The Empress Behind the Veil
Chapter 964



Finally Emperor Qi thought about it, clenched his thin lips, looked forward flatly and said: “Let him enter.”


Oi! I am an article!


“Good!” The eunuch received the order and immediately went to deliver it, lest the Emperor change his mind again and get himself caught in the middle.


A while later, Her Majesty Consort Zhao who looked a little haggard walked inside with slow steps.


Oi! I am an article!


Emperor Qi saw her who stepped in slowly and walked straight towards her, she was still beautiful but no longer as excited as she once was.


At this moment, Zhao Xueyan slightly bowed towards Jixingyun and said with a fixed eye gaze: “I salute the Emperor.”


Ji Xingyun flatly read the document in her hand then replied without changing her expression: “Wake up.”


For the first time, Emperor Qi treated himself so coldly, Zhao Xueyan could not help her misty gaze, her day feeling extremely uneasy.


Oi! I am an article!


“His Majesty's concubine, what business is there coming here so early?”


Emperor Qi asked in a cold voice, the two of them were here, but the Emperor instead did not call out his name directly, making Zhao Xueyan suddenly feel that this man before her was very foreign and distant.


Just then as Zhao Xueyan kneeled on the floor, her knees clashing violently on the floor, a little bit much could attract the attention of Emperor Qi.


Emperor Qi raised his head, his eyes glued, his face slightly changed and he said: “What are you doing?”


Emperor Qi turned his head indifferently, reviewed the cold laughter and said: “What's your mistake?”


His Majesty Consort Zhao sobbed as he said: “I did not watch Concubine Chang well, letting him do such an immoral thing, Please Emperor forgive me.”


“I've already made a decision regarding Consort Chang's matter, you don't need to worry about it.”


Zhao Xueyan bit her lips, looked at the cold expression of Emperor Qi and still said pleading: “Emperor, Consort Chang just acted recklessly for a moment, please Emperor be merciful to her.”


“I've given him a chance, but he doesn't appreciate it. And again the one I hate the most is lies.”


“Is the Emperor really not compassionate? Did the Emperor have to expel Consort Chang to Zhihua Palace?” Zhao Xueyan's heart dripped blood as she asked this question. What made him sad was not that the Emperor had driven Consort Chang to the cold Palace, but that he was saddened that the Emperor was now no longer moved by him.


“Are you saying that I am cruel?” Emperor Qi turned his head, his eyes cold.


Zhao Xueyan bowed with a hint of fear: “I dare not, it's just that I feel the Emperor has changed.” Ever since Ye Wushuang entered the Palace, the Emperor had not only ignored her, but had also treated Consort Chang and Consort Zhen so cruelly. This made Zhao Xueyan feel her whole world had changed.


“You said I changed?” Emperor Qi got up, looking at the beautiful woman kneeling on the floor with an angry look on her face. Emperor Qi was not willing to let Zhao Xueyan suffer in the slightest, and because of her tolerance towards Zhao Xueyan it made Zhao Xueyan even more careless.


Emperor Qi said coldly: “Then what about you? What are you doing behind my back?”


Zhao Xueyan raised her head in surprise, her eyes filled with tears, she then said in confusion: “Emperor, I don't understand what you're talking about?”


“Do you really think I'm stupid? If it wasn't for me protecting you, do you think Consort Zhen and Consort Chang could be safe to this day? But my patience also has its limits, I've reminded you from the beginning, asking you not to act on Wushuang, but you guys really consider my words to be the wind then. You can fall into this situation, it's all because of your own mistakes.


Emperor Qi finally said what was in his heart, Zhao Xueyan looked at this noble and honorable man with tears and disappointment, Zhao Xueyan said with a sob: “Emperor, I admit that everything Consort Zhen and Consort Chang did was indeed under my instructions. But did the Emperor ever think why I did this? At first, you said that I am the person you have loved the most in your entire life, you also want me to occupy the Queen's throne, but ever since that woman who was exactly like Queen Qin entered the palace, you also wanted me to occupy the Queen's throne, you really have changed.”
