Chapter 305

In the Fengluan Palace, Imperial Concubine Xu and Changning knelt in front of Empress Wei. Changning was crying like a pear blossom as crystal tears rolled down her eyes like pearls on her slightly pale cheeks.

Qin Jiu was also there, sitting on the side armchair silently looking at Imperial Concubine Xu and Changning, the mother and daughter pair.

Imperial Concubine Xu and Changning came to Empress Wei more than an hour ago, but Empress Wei refused to see them so the mother and daughter kneeled outside Fengluan Palace while crying straight up, no matter how much the palace maids persuade them to leave.

At that time, Qin Jiu was accompanying Empress Wei, who was still recuperating, so during this time the concubines, prince, and princess didn’t need to greet her early morning.

The two of them were in the middle of their breakfast, and because of the mother and daughter’s fuss early in the morning, Qin Jiu wasn’t able to finish her bowl of congee.

After eating, Empress Wei didn’t let Imperial Concubine An and her daughter in until after a cup of tea later, and as soon as the mother and daughter came in, they immediately knelt and started crying once again.

Qin Jiu looked at the mother and daughter with great interest and felt that they were worthy of being mother and daughter. Both of them cried beautifully, their eyes were red, and foggy after being washed by tears, however, they did not look remorseful at all. On the contrary, they looked delicate, and weak, more like a beauty who looked so pitiful after being bullied.

Empress Wei ignored Imperial Concubine Xu and Changning, and instead continue chatting with Qin Jiu with a smile.

Kneeling at one side, Imperial Concubine Xu and Changning wiped their tears with their handkerchief, while quietly looking at Empress Wei from the corner of their eyes.

They originally wanted to wait for the empress to take the initiative to ask but instead, they heard Empress Wei chatting happily with Qin Jiu. The two chatted about the “Peony Pavillon” to “Mu Guiying Takes Command”, and talk more about books that had just been handed over by the Zhongguo Division.

Imperial Concubine Xu: “….”

Imperial Concubine Xu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief again as her eyes flickered.

There was really no other way, so Imperial Concubine Xu could only open her mouth and said to Changning, “Changning, you are still sick, is your body, okay? Are you taking your medicine on time?”

“This concubine mother knows that you are filial, and is copying the “Buddhist Sutra” every day to ask blessings for the empress but you also need to take care of yourself ah…”

Imperial Concubine Xu may have said it like she was praising her daughter for her filial pity but in fact, behind those words meant that Changning was praying for the empress, and that was why she got sick.

Empress Wei still ignored them as if she never heard what Imperial Concubine Xu had said.

Seeing this, Changning sobbed a few times as if suppressing her tears as she said, “Concubine mother, this daughter is fine. This daughter made concubine mother worry.”

“Changning, you have been like this since you were a child. You take care of everything yourself…”

As Imperial Concubine Xu said this, she began to sob again while wiping her tears from the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief.

“Since you are sick go back and let the imperial physician take a look, don’t delay the wedding date.” At this time, Empress Wei finally spoke gracefully and calmly to them.

The moment she said “wedding date” the empress’s voice was so cold that they all felt chill all over their body.

Qin Jiu had already heard from Empress Wei that the emperor bestowed marriages on Yelu Luan, Changning, and Yingluo, so hearing Empress Wei say this her expression was subtle.

Originally, the emperor didn’t plan on bestowing marriage of his offspring to Dayan which Qin Jiu already know, and she also heard Empress Wei mention this herself before the incident.

But this would be different now since according to Empress Wei in the future Yelu Luan would have an “extended stay” in the capital and couldn’t leave his residence without official reason which clearly meant that he would be imprisoned for life.

After several months of getting along with each other, Qin Jiu knew a little about her uncle, the emperor. He was used to being gentle to others, so gentle that he doesn’t look like an emperor at all

Therefore, the reason for the marriage proposal was obviously because the emperor hated Changning so much that he made her marry Yelu Luan.

Qin Jiu’s eyes flashed as she thought of a vague guess: The reason why her aunt had a sudden asthma attack was really related to Changning!

On the other, hearing Empress Wei mention the “wedding date”, Changning’s face turned paler than a white paper and her thin and delicate body shook violently and almost fell down.

“Changning!” Imperial Concubine Xu exclaimed as she rushed over and hugged Changning in her arms and tears streaming down her face as if she had lost her daughter.

Imperial Concubine Xu patted Changning on the back and pleaded to Empress Wei again, “Empress has watched Changning grow up, and she has always been filial to you. She had a fever because of a knife wound two days ago, but even so she still always wanted to pray for you…”

“Empress, forgive me for daring to say that Changning is too weak to bear the pain of marrying someone in Northern Yan.”

Imperial Concubine Xu said this very sadly and with reddened eyes.

She really loves her daughter, and she couldn’t help blaming Empress Wei for being cruel.

Also, it’s not like she could blame herself just because Changning didn’t crawl out from the empress’s stomach. Changning already cut her flesh and prayed for her, but the empress didn’t have a trace of kindness for her…

Empress Wei drew a sneer from the corner of her lips as she looked at the mother and daughter kneeling on the ground, with sharp eyes she said indifferently: “Filial piety, do you mean deliberately scattering catkins where this empress passes by?”

Imperial Concubine Xu and Changning froze as if they had been slapped in the face, both mother and daughter forgot to cry and looked up at Empress Wei in disbelief.

How did the Empress know about this?!
