refuse to be a concubine
Chapter 30 The emperor, like a person
Chapter 30 The emperor, like a person
"I'm just a little noble concubine, how can the empress listen to me? Besides, the erotic pictures..."
As soon as the picture of the erotic palace was mentioned, the prince blushed even more, and growled: "It's none of San'er's business, it was picked up by the prince. San'er accidentally knocked down the picture that day, and the little girl who happened to come in If you see it, that's all."
I was stunned, that day?Could it be that the day before yesterday when San'er ran back to Liuyi Hall blushing?
However, picked up a erotic picture?Who would believe it.
I'm afraid that this "picking" was deliberately released by someone.
"You do not believe?"
"I believe it." How could a person with high self-esteem and arrogance degrade his identity to see these obscene things.
The prince heaved a sigh of relief and patted me on the shoulder, "Friend."
I said helplessly, "Prince, men and women are different."
"Outside, I must keep my identity." After speaking, the prince looked bitter, "What do you think should be done?"
"I don't know." San'er, should I save her?Could she be another aunt without makeup?
Zhao Yuefu's words were just speculation, I frowned.
"You are her master, so it's only logical that you want to return your maidservant." The prince said anxiously.
"Your Highness, why don't you take all this on yourself, so that everything will be settled."
"No." The prince denied it straight away, and his slightly mature handsome face was replaced by sophistication and deepness, "I am the prince, even if this is false, it will make my father angry."
"Anger is temporary, once the truth is found out..."
Before I could finish speaking, the prince said impatiently: "You don't understand, after Concubine An gave birth to her second brother, the emperor's attention to me has obviously decreased. If I take on these things, the position of the prince will be unstable."
"Your Highness, the second prince is still so young, you should worry too much."
"So what? No matter how young you are, you are still a prince, the son of your father, and one day you will compete with me for the crown prince."
In other words, in order to preserve the reputation and position of the prince, he would never undertake all of this.
I was a little stunned, and even more disappointed. Is this what he likes about San'er?
Is this the prince I know?
Still, it was another mistake I made, people in the palace, even a child, can't just look at his surface.
And I always use my first feeling to get to know each other.
Or, the prince became too fast, too fast for people to notice.
Facing my gaze, the prince said arrogantly: "No matter what, you must rescue San'er, I'll go first." After speaking, he walked away.
I stared at a winter jasmine that had already withered its flowers in the courtyard, and felt that the air around me was full of bitterness.
I didn't go to Concubine Liu's Palace, but changed into a court lady's attire, and came outside the Nian Fei Palace. At this time, it's time to go down.
I'm still not cruel enough.At the same time, I don't want to condemn others with suspicion.
But it was not my conscience that made me make this decision, but the bitterness that the crown prince brought to me.
Forget it, let yourself be kind again.
From a distance, he saw Jing Lin coming out of the Orfei Hall, his robe fluttering, and the jade tree facing the wind.
"My lord." I stepped forward and called him.
Seeing it was me, Jing Lin was a little surprised, especially when he saw me wearing a court lady's attire, his bright eyes flashed softly, "Why are you here?"
The ministers walked past us one after another, but seeing that I was only a maid of honor, they didn't pay much attention, after all, there are many court ladies looking for Lord Shangshu.
It's just that they all have ambiguous expressions, obviously mistaking me for a court lady who admires Jing Lin.
"My lord, do you know Yanlongxiang?"
"I know, it's a kind of poisonous incense."
I nodded, "Can you bring me a Yanlong incense?"
I got straight to the point, but I was still nervous. Even though we were friends, I was still not sure if Jing Lin would help me. After all, Yanlong incense is not an ordinary incense.
He was slightly surprised, "What do you want it for?"
"I just want to make sure whether I have been poisoned by Yan Longxiang."
"What? Someone wants to kill you?"
"Just doubt."
Jing Lin looked worried, and nodded without any hesitation, "I'll bring it to you tomorrow."
I was a little surprised by his straightforwardness, but I still couldn't help but be delighted, "Thank you, my lord, my servant has a heartfelt request."
"Go ahead."
"Please don't tell Madam about this." Zhao Yuefu must also guard against her.
Without even thinking about it, he nodded directly, "Okay."
"The servant will leave first."
When turning around, Jing Lin suddenly said: "Enen, if you need help, just call me."
Looking back, I saw Jing Lin's gentle smile.
I have seen this smile before, but the person he was looking at was the Queen.
I think I read it wrong.
Unexpectedly, after leaving a few steps, Jing Lin's gentle voice came, "I have seen the emperor."
I couldn't go any further, and I didn't know what to do for a moment.
I had no choice but to bite the bullet and turn around quickly, kneeling on the ground together with the surrounding palace people.
His cold voice came from next to his ear, "You can handle those things yourself."
"I know in my heart that I will definitely live up to the emperor's grace." Jing Lin was calm and composed, not nervous because I was kneeling just a few steps away, "It's just the emperor, I'm afraid that many people will be implicated by doing so."
