The Empress Behind the Veil

Chapter 231 Think For the Queen's Sakes

Those words could not be said carelessly, a little not careful then the life of the bet, so the remark could be forgotten, he should assume he had never heard it before. If that is true, then how dangerous it is for the Empress as well as Kak Lu’er and the others.

If based on the temperament and cruel nature of Emperor Zhaolie, if Emperor Zhaolie knew his biological sister was taking away the woman he loved, she was afraid that this entire country of Kangqing would be shaken.

Betrayed by the two closest people by his side at the same time, that kind of feeling was much more painful than death!

As if already estimating the reaction of the two little girls, Qin Ruojiu seemed to appear calm and gentle, under the approving eyes of Lu’er, Qin Ruojiu nodded gently and said a word that shocked Xiao Huan and Yan’er.

“True!”

The word made them fall into the abyss. Their faces were pale and hard to breathe. After all, they were now facing a choice between life and death.

Easy decision, it is related to life and death both.

“Xiao Huan, Yan’er, you also know that the Empress treats you like her own brother. The Empress has saved you many times. As long as you serve her, the Empress has never been arrogant and has never lost her temper, not treating you as subordinates. This time the Empress wanted to leave as well because she was forced to. No matter what outsiders think of the Empress, we don't care, but you should know what kind of person the Empress is. The Empress left this time, it was not eloping, the Empress was only pursuing her own happiness and freedom. On the Emperor's side, you have also seen the Emperor's cruelty and coldness. The Empress is dear now, but by the nature of the Emperor, we do not know how long this condition can last. Even the Empress herself did not know. As the saying goes, man does not always have a good day, nor do flowers always bloom. One day, if the Emperor was tired of the Empress, then the late Empress would probably be Consort Lan's next. Therefore, the Empress chose to leave, it is not selfish, nor do you blame the Empress, if the Empress is truly selfish, then the Empress will not tell you about this. The Empress could leave secretly, later when the Emperor asked, The empress has absolutely no responsibility. The reason why now the Empress took the risk to tell you is because in the Empress' heart, you have become a family, the Empress considers the safety of your life more important than her own. Even if you are not willing to leave, you consider it for the sake of the Empress.”

Qin Ruojiu did not expect Lu’er to help herself like this, not expecting inwardly it turned out that Lu’er thought of her like that. Qin Ruojiu's heart was deeply moved. His eyes turned red and looked at Lu’er with a slight teasing.

Lu’er nodded at Qin Ruojiu, hinting for Qin Ruojiu to be a little more steadfast.

At this moment, Xiao Huan suddenly said in a choked manner: “The Empress is indeed very good to us, but if it goes ... if the Emperor knows then the consequences will be ..”

Not waiting for Xiao Huan to finish speaking, Lu’er had already interjected in a loud voice: “This matter is now only known to us and the 9th Prince, there will be no second person to know, as long as you don't speak, until tomorrow night of course no one will know. If you are afraid, you can still follow the Empress after leaving the Palace. If you want to find a life of your own, the Empress will also give you a little money to use.”

Hearing that remark, Xiao Huan's head grew even deeper and deeper. Xiao Huan only remained silent, but his expression was still anxious and agitated.

Yan’er from earlier did not speak, but suddenly she raised her head, her eyes shining brightly, she said with a stern expression: “The Empress treats me well, Brother Lu’er also usually takes great care of me. Yan’er can live until now since entering the Palace, completely relying on the protection of the Empress and Kak Lu’er. Now that the Empress told us this secret, it shows how important the Empress looked at us. If Yan’er does not give the Empress a satisfactory result, then Yan’er is really very inhuman.”
