This news was like a bolt from the blue, exploding on the emperor's head. His face was extremely ugly, and he looked at Yun Luan. Yun Luan was not suppressed by his momentum at all, her face was calm, pretending to be ashamed He knelt on his knees and sighed: "Your Majesty, please calm down... I did not expect this to happen. I sent many people to search for Shen Congshan's body at the bottom of the cliff, but they could not find it..." "But..." Don't worry, Your Majesty, my people will not give up looking for Shen Congshan's body. After all, he is a person sent by the Emperor. It is my dereliction of duty that I did not take good care of him."

The emperor's eyes were full of anger, and he looked at Yun Luan with gritted teeth: "You..." "Yun Luan, did you do this on purpose?"

Yun Luan raised his head and looked at the emperor with a confused face. "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? How could I do it on purpose? I have always respected your Majesty, and everything I do is always in compliance with your Majesty's orders. I never dare to I disobey Your Majesty, I am so loyal to Your Majesty, how can you say that I did it on purpose?"

"All of this is just my unintentional mistake. Your Majesty, will you punish me with beheading because of this unintentional mistake?" Yun Luan's words made the emperor speechless. Speechless. He took a breath of cold air, softened his expression slightly, and twitched the corners of his stiff lips: "How could it be? Am I the kind of fool who punishes others for trivial matters?"

Yun Luan breathed a sigh of relief and said with lingering fear: "My daughter said, Your Majesty is not that kind of person. With His Majesty's words, I feel relieved."

"However, Your Majesty, I really want to know who Shen Congshan is. I have never seen him before, and I didn't expect that he would be put into great use by Your Majesty in a short period of time. I still treat him very well." Quite curious..." The emperor pursed his thin lips and looked at Yun Luan in confusion. He pondered for a long time, but finally didn't know how to answer Yun Luan's question. For him, Shen Congshan's identity was not something to be avoided. The bad thing is, Rui'er mentioned this person in front of him. Originally, he wanted Shen Congshan to contribute to the suppression of bandits in Yongzhou, so he had an excuse to promote Shen Congshan, and Shen Congshan could also help. Arrive at Xiao Xuanrui. Who knew that all these plans were messed up by Yun Luan. I don’t know if she did it on purpose or if she really didn’t know? The emperor didn’t have any thoughts anymore and went around in circles with Yun Luan. He rubbed his eyebrows and pressed down The anger in my heart. "Just leave this matter alone. I will send people to search for Shen Congshan's whereabouts. You did something bad with good intentions, it was an unintentional mistake. I... don't blame you."

"However, since your merits and demerits are equal, I can't reward you with anything. I hope you won't resent me for being unfair."

Yun Luan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "How could it be? The emperor is so wise and fair, and it is too late for me to be grateful. After this incident, I understand more and more that Nan Chu will definitely go further and further under your majesty's wise decision."

She flattered her a lot. The emperor's mood did not change at all. He asked Yun Luan to step back impatiently. After Yun Luan left the imperial study, the emperor's face suddenly became sinister and cold. He called Zhou The father-in-law came in: "Send people to the mountains near Yongzhou to search for the whereabouts of Shen Congshan with the greatest possible strength. I want to see the person alive and the corpse dead."

Eunuch Zhou did not dare to hesitate and immediately agreed in a low voice. - In the cold palace, Zhao Waner was sitting on the sofa, staring at the scenery outside the window. Her eyes were full of defeat. In the past few days, she has been asking people to give her a The emperor sent a letter and wanted him to take a look at her, but he was a cold-hearted person and ignored her show of weakness. It seemed that the past love between her and the emperor had all turned into an illusion. She was in the cold palace. , living like years, not knowing the years, wasting a good life. And he, with a new love in his arms, singing and singing every day, is really unhappy. This is Xiao Chongshan, this is his true nature. In the past, he was only cold-blooded to others, but now, he This cold-blooded and ruthless look finally fell on her. She hated, she resented, and wanted to destroy everything. But she was trapped in this cold palace and couldn't go anywhere. What should she do? Zhao Waner thought, filled with anger Unable to vent her anger, she grabbed the tea cup at hand and threw it to the ground. Unexpectedly, suddenly there was a noisy sound outside. The next moment, the palace door creaked and someone pushed it open from the outside. The palace people had expressions on their faces. In order to please you, I respectfully invited the noble person to enter the palace. "My dear Snow...you should watch your step."

