The divine doctor's concubine emptied the palace and went into exile

Chapter 464: Slap Concubine Xiao

Seeing this, Jun Zeqian took a few steps back to avoid the hand she extended.

Concubine Xiao's hand fell empty, and her face changed slightly: "Agan, what do you mean? Are you still unwilling to forgive me?"

"I came here today just to escort the queen back to the palace." He looked straight ahead and said in a low voice, "If others knew that you left the palace in the middle of the night, I'm afraid it would cause gossip and affect your reputation."

"Agan, do you know what you are saying?" She said in a sharp voice, "If you don't want to take me away, why did you come? Why did you agree to me today?"

Jun Zeqian's eyes fell on her face: "I did not promise the Royal Concubine today. It was you who said that you would wait here whether I came or not. That is why I came here late at night to persuade the Royal Concubine to turn back from her wrong path." His voice was very calm, without any emotion.

Hearing this, Concubine Xiao's face flushed and she said angrily, "Jun Zeqian, I didn't expect you to be such a person who dares to do things but not to take responsibility! I am willing to give up the glory and wealth in the palace and run away with you, but you actually betrayed me. Have you forgotten what you promised me back then? You told me that as long as I was with you, you would take care of me for the rest of my life and not let me suffer any grievances. Have you forgotten all this?"

"I haven't forgotten."

"Then why are you doing this?" She said righteously, "Are you going to break your original promise?"

"You were the one who betrayed me first. What's the point of saying those words now?" Jun Zeqian sneered, "From the moment you chose to enter the palace, there is only the courtesy between you and me as a monarch and a subject. As for the rest, your majesty should just treat it as a dream."

A cold look flashed across Concubine Xiao's eyes. She didn't expect that even with this attire today, she couldn't arouse any sympathy from Jun Zegan.

"Ah Qian." Concubine Xiao's tone softened: "I explained to you that I didn't want to enter the palace back then. Now I finally found an opportunity to leave and live with you. How could you treat me like this?"

"Not what you want?" Jun Zeqian smiled and said, "Whatever your majesty says is fine. Anyway, it has no meaning to me anymore. Please follow me back to the palace."

"Agan."

Concubine Xiao narrowed her eyes slightly, a cold light flashed in her hand, and a dagger was across her neck.

"What are you doing?" Jun Zeqian whispered, "Put down the dagger."

Concubine Xiao noticed his nervousness and a hint of triumphant smile flashed across her eyes. Jun Zegan already had her in his heart, and now he pretended to be so cold just because he was still angry.

"If you insist on taking me back to the palace today, I might as well die here." She moved the dagger towards her body. Sure enough, Jun Zeqian's face became even more tense, which made her more certain of her guess.

"What are you doing?" Jun Zeqian said in a deep voice, "You chose this path yourself. Who are you showing off to now?"

"Why don't you believe me? I was forced to enter the palace!" Concubine Xiao cried, "Since entering the palace, I have lived in pain and regret every day. I should have threatened to die, maybe they would let me go."

Seeing that he did not waver, Concubine Xiao saw the dagger pressed against her skin, and a trace of bright red blood flowed out, which was very glaring on her snow-white skin.

Jun Zeqian was shocked and just as he was about to step forward, he heard a chuckle behind him.

"Empress Xiao is such a good actress and man of few tricks. Even I am beginning to believe it!"

Jun Zeqian paused and looked back, only to see Shang Ruoyi slowly walking out of the woods.

She walked up to Jun Zeqian and said angrily, "Brother, didn't you say that you would hand her over to the imperial guards in the city to escort her back to the palace and then come to find me? Fortunately, I was smart, otherwise I don't know how long I would have to wait for you in the wilderness."

"Why are you here?" Jun Zeqian's voice was a little flustered: "I'll take you back."

The situation is not peaceful now. She is not feeling well today. What should she do if she encounters an accident?

Concubine Xiao didn't expect Shang Ruoyi to appear here, her expression changed slightly: "Why are you here?"

"My brother brought me here." Shang Ruoyi smiled and stepped forward: "Otherwise, how can I enjoy Concubine Xiao's wonderful performance?"

"What are you talking about? I don't understand." Concubine Xiao looked at Jun Zeqian and said coldly, "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. It's fine if you humiliated me today, but you even brought your sister with you to humiliate me. I'd better die so that you can be satisfied."

Jun Zeqian was about to speak up to stop her, but Shang Ruoyi grabbed his arm, turned around and said to Concubine Xiao with a smile, "If Concubine had such integrity, you wouldn't have encouraged me to run away with my brother today."

Concubine Xiao narrowed her eyes and felt a sinking feeling in her heart. She had not expected that her tricks could be exposed so easily.

"What do you know? I entered the palace against my will and I regret it all the time. Now that the emperor is seriously ill, this is my only chance to leave the palace and stay with Ah Qian. I couldn't choose to be with my beloved back then, but now I can escape the control of the Xiao family. Of course I have to fight for my and Ah Qian's happiness. You are not me, so how do you know what I think?"

"I am indeed not the Imperial Concubine, but I am also a woman. You said you were forced to enter the palace. How come you are the only daughter in your Xiao family? I remember that there were four legitimate daughters in the Xiao family, all of whom were waiting to be married. Why did you, who already had a lover, have to enter the palace? You are the only legitimate daughter in your eldest house, but are the three daughters in other houses not good enough?" She snorted coldly, "You keep saying that your grandparents forced you, but I think it was you, Imperial Concubine Xiao, who couldn't let go of the wealth and glory, so you wanted to marry into the palace."

"You're talking nonsense!" Concubine Xiao's face changed several times: "You know nothing, but you're just talking nonsense here! Ah Qian, don't believe it."

Jun Zeqian had no expression on his face and motioned for Shang Ruoyi to continue.

"Noble Concubine Xiao, you said you regretted every day in the palace, regretting not being with my brother. You said the Xiao family forced you to enter the palace. Even if that's the case, what about the Heavenly Master? When you were with that Heavenly Master, did you regret it? Did you ever think about my brother?"

Shang Ruoyi's words made Concubine Xiao's face suddenly change: "You, you!"

"You didn't expect it!" Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "I didn't expect my scandal to be exposed to the public like this." She looked at Concubine Xiao and continued to ask, "Also, I am really curious. Now that the emperor is seriously ill and the palace is under martial law, how did you, a woman, come to this desolate wilderness alone?"
