Chapter 287: Making Peace
Chapter 287: Concerning peace
As they were talking, they suddenly heard a crisp applause from behind. They were stunned at the same time, turned their eyes behind them, bowed at the same time, and said respectfully: "Empress."
"There is no need to be polite in this evergreen hall. Die'er is just a new arrival and doesn't know these things. Jacquard. You've been here for so long, why are you still so polite?" Hua Rongrong looked at them with a smile. Although she is the queen and will be the queen in the future, Die'er can't feel any pressure on her body. On the contrary, she feels a sincere sense of comfort.
As Jacquard says, it feels like home.
Jacquard smiled and said, "What the Empress teaches is that Jacquard is too polite."
"Die'er, do you want to go and see the queen with me? Maybe, from today on, you will not be able to see her again." Hua Rongrong looked at Die'er seriously. She knew in her heart that although Die'er had become a member of the Evergreen Palace since now, no matter what, Die'er had served Peng Yuanyuan, and that kind of master-servant relationship still exists.
The expression on Die'er's face was very complicated. She seemed to be in a struggle. She thought for a long time before she raised her head and said with a wry smile: "The Queen hates me to the core, I'd better not go there, so as not to get in the Queen's eyes any more."
"She will figure it out, okay, if you don't want to go, I won't force you anymore, so I'll go by myself." Hua Rongrong said softly with a casual smile.
"Go to yourself?" Die'er and Jacquard looked at each other, but they didn't expect that Hua Rongrong would choose to find Peng Yuanyuan by herself.
Jacquard first reacted, looked at Hua Rongrong righteously, and his face was full of solemnity: "No, Empress, the Queen, she just experienced the pain of losing her father, and her resentment in her heart has not subsided. If you pass by, you may be hurt unnecessary."
"Don't worry, I can protect myself." Hua Rongrong said softly.
Looking at Hua Rongrong's extremely serious appearance, Die'er knew that no matter how Jacquard persuaded her, she would insist on going over. She thought about it in her heart and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll go too."
"You're going?" Hua Rongrong said in surprise.
"Well, after all, it's a master and servant. I think I should go and see her off." Fei sighed. In fact, Die'er wanted Hua Rongrong to feel sorry for her, so that she could follow Hua Rongrong to protect her.
Finally, Hua Rongrong nodded: "Okay, let's go together and jacquard. I just got a fuss with the queen. The emperor was physically and mentally exhausted. I gave him some tea to calm the mind, and he fell asleep in my bedroom. If he woke up and asked me where I was going, you said, I'm going for a walk in the imperial garden, do you understand?"
A lot of helplessness flashed in Jacquard's eyes, but he nodded and said, "Jacquard understands."
In the dark death row, Peng Yuanyuan sat alone there. She was already familiar with this place, but this time she came in, her mood was very different.
She felt deep despair.
In the past, even if General Peng was there, even if she was imprisoned in a death row, there would be no substantial danger. But now it is different. She has no backer and shows a strong resistance in front of Shangguan Chen, so naturally she will never be able to leave easily again.
With a heavy sigh, Peng Yuanyuan's mouth curled up a bitter smile, and her heart was filled with many indescribable sadness.
"elder sister."
Suddenly, she heard an unexpected voice, was startled, turned her head suddenly, and suddenly saw the figure behind her that she least wanted to see.
"What are you here to do!" Even though she was only despair in her heart, she didn't want to show too much pain in front of Hua Rongrong.
Hua Rongrong took a lunch box from Die'er's hand and placed it at Peng Yuanyuan's feet. He said gently: "I heard that the food here is not delicious. I asked the Royal Seating Room to cook some of my sister's favorite foods and specially brought it to my sister."
"Hmph, this is the so-called last meal. Didn't you really expect that it was delivered to me by you. It's really ironic!" Peng Yuanyuan's lips twitched and she sneered.
Hua Rongrong was slightly stunned, then reacted and quickly defended: "No, sister, this is not the last meal, it's just a little bit of my wish. By tomorrow morning, sister will be released."
"Stop talking sweetly here. Don't I understand what you are thinking about?" Peng Yuanyuan's face showed countless sarcasm and said self-righteously, "Didn't you just want to see me extremely grateful and grateful to you. Then, when tomorrow morning, the emperor will issue an imperial edict and send me to the court for execution. At that time, I will be even more desperate than now, right?"
"No, Queen, you misunderstood. Queen did not mean that!" Die'er couldn't help but say from the side.
