Huoshui: ...Your Majesty, what are you going to do?
For some reason, Huoshui suddenly had a bad feeling.
From the very beginning of this mission, Huoshui felt that something was wrong.
Her Majesty the Queen behaved in a very contradictory manner - low-key, yet sharp.
On the one hand, she doesn’t do her missions very aggressively (competing with Min Huang for power);
On the other hand, she holds a disdainful attitude towards important characters, including Min Huang.
It seems that these people are all idiots who make Her Majesty the Queen full of complaints.
This is somewhat different from the Queen Mother in the past.
Gu Qingcheng, whom Huoshui is familiar with, basically does more and talks less, and is a master strategist with no omissions in his plans.
And this time, Gu Qingcheng complained more times than she planned.
Just when Huoshui thought that Her Majesty had changed her strategy, she suddenly -
"Oh no! Her Majesty the Queen is going to cause trouble!"
The CPU, the source of trouble, began to worry, but it couldn't guess what Her Majesty the Queen was going to do!
It could only think hard while watching helplessly.
"My Lady, Mrs. Yu is dying. She wants to see you!"
Just one day before Concubine Yu died, the palace maid whispered to Gu Qingcheng.
"……knew!"
Gu Qingcheng responded indifferently, ordered someone to call the imperial physician, and headed towards Baiji Palace.
Baiji Palace has been sealed and turned into the cold palace in the palace.
The palace gates were closed and the courtyard was deserted.
Apart from the two palace maids most trusted by Concubine Yu - Shanhu and Feicui, and one or two sturdy palace servants, there was no one else.
The huge palace was cold, deserted and desolate.
Concubine Yu was lying on the couch, her face was sallow and she looked thin, completely unlike her former brightness and flamboyance.
"You're here!"
Seeing that dignified and noble figure, Concubine Yu did not move, but maintained her original posture.
She sighed and said softly, "Queen, aren't you tired?"
"Every day I maintain the facade of being the mother of the country, not daring to laugh or make noise, like a puppet without a self."
There was obvious compassion in her words.
Gu Qingcheng: ...I almost scared myself to death. After being reborn, I ended up like this. Instead of reflecting on myself, I actually have the leisure to pity others?
I really don’t know whether to say that Concubine Yu is too stupid or that she still has a conscience!
"It's useless! No matter how well-behaved you are, Min Huang won't take it to heart."
"No! That's not right. He has no heart at all!"
"The imperial family is the most ruthless! I treated him with all my heart, but he——"
Concubine Yu seemed to be lost in her own emotions, and she didn't need Gu Qingcheng's response at all, she just kept talking to herself.
"It's ridiculous that I get cheated again and again. Men can't be trusted. She's also a woman, so why did she cheat on me?"
"They say they are forming an alliance, but in reality they are exploiting each other."
"It was so close! If her crime hadn't been exposed first, the Yu family would have been overthrown again!"
Concubine Yu's thoughts were a little confused, which could be seen from her incoherent words.
If you don't know her background, you won't understand at all.
Fortunately, Gu Qingcheng knew it.
"Do you think the Queen Mother exposed herself?"
Gu Qingcheng stood a few steps away from the couch. This position was very strange, as it happened to be the intersection of light and shadow in the room.
Gu Qingcheng was half in the sun and half in the shadow, looking inexplicably mysterious.
She said calmly, "As expected, rebirth only gives you another life, but it doesn't give you another brain."
Even the soul showed no abnormalities except for an extra halo.
Gu Qingcheng's voice was calm, but to Concubine Yu, it was like a bolt from the blue.
"What? W-What did you say?"
She actually knew that I was reborn?
"It's not just me! Even Min Huang might not know what happened to you, but he knows that you are Yu Jiaojiao, but you are not!"
Gu Qingcheng still spoke in a calm tone.
“This, this—”
Concubine Yu was in a state of panic and surprise.
You think you have the biggest secret, but it has already been seen through?
"That's right! Everyone saw it. The Queen Mother, and your sister-in-law Wang!"
Gu Qingcheng was very kind-hearted and decided to let Concubine Yu be a "clear-headed ghost".
"Also, the Yu family wasn't held accountable, and they only asked General Yu to pass the military power to Junior General Yu. Was it because of your meritorious service in turning yourself in?"
Gu Qingcheng's tone was still calm, but Concubine Yu could still hear a hint of sarcasm in it.
Perhaps it was because she was about to die, Concubine Yu's not-so-bright brain suddenly became brighter, "Sister-in-law? Wang?"
"You, you and Wang?"
The Yu family seemed to have "escaped unscathed" from this storm, but in fact it was not the case.
Although General Yu and Major General Yu are father and son, General Yu also trains Major General Yu as his heir.
However, Major General Yu was only a "tiger cub" after all. Whether in terms of personal ability or prestige in the army, he was far inferior to General Yu.
The sudden change of the head of the Yu family is not conducive to the control of the Yu family army.
If things go wrong, the Yu family army may even change their surname.
Before Gu Qingcheng's "reminder", Concubine Yu mistakenly believed that the Yu family was implicated by her and had no choice but to do so.
Now it seems that the real situation is even more complicated and dirty than I imagined!
"If you and the Queen Mother can form an alliance, why can't Madam Wang and I?"
