Chapter 787 The Emperor is Cheating (Twenty-Five)
In addition to Shanhu, Min Huang also heard the voices of several other palace maids and eunuchs in Baiji Palace.
Only then did he feel relieved - his supernatural powers were still there.
But why was Concubine Yu an exception?
Is there something peculiar about her?
Or, is she, like me, a person of great fortune favored by God? But, how could it be? I am the emperor, the Son of Heaven.
And Yu was just a woman.
Wait, if we must go by status, Yu was born into a military family and was the head of the Four Concubines, so she can also be considered noble.
But looking at the entire harem, there are women who are more noble than Yu.
Queen Mother Wang, Queen Gu, which one is not more noble than Imperial Concubine Yu?!
Having only acquired his magical powers last night, Min Huang has already heard Queen Gu's thoughts, but Queen Mother Wang is...
Min Huang didn't show it on his face, but his mind was full of various speculations.
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty?"
Seeing that Min Huang finished that line but didn't continue, Concubine Yu felt a little strange.
She stared at Min Huang's face, suppressed the hatred in her heart, and tried her best to appear as cute and innocent as usual.
“…”
Min Huang then woke up and realized that he had lost his composure in front of Concubine Yu.
He quickly gathered his thoughts and continued his performance.
"The main reason is that I don't know how to tell Jiaojiao at the moment."
"Alas, Jiaojiao, you are the smartest and most considerate. You should know that although I am in charge of the government, ..."
Min Huang began to speak the lines that Concubine Yu was very familiar with.
What about the empress dowager who "retired but refused to retreat", keeping an eye on the previous dynasty even in the harem; what about the old ministers who took advantage of their seniority and looked down on the new monarch.
Concubine Yu pinched her palms hard, and her well-manicured nails left small crescents on her tender palms.
It was indeed this rhetoric! She was indeed reborn! So, Min Huang really lied to her.
Therefore, in two years, everyone around her will die one by one, and the Yu family will also -
"Jiaojiao, I want to establish my authority! I must let my subjects know that the emperor's authority cannot be offended."
"...I, ah, looking at the entire court, the only person I can use to establish my authority is my second uncle."
Min Huang couldn't hear Concubine Yu's thoughts, so he could only observe her words and expressions.
As for Concubine Yu, perhaps she had gone through some psychological preparation, or perhaps her rebirth was not in vain.
Not only was I cured of my love-brain problem, but I also learned how to control my emotions.
Maybe it's not perfect yet, but it has changed a lot from the former Yu Jiaojiao.
At least, Min Huang could only see that Concubine Yu was not in a good mood, but thinking of Shanhu's feelings, he took the initiative to help Concubine Yu find an outlet.
Just now, Yu Jiaojiao had a nightmare while taking a nap.
She is a straightforward woman and can be seen through at a glance.
If you are unhappy or uncomfortable, you will show it.
Min Huang didn't even think about death and rebirth.
Although Min Huang himself has acquired supernatural powers, he is still a superior who believes in "a gentleman should not speak of strange and supernatural things" in his heart.
Feudal superstitions and the like are mostly tricks created by those in power to fool the people.
As a person in a higher position, how could Min Huang easily believe in these supernatural things?
"..."So, in order to establish your authority, you beat my second uncle with a stick for no reason?
Concubine Yu was filled with hatred.
But I can't let it show even a little bit.
She is no longer the Yu Jiaojiao of the past. She is now a ghost crawling back from hell!
She wants revenge!
Min Huang likes to destroy the bridge after crossing it, huh, then she, the "bridge", will leave in advance and see how Min Huang can cross the river?
Didn’t Min Huang slander the Yu family’s army for rebellion? Then the Yu family, ahem, can’t say anything, can’t say anything.
Concubine Yu was thinking randomly, but she was doing better and better at pretending to be nice.
She then imitated her past life and said with a look of understanding: "I know! I know everything!"
"Jiulang, don't worry, the Yu family and I will always stand firmly behind you!"
Min Huang was satisfied that he had successfully fooled Concubine Yu, so he generously rewarded Yu Heng with some things according to the plan he had come up with.
"...Yu Shi didn't seem to have anything unusual."
"But not being able to hear her inner voice is always a problem."
"It seems that I need to investigate her thoroughly!"
While Min Huang was coaxing Concubine Yu affectionately, he was also calmly and cruelly planning to target her.
As for Concubine Yu, she hated him in her heart but tried her best to act perfectly on her face.
A man and a woman, both have their own thoughts, but they still try their best to play the roles of the affectionate emperor and the infatuated concubine.
Huoshui: ...Oh my god, no wonder Her Majesty the Queen always calls me a little idiot.
With my IQ and acting skills, if I were to star in this palace fighting drama, I would probably be given a beating in the first episode.
Gu Qingcheng: ...You are quite self-aware.
After passing the news to Concubine Yu, Gu Qingcheng did not just ignore it.
The original owner managed the harem really well.
Not to mention the specific palace affairs, just the control over each important palace made the original owner worthy of the identity of "Master of the Harem".
She placed people in all the major palaces, including the Baiji Palace.
The means include but are not limited to bribery, favors, etc.
In three years, the original owner might not be able to win everyone's hearts, but she has already woven a big network.
