The Empress Behind the Veil
Chapter 571 Begging the Queen Mother to Exit the Palace
Oi! I am an article!
Previously, his in-laws and son-in-law also chatted well for several hours. Ye Wushuang was also filled with energy, always having endless topics of conversation to please the queen mother. But now, after chatting for half an hour he had already yawned. His bright eyes no longer shone like they used to. He always looked exhausted.
Looking at the dark circles under her beautiful eyes, the queen mother asked worriedly, “Why didn't you sleep well yesterday? Look at your eye circles, it's as black as pot dust.”
Oi! I am an article!
Ye Wushuang smiled guiltily and blinked her eyes in shame, “Yesterday night I slept too late.”.
“Really?” The Queen Mother responded lightly. Thinking about the recent events, he understood Ye Wushuang's condition and pressure. He sighed sadly, “Though Consort Zhen's matter the Emperor was indeed favoritism, but he had also been severely punished. Empress Qin, don't blame me for not being able to do this and not being able to uphold justice for you. It's just that, somehow the emperor in the past two years has become increasingly difficult to understand. Sometimes his thinking is too extreme, even I can't persuade him.”
Looking at the hair of the queen mother who had almost turned white these few days, how could Ye Wushuang not know that the queen mother was worrying about her? Currently Ye Wushuang shook her head with gratitude, “Mother Suri has already done quite a lot for me, I am already very satisfied.”
The more she said this, the more the Queen Mother felt uneasy, “Good child, I can't help the others. But if there's anything you need, say it and I'll definitely agree.”
Oi! I am an article!
Hearing this, Ye Wushuang could no longer hide the sadness and fear in her heart. He immediately rose to his feet, kneeling before the Queen Mother under everyone's eyes.
The Queen Mother panicked to see him, her eyes narrowed and she leaned forward as she said, “Good son, what are you doing?”
“Could you?”
“True, please Queen Mother let me out of the palace.”
“Exit from palace..”
The Queen Mother was initially surprised to hear this, her eyes were empty for a while and finally seemed helpless.
It took a long time for the Queen Mother to lift her delicate eyes, looking at Ye Wushuang as if she wanted to see it thoroughly. But looking at Ye Wushuang's clear eyes and stubbornness, it took a while for her before saying slowly, “Nak, are you sure of what you said?”
Although life in the palace is vicious and dangerous, but the wealth and honor enjoyed is the thing pursued by many women. The women who didn't get it almost competed until their heads broke to be by the emperor's side. Sometimes even if they have to pay with their lives, they have to try it too.
Ye Wushuang followed under the body of the Queen Mother and held the hand of the Queen Mother with no heart. Her eyes are full of strong will, “Mother Suri, please help me. Being in the palace for so many years, I've seen too many intrigue, traps, and rivalries within the palace. I'm tired, I don't want to compete with them anymore and I can't fight them either. Now I just want to go back home, spend the rest of my life with my old father. My days in the Cold Palace, may have broken my father's heart.”
Speaking up to here, Ye Wushuang shed tears from the bottom of her heart. Coincidentally the tears fell on the back of the Queen Mother's skinny hand. At the same time, those crystal-clear tears also made the Queen Mother's heart burn and hurt.
The Queen Mother wiped Ye Wushuang's tears gracefully, comforting gently, “Nak, I am indeed incompetent and cannot help you win your own place in the palace. Maybe just getting out of the palace is the best way for you. Only, your appearance is already broken. How can you live well after getting out of the palace?”
True, the damage to Ye Wushuang's beauty had been well known throughout the dynasty. Not a few people in the palace were secretly talking and laughing behind it. But with the grandeur of the Queen Mother and the identity of Empress Qin, those people did not dare to be too blatant. If he were to leave the palace and lose this status, wouldn't their immoral words be as painful as a sharp knife?
