Chapter 239 Forgiveness
"Oh." Mo Ziyao smiled, took a breath slightly, and tried to calm down the turbulent mood. She looked at Yuzhi with a regretful face and said lightly, "Don't you think it's too late to beg me now?"
Yuzhi shook her head violently, and tears of regret slid down her cheeks. Mother, I am ashamed of your expectations for me. For a moment, I am fascinated and do something wrong. I am willing to punish you. But please listen to a few words before punishing the maidservant.
"You want to say that everything you do is under the instructions of Mrs. Yun, right?" Mo Ziyao sneered and didn't want to listen to her excuses at all.
"Mrs. Yun?" Yuzhi was stunned and frowned, "This has nothing to do with Mrs. Yun, because the pigeon blood was also given to her by others. And the stone had been tamped before it reached her.
"Oh?" Mo Ziyao looked surprised. Up to now, things have become more and more complicated. Unexpectedly, it was surprising that another person was brought out.
Waiting for Mo Ziyao to ask, Yuzhi continued to say, "This person, the Empress also knows, is the recent new Meng Xiuyuan."
"How could it be her!" It was late autumn that said this. Her eyes were round, and she obviously didn't believe Yuzhi's words.
That's right. Not only Wanqiu didn't believe it, but even Mo Ziyao was a little surprised when she heard that it was her. Although Mo Ziyao didn't have much contact with her, her performance in front of Lingyi Palace last night could show her personality.
How can a naturally timid, simple and afraid person silently plan such a huge and meticulous conspiracy?
Yuzhi glanced at Wanqiu, as if she knew that they would not believe the result and smiled faintly: "I know that you must be surprised, but it is true. There is a saying that bites people and does not bark. Everyone was just deceived by her ignorant and naive appearance.
With that, she pointed to her dirty clothes, gritted her teeth and said, "It's thanks to that woman that I'm like this now."
"I don't believe that Yuzhi is so smart that you can give up a big tree and rely on a small grass that has not yet grown up. I can't see your motivation."
At this time, Mo Ziyao showed her calm side. Obviously, she would not believe Yuzhi's words.
"Oh." Yuzhi suddenly smiled, and a look of disappointment flashed in her eyes. She laughed at herself and said, "If you don't believe in me, you can't do anything about me. And the reason why the maidservant has today is also guilty. Although the maidservant is a maidservant, she always has a heart that can fly to the branches one day?
Mo Ziyao frowned. Although Yuzhi's words were rebellious, they easily reminded her of Ruan Lingzheng's whereabouts after New Year's Eve. When he was in Yuyao Palace, she often flattered him intentionally or unintentionally. The indomitable spirit was really furious. Unbearable.
"Do you think Xing Mengjie Xiuyuan can help you fulfill this wish?" Mo Ziyao sneered and played with the teacup in her hand.
She is just a little Xiuyuan. Even if you are favored recently, you can't be promoted to a higher level than yourself in a short time.
Even if, as Yuzhi said, under the harmless appearance of human and animal, she actually hides a cautious, meticulous and greedy heart. Even if Ruan Lingzheng really spoils her, the power she can rely on is only her father as an official in the court. But he is just a small servant. How can he compete with the Lin and Liu families?
Mo Ziyao couldn't figure out where she got the courage to offend so many people at the same time. And none of them can be provoked by her. Is it that you are confident in your prudent decision-making that no one can see through all this?
If so, then she overestimates herself.
However, at present, Mo Ziyao doesn't want to rush to find out what kind of person Meng Xiuyuan is. Instead, why did Yuzhi fall in with her? Later, what happened to Meng Xiuyuan made her look like this. Also, where did the endless hatred for Meng Xiuyuan come from?
A trace of contempt obviously flashed in Yuzhi's eyes and snorted, "It's always just a relationship of mutual use, relying on her? It's not worth my Yuzhi's follow-up.
"Yuzhi, how can you become like this? Is your mother good to you? Don't you have a scale in your heart? I really didn't expect that you would frame your mother with others for your selfish desires. Has your conscience been eaten by the dog?" Wanqiu couldn't listen. He pointed to her and accused her angrily.
Yuzhi raised her eyes and glanced at Wanqiu and smiled at her indifferently, "What do you think of me? At this point, I have never thought of escaping. If I did something wrong, I should have thought of the consequences to bear. Oh, what's the matter? No matter how heavy the punishment is, it's more than death. Will I be afraid of death if I have just come back from hell?"
"You...you..." Wanqiu pointed to her hand and kept trembling, but she was so angry that she couldn't say a word.
Mo Ziyao also frowned and her face was not good. Although she is angry with Yuzhi's attitude, she will not scold her. After all, is it useful for a person who has already taken risks and cares about these things with her?
