Meng Li said oh, it was really interesting.
The only people who could make Concubine Zheng salute were the Queen Mother and herself. When seeing the Queen Mother, could Concubine Zheng really be able to sit still
In a real sense, you only don't need to salute when you see him. Then didn't the emperor ask Concubine Zheng to trouble her
He also deliberately took a detour.
She said calmly: "It's okay since it's inconvenient."
He glanced at the blooming flowers next to him and said to Concubine Zheng: "Tell me, are people just like flowers, they can only be beautiful for a while when they are in full bloom?"
"My Lady, what do you mean by this?" Concubine Zheng's face changed.
Does this mean that her favor is only temporary
"Nothing else." Meng Li smiled and left with Qiaozhu.
Meng Li had no intention of quarreling with these people, it didn't mean much.
After all, these are unimportant people. The most important thing is the emperor. Well, he also has to find a way to be the queen. As for the appearance...
Let’s talk about it then.
After waiting patiently for a few more days, the emperor finally met Liu Meiren. The moment he saw Liu Meiren, he was stunned.
He had never noticed that there was such a beauty in the harem before.
He said something to express his goodwill on the spot and expressed that he was attracted to her.
But Liu Meiren's expression was always cold, and she did not try her best to cater to him because he was the emperor. Not only that, she was also very resistant.
Maybe people are just so weird, the more you resist, the more I like you.
You are indeed different from the other rouge fans. There are still women in this world who disdain holy favor.
However, because of Liu Meiren's rejection, the emperor did not visit her immediately. Instead, he chose to cultivate a relationship with her first. Even if he had nothing to do, he would go there to sit there and read a book with her.
This continued for several days, and when the two of them got along, the emperor always had that kind of thought. Liu Meiren avoided it again and again, having an intuition that she couldn't avoid it.
At this time, the imperial concubine asked her to meet again. She didn't want to meet, and she must have come to persuade her to obey the emperor.
Even though she couldn't resist and obeyed the emperor in the end, there was really no need to become a pawn of the imperial concubine and get involved in the harem fight.
But Concubine Dong sent another portrait, which made Liu Meiren panic, and she seemed to have to leave.
"Empress..." Meng Li sat in a relatively private pavilion in the imperial garden, watching Liu Meiren salute her.
She nodded: "Get up."
"What do you mean, your Majesty?" She went straight to the point, her brows filled with anxiety, and her cold expression disappeared.
Meng Li took out a portrait from his sleeve, spread it out on the table, and asked softly:
"What does this man have to do with you?"
Liu Meiren pursed her lips and did not speak.
Meng Li said, "You don't have to hide it from me. I've already investigated everything."
"This should be the friend you once had."
A few days ago, when I had nothing to do at night, I released my mental energy to see what Liu Meiren was doing, and then watched her painting this man. After she finished the painting, she looked at it crazily, and then burned it after reading it crazily. If not My sweetheart, why bother
She also drew a picture based on Liu Meiren's painting, and sent someone to check on Liu Meiren's hometown. She found out that this person was a scholar and wanted to take the imperial examination.
Meng Li imagined many romantic relationships between scholars and singers on the spot.
"Your Majesty, please don't taint my reputation. I really don't know this person." Liu Meiren chose to deny it.
Meng Li smiled and said: "He is just a scholar, and I can manipulate him at will. It just so happens that I don't like this scholar. If I do something, you won't blame me, right? After all, it doesn't matter to you. "
Faced with this threat, Liu Meiren knelt down in fear: "Please don't attack innocent people."
Meng Li said: "I just have some words that I want you to hear and take into your heart."
"Please speak clearly." Liu Meiren's heart was full of bitterness.
Sure enough, once you enter the palace, you can't control anything. They can easily find your weakness and threaten you.
Meng Li: "The emperor is now very interested in you. Even if you don't want to, you can't escape."
"I..." Liu Meiren was speechless.
"Look up and tell me, do you want to escape?" Meng Li asked her.
Liu Meiren raised her head, met Meng Li's indifferent gaze, and nodded blankly.
Meng Li said: "It is obviously unrealistic to leave the palace just like this."
"Can I still leave the palace?" Liu Meiren's eyes sparkled, and she was shocked.
Meng Li smiled: "How about we make a deal?"
"What deal?" She stared at Meng Li closely, and it could be seen from her nervous expression how much she wanted to leave the palace.
Meng Li pondered for a moment and said, "As long as you listen to my arrangements, I will definitely let you out of the palace safely."
"You may not be able to escape the matter of serving the emperor. Even if you don't have me, you won't be able to escape. Do you understand?"
"I..." Liu Meiren's face was full of resistance, but she also knew that what the imperial concubine said was the truth.
The emperor has set his sights on her, how could he let her go
Meng Li: "Give you time to think about it carefully."
Liu Meiren lowered her head again, and the space became silent. After a while, Liu Meiren raised her head, and finally figured it out, and looked at Meng Li firmly:
"As long as the empress can free me, I can do anything."
What does it matter if he becomes the concubine's chess piece
Even if he is not perfect in the end, as long as he can escape from the deep palace wall, what does it matter if he pays for it
She was not born to belong to this deep palace. It was too depressing here. She would rather be a singer again so that her mind could be free and there would be a man she loved deeply.
"Take this." Meng Li took out a beautiful box and opened it gently. Inside was a black pill that smelled very bad.
"Is this poison?" Liu Meiren hesitated for a moment, but also stretched out her hand to take it.
Meng Li nodded and said, "Think about it, can you accept any of my requests?"
"As long as the empress allows me to leave this deep palace, I am willing." Liu Meiren said.
Meng Li: "Okay, eat it. It's true that it's poison, but when you leave the palace, I will definitely give you the antidote, which will not affect your body."
"Thank you, empress." Liu Meiren took a deep look at the pill, stretched out her hand, twisted it, and resolutely put it into her mouth.
She had no choice. If she didn't listen to her mother-in-law, her sweetheart's safety would not be guaranteed. She might as well take a gamble and maybe be free again.
There was a sense of desolation in her heart again. She was born low and was only qualified to play chess for others. When the pill melted in her mouth, Meng Li smiled slightly.
This is not poison, but if Liu Meiren betrays her, it will definitely be worse than taking poison.
Since there is a transaction, there must be a spirit of contract.
"Please give me your instructions." Liu Meiren spoke, the bitter taste of the pills still lingering in her mouth.
Meng Li shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter at the moment. The Emperor will do everything according to your wishes. If you can avoid his luck, I have no problem with it."