"I have prepared for the worst. If we do not break the boat, this cycle will eventually lead to the demise of the dynasty."
The sound got closer and closer, and finally the bright yellow palace satin embroidered dragon boots stopped in front of me.
I felt a chill on my back.
At this time, Jing Lin covered my eyes and said with a smile: "What the emperor said is that everything will go according to plan."
Just as he was talking, Eunuch Fu hurried over and knelt down in panic, "Your Majesty, Concubine Liu fainted in the Imperial Garden."
"What's going on?" The cool voice didn't change after hearing the news.
"The palace man who came to report said that Concubine Liu fainted suddenly, and this old slave has sent someone to call the imperial physician."
"The emperor should go and have a look." Jing Lin said.
Soon, the pair of bright yellow palace satin embroidered dragon boots left my sight.
I let out a sigh of relief.
"Are you scared?" Nazhi Jinglin squatted in front of me at this moment, looking at me with a smile.
But I was no longer moved, I just said eagerly: "I'm scared, I should go." I'm really afraid that the man will come back again.
"Remember what I said, you must come to me if you have anything to do." His eyes were extremely serious, "Trust me, I will never let you down again."
I smiled slightly, "OK."
I believe him, if I don't believe it, I won't look for him.
Just didn't trust him completely, that trust was gone when he hurt me, and will never come back.
After walking away, Jing Lin faced my figure and murmured in pain: "You still don't trust me, if you really trust me completely, you won't answer so quickly."
When I returned to Liuyi Hall, just after I changed my clothes, Aunt Lian appeared in front of me, pointed to the three maids she had brought, and said, "Your concubine, the queen knows that you have no one around, so I give you a special gift." sent by three maids."
"Thank you, Ma'am, for the reward." I saluted.
Aunt Lian was about to leave, I called her, "Auntie, how is San'er?"
"You can't protect yourself, so you still care about a palace man?"
"what?"
Aunt Lian stared at me for a long while, then suddenly said: "Go and see Su Yan, even if she did something wrong to you, there is no other way."
I remained silent, seeing that she was about to leave, I hurriedly said: "Aunt Lian, San'er was wronged."
"So what?"
I stayed for a while.
"Let's do it for ourselves." After finishing speaking, Aunt Lian left the hall.
What is so what?Aunt Lian's words... Could it be that she also knew that San'er was wronged, since she knew why San'er was arrested?
After all, to them, San'er was just an ordinary palace man who would not attract attention.
Also, why did Aunt Lian say that I couldn't protect myself?
Seeing that the three maids brought by Aunt Lian were standing beside me politely, but they kept looking at me secretly, I said: "You just need to be responsible for everything outside the palace, and you don't need to do things in the palace. go down."
It's a reward, maybe it's the queen's eyeliner.
It was late at night, and the man didn't come.
I breathed a sigh of relief, Concubine Liu fainted, he must be in Concubine Liu Palace.
But why did Concubine Liu faint?
It's none of my business.
The only thing I can do is to wait for tomorrow, as long as I get Yanlong incense, everything will be revealed.
As for Aunt Suyan, I was struggling endlessly.
In the end, I sighed, that's all, go see her.
I can't be cruel again.
Always tell yourself to change, change, where is the change?
wry smile.
I'm so tired, my mind hasn't stopped all day.
I really wonder if there will be a few more gray hairs on my head when I wake up tomorrow.
Empress, Concubine Liu, and Concubine An, why do they never get tired of such hardships?
I went to bed, but I couldn't fall asleep, and the things that happened gathered in my mind again.
I don't know when, I fell asleep unknowingly.
I didn't sleep well, until my body was surrounded by a warm embrace, I didn't feel at ease.
He moved his body, found the most comfortable sleeping position, and fell asleep deeply.
This sleep was extremely peaceful, but in the end, the nose was extremely itchy, as if something had been touched.
Rubbing his nose, the thing was gone.
After a while, my nose started to itch again. After doing this three or four times in a row, I was forced to open my eyes.
In a daze, I saw a pair of smiling eyes, even though the smile was thin, icy, and cool, but even so, it was very gentle and touching.
Seeing me open my eyes, those eyes flickered, and I stretched out my hand like a naughty child to pinch my nose tightly, making me unable to breathe, and I was forced to open my mouth to inhale.
Hearing his low and soft laughter was extremely nice.
At the same time, I also woke up and exclaimed: "Your Majesty."
I thought it was a dream, but I couldn't believe it was him playing tricks on me.
I stared at him for a moment, completely dumbfounded.
"I'm charming, right?" He winked at me, making no secret of his confidence and admiration for himself.
charming?Right, no matter what time it is, he is a bright spot, attracting people's involuntary surrender.
"I allow you to look at me obsessively for the rest of your life." The smiles in the eyes overflowed, and the cold feeling was replaced by mischievousness.
I found it strange that he was happy.
Looking at him obsessively?me?My eyes became confused.
