1186. Chapter 1186 Asking for a Meeting

Hu Yue'er was taken to the Daohua Courtyard. When she got off the sedan chair and saw the garden full of rare and exotic plants, her eyes instantly felt stinging. The flowers and plants planted here were all ones she had never seen before. Fortunately, she was in Xiuhe Palace because of a few flowers. The chrysanthemums were so complacent, but the Queen didn't even bother to admire chrysanthemums. The emperor had no idea where to choose more gorgeous flowers to plant in the courtyard.

How else can she compare with the Queen?

"Shu Fei, please come this way." Hong Ling came out, lowering her eyes and not looking at Hu Yue'er, and she even shouted "Shu Fei" unwillingly.

Hu Yue'er didn't want to argue with the maids around the Queen. She came to see Lu Yaoyao today, not for anything else.

Ye Zhen walked several times in Daohuayuan this morning. Her legs were a little sore and her belly was heavy. Qi Jin asked her to lean on the soft couch, saying that she was about to give birth in the next few days, and she would get sick if she walked for too long. If it hurts, let her try not to walk for too long at a time, and just walk once in a while.

She is now uncomfortable even sitting, so she can only lie on her side and use pillows to cushion her waist to feel more comfortable.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Shu is here." Hongying whispered to her.

Ye Zhen opened her eyes slightly and said, "Let her come in."

There were rustling footsteps outside, and then Hong Ling walked in. Behind her was a man wearing a light cyan satin round-neck straight dress, and a white skirt underneath. It looked simple and plain, but in fact But she is very particular about it. The skirt is made of high-quality brocade, and anyone with a discerning eye can still see it.

Compared to Ye Zhen's leisurely mood, Hu Yue'er was so nervous that her fingers clenched into fists.

How long had it been since she had seen the Empress? It seemed like not long ago, but it seemed like years had passed. She thought that whether she was left out or not, the Empress who lived alone in Chengde Villa would definitely be depressed, at least when she saw her. Sometimes, she will show a little hostility, and she will no longer look at the women in the harem with a condescending gaze like before, as if no one can shake her noble status.

She is disappointed!

Lu Yaoyao still didn't take her seriously, and even...she looked a little bit disappointed. Not only was her face radiant, her skin was as smooth as jade and as white as porcelain. She had never seen a pregnant woman before. She could be so beautiful. When she stood next to Lu Yaoyao, she was like heaven and earth. No matter how carefully she dressed up, she still looked dull and irrelevant.

"Shu Fei, why are you standing there and not talking?" Hong Ling saw that Hu Yue'er was in a daze and couldn't help but frown.

Hu Yue'er came back to her senses and hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "I have met the Queen, may I be blessed with peace and prosperity."

Ye Zhen looked at her for a while and said, "Concubine Shu, please get back on your feet. It's been a hard journey all the way. Sit down and talk."

Hongling had no choice but to move a round stool over for Hu Yue'er to sit down.

"I don't have to work hard. I can come to pay my respects to the empress. How can I feel hard?" Hu Yue'er said with a smile, her eyes unconsciously passing by Ye Zhen's belly. Thinking that she would not be able to get pregnant in the future, she couldn't help but feel sad.

"You all should go out first." Ye Zhen said to Hongling and the others.

Hong Ling frowned slightly, with worry in her eyes. How could she rest assured that the empress and Concubine Shu would be alone together.

Ye Zhen raised her eyes and glanced at her. Hong Ling saw her warning and had no choice but to lower her head and retreat.

Ye Zhen and Hu Yue'er were the only ones left in the room. She waved to Hu Yue'er, "I'll take a look for you."

"Empress?" Hu Yue'er looked at her confused.

"Is your voice caused by poisoning last time?" Ye Zhen said in a low voice. It seems that the medicine given by the other party is still very poisonous. I heard that Hu Yue'er only took two mouthfuls of blood swallows. Fortunately, he didn't eat much, otherwise he would have died long ago. .

Hu Yue'er felt embarrassed. She hoped to make Lu Yaoyao a little jealous of her. It seemed that Lu Yaoyao knew all about her situation in the palace.

"It turned out that the empress knew everything." Hu Yue'er said with a wry smile.

Ye Zhen took her pulse, sighed and said, "The poison is too powerful. I'll go back and get some medicine later. Even if it can't cure the rest, it can at least restore your voice."

Hu Yue'er whispered, "Your Majesty is very skilled in medicine. She must know that I will never have any children in the future, right?"

"Even if you don't have any heirs, no one will treat you badly in the palace." Ye Zhen said.

"Can I ask you a question?" Hu Yue'er lowered her eyes, not looking at Ye Zhen's delicate and picturesque face.

Ye Zhen nodded slightly, "You ask."

"My concubine is actually...a virgin, right?" She couldn't ask anyone else to check her in the palace, but she believed that with Lu Yaoyao's medical skills, she should be able to tell from her pulse.

"Why do you ask like this?" Ye Zhen did not answer. She looked at Hu Yuer indifferently, "Concubine Shu, why do you want to see me?"

Hu Yue'er slowly raised her head. Lu Yaoyao didn't answer her, but the answer was already obvious. It was really sad. It turned out that she was just like the one who stayed in bed before, and the emperor would never touch her.

"I just want to take a look at your Majesty." Hu Yue'er said in a low voice, "Do you believe me?"

Ye Zhen said, "I believe you, so now that you have seen me, what else do you want to say?"

Hu Yue'er looked at Ye Zhen blankly, and she laughed at herself, "I have always envied my empress. Not only does she have a good family background, but she also gets the emperor's undivided favor. There are so many sisters in the palace, who doesn't envy you? You are us The devil in everyone's heart, because of you, no one in the emperor can look down upon you. When I heard that you were sent here, I was secretly happy. It seems that I have really become a beloved concubine, as if I have really got something. Just like the emperor's favor, others look at me with envy, but in reality, only I know..."

"If it weren't for the poisoning, I can't believe that my suspicion is true. Queen, I was poisoned on your behalf. Your Majesty made others think that I became your favorite concubine because he wanted to... let me stand in front of you. He wants to protect you, doesn’t he?”

Ye Zhen looked at Hu Yue'er silently, "The person who poisoned you will be punished."

Hu Yue'er smiled mockingly and glanced at Ye Zhen, "The Queen is really well protected, but living in the palace is not easy. Could it be that the Emperor can only place you here in the future? What if How many substitutes do you need to find, won’t someone find out?”

"I will not always be in Chengde Villa." Ye Zhen said lightly.

Hu Yuer asked sternly, "Yes, I don't know how many people will be poisoned on behalf of the Queen. I used to think that the Emperor was ruthless, but now I know... The Emperor is too affectionate. If it wasn't for you, why would he have so many worries?" , a queen who cannot fight side by side with the emperor, how can you have the face to stand by his side and let so many women die in your place?"
