Chapter 229 See you
As soon as she left the Yiku Palace, Concubine Yu acted like a sneaky mouse, hunching her body, looking left and right, and sneaking up to Yan Wan.
Yan Wan frowned slightly, a hint of vigilance in her eyes. She carefully looked around, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual, she relaxed a little and turned to exchange a few words with Concubine Yu. Although the words seemed ordinary, they contained a hidden meaning.
Afterwards, Yan Wan decisively dismissed everyone around her, her movements quick and efficient, without the slightest delay. Then, she led Concubine Yu slowly towards her own Yongshou Palace. Along the way, the two remained silent, the atmosphere somewhat solemn.
"How is the thing I asked you to do a few days ago?" Yan Wan was the first to break the silence. Her voice was low and she stared at Concubine Yu casually, waiting for her answer.
"To reply to the Imperial Concubine, I have some clues. I found out that Mao Qian had been hiding in the guard's home with a distant relative from her mother's family. I went to great lengths to find her..."
Concubine Yu's eyes were filled with eagerness, and she stared at Yan Wan closely, as if looking at a glittering treasure. Her heart was filled with surprise and admiration. She had never expected that Concubine Ling before her could be so tough.
In this treacherous harem, Concubine Ling was able to find something to hold against the Queen, which really shocked Concubine Yu.
She thought to herself that the imperial concubine's methods were truly amazing.
There was a subtle calculation hidden in her eager eyes. She was thinking about how to use Concubine Ling's strength to gain more benefits for herself.
"It's good that you've found her. Let's take good care of her first. From now on, just follow my orders."
Yan Wan nodded slightly, her tone carrying a hint of authority. Her eyes revealed a hint of satisfaction. The key person had finally arrived, which made her feel relieved.
She knew that with this person, her plan would be halfway to success. At this moment, Yan Wan seemed to see the dawn of victory, and she firmly believed that in this life, she was destined to be the winner.
"These are all easy to discuss, but although Mao Qian is willing to cooperate, there is a condition." Concubine Yu looked at Yan Wan's somewhat relaxed expression and felt a little uneasy.
She hesitantly expressed Mao Qian's request, her voice trembling slightly, fearing that she might upset Yan Wan. Concubine Yu's eyes were filled with uneasiness, as she didn't know how Yan Wan would respond to Mao Qian's request.
This woman is troublesome. She dares to do something to Qiao because she has the upper hand over her. If she didn't rely on her to overthrow the queen, she would never allow her to be so presumptuous.
Hearing what Concubine Yu said, Yan Wan raised her eyebrows slightly, and a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes.
"Oh? Tell me about it."
"She wants to see you, and she absolutely must. She said she has evidence, but she won't agree until she sees you, the Imperial Concubine..."
As Concubine Yu spoke, she carefully observed Yan Wan's expression. There was a hint of nervousness in her tone, as if she was afraid that Yan Wan would get angry.
Concubine Yu knew Yanwan's temper very well, and if she made her unhappy, she would not suffer any consequences.
When Yanwan heard that Maoqian wanted to see her, the teacup in her hand paused slightly.
After a moment, she continued, "I don't have any special relationship with her, how can I meet her just because she wants to?"
There was a hint of indifference in Yanwan's tone, and she was obviously not satisfied with Maoqian's request.
In her opinion, Mao Qian was just a little girl outside the palace. She was so bold as to ask to see her. She really didn't know her place.
However, meeting her was not a difficult matter. Yan Wan was well-connected in the Forbidden City, so meeting a woman from outside the palace was easy.
However, her only concern was that the Emperor would know that she had met Mao Qian before, and therefore would not believe Mao Qian's accusation. If that were the case, it would be superfluous and would be bad.
Yan Wan frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. She had to come up with a foolproof plan that would allow her to see Mao Qian without arousing the emperor's suspicion.
"Yes, what the Imperial Concubine Ling said is true. I will tell her right now, and tell her to give up on this idea. If she refuses, we can try some other methods..." Seeing Yan Wan's firm attitude, Concubine Yu felt a surge of panic in her heart. She was afraid that Yan Wan would think she was not doing her job well, so she quickly agreed.
Concubine Yu's tone was full of flattery, and her eyes also revealed a hint of flattery. She knew very well that in this harem, offending Yan Wan would definitely not end well, so she had to do everything she could to please her.
Yan Wan was about to wave her off, but when she thought of Mao Qian's past and present life, her heart softened. Mao Qian was originally a princess of noble status, but for various reasons she married Ling Yunche and lived an unhappy life.
And if Yan Wan had obeyed Ruyi's suggestion in the Imperial Garden and chosen to let the Emperor arrange a marriage for her and married Ling Yunche, I'm afraid her life would not be better than Mao Qian's, right?
She didn't have Mao Qian's noble birth, and she still had her mother and younger brother to support her. If she had married Ling Yunche, and allowed him to cling to the Empress, neither striving for advancement nor pursuing other interests, spending his days in mediocrity within the palace, her fate would have been a hundred times worse than Mao Qian's.
Mao Qian once had a noble status. Even if she is not doing well now, she still had glory in the past.
If she were to fall into such a situation, she would have no capital to rely on and would be trampled upon in this treacherous harem, becoming the object of everyone's ridicule and living a dark and hopeless life.
Fortunately, she was ambitious and willing to climb. Using the ladder Jinzhong handed her, she trudged forward step by step, striving hard in a palace filled with intrigue and strife. She used all her wits and tactics to finally secure her current glorious life.
Thinking of this, Yan Wan sighed and called out to Concubine Yu.
"and many more."
Concubine Yu paused as she was about to leave, and then returned to Yan Wan respectfully.
"Does the Imperial Concubine have any other instructions?"
"This Mao Qian is a pitiful person. Well, let's just meet her. I want to see what she has to tell me..."
Thinking of this, Yan Wan's heart was filled with emotion, and she couldn't help but sigh. That sigh seemed to contain countless emotions, including regrets about the past, reflections on the present, and thoughts about the future. Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she hurriedly called out to Concubine Yu.
"and many more."
Yan Wan's voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable majesty. Yupin paused as she was about to step forward, a flicker of doubt crossing her face, but she quickly regained her respectful expression and turned back to Yan Wan.
"Does the Imperial Concubine have any other instructions?" Yupin bowed her head slightly, her tone respectful.