"Don't be confused, you can only look at me like you did just now." He raised his eyebrows and commanded domineeringly, and suddenly, he smiled again, his extremely handsome face instantly captivating, "It's time to wake up, I'll take you to a place. "
But I didn't know that I was even more stupid, and I was dumbfounded under his smile.
He helped me up, dressed me, put on my shoes, put on my coat, tied my belt, and let my hair hang freely on my back instead of binding it.
Seeing my silly appearance, he shook his head and said helplessly, "I'm bothered by being too good-looking."
As soon as the words fell, he picked me up, didn't go through the door of the palace, but opened the window, and jumped onto the roof.
Only then did I realize that the sky was already slightly bright, and the sun was about to come out soon.
He hugged me and fell up and down on the top of the temple.
The morning breeze is cool, passing through the clothes, and the sleeves of the two people's clothes are dancing.
Nestling in his arms, I can't feel the coolness of the morning breeze, only warmth.
I was dumbfounded, but not confused.
I just don't believe, I don't believe that the man holding me will be the emperor I know.
I can't believe he can be so naughty.
Believe it or not, he will also play tricks on people.
I don't believe he actually dressed me.
Even more unbelievable, he would say something like "It's too good-looking to annoy me", it's so, so... In short, it shouldn't be said by a person of his stature.
An hour later, he took me to a place that was completely unfamiliar to me. Looking around, there were huge boulders everywhere.
In the distance, there are many buildings in the palace, and the palace has become a point.
We stood at the highest point of the boulder, an extremely smooth place, and looking down quietly, it was about a hundred feet high, which can be called a small hill.
He took me to sit down, hugged me tightly naturally, pointed to the east with one hand and said: "Don't say anything, don't think about anything, let alone blink, just watch."
I looked over as I said, and my eyes suddenly widened.
On the east side, the clouds are gradually dyed by layers of golden light, like blooming begonias or peonies blooming in an instant. The ever-changing clouds, with the gradual dew of the golden light, transform into scenes of different colors and shapes. From shallow to deep, from deep to gradually faded, from one point to one side, and then dyed half the sky.
The sun sticks out its head, and the golden light is golden in an instant, not dazzling, and the whole world is embraced into its warm embrace.
Sunrise is an ordinary thing in life, never noticed, let alone appreciated.
I didn't expect it to be so beautiful.
At this moment, my heart was surging and could not be calmed down for a long time.
"Does it look good?" His breath was in his ear.
I nodded.
"That's why I brought you out early in the morning, to enjoy the sunrise."
He looked at me with a smile, and the golden sunlight shone slightly on his extremely handsome face. He was too handsome to look directly at.
My heart became tense for no reason, just because of the naked affection in his eyes.
With a soft chuckle, his joking voice sounded above his head, "I want you here."
"Wh, what?" I lost my voice in shock.
"I'm kidding you." Qingyue's laughter resounded through the entire stone forest, so cheerful and pleasant.
Is this man in front of me really the emperor I know?
Noble, proud, unchanged, his eyebrows, eyes, nose and lips are all familiar.
But it feels different?
Seeing me staring at him in a daze, he let out a faint sigh, wrapped his fingers around me, and kissed me.
After a lingering kiss, his lips slid to his ears, and he said softly: "Enen, for you, I have struggled, got angry, and been hurt, and you don't know all of this, and I let you go out of the palace, but When you suddenly stood in front of me, I still couldn't help wanting you. Now, I love you, as long as I live, I will love you for a day, don't break my heart anymore, all I want is you Sincerely, you don’t need to respond now, as long as you know that I treat you sincerely.”
After speaking, he hugged me gently.
The breeze blows, blows into the bottom of my heart, rippling the slightest ripples.
At this moment, there seemed to be something tapping in my heart, and I couldn't calm down for a long time.
I don't know how long it took, until I was sure that my heart was no longer fluctuating, I asked softly: "Your Majesty, where are we?"
"200 years ago, the ancestors wanted to build the palace here. When all the stone materials were ready, a rare landslide occurred here, which was no longer suitable for building a palace, so it became what it is now."
"Then how do we go back to the palace?"
"It's already dawn, so naturally I can't perform lightness kung fu, so I have to walk back."
"Your Majesty, do you know the road on the ground?" I really didn't want to ask this question.
He looked at me deeply, pondered for a while, and said very seriously: "I don't know."
"Are Qing Yi and Bai Xuan following?"
"I want to take you to see the sunrise, how can I let them follow."
In other words, we got lost.
This stone forest is so big that even if you walk for a day, you will not be able to get out.
Alas, this man, doubt again, is it really that emperor?
The more we get along, the more I feel that he is not the emperor who is aloof and arrogant, who controls everything in his hands and looks down on everything in the world.
As soon as my feet landed on the ground, he took my hand. The temperature of the palm made me lose my mind for a moment.
"Let's go." He said in a low voice, with a smile on his face.
He walked very slowly, as if to cater to my footsteps, his steps were extremely small.
For 200 years, this place has been covered with weeds, indescribably desolate.
