refuse to be a concubine

Chapter 11 Shocked, shocked!
The queen did not leave anyone with the slightest chance of survival.

Three lives, just like that.

but me……

"Are you okay?" Bingbing's voice was different from usual, with a little warmth.

Looking up, Tang Yu looked at me, with imperceptible concern in his usually indifferent eyes.

"Eunuch Tang, this servant wants to be alone for a while, please leave Eunuch Tang." Tang Yu, the Queen's most caring person, he knows everything about the Queen, and he cannot get rid of his involvement in this matter. .

At this moment, I don't want to face him.

Knowing that I am not much better, I have done many things wrong.

But with him here, I can't calm down.

Tang Yu froze, turned around and left.

After walking a few steps, he turned around and looked at me, and said in a stiff voice, "I'm just passing by here." When walking past me, he said again, "I'm tired, I want to take a rest here."

He actually sat down, with his back against the porch pillar, on the foot rail, with one hand casually placed on his knee, his wide sleeve mopping the floor.

The night wind and rain beat against the side of his clothes from time to time, but he didn't notice it, like a stone statue, motionless, but those black eyes that were bottomless cold would glance at me from time to time.

"Since Eunuch Tang wants to rest here, I will not bother you." I simply saluted, and I got up and left.

The sound of footsteps has been ringing behind me, wherever I go, it rings wherever I go.

Usually this Tang Yu walks very quietly.

He did it on purpose.

A little angry, I turned around and said, "Don't...ah, it hurts."

His nose hit his chest suddenly, and the soreness rushed to his eyes immediately, and the eyes began to get wet.

I covered my sore nose and looked at him with teary eyes.

Before he could speak, he said, "I'm not a woman."

"I know." I suddenly remembered that I bumped into him in the Queen's Palace last time. At that time, I said, "Shouldn't the body be soft? Why is your chest so hard?" He also replied.

I wanted to laugh, but I really laughed, a wry smile.

"Are you in a better mood?" He opened his mouth, obviously the words he cared about came out of his mouth a lot more bluntly.

Naturally, I could feel the concern from him who is not good at words.

Having been with him for so long, I also trust him.

But when he thought that he had helped the queen a lot, he always felt a thorn stuck in his throat.

It seemed that once I opened my mouth, I became the queen's accomplice just like him, and I could never turn back.

"This is the imperial palace. As long as there are people, palace fighting will always exist. As a palace person, one must either choose a good master, or become the master's pawn or victim." He said.

"Is it impossible to change the fate of palace people?"

"The people in the palace have always lived like this. Everyone is fighting for the chance to survive. Everyone wants to live a life of luxury and wealth. You have to adapt to it."

"I can't get used to it."

"Then get used to it."

"Habit is far scarier than adaptation." I murmured.

"If you want to live, that's the only way."

I looked at him, saw his appearance unchanged for thousands of years, and raised my voice slightly, "Do you know that when you said this in a cold voice, it made me feel like the palace is like hell, without a ray of light, more It makes me afraid, I am afraid that I will fall, and I don’t know how to die, I, I don’t want to live like this.”

Is it my illusion?Tang Yu's icy eyes actually had a trace of tenderness, faintly, like gossamer winding around his eyes.

In an instant, he regained his indifference, and said: "That's your business." After finishing speaking, he passed me and walked towards the west side of the palace corridor.

This person... just now trusted him so much, but now he speaks so ruthlessly.

Changes as fast as the weather.

It's amazing...

At this time, he turned around and looked at me again, with strange eyes.

When I was wondering, he turned his head to look at the gloomy night sky, his voice was a little nervous, and said: "If the master likes something or someone, a slave will naturally like it, and of course he will protect her and accompany her. "

I don't understand why he suddenly said such a sentence. I don't know why, so I didn't answer.

The night was already very deep, but the rain still didn't stop, and the wind blew through, bringing a cool feeling.

If I stay any longer, I'm afraid I will catch cold, so I said: "It's late, let's go back and rest."

Tang Yu's body froze visibly, and even that handsome face that would make women jealous became gloomy, just like this weather.

Take a few steps.

"Su En." Tang Yu's voice seemed to come out from between his teeth.

Looking back at him, under the red lantern, he pursed his lips tightly, looking extremely displeased.

"what happened?"

Looking at me with a cold face for a while, he said coldly: "You are stupid." He turned around and left.

Soon, his figure was hidden in the night.

I have long been used to his strangeness, so I just smiled lightly and didn't take it seriously.

I took a deep breath and felt much better. Thank you Tang Yu.

"I won't go with the tide," I whispered to the night sky, "No matter how forced the future is, how difficult it is to choose, I can't do things that hurt the nature and reason, even if I can't escape, I must stick to the reason I believe. "

After finishing speaking, I feel relaxed.

The steps are also light.

into the queen's palace.

The whole palace was silent, unusually quiet.

This kind of silence can only be found when that man comes.

really.

Outside the hall, Eunuch Lu and a group of eunuchs stood on both sides respectfully.

Seeing me, Eunuch Lu smiled, "Ms. Enen is back?"

"I met Mr. Lu."

"Don't salute in the future, we are not strangers, ha ha."

"Eunuch Lu is the chief steward of the palace, so Enen should perform this ceremony."

