Holding hands to see the world

Chapter 371 Concubine Hui's Intention

Mu Yuanche frowned as expected, "I am the emperor, so is it possible that I still need to ask the consent of the world for this kind of thing? Baby, don't worry, I understand it in my heart, and I know what to do."

Ye Conghui didn't know the embarrassment here, but he really couldn't think of a good solution right now, so he could only say: "We are decades away from entering the mausoleum, and we can always figure out a way."

Mu Yuanche just laughed, took the night away slowly, and said as he walked: "It's true, we still have decades to think of a way to get the best of both worlds..."

The two gradually walked away, and the imperial guards also escorted them away. After a while, not far from the place where the two spoke just now, the thick withered grass and weeds slowly walked out from behind the boulder, a slightly staggering figure A court lady supported her, both of them trembled a little, looking carefully, they were concubine Hui's master and servant.

Bingqin didn't expect to hear such words here, if the emperor found out, there was no chance for her to survive. At this time, she couldn't help but resent her master for insisting on coming here. It doesn't matter if she dies alone. I have a big family, and I feel like crying to death.

But at this time, Concubine Hui was staring at the distant Yu Jia who had long been unable to see clearly, silently in a daze.The former empress was buried in the imperial mausoleum, but in just a few short years, the emperor changed his mind to such an extent, I feel sorry for a strange woman like the former empress, if she knew everything about today, she wondered if she would regret marrying the emperor back then.

Concubine Hui was both grateful and jealous for the first queen, but at this moment she only felt pitiful for the first queen.Originally, she felt that Xia Yinyue's method was unrealistic, but now it seems that Xia Yinyue's words may be right.

Concubine Hui turned around slowly, turned her back to the direction of the empress and slowly left.When walking out of the imperial mausoleum, he looked back at Biyifeng again, flying together...it was really funny.At night, the emperor can abandon the first queen for you so quickly, and one day he will abandon you for other women. What is there to be proud of?

At this moment, Concubine Hui made up her mind to act according to what Xia Yinyue said.

Concubine Hui returned to her sleeping tent, sitting silently on the soft couch in a daze, Bingqin stood by, wanting to say something but not daring to say it, now she was the only old man serving Concubine Hui, the rest All of them were replaced, which made her feel uneasy, so since she left the palace, she has become more and more cautious in her words and deeds, and she dare not say a word, for fear that she will not know where she will be placed in the next moment .

Suddenly she heard a violent cough, which pulled her back from her thoughts, and when she looked up, she saw Concubine Hui holding a handkerchief to her lips and coughing differently.With a shock in his heart, he walked over quickly and was so busy that he served Concubine Hui to drink a bowl of tea. He took Concubine Hui's handkerchief, held it in his hand, and saw that his face turned pale again.

On the silk handkerchief that was as white as snow, a mass of blood red was like plum blossoms blooming in the cold.

Bingqin's eyes turned red all of a sudden, "Your Majesty, this servant is going to invite the imperial physician."

"Bingqin!" Concubine Hui stopped her panting, her panting chest heaving up and down, "Don't go."

"However, you are coughing up blood more and more. If you continue like this...how can you do it?" Bingqin has served Concubine Hui for so many years. I still hope that the master will be fine.

"I know I won't live for a long time, so you don't have to hide it from me. Can't I feel my body?" Concubine Hui smiled calmly, and the expression on her withered, yellow and dry cheeks was calm, showing nothing. Facing the fear and unwillingness of death.

"Niangniang..." Bingqin choked up, and didn't know how to say a word of comfort. Doctor Han had already said that the empress was just suffering.She should have raised her well in the palace, but she has to come to this kind of place, isn't she insulting herself?
But she is just a slave and can't say anything.

"Go and make a bowl of soup for Bengong, I'm a little hungry." Concubine Hui looked at Bingqin with a smile.

Bingqin nodded hurriedly, "Yes, servant girl is going right now, ma'am, please rest for a while, servant girl will be back soon."

Concubine Hui smiled and let Bingqin go. After Bingqin left, Concubine Hui slowly lay down on the soft couch, her eyes stared blankly at the ceiling above her head, and the smile on her face gradually froze at the corners of her lips. .If there is anyone in this world who can care about yourself, it is only this silly girl, right?
As for her family... Concubine Hui sneered, she had already given up extravagant expectations.People in the family were able to send her to the emperor to be a concubine back then, but now they are causing trouble outside and working for tigers, so don't blame her for not being able to help.How can there be her existence in the emperor's eyes? She used to be the first queen, but now it's night, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly. In her life, she has always been the foil of others.

In the past, she was also the apple of the eye of her parents, and she was also coddled and coddled and raised. Now when I think about it, I can't remember the happy time when I was in the boudoir.

Mu Yuanche went to the front tent to deal with government affairs. He was resting on a soft couch at night when the palace maid beside her came in quietly and whispered beside her: "Your Majesty, Concubine Hui asks to see you."

Ye Ye slowly opened her eyes, pursed her lips tightly, and furrowed her brows lightly, before saying after a long time: "But why did you say it?"

"I didn't say it, I just kept saying that I want to see the empress." The maid lowered her head and replied in a low voice, not daring to vent her anger.

In the present night, she actually doesn't want to see Concubine Hui at all. In this life, there are more misunderstandings and disputes between her and Concubine Hui. She doesn't want to face her face to face. Face to face will remind her of all kinds of past lives.

