Everyone in my harem is talented

Chapter 155 Monster

"I have to go to the morning court, my beloved, please continue to sleep for a while. Didn't you sleep last night?"

Meng Wuyue, who had fallen asleep in the second half of the night and was a little dazed, woke up instantly when he heard Qin Zhi's words.

"I will change your clothes for you."

Meng Wu Yue raised the corners of her lips slightly. She held up her clothes with one hand, tucked her hair behind her ears, sat up and spoke gently.

Her every move, every frown and smile are habits formed over the years.

"No need." Qin Zhi said with a chuckle.

After discovering that Meng Wu Yue was afraid of him, Qin Zhi began to deliberately mess with her mentality from time to time, teasing her again and again.

Qin Zhi finished washing and dressing with the help of the palace servants and left soon.

Weixia approached quietly and saw that Concubine Yi was still sitting in silence, so he asked:

"My lady, shall I help you get up?"

"Let's wash up."

Meng Wu Yue looked out the window. The clouds were very low and the sky was gloomy, as if it was going to rain.

Compared with the clear blue sky that day, it was like two completely different worlds.

Meng Wu Yue couldn't help but sigh. The two completely opposite people were actually in the same region. Whether it was in the light or in the dark, whether it was sunny or cloudy, it was all him.

Time goes back to that day. The empress dowager pleaded for Lu Xinyin to Qin Zhi and accused Qin Zhi of being too cruel to Lu Xinyin. After being humiliated, the empress dowager originally planned to go to the Pepper House Palace to find Shen Ningyue and vent her anger, but after calming down, the empress dowager just went to Chongde Palace to make arrangements for Lu Xinyin.

Zhier was not only cruel to his cousin who was pregnant with his child.

After coming out of Chongde Hall, the empress dowager immediately sent someone to summon Meng Wuyue to accompany her, saying that it had been a long time since she and Concubine Yi had visited the garden and admired the flowers together, and she missed the past years, so she wanted her to go and keep her company.

It seemed that the Queen Mother really just wanted Meng Wuyue to accompany her to appreciate the flowers. Along the way, she only talked about the flowers and trees she saw and recalled the interesting things in the past. But she dismissed her attendants and only asked the palace servants to follow her from a distance, which made Meng Wuyue a little confused and at the same time, she was tense and alert.

After all, her friendship with the Queen Mother was just for show.

The sky was clear, the wind was gentle and the sun was warm. The sunlight shone on the floating water of Taiye Lake, sparkling with golden sparkles.

The Queen Mother bent down, picked a Yaohuang peony and handed it to Meng Wuyue.

"There are so many varieties of flowers and trees in this palace that I am dazzled. In my Ci'an Palace, I only plant a few common ones, such as peonies and herbaceous peonies. I remember Imperial Concubine Yi once said that she loved peonies the most."

Meng Wuyue took the Yaohuang Peony, nodded, and responded softly:

"The peonies in my palace are quite complete in variety. They were all given to me by Your Majesty because I like them. Would Your Majesty like to go to my palace and take a look?"

"No need for that. I have no preference for any kind of flowers or trees."

The Queen Mother reached out and plucked a white jasmine flower, sniffed it gently, and put it aside.

"I won't beat around the bush. Imperial Concubine Yi, do you still remember that I was poisoned last September? The poison must have come from the lily of the valley planted in the Imperial Concubine's Palace."

"I am guilty, Your Majesty, and I will punish you as you wish." Upon hearing this, Meng Wu Yue knelt down and apologized.

Her eyelashes trembled and drooped to hide the complex emotions surging in her eyes.

After the Queen Mother was poisoned, Zhang Deli brought people to pull out all the white orchids in the hall.

At that time, Meng Wu Yue was immersed in the double pain of losing his son and his mother, and never thought deeply about it.

Or rather, she didn't dare to think too deeply about it.

The more Meng Wu tried to avoid it, the more he tried to forget about it...

Yes, she couldn't forget.

The Queen Mother suddenly mentioned this, and she couldn't stop feeling panic in her heart.

She lowered her head, her hands trembling slightly.

It was not that she was afraid of being punished, nor was it that she was afraid that the Queen Mother would blame her for the poisoning.

"What punishment are you talking about? You didn't poison me. The culprit, Lin, has already been executed. I have no intention of bringing up the past. Hurry up and get up. If someone sees me from afar, they might think I'm deliberately making things difficult for Imperial Concubine Yi."

"I dare not." Meng Wu Yue bowed deeply and then slowly stood up.

"I am just curious. How could Concubine Yi, who always likes large, colorful peonies and magnificent appearances, plant small and beautiful white lily of the valley?"

Seeing Meng Wuyue was silent, the Queen Mother continued:

"I am deeply saddened by the untimely death of Crown Prince Zhaohui. As a mother myself, I feel the same pain that Concubine Yi feels.

I shouldn't have reminded Concubine Yi of the loss of her son, but I've been through the gates of hell, so it's not too much to want to live a more clear life, right?"

"If Imperial Concubine Yi doesn't want to talk about it, forget it and go back."

The Queen Mother had achieved her goal, so she turned around and left without waiting for Meng Wu Yue.

Meng Wu Yue watched the Queen Mother and her entourage leaving in a grand procession. The whole world fell silent. Suspicion and fear locked her body tightly, making her stand stiff in place. It seemed that the only sound in her ears was the roar of her heartbeat.

His Majesty asked her to plant lilies of the valley all over the yard on the grounds that the white lily of the valley temporarily represented the soul of Prince Zhaohui and the grief of the living, which almost cost the Queen Mother her life.

Is the culprit really Concubine Lin Gui? Or is it just Concubine Lin Gui?

Would someone really use the death of their own child as an excuse to go fishing, using their own mother as bait?

She seemed to have never known His Majesty, and the man beside her seemed to have turned into a monster, a monster in human skin, alienated by power.

Such a Majesty made her feel extremely scared and unfamiliar.

(Although Meng Wuyue's father was a scumbag, she was indeed a child who grew up bathed in the love of her parents. Later, she married into the palace. The protagonist has always been very gentle. The world she sees has always been decent and bright. After so many years in the palace, her hands are still clean. She knows that the protagonist has raised the butcher knife against the court officials, but in her opinion, they are all outsiders, guilty, and deserve to die. As a daughter, Meng Wuyue loves her mother very much. As a mother, she also loves her children. She can't imagine that someone would raise a butcher knife against her mother who gave birth to her. Even though the queen mother saved her life and did not die in the end, the image of Qin Zhi in her heart is like a devil.)
