C370 The Embarrassment of the Royal Consort (1/2)
”Aunt Yu, you don't have to do this. I'm afraid it won't be long before I kneel before you.” The imperial concubine said coldly. Aunt Yu replied in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant, ”Mistress will always be Mistress. This servant will not do anything that does not conform to my identity at all.”
”If I want to see Esteemed Empress Dowager, then tell her … ”I have matters to discuss with you regarding Seventh Marquis Concubine. If this works out, the empress dowager and empress dowager can all do it.”
What the woman said surprised Aunt Yu. Before, this esteemed imperial concubine had been a spectator on Seventh Princess' matter, and might even help Murong Yue. How did things turn out like this now?
Could this be one of her strategies?
Regardless of what it was, Aunt Yu said calmly, ”This servant doesn't know what you are talking about. The Seventh Prince has just left the palace.
Seventh Princess was also a member of the royal family, how could the royal family oppose each other? ”If Esteemed Empress Dowager found out, she'd definitely be in great sorrow.” Aunt Yu's words were touching.
The imperial concubine almost vomited when she heard this. If there was anything in this world that made the empress dowager sad, it must be that the empress dowager herself wouldn't be able to obtain anything, or that she was about to die, right? The empress dowager had dominated the harem for so many years, so how could she show any mercy?
If there was, the harem would not be so empty and ridiculous right now. There were even many ridiculous stories about the past.
Of course, she was here to ask for cooperation, so she naturally couldn't speak carelessly. Thinking this, the imperial concubine continued, ”I have a piece of paper in my hands. If the empress dowager is willing to see me, I'll hand it over, or even …” ”He'll tell Esteemed Empress Dowager one thing, something that Esteemed Empress Dowager absolutely won't regret!”
As the Imperial Concubine spoke to here, she was gnashing her teeth. When Aunt Yu saw that the imperial concubine wasn't willing to give up, she also understood that the imperial concubine was serious this time. Thus, she slowly opened the doors to Chang Ning Palace.
Looking at the scenery revealed by the door, the imperial concubine finally revealed a smile. From today onwards, she would no longer let herself be caught in a passive situation. Absolutely not!
On the other hand.
The golden fruit rolled back and forth on the jade-like plate. Within the Seventh Prince's Estate, Murong Yue sat on a chaise longue. She allowed the sun in the sky to bask her as she watched the fruits on the plate, seemingly very happy.
On the side, Yun'er looked at her princess consort and could not help but feel worried, ”Princess, what are you trying to do? [The sun is shining in the sky. Ever since you came back from outside, you have been staring at this plate in a daze. Don't tell me you miss your highness?] ”If so, why don't you call the steward and ask him to tell you where your highness is going next? Let's write a letter to your highness. Your highness will be very happy to receive your highness's letter.”
Yun'er excitedly suggested.
When Mu Ru Yue heard that, she smiled. ”Writing a letter isn't my style. Moreover, it wouldn't be good if his journey was exposed because of my letter. Furthermore, who told you that I missed you? ”
”Then what are you doing?”
”I was only thinking how the people in the capital planned to deal with me after he left. And … The emperor hadn't given any real authority to Old Fox Murong in such a long time, so why would Old Fox Murong receive a military force from the capital this time?
With this worry-free departure, the good old fox Murong has truly made it. ”
When Mu Ru Yue said this, she frowned. It was obvious that she didn't understand what he meant.
Yun'er had no idea what Mu Ru Yue was thinking about. She had always been a person who wasn't interested in these things. Now that she heard Mu Ru Yue's words, she felt confused and said, ”Your servant doesn't know either.”
”That's true. If you knew, many people would know. This is not something an emperor would do. ”I really don't understand. What in the world is worthy for the Emperor to treat the Mu Rong family like this?”
Mu Ru Yue frowned, her heart filled with anxiety. No one wished for the Mu Rong family to die more than she did. She had to repay all the sins that these people had left on the body of the original owner.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to escape. This was her responsibility, as well as the price.
