Queen's favorite

To be honest, the moment he heard Wang Xiyi's words clearly, Qi Changle's first reaction was that something was wrong, and then he frowned.

She raised her eyes and looked at Wang Xiyi. The other party didn't seem to have the slightest sense of crisis, but was simply embarrassing and thinking about the proposal that should be granted.

Wang Xiyi frowned sadly, as if she had something on her mind.

Qi Changle asked her: "What kind of follow should Ying Shucheng talk about?"

Wang Xiyi's face turned red, "Sister..." She paused, and said falteringly, "That's right, that kind of following."

Qi Changle's eyelashes were slightly drawn, covering the coldness in his eyes.

She didn't even need to think about the intentions and scheming behind Ying Xucheng's words, and she didn't even need to consider whether the other party was sincere, just one point——

Qi Changle raised his eyes, his eyes were cold.

"Since Ying Shucheng mentioned this matter, then he can make a plan for you?" Qi Changle raised his eyebrows slightly, "Even though he is thrown into the cold palace at the moment, there are all His Majesty's concubines in the harem. If people who are His Majesty are together, do you know what the consequences will be?"

Dirty and chaotic harem.

And it was also Zhongliyu's harem.

"Besides, there are His Majesty's eyeliners in the harem. If you are really together with Ying Xucheng, why do you think that you two can deceive the world with your strength?"

Hearing Qi Changle's merciless provocation, Wang Xiyi's face turned pale, and after a while, she murmured: "I also told him about these things, but, but Ying Xucheng said——"

Even though he was in the cold palace, the man who still maintained a dignified young master's demeanor held her hand, and the arrogance of the past was faintly visible between his brows.

"But isn't Qi Changle your good sister?"

"Xiyi, can you please ask Qi Changle to intercede? If she is involved, then maybe His Majesty will agree."

"Besides, don't you want to be with me openly? Although the two of us said we entered Zhongliyu's harem, we don't like her. Obviously we are lovers, why can't we get married?"

"And according to Zhong Liyu's character, she shouldn't need to keep two concubines who don't like her, and now that she already has Qi Changle, she won't care."

"Xiyi, can you go and beg Qi Changle? It's for our future."

After listening to Wang Xiyi's words, the expression on Qi Changle's face remained unchanged, not even anger or surprise, she just felt that this was indeed something that Ying Shucheng would say.

She just smiled moderately, and said softly: "It's a good idea."

Wang Xiyi turned pale, and quickly shook her head: "No, that's not the case, I don't intend to beg you, Sister Changle, although I'm not very smart, I also know that it's not good to bother others with our affairs..."

She bit her lip, with a pitiful expression, "I just heard such news suddenly, and I was a little bit moved, but I knew it was not appropriate, so I came to you this time not to ask for your help, but... It's just talking."

She lowered her head and squeezed her fingers tightly.

"I just want to talk to you to calm my heart."

Qi Changle looked at her, then sighed, a little helpless.

If it was in the past, Qi Changle would probably have mercilessly told Wang Xiyi about Ying Shucheng's possible scheming behind it, even if it hurt people; because she didn't want to continue to watch Wang Xiyi be stupid.

But now, Qi Changle, who also experienced a little bit of liking, couldn't bear to tell the whole story.

Because liking someone's mood is very fragile.

Qi Changle lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then asked her: "Then what do you think?"

Wang Xiyi looked confused, and shook her head: "I don't know either. But I... was very happy when I heard his words." She lowered her eyes, her expression was a little painful.

"Sister, is it not good for me to be like this?"

Qi Changle raised his eyebrows in surprise, "How come?"

Wang Xiyi said: "Because I... am not reserved like this." She hugged herself, with a sad expression on her face, "Others simply hook their fingers, and I can't wait to pass."

Qi Changle fell silent, then smiled helplessly.

"not at all."

Facing the invitation of the person he likes, who can really refuse.

Even Qi Changle.

If she was facing Zhongliyu's invitation today, it might be difficult for her to maintain her calmness.

"If my sister encountered such a thing, what would she do?"