"If anything happens to you, just call us and we will be guarding you outside."

"Yes, Yuki, please don't get too close to her. This lady has been emotionally unstable these past few days. She always breaks things and loses her temper."

"Yes, you are so delicate, don't let her hurt you..." Xueyuan's voice was clear and sweet, and she thanked them gently. She didn't bring anyone with her, only a food box, and she walked so calmly Stepping through the palace gate and walking into the inner hall. Zhao Waner took in everything at the door. She sat up slowly and narrowed her eyes at Xue Yuan... "Bitch, what are you doing here?"

She really didn't expect that Xueyuan would come to the cold palace to see her. She hated this woman as much as she hated the emperor. It was this bitch that made her completely lose the emperor's favor. If she hadn't snatched love away from him, I'm afraid the emperor would Today, she still cares about their old relationship and will not throw her into the cold palace. A bit of surprise flashed in Xue Yuan's eyes. As far as she knew, Zhao Waner was not poisoned by the emperor and became mute. How could she speak? Sure enough, Zhao Waner was poisoned by the emperor. , Zhao Waner is a secretive person. She thought of a certain possibility, her eyes flashed slightly, but she did not show any surprise. Xue Yuan ignored Zhao Waner's curses and shouts. She looked at it very calmly. The palace man closed the palace door, she smiled and held the food box, and slowly approached Zhao Waner. Zhao Waner's face was full of wariness, and her eyes were filled with hatred. Xue Yuan placed the food box not far away. On the case table, she opened the food box, took out the delicacies, and placed them on the table one by one. "These are pearl meatballs... It seems that the imperial chef used more than ten young suckling pigs to specially select the best and most delicious food from them. Made from the tender part of the meat. I remember, this seems to be my sister's favorite, right? You have been in the cold palace for so long, so you must have not eaten for a long time... My sister was afraid that you would not be able to eat well in the cold palace, so she specially brought it to her. Satisfy your cravings.”

Zhao Waner stared at Xue Yuan's flower-like face. Her eyes were full of jealousy, and she gritted her teeth and whispered: "Weasel has no good intentions in paying New Year greetings to Chicken. You bitch, you are just here to see my joke." I'm telling you... you don't have much time to be proud. If I leave this cold palace one day, it will be your death."

Xue Yuan sighed helplessly, and turned to look at Zhao Waner. "Sister...it seems that you have a deep misunderstanding of me. I don't know what I did to make you so jealous."

Zhao Waner sneered bluntly: "You don't need to do anything, you just need to take away the emperor's favor, and you will be my enemy, Zhao Waner."

"If it weren't for you, the Emperor would not ignore our old relationship."

Xueyuan's eyes turned red. She put down her food box and kept her attitude very low. "Sister, to be honest, I really don't want to be enemies with you. Tell me, what exactly do you want me to do before you can let go of your hatred for me?" Resentment?"

Zhao Waner looked at her weak, pitiful appearance, and she was extremely annoyed. She could no longer control the anger in her heart. She suddenly fell down, and rushed towards Xue Yuan like a madman. He grabbed her hair. "You bitch, I'm not a man, and I'm not trying to show you pity. If you want to show your mind in front of me, then you are playing it wrong. My face was Destroy it, you bitch, you shouldn't keep your appearance..." "I'm going to destroy you, I'm going to make you an ugly monster like me."

