Chapter 106 I must marry Lin Ruyu!
Concubine Yi is the emperor's favorite person, and he loves her very much, which is known to the world.
Hearing the shout, the emperor rushed out immediately.
Yun Zhao looked at the figure rushing out and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
But inside the hall, someone didn't move at all.
"Jing Mo, where are you going?" When Yun Zhao was about to leave, he heard the empress dowager say something lightly inside.
Afterwards, the Queen Mother's voice came again, "You haven't answered my question just now, Lin Ruyu, how will you deal with it?"
Yun Zhao didn't even need to look to know that Xie Jingmo's face must be extremely cold.
In Xie Jingmo's mind, she was an undercover agent planted in the army behind the scenes. If she gave up on Lin Ruyu at this time, then from Xie Jingmo's perspective, she would have completely fallen into the Queen Mother's trap.
It became a complete joke.
How could a cold and arrogant person like Xie Jingmo be willing to surrender?
"I said, I must marry Lin Ruyu!" These words were sonorous and powerful, and Yun Zhao nodded after listening.
This is Xie Jingmo, he will never give in at any time.
He won't give in for anyone.
The Queen Mother said simply, "Then you can go."
After these words fell, Yun Zhao heard the sound of footsteps inside, and then, "Yun Zhao, stay."
Xie Jingmo's eyes darkened.
The emperor turned back at this time and asked, "Who on earth dares to lie to me?" The emperor took a few steps forward and then stepped back.
Yun Zhao lowered his head and saw a pair of dragon-patterned boots in front of him.
"Who are you?"
Yun Zhao immediately knelt down and lowered his head even lower. "Your Majesty, my name is Yun Zhao."
The emperor lowered his head and stared at the person in front of him for several times, "Raise your head and let me take a look."
Yun Zhao's hands, pressed against the ground, tightened silently.
"I'm talking to you, don't you hear me?"
Yun Zhao sighed deeply with helplessness, and when he was about to raise his head, he saw...
A call of "Emperor" attracted the emperor's attention.
Yun Zhao thought he was saved, but he never expected that the emperor would walk inside and say to Yun Zhao, "You, come in."
Yun Zhao closed his eyes, lowered his head and followed him into the room.
"Mother, what is this?" The emperor looked at the empress dowager.
The Queen Mother looked at Xie Jingmo, and Xie Jingmo looked at Yun Zhao.
Yun Zhao closed his eyes and felt a headache.
The Queen Mother was high above, her gaze as sharp as a torch, always fixed on Xie Jingmo.
When the emperor asked Yun Zhao to raise his head, Xie Jingmo said, "Your Majesty, this is my——"
"She is my new personal maid."
When these words were spoken, Xie Jingmo and the emperor were stunned.
The Queen Mother smiled slightly, very calm and composed, "Yun Zhao, why don't you go down and pour the Emperor a cup of tea."
Yun Zhao's back was soaked. He replied, "Yes," and immediately retreated.
The emperor tilted his head and looked several times, "I feel like it looks very familiar."
The emperor never received Yun Zhao's tea.
Because he was soon called away by Xie Jingmo on official business.
The Queen Mother looked at Xie Jingmo's leaving back and smiled slightly.
Xie Jingmo came back from the emperor's place and met the empress dowager.
The Queen Mother sat on the high seat, holding a cup of tea in her hand. "It's rare to see Jing Mo willing to come to my place twice in one day. What's going on?"
Xie Jingmo looked around. Yun Zhao was not in the hall. "Where is he?"
The Queen Mother took a sip of tea and asked, "Who?"
Xie Jingmo's face was darker than the bottom of a pot, "Yun Zhao."
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Don't you dislike Yun Zhao? I'll take her in as a maidservant. It will save you the trouble, isn't it?"
Xie Jingmo stood in front of the Grand Palace and looked straight at the Queen Mother.
"Jing Mo, you are my child. I have no other requests for you except that you find a good marriage. You can marry Lin Ruyu, but with her status, she can only be my concubine."
Or rather, in the heart backstage.
With Lin Ruyu's status, being a concubine was already a compliment.
"Guo Qiaoqiao needs to come with you as your princess consort. In addition, Yun Zhao will be your concubine. If you agree, you will take Yun Zhao away today. Otherwise, I will keep her here first."
Xie Jingmo sneered when he heard this.
"Queen Mother, isn't this business of yours a little too profitable?"
"Just relying on Yun Zhao? You want to threaten me?"
The Queen Mother's eyes were indifferent. "If you really don't want to, then forget it. Yun Zhao will stay with me, and you can forget about marrying Lin Ruyu. Jing Mo, I have my bottom line, do you understand?"
Yun Zhao stood at the door and saw Xie Jingmo leave angrily.
Before leaving, the Queen Mother drank her tea leisurely and said softly, "Leave the person with me first. If you have made up your mind, come and take her with you. If you still can't make up your mind, there is still a place for your emperor's concubines. Don't worry, she won't suffer any loss."
Xie Jingmo left without even looking back.
The Queen Mother smiled and said to Yun Zhao, who had been standing at the door for a long time, "Come in."
Yun Zhao walked in and knelt down.
The Queen Mother said, "You are absolutely not allowed to appear while the Emperor is here. The inner court of the Imperial Palace is not accessible to someone of your status. What I need is to use you to check and balance Jing Mo. I believe you can see this clearly. Yun Zhao, if you do well, your family will be rich and prosperous, and I will protect you."
The Queen Mother paused. "If you don't do well, your mother, brother, and brother-in-law will all suffer. I know you are very smart, so I don't need to say more, right?"
Yun Zhao knelt on the ground.
Very helpless.
How could she, a commoner, get involved in this dispute?
"Queen Dowager, you use me as a pawn to check and balance the general. You really think too highly of me. You may not know that when we were at the frontier, the general exchanged me for 5,000 armors. I am no longer his soldier. He may consider the past and make some concessions. But you say that you use me as a bargaining chip to make General Xie give up Lin Ruyu. That is really—"
Yun Zhao's expression was serious and incredible, "I was wrong."
The Queen Mother sat in the upper seat, looking at Yun Zhao with a sincere expression on her face.
It seems like he really believes that in his heart.
She smiled and said, "Really? Then I'd like to give it a try."
"Anyway, you're just a chess piece of mine. If things don't go my way, I'll just kill you."
The Queen Mother smiled as she spoke, her eyes filled with murderous determination.
Yun Zhao sighed.
Okay, okay, okay.
She was a chess piece, an insignificant piece that could be killed at any time.
Yun Zhao knew that it was useless to say more, so she quietly retreated.
After that, Yun Zhao stayed in the palace for a few more days.
The Queen Mother did not restrain her, nor did she need her to serve her.
It seemed that she had calculated correctly that for the sake of her family in Beijing, she would not go far.
Yun Zhao simply relaxed and wandered around the palace.
It is also quite interesting to jump onto the palace wall at night and overlook the entire capital.
When she ran into Xie Jingmo entering the palace, she was about to escape but was grabbed by someone.
Then, there was a cold sneer, "You are so carefree, your face is even growing fat, Yun Zhao! Do you have any sense of crisis at all?"
Yun Zhao stood firm, pulled up his clothes, and then met Xie Jingmo's eyes.
