Time Travel: The actress's acting skills exploded, and she was favored by the harem

"I just feel that, until now, we have experienced so many things, all of which are so strange, but the emperor always lets them go easily... It's so strange!" Qiuyue couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"Sometimes, not pursuing the matter doesn't mean you don't know the truth, but that there is no need to. Aren't there enough people who died in the palace? When has there not been a few people missing for no apparent reason? The emperor and the empress have seen it a lot, so naturally they don't think it's a big deal." Shen Zhiyao said.

There are some things that Shen Zhiyao is not comfortable saying. Shen Zhiyao has witnessed Zhao Jingzi's ups and downs since she entered the palace.

The emperor always put Zhao Jingzi in the spotlight and set traps for her everywhere, without considering her life or death at all.

In fact, wasn’t it the same when the emperor first tried to test Shen Zhiyao?

If Shen Zhiyao had not been sober-minded, and if her father Shen Li had not been cautious and low-key, able to withstand the emperor's many tests, who could guarantee that her end would not be worse than Zhao Jingzi's?

Bo Muxi doesn't like weak people, and even less so, strong people with low emotional intelligence.

From the beginning to the end, Concubine Zhao was just a benchmark deliberately set up by Bo Muxi in the harem, a benchmark used to warn the harem and to intimidate the court.

Shen Zhiyao had seen through all of this a long time ago and had become numb to it.

What she fought for was never fairness and justice, but the attitude that the emperor and the empress did not dare to treat her casually.

However, Qiuyue's question is also Shen Zhiyao's: at whose hands did Qingmiao, the maid of Ningshuang Palace, die?

She was never clear about this line, and many details seemed to be missing.

Shen Zhiyao suddenly felt that there seemed to be an invisible force hidden in the harem that could reach out to them at any time...

That night, to everyone's surprise, the emperor actually went to see Concubine Zhao, which was a rare visit.

When everyone in Yuquan Palace heard that the Emperor had picked out the name of his own queen, they were overjoyed. They all busied themselves preparing for a long time, going to great lengths to make it as if it were Chinese New Year.

Bo Muxi would occasionally come to Yuquan Palace to sit and stay for a short time just to take a look at the eldest prince. At other times, he would rarely come.

Concubine Zhao was even more surprised and dressed up carefully.

While waiting for Bo Muxi, she suddenly felt unreal, as if she was dreaming.

Zhao Yuhan still remembers that when her aunt arranged for her to marry into the Fourth Prince's Mansion, she cried and resisted!

When she was young, she loved reading various storybooks and had great admiration for her future husband. However, Bo Muxi was always serious, so she was not willing to marry him at first.

Until one day, she was flying a kite with her maid in the courtyard, and Bo Muxi happened to come to see her uncle.

As he passed by them, he stood there, looking at her with a gentle smile, his eyes full of doting.

Zhao Yuhan suddenly felt that Bo Muxi looked like a handsome young man in a storybook.

The belated heartbeat made her fall in love with this man without hesitation.

At first, they had a very sweet time. Bo Muxi would occasionally hold her in his arms and enjoy the flowers and snow together.

Until Bo Muxi ascended the throne and she gave birth to the eldest prince, everything changed and it seemed that there was no going back.

She would never understand why things had come to this between them.

Zhao Yuhan loves her son so much that she devotes almost all of her remaining energy to him.

In order for the eldest prince to have everything, she would rather harm other people's children.

She stubbornly believed that the imperial power that Bo Muxi had once fought madly for would also be what the eldest prince was keen on.

She poured out her love for Bo Muxi, which she had nowhere to express, onto the eldest prince.

Zhao Yuhan never thought that she had done anything wrong. Everything she did was just to win Bo Muxi's love.

Anything done for love is right. This is Zhao Yuhan's life creed.

Perhaps Concubine Zhao was too excited. When Bo Muxi really arrived at Yuquan Palace, she didn't know how to treat him. She was as nervous as if it was her wedding night.