Qi Changle was slightly stunned, "Does it mean that you are in the same situation as you?"

Wang Xiyi nodded.

Qi Changle thought for a moment, then curled the corners of his lips, with a fearless gleam in his eyes.

"If it was me, maybe I would go straight to it." She said with a smile.

But this statement is not entirely false.

Before being tempted, Qi Changle was indifferent, cautious, careful and grasping the size, but after being tempted, all her personality traits may be reversed.

Active, enthusiastic, and full of devotion.

Maybe she still has scheming, but that kind of scheming is only for "calculating" love.

And after Qi Changle is tempted, as long as she admits it, then she will face it directly.

Therefore, it is not a lie to say that I will "go directly".

If the situation changes now, and she and Zhong Liyu are concubines of a certain emperor, then if she encounters such a situation, Qi Changle will indeed try her best to show another value, and then use her own value to exchange with the emperor. , in exchange for the opportunity to be with each other.

Fortunately, she is lucky, and now she doesn't need to worry about these things.

She just needs to think about how to like Zhongliyu and make him like her even more.

Hearing Qi Changle's answer, Wang Xiyi was a little taken aback, "I always thought that Sister Changle would be a more roundabout..."

Qi Changle smiled and raised his eyebrows, "Wrong."

Quite the opposite.

She's the one who will fight for it straight away.

After seeing off Wang Xiyi, the smile on Qi Changle's face faded slowly, and then she called Suxi.

"Go and find out if Ying Xiucheng has been in contact with anyone recently."

Su Xi nodded and agreed.

Qi Changle fiddled with his fingers and narrowed his eyes.

Directly asking Wang Xiyi to come to her, there is no doubt that this is for Qi Changle.Of course, she is not surprised, after all, it is not unusual for Ying Shicheng to hate her.

However, she hated it.Using Wang Xiyi to deceive Wang Xiyi.

But Qi Changle quickly smiled again.

What kind of good person is she pretending to wash her hands in a golden basin now?If it was Qi Changle from before, I'm afraid he would choose to use it without hesitation.After all, she never cared whether it would hurt someone who really liked her.

But now she...

There was a gentle smile on Qi Changle's lips.

Probably won't want to have any emotional entanglements with anyone other than Zhongliyu.

Thinking of Zhongliyu, Qi Changle realized that he missed her a little bit.

It wasn't long before they separated from each other.

Not just the thoughts in the heart, but also the thoughts in the body.

Miss Zhong Liyu's faint fragrance and the sound of panting.

Because of moving to a new palace, and because she wanted to deal with Xu Zhaoyi, Qi Changle simply invited people to her palace for a gathering.

Of course, it's not a big party just to join in the fun.

Although this is a rare social interaction in the harem, because the person who initiated it was Qi Changle, many concubines came to visit it out of face.

Before coming to Changle Palace, they had made sufficient mental preparations.But even though they had heard about the decoration of Changle Palace before, when they really came to watch it, they were still shocked by the extravagance here.

Is this... the favor from the king?

Even Zhong Liyu, when he dotes on someone, he is so caring and caring, which makes people jealous.

In particular, the more things that cannot be seen normally, the more shocking it will be when they are all revealed at this time.

Such is Zhongliyu's love.

Some people couldn't help but slander from the bottom of their hearts. From this point of view, except for his bad temper, Zhong Liyu seems to be no different from other kings?

Some people even wondered, if they also tried their best to fight for the favor, would they be favored by the queen like Qi Changle?

Of course, they only dared to think about it in their hearts.

Even if what Zhong Liyu did to Qi Changle changed the people in the harem a little, it still couldn't change the shadow in their hearts.

No one can face Zhong Liyu openly.

Many people complimented Qi Changle out of face, but Qi Changle just bent his lips and smiled.

"Speaking of which, the lake on the west side of Changle Palace is connected to the Imperial Garden. At night, the lights are very beautiful. Why don't you take a walk and take a look?"

She said so, and naturally no one refused.

Qi Changle walked among the crowd and approached Xu Zhaoyi's position.

She chuckled and said, "What does Xu Zhaoyi think of the scenery here?"

