The Qingyang Palace was brightly lit. The owner of the Qingyang Palace,, was currently sitting in front of the tea table and sighing.
In the middle of summer, every day when he looked up, he would be able to see a lush and verdant mountain. If the weather grew cold, he could also see the snow-capped mountain, which was a rare sight in the palace which was densely packed with buildings in the palace.
But Imperial Noble Consort Hanqin was not in the mood to admire the scenery outside the window all day. She stared at Little Flower, who was swirling in the teacup, and was extremely unhappy. It seemed like there was something troubling him, so he had to be even more careful. He didn't want to accidentally lose his life.
Hanqin didn't say much, she wasn't an overbearing person. Normally, she wasn't that bad to her servants either, but when she was still Prince Su, she was still a minor girl. Fortunately, her father also had the same plan. For a very long time, she had thought that she was very lucky. When she married into Prince Su's mansion, she finally understood one thing, that Wang Su did not love her.
Other than the title of a prince's consort, she couldn't seem to be given much, but fortunately, she wasn't upset. Her life was still very long, and she was also very young. For her father's most beloved and beautiful daughter in the Zhao Mansion, there was nothing that she couldn't do, nor could she get her hands on.
Her father's love for her far surpassed Zhao Min's, so there was no need to even mention Zhao Ci's. Therefore, whenever she was mentioned, her sense of superiority was very strong …
She had always known that her mother's nightmare was that woman called Du Yueyao. At that time, she was still too young, and could not completely understand, but even though she was jealous of her father's gaze and love, and could feel a bit of the grievance her mother had endured from it, she was still young and ignorant, and did not understand many of the reasons. Her mother had told her at that time, that if you want to live better, you had to be as hard as iron.
So later on, Du Yueyao died of embarrassment, and her master, who had no protection, was bullied by Zhao Min and her like a drowning dog. She had thought at the time that she could always get what she wanted.
The biggest blow was that after she married Prince Su, the Emperor passed away, the Prince Bi was crippled, and Wang Su became the Emperor.
Speaking of which, this was something she hadn't thought of, but his father had. Wang Su's spirit and shrewdness was enough for him to make it to this point in time step by step, even though the process was extremely arduous. But that had nothing to do with her. After all, when Wang Su ascended the throne, she would be the Queen.
The sort of treasure that would suddenly fall into one's hands was flashing with golden light. She knew that her life as the wife of the prince would be more than luxurious. She never thought that there would be a day when she would have such a high profile position waiting for her.
After the Emperor ascended the throne, she waited in the palace day after day, but what she received was not news to bestow upon her the title of Queen. Instead, the Empress turned out to be a woman by the name of Jia Zhao Huaihe.
That woman was older than him and had also come before him, so why would it be her turn first?
Until she finally saw the woman, she was even more surprised by her momentary loss of color than by the news that had disappointed her. That woman was so graceful and noble, and her family was so illustrious. She could not be compared to the three acres of land in the Prime Minister's Estate …
She accepted it just like that, but she was still unwilling to accept it. The Emperor ignored them, and they fought openly and secretly. On the surface, they even seemed to be working hand in hand to properly manage the harem.
If she had no children, then wouldn't the empress be the same? She could no longer wait on her using her Imperial Study, so the empress was still unable to enter the Imperial Study. The Emperor's ambitions and ambitions far exceeded her imagination, and the relationship between his imperial court and the imperial harem was also far more complicated than she had imagined.
It's good enough that she's adapted to it. No matter what, she's the only Imperial Noble Consort in the Emperor's body, and she's the woman who has accompanied the Emperor the most.
But what was that Princess Ge Ya who suddenly jumped in? She was jealous of her face, and resented that she was actually able to stay within the Imperial Study. She had actually stayed by the emperor's side for more than half a year.
Moreover, what was even more terrifying was her face, which was far younger than his own. That face was almost the same mask that Du Yueyao had carved for her back then …
For the first time, she understood why her mother said that Du Yueyao was her nightmare.
Because he couldn't compare to …
Because of that face, he could easily lose more of himself.
In the end, she was afraid.
That woman was like Du Yueyao's soul. She was jealous of her, resentful and even fearful of her.
Not only could she serve the Imperial Study, the emperor had actually protected her from every angle. The empress had asked her to take off her mask at the palace feast, she was fine with it, but the emperor had actually helped her from the left and right.
Afterwards, he had used matters of the nation as an excuse to prevent the Empress from interfering with him.
