At this time, near Silent Lake, the concubines who were secretly competing with each other finally discovered that the “protagonist” was missing.

All the concubines had been secretly vying for attention since they first appeared, those they could offend, they would try to suppress, those they couldn’t offend, they would flatter them, the stagnant Silent Lake was unusually lively now.

A maid hurriedly walked over and whispered a few words in Pan Liuer’s ear, when she heard the maid’s words, Pan Liuer’s face changed.

The emperor… actually went to that jinxed cold palace!

Besides Qi Meiren, the only other person in the cold palace was… Concubine Yun, no matter whether the emperor was going to see Qi Meiren or Concubine Yun, it wasn’t good news for her.

Especially Concubine Yun… the emperor’s eyes were clearly different when he looked at Concubine Yun on the Lantern Festival.

Pan Liuer, relying on the fact that Leng Jun wouldn’t do anything to her, took her maidservant and went straight to the cold palace, the disdain in her eyes flashed, if it weren’t for the emperor going there, she wouldn’t have taken a single step into this inauspicious place.

“Concubine Liu…” Chen Gonggong wanted to persuade her a few words, but Concubine Liu didn’t pay any attention to him, she directly rushed into the palace where Yun Shuran lived.

At this time, Yun Shuran was very nervous, she was still in a state of shock from the male lead’s sudden intimacy.

He… why would he have that kind of feeling for her? She clearly remembered that they hadn’t had much contact, and she had been avoiding him all along, how could it suddenly…

“Jun Gege, why did you come to this place?” Pan Liuer walked in and looked around disdainfully, as if it was an honor for her to step in.

Seeing Pan Liuer come in, Yun Shuran inexplicably felt relieved, she had appeared too timely, otherwise… she wouldn’t know how to deal with the situation just now.

Someone felt relieved, naturally someone was unhappy, Leng Jun was obviously very unhappy to be disturbed, his outstanding handsome face was furrowed, his face was cold as ice.

Pan Liuer, relying on the fact that she had known him since childhood, was bolder than the sky, seeing Yun Shuran standing aside with her head lowered and her eyes downcast, the flames of jealousy couldn’t be extinguished.

“Concubine Yun, why are you living in this place? There’s a smell here, you must have it on you too.” Pan Liuer deliberately belittled Concubine Yun, she also wanted to make the emperor have a prejudice against Concubine Yun, she wanted to make him dislike her.

Pan Liuer’s goal was to make Concubine Yun feel embarrassed, she thought that the latter would be ashamed in front of the emperor.

Who would have thought that as soon as Pan Liuer finished speaking, Yun Shuran immediately nodded: “Concubine Liu is right, this concubine has indeed caught this smell, I’m afraid I’ll make Your Majesty uncomfortable.”

Pan Liuer: “???” She looked at Yun Shuran, who was eager to nod, her expression was unbelievable, she was…

Leng Jun’s face was so gloomy that it was almost dripping with ink, although he was silent, the coldness emanating from him silenced even Pan Liuer.

Yun Shuran stood aside and didn’t move, she waited for them to leave.

Leng Jun silently stood up, his imposing figure seemed to be shrouded in a layer of gloom, he didn’t reprimand Pan Liuer for her behavior of barging in, he left the palace.

Pan Liuer glared at Yun Shuran threateningly and followed him out.

The palace returned to its usual peace, Yun Shuran finally felt relieved, after Pan Liuer said that, she agreed with her a few times, she guessed that her image in the male lead’s heart was already ruined, after all, the book said that the male lead was a neat freak.

She sat down and realized that her limbs were a little weak, the fact that the male lead was interested in her really shocked her.

In the neighboring palace, Qi Boshen stood by the window, his gaze was fixed on the palace opposite, his eyes were filled with gloom, when Yun Shuran went to the window to breathe in the fresh air, he slowly took two steps back, hiding his tall figure in the shadows.

Yun Shuran felt that she was a little short of breath, she might have been too nervous when she faced the male lead, she went to the window to breathe in the fresh air, she didn’t know that she was being coveted by two “tigers and wolves”.

On the small path by the shore of Silent Lake, all the concubines watched as the emperor walked out of the cold palace with a gloomy face, he didn’t stop for a second, he strode away.

Then Concubine Liu came out, this made the other concubines look at each other in surprise, when did Concubine Liu go to the cold palace? She was still talking to them a while ago? Almost none of the concubines noticed that she had gone to the cold palace.

The emperor left with an undisguised look of anger, the other concubines felt that this trip was boring, they all went back to the palace, there was nothing to see at this broken lake without the emperor.

So the concubines dispersed, Silent Lake was lively for a short time, then it returned to its former silence.

In the Zhongrong Palace, Pan Liuer was sitting on the imperial couch, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Concubine Yun was a “hidden danger”, she had to get rid of her.

Jun Gege… she couldn’t get him, other women couldn’t even dream of getting him!

Besides her outstanding appearance, what was better than her? She was proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, while Concubine Yun was just a vulgar woman who only knew a little martial arts.

Pan Liuer’s jealousy was burning fiercely, her personal maid walked over and said in a flustered tone: “Your Majesty, Chen Gonggong is here.”

Pan Liuer thought of a brilliant plan, it just so happened that Chen Gonggong had come.

Chen Gonggong walked towards her, his skin-smiling-but-not-smiling appearance didn’t look like he was coming to deliver good news.

“Concubine Liu, the emperor has an order.”

Pan Liuer bowed, her personal maidservants all knelt down to receive the order.

“You are to pack up within two hours and leave the palace to return to the Pan Mansion.”

Pan Liuer suddenly raised her eyes, she couldn’t believe it, she stepped forward and grabbed Chen Gonggong’s hand.

Chen Gonggong was anxious to pry her hand open: “Concubine Liu, don’t be impulsive…”

“Did Jun Gege say that? Did he say that to you?!” Pan Liuer still couldn’t accept that Leng Jun had never liked her, she wanted to tear Concubine Yun apart! It was Concubine Yun’s appearance that made Jun Gege treat her like this!

Chen Gonggong wanted to comfort her, but his body was almost shaken into a rattle, as if she wanted to tear him apart.

“I don’t believe it! I want to see him myself!”

“Enough of this nonsense!”

Leng Jun’s deep magnetic voice sounded in the Zhongrong Palace, his handsome and outstanding face was full of displeasure.

Pan Liuer saw him come, she directly rushed towards him, Chen Gonggong stopped her in time, this was for Concubine Liu’s good, the emperor extremely disliked people touching him, no one was allowed.