Xu Zhaoyi would never have imagined that Qi Changle had already planned to use such a despicable means to frame her in his heart.

After all, Qi Changle only had one case of framing someone in the palace, and that was Concubine Ying's.

But at that time, it was not framed, after all, those things were said by Ying Xucheng.

What's more, Xu Zhaoyi would never think of Qi Changle playing tricks.So in a sense, she let her guard down.

When she heard Qi Changle's question, she just thought that the other party was deliberately targeting her and showing off, so although she felt uncomfortable, she really didn't think in other directions.

Xu Zhaoyi just bent her lips when she heard the words, "The scenery here is indeed very beautiful, Your Majesty."

Qi Changle looked towards the lake.

"There are more beautiful ones." With a chuckle on her lips, she made a wrong step, and then pointed to the middle of the lake.

"Look, Zhaoyi."

Xu Zhaoyi subconsciously looked in the direction of her finger, but the next moment, Qi Changle took a step back and fell into the lake.

Xu Zhaoyi suddenly opened his eyes wide, and the pupils shrank suddenly.

By the time she realized what had happened, the scene was chaotic.

"Concubine Jue has fallen into the water!"

"Hurry up and save the lady!"

"Come on, come on, someone who can swim!"

"Go and invite Your Majesty, hurry up and invite your Majesty and the imperial doctor!"

It was only then that Xu Zhaoyi realized what Qi Changle was doing for.

Everyone moved forward enthusiastically, but she backed away in fear.

"Qi Changle...you actually..."

"I didn't do it, I didn't do it."

Now that it's autumn, the water in the pond is naturally much colder, making people shivering and unable to use their strength; but fortunately, Qi Changle is good at water, and he specially wore thinner clothes for framing her this time, so he won't come Sometimes I can't float because of the heavy load.

She knew that her plan was rough and full of undetermined points.But...Qi Changle didn't mind.

There are two kinds of so-called framing.

One is to do it so seamlessly that everyone thinks she is the victim and stays out of it perfectly.Just like what she had done in response to the award.

The second is that she is deeply loved and trusted. No matter whether she did it or not, there will be people who believe her and are willing to take her words as truth.This is what Qi Changle did this time.

She framed Xu Zhaoyi not only for herself, but also...Qi Changle also wanted to test her position in Zhongliyu's heart.

She wanted to see if Zhong Liyu would put aside principles and the truth for her sake and only trust her alone.

Thinking of this, the corners of Qi Changle's lips curled up slightly.

Maybe it sounds unreasonable and unbelievable, but Qi Changle doesn't care.

A person with her personality, after being serious, may be more or less... a little crazy?

It's almost time, Qi Changle looked at the water above, ready to float up.

A court lady rescued Qi Changle, and afterward, Su Xi immediately brought a cloak to put on Qi Changle.

Although she was flustered, she arranged the affairs here in an orderly manner.

Let the rest of the concubines disperse first, then ask the maid to take Qi Changle to rest in Changle Palace, then arrange a group of people to invite the imperial doctor, another group to invite Zhong Liyu, and another group to stay and take care of the concubines present.

Probably, such a thing has never happened in the harem, so after the initial panic passed, all the concubines wanted to stay and watch the development of the matter.

After all, they were not by Qi Changle's side when the incident happened, so there was no suspicion, and they were naturally calm. On the contrary, Xu Zhaoyi was the closest to Qi Changle at that time, and if something happened, she would be the first to be held accountable.

Thinking of this, many people looked at it with some gloating.

The water in this palace has been silent for too long, so even a little wave is enough to attract people's attention.

How could Xu Zhaoyi fail to see the schadenfreude in other people's eyes?But she didn't know what to explain.The incident happened suddenly, and her mind is still blank.

The only thing that is certain is that she was framed by Qi Changle!

Thinking of what Ying Xucheng said... She was originally the other party's sophistry, but after thinking about it, maybe everything is true.

This woman Qi Changle is not only ruthless, but also willing to resort to tricks. Even he himself would not have thought that she would be able to risk herself. Wouldn't she be afraid of drowning at the bottom of the lake? !

