Everyone in the capital knew that the emperor would make Lu Yaoyao empress. Now, everyone knew that Lu Yaoyao had a noble birth and was the best candidate to be the mother of the country. Now, as long as the decree to remove the title of princess came down, the emperor and Lu Yaoyao would be married.
Ye Yaoyao, who had just returned to Jingdu, naturally heard such rumors.
"Chunmei, will the emperor really marry princess Yaoyao?" Ye Yaoyao's tone was filled with worry and fear. She didn't expect to hear such a rumor when she returned to the capital, and she didn't expect that the emperor would marry Lu Yaoyao.
She had always thought that Lu Yaoyao was just the Emperor's younger sister.
Chun Mei helped Ye Yaoyao comb her hair, "Miss, you don't have to worry, the princess and you have such a good relationship, even if you two enter the palace together in the future, she will definitely take care of you."
But Ye Yaoyao didn't feel happy at all. Instead, she felt that … her chances of entering the palace were getting slimmer.
"Will Yao Yao let me enter the palace?" Ye Yaoyao timidly asked.
Chun Mei smiled, "What does it matter if the Princess lets you enter the palace or not? The Emperor will definitely let you enter the palace."
"Won't he have to fight with Yaoyao for favor in the future?" Ye Yaoyao lowered her head and thought of that night when she poured out her heart to Lu Yaoyao. She suddenly felt embarrassed. At that time, did Lu Yaoyao already know that the emperor would marry her?
Why had Yaoyao never mentioned it to her?
Chun Mei said with a smile, "Which of the imperial concubines in the palace doesn't need to fight for favor? Miss, you are so beautiful, His Majesty will definitely spoil you."
Ye Yaoyao used to like listening to Chun Mei's flattering words, but now it was really dull, and couldn't comfort the panic in her heart at all.
"You can leave first, I want to be alone." Ye Yaoyao sent Chun Mei away.
She sat alone in front of the dressing table, looking at the beautiful face reflected in the mirror. When she lived in the palace, she often heard others say that she was very beautiful, that she was the most beautiful woman in the palace. She knew what the palace servants were talking about behind her back. They all said that she would be favored in the harem in the future because not only did she save the emperor, but she was also very beautiful. As long as it was a man, they would treasure her.
However, they didn't mention that there was Lu Yaoyao who was prettier than her.
Ye Yaoyao originally trusted and loved Lu Yaoyao wholeheartedly, but now she didn't want to face Lu Yaoyao, who she once regarded as her best friend.
"Lu Yaoyao's fate is noble, but is your fate bad?" A familiar voice suddenly rang out in the quiet room, scaring Ye Yaoyao into sitting up straight.
"Who? Who's talking? "Ye Yaoyao shouted in fear.
A black figure wearing a black cloak walked out from the corner. "Do you want your beloved to be snatched away by Lu Yaoyao? Whether one's fate is good or not is decided by others. Can't you have the fate of being the mother of a nation? "
Ye Yaoyao looked at the person who spoke in shock. She wanted to see his appearance clearly, but discovered that his face was hidden in the cloak. She couldn't see it no matter how hard she tried. "You … Who are you?"
"I'm the one who's been helping you." The voice under the cloak was low and gentle. It sounded like a man and a woman at the same time, making it impossible to tell his identity.
"You … it's you?" Ye Yaoyao listened carefully to his voice and suddenly remembered that he was the person who taught her the four arts.
That person laughed in a low voice. "It's me! Do you want to replace Lu Yaoyao as the Empress? "
Ye Yaoyao stood up in fear. She stared at the person standing in the darkness, trying her best to see what he looked like. However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't see his face clearly.
"What's the use even if I want to? His Majesty won't let me become the Empress. I … I don't have Lu Yaoyao's fortune. "Ye Yaoyao said." Did you imprison me? Who are you? "
"I've said it before. Whether one's fate is good or not is decided by others. As long as your fate is the same as Lu Yaoyao's, you can become the Empress." That person said in a low voice. "I imprison you to save you. I want to give you a life of glory and wealth in the future. If it wasn't for me, would you be where you are today? Ye Yaoyao, do you really think that you're His Majesty's savior? "
Ye Yaoyao's expression changed. "Am I not?"
"What do you think?" That person asked with a smile that wasn't a smile. "You're just a substitute chess piece. When the truth comes out in the future, what will you do?"
"I …" Ye Yaoyao shook her head forcefully. "Don't lie to me. How am I not His Majesty's savior in the past … If I wasn't, why would His Majesty treat me so well?"
That person said in a low voice. "That's because I made up a fake identity for you. You're living a life of luxury now. What if the truth comes out? Will His Majesty spare you? Deceiving the Emperor is a crime punishable by death. "
Ye Yaoyao took a few steps back. She looked shakily at the person in the dark corner. "I … I don't know, I'm not guilty. It's not like I wanted to deceive His Majesty."
"Now that you know you're a fake, will you tell His Majesty? Do you want to return to a life of being bullied, or do you want to enter the palace and become the Empress? "That person asked in a low voice. His voice was filled with temptation.
Ye Yaoyao opened her mouth. She didn't know how to answer. She didn't want to commit the crime of deceiving the Emperor, but she didn't want to live like before.
"How can I become the Empress? It's just a dream. "Ye Yaoyao said.
"Even if you can't become the Empress, at least you have the chance to become a Guifei. You have the chance to pamper the Inner Palace. It's better than living a life of being bullied." That person chuckled.
Ye Yaoyao's heart trembled when she heard this. She thought about the day she becomes the Empress, "Then what do I have to do?"
"I will help you, as long as you cooperate." That person smiled. He seemed very satisfied that Ye Yaoyao accepted his words. "Tomorrow, enter the palace to accompany the Empress Dowager. Appear in front of His Majesty more often. Don't waste the beauty that the heavens gave you."
"Who are you?" Ye Yaoyao didn't know if she could believe this person in front of her. But, it seemed that only he knew her past. A past that even she couldn't remember.
"You don't need to know who I am. You only need to know that I am a person who can let you live and let you die." That person said.
Ye Yaoyao looked at him and asked. "Yao Yao … What if Yao Yao hates me?"
"If she becomes the Empress and takes away the person you love, won't you hate her?" That person lightly asked. His words were like a sharp arrow that pierced into Ye Yaoyao's heart.
Would she hate Lu Yaoyao? Ye Yaoyao didn't know. But, she was very clear. When she found out that the Emperor wanted to marry Lu Yaoyao, she really had a strong resentment and jealousy in her heart.
"I know …" Ye Yaoyao's face turned pale. She lowered her head. It was as if she had given in to the desire in her heart and her feelings for Mo Rongzhan.
She really liked the Emperor. She didn't want to be the Empress, but she wanted to stay by the Emperor's side.
