Chapter 327: Chapter 327 Embarrassing
"Emperor, Emperor?"
She called out with a trembling voice.
She couldn’t believe that the man who was tender with her last night could be so cruel to her today.
Nan Shi, holding back his anger, got up to dress, then roared outside, "Qinglin, get in here now!"
Eunuch Qinglin, as if he had anticipated this, entered briskly as soon as he opened the door.
When someone entered, the Green Concubine let out a scream, then quickly covered her body tightly with the quilt.
"I am still here, you get out, get out!"
She shouted sharply, not realizing Nan Shi’s expression was growing even darker.
Qinglin didn’t even glance at the Green Concubine; he walked straight up to Nan Shi and then backed away.
"What on earth is going on? She’s the Green Concubine, why didn’t you stop this?"
Nan Shi asked Qinglin furiously.
"Your Majesty, last night I had advised you, I had said that she was not the Empress, but you didn’t believe me, Your Majesty, and even chased me out," Qinglin replied, standing tall, his voice calm.
He spoke evenly, without a trace of self-pity.
Yet his demeanor was clearly accusatory.
Nan Shi staggered.
Was it really him... who mistook the Green Concubine for the Empress?
His mind flickered, and more memories began to clarify.
His heart trembled.
Because he finally remembered everything about last night.
It was indeed he who mistook the Green Concubine for the Empress.
"How dare you impersonate the Empress?"
Nan Shi turned his head, looking at the Green Concubine with eyes full of murderous intent.
He wished he could kill her right then and there.
After Mingmeng’s death, he vowed never to touch another woman of the harem.
And how dare the Green Concubine...
How dare she impersonate Mingmeng?
She was defiling Mingmeng’s pride!
Nan Shi’s chest ached, he wished he could die immediately and explain everything to Mingmeng.
Seeing Nan Shi’s murderous intent, the Green Concubine was also very anxious.
At the same time, resentment began to build in her heart.
The deed was done, why should the Emperor be so angry?
That wretched woman had been dead for so many years!
The Emperor is the Son of Heaven, the most honored person in the Nanduan Kingdom—who he favors should not be constrained by a dead wretch, should it?
But these were thoughts she dared not voice.
Don’t panic, Nanny Liu had already advised her.
She had the Tenth Prince and her family’s support.
Most importantly, the Emperor was a man of soft heart—he certainly wouldn’t kill her.
With this in mind, the Green Concubine gradually calmed down.
She quickly began to speak in a feigned weak tone, "Your Majesty, I did it out of too much love and concern for you, that’s why I thought of this. When the Empress sister was alive, she hoped we would serve you well. Now that she has been gone for many years, we can’t bear to see you in continuous pain..."
"So last night, I boldly pretended to be my sister to see you. Many times, in my dreams, I saw her; sister said she hoped you could move on from her death, and she earnestly begged me to take good care of you..."
"I knew you would be furious, but I couldn’t bear the thought of sister being uneasy even in death. If Your Majesty wishes to blame someone for this, please don’t blame my sister, it’s all my foolishness. I shall die to atone for my sin. And once I am down there, I will explain everything to my sister."
With tears in her eyes, the Green Concubine then wrapped herself in the quilt and rushed towards a nearby pillar.
Nanny Liu had said, this move was to advance by (seeming to) retreat.
Indeed, just as she was about to crash into the pillar, Nan Shi moved, and a pillow flew over, knocking her off course.
She fell to the ground, and although her knees hurt a bit, but...
The Emperor has become soft-hearted.
She bowed her head, the corners of her mouth secretly curling into a smile.
This move by Nanny Liu is really effective.
Watching the scene unfold, Eunuch Qinglin saw how the Emperor was both angry and confused. There was nothing he did not understand.
There never should have been talk of ghosts and spirits in this world.
But Empress Jiang was a demon in the Emperor’s heart.
He probably believed what Consort Qing said about the Empress visiting him in his dreams.
When the Empress was still alive, every time the Emperor visited her palace, she would indifferently suggest the Emperor go to the other concubines’ palaces.
Everyone said she was very magnanimous.
But who knew the bitterness in her heart?
She had resisted before, when the Emperor was pressured by the court officials to select new consorts during the draft.
She knelt at the entrance of the Imperial Study, pleading with the Emperor not to let those women enter the palace.
But the Emperor replied, "Mingmeng, I... have no other choice."
With those words, the Empress got up and staggered back to her own palace.
The next day, she went to the Empress Dowager’s palace early in the morning, saying she wanted to personally select consorts for the Emperor, the more the better, to ensure the Imperial Family would flourish.
He thought, the Empress did not die five years ago.
She probably died many years ago, the night the Emperor uttered those words.
But after her actual death, there were still people who talked about her "magnanimity."
Oddly enough, the Emperor was moved.
At that moment, Qinglin felt a pain in his chest too.
No wonder last night, the Princess was so adamant about not stopping this matter.
It turned out, the Princess had already given up on the Emperor long ago.
Seeing that the Emperor did not react for a long time, Consort Qing breathed a sigh of relief, feeling triumphant.
She knew that she had indeed overcome today’s hurdle.
Chances were, the Emperor might still soften his heart towards her.
Then, her actions in the future would be much more convenient.
She was about to open her mouth to speak to Nan Shi about the Tenth Prince.
But at that moment, a cold voice came from the doorway, "Nan Xing, throw Consort Qing out for me."
Before leaving the capital city, Chu Baihan had specifically asked Nan Xing to stay behind and help Nan Li deal with these matters.
Consort Qing had not yet reacted when she sensed someone grabbing her.
She stiffly turned her head, only to see that Nan Xing had already reached her side and was now pulling at her quilt.
"Impudent! You lowly maid, what are you doing?" Consort Qing said furiously.
She recognized Nan Xing.
How dare this lowly maid be so disrespectful to her.
"I ordered her to throw you out. Do you have an objection, Consort Qing?" Nan Li’s figure appeared before everyone soon after.
Although he was thin, the solemn aura on his face made him impossible to slight.
Many guards followed behind him.
Consort Qing was so furious that she turned red, unable to catch her breath.
What did this bastard mean by this?
Given her current appearance, if these people saw her like this, could she even live with herself?
So she quickly turned around, tears in her eyes, and in a trembling voice said to Nan Shi, "Your Majesty, your concubine does not understand why the Crown Prince is doing this to your concubine. Please send them out."
Nan Shi’s complexion also looked bad.
He knew that Nan Li must have been aware of last night’s events.
While feeling guilty, he also felt helpless.
Lili, this child, is usually so clever, but why can’t he be more flexible today?
By bringing so many people inside, wasn’t he embarrassing both him and Consort Qing?
