Chapter 2bai07 Bet 2
At night, it was as quiet as death. There were occasional weak coughs in the hall, and there were continuous footsteps outside the hall.
Yu Meiren sat up from ** and heard the door of the hall creaking. When she raised her eyes, she glanced at the person who came in. A cold color appeared in her eyes, and then turned into a faint smile.
"You all retreat."
The Empress Dowager has already spoke, and all the maids present, including Xinyu and Mother Su, have retreated, leaving only Yu Meiren.
"Is the imperial concubine in good health?"
The Empress Dowager's tone was extremely light and seemed to be concerned, but it made Yu Meiren feel cold.
"Please forgive me for being weak and sick. I can't get out of bed with the empress dowager."
"That's all." The Empress Dowager came close, walked down from the bed, and looked at each other closely. The restrained but burning light in the bottom of her eyes was a little compelling, so that Yu Meiren could only grasp the bedding tightly and stared with a smile.
"The imperial concubine's body is important, so the etiquette is free, but where is the maid who served closely by the imperial concubine a few days ago? Why didn't my family see her serving here today?
Yu Meiren's heart sank, and the empress dowager's words were very meaningful. Shulan was afraid that she had fallen into the other party's hands at this moment. She should have thought that the empress dowager's iron wrist was not out of thin air. It must be true. It seemed that she was too unthinking.
"My concubine is indeed wrong. Although Shulan is a maid of honor, she is also a relative of my distant wife. I found selfishness to put her in the palace. If this little girl does something against the palace rules, please forgive her once for the sake of her poor health and neglecting discipline."
"You are a smart person. You don't need to say that anyone who has done something wrong to the court will be punished. The crime can be large or small, but if the crime is too big, you will be killed. You are the imperial concubine. At this time, you should avoid suspicion and should destroy your relatives and protect yourself wisely."
The Empress Dowager suddenly put her hand on the back of Yu Meiren's hand. The sudden warmth of the back of her hand made Mei Yu's body tremble, looked at the other party in fear, gritted her teeth, and softened the stiffness of her face.
"It is important to protect herself, but after all, Shulan's girl is the person in front of this palace and the palace she entered before the incident. If this matter really involves a little girl, isn't it telling the world? This palace is the mastermind of this matter. People in the world are not fools. If this palace is really the mastermind, why did you go to Liangzhou to investigate the disaster relief? Didn't you hit your own mouth?
The beauty saunted, gritted her teeth, and her voice was cold, but she maintained this superficial smile.
"What's more, this matter is simply what the emperor ordered me to do. If I tell the truth, won't it implicate the emperor?"
"Okay, what a tidy girl, I really didn't see the wrong person."
The empress dowager said, lowered her head, spread her clenched fist, put her palm up, and looked at it carefully for a while. Seeing that the other party's behavior was unclear, the empress dowager was about to ask. The empress dowager had raised her head and seemed to have a deep meaning in her expression.
"The mourning family just looked at the texture of the imperial concubine's palm. Do you believe it or not?"
The empress dowager's question was brainless. Beauty Yu stared into the other party's eyes for a while, and then avoided it: "Beauty has never believed in fate. If you believe it, there is such a thing, and if you don't believe it, there is nothing. Even if fate is doomed, I still believe that people will prevail."
"A good person will win the sky. When I was young, I also had this idea. Do you know that you look like a person?
"So does the Empress Dowager like this person or not?"
Beauty Yu took action, pulled back her hand from the empress dowager's hand, raised her eyebrows, and provoked.
"Do you know that my family actually appreciates you and envy you?"
The Empress Dowager did not answer her words. She got up and stared at her quietly: "When I was your age, my family was not as proud as you. As a woman, what you could do. If my family could do it at the beginning, then the country of the Beiqiu Dynasty would be stable."
"I just saw your palm print, which shows your destiny and is destined to be in power."
Beauty Yu was a little panicked and didn't know how to describe her current feelings. She never thought that a woman who lived in a deep palace for a long time and was famous for relying on her mother's etiquette would have such a huge ambition.
"Does the empress dowager mean that she wants a beautiful woman to be a chess piece of power?"
"Some things are yours or yours, and you can't take them away if they are not yours." The Empress Dowager turned around and seemed to have already decided something in her words. She was not in a hurry.
"You have a secret that only your mother knows except for your family, but from now on, it will only be a secret."
Does she have secrets? Yu Mei looked at the Empress Dowager in surprise and couldn't help asking, "Is the secret told by the Empress Dowager related to me? Is it because of this secret that Youcheng Mansion was involved in the loan?
"I know too much, and it's not good for you."
The Empress Dowager looked at her coldly: "The mourning family said that the choice was all in your own hands, but after waiting for so long, your heart is still not cruel enough, so this time, the mourning family needs help you."
