"Are you crazy?" Concubine Shu was shocked, raised her head suddenly, and glared angrily at the man beside her.
The man turned his head to look at Concubine Shu, with deep emotions hidden in his eyes. When he looked at Lu Liangwei again, his face was filled with determination. He kowtowed to her again, "Please, the Queen, please take this into consideration." Concubine Shu has been in the harem for many years. She has no merit but hard work. Don’t blame her. She is willing to shoulder all the blame for her humble position."
Lu Liang looked at him slightly.
Seeing that he was wearing a guard uniform, he guessed that he was a guard.
Moreover, it can be seen that this guard seems to have a deep feeling for Concubine Shu. The two of them must not have just hooked up, and they may have been together for a long time.
He seemed to have a chance to escape just now, but he still turned back because he didn't want Concubine Shu to bear the responsibility alone.
She pursed her lower lip.
Unexpectedly, I would bump into their affair today.
"Did you know that having a secret meeting with a concubine in the harem is a capital crime? What's more, you two have committed scandalous acts and should be executed according to palace regulations."
The last trace of blood on Concubine Shu's face also faded completely.
She took two steps forward and grabbed the hem of Lu Liangwei's skirt. Her eyes were filled with tears. "The Queen, this matter has nothing to do with Zhan Lu. It was me who seduced him. Please be clear to the Queen and don't condemn him." ,I beg you… "
This was the first time Lu Liangwei saw Concubine Shu like this.
Without the publicity and brightness of the past, the whole person was very depressed.
After a pause, she asked: "When did it start?"
Concubine Shu's lips trembled, and after a long while, she whispered: "Last October..."
Lu Liang was slightly surprised.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Shu was so bold and had been interacting with this guard for more than three months.
If she hadn't bumped into her by chance today, how long would the two of them have wanted to keep hiding it.
"You are so bold! Do you think that since the Emperor and I are not in the palace, we have nothing to worry about?" Lu Liang frowned slightly.
Today she and Long Yang came back quietly without disturbing anyone, so Concubine Shu thought that she and Long Yang were not in the palace, so she boldly had a tryst with the guard in the imperial garden.
Concubine Shu did not answer her words, but suddenly smiled sadly, "The emperor doesn't care at all whether there is me in the harem. What is the difference between my existence and that of a palace maid? I guard such a large palace every day, but I never Wait until the Emperor comes. Does the Queen know how many years I have been in the palace?"
Lu Liangwei knew that Concubine Shu entered the palace when she was sixteen years old, and it has been ten years since she turned twenty-six this year.
Concubine Shu laughed, tears falling down her face, "It's been ten years! I used to be ignorant, and was fascinated by the emperor's elegance. I plunged into this palace, thinking I could wait for the emperor's mercy, but day after day I failed. What awaited me was endless loneliness. The Emperor never even looked at me. In order for him to look at me, one winter, I even pretended to fall into the pool. But you know what the Emperor was like at that time. reaction?"
Lu Liangwei didn't speak, just looked at her quietly.
She actually knew how cruel the emperor was to the outside world.
If he didn't like Concubine Shu, why would he care about her
Even the fourth concubine entering the palace was not his intention. To him, the fourth concubine was no different from a palace maid, or even inferior to a palace maid.
At least the palace maids had to work, but the fourth concubine had to be well-dressed and well-fed every day and had others to serve them.
