Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 562: Soft-hearted Huang Ye confronts Hong Dou

Ningyuxuan.

Huang Ye felt a little guilty when he said this to the emperor.

"I just don't want to delay things for too long. This will be detrimental to my pregnancy."

The more Huang Ye spoke, the more she felt that this was the case and she had done nothing wrong.

As for the fact that the emperor had opposed what she had proposed a few days ago, she chose to forget it.

"What you said makes sense."

Whenever Huang Ye mentioned nurturing the fetus, the emperor would always agree.

So he actually agreed with Huang Ye's plan.

"But, things are a little different from what I planned..."

Huang Ye didn’t know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

"Oh, what happened?"

The emperor asked with interest.

Huang Ye told the emperor about Hongyue's return home this time.

Hongyue is from Ningyuxuan, and she also has a criminal record.

Huang Ye was of course extremely worried about her.

So after discussing it with Eunuch Yu, she mobilized a secret guard in the palace who was good at hiding.

The secret guard had been following Hongyue since the moment she walked out of Ningyuxuan.

So what happened after Hongyue returned home, including what she said to her mother at night.

The secret guard heard it all clearly.

And what she said when Shi Yaoyao stopped her after Hongyue returned to the palace...

The secret guard also saw Hongyue leaning against the tree in a daze, and thought that she should be fine.

He returned to Ningyuxuan ahead of time and told Huang Ye everything that had happened to Hongyue in the past two days.

To be honest, after hearing what the secret guard said, Huang Ye felt that he had become a little soft-hearted.

She now fully understands the feelings of the Hongyue family towards Hongyue.

Because it was a famine year and there were old and young people in that family.

If they hadn't sold the Red Moon, they didn't know if they could have gotten through it smoothly.

It was because of the sale of the Red Moon that their family survived the famine.

The whole family now feels guilty towards Hongyue.

So this is the current situation of their family.

Her parents loved her very much, and her brothers and sisters also respected her very much.

Hongyue, the eldest daughter and elder sister who made sacrifices for the family, won the love and respect of the whole family.

And Hongyue's mother...

The words she said came from the bottom of her heart, expressing her respect and trust for the queen.

Huang Ye originally thought that after revealing the page about Shi Yaoyao, he would kill Hong Yue.

This would also prevent her from being an annoyance in Ning Yuxuan all day long.

Anyway, she deserved to die, didn't she?

But now she feels...

If she really killed Hongyue, would she be betraying Hongyue's mother's trust in her?

It's not that Huang Ye is short-sighted and likes to hear flattery.

Anyway, Huang Ye has a very good impression of Hong Yue Niang.

Because the words she said could only be said by a mother who truly loves her child.

Huang Ye herself is about to become a mother, so she can empathize with others.

Just imagine how a mother feels when she is forced to sell her own child.

If she knew that her child was dead...

Huang Ye shook her head. She should not go to that extent.

This can also be considered as doing good deeds for the baby in her belly.

After the emperor heard Huang Ye’s story about Hongyue’s return home, he was silent for a while.

"You can handle this matter as you wish."

In fact, the emperor was very satisfied that the people under his rule had such a high level of awareness.

Not only was he not disgusted with the people in Hongyue's family, but he was very interested in Hongyue's younger brother.

A fourteen-year-old child is struggling to make ends meet.

He didn't even covet the silver his sister sent back.

He also said that he would keep it for his sister and return it to her after she left the palace in the future.

He wanted Eunuch Yu to send someone over to investigate thoroughly.

If the child's character is really good enough, he can pass the test.

He planned to send him to the grassroots level of the Ministry of Household Affairs to give him some good training.

What the Ministry of Revenue lacks now is this kind of talent.

At that time, the emperor had never thought that Hongyue's younger brother had never been to school.

A child who has never been to school is of no use no matter how good his character is.

"Now that I think about it, that Red Moon isn't such an unforgivable evil..."

Huang Ye made excuses for Hong Yue.

"She was deposed and taken to Ning Yuxuan at that time, and it was not something she could control."

"Then why did she listen to the deposed queen and bury the doll in the yard?"

Hongdou didn't like what Huangye said.

She hates Hongyue now.

"When the queen came to Ningyuxuan, she already told you that if they have any troubles, they can tell you?"

Huang Ye rolled her eyes at Hong Dou.

"I had just entered the palace at that time, and she didn't know my worth yet. Besides, the deposed queen was still at the height of her power..."

It was understandable that Hongyue did not dare to trust her and did not dare to disobey the order of the deposed queen at that time.

"What about Concubine Lin? She helped Concubine Lin get the dress..."

"If someone holds a sword and asks me to hand over my clothes, and threatens my life if I don't, I will save my life first."

Huang Ye refuted Hong Dou with confidence.

"I've told you many times that nothing is more important than your own life. Only when you save your life can you think about other things."

Hongdou was left speechless after being refuted by Huangye.

The queen has said this before.

She originally wanted to say that even when her life was in danger, Hongyue chose to hand over the clothes because she valued her life.

But after that person left, Hongyue could confess to the Empress.

But Hongdou was also afraid that she might make the Empress angry.

Because the emperor was still sitting here, watching the two of them bickering with great interest.

"Then, Madam Queen, what do you think we should do with Hong Yue?"

Anko asked tentatively.

"I want to give her a chance and see how she will deal with the Shi Yaoyao incident next."

Huang Ye was very satisfied with Hongyue's performance today.

She did not succumb to Shi Yaoyao's threats and provocations, but chose to confront her head-on.

This shows that Hongyue is extremely smart.

She knew how to assess the situation and knew Shi Yaoyao's current situation...

Shi Yaoyao is not someone who would give up her plan easily.

She knew that she was not powerful enough to threaten Hongyue, so she might look for help.

Next, she just had to wait and see what Shi Yaoyao would do.

As for Hongyue's thoughts during that time, Huang Ye also expressed that he could understand.

An eighteen-year-old girl is at the age when she is beginning to fall in love.

And the emperor is so outstanding and so powerful...

If it were her.

Huang Ye felt that she would have the same idea.

After all, as long as one is a human being, he or she has a desire to improve himself or herself, right?

I believe that after listening to what her mother said, Hongyue will no longer have any wishful thinking about the emperor.

Just as Huang Ye imagined.

When Shi Yaoyao saw Hongyue leave like that, she was extremely angry.
