Jiu Ge’s Beloved Spirit

Two days later, Yun Si returned to the palace.

After returning to the palace, Yun Si heard some exciting news——

Empress Qingluan, who had the same status as a queen in the harem, was caught stealing people.

It was a big deal for the imperial concubine to steal someone, and it was even more embarrassing for the royal family. Logically speaking, the palace should try their best to cover it up and prevent the news from spreading.

But for some reason, the news seemed to have grown wings. Overnight, everyone in the palace knew about it.

Then, within a day, the news spread throughout the streets outside the palace.

The storytellers in the teahouse and restaurant were almost crazy with excitement, adding all sorts of exaggerations and telling the story vividly.

For a time, the once-famous imperial concubine became an idle item that people talked about after dinner.

Like a rat crossing the street, she has become a bitch despised by everyone. Everyone can spit or curse her when talking about her.

No pity at all.

Yun Si knew about this because she listened to the eunuchs in the palace.

When she heard this, she was a little surprised.

After all, Lin Qingluan is a noble concubine, so stealing someone is a bit too...

But if you think about it more carefully, you can understand why she stole someone.

The emperor had been ill in bed for a long time and had long lost the ability to favor his concubines. Lin Qingluan was still young and had been living in the palace for many years, so naturally he was lonely and unbearable.

Not only her, but many concubines in the harem were secretly having affairs with the guards, and these palace people knew it privately.

Chu Ling, who controlled the palace inside and outside, must have known it, but because it did not involve his interests, he turned a blind eye and ignored it.

Unexpectedly, Lin Qingluan overturned the car this time.

Yun Si had a gut feeling that this matter might have something to do with her, so when Chu Ling came back from discussing politics, she asked him.

"Your Highness... went to that tea house a few days ago, right?"

Chu Ling glanced at her, "Have you heard the news?"

Yun Si nodded, "They said that Queen Qingluan was stealing someone outside the palace and was caught on the spot."

Thinking back to the note she got a few days ago, she speculated that Lin Qingluan might have been caught in the teahouse.

Apart from the emperor, he was the only one who could catch her red-handed.

Chu Ling said nothing, as if in acquiescence.

Yun Si looked at him, "Your Highness...what are you going to do this time? Are you going to put Empress Qingluan in the cold palace or..."

Chu Ling raised his eyebrows and said, "Be thrown into the cold palace?"

The little fool is really...

simple.

He laughed, his phoenix eyes dark, "Fornication in the harem is a capital crime, and no one is immune."

He gently touched her head, his palms warm and dry, as if he were touching an ignorant child.

He leaned forward slightly, looked at her deeply, and spoke softly.

"My father hates betrayal. Since he betrayed me, he must die as an apology."

"dont you agree?"

"..." The beautiful person in front of him looked at him and blinked slightly.

His tone was too gentle, but it was like a gentle knife that cut ice into the bones.

Between the lines, it seems to be talking about Lin Qingluan, but it seems that there are other metaphorical meanings.

The extremely dark eyes stared at her, as if they were smiling, but not like they were smiling.

It causes cardiac arrest and some people dare not breathe.

He's clearly a lunatic.

If he finds that someone has betrayed him, he will——

Yun Si felt a little chill in her back for no reason.

It's freezing cold.

It was obvious that he was touching her head gently, but the feeling...

Her eyes trembled, and she swallowed, "Then... then how will His Highness... deal with betrayers?"
