Empress, please respect yourself

Ji Yu came up from the bottom, so she naturally has a deep understanding of human nature.

She didn't have any doubts about what Chen Yao said.

"Please, Concubine Chen, save my empress!"

Ji Yu kowtowed solemnly.

"Okay, tell your story."

Ji Yu didn't hesitate any longer, and revealed the truth behind this incident.

Chen Yao nodded repeatedly.

At the same time, he did not forget to ask Ji Yu back: "Do you think this incident was done by Princess Zhaoyun alone?"

Ji Yu's heart skipped a beat, with an ominous premonition.

But I still couldn't believe it: "What does Concubine Chen mean by this?"

"I don't mean anything in this palace. I just want to ask you a question. Do you think that in this palace, a princess' power can really turn her hands into clouds and rain? So much so that she can overwhelm the current queen, and even take the queen away?"

The enlightening words made Ji Yu feel chills all over his body.

"I beg Concubine Chen to give me some guidance."

Ji Yu bowed and bowed down.

She knew that at this moment, Chen Yao came here not just to watch the excitement.After all, the hustle and bustle of the harem is not something one can just watch casually, and one might get burned if one is not careful.About this point, she doesn't believe that Chen Yao doesn't know.

Perhaps, the person in front of him is the only one among the masters who is willing to save the empress.

Of course, what is the reason behind this, Ji Yu doesn't want to delve into it at the moment.

Anyway, no matter what the reason is, it's good to be able to rescue your own master.

Seeing Ji Yu like this, Chen Yao stopped showing off, and said solemnly: "The only way for the current one to do harm to your mother is probably to pull that one down."

Ji Yu was startled.

She naturally understood who Chen Yao was referring to as "the current one".

pull him down?Isn't that...

Seeing Ji Yu's expression, Chen Yao was not surprised, she just sneered and said: "If not, who can save people from him? You know, in the whole world, there is no king; Wangchen. But the king asked the minister to die, so he had to die or something."

Ji Yu was dumbfounded.

That's right, as long as this world is still dominated by that person, where can the person he wants to deal with escape? !

"But……"

She still hesitated.

Although he is not considered a foolish and loyal person to the monarch, but as a loyal servant for so many years, he has already been trained to be obedient in everything.Sudden rebellion or something, she dare not think about.

"You don't have much time to think about it. If you delay for a while, the empress will die."

Ji Yu took a deep breath.

She had to believe Chen Yao's words.

If it weren't for the current emperor who wanted to deal with the queen, how could the empress of a country suddenly disappear?Who would have such a skill!

Moreover, if this matter hadn't been approved by the emperor, why didn't he come to ask why.

Yes, she has been imprisoned for four full days, but the emperor has been ignoring this, which is not normal at all.

In this way, there is only one possibility, that is, the emperor approved or even participated in the whole matter.

"But, I'm still locked up, what can I do?"

Finally, Ji Yu gritted her teeth and asked.

Seeing Ji Yu's attitude, Chen Yao finally nodded and said with relief, "Sister Empress is so blessed to have a loyal servant like you."

Ji Yu didn't care about these compliments, just waiting for the other party's answer.

Chen Yao smiled: "Since there is nothing you can do about being locked up, then go out."

"What did you say?"

Ji Yu naturally knew that if he wanted to make a difference, he had to go out first, but the key was how to get out? !

Chen Yao smiled and said confidently: "Don't worry, you can go out naturally with Bengong here."

Ji Yu frowned in doubt.

This Chen Yao has neither the status of a queen nor the dignity of a concubine, what ability can she have to persuade the emperor to change his mind and let her go? !

Seeing Ji Yu's expression, Chen Yao felt a little embarrassed: "Hey, little girl, don't look down on me, although I'm not a favorite concubine, but I have brains!"

The expression on Ji Yu's face was half-belief.

Chen Yao's black line: "It's actually very simple for you to go out, just take me as a hostage."

Originally, she wanted to show off her intelligence, but now that she was suspected, she couldn't help but speak out first.

However, Ji Yu still had some doubts on his face.

The meaning is obvious: do you have such a big face?

"Hey!" Chen Yao felt that her self-esteem had been deeply insulted, "Don't underestimate me! Although I am not an important person, neither my status nor my position in the emperor's heart is important. But after all, I I'm a concubine, and I have a family behind me, the emperor will not leave me alone."

Ji Yu still looked skeptical: With the little family behind you, would the emperor be afraid?

"Hello..." Chen Yao said with dead eyes, "Can you use your brain to think about it? This palace has already lost a queen first, and then lost a concubine. Doesn't the emperor want face? Besides, even if he doesn't want face , What will the people of the world think that day? He will not ignore the overall situation!"

Ji Yu was finally moved.

Yes, the emperor doesn't care about the life and death of these harem women, but if the overall situation is involved, he can't ignore it.

"Oh, don't worry, he is the most hypocritical. He always likes to act like a benevolent king in front of others. If you catch me and force him to submit, he will not ignore my life in front of everyone."

Ji Yu was finally moved.

For this, she still knows.

In these years, although she did not have any contact with the emperor in terms of status, she did meet the emperor many times while serving Xie Changan, especially because Xie Changan ate the emperor to death, so she knew the emperor's identity Featured.

Although Xie Changan has indulged in these years, he has never really gone crazy.Everything she does has a bottom line, and to judge where these bottom lines are, one must comprehensively consider the character of the emperor, so as to know oneself and the enemy.

Of course, begging for Lan Jinyu has crossed the bottom line.It was Xie Changan's stubborn gamble.

