Chapter 60 I Just Want His Favor
In the Chaohui Palace, Concubine Yu sat on the imperial concubine couch with a sullen face.
"My lady, please calm down and have a cup of tea to quench your thirst."
Yu Fei's eyes flickered, and she grabbed the teacup and smashed it to the ground.
"Drink, drink, drink! You only know how to drink! Do you think I'm still in the mood to drink?"
Ruolan knelt tremblingly and advised, "Your Majesty, although Concubine Mi is safe and sound, she has been stripped of her title and demoted to the rank of Concubine. She can no longer do anything to you."
Concubine Yu was so angry that her eyebrows were raised. She clutched her chest where her heart was pounding and said, "I'm mad at her son!"
She gritted her teeth and said, "He is indeed a good son she raised. He saved her life at the critical moment."
Mentioning the eldest prince's concubine Yu is even more of a headache. After doing such a dirty thing, the emperor not only did not punish him at all, but also taught him how to behave in the world in a serious manner.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Yu has been confined to her house. Once we have eliminated Concubine Yu, we can properly deal with the Crown Prince. He is just a child. Your Majesty, there is no need to worry so much, or your heart disease will relapse."
Yu Fei's expression gradually relaxed and she rubbed the sore center of her forehead.
"Why do I feel like everything is going wrong lately?"
She had finally taken the opportunity of the garden party to set a trap for that bitch Yu Jieyu.
What was the result? Instead of getting rid of Liu Cairen, both Liu Cairen and Su Yunv were promoted to a higher level.
When the spearhead was suddenly pointed at Concubine Yu, she thought that if she could get rid of Concubine Yu, wouldn't it be better than getting rid of Concubine Liu?
Unexpectedly, her good son!
Although she was still young, she had mastered all the tricks in the palace and even staged a mother-son love show that softened the emperor's heart.
She clenched her hands, child! Why couldn't God give her a child?
On the other side, Liu Yuetang returned to Liuyin Palace, had a simple dinner, and then changed clothes and washed up.
When taking off his clothes, Liu Zhengdang discovered that Liu Yuetang's back was bruised by the rockery.
After taking a bath, Liu Zheng quickly took out the ointment to reduce swelling and relieve pain.
When she saw the bruise on Liu Yuetang's back, her eyes suddenly became hot and she tried her best to suppress the sob in her throat.
"It's all the eldest prince's fault. The emperor is really biased today. My lady suffered such a great injustice but was only promoted in rank, while the eldest prince and Concubine Yu are living in peace. The emperor can't bear to blame the eldest prince in the slightest."
Liu Yuetang hooked the hair behind her neck to her chest and said calmly: "What is the eldest prince? He is the heir to the throne, the eldest son, the emperor's first child. Not only me, but even Concubine Mi..."
She paused, then immediately changed her words: "...Even Concubine Yu can't compare to her, so how can I, a concubine who just entered the palace, compare to her?"
Liu Zheng pouted and said, "The emperor loves his eldest son, and the people love their youngest son. This saying is really true."
Liu Yuetang's jade fingers entwined with the soft hair in her hand: "It is precisely because the emperor particularly loves the eldest prince that Yu Jieyu was severely punished. If it were not for the eldest prince's pleading, Yu Jieyu would have been banished to the cold palace by now."
"And my position as a beauty...is the compensation the emperor gives me, and also a warning."
Liu Yuetang knew that this was the emperor's way of balancing things.
If he suffered this injustice in vain, he would definitely feel hatred and transfer this hatred to the eldest prince.
Therefore, Xiao Heng promoted himself and reminded himself that the grievance he suffered had been compensated. The eldest prince also apologized to him, and the matter was over. No one owed anyone anything.
Our emperor is really thoughtful and knows women's little thoughts very well.
Although Liu Yuetang is not a weak and kind person, she would not kill a child who does not know good and evil.
If she wanted to deal with anyone, it would only be Concubine Yu.
But if the eldest prince remains stubborn and unrepentant, she will not show mercy.
Liu Zheng was about to speak when the lantern outside the window suddenly dimmed.
Liu Yuetang was slightly stunned.
This was a secret signal between them. When Xiao Heng stepped into the threshold, the lantern outside the house was extinguished.
And this time, it must be Xiao Heng who came.
Xiao Heng originally planned to sleep in Chengguang Palace, but when he thought of the sad and mournful look in the woman's eyes when she looked at him today, he became worried, fearing that she would be sad again, so he came here.
The woman inside seemed to be talking about the eldest prince in a soft voice. Xiao Heng paused and listened through the jade curtain.
"But I feel that you, my lady, have been wronged. You saved the eldest prince, but your kindness has been met with false accusations."
Liu Yuetang's voice was soft and gentle, but it fell clearly into Xiao Heng's ears:
"Liu Zheng, I saved the eldest prince not for any reward. It was because of the emperor..."
Xiao Heng's expression froze, and he raised his eyelids to look through the gap in the bead curtain.
The candlelight flickered brightly, making the eyes of the woman on the couch look exceptionally clear and tender.
"The eldest prince is the emperor's most beloved child. If he were injured, the emperor would be heartbroken."
She slightly lowered her eyebrows and said, "I don't want to see the emperor sad, Liu Zheng."
Liu Zheng's eyes gradually turned red as she choked out a sob, "But no one in the palace knows that you, my lady, saved the eldest prince. You suffered so much injustice, but the emperor never even offered a word of comfort. Is your silent sacrifice worth it?"
Liu Yuetang smiled and shook her head: "Liu Zheng, there is no such thing as worth or not in love, only willingness or not."
"The Emperor is the Son of Heaven, with three palaces and six courtyards under his control. Half of his heart is divided between the former court and the other half between the harem. In his heart, I may not even be ranked among them."
When she said this, Liu Yuetang's eyes became misty and tears gradually appeared.
"But I believe that one day the emperor will understand my true feelings."
"Liu Zheng, I'm not greedy. I just hope that my immense love can earn him just a little bit of affection in return."
"I only want one point of love, Liu Zheng."
The last sentence seemed to hit Xiao Heng's heart hard, making him suffocate for a moment.
He calmed his expression, took a deep breath, and tried to step forward, but it felt like a thousand pounds of weight.
He didn't know how to get in, nor did he know how to face the deep affection of the woman in front of him.
"My lady..." Liu Zheng called sadly.
"But I hope that while you love the emperor, you can also take care of yourself. Look at how badly your back is injured."
Hearing the word "injured", Xiao Heng frowned deeply, and could no longer hold back and strode forward.
Anxiously asked: "Where are you hurt?"
