refuse to be a concubine
Chapter 17 Her Name is Charm
Chapter 17 Her Name is Charm
Why is it so hot?
Even guilt is a matter of time.
After a long time, isn't everything over?
With a firm heart, I walked towards Anfei Palace.
When I arrived at Anfei Palace, the emperor had already left.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the queen got up and went back to the palace.
Tang Yu stood outside Anfei Palace and waited.
"There must be someone behind Concubine An to help." The queen walked slowly, talking to Tang Yu while walking.
"Could it be the emperor?" Tang Yu asked after thinking about it.
The queen shook her head, "The emperor never asks about the affairs of the harem."
"Ma'am, are you sure?"
"Emperor, since ancient times, there has never been one who was not cruel." The queen looked a little lonely, "The emperor is a wise king, but also a cold man. On the night of my wedding, the first sentence he said to me was' A woman standing next to this king must have the ability to protect herself, and this king will not spend much time protecting her, otherwise, the tragic end will be brought on by himself."
"Who could it be?" Tang Yu frowned.
Although I followed the Queen's side in an orderly manner, because of my unsteady mind, the prince's affairs always caused ripples in my heart as if I had thrown a stone, so I didn't listen carefully to what they were saying.
It's just that when my eyes accidentally fell on Tang Yu, I couldn't help being stunned.
I always knew that Tang Yu was very handsome, but now, I couldn't take my eyes off him.
Perhaps what really makes me unable to take my eyes off is the complex aura emanating from him, the aura mixed with loneliness, arrogance, indifference, and even alienation.
Tang Yu was silent and cold, his coldness completely cut off the bright sun above his head, but my heart felt something other than the coldness, a feeling of loneliness.
lonely?He's not alone, isn't he talking to the queen?
How can I feel that he is lonely?
What's wrong?Why do I have inexplicable feelings every time I meet Tang Yu these days?
When you are sad, you can't help but want to get close to him?
There is even a strange urge to comfort him, obviously he doesn't need my comfort or anything.
As if aware of my gaze, Tang Yu also looked at me, although it was just a glance, the coldness in his eyes was no longer cold, but a touch of warmth.
My heart suddenly tightened, and all my nerves were pulled, and I felt agitated. I suddenly felt very uncomfortable, and my face was hot. I hurriedly looked away.
The sunset glow is beautiful, and the place is full of gold.
Taking advantage of the time, I came to the laundry bureau.
The ladies in the palace were all washing their clothes seriously, no one dared to be sloppy, it seemed that they were all well trained by Aunt Su.
"Where's Aunt Suyan?" asked the little palace maid who was doing laundry beside her.
"I saw my aunt and aunt Mingxiu went to the bamboo forest over there." The little maid pointed to the small bamboo forest behind the wall.
I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart. Didn't the maid in the imperial dining room say that Aunt Suyan was beaten?It doesn't appear to be seriously injured.
Soon, I came to the bamboo forest.
It's very cool here, and after getting in here, I really don't want to go out and be exposed to the sun.
There was only one exit from the bamboo forest, so I squatted on a bamboo foot that had been cut flat, waiting for Aunt Suyan and the others to come out.
After a while, there was indeed a sound, but it was not the sound of footsteps, but the sound of slapping.
I got up and was about to enter the bamboo forest when I saw someone coming out. Out of vigilance, I hid behind a few bamboos that were side by side not far away.
When I saw that the people who came out were Concubine Chen and Mingxiu, I was very surprised.
Why is Concubine Chen here?
What is she doing here?
Without thinking about it, I quickly walked towards where they came from.
"Auntie?" I exclaimed when I saw Suyan Aunt sitting on the ground with tears all over her face, "What's wrong with you? Your face?"
Aunt Su's white face had a palm print, which was red and swollen.
"Enen, why are you here?" Seeing it was me, Aunt Su got up hurriedly, turned her head and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then looked at me with a smile, "I'll show you a joke."
"What's going on? Was Concubine Chen hitting him?"
"you saw it?"
I shook my head, "I heard the voice, and saw Concubine Chen and Mingxiu coming out."
"Enen, promise me, don't reveal a word about today's affairs to others." Aunt Su suddenly grabbed my hand, holding it tightly, with a very nervous expression.
"Okay. Auntie, what happened?"
"It's better you don't know." Aunt Su walked to the edge of the pool, looked at the surface of the pool and sighed, "It looks like you won't be able to get out of the laundry bureau within ten days."
"Auntie, I heard from the maid in the imperial dining room that you were beaten by Concubine Chen. Is this true?" Aunt Su didn't want to talk about what happened just now, so I didn't ask.
"It's okay, it's just a few hits, it won't hurt the muscles and bones."
Seeing that Aunt Su was arranging her somewhat messy hair facing the water, I hurriedly took out a silk handkerchief and dipped some water in it and applied it to her slightly swollen left cheek.
There are many doubts in my heart. Aunt Su has always been calm and does not provoke disputes in the palace. What is Concubine Chen doing here?
Was that slap from Concubine Chen?
"Enen." Taking off the silk handkerchief and returning it to me, Aunt Suyan looked at me cautiously and said, "If you have nothing to do, don't come to the laundry bureau to look for me."
"why?"
Aunt Su looked at the water for a long time and said, "This is for your own good."
for me?I am more and more confused.
"Enen, you have to be careful of Concubine Liu." Aunt Su said again, her eyes were filled with worry, "She has a deep scheming mind."
Facing Aunt Su's worries, even though I was puzzled, I still nodded.
"Auntie, where did you get the antidote for Happy Powder?"
Aunt Su looked at me with deep eyes, "Enen, do you trust Auntie?"
"Trust me." In this world, Aunt Su is the person I trust the most and the person I love the most.
"Then don't ask anything. All I can tell you is that the antidote is real." After speaking, Aunt Su got up and walked outside the forest.
Looking at Aunt Su's back, I feel that Aunt Su hides a lot of secrets.
In the middle of the night, I opened my eyes.
Tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
What happened to Jing Lin, what happened to Tang Yu, what happened to Aunt Su, and what happened to the prince made me feel uneasy.
Especially about the prince, guilt is like a needle stuck in my heart, it doesn't hurt very much, but every time I move, I feel very uncomfortable.
I simply sat up, got up after a while, and went back to bed when I walked to the door.
After doing this several times, I stood between the bed and the door.
Ask yourself, should you give an antidote?
If you really ignore it, do you feel at ease?Don't you feel guilty?
The crown prince is still a child, how can I have the heart to die?
You will regret it, and you will definitely regret it later.
Even if the hatred is difficult to eliminate, it has nothing to do with the prince.
I hate myself for being like this.
It shouldn't be like this.
How could he bury his belief so easily?
I don't like this kind of me, I keep saying that I have to stick to my own path, I said I insisted, but did I persist?
Isn't it easy to abandon the belief?
This is not my original intention.
Gathering my mind, I opened the door and stepped into the night.
When I showed up at Taiwo with the boiled ginger and seaweed tofu stew, the sky was already slightly bright.
"Miss Enen," the old maid who opened the door said in surprise when she saw me, "You're here so early? Is it the Empress Do you have any orders?"
"Yes." I smiled slightly, "Recently, the prince is weak, and the empress ordered someone to cook the soup, and she must let the servants watch the prince drink it to be at ease. From now on, I will take over the prince's breakfast, so you don't have to worry about it. "
"That's going to be hard work for Miss Enen, and the old slaves will be at ease. Hehe!"
"It's time for the prince to wake up, right? I have to go to the school yard to practice riding and shooting later."
"Yes, the maid has already entered to serve."
I nodded, and took the soup pot into the inner hall of the bedroom.
"It's itching to death, itching to death, you all get out!" The prince's roar came from the inner hall, and after a while, several court ladies with teardrops hanging from the corners of their eyes hurriedly escaped.
Seeing me, the maids stopped, sobbing and saluted.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"There are a lot of little red spots growing on the back of the prince. The medicine given by the imperial doctor has been taken for several days, but it has no effect. The prince complains of itching all day long, and his temper is also very angry."
"Go down."
"Yes."
Put the soup pot in his hand on the table in the outer hall, and when he entered the inner hall, he saw that everything in the hall was in disarray, and the ground was full of debris. If he accidentally stepped on it, he might cut his feet.
The prince was sitting angrily, scratching his back with his hands from time to time, and dropped the teacup on the table as if venting when he couldn't reach it.
I stood quietly on one side, just watching him throw things.
Tables, chairs, and even the carvings on the bed were thrown to the ground by him.
In just one stick of incense, the entire inner hall was completely changed.
There was nothing to drop, the prince looked at me with angry eyes, and shouted: "Who allowed you to come in?"
"Didn't the prince allow the servants to stand here?"
"I do not have."
"The prince has seen the servant coming in, but he only cares about throwing the things in front of him. Since he didn't say anything to drive the servant out, he let the servant stay."
"Get out."
"Your servant can only walk, but you can't get away. Why don't you teach your servant how to get away? When I learn it, I will show you how to get away, my servant?"
"You?" The prince rushed to me with a stride, staring at me bitterly.
My heart sank, I haven't seen him for a month, and the prince has grown to be as tall as me. Is it the effect of that happy fan?
Unprecedented self-blame and guilt surfaced in my heart, almost making it impossible for me to look directly at his clear and bright eyes that were still in the rage.
"Come here." I ignored the angry prince, and called to the door.
Five or six palace people came in one after another.
"Clean up here, put everything back to its original position, and make up for what can be used, so you don't have to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get it." I directed.
"What? Make it up and use it again? Does the crown prince still need to use the things that have been repaired?"
"Why can't the prince use the repaired stuff?" I asked back.
"Someone, drag her out." The prince's anger grew even stronger.
The palace people looked at the prince in fear, and then looked at me for help.
They don't dare to drag me, I am the person who personally ordered by the empress to take care of the prince's food and daily life, and I am also the empress' confidant, how dare they?
"Let's all go down." I waved away the palace servants who didn't know what to do, and I tidied up the inner hall by myself.
The prince looked at me with a dark face, his handsome face was almost distorted with anger.
"Your Highness, what a beautiful flower, why did it get broken?" I picked up the flower pot that he broke. The flower in the pot was a double-headed peony, a treasure among treasures.
The prince snorted coldly, said nothing, and sat on the bed sulking.
In order to prevent the fragments from hurting people, I put it on the table, but saw that there was a potted flower on the table, which was extremely colorful, with eight-pointed leaves, and only a few green leaves as companions. Except that the color was too gorgeous, it looked a bit ordinary, but I didn’t know Why do you always want to take a second look.