"Miss Enen is really a polite person. Oh, by the way, I want to ask the girl something." Eunuch Lu smiled so that his eyes were narrowed, and the cracks flashed.

"Father, please speak."

"Then I'll be straightforward. I don't know if Miss Enen knows that Eunuch Tang has someone he likes in this palace?"

Seeing my wide-eyed look, Lu Gonggong said with a smile: "You also know that Eunuch Tang is good-looking, and the court ladies are flocking to him, like moths to a flame. Look, there are several court ladies who came here expressly and implicitly." , They were all thinking of eating with Eunuch Tang, so they had a sustenance. Eunuch Tang is a celebrity in front of the Queen, if I can match him up, it will be beneficial to me. But if Eunuch Tang already has someone he likes, I can't say that anymore."

"Food?" I was taken aback.

Eunuch Lu nodded with a smile, "Eunuch Tang is a favorite in the palace, even if he feeds on a few palace ladies, he would be willing."

The so-called anti-food refers to the folk couples, but in the palace, they just eat with each other and have someone to share or comfort when they are lonely. This is the anti-food.

The words that Tang Yu overheard that day suddenly came to mind, that Tang Yu was not his father-in-law, if he really met each other in the palace... I'm afraid it would be very inappropriate.

Subconsciously, I don't want this secret to be known by others, otherwise he will be in danger.

In my heart, I have always regarded Tang Yu as a friend.

"Miss Enen?"

I laughed hurriedly and said, "I don't know about this servant girl." Thinking about it carefully, in the Queen's Palace, there is no court lady who does not blush or peek at Tang Yu. I have heard the maids discussing softly a few times Look at him, indeed, he is a sweet potato.

On the other hand, Tang Yu was extremely indifferent to them, and even saying a word seemed troublesome.

But tonight, he said a lot.

"Miss Enen and Eunuch Tang are both the queen's close personal, how could they not be clear?"

"Your servant really doesn't know." I saluted briefly, and I entered the hall.

Leaving behind Eunuch Lu who was smiling very uncomfortably.

Only two dim candles remained in the outer hall.

There is no copper pot on the table, presumably the palace servants have done it for me.

I can't help stretching myself, I can sleep more peacefully tonight.

"It's so leisurely and at ease." The cool voice came from the front with easily detectable anger.

The stretched posture froze on the spot.

He was standing beside the peonies in full bloom by the window, there was no candlelight over there, the faint darkness enveloped his whole body, and the oppressive aura came oncoming.

"My servant has seen the emperor." I was so shocked that I almost forgot to kneel down, and I didn't return to my senses until he walked out of the darkness.

A pair of embroidered gold dragon boots came into my sight.

My scalp tingled, and I could feel his sharp eyes on me.

"Get up, I have something to ask you."

"Yes."

Standing up, I respectfully stood aside.

"Look at me."

I raised my eyes slightly, then lowered my head in a hurry. He was only wearing a white satin brocade jacket, and a sapphire belt was loosely tied around his waist, as if he would loosen it with a light pull. on the back.

This man, even standing like this, is so dignified that people dare not look directly at him.

"I don't know if the emperor has anything to ask this servant?" I quickly opened my mouth to break the silence. Every time I see him, I don't like silence. The quieter it is, the more oppressive he is.

"Concubine An's miscarriage was caused by the queen, right?"

Raising his head suddenly, his sharp eyes were already a little cold.

"Slave, I don't know...the pain."

Unexpectedly, he approached me with a big stride, pinched my jaw, and forced me to look directly at him, his cold eyes were filled with anger, "I want to listen to the truth."

He struck hard, and the pain caused cold sweat to ooze from his forehead.

"I don't...don't know."

His eyes deepened, and he half-squinted to look at me, his handsome facial features were extremely domineering at this moment.

"Slave... I really don't know." My whole body was trembling in pain, it turned out that it hurts so much to have my jaw pinched.

He ignored my pain at all, "Someone saw you meeting Hong Cui and knocking over the medicine bowl. When the medicine juice was spilled on the ground, even the grass withered."

A few words, startled the cold sweat on my back, and ignored the pain on my jaw.

"What else do you have to say?" His sharp black eyes locked on me tightly. In his night-like eyes, I saw my guilt and self-blame for Concubine An, so eye-catching, so eye-catching Hide away.

Of course he saw it too.

"Slave, the servant girl doesn't know."

"What benefit did the Queen give you?"

"No, no."

There was a suffocating silence.

Looking into my dark eyes, there was a touch of cold sarcasm in the sharpness, he snorted softly, "It seems that you are nothing special." After speaking, he waved his hand mercilessly.

It was so powerful that I was thrown a long way.

The elbow hurts, I'm afraid the skin has been worn out.

The pain on the jaw is still there, but it's much lighter than before.

He didn't dare to rub it casually, let alone move rashly, and knelt down on the ground.

For a long time, he didn't speak again.

But I know he is looking at me, looking at me hard.

The emperor tonight is very strange. Although he was asking about Concubine An's miscarriage, I don't think his anger came from it, as if someone offended him and made him unhappy, and he couldn't vent it.

boom--

With the sound of the door closing heavily, he walked away in a flick of his sleeves.

I seemed to have walked back from the death line, and sat on the ground weakly, only then did I dare to rub my pinched jaw and elbow that hurt from falling.

