifferent, exuding an innate majesty.

At this time, the familiar lazy voice came from far away. Before I saw the person, I could already hear her voice in the hall.

"The Queen is so majestic~"

The late imperial concubine Lu Daixi swayed into the palace.

"Your Majesty, the imperial concubine has been very favored recently. I'm afraid she will cause trouble." Nanny Lu beside her couldn't help but speak worriedly when she saw this.

"Nothing, the emperor can't do anything to me."

Xie Chenning raised his chin slightly, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Xie Chenning has a clear understanding of the current situation.

She is the queen and has the support of the Xie family. It is not difficult for her to punish a concubine who cannot help Wei Ming consolidate his throne.

The Lu family has not really stood on Wei Ming's side yet. Even though Imperial Concubine Lu Daixi has the Phoenix Seal and the Emperor's favor, Prime Minister Lu still has not given in.

Does Wei Ming really like Concubine Lu Daixi? The answer is obvious.

All he wanted was to use the power of the Lu family to consolidate his throne.

After Xie Chenning came here, his task was to sort out all of the emperor's background and relationships. The original owner had done a lot of research on the emperor and had very comprehensive information on all aspects.

The favored imperial concubine Lu Daixi is the only daughter of the prime minister Lu Huai. Wei Ming uses various means to trick Lu Daixi into his hands.

At that time, Lu Huai did not think highly of Wei Ming, the cowardly emperor, but since his daughter devoted her heart to him, he had no choice but to send her into the palace with great reluctance.

Since entering the palace, Lu Daixi has relied on Wei Ming's favor and has been arrogant and domineering. She feels that she is invincible in the harem, especially during the time when Wei Ming doted on her.

However, she didn't know that she was just a chess piece in Wei Ming's hands.

Wei Ming had been pretending to be affectionate for a year and a half, but Lu Huai remained unmoved, so Wei Ming could only swallow his anger.

Now Lu Daixi deliberately provoked Xie Chenning, and his words were full of arrogance.

Xie Chenning, who was in a high position, was unmoved. He just looked at her calmly, with a hint of majesty in his eyes.

Seeing that the queen did not accept the challenge, Lu Daixi became even more angry. Just as he was about to say a few more words to stab her, he was interrupted by Xie Chenning.

"In the harem, harmony is the most important thing. Imperial Concubine, you are so arrogant and domineering. I will slap you ten times today. If you do it again in the future, I will not let you off easily."

Xie Chenning's tone was cold and merciless.

Lu Daixi was intimidated by Xie Chenning's momentum and did not dare to refute for a moment.

"Pah-pah-pah-!"

Before she could come to her senses, she was slapped ten times by Nanny Lu, and the pain on her cheeks made her cry.

The concubines were all surprised. They didn't expect that the Queen would dare to punish the Imperial Concubine. It seemed that she didn't take the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine seriously at all.

The greetings were soon over, and Xie Chenning also wanted to take a walk in the Imperial Garden. The concubines all avoided her, fearing that they would anger the Queen and get slapped.

Looking at Xie Chenning's receding back, Lu Daixi covered his face with his hands, gnashing his teeth in anger, his eyes full of resentment.

"How dare the Queen humiliate me like this? I cannot stand this. Let's go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity! I want the Emperor to make the decision for me!"

Outside the Qianqing Palace, Manager Chen saw the person coming from afar. Judging from her attire, she looked like the Imperial Concubine, but it was really hard to recognize who she was.

It was not until Lu Daixi came closer and her figure gradually became clearer that Chen Zongguan barely recognized her and immediately bowed respectfully, "Your servant greets the Imperial Concubine."

Lu Daixi covered her face with her hands, tears welling up in her eyes, looking very aggrieved and resentful.

Her voice was filled with tears, and she choked with sobs as she said, "Manager Chen, please tell the emperor that I want to see him!"

Butler Chen thought she looked like she had suffered some great injustice, however, he was well aware of the rules and etiquette of the palace and did not dare to make a decision on his own.

He hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to go in and report to the emperor. After all, the imperial concubine was currently enjoying the emperor's favor.

After a while, Lu Daixi finally got the chance to meet the emperor. She walked into the palace, her steps light but anxious.

Wei Ming was sitting on the dragon throne, concentrating on handling government affairs. When he heard footsteps, he looked up and saw Lu Daixi holding up her skirt and kneeling down beside his legs without caring about etiquette.

Lu Daixi slowly raised her head, her beautiful eyes filled with crystal clear tears, trembling slightly, and her soft and moving voice was filled with endless sorrow and grievance.

"Your Majesty! Please help me! The Queen has really gone too far!" The voice was as melodious as a yellow oriole flying out of a valley, and as mournful as the cry of a cuckoo, which made people feel pity.

As she spoke, Lu Daixi's sobbing tears slid down her originally fair and tender cheeks, and she must have looked so pitiful.

But now her cheeks were red.

Wei Ming was already feeling irritated and uneasy because of the affairs of the previous dynasty, and now hearing Lu Daixi's crying made him even more upset.

Wei Ming frowned, an impatient look on his face, and all he wanted was to end this trouble quickly.

He originally planned to comfort her casually with a few words, but when Wei Ming saw that Lu Daixi's face was swollen and there were several red slap marks, his outstretched hand stopped in the air, not knowing how to face such a face.

Lu Daixi knelt on the ground, crying her eyes out, her hair was a little messy, and her makeup was smudged by her tears. She didn't look pitiful at all.

"What's going on? Was this done by the Queen?!"

Wei Ming asked with a frown, the queen seemed to have really become different from before.

Hearing Wei Ming's question, Lu Daixi cried even harder. She clutched her collar tightly, as if she was suffocating, and cried with a choked voice.

"Your Majesty, I was only a little late, but the Queen and Her Majesty dared to punish me in public! She doesn't even take Your Majesty seriously!"

Wei Ming frowned slightly, thinking of what Xie Chenning had done a few days ago, Wei Ming was indeed a little scared. Xie Chenning was usually dignified and generous, but the aura he had that day was chilling.

He still remembered the sharpness in Xie Chenning's eyes that day, which seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts.

Wei Ming sighed lightly and said some polite words to comfort Lu Daixi: "Don't be sad, my dear concubine. The Queen may have her own considerations in doing this. I will definitely talk to her and let her act more prudently in the future."

After hearing the emperor's consolation, Lu Daixi felt unwilling in his heart, but he did not dare to say anything in front of the emperor.

She knew that although the emperor doted on her and gave her the Phoenix Seal, in the harem, Xie Chenning had the Xie family behind her, and her position as queen was ultimately unshakable.

Lu Daixi bit her lip, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes. She was unwilling to be punished by the Queen like this, and she must find an opportunity to take revenge.

*

When Lu Daixi stepped into the cold and gloomy courtyard of the cold palace, the demoted Concubine Li was curled up in the corner, her face looking very haggard.

"Princess Li, how are you doing?"

Lu Daixi's voice was sharp and piercing, and Li Bin looked up at her in a daze.

"You came to see me laugh?"

"That's not..."
