Chapter 892 Winner
Yao Jieyu looked at the imperial concubine with a nervous mood and asked cautiously.
"Can I really leave the palace?"
Xiao Xixi nodded: "Okay."
Yao Jieyu's eyes widened slightly, as if she was greatly encouraged.
She took a deep breath and spoke in a trembling voice.
"I want to leave the palace, but I have to tell my parents first."
Xiao Xixi agreed.
Seeing that the imperial concubine was so easy to talk to, Yao Jieyu was very grateful and kept saying thank you.
Concubine Li smiled and said, "If Concubine Yao can also leave the palace, we can often go shopping and dining together in the future."
Thinking of those relaxed and comfortable days, Yao Jieyu couldn't help but laugh too.
She nodded vigorously: "Yes!"
Concubine Yao and Concubine Li returned to Jinxiu Palace.
That afternoon, Concubine Li packed up her things and left the palace. This time she only took Su Mei with her.
Before leaving, Concubine Li went to the imperial study and said goodbye to the emperor.
This was her first time entering the imperial study, but she didn't feel nervous at all and was unusually calm.
"I pay my respects to His Majesty."
She bowed respectfully to the emperor.
If nothing unexpected happens, this will be the last time in her life that she pays respect to the emperor as a concubine.
Luo Qinghan still had that cold and indifferent look, and there was no warmth in his dark eyes.
He asked calmly, "Are all your things packed?"
Princess Li: "It's all packed."
She looked at the young emperor sitting upright behind the desk, and suddenly felt a lot of emotion in her heart.
She once had great admiration for him and pinned her entire life's happiness on him.
But he never gave her any reply.
It would be a lie to say that I don't feel any resentment at all.
But she had seen through it all. The emperor didn't care about her in his heart or eyes. No matter how unwilling she was, it was insignificant to him and he didn't care at all.
If that’s the case, why should she be sad for someone who doesn’t care about her?
Concubine Li: "I am leaving soon. I have been grateful for your care for so many years. Although I have not been favored in the past few years, at least you have not treated me badly in other aspects. You are willing to give me a chance to start over. I am really grateful."
Luo Qinghan: "If you want to thank someone, you should thank the Imperial Concubine. She was the one who wanted to send you away. I just followed her wishes."
Princess Li pursed her red lips, but couldn't help but ask the doubts in her heart.
"There is something I don't understand. I didn't dare to ask before, but now I am leaving soon and may not have the chance to see you again. I dare to ask, who is the woman you love most in your life? Is it Concubine Xiao? Or the Imperial Concubine?"
Luo Qinghan did not answer but asked: "What do you think?"
Concubine Li: "I originally thought that you loved Concubine Xiao the most, and the reason you favored the Imperial Concubine was that you only treated her as a substitute. But judging from your attitude towards the Imperial Concubine, that is definitely not the right attitude to treat a substitute."
Luo Qinghan: "You already have the answer in your heart."
Concubine Li was slightly startled, then she chuckled.
"As expected."
It turns out that the most unlikely answer is exactly the truth.
After Princess Li finished laughing, she sighed softly, as if she was sighing away the last bit of obsession in her heart.
She felt extremely relaxed.
"I have one more favor to ask of you."
Luo Qinghan: "You say."
Concubine Li: "I want to see Concubine Lao again before I leave."
Luo Qinghan looked at her in surprise.
But he didn't ask the reason, just replied calmly: "Go."
Princess Li bowed deeply to him again.
As she stood up, she couldn't help but say something to the emperor.
"The Concubine is a good person. I hope you won't let her down."
Luo Qinghan responded softly: "Yeah."
Concubine Li left the imperial study and nodded slightly to Eunuch Chang who was guarding the door.
Eunuch Chang bowed to her and said, "I wish you a safe journey."
Princess Li walked down the stairs step by step.
She rode in a chariot to the Misty Rain Palace.
The Misty Rain Palace had been closed for nearly half a year, and Concubine Tuber was trapped inside. Apart from Imperial Physician Fang and two maids, she had never seen anyone else.
Outsiders only knew that she was sick, but they didn't know what disease she had, nor did they know whether she could recover.
The guards at the gate received an order from the emperor. They opened the door of the Misty Rain Palace and respectfully invited Concubine Li in.
After entering the Misty Rain Palace, Concubine Li found that it was far more desolate than she had expected.
If someone who doesn't know the truth enters here, they might think they have been sent to the cold palace.
Under the guidance of the nanny, Concubine Li met the bedridden Concubine with tuberculosis.
The tuberculosis concubine was lying on the bed, her face was sallow, her lips were pale, and her long hair was scattered behind her. It was obvious that she was very ill.
Maybe it's because she has been locked up for too long that she is now a little neurotic.
When she saw Concubine Li coming, she was stunned at first, then she struggled to sit up and screamed.
"What are you doing here? Are you here to harm me? Aunt Zhang! Aunt Wang! Come and protect me quickly! Someone wants to harm me!"
Nanny Zhang, who was standing nearby, felt very embarrassed.
She hurried to comfort the tuberculosis concubine.
"Calm down, this is Concubine Li, she is here to visit you."
Concubine Lao: "No, she is here to harm me! Go and inform the emperor and ask him to send someone to protect me!"
Nanny Zhang: "Concubine Li came to visit you only after getting the emperor's permission."
The concubine was stunned.
She hugged her head and murmured, "The Emperor knew that Concubine Li and I had a grudge. Why would he let Concubine Li come to me? Does the Emperor want me to die too? No, no, the Emperor wouldn't be so heartless. He definitely wouldn't be willing to do that to me."
Concubine Li frowned and looked at her: "You have been ill for a long time, and your brain is confused, right?"
The concubine raised her head suddenly, stared at her straight in the eyes, and asked.
"You got the emperor's permission to come to see me, so you must have seen the emperor. What did the emperor say to you? Did he ask you to pick me up?"
Concubine Li: "The Emperor never mentioned it. I took the initiative to come and see you."
The concubine Lao didn't hear the answer she wanted and glared at her in dissatisfaction.
Seeing this, Concubine Li was not sure whether Concubine Lao's mind was still normal, but since she was already here, she might as well say whatever she wanted to say.
"I'm leaving soon and I won't be coming back.
I came to see you again before leaving, just because I wanted to chat with you for a few last minutes.
We entered the palace together and were chosen together to be the prince's concubines.
At that time, there were only two of us concubines in the Eastern Palace.
I have always regarded you as a thorn in my side, and you have always regarded me as a thorn in your side.
Our relationship was like fire and water. To put it bluntly, I really wanted you to die at that time.
Later, more and more people came to the Eastern Palace, but the prince only favored Concubine Xiao.
There is no room for others in his eyes.
I gradually began to understand that even if you and I fought to the point of bloodshed, we would not be the final winners. "
This seemed to irritate Concubine Lao. She glared at Concubine Li fiercely and said angrily, "Shut up!"
…
Good morning everyone!
Please give me a monthly ticket, love~