As soon as he stood up, his body froze suddenly.

"Oh, interesting." The voice with a slight smile drifted past my ears like a gust of wind.

I am obviously the only one in the huge hall.

He turned his head mechanically and scanned corner by corner. Although the candlelight was dim, it was not impossible to see people.

nobody.
There was a chill all over my body.

The breeze-like voice seemed to disappear all of a sudden.

I stood there frozen for a while but never heard it again, as if it was just my illusion.

Is it really an illusion?
The next day, it was still a gray sky, and all the green in the palace garden seemed listless under such weather.

It was still very early in the day, at this time, the palace people in other palaces were probably still immersed in sleep.

The Queen's Hall is the main seat of the palace, and there will be five to eight people staying outside the hall every night.

Opening the door of the palace, one can see seven palace servants lazily sitting on the corridor railing or leaning on the doorpost. Although they are not asleep, they are also listless.

They watched all night and were tired.

"Sister Enen, why did you wake up so early today?" A court lady asked softly, yawning.

"Maybe it's caused by the weather, I can't sleep." I was woken up by the pain, and my elbow hurts from time to time, which is not unbearable, but I can no longer sleep peacefully.

There has been a large area of ​​redness and swelling, and it is difficult to even put on clothes.

It was the injury when he threw it on the ground yesterday. I didn't expect it to be so serious.

I'm afraid it will hurt for a few days.

"Eunuch Tang is here." An unknown court lady shouted in an excited voice.

Looking up, I saw Tang Yu coming out of the Crescent Gate and walking towards this side.

He has elegant sleeves and a cool handsome face. Although the weather is gloomy, when he appears, he looks like a little sun, and all the ladies in the palace become full of energy and look eagerly.

As he approached, the palace people didn't dare to make too much publicity, they just stood aside shyly and looked at him secretly.

"Why are you here so early?" I smiled at him.

He ignored me, walked past me and entered the hall.

I was stunned. In the past, although he didn't answer the conversation, he would still take a look at me, but what happened today?
After entering the hall, I saw that the door of the inner hall had been opened, and it seemed that the queen had woken up.

I hurried in, and Tang Yu said coldly, "Understood."

The queen was sitting upright in front of the dressing table.

At this time, the ladies of the court carrying washing utensils entered in a file.

I'm busy directing everything.

After a lot of work, the queen is already a woman of the Ming Dynasty, with a peach blossom face.

I waved the maid back, and I said, "I don't know what color clothes the empress wants to wear today?"

"Tang Yu, what do you think?" The queen looked at the several sets of fancy dresses prepared by the maids in front of the screen, her eyebrows and eyes were shining brightly, she didn't seem to be picking clothes, but rather she was competing with others.

"Your Majesty is going to Concubine An's Palace today to comfort Concubine An who is suffering from the loss of her son. These are not suitable. It is better to choose plain clothes." Tang Yu said.

The queen is going to Anfei Palace today?She was dumbfounded, she caused Concubine An to lose her child, but today she wants to comfort Concubine An's pain?
The guilt for Concubine An came to my mind again, and I felt uncomfortable all over.

"Yeah, since everyone is pretending, they should pretend to be presentable." The queen smiled lowly, and lightly brushed the most gorgeous dress on the screen with her slender white fingers, and said lightly, "Enen, Bring me a plain brocade coat."

Feng Jia was walking along the long corridor.

It was very quiet, except for the footsteps of the palace people.

After leaving the corridor and passing a garden, there is Anfei Palace.

The guilt towards Concubine An makes it difficult for me to move forward. The closer I get to Concubine An's Palace, the more I blame myself.

"Stop, don't you see the empress Feng is here? Why are you still so reckless?" Suddenly heard the voice of a court lady.

A sobbing voice came from the front, "This servant deserves to die, please forgive me, empress."

Looking around, I saw a delicate-looking court lady of sixteen or seventeen kneeling beside her, wiping away tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief from time to time.

"What's going on?" The queen asked in the car, I hurriedly raised the curtain, and the queen said again, "Aren't you Xiaoling, the personal maid of Concubine An?"

"Slave is right."

"Why are you crying?"

Xiaoling said sadly: "My empress, ever since Anfei's miscarriage, she has been depressed and unhappy all day long, sitting in a daze for a whole day, not eating anything, if this continues, she will collapse, and the servant looks heartbroken. , I cried."

"It's so pitiful, my son is the heart of my mother, so it's no wonder she is like this, but I still need to take care of my body." The queen said gently and caringly, "I came to see her specially today, I hope to have my company, Concubine An can feel better."

"The empress is really a good person. I thank you, my servant, for your concern for my empress." Xiaoling wiped away the tears from her face, with a face full of gratitude, she got up and saluted, "Please, empress."

The queen's hypocrisy sounded like a sharp knife in my ears, piercing me uncomfortably.

I don't want to hear it, I really want to turn around and leave, but I hold back.It was as if a boulder had been placed in my heart, extremely heavy.

"There are no good people in the palace, and there are no absolute bad people. Many things are not as simple as you think." Tang Yu's voice came from behind.

I looked back at him, and he looked at me coldly, his deep and deep eyes seemed to see through my thoughts.

"Didn't you ignore me?"

