Forced love, an inescapable fate

Chapter 134 Entering the Palace Alone

She has grown a lot through these five years of experience.

Moreover, she has figured out a lot of things during this period of time. Instead of relying on others to survive, it is better to rely on her own efforts.

She thought to herself: She is just an imperial concubine. She has already met the emperor, so why should she be afraid of an imperial concubine? Besides, there will always be a way out when the time comes. I will just deal with it as it comes.

Moreover, according to the current situation, it is impossible for the imperial concubine to directly break off relations with Jiang Ci now. After all, Feng Zong is behind her. Even if she is angry with Jiang Ci, she still has to consider Feng Zong, the great general of Jing State.

When I thought about it this way, the anxiety in my heart suddenly lessened a lot.

Knowing that Wanyue was worried about her, she held Wanyue's hand and comforted her.

"Okay, don't worry. I'll act accordingly. I don't think she'll really attack me right now. Don't worry."

Knowing that worrying any more was useless now, Wanyue had no choice but to nod.

The sound of the carriage's wheels pressing on the ground made people inexplicably uneasy.

When they arrived at the palace gate, Eunuch Li, who was walking in front, had already gotten off the carriage and was waiting.

Seeing Mu Qingli and the others getting off the carriage, Eunuch Li smiled broadly and looked respectful, making it impossible to find any fault with him.

Mu Qingli couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart.

The saying that money makes the world go round is indeed true, and it applies at all times.

"Princess, let's go. The Queen is waiting inside. However, I'm afraid your maid can't go in with you."

Although her tone was respectful, Wanyue was still stopped outside the palace.

Neither of them had expected this at all.

I originally thought that Wanyue might not be allowed to go to Yihua Palace where the imperial concubine was, but I never expected that she would not even be allowed to enter the palace gate.

Now, Wanyue was completely anxious.

But looking at Mu Qingli, she looked normal.

But at this time she was pretending to be calm.

She just nodded and said to Eunuch Li.

"Eunuch, may I have a few words with my maid?"

Eunuch Li was naturally easy to talk to at this time because he had accepted benefits from the Princess's Mansion before.

"Of course, but Princess, you need to hurry up a bit. The Empress is waiting. You don't have to worry too much. The Imperial Concubine is very easy to talk to."

In response, Mu Qingli smiled and nodded.

She really didn't know whether it was a good idea to talk to her, but it was probably true that she was trying to make things difficult for her.

She pulled Wanyue aside and gave her some instructions.

"Wanyue, don't worry. I'll go in first. If I don't come out before dark, go find your tutor Wen Muchuan and tell him that I'm in trouble and ask for his help."

Wan Yue was puzzled as to why she knew Wen Muchuan, but she nodded in response.

"I understand, Princess, please be careful."

Finally, under Wanyue's worried gaze, Mu Qingli stepped into the Jing Kingdom Palace for the first time.

You may feel panic or worry inside.

But compared to before, he is a little more calm.

No matter what happens in the future, she has the confidence to face it.

......

Inside Yihua Palace, the Imperial Noble Consort was waiting impatiently.

Nanny Jiang beside her gently massaged her shoulders. Seeing the impatience on her face, she knew that she was upset because of the matter of Princess Qingli.

She had served the Imperial Concubine for many years, so she was the best at observing her expressions and knew what the Imperial Concubine wanted to hear most.

"Your Highness, this Princess Qingli takes herself too seriously. She actually made you wait for so long. She is really rude. I will make sure she learn some etiquette when she comes."

The Imperial Concubine closed her beautiful eyes slightly, thinking in her heart how to punish Mu Qingli so that Jiang Xian could vent his anger without completely offending Feng Zong, the God of War of Jing Kingdom.

Now, Nanny Jiang's words reminded her, and she immediately had a plan in mind.

I just heard her speak lightly.

"I'm a little tired. Please entertain Princess Qingli when she comes. Don't bother me if you don't have anything else."

She placed special emphasis on the four words "treat well".

When Nanny Jiang heard this, she immediately understood.

After all, she is familiar with this matter.

Little did he know that he would lose his life because of these four simple words.

Not long after the Imperial Noble Consort entered the inner room, Eunuch Li, who was responsible for bringing Mu Qingli here, entered the hall.

Seeing that the Imperial Noble Consort was not there, he began to ask.

"Madam Jiang, where is the Imperial Concubine? Princess Qingli has arrived and is waiting outside the palace."

Nanny Jiang had always been at odds with Eunuch Li. The Imperial Concubine usually entrusted all important matters to Eunuch Li and was not very close to her.

Now that the Imperial Concubine has finally entrusted her with the task of entertaining Mu Qingli, how could she miss such an opportunity to make a contribution?

She just held her head high, her tone full of disdain.

"What Princess Qingli? She's just a clueless little girl. Her parents are dead, and she was held hostage in the Qi Palace with the Sixth Prince for several years. I heard she even seduced the Third Prince of Qi. She's shameless, and even I find it shameful. Your Majesty took pity on her and gave her the title of Princess. She really thinks she's the master. The Queen asked me to entertain her well. Li Quanfu, don't get involved in this matter. The Queen has left it to me."

Li Quanfu rolled his eyes at her arrogant look, but since the imperial concubine was not around, it should be as she said.

He also knew why his queen summoned Mu Qingli to the palace. Although he accepted two bags of money from the Princess's Mansion, he also knew who his master was.

Naturally, he also knew that Madam Jiang was probably being tricked by her own queen.

But Nanny Jiang didn't like him, and he didn't like this brainless Nanny either.

It’s better to stay away from others so that they won’t suffer any harm.

Thinking of this, he looked at Madam Jiang with a smile.

"That's right. The person has been brought here. I have matters at home, so Princess Qingli will be handed over to Nanny Jiang. However, Nanny, please remember to exercise due discretion."

After that, he turned around and left.

Walking out of the hall and looking at Mu Qingli who was still waiting there, he just sighed deeply.

The Princess Qingli behaves gracefully and without airs, and seems like someone who is easy to get along with.

Although he is a favorite of the Imperial Concubine, there are some things he can't do anything about.

But before leaving, he couldn't help but walk closer to Mu Qingli.

Whispered a few reminders.

"Princess, I have to leave for something. The Queen has the habit of taking a rest at noon, so I'll leave your reception to Madam Jiang. Madam Jiang..."

Having said that, he paused for a moment and then continued.

"Anyway, my lady, please be careful."

After listening to this, Mu Qingli bowed to him.

"Thank you, father-in-law, for reminding me. I understand."

Her heart sank. She never expected that the imperial concubine would let a nanny entertain her.

I'm afraid I'll have to suffer a little today.

Thinking of this, her hands hidden in her sleeves couldn't help but touch her wrist with the silk thread that Wanyue had prepared for her.