"This flower is so special, does it have a name?" I wanted to move it, but when I smelled the fragrance of the flower, I sneezed three times. For a moment, my nose was filled with the fragrance of the flower, which was faint and very nice. After the scent, there is another urge to smell it.
"Don't touch it." The prince jumped off the bed, took the flower from me in three steps at a time.
"Does the crown prince like this potted flower very much?" Seeing that he was only looking at me arrogantly, I pretended not to see the anger in his eyes, and said calmly, "Since the crown prince didn't answer, it must have no name, it is wild flowers and weeds. Throw it away."
"you dare?"
"Then can your highness tell me the name of this flower?"
"Her name is Charm." The prince gritted his teeth.
charm?I have never seen such a special flower in the palace. It is said that such a flower can be found in the imperial garden, but this is the first time I have seen this flower.
Then he laughed at himself for being suspicious, thinking about a mere potted flower.
I smiled slightly at the prince, "Your servant is going to get breakfast."
"I won't eat it." The prince refused straight away.
I looked at the potted flower in his arms, "If the crown prince doesn't eat breakfast, this servant will not be polite to this flower."
"you dare?"
"The slaves don't dare, but they don't dare to disobey the queen's will. In order to let the prince eat more, the slaves have to do something to be sorry for the prince."
"Okay, I'll eat."
Looking at the prince's hated look, I smiled, I really didn't expect the prince to be such a flower lover, but it was also strange, since he loves flowers, why did he throw another pot of extremely precious flowers on the ground?
Although the imperial palace is full of thousands of flowers, there are all kinds of flowers, but that pot of peonies is also the best among treasures.
Walking out of the inner hall, when I came in with a hot pot of soup in my hand, I thought to myself: The little red spots on the Prince's body could not be the result of eating happy powder, right?If so, then I...
"It's kelp?" The crown prince's exclamation made me startled, and I saw him looking at me strangely, a trace of confusion flashed in his bright black eyes, and the next moment, he shouted, "I hate eating kelp the most." Kelp."
"You must eat it, otherwise this flower..."
"Did I say no to eating?"
Seeing the prince eating jujubes like swallowing them whole, I breathed a sigh of relief, but even greater uneasiness came over me.
He secretly blamed himself, if he had given the prince the antidote on the day he got the antidote, maybe the little red dot would not have happened.
"It's finished." The prince pushed the copper pot in front of me.
"Is it delicious?" I asked gently.
"It's unpalatable."
Smiling slightly, I said: "I heard that this seaweed stew is very good for the body, and it will give you strength after eating it, but it will take ten days to take effect, and the prince will have to eat it for ten days in a row. Your Highness will go to the school ground later. Practice riding and archery, let's take a good rest first, the servants are leaving."
The prince snorted heavily.
After leaving the hall, I couldn't help but caressed my forehead. Guilt and self-blame were like a chain that bound me out of breath.
Looking back on myself these past few days, I can't express my annoyance.
"Enen, why are you in the womb so early in the morning?"
"Aunt Lian?" When I came back to my senses, I saw Aunt Lian walking towards me, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "My maidservant heard that the crown prince is not feeling well, so she made some soup and came over to have a look."
Aunt Lian nodded, her eyes were a little sad, "It's been two days, and the imperial doctor couldn't tell the reason, and only prescribed some medicine to activate collaterals and relieve blood. The Empress is very worried."
"I think it will be all right in a few days, don't worry too much, aunt."
"I hope so, you should go back to the palace quickly, it's time for the empress to get up."
Blessed, I walked away quickly, not wanting Aunt Lian to see that I was uncomfortable.
Not long after I left, the prince suddenly rushed out from the door, vomiting a while, and threw up all the kelp pot he had just drank.
"Your Highness." Aunt Lian exclaimed.Stepping forward to support the prince, she was startled when she saw the filth spit out by the prince, "Why are you still eating this?"
"It's not that Su En brought it, forcing the prince to eat it." The prince vomited so weakly that he couldn't even speak, "And he said it would take ten days to eat."
"Ten days? Strange," Aunt Lian said, "Does she know that you have been poisoned by Happy Fan?"
"Who knows, since Xiaoru put this powder in the tea, you let me eat seaweed stew every day. I feel sick when I see it right now. Fortunately, Xiaoru doesn't come to the East Palace anymore, otherwise..."
"Your Highness," Aunt Lian looked around, took the Prince's hand into the hall, and said after closing the door, "I have told you many times that you have to endure everything, and you have to think about it when you talk in the palace." You can only speak when you think carefully, the reason why you don’t kill Xiaoru is to train you to be on guard against others, when Enen brought seaweed soup just now, you didn’t say anything you shouldn’t have said, right?”
The prince didn't answer, but asked coldly: "In order to train me to be on guard against others, did the queen mother train Xiao Ru to be a selfish person who would not hesitate to kill others in order to gain power and status?"
"Your Highness, the Empress is doing this for your own good."
"I don't want to be so good. Also, you tell Su En, don't bring seaweed to boil again. The prince will feel disgusted when he sees this."
"Speaking of kelp pot, I feel strange. Why doesn't Xiaoru come to the East Palace secretly?" Aunt Lian thought, "At this time, Su En came here with kelp pot."
"You don't mean that Su En found out that Xiaoru put joy in my tea to keep Xiaoru from coming to the East Palace, and cooked seaweed to save me?" The prince narrowed his eyes and reversed the previous words Violent, immature handsome face has precocious intelligence.
"The servant just felt something was wrong."
"A person doing these things in silence without taking credit? Is she a fool?" The prince smiled contemptuously and entered the inner hall.
Aunt Lian, who followed the prince into the palace, felt a headache when she saw the mess in the palace, "Your Highness, you lost your temper again."
"I can't help it."
"You are the crown prince..."
The crown prince stopped Aunt Lian before she finished speaking, "I know what you are going to say, but I just want to lose my temper."
Aunt Lian shook her head, and when she saw the pot of charm on the table, she said: "This potted flower is quite lucky. Every time you lose your temper, it doesn't suffer any harm. When did the crown prince start to cherish flowers?"
"What do you know? This is a charm that only blooms once in a hundred years in the Western Regions. The flowering period lasts for more than three months. It is strange to say that the prince fell in love with it when he saw it for the first time. It took a lot of effort to make Chen The imperial concubine reluctantly parted with her."
"Is this flower originally belonged to Concubine Chen?" A gleam of intelligence flashed in Aunt Lian's eyes.
"Yes."
But it was morning, and the sun was so strong that it was hard to keep your eyes open.
In the long corridor, I was the only one walking slowly.
The heart of defense is indispensable, and the act of harming others has become a matter of course.
This is the palace, subverting all my knowledge and beliefs.
Kindness is buried in a place where the sun will never shine. It is a stupid and ridiculous term here. No one will believe you, and no one will help you.
The emperor's face appeared in his mind, and he clenched his fists involuntarily.
There was disgust in my heart, towards the palace, towards this person.
Being deprived of his innocence, entering the palace and recognizing him, all I got from my anger and resentment was what he called "ignoring".
Squint your eyes and look at the blue sky and white clouds above your head. The long corridor draws a long blue sky. What you can see is the endless sky. There are many people sharing such a small sky, but I don’t have my share.
Wanting to leave here has never been so urgent since entering the palace. I really hope that I can leave the palace immediately and stay away from this place of right and wrong.
Several palace people came out from different round doors.
Gradually, the number of people on the corridor began to increase.
The weather was so hot that they all left in a hurry.
Just me, walking slowly, slowly.
"Kneel—" A shrill voice came from afar.
To my surprise, it was the emperor's chariot.
Without thinking, I quickened my pace, turned around and entered the round door.
It was just a few steps, but it seemed to be walking for a long time, and I was panting badly.
Hiding in the door opening, I watched the bright yellow chariot leave with hatred. If my eyes were arrows, I would have shot the chariot riddled with holes.
"What are you doing?" Tang Yu's voice sounded from behind.
Startled by him, I quickly shook my head, "It's nothing."
After walking a few steps, I saw that he was still standing there, looking at me coldly.
"What's the matter?" I asked, never seeing him look at me like this, and I couldn't help but feel uneasy.
"The queen will not let you go, but she doesn't dare to do anything to you now. In order to make you loyal to her, even if you are not loyal, it is good as long as you keep her secret, so she ordered me to arrange for your parents. In fact, it's imprisonment." His voice was very soft, but it made my heart pound, and my face turned pale little by little.
"When I arrived at the Su family, I found that the daughter of the Su family had already run away with someone." Tang Yu looked at me coldly, "Who are you?"
"I, I... I'm Su En." The palms were covered in cold sweat.
This secret, even I myself have almost forgotten that it was an imposter entering the palace.
Now that Tang Yu said this, I didn't even have an excuse except to stand uncomfortably.
Under his cold and deep gaze, he couldn't even say a word.
He sighed.
"Tang Yu, I, I... My real name is Su En."
"The important thing is not here. I am not the only person sent by the queen. I am afraid that I already know that you are an impostor."
I was stunned, there were enough things, bad enough, why did I get involved in this one?
"What's going on?" Tang Yu asked, seeing that I hesitated, and said, "You don't want to tell me, or do you not believe me?"
"Of course I believe you, but will you believe me when I tell you?" Believe me, entering the palace under a false name is simply to find a job.
He looked at me with a slight change in his cold gaze, "We have worshiped each other before, hold your hand, and grow old together."
"That's fake." I blurted out.
"I took it for real."
There was a moment of trance, because of the seriousness and tenderness in Tang Yu's eyes, and the sadness in his eyes when I said this sentence.
I don't know why, I just feel the sadness in his eyes is so dazzling, so dazzling that it hurts my heart.
Without any hesitation, I touched his eyebrows with both hands, and gently comforted him on both sides.
Aware of his inappropriate actions, his body froze in place.
What am I doing?What is this doing?
A smile crept into his eyes, and gradually, the corners of his mouth curled up.
At this moment, I suddenly felt that the scorching sun above my head was not so scorching, only the smile in front of me was dazzling.
When he is cold, he is as stiff as ice, and when he laughs, he is as bright as the sun.
At this moment, I felt that the actions just now were not abrupt, and there was even a voice saying that the next time I saw the sadness in his eyes, I wanted to use my own hands to soothe him.
Strangely, in such a mood, when I told the reason why I entered the palace under a false name, I said it very naturally and at ease, as if I should say this to him.
After finishing speaking, I looked at him uneasily and asked, "What should I do?"
"Answer truthfully, don't worry, the queen will not do anything big to you now."
I nodded.
"Enen, Mr. Jing said he wanted to marry you. I don't think what he said is a joke. Will you agree?"
