Chapter 111 Yufei Desolate
The dim candlelight flashed on their faces. Yao Yulu looked around and asked, "Why are these people here today?"
"It is said that I have had a rbidity, and all the people in the palace who can go have gone. Don't be afraid, sister. In fact, I'm not a disease here, but I haven't recovered for a long time and have become a little asthma and dry cough." Yao Yujiao said that she was afraid that Yao Yulu would be scared away, and said hurriedly again.
Yao Yulu took Yao Yujiao's hand with a shallow smile. The hand was really slippery, but it was more powerless at this moment. Yao Yulu gently rubbed the jade hand and said, "It's Yulu who is not good. I haven't seen my sister come. I didn't expect such a big thing to happen to my sister. These dog slaves will not be so popular. There will be a good end."
"That's all. I've seen it a lot. The people in this palace are just like this. I've been used to it for a long time." Yao Yujiao said that her expression was a little gloomy again, and she coughed again, and the sound shocked her lungs.
"Sister, don't say such a thing. Has Dad ever come to see you?" Yao Yulu's father couldn't ignore Yao Yujiao's situation.
"Now that I have lost my power, the people in the harem will not let my father enter my Yuxia Palace. Ha ha, that's all, even if Dad comes, he just brings some food, but his heart is always cold." Yao Yujiao said slowly, and her eyes became more and more blurred. Thinking of the proud jade concubine, she didn't look like the poor woman in front of her.
"Sister... How could the emperor be so affectionate that he didn't even come to see you?" Yao Yulu asked puzzledly that Yao Yujiao and the emperor had been in love for many years. Even if Xiao Shufei angered the emperor so lightly last time, Yao Yujiao was just ill and had not committed any crime. How could she even look at it?
"Since ancient times, emperors have been so affectionate. How can such a girl not know?" Yao Yujiao said with a shallow smile on her face. Anyway, she looked more like laughing at herself.
"Sister... Looking at this scene here, won't the queen come to ask? Yao Yulu felt that the emperor ignored Yao Yujiao, but with the queen's gentle and generous personality, she has always taken good care of the harem, which should not be ignored.
"Queen? Ha ha, I have sent people several times and sent something that is not salty, but nothing happened. Yao Yujiao said this with a little contempt. She could see clearly what kind of person the queen was?
Yao Yulu was silent and stopped talking. In this harem, it was really "only heard by newcomers laughing, how can the old people cry". When Ji Shuidong and Xu Cairen were graceful, their sister was alone in the empty boudoir, and even the most basic guarantee could not be kept.
"Sister, don't be too anxious. I don't know what Yulu can do?" Yao Yulu asked with concern.
"I'm looking for you today, and I'm going to trouble you." Yao Yujiao suddenly looked a little serious and said.
"Sister, just say it." Yao Yulu replied without hesitation.
"I want you to be favored again." Yao Yujiao did not continue to talk, but observed Yao Yulu's reaction.
Yao Yulu trembled slightly. Why didn't she think that what her sister said was this? She asked, "Is this what my sister asked me to help?"
"It is that now that I am seriously ill, I have always been taken care of by the useless imperial doctor, and the power of our Yao family in the palace is also because I lost power and is not as good as before. It is necessary for someone to be favored by the emperor to change everything, and you are the person who can change all this." Yao Yujiao said with a firm look. In fact, she was not sure whether Yao Yulu would agree. Since Yao Yulu was punished last time, she saw that she had no intention to compete for favor. At present, she made this request, and she really couldn't figure out how Yao Yulu would make this decision.
Yao Yulu pondered for a moment, bit her lips tightly and thought about it, and said, "Yulu thought it was inappropriate. Last time the emperor had a deep hatred for me, and then thought about it was just a delusion. I'm afraid that my sister sent the wrong instructions."
Yao Yujiao didn't expect that Yao Yulu would refuse so resolutely, which was a good opportunity for others in the palace to break their heads. How could her sister be so light? She then said, "Sister, you should think more, not to mention for me, but for your own future."
Yao Yulu looked indifferent, and even her beloved sister Yao Yujiao now has such a situation. She has long been afraid of the right and wrong in the palace. She is afraid that it will be difficult for her to make a decision that will satisfy Yao Yujiao by how to persuade her.
She said, "Sister, everyone next to Yulu can help you, but this matter is entrusted to others. I have long been clear-hearted and don't want to participate in these things anymore. Yulu believes that she has no ability to prosper in the palace."
"Sister, I'm afraid it's too simple for you to think about the right and wrong of this harem. In this palace, if you don't advance, you will retreat. Isn't it so easy to protect yourself?" Yao Yujiao persuaded earnestly, but saw that Yao Yulu was unmoved and could only shake her head helplessly.
"It's getting late. Yulu left first." Yao Yulu saw that the atmosphere in the hall was already dull, so she whispered.
"Go away. Why don't you go back and think about it? If you change your mind, come to me again." After saying that, Yao Yujiao coughed violently, and her pale little face turned red, and then waved her hand to let Yao Yulu retreat.