"Don't tell me that Meng Xiuyuan wants to kill you." Mo Ziyao's tone was fierce.
Yuzhi was stunned and said depressingly, "Mother, why don't you want to believe that she is a vicious woman?"
She paused and her eyes lit up, as if she suddenly remembered something and said, "You don't believe in slaves, so Lord Chu always believes it, right?"
Late autumn's face changed, but Mo Ziyao's expression became colder and colder. She sneered and said lightly, "Before this palace, why didn't you realize that Yuzhi was actually a very scheming person?"
It's been hidden for so many years, isn't it? When it comes to Chu Qingtian, do you want to warn me that I have a handle in your hand? I thought you were really not afraid of death!
Yuzhi's shoulder collapsed, and she sighed deeply. After inspecting the hall for a week, she suddenly burst into laughter. The laughter was crazy and sharp, like a crazy madman pouring out his uncontrollable emotions. It took a long time before it gradually calmed down.
"It seems that the maidservant won't believe what she said. That's it, that's it..." With that, she slowly got up from the ground and saluted Mo Ziyao respectfully: "Thank you for your cultivation of slaves in the past two years. I'm unwilling to ask for your forgiveness, so I broke off!" After saying that, she walked out of the hall without looking back.
In Wanqiu's surprise, she had received Mo Ziyao's wink and hurriedly chased out, grabbed Yuzhi's arm and asked, "Where are you going?"
Yuzhi wanted to shake off Wanqiu's hand, but was surprised to find that Wanqiu's hands were as heavy as iron. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free. When she looked at Shang Wanqiu's concerned eyes, her expression finally changed. The red eyes are full of regret, hesitation and unwillingness.
But she seemed to be afraid of being discovered by Wanqiu, so she quickly turned her face and said coldly, "I know that I have no face to continue to stay in the Yuyao Palace, so I will go to the halberd library and be punished. What, are you going to stop me?"
Wanqiu pulled her aside and whispered, "What are you doing so stubbornly? Did the Empress say she would punish you? Go and apologize to the Empress and explain the cause and effect of the matter clearly. Otherwise, the Empress can't protect you.
Yuzhi's eyes showed surprise, but she soon disappeared and shook her head and said, "I did something wrong, and I should be punished."
Yuzhi's expression could not escape Mo Ziyao's eyes at all, and she also listened to their conversation. At this time, he put down the teacup in his hand and snorted coldly, "Do you think you can live tomorrow without the protection of this palace?"
Yuzhi's body trembled obviously, and she seemed to have been waiting for Mo Ziyao's attitude. Hearing Mo Ziyao finally make a statement, she couldn't hide her inner joy. She knelt down again, knocked her head at Mo Ziyao and said excitedly, "Thank you for your kindness. Yuzhi, the maidservant, hereby swears that she will never betray you from now on. If there are two hearts, you will be destroyed, and you will die. !"
Mo Ziyao actually expected Yuzhi to do this for a long time. There was no wave in her calm eyes. She just tapped her head and asked her to get up.
Although Yuzhi's betrayal made her furious, such a maidservant would no longer stay with her, but Mo Ziyao thought about it thoroughly.
No one is willing to die, and ants are still living secretly, not to mention human beings! Especially for a person with a dream in his heart, he is less willing to give up the opportunity to live easily.
Since you don't want to die, it's better to give him a chance to be grateful. Bet on her guilt for herself and the remaining conscience.
It's easy to kill a person, but it takes courage and means to follow a person.
The reason why Mo Ziyao forgives Yuzhi at this moment is that on the one hand, she feels that there are still secrets in Yuzhi, and on the other hand, there are too few trustworthy people around her. She doesn't want the people around her to abandon her one by one.
Because she found that her situation in this harem was already precarious. That's why I am so eager to cultivate a group of reliable subordinates and support a force that can be used for themselves in the future.
In this harem, no matter how capable you are, your unsatiable right-hand man, a dedicated follower, and a magnificent background or power, you are just a paper tiger, and no one will be afraid of you.
The struggle in the harem has never been much easier than the civil and military officials in the court. If the people don't respect their status, they will be mediocre and ignorant.
There is only life and death, no winning or losing. This is the law of survival of the harem.
Mo Ziyao thought that she had understood the purpose of Chu Qingtian not to kill Yuzhi.
He knows himself as well as he knows him.
All he has done is to hope that she can live a good life in the harem.
Yuzhi's heart has quietly changed for Mo Ziyao's tolerance and generous. She vowed that the oath just now is by no means an empty word.
Because she clearly knew that her life was given by Mo Ziyao, and she knew exactly what she should do next.
[I didn't expect that many days of tension and worry were superfluous. The exam was not as difficult as I thought, and it passed easily. Alas, I really don't know when the leaves have become so unconfident~]
