On the surface he nodded, but in his heart he was unconvinced.
Mrs. Yu was just a merchant girl. If she hadn't relied on the prince's favor, how could she dare to be so presumptuous in front of the Qiu family daughter.
Even she, a female official in the palace, couldn't compare.
Coming from a small family, in terms of rules and scheming, the Yu family relied on the method of obsessed with men in the back house to make a living.
But the Empress seemed to be saying that she was stupid and not as smart as the Yu family, so it was shameful for her to want to be the prince's wife.
Thinking of this, Yu Mo couldn't help but clenched his hands.
Empress Zhou looked at her changing eyes and couldn't help but snorted coldly and said, "Yu Mo, are you unconvinced?"
"Nu...Nu didn't..." Yu Mo was surprised and looked a little flustered.
Empress Zhou was still leaning on the chair, her charming phoenix eyes slowly looking over Yu Mo's body, from her figure to her face.
I have to say, this girl Yu Mo is very beautiful.
Even compared to a beauty like Yu Qingwu, she is not inferior in the slightest.
That day, she picked Yu Mo out of several aristocratic girls from South Vietnam because of her appearance. Unfortunately, although Yu Mo was beautiful, she was really stupid.
Not to mention being a princess, even being a concubine, she would not tolerate such a woman around her son.
If it weren't for that person, there would be no way this idiot would be allowed to dominate the palace.
Her eyes kept looking at Yu Mo, and Queen Zhou's eyes became colder and colder, as if she hadn't heard Yu Mo's answer, and warned, "Yu Mo, I don't care what thoughts you have in mind, I only say one sentence
, if something happens and you suffer it yourself, even if your uncle comes to plead for mercy, I will not favor you at all, let alone protect you."
"Don't worry, Madam, I will do my duty well." Yu Mo lowered his head, his voice was gentle, but the dissatisfaction in his eyes was a little deeper.
Empress Zhou ignored her and waved her hand to call her in to boil water for a bath.
…
East Palace, inside the Nuan Pavilion.
With the mist lingering, Yu Qingwu stepped out of the bathtub and put on clean underwear.
Just as he was about to take a rest, the voice of a maid came from outside, saying that the servant Yu was coming with a reward from Emperor Wei Jing.
Qingwu just lay down on the bed, got up and put on his outer robe, then walked to the front hall and knelt down to thank Emperor Wei Jing for his gift.
Under the bright yellow light, pieces of jewelry and furnishings were moved in by the palace officials.
Yu Qi stood in the hall, directing them to carry them, and then walked up to Yu Qingwu. He gave her a salute first, and then called her, "Yu Liangdi, come here. In addition to your majesty's reward, I still have something to do with Qinghe Yang in Shu."
I want to ask you about Cheng Yi's case. Is Yu Liangdi available now?"
He looked at her messy hair and asked politely.
Hearing this, Yu Qingwu nodded, sent all the palace people out of the room, leaned down and sat on the chair, pointed to the stool beside him, and called Yu Qida with a smile, "Watcher Yu, sit down and talk."
For some reason, Qing Wu always felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy in his heart when facing this young chamberlain.
She had felt this way before talking to Yu Qi, and now that she was face to face with him alone, the feeling was even stronger.
In comparison, Yu Qi seemed very businesslike.
He still stood there, waved his hand, and said politely, "No need, there is no reason for a slave to sit down and talk to his master."
"Slave, just stand and say it."
He pursed his lips, with gentleness written on his soft and handsome face. He took a deep look at Qing Wu and asked, "Yu Liangdi, I want to ask you, how did you kill Yang Cheng that day?"
"I am..." Yu Qingwu moved his lips, and his eyes, which had been calm just now, suddenly shrank, and a trace of fear flashed in his pupils.
The clear eyes were also filled with scarlet red, and even the knuckles couldn't help but tighten.
Seeing her expression, Yu Qi couldn't help but feel her heart twitch and feel a dull pain.
But soon, he suppressed his heartache and said seriously, "Yu Liangdi, this matter is related to your life. You have to tell the truth to me. If Yang Cheng had harmed you first, you would have suffered a greater loss.
It's possible to save one's life."
"Even if you don't want to think about the past, please try your best to explain clearly the causes and consequences."
Yu Qi paused and added another sentence.
Qingwu lowered his head, his lips turned white, and his body trembled a little.
She closed her eyes for a long time before whispering, "Actually, there is one thing that Wang and his daughter said right. That Yang Cheng did have evil intentions towards me."
"He took advantage of the Shen family and the Qiu family and planned to kill me. Later... he said that his wife died and he hadn't... tasted the taste of a woman for several years..."
"He wants me to be his child bride..."
"Of course I refused to agree, so he beat me every day and didn't give me food. One night, he suddenly tied me up... I was very scared at the time, but I knew I couldn't give in like this. So.
I told him that I was still young and he had no taste. He thought I was right and let him go. Later, I took advantage of the weather and took advantage of the thunderstorm to lead him to the forest with the help of hunters.
The trap was going to kill him. I was afraid that he was faking his death, so I later stabbed him with more than a dozen stab wounds..."
"Then, countless snakes were attracted to devour his body, and after a night of storm, I thought this secret would be buried underground forever, but I didn't expect..."
Yu Qingwu's tone was calm, as if he was telling someone else's story.
But even so, Yu Qi still saw fear and shadow in her eyes.
He clenched his palms tightly, his eyes gleaming with daggers, and it took him a while to suppress the anger in his belly. He looked at Qing Wu gently, nodded and said, "I understand."
After saying this, Yu Qi was about to leave.
"Servant Yu, please don't tell His Highness about this." He had just taken two steps when he heard Yu Qingwu's pleading voice coming from behind.
He froze on his feet, turned around, and saw tears on her pale face, and said sadly, "I only told Your Highness that Yang Cheng wanted to kill me, but I took his life instead. I don't have the courage."
Tell him..."
"Yu Liangdi, this is not your fault." Yu Qi interrupted her. Looking at Qingwu's helpless look, he finally couldn't hold it back and asked, "Liangdi, His Royal Highness...how are you treating me?"
?”
"Ah?" Yu Qingwu was stunned by Yu Qi's sudden question.
But perhaps because of the intimacy in him, she still nodded and said seriously, "Now, it's pretty good."
?
Hearing this, Yu Qi frowned and asked again, "What do you mean it's good now? Did His Highness treat Liangdi badly in the past?"
As Yu Qi spoke, the fists behind his back slowly tightened, and his eyes became sharp, and he said, "I heard that Liangdi and His Highness are junior fellow apprentices, and His Highness has always respected his teachers and his sect.
Well behaved, how could he treat Liangdi badly in the past?"
