Chapter 207 Humiliation of Her
Lu Zhiheng walked into the hall with steady steps.
The moment I stepped inside, I could sense the tense atmosphere in the hall.
He was inwardly startled, but maintained a calm demeanor, performing the proper court etiquette between ruler and subject with neither servility nor arrogance: "I wonder what important matter Your Majesty has summoned me to Feixue Palace to discuss?"
The three were separated by a large embroidered screen, and Lu Zhiheng could only vaguely see two figures behind the screen.
He didn't look up, but waited quietly for the other person to speak.
"Lu Zhiheng, was that sorceress someone you found for my Consort Liang?"
Upon hearing the deep male voice from behind the screen, Lu Zhiheng immediately guessed what had happened.
He lowered his waist even further. "Your Majesty, I believe there are suspicious circumstances surrounding the sudden death of the late Consort Liang, so I granted her request."
"Great, you two are really good!"
Upon hearing this, Pei Yuanling slammed his hand on the table, causing the teacups to bounce several times and spilling scalding tea all over the table.
"Who gave you the audacity to use such tricks in the palace, to disrupt the inner palace with witchcraft!"
Wang was indeed the Empress of Daqing!
They even dared to lay a hand on the Empress; one day they'll surely turn on us!
Seeing his anger, Chu Qingyin knew she couldn't go against him any longer, so she immediately knelt down with a thud.
"Your Majesty, this matter was entirely caused by me and has nothing to do with Lord Lu. If you wish to punish someone, then punish me."
She tilted her head back, her expression sorrowful.
Pei Yuanling looked at Chu Qingyin kneeling on the ground, his eyes filled with a mixture of disappointment and anger. "Even now, you're still pleading for him?"
Chu Qingyin knelt and moved two steps to stand between the two of them. "This matter was originally caused by me. If I hadn't insisted on finding out the cause of the death of the late Consort in my past life, Lord Lu would not have been implicated."
Seeing her behavior, Pei Yuanling's anger intensified. "It seems I've spoiled you too much. You want me to punish you? Fine!"
He suddenly made a move, forcefully clamping the other person's chin and lifting him up.
"Since I'm going to punish you, then you'd better accept it!"
He suddenly kissed her, his kiss as fierce as a storm, devouring her lips.
Chu Qingyin's eyes widened, filled with disbelief and panic.
She instinctively tried to struggle, pushing hard against the man's chest with both hands, but his strength was astonishing, and she couldn't break free at all.
This sudden kiss seemed to be filled with anger and endless possessiveness, making Chu Qingyin almost breathless.
Hearing this sudden commotion, Lu Zhiheng, who was outside the screen, tensed up instantly.
He looked up and saw two blurry figures entangled together behind the screen.
In an instant, his eyes darkened, his hands clenched involuntarily, and veins bulged on his forehead.
Pei Yuanling actually humiliated his concubines in front of him, an outsider.
Could it be that, out of spite, he's going to put on a sex act in front of me?
Just as he was about to speak up to stop them, another noise came from behind the screen.
Pei Yuanling released Chu Qingyin.
Chu Qingyin's lips were swollen and red from the kiss, her hair was disheveled, and her eyes were filled with tears of humiliation. She staggered back a few steps, her steps hitting the table with a crisp sound, and shards of porcelain shattered all over the floor.
Her body trembled violently, and her bare feet, stepping on the shards of porcelain, instantly bled.
Pei Yuanling was completely unaware of this.
His eyes were cold as he grabbed her neck again. "What, didn't you want me to punish you? Why are you trying to hide?"
"Your Majesty, you..."
Chu Qingyin's voice trembled as she leaned against the edge of the bed, straining to keep from collapsing.
Pei Yuanling looked at her coldly, his chest still heaving violently: "If you dare to do it, you must be prepared to bear the consequences. In this palace, you are not allowed to act recklessly."
After saying that, he forcefully threw her onto the bed, his movements rough, and he reached out to tear off her clothes.
"do not want!"
Chu Qingyin fell heavily onto the bed with a muffled groan.
Her limbs were scattered by the violent movement, her eyes were filled with fear and despair, and tears streamed uncontrollably down her cheeks.
"Please don't do this, Lord Lu is still here..."
She struggled, but the two were ultimately outmatched in strength.
Chu Qingyin was firmly pinned to the bed. Just as the other person's hand was about to slip inside her clothes, her pupils suddenly contracted. With a strength she didn't know she had, she actually pushed him away!
Pei Yuanling slammed his back against the carved wooden bed, letting out a muffled groan of pain.
The next instant, a crisp slap rang out.
"Snapped--"
Pei Yuanling turned his head to the side after being slapped, and a five-finger mark quickly appeared on his face.
He turned his head in disbelief, staring intently at the other person, his eyes burning with fury. "How dare you hit me?"
"Pei Yuanling, you have disappointed me greatly!"
Chu Qingyin hurriedly straightened her disheveled clothes, didn't look at the other person again, tightened her collar and ran out.
As soon as she stepped out from behind the screen, she met Lu Zhiheng's dark eyes.
She opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing more.
Once she was out of sight, Lu Zhiheng immediately knelt down, his usually composed voice carrying a hint of anger.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty and beg Your Majesty to punish me."
"You get out too!"
Pei Yuanling sat up and pressed the tip of his tongue against his burning cheek.
Lu Zhiheng was slightly taken aback, not expecting Pei Yuanling to let him go so easily, but he had no time to think about it at the moment, so he kowtowed, got up and left in a hurry.
Pei Yuanling sat alone on the bed.
The palace was deathly silent, with only his heavy breathing echoing in the air.
His gaze fell on the pile of broken porcelain shards on the ground, where a few drops of blood remained, as if silently accusing him of the violence he had just committed.
I'm so disappointed...
Pei Yuanling muttered to himself, Chu Qingyin's resolute gaze and those words as she left were like sharp thorns piercing his heart.
He never imagined that Chu Qingyin, who was always gentle and obedient, would slap him in front of the foreign officials.
He touched his burning cheeks with his palm and couldn't help but twitch his thin lips.
He has always prided himself on being a wise ruler, yet today, out of a moment of anger and jealousy, he has acted in such an inappropriate manner.
They even injured her...
But, did he really do something wrong?
After running out of the hall, Chu Qingyin stumbled and fell all the way to a side room far from the main hall. Exhausted, she leaned against a palace wall and slowly collapsed to the ground.
Her hair was disheveled, her clothes were rumpled, and her eyes were vacant.
Fortunately, the place was remote, so no one else saw it.
Just recalling Pei Yuanling's brutal actions, her heart felt as if it were being torn apart.
"Miss!"
When Xianglan, who had rushed out after her, saw her disheveled appearance, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and ask, "Your Highness, what happened to you?"
