Chapter 88 The Emperor’s thought of killing Pin Yun again

“… What do you want?” The young man in the red robe said the third time to let Yun Fenghuang speak out her idea. He was no longer calm but helpless.

He was handsome and tall. When he frowned at the moment, despite more disgust, he showed a charming temperament of being pale and fragile.

At least Xi Le couldn’t help being softhearted when she saw this.

However, Yun Fenghuang had no feelings at all. She only glanced at him and then said, “The jade pendant at your waist looks priceless.”

The young man was cold, threw it to her instantly, and asked indifferently, “Are you satisfied?”

Yun Fenghuang didn’t pick up, so the jade pendant fell to the ground in front of her. Xi Le picked it up and gave it to her after cleaning it. It was really priceless even in the eyes of laymen. It was made of flawless white jade and carved into the shape of a little deer lying on a bluestone and holding glossy ganoderma in the mouth. It felt warm in hands.

There were holes on the top and bottom of the jade pendant, with black ribbons stringing through, and two fine beads made of white jade decorated in twine pattern were in the middle of the ribbons.

“What’s your name?” After a careful look, Yun Fenghuang indicated to Xi Le to take it carefully, and then looked up at the young man again, saying smilingly, “Whom did you follow to come here today?”

The young man in the red robe was indifferent. When he heard the words, he was stunned, and then showed an uncontrollable anger and annoyance.

Since the concubine didn’t know him at all, why did he come out honestly?

Why didn’t he just run away?!

He didn’t believe that Yun Fenghuang would chase to frame him while tearing her skirt!

But now it was too late to think so, and his jade pendant had been given to Yun Fenghuang. Since she wronged him without evidences just now, she would not let him go now after taking the “evidence”, would she?!

He was a gentleman, so he failed to run away in time. Moreover, hearing Yun Fenghuang say that the jade pendant was of great value, he mistakenly thought that she just wanted to blackmail him. How could he know that she was so insidious?!

With anger, he gritted his teeth for a long time and then said coldly, “I am Deng Chengzhai, the nephew of Minister of Rituals.”

Yun Fenghuang and Xi Le glanced at each other subconsciously, for it was really coincidental.

They just helped Wei Hengyan to find out whether this man was an ideal husband before, and they met him now.

“Childe Deng, you are unmarried, right?” Yun Fenghuang pondered for a while, then slowed her tone and asked with a smile, “It is reasonable for concubines like me to walk around Pine Hill after meeting our families in today’s banquet. But why did you come here alone?”

Deng Chengzhai said expressionlessly, “I don’t like lively occasions and I have no intention of marrying, so I am here. I didn’t mean to hide here to hear your conversation.”

If he knew that he would meet such a person, he would follow his uncle, cousin and others obediently even if he was upset!

“Really?” Yun Fenghuang stared at him for a moment, and then smiled suddenly, “I also have no intention to disturb you… How about we let it go?”

Deng Chengzhai was ready to be blackmailed by her. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment and almost couldn’t believe it.

Seeing this, Yun Fenghuang covered her mouth and chuckled, with her eyes flickering, “Oh? Do you love here so much that you don’t want to leave? How about I leave?”

“No!” As Deng Chengzhai recovered, he said without hesitation, “I am leaving right now!”

He hurriedly folded his hands, turned around and walked away, as if he wanted to run away as far away as possible from Yun Fenghuang… However, when he just took a few steps after passing a big pine tree, he was frightened and knelt down, saying abruptly, “Your… Your Majesty!”

Hearing that, Yun Fenghuang and Xi Le who planned to go turned back, finding that Emperor Chunjia, who was wearing a daily dress, walked slowly out of the tree.

“Pin Yun.” After the Emperor and Yun Fenghuang looked at each other at a short distance, the Emperor smiled and said in a gentle voice, “Why don’t you follow Noble Consort Shu but run here alone to disturb Yueting?”

Hearing that, Deng Chengzhai sweated nervously, knocking his head. He said tremblingly with fear, “Your Majesty, I…”

The Emperor raised his hand to stop him. He couldn’t help feeling fearful. He only heard the sound of pine needles on the ground being trod. The cunning and gorgeous concubine was approaching.

“Your Majesty, are you here looking for me?” Yun Fenghuang stopped in front of him and smiled slightly. She was not nervous at all, and even had the mood to wink at the Emperor, “This is really great! I came Small Ying Zhou for the first time so I went here to enjoy the scenery. However, Sister Wei left just now. When I was about to go back after a while, I met a man here. I am really shocked!”

She patted her chest very carefully, pretending to be terrified.

Deng Chengzhai clenched his fists subconsciously, trying to justify himself, “In fact, I…”

“Yueting is not a fierce animal.” The Emperor still didn’t want to let him speak. After interrupting him, the Emperor asked Yun Fenghuang with a smile, “What are you afraid of when you met him?”

