Chapter 718: Chapter 718: What Are You Doing?

Long Yue slowly raised her head and met Nianxi’s unfriendly gaze.

She smiled slightly and said, "I don’t understand the meaning behind the Empress’s words."

Nianxi’s angry gaze immediately pierced Long Yue, that bitch!

She just called me ’sister’ with such intimacy, and now she refers to herself as ’I’, putting on airs?

In front of me, you dare to call yourself ’I’?

"How dare you!" Nianxi shouted angrily, pointing at Long Yue, "Ming Fei, you are truly becoming more audacious by the day, speaking recklessly about court affairs and disregarding your rank? Guards!"

Nianxi called out, and immediately the eunuchs and Yulin Guards came forward.

The Imperial Army in Da Liang Palace is a bit varied, and they don’t have a unified title, each unit has its own name.

The Yulin Guards are responsible for all matters in the harem, and the commander of the Yulin Guards is Lu Zhi.

This Lu Zhi was temporarily appointed General at the time, and went with Li Qingmu to the border to attack Dazhou.

He came in and first saw the confrontation between Long Yue and Nianxi. Somehow, Lu Zhi’s vision blurred slightly, and he couldn’t help feeling that this woman looked familiar?

But he couldn’t remember where he had seen her.

No, no, he definitely hadn’t seen this face, but this figure was really familiar.

Of course, this familiarity quickly disappeared, and he immediately waved his hand, signaling his men to arrest Long Yue.

"Stop, this is Zhaoming Palace, you’re not allowed to be disrespectful to Lady Ming Fei!"

Yu Zhu hurriedly ran to the front to block Long Yue.

It must be said that this girl, though cunning and with ulterior motives, knows her limits in the face of greater righteousness, knowing that all are honored or disgraced together.

If her master is finished, then she is like a rootless duckweed, with no hope left.

However, the Yulin Guards brought by Lu Zhi wouldn’t heed Yu Zhu’s words. They pushed her aside and were about to lay hands on Long Yue.

The concubines just entered the palace, and a concubine who rescued the Emperor surely must meet him, so at least it would define her status.

But having been in the palace for most of the day, the Emperor was sleeping soundly in Changming Palace with no sign of summoning her, everyone felt this newly heated Ming Fei was soon to cool.

Everyone loves to cling to power and tread on the weak, Long Yue surely understood this, but they were mistaken!

Li Qingmu not summoning her was firstly to protect her from too much jealousy, and secondly to give her room to act freely.

That man was indeed thoughtful!

"Ming Fei, please!"

Lu Zhi stepped forward, saluting with his sword towards Long Yue, his tone was somewhat courteous but his gaze was icily cold.

Long Yue glanced indifferently at the commander of the Yulin Guards, pressed her lips lightly, and there was a hint of disdain in her eyes. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

This man had been an utter scoundrel at the border before, and even harbored thoughts about her, now back in Liang Palace, he’s pretending to be proper? Ha!

Watching him reach his hand over, Long Yue suddenly shouted sternly, "You dare!"

Lu Zhi’s hand quickly retracted in surprise, staring at this Ming Fei.

Unexpectedly, a woman from the countryside possesses such forcefulness, able to repel someone with just one word?

But it was him who got repelled!

This woman made him lose face!

Lu Zhi was annoyed and said coldly, "I am merely following orders, Ming Fei, please do not take offense! Take her away!"

This time he didn’t act personally but instructed two trusted men nearby to make a move.

"Bang bang!"

Two guards came forward, but Long Yue countered with a backhand, causing them to collide with each other, even their helmets were knocked askew.

Lu Zhi’s face turned cold, and he shouted harshly, "Ming Fei, what are you doing? Attacking Yulin Guards, are you attempting treason?"

"Marshal Lu, don’t casually mention treason, I am nonetheless a concubine, a woman of the Emperor, what are you? A mere fourth-rank military officer trying to arrest a second-rank concubine, I wonder who is truly betraying the throne, hmm?"

Long Yue’s sharp words made Lu Zhi feel like his throat was being squeezed, unable to speak.

"Such a sharp-tongued mouth! I’ve truly seen it!"

Nianxi noticed that not even Lu Zhi could subdue Long Yue, and shot him a "you’re truly useless" look, stepping in front of Long Yue.

"Ming Fei speaks recklessly of politics and shows disrespect to me, these two crimes are punished as treason! Do you have any questions, Ming Fei?"

"Yes, I have many questions!"

Long Yue stepped forward, glaring at her, "Sister, tell me, who is above us? It’s His Majesty the Emperor! Now that His Majesty is unwell, shouldn’t we, as his women, be worried? I care for His Majesty, worry about his situation, I must ask the Empress, is that wrong, hmm?"

Nianxi heard Long Yue say the word "women," and was so angry her nails dug into her palms.

Women? Ha, it was truly a joke!

That bastard casually made her Empress and threw her aside, never visited Kunyue Palace even once!

Making her, the mother of the nation, a laughingstock of the entire harem!

Nianxi was utterly furious!

She couldn’t do anything to Li Qingmu because he was the Emperor, even though the true power in Daliang was Princess Rong Si, the Emperor remained the Emperor, if he didn’t wish to favor you, you were helpless.

I cannot touch you, but am I not allowed to touch the women you were involved with?

I am the Empress, what can you do if I lay hands on a palace concubine?

Unable to have what she desired, Nianxi’s heart twisted, she only wanted to destroy Long Yue!

"Wrong!" she shouted loudly, "A woman’s virtue is to have no talent; a concubine’s only duty is to serve His Majesty, what business is His Majesty’s affairs to you?"

"Yes, indeed a woman’s virtue is to have no talent, the Empress spoke well, but if that’s the case, why are you overseeing me? Whether I interfere in politics or not shouldn’t matter to you, right?"

"You..."

Nianxi almost choked with anger, this little wench, she got her tangled just like that!

She turned to Lu Zhi and shouted, "Commander Lu Zhi, what are you standing there for? This woman is unruly, seize her, seize her!"

She no longer wanted to argue, as this bitch always managed to drag her into a pit, better to cut her off quickly, take action directly!

Lu Zhi also felt this woman was uncanny, such women would lead you astray if you spoke to them.

"Take her away!"

He waved forcefully, and immediately someone rushed up to arrest Long Yue.

Long Yue resisted slightly, but they were many, dragging and pulling her out of Zhaoming Palace!

"Lady, Lady! Come help, save us, stop!"

Yu Zhu watched Long Yue being dragged down the steps, desperately wanting to call someone to help, but the surrounding Palace Attendants were all watching without moving.

Yu Zhu’s heart sank, crying and following Long Yue out of the palace gate of Zhaoming Palace.

"What are you doing?"

Just then, a sharp voice rang out suddenly, from afar, Chen Liu was walking firmly, passing by and seeing the commotion here, immediately yelled.

Seeing Chen Liu, Nianxi’s expression slightly changed!
