After the banquet, Luo Qin'er did not leave with the other women in Qingchengfang, but was left in the palace by Concubine Shu. Of course, Concubine Shu had her own plans, and of course she would not leave her in her palace.
, but sent her to a place specially designed to perform dances for palace banquets.
After Murong Xi entered the house, he took Aunt Yu into the house, and then asked: "Aunt Yu, what do you think of the woman who performed the dance today?"
Aunt Yu knew that Murong Xi was referring to the woman who had just imitated Jiutian Xuannv, so she said: "Princess, I don't know, if this woman is only sixty-seven points similar to the Queen, the emperor would not be like this. But, she was at that time
Her dancing posture is exactly the same as that of the Empress. Also, the aura around her. Her temperament, expression, and appearance are all similar to those of the Empress. That’s why the Emperor is so rude."
The emperor is not a lecherous person, so how could he be so rude when meeting a woman? Only the empress would make the emperor lose his mind, so Aunt Yu wanted to say that this woman seemed to be deliberately arranged to be by the emperor's side.
"Mo'er, ask Rushi to send someone to investigate and find out where she came from." Murong Xi said calmly. It was obvious that someone sent this woman to her father. With such an appearance and such a temperament, it was clear that
It's a matter of good intention.
At this time, Concubine Shu was beside the emperor and said softly: "Your Majesty, do you miss the Queen?"
Murong Yu looked at Concubine Shu, but nodded without saying anything.
But Concubine Shu continued: "Your Majesty, the woman today really scared me. If it weren't for this woman's age, I really thought it was the queen who had returned."
"Oh, it would be great if it really was Jin'er." The emperor murmured.
"Your Majesty, I made my own decision and left this woman in the palace. If Your Majesty misses the Queen's sister, you can ask her to dance for Your Majesty at any time." Concubine Shu said virtuously.
"Why are you bothering? Besides, did this girl stay voluntarily?" The emperor knew that it was not difficult to keep someone, but he didn't want to force anyone.
"Your Majesty, my concubine didn't come to ask questions. It's just one night tonight and your Majesty can bring her to you tomorrow to ask in person. If she doesn't want to, your Majesty will grant her a free life." Concubine Shu continued.
"It's better to use Yun'er's method. I'll ask her clearly tomorrow. If she doesn't want to stay in Qingchengfang, I will find a way to arrange a good identity for her. She looks so much like Jin'er. After all, it's fate." The emperor said slowly.
said.
That night, the emperor's dreams were all filled with the shadow of Yuan Jin'er.
On the second day, after the emperor's morning court, he went to the Biyun Palace of Concubine Shu. When Concubine Shu saw her Majesty coming, she asked people to bring Luo Qin'er in.
"The daughter of the common people has met Your Majesty." Luo Qin'er bowed and knelt there, not daring to get up.
"Get up and talk." From the moment Luo Qin'er walked in, the emperor's eyes never left.
This woman's appearance is not 100% like Jin'er's, but her temperament is very similar. Even her expressions and small movements when she speaks are as if they were carved out of the same mold.
"Do you still remember where your hometown is?" the emperor asked.
"Both of her parents died when the girl was five years old, and she no longer remembers where her hometown is. If her mother hadn't written a note with Qing'er's birthday and put it in her arms, Qing'er wouldn't even know her birth date.
"Yeah." Luo Qin'er replied cautiously.
"Have you been dancing in Qingchengfang?" the emperor asked.
Yes, common girls have been taught how to dance by their mothers since they were sensible." Luo Qin'er said.
"Concubine Shu, do you have any complaints about leaving you in the palace?" the emperor continued to ask.
"Back to the emperor, Qin'er knows that her status is humble and it is inappropriate to stay in the palace. Qin'er wants to ask the emperor to let Qin'er out of the palace." Luo Qin'er knelt down again and said.
The emperor blinked and then asked: "Who said your status is humble? If you want to stay, no one will make irresponsible remarks. Besides, staying in the palace to practice dancing is not as good as Qingchengfang."
Okay? But I want to ask you the truth, do you really want to return to Qingchengfang?"
However, Luo Qin'er seemed to be frightened, kneeling on the ground unable to get up, and her body was still shaking a little.
The emperor saw Luo Qin'er's exposed arms, stepped forward to help her up, and then pulled her sleeves open. Luo Qin'er panicked and quickly stepped back and said, "Your Majesty."
What the emperor saw was that her arms were covered with scars. He raised his head and asked, "What's going on?"
Luo Qin'er didn't dare to say anything and could only lower her head.
"Say, I will make the decision for you!" the emperor said with some inexplicable anger.
In his eyes, this woman is like Jin'er, no one can treat her like this.
"It really doesn't matter if you're a civilian girl. Please calm down, Your Majesty." Luo Qin'er said softly.
"Why didn't you tell me?" the emperor continued to ask.
Facing the emperor's questioning, Luo Qin'er never let go. She looked at the emperor stubbornly, obviously feeling wronged and scared. Tears were rolling in her eyes, but she tried her best not to let them flow down. The emperor saw this in his eyes.
, it’s simply a replica of Jin’er.
At first, Jin'er was injured and was punished by the Prime Minister's wife. When he asked Jin'er, Jin'er also looked like this.
