Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 314: Running Into the Emperor!

"Greetings to the Imperial Concubine, may the Imperial Concubine be blessed."

Long Yue entered, meticulously performing the greeting, leaving no room for criticism.

Chang Wenxue looked at her coldly, and the first thing she said was, "Pang Longyue, you really have some skills. To take revenge on me, you even targeted Le Xi!"

Tsk, this is passing judgment without distinction!

Long Yue had already paid respects, but without Chang Wenxue’s permission, it was improper to stand up. Yet, Long Yue calmly stood up anyway.

Chang Wenxue was enraged and shouted, "Who told you to stand up? I have yet to speak!"

Long Yue looked up surprised, "The Imperial Concubine did not ask me to stand. It must be that the Imperial Concubine forgot. I must not dismantle the Imperial Concubine’s platform, so I could only stand on my own."

"You..."

Chang Wenxue’s gaze turned icy, having long witnessed this woman’s sharp tongue, yet encountering it once more still made her teeth ache.

Such an annoying person!

However, today was about negotiation, and Chang Wenxue did not want to tear things apart, she simply said calmly, "Le’er is a good girl."

"Indeed, Consort Xue speaks the truth."

Chang Wenxue immediately sneered in her heart; are you trying to completely attach yourself to the Chang family? In the past when I praised her like this, you’d certainly disdain it, yet today you agree outright? Haha...

"Le’er is the only girl in my family. As her aunt, I certainly won’t let her marry someone unreliable."

Long Yue squinted, implying Cao Xiao was unreliable?

Long Yue also tended to protect her own, seeing the opposition’s low view of Cao Xiao, laughed angrily, "Then what does the Imperial Concubine deem reliable?"

"At least one who has achieved great things."

"The Cao Family has served in the military for generations. Achieving great things only comes from fighting battles. Hmm, does the Imperial Concubine want Dazhou to be mired in years of war?"

"Bang!"

Chang Wenxue angrily slammed a hand against the armrest, staring at her with a somber expression, "Don’t speak nonsense! When did I say such things?"

No one wishes for war, neither does the Emperor, unless they are obsessed with military pursuits or to divert domestic issues; otherwise, who doesn’t hope for peace and prosperity?

Long Yue’s words, if spread, would certainly cause Chang Wenxue to be disliked by the Emperor.

Since Long Yue and her husband arrived, she had been out of luck, frequently angering the Emperor, watching other concubines receive rewards whilst she received nothing, could the envy within her heart be expressed?

And the originator of all this was the woman before her!

This vile woman!

Long Yue saw her anger and jealousy, shook her head helplessly, "Actually, it’s not that Cao Xiao pursued Miss Chang. On the contrary, Miss Chang was interested in my little uncle; I and A Mu matched them... If the Imperial Concubine is dissatisfied with this, you should speak to Miss Chang."

Talking to me? It’s useless, okay?

Immediately, Chang Wenxue’s expression grew uglier.

Isn’t this implying that the Chang family is without integrity? Chang Lexi pursuing Cao Xiao...

"Le’er would never take an interest in Cao Xiao; you must have used deceit, seeking revenge on me!"

"Why don’t you ask her yourself? Why reveal malice towards me?"

Long Yue’s face showed disdain, she looked around, found a seat, and slowly sat down.

"Pang Long Yue, you have the audacity to disrespect me? When did I allow you to sit?"

Chang Wenxue was really infuriated; this woman was too calm!

Long Yue smiled cheerfully, with a slightly punchable expression, "Consort Xue, actually between us, there’s no need for deadly enmity, right?

Back then, it was Le Xi who came seeking malice, and her humiliation was self-inflicted. Even she herself does not care much anymore; if you continue holding onto this issue, it shows a lack of generosity! As the head of a nation, if you lack this degree of tolerance, how will you manage?"

Chang Wenxue’s face slightly changed!

She thought of Queen Qiao, that woman, always smiling in dealing with others, even if she resented you deeply, she wouldn’t show it on her face.

And for years, seeming indifferent to disputes, she carried out her duties as a queen, earning deep respect from the Emperor...

Thinking about this, Chang Wenxue’s face grew gloomier.

"Consort Xue, have I said anything wrong?"

"No! You’re absolutely right!"

Chang Wenxue hesitated briefly, then her face blossomed into a smile.

She thought of the presence behind Cao Xiao, General Xiping, Cao Yin.

This Cao Yin was not simple; following the late Emperor in east and west campaigns, establishing illustrious military merit; it was said he even saved the current Emperor’s life, forming quite the camaraderie.

Yet this friendship, Cao Yin rarely mentions it, and the Emperor doesn’t often speak of it either, allowing it to be naturally forgotten.

Thinking back, this Cao Yin once fought enemies alongside the Emperor... such camaraderie... it was no small matter!

Chang E commands three thousand Imperial Guards, seemingly imposing, but this amount of power looks insignificant; the remaining twelve thousand of the Imperial Army, their deployment authority lies with the Ministry of War, which directly answers to the Emperor.

Whereas Cao Xiao, commands the entire Xinan Battlefield single-handedly!

It clearly shows how much trust the Emperor Qi Yun places in Cao Yin.

If she could draw the Cao Family into her faction, it would certainly be a considerable advantage!

She remembered her brother Chang E’s words, "Cao Yin, that old fox, is resistant, but protective; if we could establish a marriage alliance with the Cao Family, it wouldn’t be bad."

Since it’s good, then let’s marry?

Chang Wenxue was very conflicted.

Long Yue observed Chang Wenxue’s face turning alternate shades of blue and white, knowing she was struggling, weighing the pros and cons, she only touched lightly on the matter.

She stood up, "It seems the Imperial Concubine has her matters? Then shall I take my leave for now?"

This was giving her time and space to think al her matters over carefully.

"Someone!"

"Imperial Concubine?"

"Escort Lady Jiao back!"

"Wait, the scenery here is quite nice. May I take a stroll around?"

Consort Xue looked up at her, "As you please! Lan Yu, properly accompany Lady Jiao, don’t let her get lost."

"Yes, the servant understands!"

This was surveillance, fearing she might cause trouble.

Long Yue showed no reaction to this; she was here to survey the terrain, standing straight without fear of shadows leaning, they want to follow, then follow.

"Lady Jiao, that is Princess Consort Zhen’s palace."

Lan Yu walked behind Long Yue, seeing her deliberately heading elsewhere, immediately issued a warning.

Long Yue turned and smiled, "I won’t go in, I’m just taking the opportunity to wander around, so I won’t end up lost and harmed without knowing!"

Lan Yu’s mouth slightly twitched, what did this mean? Was she implying that our Imperial Concubine intended to harm her?

If you think the Imperial Concubine wants to move against you, would you still be standing here safely?

Lan Yu scoffed at Long Yue’s words.

"If you want to roam, then roam, but don’t bump into any nobles, otherwise, if misfortune occurs, don’t blame it on my master!"

Lan Yu coldly snorted, warning her, finishing her words and turning around, seeing someone approaching slowly from ahead.

That person stood with folded hands, posture upright, face stern, followed by a slightly bent-backed eunuch behind.

Instantly, Lan Yu’s face changed, hurriedly kneeling in respect, "Servant, salutes to Your Majesty! May my Emperor live thousands and thousands of years!"
