Reborn as a Sickly Child: The Emperor's Beloved
Chapter 158 Leaving the Palace 1
Upon hearing this, Helian Fu looked at him with disdain, calling him a useless thing.
"No one can stop me from doing what I want to do. I don't care what happens to you in Xiliang. You'd better mind your own business, otherwise my 100,000 cavalrymen can turn against you at any time!"
Helian Fu looked at him coldly, what a waste he was, yet he dared to threaten him.
Murong Yi was furious when he heard this but could do nothing about it.
The Northern Di Iron Cavalry fought on the battlefield in the guise of the Western Liang Army. Helian Fu never revealed his identity from beginning to end. Even if the other side knew it was him, they could do nothing about it.
He can now get away with ease.
The Imperial Palace in Beijing.
In Yaoguang Pavilion, Lin Rongyue looked at Xu Xiaolan in front of her with a calm expression.
What did she come to see me for?
"You are not surprised at all that I'm still alive!" Xu Xiaolan drank her tea calmly, looking at the woman with a calm expression. None of the women in this deep palace are simple.
In the past, Concubine Rong had almost no presence. Who would have thought that she had such big ambitions!
"It seems that Concubine Lan is not here to have tea with me today!" Lin Rongyue looked calm, but she was a little scared in her heart.
Could it be that His Majesty knows that I am investigating Shen Yanyan!
"I saw the Queen when I went to visit His Majesty that day, so I wasn't too surprised!"
Lin Rongyue took a sip of the cold tea, lowered her eyes, and thought about why she came.
"I won't beat around the bush with you. I know what you are looking for, and I know the answer you want!" Xu Xiaolan put down the teacup in her hand, took out the note from her arms and pushed it in front of her.
She had paid too much to be back before His Majesty, and she would not allow such an opportunity to pass by in a flash.
As one of the secret guards, her duty was to monitor the movements of the concubines in the harem when the emperor was unconscious. Xu Xiaolan's behavior naturally did not escape her eyes.
Yuan Hanshuang frequently takes care of Xiyuexuan, and casually stirs up the concubines' dissatisfaction with the head maid in Yaohua Palace. All this seems reasonable, but in this situation, she can naturally have the power to be in charge without arousing suspicion. Originally, she should have reported this matter directly to Wu Qingfeng, but who asked her to investigate Shen Yanyan!
Unexpectedly, this seemingly well-behaved and innocent Lin Rongyue actually hides such a wolfish ambition in her heart. It's just right that she can use her hand to eliminate the person she can't touch.
When Lin Rongyue saw the contents on the paper, there was obvious joy in her eyes.
It turns out that this is her fatal weakness. It's really not easy. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be able to find it out no matter how hard I tried.
Your Majesty really cares about Shen Yanyan and has hidden her secret so well.
"I'm a little curious, why did you choose to give me this news, to kill someone with a borrowed knife, and then wait for the mantis to stalk the cicada while the oriole is behind?" Lin Rongyue looked at Xu Xiaolan with a smile, but the expression in her eyes was no longer as calm as before, and her eyes were full of deep calculations.
He wanted to use her to get rid of Shen Yanyan, and then push himself out, so that he could clear Xu Xiaolan!
As far as she knew, Shen Yanyan and Xu Xiaolan had no connection or enmity. There was only one reason why Xu Xiaolan did this, just like herself, for His Majesty. Could someone like her tolerate herself?
Xu Xiaolan chuckled softly, and a sickly expression suddenly appeared on her overly delicate face.
"Let's be frank. I have been with His Majesty for many years and I know what kind of person he is. Even if she dies, His Majesty's feelings for her will not disappear. But I don't care. As long as I can be with him, it's fine. But with her, this will never be possible. As the Son of Heaven, His Majesty will not leave his harem empty even for the sake of the country. This way, you and I still have a chance, right?"
Lin Rongyue laughed and looked at her, feeling that they had similar interests.
That’s right, Your Majesty is the emperor, he can have countless concubines, but he cannot have just one.
Shen Yanyan's biggest mistake was that she wanted to monopolize His Majesty and didn't even give them a little space to survive by His Majesty's side. If His Majesty didn't have someone he loved, how would he care who was by his side!
He is the emperor, there is no way he would give up being the emperor just for Shen Yanyan.
Even for the sake of the people of the world, he would not give up the throne.
"I didn't know that the Queen is such an interesting person. Let's have a pleasant cooperation. Don't worry, she won't have the chance to leave the Western Territory!" Lin Rongyue looked at Xu Xiaolan with a smile on her face, but her eyes were full of malice.
