Chapter 197 Request to leave the palace
Dugu Mengyao led everyone into the hall. She wanted to punish Xie Tianyao, but when she saw her, she was stunned for a moment!
The woman not far away was wearing a white dress, but she was not at all despair. Instead, she gave people a sense of distantness and ethereality, and was not as soft as silk. She draped behind her, with only a ribbon on her head, her skin was as crystal clear as white jade, her eyes were as bright as stars, her full forehead was high and straight nose, and her thin lips that were not too light, but she was delicate and noble. Such a woman should be a goddess above the nine heavens, how could she appear in this world!
Dugu Mengyao has always been conceited about her appearance, but when facing Xie Tianyao in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a little inferior. Such beauty, let alone men, even as a woman, she will inevitably feel a little moved. If she had such a look, how great would it be!
Dugu Mengyao abandoned the little jealousy in her heart. She was the legitimate daughter of Dugu Mansion and the queen of Yan State. There is no need to be jealous of a woman who is useless except for her appearance!
She looked at Xie Tianyao and said in a deep voice: "Concubine Chu is really arrogant. Even this palace dares to turn it away!"
Xie Tianyao ignored the displeasure in her words and said indifferently: "Is there anything wrong with the queen looking for me?"
Xie Tianyao's indifferent attitude made Dugu Mengyao very angry. She walked straight to the high position and sat down, looking at Xie Tianyao with a high point and said, "Concubine Chu, you have been in the palace for some time. Has no one told you the rules in the palace? As a concubine, you should go to Yikun Palace to pay tribute to me every day. But I have not appeared once until today. I have to trouble me to come to Yunji Palace to find you. I warn you not to think that if Your Majesty is pampering you now, you can be arrogant in this harem without any respect and favor. If I want to govern you with the rules of the palace, Your Majesty cannot say anything!"
Xie Tianyao looked up at her, with no fluctuations in his eyes, and said with a faint smile: "I remember, I have never received the Queen's imperial edict. How can I be regarded as a concubine of Chu? Why should I pay tribute to the Queen? I don't like this, nor do I want to stay here. It is a wishful thinking for Murong Sheng to trap me. I will leave sooner or later, so why bother with his woman? Since the Queen does not like me, why not persuade Murong Sheng to help me persuade Murong Sheng to release me out of the palace and give me freedom, so that the Queen and I will feel good!"
Dugu Mengyao was shocked when she heard her words, stared at Xie Tianyao's face and asked in a deep voice: "You said you don't like this place and want to leave?"
"Yes!" Xie Tianyao smiled faintly!
"Chu Tianyao, you have figured it out. You are just an orphan. Being your Majesty's Concubine Chu has been a blessing in your previous life. After leaving the palace, do you think you can have a better home than you now and find a better man than Your Majesty? Even if you are beautiful, a powerful man will most definitely lack the most beautiful woman!" Dugu Mengyao said with a gloomy face!
"What kind of life will I live after leaving the palace be my own business, so I won't have to worry about it. If Empress is willing to help me leave, Tianyao will remember this kindness of Empress!" Xie Tianyao replied, with a little light in his eyes!
Dugu Mengyao was slightly stunned. Looking at the woman in front of her, her thoughts were rumbling in her mind. Now Xie Tianyao has not served her as a favor. It is indeed the best way to drive her out of the palace now. After all, if such a woman stays in the palace, sooner or later, she will be her biggest concern!
Dugu Mengyao thought for a while, and her eyes gathered slightly and said, "Okay, I will beg Your Majesty to let you go out of the palace. You should not regret it in the future!"
When Xie Tianyao heard this, a faint smile appeared on his face. He politely smiled to her for the first time and said, "In this way, Tianyao thanked the Queen first!"
Today is the fifteenth day. According to the palace rules, the emperor stays in Yikun Palace on the first 15th day of every month. Dugu Mengyao prepared good wine and dishes early. After Murong Sheng came and had dinner with her, she talked to Murong Sheng for a while. Seeing the atmosphere was right, she said at the right time: "Your Majesty, I went to visit Concubine Chu today. She is a celestial figure, and I can't help but be moved when I see it. No wonder Your Majesty likes her!"
Murong Sheng's eyes were slightly condensed and he smiled and said, "Is that so, what did Yaoyao say to her?"
"It's nothing, but I'm just talking about it. I just look at the words of Concubine Chu, and I don't adapt to the life of the palace. I miss the days outside the palace. I think that since she is in poor health and has not yet served in bed, I can't be considered a real Concubine. It's better to let her leave the palace. She is His Majesty's savior, and His Majesty also hopes that she will live the life she wants, right?" Dugu Mengyao advised gently!
But as soon as he finished speaking, Murong Sheng suddenly changed his face. He grabbed Dugu Mengyao's wrist and exerted so hard, his voice overflowed from his teeth: "Dugu Mengyao, remember clearly that she is already my concubine. Life and death are my people in this life. Don't even think about leaving the palace. You said she is not used to the palace and does not want to live the current life. I will slowly change her mind. You'd better not interfere in this matter. If I see you help her leave the palace, even if your father is Dugu Han, I will not be merciful to you!"
His words were extremely cold, which made Dugu Mengyao feel a little chill in her heart. She never thought that one day Murong Sheng would talk to her in such a tone!
Dugu Mengyao was about to say something, but Murong Sheng had already let go of her and stood up, calling out loudly to the outside world: "Mingxiang!"
Mingxiang stepped into the hall and said respectfully: "What are your instructions?"
"It's late, wait for the Empress to sleep!" Murong Sheng said calmly, and after saying that, he was about to leave. Dugu Mengyao called out anxiously: "Your Majesty!"
"I still have state affairs to be busy with, so I won't be with the queen tonight!" Murong Sheng whispered, without waiting for her to say anything, and strides away from Yikun Palace!
Dugu Mengyao was cold all over and her body was shaking slightly. Her intuition told her that the Murong Sheng she saw tonight was the real him. He was as tender as water to her and was gentle and considerate to her on weekdays, but he was just a disguise!
"Empress, what's wrong with you?" Mingxiang stepped forward and supported Dugu Mengyao, looking at her bloodless face, her eyes full of worry!
Dugu Mengyao held Mingxiang's hand tightly, with a few trembling in her tone, and said hoarsely: "Mingxiang, I was wrong, I was very wrong!"
She thought that Murong Sheng liked her a little because of Xie Tianyao's beauty, but today his attitude made her completely understand that he did not just like her, but was obsessed with her, but was bound to be crazy!
