Just because the emperor has been kind to Qiao Yuge, it doesn't mean that he will always be good to her.
Why?
You have to know that it’s not that Qiao Yege is likable, it’s just that the emperor has a higher quality.
In that case, Qiao Yege still wants to give it a try, to give the emperor a chance and also give himself a reason to stay with the emperor.
Originally, the Queen Mother asked Qiao Yege to tell her everything the Emperor did, but Qiao Yege thought the Emperor was a good man and did not do so.
Is the emperor worthy of her kindness?
At night, in the side hall of Taixing Palace, candlelight flickered.
The room was quiet. Qiao Yuge stepped behind the screen, lowered his head and looked at the ground. He hesitated for a long time but still did not enter.
The air around him seemed to be stagnant, and Qiao Yege could even hear his own breathing - could it be that the emperor was not here?
When she leaned over, she saw the emperor sitting upright in a chair, his hands on the table, looking up at her.
Oh my god...
Qiao Yege was shocked. The feeling of being caught made her heart almost jump out.
She knelt on the ground in a hurry. Although her voice was still trembling, she at least remained rational: "Your Highness, please forgive me. The reason I came here this time was actually just because of something that happened during the day about my mother..."
Qiao Yege asked bravely.
But the emperor interrupted her in an instant: "Didn't you say you didn't remember anything? If you don't remember, why are you still so curious?"
Nonsense, it’s because I don’t remember that I’m curious.
"Because this is a matter between a servant and a maid."
Qiao Yege still kept her head down. The emperor's gaze fell on her, making her feel uncomfortable all over.
Something is wrong. I am the one interrogating the criminal. Why does the emperor take the initiative?
The emperor leaned back in his chair, took a deep breath, and said, "Qiao Yege, don't mention your mother's affairs anymore. I won't tell you, and you don't have to ask. Otherwise, we will all be very sad."
Although the emperor's expression was quite serious, his words were really unconvincing, and even made Qiao Yuge feel that they were perfunctory.
Qiao Yege was not a person who liked to show weakness, but in order to obtain useful information, Qiao Yege had no choice but to be thick-skinned.
She took two steps at a time and came to the emperor, stretching out her bandaged hand in front of him: "Your Highness, please take a look, this wound is like this because of you? In this case, can you please tell me what I want to know for the sake of this wound?"
She looked at the emperor pitifully, innocently and helplessly.
The emperor looked up at Qiao Yege, and his heart was moved. It was his compassion.
The emperor opened his mouth, as if he was about to tell about the dusty past.
But the emperor finally waved his hand, turned aside, and said very heartlessly: "Qiao Yuge, don't ask anything, I won't tell you."
Qiao Yege looked at her hands, smiled helplessly, and said softly: "I am too ignorant and think too highly of myself. Who am I?"
How could she be so confident that the emperor would give her face? Could it be that just because the emperor showed her some favor, she thought she was someone important?
She forced herself to raise her eyes and smiled at the emperor. That bitter smile made people feel a little distressed.
She turned around and walked slowly out. The emperor opened his mouth and wanted to call Qiao Yuge's name, but saw that her back looked so lonely and desolate.
After Qiao Yuge finished singing, the emperor immediately sat on the chair next to him. At this time, a black shadow jumped down from the beam.
He was as light as a swallow and as quiet as a cat.
He brushed off his clothes, bowed in front of the emperor, and then asked curiously: "Your Highness, why don't you tell Miss Qiao what she wants to know?"
The emperor still didn't take his eyes away, his voice was a little hoarse: "What should I say? Should I say that we wronged her mother? Or her mother has already taken the blame for so many things? It was because of our royal family's injustice that Qiao Yuge's family was destroyed and she became lonely overnight?"
The person who came was Fengming. Fengming looked at the emperor and said this, and seemed to think that there was no need at all. After all, it was not the emperor who did this. The emperor was still a child at that time and did not need to bear any responsibility for these things.
"Your Majesty, you are too kind. This is not your fault."
Fengming comforted.
But the emperor gave a bitter smile and hesitated: "I am not kind. I just don't want to say it."
Fengming didn't understand at that time, there are things in the world that the emperor doesn't want to see?
The truth is the truth, and it will be discovered sooner or later, so what's the point of hiding it? Is it just to protect Qiao Yuge?
Of course, he never thought that some truths, once revealed, could never be undone.
There was no conversation that night. Qiao Yege woke up the next day, but she felt sore all over. Although the emperor had done something weird yesterday and injured her hand, she still felt sad in her heart. It was the sadness of not being trusted by the emperor, and the sadness of crossing the line.
As soon as she came out of the room, she met the nanny.
Of course, the head nanny also knew what happened between the emperor and Qiao Yuge.
Seeing that the emperor was reluctant to get up for a long time in the early morning and Qiao Yege was also in a daze, the head nanny felt uncomfortable.
In the past two days, because Qiao Yuge came to Taixing Palace, the previously unpopular Taixing Palace actually became more lively with the emperor and Qiao Yuge playing and playing.
It’s much better than the depressing atmosphere before.
But after just a few days, the two of them started to have a falling out.
The eldest nanny came over and said to Qiao Yuge, "Qiao girl, this matter shouldn't have troubled you. After all, you were injured yesterday, but the Queen Mother specifically asked you to do it. Do you think you can prepare it?"
"What is it?"
Qiao Yege asked softly.
"It's the girl from yesterday. I heard that she went to see the Empress Dowager. When the Empress Dowager heard that the Emperor didn't want her, she flew into a rage and asked her to stay and come with Concubine Ming the next day. The Empress Dowager also asked you to make sure that the Emperor and the others can have dinner together."
Qiao Yuge originally thought that the emperor was always surrounded by women who did not love him and were still very fond of him.
But Ruo Qiao Yege felt that she was overthinking!
Who is she? She is just a maid. Even if she is a time traveler, her status is extremely low. No matter how poor the emperor is, how can he be favored by her?
All she can do is to ensure her survival in the harem and protect herself well.