Pursing her lips tightly, Tang Yu turned her head coldly.

"Weird." I muttered and was about to turn around when I heard him gnash his teeth and say, "Who told you to call me Mr. Tang?"

The sharp eyes caught the suspicious blush flashing across his face.

Suddenly, his awkwardness isn't just because I called him "Eunuch Tang" last night, right?
I chuckled lightly, dispelling a little heaviness in my heart.

"What are you laughing at?" Tang Yu blushed even more.

Ever since I met him, I have never seen him blushing. He was originally fair, but he was also a handsome man. His blush made him a little more angry and more handsome. If the maids saw it, I'm afraid I will have to talk about it for a few days before giving up.

I shook my head, "I didn't laugh." After finishing speaking, the corners of my mouth couldn't help but rise again.

"You are obviously smiling."

"Then just smile." I grinned and gave him a bright and bright smile.

Faced with my smile, Tang Yu was stunned for a moment, until I said, "You look at me like that, I think I'm laughing like hell."

He turned his head rather uncomfortably, and said bitterly: "You laugh so ugly."

Thin bamboos are swaying slowly in the wind, and the flowers in the yard should be bright and colorful, but in this cloudy day, they look dim.

This is the second time I have entered Anfei Palace, and my mood is completely different.

When the maids in the palace saw that it was the queen, they all panicked and knelt down to salute.

"Your Majesty, the empress empress is here to see you." Xiaoling quickly walked into the inner hall.

The queen took her seat, and immediately a court lady served tea.

After a while, Concubine An came out, her originally handsome face was sharpened a lot, her graceful figure was so slender that she seemed to be blowing away with the wind, and her plain dress made her look extremely pale and lifeless.

A good person turned into this in just a few days.

I bit my lower lip tightly, feeling guilty in my heart.

"Sister, why are you so thin? Stop saluting and sit down." The queen stood up and supported Concubine An, her voice worried, as if Concubine An was her own sister.

"Thank you for your love, my concubine." Concubine An's eyes were moist, and she looked extremely moved.

"I really didn't expect that Concubine Ming to be such a person. My sister has always known that she is jealous of her younger sister's favor, but she also thought that she was a petty temper at most. I didn't expect that she would make such a murderous hand and make my younger sister suffer such harm. It is a mistake. She's gone." The queen spoke with emotion, her almond eyes were actually wet.

"It's my younger sister who is suffering, and I can't blame others." Concubine An quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

"What should I do." The queen sighed, "The imperial doctor said that my sister may never be able to conceive a dragon heir again, what should I do in the future?"

Upon hearing this, An Fei's pale expression became even more bloodless.

"From now on, my sister will regard Xu'er as her own son, and I will make him be filial to you in the future, just like my own mother."

"Empress?" Concubine An was moved, she got up and saluted, her words choked up, "I really don't know how to repay the kindness my empress has given me."

The queen's play is very realistic.

I never knew that a person could make a fake so realistic.

Let me think that everything she did before was just an illusion.

The Concubine An in front of me seems to be different from the Concubine An when I first met.

I don't understand why she is so vigilant and alert to me, the maid in front of the queen, but she is so real to the queen.

I stood on the side blankly, not listening to what they were saying.

I also didn't notice that Concubine An quietly looked at me.

After an unknown amount of time, Tang Yu suddenly pulled off my sleeve.

It's the queen who is coming back.

I was the last one to walk out of the hall. Out of apology to Concubine An, I couldn't help but turn my head again, only to see Concubine An looking at the Queen with hateful eyes.

Such eyes are chilling to the bone.

She didn't expect me to turn around suddenly, and she didn't have time to look back, so she just stared at me bitterly.

Even Xiao Ling beside her changed her pure and soft appearance.

I don't know how I got out of Concubine An's Palace, I was in a daze, my heart was full of confusion and puzzlement.

"Tang Yu, you go and get things done now." The queen stopped, and said solemnly to Tang Yu who was beside her, "This lesson must be made for her to remember, and if she does it again next time, what I want is her." life."

Watching Tang Yu leave, I suddenly became suspicious, what did the Queen want him to do?
Who is the queen going to deal with again?
I couldn't help shivering.

"Let's go." The queen did not sit on the chariot, but said to the palace man who was carrying the chariot, "You go back first, I am going to go to the imperial garden for a walk."

"Yes."

Until the chariot disappeared into the palace road, the queen looked at me with cold eyes, "Enen, put away your pity. This palace is not as miserable as you imagined."

I didn't understand the meaning of the queen's words for a while, I just followed her footsteps and slowly followed her side.

"You think Hongcui was killed by someone from Bengong, don't you?"

I was startled, and saw the empress said indifferently: "Qinglian told Bengong that she met you in Lishuyuan."

That's right, Aunt Lian is the steward of the Queen's Palace, so she is naturally the Queen's confidant, so how could she not tell her about such things.

"I didn't kill Hongcui, and even the court lady who came forward to testify that she saw Concubine Ming kill Hongcui in order to destroy the evidence was not instigated by me."

The queen's slightly piercing eyes reflected my shocked face.

"I will tell you one more thing." The Queen smiled calmly, and said it even more calmly, "Concubine An is not pregnant, but it is true that she will not be able to conceive a dragon heir again. She thought it was perfectly concealed. But this palace already knew about it last year."