Shen Yanyan, I finally found your fatal weakness.
Three days later, Lin Rongyue brought Yuan'er and headed towards Xiyuexuan with a lot of bags.
When the guard saw that it was Concubine Rong, he respectfully opened the door.
Now that the Empress is not in the palace, all matters in the harem are decided by Concubine Rong, so naturally they have to be more diligent.
Looking at the empty Xiyuexuan, a smile flashed across Lin Rongyue's eyes.
It was Yuan Hanshuang who suggested that she dismiss all the palace servants in Xiyuexuan and live alone in Xiyuexuan.
Now, the time is ripe, and her already sharp knife is only missing the last step: sharpening the blade.
Yuan Hanshuang walked to her yard with familiarity. It was the coldest time of winter, but Yuan Hanshuang didn't feel the cold, so she sat on the stone table in front of the yard, staring blankly at the yard.
"Hanshuang! Why are you sitting in the yard on such a cold day?" Lin Rongyue's tone was as gentle as ever.
When Yuan Hanshuang heard the voice, she stood up and looked at Lin Rongyue in surprise.
The two guards outside Xiyuexuan are really talkative, and they talk about everything that happens in the palace every day.
She knew everything about the palace rebellion, the bitch Shen Yanyan leading the troops to the western border, and Rongyue's current status in the palace.
Seeing her, I wonder if I will have a chance to go out this time.
She was almost going crazy because she didn't even have anyone to talk to in Xiyuexuan every day.
"Rongyue, now you are here, is there any way this time?" Yuan Hanshuang was very excited.
Lin Rongyue signaled Yuan'er to put the things in the bag into her bedroom.
"Let's go inside and talk!" Lin Rongyue pulled him towards the door.
"Guard outside the door!" Lin Rongyue signaled Yuan'er to close the door and guard outside.
The room was filled with top-grade silver carbon. Although there was no one in Xiyue Pavilion, Lin Rongyue sent people to deliver some winter necessities to Xiyue Pavilion every day. Therefore, even though there were no palace servants in Xiyue Pavilion, Yuan Hanshuang still lived a good life.
"You've heard about the Empress leaving the palace, right? When the Empress returns victorious, I will find a way to take you out of Xiyuexuan. The Empress is kind-hearted and will not hold a grudge against you for the past! His Majesty also dotes on the Empress, and I heard that he wants to disband the harem. When the time comes, if you beg the Empress, she will definitely agree to let you out of the palace. His Majesty dotes on the Empress so much, and you are his cousin, so he will definitely send you out of the palace. Then we can live the life we want, and we don't have to be confined to this deep palace and have no freedom." Lin Rongyue moved closer to Yuan Hanshuang and spoke softly in a voice that both of them could hear.
When Yuan Hanshuang heard this, not only did she not look happy, but the hatred in her eyes was even stronger.
"Why does she, this bitch, deserve my cousin to fire her..." Lin Rongyue quickly stepped forward and covered her mouth, fearing that she would shout and alarm the people outside.
"Han Shuang, keep your voice down. You don't know, but His Majesty has never touched the concubines. He truly loves the Queen, so he wants to disband the harem. If the Queen leads the army to the western border and returns with a great victory, those people in the court will not be able to suppress His Majesty's idea of disbanding the harem. Those generals, a large part of the court officials, and the Shen family will definitely support the Queen. This matter is already a foregone conclusion. It would be best if we can leave the palace safely!"
Lin Rongyue looked at Yuan Hanshuang's eyes which were getting redder and redder, her heart filled with smiles.
Continue to add fuel to the fire.
"His Majesty's favor for the Empress is really beyond words. Just because there is a medicine in the palace that is fatal to the Empress's body, His Majesty ordered the destruction of all the sleeping grass in the palace without saying a word. It's such a precious medicinal material, and he destroyed it at will. So we don't have any other thoughts and just wait quietly to leave the palace," Lin Rongyue's voice had just fallen. Yuan Hanshuang, who had been struggling, suddenly calmed down, and suddenly smiled when he saw Lin Rongyue's gentle face.
Yuan Hanshuang suddenly struggled to break away from Lin Rongyue, looked at her, and began to sneer with a mocking expression on her face.
Today, she finally understood that she was really stupid beyond words. Why didn't she realize that Lin Rongyue was such a person before!
"Hanshuang, what's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that?" Lin Rongyue still asked her in a gentle tone.
