Chapter 9 Steps 3

The night owl's shining pupils shine brightly in the dark night, and with graceful catwalks, he nimbly jumps to the luxurious bedroom, and curls up in the arms of a coquettish and graceful woman, feeling very uncomfortable.

"You mean, His Majesty spent the night with Mrs. Yao tonight?"

"Go back to Madam, that's right."

Madam Ning followed the cat's back indifferently.

"Understood, you go to rest."

"Servant, please leave." The maid saluted and left, leaving her alone in the bedroom. She slapped the dressing table, scaring the sleeping cat to jump up and down.

"Why! Why is that little girl who just entered the palace okay."

In terms of seniority, she is the oldest. She married Ling Yuan when she was 13 years old. She belongs to the Guanlong family. In terms of seniority, beauty and talent, the position of queen should belong to her.

But a few years have passed, Ling Yuan has never stayed in her bedroom for a night, but the same is true for other concubines, she was comforting herself like this, but Lu Yao came out halfway.

But after the anger, there is endless sadness. She has been in the deep palace for several years, so why doesn't she want to see the world outside the palace? Is she going to be so depressed for the rest of her life?

At this time, a court lady came to report: "Madam, Madam Wan, please see me."

"What is she here for?" Madam Ning was a little surprised, and hurriedly greeted her to come in. At the same time, she tidied herself up briefly, and then a woman in plain clothes walked in.

"Sister, please forgive me for bothering you late at night."

"Please sit down quickly, there is no excuse between the sisters."

The two sat on the bed, Madam Wan must have come prepared.

"Sister, have you ever met that Mrs. Yao?"

"I've seen it a few times, it's just a little girl." She pretended not to care.

"A little girl can be loved so much by His Majesty, and my sister is well-educated and beautiful, nothing better than that little girl."

"Yes, but so what?" Mrs. Ning was a little melancholy, and Mrs. Wan deliberately pulled into the distance, her mouth pressed against Mrs. Ning's ear.

"Sister, I have a plan."

In the early morning of the next day, sunlight came in through the gaps in the barrier. The morning in July was a bit muggy, and it seemed that it was about to rain heavily.

Lu Yaoling opened her sleepy eyes, and briefly washed up.

A maid who was not in her palace came to report.

"Madam, Madam Ning would like to invite a few ladies to enjoy the lotus together. I don't know if you would appreciate it."

"Of course I went." She was worrying about how to spend the day, she had eaten breakfast, and came to the lotus pond in the palace, the sky was a bit gloomy, but it didn't affect Lu Yaoling's good mood at all.

The four wives had long been sitting on the stone bench by the river, she had only seen Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Chun, and the other two were unfamiliar.

Mrs. Ning saw her from a long distance and greeted her.

"Sister is here, sit down." Mrs. Ning took her hand to the stone bench, and several people took turns to say a few polite words, nothing more than complimenting her on her beauty and her likability.

Only that Mrs. Yin remained silent from beginning to end, like a statue.

Bean-sized raindrops fell without warning, and the rain intensified in an instant.

"Oh, it's raining, let's go over there to hide from the rain." There was a pavilion over there, but there was a staircase to go down, several people twisted up their dresses one after another, Mrs. Yin walked in the front, followed by Lu Yaoling.

The steps were so slippery that they had to walk very carefully so as not to slip. Suddenly, Lu Yaoling felt someone pushing her from behind. She lost her balance and pushed Mrs. Yin who was walking in front. .

With a scream, Mrs. Yin fell to the ground.

"Sister Yao, what are you doing?" Mrs. Ning said in surprise, Lu Yaoling hurriedly turned around and waved her hands: "I, I didn't do it on purpose."

The palace maid rushed over to inquire and helped Mrs. Yin who was lying on the ground, her forehead was covered with blood.

Lu Yaoling looked at everything in front of her in panic. The heavy rain gathered into a river, stained with bright red blood, and washed away in an instant.

Several wives were called in front of Ling Yuan, she knelt on the ground, feeling panicked.

"Concubine Ning, you said Concubine Yao overthrew Concubine Yin?"

"This... Concubine Yao may have done it unintentionally, please don't blame her majesty."

"Yeah, it's raining cats and dogs, maybe it's unintentional." Mrs. Wan agreed, and Mrs. Chun watched the two sing and reconcile without speaking.

"Concubine Yao, is what they said true?"

Lu Yaoling didn't know how to defend herself, even if she had a thousand words to her lips, there was only one word left.

"Yes."

"I see, you go down."

Mrs. Ning was obviously a little surprised, the emperor bypassed her so easily?But she couldn't say anything, so she bowed and left in a hurry.

"Concubine Yao, you stay."

Lu Yaoling stopped and watched the other three concubines leave.

"Your Majesty, I..."

"I know, you didn't mean to, so don't care."

"Madam Keyin..."

"Concubine Yin is waiting for me to go back and take care of the aftermath, that's all right, don't make a sad face."

Lu Yaoling was still a little guilty, Ling Yuan saw her mood and said, "Didn't you always want to go out to see the palace? Tomorrow, I will take you out."

"Really!?" Hearing these words, she regained her energy in an instant, and the uneasiness just disappeared. Seeing her jumping like a bunny, Ling Yuan couldn't help but smile.

The next day, Ling Yuan drove an unremarkable carriage and brought only Lu Yaoling to the outside of the palace.

The imperial city is the busiest city, with high-rise buildings and busy traffic. She looked at the outside world through the window and exclaimed repeatedly.

