Chapter 558: Repatriation
Li Ting didn't put the queen directly into the cold palace in the end, in the end, he was thinking about the past feelings, and he also felt that he was a little too cold-blooded to beat the queen into the cold palace at this juncture, and it was not good to say, after all, he was spoiling Zheng Yan'er now.
Zheng Yan'er gritted her teeth when she heard Li Ting's final decision, she didn't expect just a queen, she originally thought that Li Ting didn't have any feelings for her, but when it came to the final conviction, she couldn't harden her heart in the end, she just stripped her of the identity of the queen.
It seems that no matter what happens, the result cannot be completely determined until the last moment, Zheng Yan'er thought so, afraid that she would have to find another way to make Li Ting completely stop thinking about Empress Shen, otherwise it would be a hidden danger for her to keep such a person in mind.
It's just that Li Chaolu, the center of this topic, doesn't seem to have any thoughts, anyway, that's the result, and the saddest and most disappointed thing about her is not the identity of the queen, what she is sad about is just for Li Ting's inaction, oh no, his mercy may also be his greatest feedback to her feelings over the years, this is similar to charity on Weibo, and letting her go is really nothing to her.
Li Ting will never understand what she is sad about, she knows, otherwise she wouldn't have hurt her so much, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong, so she just became like this, but the only thing she knew was that all of this was inseparable from Zheng Yan'er, compared to the words of being friends with her at the beginning, she said it against her will, after all, it was just to figure out her position as the queen.
Which concubine in this Forbidden City does not covet her position as queen? He has seen too many such people, but Zheng Yan'er is the only one who grabbed her weakness, and then took advantage of her weakness, took advantage of her loneliness to come to her, and inflicted substantial harm on her, so she will never forget her in this life and the next life, and she can't forget the shame that Zheng Yan'er and Li Ting put on her.
So even if she was going to be beaten into the cold palace by Li Ting, she didn't have any special reaction, so at the last critical moment, Li Ting withdrew her will again, and only said that she would take away her status as a queen, and she didn't have a big reaction, so what's the difference? Anyway, it's the same end, walking out of this Heart Nourishing Palace will still be pointed at and ridiculed by other concubines, she knows the consequences, so what?
This group of people doesn't understand where her sadness is, so they don't understand why she can still walk out of the Heart Cultivation Palace so normally, obviously she was still the queen one second and she has become an ordinary concubine in the next second, and even she can't even compare to the palace maid, and now in this harem, she can only be regarded as an invisible person with her own name.
After Li Chaolu returned to his palace, the first thing he had to do was to dismiss the maids and eunuchs who had been with him for many years to other palaces and follow them, because he knew that there would never be a good way out if he wanted to make great progress, they had to go to other people's palaces.
She looked at the tears of these maids, and knew what they were thinking, but she was very calm, if she blindly followed herself, then these maids really have no future, now leave as soon as possible, there are other palaces willing to accept her, after all, it is about to come to the end of the year, and the manpower in the maid's palace may not be enough, at this time, the appearance of the maid may be a help to them.
But for the maids who have followed the morning dew for so long, my queen is probably the kindest master in this palace, and she cares more about their daily life than anyone else on weekdays, and even if any of their maids occasionally have frostbite on her hand, she can notice that such a master, how can they bear to leave when she encounters a trough?
After staying in the harem for so long, many people have been wiped out of the feelings of normal people, and they don't care so much about these things between warm and cold emotions, but only the people who follow Li Chaolu, their master is such a warm person, so this group of maids is edified, and they also retain the emotional part of human nature.
So when she came back with a pale face and told them about her decision, the maids were all in tears, crying all over their faces, but they still knelt down and begged her not to send her away, even though they would not leave her side, no matter how bad their days were.
Even at such an embarrassing or sad moment, Chaolu didn't shed tears, and now when she looked at the group of maids around her who were of the same age and had been with her for a long time, she couldn't help but shed tears, and couldn't help sighing, "What way out can you have with me, this time is the best choice for you, why bother?" ”
One of them couldn't help crying and said, "Niangniang, we have been by your side for so long, if not for anything else, we already have a deep affection, you care about us so much on weekdays, we are not all wood, we can all remember, so how can we leave you at this time?" Besides, our group of palace maids are also serving people when they go elsewhere, and after being by your side for so long, we have a relationship, why do you have to let us go somewhere else? ”
Li Chaolu shook his head, "You don't know what will happen to me in the future, now I am not the queen now, and I don't even know what my identity is in this harem, the emperor has deprived me of my status as a queen, not to mention anything else, this is more terrible than what a low-ranking concubine may encounter, it is really thankless for you to follow me, I don't want to, in the end, I still drag you people into the water with me, it's not worth it!" ”
"! Don't say anything else, no matter what, the slave will not leave you, you said that you may encounter many bad things around you, but the slave knows that no matter which master you support in this harem, you may have to face these things, and even if you encounter great pain, the slaves and maids also feel at ease, after all, they are with you, but if you change to another master, it may not be, Niangniang, you will fulfill our thoughts! ”
Therefore, it makes sense to say that adversity sees the truth, and it is only at this time that Chaolu can deeply feel that the little care she cares about the maids on weekdays has gathered together to become their inseparability for herself, and it is false to say that she is not moved, but she has gained such warmth in such a painful moment, so that her already cold heart has rekindled a glimmer of hope, even if the light is small, for her now, it is enough to illuminate her whole person.
It's just that she is still hesitating in her heart, she really can't bear this, and she will suffer with her maids in the future.
