Raise an emperor as a villain

Chapter 96 Knowing the truth

Although Hong Liao was originally a slave, the slaves in this palace are of different grades. She is the queen's personal maid, so she is naturally the best. Although she is still a slave in name, she is actually more noble than some masters.

Once the queen died, although she managed to save her life, she fell to the bottom and became a low-level maid who washed clothes every day. She had to wash a lot of clothes every day, and they belonged to the maids and eunuchs.A pair of well-maintained slender hands were also soaked in cold water, and the whole person quickly withered away.

The little prince in the East Palace is her only hope. If she can win the pity of the little prince, whether it is to transfer herself to the East Palace or let herself out of the palace is a good way out. How long can I survive.

So Hong Liao went to the East Palace for a walk from time to time with faint hopes, but the servants of the East Palace were very strict. She went several times and did not see the prince once.The last time I met Lu Hengxiu, Hong Liao couldn't hold back and poured cold water on him on the spur of the moment. Looking back afterwards, she was afraid for a long time. Fortunately, Lu Hengxiu didn't care about it, otherwise she might not have survived to this day.

However, what is the difference between living like this and dying?Maybe it's better to be dead.The former empress walked resolutely, and never left a single word to herself. If she hadn't spared her life, she might have been honored to be buried with the former empress when she followed the empress. In this deep palace, there is only one way to go to the mass grave.

Hong Liao was full of hatred and unwillingness, but she had to cry silently in a place where no one was around, until Yingshun found her.

Hong Liao was still very surprised that Yingshun sought her out. Yingshun was a man who worshiped high and low. When she was in front of the queen, Yingshun kept talking about her elder sister. Now that she is down and out, she has never seen her again.This time, I must have something to ask for, but what is there that is worth his coveting?

"Is Manager Yingshun here for something?" Hong Liao asked first. Although she was dressed in plain clothes, her arrogance hadn't been completely wiped away. Meeting old acquaintances inevitably made her heart complicated. Pretend to be strong.

"Hey, how did Hong Liao sister's hands become like this? How dare that scoundrel from the Huanyi Bureau abuse my sister like this? Hurry up and give the snake oil I brought to my sister." Yingshun ordered the little eunuch behind him, with a concerned expression on his face. look.

"Director Yingshun is now a celebrity in front of the emperor, so he must have come to me because he has nothing to do. If you have anything to do, please tell me directly."

"Sister is a sensible person. There is no one else here, so I will speak up." Yingshun waved his hand, and the two little eunuchs who followed him withdrew.

"Sister, do you know who you should blame for falling into this situation?"

"Who is to blame? It's just bad luck. A noble daughter like the empress, the mother of a country, hangs herself on the beam. I, a slave, can be self-sufficient if I can live. Who else dare to blame."

"Sister Hong Liao can take it easy, but it's a pity that the empress was neglected during her lifetime. She couldn't compete with Lu Hengxiu in the harem. I want to save my life, but I never want to avenge her."

"I want to take revenge, but do you think I can kill Lu Hengxiu with a knife? If I can, I will do it even if it costs my life. I'm afraid I will do nothing if I make your knife." Hong Liao looked Out of Yingshun's intention, the eunuch wanted to use himself as a saber to deal with Lu Hengxiu.

"You, I really want to use your strength, but not to use you, but to seek opportunities for cooperation."

"How do you want to cooperate?"

"That's it..." Yingshun explained his plan to Hong Liao in detail, "Although this matter has certain risks, it is by no means so difficult for you to assassinate Lu Hengxiu. Is it more enjoyable than killing him? The Empress Dowager Quan knows, and she will be very pleased to have a loyal servant like you."

Hearing that Hong Liao was shaken at the end, the fire of vengeance was ignited in the originally dead heart, he was just a small person, this humble life was just like a grass under the feet of the nobles, now there is such an opportunity How can I not take good care of myself if I can do my part for the empress.

"I told you the plan, not to force you to do it, but if it works out, I will definitely find a way to transfer my sister out of the clothing bureau. If my sister is afraid and unwilling, then just pretend that Yingshun has never been here before." , anyway..."

"I agree." Hong Liao interrupted him.

"What did you say?" Yingshun stared at Hong Liao with piercing eyes.

"I said I promise you."

"Hahahaha, well, it's a deal, and then..." Yingshun went through the plan in detail, how to implement it and how to get out of it, he was really cautious and strict.

This day, Lu Hengxiu left the East Palace to teach, and when he got out of the East Palace, he noticed that someone was following him sneakily. As a result, when he walked to a remote section of the road, he rushed out and knelt down in front of him.

"Lord Lu, stay here."

"Miss Hong Liao, do you have anything to do with me?"

"Lord Lu, this servant has something to say to you, please take a step to speak."

"This..." Lu Hengxiu showed a troubled look.

"My lord, don't worry, this servant is just a weak woman, and I really just have something to tell my lord."

"Okay, I'll walk with you."

"Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord." Hong Liao kowtowed several times in a row until his forehead turned red before he stood up and led the way.

Hong Liao led Lu Hengxiu all the way to a remote abandoned hall, and after searching left and right, no one spoke.

"Lord Lu, this servant has finally waited for you. Since you became the master servant, you have often gone to the East Palace to try your luck. Although I bumped into you last time, it was hard to say because of the presence of others. Today, this servant finally waited."

