Chapter 862 The Eldest Young Master and Sang Yu Pianpian...
He Lan Yanran was stunned, feeling utterly ridiculous that the steward of the Shang family could be so mean.
Her eyes were full of grievance. "I left the palace with him because I liked him. I was with him regardless of everything because I loved him. Now that I don't love him anymore, what was the point of leaving the palace? What was the point of getting pregnant with his child? What is the point of making myself so miserable?"
He said he would marry me. Even if I didn't want the identity of Helan Yanran, he would give me happiness and wouldn't let me suffer any grievances. We agreed that we would always be together and that he wouldn't marry anyone else. But now he's going to marry someone else.
I've been in the palace for two years, but the emperor doesn't like me. He doesn't even want to touch me. I thought I would spend countless days and nights alone in the deep palace like this.
But then he appeared. When I flew kites, he would write poems on them to cheer me up. I thought that finally there was someone who understood me, cherished me, and loved me...
"Your Majesty has the Emperor, so of course you think love isn't important. But I'm also a woman, and I also want to have someone I love who will always treat me well, just like Your Majesty."
Helan Yanran felt unbearable pain. "If he doesn't love me, I'll just die. I'll take his child with me and make him regret it..." Helan Yanran was trapped in a dead end. She wanted to use her death to win back Shang Hong's love.
"Smack!"
Jiang Fenghua slapped her across the face. She regretted helping Helan Yanran: "Calm down. Do you want to make your loved ones suffer and your enemies rejoice?"
Helan Yanran was also stunned. She covered her face. The people she felt most sorry for were her father and mother. She had brought shame to them.
"Did he keep his promises to you? He's married someone else now, do you still think he loves you?"
Jiang Fenghua said coldly, "Besides needing love, you are also the emperor's concubine. Your memorial tablet has been placed in the imperial mausoleum. Do you know what this means? You were born a member of the royal family, and you will die as a ghost of the royal family. But now you have betrayed the royal family, which means your Helan family has become traitors."
Do you think you entered the palace to fall in love with the Emperor? You are the daughter of the Marquis of Changping, don't you even understand this simple principle? If you're not clear-headed, then clear your head before you speak.
Now, whether you live or die, your Helan family will be smeared. Your mother will be unable to hold her head high in front of Madam Shang, and your father will be looked down upon by his colleagues. Your brother has been in poor health since childhood; he is also someone who could die at any time, yet he lives life to the fullest. And you say you want to die for a man? I shouldn't have saved you from the palace in the first place, letting the Emperor grant you a white silk noose."
Jiang Fenghua was also angered by her. She didn't want to meddle in other people's business with a woman who didn't know how to cherish herself.
Helan Yanran is at a loss now. If she hadn't left the palace, she would have been doomed anyway, as her pregnancy couldn't be hidden.
Lin Yu said, "Since the merchants have this attitude, this matter probably can't be kept secret for long. It was the Empress who let her leave the palace. Will the Emperor be angry with you?"
Jiang Fenghua didn't know if Xie Shang would be angry with her if he found out, so she pretended to have amnesia and acted unreasonable and domineering.
She said, "I am no longer worried about the Emperor's attitude. I am worried that someone will use this incident to make a fuss. The Emperor has been questioned since he ascended the throne, and rumors are endless. If the royal family is disgraced again because of this incident, I don't know how to explain it."
Marquis Changping and Lady Helan stormed in after seeing off their guests. "Your Majesty," said the Marquis, "I will take Ran'er with me to the palace to plead guilty to the Emperor. The Helan family is willing to bear all the blame."
“You will have to go to the palace. What will you say when you get there?” Jiang Fenghua looked at Helan Yanran and said, “The key is to see your daughter’s attitude.”
If she admits to her affair with Shang Hong and that the Empress released her from the palace, then she, as the mistress of the harem, may be accused of some fabricated crimes.
The concubines in the harem might also think she was being unfair, which really gave Jiang Fenghua a huge headache.
At this moment, Lin Yu's people also came over and said something to Lin Yu.
Lin Yu's face turned deathly pale. She pulled Jiang Fenghua aside and whispered, "Young Master and Sang Yu Pianpian..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Fenghua's face turned pale. After she recovered, she maintained her composure and said to Marquis Changping, "Send someone to keep an eye on your daughter. Don't let her do anything foolish, and don't let her run away alone. I have something to attend to now."
Seeing that she was about to leave, Lady Helan quickly stopped her, "Your Majesty the Empress still needs to accompany us to the palace. Could Your Majesty please put aside any important matters for now? I know it's all my fault, I'm sorry Your Majesty, Your Majesty meant well..."
Jiang Fenghua didn't have time to listen to her rambling and said to Helan Yanran, "I'll give you one night to think it over carefully and decide what to say to the Emperor tomorrow."
After saying that, she and Lin Yu left directly. Hongxiu called out to her, "Your Highness, what should I do?"
"Of course you will come with me. Your mission is to safely deliver Helan Yanran to Madam Helan so that she can see that her daughter is safe and sound."
She was referring to the fact that Lady Helan had repeatedly claimed that the Empress had killed her daughter, that her daughter had died for the Empress, and that she demanded an explanation from the Empress.
Now she is giving her an explanation.
Lady Helan blushed upon hearing this, recalling the scene of the commotion in the Golden Palace, which was indeed unsightly.
Who would have thought that Yanran would do such a thing? She thought her daughter really died for the Empress.
Marquis Changping also sighed, "The Helan family is truly beyond saving this time."
Helan Jue said, "Father, Mother, don't worry. The Empress will definitely not stand idly by in this matter concerning my sister."
Lady Helan said, "The Empress has already left..."
"Your Majesty is actually a kind-hearted person. If it weren't for the Empress's help, my sister would have been punished long ago. Her Majesty will definitely help us with this matter," Helan Jue comforted her.
In fact, Helan Jue knew that Empress Jiang had no choice but to help, because it was she who had let her sister leave the palace, and she was an insider.
Not knowing whether the Emperor would blame the Empress, Helan Jue then analyzed to Helan Yanran: "Ran'er, if you really get to the Emperor, you must insist that you do not admit to having an affair with Shang Hong. Just do as Minister Xiao said, that you were tricked and then discovered that you were pregnant, so the Empress had no choice but to send you out of the palace."
That's all we can say for now. Helan Yanran said, "Will the Emperor believe me? Shang Hong and I used to send messages with kites before. Some of the kites might be in Shang Hong's hands. Will she really take them to the Emperor and say that I seduced her? Brother, what should we do now? I don't want to harm you and our parents."
Helan Jue said, "I'll go to the Shang residence to find him and see what he has to say."