As she spoke, she stabbed Xue Yuan's face with her sharp nails. Xue Yuan was caught off guard, and soon a bloody mark was scratched on her face by Zhao Waner. She couldn't help but scream in pain, she never expected Zhao Waner Will suddenly pounce... She was completely confused. She was thrown to the ground, and Zhao Waner took the opportunity to scratch her face a few more times. When the palace people outside heard the sound, they were all startled and pushed away quickly. They opened the palace door and ran in. When they saw Nobleman Xue being scratched on the face by Nobleman Wan, they were panicked. "Ouch, something big is going to happen."

"Hurry up and pull away from this crazy woman."

Several people hurriedly stepped forward and pulled away the crazy Zhao Waner. Only then did Xue Yuan get a chance to breathe. She lay on the ground and shouted to a palace servant with some collapse: "Bring me a mirror quickly, I want to take a look at myself." His face..." The palace lady shuddered and looked at Xueyuan's bloody face. She didn't dare to delay and quickly brought a mirror over. Xueyuan took the mirror and when she raised her head, she saw her own bloody face. Face. Her pupils couldn't help but tremble, and her eyes were full of annoyance and indignation. "My face..." Tears fell from the corners of her eyes, and she quickly asked the palace people to ask for a doctor. Zhao Waner was standing aside, her eyes full of pride. , she couldn't help but raise her head and laugh. "Hahaha... Bitch is going to be disfigured just like me."

"Hahaha, you bitch has turned into an ugly monster. I want to see how you can get the emperor's favor..." "You bitch, what else do you have to show off your power in front of me..." Xue Yuan's A bit of anger slowly welled up in her eyes. She clutched the mirror tightly and looked at Zhao Waner coldly: "I kindly gave you face, but who knew you didn't know how to show appreciation. In this case, don't blame me for being rude. "Although the cold palace is uncomfortable, no one will make you suffer, right? From today on, you can't even think about being happy in this cold palace."

Zhao Waner was startled, then she suppressed her smile and looked at Xue Yuan gloomily. "Bitch, you finally stopped pretending, right?"

"Just now, weren't you pretending to be soft and weak in front of me? It was pitiful? Now, why don't you continue to pretend? Hehe, you want to come in front of me and show off your sense of superiority. Let me tell you, you are targeting the wrong person. I Zhao Waner, even if she is relegated to the cold palace, you cannot provoke her."

Xue Yuan threw the mirror away and got up from the ground. She clenched her palms and walked step by step in front of Zhao Waner with cold eyebrows. Now Xue Yuan's expression had undergone a huge change from just now. Zhao Waner couldn't help but feel excited in her heart. She had a bad premonition. She couldn't help but take a few steps back. Xue Yuan looked at the palace attendants next to her. "Control her hands..." Those palace attendants hesitated. Yuan moved her wrist and said slowly and calmly: "You have to think clearly about who is favored by His Majesty now. These few scratches from Mr. Zhao are not enough to disfigure me..." "I am now, I am the only one favored in the palace. I am His Majesty's favorite. As long as I am unhappy, who do I want to deal with is not just a matter of words? On the contrary, if I want to promote someone, it is also a matter of words. . ”

"You have been in the cold palace for a long time, so you should want to get ahead more than anyone else, right? If you miss this opportunity, I'm afraid you will never have this opportunity again..." After calculation by several palace people, Xue Guiren was indeed right. They were all ostracized. That's why they were assigned to the cold palace to serve some disgraced concubines. In these years, they have no money and no connections. Even if they die, they can't get out of the cold palace. Now that they finally have an opportunity, how can they do it in front of them? Don't cherish it. Several people looked at each other, and then they all followed Xue Yuan's instructions and controlled Zhao Waner's arm. Zhao Waner's eyes were full of fear, and she couldn't help but yell at several palace people: "You... you What do you want to do? Are you going to rebel?"

