Chapter 2139: First Her Man, Then the Emperor 1

After all, she was a person who had been hiding in the harem for many years. Concubine Qi was not like Concubine Lan, who was peacefully sent to the cold palace to wait for death.

Before the imperial edict came down, there was a fuss in Emperor Xia Liang's study room.

Although she has been relegated to the cold palace, she is still a noble concubine. In the eyes of outsiders, she is the emperor's woman and cannot be touched.

The guards were afraid to stop her even if they wanted to, and because she was the prime minister's daughter, they were even more timid and retreated.

"Let her come in." A majestic voice came from the imperial study.

The guards breathed a sigh of relief and moved out of the way.

Concubine Qi straightened her messy bun, straightened her appearance, and went in with her head held high.

It's ironic to say that after five years in the palace, this was the first time she had stepped into the royal study, the first time she had come face to face with her nominal husband.

Is there anyone more miserable than her?

I almost forgot, there are really other concubines in the harem, they have never even seen what the emperor looks like.

What a sad group of women, following this unkind and unjust emperor.

Her heart ached, but Concubine Qi tried her best to put on her best smile.

After all, this was her first official meeting with him, so she wanted to leave a good impression.

Her beauty is actually not inferior to Xia Weibao's, but it's a pity that the man in front of her doesn't even look at her.

Lu Hualiang sat behind the dragon case, concentrating on reading the book without raising his head, "What's the matter?"

There was a hint of hurt in Concubine Qi's eyes. She had been his concubine for five years, but he had never fulfilled the responsibilities of a husband. Now he didn't even want to look at her.

She loves him so much.

Taking a deep breath, Concubine Qi defended herself, "Your Majesty, I am unjustly accused."

"What's the injustice?" Lu Hualiang's tone was indifferent, without any emotion.

Concubine Qi burst into tears immediately, "Your Majesty, I did not murder the Queen. I was wronged. The scene was too chaotic. All the sisters were there, pushing and shoving. I was the first to be escorted out of the pavilion. , How can I be my concubine? Your Majesty, I have been wronged. You have to make the decision for me."

Lu Hualiang frowned, seeming a little displeased, "I call myself the concubine, and I am the queen. Please don't mention it again in the future."

Except for Xia Weibao, anyone who said this self-identification in front of him felt disgusted.

Concubine Qi stiffened, "Concubine..."

Lu Hua raised his head coolly, his sharp eyes filled with absolute zero-degree coldness, which frightened Concubine Qi so much that all her voice was stuck in her throat.

It wasn't until Lu Hualiang turned his attention back to the memorial that her body relaxed.

Only then did he realize that his back was already wet with cold sweat from the fright.

She trembled her lips, "Your Majesty, I am really not a minister...I, I was wronged. Please be aware of this. You can't convict me without asking."

The situation was chaotic at that time, and anyone could take action, and maybe the Queen could take action herself, trying to frame me with a cruel trick..."

When Xia Weibao was mentioned, Lu Hualiang finally had some reaction. He raised his head and said, "So what."

"What?" Concubine Qi didn't quite understand what he meant.

"I believe in the queen. Not to mention that she didn't do this. Even if she did, it's already your fault if she needs to frame you. Come and drag her out."

Concubine Qi was dragged away in despair. Looking at the man behind the Long case, her eyes were full of hurt.

It was already their fault that Xia Weibao needed to frame them. It turned out that in his eyes, their existence was a mistake.