What Jing Lin said that day and his sincere face flashed in my mind.
Will you agree?
No, definitely not.
How could he want to lose my innocence?
I thought so, but for some reason I couldn't give an affirmative answer, I just said: "I'm afraid the queen is looking for me, I'll go first."
Without looking at Tang Yu, I left in a hurry.
He must be very disappointed.
After leaving the round door, I still felt that someone was looking at me all the time, alone, on my back.
Back to the queen's palace, but did not see the queen.
"Aunt Lian came just now, and she said something to the empress, and the empress went out." After the maid finished speaking, she walked away.
I let out a sigh of relief.At least at this moment, I'm not ready to meet the queen.
It wasn't until the sunset that the queen returned to the palace with the support of Aunt Lian.
"Your maidservant has seen your empress." I hurriedly ordered the palace servants to fetch water, twisted a sweat towel for the queen, and made tea.
When drinking tea, the queen's beautiful apricot eyes would glance at me from time to time, and even Aunt Lian who was beside me would look at me from time to time.
"My palace needs to take a bath, go down and get ready." The queen said, her voice was not as sharp as before, but a little gentler.
"Yes." My heart was even more disturbed, why didn't the queen ask me about entering the palace under a false name?
It was late at night after serving the queen to take a bath, because the queen fell asleep in the bath and looked very tired.
I had no choice but to accompany her and waited for her to wake up before helping her back to the inner hall to rest.
For several hours, the queen didn't say a word, but her serious eyes would always glance at me from time to time.
The palace maid was already changing the candles, I took a new candle from her and said: "Let me come, lighten up when I go out, Your Majesty seems to be exhausted today."
The palace servant nodded, "Your Majesty is very interested today. After admiring the flowers in the imperial garden for a day, I went to the tribute room to see the uncultivated potted flowers from the Western Regions."
"is it?"
The maid secretly smiled and said happily: "The palace people are very happy. When they came back from the imperial garden, Aunt Lian fell and heard that her foot was swollen a lot. She even went to the imperial hospital to get medicine."
"Did Aunt Lian go to the Imperial Hospital to get the medicine herself?"
"Yes."
"Doesn't the imperial pharmacy have medicines for general bruises? Why did Aunt Lian go to the Imperial Hospital?" Palace people are not allowed to leave the harem without authorization. For general ailments, the imperial doctor prepares medicines and prepares them in the imperial dining room. The palace people go directly to get it.
The imperial hospital is where the imperial physician works, and palace people who are not seriously ill are not allowed to go there.
"Maybe it was a bad fall, the common medicine in the imperial dining room didn't work." The maid yawned.
"Go to sleep now."
"Yes, sister Enen, go to bed early too." The maid said and left the hall.
The more I thought about it, the more weird it became, but I couldn't think of anything weird.
Just when I shortened the candlestick, the maid who had just left ran in in a panic, "Sister Enen, the emperor is here."
Just as he was speaking, Ming Huang's figure entered the hall.
I don't even have time to prepare.
"My maidservant has seen the emperor." The maid hurriedly knelt down, saw that I was in a daze, and pulled off my sleeve.
"Emperor, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is asleep." The maid hesitated, with a nervous expression on her face. After all, the emperor did not say that he would come to the empress today, and the palace people were not prepared.
"Really? Then don't wake up the queen, I just sit down and go, go down."
The court lady exited the hall politely.
There was silence, a suffocating silence.
I could feel his eyes on me.
I stood indifferently, in the same space as him, with great repulsion in my heart, but there was nothing I could do.
Suddenly, bright yellow shoes appeared under my eyes.
Surprised, he looked up, and his eyes met in the air.
He frowned and looked at me with complicated eyes.
I took a step back in amazement, I bowed my head and said, "The emperor sit down, and the servants will make tea for the emperor."
"Look at me." He bullied me.
Biting my lower lip, I backed away again.
"Don't make me repeat the same thing, just look at me." The cool sentence, with the unique domineering aura of the Supreme, is irresistible.
I looked up, and the hatred in my eyes was directly reflected in his dark eyes.
He darkened his face, as if he couldn't believe it, "Do you really hate me so much?"
My nails dug into my palm, but I didn't feel any pain because I was too shocked.
I really thought I heard it wrong.
Or the person in front of him is not the emperor at all.
The emperor, who is familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics and understands propriety, righteousness and shame, would ask such a ridiculous sentence?
Does he think I shouldn't hate him?
"How many women are waiting for my favor, and some women have waited for a lifetime without even seeing me." He stood quietly, his serious eyes locked on me, puzzled.
What can I say to such a person.
When a person who raped you asks you why you hate him so much with bewildered eyes, what expression should he have besides feeling ridiculous and sad?
Is such a shameful man really the emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty?
"Speak." There was anger in the cool voice.
"It's late at night, if the emperor wants to rest here, the servants will go to prepare." Suppressing my anger, I said in a stiff voice.
"Aren't you so indifferent to my favour?" His sudden bullying made me subconsciously take three steps back, covering my extremely uncomfortable chest, and my face turned pale.
He narrowed his eyes, stared at me deeply, and bullied me again.
As I retreated, my stomach became more and more uncomfortable, and my face became paler and paler, until there was no way I could retreat, and he pushed me into a corner.
I couldn't bear the pain in my chest anymore, I pushed him away, looked at him with disgust, and blurted out, "Don't come close to me, you make me feel sick."
"What?" He pursed his lips tightly, his eyes filled with anger, disbelief, frustration, and even a trace of killing intent.
Straightening out my chest, I looked at him resentfully, but my heart trembled because of the killing intent in his eyes.
I know this offended him, but I don't regret it.
This is how I really feel right now.
"You, you will be my respect... I am talking to you here," he didn't say any more, just stared at me, his gaze became colder and colder until it was ice-cold.
I couldn't help shivering. I always thought that Tang Yu's eyes were called cold, but now I know that real cold can make people frightened. The fear emanating from my bones makes me want to kneel down and beg for mercy.
But it forced me to stand upright, I stood up straighter, and the gaze entangled with him became more firm.
"Very well, Su En, I hate people like you too." He gave me a gloomy look, then shook his sleeves and left.
bang——
The wooden door was slowly opened and then closed heavily.
The candle flame flickered.
My whole body seemed to be falling apart, and I fell to the ground, gasping for breath.
For a moment, I thought he was going to kill me.
For two consecutive days, it rained continuously.
The hot weather cooled down instantly.
The weather was too different, causing mildew in some corners of the palace, and the palace people began to be busy.
In the past two days, although the queen has treated me badly, she didn't let me do any more rough work, such as washing feet and doing laundry, all returned to their original places.
Just as I was instructing the palace people to add charcoal to the moldy place, I heard a bang in the inner hall, the sound of the vase being thrown to the ground.
The palace people looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling uneasy in their hearts.
I hurried into the inner hall, and saw the ground shattered.
Aunt Lian, who was inside, waved to me to let me back down.
I hurriedly bowed, and when I stepped back, I saw a piece of paper on the table. Although the center of the paper was pressed by the queen's slender hand, I could vaguely see a flower drawn on the paper, a very familiar flower.
Hey, isn't this the potted flower in Tai's womb?The reason why it can be recognized at a glance is that its petals are eight petals, which is a very rare number of petals.
Why is there a charming painting in the queen's hand?
When closing the door, I vaguely heard the queen curse, "Damn Concubine Liu."
It is already the fifth day.
Looking at the kelp stew in his hand, as long as the prince eats it for another five days, the poison of the happy powder will be cured.
"Miss Enen, are you here?" The old maid from Taiwomen opened the door and said with a smile.
"Yes, is the prince up?"
"Wake up early."
"Is the little red spot on the prince better?"
The old maid narrowed her eyes with a smile, "It's much better, and the prince is in a very good mood these two days."
I nodded and walked towards the bedroom.
As soon as I entered the inner hall, I saw the prince coming out fully dressed. When he saw the pot in my hand, he immediately frowned, his face was full of disgust, and he looked like he was about to vomit.
I laughed and said, "It's the fifth day, as long as His Highness persists for another five days."
It's strange, since the first day I threatened him with smashing flowers to drink the seaweed stew, in the past five days, when I appeared here with the seaweed stew, he ate it without saying a word, and ate it from time to time He looked at me with great confusion in his eyes.
"It's over." With a bang, the copper pot was placed heavily on the table, and the prince had a bitter expression on his face, as if he had eaten bitter herbs.
"Is it so unpalatable when the servant girl burns it?" I wondered.
"You go and try the same thing for three or four months, it's no wonder you don't vomit." The prince gritted his teeth.
"Your Highness, you've only been eating for five days, how could it be three or four months?"
The prince snorted heavily and was about to leave the palace.
"Your Highness, where are you going?"
"I want to return my charm after looking for my mother."
"Your Majesty hasn't gotten up yet." I looked at the table, where another precious bonsai had been replaced.Two days ago, the empress suddenly ordered someone to take Charm away, saying that she wanted to appreciate it, but she never sent it back after taking it away. The prince sent people to remind her from time to time, but the empress always refused to send it back with the excuse that she hadn't finished appreciating it. .
Seeing that the prince had already left the palace, I hurried to catch up.
The drizzle was falling, and the entire palace was shrouded in haze.
The prince ran too fast, and I couldn't catch up. I walked too fast, and the rain splashed all over me, so I had to walk slowly towards a slightly dry place.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, so I had no choice but to run into a nearby pavilion first.
I dropped my umbrella and sat in the pavilion, looking at the gray sky.
When he didn't want to look away, under the rain curtain like a string curtain, it was him, Jing Lin, in fluttering white clothes, as warm as jade.
"My lord, it's raining too much. You go into the pavilion to hide from the rain. The servant will call the sedan chair over immediately." The accompanying palace man said, leading him into the pavilion.
Shaking the wet hem of his clothes, the palace man quickly ran into the rain again to call for a sedan chair.
"Your servant has met you." I saluted, but my mouth was full of bitterness.
Eight days have passed since that day, and he has not heard back.
It was as expected, and it should have been.
But I still feel lost.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, but I don't want to stay in the pavilion anymore.
Being alone with him is torture.
When I was about to leave the pavilion, a hand blocked my face, and his gentle voice sounded in my ear, "I was shocked when I heard it, and when I recovered, you had already left."
I smiled palely, saluted briefly, and left.
"Enn, I don't mind, what I admire is your people."
Looking at him, his eyes are extremely sincere, a kind of sincerity that makes people trust.
But it felt so unreal to me.
Does he really not mind?
"I should have looked for you a long time ago. It's just that there are remnants of the former dynasty committing crimes in the city during this period of time. I have been busy here and have no time to enter the palace. If the emperor didn't summon me today, I'm afraid I'm still cleaning up the remnants of the former dynasty."
