I insist

Chapter 438: Insult

Liuli felt extremely flustered at the thought.

She struggled to her feet, rushed to the door, and tried to open it with all her might, but she couldn't budge it.

"Let me go! I need to see the Emperor! I am the Emperor's most beloved concubine! Open the door!"

Liuli pounded on the door while shouting loudly outside.

But the people guarding outside wouldn't listen to her at all; no matter how much she cried and screamed, there was no response.

"I heard that our favored concubine has been imprisoned. Let's go and see."

The demon concubine sat to the side, touching her belly, a slight smile playing on her lips, and slowly stood up.

The palace maid immediately went to her side, reached out to support her, and cautiously said, "Your Highness, would it be inappropriate to go see her now?"

"What? You're afraid she'll hurt me now?"

The concubine, supported by her maid, walked forward step by step, asking softly.

"Of course not, I'm afraid she might do something desperate. I heard that besides the people outside, only Consort Jieyu is inside that palace."

And it's pitch black every day. I think even a good person would be driven mad by this. What do you think?

The palace maid frowned slightly as she spoke.

The current concubine is pregnant with the dragon's child, so there can be no mistakes, otherwise everyone in the room will be punished.

"It's alright. When we moved here, Jieyu even came to see us off, so we should naturally return the favor. Let's go."

The demon queen knew that her pregnancy was hard-won, so she would not easily allow Liuli to harm her.

When she arrived, she heard Liuli knocking on the door, asking the people outside to let her out.

"Look, I thought Jieyu would be so depressed. She seems to be doing quite well. Our worries were unnecessary."

The demon concubine found her voice increasingly pleasant to listen to, and her mood became extremely cheerful.

The palace maid stood to the side, smiling and nodding in agreement.

The concubine walked over, looked at the people guarding outside, and said softly, "Can't you all hear the Consort's voice, which is so loud?"

"Your Majesty, Consort Jieyu has been asking me to release her, but I have no right to do so. I can only let Consort Jieyu call her that."

Those waiting outside were also quite annoyed, since no one wanted to keep listening to someone yelling.

"You've all worked hard, and she's understandably upset after what's happened. How about this, let me in so I can try to comfort her?"

"The enchantress said softly."

The group exchanged glances, hesitating.

"Don't worry, if anything happens, I will explain to the Emperor. You don't need to be concerned."

The demon queen could naturally tell what they were worried about, so she simply put their minds at ease.

Since the demon concubine had said so, they had nothing more to say and simply opened the door.

Just as the demon concubine was about to enter, she was bumped by Liuli, who rushed out from the opposite direction.

Fortunately, a palace maid nearby caught her in time, and Liuli was quickly subdued, preventing any major incident from occurring.

But it terrified the demon queen and everyone else.

"Your Highness, could you please have looked around before you rushed out? Be careful! Our Lady is pregnant. If something were to happen to her..."

Can you take responsibility? This is a dragon's son.

The palace maids, supporting the demonic concubine, questioned Liuli aggressively.

Liuli never expected to encounter a demon concubine, and after being scolded by the palace maid, she was momentarily stunned.

It was the concubine who reacted first and immediately reprimanded the palace maid.

"Alright, my sister didn't do it on purpose, why are you making such a fuss?"

After saying that, she looked at Liuli and said apologetically, "Sister, please don't take offense. She's just used to being careful."

Since I got pregnant, she hasn't let me do anything. Sometimes she even criticizes me. Don't take it to heart.

Liuli snapped out of her daze. At this moment, she had no intention of pretending to be close sisters with the demon concubine. Finally, the door opened, and she was going to find the emperor.

She broke free from the others and wanted to go find the Emperor.

"Sister, are you in such a hurry to see the Emperor? Don't blame me for not warning you, but the Emperor has ordered you to be locked up."

If you go to him like this, the Emperor will definitely be angry. Then it won't be as simple as just locking you up; there are also those people watching you.

"You'll also be implicated, sister, you should think carefully before you act."

The concubine had her maid help her into the palace. Seeing the dark place, she immediately ordered the lamps to be turned on, which made things a little better.

The demon queen's words made Liuli stop in her tracks, and she reluctantly returned to the palace.

Looking at the palace, which had become much brighter, Liuli finally realized the difference between herself and the Demon Consort.

She was very unwilling, but at this point, even if she was unwilling, there was nothing she could do.

"Did you come here to laugh at me? You should be very happy now."

Liuli sat to the side and said in a cold tone.

The enchanting concubine couldn't help but chuckle: "What are you talking about, sister? Why would I want to see you make a fool of yourself?"

"Stop pretending. You came here just to see how pathetic I am, didn't you? Now that you've seen it, are you satisfied? Can you leave now?"

Liuli shouted at the demon concubine, knowing that she had only come here to avenge herself for mocking her before.

"My sister is indeed clever. As for me, I'm the kind of person who loves to kick someone when they're down. Since my sister reminded me, if I don't do something..."

"I'm sorry, sister, for saying that. Someone, come and serve Consort Jieyu properly."

The wicked concubine came here to insult Liuli. She should have expected what kind of retribution she would receive for what she said about her before.

The palace maid took the lead and slapped Liuli Song Miqiu without saying a word.

"How dare you! I am Consort Jieyu! How dare you, a mere palace maid, hit me? Do you believe I will have the Emperor kill you?"

Liuli covered her face and shouted loudly at the palace maid.

The palace maid wasn't afraid of Liuli's words at all. This time, she kicked Liuli's knee, making her kneel on one knee.

Moreover, the direction she was kneeling towards was actually at the feet of the evil concubine, which made her feel even more humiliated.

The demon queen looked down at Liuli and found her gaze utterly hilarious.

"Judging from your expression, do you feel humiliated? I was just giving you a taste of your own medicine, and you can't even handle it?"

"Snakes and scorpions."

Upon hearing Liuli's words, the demon queen suddenly burst into laughter, then nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I am a viper, and you are no better than me."

She reached out and pinched Liuli's chin: "I only said you were smart to flatter you. You didn't actually believe me, did you? I didn't expect you to be so naive."