"Lin Rongyue, is it interesting? You are really good at pretending! What, haven't you pretended enough after so many years?" Yuan Hanshuang looked at her sarcastically.
When Lin Rongyue heard this, the gentleness on her face froze. After a while, she looked at her with a pitiful and mocking look: "I wanted to pretend, but I didn't expect that a fool like you would become smart one day. You made yourself so stupid, so you can't blame me."
"Now, she is about to become the queen of a country with great power. You, on the other hand, are just a waste waiting to die in the cold palace. You don't think that Shen Yanyan will let you go after she comes back. Based on my understanding of her, she is not that kind. It would be too easy for her to strangle you to death when she is a bloodthirsty killer on the battlefield. She keeps you just to humiliate you. The once high and mighty Miss Yuan is now at the mercy of others! Haha!" Lin Rongyue laughed heartily, looking at her like a dead dog.
"Also, I heard that your mother had a big fight with the Marquis because of your imprisonment. Your Aunt Liu and the Marquis were so angry that she almost died!"
"Oh, Shen Yanyan has contributed a lot. Your brother was beaten half to death by His Majesty for teasing her. The only relative in your family who cares about your life or death is dying because of her! I haven't told you these things!" Lin Rongyue looked at the eyes that were red with hatred, her face full of smiles.
After a while, Yuan Hanshuang suddenly smiled, "Are you here today to tell me all this?"
"How could that be? These things in your family have nothing to do with me. I didn't tell you in the past because I was afraid you would act impulsively."
"But now, Shen Yanyan's vital point has been found. Don't you want to seek justice for yourself and your family?" Lin Rongyue suppressed the smile on her face and said to her calmly.
When Yuan Hanshuang heard this, her eyes moved slightly.
"You told me again and again that the bitch Shen Yanyan was doing this just for today, didn't you? If I kill her, what can you give me?" Yuan Hanshuang stared at her.
"Hmph, you hate the Shen family, the Empress Dowager, Marquis Shen, and Aunt Liu's family. If you kill her, the entire Shen family will be beheaded. I will transfer your mother and brother out of the capital in advance and save their lives. How about using your life to exchange the lives of two of your closest relatives? Is it worth it?" Lin Rongyue has been following her since she was a child, so she naturally knows where her weaknesses are. Her mother and brother are her only weaknesses.
"You have planned this long ago, right? And it's for His Majesty?" Yuan Hanshuang only now realized how she could be so stupid. She ruined herself for something illusory and also implicated her mother and brother.
"Don't worry about why, whether you agree or not. If Shen Yanyan comes back, no one in your family will be able to escape, especially your brother and your mother. You treat her like this, you must be familiar with her methods. Who do you think poisoned you? It's not that she doesn't want to kill you, it's just that the time has not come yet. Why should you die yourself and take your mother and brother with you?" Lin Rongyue sat on the stool, drinking the fruit wine she brought, in no hurry.
After a while, Yuan Hanshuang said, "How can I believe that you can get them out safely!"
Lin Rongyue curled the corners of her mouth slightly: "Your brother and mother are now in the Marquis' Mansion, and no one will care if they die. Tonight, I will send someone to make them fake their death and take them out of the city. Three days later, you will commit suicide because you heard the bad news outside the palace and it was difficult to survive in the cold palace. You can see them before going to the Western Territory. After the news of Shen Yanyan's death comes, I will send someone to send them to Beidi. From then on, they will be free, and they will not know who saved them, so there is no need for me to kill them to silence them. You and I grew up together. You died for my plan, and I will protect your mother and brother for you. I can swear on this matter in the name of my family. If I kill them privately, our family will not die well!" Lin Rongyue swore to the sky with a solemn expression. They grew up together, so naturally they all knew what both sides cared about most.
Lin Rongyue is very devout in her beliefs. The fact that she can make such a solemn oath shows that she really will not do anything to her mother. She just wants to use herself to get rid of Shen Yanyan.
"Okay, I promise you, I will go to the Western Border in three days!" Yuan Hanshuang's eyes were dim. She had no choice. Her fate was determined from the moment she entered the palace.
Now it is worth it to exchange my life for the lives of my loved ones.
No matter how bad or unruly she was, her brother and mother always stood behind her. When she was young, she didn't understand why her mother didn't like her going to the palace all the time, and she was scolded a lot by her aunt and father. Her mother loved power, but she knew that this road was not so easy to walk, so she was unwilling to enter the palace no matter how much she liked it.
Only now did she realize that she had given her daughter everything she had.
It's a pity that she blamed herself for being stupid, so stupid that she hurt the person she loved.