When the emperor saw that she still didn't say anything, he said, "Since you don't say anything, then just stay in the palace."
"Your Majesty doesn't want it," the daughter said. Luo Qin'er had no choice but to tell what happened.
It turns out that Qingchengfang is a place where dancers are trained, but they only sell their skills and not their bodies. However, after a performance, Luo Qin'er was favored by a young master, and he negotiated with the nanny to redeem her body and take it back to the house.
However, Luo Qing'er didn't agree. The young master rushed into Qingchengfang and beat her severely. He also told her that if she didn't agree, he would arrest all the women in Qingchengfang and throw them into the bandits' den.
She didn't know the origin of that young man, but she knew that he was rich and wealthy, so she didn't dare to offend him. And where was Qingchengfang? Naturally, she didn't dare to offend the guest. Besides, if nothing happened, reporting to the official was useless.
This dance performance in the palace was also Luo Qin'er's last dance performance. Because, for the safety of her other sisters, she had promised the young master to follow her back. If she stayed in the palace, she was afraid that the young master would really do it.
Send the sisters from Qingchengfang to the bandits' den.
After the emperor heard this, he sat aside with an expressionless expression. Concubine Shu knew that the emperor was angry because such a bully would appear in a place like the capital. It was simply lawless.
"Do you still remember that man's appearance?" The emperor looked at Luo Qin'er with pity and said.
"Of course civilian girls will remember." Luo Qin'er replied.
"Well, you will draw his appearance in a moment. Also, from today on, you don't have to practice dancing. You can stay in the Yangxin Hall." The emperor said slowly.
"Your Majesty, you don't want to harm the sisters in Qingchengfang." Luo Qin'er said sadly.
"Didn't I ask you to draw a portrait of that man? I will send people to capture him, don't worry. He can't move any of your sisters. But, are you willing to stay?" The emperor asked again
Read it again.
He hoped that Luo Qin'er would sincerely stay, instead of being forced by him.
"A civilian girl is willing to be a slave and a maidservant, and serve the emperor in the palace for the rest of her life. I am grateful to the emperor for his great kindness." Luo Qin'er said gratefully.
The emperor frowned and didn't say anything. He just waved his hands and asked her to follow him. He was going to the Yangxin Hall.
Luo Qin'er followed the emperor, looked at Concubine Shu meaningfully, then turned around and followed the emperor with her head lowered.
In the Yangxin Hall, after Luo Qin'er finished painting the portrait, the emperor immediately summoned the young minister of Dali Temple to handle the matter.
Ningxidian
"Miss, I heard that last night Concubine Shu saw that this woman looked very much like the Queen, so she left the dancer named Luo Qin'er from Qingchengfang alone." Mo'er said.
"Have they met?" Murong Xi asked.
"No, I heard that Concubine Shu sent this girl to the palace maid who danced with her. However, early this morning, the emperor summoned her in the Biyun Palace." Mo'er said softly.
"Father summoned her? Do you know what was said?" Murong Xi asked in confusion.
"Miss, that's what she said." The emperor left a dancing girl in the Yangxin Palace, and the news had already spread throughout the palace. Therefore, Mo'er also heard about it in the Imperial Garden, so there was no need to pry. Then
, she told everything that happened in Biyun Palace.
"Haha, where did this Luo Qin'er come from? Send someone to Qingchengfang to find out. No, in a few days, I will go there myself." This woman's appearance was too weird.
But that face...could it be that he was also in disguise like hers? If it was disguise, why not make it exactly the same?
"Mo'er, let our people keep an eye on Biyun Palace." Murong Xi always felt that there was something wrong with Concubine Shu, but she never let anyone keep an eye on her. But at the palace banquet last night, she discovered that Concubine Shu seemed to want her to be raped by Nan.
It was as if the third prince of Zhao Kingdom was taken away. She was very curious as to what secret Concubine Shu had hidden.
"Yes." Mo'er said slowly.
"By the way, miss, the woman followed the emperor to the Yangxin Hall. After drawing a portrait, the emperor summoned the young minister of Dali Temple. It seems that the matter has been handed over to the young minister of Dali Temple." Mo'er said softly.
"Well, it seems that my father attaches great importance to that Luo Qin'er. I can't intervene in this matter head-on, but it's better to investigate it secretly first." Murong Xi wanted to investigate first and then find out what the purpose of this woman was.
What is it? She is afraid that this woman is a spy sent by Nanzhao Kingdom. What if something happens to her father?
"Alas, the palace has finally calmed down, but someone is going to make trouble again." Mo'er has had enough of staying in the harem and wants to leave here with the young lady as soon as possible.
I finally took care of Yuanhuang’s noble concubine, but I still can’t leave. It’s really frustrating.
"Do you think I am willing to stay? Someone around my father poisoned him, and the poison on Feng Mingye has not been resolved. Now there is another Luo Qin'er, and my head is getting big." Murong Xi said.
You should be annoyed to death by these nonsense.
It would be very frustrating to think of her as a powerful poison doctor and killer being trapped in the palace.
Who knows, at this moment Rushi walked in excitedly and said, "Miss, what do you think happened?"
