I'm afraid the days will be even more difficult in the future.
Lin An's mind was full of thoughts, but the Emperor who was walking in front of him stopped.
"Who else do you think there is?"
As soon as His Majesty stopped, Lin An also stopped.
What does His Majesty mean by this?
"Besides Meng Siyao, who is the other one?"
After hearing this, Lin An finally understood. He quickly raised his hand and pointed behind him.
"Your Majesty, the other person is none other than Lady Zhou!"
********
It was pitch black outside, and there was not even a breath of wind on that midsummer night.
Inside the Palace of Heavenly Purity, candles were lit brightly.
Zhou Shuyun was kneeling on the ground. Perhaps because she had been kneeling for too long, her knees could not stop shaking.
But when she thought that the person in front of her was the Emperor, Zhou Shuyun couldn't help but raise her head, looking towards the front from time to time.
Her eyes fell on His Majesty, with both joy and resentment in them.
She finally met His Majesty.
Think about how much she has suffered over such a long time.
If she hadn't been determined to see His Majesty, how could she have persisted?
When Meng Siyao thought of this, she felt endlessly aggrieved.
There were tears in her eyes, if she hadn't known that the Emperor in front of her didn't recognize her.
I must throw myself into His Majesty's arms and let him comfort me.
Zhou Shuyun knelt on the ground, her emotions surging.
However, sitting on the dragon throne opposite her, Xiao Yu took in all the looks on her face.
Xiao Yu's fingertips stroked the armrest, but his eyes were looking down.
"Meng Siyao said that you arranged for her to block my dragon chariot at the intersection?"
His Majesty's voice is deep and flowing like a spring.
Zhou Shuyun, kneeling on the ground, could only feel her heart beating up and down with the voice of His Majesty.
She was stunned for a long time after hearing the sound, and then she came to her senses: "Yes...it's my concubine..."
She had already admitted it in the Wanshou Palace just now, so it was useless to argue in front of the Emperor.
Zhou Shuyun nodded decisively.
However, the Emperor sitting on the dragon throne did not expect her to admit it so easily.
After a long silence, he continued to ask: "Why do you want to help her?"
He visited Meng Siyao and inquired about his whereabouts.㱗On his way here he deliberately stopped the dragon sedan chair.
Zhou Shuyun did a great job in these matters.
But why did she do it?
The Queen Mother sought out Meng Siyao only because she saw that she looked like Chen Fu. In order to stabilize the Rong family's position, she wanted Meng Siyao to share Chen Fu's favor.
Xiao Yu knew all of this.
But what is Zhou Shuyun thinking?
She was a concubine who had fallen out of favor. If she had not appeared this time, I would have almost forgotten that there was such a person as her in the harem.
But she just appeared so mysteriously. And do such a ridiculous thing?
Having a woman who looks so similar to Shen Fu in front of him is like being certain that he will definitely dote on Meng Siyao!
Where did Zhou Shuyun, a concubine who was not favored by the emperor, get her confidence from? Without any foundation at all, why would she choose Meng Siyao who has no foundation at all?
I don’t know if he was overthinking it.
He always felt that this matter must not be that simple. At the very least, the person in front of him must be hiding something.
Xiao Yu's eyes were dark, and his fingertips tightened involuntarily: "I want to know why you do this."
After he finished speaking, he looked down deeply.
As His Majesty finished speaking, Zhou Shuyun's body trembled subconsciously.
She hadn't heard the Emperor speak to her like this in a long time.
To the point that I still fantasize in my mind that I was favored in my previous life.
Now that he spoke to her like this, Zhou Shuyun felt aggrieved.
But she had to raise her hand: "I just saw that Meng Siyao is very similar to Concubine Shen Guipin, and I want her to replace Concubine Shen Guipin."
Zhou Shuyun knelt on the ground and kowtowed, not daring to raise her head to look in the direction of His Majesty.
But the way she looked, it was obvious that she was lying.
Xiao Yu's eyes became even colder, without any patience on his face: "I'll give you one more chance."
The emperor's fingers stroked the jade ring on his thumb, his eyes speaking calmly.
"Even if you don't tell me, I can still ask Meng. If I knew you were hiding something, you should know what I would do."
The emperor used both kindness and force. How could Zhou Shuyun, a mere concubine, resist?
She raised her head and looked at His Majesty.
To be honest, she really didn't expect why all the plans designed by her failed.
In the previous life, His Majesty clearly took good care of Meng Siyao.
Meng Siyao had just entered the palace when His Majesty promoted her to the position of noble concubine.
Not long after, she was promoted to concubine.
She saw all these affections, and it was clear that His Majesty had a special liking for Meng Siyao.
How come everything has changed in this life?
Zhou Shuyun couldn't figure it out, but when she thought about the fact that it was the fake Shen Fu who had these favors that she could never imagine in this life.
She felt a sense of injustice.
"Your Majesty, have you ever thought that the woman you favor right now is not the one you are looking for?"
If His Majesty asks Meng Siyao, he himself will not be able to escape being questioned.
Rather than letting Meng Siyao reveal these words, it would be better for me to be honest with His Majesty.
Even if there was only a glimmer of hope, she wanted to let His Majesty know that Shen Fu was definitely not the person he was looking for.
"What did you say?"
Xiao Yu obviously didn't understand what Zhou Shuyun said: "What do you mean by the person I'm looking for?"
The favored woman refers to Shen Fu.
But where did he find the person he was looking for?
Xiao Yu was confused in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
"Are you trying to say that the woman I'm looking for is you?"
When Zhou Shuyun heard His Majesty's words, her heart couldn't help but beat a little.
Doesn’t she want to?
In her previous life, she saw everything that happened when His Majesty doted on Meng Siyao.
When you count them up, which one of them doesn’t make people jealous?
If I were the person His Majesty was looking for, all these favors would be mine.
How could she not want to?
"I want to too, but...not me..." Meng Siyao bit her lip and shook her head with difficulty.
"The person your majesty is looking for is Meng Siyao!"
"What did you say?"
Zhou Shuyun didn't care and just said, "It's Meng Siyao."
"Concubine Shen relied on her resemblance to Miss Meng to deceive His Majesty."
"But Your Majesty, the person you are looking for is not Concubine Shen. The person you want to favor is definitely not Concubine Shen!"
"She replaced Miss Meng and took away her favor. Please, Your Majesty, investigate this thoroughly!"
