"He's here! He's here to collect debts!"
After returning to his palace, Lu Wange's heart could not calm down, and he kept mumbling these words.
"What's going on, Your Majesty? Who is here to collect debts? Can't you understand what Your Majesty is saying?"
Yuexiang was confused. She didn't know what happened. She was obviously fine when she went out, but she became like this after meeting the remaining female siblings.
She looked at the leftover girl and she looked kind-hearted. What on earth is going on, empress?
Lu Wange was immersed in her own panic. She really felt guilty. It was precisely because she knew how much she owed this child that she felt deeply frightened when she saw the child for the first time!
This kid must be here to collect debt! definitely is!
"Stay back, I don't need you to serve here."
Lu Wange held her breath and bowed her hands. She couldn't panic now, she had to find out what was going on.
She only gave birth to one child, so how could that child's sister be a leftover girl? There must be something she didn't know about.
At that time, she had the thought that the child would die in the village, but she never expected that he would appear in front of her during her lifetime!
"yes."
Yuexiang could only retreat with a confused look.
Lu Wange sat weakly on the chair, and his whole body felt heavy. What should I do, what should I do?
Your Majesty trusts them so much now. If the child has any grievances, what can he do?
It's so terrible, all of this is so terrible, why did she give birth to this child, why did she give birth to this child who came to collect debts!
Lu Wange held a cup of tea with trembling hands, but she couldn't bring it to her mouth. In the end, the cup of water fell heavily to the ground, shattering the cup.
…
"Brother, what does the leftover girl your Majesty brings back from tomorrow look like? Your Majesty seems to trust her very much!"
A young girl in a pink skirt asked curiously. The golden hairpin in her hair symbolized her status as a rich lady.
"I heard that His Majesty brought it back when he was in Sioux City. It was said that the horse's hooves were about to step on His Majesty. It was the saint who jumped up and saved His Majesty's life. She also pointed out corrupt officials in the court. She is indeed quite capable. .”
A young man in brocade clothes answered his sister's questions with a smile on his face. His eyes were filled with admiration as he spoke. He was also quite curious about the leftover girl.
At first, he also suspected that this was just a nonsense, but His Majesty allowed the fairy siblings to live in the Xuanji Palace, so that everyone who saw the saint sisters and sisters had to bow and kneel down. It seemed that this was truly a tribute to the saint. high position.
"But I think it's nothing more than that. People say that the leftover girl is very good-looking. She will probably be in His Majesty's harem in the future!"
Wei Shu raised her head condescendingly, a little disdainful of the leftover girl. There are countless beautiful concubines in His Majesty's harem, and it is estimated that the leftover girl will be one of them in the future!
"Why did Shu'er say that?"
Wei Zhao was a little unhappy. What his sister said was really insulting to the saint. What's more, it was obvious that His Majesty had no such intention towards the leftover woman. On the contrary, he sincerely respected her.
"Brother, whichever woman Your Majesty likes, you will naturally give that woman everything you have. They say that the leftover girl is extremely beautiful. I am afraid that His Majesty arranged all this for the leftover girl just to coax her!"
Wei Shu seemed to say these words deliberately out of anger. She didn't understand what was going on in her heart, she just felt a little uneasy.
She always felt that something was wrong with the leftover girl. When she heard this title, her heart suddenly moved.
Just like when I heard the news seven years ago, I had slowly forgotten that feeling over the years, but when I heard the name "Shengnu", I suddenly remembered it again.
"Shu'er, it's okay to say these words in front of me. You are not allowed to say disrespectful words to the remaining women in front of outsiders. In any case, His Majesty trusts her very much at the moment. He even said it himself, except for His Majesty and the Queen, no one can see her You have to bow to the leftover woman, you should have guessed how important she is in His Majesty’s heart, right?”
Wei Zhao patted Wei Shu on the shoulder. He didn't know what kind of anger his sister was having, but he just thought it was because she was young and ignorant. It didn't matter if she said the wrong thing at home, but he should be more careful when going out.
"Brother, don't worry, I know what's appropriate!"
Wei Shu nodded, but her thoughts were still a little confused. The most important thing was that she didn't know what was going on, and she didn't know where to start if she wanted to solve it.
"If my sister is really curious, why don't you go with me some time later when my mother goes to the palace to pay her respects to the Queen? You might be lucky enough to meet the saint."
Wei Zhao could tell that his sister seemed a little unhappy, so he might as well go see her in person and find out.
"Um."
Wei Shu nodded absently. She didn't care what the leftover woman looked like, she just hated this uneasy feeling.
But this is fine, let her go and see it in person, and see what the leftover woman is like, and what she is capable of to gain such trust from His Majesty!
Suddenly, she thought of that day many years ago, when she learned that she was not the real lady of the Duke's Mansion, and she felt her heart suddenly tightened.