After a long while, I finally found my voice, "Why did the empress say this to Enen?"

"I really want to know what I say, do you believe it?"

Do you believe it?I was so shocked that I couldn't think at all, and because I couldn't think, I subconsciously nodded.

"What an unexpected answer." The queen walked into the imperial garden, picked a flower in full bloom and smelled it under her nose. The worn scissors were presented to her respectfully.

The queen cut a few flowers and put them into the basket held by the maid, and said lightly: "The enemy of this palace is not Concubine An, but the woman who can stand at the end to compete with this palace, and this palace is also very curious Who could she be? As for Concubine An, if she can't sit still, Concubine Ming's end will be her end, and I'm just going with the flow."

"Enn." The queen picked up a flower in full bloom from the basket and handed it to me, smiling brightly, "I don't mind teaching you how to survive in the palace step by step, it should be a very interesting thing." thing."

"What's so interesting? The empress tells me." The cool voice, besides the emperor, was there anyone else.

I don't know when, the maids have already knelt down on the ground. They obviously received the emperor's order and didn't say a word to salute, so that the empress and I didn't even notice his arrival.

Among the flowers, he stood tall and straight. He was dressed in casual clothes with bright yellow and black lapels, and his noble aura covered all corners of the imperial garden.

Behind him, Jing Lin accompanied him with elegance, but the worry in his eyes was lingering.

He was looking at the queen, not me.

"The concubine has met the emperor." Although the queen was a little surprised, she still had a smile on her face, "The concubine was just saying that Enen is not familiar with the rules in the palace, so she needs to be taught slowly. This must be an interesting thing." thing."

At this moment, cold eyes swept across my face.

I was kneeling, and the queen's words made my thoughts flutter, but I always secretly glanced at the man behind him from the corner of my eye, and every time I wanted to see him, my sight was always blocked by a bright yellow corner of his clothes.

The corner of the clothes seemed to be difficult for me.

"In the past, those personal maids may not have made the queen so interested in teaching them personally. It seems that this maid is really different."

"The concubine really likes her."

"So, I suddenly remembered that the maid whom the queen likes owes me a cup of tea."

Tea?That was when he first came to the Queen's Palace, and he still remembers it?

The empress was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Why does the emperor still remember this incident?"

The emperor came over, stopped by my side, looked at the unknown flowers under his feet, and said: "I have always had a good memory."

This should be a very casual sentence, but when I heard it, it shocked me.

Aunt Suyan also said that his memory is amazing.

Lifting my head quietly, I wanted to see what his expression was at the moment.

Smiles can be deceiving, mouths can be deceiving, even eyes can be deceiving.

But I believe that no matter how deceitful he is, there is always a flaw in his expression.

Unexpectedly, his eyes were on me, and his dark and deep pupils stared at me naked.

The condescending sight pressed deeply into the bottom of my heart.

At this moment, I felt timid in my heart.

I lowered my head in panic, not daring to look up at him.

Inexplicably, I don't know why.

"Enen, what are you still kneeling for? Go make tea." The queen's words were like an order of amnesty, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

When I came to the pavilion in the imperial garden with the tea set, only the emperor and Jing Lin were playing chess.

There are no figures of the queen and a group of court ladies.

The two of them played very seriously, as if they didn't notice my existence at all.

I stood quietly on the lower left side of the emperor. This place is far away from the emperor, and I can see Jinglin again.

At this time, Jing Lin suddenly raised his head and smiled at me gently.

I also returned a smile.

The emperor's cool voice interjected, "Didn't you see that I and Mr. Jing are playing chess? Stand outside the pavilion."

"Yes." I felt a little lost in my heart, and I couldn't see Jing Lin up close.

The sky is gloomy, and the mountains and rains are about to come.

Standing on the steps of the pavilion, I secretly looked at the sky. It has been raining continuously for the past few days. It should not rain again today.

Just thinking about it, I felt a chill on my face, and then, one drop, two drops...

Without anyone making any preparations, bean-sized raindrops poured down.

If I keep standing like this, I will be drowned.

The people in the booth didn't respond.

"Your Majesty, it's raining, let her enter the pavilion." Jing Lin said gently after falling down.

Wei Wei is happy, does Jing Lin care about me?
"A slave, if she really wants to come in, won't she beg me herself?" The emperor said lightly, ruthlessly.

The rain came quickly, and the raindrops were heavy, and it hurt a little on the skin.

begging?No, never ask him.

I moved a little and stood up straighter.

"It's raining so hard, I'm afraid I'll catch a cold, Your Majesty..." Jing Lin's unfinished words were stopped by the emperor's "will".

I heard the emperor say leisurely and complacently: "Jing Lin, these days, how many times have you lost to me?"

"It's the emperor's chess skills that have improved."

"Really? I've heard that you've been ignoring food and drink recently because of a woman."

I was surprised, did the emperor know something?
Turning to look at Jing Lin, he was composed and smiled slightly, "If Yue Fu hears the emperor's words, I will not have a safe life."

At this time, Eunuch Lu hurried into the pavilion with an oil umbrella, "I have seen the emperor and Mr. Jing."

"what's up?"

"Your majesty, Miss Yuefu has entered the palace and is drinking tea with the empress in the empress's palace."

