Chapter 135 Concubine Yu pretends to be pitiful
"I see. Thank you for coming over. Let's go now!" Zhihua was actually a little confused. Why didn't Concubine Yu stay in Yonghe Palace to recuperate, but instead came to Cining Palace and wanted to see her? The news of Concubine Yu's suicide a few days ago caused a lot of controversy, and even overshadowed the fact that she was granted marriage. Could she be coming here to express her apology now?
No matter how hard Zhihua tried, she would not know that Concubine Yu came here to cancel the engagement. Poor girl!
Song Qing and Xu Tian took Zhihua with them and set off. On the way, Zhihua wanted to ask Song Qing and Xu Tian if they knew why Concubine Yu came here, but Song Qing and Xu Tian didn't reveal anything. It seemed that they wanted to wait for Concubine Yu to say it herself.
"Zhihua greets the old Buddha and the Concubine Yu." After the few people entered, Zhihua bowed. Song Qing and Xu Tian came behind the old Buddha. Seeing that the old Buddha did not let them leave, they had to stay. In fact, they also wanted to witness the first-hand news. It's not surprising for girls to have a little gossip in their minds.
"Get up." The old Buddha nodded and said, and then said no more, obviously letting Concubine Yu perform on her own.
When Concubine Yu saw that the Empress Dowager did not say anything else, she stepped forward, took Zhihua's hand and said, "Good child, come and sit here." Concubine Yu brought Zhihua to the seat next to her and looked at her with a loving face.
Zhihua felt a little scared when she was stared at, so she asked, "Empress Yu, what is the matter that brought you here to see Zhihua?"
Concubine Yu smiled slightly, held Zhihua's hand and said, "Good child, I know you are well-educated and considerate, a rare good child. If Yongqi marries you, it will be a good thing for him." Concubine Yu said this very nicely. She first praised Zhihua. No matter what she said later, Zhihua would naturally act like a well-educated and considerate person.
When Zhihua first heard Concubine Yu's words, she thought they were praising her, but as she listened, she felt something was wrong. Is Concubine Yu okay? Why is she saying all this?
Song Qing and Xu Tian thought that the next sentence that Concubine Yu would say would be, "but blah blah."
As expected, Concubine Yu then said, "But Yongqi is not so lucky, I'm afraid he can't marry Zhi Huanu."
When Zhihua heard this, she realized that he was waiting for her here! Was he planning to cancel the engagement? "Empress Yu, do you mean that Yongqi wants to cancel this engagement?" Zhihua asked softly, pretending to be well-educated and reasonable.
"Hey~ Zhihua! I know this is too unfair to you, but I am also thinking about you. My son is stubborn. If we get married in the future, I am afraid you will be wronged. I don't want you to suffer so much!" Concubine Yu took out her crying trick again. She was injured now, which added to her feelings and made her look more sincere. "Good child, after experiencing life and death this time, I realized that it was all my fault. I wanted to force you and Yongqi to be together, but I didn't consider whether you could be happy. Now, I have figured it out, so I came to tell you."
The Empress Dowager was stunned watching from the side. This Concubine Yu was very cunning. Not to mention Zhihua, even she couldn't bear to reject such a good mother-in-law who thought so carefully and had far-reaching plans for her!
Song Qing and Xu Tian felt that this Concubine Yu was trying to take Zhihua into her own hands. Seeing Zhihua's expression, she was probably at his mercy! Poor little girl!
Zhihua was indeed a little confused. Concubine Yu had really said everything, so why was she still saying this?
"My child! I don't want you to be unhappy either. You deserve better. So, I thought that instead of waiting until then, it would be better to cancel the engagement now so that you can find your lover!" Seeing that Zhihua was at a loss, Concubine Yu added fuel to the fire.
"Empress Yu, Zhihua understands, but the emperor has issued an order for this marriage. If you want to cancel the engagement, I'm afraid it won't work." Zhihua brought out the emperor's order. She didn't believe that Concubine Yu could disobey the order.
"Don't worry, child. I have already dealt with the emperor. The emperor said it all depends on your opinion. If you nod in agreement, we will cancel the engagement on the grounds that you want to cancel the engagement. This way, your reputation will not be damaged. All the blame will be put on Yongqi. What do you think?" When Concubine Yu saw Zhihua talking about the imperial edict, she felt that she had already succeeded halfway. Fortunately, she went to deal with the emperor first. She was once again proud of her intelligence.
Zhihua was shocked when she heard this. All she had to do was nod. She suppressed her displeasure and said, "Empress Yu, I can't give you an answer now. Can you let me think about it for a few more days? Also, I have to ask my father about this matter." Zhihua felt that she could only wait and see how her father would solve this matter, and she couldn't change it at will.