Xu Zhaoyi hugged herself and squatted down slowly, her face was pale, and her eyes were full of vicious emotions.

Qi Changle, that bitch, why didn't he just drown in it!

And... how can she get out?

Although there were many people at that time, but their location was remote, and the incident happened suddenly, no one had time to pay attention to this side, so Xu Zhaoyi came to Xu Zhaoyi alone, and couldn't think of any words to get out of her for a while.

What if, what if the female monarch is held accountable?

Thinking of Zhong Liyu's questioning and the other party's anger, Xu Zhaoyi couldn't help shaking.

...No, probably not.

Such an obvious frame-up, how could the lady not see it?

And this small gathering was organized by Qi Changle, and it was the other party's idea to come to the lake to watch it, she didn't know it at all.

Xu Zhaoyi clutched her arm tightly, her face panicked.

What should she do, being framed by Qi Changle in such a way, how should she excuse herself.

Although the Changle Palace is in a panic at the moment, it is also in order.

Suqiao had already changed the wet clothes on Qi Changle's body, and the other party covered her with a warm quilt to keep warm, and then waited for the imperial doctor to arrive.

Qi Changle counted the time, listened to the movement outside, and after the imperial doctor checked his pulse, he slowly opened his eyelashes and woke up.

"Your Majesty, are you awake?!" Suqiao had been paying attention to her situation, and when she saw Qi Changle opened her eyes, she said in surprise.

Qi Changle nodded, his face was a little pale from the cold.

"Thank God, you'll be fine when you wake up."

Qi Changle glanced outside, except for the imperial doctor, he didn't see anyone else.

She asked, "Where's Su Xi?"

"Suxi is taking care of the ladies in the palace..." Suqiao paused, and asked hesitantly: "My lady, you entered the water this time..."

Qi Changle slightly bent his lips, even though the smile looked a little pale.

"I don't know, but now that I think about it, the incident happened suddenly. I didn't pay attention to it. The only thing I still remember is a push from my side."

Her eyes were dark.

"The one who was by my side at that time was probably not Xu Zhaoyi, but her court lady."

Suqiao parted her lips, "So Xu Zhaoyi pushed you?"

Qi Changle closed his eyes wearily, "I just have this guess."

But in fact, this reason may not be tenable.

But... it doesn't matter if you can stand or not, these reasons are just for outsiders to see.

The person she really wanted to tell was Zhong Liyu.

Qi Changle opened his eyes, "Where is Your Majesty?"

Before Suqiao could answer, there was an announcement from outside.

"Your Majesty is here, Your Concubine is here—"

Did Zhong Liyu and the imperial concubine come together?

It wasn't that the two met on the road, it must have been when Su Xi sent someone to tell them that they were together.

Qi Changle didn't have time to think deeply, the next moment, she saw Zhong Liyu walking in quickly.

The other party's face was expressionless, his black eyes were deep, and there was a thick and suffocating aura between his brows, as if he walked in with a bloody murderous aura.

The moment the rest of them saw her expression, they all shivered and retreated.

Zhong Liyu came over, and when she saw Qi Changle waking up, her footsteps paused slightly, and her expression on her face was slightly restrained, but then, when her eyes fell on Qi Changle's pale face and lips, she turned cold.

"what happened?"

Zhong Liyu came over, sat on the side of the bed, and held Qi Changle's hand.

It was a slightly cold temperature, almost lower than her body temperature.

Realizing this, Zhongliyu's expression was not good-looking, the strength in her palm was heavy, and her eyes were gloomy.

Qi Changle wanted to get up, but was pushed back by the other party.

Even facing her, Zhongliyu's expression is still not very good.

She looked over coldly, with a slight mockery in her eyes, "I want to get up just after waking up, do you feel that I got better too soon?"

Qi Changle was taken aback for a moment, because this was the first time she had received such obvious ridicule from Zhong Liyu—of course not counting the early days.

But after a while, she couldn't help but chuckle.

Because hidden behind Zhongliyu's sneer is her concern that she never shows easily.

Qi Changle said: "The concubine can't get up, just straighten down and lean against the pillow."

