The Empress Behind the Veil
Chapter 578 He Really Already Understood?
Oi! I am an article!
As the beautiful jade fell, Ji Xingyun seemed to be able to hear her heart beating as a shattering sound rang out.
This woman had already cut ties with him, why was her heart turbulent?
Oi! I am an article!
It was something that the woman once thought was like her stuff. Back then this woman swore as long as her jade was still around, meaning she was still alive. If the jade was destroyed, he was dead.
Now...has he really understood?
Beside Qingyang Palace, some beautiful women in beautiful clothes were at the side of the fence and admiring the chrysanthemum flowers.
At this moment, the well-behaved little palace maid was bringing them some sweet treats arranged beautifully. After that, they retreated to the back of their masters, massaging their shoulders and legs to make the women look very relished.

“Sister Cousin, you know? You will experience a great happy event.” Consort Chen said in a soft and contrived tone, so soft as the flapping of butterfly wings, it sounded so soft to Zhao Xueyan's ears.
Zhao Xueyan leaned lightly on the side of the fence and allowed her servant Xiao Gong to massage her temple. At the same time, he reached out his slender hand and looked at his newly trimmed nails from with a smug face, “Why can?”
During this half year, Empress Qin continued to live in the Cold Palace. Although the honorable and grand empress title was always used on her, no one knew that it was just a display. But the rules in the palace still exist. As long as her title was not removed, then she was the supreme empress.
Now, if he leaves the palace, maybe this title will be lost. Once the empress' position was vacant, there might be someone who would immediately replace her. And the only person who was competent for that high position, was probably only the person that the Emperor loved – Zhao Xueyan.
For some time now, the Emperor had long had the desire to make her a concubine. But Zhao Xueyan continued to refuse. First, she was afraid that Empress Qin would be heartbroken. Second, he was afraid that the world would criticize the rash behavior of the emperor. After all, she is a widow. Despite following the emperor with her body, it was indeed a flaw to make such a woman an emperor's concubine. This is clearly unacceptable to the world.
Perhaps in the eyes of an outsider, she was truly considered an innocent and kind-hearted woman. But only Consort Zhen and Consort Chang knew how cunning and clever this woman was making plans.
Right, what she wanted was not just to be a concubine. All he wanted was the position of the first lady.
He pretended to be meek, deliberately making the appearance of his best friend Qin Ruchen being crushed by Ji Xingyun, aborting the dragon fetus, then making it into the Cold Palace. Then he used various means to reject whatever the emperor had gifted him. Until one day, he wanted to tell the emperor the difference between himself and Qin Ruchen. When that happened, the Emperor would definitely be willing to grant the highest position of all the emperor's concubines.
Zhao Xueyan was playing chess, a chess game that she was running very well.
Today, finally this chess game is coming to an end.
“Iya, I've heard it too. The Empress wanted to leave the palace, even the Queen Mother strongly agreed. The Emperor also seemed to have the same thought.”Consort Chang's beautiful eyes twinkled, immediately following in mockery. The next instant, he looked at Zhao Xueyan with great flattery. He knew that this woman in the future would be his biggest supporter.