They came from the noisy imperial city to the quiet suburbs, and passed by the countryside. The breeze blew her hair and danced in the air.

They climbed the mountain peaks, looking at all living beings, mountains, rivers and seas, and the beauty of the sky.

"Your Majesty, I have something to hide from you."

She didn't want to hold back any more.

"Huh? What's the matter." Her eyes were still so gentle.

"Actually, I'm not Princess Lu Yao."

There was a momentary surprise in Ling Yuan's eyes.Lu Yaoling slowly told her life experience and experience without reservation.

Ling Yuan listened quietly until Lu Yaoling finished speaking.

"Would you blame me?" She raised her head and looked into Ling Yuan's eyes, her expression flustered and expectant, but Ling Yuan just smiled, as if she didn't care.

"will not."

They took advantage of the starlight to return to the palace, lying on the same bed without any words, but it made Lu Yaoling feel very beautiful.

Perhaps, the palace is not so boring.

Perhaps, she can live happily ever after.

The next morning.

She stretched her waist and yawned, and opened her hazy eyes. There was no one beside her pillow, so she should have gone to morning court.

Thinking of what happened yesterday, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, she couldn't help cheering in her heart, and she even wanted to sing a song in the next second.

"The decree has arrived!"

The eunuch's shrill voice woke her from her sweet dreams, and she rushed out to greet her, kneeling on the ground and waiting for the imperial edict to be released.

What could it be?

"Following the fate of the heavens, the emperor said, there is a wife named Lu, who has no talent or virtue, has made mistakes in her words and deeds, and framed Concubine Yin, and was demoted to a nobleman.

What?Inkyung Palace?Isn't that... Leng Gong?

She raised her head and looked at the imperial decree that symbolized the supreme power. The world seemed to become silent in an instant.She thought it was a dream and tried to wake herself up, but her knees were numb.

"Yao nobleman, don't take the order quickly." The eunuch urged, and pulled her back from the void. She shook her head with tears in her eyes, and kept muttering to herself: "Impossible, impossible!" .”

"Master Yao, don't be sad, think about your mistakes, and one day the emperor will remember the kindness of the past and call you back."

She accepted the imperial edict in a daze, and was taken to the most hidden and darkest place in the palace by the eunuchs and maids.

Although the decoration here is beautiful, it is not as gorgeous as her original bedroom, and the number of maids has been reduced from more than ten to a few. She is under house arrest here, and cannot leave the palace gate, and no one will visit her.

She was even thinking, was everything on the mountain yesterday an illusion?

Year after year, day after day, it was so long that she forgot the time, until the maid reminded her that today was her birthday.

Has she entered the palace for a year?

The palace maid made a bowl of longevity noodles, the clear soup lacked water, and it was Quan Dang's birthday.For the past year, she has no taste for anything she eats.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

While she was eating, she suddenly heard the flustered tone of the maids - she heard a sentence that should not have appeared here.

The moment Ling Yuan walked into the bedroom, tears filled her eyes, as if the embankment would burst in the next second, but she held back, without saluting or greeting, and continued to eat her bowl of longevity noodles.

"How to eat noodles?"

"Today is my birthday, and I asked them to do it for me."

Ling Yuan didn't speak, and sat opposite her.

"This year, I have suffered for you."

"It's nothing to suffer. It's good here. You have food and clothing, and you don't have to worry about anything." She deliberately didn't look at Ling Yuan, for fear that she would cry uncontrollably when she saw her eyes.

"Princess Lu Yao, I found it."

"Really, is she alright?" Her cheap sister, who disappeared after Rong Qiang was destroyed, was unexpectedly found by Ling Yuan.

"My Ling family has been cursed since ancient times that all descendants will not live to be 20 years old. Only by sacrificing the lives of blood-related women can we keep safe."

Lu Yaoling's hand holding the chopsticks froze.

"You mean, you want to sacrifice Princess Lu Yao?"

"Well, you must think that I am cruel."

Lu Yaoling shook her head, it was all for survival, no one was right or wrong, didn't she not have the slightest memory of her homeland when the Rong and Qiang were destroyed?

However, she was quite emotional.

"Now there are two roads in front of you. One road, if you continue to pretend to be Princess Lu Yao, I will make you a queen. The other road is to leave by yourself."

"What will happen to the real princess after I leave?"

"She will take your place and live on for the time being."

She didn't say a word, Ling Yuan looked at her for a while, then stood up.

"The access control has been lifted, you can take whatever you want in the palace, and the road is at your feet."

After speaking, Ling Yuan left without looking back.

Lu Yaoling sat on the spot in silence for a long time until tears fell down.

Festive and cheerful music sounded outside, and she walked out. Fireworks bloomed in the palace, which was extremely bright in the dark night.

She looked at the extremely bustling palace, and admittedly let her continue to be Lu Yao's princess, stay with Ling Yuan, and even be a queen. No one can shirk such a good thing, but she has figured it out in the past year. Not a lot.

The music was pleasant to her ears, and she sighed, looking in the direction of the palace gate.

There are a total of 690 steps from the cold palace to the palace gate.

Lu Yaoling put on the dress she wore when she first entered the palace, and stepped lightly on the white jade palace road with her cloth shoes.

In the winter of the 20th year of the Yuan Dynasty, Princess Lu Yao died of illness in the cold palace. Ling Yuan was deeply saddened, and she was named Queen Nianyao, and pardoned the world.
