Chapter 380 She Turned Evil
News of Song Siyao's visit to the palace to treat Shen You's illness reached the Moon Palace.
Consort Yue was resting on a chaise lounge.
"Your Majesty, I heard that the young prince's illness has been cured," Xiao Hui said.
Consort Yue lowered her eyes, playing with the jade bracelet on her wrist; no one saw the cold glint in her eyes.
When she looked up, her gaze was gentle and warm. She caught sight of the bright yellow figure at the doorway and spoke slowly.
“I was also someone who almost became a mother. No matter how bad his mother did, the little prince is innocent. I am also very happy that he has recovered.”
"Your Highness, you are too kind. Min Shi has harmed you so much, yet you are still so magnanimous. If you ask me, she deserves..."
"Shut up!" Consort Yue scolded Xiao Hui, "You must not say such things again. She has already received her due punishment. When will this cycle of revenge end..."
"My beloved concubine."
Before Consort Yue could finish speaking, Emperor Changlong walked in.
"Your Majesty." Consort Yue was about to stand up and pay her respects when Emperor Changlong stopped her.
"Lie down quickly." Emperor Changlong's eyes were full of tenderness. "Why don't you lie on the couch? It's too cold up there. You need to rest now."
"I'm covered with a fox fur blanket, so I'm not cold." Consort Yue's face looked very pale. She looked up at Emperor Changlong and said in a soft voice, "It's just that I feel the palace is so quiet and lonely."
"I remember you like keeping pets. I'll have someone find you some cute cats and dogs to keep you company," Emperor Changlong said.
Consort Yue's smile was cold and desolate. "Cats and dogs are no match for human warmth."
She grabbed Emperor Changlong's arm. "Your Majesty, I wish to adopt the Eleventh Prince."
"Shen You?" Emperor Changlong's pupils contracted. "You don't resent him?"
"I do not resent him. Whatever grudges may arise between adults, the child is innocent. The fact that the Eleventh Prince visited his mother late at night proves that he is a filial child. I adopted him and treated him sincerely. I believe he will understand my good intentions," said Consort Yue.
Emperor Changlong pondered for a moment, "Little Eleven is too naughty. My beloved consort needs to rest now. I'm waiting for you to recover so we can have another child."
When Consort Yue saw that Emperor Changlong refused, a look of disappointment crossed her face. "Yes, Your Majesty."
"Among the tributes from a few days ago were new Shu brocades. I know you like them, so I will bestow them all upon you later. Once you are well, I will take you out of the palace to travel while you wear clothes made of Shu brocades. Is that alright?" Emperor Changlong gave Consort Yue a sweet promise and something to look forward to.
Consort Yue, her eyes brimming with tears, said, "If only my child could come with us to go out of the palace and travel."
Emperor Changlong frowned slightly, but his voice remained gentle. "My beloved consort, the past is the past. Your insistence on it is not good for your health. We have a long life ahead of us, and we will have our own children in the future."
He thought for a moment, then said, "Once you recover, you will manage the six palaces for me."
Consort Yue raised her eyes, "Your Majesty, is it true?"
"A ruler's word is law," Emperor Changlong said.
Consort Yue suffered a miscarriage, Consort Hui was implicated by Shen Jing and demoted to the rank of Talented Lady, and the Empress Dowager fell seriously ill and was bedridden.
Currently, Consort De is in charge of the inner palace.
Consort De was soft-hearted and lacked assertiveness. Fortunately, there weren't many concubines in the harem these days, so she had few things to worry about and could manage things reasonably well.
Who knows when Consort Yue will recover?
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty still loves Yue'er the most." A smile appeared on Consort Yue's face.
"Take good rest. I'll come to see you again when I have time." Emperor Changlong stood up.
"Congratulations to the emperor."
After Emperor Changlong left the Moon Palace, Xiao Hui smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor dotes on you too much. From now on, the six palaces will be under your control."
Consort Yue did not respond, a cold smile playing on her lips.
Do you spoil her?
If you truly dote on her, why wouldn't you let her raise Shen You?
Outside the Moon Palace Gate.
"Your Majesty, where are you going now?" asked Eunuch Wang.
Emperor Changlong looked up and realized that the only place he could go now was to visit Consort De.
However, he and Consort De barely exchanged a few words, and going there only made him feel more annoyed.
"Return to the Imperial Study."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The Empress Dowager's bedroom.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has gone to the Moon Palace," a palace maid reported to Consort De.
"Let's investigate again." Consort De felt both anxious and expectant.
After Consort Jia was deposed yesterday, Emperor Changlong handed over the power to manage the six palaces to her.
She felt a surge of joy, thinking that now that there were only her and Consort Yue in the harem, and Consort Yue had miscarried, Emperor Changlong would definitely come looking for her.
Her time to be pampered is finally coming.
She dressed herself up carefully and stood at the door looking around, but she waited and waited until late at night, when everyone was asleep, but Emperor Changlong still did not appear.
She sent a palace servant to inquire, and the servant returned saying that Emperor Changlong had stayed in the Imperial Study.
In an instant, her heart turned cold.
But she loved Emperor Changlong, and soon she found an excuse for him.
She figured that Emperor Changlong had just lost a child and must be feeling down, needing some peace and quiet, which was why he hadn't come looking for her.
Once Emperor Changlong has calmed down, he will come looking for her.
Today, she sent palace servants again to inquire about Emperor Changlong's whereabouts.
They learned that Emperor Changlong had gone to the Moon Palace.
She hoped that Emperor Changlong would come looking for her after he emerged from the Moon Palace.
Not long after, a palace servant returned and reported, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has returned to the Imperial Study and has been reviewing memorials. He will probably stay there tonight."
"What?" Consort De couldn't believe it.
In an instant, humiliation, resentment, pain, despair, heartbreak...
These emotions surged through her heart like a raging flood.
She knew that Emperor Changlong did not like her.
Therefore, she remained hidden in the harem, cautious and discreet, silently watching over Emperor Changlong, hoping that one day he would see her devotion and true feelings.
She outlived the Empress and Consort Xian, waited for Consort Jia to be deposed and Consort Hui to be demoted, and finally waited for Consort Yue to miscarry...
Finally, she was the only one left in the harem. However, Emperor Changlong preferred to stay alone in his empty room rather than have her serve him.
How can you humiliate someone like that?
The end of love is an endless abyss, a heart-wrenching hatred.
"Someone, prepare the ingredients. I want to make soup for His Majesty myself."
Consort De rose, her eyes suddenly filled with hatred.
Lunar New Year's Eve.
This year's Lunar New Year's Eve is destined to be anything but peaceful.