"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, and looked at Jing Lin's dark eyes teasingly, "It seems that she and you have a good understanding, I want you to accompany my fiancée now."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Jing Lin stood up and saluted, he glanced at me and left with a little apology.

I feel a little pain in my heart, I don't know if it's because of the apology in Jing Lin's eyes, or because of his sudden departure.

Eunuch Lu put the umbrella in the pavilion, bowed and retreated, and when he came out of the pavilion, his eyes stopped on my face thoughtfully for a moment before he fell into the rain.

Didn't Eunuch Lu never leave the emperor's side?
At this time, why did he leave instead?

In the huge place, only me and him were left.

Under the ravages of the raindrops, the flowers were battered with holes and fell to the ground in bits and pieces.

The miserable scene in the imperial garden is unsightly.

In the pavilion, he played chess alone, and all the disturbances from the outside world seemed nothing to him.

I am a little maid standing in the rain, he will not forget, right?
I can't stand anymore, if he really forgets me, how long will I stand?
I moved my lips slightly and found it difficult to speak.

Is it really going to rain like this?

I bit my lower lip, and when I opened my mouth, I still couldn't beg for mercy.

Standing in frustration, I can only let the rain soak my body.

I don't know how long it took, but it was so long that I started to shiver.

He raised his head, his eyes were icy cold, just like the midnight wind, although it was quiet but cold, he said: "If you ask me, I will allow you to enter the pavilion to hide from the rain."

"Your servant did nothing wrong, why do you ask the emperor?" I asked humbly.

In fact, I was angry.

I don't understand why the emperor treats me like this?

And why asked him to let me enter the pavilion?
I will stand here, not to be punished.

"I am the emperor, I can do whatever I want, if you don't ask me, just stand there until the rain stops."

"The slave did nothing wrong."

"Very well, then you can just stand." He said coldly, then played chess again, following the sound of the rain, without saying a word.

My eyes are sour and a little wet.

Can the emperor bully people like this?
I am a little court lady, but I am also a human being.

A man has gold under his knees, and as a daughter, I also want to seek value.

Never ask him.

Thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, rolling louder and louder, accompanied by the Lightning Swimming Dragon, as if it could hit the body at any time, which made people frightened for no reason.

The teapot on the plate had already cooled down under the rain.

The hand holding the plate was sore and numb, but he didn't dare to be careless.

After an unknown amount of time, he stood up, as if about to leave.

With a wry smile, it seems that I really have to stand until the rain stops. What if it rains for a few days?

"What are you doing in a daze, hold an umbrella for me." He said, and glanced at me coldly.

I was overjoyed, it seemed that there was no need to stand until the rain stopped.

"Yes." I couldn't hide my joy, but I peeked out and saw that his face was extremely gloomy.

He is tall.

I used to think he was tall, but after holding an umbrella for him, I realized that he was a little taller than what I saw in the past.

In addition, he was walking in big strides, and I had to trot to keep up with him, so as not to let him get drenched in the rain.

After walking a few steps, I was out of breath.

In fact, this is no different from just now. I am still drenched in the rain and dare not move the umbrella to my side.

"Emperor, Your Majesty, can you walk slowly? The servants are almost unable to keep up." I panted slightly.

"A slave, do you still want me to agree with you?" The tone became more and more cold, as if someone had offended him.

Gritting my teeth, I followed closely.

"Your Majesty, where are you going?" The road he took was not to any of the main halls, but to an extremely remote path. Weeds had already grown around the path, and there were a few sections of the road that could not be reached. No.

How could there be such a place in the Royal Garden?

He was silent.

There are more and more weeds, and the spring scenery that belongs to the imperial garden has long since disappeared. The further you go in, you can even see some debris on the ground.

Her feet and the corners of her skirt were covered with mud, and her neatly combed hair was also loose at the moment, sticking tightly to her face and neck, making her extremely uncomfortable.

And he was not much better below the waist, with mud splashed from the rain on his feet and the corners of his clothes.

I don't understand why he still insists on moving forward after everything is like this.

"Your Majesty, let's go back." If we continue walking, I'm afraid we'll get lost.

He said nothing again.

Looking secretly at his side face, expressionless, unable to see what he was thinking.

My heart gradually became uneasy.

My nose was itchy, and I couldn't help sneezing.

"Where is this?"

There is a crowded rockery in front of me, it doesn't look like a landscape, but it looks like people piled it here.

"Does the emperor not know where this is?" I asked in a daze, then what is he doing here?

"If I knew, would I still ask you?" He said coldly, and walked into the rockery.

I had to follow in.

The inside of the rockery is huge and empty, and rainwater flows out from the gaps, either like waterfalls or drips.

Fortunately, with these gaps, there is light, and it will not be too dark.

I closed the umbrella, and I quietly accompanied it.

He looked around with great concentration, the gray light cast on him, but he couldn't suppress the bright yellow color, instead it made the whole cave brighter.

I think this is the so-called kingly spirit.

No matter where he is, no one can ignore him, and even his breath is under his control.

"You are a very competent slave." He said suddenly, without looking at me, just casually.

"The servant girl is not doing well."

"Oh? What's wrong?"

I didn't expect him to turn around and stare at me.

I hurriedly looked away, and Wei Wei said condescendingly: "The servant has always been clumsy, so how can he be a competent servant?"

