Chapter 482 Decision to Take Action
When Concubine Mi came, she still had a glimmer of hope and expectation, but when she left the Palace of Heavenly Purity, she felt chilled to the bone and her heart was dead.
She was overconfident.
In that case, don't blame her for being rude!
No one in this palace really cares about her, no one takes her seriously, so what else is there for her to let go of?
What Yan said was right. Not only was she being bullied now, but the days when she would really be bullied were still to come!
What else could she hope for? The eldest prince? He was still young, already estranged from her by the Empress and the Zhou family. He was clearly distant in her presence, not showing any intimacy or closeness. Even when speaking to her, he was stern and reserved, wanting to stay a full foot away from her, as if he was afraid that getting too close would be disrespectful to his mother.
It is conceivable that when he grows up, how will he treat himself?
But if there is a chance to turn him right now, then why not give it a try?
The emperor is still alive, and he would never allow such a thing to happen. The only option is for him to die!
She would rather give it a try than continue suffering like a walking corpse in dire straits.
The Mi family members died, and the emperor covered it up as if nothing had happened. So, what if she, an equally useless imperial concubine, also died one day? What would the emperor do? I'm afraid he would just be thankful! Thankful that the eldest prince would no longer have any direct contact with the Mi family!
Concubine Mi became more and more angry and furious. She would never allow it!
Why!
Concubine Mi met with Yan again and expressed her intentions.
Yan was not surprised at all. It was too easy for such a fool, short-sighted and impulsive, to control her!
Yan was secretly delighted and disdainful, but she looked at Concubine Mi with pity and sympathy, and said softly, "Your Highness is indeed a decisive person with courage! As the saying goes, wealth and honor are sought in danger. When Your Highness is safe and prosperous in the future, you will surely be grateful to me, the sinner. Then, we will officially cooperate. I believe we will both get what we want, Your Highness!"
Concubine Mi smiled and nodded slightly.
There seemed to be a fire burning in her heart, and her ambition was like oil, adding fuel to the fire, making it even more fierce.
Imagining the beautiful and wonderful future described by Yan, Concubine Mi couldn't help but be excited and wished that the future she wished for would come true right now.
Of course, we are not far away now, and it is almost the last step.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
"Yeah, same here."
Yan smiled and continued, "Your Highness, I have something to say. I beg Your Highness to forgive me. It's said that even brothers should settle accounts, especially when it comes to such a big business as ours. I dare to ask Your Highness to give me a guarantee."
Concubine Mi frowned subconsciously, feeling a little unhappy, but she also knew that what Yan said was not excessive, and was even natural.
If Yan didn't want any guarantees, she might feel uneasy.
"I don't know what kind of security you want."
Yan smiled and took out two things from her bosom: "Your Highness, we will each have one. Please read it and put your fingerprint on it."
Concubine Mi took it, and Yan lit the weak tinder. Concubine Mi hurriedly read the book in the dim light.
Although Concubine Mi was not very literate, she understood the general meaning and pressed her fingerprint on it without hesitation.
In reality, the guarantee was just a way to reassure her. She believed that Yan, the sinner, would not dare to deceive her. She herself had fallen into such a state, so what right did she have to play tricks in front of her?
Even if I succeed and hold all the power, would I still be afraid of this thing? If Yan Shi shows some sense, I'll give her everything she deserves. However, if she's greedy or tries to use this to blackmail me into doing something, then don't blame me for being rude. Even if I kill her, who in this deep palace would mind?
Yan was very satisfied. She carefully folded up her contract and put it in her arms. She smiled and said to Concubine Mi, "Your Highness is so straightforward! We are now family. In this case, to avoid any further complications, how about tomorrow? Your Highness, please start tomorrow!"
Concubine Mi was stunned and subconsciously hesitated again.
At this point, it was impossible to retreat, and Yan would not allow her to retreat.
But Yan knew that she couldn't be pushed too hard on such matters, otherwise if she panicked and did something wrong, wouldn't that be a loss?
At worst, she can just be more patient and slowly guide her.
Unexpectedly, there was no need for Yan to persuade her, as Concubine Mi had made up her mind on her own.
What else does she have to hesitate about?
The Emperor didn't seek justice for the Mi family. He owed them their lives. If he didn't take action, he was afraid that one day the Mi family would all be killed by him! In the hands of the Duke of Liguo's Mansion! In that case, what couldn't he do?
This is all for self-protection.
"Okay, tomorrow!"
"Your Highness is truly a decisive and ruthless woman. I admire you immensely! I'm waiting for good news from you. When the time comes, please don't forget to take control of the Palace of Heavenly Purity and get the Crown Prince on your side. Don't let the Empress take advantage, or you'll be helping someone else in vain. When the time comes, please notify me immediately. I have some people under my command who I believe can help you."
Concubine Mi thought about it and realized that in a critical moment, her own son might not be as useful as an ally like the Yan family. Maybe her own son would turn to the Queen at that time. In that case, it would be safer to join forces with the Yan family.
"Okay, just wait! I will definitely notify you as soon as the time comes."
"Then it's settled. I'm waiting for good news from the Imperial Concubine."
"snort."
Concubine Mi sneaked back to her bedroom, and Yan also quietly returned to the cold palace.
She didn't even glance at the late emperor who was lying on the bed, unable to move, emaciated and looking like he would not live for many days. She just glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, sneered silently, and her eyes were full of disgust.
This extremely selfish man finally ended up like this. She actually felt a little happy in her heart!
He was suspicious, selfish, and conceited. Although she seemed to be the most favored concubine in those years, she was actually worried all the time, afraid that one day she would say something wrong or even something that he didn't like, and all her efforts would be wasted.
