419. Chapter 419 I Didn't Expect Concubine Shu to Come to See Me
The servants stopped what they were doing and looked at Xia Shuting in confusion. Seeing Xia Shuting narrowing her eyes, she walked up to Yu'er and said, "Did you just say that Shangguan Yu had a fever in the cold palace?"
"Yes...yes, empress!"
Yu'er didn't dare to raise her eyes, but nodded tremblingly.
Xia Shuting didn't answer, she just narrowed her eyes, curled up the corners of her lips with a sinister look, and after a while, she chuckled softly.
"Since the former empress is ill, it seems unreasonable for me to manage the harem now and not visit her."
After that, he motioned to the servants to release Yu'er and said: "I will go to the cold palace with you."
Yu'er didn't know why Concubine Xia Shu suddenly became so kind, but now that she was safe for the time being, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Her legs were so weak that she had no strength, but she still worked hard to keep up with Xia Shuting's footsteps.
In a daze, Shangguan Yu woke up from his drowsiness. His throat felt like it was on fire, feeling hot and uncomfortable.
She slowly sat up with her weak body, feeling that her head was so heavy that it seemed like it would fall off her neck.
Her whole body was weak, as if all her strength had been drained away. She stood up, put on her shoes with difficulty, stumbled to the table, and poured herself a cup of tea.
With trembling and weak hands, he brought the tea to his mouth, but his completely weak fingers could not hold the cup firmly. There was only a "pop" sound, and the cup in his hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
Looking at the ceramic shards in front of him, Shangguan Yu frowned and wanted to reach out to pour himself some water. At this moment, a voice of gloating came from the door.
"Hey! Our former empress has been locked up in the cold palace for so long, and her temper has grown quite a bit."
This strange and sarcastic voice made Shangguan Yu move his fingertips slightly and cast his eyes slowly toward the door.
At the door of the room, she saw Xia Shuting and a group of servants following her, as if she had specially brought her family to watch a play.
At the same time, she saw Yu'er who was hiding among the servants, shaking with fear and looking pale. Her eyes were full of fear and fear, and she looked at Shangguan Yu with a somewhat helpless look.
Shangguan Yu's heart tightened slightly, and a feeling of uneasiness surged into her chest.
She vaguely remembered that Yu'er seemed to come to see her early in the morning, and then ran out again.
How could she be in Concubine Xia Shu's hands?
She knew that Xia Shuting was not a good person, and she also knew that Xia Shuting had always wanted to find opportunities to make things difficult for her.
I heard that Nangong Shuo asked Xia Shuting to temporarily act as queen a few days ago. Now, Xia Shuting must have come specially to show off her power, right?
She smiled coldly in her heart, feeling that the behavior of Concubine Xia Shu in front of her was too ridiculous and childish.
Now that she is in such a high position, she does not spend time dealing with the royal concubine who is also eyeing the position of queen, but instead spends a lot of time to target her, a former queen who has become outdated and will be executed at any time?
She knew what Xia Shuting was thinking about during this trip. Even though she couldn't find any strength in her body, she still forced herself to stand up straight and face the domineering Concubine Xia Shuting in front of her.
The corners of her bloodless lips raised upwards. She looked at Xia Shuting and said, "I didn't expect that Concubine Shu would also come to see me. I was really shocked."