But no matter what, Ji Yu was used to the dealings between her own empress and the emperor, so Ji Yu also somewhat understood the emperor's weakness.

Face is his biggest weakness.

Since ancient times, emperors have wanted fame, and Xuanyuan Lie is different.

Even, because the throne was not easy to come by, Xuanyuan Lie cared more about his reputation than ordinary emperors.

"Okay, that's what we'll do."

Ji Yu finally said.

So, Chen Yao rolled her eyes and leaned over.

Ji Yu clasped Chen Yao's neck, then mobilized her internal strength, and shouted to the outside: "Come on! Come on!"

Because of Chen Yao's order, the guards had gone far away.

——Although she is not favored, she is a concubine anyway, and she is a senior official.Besides, no one in this harem is favored, who knows what's going on?What if the emperor changed his sex one day and came back to pamper these harem women?Who knows who he will favor!

Therefore, it is better not to blame anyone.

Anyway, Concubine Chen just wanted to see the prisoner and chat with her.The women in the palace like to watch each other's death. If someone is locked up, another so-and-so will come to "visit" and ridicule him.For these, the guards have long been used to it.

Unexpectedly, trouble would come out today.

Then they remembered: Ji Yu knows martial arts!

That's it.

"Let me out! Or I'll kill her!"

Ji Yu clasped the hostage in his hands, looking around vigilantly.

People around are very angry.

What's going on here?

It's over, how should I explain to the higher-ups when things have become like this?

Either way, things have to be reported.The precious life of a concubine is not something they can hide.

After a while, Xuanyuanlie really came, his face as black as the bottom of a pot: "Ji Yu, you don't want to live anymore? How dare you hold the imperial concubine hostage!"

Ji Yu snorted coldly: "Can I live if I don't take hostage?"

Xuanyuan Lie didn't speak.

Indeed, he hadn't intended to let Ji Yu live.For Xie Changan's matter, he has already let her take the blame.

But, how would this girl know?

It seems that "a strong general has no weak soldiers", Xie Chang'an has been so arrogant all his life, he always considers himself a dead man at every step, and the maids he teaches are not easy.

"How can you let Concubine Chen go?"

Xuanyuanlie knew the truth of "family ugliness should not be publicized" best, so he didn't intend to entangle Ji Yu about this matter.What he wants right now is Ji Yu's release.

He has decided that once Ji Yu releases her, he will kill her on the spot.

It has always been a wise saying that nights are long and dreams are many.

If it wasn't for Princess Zhaoyun's insistence on keeping Ji Yu, he would have killed her long ago and settled the case.

Therefore, since ancient times, women have not been able to achieve great things, because the benevolence of these women is not worth it!

At this moment, he has decided to kill Ji Yu on the spot, just wait until she is coaxed to release Concubine Chen first.

Just as Chen Yao expected, he didn't want the palace to have concubines murdered one after another.What's more, in such a large audience, he couldn't ignore Concubine Chen's life.

"Your Majesty, no matter what other servants you want, I just hope that the Emperor will let you go out."

Xuanyuan Lie pondered: "Now that the queen is missing, as her confidant, you should have stayed to help solve the case. If you leave, how will I find the queen?"

Ji Yu sneered.

Whether the Queen's disappearance has anything to do with her or not, I'm afraid the Emperor knows better than anyone else.

Of course, she didn't want to point it out.At this time, pointing it out in front of everyone will only force Xuanyuan Lie to kill someone to silence him.

So, she took a deep breath and repeated: "This servant has nothing to ask for, I just hope that the emperor will let this servant go out."

"You are gone, how can I find my queen?"

"The servant has nothing else to ask for, I just hope that the emperor will let the servant go out."

She didn't point out any hypocrisy of the emperor, she just wanted to leave.Act like you don't know what's going on and just want to leave to save your life.

Xuanyuanlie's eyes were sharp, and he sized up Ji Yu.

Ji Yu made a trembling look on purpose, and repeated: "Your servant only wants the emperor to let you out."

This appearance already looks like a person who is out-and-out greedy for life and afraid of death.

Finally, Xuanyuan Lie snorted from his nostrils: "Get out!"

Ji Yu was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Majesty! If that's the case, I have to ask Concubine Chen to go with the slaves once, and when I send the slaves to a safe place, I will let the maids come back."

"Bold! I have promised to let you go, and you still dare to bargain!"

Xuanyuanlie was furious.

What he hated most in his life was bargaining with him.

However, Ji Yu's bargaining went a step further: "Also, please ask the emperor to prepare 100 taels of gold for the servants, so that the servants can live outside the palace in the future."

"you……"

Xuanyuan was extremely angry.

But after thinking about it, listening to the maid's tone, she doesn't plan to come back to this muddy water again, she just wants to live the rest of her life in peace.

So, that's fine.In the future, if she can be caught, she will be caught and killed; if she can't be caught, she won't come back and spoil her own affairs.

So, he waved his hand: "Give it to her!"

The personal eunuch who always came behind him immediately went to fetch the gold.

Ji Yu held onto Concubine Chen and left the palace step by step.

When he was far away, Ji Yu listened intently, making sure that no pursuers followed, and then released Concubine Chen.

Concubine Chen stretched her waist a lot: "Ahhh - I'm exhausted. You too, you just have to make up your mind. Why are you so serious? I suspect that there are bruises on my neck."

Ji Yu was a little apologetic: "I'm sorry. I was also afraid that they would hurt you if they saw the flaw, so I did all the acting."

"Oh, forget it." Chen Yao waved her hand, expressing that she didn't mind.But he frowned and touched the bruise on his neck, "I just hope Mingxia doesn't misunderstand that it was planted by someone else."

"..."