He didn't know what she did to make the emperor think so much of her.
She passed her Imperial Noble Consort's medallion to her personal little palace maid …
Back then, even though I still do not remember anything, I have heard of Du Yueyao's reputation in the end. I heard that there were a lot of people who painted her as a portrait, and she should already be in the people by now. If you can't find it, go to my mother's Prime Minister Zhao's house and pass this letter to my mother. She will naturally help you. "
Hanqin remembered that his father was one of the people who chased after Du Yueyao. Although Du Yueyao had died and her things had all been burnt, it seemed like there was still something underneath his father's box. If that Ge Ya was related to Du Yueyao, she would definitely recognize those things.
If this Imperial Noble Lady Ya did not die, she would be stuck in her heart like a poisonous thorn.
Ever since that night when Empress Hanqin had met that little palace maid who was on duty at Imperial Study, the eunuchs and palace maids that were serving at Qingyang Palace had all sensed the changes in their Empress. She seemed to have something on her mind, and furthermore, she was somewhat anxious and had a slightly worse temper.
Moreover, the young palace maid who had always understood her and enjoyed her was actually leaving the palace at this time. Furthermore, she hadn't returned for several days.
Hanqin poured away the brewed flower tea, making her feel impatient.
But since Ge Ya was in the same position as Imperial Study, there was nothing that she could do about it. If it was a young palace maid from another place, she only need to find someone to throw her into the Min Si River at night. Even though there weren't many masters in the palace, there were still a lot of servants. Who would be able to find out that there was one less person?
However, Ge Ya was in charge of the place that was important to the Emperor, which was a place that even she himself could not easily enter. Furthermore, before entering, he had to inform the Emperor.
Ge Ya also served tea in front of the emperor everyday. I heard that she's the first woman to serve at Imperial Study since the emperor ascended the throne. If she ever disappears, the emperor probably won't be able to let her go …
But what could he do to take her away from the Imperial Study?
"When the previous Emperor was still alive, the master of the Celestial Tower was very favoured. The palace can be used to enter and leave anywhere." By chance, Hanqin had heard of the old nanny s in the palace speaking, so she sent some people up to investigate.
I heard that the Celestial Arena is still there. There's only one astrologer left, but they're no longer in court because the Emperor hates them.
It didn't matter if he was disgusted or not, the rules were set by the former emperor, as long as he could enter and leave the palaces, that would be enough.
In less than two days, the only remaining astrologer followed the young eunuch's lead and arrived at the Qingyang Palace in the middle of the night.
He was wearing a black cloak and even her head was covered by the cloak. Originally, Hanqin had thought that she was some kind of person, mysterious and powerful.
He had a drooping beard and a dejected look.
"So you don't have much ability?"
The old man took a long sip of his tea and looked greedy.
"Esteemed wangfei, the matter of occupying the stars is just like that of the martial arts cultivators. If you don't believe me, then it doesn't matter. There is no right or wrong. After all, we are not living immortals …"
"Then it must be a fake …"
"Empress, but regardless of whether you believe it or not, your image really does display many, many problems."
"But the emperor doesn't believe it, and the late emperor is no longer around. Who knows, one day the emperor might want to kick you out of the palace. How are you going to live?"
Hanqin did not speak further, she had her servants give the astrologer a whole box of gold.
"You don't need to identify her. If you keep on targeting her, it will instead arouse the Emperor's suspicions. You only need to bring her before empress, stop for a while in front of her, and let the empress take notice of her. Then you can go out of the palace at night with the gold in your arms. "Compared to your meager salary and your precarious position in the court, you should think about it yourself."
The astrologer kowtowed repeatedly, "This old student is willing to listen to the Empress."
It was not easy to arrange for the astrologer to come to the imperial palace to investigate. The Emperor loathed the people in the astrological platform, if it wasn't for the request of the Empress joining hands with him, the Emperor wouldn't care.
As a result, the Imperial Noble Consort became ill, and everyone in the Qingyang Palace knew that the Empress did not think about eating or drinking all day, and she seemed to be extremely ill. But the imperial physician had visited it many times, but had never been able to find out the reason.
In the end, everyone in the Qingyang Palace knew that Imperial Noble Consort Hanqin had been possessed … And gradually spread the news …
In the end, this matter had still alarmed the empress. For a whole two months, they had finally waited a day for the servants of the empress palace to head to the Heart Nurturing Palace to request for the emperor to let the astrologer come back to the empress dowager …
