My elder sister forced me to change my marriage? I became the favorite in the harem by eating melons

If Wu Qingying really beat Zhang Ying to death, then Wu Qingying in her previous life would not have died at the hands of Zhang Ying.

Obviously, no matter how Wu Qingying vented her emotions on Zhang Ying, even if she beat Zhang Ying half to death, the only thing that was certain was -

Yu Huan knew that Wu Qingying would not beat Zhang Ying to death. Yu Huan was very sure of this.

"Empress, to be honest, if I were following a wise master like you, I would be willing to die. But I am following a master like Wu Zhaoyi. Do you know that? Following a master like Wu Zhaoyi, even if I am devoted to her, I will not accept it from the bottom of my heart."

"A person like Wu Zhaoyi is not worthy of my loyalty, Queen. She doesn't even treat me as a human being!"

Zhang Ying felt really wronged, really sad, and really unwilling to accept the situation.

Her eyes were full of tears, and her face was covered with tears. She just looked at Yu Huan, staring at Yu Huan.

I wanted to see even the slightest bit of emotion on Yu Huan's face.

But she couldn't see it.

Perhaps, she also saw from Yu Huan's face the emotion he showed towards her at the beginning, her tragic experience, and her dedication to Wu Qingying over the years, but in the end she was treated like this. She felt sympathy and distress for herself.

She could feel it and realized it. Otherwise, she would not have told Yu Huan her true feelings, her experiences over the years, and the injuries on her body, and took off her clothes to show Yu Huan, just to prove to Yu Huan how Wu Qingying treated her during the years she was with her.

She thought that with these, she could impress Yu Huan, at least -

This was her last ditch effort, wasn't it?

But when she saw Yu Huan's calm and indifferent face, even though Yu Huan sympathized with her, she couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart.

Yes--

Yu Huan felt sympathy for her, but sympathy was sympathy and pity was pity, which did not mean that Yu Huan would want her.

At this moment, Zhang Ying was desperate and her heart was broken.

Completely heartbroken and desperate, she just stared at Yu Huan blankly, not knowing how long she had been staring at Yu Huan.

Her hands under her long sleeves suddenly clenched into fists, and her pale face suddenly became sad and desperate.

Even she herself didn't know how long she had been staring at Yu Huan. She saw her eyes become numb, saw her eyes fixed on Yu Huan without blinking, saw...

Her eyes were sore and painful that she could hardly open them.

"Empress, so no matter what I say or do, you will not... want me, right?"

"Mrs. Zhang, you clearly already have the answer in your heart, so why do you still have to ask me?"

"Even if I die in front of you, Your Majesty, you won't even look at me or feel pity for me, right?"

Hearing Zhang Ying's words, Yu Huan shook her head, her expression had already returned to its previous calmness: "I am not a heartless person, how could I really be indifferent to you? Lady Zhang, please get up."

"Empress! Are you really unwilling to save me?"

"What if I promise you, Queen, that I can ensure that your throne remains intact?"

The throne is something that all women in the world can only dream of, especially women who become queens. They are even more afraid that the throne will be taken away by others.

Obviously, Zhang Ying also grasped this point of all the women who became queens.

Unfortunately--

Zhang Ying really underestimated herself.

Although this position of queen was hard-earned, Yu Huan felt very comfortable with her high status.

However, it does not mean that Zhang Ying's words will make him change his mind about her, and he will not recruit her under his command just because of these words.

"Zhang Ying, you are smart, and I can see that. And you are very capable, but I am not the kind of person who will compromise just because I am threatened."

The position of queen is the lifeblood of every queen.

Zhang Ying thought that when she said these words in front of Yu Huan, it would more or less make Yu Huan look at her more, or even think more highly of her.

But what she didn't expect was that, on the contrary, she actually received Yu Huan's contemptuous look.

"The position of Queen is not everything to me. On the contrary, as Concubine Zhang said, I did not make any mistakes, but I could not keep my throne. In front of the Emperor, I could not stand the provocation and frame-up of others. As a result, I missed the chance to become Queen. I can only say that I am not as good as others."

"If my position as queen requires your help, Concubine Zhang, then I don't want the position."

From the moment Yu Huan rejected her, Zhang Ying knew that she had not made a mistake in choosing the right person.

Although Yu Huan seems to be a person who doesn't talk much and treats everyone calmly, everything she says and everything she does is carefully thought out and within her expectations and calculations.

