Chapter 019: Overcoming Obstacles

readx;? Lu Yingquan listened to Shen Che's tone, and knew that Shen Che was still doubting himself, so he spoke again: "Actually, the concubine shouldn't have said this to His Highness, and saying these things for no reason has deepened His Highness's suspicion of me."

"No, this king will tell you this, but it means that this king does not doubt you. Shen Che said, "It's just that there is one thing you have to choose for yourself, and how to go forward, you must give this king an answer." ”

"What choice?" Lu Yingquan asked puzzled.

"This king knows that you are highly poisoned, but Miss Yunyao is good at medical skills, and with her by your side, the day of detoxification must not be far away. If you want to live a leisurely life, this king will not set foot in the Linglong Pavilion from now on, and the peace you pray, this king promises to you. But in the same way, your freedom will be imprisoned, and you will no longer be able to contact the outside world, lest the news leak out. ”

Shen Che looked at Lu Yingquan and said this, his tone was calm, as if all this was under his control, no matter how Lu Yingquan chose, he couldn't escape the palm of his hand.

"What about the other option?" Lu Yingquan asked again.

"The throne of this king is still vacant, but this position is not for anyone to sit on, it is a road full of thorns. Cooperate with this king, hide from the world, wait for this king's great cause to be successful, hand over the country as an appointment, and let you become my rightful wife. However, you have to endure the harassment and isolation of everyone in this harem, and you have to bear the misunderstanding and rejection of the queen mother. This king protects your life, and the rest is up to you. Shen Che slowly said the second choice.

I have to say that the two options, each with its own temptation.

Whether to choose to be quiet and peaceful for half a life, without being involved in the battles of the mortal world, or to choose the unparalleled glory of Yiguo and become Shen Che's justifiable wife.

If Lu Yingquan was a person with mediocre qualifications and ordinary appearance, she would definitely choose the former and do nothing, at least her life would still be there. It's a pity that she is not a mortal person after all, and she even knows deeply that before she completely controls power, all the freedom and peace she does is nonsense, because her life is still like an ant, trampled on.

So......

"I'll pick the second one. Lu Yingquan said his answer categorically without hesitation.

Although the second option was much more difficult, although she had to bear and carry more than before, although one step forward was a cliff with no way out, but ...... She didn't hesitate.

She must make the Empress Dowager Qin feel that she is relying on means to get the favor of King Yi, and then obtain information, she is sincerely doing things for the Empress Dowager Qin, and she must make Empress Dowager Jiang feel that she is protecting Yiguo and His Royal Highness King Yi.

This can only be the case until there is no absolute certainty in things.

She is not greedy for the position of Queen Yi, she just feels that if she is trapped in Linglong Pavilion for a lifetime, then Yun Yao will have to accompany her here for a lifetime, she is unwilling and does not want to, so that Yun Yao, who has been working hard for her and giving advice, will lose the life she wants to live the most.

Because she knew from the beginning that Yun Yao had done so much just for freedom.

Hearing Yingquan's choice, Shen Che smiled slowly, with a clear smile and a clear understanding of everything. Maybe when he put forward this choice, he knew that Lu Yingquan would definitely choose the second path, because he could see that deep down in his heart, Lu Yingquan was definitely not an ordinary person.

Lu Yingquan and Yun Yao are different.

Yun Yao struggled in the deep palace, seeking a place to live in the chaotic chess game, just to save her life, hoping that one day she could get rid of the identity of a chess piece and regain her freedom.

But Lu Yingquan is a desire for power and status.

She was born as a young lady, and her family's education and environment gave her a certain understanding of power and status, and she also had an infinite longing for that supreme position. She may be simple-minded, she may not be good at strategy, she may be kind and compassionate, but that does not prevent her from harboring the same ambitions.

From the moment she dragged Yun Yao to participate in the selection of Chuxiu Palace and said that she was going to enter the inner palace, her purpose has always been very clear - to become a master.

In Ning Palace before, it was not that she had not made efforts, but because the Queen Mother was pressing on it, and Shen Ze had always been depressed because of her relatives' dictatorship and political affairs, so she stopped thinking and tried to save her life.

And now, since she has arrived at Yiwang Palace and is temporarily out of the control and surveillance of the Empress Dowager Qin, she is bound to fight for her own back.

"Now that you have a choice, do you know what to do next?" Shen Che stared at Lu Yingquan's eyes and asked lightly, there seemed to be a faint look of expectation between his eyebrows.

"Yes. Lu Yingquan slowly got up, saluted Shen Che, and then said, "Your Highness, it's late at night, let the concubines wait for Your Highness to rest." ”

This sentence is as gentle as water, tactful as a warbler, and it has entered people's bones. Shen Che smiled and held Lu Yingquan's hand and led her towards the inner hall.

No matter how stupid Yun Yao is, she knows what will happen next. So she called Sisi in, led a group of palace maids to remove all the food on the table, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and then went in with clean water and waited for Lu Yingquan and Shen Che to wash.

After doing all this, she consciously withdrew from the dormitory and stayed in the outer hall, leaving all the space inside to Shen Che and Lu Yingquan.

