Chapter 260: The Truth of the Guilt

"I said that I wouldn't let her know about this, do you really think that Deyuan will not dare to do anything to you if she loves you? Two, drag these two maidservants who chew the root of their tongues down and lock them up! ”

"The emperor forgives sins! Emperor! The pleading of Bai Shuang and Bai Hua did not make Shen Yuyue's heart soften, and after the two were dragged down, he turned to look at the sickly pale face of the woman on the bed with distressed eyes, and his thoughts returned to the afternoon two days ago. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In fact, after Shen Yuyue came out of Yuanmo Palace that day, she did not go back to the imperial study directly, but Meilan Palace.

In the Meilan Palace, Wen Qingmei, who was dressed in ordinary palace clothes, did not seem particularly happy because of his presence, he sat on the high seat and drank the tea that his subordinates had just made, while Wen Qingmei stood quietly aside, dignified and respectful. Shen Yuyue re-examined this concubine who he only noticed because he was friendly with Bai Linlang, and if she looked closely, her appearance could be regarded as beautiful, and she was also a person who knew how to advance and retreat, but it was a pity that she ......

"Do you know what I'm doing when I'm here today?" He spoke suddenly, breaking the awkward silence.

"The concubine doesn't know, but the concubine dares to guess that it's for Hui Deyuan's business." Wen Qingmei's answer was respectful, as if she was a woman who paid great attention to the way of kings and ministers, and she did not cross the distance at all, but her answer did not make people feel mediocre.

Shen Yuyue understood for the first time why Bai Linlang became friendly with her, probably because Wen Qingmei had a cold aura on her body, so she never disdained to do the harmful things in secret, and even in the face of the king, she also had a confident attitude that was not afraid of him, or rather, she was not afraid of him, but just did not want to lose her pride.

As soon as he thought of the purpose of coming today, Shen Yuyue felt a strong sense of guilt for this woman, which he had not experienced in politics for many years, and he did not expect this kind of emotion to appear when facing a woman.

"That's right, it's for her sake, and now I have a problem about her, and I hope you can share my worries."

Shen Yuyue's cold tone made Wen Qingmei feel a bad premonition in her heart, but she knew very well that she had no right to refuse: "It is really an honor for a concubine to be able to share the emperor's worries." ”

"Honored?" Shen Yuyue laughed as if self-deprecatingly, "I'm afraid that after you understand what I want you to do, I don't think it's an honor." ”

"I hope the emperor will make it clear." Wen Qingmei always kept her head half-bowed, not daring to face the emperor's face.

Shen Yuyue stepped down from the high seat, walked unhurriedly to Wen Qingmei's side, and said in an extremely peaceful tone: "I hope that you can confess to the crime of murdering the child in Hui Deyuan's womb." ”

What the?!

Wen Qingmei looked up at Shen Yuyue in shock, and after a second she realized that her move was inappropriate, and quickly lowered her head, her clenched hands in front of her lower abdomen revealed her nervousness, and Shen Yuyue took in her expression.

"Don't worry, you won't receive a real punishment, as long as you admit it, I will arrange the rest."

"The concubine is stupid, and I still don't understand what the emperor means." Wen Qingmei tried her best to calm the panic in her heart, but her tone was still trembling slightly, she never thought that the dignified and proud son would come to her to apologize for a person who harmed her good sister, and she said it so naturally. Even though she has been accustomed to seeing the indifference of the harem since entering the palace, her heart at this moment still can't help but be cold through.

Shen Yuyue seemed to hear the slight bitter sarcasm in her tone, and rarely talked to her patiently about the conditions: "As long as you admit that it was you who poisoned the child in Hui Deyuan's womb, not only me, but the Queen Mother will also agree to the marriage of Wen Yuan and Qiling, and I promise that you will be unknowingly sent out of the palace and live the life you want with another new identity." ”

A free life?

Wen Qingmei's head was raised again in surprise, her eyes were facing each other, she saw sincerity in Shen Yuyue's eyes, and Shen Yuyue also saw the expected light in her eyes as she wished, he knew that Wen Qingmei's heart was not in this palace.

But the light was only a flash, and soon, Wen Qingmei's eyes were replaced by heavy entanglements.

"Your Majesty, Linlang is a good sister of the concubine, and the concubine can't do anything to deceive her."

Shen Yuyue didn't expect Wen Qingmei to refuse his request under such a big temptation, and couldn't help but think a little more highly of her, it was a pity that such a woman was placed in the harem.

Wen Qingmei originally thought that the emperor would be angry, and would say that she didn't know how to lift, and even beat her into the cold palace in a fit of anger, she lowered her eyes and waited for the sentence of the pride of the day, but she didn't expect that the final result of this conversation was that she met his request. It's just because he said, "If you insist on letting her find out who is behind the scenes, it will do her the greatest harm." ”。

When he said this, the perceptive eyes made Wen Qingmei's heart sweat. What he wanted to say seemed to be that you were not a dull person, you could only read me.

A terrible thought came to her mind, Wen Qingmei staggered back a few steps in fright, looking at the emperor's unfathomable eyes, a deep sadness surged in her heart.

In the end, all the complicated emotions turned into a compromise sentence.

"The concubine understands."

The emperor on the other side finally gave her a satisfied look, and then walked past her coldly.

Feeling the cold aura of the superior, Wen Qingmei's heart tightened, and she was suddenly glad that she was able to withdraw before sinking.

"Congratulations to the emperor!" She bent her knees slightly, and bowed to her feet. But I didn't want the back in front of me to pause.

He said, "Do you think I'm a ruthless person? ”

It was supposed to be a question, but the tone felt like she was sure that she would answer "yes".

Wen Qingmei was silent, without words, for the first time, she felt that her nominal husband, the emperor on the high seat, was just a mortal, she would care about their opinions, and had her own emotions, and suddenly, she felt that he was not so terrible.

"In life, there are some things that cannot be controlled by man, if I can make her suffer a little less harm, I don't mind being a ruthless person." A calm and powerful voice sounded directly in front of Wen Qingmei, and she looked up in surprise, only to find that there was no one in front of her.

In that moment, Wen Qingmei seemed to understand something, that is, the emperor, and there were times when she was helpless, but when she thought of how noble and arrogant he was, he would say these almost guaranteed words in front of her, and she was suddenly relieved, even if she was not around, Bai Linlang could live a peaceful and happy life.
