Chapter 56: I Will Satisfy You
Looking at Li Qinghe’s face, which seemed as if she had swallowed something foul, Li Xuanyue couldn’t help but silently mourn for her.
Empress Lin’s visit to the Phoenix Clan was clearly with ill intentions.
If she found out that her son was starving every day in the Phoenix Clan and no one cared, Li Xuanyue wondered if she would tear Li Qinghe apart and eat her alive.
“Why isn’t Princess Qinghe speaking?”
Seeing that Li Qinghe remained silent for a long time, the anger in Empress Lin’s heart was ignited once again.
“It can’t be that you haven’t informed him of the news that This Palace has arrived in the Phoenix Clan, right?”
If that were the case, she certainly wouldn’t let this wretched girl off easily.
“Qinghe wouldn’t dare.”
Li Qinghe looked up in alarm. “It’s just… the Second Prince is now pregnant and it is inconvenient for him to move about, so Qinghe has let him rest quietly in Qihua Hall.”
Having learned her lesson just now, Li Qinghe didn’t dare call Jun Mo by his name.
She directly referred to him as the Second Prince.
This way, Empress Lin would have fewer chances to catch her mistakes.
Hearing this, the anger in Empress Lin’s heart subsided a little.
But then her expression turned strange and displeased again.
“Since that’s the case, This Palace will go see him first.”
Empress Lin’s purpose in coming to the Phoenix Clan was for her son.
A welcome banquet like this was not as important to her as her son.
Seeing this, Li Feng didn’t say much; as long as Empress Lin was happy.
“Qinghe, then take Empress Lin to Qihua Hall to see your future Official Consort.”
Li Feng ordered with a wave of her hand.
Li Qinghe’s face stiffened; she felt like she was being roasted over a fire.
Let alone her, even Ruyue hadn’t been to Qihua Hall for several days.
Li Qinghe had no idea what the situation inside was like now.
How could she take Empress Lin to Qihua Hall?
“Mother Empress, this is inappropriate.”
To delay time and prepare for what was to come, Li Qinghe refused without much thought.
“The Snake Empress came in a hurry and must be uncomfortable. Why not let the maids take her to wash and bathe first, and then go see the Second Prince?”
This way, Li Qinghe would have a chance to go to Qihua Hall to see Jun Mo first, making him behave obediently and arranging things better.
Unexpectedly, Empress Lin didn’t play by the rules at all.
She directly refused.
“No need!”
Empress Lin said proudly, “Mo’er is my child; he won’t dislike me for this.”
“Princess Qinghe should hurry up and lead the way.”
As the Snake Empress, Empress Lin had long seen through Li Qinghe’s little tricks back in the Snake Clan.
She didn’t think the other party was acting out of kindness.
The only explanation was that she wanted to use this to delay time.
“Sister, why are you still standing there?”
Li Xuanyue saw Li Qinghe standing there like a puppet, unmoving.
She stepped forward with a look of enjoying the show and urged her.
“The Snake Empress is still waiting for you.”
Li Qinghe didn’t think that just by standing there, this matter could be passed over, did she?
Didn’t she see Empress Lin’s face turning livid with anger because of her?
If she didn’t see her son today, she wouldn’t let it go.
Li Qinghe narrowed her eyes and could only swallow her anger and say, “Alright!”
“Then let’s go.”
Seeing Li Qinghe finally nod in agreement, Empress Lin’s livid face gradually improved, and she followed Li Qinghe towards Qihua Hall.
“Princess, should we go along and take a look?”
Yin Xin, who never minded watching the excitement, watched Empress Lin leave with Li Qinghe and asked Li Xuanyue beside her.
It would be a pity to miss such a good show.
Li Xuanyue looked down at Yin Xin. “You want to go?”
Yin Xin nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice. “Yes!”
Li Xuanyue curled her lips meaningfully. “Then This Palace will satisfy you?”
And incidentally satisfy her own desire to torment Li Qinghe.
After all, Li Qinghe had dug quite a few pits for her before.
Now seeing the other party having no time to deal with her because of the Second Prince of the Snake Clan.
She was quite happy in her heart.
The road to Qihua Hall was dead silent.
Even though the surrounding scenery was beautiful and the peach blossoms were blooming brightly, no one appreciated them.
Li Qinghe’s heart was beating like a drum at this moment, “thump, thump, thump” incessantly.
And Ruyue, who had been following her, had disappeared at some point.
Empress Lin frowned. “Why is this place so far from the Hall of Central Harmony?”
Empress Lin’s words seemed to be a complaint about where Jun Mo lived.
But in reality, it was various dissatisfactions with Li Qinghe as a person.
Li Qinghe had been subservient for years, immersed among these powerful people; how could she not hear the meaning in Empress Lin’s words?
Her face was flushed, and she kept her eyes lowered without answering.
But in her heart, because of Empress Lin’s pickiness, she marked this debt against Jun Mo.
Empress Lin couldn’t stay in the Phoenix Clan forever.
Even if she had the courage to take Jun Mo away.
But a man pregnant with a Phoenix Clan child was destined to have this stain in his life.
Which woman of the Hundred Clans would choose to marry a man who had given birth?
Thinking about it was terrifying.
It was precisely because Li Qinghe saw through this.
That she repeatedly endured in front of Empress Lin.
She wanted to see to what extent this Empress Lin could make things difficult for her.
Li Qinghe’s silence made Empress Lin glance at her a few more times.
Li Qinghe didn’t speak, looking cold and aloof, quite like a lady from a noble family. If she weren’t a princess of the Phoenix Clan, she could have let her be a concubine for her son.
What a pity!
Empress Lin’s eyes darkened.
This bitch let her son get pregnant with her child.
Just for this point, Empress Lin wouldn’t accept Li Qinghe.
Before long, the group arrived outside Qihua Hall.
At this moment, Ruyue walked out from inside the hall.
“Greetings to the Snake Empress, greetings to the Princess!”
She bowed respectfully to Li Qinghe and Empress Lin.
While constantly signaling Li Qinghe with her eyes.
Seeing this, Li Qinghe understood everything in her heart.
Ruyue had already prepared everything for her in advance.
Her heart, which had been hanging in mid-air, finally relaxed.
“Snake Empress, please!”
She smiled and made an inviting gesture towards Empress Lin with great poise.
Empress Lin glanced at her lightly.
She didn’t understand what medicine Li Qinghe was selling in her gourd.
The look of facing a formidable enemy just now had been seen by Empress Lin all along.
Therefore, Empress Lin was convinced from the bottom of her heart that she must have treated her son badly.
Now her generous appearance made Empress Lin suspicious.
Could her expression be related to the maid who just came out?
Empress Lin’s eyes shifted; she hadn’t missed the scene of Ruyue coming out of Qihua Hall just now.
For someone in her high position, the other party’s every move just now was seen by her.
She couldn’t have missed it.
Li Qinghe suddenly showing a relaxed look must be because of this maid.
Empress Lin’s sharp eyes constantly scanned Ruyue and Li Qinghe.
