Chapter 9: Refusing to Go Along with the Crowd

When Wei Yu came back, Concubine Jia had not left yet. There was no trace of crying on her face, and her expression was calm, completely different from her previous arrogance.

His temperament is like a different person.

Wei Yu seriously suspected that this person was mentally ill.

Concubine Jia smiled bitterly and walked to Wei Yu. "You are absolutely right. Compared to you, my current ending is indeed not much better."

You are not a little bit better than me, okay? Wei Yu was unable to complain.

"Are you really Wei Yu?" Concubine Jia said.

Wei Yu's heart was pounding. Could it be that Concubine Jia saw through the phenomenon and realized that she was a time traveler?

Wei Yu smiled and responded to all changes with constancy.

"It seems you see clearly."

Wei Yu said it was not clear at all.

By the way, were the ancients always so ambiguous in their speech? Can they please speak properly?

Concubine Jia dismissed all the palace maids, and only the two of them were left in the huge main hall.

"Everyone in the palace is acting and playing tricks, all wanting to live the way the emperor likes. I know the emperor only has the concubine in his heart, and I also know that we are just pawns to maintain the balance of the harem, but I am unwilling to accept this."

"The Emperor wanted someone to check you, so I showed that I had the offensive power to check you. The Emperor saw it, and I got the Emperor's favor as I wished. Whether it was sincere or not, it didn't matter. I got it after all."

"I defeated you as he wished, but in the end, he still wouldn't let his eyes linger on me for even a moment."

"Actually, I knew this would happen to me when you collapsed, but I didn't expect the Emperor to be so impatient. He even paved the way for Concubine Chen before she even finished her confinement."

Wei Yu felt very sad when hearing this, but this is also the portrait of most women in the harem.

Wei Yu patted Concubine Jia's shoulder and said earnestly, "Even so, we can't do anything that harms the world."

"It's so funny, it's against the will of heaven. Haven't you done enough things like this? It's really ironic to hear such words coming out of your mouth." Concubine Jia slapped Wei Yu's hand away and laughed sarcastically, "Don't pretend in front of me. In the final analysis, we are all the same kind of people. Who is more noble than the other?"

"I'll be frank. The Emperor has been finding fault with me, both overtly and covertly, lately, just to take back the power in my hands. Today, I deliberately fell into the Emperor's trap. Naturally, I'm looking for you as well."

"Looking for me?" Wei Yu asked a soul-searching question.

In the book, their relationship is one of sarcastic remarks whenever they meet. Would Concubine Jia go to Chengming Palace specifically to find Queen Wei?

This sounds outrageous.

"I have a way to get the emperor to release you from here, provided you are willing to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Wei Yu shook his head firmly, "It's nice here, I don't really want to go out. If I could leave the palace, that would be a different story."

"Leaving the palace? That's a pretty bold idea." Concubine Jia continued to persuade him, "Don't be so hasty to refuse. There are no eternal enemies or eternal friends in this world. People who come together for profit can also become enemies for profit."

Concubine Jia stood up, holding onto the armrests of Wei Yu's chair with both hands, and whispered in her ear, "Concubine Chen, I must get rid of you..."

Bah bah bah bah...

Wei Yu couldn't hear the next word clearly, his mind was filled with the faint scent of powder on Concubine Jia's body.

I never thought that there would be a day when I would be hit by a chair, and by a femme fatale at that.

The little heart thumped.

It's about to be finished, and I feel like I need to change my base midway.

Si Muzhen's arrogant face appeared in Wei Yu's mind, "No, you don't want to."

Wei Yu shuddered and Concubine Jia pushed him away.

"You don't need to say more. Anyway, I still say the same thing: I will not do anything that harms others or morality. I am no longer the same person as I was yesterday."

What does what Queen Wei did before have to do with me, Wei Yu?

"You don't hold out hope for the Emperor, do you? Naive! Wake up, former Empress." Concubine Jia pointed her slender finger in the direction of the council hall. "That man only has eyes for Concubine Chen. We are not even ants in his eyes."

Concubine Jia seems to be going crazy after her fans have turned against her.