"You really don't mind?" I still can't believe what I heard.
"I care, but I don't mind. I care about the hurt you suffered, and I feel sad when I think of your fear and helplessness at that time." His voice was extremely calm, not just casually, but from the bottom of his heart .
My eye sockets gradually became moist, the unexpected answer, I never thought that he would think like this, be so tolerant.
"Enen, you are a good girl, you deserve to be cherished." The gentle eyes radiated with sincerity, Jing Lin smiled slightly, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you this at the first time, it has made you uneasy these days. "
I nodded and shook my head again.
A lot of things have happened these days, and they are all things that cannot be explained clearly.
I am very happy now, I feel that the burden in my heart has been let go, and my whole body is relaxed.
"What's your answer?"
"what?"
"I want to marry you, are you willing to be my Mrs. Shangshu?" He looked at me with a smile, his eyes full of tenderness.
At this moment, I hesitated, what Tang Yu said that day and his serious expression suddenly flashed in my mind.
"We have worshiped the church, hold the hand of the son, and grow old together with the son."
Why do you think of Tang Yu at this moment?
My heart suddenly became chaotic.
As soon as my nose got cold, I saw Jing Lin tapped my nose with some rainwater, and said with a smile, "Why are you in a daze."
"No."
"Do you think I'm unreliable?"
"No."
"I can't forget her. In the past years, I have her in every memory. But I like you, your temperament, your behavior, I appreciate them all, and I believe that as time goes by , I will fall in love with you in the end." He said.
When I was a child, my parents always liked to joke that our En En must marry an honest man who can take responsibility when he grows up. For a person, quality is the most important, and honesty is the most precious quality.
"Mother, En En will marry a handsome man when she grows up." I remember what I said at the time.
My father and mother smiled, and hugged me lovingly, and my father said: "If Enen wants to marry a beautiful man, he must have the ability to control his husband, otherwise the beautiful man will be snatched away by others, but our little Enen Hey, he is a kind and honest child, so it would be nice to find someone who is simple, down-to-earth, and able to take on the heavy burden of farm work."
"No, Enen is going to marry a handsome man."
"Okay, okay, then marry a handsome man." Listening to my childish voice, my parents couldn't breathe from laughing.
The education of my parents has always influenced me. When I grow up, no matter how ugly a person is, as long as he talks to me sincerely, he will always gain my favor.
I like Jing Lin, I liked him the first time I saw him, and now, he is speaking to me so frankly and sincerely, he doesn't dislike me for being imperfect.
Why can't I agree?
However, I don't know why, but I just can't nod my head, and I just can't say that good word.
"My lord, the sedan chair is here." Amidst the pattering rain, the father-in-law's voice came.
Not far away, the father-in-law led the bearers and galloped over, and soon arrived outside the pavilion.
"It's a matter of life's happiness, think about it carefully." He touched the rain on his fingertips, then tapped the tip of my nose lightly, and said with a smile, "If you have confidence in yourself, please also have confidence in me, I'll wait for you answer."
Watching him leave, my heart was very chaotic, but I couldn't find the root of the chaos.
After sitting for a long time, the rain finally subsided. You can see the gray sky above your head, and you can tell that there will be more rain in the future.
After leaving the pavilion, I hurried back to the palace.
Unexpectedly, when she walked up the palace corridor, she collided with someone, and the clothes in her hand fell all over the floor.
"I'm sorry." He hurriedly picked up the fallen clothes, and saw that these clothes were all small clothes, and only Concubine An was the only one in the whole palace with children.
"You don't have long eyes when you walk?" A cold shout came from above, "How do you walk..."
When I looked up, her cursing stopped abruptly.
"Who am I? It turns out to be Su En, the queen's personal maid." Xiao Ling's voice was very strong, and she was extremely provocative, "No wonder, you came to hit me on purpose, right?"
Snatching the clothes from my hand, Xiaoling gave me a blank look.
"Why did I hit you?" I asked back.
"Who would know what an insidious villain like you thinks, what kind of master there is, there will be what kind of slave." Xiao Ling left after finishing speaking.
I closed my eyes and stretched out my feet.
"Ouch, it hurts—" Xiaoling threw herself forward and fell to the ground, her breasts were covered with children's clothes, so she didn't feel pain from the fall.
"You—" Xiaoling got up quickly and glared at me angrily.
I looked at her deeply, and said: "I will stab someone in the back, and I will fight back if you try to play tricks on me again."
"I do not understand what you are saying."
"Can pretending that nothing happened afterward can erase the harm?"
"What harm? Don't talk nonsense." Xiaoling looked around in a panic, picked up the little clothes that fell on the floor, and stared at me, "Don't think that you can spitting blood just because you are a celebrity in front of the queen, don't forget Ann The imperial concubine also gave birth to the second prince."
Watching Xiaoling leave triumphantly, I sighed.
Concubine An gave birth to the second prince, and her status has undoubtedly risen to another level. Apart from the empress, she is the most favored.
From Xiao Ling's proud expression when she left, it can be seen how much attention Concubine An is now.
But is it really a happy event?
Just entered the Queen's Palace.
I saw Xiaoru coming over with a cup of tea with a smile on her face. When she saw me, she immediately pulled down her face.
These days, Xiao Ru comes to the Queen's Palace from time to time to flatter the Queen.
Seeing me looking at her, Xiao Ru curled her lips, "Don't worry, it's just tea."
I didn't say anything, and went straight into the hall.
"Queen, how could you do that?" The prince's dissatisfied voice came from the inner hall.
"I told you, but I accidentally broke Charm, so I had to ask the palace servants to throw it away." The queen said helplessly.
"Your Highness," Aunt Lian's voice sounded, "Your Majesty likes that flower so much that you can't help but touch it lightly. Who knows that flower is so untouched, so don't blame your Majesty."
As soon as Aunt Lian finished speaking, she saw the prince angrily running out of the inner hall.
"Your Highness." Xiaoru shouted happily, "This is your favorite blueberry tea."
The prince didn't even look at Xiao Ru, and when he ran past her, he raised his hand and overturned the teacup, and left in a hurry.
Xiaoru was stunned in place, her eyes were filled with disbelief, grievance and tears.
In the middle of the night, the queen called me over suddenly, staring at me sharply.
I was worried, not knowing why the queen called me.
"Su En, do you know that Ben Gong wants to kill you." Finally, the Queen spoke.
"The servant knows."
"But killing you at this time will only add trouble to me, so I want to threaten your loyalty to me with the lives of your parents."
My heart sank a little bit, and the queen really knew that I was not that Su En, but a person pretending to enter the palace.
"I really didn't expect that you, Su En, are not the real Su En." The queen sneered, "I am amazed that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is so negligent, and I don't even know that such a big person has been transferred, but there is no doubt that as long as the internal affairs After the government said this, I won’t bother me to kill you myself.”
"The slave is..."
"You don't need to explain to me." The queen approached me and looked at me deeply, "I just don't understand. You know that I am going to kill you, so why did you save the prince?"
Looking up, I was momentarily puzzled by what the queen said.
"Kelp stew, if you just feed the crown prince one meal, I won't doubt that you know about the happy powder. You have let the crown prince eat it for five days in a row, and the crown prince said that it will take ten days to make it clear. You know that the crown prince has been poisoned by the happy powder, and this kelp stew is the antidote."
"The queen also knows about happy fans?" I was shocked for a moment, even overshadowing the fact that the queen knew that I was pretending to enter the palace.
How could the Queen know about Happy Fan?
"As long as it's about the prince's affairs, Ben Gong is naturally careful. Since the day I conceived him, I have blocked all the ups and downs for him. As long as he doesn't ascend the throne, my mother can't worry about it for a day. .” There was a murderous look on the queen’s face.
"Why? Since the empress knows that Xiao Ru puts happy powder in the tea, why does she let the prince drink it?"
The queen smiled coldly, "As soon as the crown prince drinks the tea, Aunt Lian will serve seaweed to detoxify after a while."
I don't understand, knowing that Xiao Ru is poisoning the crown prince, why didn't he just arrest Xiao Ru?
Seeing the confusion in my eyes, the queen sat down, tapped the teacup on the table with one hand, and said calmly: "Xiao Ru is a puppet trained by this palace. Her existence is to train Xu Er to be on guard. Xin, she is selfish, loves vanity, and will use any means to achieve her goals. I also believe that in the future, others will repeat these methods on Xu'er, and by then, the grown-up prince will be able to handle it with ease."
There was a moment of sluggishness in my mind, and I just felt that I had heard an extremely ridiculous thing.
A puppet trained by one hand?Just to train the prince's defense?
Can't believe it's true.
Such absurdity.
People, what is in her eyes?
She said so indifferently.
I can't describe my mood at the moment, and I can't express my current thoughts in words.
I just feel that my whole body is sweating in the hot weather in September, and I feel the coldness in my heart.
"For the sake of protecting the crown prince, I will spare your life, and I will not pursue the matter of you pretending to enter the palace." The queen raised her eyebrows, her eyes narrowed like blades, "I believe you are I won't betray Bengong, after all, betraying Bengong means betraying Jinglin, isn't it?"
I didn't answer, the Queen's words were still in my mind.
"Go down." The queen looked at me coldly.
I don't know how I got back to the small side room, I just sat there blankly.
It's time to get used to it, this is the palace.
But I don't know why, my heart is so cold.
Are all people being used unknowingly?
And me?
Could it be that in the dark, there is such a person dealing with me like the Queen did to Xiaoru?
Tomorrow time.
The palace man broke into the small side room suddenly, and couldn't help saying that he dragged me away.
In the outer hall, a group of palace people were kneeling.
When I saw Ming Huang's figure, I was very surprised. Why did the emperor come so early?
Beside him, the queen was sitting with a sullen face, and the one sitting on her right was Concubine An.
Concubine An's eyes were red and swollen, she had obviously cried, and Xiao Ling stood beside her to comfort her.
What happened?
What is Concubine An doing in the Queen's Palace so early?
I was pressed down to kneel on the ground by the palace guards.
The atmosphere in the palace was very heavy, and every palace official did not dare to take a breath, as if a storm was about to come.
All eyes were on me.
"I have seen the emperor, the empress, and the concubine An. Why did you call Su Enlai?" I asked uneasily.
The queen took a look at Concubine An and looked at me deeply, "Last night, the Second Prince was crying and fussing, and he couldn't sleep no matter how much he coaxed him. When Concubine An checked the Second Prince's body, she found that there were three thin needles in the Second Prince's clothes. The second prince's delicate back was also scratched, and his clothes were covered in blood."
