AWB Chapter 217 Threat
Chapter 217 Threat
Hearing this, E Yinzhu felt extremely aggrieved, and the dissatisfaction surged in his heart like a volcano about to erupt.
This is simply too much. Even if she is a royal concubine and a palace maid, her attitude in front of her is too much.
She bit her lower lip tightly, her hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and she wished she could turn around and leave immediately so as not to suffer such humiliation again.
However, reason was like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing the anger in her heart. She knew very well that this was not the time to lose her temper. In this deep palace, any impulsive action could bring unpredictable consequences.
She could only suppress the dissatisfaction in her heart, try to make her expression calm, and follow Chunchan obediently towards the inner hall.
Although she felt unhappy, she also knew that she shouldn't get angry. With every step she took, E Yinzhu repeatedly reminded herself to be patient.
She told herself that her current forbearance was for her future rise. When she reached a high position one day, she would make these people pay the price. With this thought in mind, E Yinzhu's steps became heavy, as if every step was based on her own unwillingness.
As she entered the inner hall, a cool breeze washed over her, calming E Yinzhu's furious heart. She slowly raised her head and saw Yan Wan sitting at the head of the table, her posture elegant, as if all the world's troubles had nothing to do with her.
In her arms was a sleek little rabbit, its fur a rare pure black, its eyes round and adorable, like two sparkling black gems.
Seeing Yan Wan's comfortable appearance, the fire of jealousy in E Yinzhu's heart ignited again. She didn't understand why Yan Wan could enjoy all this so leisurely while she had to be suppressed by her here.
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine." E Yinzhu bowed slightly and performed a standard greeting. Her voice was clear and pleasant, yet it trembled slightly.
Although her tone was respectful, her eyes revealed a hint of unwillingness. That unwillingness was like an undercurrent hidden beneath the surface of a calm lake, threatening to stir up waves at any moment.
E Yinzhu stared at Yan Wan closely, hoping to find a flaw in her expression. However, Yan Wan always had a faint smile on her face, making it difficult to understand.
"You're here? Come and sit down. We are all the emperor's concubines. No need to be polite. Have some tea."
Yanwan's voice was gentle and melodious, and she wore a faint smile. She gently stroked the rabbit in her arms, a hint of laziness in her eyes. Yanwan's attitude seemed cordial, but Eyinzhu could sense a sense of distance and indifference within it.
Seeing her leisurely posture, E Yinzhu felt a little nervous. After sitting down, he looked around and asked impatiently.
"What on earth is it that the Imperial Concubine summoned me for? This grand spectacle makes me nervous."
There was a hint of uneasiness in Eyinzhu's eyes, and her hands were tightly clasped together, trembling slightly.
"Nervous? Yupin was born in Khorchin, and with such a powerful maternal clan backing her up, would she be nervous? It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if you've been getting used to life in the palace these past few days."
Yan Wan said this, but her eyes did not fall on her. She was only staring at the big jasmine flower blooming in the teacup.
The pure white petals unfurl in the water like dancing fairies, while a mist slowly rises, bringing with it a rich, fragrant aroma with a sweet aftertaste.
Yanwan's tone was gentle, as if she was just chatting.
It turned out to be the case.
E Yinzhu slowly relaxed and replied with an awkward smile, "Okay, everything is fine. Thanks to the Imperial Concubine for taking care of me..."
There was a hint of flattery in her smile, but a hint of doubt in her eyes.
"There's no need to thank me. If you really want to thank me from the bottom of your heart, then just be at peace and serve the Emperor well..."
Yanwan's tone was calm, but it carried a hint of unquestionable majesty.
Yupin originally wanted to flatter the imperial concubine, but she never expected Yanwan to ignore her words. She was confused, but no matter how stupid she was, she could hear that the imperial concubine Ling was in a bad mood.
A feeling of uneasiness welled up in E Yinzhu's heart. She didn't understand how she had offended Concubine Ling.
She tried to find some clues from Yanwan's expression, but there was always a faint smile on Yanwan's face, making it difficult to understand.
Eyinzhu's palms began to sweat.
"My Lady, what do you mean?"
E Yinzhu frowned slightly, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes. Her voice trembled slightly, and she was obviously frightened by Yan Wan's words.
Yan Wan's pointed words made her feel a little guilty. "You're quite courageous, Concubine Yu! You know the Emperor hates factionalism, yet you still dare to collude with the palace servants and spread the Emperor's news to your mother's family. Didn't your father-in-law explain the Jin family's misfortune to you before you entered the palace?"
Yanwan spoke softly, her voice clear and crisp, yet it was terrifying to E Yinzhu's ears. Her eyes revealed a hint of severity, as if she was scrutinizing E Yinzhu's every move.