"You are stupid. I have never seen a slave who is more stupid than you."

"Yes."

"Yes? I'd rather be drenched in the rain than beg me. Now that you're stupid, you're quick to admit it."

"The servant girl is a fool."

The next moment, my wrist was in pain, and his slender big hand suddenly clasped my wrist.

"Emperor, Your Majesty?" I was startled and looked up.

When, his cold eyes were stained with anger.

Every time I see him, his expression is always indifferent, with a kind of ruthlessness, I have never seen him so angry like now.

I have always been cautious with him.

In a word, I dare not be sloppy in a single action.

Could it be that I just said something wrong?

"You hate me?" he asked coldly.

I shook my head in panic.

You can't nod even if you lend me a hundred guts.

"Oh? Then you like me?" There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, with a cool chill, his eyes became deeper and deeper, like a whirlpool, which could suck people in.

I couldn't help but move my dry lips, wanting to turn my head, this kind of staring made me flustered and suffocated me.

His jaw was straightened by him, and he was forced to look directly at him, "Answer me."

A little dizzy, such a close distance, so close that I can feel each other's breathing, under these eyes as cold as midnight, my heart suddenly became chaotic.

like him?how can that be possible?
The pain during that time, the death of his mother, and the hardships of life were all thanks to him, but he forgot.

"Answer me."

"You are the emperor, and your slaves are just slaves. If the emperor says he likes you, he likes it." I uttered this sentence with difficulty.

His eyes deepened, he half-closed his eyes, and suddenly leaned over to my ear, and the faint fragrance permeated my heart, and his voice seemed to float by my ears, "In that case, I want you to sleep in bed now."

While I was in a daze, the slender and beautiful big hand had already touched the skirt of my shirt, and when I undid it lightly, the button was scattered, revealing a large pink belly.

Those hands came up and slid from the neck to the red rope on the belly, just a light tug...

"No." When the warmth of my hand touched my body that was soaked in water, I regained my senses for a moment, and stepped back in horror until my back touched the rockery wall.

"What? How dare a mere slave refuse me?"

He bullied me step by step.

There was no way I could retreat, and I looked at him in fear.

The oppressive breath, the sharp eyes, just like the night when you lost your innocence.

At this moment, all palace rules and identities do not exist.

The thing that exists in my mind is to protect myself, to protect myself, and not to be bullied by him again.

I still fear him, but I am not as helpless as that night.

How many nights, I was thinking, if I hadn't been so scared and helpless that day, if I had a clear mind, I might be able to save myself.

I have said to myself countless times that no matter what difficulties I encounter in the future, I must keep calm and save myself.

And now, no one can save me, only myself.

Would he want a dirty body?Especially since this person is still the supreme being in the world.

Just when these slender hands touched the belt of the doudu, a cry of surprise escaped from my mouth.

The hands froze in mid-air.

For the first time, the deep eyes took on a different color, stupefied, surprised, surprised, and even appreciative, and finally smiled, except that there was no disgust I wanted.

I didn't care what his changes meant, but seeing that he didn't move anymore, I hurriedly knelt down, "Your servant deserves to die, my servant's body is already unclean, and my servant deserves to die."

My heart was beating violently, but I breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, he squatted down, leaned next to my ear, smiled softly, and said in a low voice without any fluctuation, "I don't mind, just sleep here."

Paleness climbed up my face, and my heart sank a little.

I clenched my fist so hard that my lower lip was almost bleeding from the bite.

He stood up, condescending, his wide sleeves fell to the ground, and the dignity and domineeringness of one sleeve fell.

I looked up.

He looked at me, with eyes that were deeply settled in his coolness, and an air of superiority that made people unable to look up, and instinctively wanted to surrender.

I knew I couldn't escape, just like that night.

No, even if he is the emperor, I will never compromise.

"I don't want to." Every word, every time I say a word, my resentment increases, my hatred increases, and fear also follows.

I couldn't get over my fear, I could only fight with my natural stubbornness.

So, it's me, not a slave.

There was a dead silence all around.

The cave is getting darker and darker, the leaks that were dripping with light rain have turned into a series of small waterfalls, and the sound of the rain outside the cave is getting louder, one can imagine how torrential it is outside, if there is a rain curtain between the sky and the earth. bomb.

"No matter what it is, as long as it's what I want, there's nothing I can't get." When he said this, it was so natural and justified.

But it aroused even greater resentment in my heart, can the emperor do whatever he wants like this?
I hate how helpless I am right now.

I am weak and can't refute his words at all. This is the only person in the world who doesn't make people feel disgusted when he utters these words, and even agrees with them.

His cold cheeks suddenly warmed up, and his hand touched me.

I was startled and wanted to shake him away, but my legs were kneeling on the wet and cold muddy ground, numb from the cold, and I overreacted to his touch, and almost fell down.

Only then did I realize that my body was extremely weak and a little uncomfortable.

"What? You can't even touch it?" His hand moved lightly, and I fell into a wide, warm embrace that exudes a faint fragrance.

Looking up at the compelling handsome face in front of me, my whole body tensed up, "Your Majesty, please respect yourself."

"Are you running a fever?" He frowned.

Have a fever?Is that right, no wonder the body is so weak and uncomfortable, "Your Majesty, please let go of this servant."

