The rest of the concubines are a bit reluctant to do that, but they do not have the guts to defy him. They can only curtsy before leaving with heavy hearts.
Jun Qian Che enters Feng Yang Palace. Now that he has been discovered, he might as well confront her about what happened the other night.
Now that they are meeting again, there is this certain embarra.s.sment lingering between them. They are originally a pair of husband and wife, but now that they have consummated their marriage, by force at that, there is this slight awkwardness between them.
Both of them stand in the courtyard, looking at each other awkwardly.
Mo Qi Qi does not like this atmosphere and tries to lighten the atmosphere, ”Look at how popular you are, Your Majesty! All the meimeis were so happy when they saw you, why didn't you let them stay?”
”Are you okay?” Jun Qian Che does not wish to talk about those women.
His words bring back all the resentment that Mo Qi Qi has been trying to conceal. She looks away, trying her best to appear light-hearted. ”I am fine! I eat fine, I sleep fine! There are so many meimeis accompanying me to play, to dance, my life is naturally good!”
”Zhen was out of control that night. Zhen will not force you in the future, zhen will…..” Jun Qian Che earnestly promises her.
”Chenqie has forgotten everything that happened that night. Do not bring it up anymore, let's just pretend it never happened.” Mo Qi Qi pretends to laugh indifferently.
Jun Qian Che gives her a long look before turning around and leaving helplessly.
As Mo Qi Qi stares at his retreating back, she mumbles to herself, ”Useless jerk, what is the point of saying all that after doing what you did? Trash. I will give you your retribution, just wait,” after saying that, she turns away, plotting ways to get rid of Jun Qian Che.
The night is dark and gloomy, perfect to do something one wouldn't want others to know.
The servants in Yu Jing Palace have gone to rest.
A black-clothed figure shadily approach Jun Qian Che's resting chamber. The person pokes a bamboo stick through the window and blows into it. White smoke floats out of the stick.
Mo Qi Qi puts away the bamboo stick and starts counting inside her head: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9…
”Ban Xiang said that this fainting smoke is very powerful. By the count of 10, even the most powerful person will lose consciousness. Hpmh, Jun Qian Che, you dared to force this grannie, see if this grannie won't finish you today!”
And so, Mo Qi Qi carefully lowers her body before pushing open the door. Lucky the door is not locked. Seems like even the G.o.ds are planning to help her tonight.
Mo Qi Qi enters the chamber as she carefully eyes her surrounding, no one is in the outer chamber. She smiles arrogantly, seems like she did the right thing by putting the fainting smoke into the room. Then, she carefully creeps into the inner chamber. Since she is too focused on the inner chamber, she accidentally kicks an antique vase.
She immediately stoops down to stop it from falling. She pats her chest in relief, ”How dangerous.”
She continues making her way to the dragon bed. She stoops down in front of the bed carefully, not wanting to make her presence known. The wooden carving of the rosewood bed draws her attention. She caresses it gently while appreciating it in her heart: This is indeed worthy of being an emperor's bed. The flowers are vivid and lifelike, what an excellent showcase of craftsmanship. What did they used to carve it so realistically? The ancient people are indeed wondrous!
After a moment of distraction, Mo Qi Qi holds herself together. She knocks herself in the head, ”What on earth is wrong with you, Mo Qi Qi! You are here to kill Jun Qian Che, why are you getting distracted by his bed?”
She looks around the room again before getting up. Jun Qian Che is lying on top of the bed with his eyes close, asleep.
