Chapter 268 bleak New Year's Eve

When he came to the side palace known as the Widow's Court, Hyman almost didn't recognize Huang Yuejiao. Yue Yu didn't see her. She was almost out of shape, her cheeks were sunken, and the cheekbones on both sides were particularly prominent. Her originally ruddy and shiny face was as yellow as soil.

"Sister Xia!" She saw Hyman and struggled to sit up.

Hyman hurried over and held her and let her lean against the head of the bed. Holding her skinny hand, she couldn't help being sad, " Yuejiao, how did you become like this?"

"Sister Xia, I know I'm wrong now!" There were tears in Huang Yuejiao's eyes, "I thought that even if I entered the palace, even if I didn't have the emperor's favor, I would live well. But now I know, it's not the same thing at all. There are times when I can't eat delicious food, and there are times when I'm not in the mood to wear beautiful clothes... I shouldn't have come to the palace at the beginning. I regret it so much..."

She said and threw herself into Hyman's arms and cried loudly. Hayman was sadly cried by her and accompanied by tears.

Huang Yuejiao cried like a flood that broke the dike, and it took two quarters of an hour to stop crying. Hyman comforted her with kind words, and she was in a better mood.

Out of the side palace, Hyman's mood couldn't stop being heavy. I was persuaded for a while and couldn't comfort him for a lifetime. If it goes on like this, Huang Yuejiao will either be crazy or die of illness. She is still so young, how can she waste her good time in this gorgeous cage?

The more you think about it, the more sad it is, and the more uneasy it is. By the time she came to her senses, she had already walked outside the Zhaoyang Hall. She hesitated again and again, and finally decided to go in and beg Jiang Yu!

When Jiang Yu heard that Haiman wanted to see him, a surprise flashed in his eyes, "Let her in!"

"Yes!" An Sheng answered, went out to attract Hyman in, and retreated out of the door knowingly.

"Are you finally willing to come to see me?" Jiang Yu deliberately darkened his face.

Hyman knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I'm here to ask you for grace!"

Jiang Yu's eyes flashed, "What do you want?"

"I had a good sister, who was the concubine of the former emperor. She couldn't get the favor of the emperor, so she lived in the side palace. Because of a series of changes, she was physically and mentally exhausted and fell ill. The maidservant wants to ask the emperor to allow her to leave the palace!"

Jiang Yu's face was really gloomy, "Don't you have any other reason to come to see me except for others?"

Haiman heard his unhappy tone, "I'm sorry. I promise there won't be a next time. Please..."

"Do you want to see me forever?" Jiang Yu roared and interrupted her words. Seeing Hyman's frightened face, he realized that he had lost his composure. He took a deep breath and calmed down his emotions. "Why do you always ask for grace for others instead of asking for yourself? You should know that I have always wanted to compensate you..."

Haiman's eyes flashed, "I don't want anything, so I boldly beg the emperor to transfer this heart to my good sister and let her go out of the palace..."

"You are really selfless!" Jiang Yu's anger just suppressed burst out again and sneered, "It's okay for me to let her go out of the palace, but you have to promise me a condition!"

Hyman's heart suddenly sank, "What are the conditions?"

"To be my queen!" Jiang Yu said word by word.

Although he had been prepared for a long time, Hyman couldn't help but be surprised. His face changed and he didn't say anything. Jiang Yu sneered, "Why don't you talk? Aren't you going to plead with your good sister? Let me see how great you are!"

Hyman straightened his face, "I am just a mortal, not so great. The emperor favored the maidservant so much that the maidservant was grateful, but the maidservant could not accept it. Then the maidservant will leave first!" After saying that, he kowtowed his head, got up and walked out.

Mo Zhu came to report something. As soon as he got to the door, he was surprised to hear Jiang Yu say that he wanted Haiman to be the queen. At this time, he couldn't help it and broke in regardless of his ability. "Your Majesty, don't be careless!"

"I'm not rash. I've thought about it carefully!" Jiang Yu glanced at him.

"But your Majesty, when we asked King Kang Jing for troops, we promised him to give his daughter a proper name..."

"I promised, but I didn't say that Qin Xuerun would be the queen. At worst, I would let her be the noble concubine!"

"Your Majesty..."

"I have made up my mind. You don't need to say more!" Jiang Yu turned his back to him and said that he didn't want to listen to any persuasion.

Mozhu couldn't help sighing secretly. Jiang Yu didn't know about Haiman's feelings, but he also knew very well that Haiman was different from other women. What's more, her relationship with Yi Yun was deeply rooted and no one could be separated. Even the emperor had no hope. In the end, it was only the emperor who was injured!

Jiang Yu didn't think so. He thought that as long as he didn't agree to let Huang Yuejiao out of the palace, Haiman would come to him again. He knew that Hyman's heart was with Yi Yun. He would first keep her people and then grab her heart!

But Hyman didn't come to him for a long time. The two were so deadlocked that it was New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye. Except for a group of subordinates who vowed to follow him to death, Jiang Yu did not have any relatives or concubines, and the harem was idle.

Although Mo Zhu prepared a rich banquet for him and asked some familiar people to accompany him, he still felt desolate and unwilling to eat. He barely drank a few glasses of wine and left Zhaoyang Hall with An Sheng.

"Your Majesty, why don't I order them to set off fireworks for you?" An Sheng saw that he looked lonely and thought of a way to make him happy.

"What's the point of watching fireworks alone?" Jiang Yu sighed slightly.

An Sheng glanced at his face, "Your Majesty, why don't you... go to the Shangfu Bureau!" Seeing Jiang Yu frowning, he hurriedly added, "The Shangfu Bureau makes a lot of lanterns every year, which are beautiful. The emperor will definitely like it!"

Jiang Yu knew in his heart that An Sheng was the reason to help him find the Shangfu Bureau. In fact, his heart had already flown to the Shangfu Bureau. "Then go and have a look!"

"Yes!" An Sheng hurriedly led him to the Shangfu Bureau, but he didn't want to get empty.

"Man'er is not here. She said she would go to the palace to see some friends!" The palace man of the Shangfu Bureau told An Shengdao.

An Sheng came over and reported the original words and asked carefully, "Your Majesty, shall we go back to Zhaoyang Hall?"

Jiang Yu pondered slightly, "Let's go to the side palace. I want to see if her friend is really sick!"

"Yes!" An Sheng smiled in his heart. Seeing his friends was just an excuse. In fact, he still wanted to see Miss Man'er!

Haiman made some dumplings, cooked them and brought them to Huang Yuejiao's bed. "Come on, eat some!"

"I have no appetite!" Huang Yuejiao shook her head.

"Today is the Spring Festival, at least you can take a bite!" Hyman put a dumpling in her mouth.

Huang Yuejiao couldn't bear to brush her kindness and barely ate two, but her stomach turned upside down and couldn't help vomiting.

"I'm sorry, sister, you made dumplings, but I can't eat them!" She apologized.

Hyman couldn't help feeling sad and hugged her and burst into tears, "I'm sorry for you!"

"What's wrong with me, sister? I'm like this, and no one else wants to look at me more. Only you are willing to come to see me and spend the Spring Festival with me!"

"Anyway, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Hyman hugged her tightly and burst into tears.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Huang Yuejiao sensed her strangeness and gently patted her on the back, "Is there something bothering you? Tell me about it!"

Hyman shook his head vively, "I'm fine!" If she is willing to agree to Jiang Yu, Huang Yuejiao can leave the palace and will not accumulate depression when she sees hope. But how should she say this to Huang Yuejiao? Saying that she is too selfish, so she can only watch her good friend die of illness in the palace?