I don't know how long it took, there was a sound in the hall that made people blush and heartbeat, drunk and crisp, mixed with coarse panting, and Yun Yao's face was red for a while.

It was about the second time she had heard such a voice.

In the past, when she was still a third-class palace maid in the Yeting Palace, she inadvertently bumped into the matter between Sister Su Xin and Father-in-law Luo, and the voice was exactly the same as now.

Although she felt ashamed, she also wanted to know what kind of thing could make Sister Su Xin and Lu Yingquan make such a happy sound, as if they were doing the most comfortable thing in the world.

Yun Yao's face was red until midnight, and when the sound in the dormitory completely stopped, the heat on her face gradually dissipated.

In this warm and cold night, Yun Yao looked at the bright moon outside and listened to the voices in the room, but she was thinking about Gu Qingming in her mind, not knowing where he was and what he was doing at this moment.

During the time at the bottom of the cliff of King Kong Mountain, they had tacitly embraced each other, intertwined and slept together, and they couldn't help but be gentle and gentle, but no matter how uncomfortable Gu Qingming was, he stuck to the last bottom line and didn't ask for her, because he wanted to give her a legitimate identity.

At this time, in the Ning Palace, there were many people who could not sleep.

Empress Dowager Qin has been waiting for news from various countries, except for the Hao Kingdom, which was attacked by Gu Qingming by mistake, so that he went later, and Yiguo, who has not heard from him since he arrived, the other five countries have intelligence coming, everything is calm, and there are no accidents.

Such a calm is not normal for the Empress Dowager Qin, maybe the time has not come, but it is also possible that something is wrong.

"Queen Mother, it's late at night, you better go and rest, even if there is news from Yiguo, it won't come in the middle of the night. Jinxiu persuaded on the side, hoping that the Queen Mother could go to rest earlier.

Although it is now February, the weather is still cold, the Queen Mother's health has not been very good since last autumn, and now she still needs to rely on charcoal fire to support, and she is so worried that she will not be able to sleep for a night, but I am afraid that she will not be able to survive in a few days.

"Jinxiu, is it right that you said that the mourning family arranged it like this?" the Queen Mother asked, "A Ning Lan, can she beat Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan? If Yun Yao really goes to Yiguo, I'm afraid something big will happen." ”

"Queen Mother, don't worry so much. Even if Yun Yao really went to Yiguo, it was still a question whether she could enter the Yiwang Palace, even if she was really allowed to enter the palace and see Lu Yingquan, she would have to be connected with Ning Lan, because His Royal Highness King Yiwang and Empress Dowager Jiang would not believe them so easily. Jinxiu said.

The Queen Mother was noncommittal to Jinxiu's words, but after thinking about it slightly, she let Jinxiu help her to go to the inner hall to rest.

Now no matter what, before things come to fruition, she must think about her body, otherwise half of her life's planning and hard work will be in vain.

The sky gradually brightened, and there was calm in the Ning Palace, but no one knew what kind of bloody rain would be staged in each palace. Maybe in the Yeting Palace, there are other palace maids like Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan, who try their best to rack their brains to want or, from the original simple kindness, to the last unscrupulous means.

In King Yi's palace, with a squeak, the door of the Linglong Pavilion was opened, and Shen Che walked out of it, seeing Yun Yao guarding the door, with an inexplicable smile in his eyes.

"She was very tired last night, don't wake her up, let her sleep and get up again. Shen Che said to Yun Yao, "According to the rules, on the day when the concubine is favored, she is going to ask the Queen Mother for peace, you know what to do." ”

"Yes, the slave knows. Yun Yao knew that Shen Che was reminding herself, so she nodded and replied.

Shen Che didn't say anything more, just glanced towards the hall, and then led Gonggong Yu out of Linglong Pavilion.

At the same time, Shen Che's pampering of Lu Yingquan was recorded in the history of Yiwang Palace, and the news also spread in all directions of Yiwang Palace with Shen Che's departure, and the harem concubines and even the Queen Mother got the news.

Everyone knows that on the first day after the concubine was favored, she was going to ask the Queen Mother for peace, so these women in the Yiwang Palace got up early in the morning one by one, dressed up in greased and powdered, and went to Suochuntai, where the Queen Mother lived. Because they all want to see what kind of ability this Lu Liangren from Ning Palace has.

But this time, I waited from the time of Chen to the time, and the tea in Suo Chuntai was changed to cup after cup, but the gate was always empty, and I didn't see this Lu Liangren.

"The Queen Mother, this Lu Liangren's shelf is very big, the first time he accepted the favor, he didn't put the Queen Mother and the sisters in his eyes, if he was favored a few more times in the future, it would not go to the sky. A delicately dressed woman in the hall said that she was one of Shen Che's more than thirty belovers.

The time for this Wei Liangren to enter the palace of Yi is not short, when Shen Che was paraded on the street, he accidentally took a fancy to it and brought it into the palace, she has been informed and interesting over the years, although her position has not been promoted, but she can be regarded as a relatively qualified old man in the harem.
