Chapter 893: A Turn of Events
Princess Li looked at her helpless and furious expression and smiled softly.
"Is it so difficult for you to admit your failure?"
The concubine clutched the thin blanket tightly and loudly retorted: "I didn't fail! You are the one who failed!"
Concubine Li asked back, "Since you have not failed, why are you trapped here? Why can't you even see the emperor?"
The consumptive concubine was choked severely.
Her expression became extremely embarrassed, but the resentment in her eyes became even stronger.
If it were in the past, Concubine Li would definitely have ridiculed Concubine Lao's attitude.
But at this time, Concubine Li was in an extremely calm mood.
She said slowly.
"I have fought with you for so many years, and I have some understanding of your thoughts.
You not only want to get the emperor's body, but also want to get the emperor's heart.
But the emperor's heart has already been given to someone else, and your obsession is just an obsession.
If I were you, I would let it go sooner.
It is not too late to turn back now, and stop being stubborn. "
The concubine laughed in anger: "What do you know?
Unlike you, I like the emperor as a person.
I love him and I can do anything for him!
What kind of wishful thinking are you talking about? You are the ones who are wishful thinking!
Superficial women like you are not worthy of the Emperor!"
It was unknown what Princess Li was thinking about, and her expression became a little strange.
She asked in a serious tone.
"Do you really love the Emperor?"
Without hesitation, Concubine Lao answered loudly, "Of course! I am the only one in the entire palace who truly loves him. I have loved him since before I entered the palace. He is just being deceived by another woman now. He will definitely wake up in the future. I am the one who loves him the most in the world!"
Princess Li: "Since you love him so much, have you ever done something for him without asking for anything in return? Even just one thing, have you?"
The concubine was choked again.
Concubine Li looked at her with a smile.
That smile hurt Concubine Lao, she clutched the thin quilt tightly, her nails almost tearing it apart.
After a while, she spoke with a trembling voice.
"For him, I volunteered to enter the palace to be his concubine, despite my family's objections."
"For him?" Li Fei said with a sigh, "Does he need you to do this?"
The concubine was unable to answer and her expression became increasingly ugly.
Concubine Li: "Whether you enter the palace or not, it will not affect the emperor. In other words, the emperor doesn't care whether you are in the palace or outside the palace. The reason you insist on entering the palace is just to get close to the emperor and get him. In the final analysis, you are the same as us. You all came to the palace with a purpose. We came to get a better life, and you came to get him."
The concubine retorted at the top of her lungs: "I didn't! You're talking nonsense!"
Concubine Li sneered, "You keep saying you love him, but you never really thought about him from beginning to end. Your so-called love only moved yourself in the end. You should really ask yourself, who do you love, the emperor or yourself?"
The concubine was so irritated that she lost her mind and pounced on her as if to grab her.
Concubine Li stepped back to avoid it.
Nanny Zhang rushed forward, grabbed Concubine Tuberculosis, and pushed her onto the bed, while shouting "Nanny Wang".
Soon, Nanny Wang arrived.
It took a lot of effort for the two men to pin the almost crazy concubine down on the bed.
Seeing this, Concubine Li knew that no matter what she said, the unconscious Concubine Tuberculosis would not listen.
But she still said the last words to Concubine Lao.
"It's not too late to turn back now."
After saying that, Concubine Li turned and walked out.
Behind me came the sharp curse of Concubine Lao.
Princess Li strode forward without looking back.
It was not until she walked out of the Misty Rain Palace that she completely shook off the scolding from Concubine Tuberculosis.
The door of Yanyu Palace slowly closed behind her.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Concubine Li closed her eyes.
The feud between her and Concubine Lao was ended with the sound of the door closing.
From now on, she will never have any contact with Concubine Lao again.
From then on, their lives went in two completely different directions.
With the help of Su Mei, Concubine Li sat in the carriage, and the carriage moved slowly along the palace road.
Yao Jieyushi and Baoqin were standing near the palace gate. When they saw Concubine Li's carriage approaching, they immediately stepped forward to pay their respects.
Princess Li pushed open the car door, looked at the two people standing beside the car, and asked.
"Why are you here?"
Yao Jieyu said, "We came here specially to see you off. This is the cake I made myself. You can eat it on the way."
She handed over a tightly wrapped snack box.
Su Mei immediately took it with both hands.
Li Fei: "I hope you can come out soon."
Yao Jieyu understood what she meant and nodded: "I have sent someone to send a letter home, and I should receive a reply soon."
Baoqin handed over a fruit basket.
"This is the fruit that we grow in Yunxiu Palace. The Imperial Concubine specially asked me to bring it to you. I hope that the Imperial Concubine Li will not dislike it."
She handed the fruit basket to Sumei, and then took out a box wrapped in blue cloth. It was impossible to tell what was inside from the outside, but it looked like it must be very heavy.
Baoqin said, "This is what the Imperial Concubine asked me to bring to you. If you are bored in Ziyun Temple, you can use these things to kill time."
Concubine Li was quite touched. She didn't expect the imperial concubine to be so thoughtful.
"Tell the Imperial Concubine my thanks. I hope I'll have the chance to play cards with her again in the future."
Baoqin smiled and replied, "I will definitely convey your message to you."
Sumei took the blue cloth box from her and found that it was heavier than she expected.
She carefully moved all these things into the car.
Yao Jieyu and Baoqin retreated to the side of the road and made way.
"I wish Queen Li a safe journey!"
Princess Li closed the door and the carriage continued to move forward.
The guards in charge of guarding the palace gate stopped the carriage, gave it a rough inspection, and after making sure that there was no problem, they opened the door and let it pass.
The carriage swayed as it drove out of the palace gate.
Princess Li lifted the car window curtain and looked back.
She saw the tall palace gate, the towering palace walls, and the clear blue sky.
When she entered the palace, she was only sixteen years old. At that time, she was full of expectations for the future and confidence in herself.
She thought that with her appearance and talent, she would be able to impress the prince and become a strong contender for the position of crown princess.
However, the reality is quite the opposite.
She lived in the palace for five years, and her status changed from the prince's concubine to Concubine Li.
But she never received any favor from the emperor.
Caiyun, who had followed her into the palace, also betrayed her.
Five years of youth did not bring her what she wanted, but instead made her lose a lot.
She thought this was how her life would end.
Unexpectedly, her life took a turn for the better.
When she thought about the bright future waiting for her, Concubine Li felt refreshed.
She looked away and smiled easily.
"The future will definitely be better."
