Chapter 573: A Different Way of Living
"Does your Majesty have any ideas? Tell me."
Concubine Zhang lazily lay on the beauty couch, supporting her forehead with one hand, looking straight at Xu Muhua, and smiled slightly: "What do you think I can think of? What else can I think of? I am the favorite concubine. If something happens to the emperor, I am afraid that I will not have a good ending!"
Xu Muhua: "... Your Majesty, we are all in the same boat. Why do you have to test me like this? Aren't we friends? Since we are friends, just say what you want to say. You are hesitating. It hurts my heart."
Concubine Zhang sneered.
Xu Muhua was speechless.
Why doesn't Concubine Zhang believe it?
Well, who made her a beauty? She always had a high tolerance for beauties.
She dragged the stool and moved towards the beauty couch. Concubine Zhang looked at her coldly without saying a word.
She wanted to see what Xu Muhua was going to do. As soon as she saw her sneaky look, she knew it was definitely not a good thing!
Xu Muhua first looked around to make sure no one was paying attention, let alone eavesdropping, then she lowered her voice and asked, "Your Majesty, you are still so young. If the emperor really can't hold on, you will go to the royal temple. Even if someone protects you, your life will not be easy."
"In that case, why not change your identity and try a different way? Life is long, and you have to try other ways of life, right?"
Concubine Zhang's expression disappeared, and her eyebrows slightly frowned, "So?"
Xu Muhua smiled, "Then why not pretend to die and say that you are going to follow the emperor. Then, your Majesty can take trustworthy people, silver and banknotes, and go to the vast sea and sky!" Concubine
Zhang was stunned.
After a while, she sat up, looking serious, and stared at Xu Muhua for a while.
Xu Muhua let her look at her, with a natural and frank expression.
"Are you sure?"
Xu Muhua choked.
Why ask her if she is sure? She is not the one who is going to fake her death! Isn't this a question that Concubine Zhang should consider herself? Why ask her?
"Your Majesty, you should consider this yourself!"
Xu Muhua said unhappily.
Is Concubine Zhang treating her like her mother?
Concubine Zhang lay back down, "Didn't you bring this up? Of course you have to solve it."
Xu Muhua: This is unreasonable!
But who called her a beauty!
"Well, since we know each other, I'll arrange this. You should also prepare yourself and think it over carefully. If you change your mind, let someone notify me."
Seeing that she was serious and didn't seem to be joking or teasing her, Concubine Zhang looked at her for a while and then sat up. "Are you serious? You are not lying to me or teasing me? Can you really let me leave the palace and live outside the palace with a different identity?" Concubine
Zhang seemed to be very calm and indifferent, but seeing that she even forgot to use "This Palace", you could tell what her mood was at that moment.
"Your Majesty knows what kind of person I am. Do you think I am someone who would joke about such a thing? Your Majesty is still so young. It doesn't make sense for your life to be ruined like this. Your Majesty still has a chance to start over. Since there is such an opportunity, of course you must seize it and make good use of it."
She believed that Concubine Zhang had a lot of money herself and could survive well even if she left the palace. Of course, it would be very dangerous for such a beautiful woman like her to be alone. She could help with this.
She also believed that with Concubine Zhang's brain, she would not have failed to consider this problem. If she had considered it, she would naturally think of a solution.
"But, Your Majesty, I still have to make some things clear. If this is really the case, you may not be able to live a rich and luxurious life in the future. You may have to live like an ordinary person, with simple meals and even have to work in the fields and earn money yourself."
Concubine Zhang's eyes seemed to be shining, "What is simple meals? Can it be more painful and tormenting than staying in the palace? As for earning money yourself, who said that money must be earned by yourself? I have money, can't I let others help me earn money?"
There are many people in this world who have abilities but cannot use them because of poverty. When the time comes, she will recruit some such people and drive them to help her do things. They get paid to do things, get rewarded, and can improve their difficult situation. She can sit back and wait to get paid. It's a two-pronged approach!
Xu Muhua was shocked.
I didn't expect that Concubine Zhang would have such awareness! Isn't this the same as fund management in later generations?
"One more thing, your majesty, if you fake your death and leave, you will never be able to recognize your family in the future."
Concubine Zhang's expression faded, "They have their own lives and have people around them. It doesn't matter whether I'm there or not."
Without her, her parents still have other children. Maybe they will be sad when they hear the news of her death, but she believes that this sadness will not last too long.
So she has nothing to let go of.
She has already repaid her parents for raising her. If she has the opportunity in the future, she just wants to live for herself!
Xu Muhua did not want to say anything more about her relationship with the Zhang family.
"Anyway, your Majesty, please think carefully. You are a woman, and a beautiful one at that. Once you leave the palace, without the protection of your family, what you encounter outside may be far beyond your imagination, and may be a thousand times more difficult than you think!"
Concubine Zhang glanced at her: "Why do you sound like you want to persuade me to give up and spend the rest of my life in the royal temple?"
Without waiting for Xu Muhua to answer, she said: "Or are you hinting that you want me to disgrace myself before I leave?"
Xu Muhua shook her head, looking disappointed: "Your Majesty, why are you so disappointed?" How can you be so mean? Am I not worried about you, afraid that you will regret it in the future and blame me? That's why I remind you now! "
Concubine Zhang snorted coldly, "Don't worry, I am not a person who doesn't know what is good for me and repays kindness with enmity. If something really happens after I leave in the future, I will only think that it is my fate. I don't have the habit of blaming others and shirking responsibility. "
Even if there will be many difficulties and dangers after leaving the palace, as long as you have enjoyed the freedom outside the palace, it will be worth it. What is there to regret.
Xu Muhua just felt that it was a pity that there were no mobile phones in ancient times, otherwise she could record what Concubine Zhang just said and keep it as evidence.
"Well, Madam, please think carefully and prepare. We will wait for the most appropriate time to come!"
Concubine Zhang nodded, not caring about the emperor's life or death.
