"Something terrible has happened!"
Suddenly, a young eunuch rushed in, looking very anxious.
"It's terrible! Your Majesty, Consort Yu has been in grave danger!"
"What's wrong with Yu Yu?"
Li Shengyuan was startled and turned around.
The young eunuch swallowed hard, panting, and said:
"Your Majesty, please go and see! Consort Yu heard that everyone is saying she plotted to murder Consort Mi, and she's so distraught that she's trying to commit suicide by jumping into the water!"
Li Shengyuan looked behind him, but Mi Shan couldn't see his expression.
But you could still sense his anxiety through his suddenly rapid pulse.
"Yu Yu!"
He shouted, abruptly shook off Mi Shan's hand, and rushed out like the wind.
Mi Shan frowned slightly, staggered a few steps after being thrown by him, and almost fell.
Fortunately, Achan, who was beside her, reached out and caught her in time.
Mi Shan raised her eyes and watched the golden figure disappear through the door.
Empress Rouci stood there, stunned.
After a while, he withdrew his eyes, a fleeting but terrifying killing intent appearing on his gloomy face.
"Your Majesty, has His Majesty and you come here on some important matter?"
Mi Shan silently observed her reaction, her gaze remaining calm and unchanging.
“It used to be there… but now it’s gone!” Empress Rouci tried her best to suppress her dissatisfaction and make her tone sound kind.
Yet it still gives people a stiff feeling.
"What do you mean by that, Your Majesty?"
“Yu Yu, he only thinks about that Yu Yu!” Empress Rouci’s face flashed with sorrow. She found a place to sit down, slammed her hand heavily on the table next to her, and stared at her intently.
There was an indescribable meaning in that gaze.
It seems that she is trying to see someone else through her.
Mi Shan frowned slightly, feeling uneasy.
"I originally thought that if he selected you to enter the palace, he would at least restrain himself and stop favoring that vixen!"
"But unexpectedly, compared to you, Bai Lingyu is still more important to him!"
Mi Shan pursed her thin lips, remaining silent as she listened quietly to what she had to say.
Seeing this, the servants in the palace wisely retreated outside.
They know which words are safe to listen to and which words could cost them their lives.
"Mi Jieyu, aren't you angry at all? The Emperor came with me to seek justice for you!"
“You were framed by that vixen. He doesn’t believe me, so I’ll have him come and see your injuries for himself.”
But he abandoned you and ran away!
Why didn't you react at all?
The Empress paused, looking at her with a strange gaze.
Mi Shan's eyes flickered slightly, and she lowered her eyelashes: "This concubine has no right to be angry. Nor has she ever thought of comparing herself to Consort Yu."
"Don't you hate her? She ruined that part of your skin...it's like ruining your future! Don't you know how important that area is to a woman?"
"I don't hate."
Mi Shan answered calmly, thinking to herself,
Why should I hate her?
If anyone is to hate, it's you.
On the surface, however, no emotion was visible.
There was no real injury; it was just a fake wound.
"You..." Empress Rouci was astonished; she couldn't understand the woman before her at all!
At such a young age,
Is it because she is cunning and knows how to hide her emotions?
Or is he just a fool? Born dull-witted?
"Your Majesty, I only wish to live a peaceful life in the harem and have never thought of vying for the Emperor's favor."
"To have undisturbed peace is my only wish."
Mi Shan lowered her eyelashes and spoke indifferently.
The Empress was merely trying to incite her emotions.
They're just using her to deal with Consort Yu.
She had already succeeded in the previous incident with the Jade-Eyed Toad.
This time, we can't let her get away with it so easily.
"But I feel guilty for not being able to seek justice for you..."
"It's alright, Your Majesty has done your best. It's just that I'm unlucky."
"I do have another way to make it happen,"
"No need. Your Majesty, I thank you for your kindness."
"..."
"Um."
The empress remained silent for a long time before finally giving up on trying to win her over to her own side.
He glanced at her coolly with his lowered eyes and stepped down from his seat.
His eyes seemed to show considerable disappointment in her.
"Alright, I should go and see Consort Yu now. She's making a scene about jumping into the water, and I'm afraid Yuqing Palace is in complete chaos right now."
"Respectfully seeing off Her Majesty the Empress."
Mi Shan saw her to the door, watching her retreating figure disappear into the distance, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
A cold wind lifted the light veil covering her body, revealing her slender and shapely figure.
Empress,
How could I possibly think of her unconditionally?
Once you accept her "kindness," you have to do things for her.
After a while, the only outcome was death.
"My lady, it's windy outside, please come inside."
Achan took a cloak and gently wrapped it around her shoulders.
Xun'er also came to comfort her, her eyes full of pity:
"Your Highness, please don't be sad. Consort Yu entered the palace early and is favored by the Emperor, so it's normal for him to care about her."
"Our days in the palace are long; we'll see His Majesty again someday."
Mi Shan remained silent, her gaze deep and unfathomable.
Recalling the moment I felt Li Shengyuan's pulse,
The deathly aura I sensed
Li Shengyuan's voice, however, is full of energy and masculine.
This is too bizarre.
A hollow pulse is a clear sign of internal organ failure and limited time left.
“Xun’er, you were standing close just now, did you get a good look at Emperor Yuan’s face? Did he have any dark aura on his face? Especially between his eyebrows and under his eyes.”
"Huh, what, what black aura?"
Xun'er looked blank, clearly stumped by the question.
"My lady, if you want to know what His Majesty looks like, whether he's handsome or not, Xun'er can tell you."
But if you ask me if there's any dark circles under my eyes or between my eyebrows, Xun'er really didn't notice.
"His Majesty is the supreme ruler, and if he possesses such virtue, it must be righteousness!"
"..."
never mind.
Mi Shan didn't make things difficult for her anymore.
I still have to find a way to meet the emperor again.
"My lady, why are you leaving? Don't you care what His Majesty looks like?"
Xun'er was about to say something more when Achan stopped her.
He shook his head.
He gestured for her to stop nagging and let the young lady rest quietly for a while.
-
Yuqing Palace.
Large, fluffy clouds drifted swiftly across the sky.
The woman, soaking wet, was wrapped in a soft white fox fur coat and held a hot water bottle. She was curled up in the emperor's arms, her long white hair cascading down her back, and her skin was so white it was almost transparent.
She was carried horizontally by a tall, handsome man and walked towards the bedroom.
