Story of Yanxi Palace: Fu Ying's banner will never fall

Chapter 196 Nobuko and Suiko

Concubine Chun knew that Mingyu had a quick temper, so she deliberately delayed time to make her lose her patience.

If she really couldn't bear it, then I could justifiably execute her on the charge of "rebellion", and even the queen wouldn't be able to say anything.

Although she couldn't deal with Wei Yingluo directly, Concubine Chun would feel very happy if she could get rid of the people in Changchun Palace.

Mingyu smiled slightly, showing no fear at all, and said calmly: "Oh, Concubine Chun, you don't have to rush to deal with me. Please take a look at what I have in my hand first."

As she spoke, she took out an exquisite tassel from her sleeve, held it high and showed it to Concubine Chun.

The appearance of the tassel was truly amazing. It was exactly the same as the one that Concubine Chun had once given to Fu Heng. Although it was old, it looked newer in comparison.

But if you don't look carefully, you won't be able to find it.

The moment Concubine Chun saw the spike, her eyes widened and her face was full of disbelief.

She shouted to Mingyu excitedly, "This is impossible! This is definitely not the ear of corn I gave away!"

Concubine Chun was secretly surprised: the tassel of corn that she had given away had already been returned to her by Fu Cha Fu Heng.

Then, he ruthlessly set a fire, burning it completely without leaving any trace.

At this extremely tense moment, Mingyu suddenly heard a soft bird call coming from outside the window.

She instantly realized that she should add more fuel to the fire and make the situation develop in a direction that is favorable to her plan.

So Mingyu raised her voice and said loudly: "Empress Chun, the Empress is aware of your love for Guard Fucha.

However, the Empress did not tell the Emperor and the Empress Dowager about this because of the deep affection she had for you in the past.

Now I am just sending a servant like me to warn you. Please don't get angry out of shame!"

"You bold and lowly slave, don't accuse me so casually. I have never seen this tassel of corn before!" Concubine Chun rushed down from the desk, grabbed the tassel of corn in Mingyu's hand, and pretended to snatch it away.

"Empress Chun, if not, then why did you want to snatch it?" Mingyu smiled faintly.

Concubine Chun blinked her eyes, looking very guilty, "I was just afraid that you would frame me."

"Empress Chun, your name was not written on the stalk. You can deny it, but the letter expressing your feelings for Guard Fucha was written by you personally..." Mingyu continued, her tone neither humble nor arrogant.

Concubine Chun was stunned as if struck by lightning. Her face turned pale. She shook her head frantically and muttered to herself, "Impossible, this is impossible. How could the letter still be there?"

"Yuhu! Did you destroy the letter?" Concubine Chun grabbed Yuhu's arm tightly. The silver needle in Yuhu's arm pierced deeper and she was unable to speak due to the pain.

Concubine Chun's voice was trembling and fearful. She widened her eyes and looked at Mingyu in disbelief.

Concubine Chun's eyes became flustered, her lips trembled slightly, but she couldn't utter a word.

She knew in her heart what kind of consequences she would face if the letter was exposed. Her reputation and status would be greatly affected.

Mingyu looked at the change in Concubine Chun's expression and knew that she had taken the initiative. Moreover...

She emphasized again: "Empress Chun, do you have anything else to say now?"

Concubine Chun's face became paler and paler, and her body began to tremble, as if she had lost all her strength and fell into despair and fear.

She weakly let go of Yuhu's arm, and Yuhu groaned in pain, covering his injured arm.

Concubine Chun gnashed her teeth as she stared at Yu Hu, who was kneeling on the ground, her eyes filled with anger and dissatisfaction. "Stupid, speak up!"

She kicked Yu Hu hard, hoping to get a satisfactory answer from her.

However, Yu Hu did not respond, but just endured it all silently.

Concubine Chun became more and more impatient. She grabbed Yuhu's hand tightly and tried to make her speak. Yuhu felt a pain, but still insisted on keeping silent.

Finally, Yu Hu struggled to break free from Concubine Chun's hand, and lay on the ground, gritting his teeth and saying, "This slave has already been ruined!"

She knew very well that if she told the truth, the consequences would be disastrous, and she would rather endure the pain than face a more terrible punishment.

After all, she hid the letter so well that no one could possibly find it.

After hearing this, Concubine Chun was so angry that she trembled all over. She widened her eyes and stared at Yuhu viciously, wishing she could eat her alive.

But he decided to deal with Mingyu first.

"Well, Mingyu, you cunning slave, are you trying to play a trick on me?"

She turned her head viciously, ready to scold Mingyu.

But the moment she turned her head, she was surprised to see Emperor Qianlong standing at the door with an angry face.

Concubine Chun's face turned pale in an instant. She looked at the emperor in horror, her body trembling slightly.

She immediately realized that her actions might have been witnessed by the emperor, and panic and anxiety surged in her heart.

Concubine Chun quickly adjusted her expression, and the ruthlessness on her face instantly disappeared, replaced by a gentle and peaceful smile.

She said softly, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Why are you here? You didn't even let anyone know."

Her tone was gentle and kind, as if nothing that had just happened had happened.

The emperor put away the fan in his hand, and his eyes revealed a hint of mockery and disappointment.

He laughed coldly and said, "Oh, if I had let someone know, I wouldn't have been able to see that wonderful show just now."

There was obvious sarcasm in his voice, which made Concubine Chun feel a chill in her heart.

"I pay my respects to Concubine Chun. I originally met the emperor in the imperial garden. Thinking of your hardship during pregnancy, I came to visit you."

Nalan Chunxue laughed and covered her mouth with the handkerchief in her hand, "I didn't expect that I knew something that I shouldn't know. Please forgive me, Concubine Chun."

Concubine Chun's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and the colors changed like a palette.

She secretly regretted that she was so careless and let this bitch frame her. But she quickly calmed down and thought about how to deal with the situation.

She wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said calmly, "You are talking nonsense! I don't know anything about Xin and Suizi! You must be deliberately framing me!"

But Mingyu ignored Concubine Chun and handed the tassel in her hand to the emperor.

The emperor played with the tassel carefully and sneered in his heart.
