Chapter 741: Do you deserve to sympathize with me?

As soon as he finished speaking, all the palace maids in the room knelt on the ground.

Shouting: "Your Majesty, calm down!"

Concubine Yu looked at the man in front of her who was obviously very familiar but made her feel extremely strange, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her lips.

She opened her mouth, but tears began to fall down her cheeks.

Raising her hand to wipe away the tears from her face, Concubine Yu straightened her back, looking like a proud peacock.

Amid the rapid breathing of the people around her, she heard herself say, "Every word I just said came from my heart."

Imperial Concubine Yu lowered her eyes, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "I am not feeling well and am afraid I cannot serve Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please return."

Emperor Xuande's eyes grew even colder, and he said expressionlessly, "Since the Imperial Concubine is ill, please stop going out these days and rest and recuperate."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Yu's expression suddenly changed, and when she looked at him, there was more anger than disappointment in her eyes.

She gritted her teeth and asked, "Your Majesty, are you going to put me under house arrest?"

Emperor Xuande said: "I just want you to rest and recuperate."

Although he was clearly concerned, the words he spoke were cold and heartless.

No matter how dumb Concubine Yu was, she could understand what he meant.

She curled her lips and asked sarcastically, "May I ask, Your Majesty, which sister are you deliberately venting your anger on today?"

Ignoring Emperor Xuande's gloomy and terrifying expression, Imperial Concubine Yu continued, "Let me guess. Could it be the younger sister of Concubine Li, who has always been so quiet and uncompetitive and was praised by His Majesty as being as elegant as an orchid?"

She raised her eyebrows slightly, "How come a woman as beautiful as an orchid can be jealous?"

After hearing this, all the palace maids dared not even breathe.

They just thought that Concubine Yu must be crazy.

Normally, in front of His Majesty, I would just say a few sarcastic words occasionally, just as a little fun between husband and wife.

Your Majesty knows her character well and never really cares about her.

But she knew clearly that Concubine Li had just given birth to the Ninth Prince and was now the time when His Majesty valued her.

A few days ago, a few fearless palace maids secretly spoke ill of Concubine Li behind her back, and were punished to clean the toilet that night.

Isn't it obvious that she is trying to displease His Majesty by saying this now?

Seeing that something was wrong, a palace maid quietly moved her knees back, wanting to pass on a message.

After taking just two steps, I felt a resistance.

She looked back and was so frightened that she fell to the ground.

Dehai just stood there, looking at her with a forced smile.

He clearly didn't say anything, but the little palace maid only felt a chill on her back and her body trembled unconsciously.

Her intuition told her that the situation in this palace was likely to change.

Ignoring Concubine Yu's series of questions, Emperor Xuande only ordered in a cold voice: "Take good care of Concubine Yu. Without my order, no one is allowed to step out of the gate of Yuyao Palace without permission.

Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy."

After saying this, he turned around and left.

The look on his face made it clear that he didn't want to say a single word to her, let alone explain.

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Yu's eyes were bloodshot and she struggled to get off the bed.

But because of the pain from the injured foot, his face turned pale.

She didn't care about many things, her mind was full of only one thought.

We must not let him go like this today!

Seeing this, De Hai hurriedly said, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and help the Imperial Concubine."

It would be better to say that it is clamping rather than supporting.

Concubine Yu was held down by two palace maids on either side, unable to move at all. She could only watch Emperor Xuande's figure go away step by step.

This situation has occurred countless times over the past thirty years.

From the initial small courtyard, to the later large house, and then to the magnificent palace today.

She has been looking at this back for half her life.

Logically, she should have gotten used to it.

As the king of Da'an, he was destined to have many wives and concubines around him.

Even when he had not sat on that position, he had that bitch by his side, and there was also Concubine De, who came from a humble family and won the favor just because of her good voice.

He has never been her husband alone.

It has been like this for more than 30 years. Why should she be sober?

Concubine Yu had comforted herself in this way countless times before.

But this time, something seemed different.

Imperial Concubine Yu stopped Dehai as he was about to leave and angrily asked, "Tell me the truth, who whispered in His Majesty's ear today, causing him to come here specifically to cause trouble for me?"

Dehai forced a smile and said, "Your Majesty, you really asked the wrong person. I am just a servant, how can I know what the master thinks?"

Hearing this, Concubine Yu was so angry that her lungs almost exploded.

She was about to say something when she suddenly recalled that she had cursed Dehai more than once with the people below in Yuyao Palace, saying that old man relied on his service in front of the emperor to know how to treat people differently.

The most common phrase is what he just said.

Could it be that someone ran to this dead eunuch and informed him?

Imperial Concubine Yu's expression was inevitably grim, and she forced herself to remain calm as she said, "Just speak as I asked you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Dehai's smile faded slightly, and he continued with the same attitude as before: "Your Highness, please don't embarrass me. I really don't know, let alone where to begin."

He said with sincerity in his eyes, "If the Imperial Concubine really wants to know, you can go and ask His Majesty in person."

"Your Majesty..." Imperial Concubine Yu smiled coldly and said self-deprecatingly, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid you don't want to see this face of mine right now."

Seeing her like this, Dehai swallowed back the sarcastic words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Forget it, I’m just a poor person in the deep palace.

After this incident, Your Majesty will most likely not come to Yuyao Palace again.

Seeing the sympathy that flashed across Dehai's eyes, Concubine Yu suddenly became angry, grabbed a pillow and threw it at him.

Her chest rose and fell rapidly, and she said angrily: “Feng Dehai, you are just a lowly thing serving others.

Do you think you are worthy of sympathizing with me?"

Dehai's face stiffened, and he forced a smile and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. This old servant..."

"Get out!" Concubine Yu pointed to the door and said angrily, "Get out of Yuyao Palace and don't dirty my place."

Dehai responded respectfully, turned around and walked out slowly.

It has been raining for the past two days, and his old leg problem has recurred. He can't stand for a while.

Looking at his limping back, Concubine Yu raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes and snorted coldly, "A cripple, and a rootless eunuch.

But relying on His Majesty's trust, he really thinks of himself as a big shot."

Dehai paused and continued walking out.

Concubine Yu wanted to continue cursing, but was stopped by the little palace maid beside her: "Your Majesty, calm down. Eunuch De is a man in the imperial court after all. You..."

"So what if he's in front of the emperor?" Imperial Concubine Yu interrupted her impatiently, her eyes bloodshot as she said, "When I accompanied Your Majesty on horseback to conquer the country, he was just a peasant who only knew how to farm.

If it weren't for my kindness, he would still be working in the dirt, busy digging for food. How could he be so successful today?"
