Part 1 - Yu Nu Jiao / Jade Slave / Enslaved By Love

Chapter 046 She Wants to Overpower Others

Concubine Zhuang looked at Xie Yun from head to toe, then laughed with an ambiguous meaning: "Aunt, what you said is really hard to understand. I entered the palace just to serve the emperor and continue the royal family's offspring. Besides, the position of concubine is a favor. What do I want to do to go further?"

Xie Yun lowered her head slightly: "The position of the queen is related to the stability of the world. Looking at the harem, only the virtue of the queen can match it. This servant is also for the Great Zhou."

Concubine Zhuang raised her handkerchief to cover her face and laughed: "Aunt, you are too kind, but I am weak by nature and don't like to fight. I entered the palace just to serve the emperor... Today, I will just pretend that you didn't say anything, please."

Xie Yun seemed to panic for a moment, and hurriedly called her queen. She was clearly ordered to leave, but she still stayed where she was and refused to leave.

Concubine Zhuang raised her eyebrows slightly: "Aunt, do you have anything else to say?"

Xie Yun gritted her teeth, as if she was forced to make up her mind: "Please save me, my lady. I don't want to die in the hands of Concubine Yue."

Concubine Zhuang seemed to be frightened, and she couldn't even hold the teacup in her hand steady: "Aunt, why do you say that? You are someone close to the emperor. Even if Concubine Yue has the courage of the sky, how dare she touch you?"

"She dares!"

Xie Yun knew that Concubine Zhuang was playing dumb, but she could only show her own scars.

"Your Majesty may not know that it was Shen Guang who caused me to fall into the water, but I dare not say it, and the emperor will not believe it. Later, she used my desire to leave the palace to frame me and caused me to be confined by the emperor for several months. And my hands..."

She raised her hand to uncover the layers of white cloth, and the hideous burns appeared in front of Concubine Zhuang, and she gasped: "Ah, how could it be so severe?"

But what flashed in her eyes was indifference. She didn't care how much Xie Yun had suffered at the hands of Xiao Baobao. She just wanted to know how credible this person's words were and whether they could really be used by her.

But she still pretended to ask someone to get the ointment.

Xie Yun took the opportunity to express her loyalty: "Empress Zhuang, you are the only one who can help me in the palace now. The emperor has promised me that I can leave the palace at the age of 25, but if I let Concubine Yue continue to make trouble, I will not live to that time... Please save me, Empress!"

Concubine Zhuang was very surprised: "You will leave the palace at the age of 25?"

Xie Yun nodded vigorously: "Yes, I have no other thoughts in this life, I just want to leave the palace and go to southern Yunnan to find my family."

Concubine Zhuang's eyes flashed with a dark light, but she still looked helpless: "But, but I am not good at fighting, and Concubine Yue is willful and unbridled. I can't protect you... Or you can go to Concubine Liang?"

She seemed to think that she had come up with a good idea, and her face brightened: "Concubine Liang has an old relationship with you and is favored by the emperor. It is best for you to go to her; if you think she is sick and has no energy, you can go to Concubine Hui. She is straightforward and has the support of the empress dowager behind her, and she is not afraid of Concubine Yue..."

"But their positions are too low," Xie Yun seemed to be anxious and lost her sense of proportion, interrupting Concubine Zhuang's words very rashly, "Concubine Yue is a concubine, they can only bow their heads when they see her, and besides..."
