Chapter 442 The Disliked Empress 7
Chapter 442 The Disliked Empress 7
The master and his two servants were having a great time when Xueyue suddenly screamed, which scared Yuyan. She looked at Xueyue with a frown.
I saw Xueyue shaking and looking at the wall with a look of horror.
Yuyan and Yiyun followed her gaze and were also startled by the scene at the wall not far away.
Suddenly, many snakes appeared at the corner of Changchun Palace. Each one was about one meter long with a pointed head. They were obviously poisonous snakes.
Those poisonous snakes swam towards Yuyan quickly with their tongues sticking out.
Before Yuyan and the others could scream, they saw Xiaobai in Yuyan's arms fly over, showing his sharp claws and scratching at the poisonous snakes.
With a few claws, dozens of poisonous snakes were quickly killed.
After killing the poisonous snake, Xiaobai walked towards Yuyan gracefully on the grass.
Even when it walked to Yuyan's feet, it did not forget to wipe the poisonous snake blood on its claws on Xueyue's skirt, and then it jumped up and jumped into Yuyan's arms again.
Xueyue was stunned. She looked at the pile of dead poisonous snakes in the corner, then at the blood stains on her skirt. Finally, her gaze fell on Xiaobai, who looked well-behaved and cute. She shivered involuntarily.
But Xueyue was not afraid of Xiaobai. She felt that Xiaobai was very smart and knew how to be loyal and protect his master, which was better than some people. She even made a lot of delicious food for Xiaobai as a reward that day.
There were so many poisonous snakes appearing in the Queen's palace for no apparent reason, which was obviously very strange. But it was because the Queen was out of favor. Even though Yiyun specifically informed the leader of the imperial city guards about this matter, they did not take it seriously.
In the following days, other concubines were injured or suffered miscarriages due to the sudden appearance of snakes in the palace, and some even died from poisoning.
Mu Beiqing then took the matter seriously, but after several days of investigation, he did not find out anything useful.
What's more, the weather is getting warmer now, so it is normal for snakes and insects to appear. We can only sprinkle sulfur powder in each palace to take extra precautions.
In the end, the matter was left unresolved.
At that time, the newly appointed Imperial Noble Consort Chu Xingyue had just been coaxed by Mu Beiqing, and the two had not had time to spend a few days together.
The concubines in the harem who had not conceived any heir to the throne started to act up again. In order to seduce Mu Beiqing, they used all sorts of tricks.
While she was suffering from the pain of being pregnant, he was always spending the night with his concubines, under the tenderness and tears of the concubines.
Then the conflict between the two was intensified again.
After the two had a big fight, Chu Xingyue directly drove Mu Beiqing out, and then closed the palace gates, refusing Mu Beiqing to enter her palace again.
Mu Beichen is the king of a country after all, and he is also a male chauvinist. Although he likes Chu Xingyue, the dignity of the emperor cannot be trampled upon at will.
Now that Chu Xingyue had humiliated him and treated him coldly so many times, he became angry and just walked away with a gloomy face and swung his sleeves.
Chu Xingyue thought that Mu Beiqing would coax her in a humble manner as before, but she didn't expect Mu Beiqing to just turn around and leave.
After that, he would linger with the concubines every night, and even selected several new women from official families to enter the palace to accompany him, and began to revel every night.
Such behavior made Chu Xingyue even more sad, and she cried all day long.
However, she had a strong sense of self-esteem, and even though she was heartbroken, she insisted on remaining stern with Mu Beiqing.
Mu Beiqing and Chu Xingyue have been having a quarrel recently. There have been sounds of music and dance in the palace all day long, while he has been having fun every night.
Yuyan, who was far away in Changchun Palace, went to bed early to rest because she was feeling unwell due to her menstrual period.
The night was as cool as water, and the cold moonlight poured in from the window. The white cat that Yuyan had been holding in her arms suddenly turned into a beautiful young man in a white brocade robe the next second.
He has a head of silver hair like a waterfall and a face as white as jade. Although there is still a hint of childishness on his face, it cannot hide his enchanting and beautiful appearance.
At this moment, he looked at the sleeping Yuyan with attachment. He raised his hand and couldn't help wanting to touch her face, but he was afraid of disturbing her, so he stood by her side very obediently, staring at her infatuatedly.
It was not until the sky gradually turned white that he turned back into the state of a white cat, then he crawled into Yuyan's arms, snuggled up to her and fell asleep.
The next afternoon, Yuyan was playing with Xiaobai with a flower in her palace, and then she saw Mu Beichen walking straight into Changchun Palace.
Mu Beichen looked at Yuyan, who was playing with the cat leisurely, and smiled gently.
"Yanyan, are you okay these days?"
Yuyan glanced at him, silently held Xiaobai in her arms, and said to him with a cold face.
"Prince Chen is here to pay his respects to the Queen Mother? Then I won't delay Prince Chen."
"Xiao Yan, I just came out of my mother's palace, and I heard from my mother, thank you for curing Beixing."
"You're welcome. It's just a deal."
"Xiao Yan..." Seeing Yu Yan's aloof look, Mu Beichen couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
He knew she was still angry, but he couldn't make any promises to her right now. No matter how much he said, it would just be empty talk. Not only was it insincere, but it would also be disadvantageous to her.
Although she is no longer favored, at least her life is safe, and he cannot let her get hurt or sad because of him again.
"Yanyan, take care of yourself. I'm leaving."
Just wait a little longer, soon, very soon they will be together again.
Thinking of this, Mu Beichen turned around and left with great pain.
Yuyan looked calm and ignored him completely, just continuing to tease the white cat in her arms.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Mu Beichen left, Li, the steward beside Mu Beiqing, came over with a large group of eunuchs.
Li Defu walked into Changchun Palace in an arrogant manner, and after perfunctorily paying his respects to Yuyan, he directly ordered his men to arrest Xueyue.
Without waiting for Yuyan to question him, he looked at her with a forced smile and said.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor wants you to go to Zhongcui Palace."
It is true that like master, like servant. Both the master and servant do not take her, the queen, seriously at all.
It’s enough for me to tolerate Mu Beiqing. Now, do I have to endure the anger of a slave like you? You’re dreaming.
Yuyan lifted the hem of her skirt and walked towards Li Defu very gracefully, then kicked him to the ground and scolded him angrily.
"How can you be so presumptuous in front of me? A slave must behave like a slave, so that he can live longer."
After saying this, he directed his sharp eyes towards the two young eunuchs who were holding Xueyue.
The two young eunuchs were frightened by her eyes and aura. They loosened their hands, and Xueyue broke free and stood beside Yuyan with Yiyun.
At this time, Li Defu sat on the ground, holding his stomach, looking at Yuyan with a bad look and saying harsh words.
"Your Highness, I remind you not to be too arrogant. After all, I don't know if you can keep your position as queen in the near future."
Yuyan didn't even bother to look at him. She gave her two maids a soothing look, then glanced down at Li Defu and said with a noble and cold look on her face.
"Let's go!"
After saying that, he took Yiyun and Xueyue and walked towards Zhongcui Palace first.
