The two guards outside looked at each other. They heard that it was about the poison on the emperor, so naturally they didn't dare to slack off at all.
Even though he went to report it to the emperor, the emperor hesitated for a moment and sent someone to repair the palace to pass on Yuqingluo's entry into the palace.
Yu Qingluo was a little surprised. In her opinion, the emperor's poison would not change, and there was nothing to say.
Concubine Wan is looking for me because she has other important matters.
Yu Qingluo packed up and entered the palace in a carriage. But when she entered the Yingshui Palace, she brought Nan Nan with her.
Nan Nan originally didn't want to go. He heard that there was one of the most important finals today and he wanted to go. After all, if he missed it, he would have no chance.
But his mother said that he had an important mission to follow him into the palace this time. Nannan felt that she had a heavy responsibility, so she followed him in anyway.
But…
Who will tell him why Mao doesn't let him enter the house
Who will tell him why Mao wants him to lie on the eaves where his mother and Concubine Wan are talking
Who will tell him that it is wet and raining on the roof. Although the rain is much lighter and cannot hit him, it is very uncomfortable. Why does no one in Mao care about his delicate little arms and legs
Nannan was very sad, but she could only purse her lips and act obediently for her mother... to let her go.
The guard opened the door and walked in facing Yu Qingluo.
Concubine Wan was sitting on a chair, holding a book in her hand, elegant and quiet as usual, without the slightest hint of panic or confusion as a prisoner.
Yu Qingluo gave the guard a small ingot of silver and told him, "You stay outside and don't let anyone in."
The guard looked at Concubine Wan, then at her, and finally exited the door respectfully.
The door of the Yingshui Palace was opened and closed again, and the slanting wind and drizzle were blocked out. Only tiny drops of rain fell from the roof.
Yu Qingluo sat down opposite Concubine Wan. Concubine Wan smiled and pushed the cup of tea in front of her to her hand.
"I have nothing to do in my free time. I like to read books, write lyrics, and make tea. It tastes so sweet and sweet that even the emperor praised it. Miss Qing, do you want to try it?"
After saying a few words, Concubine Wan paused again and added, "Don't worry, it's not poisonous. This palace has been thoroughly searched, and all the dangerous things are with the emperor."
Yu Qingluo smiled and shook her head. She picked up the teacup and took a sip. It tasted really good. The same tea leaves, but different people handled them, had a completely different taste.
"What do you want from me, my queen?"
Concubine Wan smiled, "It's just a small talk."
"I thought the empress should not be in Yingshui Palace at this moment." Yu Qingluo took another sip of tea, it was really delicious. If the situation didn't allow it, she really wanted to learn from Concubine Wan, and drinking tea might still be a pleasure in the future.
Concubine Wan raised her eyebrows and put down the book in her hand, "What do you think Miss Qing said?"
"My Majesty's careful planning for many years has been caught off guard, but I think she still has quite a few dead soldiers. It doesn't seem to be difficult for them to rescue her from the palace."
Yu Qingluo felt that Concubine Wan did not look like a person who would sit back and wait for death. She knew that the booklet was her talisman, and there would be no good end if it fell into the hands of the emperor.
Even if she couldn't exonerate herself, she could always leave the prison of the palace and save her own life.
But a few days after the incident, she still stayed peacefully in the Yingshui Palace, waiting for the emperor... to give her death.
Concubine Wan smiled lowly, raised her eyes to look at the bead curtain not far away, and said in a very low voice, "Yes, it is indeed not difficult to leave the palace. But what about leaving? I have spent so many years of hard work. I want Haoran to ascend to a high position legitimately."
However, now that the plan has failed, if she leaves the palace, she will be a fugitive and wanted throughout the country.
She was going to flee the world with those dead soldiers. If she wanted to make a comeback, how many years would it take
Even if she had the energy, she had no legitimate reason. Even if she forced Haoran to death, he would not be able to deal with his father.
There was never any retreat in Concubine Wan's plan.
She has always had only two paths, one... Success, his son will become the most powerful emperor of Feng Cang Kingdom, and she will become the powerful empress dowager.
There is another...failure, that is, death.
Yu Qingluo stared at Concubine Wan for a long time, then shook her head. Her views are completely different from Concubine Wan's. She has always believed in keeping the green mountains alive without fear of running out of firewood. Even if she only has one breath left, she will try her best to survive.
Concubine Wan's eyes were bright and she didn't have the slightest fear of facing death.
She turned her head to look at Yu Qingluo and said with a smile, "Miss Qing, how about we make a deal?"
"Deal?" Yu Qingluo chuckled, "Do you have what I want in your hands?"
"Of course there is. I'm afraid it's something that Miss Qing can't wait for."
Yu Qingluo was stunned. The thing she couldn't wait to want...
"What is your request?"
Concubine Wan stood up, walked slowly to the cabinet on the side, took out a book from it, flipped through it silently, and then said, "Keep Ye Haoran."
She knew that by plotting to kill the emperor, she had committed a serious crime that included the whole family being executed. Ye Haoran had just committed a crime, and the emperor's anger towards him was still lingering. Now that something like this happened to him again, he was afraid that he would not be spared easily.
Now the only person who can speak in front of the emperor is Ye Xiudu.
Yu Qingluo gave her a strange look. Even if Concubine Wan didn't mention this, Ye Xiudu would not let Ye Haoran go.
Concubine Wan's request was really strange.
Yu Qingluo was silent for a moment, then looked at her carefully for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay."
"I will not make things difficult for you. I know that Haoran's future life will not be the same as it is now. I just hope that he can live a more comfortable life... After all, he is still my most beloved son."
From now on, even if Ye Haoran is still the Eighth Prince, even if he is not implicated by him and sentenced to exile or beheading. But there is a high possibility that he was banned by the emperor in the Eighth Prince's Mansion, and perhaps was monitored for the rest of his life.
Ye Haoran's temperament has always been unruly, and such a life may destroy his will and make him less human.
All Concubine Wan's thoughts in her life have been on Ye Haoran, and now, she is still thinking about him the most.
Yu Qingluo sighed and nodded, "I understand."
Concubine Wan chuckled lightly and seemed to relax.
She glanced at Yu Qingluo and said with a smile, "Miss Qing, have you been looking for someone these days?"
Yu Qingluo was startled and her eyes suddenly widened.
"Miss Qing is looking for someone named Grandma Ge, right?"
"You..." Yu Qingluo was stunned.
"What if I say that I know her whereabouts?"
