Chapter 273 There’s Something Wrong with This Eunuch (29)
"The hostess is dead."
Tiao Tiao said this very calmly.
Sang Tian was stunned for a moment when she heard the news but soon recovered.
She knew it was Xu Zijie's doing without any explanation. No one else in the entire palace would do such a thing except him.
Ever since Tinghua died, Cheng Qian has also gone crazy.
The once glorious general turned into a madman whom everyone in the capital wanted to avoid overnight.
Xu Zijie no longer avoided the matter between him and Sang Tian, and even dared to secretly touch Sang Tian in front of the emperor.
At the Emperor's Dragon Birthday, he stood directly beside Sang Tian and stared at her intently.
In a place where no one could see, the big hand hidden by the wide sleeves tightly grasped Sang Tian's white and tender little hand.
His fingertips gently stroked across her palm, causing her to tremble.
Sang Tian was already stunningly beautiful, and her every move was full of charm. Even when she was staring at Xu Zijie, her eyes were filled with affection.
Except for the emperor, almost everyone present kept their eyes on Sang Tian, but they were soon scared away by another pair of dangerous eyes.
The emperor sitting on the dragon throne was controlled by Qinglian in his arms like a puppet.
Qinglian seemed to be interacting with the emperor all the time, but in fact she was observing the situation on Sang Tian's side.
Especially when she saw Xu Zijie picking up food for Sang Tian with a doting look on his face, she could hardly hide the jealousy in her eyes.
She didn't understand why she was the one who had always been with her master, but the person her master fell in love with was just a pretty vase.
The most important thing is that she is a woman who has been touched by the emperor.
Qinglian clenched her hands on her legs, and the nail polish-painted nails pierced deeply into her palms.
Maybe her gaze was too strong. Although Xu Zijie's eyes were on Sang Tian, his handsome brows were furrowed.
Ying Yu, who was standing in the dark, immediately moved behind the dragon throne and stared at Qinglian.
Qinglian, who noticed Ying Yu, was frightened by him.
She knew that Xu Zijie was unhappy.
Ying Yu signaled her with his eyes to get off the old emperor's lap. Qinglian's expression did not change at all and she followed Ying Yu away obediently.
In a deserted place, Ying Yu suddenly turned around and slapped Qinglian in the face with his fan.
Although Qinglian was knocked back a few steps, she still stood firmly. Her pretty face soon became red and swollen, and blood slowly flowed from the corner of her mouth.
"Qinglian, have you forgotten what the master said? Why don't you put away your dirty thoughts and make the master unhappy? Don't forget that if it weren't for the master, you would be nothing more than a prostitute selling your body."
Ying Yu stopped and took a step forward, holding Qing Lian's chin and lifting her head, his eyes cold, "You don't think the master needs a chess piece like you, do you?"
Qinglian, who had originally had no expression on his face, began to look a little distorted when he heard what Yingyu said.
How could she not know?
The most numerous people in the entire palace were Xu Zijie's pawns. The important ministers around the emperor were all his people.
If she hadn't been good at witchcraft, Xu Zijie would never have kept her by his side.
Qinglian took a deep breath and slowly closed her eyes. A tear rolled down the corner of her eye. She did not explain to Yingyu but turned and left.
Now that Qinglian is no longer by the old emperor's side, there will soon be another beautiful concubine sitting by his side and serving him.
Li Hu, who was sitting below, saw Sang Tian playing with Xu Zijie and almost died on the spot.