(End of this chapter)
Why is it so hot?
Even guilt is a matter of time.
After a long time, isn't everything over?
With a firm heart, I walked towards Anfei Palace.
When I arrived at Anfei Palace, the emperor had already left.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the queen got up and went back to the palace.
Tang Yu stood outside Anfei Palace and waited.
"There must be someone behind Concubine An to help." The queen walked slowly, talking to Tang Yu while walking.
"Could it be the emperor?" Tang Yu asked after thinking about it.
The queen shook her head, "The emperor never asks about the affairs of the harem."
"Ma'am, are you sure?"
"Emperor, since ancient times, there has never been one who was not cruel." The queen looked a little lonely, "The emperor is a wise king, but also a cold man. On the night of my wedding, the first sentence he said to me was' A woman standing next to this king must have the ability to protect herself, and this king will not spend much time protecting her, otherwise, the tragic end will be brought on by himself."
"Who could it be?" Tang Yu frowned.
Although I followed the Queen's side in an orderly manner, because of my unsteady mind, the prince's affairs always caused ripples in my heart as if I had thrown a stone, so I didn't listen carefully to what they were saying.
It's just that when my eyes accidentally fell on Tang Yu, I couldn't help being stunned.
I always knew that Tang Yu was very handsome, but now, I couldn't take my eyes off him.
Perhaps what really makes me unable to take my eyes off is the complex aura emanating from him, the aura mixed with loneliness, arrogance, indifference, and even alienation.
Tang Yu was silent and cold, his coldness completely cut off the bright sun above his head, but my heart felt something other than the coldness, a feeling of loneliness.
lonely?He's not alone, isn't he talking to the queen?
How can I feel that he is lonely?
What's wrong?Why do I have inexplicable feelings every time I meet Tang Yu these days?
When you are sad, you can't help but want to get close to him?
There is even a strange urge to comfort him, obviously he doesn't need my comfort or anything.
As if aware of my gaze, Tang Yu also looked at me, although it was just a glance, the coldness in his eyes was no longer cold, but a touch of warmth.
My heart suddenly tightened, and all my nerves were pulled, and I felt agitated. I suddenly felt very uncomfortable, and my face was hot. I hurriedly looked away.
The sunset glow is beautiful, and the place is full of gold.
Taking advantage of the time, I came to the laundry bureau.
The ladies in the palace were all washing their clothes seriously, no one dared to be sloppy, it seemed that they were all well trained by Aunt Su.
"Where's Aunt Suyan?" asked the little palace maid who was doing laundry beside her.
"I saw my aunt and aunt Mingxiu went to the bamboo forest over there." The little maid pointed to the small bamboo forest behind the wall.
I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart. Didn't the maid in the imperial dining room say that Aunt Suyan was beaten?It doesn't appear to be seriously injured.
Soon, I came to the bamboo forest.
It's very cool here, and after getting in here, I really don't want to go out and be exposed to the sun.
There was only one exit from the bamboo forest, so I squatted on a bamboo foot that had been cut flat, waiting for Aunt Suyan and the others to come out.
After a while, there was indeed a sound, but it was not the sound of footsteps, but the sound of slapping.
I got up and was about to enter the bamboo forest when I saw someone coming out. Out of vigilance, I hid behind a few bamboos that were side by side not far away.
When I saw that the people who came out were Concubine Chen and Mingxiu, I was very surprised.
Why is Concubine Chen here?
What is she doing here?
Without thinking about it, I quickly walked towards where they came from.
"Auntie?" I exclaimed when I saw Suyan Aunt sitting on the ground with tears all over her face, "What's wrong with you? Your face?"
Aunt Su's white face had a palm print, which was red and swollen.
"Enen, why are you here?" Seeing it was me, Aunt Su got up hurriedly, turned her head and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then looked at me with a smile, "I'll show you a joke."
"What's going on? Was Concubine Chen hitting him?"
"you saw it?"
I shook my head, "I heard the voice, and saw Concubine Chen and Mingxiu coming out."
"Enen, promise me, don't reveal a word about today's affairs to others." Aunt Su suddenly grabbed my hand, holding it tightly, with a very nervous expression.
"Okay. Auntie, what happened?"
"It's better you don't know." Aunt Su walked to the edge of the pool, looked at the surface of the pool and sighed, "It looks like you won't be able to get out of the laundry bureau within ten days."
"Auntie, I heard from the maid in the imperial dining room that you were beaten by Concubine Chen. Is this true?" Aunt Su didn't want to talk about what happened just now, so I didn't ask.
"It's okay, it's just a few hits, it won't hurt the muscles and bones."
Seeing that Aunt Su was arranging her somewhat messy hair facing the water, I hurriedly took out a silk handkerchief and dipped some water in it and applied it to her slightly swollen left cheek.
There are many doubts in my heart. Aunt Su has always been calm and does not provoke disputes in the palace. What is Concubine Chen doing here?
Was that slap from Concubine Chen?
"Enen." Taking off the silk handkerchief and returning it to me, Aunt Suyan looked at me cautiously and said, "If you have nothing to do, don't come to the laundry bureau to look for me."
"why?"
Aunt Su looked at the water for a long time and said, "This is for your own good."
for me?I am more and more confused.
"Enen, you have to be careful of Concubine Liu." Aunt Su said again, her eyes were filled with worry, "She has a deep scheming mind."
Facing Aunt Su's worries, even though I was puzzled, I still nodded.
"Auntie, where did you get the antidote for Happy Powder?"
Aunt Su looked at me with deep eyes, "Enen, do you trust Auntie?"
"Trust me." In this world, Aunt Su is the person I trust the most and the person I love the most.
"Then don't ask anything. All I can tell you is that the antidote is real." After speaking, Aunt Su got up and walked outside the forest.
Looking at Aunt Su's back, I feel that Aunt Su hides a lot of secrets.
In the middle of the night, I opened my eyes.
Tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
What happened to Jing Lin, what happened to Tang Yu, what happened to Aunt Su, and what happened to the prince made me feel uneasy.
Especially about the prince, guilt is like a needle stuck in my heart, it doesn't hurt very much, but every time I move, I feel very uncomfortable.
I simply sat up, got up after a while, and went back to bed when I walked to the door.
After doing this several times, I stood between the bed and the door.
Ask yourself, should you give an antidote?
If you really ignore it, do you feel at ease?Don't you feel guilty?
The crown prince is still a child, how can I have the heart to die?
You will regret it, and you will definitely regret it later.
Even if the hatred is difficult to eliminate, it has nothing to do with the prince.
I hate myself for being like this.
It shouldn't be like this.
How could he bury his belief so easily?
I don't like this kind of me, I keep saying that I have to stick to my own path, I said I insisted, but did I persist?
Isn't it easy to abandon the belief?
This is not my original intention.
Gathering my mind, I opened the door and stepped into the night.
When I showed up at Taiwo with the boiled ginger and seaweed tofu stew, the sky was already slightly bright.
"Miss Enen," the old maid who opened the door said in surprise when she saw me, "You're here so early? Is it the Empress Do you have any orders?"
"Yes." I smiled slightly, "Recently, the prince is weak, and the empress ordered someone to cook the soup, and she must let the servants watch the prince drink it to be at ease. From now on, I will take over the prince's breakfast, so you don't have to worry about it. "
"That's going to be hard work for Miss Enen, and the old slaves will be at ease. Hehe!"
"It's time for the prince to wake up, right? I have to go to the school yard to practice riding and shooting later."
"Yes, the maid has already entered to serve."
I nodded, and took the soup pot into the inner hall of the bedroom.
"It's itching to death, itching to death, you all get out!" The prince's roar came from the inner hall, and after a while, several court ladies with teardrops hanging from the corners of their eyes hurriedly escaped.
Seeing me, the maids stopped, sobbing and saluted.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"There are a lot of little red spots growing on the back of the prince. The medicine given by the imperial doctor has been taken for several days, but it has no effect. The prince complains of itching all day long, and his temper is also very angry."
"Go down."
"Yes."
Put the soup pot in his hand on the table in the outer hall, and when he entered the inner hall, he saw that everything in the hall was in disarray, and the ground was full of debris. If he accidentally stepped on it, he might cut his feet.
The prince was sitting angrily, scratching his back with his hands from time to time, and dropped the teacup on the table as if venting when he couldn't reach it.
I stood quietly on one side, just watching him throw things.
Tables, chairs, and even the carvings on the bed were thrown to the ground by him.
In just one stick of incense, the entire inner hall was completely changed.
There was nothing to drop, the prince looked at me with angry eyes, and shouted: "Who allowed you to come in?"
"Didn't the prince allow the servants to stand here?"
"I do not have."
"The prince has seen the servant coming in, but he only cares about throwing the things in front of him. Since he didn't say anything to drive the servant out, he let the servant stay."
"Get out."
"Your servant can only walk, but you can't get away. Why don't you teach your servant how to get away? When I learn it, I will show you how to get away, my servant?"
"You?" The prince rushed to me with a stride, staring at me bitterly.
My heart sank, I haven't seen him for a month, and the prince has grown to be as tall as me. Is it the effect of that happy fan?
Unprecedented self-blame and guilt surfaced in my heart, almost making it impossible for me to look directly at his clear and bright eyes that were still in the rage.
"Come here." I ignored the angry prince, and called to the door.
Five or six palace people came in one after another.
"Clean up here, put everything back to its original position, and make up for what can be used, so you don't have to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get it." I directed.
"What? Make it up and use it again? Does the crown prince still need to use the things that have been repaired?"
"Why can't the prince use the repaired stuff?" I asked back.
"Someone, drag her out." The prince's anger grew even stronger.
The palace people looked at the prince in fear, and then looked at me for help.
They don't dare to drag me, I am the person who personally ordered by the empress to take care of the prince's food and daily life, and I am also the empress' confidant, how dare they?
"Let's all go down." I waved away the palace servants who didn't know what to do, and I tidied up the inner hall by myself.
The prince looked at me with a dark face, his handsome face was almost distorted with anger.
"Your Highness, what a beautiful flower, why did it get broken?" I picked up the flower pot that he broke. The flower in the pot was a double-headed peony, a treasure among treasures.
The prince snorted coldly, said nothing, and sat on the bed sulking.
In order to prevent the fragments from hurting people, I put it on the table, but saw that there was a potted flower on the table, which was extremely colorful, with eight-pointed leaves, and only a few green leaves as companions. Except that the color was too gorgeous, it looked a bit ordinary, but I didn’t know Why do you always want to take a second look.
