The Empress Behind the Veil
Chapter 564 Getting a Way To Evade
Oi! I am an article!
“Queen Qin, you don't expect to quibble.”
Ji Xingyun rose up angrily, her tall and burly figure looked unshakable like a God.
Oi! I am an article!
Ye Wushuang was still so calm and faced him with a cold and indifferent attitude.
“I don't quibble, his words are completely out of tune. First of all, the maid said that she had been lying on the bed since returning from Lixiang Pavilion, but her shoes embroidered with beads were stained with mud and wet as well. That meant he was supposed to be walking in the park earlier, how could he possibly lie in bed all day? I remember, on the way home from Lixiang Pavilion, he came home sitting on a stretcher, let alone mud, even dust was definitely not there.”
After those words were spoken, everyone looked towards the embroidered shoes of Consort Zhen who was under the bed, sure enough that there was not only wet mud on the shoes, either, but there are still some water droplet stains.
Other people might not know, but the servants of Qing Palace who instantly understood, Consort Zhen was indeed in the back garden to water the flowers and plants, and, Concubine Zhen immediately lay on the bed when he heard the Emperor coming.
Oi! I am an article!
“I...” Instantly Concubine Zhen slightly did not know what to say, that pair of beautiful eyes could only stare fixedly at someone, but really could not say a word.
“Concubine Zhen, what did she say was true?” There was a look of disbelief on Ji Xingyun's handsome face as she looked at Concubine Zhen lying on the bed, Consort Zhen's face flushed red, her eyes panicked, if truly seen, Concubine Zhen did not look like a sick person, instead looking like a thieving woman caught off guard with her stolen goods.
Yes, Ji Xingyun was hard to believe that this usually obedient and gentle Concubine Zhen would do things to trap others.
At this moment, Consort Zhen secretly cursed the cunning and cleverness of Ye Wushuang in his heart, but he did not dare to speak more, either, since he was afraid that if he was not careful then the other party would hold onto his weakness, it would not be worth it. So at that time Consort Zhen could only pretend to be stupid and say: “Haiya, Emperor, my head is very sick, it hurts so much..” After finishing saying so, I'm sure you're not going to be happy, Concubine Zhen slightly closed her eyes then shook her head deliberately.
At this moment, the servant standing beside her immediately walked up to her and crouched down anxiously, gently massaging Consort Zhen's temple with both of her hands to alleviate her headache.
“Emperor, behold, Consort Zhen really had a headache.” The servant said as he carefully watched the look on the faces of those around him.
The Queen Mother looked at this scene sneering, being in a harem for decades, how could she not see all of this. At that time Ibu Suri said cynically: “Tadi is still fine, why do you feel dizzy at the critical moment?”
“The fragrance used by Consort Zhen is too heavy, this fragrance is produced from sunflower powder, although this sunflower scent is fragrant but not good if used too much. Applying on the body throughout the day is also not good, if worn for long it will make the chest feel tight and also headaches, especially in a room that has no ventilation. In this kind of situation, Consort Zhen's mental pressure was too great, it was normal to experience headaches and shortness of breath for a while.”
Ye Wushuang spoke flatly, her glass-clear eyes had a touch of calmness and harmony that was hard to express.
After hearing this remark, some servants immediately opened the windows and curtains, the gentle breeze that blew in made others feel relaxed, the panic and pressure instantly disappeared.
