400. Chapter 400 Surrender

The rumor that the emperor will go to Lu Yaoyao to be the queen is well known in the capital. Now everyone knows that Lu Yaoyao is noble and is the best candidate for the mother of a country. You will get married soon.

Ye Yaoyao, who has not been back to Beijing for a long time, has naturally heard such rumors.

"Chunmei, will the emperor really marry Princess Yaoyao?" Ye Yaoyao's tone was full of worry and fear, she did not expect to hear such rumors after returning to the capital, let alone the emperor would marry Lu Yaoyao.

She always thought that Lu Yaoyao was just the emperor's younger sister.

Chunmei combed Ye Yaoyao's hair, "Girl, why do you worry, the princess has such a good relationship with you, even if you enter the palace together in the future, she will definitely take care of you."

Ye Yaoyao didn't feel happy at all, but instead felt that... her chance of entering the palace became slim.

"Will Yaoyao let me into the palace?" Ye Yaoyao asked timidly.

Chunmei laughed, "It doesn't matter if the princess lets you enter the palace or not, the emperor will definitely let you enter the palace."

"Isn't that going to compete with Yaoyao in the future?" Ye Yaoyao lowered her head, remembering that night when she confided her thoughts in front of Lu Yaoyao, she suddenly felt embarrassed. At that time, did Lu Yaoyao already know that the emperor would marry her?

Why Yaoyao never mentioned it in front of her?

Chunmei smiled and said, "Which women in the palace don't need to compete for favor, girl, you are so beautiful, the emperor will definitely spoil you very much."

Ye Yaoyao used to like to listen to Chunmei's flattering words, but now it sounds really dull, and it can't comfort her panic in the slightest.

"You go down first, I want to be quiet." Ye Yaoyao sent Chunmei away.

She sat alone in front of the dressing table, looking at the beautiful face reflected in the mirror. When she lived in the palace, she often heard people say that she was extremely beautiful and the most beautiful woman in the palace. She knew what those palace people were talking about behind their backs. They all said that she would be the only one in the harem in the future, because she not only had the credit for saving the emperor, but also was so good-looking, as long as a man would cherish her very much.

However, none of them said that there is another Lu Yaoyao who looks better than her.

Ye Yaoyao originally trusted and loved Lu Yaoyao with all her heart, but now she feels that she doesn't want to face Lu Yaoyao, whom she once regarded as her best friend.

"Lu Yaoyao's fate is noble, don't tell me your fate is bad?" A familiar voice suddenly sounded in the quiet room, frightening Ye Yaoyao to sit up straight in a hurry.

"Who? Who's talking?" Ye Yaoyao cried out in horror.

A black figure wearing a black cloak came out from the corner, "Do you want to be robbed of your beloved by Lu Yaoyao just like that? It's up to people to decide whether or not your life is good. Can't you have the life of the mother of a country?" grid?"

Ye Yaoyao looked at the speaker in shock, she wanted to see his face clearly, but found his face hidden in the cloak, she couldn't see it no matter how she looked, "You... who are you?"

"I'm the one who has been helping you." The voice under the cloak was low and soft, sounding like a man and a woman, and his identity could not be distinguished.

"You...is that you?" Ye Yaoyao listened carefully to his voice, and suddenly remembered that he was the one who handed her the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting back then.

The man smiled softly, "It's me! Do you want to replace Lu Yaoyao as queen?"

Ye Yaoyao stood up in fear, she stared at the man standing in the darkness, trying hard to see what he looked like, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't see his appearance clearly.

"Even if I want to, what's the use? The emperor won't let me become a queen, I... I don't have the blessing like Lu Yaoyao." Ye Yaoyao said, "Did you imprison me? Who are you?"

"I've said it before. It's up to people to decide whether your life is good or not. As long as your life is the same as Lu Yaoyao's, you can become a queen." The man whispered, "I imprisoned you to save you. To give you a life of prosperity and wealth in the future, if it weren't for me, would you be able to have today? Ye Yaoyao, do you really think that you are the emperor's savior?"

Ye Yaoyao's complexion changed greatly, "Isn't it?"

"What do you think?" The man asked with a half-smile, "You are just a pawn for a stand-in. When the truth comes out in the future, how will you deal with yourself?"

"I..." Ye Yaoyao shook her head vigorously, "Don't you try to lie to me, why am I not the emperor's former savior... If not, why did the emperor treat me so well?"

The man said in a deep voice, "That's because I fabricated a false identity for you. You are living a life of rich clothes and rich food. What if the truth comes out? Will the emperor spare you? The crime of deceiving the emperor is a capital crime. "

Ye Yaoyao took a few steps back, looked at the person in the shadow corner precariously, "I... Those who don't know are innocent, and I didn't intend to deceive the emperor."

"Now that you know that you are a fake, will you tell the emperor? Do you want to return to the life of being bullied, or do you want to enter the palace and become a queen?" the man asked in a low voice, his voice full of temptation.

Ye Yaoyao opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to answer. She didn't want to commit the crime of deceiving the emperor, but she didn't want to live the life like before.

"How can I become a queen? It's just a dream." Ye Yaoyao said.

"Even if you can't be a queen, at least you still have a chance to become a noble concubine. It's better to have the chance to pamper the harem alone than to live a life of being bullied." The man laughed.

Ye Yaoyao was terrified when she heard that, she thought about the day she would become a queen, "Then what should I do?"

"I will help you, as long as you cooperate well." The man laughed, as if he was satisfied that Ye Yaoyao accepted his words, "Tomorrow, I will go to the palace to accompany the queen mother, show up in front of the emperor more often, and don't let the heaven give you the beauty beauty."

"Who the hell are you?" Ye Yaoyao didn't know if she could trust the person in front of her, but it seemed that only he knew her past, which even she couldn't remember.

"You don't need to worry about who I am, you just need to know that I am a person who can make you live and make you die." The man said.

Ye Yaoyao looked at him and asked, "Yaoyao... What if Yaoyao hates me?"

"If she becomes a queen and takes away your beloved, don't you hate her?" The man asked lightly, but his words pierced Ye Yaoyao's heart like a sharp arrow.

Will she hate Lu Yaoyao? Ye Yaoyao didn't know, but she knew very well that when she learned that the emperor was going to marry Lu Yaoyao, she really felt a strong resentment and jealousy in her heart.

"I see..." Ye Yaoyao lowered her head with a pale face, as if she had given in to her inner desire and her feelings for Mo Rongzhan.

She really likes the emperor, she doesn't need to be a queen, but she wants to stay with the emperor.
