Chapter 251 Qin Le'an Regrets It
"Your Majesty," Consort Xian pointed to Donglian kneeling on the ground, "what should be done with her?"
Gao Xian reached out and pressed his throbbing temples. "You decide what to do."
After saying that, he got up and left.
This harem is truly disgusting.
His sunflower was the only clean one.
"Your Majesty, I respectfully see you off." Consort Xian bowed, followed by the other concubines.
Gao Xian's tall and slender figure slowly disappeared amidst the crowd's respectful farewells.
Hanzhang Hall.
Consort Xian leaned back on the soft couch, a slight smile playing on her lips. "You handled this matter very well."
Donglian knelt below, head bowed, her tone respectful.
"It's all thanks to Your Highness's excellent planning. I was just following your instructions."
She came from a humble background, had many siblings, and always lived a meager existence.
But now, the family is declining day by day, the younger brother is seriously ill, the mother is old, and the older brother is embroiled in lawsuits.
She had vaguely mentioned this to Qin Le'an.
However, she immediately reprimanded her, telling her not to talk about such trivial matters and what they had to do with her.
Donglian felt despair.
Just then, Consort Xian approached her...
It was because Consort Xian promised to help her solve these problems that Donglian hardened her heart and betrayed Qin Le'an.
Consort Xian held her teacup, took a small sip, and said calmly, "I have always used both kindness and severity. Since you have served me loyally, I will naturally not treat you unfairly."
She waved her hand, and the palace maid beside her immediately presented one hundred taels of silver to Donglian.
Donglian immediately bowed and kowtowed, "This servant thanks Your Highness for the reward. I will do my best to serve Your Highness in the future."
Consort Xian nodded in satisfaction. "With this money, you no longer need to worry about your family's affairs."
She said slowly, "Alright, remember what I said, go back now."
Donglian bowed her head and withdrew.
Watching her departing figure, Consort Xian smiled coldly, her eyes filled with contempt.
"Foolish master, you only raise foolish servants. Neither of them is smart."
She placed the teacup on the table, her tone indifferent yet chilling.
"There's no use keeping this person around. Let's get rid of him and not leave any loose ends."
Su Yun lowered her head and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Consort Xian leaned against the soft couch and casually curled her lips.
The trap was already in place from the moment they helped lift Qin Le'an's confinement.
Mo Qingkui, Qin Le'an... she wouldn't let any of the favored women go.
Was Qin Le'an really so stupid as to think that she wanted to join forces with her?
Ah.
The imperial palace, the cold palace.
Two tall guards escorted Qin Le'an from Donghua Gate all the way to the Cold Palace.
She struggled as she walked, turning her head and shouting, "You can't treat me like this! I'm someone from the Emperor's side! I'm Consort Qin!"
The guards remained expressionless, ignoring her completely, and simply pushed her forward with all their might.
"I won't go to the Cold Palace! I want to see the Emperor! Let me go!" she shouted hoarsely.
The guard remained unmoved, and instead increased the force of his push, causing her to stumble.
They soon arrived at the entrance of the Cold Palace.
The two dilapidated doors creaked loudly, and a chill swept over us.
Qin Le'an was horrified when he saw the deep, dark scene, and his feet felt like they were made of lead, so he couldn't move.
The guard gave her no time to hesitate and pushed her hard.
She fell straight into it.
"boom--"
The heavy door closed behind her, shutting out all the light.
The eeriness of the Cold Palace sends chills down one's spine.
As soon as Qin Le'an stepped inside, he felt a bone-chilling cold creep up from the soles of his feet.
The walls were mottled, the curtains were moldy, and there were broken pieces of porcelain in the corner.
Unable to suppress her fear any longer, she suddenly grabbed the door frame and stared intently at the palace servants who were about to leave.
"Let me out!" she screamed.
She didn't do anything, so why was she sent to this place?
No one responded to her; the cold air, like an invisible hand, gripped her throat tightly.
Her knees buckled, and she collapsed to the ground, tears finally streaming down her face.
How could this harem be so vicious!
At the banquet before, someone gave her laxatives, causing her to have abdominal rumbling in public.
Now, he has been framed by Consort Xian and has been banished to the Cold Palace!
In her previous life, she married Xie Yanli, and there were never so many troubles in the inner quarters!
Although Lady Hou and Xie Wanning were both despicable women, they ultimately did not harm her.
At most, she'll just say a few sarcastic things to her.
It's completely different from the harem, where you never know when you might be killed or lose your life!
But she only realized it now...
Qin Le'an covered her face and wept, tears sliding down her fingers, and even her breathing became intermittent.
She regretted it! She really regretted it!
She doesn't want to go back to the palace! This harem is far too dangerous! Far too dangerous!
The Marquis's Residence, Qinglan Courtyard.
Xiaohe practically rushed into the main house.
Her face was full of panic as she ran to Qin Jiuwei's side.
For a moment, she forgot all about etiquette and blurted out, "Miss, something terrible has happened! The eldest young lady has been banished to the cold palace!"
Qin Jiuwei looked up abruptly upon hearing this, "What! Speak slowly, what happened?"
Xiaohe's hands were clasped together, her voice low and fast.
"I heard it was because the eldest young lady poisoned Consort Chen, and when it was discovered, it was Donglian, who was by her side, who reported it in public."
"The young lady said that it was Consort Xian who framed her, but no one believed her. They thought she was making a false accusation. The Emperor was furious and immediately ordered her to be banished to the Cold Palace."
Upon hearing the keywords "poisoning" and "Consort Xian," Qin Jiuwei's tightly furrowed brows instantly relaxed.
She knew what was going on.
This also happened in my previous life.
The difference is that in the previous life, the person framed by Consort Xian was Consort Li.
Both were reported by people close to them.
Xiaohe couldn't help but shudder. "The young lady has only been in the palace for less than two months. She went from being a lowly concubine to a noble lady, and then back to a lowly concubine. Now she's been banished to the Cold Palace. Her ups and downs are truly alarming."
Qin Jiu smiled slightly, said nothing, and took a small sip of tea.
In the harem, defense is far more important than offense.
Those who can hold their ground, remain steadfast, and avoid falling into others' traps have a greater chance of surviving to the end.
Blindly attacking and framing others carries enormous risks.
In the end, it is very likely that the attempt to steal a chicken will backfire, and the scheme will be exposed instead of being successful.
In her previous life, during her ten years in the imperial harem, she only set up three schemes, all of which were desperate counterattacks.
But defense isn't an easy task either.
To play a good defensive role, the most important thing is to manage the people around you.
When someone stabs you in the back, the damage is truly fatal.
Qin Le'an has a terrible temper; he beats and scolds those around him, showing no empathy or kindness.
How could anyone be willing to follow someone so loyally?
Being betrayed by those around you is only a matter of time.
A gentle breeze rustled through the gauze curtains outside the window, bringing a touch of coolness.
The Imperial Palace, Lingyan Pavilion.
Mo Qingkui, lying on the couch, slowly opened her eyes.
The palace maid who was guarding the bedside immediately raised her head, rushed forward, and exclaimed with delight, "Your Highness, you're awake!"