Now, at night, I don't want to think about the things of my previous life at all. The past is the past, and I always live in the memories, which will only make people more and more dull.

Ye Ye let out a long sigh, and finally said, "Concubine Hui, please come in."

"Yes."

The palace maid walked out quickly, and soon led Concubine Hui to come in.

Concubine Hui was always an elegant person, even though her face was pale, her skin was dry, and she had applied a thick layer of makeup, she couldn't cover up her sickness.But a ginger-yellow long skirt with wide sleeves that stretched the floor still made her look a bit more alive.

"The concubine sees the empress." Concubine Hui saluted respectfully.

"Get up, there are not so many vain gifts when you go out." Ye Ye laughed, "Give me a seat."

Immediately, someone from the palace brought a brocade tree, and Concubine Hui thanked her again, and then she sat on her side.

Next to him was a line of palace servants, all of them stood with their hands down, their faces solemn.Sitting upright on the soft couch at night, the two looked at each other, Concubine Hui said first: "The concubine came to ask for one thing from the empress."

There was something unexpected at night, Concubine Hui rarely bowed her head to beg for help, so she was really surprised.

"Concubine Hui has encountered something embarrassing, but there are palace people who are negligent. If so, you can just punish them." At night, I am really worried that these old fritters are embarrassing Concubine Hui secretly, even though these people are slaves , but there is a saying that a falling phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken, and now Concubine Hui is under the pressure of Mu Yuanche.She was no longer the high-spirited concubine Hui who could say goodbye to Xia Yinyue back then.It's hard to guarantee that there will be some slaves who are secretly embarrassing, so she said this.

"There is no such thing, they serve very well. The concubine came for another matter. I heard that the empress will follow the emperor into the imperial tomb in three days. The concubine wants to ask the empress to bring the concubine in."

As soon as Concubine Hui's voice fell, her expression changed slightly at night, her face was solemn, and she said word by word: "Concubine Hui, you have always been a person who respects rules, don't you know that no one is allowed to enter the mausoleum of the empress at will?"

"The concubine knows that it is because of this that the concubine came to beg my mother." Concubine Hui stood up and knelt on the ground, "The concubine does not dare to have any wrong thoughts, it is only because the former queen has shown great kindness to the concubine. , That's why the concubine wanted to kowtow in person before the late empress's grave."

At this time of the night, he came to understand a little bit, staring at Concubine Hui with sharp eyes, "No wonder Concubine Hui, you must come to the Imperial Tomb, in fact, you have made up your mind a long time ago, haven't you?"

Hearing Ye Ye's question, Concubine Hui couldn't help but smiled wryly, and shook her head lightly, "I don't dare to have such thoughts, empress, please don't misunderstand my concubine. Concubine is just a life-saver now, and there is not much time left. Now, coming back to the imperial mausoleum is only possible due to the pity of the empress. It’s just that the empress did show kindness to the concubine, and the concubine thinks that she can kowtow in front of the spirit of the empress in her lifetime to thank her, which is also a matter of her heart.”

Hearing this in his heart at night, he couldn't help sighing, and said: "The ancestral system is the first, not to mention my palace, even the emperor would not agree to your request. The former empress knows your heart, and will know what you are doing." Affectionate. You don’t necessarily have to kowtow before the spirit to be truly grateful.”

Concubine Hui's expression became paler and paler, and it took a long time to force out a smile, "Yes, the concubine's thinking is wrong. Since the empress said so, the concubine will kowtow outside the mausoleum, do you think it's okay?"

Of course Ye Ye felt that this behavior was inappropriate, but she refused Concubine Hui to follow her in. If she didn't even allow this, it would be too heartless.After thinking about it, he was only outside the mausoleum and would not go in. Even if Concubine Hui did something wrong, she couldn't implement it.Besides, with Concubine Hui's current state... she couldn't do anything even if she wanted to.

"Okay then, just remember the rules yourself when the time comes."

"Thank you, Empress." Concubine Hui sighed softly with a pleasant smile on her face, "In the blink of an eye, the Empress has been gone for so many years, and the beloved Mrs. Gan has already returned to the loess. Ding Zhaoyi also left Now, the concubine is just living through the days, the years are flying by, and the concubine really feels that everything has passed away. The only thing left in her heart is to be grateful to the former empress. The empress is tolerant and generous. It's really a concubine's luck that the concubine is so generous."

At night, I felt a little weird. The well-behaved concubine Hui mentioned all the dead people, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but she didn't show it. She smiled casually, "A person's life is doomed, whether it is a blessing or a curse, is it Good or bad, it’s just where your own merit lies.”

Concubine Hui's smile froze when she heard that, but soon returned to normal, "Your Majesty's words are very true, after all, it's the concubine who has lost her vision."

Night just smiled and didn't answer. The feeling in my heart was like the wind, and it was gone when it passed by.But looking at Concubine Hui's smile, I felt something strange in my heart.

Concubine Hui didn't seem to feel how embarrassing it was for the empress not to answer, she talked about the past with a gentle expression, most of them were acts of love between the former empress and the emperor.It looked like she was remembering the former empress, but later at night she could hear it. Concubine Hui deliberately mentioned these things to disgust herself, and let her know how much Mu Yuanche loved Li Xiangxue back then.
