C4 Insulting

Su Wu didn't reply quickly to the empress dowager, but frowned. For a moment, worry appeared on his handsome face. The empress dowager cast a sidelong glance at him and knew that Shang Yun Mo's life would not be that easy. With the Emperor's personality, it wasn't easy to spoil Lin Tong and allow her to do as she pleased.

"Su Wu, do you know? Every morning she would come to the palace to pay her respects. She heard that her sedan bearer had been bribed by Lintong and had not moved at all. Every time she came, it took her a long time to get here. Although it is within my expectation that Lin Tong would target the Imperial Consort, I have no heart to bear that Lin Tong is so arrogant and rude. " Her Majesty shook her head.

"Lintong has been bringing up the matter of bestowing the title of Lady to the Emperor, but the Emperor has not agreed." Su Wu didn't know how to respond to the empress dowager's words, so he forcefully changed the topic.

The empress dowager narrowed her eyes, a fierce glint flashing through them. "This woman with ill intentions …" However, the Emperor is so stubborn that even I cannot persevere any longer. After all, he is the ruler of a nation. When Su Wu heard the empress dowager's tone, he felt slightly helpless.

"Sigh, this imperial concubine is truly pitiful. The servants, from a sedan bearer to a servant girl, all obey Lin Tong's orders, ignoring a first rank imperial concubine! "But if you say so …" The empress dowager closed her eyes, her grip on Su Wu becoming much stronger. "Is there any difference between my current situation and hers?"

"Empress Dowager …"

"Su Wu, in the future, help me pay more attention to my imperial concubine's condition and protect her from the shadows. You must let her live; the Emperor has always let you handle all the troublesome matters, and with this reason, no one will suspect you. I cannot let that fellow Lin Tong continue to be so carefree. "

The empress dowager once again returned to the soft couch to lean on, her hands supporting her head as if she was drowsy. When Su Wu saw this, he could only tiptoe out of the empress dowager's palace. The Emperor and the Empress Dowager had always taken care of Su Wu, and it was equivalent to being spies on both sides. However, there were some things that could not be reported in detail. This was the wisdom of the Emperor. As a martial general, it was extraordinary for him to have such thoughts.

Only after Su Wu left did the empress dowager open her eyes wide. 'Only if Imperial Concubine survives can our plan be carried out smoothly. I hope she can make it. "

Imperial Consort Palace

Late at night, the sky was so dark that not a single star could be seen. Whether it was the sound of thunder or not, not a single drop of rain fell. The gloomy and dreary environment made one's hair stand on end.

The palace maid who was cleaning the entrance saw a pair of black boots appear in front of her. She looked up along the boots until she clearly saw who the person was.

"General..." "Lord Commander!"

Su Wu nodded and went straight to the point, "Is the Imperial Concubine here?"

The palace maid pursed her lips and asked, "Sir, why are you looking for the Empress?"

"Although it is late in the night, I have come to report to the Empress on an important matter. I must trouble this elder sister to inform you."

He only saw that the palace maid did not go to notify him. Instead, she said hesitantly: "About that … "Actually …" The palace maid used her sleeve to cover her mouth, nervously swallowing her saliva, she said: "Actually … The Empress was called over by Lin Zhenren. "

Su Wu frowned and was about to turn around to leave when he bumped into Shang Yunmo, who was being supported by two palace maids from both sides. Seeing that Shang Yun Mo's posture was off, Su Wu was even more sure of his guess. She had only been in the palace for a few days, Lin Tong could no longer sit still. With her character, it was inevitable that she would do something to Shang Yun Mo.

Shang Yun Mo's pale face was filled with fatigue. Seeing Su Wu's arrival, he immediately said, "So it's the Lord Commander."

"Esteemed Empress, this subject just heard from the palace maid that you went to Lin Tong's place. Why are you so late?"

Shang Yun Mo's expression tensed up before he let the palace maid help him in. With his back facing Su Wu, he said, "I went to serve them …"

"What?" "Empress …" "You …"

Shang Yun Mo turned around and looked angrily at Su Wu and shouted angrily, "You still dare to ask where I have gone to? You who dragged me into this palace, shouldn't you know better! "

Su Wu was stunned for a moment. A part of his memory gradually returned to him.

"Every night! They made me sing, dance, pour wine, serve! With the Emperor by her side, even if she treats me like a prostitute, I can do nothing! Even those lowly palace maids righteously asked me to carry the plates! "

"Empress …" "Your subject …" Su Wu was speechless.

"Do you know, every night! Every night! You are the emperor's personal bodyguard, how can you not know these things? Did you come to me just to humiliate me! "

Shang Yun Mo was so excited that he was about to pounce in front of Su Wu but was held back by the palace maid beside him.

"Empress, please calm down! Your Majesty indeed did not know that the Lord Commander had given the order. The Empress shouldn't have let out her anger on the Lord Commander! "

The tears in her eyes were forcefully swallowed down by Shang Yun Mo. She could not cry, nor could she cry!

"Well, since it's already like this, what's the use in blaming you?" "What's more, I don't even have the qualifications to punish someone …"

"This humble subject... "I don't dare!"

Shang Yun Mo laughed coldly, but the corners of his mouth did not even have a hint of a smile, "You don't dare? Why wouldn't you dare? In this palace, who doesn't know that apart from the Emperor, you, a commander, have the highest status? Go, I don't want to see anyone right now. "

"Then this humble official will come again to visit the Empress another day. This humble subject will take his leave. "

In just a few short days, Shang Yunmo had experienced a major change and pain in his life. Lin Tong's torture and the Emperor's disregard had already caused Shang Yunmo to wish he were dead, so why would Shang Yunmo listen to Su Wu coming to find him for?

It was still His Majesty's will.

She started to understand that if she wanted to survive in this harem, she had to become a monster who ate people without blinking an eye like Lintong. Only then could she climb up step by step and trample all the bullies under her feet!

Imperial Consort's Palace.

It was already late in the night. The huge palace city was like a pool of still water, without a single ripple. However, in the short span of a few days, Shang Yunmo deeply understood that even though this palace city seemed magnificent, with countless people trying to obtain it. However, this pool of stagnant water had once silently devoured many young lives, and many people had buried their youth here!

However, it would not stop. Not only it, it was also the endless desire within the harem.

Whether she wanted to or not, she was already in this mess. In order to survive, she had to prevent people like Lintong from plotting against her, and it was best to hold on to a lifesaving float. The best and most helpless option was that moody and ruthless Emperor!

Shang Yunmo stared intently at the dark red curtains covering the bed, unable to sleep for the entire night.
