Harem Changwu Biography

Chapter 128 But, Empress, Is It Worth It?
The result of Chang Ruo’s rioting in Yanfu Palace was exactly as I expected. Du Juan was indeed killed, and Chang Ruo was imprisoned. Jieyu of the third rank.

"Hmph, Qiu Jieyu thought she could run rampant in the palace, but she was punished by the emperor in the end."

When Ayun told me about this matter, he was relieved. It seems that he was also dissatisfied with Chang Ruo a lot these days after entering the palace.

I listened to Ayun's words and smiled. I was happy that Mingqi would punish Changruo for offending Changruo to me, because it showed that Mingqi still had me in his heart, and he still couldn't tolerate others offending me. In Mingqi's heart, Long Ruo is still not as good as me.

It's just that when I think that although Mingqi has me in his heart, but he knows I'm in the palace, but he refuses to come to see me anyway, the joy in my heart dissipates immediately, leaving only a piece of peace.

And this tranquility, after hearing Ming Qi calling Li Wan and Qi Xiayun to sleep in the next two days, it became even more seamless.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Liangyuan is asking to see you."

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, shortly after dark, when I was lying on the soft couch in the hall reading a book as usual, Ayun came to tell me that Zhang Shuyue wanted to see me.

Because Zhang Shuyue was familiar with me in Chuxiu Palace before, when I first moved into Yanfu Palace, that is, the day before yesterday, she came to see me once, and the purpose at that time was to congratulate me.

However, because of her status, she rarely left Chuxiu Palace in the past, so I was a little surprised that she wanted to see me again just two days later.

"Do you know why she came to see me?" So when Ah Yun told me that Zhang Shuyue wanted to see me outside, I couldn't help asking.

"Returning to the empress, Zhang Liangyuan didn't say anything, and the slaves don't know. But judging from the expression on Zhang Liangyuan's face, it seems that something urgent happened." Ayun replied.

"In that case, let her come in." I nodded and said, thinking that it would be the same to ask Zhang Shuyue myself after Zhang Shuyue came in.

"promise."

Zhang Shuyue was quickly brought in by Ayun, and as Ayun said, when Zhang Shuyue came in, the anxious expression on her face could be clearly seen.

"Qingqing help me!"

As soon as Zhang Shuyue entered my main room, she grabbed my hand without even saying hello, her face was anxious, and her eyes were full of mist because of anxiety.

I frowned at Zhang Shuyue's appearance, then gave Ayun a wink, and after Ayun took the other people out of the main room after my wink and closed the door, I helped Zhang Shuyue in the room Sit down on a chair.

"What happened?" After helping Zhang Shuyue to sit down, I asked her.

"Qingqing, I just received the imperial decree. The emperor told me to sleep with me tonight." Zhang Shuyue answered after my words, and without waiting for me to speak, she held my hand tightly again and asked me for help. Said: "Qingqing, please help me, I don't want to serve the bed, I want to go out of the palace, if I go to bed tonight, I won't be able to leave the palace in the future."

But when I heard Zhang Shuyue's words, I frowned: I didn't expect that if Mingqi was announced as the leader, Li Wan and the others would not count as bed attendants, but now even Zhang Shuyue was announced.

"Qingqing?" Maybe Zhang Shuyue misunderstood my frowning, and misunderstood that I was unwilling to help her, so when my brows were just furrowed, Zhang Shuyue called me sadly.

"Qingqing, I know this matter makes you very embarrassed, but Qingqing, I really, really don't know who to turn to for help except you. I really have no choice." Zhang Shuyue said to me sadly , and shed tears while talking.

"Qingqing, please help me, please? Qingqing, as long as you help me this time, I will definitely repay you in the future." Zhang Shuyue cried and continued to ask me for help, and broke away from me after speaking. hands, to kneel down to me.

I would not let Zhang Shuyue kneel to me, so when Zhang Shuyue knelt halfway, I stopped her and pulled her up, and at the same time, my eyebrows were wrinkled deeper than before.

"Are you sure? In the past, you wanted to leave the palace because the emperor didn't favor you, and you felt that there was no hope in the palace. But now that the emperor is willing to invite you to sleep in the palace, it will be possible in the future. So, do you still want to leave the palace?" I asked. He frowned and asked Zhang Shuyue.

Although I promised to help Zhang Shuyue get out of the palace before, the premise of the promise is that I can make the decision, and the current situation obviously hasn't reached the time when I can make the decision.

Furthermore, I thought that Zhang Shuyue would leave the palace before because she felt hopeless to be favored by Mingqi.

And now, seeing that she can be favored by Mingqi, I don't believe she will be willing to give up.

After all, if she can become Mingqi's woman, it will be of great benefit to her personally and to their Zhang family.

Zhang Shuyue once hesitated after my words, but that hesitation was only for a moment. After a moment, Zhang Shuyue looked at me firmly.

"I'm sure, Qingqing, I'm sure I would rather go out of the palace and be an ordinary wife than a concubine in the palace." Zhang Shuyue looked at me firmly and said.

"And to be honest with Qingqing, I didn't want to enter the palace at the beginning. It was my mother, the wife my father later married, who said that I could help my Zhang family by entering the palace, so my father sent me into the palace. Qingqing, I I have never been willing to enter the palace, let alone be the emperor's woman." Zhang Shuyue said again.

