Xun Yu was not surprised when he saw Yun Yao in the Changxin Palace.

Being a thief is weak-hearted, and that's what they're talking about. The young emperor glanced up at her and asked with a normal expression, "Concubine Shu is here." ”

"Greetings to Your Majesty," Yun Yao blessed her body, got up and said slowly, "I heard that the second prince is sick, and I went to Yan Nick Hall and didn't see it, so I came to see Your Majesty." ”

"Is there anything I can help with?"

Putting the fold in his hand aside, Xun Yu barely looked up, "Thank you for your concern, it's nothing." ”

The conversation between the two people is polite and distant, not like the emperor and the concubine at all, Yun Yao is like an outsider, who comes to visit relatives.

"I heard that the second prince accidentally ate the almond cake of Her Royal Highness the Queen, and Her Royal Highness the Queen has asthma? I've never heard anyone talk about it before. Tempting Xun Yu, Yun Yao walked to his side, silently picked up the ink ingot, and grinded it for him, "This disease is not easy to regulate, Her Royal Highness the Queen fell into the water again a few days ago, and Your Majesty took care of everything, and didn't go to see her more." ”

Xun Yu watched Yun Yao's grinding action, the force was even, and he was used to doing it at a glance.

"Concubine Shu, you should have a good relationship with your brother, right?"

was suddenly asked by him, Yun Yao didn't know how to answer.

After thinking about it for a while, he finally decided to "tell the truth", "It's not good, if it's good, will he still send me to kiss?" ”

Nodding, Xun Yu felt that she was right.

"If that's the case, then you shouldn't be in and out of his study often."

"Nature." Yun Yao didn't think much about it, and replied.

"So, I really can't think of anyone who needs you to grind." With a little ink on the tip of the pen, Xun Yu used it calmly, but Yun Yao didn't dare to continue.

With her mind spinning quickly, Yun Yao said with a smile, "Naturally, I practiced to marry Your Majesty, Ning Cui often said that I was arrogant, and I was afraid that I would not serve well and would not be able to please Your Majesty, so that I would not be able to achieve the goal of harmony." ”

"For what purpose?" Xun Yu looked straight at her, as if he could see through people.

"Of course, like the South, it is mutually beneficial to the North."

"Hmm." Xun Yu didn't answer, but he also lost the will to continue chatting with her.

"What does Your Majesty think?"

"Nothing."

Seeing that he was excited, Yun Yao didn't plan to leave, "Your Majesty, the concubine heard that when the Empress Wu of the Tang Dynasty was doing Zhaoyi, she once killed her daughter with her own hands in order to compete for favor, although the concubine often lives in the palace, but she has never believed that there will be such a ruthless mother in the world, Ning Cui told me that it is because I am a princess, which is different from being a concubine, and now I want to ask Your Majesty, do you believe that a woman will even harm her own children in order to compete for favor?" ”

"You mean, the queen deliberately ate poisonous almond cake for Twilight in order to compete for favor?" The man looked displeased, but it was clearly not because of tranquility.

"I naturally think it's unnecessary, although there are a few concubines in this palace, but Your Majesty favors the queen alone, and the queen has a meritorious role in giving birth to a dragon heir, and the eldest son is named the prince, unless the queen is crazy, she will come up with such a method, but Ning Cui said that some people just have everything in the world, or they are not greedy enough."

is obviously with his childhood sweetheart's lover, but he still refuses to give others a little chance, too much, and destroys his future.

"Presumptuous!" The man scolded, and the woman immediately knelt on the ground.

"Who gave her such courage to dare to talk about the queen? Someone came, and brought the maidservant girl named Ning Cui to the court bureau and punished her with twenty rods. After giving an order to the person next to him, Xun Yu turned to Yun Yao and said, "Concubine Shu, for the sake of you being the princess of Xiliang, I will spare your life for the time being, if you connive at the people to talk about the queen in the future, don't blame me for not caring about Xiliang." ”

Frightened, Yun Yao kowtowed, "Your Majesty is angry, Your Majesty is angry......"

"Please Your Majesty, for the sake of me being far away from my homeland and homesick, just spare me this time."

"Get out."

Yun Yao withdrew silently with her skirt, and after leaving the Changxin Palace, the woman raised her head and looked at the warm sun in the sky, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Borrowing a knife to kill people turned out to be such a feeling.

It's a pleasure.

Before Yun Yao returned to the Yilan Palace, Ning Cui was taken away, she didn't even know what was going on, and she was directly beaten with a board.

Ning Cui was beaten to the point that her skin was torn apart, and according to the person who carried her back, she fainted halfway through the beating and almost died.

"Got it," said lightly, Yun Yao ordered someone to carry her back to the room, "Good life to take care of her, I don't need her to serve these days." ”

After the people left, Yun Yao called Rouge to her, looked at her frightened appearance, and said with a smile, "What are you afraid of, you are so obedient and loyal, how can I be willing to beat you." ”

When Rouge heard this, the boss with staring eyes didn't dare to say anything. She didn't expect that Ning Cui's beating was related to her master, but Ning Cui was Concubine Shu's personal maid.

"Don't be surprised, we don't have such a deep friendship between master and servant, she was sent by Xiliang to stare at me, rouge, let me tell you the truth, I don't want to get married, I don't want to leave my hometown, I don't want to leave my relatives, Your Majesty doesn't like me, I don't like Your Majesty, if it were elsewhere, I would definitely be questioned if I said this, but our Majesty is different, he only loves the queen alone, as long as I don't make trouble, I can live in this palace for the rest of my life, but Ning Cui forces me to compete for favor in my ears every day, I'm too tired, so I made this decision."

"You are a palace lady raised by the northern court, and you know from your appearance that Her Royal Highness the Queen must treat you people very well on weekdays, otherwise you would not be so well-behaved, so you must stand on my side, both loyal to me and the queen, understand?"

Rouge didn't understand, but she could only nod.

People are so kind to say good things, what if she doesn't agree, not to mention that people don't say anything disrespectful, the analysis is the way, and everything she says is reasonable.

"In the past few days when Ning Cui has been away, you have been by my side, Rouge, I want to remind you that we may have to suffer in the future, but at least, I can keep you safe, and I will not be like her, from now on, the two of us will depend on each other in this Yilan Palace, so I hope you will always be faithful, can share my worries for me, think about what I think, if not, at least tell me the truth."

"Rest assured, the slave must be loyal and dedicated, and will never do anything to be sorry for the mother." Rouge knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, as if she was the one who made the mistake.

"It feels good to have someone to tell the truth, I used to feel like I was in a cage, not cared for, but raised, but now I can finally take a breath and do what I want to do." took a pen and wrote a letter and handed it to Rouge, Yun Yao instructed her, "Find a reliable person and send the letter to Xiliang ......"