"This flower is so special, does it have a name?" I wanted to move it, but when I smelled the fragrance of the flower, I sneezed three times. For a moment, my nose was filled with the fragrance of the flower, which was faint and very nice. After the scent, there is another urge to smell it.
"Don't touch it." The prince jumped off the bed, took the flower from me in three steps at a time.
"Does the crown prince like this potted flower very much?" Seeing that he was only looking at me arrogantly, I pretended not to see the anger in his eyes, and said calmly, "Since the crown prince didn't answer, it must have no name, it is wild flowers and weeds. Throw it away."
"you dare?"
"Then can your highness tell me the name of this flower?"
"Her name is Charm." The prince gritted his teeth.
charm?I have never seen such a special flower in the palace. It is said that such a flower can be found in the imperial garden, but this is the first time I have seen this flower.
Then he laughed at himself for being suspicious, thinking about a mere potted flower.
I smiled slightly at the prince, "Your servant is going to get breakfast."
"I won't eat it." The prince refused straight away.
I looked at the potted flower in his arms, "If the crown prince doesn't eat breakfast, this servant will not be polite to this flower."
"you dare?"
"The slaves don't dare, but they don't dare to disobey the queen's will. In order to let the prince eat more, the slaves have to do something to be sorry for the prince."
"Okay, I'll eat."
Looking at the prince's hated look, I smiled, I really didn't expect the prince to be such a flower lover, but it was also strange, since he loves flowers, why did he throw another pot of extremely precious flowers on the ground?
Although the imperial palace is full of thousands of flowers, there are all kinds of flowers, but that pot of peonies is also the best among treasures.
Walking out of the inner hall, when I came in with a hot pot of soup in my hand, I thought to myself: The little red spots on the Prince's body could not be the result of eating happy powder, right?If so, then I...
"It's kelp?" The crown prince's exclamation made me startled, and I saw him looking at me strangely, a trace of confusion flashed in his bright black eyes, and the next moment, he shouted, "I hate eating kelp the most." Kelp."
"You must eat it, otherwise this flower..."
"Did I say no to eating?"
Seeing the prince eating jujubes like swallowing them whole, I breathed a sigh of relief, but even greater uneasiness came over me.
He secretly blamed himself, if he had given the prince the antidote on the day he got the antidote, maybe the little red dot would not have happened.
"It's finished." The prince pushed the copper pot in front of me.
"Is it delicious?" I asked gently.
"It's unpalatable."
Smiling slightly, I said: "I heard that this seaweed stew is very good for the body, and it will give you strength after eating it, but it will take ten days to take effect, and the prince will have to eat it for ten days in a row. Your Highness will go to the school ground later. Practice riding and archery, let's take a good rest first, the servants are leaving."
The prince snorted heavily.
After leaving the hall, I couldn't help but caressed my forehead. Guilt and self-blame were like a chain that bound me out of breath.
Looking back on myself these past few days, I can't express my annoyance.
"Enen, why are you in the womb so early in the morning?"
"Aunt Lian?" When I came back to my senses, I saw Aunt Lian walking towards me, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "My maidservant heard that the crown prince is not feeling well, so she made some soup and came over to have a look."
Aunt Lian nodded, her eyes were a little sad, "It's been two days, and the imperial doctor couldn't tell the reason, and only prescribed some medicine to activate collaterals and relieve blood. The Empress is very worried."
"I think it will be all right in a few days, don't worry too much, aunt."
"I hope so, you should go back to the palace quickly, it's time for the empress to get up."
Blessed, I walked away quickly, not wanting Aunt Lian to see that I was uncomfortable.
Not long after I left, the prince suddenly rushed out from the door, vomiting a while, and threw up all the kelp pot he had just drank.
"Your Highness." Aunt Lian exclaimed.Stepping forward to support the prince, she was startled when she saw the filth spit out by the prince, "Why are you still eating this?"
"It's not that Su En brought it, forcing the prince to eat it." The prince vomited so weakly that he couldn't even speak, "And he said it would take ten days to eat."
"Ten days? Strange," Aunt Lian said, "Does she know that you have been poisoned by Happy Fan?"
"Who knows, since Xiaoru put this powder in the tea, you let me eat seaweed stew every day. I feel sick when I see it right now. Fortunately, Xiaoru doesn't come to the East Palace anymore, otherwise..."
"Your Highness," Aunt Lian looked around, took the Prince's hand into the hall, and said after closing the door, "I have told you many times that you have to endure everything, and you have to think about it when you talk in the palace." You can only speak when you think carefully, the reason why you don’t kill Xiaoru is to train you to be on guard against others, when Enen brought seaweed soup just now, you didn’t say anything you shouldn’t have said, right?”
The prince didn't answer, but asked coldly: "In order to train me to be on guard against others, did the queen mother train Xiao Ru to be a selfish person who would not hesitate to kill others in order to gain power and status?"
"Your Highness, the Empress is doing this for your own good."
"I don't want to be so good. Also, you tell Su En, don't bring seaweed to boil again. The prince will feel disgusted when he sees this."
"Speaking of kelp pot, I feel strange. Why doesn't Xiaoru come to the East Palace secretly?" Aunt Lian thought, "At this time, Su En came here with kelp pot."
"You don't mean that Su En found out that Xiaoru put joy in my tea to keep Xiaoru from coming to the East Palace, and cooked seaweed to save me?" The prince narrowed his eyes and reversed the previous words Violent, immature handsome face has precocious intelligence.
"The servant just felt something was wrong."
"A person doing these things in silence without taking credit? Is she a fool?" The prince smiled contemptuously and entered the inner hall.
Aunt Lian, who followed the prince into the palace, felt a headache when she saw the mess in the palace, "Your Highness, you lost your temper again."
"I can't help it."
"You are the crown prince..."
The crown prince stopped Aunt Lian before she finished speaking, "I know what you are going to say, but I just want to lose my temper."
Aunt Lian shook her head, and when she saw the pot of charm on the table, she said: "This potted flower is quite lucky. Every time you lose your temper, it doesn't suffer any harm. When did the crown prince start to cherish flowers?"
"What do you know? This is a charm that only blooms once in a hundred years in the Western Regions. The flowering period lasts for more than three months. It is strange to say that the prince fell in love with it when he saw it for the first time. It took a lot of effort to make Chen The imperial concubine reluctantly parted with her."
"Is this flower originally belonged to Concubine Chen?" A gleam of intelligence flashed in Aunt Lian's eyes.
"Yes."
But it was morning, and the sun was so strong that it was hard to keep your eyes open.
In the long corridor, I was the only one walking slowly.
The heart of defense is indispensable, and the act of harming others has become a matter of course.
This is the palace, subverting all my knowledge and beliefs.
Kindness is buried in a place where the sun will never shine. It is a stupid and ridiculous term here. No one will believe you, and no one will help you.
The emperor's face appeared in his mind, and he clenched his fists involuntarily.
There was disgust in my heart, towards the palace, towards this person.
Being deprived of his innocence, entering the palace and recognizing him, all I got from my anger and resentment was what he called "ignoring".
Squint your eyes and look at the blue sky and white clouds above your head. The long corridor draws a long blue sky. What you can see is the endless sky. There are many people sharing such a small sky, but I don’t have my share.
Wanting to leave here has never been so urgent since entering the palace. I really hope that I can leave the palace immediately and stay away from this place of right and wrong.
Several palace people came out from different round doors.
Gradually, the number of people on the corridor began to increase.
The weather was so hot that they all left in a hurry.
Just me, walking slowly, slowly.
"Kneel—" A shrill voice came from afar.
To my surprise, it was the emperor's chariot.
Without thinking, I quickened my pace, turned around and entered the round door.
It was just a few steps, but it seemed to be walking for a long time, and I was panting badly.
Hiding in the door opening, I watched the bright yellow chariot leave with hatred. If my eyes were arrows, I would have shot the chariot riddled with holes.
"What are you doing?" Tang Yu's voice sounded from behind.
Startled by him, I quickly shook my head, "It's nothing."
After walking a few steps, I saw that he was still standing there, looking at me coldly.
"What's the matter?" I asked, never seeing him look at me like this, and I couldn't help but feel uneasy.
"The queen will not let you go, but she doesn't dare to do anything to you now. In order to make you loyal to her, even if you are not loyal, it is good as long as you keep her secret, so she ordered me to arrange for your parents. In fact, it's imprisonment." His voice was very soft, but it made my heart pound, and my face turned pale little by little.
"When I arrived at the Su family, I found that the daughter of the Su family had already run away with someone." Tang Yu looked at me coldly, "Who are you?"
"I, I... I'm Su En." The palms were covered in cold sweat.
This secret, even I myself have almost forgotten that it was an imposter entering the palace.
Now that Tang Yu said this, I didn't even have an excuse except to stand uncomfortably.
Under his cold and deep gaze, he couldn't even say a word.
He sighed.
"Tang Yu, I, I... My real name is Su En."
"The important thing is not here. I am not the only person sent by the queen. I am afraid that I already know that you are an impostor."
I was stunned, there were enough things, bad enough, why did I get involved in this one?
"What's going on?" Tang Yu asked, seeing that I hesitated, and said, "You don't want to tell me, or do you not believe me?"
"Of course I believe you, but will you believe me when I tell you?" Believe me, entering the palace under a false name is simply to find a job.
He looked at me with a slight change in his cold gaze, "We have worshiped each other before, hold your hand, and grow old together."
"That's fake." I blurted out.
"I took it for real."
There was a moment of trance, because of the seriousness and tenderness in Tang Yu's eyes, and the sadness in his eyes when I said this sentence.
I don't know why, I just feel the sadness in his eyes is so dazzling, so dazzling that it hurts my heart.
Without any hesitation, I touched his eyebrows with both hands, and gently comforted him on both sides.
Aware of his inappropriate actions, his body froze in place.
What am I doing?What is this doing?
A smile crept into his eyes, and gradually, the corners of his mouth curled up.
At this moment, I suddenly felt that the scorching sun above my head was not so scorching, only the smile in front of me was dazzling.
When he is cold, he is as stiff as ice, and when he laughs, he is as bright as the sun.
At this moment, I felt that the actions just now were not abrupt, and there was even a voice saying that the next time I saw the sadness in his eyes, I wanted to use my own hands to soothe him.
Strangely, in such a mood, when I told the reason why I entered the palace under a false name, I said it very naturally and at ease, as if I should say this to him.
After finishing speaking, I looked at him uneasily and asked, "What should I do?"
"Answer truthfully, don't worry, the queen will not do anything big to you now."
I nodded.
"Enen, Mr. Jing said he wanted to marry you. I don't think what he said is a joke. Will you agree?"
What Jing Lin said that day and his sincere face flashed in my mind.
