Yu Suisui shook her head. It was obvious that not only did she not have a good conversation with the Empress, but she was also hurt by the Empress.

"Did I go back on my word?" Emperor Qianlong sat on the couch.

Yu Suisui shook her head again, "Your Majesty, how can you take these arguments seriously?"

"When did I tell you that I had a fight with the Empress?" Consort Jing sent someone to eavesdrop.

Yu Suisui pointed to Qianlong's face, then looked around the room, trying to find a mirror, but couldn't.

"Your Majesty, don't you look at your own face? You look terrible. It's obvious you had a bad talk with the Empress." She could probably get anyone at Jiuzhou Qingyan to eavesdrop on Qianlong and the Empress's conversation.

Nobody dared to listen.

Not to mention that he came over and told her after hearing it.

These people value their lives highly; no one would risk such a great deal to do this for her.

Emperor Qianlong: "Does my complexion look bad?"

Yu Sui Sui nodded: "It feels even worse than the sky outside." It was approaching evening, and there were no clouds today. The sky, which was about to turn completely dark, was inky black.

"What kind of person do you think the Empress is?" Qianlong asked.

Here we go again, here we go again. Qianlong really never stops. She thought of something: even a male protagonist like Qianlong in a romance novel has slept with female supporting characters, and not just one.

If it could end with a happy ending, then where's the romance in this novel?

"Your Majesty, I don't want to talk about it." Yu Suisui said with her head down. Thinking of the male and female leads, she was the female supporting character who took advantage of the situation, and she was the kind of vicious female supporting character who was now pretending to be innocent.

Emperor Qianlong: "Speak!" He wanted to know what kind of person the Empress was in Consort Jing's heart.

Yu Suisui could only think it over and over again, hesitating again and again, "Your Majesty, people have both good and bad qualities, how should I put this matter?"

"Say whatever you want." Emperor Qianlong was eager to know.

Yu Suisui had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Your Majesty, the Empress is actually half good and half bad to me. I am grateful to the Empress for saving my life. But when the Empress suspects and doubts me, I also feel bad and wonder if I am making a mountain out of a molehill."

"After all, compared to the debt of saving a life, this is really insignificant."

Emperor Qianlong frowned as he looked at Yu Suisui, signaling her to continue.

Yu Sui Sui: "..." What else can I say? She's almost completely racked her brains.

"Your Majesty, I later realized that I was living in the present moment. My emotions were real, my sadness was real, my pain was real, and my disappointment in Her Majesty the Empress was real."

“But these things really can’t be erased by that life-saving grace. I can’t console myself.” As Yu Suisui spoke, she thought for a moment that Qianlong was probably facing the Empress’s accusation that he was a treacherous person.

“But this has nothing to do with the past. I can repay Her Majesty the Empress for saving my life, but I will still distance myself from Her Majesty the Empress because of these real feelings in the present moment.”

"It's not that I'm heartless, it's just that we're not meant to be. Our connection isn't strong enough to make us a better person, so it has to stop here."

Yu Suisui said, her voice trembling with tears, "But this doesn't mean that what I said before was false, nor does it mean that I am a heartless person."

As Qianlong listened to Yu Suisui's words and reflected on what she had done, he realized that she had both thought and acted in this way.

"You have done very well." Qianlong thought so. The words he had spoken before were for the empress of the past, not for the empress of today. Could the empress herself still say that she was the same as she was ten years ago?

The Empress herself has changed, so why can't he?

Yu Suisui: I knew it was because of the Empress. I thought this would definitely be a story of chasing after one's wife and cremating her. People like her are bound to have a lot of bad luck in the future.

It's possible that Emperor Qianlong would actually burn it and display it to show his loyalty to the Empress.

-

The Empress returned to her usual residence, Changchun Xianguan. She used to live there because it was close to the Emperor, making it easy for them to meet.

Now that I'm living here, I think of Consort Jing, who lives in Kyushu Qingyan.

At that time, she actually felt that living next to the emperor was already very good. It turns out that the emperor was not unwilling to live in the same courtyard as others.

Yuzhu was very careful the whole way, afraid that any slight movement might upset the Empress.

"Your Majesty, did Consort Jing say something to the Emperor?" Otherwise, why would the Emperor be so resolute this time?

When the Empress mentioned it at the Jiuzhou Qingyan, she was only referring to Consort Jing as all the concubines, not actually referring to Consort Jing.

"It's not her fault, it's the Emperor who has changed." The Empress told herself that she had given up, but she couldn't help it. She always felt that there was still a sliver of a chance. Should she give it a try?

But this attempt resulted in a bloody head injury.

She recalled the time before she entered the palace to participate in the imperial concubine selection. At that time, her mother said that her personality was too stubborn. She had never suffered since childhood and did not know when to change her mind.

If I were to enter the palace, I fear I would only realize the mistakes I made after hitting a brick wall.

But after hitting a wall, and bumping into it several times until she was bleeding, she still didn't know whether to turn back.

How can you turn your head again?

They clearly agreed to back down, but in the end they didn't.

Seeing that the Empress was still speaking up for Consort Jing, Yu Zhu recalled Yu Sui Sui's repeated refusals to help Changchun Palace and told the Empress, "Your Majesty, Consort Jing is not the same as before. She has long forgotten Your Majesty's kindness."

He's an ungrateful wretch.

The Empress said, "Yuzhu, Consort Jing owes me nothing. She saved Yonglian's life, and that favor has already been repaid. Now that she is unwilling to speak up for our Changchun Palace, it can only mean that she has a better relationship with the Noble Consort." Consort Jing was able to become Consort Jing, of course, she also had a keen eye for judging the situation.

Now that Consort Gao is so powerful, why would she want to antagonize her for her own sake?

Yu Zhu felt that the Empress was too kind-hearted. Jingfei, such an ungrateful and shameless scoundrel, should have been dealt with long ago.

It serves as a wake-up call.

"Yuzhu, you shouldn't go looking for Consort Jing anymore. Given our situation, it's only right that she stays away from us." She's completely lost her former empress-like demeanor now.

The Emperor is truly ruthless.

-

After the Empress Dowager arrived at her residence, Yue Di Yun Ju, Li Yu returned home.

"The Empress has entered the Emperor's Nine Provinces Palace." Aunt Chun's news always came so quickly that even the Empress Dowager felt she was too well-informed.

Empress Dowager: "Will we start arguing?" There's definitely going to be an argument. The Empress is the kind of person who won't give up even when she's at her wit's end.
