Chapter 190 The Crown Princess is Kind-hearted
Wang Yu was stunned. Forgive? How could that be possible?
How could she forgive him for causing her to lose all hope?
However, Wang Yu did not reveal the hatred in her heart.
At this moment, there was no point for her to hate Sima Gong.
She didn't want to fall out and didn't want His Majesty and the Queen to see her resentment.
"Your Highness, what nonsense are you talking about? I have never blamed Your Highness." Wang Yu still had a neutral smile on her face, as if there was really no ripple in her heart.
Sima Gong didn't believe her, so how could he not feel resentful?
Before, Wang Yu had complaints and disgust all over her face. He was reluctant to destroy her, so he pretended not to understand and not see it.
But he wasn't stupid! He knew exactly whether Wang Yu resented him or not.
But now...
Wang Yu was unwilling to tell the truth and pretended to obey him but secretly disobeyed him.
He doesn't blame Wang Yu!
He was the one who betrayed Wang Yu first, so what right did she have to blame him?
Sima Gong's tears burst out again.
It's too late to say anything now.
After his death, let Wang Yu live a peaceful life.
"My dear, after I die, all the people in Fangfei Courtyard and the childless ladies in the Eastern Palace must be buried with me." Sima Gong whispered as he instructed about the arrangements for his afterlife.
Upon hearing this, Wang Yu's heart was filled with shock.
Sima Gong also wanted those women to be buried with him?
Is he still a human being?
Wang Yu suppressed her anger and continued to look at Sima Gong expressionlessly, "Does Your Highness really like those women so much?"
"No... the person I love most is you, Er." Sima Gong defended.
He couldn't even count the women around him, but the one he cared about the most and was reluctant to part with was his Crown Princess.
He couldn't bear to let Wang Yu be buried with him, so he could only let those women who made him what he is today go to hell with him.
Of course! As the Crown Princess, there was absolutely no reason for Wang Yu to be buried alive with the deceased.
Even the four concubines of the Eastern Palace did not have to be buried alive with the emperor.
As for those ladies who did not become Royal Jade Butterflies, and those nameless and unnamed women in Fangfei Courtyard, he could do whatever he wanted with them.
Wang Yu almost couldn't help but mock him, but in the end she forced herself to hold back.
At this point, there is no point in saying anything.
She would not accompany Sima Gong in making trouble, for she was afraid that she would go to the eighteen levels of hell after her death because she was stained with so much blood.
However, persuading Sima Gong to change his mind now would backfire, so she could only agree for now.
"Okay! They have caused discord between me and your Highness. I will let them follow your Highness forever." Wang Yu agreed.
Sima Gong felt relieved, knowing that he would not be alone with them accompanying him on the road to the underworld.
Seeing Sima Gong fall into a deep sleep, Wang Yu pulled her hand away. After washing her hands in the outer room, she sat directly on the soft couch in the outer room.
Sima Gong wanted to kill those women, and it was unknown whether he would send others to do it.
She still had to make arrangements early. The East Palace's guard chief, Xu Liang, and Sima Gong were birds of a feather. After Sima Gong's death, the first person she would deal with was Xu Liang!
Wang Yu returned to her own courtyard and sent someone to invite Deputy Commander Lu Yanping over.
Lu Yanping was the best martial artist and the most capable among the guards of the Eastern Palace. Unfortunately, he was a very upright person and did not know how to flatter or please Sima Gong, let alone join Sima Gong in making trouble. Therefore, even if he established the palace, Xu Liang would take away the credit.
After they moved out of the Eastern Palace, she replaced Xu Liang with Lu Yanping as the chief guard in the mansion.
Not long after, Lu Yanping entered the main hall of the East Palace under the guidance of two maids.
"I pay my respects to the Crown Princess." Lu Yanping knelt down and saluted.
Wang Yu waved her hand and said, "Guard Lu, there's no need to be so polite. I asked you to come here today because I want you to do something.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered that all the girls from Fangfei Courtyard be released! If they have somewhere to go, give them ten taels of silver and let them go.
If they wanted to leave but had nowhere to go, Guard Lu would use the five hundred taels of silver to buy a house to house them.
I heard that Guard Lu’s wife used to be an embroiderer. I wonder if it would be possible to teach them embroidery so that they can also make a living?
If Madam Lu doesn't want to trouble them, she can ask other embroiderers to teach them.
Those who are diligent and reliable can be allowed to stay, but if they are greedy for pleasure and unwilling to support themselves, Guard Lu will not pay any attention to them and let them fend for themselves."
Wang Yu arranged that some of the girls were forced by Sima Gong, while others followed Sima Gong voluntarily.
She is willing to help those innocent girls, but she is unwilling to let those who are willing to degenerate and want to curry favor with the rich and powerful suffer.
Lu Yanping took the order and left. He took the silver and went to do his business.
He had always known that the Crown Princess was a good person.
If the Crown Princess had not protected his Yinniang, he would not have the happy family he has today.
He has always remembered this kindness, but he has never found an opportunity to repay the Crown Princess.
Now that the Crown Prince is seriously ill and the Crown Princess is having a hard time, he will stand firmly on the side of the Crown Princess and obey her orders.
After Lu Yanping left the palace, he went home first.
As soon as he entered the house, Yinniang looked at him with concern, "Husband! How is the situation in the Eastern Palace? Is the Crown Princess okay? She..."
Yinniang wanted to say something but stopped herself. She knew that she shouldn't ask too many questions or inquire too much at this moment.
But the Crown Princess was very kind to her, and she didn't want anything to happen to her.
If the Crown Princess had not protected her, she would have been abused by the Crown Prince.
Any woman with some beauty in the Eastern Palace could not escape the disaster.
She had only gone into the Eastern Palace to make new clothes for the Crown Princess, but she almost couldn't get out.
It was the Crown Princess who sent her out of the palace and gave her money to leave the Imperial Mansion, so that she could marry Lu Yanping smoothly.
The Crown Princess is such a good person, but now she is implicated by that damned Crown Prince. She feels heartbroken for her.
"Yinniang, don't worry. The queen is fine. I will be very busy in the next few days. You take good care of the children and don't go out unless necessary. Let Uncle Li go shopping." Lu Yanping reminded.
He whispered soothingly, "I will help you protect the Crown Princess, don't worry."
Yinniang opened her mouth, but in the end she said nothing.
Lu Yanping is just the deputy commander of the Eastern Palace, a fifth-rank official. He is simply unable to do many things, and she doesn't want to put so much pressure on him.
"Husband, you must take care of yourself too. The Queen is lacking loyal people around her now, so you can't fall down first." Yinniang warned.
Lu Yanping touched her face, comforted her a few words, then went to the pawnshop to buy a house, and finally took the token of the Eastern Palace to Fangfeiyuan.
There were more than fifty beauties living in Fangfei Courtyard. They were used to competing with each other for beauty and dressing up in all kinds of colors. Lu Yanping was given a headache for a while.
Lu Yanping explained his purpose, "The Crown Prince is not feeling well and needs to rest. I have ordered you to leave. Those who wish to leave and have a place to go can come and collect ten taels of silver and leave."