Including every word Yu Huan said now, it was so flawless.

Yes, she is right.

Only an incompetent person would recruit her just because of her words.

Just like what Yu Huan said herself, if her concubines needed her help to maintain support so that she could keep her position firmly, then she really didn't need to be the queen, right?

Realizing that she had said the wrong thing, if it were the previous Zhang Ying, she would definitely not make such a mistake.

But now Zhang Ying...

She knelt in front of Yu Huan and kowtowed to her several times: "I'm sorry, Queen, I was too anxious, so I offended you..."

Hearing this, Yu Huan just shook his head: "Mrs. Zhang, you are indeed smart and resourceful. But it's a pity that you still think some things are too simple."

Indeed, Zhang Ying is indeed very smart, and even Yu Huan cannot deny that.

but--

It is precisely because Zhang Ying is too smart, to the point of being too smart, that she ends up making mistakes.

It is also difficult for a person to remain rational when he is in a hurry.

"When you are completely calm, Concubine Zhang, and are able to have a normal conversation with me calmly, then come over."

"Queen!"

Hearing that Yu Huan wanted to drive her away, Zhang Ying was really panicked at this moment.

She just wanted to join Yu Huan, although in Yu Huan's eyes, she could not bring anything to her. Just like Yu Huan said that she was smart, she was indeed smart, but the promises she made were not true. She had to bring visible benefits to Yu Huan, didn't she?

But he didn't even give himself this chance...

How can Zhang Ying display her talents in front of Yu Huan?

Zhang Ying was a little panicked. She was really panicked at this moment.

"Mrs. Zhang, although you came to my Kunning Palace without telling Consort Wu, that's because Consort Wu's mind is not on you at all, but on the Emperor in the Yangxin Palace. But that doesn't mean Consort Wu doesn't have any spies in the harem. Moreover, Consort Wu values ​​you so much. I believe you know the extent of her value of you without me saying much. If some servant in the harem gossips and exaggerates the news that you came to my palace and tells Consort Wu, what will she say to you when she finds out? Even if you are eloquent, I'm afraid you won't be able to think of a way to deal with Consort Wu in a short time, right?"

Indeed, Yu Huan's words made Zhang Ying fall silent again.

Kneeling on the ground, it was no longer like before, where she could reply to every word Yu Huan said.

At this moment, she knelt on the ground without saying a word, as if the words that were on the tip of her tongue were stuck in her throat and she had no idea how to say them.

Yu Huan just stared at her silently for a while, just as Yu Huan stared at Zhang Ying.

Zhang Ying also lowered her head and did not look up at Yu Huan.

The two of them just kept their thoughts to themselves and no one spoke.

In the end, Yu Huan sighed helplessly. She just shook her head and sighed.

He stepped forward again and helped Zhang Ying up from the ground: "Mrs. Zhang, get up."

This time, Zhang Ying was no longer like she was before and did not give Yu Huan any face.

Instead, he was helped up from the ground by Yu Huan.

However, Zhang Ying's eyes were still full of expectation when she looked at Yu Huan.

"I don't form cliques with any of the concubines in the harem, but I hit it off with Concubine Zhang right away. If you need my help, you can tell me at any time. As long as it is within my ability, I will not refuse you."

Originally, Zhang Ying's heart had fallen to the bottom, but after hearing Yu Huan's words, at this moment, it was as if she suddenly picked up hope.

The light in her eyes, which had already darkened, seemed to suddenly ignite hope at this moment. She just stared at Yu Huan, and until the end, she suddenly smiled.

He burst into laughter and said, "Thank you, Queen!"

The rest doesn't need to be stated too clearly.

Just as the Empress herself said, she was someone close to Wu Zhaoyi. Everyone in the harem, including the Emperor, knew that she had been following Wu Zhaoyi around all these years and had become Wu Zhaoyi's shadow.

If I suddenly join Yu Huan and become someone close to Yu Huan, how will others think of Yu Huan?

Moreover, according to Wu Qingying's revengeful character, she watched helplessly as the dog next to her became the dog next to Yu Huan in the blink of an eye.

By then, Wu Qingying will not only hate herself, but also Yu Huan.

However, given Yu Huan's intelligence, even though Zhang Ying and Yu Huan had only known each other for a short time.

But she could also feel that Yu Huan obviously didn't care about these things.

She...cares about herself?