It had just rained a few days ago, the ground was bumpy, and my feet seemed to be walking on soft ground.
After a while, their shoes were wet and dirty.
"Tired?" he asked me, looking down.
"Not tired." It's just that I have only walked for an hour, and it's so slow. Even if my feet are inconvenient, I can still adapt to the rough work.
The waist suddenly tightened, and the next moment he hugged me and said with a smile: "I will carry you away."
"No, no need, I'm not tired." My body was extremely stiff, and I didn't get used to his gentleness for a while, and I didn't think it should be.
"From now on, when it's just me and you, call me by my name."
"I dare not."
"Don't dare or don't want to?"
"Your majesty, concubine..."
"I said, as long as I live, I will pamper you. You must accept it." It was supposed to be an extremely domineering sentence, but he actually said it in an extremely gentle way.
I stared at him blankly. In the past, when he was so strong and always spoke in an oppressive way, I was disgusted, repelled, and even disgusted.
Now, apart from being dumbfounded, I don't know how to treat him, and I'm even at a loss.
"You look at me like this, I want to kiss you again." His expression became helpless.
I blushed and turned my head quickly.
I heard him say on the top of his head: "Enen, I have never loved anyone, and I have never trusted others. Now, I have given you my sincerity and trust. You have to guard it and don't break it. .”
There was a smile in his soft voice, but I was so stressed that I couldn't help but refuse, "Your Majesty?"
"I don't want to hear your refusal. I am confident that you will fall in love with me, and you will love me to the core, without complaint or regret." It was like a very casual sentence, but unconsciously revealed It has the aura of a king who dominates the world, and a proud attitude.
At this moment, I can no longer say the word of rejection. Whenever he shows such a gesture, there is always an inexplicable awe in my heart.
"Your Majesty?" Bai Xuan's voice suddenly appeared above, and the next moment, he knelt down in front of him respectfully, "It's time to go to court early."
Bai Xuan?Didn't he follow?
"It's so fast." The emperor chuckled and looked down at me, "Next time I'll take you to watch the sunrise." As soon as the words fell, his body flew into the air and galloped towards the palace.
"Your Majesty, didn't you say that you can't perform lightness kung fu during the day?" I asked puzzledly, and at the same time held onto him tightly, not daring to move for fear of falling off.
"Call me by my name."
"I dare not."
"I allow you to call."
A gentle breeze blew my untied black hair into disorder, I closed my eyes tightly, and whispered: "Yan Qi."
There were bursts of muffled laughter from the firm and broad chest, which flowed directly into the heart through the eardrums.
He said: "From now on, when you and I are two, only my name is allowed."
An hour later.
In a remote corner of the palace, he put me down and said leisurely: "As long as I don't get discovered, I can still come back with light work, can't I?"
Yeah, why didn't I think of that?I don't need light work during the day, I just worry about being discovered, but as long as I don't get discovered, it's all right?
"I'm going to court, go back and have a good sleep." He raised his hand to straighten my messy hair, looked at me deeply for a moment, and strode away without looking back.
I stared blankly at his back, and after a while, I still felt his breath lingering around.
Just as I was about to turn around, I saw Bai Xuan staring at me coldly from three meters away.
Surprised, I couldn't help but take a step back and looked at him warily.
"Since the lord has recognized you, Baixuan will not attack your concubine again. I just ask your concubine to treat the lord kindly. In the past 20 years, this is the first time Baixuan has seen the lord sleep until dawn." He floated to me. One meter away, Qing Leng said.
"I do not understand what you are saying."
"My lord spends the night at the concubine's place, and will leave as soon as the second watch is over. Only at your place, I don't get up until dawn. This shows that my lord sleeps peacefully."
"what?"
"If you dare to harm the lord, Bai Xuan will kill you even if he risks his life." As soon as the words fell, he disappeared before his eyes.
I was left alone in amazement.
On the way back to Liuyi Hall, Bai Xuan's words would flash in his mind from time to time.
"In the past 20 years, Bai Xuan is the first time to see the lord sleep till dawn."
"My lord will stay overnight with the concubine, and I will leave as soon as the second watch is over."
"This shows that the lord sleeps peacefully."
What do these words mean?
Could it be that the man has been sleeping restlessly?
Indeed, when he was a maid in the Queen's bedroom, he always got up very early and left very quickly.
At that time, I couldn't figure out why, and once thought that I had offended him.
Entering the imperial garden from the secluded flower-shaded path, but when she was about to walk out of the Crescent Gate, she saw Xia Qingrou and Yang Qing'er picking flowers, talking and laughing.
Aren't the two of them always incompatible?Now they are as close as sisters.
Thinking that she had read it wrong, she blinked, and saw what Xia Qingrou said, which made Yang Qing'er bend over and laugh, and even wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hand when she laughed deeply.
I didn't have time to think about it, it was getting late, so I hurried out the door.
But when entering the gate of the Queen's Palace, he bumped into Xiaoru.
