Chapter 305 Are You Willing to Give It Up?
The second day.
Xue Ji stepped forward and said to Liu Yuetang, who was resting with her eyes closed, "Your Majesty, I just went to inquire. Apart from Taxue, no other maid in Yufu Palace can get close to Concubine Rou. The palace maids don't know what's going on inside, but they only know... Concubine Rou has been having nightmares for the past two nights."
Liu Yuetang slowly raised her eyelids, her pupils deep and dark. "According to the timeline, she won't last more than five days. Tonight... she will definitely reveal her flaws."
Just as he finished speaking, there was a sudden rapid noise outside the door, like a hurried sound of footsteps.
Liu Yuetang frowned, "What happened outside?"
At this time, the eunuch in charge of Changle Palace came forward and said, "Your Majesty, I found several palace maids and eunuchs acting suspiciously outside Changle Palace, so I arrested them and brought them in."
As he spoke, he gave a wink and the young eunuch brought several people up.
When he saw the faces of several people, Liu Yuetang's eyes fixed.
It turned out to be Wanqiu, Liuzheng, and Xiaozhongzi.
He was her confidant who had been with her in the palace for three years.
The moment the three of them saw Liu Yuetang, they froze in surprise, and then they were filled with ecstasy that was difficult to conceal.
"Empress!" Liu Zheng was the first to react, her voice filled with tears. She staggered forward but was stopped by the eunuch beside her.
She stared at Liu Yuetang blankly, tears streaming down her face. "That's great... You're not dead."
Liu Yuetang's throat was choked, and thousands of words were stuck on the tip of her tongue. She said with difficulty: "You all go down, I will personally interrogate these people."
As soon as the eunuch left, everyone knelt down.
Liu Zheng crawled to Liu Yuetang's side on her knees, the excitement in her eyes almost overflowing with tears, "Your Highness...you are my lady, right?"
"That's great... You're not dead, you're really not dead."
Wanqiu was the calmest of the lot, but even now, her eyes reddened as she choked back tears, "Everyone in the palace is saying that Imperial Concubine Jing and Imperial Concubine Xi look exactly alike, so we servants wanted to come and see, but who knew... who knew it was you, Your Majesty."
Xiao Zhongzi was so excited that he kowtowed loudly, his forehead hitting the ground with a dull sound. "Heaven has mercy on us! I would be willing to die if I could see your majesty again!"
Seeing them like this, Liu Yuetang's heart was filled with emotions, and she quickly stood up and helped them up one by one.
"Get up, all of you."
Su Nanqing will be dying in the next few days. After getting rid of her and Concubine Zhao, I will leave. This will happen this month.
Before leaving, it’s better to let them know that you are not dead, at least they won’t be so sad.
Liu Yuetang's action further confirmed that he was their master.
Liu Zheng was sobbing and unable to speak. She held Liu Yuetang's hand tightly, afraid that she would disappear if she let go.
The master and servants looked at each other, their eyes filled with tears, and they were speechless.
Finally, Wan Qiu wiped her tears and said, "My Lady, what happened? Why did you become the princess of Lanyue Kingdom?"
Liu Yuetang asked them to sit down and then told them the whole story.
The three of them were shocked and angry, mixed with sadness and joy.
Liu Zheng asked in surprise, "So, after you've avenged your loss, Your Majesty, you'll take the princess and leave?"
Liu Yuetang nodded slightly. "Yes, by then the King of Lanyue Kingdom will come up with a foolproof plan to allow me to leave the palace. From now on, I will live with Yue'er in Lanyue Kingdom."
Wan Qiu smiled and nodded upon hearing this. "That's fine. For Your Majesty, Lanyue Country is now your home. Although this palace may appear glorious, it's like walking on thin ice, and every step is dangerous. Your Majesty is fortunate to be able to leave this dangerous place."
Liu Yuetang smiled faintly. "For the past twenty years, I've lived a very tiring life. It was only during these three months in Lanyue that I was able to truly be myself. In Lanyue, I don't have to constantly harbor ulterior motives, force a smile in front of others, and am not bound by anyone or anything. So... I'm very happy."
In the past, in the village, she had been hoping and hoping that someone would take her back to the Liu family.
Later, after returning to the Liu family, she tried her best to get her father's attention, and was cautious in making a living under the Qi family.
After entering the palace, she began to plan how to gain favor. After gaining favor, she planned how to gain power.
After she finally had it, she realized that consolidating her position was more difficult than owning it.
There has never been a single day of peace in this deep palace.
There are countless eyes watching you below the Imperial Concubine. If you make even the slightest mistake, you will be replaced by someone else.
So she never let down her guard for a single day during the three years she was in the harem.
The three months in Lan Yue were actually the happiest three months in the past twenty years.
Wan Qiu's eyes reddened again upon hearing this, and she quickly turned away to wipe away her tears. "That's great! I didn't expect Concubine Wen to be Lan Yue's princess. It's great that Your Majesty can find her family, but..."
A trace of pity flashed in her moist eyes, "Your Majesty... can you bear to leave the Emperor?"
Liu Yuetang was slightly stunned, then smiled faintly and said, "Why would I be reluctant to let him go? He and I...are not a loving couple."
"Your Highness..." Liu Zheng said slowly, "Do you know that night when you were trapped in the sea of fire, the Emperor rushed in like a madman, trying to save you. All the guards couldn't stop him. I saw it with my own eyes. As soon as he stepped over the threshold, the beam above his head suddenly fell down, hitting him on the arm. If General He hadn't knocked the Emperor unconscious, I'm afraid..."
Before she could finish her words, someone gently tugged at her sleeve.
Liu Zheng turned around and saw Wan Qiu shaking her head slightly at her. She lowered her voice and said, "The Queen has always wanted to leave the palace. What you are saying now is only adding to her troubles."
Liu Zheng was stunned, immediately pursed her lips and looked up.
There seemed to be a thin layer of mist in Liu Yuetang's eyes, and she looked a little confused and dazed.
"You mean, the emperor..." Liu Yuetang suddenly paused when the words came to her lips, her lips moved twice, and finally she swallowed the rest of the words.
Her fingertips unconsciously tightened, and the cold jade nails dug deep into her palms, pulling her out of her trance. She looked at the few people and said, "Fortunately... After I left, the Queen sent you all to good places."
Finally, she set her sights on Liu Zheng.
"Liu Zheng, I have something to ask you to do."
Liu Zheng quickly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, if you say so, I will go through fire and water for you."
Liu Yuetang lowered her head and whispered a few words. Liu Zheng listened and nodded heavily.
"Yes, I will do it right away. However...will Concubine Rong help you? After all, you are now Concubine Jing."
"She will." Liu Yuetang's voice was soft but full of determination.
Just based on what they said that day.
She knew that Sister Rong recognized her.
