The layout of the harem of Yuan Kingdom was exactly the same as that of the Kingdom of Qi. Even the location of the cold palace was the same.
Zhao Rao did not know if it was because of the banquet, but no one stopped her along the way. She actually found the place where Lu Wushuang was locked up, and no one was guarding it. There were only faint curses coming from the gloomy palace. Those who did not know better would think that this deserted place was haunted.
She could tell that the voice belonged to Lu Wushuang. Otherwise, she would have been scared away.
"Lu Wushuang." Zhao Rao whispered.
The voice inside the door quieted down.
"Are you inside?" Zhao Rao asked again. This place looked terrible. Why did Lu Yaoyao lock Lu Wushuang up here?
"Princess?" Lu Wushuang's hoarse voice came out. She seemed to have caught a life-saving duckweed. "Is it you? Did the emperor ask you to save me? "
Zhao Rao frowned. Sure enough, it was Lu Wushuang. "Why are you locked up here?"
"It's Lu Yaoyao, that little bitch!" Lu Wushuang's hands dug out from the crack of the door. Her nails were full of dirt, and some of them were broken. Her fingertips were stained with dried blood. "She doesn't put the Kingdom of Qi in her eyes at all. She wants to declare war on the Kingdom of Qi."
"How did you offend her?" Zhao Rao asked lightly. She did not like Lu Wushuang, so it was difficult to sympathize with her.
Lu Wushuang cried, "She just doesn't want me to live well. When did I offend her?"
"If you don't tell me the truth, I can't help you." Zhao Rao said lightly. She did not believe in hatred for no reason. Just like her and Concubine De, it was also because of her mother's blood feud.
It was not an exaggeration to say that there was a blood feud between Lu Yaoyao and Lu Wushuang.
"Where is the emperor? Go and ask the emperor to see me. "Lu Wushuang felt that she did not have a deep relationship with Zhao Rao. Zhao Rao would not take the initiative to save her.
"Do you think my father still remembers who you are?" Zhao Rao smiled coldly. "It's the banquet for the founding of the nation. My father is only in the main hall trying to please Lu Yaoyao. If he had you in his heart, he would have saved you long ago instead of letting people spread the news that you were kidnapped."
Lu Wushuang's already pale face became even more livid. "What did you say?"
"You should understand what I am saying. Only I know that you are here. Apart from me, no one can save you." Zhao Rao lightly said.
Although she was not the king of a country like Zhao Yong, her identity as the princess of the Kingdom of Qi was not to be underestimated. What's more, if even she could not save Lu Wushuang, Lu Wushuang could only wait for death here.
"Is the emperor really so cruel?" Lu Wushuang's hollow eyes were full of despair. "How could he do this to me?"
"Aren't men supposed to be like this?" Zhao Rao smiled.
Lu Wushuang remembered how she felt when she was sent to the Taoist temple by Mo Rongzhan. At that time, in addition to despair, there was also indescribable pain. She loved Mo Rongzhan so much, but he abandoned her just like that.
"Will you help me?" Lu Wushuang was not willing to be locked up here. She wanted to leave and find her brother. Now, only Lu Lingzhi could help her.
"Other than me, who else can help you?" Zhao Rao asked faintly, "But you have to tell me, what kind of deep hatred do you have with Lu Yaoyao?"
Zhao Rao did not want to be enemies with Lu Yaoyao, so she had to weigh whether she could exchange terms with Lu Wushuang first.
Lu Wushuang gritted her teeth and said, "That shameless little bitch, she seduced Mo Rongzhan, but she disliked me and even caused my Lu family to be confiscated …"
"It seems that you are not telling the truth." Zhao Rao sneered. She had seen the Lu family in the hall today. If Lu Yaoyao really harmed the Lu family, would Lu Shiming's family treat her as a daughter?
"Why do you ask so many questions?" Lu Wushuang asked angrily. "You only need to save me, and I will not treat you badly in the future."
"To save you, I offended Lu Yaoyao." Zhao Rao snorted coldly. "If you don't want to tell me, then forget it."
Just as Zhao Rao was about to turn and leave, Lu Wushuang finally gritted her teeth and said, "Mo Rongzhan's former princess was Lu Yaoyao's sister. Ye Zhen saved Mo Rongzhan when he was a child. Later, Mo Rongzhan regarded me as … the girl when he was a child. Ye Zhen committed suicide."
"Ye Zhen did not commit suicide. She was killed by you." Zhao Rao listened to the meaning of Lu Wushuang's words. It seemed that others were at fault. She understood the real root cause. She killed Ye Zhen in order to get Mo Rongzhan. Otherwise, why would Lu Yaoyao hate her so much and torture her here?
Lu Wushuang said bitterly, "Even if I killed her, so what? Ye Zhen is already dead. Lu Yaoyao is ungrateful. If it weren't for our Lu family, would she be where she is today? "
Zhao Rao smiled faintly. "It was Lu Shiming who raised her. It has nothing to do with you."
"Are you here to mock me, or are you here to help me?" Lu Wushuang shouted at Zhao Rao in a hoarse voice.
"I can help you." Zhao Rao said in a low voice, "You have to tell me, what do you have on Concubine De?"
Lu Wushuang suddenly looked at Zhao Rao. Although there was only a crack in the door, she could still see Zhao Rao's cold and beautiful face. She used to think that Zhao Rao was a spoiled princess, but now she had a whole new level of respect for her. No one knew the secret between her and Concubine De. How did Zhao Rao know?
"Princess, what are you talking about? I don't understand. " This was her last hope. She could not tell Zhao Rao that if Zhao Yong handed over the throne to the second prince, Concubine De would definitely come to save her for the secret.
Zhao Rao seemed to see through Lu Wushuang's thoughts. "Do you still think you can count on Concubine De? No one will know that you are here except me. "
"No …" Lu Wushuang hesitated. She did not know whether she could trust Zhao Rao or not.
"Lu Wushuang, I don't have much time." Zhao Rao said softly.
Lu Wushuang knew her situation. She knew that if no one helped her, Lu Yaoyao would not let her go. "The former Empress was killed by Concubine De."
Zhao Rao felt that the tip of her heart was gripped tightly. "How did she die?"
"You can check the new concubines who entered the palace in recent years and you will know why they are not pregnant. The emperor only let us eat child-avoiding soup in recent years. I heard that no one has eaten it before, and so many people have died … It is the same situation as the former Empress. So I asked my brother to check it out. Concubine De was good at making incense when she was with the former Empress. How did she kill the former Empress? You can ask her yourself." Lu Wushuang said anxiously.
Zhao Rao knew that Concubine De was good at making incense, but she had not seen her do it for many years. She also suspected that the death of her mother had something to do with it. However, the imperial doctor had checked the things that her mother used and found nothing unusual.
Concubine De … Concubine De … She had underestimated this woman.
