Xiao Yuli's smile disappeared instantly, his handsome brows knitted tightly together, and he said in a cold voice: "Qiao Yuange, since you think that taking care of the emperor is not easy, and you even have to do it well to ensure that the emperor will spare your life, in this case, I want to rescue you, why don't you agree?"
So is this why Xiao Yuli is angry?
No wonder this guy has been so cold since he took Qiao Yuange away.
Qiao Yuange thought that this man was born like this. Now, thinking about it, it was because Qiao Yuange didn't understand him that this man was holding his breath.
"Cousin, why are you so worried that I will suffer when I am with the Emperor? Even if I stay with you, won't we still have to live under someone else's roof? You also said before that you have to look after the Empress Dowager's face. So what is the difference between looking after the Empress Dowager's face and looking after the Emperor's face?"
You have to look at the emperor's face and you have to look at the empress dowager's face.
Even after a short period of getting along, Qiao Yuange felt that the emperor was more gentle than the empress dowager.
Although the emperor's mentality is not very good, but when it comes to cruelty and ruthlessness, who can be compared to the old immortal Queen Mother?
Xiao Yuli still had his brows frowned, looking at Qiao Yuange strangely, as if he was looking at a monster. Looking at Qiao Yuange made him feel numb.
"Before you entered the palace, Second Aunt didn't tell you anything, right?"
Qiao Yuange shook her head blankly. Let alone her second aunt, according to her own memory, it was many years ago that her second aunt sent her to the palace.
Even though she doesn't have many memories, it can be seen that she was a very low-key girl who lived in her own little world. She didn't fight or compete, and was timid and afraid of things.
But she is tough and thick-skinned, and is very kind to Cuiqing from the laundry department. Sometimes when that girl does something wrong, she always stands up to protect Cuiqing.
So when everyone was targeting Qiao Yuange, Cui Qing did not stand up, but instead stood with the perpetrators, which made Qiao Yuange feel disheartened.
Xiao Yuli looked at this innocent and kind cousin, slowly sat down, and said word by word: "Compared to the cold-blooded Queen Mother, the Emperor is more dangerous."
"Do you know how the Emperor's mother died?"
When Xiao Yuli asked this question, Qiao Yuange's heart really skipped a beat. She stared at Xiao Yuli, waiting for his next words.
"The Emperor's mother was very favored back then. She was very popular in the palace and was about to become the Empress, the most favored in the harem. The Queen Mother had no children at that time, and the position of Empress was in jeopardy. She had no choice but to join forces with my mother. In order to keep the position of Empress, she promised my mother that the condition was that my mother gave birth to an heir. The two of them joined forces to squeeze that Empress. As a result, that Empress died of dystocia after giving birth to the Emperor."
Xiao Yuli said this slowly, glanced at Qiao Yuange, and said helplessly: "It is probably because the Queen Mother and my mother did not use clean means, and the emperor found out. He was furious and tried to pull the Queen Mother down from that position, but at that time, the Queen Mother was already pregnant, so she was spared."
"I am the eldest son of the Emperor, so the throne should be passed to me. But the Emperor heard that it was the Queen Mother who was working with my mother to do something, so he made the Emperor, who was still very young at the time, the Crown Prince out of pride."
Xiao Yuli made it clear in just a few words, but it shocked Qiao Yuange.
No wonder the emperor is unhappy when he sees the empress dowager now, and he didn't have a good face when he met Xiao Yuli.
Even after seeing Xiao Yuli coming back, her attitude towards him was lukewarm, it seemed that there were so many things going on.
The day before yesterday, the Empress Dowager requested to hold a banquet when Xiao Taiyi and Xiao Yuli returned. The Emperor, who was so averse to this, finally found the reason.
However, Qiao Yuange really admired the emperor. Facing the two women who killed his mother, as well as the women and their children, he was able to not vent his anger on these two people. He was already considered broad-minded.
After all, if it were Qiao Yuange, he would have wanted to rush up and hack these two people to death.
She lowered her head thoughtfully. Just as she was thinking about this, she saw Xiao Yuli stand up and walk to Qiao Yuange. He said in a gentler voice, "Yuange, I know you have finally become the emperor's personal maid, and you are indeed a head taller than the other maids. But think about it, I am the son of the emperor's enemy, and you are the niece of the emperor's enemy. How can he be open with you?"
"Plus, his personality is really strange and seems to have some problems. If you are still with him and he tortures you, what will you do?"
Xiao Yuli stretched out his hand, wanting to put it on Qiao Yuange's head - this was an action he often did when he was a child, but now that they were all grown up, this action seemed particularly unfamiliar.
Xiao Yuli gestured for a while, but finally couldn't help but give up.
Then he looked at Qiao Yuange seriously and said, "After your mother got into that incident, Second Aunt took you away. I thought you would live a good life. I have been in dire straits in the palace these years and I never had time to inquire about your news. As a result, I heard that you were working in the palace when I was about to return to the palace. How could you be...?"
Seeing Qiao Yuange's confused face, Xiao Yuli felt even more puzzled and clasped his hands together.
Because he is very tall and quite thin, but fortunately he has a handsome face.
There is never a smile on his face, as if it were covered with snow all year round that never melts.
Faced with Qiao Yuange's confusion and dullness, Xiao Yuli was also very helpless. He always felt that no matter what he said now, Qiao Yuange would always look confused.
In this case, he should not try to convince her, after all, she did not understand the seriousness of these things.
He walked up to Qiao Yuange and said earnestly, "Girl, the problem is very serious now, but I won't force you. Go back and think it over. If you are willing to come and stay with me, I will put aside my shame and ask the emperor again."
Qiao Yuange thought that according to what Xiao Yuli said, the relationship between him and the emperor was indeed quite awkward.
But for some reason, when Qiao Yuange heard Xiao Yuli talk about the past so calmly, he just felt a little distressed?
Suddenly, the image of the young emperor appeared in her mind. He lost his mother when he was born and lived a difficult life in the treacherous harem.
Even if the late emperor still had a conscience, making him the crown prince was a form of compensation and also a way to protect him.