When she said that, Zhong Liyu finally didn't refute anymore.

She withdrew her hand and lowered her gaze coldly.But even so, when Qi Changle was about to get up, she immediately stretched out her hand to help him, and blocked Suqiao who wanted to help, and helped Qi Changle lean on the soft pillow, making sure that the other party was not uncomfortable, and then let go hands.

Zhongliyu's mood was indeed not very happy.

Rather, very angry.

Anyone who suddenly hears the news that the person they love and care for has fallen into the water will not be happy.

Thinking of his own mood when he heard the news, Zhong Liyu couldn't help closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, so as to suppress all the bloody thoughts in his heart.

Then, Zhong Liyu slowly opened his eyes.

"So what happened."

She stared at Qi Changle intently.

Qi Changle looked into her eyes, paused for a moment, and lowered his gaze.

"The concubine was walking by the pond with all the sisters, and accidentally fell into the water."

Suqiao was startled, and subconsciously said: "Your Majesty, you clearly said that you were not careless..."

Zhong Liyu glanced sideways at Suqiao, and understood everything in an instant.

She looked over, reached out and pinched Qi Changle's chin, making him look at her.

"Is what you said, the maid, true?"

Qi Changle pursed his lips, a little hesitant about how to answer.

Zhong Liyu narrowed his eyes, his mood darkened.

"Changle, are you going to lie to me?"

"Or, who do you want to cover?"

She raised the corners of her lips coldly, "Do you think that if you don't tell me, I will let go of this matter?"

Zhong Liyu withdrew his hand, his eyes remained cold.

Seeing that Zhong Liyu was about to lose control of his emotions, Su Mu and Wei Wei interrupted their conversation after pondering.

"Where are the other concubines?"

Suqiao said: "Aunt Suxi led them to wait in the side hall."

Zhong Liyu sneered, "Call them in."

After Suqiao hesitated slightly, she still obeyed the order.

As for Qi Changle, he didn't want to stop him either.

She pretended to be weak and sat there, her eyes downcast, waiting quietly.

Before the others arrived, she glanced at Zhong Liyu, then slowly stretched out her hand to explore his hand.

Feeling the touch on the back of his hand, Zhongli Yu's eyebrows moved slightly, and then he withdrew his hand.

She is still angry.

Not only was he angry at Qi Changle's falling into the water, but he was even more angry that the other party didn't care about it.

There was coldness and mockery in Zhongliyu's eyes.

The person she cared about so much was not willing to hurt anyone, but now she got herself out of the situation.

Forget it, but the other party still wants to let go of the culprit?

Ah.

The gloom in Zhongli Yu's eyes deepened.

She would like to see what kind of torture would be the best choice at that time.

And as for Qi Changle——

If you don't take your physical condition into consideration, you will be punished.

Qi Changle was not surprised that Zhong Liyu avoided her, but she was still slightly surprised in her heart.

After all, the operation of directly withdrawing the hand like this is really...immature.

It's not like something Zhongliyu can do.

But seeing the other party revealing his real side in front of him, Qi Changle was very happy.

She stretched out her hand persistently and continued, Zhong Liyu withdrew her hand, and she pulled his clothes.

In the end, still not willing to neglect Qi Changle, Zhong Liyu glanced over, the corner of his eyes still had a sharp coldness.

Qi Changle bent her lips and smiled at her, "Your Majesty, my hands are a bit cold..."

Zhong Liyu raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he wanted to mock something, but finally suppressed it.

She snorted lightly, and then said, "Stretch out your hand."

Qi Changle stretched out his hand obediently.

Zhong Liyu lowered his eyes, grabbed her hand, and warmed her up.

The coldness that was originally frozen in my heart has receded a bit at this moment.

Only pity left.

The author has something to say: Qi Changle before enlightenment vs. Qi Changle after enlightenment are almost two extremes

This is probably the so-called scum girl turning her back for money (?????)

Then these two people, in fact, should be scum x scum in a certain sense, and crazy criticism x crazy criticism in a certain sense, but one is open and the other is secretly.