He glanced at Die'er sideways, and Peng Yuanyuan spat, even more disdainful: "You dog who is taking advantage of the situation, why don't you shut up!"
Even though he was thrown into a death row, Peng Yuanyuan still had the aura of being proud of everything, which was not something a maid like Die'er could deal with.
"Empress..." Die'er was frightened, her eyes were filled with horror. She hurriedly hid behind Hua Rongrong and never dared to say anything again.
Seeing Die'er's reaction, Hua Rongrong suddenly remembered that just a while ago, Peng Yuanyuan rushed towards her desperately. Die'er stopped Peng Yuanyuan's body on behalf of herself without thinking. At that time, Die'er was full of courage, as if she was not afraid of the world!
Her heart was suddenly filled with a feeling of emotion.
A faint smile appeared on his face, and Hua Rongrong whispered: "Sister, I did not lie to you. The emperor has promised me that he can relieve you of your guilt."
"Really?" Peng Yuanyuan's face suddenly showed a suspicious expression, but then she showed a more firm look and her tone became even more sarcastic. "Even if I really let me go, it would be a tyrant to the frontier or something. I am just a weak woman. For me, that kind of guilt is worse than death. Hua Rongrong. If you really hate me, give me some pleasure. Don't use such evil tricks, can you do it?"
"No, you really think too much. The emperor demoted you to a commoner and would not give you any other guilt. I want to beg for more, but the emperor has made up his mind and I dare not say anything more. But don't worry, I will arrange my future life for you, and there will be specific people to protect you and will not cause you any trouble."
Hua Rongrong said extremely seriously, that kind of seriousness, no scheming, no resentment, only calmness as light as water.
Is this true?
Peng Yuanyuan looked at her in surprise, trying to hypnotize herself. Hua Rongrong is now mocking and joking about herself, but she can't help but shake her head, thinking that it was just an illusion of her, because Hua Rongrong is now clearly incredibly quiet and gentle.
"Is this true?" She turned her gaze to Die'er. Perhaps the relationship between the two master and servant is still there, so Peng Yuanyuan chose to believe Die'er.
Die'er also nodded very seriously: "Yes, everything the Empress said is true."
For some reason, Peng Yuanyuan suddenly couldn't hate her. She knew that she was still carrying her father's deep hatred, but in her heart, the anger was like a fire that was extinguished. No matter how she teased her, she could not ignite it again.
There was only endless guilt left in her heart.
Sit down slowly, regardless of the stains on the ground, Peng Yuanyuan's tone was full of sadness: "I thought that in the harem, the emperor's favor is everything. The position he had worked hard to get may not be as good as a beautiful palace maid. It is like a gust of wind. In a blink of an eye, it can sweep away all the achievements you have won. Even the maids and servants around you are extremely cruel. When they find that your foundation is unstable and the backstage collapses, they will leave you without hesitation. Even if it is entirely possible to surrender to your mortal enemy, you don't know which one is the one who will be betray you by your side. Many times, you are killed by the people around you!"
After hearing her words, Die'er's face turned red and white, and tears were also soaked in her eyes.
"Since you know, why do you still fight?" Hua Rongrong looked at her quietly, and there seemed to be a hint of confusion in Ning Jing's eyes, "Isn't it good to have a happy life? Even if you have someone you like, the emperor will not stop you."
"But the person I like is the emperor. If I want to get his favor, I must fight. Only the surviving person is worthy of the emperor's love!" With passionate a trace of helplessness flashed across Peng Yuanyuan's face, "It's a pity that the surviving person is you."
"No, I didn't fight at all."
Hua Rongrong looked at her with great silence, "In the face of love, any scheming is useless, and it will even bring about a reaction. The person the emperor likes is not you, but his business, and it has nothing to do with me. If you fight with me, you have chosen the wrong partner."
"I..." For a moment, Peng Yuanyuan was speechless by her words. After a long time, she could only say depressedly, "Just just eloquent!"
"It's not the case. If you really love the emperor, you will never hurt the woman he loves. This is my understanding of love." Hua Rongrong said calmly.
Peng Yuanyuan looked at her.
Sudden.
Peng Yuanyuan smiled bitterly and leaned weakly against the cold wall behind her, her face extremely pale, "Then why did you let me go again?"
"Because I only have Shangguan Chen in my heart, and there is no such hatred." Hua Rongrong said with a smile.
