Chapter 1144： Changed appearance

Since being imprisoned, most of the subordinates here have been dismissed and assigned to other places to serve. Only Mother Qi and Yindie are left.

They all came from Jin's house with Jin Yao and were loyal to her.

It's quiet everywhere.

Yundai walked to the middle of the courtyard, just as Yindie walked out with a basin of water.

When she saw Yun Dai, she stayed for a while, as if she couldn't believe her eyes.

"It's not polite to see the empress," Qing Yi said.

Yindie came back to his senses and knelt down hurriedly: "The slave servant has seen the empress."

"Get up." Yun Dai said, "My palace is just passing by here, come and have a look. Where is Lady Jin?"

"Little lord is resting in the house." Yindie stood up, lowered her eyes, and whispered.

Yun Dai nodded and walked into Jin Yao's bedroom.

Compared with the bright sunshine outside in late summer, the room looked a bit cold.

Jin Yao was sitting in front of the mirror, and Mother Qi was standing behind her, combing her hair.

"White hair seems to be a lot more." Jin Yao's low voice came, hearing a little low and weak.

"No, it's because the mother is too worried. It looks the same as the previous day." Mother Qi said with a smile.

Yindie followed up and whispered: "Master, the empress is here."

Madam Qi turned around when she heard the words. She didn't speak or salute.

To be honest, things have reached the point they are today, and there is nothing left to say.

Whether it's polite or not, that's the case.

Anyway, Mother Qi had made up her mind and she wanted to go with Jin Yao.

Jin Yao sat in front of the mirror without moving.

She was wearing a white skirt and her hair dangled, as if she had just woke up.

"I said who it is, it turns out that the empress is here." She stroked her hair, stood up, and turned to look at Yun Dai.

Although the light in the room was a bit dim, Yun Dai could still see her face clearly.

This surprised Yun Dai.

"Are you... Jin Yao?" she asked subconsciously.

Jin Yao raised her hand to touch her face, walked a few steps towards her, and whispered quietly: "Why, I haven't seen you for half a month, the empress and nobles have forgotten things, and forgot that they are not concubines."

Tsing Yi also looked at her in shock.

Jin Yao at this time is not the same as the beautiful girl half a month ago.

She has loose skin, wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and a lot of gray hair.

She looked like a forty or fifty-year-old woman, older than the mother Qi beside her.

"How did you become like this?" Yun Dai asked.

"Why? Probably, it's retribution." Jin Yao walked to the bed and sat down and said, "The concubine is weak and can't stand for a long time. Please also ask the empress to forgive her concubine for her rudeness."

Yundai walked over, looked at her, and said, "Is it because of the medicine you took?"

"Yes." Jin Yao looked dumb. "Before taking it, Xiangu said that this medicine is only temporary, and once the effect of the medicine fades, it will do me a lot of harm. But I thought, as long as I can get the heart of the emperor, even if it is What's the point if you die immediately?"

"Does it make sense for you to do this?"

"Isn't there?" Jin Yao looked up at her, "The empress is only seventeen. She is young and beautiful and has many years to live. Naturally, she doesn't understand the mind of a concubine."

"But in the end, you got nothing."

"Who said no?" Jin Yao smiled, "I, I still got the emperor's heart after all."

"you have not."

"The queen empress doesn't have to rush to deny it. If not, why did the empress come here to the concubine?" Jin Yao smiled on some of the old faces, "This shows that the emperor has indeed received the fragrance of lovesickness. The influence of him. He can’t forget me. It’s enough for me.”
