Chapter 63 The Queen's Plan

Yao Yulu had a few tears in the corners of her eyes, and she was a little moved. For the two who were the descendants of ministers in the show girl, it was quite a repulsive relationship, but Song Jinzhi helped her so much, regardless of what she did, making her unable to repay.

"Thank you." Yao Yulu didn't know what to say, so she could only mutter like this.

"It doesn't matter. Everything will pass. Cheer up." Song Jinzhi comforted her and helped her up.

At this time, Li Qingyu quietly came over, walked carefully, and kept looking around. Seeing that there was no one around, he walked to Yao Yulu and asked, "What's wrong with your face?"

"The people's daughter has met the Eight Princes." The two of them appealed to Li Qingyu.

"It was yesterday's noble concubine..." Yao Yulu said, but never dared to look directly into Li Qingyu's eyes.

At this moment, Li Qingyu forgot Song Jinzhi beside Yao Yulu because of his anxiousness. When he noticed it, he immediately made a straight face and said, "Go back to rest early."

Seeing this, Song Jinzhi deliberately avoided it first.

Yao Yulu stopped Li Qingyu and asked, "Eight Prince, thank you for saving Yulu's life."

"It doesn't matter. Is it just a trivial matter? Can I still have the blood clotting dew I gave you last time? It's also useful to rub it on your face. Li Qingyu looked at Yao Yulu's cheek and felt a little heartbroken.

"Thank you for your concern." Yao Yulu lowered her head slightly and blushed when she said this. Her feelings for Li Qingyu may be just shyness to strange men. Maybe she is grateful, but she doesn't like it, because she is the emperor's woman anyway.

"Go back. I'm afraid it will cause trouble for you if you are seen." This time, Li Qingyu was afraid that he was worried because of his heartache and did not have the usual cynical smile, but said with a slight frown.

"That... Yulu left first. Yao Yulu said and slowly returned to the Taoyuan Hall with Song Jinzhi in the distance.

The queen is sitting in the bedroom at this moment, drinking tea leisurely. Yuner, the maid of honor who has been following her for many years, asked, "Empress, the Jade Concubine has always been against you. Why are you helping her sister today?"

The queen took a sip of tea and smiled, "Yao Xiu's woman is beautiful and her dancing skills are amazing. Sooner or later, she will be above Xiao Shufei."

The queen's words were indeed a little incredible in Yun'er's ears, saying, "Who seems to be difficult for Yao Xiunu to stay in the palace for a long time now, how can she..."

"The emperor has always paid no attention to things outside the court, but sooner or later." It seems that the queen has expected something. She feels that she has been in the harem for many years, looking at people accurately and will not think about losing her horse this time.

"But if Yao Xiu's daughter is really as the mother said, she shouldn't help." Yun'er said to herself.

"But there are more people who are more popular with the emperor now." The queen frowned slightly and said.

"The Empress Dowager is here." The internal prison outside the door summoned.

The queen had long expected that the empress dowager would come to find her for the truth. When she saw the empress dowager come in, she stood up and asked An, "My concubine, see the empress dowager, all the empress dowager."

"Get up." The Empress Dowager looked a little haggard and slowly sat in the chair. It seemed that the pain of losing her grandson had hit her hard. She stared at the queen and asked, "How can the emperor decide the death of the noble concubine?"

The queen thought that the empress dowager must have inquired from the palace people. At this moment, she came to ask her, but she just wanted to plead guilty. On the surface, the queen has always had a good relationship with the empress dowager, but she inevitably has her own small plan. She said, "The empress dowager, the eighth prince and a show girl have both testified that Yao Xiunu is innocent. The emperor has clearly determined that Yao Xiunu is innocent."

"Eight Princes?" The Empress Dowager asked, she had heard that Li Qingyu had gone to the palace, but she still wanted to hear the truth from the queen.

"That's why the eighth prince said that he remembered the anniversary of the imperial concubine's death and didn't want to do such an unscrupulous thing, so he told the truth out of good intentions."

The empress dowager stared at the queen and didn't say much for a long time, and then asked, "Does the queen like Yao Xiunu very much?" I heard that I helped her three or two times.

"My concubine treats people as one, please forgive me."