"You let me think about it." I said after Zhang Shuyue said.

In fact, I don't want to get involved in the matter of Mingqi anymore, especially after I made up my mind two days ago to gradually forget about Mingqi.

It's just that although I have made up my mind, when I see Mingqi pampering other women one after another, I still feel a little sad in my heart.

And now, I can't control other women, but now that Zhang Shuyue has begged me, even if I don't consider the fact that I promised to help her get out of the palace, even if I can feel less sad for myself, I still have to be careful. Consider whether to help Zhang Shuyue or not.

In the end, even if I decide to give up on Mingqi, I still can't see that there will be more women around Mingqi, at least, I can't do it now.

"Okay, okay, Qingqing thank you, thank you very much." Zhang Shuyue thanked me as soon as she heard my words, as if I had already promised her.

Looking at Zhang Shuyue like this, I shook my head silently in my heart.

Although I was [-]% sure in my heart that I would agree to help Zhang Shuyue, I hadn't thought of how to help.After all, Mingqi is the emperor, so if he wants to pamper his concubines in the harem, how can others stop him casually?

And even if Mingqi can be stopped, but now I am not the Empress Dowager Qiu Changwu, but the concubine Meng Qingqing, what position can I use to stop Mingqi?

So Zhang Shuyue actually gave me a problem.And it is a problem that I know is a problem, but I will still help her.

"You go back first, I will tell you when I think of a solution." I shook my head silently in my heart, but on the surface I said to Zhang Shuyue with a calm face.

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll go back and wait for Qingqing now. Qingqing, thank you, thank you very much." After hearing my words, Zhang Shuyue gave her thanks again, and only after she thanked me did she leave in peace. go.

And when I saw Zhang Shuyue leaving in peace, I shook my head silently, and then I thought about how to help Zhang Shuyue.

After Zhang Shuyue left, Ayun came back, but she didn't bother me after seeing me sitting silently on the main seat, she just stood behind me silently.

"Ayun, go and find out, will the emperor send a car to Chuxiu Palace to pick up Zhang Liangyuan today? Or will he go to Zhang Liangyuan in Chuxiu Palace by himself?" After thinking for a while, I suddenly asked Ayun.

I thought that although Chang Ruo and I were both favored by Mingqi in the Chengming Palace before, but later Li Wan and Qi Xiayun were favored by Mingqi in their respective palaces, so I was thinking about how to help Before Zhang Shuyue, it is best to inquire about this point.

Ayun just kept guarding outside the door when Zhang Shuyue came, so she didn't know why Zhang Shuyue was looking for me, so she was taken aback after hearing what I said, and then answered me after she regained her senses.

"No." After Ayun answered, he left Yanfu Palace.

Ayun came back shortly after going out, and the result of her inquiry was that Mingqi would go to Chuxiu Palace.

And after hearing Ayun's words, I was relieved a lot. After all, it was easier to stop Mingqi in Chuxiu Palace than in Chengming Palace.

"Do you know how long the emperor will go to Chuxiu Palace?" After hearing the result of Ayun's remittance, I asked Ayun again.

"I don't know the details, but judging from the time when the emperor went to Changchun Palace and Yongshou Palace two nights ago, it will probably pass around Haishi." Ayun replied after I asked.

"I know." I nodded my head.

"How does your empress plan to help Zhang Liangyuan?" Ayun asked after I nodded.

When Zhang Shuyue told me that she wanted to leave the palace in the future, Ayun was by my side at that time.So after hearing what I asked her to inquire about now, she can naturally guess that Zhang Shuyue wants to ask me for help.

"There is no other way, go directly to the gate of Chuxiu Palace and stop it." I said.

At this time, it was too late to find Meng Qingcheng to find a way to use emergency political affairs to keep Mingqi in Chengming Palace, and although this reason could prevent Mingqi from going to Chuxiu Palace to spoil Zhang Shuyue tonight, but what about tomorrow night?What about later?

I know Mingqi's temperament better than anyone else, and I know that what he wants to do will not be easily changed. This is the case in political affairs, and it should be the same in the matter of him calling Zhang Shuyue to bed.

As for pretending to be ill to lure Mingqi to my place, it is even more impossible, Mingqi would never come to my place.

It is even more meaningless to make other concubines sick to stop Mingqi. I don't want to see Mingqi doting on Zhang Shuyue, and naturally I don't want to personally push Mingqi into the wombs of Li Wan and other concubines.

After much deliberation, there is only the most stupid way, I will personally go to Chuxiu Palace to stop Mingqi.

"But, ma'am, is it worth it?" Ayun asked after hearing what I said.

Although she didn't explain what it was worth, I knew that she was asking me, is Zhang Shuyue worthy of me helping her like this?

So I smiled after hearing what Ayun said, and said: "It's not worth it." I tried to be nice to Zhang Shuyue, but Zhang Shuyue has nothing to do with me in the end, so she is naturally not worth it for me to be with Ming for her. Chess match.

"If that's the case, why does your lady help Zhang Liangyuan?" Ayun asked me again after I finished speaking.

I laughed again when I heard the words, and then looked up at the courtyard outside Yanfu Palace. My eyes passed through the night outside, and I didn't know where I saw it. I only knew that my eyes never settled in the night.

"I'm not helping her, I'm doing this just to make my heart less sad." I smiled and said softly, my eyes still had nowhere to fall in the night.
