C369 Small Peoples Achievement (2/2)
After they left, the imperial concubine sat on a swing in a corner of the courtyard with a complicated look on her face. She played with a plum blossom in her hands as her eyes turned cold. I will help you achieve your goals.
I should at least avoid dying tragically at the hands of others. In any case, this could be considered a worthy death. ”
The imperial concubine's voice was ice-cold, but her words contained an unshakeable determination. After that, the imperial concubine stood up and left the courtyard. Two guards were blocking the entrance to the courtyard. Obviously, this was to monitor the imperial concubine, and to see if she would leave the palace together with her daughter.
When the two guards saw that she was about to leave, they immediately stopped her. The imperial concubine swept her eyes over the two and laughed coldly, ”What? You haven't even found me, and now you're even looking after me like I'm a sinner?
Do you want to ask where I am going now? ”
The two of them were frightened by the woman's vicious attitude. Within the palace, the worst thing that could be said was the future of the imperial concubines. This was especially so for the person before him. He had been a pampered figure for so many years. How could such a person fall so easily?
Moreover, if the ninth princess found her, the imperial concubine would definitely receive compensation from His Majesty.
No one who could work in the palace was a fool. The two of them clasped their fists. One of the simple and honest guards said, ”Empress is happy and angry, and we are also here to protect Empress's safety.
As for where you are going, naturally, you are free to go. ”Only, esteemed Empress, please let us know as well, and let us have a response so that His Majesty won't criticize us.”
The guard's words were pleasant to hear, but in essence, they did not change their meaning. These people had all been sent by His Majesty to spy on her. The imperial concubine's heart instantly turned cold. If the person waiting here had been sent by the empress, she wouldn't have thought much of it. After all, she was an old rival. She naturally wouldn't miss such an opportunity to add insult to injury.
But the result?
The fastest person to make such a move was her husband, the one who'd doted on her for so many years. She even had no worries for this man. Right now, Wuyou's life and death was uncertain, and he didn't know where, but he had already considered the most laughable kind of answer.
In this palace, perhaps it was really as people said. There was no human feeling in this palace. Because there was no room for favors here. Thinking of this, the woman suddenly wanted to laugh.
”Does the Empress still want to leave the palace?” The two guards noticed that the imperial concubine's smile was a little creepy, and for a moment, they were a little uncertain. Following their question, the imperial concubine nodded and said, ”Why don't you go outside?
I have a clear conscience and do not care about being watched or being suspected. After I returned yesterday, I became uneasy. Perhaps it's because my mother and daughter were connected to my heart, so I couldn't calm down. Thus, he planned to go to the empress dowager's Chang Ning palace to pay respects to Buddha and pray that Wuyou would return safely. If anyone asks, just say so.
If you don't believe me, you can go to Chang Ning Palace and confirm it. ”
After the woman finished speaking, she quickly left. The two guards looked at each other in dismay, but neither of them dared to confirm that they could not give up on doing things in the palace. Even if the emperor told them to stay here, in the future, the emperor and her imperial concubine would get back together. If they offended the imperial concubine now, they would still be punished by the emperor in the future.
Even if they did not publicly criticize him, he would not end up well in the future. He had seen this kind of thing before. In the palace, ordinary people had no human rights. He was even more cautious than the women of the harem.
The imperial concubine walked at a fast pace, and very quickly, she arrived at the empress dowager's Chang Ning Palace. Currently, Aunt Yu was standing in front of Chang Ning Palace, wiping a stone lion by the door. When she saw the imperial concubine arrive, he seemed slightly surprised.
She came forward and said respectfully, ”Your servant pays his respects to esteemed imperial concubine.”