"Queen, the mourning family has always treated you well, and I hope you will cherish the kindness of the mourning family and not be against the mourning family."

"The Empress Dowager has taught her the lesson, but sometimes her concubines also have their own difficulties. Now Xiao Shufei is very favored by the emperor. I'm afraid that the empress dowager is also a little worried about this."

What the queen said makes some sense. The Empress Dowager has never liked Xiao Shufei, and it is even more taboo for someone to be spoiled in the harem. It seems that she understands that the queen wants to use Yao Yulu's hand to suppress Xiao Shufei? She sneered. I'm afraid the queen's thought too simple this time. A little beautiful girl can withstand today's favored Xiao Shufei.

The Empress Dowager frowned and said, "It's better to expect the queen to do more in moderation."

"My concubine will follow the teachings of the Empress Dowager." The queen lowered her head and replied, which seemed to be very respectful to the Empress Dowager, but how would her thoughts be shaken by the Empress Dowager's words?

The Empress Dowager nodded slightly and left with the servant. This time, she was a little dissatisfied with the queen, but the two had been getting along very well for many years. The queen was also her right-hand man in the harem, and even her dissatisfaction could only stop.

Yao Yulu walked into the Taoyuan Hall, and there were many beautiful girls standing in the courtyard. She was stunned to see her coming in. Ji Shuidong hurriedly greeted her and asked, "Sister, how's it going?"

"It's all right." Yao Yulu pulled the corners of her mouth tiredly, but she didn't want to say more.

Lv Fangxiao saw that Yao Yulu had returned safely and said, "It's good to come back, Yulu, you should thank Song Xiunu."

Liu Feifei came over uninterestingly and looked at Yao Yulu with a contemptuous face and said, "Yao Xiunu is really blessed. If you do such a harmful thing, you can return to the Taoyuan Hall. I don't know whether your life is good or the means are high."

Liu Feifei said and looked at Yao Yulu's cheeks with a facial hair and hummed laughingly.

Yao Yulu was originally tired. Listening to Liu Feifei's words, she did not fight back as usual. Without saying a sound, she silently walked towards the wing. She thought that from then on, she had been difficult to walk in this deep palace in this Taoyuan Hall.

Ji Shuidong said to Liu Feifei dissatisfiedly, "My sister hasn't done it. Why do you always say such sarcastic things?"

Liu Feifei sneered and said, "A group of falling dogs are very sorry for each other."

This was very unpleasant, which made Song Jinzhi frown and said, "Liu Xiunu, the day of the draft is coming. Why don't you look at your future? What's the use of just discussing right and wrong every day?"

"You..." Liu Feifei was choked by Song Jinzhi and couldn't speak. Song Jinzhi and Ji Shuidong did not pay attention to her and went back to the wing together.

In the west room, Yao Yulu took off the silk handkerchief and looked at the scars on her face, which were a little diluted because of the effect of blood coagulation. Ji Shuidong looked at her and felt very heartbroken.

"Sister, everything will be fine."

Yao Yulu only smiled lightly, and there was neither sadness nor loss in her eyebrows. She said flatly, "Sister, I'm afraid it will be very difficult in this palace in the future. I have already thought about it. If my sister develops in the future and can take care of me, I will already feel it."

Yao Yulu knows that these ominous things that have happened these days must be followed by Xiao Shufei's thoughts and think that she is indeed an ominous person. Today's emperor has always tabooed these things. He is afraid that she will become a taboo in the palace in the future. How can the emperor pity her again?

The more she thinks about it, the more colic she gets. This mistake is wrong in her life for the next few decades. If she fails in the draft, will it be her only way out?

"Sister, the scars on your face have faded a lot, and I think these things will slowly fade in people's hearts." Ji Shuidong comforted.

Yao Yulu said with a wry smile, "I hope it will be like this one day."

"Sister, it's almost the day of the draft. Do you need to make more preparations?"

Yao Yulu looked at the night sky in early summer, with a little starlight shining on her face. She said, "Well, it's up to fate. Maybe leaving the palace now is the greatest relief for me."

"How can my sister think that the hardships these days are not in vain?"

"That's happier than living in such a struggle in the second half."

"Sister..."

Yao Yulu stopped talking, just dragged her tired body to **, but she couldn't sleep for a long time.
