Chapter 497: Humiliation of position?
An Qianning held on to her body, but she was tortured to the point of having no strength left.
"Your Majesty, it's not Qian Ning. Qian Ning has been brought up by her father since she was a child. How could she do such a shameless thing? There must be someone who wants to frame Qian Ning. I beg Your Majesty to investigate this matter and give Qian Ning justice."
Xie Yu looked at An Qian, no longer as warm and gentle as when they first met, and even his eyes were filled with disgust and impatience.
If any other woman dared to plot against him like this, she would have been dragged out and executed long ago.
He was concerned about their relationship, but Qian Ning was still arguing that it was not her who did it.
Xie Yu's eyes became colder and colder, and he sneered.
"Qian Ning, what do you want me to know? Tonight, apart from the banquet, you are the only one who has used my body. Who would go to so much trouble to plan this? Could it be that it is just to make me favor you?"
An Qianning was speechless again
She bit her lip and said, "Your Majesty, have you ever thought that it was the Empress? The Empress didn't want Qian Ning to enter the palace, so she..."
not finished yet
The palace door was pushed open
Lin Junxue came in with Danzhen, and Gao Cheng followed behind them.
Her sudden appearance surprised Xie Yu and An Qianning in the hall.
The air in the hall is filled with an ambiguous atmosphere
Bed
An Qian's twisted expression proved how intense this night was.
Seeing Lin Junxue coming, Xie Yu unconsciously felt guilty.
An Qianning didn't expect that Lin Junxue would see her in her most embarrassing state.
She quickly pulled the quilt over her body, trying to cover the marks on her body.
But no matter how much she tried to hide it, she couldn't hide her embarrassment at the moment.
Xie Yu touched his nose
"Queen, you are here"
Lin Junxue was still dressed the same as last night. She walked in step by step.
He glanced around the hall and then looked away.
She looked at Xie Yu, with a clear flash of hurt and sadness in her eyes.
"Your Majesty, I have been here for a while. I wanted to wait outside for Your Majesty to come out, but I heard Miss An suspected that what happened last night was my doing. Gao Cheng has already told me what happened last night. Your Majesty was drugged. Now the effect of the drug has worn off. Is your body okay? The imperial physician is waiting outside. Please take Your Majesty's pulse later."
Lin Junxue is like a modern first wife at this moment. She is caught cheating in bed, but she still cares about the man's health and handles the rest of the affairs of the mistress and the fourth wife.
The only difference is that this person was sent to Xie Yu by Lin Junxue herself.
Gao Cheng sighed in his heart, no wonder the Queen is so favored, look at how thoughtful and generous she is, if he were the Emperor, he would also be willing to favor the Queen.
Xie Yu's heart moved slightly, and his eyes were completely different from the way he looked at An Qianning just now.
When he looked at Lin Junxue, he was full of tenderness.
"Queen, I was drugged last night, otherwise I would not have touched Qian Ning. I knew you would understand me."
Lin Junxue nodded, looking at Xie Yu with sadness in her eyes, but more of concern.
"Your Majesty, I know that you are fine."
After Lin Junxue finished speaking, she looked at An Qianning, who was pale on the bed, with a look of majesty like a queen.
"Just now, I heard Miss An say that she suspected that I had schemed against you. It's a good opportunity for me to confront Miss An face to face."
An Qianning's face changed slightly, and she gritted her teeth.
At this moment, Lin Junxue's gaze made her feel uneasy.
"Empress, I just suspect that you don't want me to enter the palace..."
Lin Junxue smiled slightly and said, "Miss An, who told you that I don't want you to enter the palace?"
An Qian's expression froze, as if he had been cast under a spell, his entire body was frozen.
Queen, what does this mean?
Xie Yu shouted angrily
"Enough of your nonsense. The Queen has discussed with me two days ago that you will be given a title after you return to the palace this time. The Queen even wants to give you the last position of the four concubines. It is I who thinks it is inappropriate and wants to give you a concubine title like I did back then. An Qianning, you suspect that the Queen drugged me. It is simply ridiculous."
An Qianning's face seemed to have lost all its color and turned as pale as paper.
There was an expression of disbelief and astonishment in his bright eyes, and his slightly opened lips seemed to want to say something, but no sound came out.
Lin Junxue looked at Xie Yu and shook her head slightly, feeling very aggrieved.
Lin Junxue’s grievances were the final weapon to provoke Xie Yu.
"Forget it, Your Majesty, it's good for you to know what kind of person I am."
Lin Junxue looked at the speechless An Qianning again.
"Okay, Miss An, I am not willing to pursue your suspicion of me for the sake of my mother. Now that things have come to this, the emperor will definitely confer the title on you, but..."
An Qianning looked at Lin Junxue's expression and felt bad.
Next second
Lin Junxue had a blank expression on her face and continued, "However, although I don't mind your slander, Miss An, I am the queen, the mother of a country, and you definitely cannot slander me like this. In this case, you are not worthy of the position of concubine for the time being. Noble lady, I think you are just right, so I will confer you the title of Noble Lady An."
Lin Junxue turned to look at Xie Yu, her expression revealing a bit of stubbornness.
"Your Majesty, do you think that the position I have been given is appropriate?"
If the drugging incident had not happened last night, Xie Yu would never have let An Qianning be just a small benefactor.
This not only slapped Anshan in the face, but also completely disregarded the Queen Mother's face.
But after what happened last night, Xie Yu is now full of disappointment towards An Qianning.
Furthermore, An Qianning slandered Lin Junxue, so Xie Yu naturally couldn't bear to see Lin Junxue suffer any injustice.
Bed
An Qianning's slender fingers tightly grasped the snow-white bed sheet, as if she wanted to tear it apart.
Her fingertips turned white and the joints were slightly raised from the excessive force.
At the same time, her eyes were fixed on Xie Yu and Lin Junxue, with bloodshot eyes.
There is a breath of despair and unwillingness
At this moment, An Qian still has a hope in his heart.
No matter what, the emperor just had her for one night, and he would not humiliate her with the title of noble lady.
But she didn't understand, how could the man recognize her after he had pulled up his pants?
for a while
Xie Yu glanced at An Qianning and said, "Just listen to the Queen. Pass on my order to confer the title of An Qianning as Lady An and let her live in Changchun Palace."
As soon as this word comes out
An Qianning's face completely lost the last bit of color.
Noble person?
She planned like this, but why did it end up like this?
When she entered the palace, her position was just that of a noble?
Lin Junxue retracted her gaze
"Your Majesty, I cannot get used to the smell in this palace. I will return to my tent first."
Xie Yu quickly said, "I will go back with you."
Lin Junxue and Xie Yu left. Before leaving, they glanced at An Qianning casually.
Wait until the two of them leave
An Qianning finally couldn't hold it in any longer, and her tears flowed like a broken string.
Qiu Er came in
"Miss, you..."
An Qian twisted and slowly raised her eyes. It seemed as if there was a trapped beast hidden in her eyes, struggling ferociously and helplessly.
His eyes were filled with despair and unwillingness
Qiu'er had never seen An Qianning like this before, and for a moment, she was so scared that she didn't dare to go forward.