"Slave? How can you look like a slave?" The corner of his mouth curled up, as if he was in a good mood, "It's time to go back to the palace, your body won't be able to bear it if this continues."

In my soft cry, he hugged me.

The body is even tighter, I don't like being held by him like this, and even reject his touch.

"Let go of me." I began to struggle, only regretting that my body had no strength at all, and struggling had no effect on him at all.

"It won't do you any good to be brave."

Bravery?Am I trying to be brave?Shaking his head, "The servant did not try to be brave."

I really don't like his touch.

How can I be hugged by a man who raped me like this, no matter how weak I am, I can't do this.

The smile at the corner of his mouth faded away, he lowered his head slightly, his dark eyes locked on me tightly, as if he wanted to see something from my eyes.

I think, apart from the pure earnestness in my eyes, I didn't show the thoughts in my heart.

If you recognize it, you really recognize everything in front of you.

He is the emperor, ruling over all things, just as he said just now, "No matter what it is, as long as it is what I want, there is nothing that I cannot get."

I, a servant, a commoner, even if I hate him, I will only be laughed at and called stupid.

Just like now, he can block me to death with a single sentence, no matter how I try to refute, it's just a waste of words.

I can't afford to hate this man.

Although it is difficult to let go, I will try to try a new start.

From now on, I will only be my court lady, a pure court lady.

His mind began to feel dizzy, and he wanted to sleep desperately, the cave became darker and darker, and those black eyes became colder and colder.

He was angry.

O king, so moody.

I heard his cold and angry voice, "Don't sleep."

I'm really sleepy, and I don't want to fall asleep. My whole body is wet. I'm afraid my body will be more uncomfortable after sleeping, but I can't control the feeling of wanting to sleep.

"I told you not to sleep." The anger in his voice became more and more obvious, "Damn it, I don't know the way."

It turns out that the emperor is a road idiot, I smiled slightly, the emperor, with just these two words, the people have deified him, and at the moment, I feel that he is a bit popular.

"Don't laugh, let alone sleep."

"I hate you, I don't want to talk to you." After saying this, I fell asleep. In fact, I said this sentence in my heart. If I knew that I would say these three words subconsciously, I would just say it again Sleepiness also keeps you awake.

Accompanied by a chuckle, a man suddenly appeared in front of the emperor out of nowhere, his half-smile eyes glanced at me sleeping in his arms, then he knelt down on one foot and said: "Qing Yi has seen the emperor."

The emperor had a dark face.

"Cough cough." Qing Yi pretended to cough twice, "She is very courageous."

"As my personal secret agent, you showed up at the right time." The emperor said coldly.

Qing Yi smiled lightly, "If the lowly position appears too early, won't it disturb the emperor's interest?"

"How are things going over there?"

"Everything is within the expectations of the emperor." After a pause, Qing Yi said curiously, "Since the emperor is interested in her, why not accept her as a concubine, anyway, she is already the emperor's person."

"How can a mere court lady be my concubine?"

"But the emperor seems to pay special attention to her."

"She did arouse my interest, but that's all."

"Then why did the emperor send Bai Xuan to monitor her every move?" Qing Yi looked at his master rather puzzled.

With a cold face, the emperor just walked towards the entrance of the cave, turning a deaf ear to Qing Yi's words.

Qing Yi pretended to cough again, and said: "During the handover, Bai Xuan said that in Anfei Palace, a court lady contradicted the emperor, and then the emperor asked her to monitor everything about that court lady. In the East Palace, a court lady was beaten twice with a stick. Ten, the emperor's eyes never left her. In the imperial garden, separated by a tree wall, the court lady gritted her teeth and looked at the emperor who hosted the banquet. The emperor ordered her to be arrested. In fact, there were many court ladies around. While secretly looking at the emperor, the emperor wanted to arrest her, which is very abnormal. When the emperor's dragon chariot passed by, the court lady did not kneel down but ran away without a trace, and the emperor followed her figure until she disappeared. The disrespectful behavior, the emperor did not deal with her in any way, which is even more abnormal. In the Queen's Palace, the maid did not make tea, and the emperor became a tyrant, saying that she would beat her with a stick. And when the court lady served the emperor tea, she also I don’t know who did it on purpose, but I ran into the emperor. When I reported to the emperor and the queen that she wanted to win her over, but she refused, the emperor’s expression was very strange. Also in the water spirit hall..."

"Qing Yi, it seems that you should go to the dark room and contemplate for a while." The emperor's voice seemed to come from a cold cave, making people shiver with cold.

Qing Yi giggled, "This subordinate is the emperor's personal secret agent, after returning to the palace, naturally, he wants to know what the emperor is doing during this time."

When the emperor glanced at him like a sword, Qing Yi raised his breath in a hurry and jumped out of the cave.

After leaving the fake cave, one can see the darkness between the sky and the earth, with big dark clouds floating in the sky, like huge black boulders, which will fall down at any time.

Qing Yi has already stood respectfully outside the cave.

"Bai Xuan." The emperor called softly.

As soon as the words fell, a masked man in black appeared in the rain kneeling on one leg.

"Send her back to the palace."

"Yes." After taking me from the emperor's hands, Bai Xuan quickly disappeared under the rain.
