Chapter 609: True Hearts Change in a Flash
Because it was so precious and she felt sad to see it damaged, Nian Susu held her back and neck straight the whole time. When she finally returned to Zhongling Palace, she immediately asked the palace maids to help her take off the phoenix crown and her phoenix robe until she was left with only her inner clothes.
The palace maids did not dare to leave such valuable things lying around, so they carried them to the storehouse for storage as soon as they were unloaded.
Zhihua was the only one serving in the hall.
Nian Susu was lying on the couch, Zhihua was kneeling beside her and massaging her back and shoulders, which relieved a lot of the pain.
"Your Highness..." She blurted out these two words subconsciously.
Zhihua disagreed and gently reminded her: "Your Highness, the Emperor has held the coronation ceremony, and you have also taken over the Phoenix Seal and become the Queen. It's time to change your words."
Nian Susu's eyelashes trembled and gradually drooped. She folded her arms and rested her chin on them, as if she was thinking about something.
"Does it hurt..."
"Where is this?"
“Is the force appropriate?”
Nian Susu was so comfortable that she almost fell asleep. Her eyelids were drooping. After she finally closed her eyes, Zhihua woke her up, "My Lady! The Madam is here!"
Nian Susu woke up with a start. She raised her head so sharply that she almost sprained her neck. She rubbed the back of her neck and asked in confusion, "Who's here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps were heard, and a familiar voice came from the door: "Who else could it be?"
Nian Susu's eyes sparkled with brilliance, and he said in surprise, "Mom! Mom is here!"
After she was conferred the title, Yang Yuerong was also canonized as a first-rank lady, and even the relatives of the Nian family who had not been in contact with her for decades also benefited from it. It can be said that when one person gained fame, the whole family benefited.
"Your Majesty, go slow." Zhihua was happy and worried. Nian Susu turned over and sat up, then ran out without even putting on her shoes. Yang Yuerong happened to walk in and bumped into her.
Nian Susu hugged Yang Yuerong, and was so happy that he said, "Mom, we haven't seen each other for almost a year, right?"
Yang Yuerong blamed her for being so unstable even though she was the queen, but the smile never fell.
Zhihua poured the tea and quietly retreated to the door.
Nian Susu had been in the harem for a long time and hadn't seen her family. Her eyes felt sore. She held Yang Yuerong's hand and started crying, "Mom, you don't know how much I miss you and Dad."
"I heard that Dad has not been in good health since he came out of the prison. As his daughter, I have not been able to go back to see him..."
Hearing her say these words while crying, Yang Yuerong couldn't help wiping away tears.
"Lingling, don't worry about home, your father and I are fine."
"As for you... once you enter the palace, it will be like entering a deep ocean. Your mother can't be by your side to take care of you, and your father can't interfere in the affairs of the harem. You will have to walk the future alone..." Yang Yuerong burst into tears.
The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried, their tears seemed to never stop flowing.
She understood the truth, and she was prepared to deal with the difficulties in the future, but when she really heard these caring words from her loved ones, it was still hard not to be moved.
"Well, we finally get to meet, you should be happy." Yang Yuerong pushed Nian Susu away, held her shoulders, and looked her up and down, her eyes full of relief and joy, as if she wanted to carve her appearance into her eyes, "Lingling has grown up, and is no longer the little girl who only knows how to get into trouble."
The tears that Nian Susu had held back with great difficulty almost burst out again.
She forced a smile and said, "Mom, I will take good care of myself and will never make you and Dad worry. Don't worry."
"Emperor...Emperor, he treats me very well, I will not be bullied." Nian Susu's voice became much softer, he always felt that this title was strange.
Yang Yuerong suddenly remembered something and looked terrified.
Nian Susu was puzzled, "Mom...what's wrong?"
Yang Yuerong held her hand and said in a heavy tone, "Lingling, there is something I must talk to you about."
She nodded, feeling a little uneasy.
"You are the only one in the harem now, so the emperor naturally dotes on you. He gives you whatever you want and dotes on you in every way. But when a new woman enters the palace, can he still choose only you among all the flowers?" Yang Yuerong's face was full of "impossible". She knew best what kind of people men were. Not to mention a concubine who came to their doorstep, even if she didn't belong to them, they would want to snatch her home and make her their own if they took a fancy to her.
Nian Susu's eyes darkened, and she didn't answer, because she didn't dare to guarantee it. Sincerity is ever-changing, and nothing will remain the same as before.
Seeing her expression, Yang Yuerong began to think, and continued, "I have always only heard the new people laugh, but never heard the old people cry. If the emperor has a new favorite, where will your position be?"
"But now that you are sitting on the throne of the empress, even if you are out of favor, your life will not be too difficult. As long as the emperor does not dislike you, he will treat you with respect and respect. As long as you are respected by the emperor, the concubines below you will have to bow respectfully when they see you, no matter how dissatisfied they are."
Yang Yuerong sighed regretfully, "Mother doesn't understand any great principles, but having lived in the imperial court for more than 40 years, I know the tactics and struggles between women. You must be careful in the future, and don't let yourself be harmed without knowing who the murderer is."
Nian Susu felt heavy-hearted, as if a huge rock was pressing on his chest.
She thought that after enduring so much blame and going through so many hardships, she would finally be able to live a good life, but what she got in the end was palace fighting.
Yang Yuerong patted the back of her hand and said earnestly, "Mother knows that you and the emperor are in love, but which emperor only has one woman? Even if he only loves you and refuses to take concubines, will the ministers agree? Will the world agree?"
"When the time comes, he will be caught in the middle and be in a dilemma. Can you bear it?"
Nian Susu's temples were throbbing. Her tired body was severely overloaded and she felt like she could not hold on any longer.
Yang Yuerong sighed, "Instead of being forced into a corner and then compromising, it would be better for you to take the initiative to compromise. Not only can you win a good reputation, but it won't be too embarrassing."
Nian Susu no longer remembered what Yang Yuerong said in the last words. After sending her out of Zhongling Palace with a dazed head, he couldn't hold on and fell to the ground.
Several palace maids came to help her with terrified faces. One was so scared that he almost cried, one was anxious to get the imperial physician, and another wanted to help her up, but when he saw that her face was so pale and her legs were so weak with fear, he failed to help her up and almost fell down himself.
Nian Susu's eyes were a little blurry and he couldn't hear clearly what they were saying.
She only said one sentence: "Don't tell His Highness." Then she stood up and walked back to the bedroom with one foot light and one foot heavy.
Several palace maids were new and had never seen her in this state. They were at a loss as to what to do and had to ask Zhihua, who was registering in the warehouse, to come.
It was getting dark, the moonlight was bright, and Zhongling Palace was quiet. Several palace maids were on duty in the corridor, whispering to each other.
Zhihua suddenly came out and scared them.
"The Queen said that she doesn't need anyone to serve her tonight, so you can go back."