Yun Fenghuang said, “Well, Your Majesty know him, but I don’t. How could I know his background? You know that I am very timid. I didn’t dare to raise my head when seeing strangers. Since there are no guards around, how could I not be afraid?”

Deng Chengzhai thought, “If you dare not lift your head, how did you find me on the tree?”

At this moment, he had the same view as the Emperor Chunjia said before, which was that no matter who let this woman join the Imperial Harem, he would have a conspiracy!

“Since you are afraid, why did you let Yueting down from the tree?” Emperor Chunjia continued unhurriedly, “And why did you pull your hairpin and throw it on the ground?”

Hearing this, Deng Chengzhai who knelt down gradually raised himself up, but Yun Fenghuang still found excuses for herself as if nothing had happened, “Did I do that? You must make a mistake from a distance.”

The Emperor was not angry when he heard it, but smiled indulgently, “Really?”

“You indeed made a mistake.” Yun Fenghuang said affirmatively, “How could I be like that kind of person? I love you most! It’s impossible that I am entangled with other men. This man is more fair-skinned and slenderer than me. If he wore women’s dress, he would be a beauty. How could I like him since I am not blind?”

… Deng Chengzhai suddenly became less nervous.

He now wanted to violently fight with this concubine…

Emperor Chunjia smiled, saying, “Forget it. I will not tease you.” He let Deng Chengzhai get up and said, “You go over there, and I have a few words to talk with Pin Yun.”

Pin Yun!

It was her!

Deng Chengzhai bowed and went to the place where he could see them but could not hear their conversation as the Emperor required. He secretly gritted his teeth, thinking that Yun Fenghuang was really so shameless as he heard from others. She had made many troubles in a short time after joining the Imperial Harem!

The Emperor and Yun Fenghuang both ignored his indignation.

They smilingly talked with each other and showed kindness, but said displeasing words, “Pin Yun, you always said that you love me most, but you asked another man to give you his long-kept jade pendant in private?”

“Your Majesty, you wrong me.” Yun Fenghuang didn’t admit it, “When did I do such a thing?”

Emperor Chunjia said, “Oh? didn’t you?”

With a strange smile, he looked at Xi Le, who had already wished to bury herself in the soil, “Take out the thing in your sleeve.”

Xi Le subconsciously looked at Yun Fenghuang, but Yun Fenghuang said calmly, “You have something hidden in your sleeve? Since His Majesty wants to see it, then take it out.”

Xi Le took the jade pendant out and handed it to the Emperor gingerly.

Emperor Chunjia looked at it for a few moments, then suddenly reached out and took it in his hand. He bantered with Yun Fenghuang, “What is this? Where did it come from?”

“I don’t know!” Yun Fenghuang said, showing an impression that “I was also surprised and angry”. She said firmly, “Your Majesty, as you see, it was taken out from Xi Le’s sleeve, not mine. You should ask her about this!”

Emperor Chunjia was a bit speechless, saying, “Other masters always protect their maids, but people around you are really unlucky.”

Yun Fenghuang agreed, “Indeed. They followed me rather than other noble people. When Eunuch Jiang was punished, even you could do nothing, not to mention me.”

“…” The Emperor fell silent and suppressed the urge to kill her on the spot, saying, “Forget it. I don’t want to talk to you anymore. Follow me to walk around here.”

Yun Fenghuang suddenly had the same mood as Deng Chengzhai just now. How did he suddenly forgive her?

There must be a conspiracy!

She looked at the Emperor suspiciously and sounded him out, “I’ve seen much of the scenery of Pine Hill, which was very common. How about we go down now?”

Emperor Chunjia said indifferently, “Pin Yun.”

Yun Fenghuang said, “I am here!”

“I’ve told you to shut up.” The Emperor put his hands behind his back and looked around expressionlessly, “Do you want to resist me?”

Yun Fenghuang immediately stopped talking.

Emperor Chunjia was satisfied, and ordered Xi Le to call Deng Chengzhai here, “I also come Pine Hill for the first time. Is there any place other than Heng Yun Pavilion?”

Deng Chengzhai was terrified, “Your Majesty, I’ve never been here, so I don’t know.”

“Then let’s find some places together.” The Emperor said casually, “Anyway, people down the hill don’t finish their doings.”

Then he took Deng Chengzhai and Yun Fenghuang to walk through the entire Pine Hill, and finally returned to the high platform where Yun Fenghuang and Wei Hengyan had been before. After paying attention to the pool for a long time, he said, “I’m a little tired. Let’s go down now.”

Since the Emperor never mentioned the matter just now, Deng Chengzhai got nervous along the way and felt a little relieved at this moment.

But Yun Fenghuang always felt that the Emperor had an ulterior motive but could not tell what he was going to do. Therefore, she glanced at him suspiciously from time to time.

Emperor Chunjia noticed that, and turned back to her with a meaningful smile. His eyes were full of banter, which surprised Yun Fenghuang greatly!

The process of going down Pine Hill was very smooth.

But when they came down and walked for a while, they found that… the cheerful atmosphere became a little strange?