Will you agree?
No, definitely not.
How could he want to lose my innocence?
I thought so, but for some reason I couldn't give an affirmative answer, I just said: "I'm afraid the queen is looking for me, I'll go first."
Without looking at Tang Yu, I left in a hurry.
He must be very disappointed.
After leaving the round door, I still felt that someone was looking at me all the time, alone, on my back.
Back to the queen's palace, but did not see the queen.
"Aunt Lian came just now, and she said something to the empress, and the empress went out." After the maid finished speaking, she walked away.
I let out a sigh of relief.At least at this moment, I'm not ready to meet the queen.
It wasn't until the sunset that the queen returned to the palace with the support of Aunt Lian.
"Your maidservant has seen your empress." I hurriedly ordered the palace servants to fetch water, twisted a sweat towel for the queen, and made tea.
When drinking tea, the queen's beautiful apricot eyes would glance at me from time to time, and even Aunt Lian who was beside me would look at me from time to time.
"My palace needs to take a bath, go down and get ready." The queen said, her voice was not as sharp as before, but a little gentler.
"Yes." My heart was even more disturbed, why didn't the queen ask me about entering the palace under a false name?
It was late at night after serving the queen to take a bath, because the queen fell asleep in the bath and looked very tired.
I had no choice but to accompany her and waited for her to wake up before helping her back to the inner hall to rest.
For several hours, the queen didn't say a word, but her serious eyes would always glance at me from time to time.
The palace maid was already changing the candles, I took a new candle from her and said: "Let me come, lighten up when I go out, Your Majesty seems to be exhausted today."
The palace servant nodded, "Your Majesty is very interested today. After admiring the flowers in the imperial garden for a day, I went to the tribute room to see the uncultivated potted flowers from the Western Regions."
"is it?"
The maid secretly smiled and said happily: "The palace people are very happy. When they came back from the imperial garden, Aunt Lian fell and heard that her foot was swollen a lot. She even went to the imperial hospital to get medicine."
"Did Aunt Lian go to the Imperial Hospital to get the medicine herself?"
"Yes."
"Doesn't the imperial pharmacy have medicines for general bruises? Why did Aunt Lian go to the Imperial Hospital?" Palace people are not allowed to leave the harem without authorization. For general ailments, the imperial doctor prepares medicines and prepares them in the imperial dining room. The palace people go directly to get it.
The imperial hospital is where the imperial physician works, and palace people who are not seriously ill are not allowed to go there.
"Maybe it was a bad fall, the common medicine in the imperial dining room didn't work." The maid yawned.
"Go to sleep now."
"Yes, sister Enen, go to bed early too." The maid said and left the hall.
The more I thought about it, the more weird it became, but I couldn't think of anything weird.
Just when I shortened the candlestick, the maid who had just left ran in in a panic, "Sister Enen, the emperor is here."
Just as he was speaking, Ming Huang's figure entered the hall.
I don't even have time to prepare.
"My maidservant has seen the emperor." The maid hurriedly knelt down, saw that I was in a daze, and pulled off my sleeve.
"Emperor, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is asleep." The maid hesitated, with a nervous expression on her face. After all, the emperor did not say that he would come to the empress today, and the palace people were not prepared.
"Really? Then don't wake up the queen, I just sit down and go, go down."
The court lady exited the hall politely.
There was silence, a suffocating silence.
I could feel his eyes on me.
I stood indifferently, in the same space as him, with great repulsion in my heart, but there was nothing I could do.
Suddenly, bright yellow shoes appeared under my eyes.
Surprised, he looked up, and his eyes met in the air.
He frowned and looked at me with complicated eyes.
I took a step back in amazement, I bowed my head and said, "The emperor sit down, and the servants will make tea for the emperor."
"Look at me." He bullied me.
Biting my lower lip, I backed away again.
"Don't make me repeat the same thing, just look at me." The cool sentence, with the unique domineering aura of the Supreme, is irresistible.
I looked up, and the hatred in my eyes was directly reflected in his dark eyes.
He darkened his face, as if he couldn't believe it, "Do you really hate me so much?"
My nails dug into my palm, but I didn't feel any pain because I was too shocked.
I really thought I heard it wrong.
Or the person in front of him is not the emperor at all.
The emperor, who is familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics and understands propriety, righteousness and shame, would ask such a ridiculous sentence?
Does he think I shouldn't hate him?
"How many women are waiting for my favor, and some women have waited for a lifetime without even seeing me." He stood quietly, his serious eyes locked on me, puzzled.
What can I say to such a person.
When a person who raped you asks you why you hate him so much with bewildered eyes, what expression should he have besides feeling ridiculous and sad?
Is such a shameful man really the emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty?
"Speak." There was anger in the cool voice.
"It's late at night, if the emperor wants to rest here, the servants will go to prepare." Suppressing my anger, I said in a stiff voice.
"Aren't you so indifferent to my favour?" His sudden bullying made me subconsciously take three steps back, covering my extremely uncomfortable chest, and my face turned pale.
He narrowed his eyes, stared at me deeply, and bullied me again.
As I retreated, my stomach became more and more uncomfortable, and my face became paler and paler, until there was no way I could retreat, and he pushed me into a corner.
I couldn't bear the pain in my chest anymore, I pushed him away, looked at him with disgust, and blurted out, "Don't come close to me, you make me feel sick."
"What?" He pursed his lips tightly, his eyes filled with anger, disbelief, frustration, and even a trace of killing intent.
Straightening out my chest, I looked at him resentfully, but my heart trembled because of the killing intent in his eyes.
I know this offended him, but I don't regret it.
This is how I really feel right now.
"You, you will be my respect... I am talking to you here," he didn't say any more, just stared at me, his gaze became colder and colder until it was ice-cold.
I couldn't help shivering. I always thought that Tang Yu's eyes were called cold, but now I know that real cold can make people frightened. The fear emanating from my bones makes me want to kneel down and beg for mercy.
But it forced me to stand upright, I stood up straighter, and the gaze entangled with him became more firm.
"Very well, Su En, I hate people like you too." He gave me a gloomy look, then shook his sleeves and left.
bang——
The wooden door was slowly opened and then closed heavily.
The candle flame flickered.
My whole body seemed to be falling apart, and I fell to the ground, gasping for breath.
For a moment, I thought he was going to kill me.
For two consecutive days, it rained continuously.
The hot weather cooled down instantly.
The weather was too different, causing mildew in some corners of the palace, and the palace people began to be busy.
In the past two days, although the queen has treated me badly, she didn't let me do any more rough work, such as washing feet and doing laundry, all returned to their original places.
Just as I was instructing the palace people to add charcoal to the moldy place, I heard a bang in the inner hall, the sound of the vase being thrown to the ground.
The palace people looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling uneasy in their hearts.
I hurried into the inner hall, and saw the ground shattered.
Aunt Lian, who was inside, waved to me to let me back down.
I hurriedly bowed, and when I stepped back, I saw a piece of paper on the table. Although the center of the paper was pressed by the queen's slender hand, I could vaguely see a flower drawn on the paper, a very familiar flower.
Hey, isn't this the potted flower in Tai's womb?The reason why it can be recognized at a glance is that its petals are eight petals, which is a very rare number of petals.
Why is there a charming painting in the queen's hand?
When closing the door, I vaguely heard the queen curse, "Damn Concubine Liu."
It is already the fifth day.
Looking at the kelp stew in his hand, as long as the prince eats it for another five days, the poison of the happy powder will be cured.
"Miss Enen, are you here?" The old maid from Taiwomen opened the door and said with a smile.
"Yes, is the prince up?"
"Wake up early."
"Is the little red spot on the prince better?"
The old maid narrowed her eyes with a smile, "It's much better, and the prince is in a very good mood these two days."
I nodded and walked towards the bedroom.
As soon as I entered the inner hall, I saw the prince coming out fully dressed. When he saw the pot in my hand, he immediately frowned, his face was full of disgust, and he looked like he was about to vomit.
I laughed and said, "It's the fifth day, as long as His Highness persists for another five days."
It's strange, since the first day I threatened him with smashing flowers to drink the seaweed stew, in the past five days, when I appeared here with the seaweed stew, he ate it without saying a word, and ate it from time to time He looked at me with great confusion in his eyes.
"It's over." With a bang, the copper pot was placed heavily on the table, and the prince had a bitter expression on his face, as if he had eaten bitter herbs.
"Is it so unpalatable when the servant girl burns it?" I wondered.
"You go and try the same thing for three or four months, it's no wonder you don't vomit." The prince gritted his teeth.
"Your Highness, you've only been eating for five days, how could it be three or four months?"
The prince snorted heavily and was about to leave the palace.
"Your Highness, where are you going?"
"I want to return my charm after looking for my mother."
"Your Majesty hasn't gotten up yet." I looked at the table, where another precious bonsai had been replaced.Two days ago, the empress suddenly ordered someone to take Charm away, saying that she wanted to appreciate it, but she never sent it back after taking it away. The prince sent people to remind her from time to time, but the empress always refused to send it back with the excuse that she hadn't finished appreciating it. .
Seeing that the prince had already left the palace, I hurried to catch up.
The drizzle was falling, and the entire palace was shrouded in haze.
The prince ran too fast, and I couldn't catch up. I walked too fast, and the rain splashed all over me, so I had to walk slowly towards a slightly dry place.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, so I had no choice but to run into a nearby pavilion first.
I dropped my umbrella and sat in the pavilion, looking at the gray sky.
When he didn't want to look away, under the rain curtain like a string curtain, it was him, Jing Lin, in fluttering white clothes, as warm as jade.
"My lord, it's raining too much. You go into the pavilion to hide from the rain. The servant will call the sedan chair over immediately." The accompanying palace man said, leading him into the pavilion.
Shaking the wet hem of his clothes, the palace man quickly ran into the rain again to call for a sedan chair.
"Your servant has met you." I saluted, but my mouth was full of bitterness.
Eight days have passed since that day, and he has not heard back.
It was as expected, and it should have been.
But I still feel lost.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, but I don't want to stay in the pavilion anymore.
Being alone with him is torture.
When I was about to leave the pavilion, a hand blocked my face, and his gentle voice sounded in my ear, "I was shocked when I heard it, and when I recovered, you had already left."
I smiled palely, saluted briefly, and left.
"Enn, I don't mind, what I admire is your people."
Looking at him, his eyes are extremely sincere, a kind of sincerity that makes people trust.
But it felt so unreal to me.
Does he really not mind?
"I should have looked for you a long time ago. It's just that there are remnants of the former dynasty committing crimes in the city during this period of time. I have been busy here and have no time to enter the palace. If the emperor didn't summon me today, I'm afraid I'm still cleaning up the remnants of the former dynasty."
