Chapter 55: Beware of the Eunuch

"If that's the case, it really does look a bit like a calico cat," said Concubine Ka, a rather simple - minded woman, actually chiming in.

This really infuriated Gao Quan. "You people with no taste! It's clearly a tiger!"

"You're wrong, Eunuch Gao. Even if you're wearing tiger - patterned clothes, so what? Some people don't look like the crown prince even if they're wearing a dragon robe. I think you'd better go back quickly. Don't swagger around in this outfit. Otherwise, others might laugh at you," said Su Qingwen, laughing so hard that she was in stitches and looking radiant, almost clapping her hands in delight.

"You... You... You..." Gao Quan was so angry that he pointed directly at her face, as if he was about to hit her.

"What? Are you going to hit a woman?" Oh, Su Qingwen never thought this eunuch would be so bold as to hit one of the emperor's concubines.

"I dare you to hit me!" Su Qingwen rolled her eyes and started to act shamelessly. She put her hands on her hips. "No matter how powerful you are, you're just a eunuch. Do you think you can turn the world upside down?"

[System: Eunuch? You're really ruthless. I bet Gao Quan is going to be mad.]

"What did you say?" Gao Quan's face turned as black as coal. He gasped for air, feeling like he was about to suffocate and drop dead at any moment.

Seeing this, Su Qingwen grabbed the clothes on her chest. "Oh my god, someone is trying to push me!"

After saying that, she fell backward on purpose and slumped to the ground. "Look, I'm such a poor woman."

Concubine Ka stared at Su Qingwen's antics with wide eyes. She couldn't help thinking that this woman was really good at framing others.

"No, you're just lying!" Concubine Ka said angrily.

"What are you all doing?" Suddenly, a cold voice sounded.

Su Qingwen raised her eyes and took a careful look at the person. It was a handsome face. The high - tied hair on the top of the head was fixed with a jade hairpin, looking very neat.

A white robe set off his ethereal aura, making him look like an immortal.

Li Ruhua always looked so charming. Even though he was a cross - dresser, he was the most good - looking one. While Su Qingwen was still immersed in his beauty and unable to move, the other person gave her a deep look and directly pulled her up from the ground.

"Your Highness the Consort? You seem to get along quite well with the concubines," Gao Quan snorted and stared at Su Qingwen with disgust, about to cause trouble.

Li Ruhua's eyes changed, and he hooked the corner of his mouth. "Not really. But you're swaggering around in the harem. I'm here by the emperor's order, but you're not, are you?"

"This..." Obviously, Gao Quan was stunned for a moment, and his brows were tightly knitted.

Li Ruhua winked at Su Qingwen, signaling her to faint quickly.

Seeing this, Su Qingwen rolled her eyes and fell to the ground again.

"Ah, Concubine Xian has fainted. Hurry and save her! Hurry! Concubine Xian has fainted!" Immediately, Li Ruhua shouted loudly. The sound was so loud that half of the palace could hear it.

Concubine Ka's face turned as pale as earth. She pulled Gao Quan and said anxiously, "You'd better go quickly. I know this woman. She's like a dog - skin plaster. You mustn't let her get hold of you."

"Okay." Gao Quan nodded and quickly left from one side.

At this time, Hua Yueye also came over. Seeing this scene, he immediately pulled Su Qingwen up from the ground and frowned. "What's going on with you?"

"Your Majesty, I'm so scared!" Someone lowered her head and quickly nestled into Hua Yueye's arms.

Seeing this, Li Ruhua was stunned for a moment, then frowned and turned his head away. A look of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

But Su Qingwen was so into her act that she didn't notice at all.

"There are still so many people here. Is Concubine Xian so eager to show her affection with me?" Hua Yueye raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a bit of helplessness.

Hearing this, Su Qingwen blinked her eyes and quickly looked around. Oh yes, there were so many people here, even a few maids and eunuchs. Isn't this showing off in public? Not good, not good.

"No." Su Qingwen's face suddenly turned very red. She coughed awkwardly and was about to push him away. Unexpectedly, this man was so thick - skinned that he directly picked her up horizontally from the ground in front of everyone.

"What are you doing..." Su Qingwen frowned, feeling extremely embarrassed.

Seeing this, Li Ruhua took a step forward, as if he wanted to say something.

"What's wrong?" Hua Yueye raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a bit of confusion.

"Your Majesty, I have something very important to say to Concubine Xian," he said, emphasizing it especially, probably afraid that Hua Yueye would not agree.

"Okay, put me down quickly," Su Qingwen said in a hurry. Being carried in front of so many people, she wished she could find a hole to hide in. Fortunately, Li Ruhua said something.

Hua Yueye glared at her and put her on the ground. "Fine, you two talk quickly."

"What's the matter?" Su Qingwen blinked her eyes and looked up with a bit of confusion.

Li Ruhua's face looked a bit strange today, as if he had something on his mind.

"I heard that you were poisoned, and it was an abortifacient," Li Ruhua said, looking at her with a probing look.

Well, bad news travels fast. Su Qingwen twitched the corner of her mouth and nodded helplessly. "Yes, I don't know which blind bastard dared to harm me. I will surely find her out!"

"Actually, I know who it is," Li Ruhua's eyes flashed a look of annoyance, and then he changed the subject and said mysteriously.

"Ah?" Su Qingwen looked at him in surprise, stepped forward immediately, and grabbed Li Ruhua's clothes. "Tell me quickly!"

"Far away in the sky, but close at hand!" Li Ruhua squinted his eyes, and his gaze was very sharp.

Far away in the sky, but close at hand? Su Qingwen was stunned for a moment, and then she cast her eyes on Hua Yueye not far away. He was the only one standing there.

No way! Is Hua Yueye so vicious that he would even harm his own child? But she didn't get in his way.

"Why did Hua Yueye give me an abortifacient? Does he suspect that the child isn't his?" Someone's face looked as bitter as a bitter gourd as she asked this very difficult question.

"Who said it was Hua Yueye?" Li Ruhua was speechless and almost fell to the ground. This was a joke. How could an emperor harm his own concubine?
