Terror at Night at Winter Moon Palace

Imperial concubine Jing stared at imperial concubine Yuan Shu while thinking to herself; however, no matter what, she could not figure out what exactly imperial concubine Yuan Shu would tell her?

She did indeed have an elder brother that coordinated things in the palace. In truth, feelings of remorse toward the imperial concubines did exist in the Emperor’s heart. But that’s just how people were. In the past, it was within his rights as the Emperor to take all kinds of concubines and imperial concubines. Visiting the inner palace as he pleased was perfectly normal. But once he met Yun Pian Pian, he felt that meeting with other women was a sin. That was why the Emperor took great care of the families of the imperial concubines. Even a lowly concubine was able to have her elder brother become a deputy commander of the imperial guards.

Imperial concubine Yuan Shu did not have any family members with this ability. That was why she turned her gaze on imperial concubine Jing.

The two looked at each other for a long time. Just as imperial concubine Yuan Shu was running out of patience, imperial concubine Jing asked: “Since you want to use me, you should let me know what this is about. What benefit is there for me.”

Imperial concubine Yuan Shu curled her lips into a faint smile, “If we’re talking about benefits, then a life similar to how it was 20 years ago will reappear. Does younger sister feel that this is not enticing enough?”

Imperial concubine Jing was shocked: “Return to a life from 20 years ago? Elder sister Shu, you haven’t gone senile, right? How could that be possible?”

“If this One says it’s possible, it’s possible.” Imperial concubine Yuan Shu leaned forward, “As long as imperial concubine Yun is gotten rid of, all of this will be possible.”

Concubine Jing felt that imperial concubine Yuan Shu had lost her mind. As for herself, she actually spoke with this madwoman for such a long time. She immediately stood up and coldly said to her palace maid: “Send imperial concubine Yuan Shu out. If imperial concubine Shu is feeling unwell, have an imperial physician take a look. Over the past 20 years, there haven’t just been one or two imperial concubines that have gone crazy. Thinking about it, imperial concubine Yuan Shu is following in their footsteps.”

Seeing that concubine Jing viewed her as a lunatic, imperial concubine Yuan Shu did not know whether to laugh or cry. Yue Xiu, who was with her, interjected, telling concubine Jing: “Our imperial concubine has not gone crazy. The crazy one is that imperial concubine Yun. This time, there is no need for us to take care of her. She herself has gone out. Concubine Jing might not know, but imperial concubine Yun is currently not in the palace. She fled, and Winter Moon Palace is currently empty.”

“Empty?” Concubine Jing was stunned once more. Although they had all become accustomed to imperial concubine Yun’s usual brash and carefree attitude, she actually had the daring to flee the palace. This was too stunning.

“Younger sister, what do you think his Majesty will feel upon hearing of this matter?” An imperial concubine that escaped the palace on her own, even if the Emperor wanted to protect her, there would be a number of eyes watching him. That woman actually tarnished the reputation of Da Shun’s ruler. Do you think that those old officials would be lenient over this matter? This is a good chance to trip up imperial concubine Yun. As long as imperial concubine Yun is removed, this palace will be like it was in the past. Younger sister will also have a chance to take care of the ruler. Like that, you will no longer just be a concubine.”

It had to be said that imperial concubine Yuan Shu’s words had touched concubine Jing’s heart. Imperial concubine Yun fleeing the palace was an opportunity that only came around once every thousand years! Unfortunately… “What is the relation between this and my elder brother?”