She personally made lotus seed soup for Bo Muxi, which was their favorite dish to enjoy together when they were sweet.

How she wished she could go back to the past, even just for one night.

"Empress Zhao... you and I have been together for quite some time, and you have always been fond of competing for favors!"

Bo Muxi said solemnly, as if he was questioning someone, and ignored the hope in Concubine Zhao's eyes.

"Your concubine..." When Concubine Zhao heard this, her fiery heart felt like it was poured with ice water and instantly turned cold.

"There are some things you really think I don't know? Is it that I am incapable of investigating? I am just considering our relationship! When will you learn to restrain yourself?" Bo Muxi interrupted her explanation impatiently.

"Your Majesty, you should know everything, but do you know how I feel?" Concubine Zhao asked with a sob, pearl-like tears slowly rolling down her cheeks.

When others see a beautiful woman shedding tears, they will definitely feel distressed.

Bo Muxi acted as if he didn't see it, and scolded coldly: "No matter which concubine it is, if she is favored, you will punish her! Have I ever treated you unfairly? You are now a noble concubine, and you have the eldest prince by your side. She is just Wanyi, but you always pick on her, and in the end you can't get rid of her. Why do you do it?"

When Concubine Zhao heard this, she felt as if her heart was burning with anger.

It turned out that the reason he came to Yuquan Palace today was not to favor her, but specifically for Shen Zhiyao!

Concubine Zhao covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and her big tears rolled silently on the handkerchief, which was soaked in an instant.

Bo Muxi looked at her and suddenly remembered that Zhao Yuhan, who was once as bright and lovely as a flower, had now become an abandoned woman with no charm at all. He felt annoyed.

After all, it was Bo Muxi who truly doted on her. Now it seems that she is indeed not worthy of his favor.

On the other hand, Shen Zhiyao is smart and eloquent, and she will not make him feel wronged, so she deserves his favor.

An ancient poem says: "If life could always be like our first meeting, why would the autumn wind bring sorrow to the painted fan?"

That's the truth.

“Your Majesty, as long as it is something you don’t like... I will change it... I will try my best to change it…” Concubine Zhao wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief, sniffed, and forced a smile.

Her efforts to please made Bo Muxi even more upset.

How could such a good person become so unrecognizable?

"Forget it, it's late. Go to bed early. I still have to be busy with state affairs tomorrow." Bo Muxi shook his head and sighed.

Concubine Zhao forced a smile and agreed. She was reluctant to call the palace maid, so she helped Bo Muxi change clothes herself.

That night, the two slept separately, and Bo Muxi deliberately avoided physical contact with her.

Concubine Zhao cried silently until half of her pillow was wet, but she just pretended to sleep obediently.

Even though I sleep with the person I love so much, my heart feels even emptier.

Concubine Zhao thought that Bo Muxi had also tried to coax her with all his heart, just as he cared about Shen Zhiyao. But now, Bo Muxi turned over her card against his will and came to scold her, just for such a little concubine.

Seeing that she had not done anything out of line, Bo Muxi felt relieved and soon fell asleep.

However, Concubine Zhao secretly shed tears until the second half of the night.

After making sure that Bo Muxi was fast asleep, Concubine Zhao turned over, supported her head with one hand, and looked carefully at the emperor's sleeping face.

Bo Muxi now refuses to touch her anymore, and it is even more impossible for them to have children.

Gazing lovingly at Bo Muxi's sexy figure that looked even more three-dimensional in the darkness, Concubine Zhao felt as if a raging fire of hatred had ignited in her chest, burning her heart, hot and painful.

She didn't hate the emperor, she just hated Shen Zhiyao!

Concubine Zhao cried silently for a long time, but suddenly laughed.

The corners of her lips formed a strange arc, which was somewhat creepy under the pale moonlight.

"You are the one who deserves to die... Shen Zhiyao, hehe... I will let you be proud for a few more days. Sooner or later, I will make you live a life worse than death..." Concubine Zhao murmured in a low voice.
