Chapter 362 You Destroyed Me
"Regarding what happened on New Year's Eve, I have always been very obedient to Madam Lu and thought she was very capable. My brother happened to be troubled by a chronic illness, so I wanted to find an opportunity to ask Madam Lu for advice. But later I heard that she was not in the Marquis Wanning's Mansion and seemed to have returned to Yaowang Valley. I didn't expect to see her today." Shan Zhaoyi spoke softly and told the story.
The brother she was talking about was Shan Ji.
He is really capable, as he was able to stay in the palace.
Yuan Buwei knew that if she didn't stand up at this time, the emperor would become suspicious of Princess Jinghe and the imperial concubine.
then.
She took the initiative to step forward and bowed to Shan Zhaoyi: "Your Highness greets Shan Zhaoyi."
Shan Zhaoyi was stunned. She didn't expect Yuan Buwei to stand up. She didn't even need to use her status to pressure her. She just bowed so calmly?
"Madam Lu, why are you dressed like a palace maid?" The Queen looked curious.
"In reply to the Queen, Princess Jinghe's health is a little unstable. I was worried, so I disguised myself as a maid to serve her. I hope the Queen will forgive me." Yuan Buwei turned around and explained to the Queen.
"Mrs. Lu has done nothing wrong, why did she dress up as a maid?" Shan Zhaoyi's cold eyes fell on Yuan Buwei and lingered, "Could it be that... Excuse me, Madam Lu, you also know that the Shan family is very complicated, so I have been taught since I was a child to be more careful in everything."
"It's right for Shan Zhaoyi to be cautious, but I feel that I'll be freer with the identity of a palace maid. And you just said that I was brave on New Year's Eve. If a lot of people came to thank me, I wouldn't be able to handle it, so I dressed up as a maid." Yuan Buwei spoke softly and returned all the words to Shan Zhaoyi.
Shan Zhaoyi's face twitched, and she tried to keep smiling: "Yes, I spoke too much, please forgive me, Madam Lu."
"It is only right that Shan Zhaoyi is cautious." Yuan Buwei leaned forward and glanced at Shan Zhaoyi. "Has Shan Zhaoyi been having trouble sleeping recently?"
"Are you ok?"
"The rouge on your face can't cover the dark circles under your eyes." Yuan Buwei laughed and exposed Shan Zhaoyi, "If you need, I can help you take a look."
Shan Zhaoyi was stunned for a moment, thinking she had heard wrongly.
Why is Yuan Buwei still taking the initiative to move forward?
She is not afraid...
But then I thought, since she had already asked, why should I refuse? "Then please ask Madam Lu to accompany me and help me recuperate."
"Easy to say."
Yuan Buwei smiled and looked at Princess Jinghe: "Princess, I will be back soon."
Princess Jinghe nodded. She admired Yuan Buwei's courage and determination to move forward. "Okay, if you don't come back in two hours, I will send someone to pick you up."
"Thank you princess."
After Yuan Buwei finished speaking, she looked at Shan Zhaoyi and said, "Shan Zhaoyi, you can go now."
"Oh well."
Shan Zhaoyi nodded, and under everyone's gaze, she walked out of the hall with Yuan Buwei.
"Empress, I'll take my leave now. Please take good care of yourself." Princess Jinghe bowed and left with the imperial concubine.
By the time they reached the main hall, all the concubines had left.
The queen's smiling face finally darkened. She held her stomach and sat down, her forehead covered in sweat.
"Queen, are you okay?"
The maid Lianxin came up and took out a handkerchief to wipe the queen's sweat, her eyes full of distress: "Your belly is getting bigger and bigger, and your body is getting more and more tired. I am really worried..."
"Will not."
The queen stroked her belly and said, "This child, Lianxin, please help me do something."
"Okay, please give your orders, madam."
Yuan Buwei followed Shan Zhaoyi to her residence, Qingliang Palace, which was very close to the emperor's bedroom.
"Mrs. Lu, please wait here for a moment. I..."
"Mu Qing, now that we're in your territory, why are you still pretending?" Yuan Buwei took the initiative to get straight to the point.
Shan Zhaoyi, who was originally smiling, slowly disappeared when she heard this, and a trace of hatred flashed across her eyes: "I don't understand what Madam Lu is talking about?"
"Mu Qing, you can do what you want to do. I have no right to stop you, but you can't step on me or trample on me to fulfill your dream." Yuan Buwei sneered, "Do you think that with Shan Ji as your backer, you can get what you want? Whatever you want, will come true?"
Shan Zhaoyi could no longer maintain the smile on her face, and her hands clenched into fists involuntarily.
"I know Shan Ji too well. Anyone can be used by him. You think he is helping you, but in fact he is just using you. When you are stuck in a quagmire and can no longer extricate yourself, you will see if he will pull you out."
"Yuan Buwei!"
Shan Zhaoyi, no, it was Mu Qing who finally couldn't help but take off her disguise and shouted, "I am Shan Zhaoyi now. When you see me, you should kowtow and kneel down. What qualifications do you have to be arrogant in front of me?"
"You are just a Zhaoyi, not a concubine. There is a huge difference between the two. Besides, if we really talk about status, we should be on par with each other, right?" Yuan Buwei smiled.
"Yuan Buwei, don't be so proud. I tell you, one day, Lu Sui will be mine." Mu Qing's eyes flashed with a look of determination. "Only I can achieve his ideal, what he wants..."
"I have already married him."
Mu Qing was stunned and frowned: "What did you say?"
"I said, Lu Sui and I have already been married, and we have done everything we should and shouldn't do."
Mu Qing took two breaths, her mind a little confused. The next second she suddenly reacted and glared at Yuan Buwei fiercely: "Impossible, Lu Sui would not do this, how could he... Impossible, I don't believe it."
"We are husband and wife. There is nothing impossible between husband and wife."
"No, I don't believe it."
Mu Qing suddenly lost control. Looking at Yuan Buwei in front of her, she felt that her face was full of provocation. The next second, her head buzzed and she took action.
Yuan Buwei didn't hide either. She just stood there, smiling and looking at her.
Until Shan Ji, who had been hidden in the darkness, suddenly appeared and held Mu Qing's hand.
"let me go."
Mu Qing struggled, looked up and glared at Shan Ji: "Shan Ji, what are you doing now, are you going to go against me?"
"Calm down."
"How do you expect me to calm down?" Mu Qing roared, his face full of ferocity.
Yuan Buwei, however, was calm and composed, looking at the two with a smile on her face: "Aren't you allies? Shouldn't you be working together? Why are you arguing?"
"Isn't it because of you?" Seeing Shan Ji protecting Yuan Buwei, Mu Qing, who was broken, attacked frantically, "Yuan Buwei, why can't you be more low-key? Why don't you choose to stay in Yaowang Valley and never come out for the rest of your life?"
"I'm afraid I can't do that."
"It's all your fault. It's all because of you. You ruined me, do you know that?" Mu Qing suddenly lost control of his emotions, but the next second Shan Ji knocked him unconscious with a palm.