"Hey, isn't this your concubine? It's early in the morning, the clothes are so disheveled and covered with muddy water, where is it?" Xiaoru looked at me disdainfully.
If you don't pay attention, I will bypass her.
Unexpectedly, she took a step back and stood in front of me, showing even more disdain, "Your concubine hasn't answered the servant's words yet."
"none of your business."
"Why don't you care about the slaves? If the slaves report to the queen that the noble concubine has left the palace late at night, I don't know what to do..."
I cut off her words, and smiled instead: "You can tell the empress that I went to watch the sunrise with the emperor."
"impossible."
"If you don't believe me, you can confront the emperor."
Xiaoru was taken aback, and looked at me bitterly.
I also imitated her appearance, with disdain and contempt in my eyes, "Xiao Ru, remember your identity, I am the master, you are the servant." After finishing speaking, I left.
I don't think there is anything to be happy about taking advantage of words.
No matter how sharply you speak and how contemptuous you are, it is not the same as what you want.
But people in the world just eat it.
When I entered the palace, the palace people were shocked when they saw me like this.
"Your concubine, where did you go so early in the morning?"
"Yes, you have to tell the slaves when you go out, so that the slaves don't worry."
My face sank, "Are you here to monitor me? Do I need to report to you where I am going?"
The three palace servants looked at each other in blank dismay, hurriedly took a step back and stood aside, murmuring, not daring to ask any more questions.
"You guys go get ready, I want to take a bath." I said in a deep voice, they are all Queen's people, if they don't show stern expressions, I'm afraid they will be the next Xiaoru.
"Yes."
This time, I didn't pretend to be a court lady to go to the Nian Fei Palace, but pretended to take a walk and came to the Imperial Garden. At this time, Xia Qingrou and Yang Qing'er were nowhere to be seen.
After half an hour, Jing Lin appeared in the imperial garden.
After exchanging salutes, they passed each other, pretending to be stumbling, and took advantage of the time when he was helping me, and got the Yanlong incense I wanted.
"Your concubine, be careful."
"Thank you sir."
After polite gestures, they each left, only when they were leaving the Crescent Gate, Jing Lin looked back at my back with infinite love in his eyes.
When I returned to Liuyi Hall, when I opened the brocade package, I found two sticks of incense. I hastily opened the white paper wrapped with incense, and said Yanlong incense and antidote respectively.
Jing Lin is really careful, he even prepared the antidote for me.
Just as I lit the Yanlong incense, a court lady came in with a basin, pretending to water the wild bamboos in front of the window.
And I, when she was about to secretly look at me, met her eyes directly, forcing her to quickly lower her head in panic.
I lighted the Yanlong incense as if nothing had happened, and said: "The smell of this incense is really good. It has been raining for several days. Light an incense to get rid of the damp smell."
The palace maid hastily watered the wild bamboo and then stepped back.
As soon as the incense was lit, the light and delicate fragrance rushed into the nostrils instantly, and after a while, I felt a lot of tightness in my chest.
This fragrance is not special, and it is very light, which is easy to be ignored.
The aroma of the two sticks of incense from San'er is also completely different.
Thinking carefully about the scents I have smelled in the past few days, there is not the same scent as Yanlong incense.
Could it be that the two sticks of incense in San'er are not Yanlong incense?
As for Concubine Liu, apart from the overly rich fragrance on her body, there was no smell of Yanlong fragrance either.
As my chest became more and more stuffy, I quickly extinguished it.
Suddenly, something flashed through my mind.
By the way, when I smelled the strong fragrance of Concubine Liu that day, I felt the same dull feeling in my chest as now.
It wasn't until I smelled the two sticks of incense that San'er lit that I felt better.
I stared at the incense in front of me, pondered for a long time, until my heart gradually became panicked, and without any hesitation, I lit the antidote incense.
For a while, a unique aroma spread out, and sure enough, the smell was the same as what San'er called "brought in from outside the palace, made of rolling several kinds of herbs, fragrant and refreshing", the dull air in the chest Swept away.
Standing up in a panic, San'er's two sticks of incense were actually the antidote for Yanlong Incense. She had thought about countless endings, but never thought of this possibility.
Heart, messed up.
Saner, I misunderstood her.
Biting her lower lip tightly, my suspicion and suspicion hurt her.
At this moment, she has been imprisoned by the queen for two days.
I have been lynched in the harem.
My lips trembled, my heart was extremely complicated, and I was in a panic for a while.
No, at this time, I must be calm, I must be calm, and I must not panic.
To save San'er, San'er must be rescued.
At nightfall, I calmly left the bedroom.
"It's so late, where is your concubine going?" Two maids hurriedly took the lanterns and illuminated them for me.
Looking at the gate of the palace, I pretended to be expecting and said: "I wonder if the emperor will come tonight?" Palace ladies always like to inquire about such things.
Sure enough, one person said: "I heard that Concubine Liu is pregnant, the emperor will most likely go to Concubine Liu Palace."
