The Empress Behind the Veil

Chapter 120 No Friend Is Forever

Qin Ruojiu knew this weak-looking Zhao Yuanran was actually a strong woman. For the sake of the person he wanted to protect, he would definitely try his utmost to do so. His son is very important to him, even more important than his own life. At that time he could do that because he was also in a sad time. Although from the start he had already not considered this matter in his heart, but after that incident, between him and Zhao Yuanran there was a wall separating them.

“Alright, as long as you understand it is enough. We don't have to question a problem that has passed. That's not good for anyone.”

Zhao Yuanran looked pleased and asked gently, “Then you won't be hostile towards me anymore right? You're sorry for me, right?”

Qin Ruojiu simply nodded her head and did not say anything. Sometimes, there are better words buried forever in the heart. Like what his father told him. In the palace, there are no friends forever. There is only a fight for profit.

Seeing Qin Ruojiu who had forgiven him, Zhao Yuanran also looked so cheerful and immediately clasped his hands while chatting with him.

Then, he turned their conversation towards Consort Lan. When discussing Concubine Lan, she smiled coldly and said, “That woman's design, now that she remembers her harming my son to death, then letting sister suffer like that. If he died thousands of times it was indeed appropriate for him.”

Qin Ruojiu also looked at Zhao Yuanran who was gritting his teeth and his bitter expression that was about to swallow Concubine Lan alive. His expression made the person who saw him a little frightened.

Qin Ruojiu took out her hand from Zhao Yuanran's grasp slowly and said, “Sister Yuanran, now Consort Lan is still alive or dead no one knows, why are you still thinking about him? He, must have also regretted his actions, the suffering he felt must not be much different from us.”

Zhao Yuanran laughed coldly and said, “Sister, your heart is too soft, you are too kind. But, I just heard him say for your sake Emperor Zhaolie got rid of Concubine Lan, does it really exist?”

“Really?” Zhao Yuanran was a little suspicious. After all, Consort Lan was the most beloved concubine by Emperor Zhaolie. If only Emperor Zhaolie had really done that for the sake of this woman in front of him, wouldn't it be so strange? Emperor Zhaolie didn't hate him so much? Why did she turn out to be nice to him lately, to the point that everyone felt like Emperor Zhaolie wanted to become queen?

“En!” Although he did not know what Zhao Yuanran was thinking in his heart, he still answered with confidence.

At the moment Zhao Yuanran seemed to still be unsatisfied and he continued asking, “Kakak, these two days Emperor Zhaolie is staying at your place well?”

Upon hearing the question, Qin Ruojiu's face immediately turned red and she looked the other way and did not dare to look directly at Zhao Yuanran.

Seeing Qin Ruojiu's complicated and unusual eyes, Zhao Yuanran seemed to know something.

“Sister Yuanran, it is true that Emperor Zhaolie came to my place, but you guys don't misunderstand me. He came not because he was the same attention I was, but because there was another reason!”

Slowly, Qin Ruojiu began to know what purpose Zhao Yuanran came to look for today. He must have wanted to know how Emperor Zhaolie had behaved towards him. But Qin Ruojiu did not want to enter in his battle and only informed him deignly. He was not the person that Emperor Zhaolie wanted.

“En? Did ya? Emperor Zhaolie came looking for you, is this good news, is there any other reason? Zhao Yuanran asked in disbelief.