After Yao Yulu walked out of the hall, Yao Yujiao called Bier in and said, "Go and send that letter home. Now there is no other way."
Bier repeatedly said yes, Yao Yujiao looked at the dim yellow lights, and the glory of the past was vivid in her eyes. Now it is such a miserable scene that she couldn't help but crawl out of her eyes and express her sad feelings.
Yao Yu exposed the Yuxia Palace and looked up at the sky but there were no stars. It seemed to be covered with a layer of fog. She didn't know what kind of mood such a palace was hiding. Even if it was summer and winter, it was difficult to give up.
When I entered the palace that day, it was just a few months ago. At that time, Xiao Shufei and Yufei dominated the harem. Now they have been punished for a long time. The glory of the two of them no longer exist. The love of the emperor is really not just nonsense.
She returned to Yuemei Palace and saw that Lv Panxiao had prepared everything for her, so she was busy lying on the bed to rest and looking for Lv Pang Xiao to come in to talk.
"I don't know what happened to the Jade Concubine looking for the little master today?" Lv Fanxiao stood aside and asked softly. She saw that Yao Yulu didn't look very good as soon as she came back. She always sighed and knew why she was upset.
"Oh, she let me be favored again." Yao Yulu slowly spit out these words, but she was worried and still looked sad.
Lv Panxiao immediately said happily, "If the Jade Concubine is willing to create opportunities for the little master, this is a great good thing. Why is the little master worried?"
Lv Pangxiao, as the maid in charge of Yao Yulu, has always been looking forward to Yao Yulu's rekindling her fighting spirit. Now with the advice of the Jade Concubine, she thinks that she is inseparable.
But I didn't expect Yao Yulu to say, "You don't know what I'm thinking and have been fighting for. Now my sister is seriously ill and can't even be relied with a medical doctor. You haven't seen the desolate scene of the main hall of Yuxia Palace, but you want to entrust me with such a thing. Although I refused, I finally I can't let it go."
Lv Fangxiao understood what Yao Yulu meant after listening to it. She knew that she had no intention to favor Lv Fangxiao, but when she saw her sister's situation in front of her, she was afraid that she was worried and couldn't let it go. Even if she refused, it was not difficult to change her mind with such a soft-hearted nature as Yao Yulu.
"The little master should still think more and think about it for herself and for her mother's family. Now the Jade Concubine is so desolate that she can only rely on the little master in the palace." Lv Pang and Xiao Shunteng went on and persuaded him.
"Is it so easy to be favored? Unlike Shuidong and Ninger, I have been disgusted by the emperor for a long time. How can I be easily spoiled now? Yao Yulu said with some distress, looking more and more worried.
"Little Lord, the emperor is annoyed with so many things every day, how can he also take your mistake to heart? What's more, Ji Changzai and Xu Cairen are both favored in front of the emperor. If the little master is favored again, there will be some care between the three sisters. Lv Pang Xiao saw that Yao Yulu's attitude was not as resolute as usual, so he continued to persuade him.
"Fang Xiao, you don't know my suffering. I'm already afraid, but I really can't let go of the appearance of Yufei just now." Yao Yulu said.
"Little lord, if you don't enter the harem, you will retreat, and the words of the maidservant can only be said here." After saying that, Lv Pangxiao stepped down to prepare for Yao Yulu to wash.
Leaving Yao Yulu to sit in front of the bed alone, and if she doesn't advance, she will retreat... My sister just said this, and now it is another meaning from Lv Fangxiao's mouth. What is progress and what is retreat? Thinking of the ridicule of Liu Feifei and Lian Xingyue today, I'm afraid that if you really don't advance, you will retreat. When there is no way back, your life will also disappear.
Two days later, it was the day when the concubines went out of the palace to fight hundreds of grass in the mountains, which seemed more like a picnic outside the palace in the past.
Yao Yulu got up early and seemed to have some expectations in her heart. Early in the morning, she picked a mint-colored skirt and painted simple makeup. It seems that it really complements this hot summer and is more cool and playful.
"Lord, I will go to the queen's place after breakfast." Lv Panxiao said beside him.
Yao Yulu smiled and said, "I know, I don't know how to arrange lunch today?"
"I'm afraid the lunch will be delayed for a while, and the masters will go back to the palace to eat together." Lv Pangxiao replied.
Yao Yulu nodded and saw Xu Cairen standing at the door with a smile.
"Ning'er, you're here." Yao Yulu said with a sweet smile.
"Yes, sister. The queen authorized me to go, but I can't do activities at will, which is really disappointing. Xu Cai said gloomyly, with a look full of unhappiness.
"The queen is also a perfect solution for your own good. She will lose her temper if she stays in the palace alone with her sister Ning." Yao Yulu joked.
"Sister Yao, I'm not a child, why do I lose my temper?" Xu Cairen didn't follow him and puffed up his little mouth.
"They are all going to be mothers, and they are still bulging." Yao Yulu smiled and said.
As soon as Xu Cairen heard this, he immediately covered his little mouth with his hand and looked mischievous.
