Chapter 256: It took two lives, but one life was the price
Yan Chen had something to deal with, so he said a few words to Ye Wanwan and left. Zhao Zhuo went to the palace and knelt down to observe mourning. Concubine Li did not go in immediately, but walked towards Ye Wanwan.
Unlike Ye Wanwan, Concubine Li wore linen clothes and put on mourning for Zhao Yi. Her plain white dress subdued her beauty, making her look more solemn. She really looked like she was going to be the Queen Mother.
"Wanwan."
Ye Wanwan turned her head and nodded slightly in agreement.
Concubine Li walked to Ye Wanwan's side and asked, "What are you looking at here?"
Ye Wanwan: "Of course I want to see the Emperor. The funeral will be held in a few days. If I don't see it, I will never have the chance in this life."
She has waited for so many years to see the scenery today, why don't she take a closer look?
However, Concubine Li thought that Ye Wanwan was reluctant to give up, and looked sad: "Yes, in this life... I will never have a chance. The Emperor is still so young, but... he has suffered for us sisters in this palace."
She pretended to wipe the corners of her eyes and reached out to hold Ye Wanwan's hand: "We sisters have supported each other in the past, and we will also take care of each other in the future. I will remember Wanwan's kindness to me in the past, and I will be filial to Zhuo'er when he ascends the throne."
your."
Why are these words so hypocritical? There is also such a hint of proud showing off.
Ye Wanwan glanced at her and understood that Zhao Zhuo was about to become the emperor. Concubine Li suddenly turned from the worst cannon fodder to the big winner. She was a little emotional and found it difficult to calm down for a while. It was not surprising that she could restrain herself. It was such a big day.
It's a happy event, it's abnormal to be unhappy.
Zhao Zhuo wanted to ascend the throne. Ye Wanwan did not refute her, but she was filial and she didn't need other people's sons to be filial.
He took his hand out of Concubine Li's and said, "Let's talk about these things later. You'd better go and watch the emperor's funeral. I'm waiting for you to preside over it."
Concubine Li did not refuse at all, pretending to restrain her emotions, and said with a bit of deliberate helplessness: "Hey, who made me older? The Queen Mother is in poor health, so I can only take care of it."
Ye Wanwan: "That really made you tired."
Why do you seem to enjoy it?
Li Fei was also carried away by the joy and could not hear the sarcasm. She was quite proud: "That's right. By the way, let's go in together."
Ye Wanwan shook her head: "He has already decreed that I should be deposed. How can a commoner be qualified to guard the emperor's grave? You go ahead and I'll just take a look here."
After hearing this, Concubine Li felt infinite sympathy and reached out to pat Ye Wanwan's hand: "Everything will be fine, don't worry."
Ye Wanwan: "..."
I don't really like Li Fei's seemingly gentle, but actually condescending attitude of comfort. When has it been her turn to sympathize?
She was afraid that she didn't know how Zhao Zhuo got the throne. She started to stage the show even before Zhao Zhuo ascended the throne. Wasn't she afraid that the position of Queen Mother would be lost in front of her?
Li Fei walked in very dignified and continued to guard Zhao Yi's body. Zhao Yi's crime, what he did, and how he died were all unimportant to her now. In the past, she had feelings for Zhao Yi, but as time passed,
As there were more and more concubines in the harem, this feeling faded away. She was a little sad and emotional about Zhao Yi's death, but the few feelings she had were washed away by the joy of having her son become the emperor, and nothing was left.
Although she was not sad, she had to take the lead in weeping, and she was more sincere than anyone else, because her son was about to become the emperor, and she was the most qualified to go.
Logically speaking, it was not bad, and others wanted to give her some face because of it, but in Ye Wanwan's case, it seemed a bit artificial.
"It's you, right?"
Ye Wanwan had just walked to the gate of Guanju Palace when Jiang Feixue suddenly appeared in front of Ye Wanwan, dressed in plain clothes, with her head lowered, her hair disheveled, and full of dejection, startling Ye Wanwan.
Her face was pale, her eyes were red, and she stared at Ye Wanwan: "You killed the emperor, right? It must be you."
Ye Wanwan looked at her expressionlessly: "Did you go crazy due to stimulation?"
Jiang Feixue gritted her teeth fiercely, as if she regarded Ye Wanwan as his enemy, but the next moment she burst into tears: "Ugh, the emperor has passed away, what should I do?"
She cried and walked towards Ye Wanwan: "Cousin, I'm only eighteen years old, how will I live in the future?"
Although she is young, from now on, she seems to be able to see herself dying in the palace.
It would be best if she could die of old age. She has no children by her side. If the new emperor attacks the Ye family, she doesn't know where she will be sent.
Ye Wanwan still has the support of the Ye family, but now she is alone and cannot rely on anyone.
Don't talk about the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother can't protect herself now, and the Ye family will not protect her. She has offended Ye Wanwan, and it's okay if Ye Wanwan doesn't kill her.
At this critical moment, Jiang Feixue was quite self-aware.
Ye Wanwan: "I am also a commoner now. What's the use of crying to me? Go to the Queen Mother. While the Queen Mother can still speak, it is not her decision to keep you or send you out of the palace."
Jiang Feixue looked at Ye Wanwan. If the Queen Mother could take the blame, why would she come to Ye Wanwan at all?
"Cousin, no matter what grievances we had before are over, we are a family after all, so please help me!"
Is it all over? She tried to kill her several times and just let it go?
"It's not that I won't help you, it's that I can't protect myself now and can't help you."
After saying that, he pushed Jiang Feixue away and entered Guanju Palace directly.
Ye Wanwan was able to survive until now because of her own fault, but that doesn't mean Jiang Feixue's injuries were not counted.
Especially in her previous life, Ye Wanwan always hated Concubine Li and Zhao Zhuo, feeling that they were stepping on her blood to climb up. But now she understands that Concubine Li and Zhao Zhuo are just shields, and what Zhao Yi really wants to keep is
But it was the child in Jiang Feixue's belly.
Zhao Yi seems to believe that the Leng family is suppressing the Ye family, but in fact he is doing it for the Leng family to see.
The Leng family was so powerful that he had to lower his profile, be coy and submissive, and wait until the time was right to suppress the Leng family in one fell swoop. He kept suppressing the Ye family, probably because he knew that Ye Zhaoru could not succeed and could not compete with the Leng family. The purpose of suppressing him was to let others down.
Don't get carried away, lest he be killed by the Leng family.
It seems to be suppressing, but in fact it is protective. However, Zhao Yi has always been cold, not close to the Queen Mother, and not disrespectful to Ye Zhaoru, which made them all feel that Zhao Yi was too ruthless, so he deceived the Leng family. In fact, he was partial to the Ye family.
Forcing Ye Wanwan to drink the Juezi Soup was just a show. After all, Ye Wanwan entered the palace with great fanfare, and the battle was comparable to marrying the queen. If it hadn't been for the Juezi Soup, I'm afraid Yan Guan's memorial would have failed.
The imperial study was flooded.
But after Ye Wanwan drank Juezi Soup, he was extremely fond of Jiang Feixue and protected her from giving birth to children one after another.
Jiang Feixue's natal family has declined and she can only rely on the Ye family, and the Ye family is Zhao Yi's absolute power, so Jiang Feixue's child is the best successor in Zhao Yi's mind.
You thought you had seen through this game, but in fact the deeper you look, the more surprising the truth becomes. The heart of an emperor is really unfathomable, and she has really learned a lot.