"You really don't mind?" I still can't believe what I heard.
"I care, but I don't mind. I care about the hurt you suffered, and I feel sad when I think of your fear and helplessness at that time." His voice was extremely calm, not just casually, but from the bottom of his heart .
My eye sockets gradually became moist, the unexpected answer, I never thought that he would think like this, be so tolerant.
"Enen, you are a good girl, you deserve to be cherished." The gentle eyes radiated with sincerity, Jing Lin smiled slightly, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you this at the first time, it has made you uneasy these days. "
I nodded and shook my head again.
A lot of things have happened these days, and they are all things that cannot be explained clearly.
I am very happy now, I feel that the burden in my heart has been let go, and my whole body is relaxed.
"What's your answer?"
"what?"
"I want to marry you, are you willing to be my Mrs. Shangshu?" He looked at me with a smile, his eyes full of tenderness.
At this moment, I hesitated, what Tang Yu said that day and his serious expression suddenly flashed in my mind.
"We have worshiped the church, hold the hand of the son, and grow old together with the son."
Why do you think of Tang Yu at this moment?
My heart suddenly became chaotic.
As soon as my nose got cold, I saw Jing Lin tapped my nose with some rainwater, and said with a smile, "Why are you in a daze."
"No."
"Do you think I'm unreliable?"
"No."
"I can't forget her. In the past years, I have her in every memory. But I like you, your temperament, your behavior, I appreciate them all, and I believe that as time goes by , I will fall in love with you in the end." He said.
When I was a child, my parents always liked to joke that our En En must marry an honest man who can take responsibility when he grows up. For a person, quality is the most important, and honesty is the most precious quality.
"Mother, En En will marry a handsome man when she grows up." I remember what I said at the time.
My father and mother smiled, and hugged me lovingly, and my father said: "If Enen wants to marry a beautiful man, he must have the ability to control his husband, otherwise the beautiful man will be snatched away by others, but our little Enen Hey, he is a kind and honest child, so it would be nice to find someone who is simple, down-to-earth, and able to take on the heavy burden of farm work."
"No, Enen is going to marry a handsome man."
"Okay, okay, then marry a handsome man." Listening to my childish voice, my parents couldn't breathe from laughing.
The education of my parents has always influenced me. When I grow up, no matter how ugly a person is, as long as he talks to me sincerely, he will always gain my favor.
I like Jing Lin, I liked him the first time I saw him, and now, he is speaking to me so frankly and sincerely, he doesn't dislike me for being imperfect.
Why can't I agree?
However, I don't know why, but I just can't nod my head, and I just can't say that good word.
"My lord, the sedan chair is here." Amidst the pattering rain, the father-in-law's voice came.
Not far away, the father-in-law led the bearers and galloped over, and soon arrived outside the pavilion.
"It's a matter of life's happiness, think about it carefully." He touched the rain on his fingertips, then tapped the tip of my nose lightly, and said with a smile, "If you have confidence in yourself, please also have confidence in me, I'll wait for you answer."
Watching him leave, my heart was very chaotic, but I couldn't find the root of the chaos.
After sitting for a long time, the rain finally subsided. You can see the gray sky above your head, and you can tell that there will be more rain in the future.
After leaving the pavilion, I hurried back to the palace.
Unexpectedly, when she walked up the palace corridor, she collided with someone, and the clothes in her hand fell all over the floor.
"I'm sorry." He hurriedly picked up the fallen clothes, and saw that these clothes were all small clothes, and only Concubine An was the only one in the whole palace with children.
"You don't have long eyes when you walk?" A cold shout came from above, "How do you walk..."
When I looked up, her cursing stopped abruptly.
"Who am I? It turns out to be Su En, the queen's personal maid." Xiao Ling's voice was very strong, and she was extremely provocative, "No wonder, you came to hit me on purpose, right?"
Snatching the clothes from my hand, Xiaoling gave me a blank look.
"Why did I hit you?" I asked back.
"Who would know what an insidious villain like you thinks, what kind of master there is, there will be what kind of slave." Xiao Ling left after finishing speaking.
I closed my eyes and stretched out my feet.
"Ouch, it hurts—" Xiaoling threw herself forward and fell to the ground, her breasts were covered with children's clothes, so she didn't feel pain from the fall.
"You—" Xiaoling got up quickly and glared at me angrily.
I looked at her deeply, and said: "I will stab someone in the back, and I will fight back if you try to play tricks on me again."
"I do not understand what you are saying."
"Can pretending that nothing happened afterward can erase the harm?"
"What harm? Don't talk nonsense." Xiaoling looked around in a panic, picked up the little clothes that fell on the floor, and stared at me, "Don't think that you can spitting blood just because you are a celebrity in front of the queen, don't forget Ann The imperial concubine also gave birth to the second prince."
Watching Xiaoling leave triumphantly, I sighed.
Concubine An gave birth to the second prince, and her status has undoubtedly risen to another level. Apart from the empress, she is the most favored.
From Xiao Ling's proud expression when she left, it can be seen how much attention Concubine An is now.
But is it really a happy event?
Just entered the Queen's Palace.
I saw Xiaoru coming over with a cup of tea with a smile on her face. When she saw me, she immediately pulled down her face.
These days, Xiao Ru comes to the Queen's Palace from time to time to flatter the Queen.
Seeing me looking at her, Xiao Ru curled her lips, "Don't worry, it's just tea."
I didn't say anything, and went straight into the hall.
"Queen, how could you do that?" The prince's dissatisfied voice came from the inner hall.
"I told you, but I accidentally broke Charm, so I had to ask the palace servants to throw it away." The queen said helplessly.
"Your Highness," Aunt Lian's voice sounded, "Your Majesty likes that flower so much that you can't help but touch it lightly. Who knows that flower is so untouched, so don't blame your Majesty."
As soon as Aunt Lian finished speaking, she saw the prince angrily running out of the inner hall.
"Your Highness." Xiaoru shouted happily, "This is your favorite blueberry tea."
The prince didn't even look at Xiao Ru, and when he ran past her, he raised his hand and overturned the teacup, and left in a hurry.
Xiaoru was stunned in place, her eyes were filled with disbelief, grievance and tears.
In the middle of the night, the queen called me over suddenly, staring at me sharply.
I was worried, not knowing why the queen called me.
"Su En, do you know that Ben Gong wants to kill you." Finally, the Queen spoke.
"The servant knows."
"But killing you at this time will only add trouble to me, so I want to threaten your loyalty to me with the lives of your parents."
My heart sank a little bit, and the queen really knew that I was not that Su En, but a person pretending to enter the palace.
"I really didn't expect that you, Su En, are not the real Su En." The queen sneered, "I am amazed that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is so negligent, and I don't even know that such a big person has been transferred, but there is no doubt that as long as the internal affairs After the government said this, I won’t bother me to kill you myself.”
"The slave is..."
"You don't need to explain to me." The queen approached me and looked at me deeply, "I just don't understand. You know that I am going to kill you, so why did you save the prince?"
Looking up, I was momentarily puzzled by what the queen said.
"Kelp stew, if you just feed the crown prince one meal, I won't doubt that you know about the happy powder. You have let the crown prince eat it for five days in a row, and the crown prince said that it will take ten days to make it clear. You know that the crown prince has been poisoned by the happy powder, and this kelp stew is the antidote."
"The queen also knows about happy fans?" I was shocked for a moment, even overshadowing the fact that the queen knew that I was pretending to enter the palace.
How could the Queen know about Happy Fan?
"As long as it's about the prince's affairs, Ben Gong is naturally careful. Since the day I conceived him, I have blocked all the ups and downs for him. As long as he doesn't ascend the throne, my mother can't worry about it for a day. .” There was a murderous look on the queen’s face.
"Why? Since the empress knows that Xiao Ru puts happy powder in the tea, why does she let the prince drink it?"
The queen smiled coldly, "As soon as the crown prince drinks the tea, Aunt Lian will serve seaweed to detoxify after a while."
I don't understand, knowing that Xiao Ru is poisoning the crown prince, why didn't he just arrest Xiao Ru?
Seeing the confusion in my eyes, the queen sat down, tapped the teacup on the table with one hand, and said calmly: "Xiao Ru is a puppet trained by this palace. Her existence is to train Xu Er to be on guard. Xin, she is selfish, loves vanity, and will use any means to achieve her goals. I also believe that in the future, others will repeat these methods on Xu'er, and by then, the grown-up prince will be able to handle it with ease."
There was a moment of sluggishness in my mind, and I just felt that I had heard an extremely ridiculous thing.
A puppet trained by one hand?Just to train the prince's defense?
Can't believe it's true.
Such absurdity.
People, what is in her eyes?
She said so indifferently.
I can't describe my mood at the moment, and I can't express my current thoughts in words.
I just feel that my whole body is sweating in the hot weather in September, and I feel the coldness in my heart.
"For the sake of protecting the crown prince, I will spare your life, and I will not pursue the matter of you pretending to enter the palace." The queen raised her eyebrows, her eyes narrowed like blades, "I believe you are I won't betray Bengong, after all, betraying Bengong means betraying Jinglin, isn't it?"
I didn't answer, the Queen's words were still in my mind.
"Go down." The queen looked at me coldly.
I don't know how I got back to the small side room, I just sat there blankly.
It's time to get used to it, this is the palace.
But I don't know why, my heart is so cold.
Are all people being used unknowingly?
And me?
Could it be that in the dark, there is such a person dealing with me like the Queen did to Xiaoru?
Tomorrow time.
The palace man broke into the small side room suddenly, and couldn't help saying that he dragged me away.
In the outer hall, a group of palace people were kneeling.
When I saw Ming Huang's figure, I was very surprised. Why did the emperor come so early?
Beside him, the queen was sitting with a sullen face, and the one sitting on her right was Concubine An.
Concubine An's eyes were red and swollen, she had obviously cried, and Xiao Ling stood beside her to comfort her.
What happened?
What is Concubine An doing in the Queen's Palace so early?
I was pressed down to kneel on the ground by the palace guards.
The atmosphere in the palace was very heavy, and every palace official did not dare to take a breath, as if a storm was about to come.
All eyes were on me.
"I have seen the emperor, the empress, and the concubine An. Why did you call Su Enlai?" I asked uneasily.
The queen took a look at Concubine An and looked at me deeply, "Last night, the Second Prince was crying and fussing, and he couldn't sleep no matter how much he coaxed him. When Concubine An checked the Second Prince's body, she found that there were three thin needles in the Second Prince's clothes. The second prince's delicate back was also scratched, and his clothes were covered in blood."
