Hu Yue 'er was finally able to get off the bed. She held onto Miao Ling's hand and walked around the bedroom. Although she had stood up, her body was still very weak. Her throat, which had been burned by the poison, had not recovered. Her voice was still hoarse and unpleasant. She did not even want to hear her own voice.
"This consort wants to go to the Imperial Garden," said Hu Yue 'er in a small voice. She was already feeling a little annoyed staying in this bedchamber.
Miao Ling smiled and said, "Niang niang, it's cold outside. Your body is rather weak right now, so it's best that you don't go out."
Hu Yue 'er understood that this meant that she couldn't go out to meet people yet.
"Then let's take a walk in the courtyard outside." Hu Yue 'er said softly. She didn't have to go to the Imperial Garden, but she didn't want to always be in the bedroom.
Ever since she woke up, even the emperor had stopped coming.
Was she no longer of any value to the emperor?
Hu Yue 'er felt sad in her heart. It wasn't that she didn't complain, but in comparison, she really hoped that she was still useful. This way, she could still see the Emperor every day. Maybe one day, the Emperor would pay attention to her. She didn't ask for much, just a little position was enough.
Miao Ling looked at Hu Yue 'er and sighed inwardly. "Then this servant will help Niang Niang out."
"Okay." Hu Yue 'er smiled happily.
"This servant will bring the cloak over for Her Highness." Miao Ling said. She still had some sympathy for Hu Yue 'er, but it was only sympathy. Her loyalty was always to the emperor. She would do whatever the emperor ordered her to do. As for Hu Yue' er … It could only be said that this was her fate.
The sun was bright outside, but the autumn wind was slightly chilly. She greedily inhaled the air outside. "It's so good to be able to come out."
Miao Ling stood behind her and smiled faintly.
"Has the Empress returned to the palace?" Hu Yue 'er looked in the direction of the Yongshou Palace. Her eyes were calm, and she hid all the hatred in her heart. She used to dream of being like Lu Yaoyao, but now she no longer wanted to compare.
In the emperor's mind, she probably didn't even have the qualifications to be compared.
"This servant didn't hear that the Empress had returned to the palace," Miao Ling said in a low voice.
So Lu Yaoyao hadn't returned to the palace yet. She had already been poisoned on her behalf. Wasn't the Yongshou Palace very safe now? Or... did the emperor still want her to continue being Lu Yaoyao's shield?
"The palace seems to be very quiet recently." Hu Yue 'er said in a light voice. She really wanted to know what had happened outside. Did the emperor know who poisoned her? Did he avenge her? However, her trusted maidservant had disappeared. She couldn't find out anything even if she wanted to.
Miao Ling, who was serving her now, would definitely not do anything for her. Miao Ling would only watch over her and not let her leave Xiuhe Palace.
Miao Ling said, "Niang niang, the wind is getting stronger. How about this servant help you in?"
Hu Yue 'er could only nod gently and hold Miao Ling's hand as they returned to the bedroom.
"This consort is a little hungry," said Hu Yue 'er in a low voice.
"This servant will immediately order the food to be sent over." Miao Ling said.
Hu Yue 'er stood by the window and looked outside. Just as she was in a daze, Eunuch Fu's voice came from outside, "The Emperor has arrived!"
The Emperor is here? Hu Yue 'er didn't react until a little palace maid happily came in to pass the message. She finally came back to her senses and quickly fixed her hair. She was worried that her makeup today was too light and the emperor wouldn't like it, "Quickly help ben gong dress …"
The little palace maid froze. "Niang niang, the Emperor has arrived."
Hu Yue 'er froze. She smiled bitterly. What was she thinking? No matter how well she dressed, the Emperor probably wouldn't like it.
Just as she was thinking, Mo Rongzhan walked in with large strides.
"This concubine greets the Emperor. May the Emperor be blessed." Hu Yue 'er lowered her head and knelt down to pay her respects, suppressing the grievance and sadness in her heart.
"Rise." Mo Rongzhan said lightly. He sat down on the kang at the side and looked down at the pale Hu Yue 'er, "I heard that your body has gotten better these past few days, so zhen came to see you."
Hu Yue 'er didn't dare raise her head to look at Mo Rongzhan. In the past, when she thought that she was truly pampered, she would show a shy and charming smile in front of the Emperor. Now that she thought about it, she really was like a clown at that time. The Emperor probably didn't notice that she had been wearing exquisite makeup every day. She had even hesitated for a long time to pick out clothes, most likely wearing a color that the Emperor didn't like.
"Come and sit." Mo Rongzhan pointed to a seat on the other side, "No need to stand."
"Yes." Hu Yue 'er lowered her head and carefully sat down on the other side.
Mo Rongzhan looked at her. He knew that Hu Yue 'er definitely had many doubts and probably knew that his existence was to protect the Empress, "Zhen announced that you were pregnant to hide the fact that you were poisoned."
Hu Yue 'er's shoulders trembled. This was the first time she had heard from someone that she had been poisoned.
"The blood swallow has been poisoned. The two people who poisoned it are already dead." Mo Rongzhan said, "As for the others, zhen knows what to do. This matter can't be made public, do you know what to do?"
"This concubine … …" Hu Yue 'er's voice was hoarse. Then she felt embarrassed. Her voice in the past wasn't very pleasant, but it was much better than it was now. She didn't know if the Emperor would dislike her. She braced herself and said in a low voice, "This concubine knows what to do. After a few days, when my body is better, I will find an excuse to not have a child."
This way, it wouldn't cause others to misunderstand.
Mo Rongzhan lightly nodded, "Very good."
Hu Yue 'er wanted to ask who the mastermind was. Had she really become the Empress' scapegoat, or … … Lu Yaoyao had wanted to kill her?
"Do you have any wishes after being wronged this time?" Mo Rongzhan asked.
She wanted to receive the Emperor's true love, even if it was just a little! Hu Yue 'er said in her heart. She raised her head to look at Mo Rongzhan. His handsome and vivid face was as cold as ice, making people not dare to approach. Hu Yue' er lowered her head, "This concubine has no other wishes."
Mo Rongzhan looked at her, "Zhen will grant your father the title of viscount so that your Hu Family will have a title to inherit in the future."
Hu Yue 'er suddenly raised her head and looked at Mo Rongzhan with shock and emotion, "This concubine thanks Emperor."
She had entered the palace in order to let her family enjoy glory and splendor. Now … … now, even though she had almost lost her life in exchange for the title, she felt satisfied.
The Emperor … … wouldn't really be heartless towards her.
"Get up." Mo Rongzhan nodded and stood up, "Zhen will leave first. Take care of your body."
Hu Yue 'er raised her head to look at Mo Rongzhan's departing figure. She felt a sweet and sour feeling in her heart. The Emperor had raised her status in the family, was it to compensate her? Or was it for her sake?
She was actually looking forward to it … …
What was there to look forward to?
