12. No extravagant thoughts
As soon as Qi Ye came out of court, Eunuch Li immediately approached to report. After hearing this, he frowned slightly, then relaxed, revealing an interesting smile.
When Xuedie returned to Lingyun Palace, all the palace maids were shocked. She actually came back. It was so unexpected that she came back safely from Concubine Ling's palace.
"Xuedie, you haven't had breakfast yet. I'll get it for you." The palace maid Xiaolian said immediately. She was favored by the king last night and is safe and sound today. It seems that she wants to fawn over her.
"Xuedie, are you tired? If you are, take a rest." Everyone began to greet her.
"Thank you everyone, no, I'll wait." She said with a smile, how could she not understand what they were thinking.
After breakfast, Xuedie thought about it carefully. What happened last night was so sudden that she didn't understand it. Just now, she was in Concubine Ling's palace and wanted to protect herself. She suddenly understood something.
.
The king only met her once, and he favored her by force. It seemed that she was not vain, but she came to serve the king.
If he disliked her so much, he could have transferred her away. Also, what he said in the morning was clearly waiting for him to be executed by Concubine Ling. What was his intention?
Concubine Ling is the biological sister of the General Wang Ru. Over the years, the General has followed Wang in the east and west, and she has made great contributions. I heard that once, the General fought bloody battles and finally killed the opponent violently.
He stayed, but he came back victoriously with a dozen soldiers covered in blood.
King Xia valued and trusted him very much, so he also loved Concubine Ling very much. He left the management of the harem to her, and even though she was arrogant and jealous, he turned a blind eye.
Therefore, Concubine Ling has obviously been arrogant in the past two years. She used to be restrained, but now she seems to be a bit unscrupulous. Otherwise, how could she dare to beat Ziyi to death under the king's eyes.
But, is the king really turning a blind eye? I'm afraid not, because the general has to be estimated. Is he deliberately creating opportunities for Concubine Ling to cause her to arouse public anger, so that he can take the opportunity to have an attack?
If this is the case, he is too smart and too dark. However, regardless of her own affairs, what she has to do is to steadily save her own life without being arrogant or impetuous.
When she walked in with tea, she saw Wang sitting there looking at her with a smile but not a smile.
"King, please have some tea." She walked over and handed the tea to him in a nonchalant manner.
Qi Ye did not take the tea, but looked at her, "You came back safe and sound. It seems that Wang underestimated you."
"This servant doesn't understand what the king is saying." She pretended to be stupid.
"Tell me, how did you ask Concubine Ling to let you go?" He changed the topic and his eyes became much sharper.
"The king is worrying too much. The queen has not done anything to the slave. Maybe it is because the slave does not pose a threat to the queen at all, so the queen is very relieved." She lowered her head and returned.
Huh, he sneered, staring at her with eyes as fierce as an eagle, as if he wanted to see through her.
"The king only gives you a chance now, you should know how to answer?"
"King." Xuedie knelt down, "I don't dare to hide anything from the king. I just told the empress. I don't have any wrongdoing in being humble. However, there will never be a shortage of women around the king. Concubine Ling is smart.
She was smart, so she let the slave go, and the slave also asked the king to spare the slave, but the slave only wanted to serve Wang, and had no intention of breaking up."
"You are smart. Now it seems that you are smarter and smarter. Not bad." Qi Ye seemed very satisfied and took a sip of tea.
