The Empress Behind the Veil
Chapter 931
“Nona Wushuang, to be honest, even though I haven't known you for a long time but I always felt that you were much better than my cousin's sister. But the harem is very dangerous, it is not enough if it is only good, you also have to be vigilant. Now that you are the new person dear to the Emperor, he is jealous of you.”
Oi! I am an article!
Ye Wushuang and Yangui, out of sympathy so they accompanied Consort Zhen to sit for a while there.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Zhen even told of all the ugliness as well as the bad deeds done by Zhao Xueyan in a single breath.
Oi! I am an article!
Ye Wushuang and Yangui gestured to each other, they did not interrupt much.
“You see, my face even hurts when I talk. This Zhao Xueyan was truly ruthless. Wasted my hard work for her all these years.” Despite not getting a response from the two, but Consort Zhen who was acting there did not feel bored at all. He cursed and cursed Zhao Xueyan angrily for a while, then pulled Ye Wushuang and Yangui to examine her injuries, he even almost talked about Zhao Xueyan to the point of vileness.
Yangui looked at her the look of her bruised body, it didn't seem like she was pretending, Yangui then said coldly: “She treated you like this, why didn't you leave her?”
Concubine Zhen bit her lips dejectedly and said while tearful: “You think I don't want to? Who told her to be Highness Consort Zhao of high status? Who told him to accept the Emperor's love? These few years, after Queen Qin was defeated, it was she who had power over the harem. It seems like he is already going to become the owner of the harem, how can I fight to fight against him? If not for him treating me like this today, I even planned to swallow all of this for the rest of my life.”
Oi! I am an article!
Ye Wushuang rolled her eyeballs, then looked at her fixedly and said: “Then why are you making her mad?”
“I?” Ye Wushuang was surprised, a grin flashed across her eyes.
Concubine Zhen nodded and said: “Nona is the first person in the harem who dares to oppose Consort Noble Zhao. Yesterday, Majesty Consort Zhao looked like he was giving a lesson to the Palace maids in front of everyone, but he actually wanted to give you a threat. But Miss turned out to be not afraid at all, it really amazed me. So therefore I have the courage to fight with Consort Noble Zhao today.”
“Oh, you even learned from Miss?” Yangui replied with a slight mocking tone. Thinking of Concubine Zhen's arrogant face yesterday, the difference was truly too great when compared to today.
“Making you guys see jokes.” Concubine Zhen lowered her face dejectedly, then wiped her tears with a silk handkerchief.
“Concubine Zhen, actually I am not against Consort Zhao. I'm just being myself. All of you are afraid of him, and again I am just a person with no status and name, I am just a person who has no position in the Palace, how can I be his opponent? Perhaps Consort Zhao is only merciful to me now, maybe one day.” Speaking up to here, Ye Wushuang deliberately stopped her speech. Ye Wushuang smiled deeply and said nothing more.
Seeing that, Consort Zhen hurriedly said: “How could Miss Wushuang think like that? Actually, your face is no worse than my cousin's. And again the Emperor has the intention to keep you in the Palace, it shows that you have a position in the heart of the Emperor. Even if you don't have a title now, it's still not necessarily later on.”
“Thank you Concubine Zhen for looking so high at me, but I'm self-conscious.”
“Nona Ye, this expression of yours, do you feel that I am lying to you?”
“Where might I dare? I just feel like I'm still unfamiliar with Concubine Zhen's sudden change in attitude towards me.”
Concubine Zhen's expression turned grim, she showed a very sad expression and said: “Actually I used to always show an arrogant attitude as well because I was helpless. Miss Wushuang, you do not know the cruelty in the Palace, if you do not pretend to be a bad person then you will be trampled on the soles of the feet of others. I don't want to be like that, slowly even I also realize that this myself is very terrible.” After Consort Zhen finished speaking, he wiped his tears again, that pitiful look as if feeling ashamed of himself.
