In the palace, everyone was used to the relationship between Concubine Ru and Ju An.
Because Wei Ling claimed to be Concubine Ru's aunt. Wei Ling also said that Ju'an was her brother's son and Concubine Ru's cousin.
So everyone thinks that cousins don’t avoid suspicion like cousins do.
The new emperor had met Ju'an several times and felt that Ju'an was a very good person with good conversation and good manners.
In addition, the new emperor remembered that Hua Wanru's brother died early in her previous life, so she was always alone and helpless.
Now that Concubine Ru has a cousin, he is willing to let his cousin see Concubine Ru more often, which can be regarded as a disguised form of compensation.
In Concubine Ru's palace, Concubine Ru glared at Ju An and moved away from him.
"Humph, do you think I'm a three-year-old girl?"
"So easy to fool!"
Seeing her leave, Ju An was not angry. After all, it was just a casual act, so it didn't matter who he did it with.
Concubine Ru asked, her eyes flickering and her slender jade fingers tapping the table.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
She knew that Ju'an usually came over because Wei Ling had something to ask her, but when Wei Ling was not available, it was Ju'an who came to the palace to find her.
Ju An took a sip of tea, put away the unruly smile on his face, and said lightly.
"Your Highness, let me remind the Queen."
"Everything is ready, it's time to act."
Concubine Ru was a little unhappy. "Your Highness, you really like to urge people."
Ju An's face was a little cold, and he looked at Concubine Ru steadily.
"The imperial concubine probably forgot her own identity..."
Concubine Ru gritted her teeth and stopped talking.
Ju An continued, "Her Royal Highness has arranged everything. All that's left is for the Imperial Concubine to convince the Emperor to go to Hanshan Temple with you to burn incense and pray for blessings tomorrow."
Concubine Ru gritted her teeth and did not agree directly, but asked back.
"Your Highness, you have promised me that I will take the throne of Queen."
“I don’t know, when will it be fulfilled?”
In fact, Concubine Ru's original name was Meidie, and she was a prostitute in Yangzhou. But by chance, she was discovered by Wei Ling, who thought she was pretty and redeemed her.
It was originally used to win over officials.
Later, by chance, it was discovered that Zhao Zecheng, who was then the eldest grandson of the emperor, was in love with the eldest daughter of the Hua family, Hua Wanru.
And she just happened to look like Hua Wanru.
So they kept her, and later found a way to send her to Gao Yuanlin.
Sent to the palace by Gao Yuanlin.
Gao Yuanlin's original intention was just to let some of his people enter the palace to serve as maids and spies.
I never expected that Mei Die would be favored by the new emperor.
Meidie said she was Gao Yuanlin's daughter, Gao Ruer. This was also planned by Wei Ling in advance.
Gao Yuanlin thought that Meidie had come up with this idea on the spur of the moment.
So, Gao Yuanlin was completely tricked.
Mei Die was favored by Zhao Zecheng and was directly given the title of concubine, and later the title of noble concubine.
But her greed grew. She felt that Zhao Zecheng really loved her and had her in his heart.
Therefore, she wanted to become Zhao Zecheng's legal wife, the most respected queen in the world. She felt that this was what she deserved.
Ju An's eyes flickered slightly and he snorted coldly.
"Human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant. You are now a concubine."
Concubine Ru didn't care. "She's just a concubine, not the real queen."
"I want to be the emperor's legal wife."
He actually took a sip of tea and said.
"Your Highness Princess will definitely be able to do what she promised you, but you have to do your part as well."
"Maybe tomorrow you will be able to fulfill your wish."
Concubine Ru opened her eyes wide, full of anticipation.
"Well, I will persuade the emperor to go to Hanshan Temple tomorrow to burn incense and pray for blessings!"
Ju An nodded.
But he still couldn't help but remind her, "My Lady, don't get carried away."
"After all, you just look like her, not really her."
"Don't forget, she's still alive."
"If the Emperor knew that she was still alive, you would probably lose your position as Imperial Concubine."
Concubine Ru tightened her grip on the teacup. There was a flash of panic on her face, followed by a sinister smile.
He soon calmed down.
"I know this, I don't need you to remind me."
"Besides, I think that person would rather hide in a deep ditch, like a mouse, never seeing the light of day!"
In fact, she had originally thought of finding a group of people to assassinate Hua Wanru, but she quickly gave up the idea.
Back then, the old emperor sent so many experts, but they were able to let their family escape. This shows that the people under their command are more powerful than the old emperor's men.
She felt that she didn't have the ability to do so, so she gave up the idea.
Anyway, Hua Wanru doesn't want to come back, so I'll find a way to make sure the emperor never knows any news about her!
Just as Concubine Ru finished speaking, the door suddenly opened.
The emperor pushed the door open and walked in, asking with a gentle smile on his face.
"Who was Ru'er talking about just now?"
"What rat?"
Concubine Ru was surprised that the emperor had come. She quickly stood up and went to greet the emperor.
Ju'an also stood up and bowed to the side.
Concubine Ru was a little nervous, but fortunately, nothing happened between her and Ju An.
Thinking of what she said, he felt a little flustered and quickly said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, why are you here?"
"Don't even let my father-in-law tell me."
"I like to dress up."
The emperor looked gentle, "I like Ru'er no matter what she looks like. There's no need to dress her up!"
