Chapter 181 The Mind Reader 13
As early as when the Dog Emperor was just injured, Shen Yuan had already sent a message back to the Pei family, asking them to be prepared.
The current head of the Pei family is the original owner's father, and the heir is his biological brother, both of whom are capable people.
Moreover, they all recognized the original owner's abilities and never ignored her opinions.
Therefore, even though the emperor was in his prime and in good health, there was no sign of premature death.
After receiving the news, he immediately took action and consulted with the people of the Pei family in the court. He had already arranged a series of things including what would happen to the emperor and support the prince to ascend to the throne.
After listening to Lord Pei's report, Shen Yuan couldn't help but sigh, thinking that he was just here for the formality.
It's great that my family is so capable! I don't have to do anything, I can just lie down.
It’s a pity that such a smart family died so miserably in their previous life.
Who would have thought that? The dog emperor could actually read your mind. He would just sit down in front of you and give you some guidance, and then he would get all the information.
No wonder the original owner and the Pei family tried everywhere to catch the spy but couldn't find him.
The spy turned out to be me? What a dark humor.
"Everything depends on Daddy." Shen Yuan said as he stood up and bowed to Lord Pei.
"Don't worry, Shuang'er," Master Pei stroked his beard, "but you still need to keep an eye on the palace. You must appease the imperial concubine and others, and don't let them mess things up."
Chen Yuan said: "My daughter saved it."
The four concubines are not difficult to deal with. They entered the palace for the sake of their respective families. Even if they have some feelings for the dog emperor, they have almost wasted their time in these few months.
After crying for a while outside the Yangxin Palace, they realized that the dog emperor was doomed and began to think about their future plans.
After Chen Yuan's threats and inducements, the few people quickly recognized the situation, bargained, gained enough benefits for themselves, and became her supporters.
Soon, the little prince ascended the throne smoothly with the support of his ministers, and the half-dead dog emperor was promoted to the position of emperor emeritus.
Shen Yuan moved to Ci'an Palace and was named Empress Dowager, and the concubines were promoted to Grand Concubine and Grand Imperial Concubine.
For others of lower rank and without childbearing, Shen Yuan granted permission to return home and remarry. Of course, those who did not want to leave could continue to stay in the palace.
As for Concubine Mei, Shen Yuan, as a virtuous and generous queen mother, certainly could not let the emperor lose his most beloved concubine.
She was specially promoted to a higher level and given the title of Mei Taipin, and was sent to the side of the retired emperor to accompany him for life.
The eunuch who delivered the imperial eunuch came back to report that she was very happy, so moved that tears streamed down her face, and she was crying for joy!
Shen Yuan: ...
This young eunuch is quite a talent, as he can express heartbreak and tears in such a refreshing and refined way.
She waved her hand and said, "Reward!"
The young eunuch was overjoyed: "Thank you, Queen Mother!"
On the other hand, the retired emperor who had moved to Anle Palace to recuperate finally saw the person he had been thinking about.
But unlike what he had imagined, the two star-crossed lovers hugged each other and cried, relying on each other for survival, the first thing he heard was an overwhelming barrage of abuse.
[No, I don't accept it. Why? Why are they all imperial concubines? They can enjoy wealth and luxury in the harem and can leave the palace to marry, but I can only take care of a paralytic? ]
[Bitch! Bitch! The bitch Queen is just taking revenge on me! ]
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Queen Mother, I know I was wrong, please forgive me!"
"I am willing to leave the palace and go far away. I will never bother you again. Please forgive me, Queen Mother!"
Mei Taipin cried out at the top of her lungs, and when she was dragged in, she was still struggling with her hands and feet. How could she look as gentle and lovely as usual? She looked like a madman.
Chu Yu: ...
Chu Yu’s heart almost broke. Was this really the innocent, cute, simple-minded Mei’er whom he loved dearly?
The two eunuchs ignored Concubine Mei's struggles, dragged her to the center of the room, and threw her to the ground without any mercy.
"The Empress Dowager has ordered that Concubine Mei, who is deeply in love with the Retired Emperor, is allowed to accompany the Retired Emperor and serve him personally."
The young eunuch looked down at her, curling the corners of his lips in disdain: "My Lady Concubine, the Queen Mother has good intentions and is doing this for you. Why don't you accept the order and thank her?"
After he finished speaking, he walked away in a haughty manner, leaving Concubine Mei slumped on the ground with a look of despair, her heart filled with malice:
[What good intentions? The bitch Queen just wants to torture me. She hates me for competing with her for the emperor, so now she deliberately makes me serve a paralytic! ]
[She has evil intentions, but she still wants me to thank her. Why? Why? ]
[Why is my life so miserable? I was born in a small family of a seventh-rank county magistrate, and my life is not as rich as that of a merchant family.]
[I finally had the chance to enter the palace, but I was looked down upon everywhere. Even the old maids in the palace dared to give me a cold shoulder.]
[What's wrong with me working hard to climb up? Are you ladies from aristocratic families born superior to others? ]
[I just want to stand high and never be looked down upon again! ]
[I am not wrong, I am not wrong! The one who is wrong is the useless emperor! He can't even handle a woman, he is hesitant and ends up losing himself. He is so useless! ]
Useless Emperor Chu Yu: ...
"Bitch...bitch..."
Chu Yu, who was so angry that he had judged him to be unable to speak, actually uttered a few unclear words.
Mei Taipin was startled, then rushed over in great joy: "Your Majesty, can you speak now?"
"That's great, that's great! Imperial Physician! Call the Imperial Physician! The Emperor can speak now, the Emperor is getting better!"
[I didn't lose, I still have a chance to turn the tables, hahahahaha——]
[Your Majesty, you don’t know how much injustice I have suffered these days. The Empress is too much. She didn’t even allow me to come to see you...]
She suddenly complained in her heart. Chu Yu was confused for a moment, but he was not completely stupid and reacted quickly.
The look he gave her was filled with deep hatred: It turned out that this bitch had long known that she could hear other people's thoughts, and had been pretending all along!
Confused, he is really confused!
How could there be people in this world who think the same thing as they say?
He thought he was blessed and met someone with a truly pure heart, but it turned out that everything was just a scam.
And I really fell for it, and because of her, I ended up in this situation.
He glared at the woman who was still pretending to be righteous, a "ho ho" sound came out of his mouth, and tears of regret rolled down the corners of his eyes.
Concubine Mei was frightened by his terrifying look. Recalling what she had been thinking before, she felt guilty for a moment, but she quickly regained her confidence.
He ruined a good situation, so what's wrong with me complaining a few times?
