Chapter 165 The Emperor's Question

Yao Yulu was shocked that Li Qingxiao was here. Could it be for him and Li Qingyu? Her heart suddenly became confused.

"Little Lord, steady mind is the most important thing." Lv Panxiao persuaded him.

Yao Yulu nodded. Since she knew whether it was a blessing or not, she should not be nervous. She was afraid that it would be a small matter to lose her favor. If she was accused of seducing the Eighth Prince, she would not be worth the loss.

She took a deep breath and walked in. Ning'er and Wuer waited in the inner hall. Seeing Yao Yulu coming, she directly withdrew from the inner hall.

"The emperor is auspicious." Yao Yulu lowered her head and said.

"Yulu doesn't need to be polite. Now you and I are bound by what else." Li Qingxiao put down the book and said that the book was exactly what Yao Yulu usually read boringly.

"Why did the emperor come so late?" Yao Yulu poured a cup of tea and handed it to Li Qingxiao.

"Yulu, I'll ask you, the first time we met was at General Yao's mansion. At that time, I still remember that the eighth brother wanted Yulu, right?" Li Qingxiao seemed to smile on his face, but with a little coldness.

Yao Yulu's eyebrows were tightly together, and she didn't expect that he would ask this question. "Your Majesty, don't tease Yulu. At that time, it was just a joke."

"Hmm." Li Qingxiao answered faintly, took out Yao Yulu's handkerchief from his arms, and then looked deeply at Yao Yulu, who was like sitting on a needle blanket.

"It's just that I don't know something. Yulu clearly holds a veil in her hand. Why did the eighth brother say that this veil is also Yulu's?" Li Qingxiao asked faintly.

Yao Yulu's hand holding a handkerchief shook and her face was pale. She finally saw through it. Li Qingxiao came to her to plead guilty. I'm afraid he had noticed it at that time and didn't say it.

"The emperor doesn't trust his concubine?" Yao Yulu asked straight at Li Qingxiao, but her palm had already been full of sweat. She was gambling on the emperor's heart for her. Otherwise, the emperor could expose them at that time, but he did not expose them, that is to say, he was uncertain or something.

"How can I not trust you? It's late at night. You should go to bed early." Li Qingxiao stood up and took two steps. He seemed to remember something and turned around.

"Yulu, the eighth brother has decided to guard the border." Li Qingxiao said a little meaningfully and went out directly.

Yao Yulu's eyes were sore and almost burst into tears. No wonder he didn't say anything at that time. It was to let Li Qingyu go to the border. What does it mean to tell her now? Does it make her feel ashamed?

Yao Yulu sat in a chair. After a long time, Lv Panxiao came in and felt something was wrong when she looked at Yao Yulu.

"Little lord, what did the emperor say?" Lv Pangxiao asked with concern.

Yao Yulu nodded in a daze, "The emperor may have known that I have an ambiguous relationship with Li Qingyu."

Lv Panxiao was shocked and opened his mouth to look at Yao Yulu. Obviously, he was also shocked by her words. Since he was noticed by the emperor, Yao Yulu's road would be even more difficult to go.

"It doesn't matter. Let's go one step at a time. I'm tired and have a rest." Yao Yu showed a little tired face. She lay down in ** and tossing in the middle of the night, but she couldn't sleep. Her head was full of pictures of Li Qingyu getting along with her, as well as Li Qingxiao's smiling face just now. Gradually, the two faces coincided together, and suddenly felt that her head was about to crack.

She didn't fall asleep this night, and her shame was getting bigger and bigger. For Li Qingyu, she really didn't know how to repay it. She helped her again and again, but now she ended up guarding the border gate. How could this make her feel at ease?

Yao Yulu sighed slightly, and Wuer, who was combing her hair behind her, couldn't help taking a look at Yao Yulu, but looking at her depressed look, she didn't say anything, but Ninger beside her took the lead.

"Little Lord, what's wrong with you? Such unhappiness?"

"Nothing, I'll go out for a walk later."

After dressing up, Yao Yulu took Wuer and Ninger all the way out of the Xinghui Palace. When she walked to the pavilion in the imperial garden, she happened to see Song Jinzhi also enjoying flowers there.

Originally, Yao Yulu wanted to avoid it, but the two had already walked opposite and could not go back, so Yao Yulu had to come forward.

"I want to see Song Xiaoyi."

"Well, will Yao Guiren also come to enjoy the flowers?" Song Jinzhi asked.

Yao Yulu then looked up, looked at Song Jinzhi's face that seemed to be indifferent to anything, and nodded.

"Is Song Xiaoyi also enjoying flowers?"

"Well, there is a small pavilion over there. Let's go there to rest. Besides, we haven't seen each other for a long time. It's good to talk." Song Jinzhi said amicably.

Yao Yulu nodded and followed Song Jinzhi into the pavilion. The two sat on the stone bench and both stared at the goldfish in the small lake.

Song Jinzhi handed Yao Yulu a bag of fish food with a smile. He also held a bag in his hand and slowly sprinkled it into the small lake. Yao Yulu did not move, but looked at the fish in the small lake and did not say anything.

"How comfortable these fish are." Yao Yulu said with emotion.

Unexpectedly, a melancholy look appeared on Song Jinzhi's face. She couldn't help sighing, "It seems to be free, but she is imprisoned in this small lake. How can she be truly free? Like this palace, how many women want to sharpen their heads and drill into it, but what a good place is this? It's just that the world has different views. They think this is a place where power and money coexist, but Jinzhi thinks that this is also the dirtiest place in the world!"

"Song Xiaoyi, don't let people with intentions listen." Yao Yulu said indifferently.

Song Jinzhi sighed again, "Don't I even have a place to speak freely? You guys go down!"

After Song Jinzhi finished speaking, the maidservant walked away, and suddenly there were only Song Jinzhi and Yao Yulu left in the pavilion.

"There are many people in the palace. If you can avoid it, you'd better avoid it." Yao Yulu took a sip of tea and said that it was the first time she had seen Song Jinzhi show her true thoughts. In the past, she was also out of the matter.

"I really can't stand these dirty things hidden in the palace. Yulu, I said this because I treat you as my own. I hope you understand." Song Jinzhi said.

In fact, Song Jinzhi is right. There is really too much filth hidden here, just like the matter of Sister Ning, but Song Jinzhi said that she was really moved by her as her own.

"Jinzhi, if you don't want to be a chivalrous woman, you really lost a pair of chivalrous bones." Yao Yulu covered her mouth and smiled, and her face was full of jokes.

Song Jinzhi took a sip of tea, which restored her previous appearance, without a trace of waves on her face, "Ha ha, what a chivalrous bone is not chivalrous, but there are some things that can't be seen in her eyes."

Yao Yulu nodded. There are many such things in this palace, and everything can be managed there.

"The most important thing is to protect yourself."

Song Jinzhi took a deep look at Yao Yulu. How could she not know this truth, but yesterday the Empress Dowager's favoritism of Liu Feifei really made her worthless for Yao Yulu.

The two suddenly fell silent, and there was a silence in the pavilion, but it was not long before they were interrupted by a silver bell-like laughter.

"The flowers over there are very beautiful. Let's go and have a look." There was no doubt in her tone. After a while, a shadow appeared in front of them. It turned out to be Princess Grace. She was wearing clothes and still looked very beautiful. Behind her was a man in beige clothes, Yao Yulu looked at it and was immediately shocked that it was Li Qingyu.