"As long as the Youcheng Mansion can be preserved, no matter what the Empress Dowager asks the beauty to do, the beauty is willing to do it."
Beauty Yu was emotional and wanted to get up from **, but she was finally powerless.
"Only one person in the world has the right to do what you want."
"Do you mean the emperor?"
The Empress Dowager shook her head with a smile: "The mourner didn't say anything."
Betweighing, Beauty Yu has understood that what she wants today will not be what she wants. It seems that she is the only one who can rely on now.
"The empress dowager can know that the reason why the Beiqiu Dynasty has today is that the minister and concubine have contributed to it. The minister and concubine did not ask for anything else, but for the concubine's family to be safe and sound. If someone bullied people too much, it is impossible for the minister and concubine to sit back and wait for death."
"Are you threatening to mourn your family?"
The Empress Dowager looked back and looked cold, but Yu Meiren was unwilling to look at it.
"My concubine dare not. For the sake of this so-called world and for a love that does not exist at all, my concubine has lost too much and doesn't want to lose it anymore. If people don't offend me, I won't commit it, but it doesn't mean that my concubine has no temper and is urgent. What does this world have to do with me?"
"It seems that you still don't understand."
The Empress Dowager said coldly: "If you want to be unmanipated, you must first have the supreme power. Only superior people can choose. Anyway, the mourning family promised you that you would not fall into the well, but the fate of Youcheng Mansion is all in your hands, and the emperor.
After the Empress Dowager finished speaking, she was about to walk out of the hall alone.
"Has the Empress Dowager ever had someone she really wanted to care about?"
This sentence made the person who originally wanted to leave stop, but it was still just a back. Beauty Yu looked at the back and suddenly felt very cold. Maybe the right would really change a person, a woman who was once dignified and noble enough to be a mother, and finally gave up her sincerity.
The most terrible thing is that now this woman is trying to change her fate and make her a person like her, forcing her to deal with her relatives and her relatives.
Will such a woman be sincere?
"What the mourning family has done is worthy of the sky, worthy of the earth, and worthy of the ancestors of the Beiqiu Dynasty. What the mourning family has done is just for the world, because those who can really cherish the world must first empty their hearts."
Such an answer, even if the answer was wrong, told her the truth.
Beauty Yu smiled gently, allowing tears to be bitter, penetrating the coldness of the bottom of her heart again, but she could not fall down.
"Mother."
Xinyu ran in from the outside and reached out to hold her cold fingertips. The Empress Dowager had just left, and she didn't know what she said to the beauty. Now she is just worried that those words would hurt her body.
"Xinyu, I tell you that if you can escape, leave this palace, no matter where you go. This palace is really terrible. There are terrible people everywhere. I am afraid that one day I will become such a terrible person.
"No, no, no, you will always be so gentle and compassionate to the world in Xinyu's heart."
Xinyu held the woman's hand tightly and said the comforting words from the bottom of her heart.
"World? Humph, do you think I really care about this world? My relatives are now in prison, but I want to enjoy high beds and soft pillows. Maybe it won't be long before I can still be a mother, but I would rather use all this to make time go back. I have never been to this deep palace and have been alone.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is not alone. Your Majesty and Xinyu, and Shulan. By the your Majesty and the emperor, the emperor is so kind to your Majesty, you must not want to see your Majesty like this."
"Your Majesty?"
Beauty Yu pushed the other party away with a sneer, and then the laughter kept overflowing, with a little sharpness: "I tell you, the most unbelievable in this world is the emperor."
What she said is not wrong. Everything is because of that earthworm. If it hadn't been for him, she wouldn't have given up being the beloved beauty of the Yu family, holding a long sword and going through life and death; if it hadn't been for him, she wouldn't have destroyed Tianliang, killed the previous emperor, and blamed Beiqiu He; if it hadn't been for him, she wouldn't have lost the only love that she could trust and feel warm, because of all of this. It's up to him.
"The emperor is here."
With a shout outside the door of Zihua Palace, Yu Mei woke up like a dream and reached out to touch her face. Fortunately, there was no wet touch.
The people who should have come finally came, and the people who shouldn't have come also came in such a timely manner.
Beauty Yu sneered, looked at Xinyu standing on the side, and slowly said, "Since I'm here, I won't let him leave so easily. I'll bet with myself for the last game. Xinyu, go and prepare for it. I need to take a bath."
Xinyu was about to leave, but was stopped by the beauty.
"Wait a minute, you go and bring the medicine prepared by Shulan a few days ago. When you go out to see the emperor, tell him to wait for me outside the palace. Go and get water."
"Yes."
Xinyu's face was sad, but she did not dare to refute, so she had to turn around and walk out of the hall.
