Chapter 237 Meng Po (45)
July fifteenth.
Ghost Festival.
It is also the birthday of Li Yi, the monarch of the Southern Kingdom.
In fact, no one knows the exact date of his birthday.
Li Yi was still young when he was rescued and he doesn't remember anything.
So, they set that day as his birthday.
The day of rebirth is the day of birthday.
Yue Niang was originally thinking of finding an excuse to stay.
Just in time, Li Yi's birthday gave her a perfect reason.
Stay and celebrate for him.
It was only after she came back that she learned about the subsequent story of Li Yi and Rong En.
It was not what she imagined.
Even the people of the Southern Kingdom were very confused.
At that time, the princess who was married to another country even stabbed him with a knife, but he remained calm and wanted to save her.
This is not what true love is.
But it is also true that the emperor and empress treated each other with cold respect during these ten years.
In any occasion where the two of them needed to appear together, they were never seen to have any communication.
It seems unfamiliar, even mutually exclusive.
This is ridiculous.
Yue Niang felt the same way.
So, she also secretly went to meet Princess Rong En.
She still remembers herself.
"Are you the guard I stabbed by mistake?"
Rong En was not a man with a photographic memory, and after a brief meeting, he hadn't seen him for ten years.
It’s normal to be uncertain.
"Your Majesty, it is your subordinate."
"Yes, I was not mistaken."
She no longer had the vigor she had when they first met, and now her temperament was rather gloomy and lazy.
After ten years of torment in the harem, no one can live a happy and sunny life.
Especially when there is a weird person who goes crazy from time to time.
It's hard to live, and it's hard to die.
She is still a decent person now, all thanks to her strong will.
"What do you want to see me for?"
Yue Niang had already thought of a reason.
"Your Majesty has asked me to inform the Queen that you must attend the birthday banquet."
"Humph--"
Rong En's eyes were full of disdain, "What difference does it make whether I attend or not?"
"What if I go? What if I don't go?"
Yue Niang lowered her head and remained silent.
It sounds like the relationship is indeed not good.
What went wrong that made the two of them sick of each other?
"Forget it, I'll go there."
It's not her style to make things difficult for a servant.
"You can go back and report now."
"Thank you, Queen, for your consideration."
After bowing again, he was about to leave.
"Wait a minute."
Ron called her again.
"Ten years ago, I stabbed you. I was wrong."
Yue Niang was very surprised.
It was not because the apology was ten years late, but because she actually apologized to a "servant" like herself.
Her Royal Highness the Princess is quite nice.
Soft-hearted, kind, and not arrogant.
But it was she who assassinated Li Yi twice without hesitation.
This kind of mentality is also extremely tenacious and rare.
"I am terrified," she responded hastily, "and I have never taken it to heart."
"It's your business if you don't remember. What I did was wrong."
"I apologize, just listen."
"Okay, let's go down."
"Yes, ma'am."
Yue Niang left the Queen's palace and looked back at the three words "Yuehua Palace" engraved on it.
I thought of the young woman in the room, dressed in fancy clothes and looking old-fashioned.
She was going to be free.
Soon she would be able to break free from the shackles that this palace had placed on her.
It’s not long now, it’s today.
This time, Yue Niang did not stand in a hidden place as a secret guard.
Instead, he sat below the emperor as a subordinate of Prince Anyang.
The Queen also attended as promised, and next to her was Aunt Jingyuan, who had been sent to assist her over the years.
It is said that he is helping with palace affairs.
In fact, she also briefly served as the Queen of the Southern Kingdom.
There was really nothing in the harem that required her to deal with.
So, it is assistance in public but surveillance in secret.
Aunt Jingyuan seems to have been doing surveillance tasks all the time.
The only difference is that the target of surveillance changed from the Emperor to the Empress.
After she came back, Aunt Jingyuan came to see her.
As expected, he was asking Li Lu.
But the person is dead, so there is no point in saying more.
It's just to relieve some of the pain.
Aunt Jingyuan has a hard time, and she is happy to help her solve the problem.
But he didn't ask too many questions, I guess he let it go.
Finally, he even started to care about her private affairs.
She advised Luoyi to find a soulmate and get married as soon as possible; this was her only wish now.
"The Emperor and the Empress are not on good terms, and the issue of having children is very serious. Now, you are also single, how can I rest assured and close my eyes?"
Yue Niang was shocked, "Aunt, don't talk nonsense. You look very healthy and can live for decades."
Jingyuan patted her shoulder soothingly.
"Human beings are full of contradictions. If their life is too short, they are unwilling to live; if their life is too long, it is boring."
"Auntie doesn't have any obsessions now."
Yue Niang wanted to say something else but was stopped by Jing Yuan.
She has many regrets in her life.
Now, it can't be made up for.
It's better to just leave it to fate and leave when the time comes.
Originally, Yue Niang was still very worried, but today, seeing that Aunt Jing Yuan was acting very normal, she felt relieved a little.
She also had to keep her attention on Rong En and Li Yi.
In these few hours.
"Congratulations on your birthday, Your Majesty. May Your Majesty live long and long..."
First, wave after wave of ministers presented gifts.
There was another round of toasting afterwards.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
coming.
Ron stood up and picked up the wine glass on the table.
Raise a toast to the Emperor.
"Well, the Queen is thoughtful."
Li Yi would naturally not lose face for the Queen in public.
He also raised his glass in cooperation.
They clinked their glasses and drank.
All is well.
Yue Niang's heart was lifted up.
This banquet, all were carefully searched.
Make sure the Queen will no longer carry a sharp blade.
I'm not sure how she's going to do it.
After one drink, I thought it was over.
Unexpectedly, Ron raised his glass again.
"Your Majesty, I offer you another toast."
She took the glass herself and filled it for herself.
"This cup is for you to give me ten more years of life."
They all knew in their hearts that she should be sentenced to death after the first assassination attempt.
I am still alive today thanks to Li Yi's contribution.
But she didn't know why.
This doesn't kill her.
What do you want from her?
色？
No.
She was sure.
If she still had this doubt before the marriage.
After the marriage, she no longer had this idea at all.
There was no lust in his eyes when he looked at her.
Not even a ripple.
Like a pool of stagnant water.
Pull her down with him into the Avici Hell.
She was allowed to occupy the position of queen without any punishment.
Only mental torture.
Every once in a while, there would be a ghost-possessed scene.
Keep asking her "Are you back?"
She was driven crazy by the questions, wondering who she wanted to come back.
The next day he behaved like a normal person again, completely forgetting the madness of the previous day.
Over and over again.
She was subjected to mental torture for ten years.
"boom--"
The cup fell to the ground.
A sharp blade reflected the light and rushed towards Li Yi.
