"Yunlan, listen to me..."
Yan Fu tried to step forward, but Qiao Yu kept her head down, with a few strands of hair obscuring her expression.
Seeing that she did not resist his approach, Yan Fu lowered his voice and said viciously: "Drag that bitch away and deal with her."
Yu Yuanting immediately understood what he meant. Before Qiu Ziheng could struggle and scream, he took out a handkerchief to cover her mouth and dismissed everyone.
After everyone had left, the woman who was sitting on the table finally opened her mouth, her voice almost hoarse and muffled, making it difficult to hear:
"Why did it have to be her..."
"That day I was attracted by her..."
Qiao Yu didn't give Yan Fu a chance to explain and interrupted him before he finished speaking:
“That’s enough!”
Once the misunderstanding was explained, it was resolved, and the gap between them was no longer unbreakable. What Qiao Yu wanted was for Yan Fu to feel guilty and blame himself, and to lose his love forever.
She is such a cruel woman.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to explain to me. How dare I influence who you favor?"
She looked so distant again, just like when they first met, she was so considerate, generous and virtuous, but why did his heart hurt so much?
Yan Fu was a little angry at Qiao Yu's lack of trust in their relationship, but when he saw the tears rolling down the girl's raised face, he became at a loss.
At this moment, he didn't know whether he was more depressed or heartbroken:
"Lan'er, stop talking so much. I'll let Yu Yuanting deal with the child. As for Qiu Ziqian, you can do whatever you want with him. Okay..."
With a snap, Qiao Yu shook off the man's hand, her face full of disbelief and anger:
"Is life really so worthless in the eyes of the Emperor? Just like Jing Yi didn't meet the Emperor's expectations, the Emperor wanted him dead, just like he dealt with Concubine Qiu's child?"
Looking at the woman in front of him, who was no longer gentle but looked like an enraged lioness, Yan Fu regretted what he had said just now. Women are weak by nature but strong as mothers.
He knew that Jing Yi was a hurdle in Lan'er's heart, and he chose to poke her wound at this time. But in Lan'er's heart, he was so cruel, wasn't he a human being?
Yan Fu suppressed his displeasure and patiently coaxed her softly:
"You know that's not what I meant, don't you understand, my Xinlan'er?"
"I used to think I understood, but now that Jingyi is dead and Concubine Qiu is pregnant, I no longer dare to be so self-righteous."
The eyes of the woman in front of him were so cold, so cold that Yan Fu felt unfamiliar and scared. Was he such a person who was not worthy of trust in her heart?
Or is it that there is always someone else in her heart? Thinking of this, Yan Fu's eyes couldn't help but turn cold.
Although Qiao Yu didn't have the ability to read minds, she could guess what Yan Fu was thinking during the days she spent with him, and she couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
The love of emperors has always been like this:
"I am not feeling well. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me. I will take my leave."
Yan Fu didn't try to stop her from leaving. A voice in his heart urged him to quickly hold Qiao Yu's hand, but he was also afraid of meeting Qiao Yu's cold gaze, which would pierce him to pieces...
This thought only lasted a few seconds before it could not withstand the weight of Qiao Yu in his heart:
"Lan'er, I won't let you go. I won't let you go!"
The almost heart-wrenching scream only made the woman pause for a moment, and then she walked away without looking back.
The feeling of powerlessness that Yan Fu had felt before he ascended the throne once again overwhelmed him. His fist landed on the table with a bang. The loud noise scared the palace servants waiting outside the room so much that they didn't know whether to go in or stay where they were.
When Zhu Er saw Qiao Yu coming out, she hurried forward to comfort him:
"Your Majesty, please don't listen to Concubine Qiu's nonsense. She must have resorted to despicable tactics to make the Emperor..."
Who knew Qiao Yu was not as heartbroken as the other party wanted, and her face was expressionless, as if the person who was heartbroken just now was not her:
"If this is true, why would he hide it from me?"
"Maybe..."
Zhu'er was a little confused and couldn't figure out whether her master was angry or sad.
Finally, when the little girl was about to die of embarrassment and didn't know how to comfort herself, Qiao Yu said:
"Take a few capable people with you and stop Eunuch Yuan from aborting Concubine Qiu's child before I arrive."
"I understand."
Although Zhu'er didn't understand why Qiao Yu did this, leaving Concubine Qiu's child behind was always a hidden danger, but in Zhu'er's mind, it was right to listen to the young lady.
The remaining few followed Qiao Yu to the Cining Palace. When the head aunt saw Qiao Yu, she came forward to greet her warmly:
"Hasn't your Majesty already paid her respects to the Empress Dowager? Why are you here again now?"
Although the aunt in charge did not have the same weight as Xiufang in front of Empress Dowager Xue, she was still an elder in front of Empress Dowager Xue. Naturally, she spoke to Qiao Yu with less respect and more familiarity.
"I have something to report to the Queen Mother. Does the Queen Mother want to take a nap?"
Normally, Qiao Yu would add, "If she wants to rest, it's okay for her to wait in the side hall for a while," which clearly shows how urgent the matter she came to report this time was.
The aunt in charge immediately became serious:
"Your Majesty, please follow me. The Queen Mother is just about to rest."
Empress Dowager Xue was also a little surprised to hear Qiao Yu coming into the house, and hurriedly let her in. She knew that her niece had always been steady and would not be so reckless unless it was urgent.
After hearing Qiao Yu's request, Empress Dowager Xue was a little surprised that she asked her to keep Concubine Qiu's child.
Queen Mother Xue naturally didn't believe that Qiao Yu was being soft-hearted. No woman in the world could truly bear to see her husband have a child with another woman.
"Do you know that if you keep this child, Concubine Qiu will have a chance to turn things around? Do you know that if you make good use of the emperor's guilt, you will always have a foothold in the palace, and you are like this..."