Concubine Liu is pregnant?I was taken aback.
"Concubine Liu's Palace is very lively today. The maid is saying that the people who come in and out have trampled on the threshold."
"Your concubine," another palace official asked ambiguously, "When will you add a prince to the emperor, then our Liuyi Hall will be lively."
"Prince?" I murmured, touching my stomach inadvertently, pregnant with his child?
No, no, I'm going out of the palace, and I must not conceive his child.
I hurriedly said to the maid next to me: "You go to the House of Internal Affairs and ask Eunuch Fu to come to Liuyi Hall."
The palace maid was taken aback, and said in a low voice, "Your concubine, Mr. Fu has always had a very high vision. I'm afraid he won't come to our place."
"He will, don't hurry up." I said sharply.
After half an hour.
Eunuch Fu stood in front of me.
When I took out a two-strand jade-encrusted gold hairpin and put it in his hand, Eunuch Fu's half-drooped mouse eyes flashed away, and he bowed and said, "If you have anything to do, just ask."
"Tonight, I want the emperor to go to the queen's place."
Eunuch Fu was slightly surprised, obviously wondering why he didn't take out such a valuable golden hairpin to lead the emperor to Liuyi Hall.
"Can it be done?" I asked.
"Your concubine, don't worry, the emperor will definitely spend the night with the queen tonight." Eunuch Fu put the gold hairpin into his arms, smiling lightly.
Under the temptation of money, sure enough, in the middle of the night, hidden behind the shade of a tree, I saw that bright yellow entered the Queen's Palace surrounded by palace people.
I am a little apprehensive, a little uneasy, and a little scared.
But no matter what, I must rescue San'er.
Taking a deep breath, I entered the Queen's Palace.
When I stood in the inner hall, the queen's eyes shot like thin needles, and that man looked cold, as if everything this morning was just a dream.
The heart sank inexplicably.
"Empress, please let Saner go, she is innocent." Kneeling in front of them, I begged.
"No, this lowly maid instigated His Highness the Crown Prince to look at erotic pictures in an attempt to seduce the Crown Prince. Death is not a pity, how can she be let go?" The queen's face was somber, her eyes gloomy.
"Your Majesty, it's all due to my poor health. When I was conferred the title of noble concubine, your Majesty handed over the erotic pictures to my concubine. She also wanted my concubine to serve the Emperor wholeheartedly, but my concubine didn't keep the erotic pictures well." She looked up. Queen, my eyes are blurred with tears, and my voice is earnest, and every word is swallowed, "San'er is an orphan girl rescued by the prince from outside. The prince has always loved San'er and said that he wants to teach her to read and write. San'er is just holding a few books. I was careless when I went to the East Palace. I put the erotic picture on the table at will, and Saner took it wrong. I know that the empress is also for the reputation of the concubine. Such a big thing happened, and I can’t bear to be punished. But My concubine and San'er have long been in love with each other as sisters, without her waiting these few days, I am very worried about her, please let the concubine let San'er go for the sake of serving the concubine wholeheartedly before."
"What? What nonsense are you talking about?" The queen's face turned green and pale for a while, and she looked at the emperor from time to time to see how she reacted.
"Your Majesty." I knelt down in front of him, raised my head and wiped away the tears from the corners of my eyes, "Please don't blame the Empress, it's my concubine's carelessness, erotic pictures are obscene things in the palace, they are forbidden things, concubines and wives are only private I was just watching quietly in the dark, but the concubine... the emperor punishes the concubine if he wants to punish him, please don't blame the empress."
His eyes were cold and bottomless.
There was a sudden chill in my body, no, at this moment, I can't be afraid, and I can't shrink back.
Unexpectedly, his hand suddenly held me, and his hands were surrounded by warmth. Only then did I realize that my hand was so cold, even trembling slightly.
I heard him ask coolly: "Who is San'er? What happened?"
The queen's complexion was even worse, especially when she saw him holding my hand tightly, but she had no choice but to give a gentle smile, and said softly: "The emperor takes care of everything every day, and leave the affairs of the harem to my concubines." , the concubine will handle it properly."
"Your Majesty, it's all the concubine's fault, please let San'er go and punish the concubine." My tearful eyes turned to the emperor again, full of helplessness, "Your Majesty, San'er is really innocent, everything is wrong." It's my concubine's fault."
"Su En." The queen's beautiful eyes remained gentle, but her expression became fierce, "I have already said that I will deal with it properly, why are you still messing around here?"
"Then, please let the concubine take care of Saner."
"No."
Gritting my teeth, I got up and threw myself into the emperor's arms, choked up and said, "Your majesty, you have to be the master for your concubine."
"Su En, you?" The queen was so angry that her chest rose and fell.
He sighed with a smile in his ear, and he said in a volume that only I could hear: "You can't be a witch, but I want to be a foolish king who is addicted to women for a day."
Enchantress?Faint king?What is he saying?
Just listen to him say: "Queen, let that San'er go."
"Your majesty?" The queen's face suddenly darkened.
