Chapter 239 Meeting Han Yun
The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor coldly. At first, she thought that no matter what the Emperor said, she would not fall into his trap.
But the emperor told about the spies from the State of Chu.
The Queen Mother was no fool, she quickly figured it out.
Wang Decai was a spy from the State of Chu, and it was he who instigated him and Prince Ruyang to attack the emperor time and time again...
How to say it.
The Queen Mother felt her heart was numb.
She had some feelings for Wang Decai. After all, he had been with her for more than ten years. When she was isolated and helpless in the palace, it was Wang Decai who helped her...
But……
But are they all exploited?
Could it be that Wang Decai has no true feelings for me at all?
The Queen Mother was feeling upset. The series of accidents that had happened in recent days had brought her to the brink of collapse.
now……
The Queen Mother was silent for a long time before she looked at the Emperor: "What do you want to do?"
The emperor smiled and said, "Queen Dowager, calm down. I don't want to do anything. After all, you are still my legal mother in name only, and Prince Ruyang is my brother. I have promised my father that I will never kill any of my brothers."
The Empress Dowager had never realized that the Emperor could be so hypocritical.
She snorted coldly.
The emperor continued, "So, I hope you can help me a little. Of course, I can give you something in return, for example, let you meet with Prince Ruyang once a month?"
The Queen Mother was angry at first, but she soon calmed down.
She hasn't seen King Ruyang for a long time.
I wonder how he is doing?
How is your life...
When the empress dowager thought of her only son, she felt that all the intrigues and conspiracies were not as important as her son.
"What's the matter?"
The Queen Mother looked up and asked.
The emperor took a few steps closer and whispered something in her ear.
After a long time, the Queen Mother finally let out a breath.
She feels so tired.
I feel sad again.
Why didn't she see it clearly earlier?
The emperor is indeed more resourceful than Prince Ruyang.
But thinking about it again, it seems that Prince Ruyang has never been able to compete with the emperor since he was a child.
It can't be compared anywhere else.
Prince Ruyang had told her this many, many times.
But she didn't care. She was bewitched, and her anger and jealousy clouded her mind. She stubbornly wanted to prove that her son was better than Concubine Chun's son.
But what if I win?
Concubine Chun is dead, and the late emperor is also dead. Even if she wins, what’s the point?
It's all her fault.
It was she who made Prince Ruyang what he is today.
It's all her.
It was her failure to judge people and overestimate her own abilities that harmed her own son.
"Okay." The Queen Mother closed her eyes and said, "But you have to keep your promise to me."
The emperor walked out of the Cining Palace.
So I went to Shu Taifei's next door.
It is euphemistically called Thank You Shu Taifei's Soup.
An Jiu met Han Yun for the first time here.
She had seen many eunuchs in the palace, of all kinds, but Han Yun surprised An Jiu.
Although he was wearing eunuch's clothes, his words and actions were not like those of a eunuch at all. Instead, he looked like a handsome young man from some noble family.
Moreover, An Jiu guessed that he should be almost forty years old, but his face looked to be in his early thirties at most. His skin was very white, his eyes were very standard almond-shaped eyes, his lips were slightly thin, and he was very handsome.
An Jiu couldn't help but look at it several times.
Han Yun noticed it. He looked towards An Jiu with no expression on his face and no sadness or joy in his eyes. He seemed to care about nothing. But when his gaze fell on the emperor, it lingered for a moment, but he soon lowered his head.
An Jiu took another look and couldn't help but sigh.
Really handsome.
In later generations, she would also be a favorite among uncles.
No wonder Aunt Qu said that Han Yun was often bullied in the past.
Growing up like this and being in this cannibalistic harem might not be a good thing for him.
"Eunuch Han is here too."
The emperor glanced at Han Yun.
Han Yun responded.
Concubine Shu smiled and asked, "Why is the emperor here?"
Then he asked someone to serve tea.
Han Yun lowered his head and followed Concubine Shu silently.
The emperor brought the silk sent by the Imperial Household Department to Concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu stroked the material and sighed, "The emperor is thoughtful. I like it very much."
After a few words of casual conversation, the emperor left.
Concubine Shu looked at the material on the table, turned to the nanny beside her and said, "Go and find out why the emperor came at this time."
Mammy came back not long after she left.
"My Lady Consort, your Majesty went to the Queen Mother before coming here."
"Empress Dowager..." Concubine Shu turned to look at Han Yun: "Did you see that the emperor thought of his old friend?"
Han Yun looked at her: "What do you want to say?"
Concubine Shu exhaled, her smile still so kind and gentle: "Whenever I see the emperor, I will think of the deceased Concubine Chun."
Han Yun said, "He is already dead, what is the point of saying this?"
Concubine Shu smiled softly as she touched the smooth silk: "Yes, the beauty is dead, but the living have to continue to do what they are supposed to do. What do you think, Han Yun?"
Han Yun: "I know, you don't need to remind me."
…
On the way back, An Jiu kept thinking about Han Yun, and heard the emperor ask: "Han Yun is good-looking, right?"
An Jiu nodded: "Yes..."
She paused and looked up, and found that the emperor was looking at her with a smile.
[I am no better than a eunuch. 】
[I didn't say anything about you flirting with the guards. ]
[Now I am bewitched by an old eunuch. 】
An Jiu "..."
Where did this come from? When did she start flirting with the guard?
What about the eunuchs?
She was clearly looking at him because she suspected Han Yun.
and……
An Jiu said: "Your Majesty, I still think there is something wrong with Han Yun."
The emperor looked at her, snorted coldly, and left.
An Jiu "..."
She really thinks there is something wrong with Han Yun, and she is not trying to change the subject.
An Jiu quickly caught up with the emperor.
"Your Majesty, don't you really think so?"
If the emperor didn't think so, then why did he come to Concubine Shu with such fanfare?
An Jiu thought about it carefully. Even if Qiao Dong did all the things that happened later, what about those years ago? At that time, no matter whether it was Qiao Dong, Han Yun, or Liu Chen, they were just small eunuchs in the palaces. Could they have framed Concubine Chun, killed Prince Jing's mother with a borrowed knife, and finally pushed the Queen Mother out?
An Jiu thinks not.
No matter how smart a person is, his abilities are limited. The harem is so big, and even if the late emperor was a fool, it is impossible for him to be fooled by a few servants.
But he didn't find out anything in the end, which means there is a very powerful person behind these eunuchs and palace maids.
This person is the real culprit behind the scenes.
Now, the only people left of the older generation are the Queen Mother, Concubine Shu, Concubine Yu who practices in Baohua Mountain, and Prince Ming’s mother.
The Queen Mother was a scapegoat. The Queen Mother of Prince Ming followed her son to live in the fiefdom. She was out of reach. It couldn't be her. As for Concubine Yu, she was practicing. Maybe she wanted to avoid the world and put aside her relationship...
Then, the last person left, no matter how unlikely it is, could be the person behind the scenes.
Concubine Shu.
When did the emperor suspect her?
It must have been impossible before, because Concubine Shu went to the imperial mausoleum, apparently to avoid the world just like Concubine Yu and Prince Ming's mother. At that time, the Queen Mother was in the front, and no one would suspect Concubine Shu. But now the Queen Mother and Prince Ruyang have fallen, so... Concubine Shu can no longer sit still and has to return to the palace.
The reasons they found are so far-fetched.
What's the point of missing the late emperor? The late emperor and her didn't have any deep feelings at all.
Perhaps, the emperor had suspected her from the moment she entered the palace.
After figuring this out, An Jiu couldn't help but look up. The emperor's round head seemed to emit a wise and intelligent light in the afterglow of the setting sun...