"I am the emperor's favorite woman. My current frustration is only temporary. If you dare to help this bitch deal with me, one day I will cut you to pieces."

Xue Yuan couldn't help but snorted coldly: "You still want to regain favor? Don't you look at what you are like now? With your dignity, let alone be able to charm the emperor. Even a woman like me feels sick and unlucky after seeing it."

"You still want to use your honor to get His Majesty's mercy? Oh, Zhao Waner, are you daydreaming?"

Zhao Waner's hands and feet were controlled, and a bit of fear filled her heart. "I...Although I have been disfigured, I still have a son..." Xue Yuan's eyes were full of disdain, and she interrupted Zhao Waner with a sneer: " Was your son still exiled to Jinzhou a long time ago? Now, he is just an exiled prince. I’m afraid he will never have a chance to come back in his life, right?"

"Before, I thought you were an old man who had been favored for many years, and I wanted to respect you, but you were so shameless. You actually wanted to destroy me and send me to hell. Since you were unkind first, then you Don't blame me for being unjust..." Zhao Waner's face turned pale, and she looked at Xue Yuan blankly. "You...what do you want to do?"

With a snap, Xue Yuan raised her hand and slapped Zhao Waner hard on the face. This slap used a lot of strength. Zhao Waner's face was hit to the side, and there was a stinging pain at the corner of her mouth, and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. She came out. She cried out in pain: "Ah... you bitch."

"Pah!" Another slap came down, and it hit the other face hard. Zhao Waner's head went dark, and she was extremely angry: "Bitch..." Pah, the slap continued to fall. Xue Yuan didn't even blink. : "You continue to scold me, and I will continue to beat you."

"Bitch..." "Snap."

"Ah, bitch, I will definitely kill you."

Xueyuan rubbed her red palms, frowned slightly, and then called a palace servant over: "Keep beating her until she can't make a sound."

The palace lady gritted her teeth and nodded at Xueyuan. Then, she raised her arm and hit Zhao Waner hard. Zhao Waner's face was almost bruised from the beating. She had some scabs. The scar began to ooze pus and bleed again. This look was extremely miserable. She did not dare to curse Xue Yuan anymore, she was really afraid that she would be beaten to death. Zhao Waner gritted her teeth and looked at Xue Yuan angrily. Xue Yuan raised her eyebrows: "Keep scolding, why don't you scold me anymore?"

Zhao Waner wanted to tear this bitch to pieces immediately. No one dared to humiliate her like this. Sooner or later, she would definitely cut this bitch into pieces. "Don't be proud... As long as I don't die, sooner or later, you will It fell into my hands."

Xueyuan chuckled lightly, holding the handkerchief to block her nose. "Okay, then I'll wait. I'm afraid, I won't be able to wait in this life, right? You are an ugly monster now. With your dignity, Rong, how can you regain the favor of the saint? Zhao Waner, you have to look at the reality even if you are dreaming."

She said, sweeping the pearl balls on the desk to the ground. "You guys, press her down on the ground. When she can lick the balls on the ground clean, let her get up. "

"Remember, she has to lick the soup and water clean. Also, there is no tea or other things allowed in this palace..." "Didn't she like lion heads before? I'll give it to her tonight." Make an exception and serve a dish of lion's head. Remember to tell the cook that she likes saltier food and add more salt for her."

Several palace people responded quickly. They are now obedient to Xue Yuan's orders. Now they will obey whoever is favored. Zhao Waner's generation has passed. The most indispensable thing in this palace is to meet Feng. Those who steer the helm know better than anyone else that they cannot offend anyone who is receiving the favor of a noble person. After Xueyuan gave all these instructions, she did not even look at Zhao Waner, and was helped by others, twisting her slender waist. She walked away from the cold palace step by step. When she reached the entrance of the palace, she stopped, turned back slowly, and looked at Zhao Waner with a smile on her lips: "I'm waiting for the day when your empress will come forward... I hope you won't disappoint me. . ”