The next moment, I exclaimed, and my body was thrown into the air.
He actually picked me up and went straight out of the Queen's Palace, walked into the night, and walked towards Liuyi Palace.
How could this be?
"Your Majesty?" I was stunned for a long time before I recovered my voice and looked up at him. Under the brilliant starry sky, his eyes were as deep as the night, and he seemed to be thinking about something, "Isn't the Emperor spending the night at the Queen's place tonight?" ?”
"I changed my mind."
"You act so hard, I must cooperate with you."
"No, no, that's not what I mean by coming here." I shook my head in a panic.
"I helped you save San'er, shouldn't you repay me?" He looked at me with a half-smile, with naked desire in his eyes.
I blushed slightly and was speechless for a while.
After entering Liuyi Hall, he put me on the bed, his smiling eyes kept on me.
My heart was even more flustered, and I unconsciously squeezed the corner of my clothes tightly.
What's wrong?It's not a day or two to get along with him, why is my heart so upset suddenly, and my whole face looks like it's on fire.
After an unknown amount of time, he spoke softly, with a voice full of helplessness, "I want to protect you with all my heart, but you have pushed yourself to the forefront. Tomorrow, the entire harem, and even the whole world will know that I did it for a mere noble concubine." And neglected the Queen."
Dazed, yes, why didn't I expect that I would become the target of public criticism after doing this.
"Is it too late to worry now?" He raised an eyebrow.
"Your Majesty, you don't need to come to Liuyi Palace."
"I can't help it." He bullied me, raised my chin gently with one hand, his deep eyes were stained with a smile, "This is the first time your concubine has taken the initiative to throw herself into my arms, I should cherish it."
"What?"
His fingers gradually slid down to his chest, and with a light hook, he untied the knot.
"Your Majesty, that's not what I mean by being a concubine." I hastily clarified that this was just to save San'er, and had no other meaning. How could it be throwing myself into my arms?
"Oh? What does that mean?"
"The concubine's body is really just to save San'er, you heard it just now." I said seriously, and hurriedly tied the knot that was untied by him.
He withdrew his hand and braced his chin. After thinking about it carefully, he became more and more frivolous after a while: "I didn't hear it, I only heard you said that watching erotic pictures is just to please me. If that's the case, I naturally want to experience it tonight." After you look at the results, you will take the initiative tonight."
Looking at his approaching face, I was completely dumbfounded. Compared with his gentleness, this frivolous side made me more at a loss and helpless.
This night, I was forced to take the initiative, and my youthful movements made him growl again and again.
This night, until dawn, he let me go and fell into a deep sleep.
The moment I fell asleep, I seemed to hear him say something in a daze, "The plan has changed, stop all transfers."
"Yes." It was Bai Xuan's voice.
I think I must have heard it wrong, how could Bai Xuan appear in Liuyi Hall at this time.
At this time, I retracted the hand on my waist, and hugged me tightly into his arms, and his soft whisper came from my ear: "Enen, trust me, I will protect you, no matter what happens thing."
My tired body has long been unable to think, and I can only react subconsciously. I believe, I believe in him. He is the emperor. I have been a god-like person in my heart since I was a child. I admire him and fear him. How can I not believe him?
On this day, I really became a witch, and he also became a foolish king addicted to women.
There is no emperor in the court, and all the officials are shocked.
It was already high in the sun when I woke up, and I couldn't help moaning out of the soreness all over my body.
Unexpectedly, a pair of hands hugged me from behind, pressed the palms of the sore spots, and rubbed them gently.
"The emperor?" I exclaimed, why hasn't he gotten up yet?
The hand under the quilt gently moved up...
I frantically waved his hand away, turned around to face him, and growled nervously, "Your Majesty, aren't you going to court? What time is this?"
"I said, I want to be a fool who is addicted to women for a day." He propped his head on one hand, his eyes half opened and closed, and he smiled lazily.
"No, the emperor is a wise king, how can I become a foolish king because of me?" In a hurry, I couldn't care less about being naked, so I lifted the quilt and put on my clothes, and took his, and said anxiously, "Hurry up, your majesty. There are so many major national affairs waiting for you to deal with, how can you abolish the government because of greed?"
"In your heart, is Zhen a Mingjun?" The sloppiness on his face disappeared, and the coldness in his eyes was replaced by a kind of light.
I opened my eyes.
"Answer me."
"Yes." I nodded.In any case, he is indeed a wise king, a good king who is praised by the people.
But, why did I feel so anxious and worried when he said he was going to become a faint king?
"Are you afraid that I will really become a faint king?"
"I am a concubine, I am a concubine..." It was a very simple answer, but my palms were sweating from tension.
"Are you caring about me?"
Do you care about him?how could be.
He smiled.
Even though I never got a full sentence out, he had a good laugh.
Seeing him get up, I hurriedly took the inside and put it on for him one by one, but my heart was full of ripples.
After putting on everything, he hugged me gently, "I also want to be a wise king, and you have to supervise me in the future."
