Chapter 134 Farewell to Zhao Qing Qing

Ah Qing was efficient in his work, and after a day, he quietly brought the person into the Kunde Palace .

Ah Qing showed great respect, “Your Highness, the person has arrived.”

Qing Dai stepped forward to receive, “Thank you for your hard work, Ah Qing.”

Ah Qing had been a close attendant to the Crown Prince in the Palace and was now the chief eunuch by the emperor’s side, taking over Hong Gonggong’s position, holding a prominent status in the palace.

However, regardless of his status, he still needed to show respect in the Kunde Palace.

Ah Qing said, “It’s no trouble, Your Highness, just give me any orders if needed.”

Shu Yuwan nodded, “I understand.”

She knew what this meant; the emperor probably wanted to confirm that Zhao Qing Qing had been taken care of, fearing she might act rashly. In reality, she wasn’t as kind-hearted; when it came to dealing with personal matters, she held grudges, so she didn’t feel uncomfortable about it.

After receiving the response, Ah Qing left. As a prominent figure by the emperor’s side, he had many matters to attend to.

Shu Yuwan instructed to remove the headgear from Zhao Qing Qing.

After being confined in a small room for a long time and enduring previous punishment without proper treatment, Zhao Qing Qing was now somewhat mentally disoriented.

After a moment of relaxation, she finally recognized Shu Yuwan in front of her.

Looking around at the surroundings and Shu Yuwan’s attire, she understood to some extent, feeling a mix of emotions.

With a tone of disbelief, she asked, “You, you, the Crown Prince has ascended?”

“And you are now the empress?”

Shu Yuwan smiled gently and asked, “Are you disappointed?”

Zhao Qing Qing, being tactful, cautiously replied, “No.”

Her voice carried a hint of sorrow, “At this point, I no longer have any expectations.”

Carefully concealing her inner resentment, Zhao Qing Qing tried to sound more relaxed, “We are all the same, but our destinies differ greatly.”

She glanced meaningfully at the maids around.

Understanding her implication, Shu Yuwan dismissed the maids in the hall, leaving only Qing Dai and Caiyu.

Seeing two people remaining, Zhao Qing Qing found it strange and said, “You surprisingly allow those around you to know about this matter.”

Shu Yuwan smiled indifferently, “It’s fine; I trust both of them.”

Caiyu is quite skilled, and now she mostly accompanies Shu Yuwan, so she cannot meet Zhao Qing Qing alone.

Zhao Qing Qing was surprised and said, “You are quite bold.”

“You said we both came from the 21st century. Why did you become the empress, and I became a prisoner? Is it because you hid well? Or because you are the protagonist of this world? Then why did you bring me to this world?”

Shu Yuwan didn’t understand, so she remained silent and listened quietly.

Unconcerned, Zhao Qing Qing continued, “I always thought I was the only time traveler in this world. I believed I was the protagonist of this world. God saw how difficult my life was in the 21st century and brought me here after my death.”

Shu Yuwan asked, “Was your life very difficult before?”

Zhao Qing Qing nodded and said, “To my mother, I was just a tool to earn money for the family. I started working after junior high school, and all the money I earned went to my mother.”

“But the wages from working in the clothing factory couldn’t satisfy my mother. She always pressured me to give her money. I always thought of earning more money for her.”

“Later, short videos became popular, and I heard that making short videos was profitable. I tried making them. I was pretty and looked good on camera, especially with beauty filters. After gaining some popularity, people often tipped me. I started making more sensual videos. Later, people often contacted me backstage, offering more money. I would go out with them. Eventually, I met a wealthy man who supported me. He provided a lot of money, so I stayed with him. But after a year, he grew tired of me, gave me a breakup fee, and found another woman.”

“He was very fond of that woman, and when his wife found out, to protect her, he pushed me out, claiming I was his current woman. His wife followed the clues he provided and came to my house, where she killed me.”

Although Shu Yuwan didn’t understand many words, she grasped the general meaning and felt a sense of sorrow. In her 21st-century world, Zhao Qing Qing was just a concubine, and in her previous life, she was ruined by such a woman.

However, she was puzzled and asked, “Didn’t you say in the 21st century it was one man, one woman? Why did you become someone’s mistress? In your society, isn’t everyone equal? Why can people kill others so easily?”

After hearing this, Zhao Qing Qing looked at Shu Yuwan in disbelief, “You are not from the 21st century?”

Shu Yuwan had no intention of hiding it and casually said, “I never said I was!”

“You lied to me!”

In extreme pain, if Shu Yuwan wasn’t a time-traveling woman, why did she lose to an ordinary ancient noblewoman?

She clearly possessed more advanced modern knowledge.

Shu Yuwan felt that Zhao Qing Qing was confused and said coldly, “Can’t I deceive you?”

“Do you really think we can still be friends after what you did? Do you see me as so naive? Besides, I didn’t deceive you; it’s just how you choose to perceive it.”

“You should know that you are still alive because I am still curious about you; otherwise, you would have died long ago!”