As long as Gu Qingcheng wanted, if the palace maids in a certain palace had a quarrel today, Gu Qingcheng could know the content of their quarrel at the first time.
"Your Majesty, the people at Baiji Palace sent back news that Concubine Yu became a little abnormal after her nap."
"She seemed to have a nightmare... She had a long secret conversation with Shanhu and several other trusted palace maids in the bedroom."
"After His Majesty finished handling state affairs, he went straight to Baiji Palace without even changing into his formal attire."
In Anyi Palace, Gu Qingcheng leaned on the chaise longue by the window.
The bright sunshine shines through the window and falls on people, making them feel warm all over.
Gu Qingcheng covered her mouth and yawned, "Okay, I got it! Have someone keep watching."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Yes! Your Majesty! By the way, when His Majesty left Baiji Palace, he granted Concubine Yu the grace to go home and visit General Yu!"
The little palace maid continued to report.
A sneer flashed in Gu Qingcheng's eyes: Min Huang is very cunning, giving a slap and then a red date.
It’s a pity that the current Concubine Yu is no longer the simple Yu Jiaojiao of the past.
She is Niu Hulu Jiaojiao! She tried to hold back the evil, but in the end she couldn't hold it back any longer, and it rolled out of the small dark room again.
"Your Majesty, how do you know that Concubine Yu has been reborn?"
It's really curious.
It knew that Her Majesty the Queen Mother had planted spies in Baiji Palace, and it also knew that Her Majesty the Queen Mother had already known about Concubine Yu's abnormality.
But, Huoshui just can’t understand why “abnormality” doesn’t necessarily mean rebirth.
It could be a time travel, or it could be bound to the system.
Gu Qingcheng: ...I didn’t know it originally, but there was a little idiot who told me.
However, if this was the case, Gu Qingcheng was not going to say it out loud to "stir up" trouble.
After all, Gu Qingcheng still wants to continue using the little idiot's God's perspective to obtain more information.
She pretended to be deep and raised the corners of her lips, "Because Concubine Yu has changed a lot, but not that much."
The change was so great that even a little palace maid sweeping the yard heard about it.
But Min Huang, as her bedmate, had no doubts, which shows that Concubine Yu is still Concubine Yu and her heart has not been replaced.
Therefore, she could only be reborn! Gu Qingcheng learned the answer from Huoshui and gave the reason based on the answer.
Huoshui was stunned by Gu Qingcheng's trick, "Oh! So that's how it is! Your Majesty, you are still the best!"
Gu Qingcheng smiled slightly, "Of course!"
Huoshui: ...Shouldn’t you be humble for a moment?
Gu Qingcheng: ...What is modesty? In my dictionary, there is only "telling the truth"! Huoshui was choked a little again, feeling a little depressed.
As a super AI that can open up a God's perspective, Huoshui feels that he is obviously very awesome.
Why can't I get any advantage in front of Her Majesty the Queen? Well, even if I can't get any advantage, at least I don't have to be treated as a moron all the time.
In order to prove that he was actually very powerful, Huoshui couldn't help but show off a little:
"Your Majesty, do you know what Concubine Xie is doing?"
"Also, what secret does the Queen Mother have?"
Gu Qingcheng: ...I think so! However, the experience of two lifetimes and countless experiences in the small world made Gu Qingcheng deeply understand one truth -
The more you want something, the less anxious you should be.
People (systems?) all have a rebellious mentality in their bones.
I also have some ideas that I want to control.
Gu Qingcheng would never reveal her cards, nor would she let anyone catch her "weaknesses".
"In no mood!"
Gu Qingcheng quickly replied with the word "disaster".
Huoshui: ...Ahhh! Your Majesty, can't you satisfy my vanity and desire to show off a little?
Humph, you don't want to hear it, but I'm going to tell you anyway! "Tiffany Xie is going on a hunger strike, threatening to die!"
"And the Queen Mother, haha, you would never imagine that she, she actually -"
He had said half of his words when Huoshui maliciously swallowed the rest of the sentence.
Ha! You really think I'm mentally retarded! Her Majesty the Queen must really want to know, but she deliberately pretends not to care and uses "provocation" to induce me to tell you! Hehe, I won't!
Gu Qingcheng: ...Oh wow! The little idiot has become smarter.
Everyone knows that they are deliberately keeping it a secret! Gu Qingcheng's curiosity was indeed aroused a little, but she was not going to be controlled by the evildoer.
The so-called "secrets" of the women in the harem are just a few:
"The Queen Mother has a lover?"
Don't think that the Queen Mother will really observe mourning for the late Emperor.
When it comes to having fun, the empress dowager plays more lavishly than ordinary women.
Huoshui: "Your Majesty, you know this again?"
Gu Qingcheng glanced at Huoshui, and then she pretended to be confident, saying, "Of course I know." She said, "It must be Ah Xian."
Huoshui: ... Holy crap! Holy crap!! Gu Qingcheng saw Huoshui's reaction and knew that she had succeeded in "tricking" him again.
Well, the Queen Mother is really awesome, she’s popular with both men and women.
Alas, I don’t know how Min Huang, who can hear the inner voice, will react after knowing such a palace secret! Min Huang: …
He was completely confused, okay?!
