Rongzi thought to himself, I really feel lucky, I was lucky to meet His Majesty so early. If today, the emperor values me as something difficult, Chang Le is valued by the emperor, she used her life in exchange for the emperor's eternal attention, but she never knew it herself.
As for the palace, Xuan Ye had conducted a personnel check, ordering the internal department to recheck the identities of all the palace people. The more sensitive people had been ordered to leave the palace, and the truth of the matter, including the true identity of Wu Lantu Ya, was only known by Xuan Ye, Rong'er, Imperial Concubine Hui, and Liang Dai. This matter had been quietly concealed away.
In the past few days, Ronger and Imperial Concubine Hui's palace was bustling with noise and excitement. It was the various palaces that had come to gather information, and since the emperor had already given the order to keep quiet, no one dared to say a word.
He had already lost too much blood and had heard that his wound was infected. Rong'er had gone to visit her, but she could see that his face was pale and his eyes were lifeless. He seemed to have lost his soul and was being looked after by her side.
Rong'er's heart ached at the sight of this. He sat down next to her and gently held her hand as he called out to her.
After a long while, Chang Gui seemed to finally react to the situation, and slowly turned to look at her. He then suddenly grabbed Rong'er's hands in excitement, "Imperial Concubine Rong, tell me, why did Erqi want to assassinate the Emperor? "Why?"
The Imperial Concubine Rong sighed. The woman in front of him was so pitiful, she was the direct victim of this matter, but she didn't even have the power to know the truth. She thought for a moment, then softly said, "It seems like her father committed a crime and was sentenced to death by the emperor. She came to avenge her father …"
"Why didn't she say so? She's been doing her best with me for the past year, but why didn't she tell me? " Venerable Chang began to swallow his saliva. "She has to let me know. I'll definitely try to persuade her …"
Rong'er lightly patted the back of her hand and helplessly said, "You know, sometimes people lose their reason in hatred."
"The child is gone, and so is Erqi. I'm all alone now." Chang Gui softly murmured.
"Don't say it like that, Le. Don't you still have us? You'll get better …" "You have to be strong. You saved the life of the emperor, and no one in the palace dares to speak ill of you at all. These things should be worth your hope."
Venerable Chang shook his head and murmured, "The children are gone, they're all useless …"
Rong'er's heart couldn't help but move. Noble Min had spoken the truth; previously, he had angered the imperial harem because of the flute. Now that she had saved the life of the emperor, she would have more blessings to enjoy in the future.
Three days later, her wound was infected again and he died without being able to cure it. Xuan Ye was extremely saddened and could not eat for a few days, so he stopped to serve his and personally paid tribute to her family. Xuan Ye used Chang Le's sacrifice to save her, and as an example, he gave Chang Le a very important evaluation.
Inside the house with the flickering candle light, Noble Min was quietly standing there. Looking at the noble Chang's spirit tablet, she felt a slight tremble, and within the candle light, she felt as if she could see her first mom looking at her with teary eyes, telling herself to learn to protect herself in the palace, to learn to hide herself in the palace, and to not be too real in the palace … She thought of Auntie's sarcasm, Second Mother's aggressive attitude, Fourth Mother's smile that didn't reach her eyes, Fifth Mother's smiling face that was full of flattery, Sixth Mother's Chu Ke, Seventh Mother's unstoppable weakness, Eighth Mother's coldness … He, Ama, was just a third rank concierge, yet he had a main house, three side rooms, four concubines, her first wife was the third son, and in this house, although she was a side room, she had lost her favour long ago. In this house, her first mother had learned to be low-key and smooth, not to fight for power with her eldest mother, not to fight for love with her eldest mother, not to mention that she had always been generous and reasonable, to get along with all the women, and finally settled down in her house until now, and even obtained Ama deep respect from Ama.
When she was about to participate in the talent show, her mother-in-law was very afraid that she would be chosen to join the palace. She remembered very clearly that night, her mother-in-law's tears kept falling, and Ama only had eight wives, but she was already very careful. Thus, concealing herself and ensuring her safety was the principle that she had adhered to ever since she entered the palace. She had never displayed her true nature, and had always been generous and decent.
Chang Le's flute was favored by others. Her first thought was the same as everyone else: Chang Le had used his own thoughts and obtained the royal favour. However, when she saw that Chang Le had truly been ostracized, she couldn't help but feel pity for her, whether it was real or fake. She was willing to be like her first mom and be someone who cared about her. She remembered that her eldest mother had once said that sometimes you looked at her with pity. Perhaps one day, she would turn over, and sympathize with the weak was easier than fawning over the strong. And when the weak turned over, you would receive even more rewards.
Chang Le saved His Majesty, so it was time for him to make a comeback. However … She's dead … In the end, she still did not have any luck. Gently stroking her lower abdomen, there was a tiny life that decided his position in the harem, and she would definitely not let anything unexpected happen to him.
As he was deep in thought, he suddenly heard footsteps from behind him. Turning around, he saw that it was Imperial Concubine Rong.
Rong'er wasn't surprised to see Noble Min here. He nodded at her and said, "In this palace, you're the one who treats Chang Le the best."
Honorable Master Min also said to Rong'er, "In this palace, only you who occupy the position of Imperial Concubine will think about her frequently."
"Who asked me to be the oldest, that's what I should do." Rong'er turned to look at Chang Le's spirit tablet. "I still haven't taken good care of her."
He thought to himself, actually, when she entered the palace, she found that the conduct and character of the women in the palace far surpassed those of her first wives, and the one leading them was the oldest one in front of her. I heard that Imperial Concubine Rong was born as a palace maid, but she was doted upon by the emperor for over ten years and became her concubine from a palace maid. Or was she extremely kind? Perhaps she still needed time to discover the answer, but in her heart, she really didn't hate her. If it was a fake, to be able to do this shouldn't be considered bad, just like her first wife, who was extremely friendly to all the women in Ama. Perhaps she didn't really like them, but she had only used one method.