So recently, this feeling of being entangled has returned to her again.
"Brother." Wei Shu suddenly panicked and reached out to hold Wei Zhao's hand. "Will I always be my brother's sister? Will I always be the daughter of the Duke of this country?"
She didn't know what was wrong, but she was suddenly so afraid of losing everything. Why did she go to find her parents that day? Why did she need to know the news?
It was better to let her live in confusion for the rest of her life, but now that she knew the news, it was like there was a crack in her heart.
I can never make up for it, I have this kind of worry and fear all the time, and this fear has reached its peak during this period.
"Sister, what nonsense are you talking about? Of course you are my sister forever, and you will always be the young lady in this house!"
Wei Zhao smiled strangely. He didn't know what was wrong with his sister, who had been in pain since childhood. Why did she say such strange nonsense?
"I had a nightmare last night. I dreamed that I was no longer a member of this family. My father, mother, and brother no longer wanted me. When I think about it now, I feel scared."
Wei Shu lowered her head and made up an excuse. In fact, she was really afraid of all this, because she knew clearly that none of this actually belonged to her. She had occupied other people's lives.
In fact, she was somewhat distracted, and it was easy to recall anything.
"What a fool. You will always be my sister. You are just a nightmare. Don't take it to heart!"
Wei Zhao couldn't help but laugh, and reached out to pat Wei Shu's head. This was the sister he had loved since childhood. How could she not be from this family?
Wei Shu could only squeeze out a smile. Although she said this, she was the only one who understood what she was worried about.
She herself found it quite strange, why did she feel uneasy and fearful when she heard about the leftover woman? Who is this leftover woman and what is her background?
The uneasiness in my heart gradually deepened.
…
"The most right thing I did in my life was to bring the Saint back to the palace. With the Saint, many things can be solved easily, and the corrupt officials in the court who fish in troubled waters can be found out. Now the whole court is clear." few!"
The emperor loved to come to Xuanji Palace in his spare time. Ever since he had Tao Yao, everything had become extremely simple and easy. No matter what, let Tao Yao figure it out.
You should be glad that you brought Tao Yao back so easily. This must be a gift from God to you!
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be polite. We have to thank Your Majesty for treating us with courtesy and giving us so much honor. We should do these things!"
Tao Yao was watching Lu Chen prepare the elixirs. In fact, the emperor kept his word and gave them enough honor. It was indeed comfortable to live in this palace.
Since the emperor is so trustworthy, she naturally has to help him deal with the affairs in the palace, not to mention those ministers in the court who are fishing in troubled waters, she is an eyesore.
Lu Chen was studying his medicine quietly. Even if the person standing in front of him was the emperor, there was still no reaction.
In fact, after seeing that woman that day, although his heart beat violently, it was nothing more than that, as if he realized that Rong Fei was that woman!
It doesn't seem to be a big deal. At most, I am curious about how this appearance became so good-looking, how he has been favored by His Majesty for so many years, and what the secret is.
In fact, he thought that his heart would be filled with hatred, but he didn't expect that it was nothing more than that. Compared with this hatred, he just wanted to be quietly by his sister's side.
It was strange. She suddenly felt that everything she had encountered as a child was nothing. She could only feel the joy of having her sister by her side. This was more important than anything else.
"Why does Your Majesty always like to come to us these days? I remember that there is a very beautiful Concubine Rong in His Majesty's harem. I have heard about this Empress when I was among the people. Why hasn't Your Majesty gone to see her recently? Where is she?"
Tao Yao deliberately brought the topic to Lu Wa Ge. Lu Wa Ge had enjoyed a life of glory and wealth for so many years with this skin, which was considered worthwhile.
"Rong Fei is naturally beautiful, but sometimes I feel a little uneasy in my heart. This woman's beauty is indeed an advantage, but everyone will grow old. Looking at Rong Fei's beauty that has remained the same for decades, I always feel... It’s so false, but I can’t tell what’s wrong with it!”
The emperor lowered his head and looked thoughtful. He was completely relaxed in front of the Taoyao sisters and was willing to tell the truth about what was in his heart.
He did like beauties, but the lack of any changes in them day after day made him feel a little strange.
What's more, at this age, Rong Fei is still so beautiful. I really don't know what method was used in private. Could it be that some kind of foxy magic was really used?
Suddenly the emperor's eyes lit up. Isn't there a leftover woman beside him? Can he let the leftover woman see where Rong Fei came from?
Taoyao smiled slightly, she guessed that the emperor could not have any doubts in his heart.
In fact, Lu Wange was also smart but was misled by his cleverness. No one could maintain their beauty for such a long time and still be as beautiful as a girl in middle age. The emperor had already become suspicious and was just waiting for him to ask.
Lu Chen acted as if he didn't hear anything. It was none of his business and he didn't care about it.
