Quick Wear: I was a Favored Concubine in the Qing Dynasty

The Empress was no stranger to Yu Suisui's arrogant yet obsequious demeanor. Her weary gaze fell on Yu Suisui's face, and indeed, becoming a favored concubine had completely changed her aura.

"I know that after you saved Yonglian, our debts of gratitude were settled." The Empress knew that there was no possibility of repaying Yu Suisui's life-saving debt with a greater debt.

She saved Yonglian, and in that respect, Yonglian's way of repaying Yu Suisui is far more important than the fact that she saved Yu Suisui in the first place.

At that time, Consort Jing's status was vastly different from Yonglian's.

Yu Suisui remained silent, waiting to see what the Empress would say next.

"I want to use your family in exchange for an opportunity." She didn't think Consort Jing didn't want to know about her family. She was using this to get Consort Jing to speak well of Yuzhu in front of the Emperor.

She wanted Yuzhu to live.

No matter what method is used.

Yu Suisui held the teacup in her hand and took a small sip. "His Majesty once asked me if I wanted to find my family members. Your Majesty, can you guess how I answered His Majesty?" This couple is really quite interesting.

They all like to control the original owner's family.

What's there to care about regarding the original owner's family? You'd be better off using that time and energy to do other things.

The Empress felt a little uneasy. She couldn't understand Yu Suisui's expression. She used to be a simple little girl, but now her eyes were dark and deep, like a bottomless spring.

"Your parents have been looking for you all these years. Don't you really want to see them?" The Empress had no choice but to use this to negotiate with Yu Suisui.

Yu Suisui put down her teacup. "Does Your Majesty know why you saved me?" It was because the original owner had a high fever and was pushed off the oxcart by her parents.

The original owner's family wasn't very poor, nor could they not afford to raise him. It was just that medical treatment cost money, and if the high fever wasn't cured and he became mentally impaired, then all the money spent would be wasted.

The original owner's family didn't only have her as a daughter; there were also older brothers, older sisters, younger brothers, and younger sisters. Having one more or one less of her made no difference.

The Empress didn't want to talk about these things with Yu Suisui, so she went straight to the point, "Do you want to see your parents?" She had only saved Consort Jing by chance back then, and if it had been anyone else who had collapsed there, she would have saved them too.

“I was pushed down by them back then,” Yu Suisui said.

"Didn't you say you lost your original memories?" The Empress frowned, explaining that she had stayed in the Prince's residence because she had lost her memories of what happened back then.

Even at such a young age, Consort Jing was already so cunning.

"Your Majesty has forgotten that last summer, I fell seriously ill and had two bouts of high fever. Consort Zhang even came to beg Your Majesty to arrange for a royal physician to come to me." Unfortunately, she did not receive a royal physician arranged by the Empress. She survived that summer by relying on the female physician and the royal physician that Consort Zhang later brought by crying and making a scene at the Imperial Hospital.

Empress: "Are you going to criticize me again? Consort Jing is perfectly fine now, which shows that she wasn't seriously injured back then."

Yu Suisui: "Your Majesty, I did not criticize you. What I wanted to say was, Your Majesty, haven't you been wearing a mask all these years? Isn't life tiring?" The Empress is actually a very hypocritical person.

She herself was not truly virtuous. She would rather the original owner of the body had died of illness that summer. The Empress's possessiveness towards Qianlong meant that she would never want to personally select a person for Qianlong, let alone choose the original owner of the body for him.

The original owner of the body was chosen by Emperor Qianlong himself, which was a betrayal to the Empress.

If they can't kill Qianlong, then they can only kill the original owner of the body.

The Empress's eyes flashed with a cold light. "Consort Jing, I called you here to discuss this matter, not to dredge up those meaningless old grievances."

Consort Jing is truly despicable.

"Your Majesty, do you ever wonder how the Emperor and I interact whenever you see me?"

"Does His Majesty speak sweet words to me? Does he do the same things to me as His Majesty the Empress?"

Yu Suisui smiled and said, "Your Majesty, do you think His Majesty prefers my youthful body or Your Majesty's aging and sagging body?"

"Consort Jing!" The Empress's face had lost its feigned friendliness, replaced by a fierce gaze that seemed intent on tearing Yu Sui Sui apart. "Consort Jing, do you really think I wouldn't dare do anything to you?"

Even if she killed Consort Jing now, the Emperor would only reprimand her a few times when he returned, and might not even confine her to her quarters.

"Your Majesty, I'm so scared!" Yu Suisui deliberately tried to annoy the Empress. "Your Majesty said that Your Majesty is very rigid and boring."

"Consort Jing, how could you say such things so openly? Do you have no sense of propriety or shame?" The Empress thought of the words that Qianlong had said to Yu Suisui, and in her mind, she saw their two white bodies intertwined.

During the argument, she said that the Empress was still not as young as her, and that the Empress was still not enough... When the Empress thought of this, she felt nauseous and even though she had already said the words of cursing Yu Suisui, she was so disgusted that she vomited.

Yu Suisui silently looked away. "Your Majesty, I've heard this kind of talk a lot. His Majesty even said that Your Majesty likes to put on airs, but you don't do it carefully enough, and you always make mistakes..."

"Shut up, Consort Jing, shut up!" The Empress felt disgusted; the Emperor was disgusted, and Consort Jing was disgusted too.

"I have treated you well over the years. I don't expect you to repay me, but you shouldn't repay kindness with enmity." The Empress took a sip of tea to suppress her nausea. She really couldn't believe that the Emperor was this kind of person in private.

Yu Suisui looked at the Empress with her dark eyes, "Your Majesty, you said you were good to me, so what are you doing now? Using your supposedly good parents to threaten me?" The Empress was doing bad things while claiming to be a good person.

It's like a virtuous woman in the harem who, while maintaining her image as a virtuous woman, allows the Imperial Household Department to torment unfavored concubines. Where did the virtuousness of the empress go at that time?

Shouldn't she have been expressing her virtue and gentleness at that time?

Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. All that existed was the Empress's virtue in front of Emperor Qianlong. The concubines in the harem were not worthy of the Empress's virtue.

The empress, whose persona was shattered by Yu Suisui, no longer acts at all.

"Consort Jing, I have a clear conscience about how I have treated you all these years." The Empress felt that she had been very good to Consort Jing. She had saved Yonglian, which offset the debt of gratitude she owed her. But hadn't she felt any gratitude for the years she had lived under her protection?
