"What is your father's official position?" Dugu Chen asked
Concubine Wan nodded and said: "My father...my father is just a small county magistrate."
"Oh?" Dugu Chen sneered, "I didn't know that now the daughter of a county magistrate can also enter the palace draft."
Concubine Wan's eyes turned slightly red and said: "I know that I am of low status and not worthy of the emperor. However, I can't help myself. Even though the emperor is the man that all women in the world want to marry, this harem is also a concubine."
The place I least want to come to”
As she spoke, Concubine Wan shed tears and said: "On that day, someone in the palace came to say that he would give me a chance to be drafted. Although he said it in a polite way, he secretly made it clear that if I didn't enter the palace,
, not only my concubine, but also my family will die. I know that in the eyes of those with high authority, the lives of my concubine and my family are nothing more than trivial matters..."
Dugu Chen frowned when he heard this, took her hand, and asked: "Someone forced you to come to the draft? Who is it?"
Concubine Wan's eyes were evasive and she was unwilling to answer. Dugu Chen said: "You can just say it, I will make the decision for you."
Concubine Wan stood up, knelt down in front of Dugu Chen, and cried: "It's the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother said that the emperor will definitely love me, and she wants me to be favored by the emperor and help her..."
Dugu Chen actually had the answer in his heart, but he didn't want to believe it. Now when he heard her say that, Dugu Chen's eyes trembled slightly and he said coldly: "Continue talking."
"Help her...help her deal with the Queen..." Concubine Wan wiped her tears and said: "I am a girl from a small family. I have only read a few books and recognized a few words. I just want to find a common man."
Ordinary husbands spend their lives together peacefully, but they never thought that they would end up in such a situation where they can’t help themselves. Your Majesty, I don’t want to be a concubine. I don’t want to do anything. Please allow me to leave the palace and return to my hometown. Concubine.
Fear……"
Dugu Chen stretched out his hand, helped her up, and said calmly: "Now that you have entered the palace, there is no reason to go out again. These things are not up to you. I understand your hard work."
Anything related to the desire for power will always make a person unable to control herself. What's more, she is just the daughter of a small county magistrate, how can she dare to disobey the Queen Mother?
Entering this palace, you are helpless and your destiny is in the hands of powerful people.
It's a pity that she, a simple and innocent girl, has to be involved in such an unbearable entanglement.
"Do you know why the Queen Mother wants to deal with the Queen?" Dugu Chen asked
Concubine Wan shook her head, "I don't know, but the Queen Mother seems to be very intolerant of the Empress and hates the Empress to the core. On the contrary, I respect the Empress very much. Her deeds and allusions are spread among the people.
It is a model that women strive to imitate, so I have always been very distressed and struggling."
Dugu Chen nodded and frowned, "Don't worry, I will protect you from now on. You don't have to obey other people's orders anymore. I will find a way to deal with this matter."
Concubine Wan nodded and said: "Your Majesty will feel at ease knowing that I am a concubine. Even if I cannot protect myself one day, at least the Emperor will know in my heart that I am incapable of controlling myself and am innocent."
Dugu Chen hugged her and said lightly: "I know."
Suddenly, Guo'er burst into the palace in panic and shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good, the nobles Fang and Liang have been poisoned!"