Lu Hengxiu was a little surprised when he heard that, "So you didn't go to see the prince?"

"Every time the crown prince comes out, he must call back and forth, how can the servants get close to him." Hong Liao said with a sad look on his face.

"What on earth do you have to say?"

"Slave... I heard that your lord is looking for someone. Although the rumors in the palace are just a few words, I know what you are looking for."

"Huh? It's ridiculous. You're from the empress's side, not from the empress dowager's side. You didn't enter the palace 20 years ago, so what do you know?" Lu Hengxiu only felt that it was ridiculous, and also felt that he came here for no reason. It's so silly.Lu Hengxiu was about to leave, but Hong Liao grabbed him.

"How can your lord be sure that I don't know that the empress dowager passed away ten years ago. Could it be that she couldn't have mentioned it to others during this time?"

"What is the reason for the Empress Dowager to tell you?"

"I didn't tell the slaves, but the former queen." As soon as Hong Liao said this, Lu Hengxiu stopped in his tracks.

"At the time when your lord was favored, the Empress Dowager was dissatisfied, and she went to the Empress Dowager to cry and complained. It was the Empress Dowager who told the Empress Dowager herself that she told the Empress Dowager to bear it, because this is the Emperor and she owes you. I owe you the Lu family."

"Why? Grandmother, the concubine doesn't understand, and the concubine is not reconciled. Even though Lu Hengxiu has the merits of being a dragon, the emperor has given him enough courtesy in the court. Why does he still serve the emperor with sex? The emperor owes him What? Which of the ministers in the court did not learn literary and martial arts, and bought it from the emperor's family. Since the emperor gave him a high-ranking official and generous salary, there is nothing he owes."

"Ah~" The Empress Dowager sighed, and touched the queen's temple hair lying on her knees, "Silly boy, what Aijia said was not that he helped the emperor win the throne, but an old incident more than ten years ago. At that time The British Emperor is in power, and now the Holy One is on the decline. The Ai family intends to find a man from the dragon for him, who will accompany him since he was a child and be loyal to him. And Lu Hengxiu is the one chosen by the Ai family.

Lu Hengxiu was well-known in the capital at that time, and it was impossible for him to accompany a prince who had lost power, so Aijia planned that the Lu family's house would be confiscated and let him enter the palace as a slave. Time to save him.Only in this way can a person be completely obeyed, and mourning the family is also a helpless move.

Later, he did not disappoint the Ai family, and accompanied the emperor to leave Suzhou, and worked hard through life and death, and finally assisted the emperor to ascend to the ninety-five position.Aijia also beat him with words, but he insisted on going his own way, Aijia felt ashamed, so he didn't care too much.

After all, he is just a man, and it is you who can give birth to the emperor's son in the end.Since ancient times, in the Sixth Court of the Three Palaces of the Emperor, it is better for a man to control his heart than for a demon concubine to confuse him and come to fight with you everywhere, you should look away..."

"What about the emperor? Did the emperor want to compensate him because he knew about his sacrifice?"

"It's natural, otherwise, do you think the emperor would really love a man who is older than him and has an ordinary appearance?"

"The Empress suddenly heard such a shocking secret, she was so shocked that she didn't know how to react, and she didn't recover until she returned to the bedroom. That night, the Empress drank a lot of wine and unwittingly revealed the truth to her slaves." Hong Liao described the past scenes. Described, every sentence is like a knife scratching Lu Hengxiu's heart.

But no matter how painful his heart was, Lu Hengxiu could only pretend nothing had happened, he couldn't show his timidity in front of a court lady.

"Then why did you choose to tell me now?"

"The slave girl is now in the clothing bureau, and life is worse than death, so I heard that the adults are asking about these past events, so I want to use this to exchange for a little sympathy, and ask the adults to help me leave the clothing bureau."

"Is that all?"

"Since your lord has lived in the palace, you must be able to imagine how difficult the life of a servant is. This time when you come to find your lord, this servant has already made up his mind to become a benevolent person if you fail. If your lord does not agree to help, it is better for a servant to hit you head-on. Die here, so you don't have to go back and suffer." Hong Liao was about to bump into a pillar, but Lu Hengxiu stopped her.

"Living is not easy. If you have solved my doubts, I will promise to help you. You go back to the Clothes Bureau first, and I will ask the emperor to send you out of the palace in two days." After saying that, Lu Hengxiu turned and left.

Hong Liao, who was still in the ruined hall, saw the people walking away, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth that the plan had succeeded.

After leaving the abandoned hall, Lu Hengxiu walked in a daze, not knowing where he was going, the sky gradually became gloomy, and the wind and rain were coming in the late autumn evening, but it was not as good as Lu Hengxiu's thoughts.

The sincerity when I was young has gone through the ravages of time, how much is left now, or whether there was any sincerity at the beginning.Lu Hengxiu didn't dare to think about these questions, but he tried his best to avoid them, but someone brought the truth to him, as if everyone knew something, but he was kept in the dark.The more I see and hear, the more I doubt it.

After carefully verifying the truth, Lu Hengxiu couldn't believe it, and even began to regret, if he didn't dwell on the past, would he not have to suffer so much now.
