Chapter 592 Mid-Autumn Festival Eve
Approaching Mid-Autumn Festival
The palace was cleared of the previous haze
The Ministry of Internal Affairs began to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. This Mid-Autumn Festival, Xie Yu issued an order to keep everything simple.
Zhonghe Palace
Today we welcomed an unexpected person, that is Sun Manrou
Hall
Only Lin Junxue and Sun Manrou were left
The remaining palace maids and eunuchs who were serving were all sent away.
Lin Junxue took a sip of tea slowly, her eyes fixed on Sun Manrou.
Obviously, she knew that the Concubine Chen came today to tell others something that could not be known to others.
It's interesting
for a while
Sun Manrou put down the teacup in her hand, looked up, her face full of fatigue.
a year ago
She is still the arrogant and domineering concubine
But in just one year, my eyes have become dull and lifeless.
She stood up, then slowly knelt on the ground, her eyes full of determination.
"Empress, today, I come here to ask for your cooperation with my life in exchange for your promise."
Lin Junxue paused and looked at Sun Manrou who was kneeling on the ground.
His eyes deepened slightly
Unknown meaning in eyes
Next second
"Empress, the Sun family is gone"
When she said this, Sun Manrou's face was numb and no hatred was left on it.
She even said it very calmly, as if she was talking about something insignificant.
Lin Junxue stared at her face and was not surprised at all.
After the Sun family was deprived of their military power, they were exiled thousands of miles away.
Even if someone loses his life on the road, this matter can naturally be handled perfectly.
Who was the person who wiped out the entire Sun family and didn't want to leave any trouble behind?
The result is self-evident.
Xie Yu wiped out the roots of the evil, ostensibly by exiling the Sun family to preserve Concubine Chen's position as a concubine.
In fact, it was just for show. Behind the scenes, the entire Sun family was wiped out.
The Sun family has been in charge of the southwest for many years, so they must have their own secret guards and connections.
Sun Manrou knew about this, so it wasn't surprising.
No wonder Sun Manrou came to Zhonghe Palace today and offered to exchange her life for a promise.
What kind of promise is worth exchanging your life for?
Perhaps, she has guessed what Sun Manrou wants?
Lin Junxue said calmly, "Princess Chen, I'm sorry."
Sun Manrou's eyes turned red, and even her hands on both sides were shaking.
In fact, I am just trying my best to suppress my hatred.
How can I not hate?
"Empress, although I am still the Concubine, any smart person can see that I am nothing. I thought that if I just acted like a concubine, the Emperor would consider our years of friendship and the fact that the Sun family has been stationed at the border for decades to protect the peace of the area. The Sun family has been exiled and given a last chance to survive."
The Sun family was deprived of military power, and Sun Manrou hated
But, ridiculously, she still held on to the last bit of fantasy about the emperor.
"But within a year, the Emperor took the lives of my entire Sun family. Everything is gone. The last glimmer of hope in my heart is gone. What's the point of living? Every day of my life is nothing but torment."
Sun Manrou knew that she wanted to avenge the extermination of her clan.
But now, she no longer has the chance to get close to Xie Yu.
How easy is it to take revenge?
Therefore, she decided to use her life to exchange for a chance of revenge.
As for the person who can avenge her, she can't find anyone else in the world except the queen in front of her.
Lin Junxue looked indifferent
"Concubine Chen, the dead are dead, you are still alive, as long as you are alive, there is hope."
Sun Manrou laughed at herself
"Empress, if you are alive, you are nothing but a walking corpse. It is impossible to take revenge on the emperor. I know I can't do it. If I really do something, it will be a waste of my life. It's useless."
"I have a plan. Although the Emperor only favors you, the Empress, now, you and I both know that the Emperor is fickle and easily dislikes the old and loves new things. Now, the Emperor treats you with all kinds of favors, but what about a year or two later? Beauty fades and time takes its toll. Next year, in the spring, there will be a new selection of concubines. When new people enter the palace, you will have to fight endlessly with these women. I understand, and you can see clearly that you want to be favored by the late Emperor like the Empress Dowager, but you still lack an opportunity. My life may help you, the Empress, completely win the Emperor's heart."
Lin Junxue lowered her head slightly, and her ink-black eyes were slightly restrained at this moment.
Casting a faint shadow on the snow-white skin.
In those dark eyes, there seemed to be twinkling stars, and also like a bottomless pool.
The Queen is indeed smart.
She needs a chance now.
"Empress Chen, I will pretend I have never heard of this."
Sun Manrou took two steps forward on her knees
"Empress, the Sun family and the Lin family are the same. They have their own army and are powerful. The Lin family army has been the emperor's concern for many years. The Lin family not only has military power but also the support of the people. The emperor is afraid of each of them. Sooner or later, if the emperor is not dead, the Lin family will end up like our Sun family. The rabbit is dead and the dog is abandoned. The lives of the whole family will be in danger. Empress, if that day really comes, it will be too late for you to do anything."
"The emperor's favor is but a passing cloud, the greatest poison in the world. Today, the emperor holds you in his hands, but in the future, for the sake of imperial power, the emperor will abandon you without hesitation. Queen, don't you understand the emperor's hypocrisy, cruelty and indifference?"
Sun Manrou's every word is sincere
"Empress, I didn't understand before and did a lot of stupid things, but now I am sober. Empress, you no longer love the emperor. You hate the emperor just like me. You hate him."
Lin Junxue looked at Sun Manrou's scarlet eyes, which were filled with helplessness and hatred, and there was still a last bit of hope.
Lin Junxue's hand groped the edge of the teacup
Use the life of Concubine Chen to win Xie Yu's final sincerity and trust.
After all, her purpose is the same as Concubine Chen's.
Now that the concubine Chen has come to her house on her own initiative, she really has made a profit from this deal.
After all, there is still a trace of compassion
In this harem, Sun Manrou is a fool, but in the end she is not really a "bad person"
Lin Junxue raised her eyes, looked at Sun Manrou, and sighed softly.
"You, really don't regret it?"
Sun Manrou kowtowed heavily, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and her eyes were extremely determined.
"No regrets, I have no regrets, I just ask for your help, Queen. I am willing to lend a helping hand to you."
The two looked at each other
At this moment, the entire hall was filled with a suffocating atmosphere of tranquility, as if time had stopped at this moment.
Wisps of smoke slowly rise from the incense burner
The light fragrance floats and lingers in the air like a soft veil
Finally, it turned into an almost inaudible sigh
When Sun Manrou left Zhonghe Palace, her expression was normal and she left with a smile.
Danzhen and Guyu slowly opened the door and walked in quietly.
When they looked into the house, they saw that figure.
Lin Junxue stood quietly in front of the window
