Chapter 101 Have you just come back, or are you going out?
Yun Zhao is not stupid, Sheng Cui tells him everything.
"What exactly do you want to say?" Yun Zhao said lightly.
Sheng Cui continued, "Miss Yun, seven years at the frontier is so important to a girl. Are you really willing to give it up?"
Yun Zhao smiled.
So that's what it means.
Because Miss Lin was already married, they had no scruples and hoped that she would leave as soon as possible.
Now that Miss Lin had received the divorce papers, they felt that the old threat had come back and wanted her to stay again.
"You think too highly of me," Yun Zhao said. "Xie Jingmo has no romantic interest in me. It's absolutely impossible for me to stop him from liking Miss Lin."
Yun Zhao still has this self-awareness.
"After seven years of friendship on the frontier, it's impossible for Your Highness not to be moved." Sheng Cui refused to give up.
Yun Zhao smiled. "Really? But how could someone like Xie Jingmo give up years of love for a little affection? If it were you, or anyone else, and something they had lost was returned, and she had endured humiliation all these years, how would you feel?"
Sheng Cui's expression froze.
Yun Zhao understood, she understood.
What mood?
I'm afraid I can't wait to get the best things in the world and put them in front of that person.
I'm afraid that this time I will do whatever it takes to lock the person I love by my side forever.
This time, Xie Jingmo is no longer the idle prince he was seven years ago.
He now commands a large army and is a key figure in the imperial court. If he wants a woman, who can stop him?
Yun Zhao understood this principle.
The people in higher-ups also understand, but they are just unwilling to accept it.
Yun Zhao looked at Sheng Cui's troubled face and said, "People don't really want much in their lives, let alone Xie Jingmo, who was born with wealth that others can't even dream of. If he asks for something, don't make it difficult for him, right? After seven years of suffering at the frontier, Xie Jingmo deserves a reward from his mother."
In the palace.
"Did she really say that?"
Sheng Cui leaned over and knelt on the ground. "Yes, with a calm expression, not fighting or competing, very calm, it doesn't seem like she's lying."
Sheng Cui said softly, "The Queen Mother said that it's not worth hurting the relationship between mother and son for a woman. The prince is unruly. If we go against his wishes, he will go far away to the frontier. Life only has a few seven years, and you, the Queen Mother, will really lose a son."
These words sounded rebellious. After Sheng Cui said this, she bent down even lower.
The hall was quiet for a long time.
Then, Sheng Cui heard the Queen Mother sneer, "She is quite clever!"
Sheng Cui didn't dare to speak.
The Queen Mother said, "This makes me want to meet her even more. What kind of woman could Jing Mo bring her back from the frontier and hide her in his mansion?"
Sheng Cui whispered, "Empress Dowager, I saw the original notice posted on the street. The woman in the notice seemed very similar to Yun Zhao, but for some reason, the girl in the notice later changed her appearance. Later, I learned from others that the woman drawn on the notice was the girl the emperor had recently taken a fancy to and wanted to recruit as his personal concubine."
The Queen Mother frowned.
Sheng Cui said, "What's strange is that the person who took charge of this matter before was Lord Li, but later it was replaced by the general."
The Queen Mother was silent for a moment. "You mean, Jing Mo replaced the portrait given by the Emperor, and the person the Emperor has been anxiously looking for in the palace these days is Yun Zhao?"
Sheng Cui whispered, "This is just a maid's guess, I can't be completely sure."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother immediately sent someone to ask the Emperor for the original portrait.
After receiving the portrait, the Queen Mother handed it to Sheng Cui to look at. Sheng Cui recognized it at a glance. The person in the portrait was Yun Zhao!
The emperor has taken a fancy to Yun Zhao!
General's Mansion.
Yun Zhao felt that it was no longer appropriate for him to stay in the general's mansion.
Xie Jingmo didn't know when he would come back, so she found Butler Li and was about to leave.
Sheng Cui is back.
"Miss Yun, can you please excuse me for a moment?"
Yun Zhao walked aside, puzzled. Sheng Cui whispered in Yun Zhao's ear, "The Queen Mother wants to see you."
Yun Zhao looked at Sheng Cui in astonishment.
Sheng Cui added, "Tonight."
When Yun Zhao was carried into the palace, he felt it was just a fairy tale.
When they arrived at the place, Sheng Cui reminded her to kneel down. After Yun Zhao knelt down, Sheng Cui stepped out.
"Are you Yun Zhao? Raise your head and let me see."
Yun Zhao looked up.
The Queen Mother carefully examined Yun Zhao's features and after a moment, she said, "They are indeed 70% similar."
Yun Zhao knelt straight, "I, Yun Zhao, greet the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother didn't say anything, and Yun Zhao just knelt quietly with his head down.
After a long while, the Queen Mother nodded in satisfaction and said, "Stand up and talk."
Yun Zhao stood up swiftly.
The Queen Mother looked at the people standing below and asked, "Are you the girl who followed Jing Mo for seven years at the frontier?"
Yun Zhao was neither humble nor arrogant, and said respectfully, "Yes."
The Queen Mother nodded. "Now that you are following Jing Mo back home, what promises can Jing Mo make to you?"
Yun Zhao shook his head. "I know my own status and don't dare to have any delusions. I have an agreement with the general that I will leave the capital in three months."
The Queen Mother asked, "Why did you leave? And why for three months?"
Yun Zhao then said, "I came to the capital to play, three months is more than enough."
The Queen Mother looked at Yun Zhao's porcelain-white face, but there was a deep feeling between her eyebrows. She was beautiful, but not vulgar.
It's so eye-catching.
No wonder he could follow Jing Mo at the frontier for seven years.
No wonder a portrait could make the emperor obsessed with it.
"Do you know that the emperor is looking for you and hopes you will become her concubine?"
Yun Zhao said calmly, "I am a humble girl, and I dare not dream of entering the royal family. Besides, my past with Xie Jingmo is complicated, so I dare not act rashly in front of His Majesty and pollute his eyes."
The Queen Mother nodded in satisfaction. "I really like your tact. Women in the world are so foolish. Once a man gives them a little kindness, they think they have everything under control, so they act rashly. You are very good."
Yun Zhao knelt on the ground and didn't think that pleasing the empress dowager was a good thing.
So she said, "I am also stupid. If I had something good, I would also act rashly. However, I have never gotten what I wanted, so I have never had the right to act rashly."
I want to tell the Queen Mother this.
If she really gets favor, she will not be an easy person to deal with.
Just like those women out there, she can't escape the vulgarity of competing for favor.
Sure enough, after Yun Zhao said this, the empress dowager frowned.
Yun Zhao still lowered his head, looking respectful, but his back was straight.
"Okay, go back. Don't tell Jing Mo that I looked for you."
Yun Zhao responded, "Yes."
He lowered his head and walked out.
When he was about to leave completely, Yun Zhao raised his head.
Walking through the long corridor, under the night light, the empress dowager sat in the middle with grace and elegance. Her eyes and eyebrows did resemble Xie Jingmo.
She lowered her head and left quietly.
Returning to Yuehetang, she felt that she had to leave immediately.
As a result, I didn’t even have time to pick up my luggage.
Xie Jingmo pushed open her door, squinted his eyes, and looked at her carefully. "Have you just come back, or are you going out?"
