Chapter 19 The Emperor is a Stingy Man
However, thinking of his father's strictness, he took the words back.
Thinking of Xiao Yu, her tone was inevitably filled with resentment, "The Emperor has never been obsessed with women. Even beauties like Liu Zhiyuan can't hold his gaze. No matter how beautiful I dress, he won't even look at me."
No, if the emperor had not been fascinated by Liu Zhiyuan, how could he have let the Liu family go and asked Liu Zhiyuan to go to Yuzhou to offer sacrifices to the heavens and pray for rain.
Thinking of this, Concubine Chen dug her nails into her palms.
"Father, is it true that Liu Zhiyuan went to Yuzhou to offer sacrifices to the heavens and pray for rain?"
"It's true. The emperor has issued an order to go there the day after tomorrow."
Concubine Chen's face was grim. "How could this happen? Is the Emperor crazy? Since ancient times, only emperors could offer sacrifices to heaven and pray for rain, and he actually let a woman like Liu Zhiyuan go! Can Liu Zhiyuan represent the Emperor?"
Thinking of something, Concubine Chen's expression suddenly changed, "Father, do you think the Emperor intends to make Liu Zhiyuan the Empress?"
Although she holds the same position as the vice queen, she is only the vice queen. Once Liu Zhiyuan becomes the queen, there will be no place for her in the harem!
"Your Highness, please be careful with your words. There may be eavesdroppers on the other side of the wall." Prime Minister Chen said in a cold tone.
How could Concubine Chen not listen? When she thought that the queen she had dreamed of becoming might very well become Liu Zhiyuan, she wished she could grind Liu Zhiyuan into ashes!
"Father, I've long told you that Liu Zhiyuan's face is a disaster. Her entry into the palace would be very detrimental to my daughter. You insisted on forcing her into the palace, saying that you could control the Liu family. Now, the Liu family hasn't surrendered, and Liu Zhiyuan has also received the emperor's favor. Father, have you ever regretted your decision back then?"
"How dare you!" Prime Minister Chen shouted angrily, "This is how you treat your father!"
Concubine Chen suppressed the resentment in her heart. As the legitimate daughter of a large family, she was very clear that she and her family would prosper and suffer together. No matter how dissatisfied she was with her father's original decision, she could not show it. After all, she still had to rely on her family for support.
"Father, what should we do now? We and the Liu family have long been at loggerheads. If Liu Zhiyuan becomes empress, not only will my daughter no longer have a place in the harem, but even the Chen family will be in trouble."
Prime Minister Chen snorted coldly, "Women's opinions."
Concubine Chen choked but didn't dare to say anything.
"That's what my father taught me."
"This time Liu Zhiyuan is going to Yuzhou to pray for rain, and the emperor will go with him. Your eldest brother is stationed in the northwest, which is very close to Yuzhou. Since the emperor has gone, he shouldn't come back."
A murderous look flashed across Prime Minister Chen's eyes.
The Chen family has always been a thorn in the emperor's side. Over the years, the Chen family has been disintegrated and killed. If this continues, I am afraid that no one will be left.
Since we are already incompatible, we might as well give it a try!
Concubine Chen's heart skipped a beat.
Is this an attempt to regicide?
Thinking of Xiao Yu, her heart ached.
However, she also understood that based on what the Chen family had done to the late emperor, it was destined that either the Chen family would die or Xiao Yu would die.
She closed her eyes and hardened her heart, "Father, are you sure?"
"Your eldest brother arranged it personally, so it's absolutely foolproof."
Concubine Chen's eyes were icy, "Father, please tell my eldest brother that I will make sure Liu Zhiyuan can never return to the capital!"
On the day of departure, Liu Zhiyuan was taken to the outside of the palace gate, where a luxurious carriage was parked.
There are hundreds of guards following behind to protect him.
Not only that, Liu Dehai also stood in front of the carriage and came out to see him off in person.
Liu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows. It was so grand. I was flattered.
Although Liu Dehai was only a eunuch in charge and had no official position, he was the emperor's personal eunuch and someone who could speak in front of the emperor.
Basically, when Liu Dehai comes forward, it is equivalent to the emperor coming forward.
Seeing Liu Zhiyuan, Liu Dehai quickly asked someone to bring a stool and place it next to the carriage.
"Your Majesty, please."
Liu Zhiyuan couldn't help but look at Liu Dehai again. The person who could serve in front of the emperor was indeed extraordinary. Look at the look in his eyes.
Last time I knew she didn’t like stepping on people’s backs, so this time I changed it to a small stool.
"Thank you, eunuch."
Liu Zhiyuan climbed onto the horse, put his head in, and then quickly pulled out.
It was an illusion, it must be an illusion, otherwise how could she see Xiao Yu in the carriage.
Another head came in. Great, it was really Xiao Yu.
"Why are you here?" Liu Zhiyuan said with a cold face.
Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes dangerously; he read disdain in Liu Zhiyuan's eyes.
Very good, you, a witch, have caused me so much trouble, and I haven't even lost my temper yet, but you are already disgusted with me!
"This is my carriage. Why do you think I'm here?"
"And where is my carriage?"
"No."
Liu Zhiyuan's eyes widened. "Then how am I going to get there?"
Xiao Yu looked at her as if she were mentally retarded, "You can walk there."
Liu Zhiyuan was shocked, this guy is crazy!
Do you know how far Yuzhou is? Walking there, do you want to ruin my legs?
Xiao Yu was just talking about it at first, but then he thought that Liu Zhiyuan was a demon girl, and maybe she had the ability to fly in the sky and into the earth.
So he looked at Liu Zhiyuan with great interest.
That look made Liu Zhiyuan feel uneasy.
She quickly said, "Yuzhou is so far away. By the time I get there, the disaster will be even worse."
"Then buy yourself a carriage and go over. This carriage was bought by me. You, get out now."
So stingy!
The palace is so big, but there is not even a carriage? I have never seen concubines buying their own carriages when traveling!
"I don't have any money."
"If you don't have money, just walk there yourself." Xiao Yu didn't care.
Liu Zhiyuan pursed her lips and said nothing.
She didn't believe the nonsense that a concubine had to buy her own carriage. She must have offended the tyrant in some way and was taking it out on her.
Thinking back on what happened, I felt that it was my fault for asking "Why are you here?" that hurt Xiao Yu's fragile heart.
So she calmly turned back time.
Everything went dark before his eyes. Liu Zhiyuan stood beside the carriage and stepped onto a small stool.
Seeing Xiao Yu, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Your Majesty, oh my god, I actually saw Your Majesty in the carriage, I am so happy!"
Xiao Yu, "..."
With your acting skills, giving you a point is a compliment.
He smiled faintly, "Is that so? My beloved concubine is very happy to see me?"
"Of course. The Emperor is wise and brave, and he works hard to govern the country. I have always admired him. Seeing him is like seeing my own father. How can I not be happy?"
Xiao Yu, "..."
My dear, you know that you refer to yourself as "I" again. Please be more careful when acting next time.
"You're done having fun, you can go down now."
"Ah?" Liu Zhiyuan's smile froze on his face.
"Down?"
"Of course, this is my carriage. If you want to ride in it, you have to buy it yourself."
Liu Zhiyuan gritted his teeth. When the emperor is as stingy as you, it is really unique in the world!
Liu Zhiyuan reflected on himself and felt that he might have flattered too much and offended this psychopath again.
So she shifted into reverse again.
After getting on the carriage this time, she said nothing, pretended not to see Xiao Yu, and found a seat to sit down in the carriage.