It turns out that the emperor and others are all pigs. A good person has been forced into this state.

"Actually, if you want to survive in the harem, you don't need to be favored or cling to the Queen Mother. Isn't it enough to live well with the Queen Mother's protection?"

Concubine Jia sneered, "Humph, hasn't the Queen Mother taken care of you and protected you since you entered the palace? What's going on now? Aren't you still deposed?"

That was Queen Wei's own fault.

Wei Yu finally realized that Concubine Jia had reached a dead end and her mental state seemed a little crazy. Wei Yu considered whether to introduce her to the imperial psychologist who studied micro-expressions, who might be able to enlighten her.

"There is a doctor in the Imperial Medical Bureau who likes to study people's expressions and psychology. I think you can meet her. Maybe your mood will suddenly become brighter." Wei Yu said weakly.

"Doctor, do you think I'm sick? That's ridiculous. I think you could take a look at your brain. You're as stupid as a pig."

Wei Yu didn't want to waste any more time dealing with this person. "You took my kindness for granted. Well, go away. I won't go along with you."

Concubine Jia took a deep breath, turned back into her charming self, and said with a smile: "You will regret your decision today. Goodbye, if you can still get out."

Crazy, it's really crazy. Is this person really not schizophrenic?

"Silver orchid."

"Miss, what are your orders?"

"What was the name of the doctor who treated me on the day I was deposed?"

"Miss, are you feeling unwell? You always feel uncomfortable when you meet Concubine Jia alone. I shouldn't have let you stay alone for such a long time today." Yinlan felt very guilty.

Wei Yu narrowed his eyes, something was wrong.

"I feel uncomfortable when we meet alone? Tell me more."

"Every time you and Concubine Jia were alone in the same space for a short time, you would feel dizzy and want to vomit, and you would also have night sweats. I've consulted the imperial physician before, but they couldn't figure out the cause."

"Every time?"

"Yes, without exception, every time."

Wei Yu, who had watched countless palace fighting dramas, immediately thought of the fragrance on Concubine Jia's body. She seemed to have really felt dizzy when Concubine Jia knocked her onto the chair just now.

"Does Concubine Jia always have this scent on her body?" Wei Yu asked.

"I know the answer to this question." Bai Shuyang was assigned to move the door he had kicked down, and he just happened to hear them talking about the fragrance on Concubine Jia's body.

"My sister told me that Concubine Jia often has a strange fragrance on her body, a faint one. Because the emperor really dislikes the scent of cosmetics, he rarely summons Concubine Jia."

"Wow...is this melon real?" Wei Yu asked excitedly.

Bai Shuyang patted his chest and assured, "It couldn't be more true. My sister told me this herself."

"By the way, who is your sister?"

"Ah? My sister is Concubine Hui."

Sorry, that's rude.

Wei Yu only knew that Bai Shuyang was the youngest son of Bai Liancheng, the first-class official. He didn't expect that Bai Shuyang also had an elder sister who was a royal concubine.

I'm really sorry for always treating you as an enemy.

Bai Shuyang looked at Wei Yu as if he were a heartless man, "No way, when you were abandoned, my sister even pleaded for you, huh, you are so ungrateful."

Yinlan looked at Bai Shuyang with a sharp look, and Bai Shuyang immediately became timid.

Wei Yu smiled awkwardly, "Wasn't I dragged away by the eunuch before your sister pleaded for me? Didn't you see? Thank your sister for me."

Yinlan also helped explain, "It's not my young lady's fault that she doesn't remember Concubine Hui. She's been losing her memory ever since she fainted on the day she was deposed. When she woke up, she didn't even remember Yinsheng. She even asked me who Doctor Wen was just now."

Bai Shuyang's eyes changed from resentment to pity in an instant.

Wei Yu: “…”

No need to thank me.

Liqing Palace

Concubine Jia lay on her side on the Luohan bed with her eyes closed to rest.

Eunuch Liu tiptoed over and stood beside Concubine Jia.

"Is everything done?"

"Yes, within two days, Your Majesty will be able to see the body."

"Ah."