"I dare not."
"I give you such power."
"Your majesty, concubine..."
"Why do you always refuse to call me by my name?" He lightly scratched my nose, smiling deeply, "Okay, I will be a wise king now."
When he left the hall, he turned around and looked at me deeply, "Enen, I like you just now."
Watching him stride away, I had mixed feelings for a moment, and I was stunned for a long time.
Until the maid hurried in, "Your concubine, San'er has a high fever, what should I do?"
Saner?Yes, I actually forgot about her.
Suppressing the incomprehensible tension, I quickly walked out of the hall and walked towards her small side room, asking as I walked, "When did San'er be sent back?"
"You were sent back shortly after you returned to the palace last night."
"Is it badly hurt?"
"There is no injury, but the high fever persists."
Entering the small side room, when I saw San'er, who was pale and in a coma, I didn't even think about it. I shook her hand and checked it. Sure enough, all ten fingers were red and swollen. I checked her calf and hair again. Silk, all have scars, just like me at that time.
"Go and invite the imperial doctor, and say that the emperor has allowed it." After thinking about it, I ordered decisively.
The maid left in a hurry.
"San'er, San'er." I called softly, stroked her forehead, it was terribly hot, and I couldn't help feeling deeply guilty.
Knowing how cruel the lynching in the harem is, I let San'er stay there for three days.
It was my suspicion and jealousy that killed San'er.
"San'er?" I yelled, "Wake up, San'er, wake up."
A small voice came from San'er's mouth, and she slowly opened her eyes, her eyes were loose and unfocused.
"San'er, you have to hold on, the imperial doctor will be here soon." My nose was slightly sour.
"Your concubine is a good person, San'er will not frame your concubine, absolutely not." San'er murmured in pain, "No matter what punishment you use, I will never betray your concubine."
"Three children?"
San'er suddenly writhed in pain.
"San'er, it's okay, it's okay." I hurried forward to comfort her.
"Protect your concubine, protect your concubine, San'er will... make..." The following words became blurred.
Looking at San'er's face that is still in great pain and still firm, what she said just now, does the queen want San'er to frame me?
If that's the case, the third girl, she treats me so well.
Deeply moved, my heart, which had been icy cold by the palace, warmed up for a while. I shook San'er's hand, and my eyes were wet.
San'er, I'm sorry.
The imperial doctor prescribed the medicine and left.
At nightfall, San'er's fever finally subsided, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
That night, the emperor did not come to Liuyi Hall.
I took care of San'er all night long.
Two days later, San'er finally woke up.
"Your concubine?" San'er's voice was extremely weak, but when he opened his eyes and saw me, he smiled, "San'er believes that your concubine will definitely come to save San'er."
"Drink the medicine soon." I suppressed so that I didn't choke. I just took the medicine bowl on the table and fed it to her with a spoon.
San'er cried, tears falling drop by drop.
"What's wrong? Is it hurting somewhere else?"
San'er shook his head, choked with sobs and said: "San'er has been alone since childhood, besides practicing kung fu, no one treats San'er so well, and when he is sick, no one feeds San'er with medicine. Your concubine is really kind to San'er."
"If I could have shown up earlier, you wouldn't have suffered so much."
"Your concubine also has her own helplessness. San'er knows it. Didn't your concubine come to save me in the end? San'er is so happy." San'er was smiling with tears in his eyes, very happy, even though his face was still pale, This smile is very beautiful.
"San'er." I stepped forward and hugged her gently, and the tears I had been holding back quietly fell down.
Compared with San'er, I only feel the ugliness in my heart. I don't know when, only suspicion and defense are left in my heart. I even tell myself from time to time not to trust others, and completely deny everyone.
"San'er," gently helping her to sleep, I asked calmly, "Why didn't you tell me that the two sticks of incense are the antidote for Yanlong incense?"
"Your concubine already knows about this?" San'er was startled, then smiled embarrassedly.
"You should have told me."
"The servant girl is only suspicious. When the theater troupe went to perform in various places, the servant girl once met someone who was poisoned by Yanlong incense. That day, the fragrance on Concubine Liu's body was very strange, but the servant girl was not sure, so she wanted to get some There's no harm in using the antidote, I didn't tell your concubine because I wasn't sure."
That's it, I nodded, my heart was filled with San'er's care.
San'er said again worriedly: "Your concubine, this palace is really scary, it's impossible to guard against."
"Yes."
"Your concubine, you can no longer be as meek as before. This servant would rather you be as stern as the queen, so that you won't be bullied."
I smiled lightly, "It's not that I can't do it, it's just that I don't want to treat people like that, and I'm afraid that wearing a mask for a long time will become a habit."
Just because I'm not good at scheming doesn't mean I can't.
Just don't like it, don't want to.
No matter how stupid people are, they know how to play tricks.
"Then are you being bullied by others like this?" Halfway through speaking, San'er rolled his eyes and struggled to get up, "Your concubine, you must hold on to the emperor's heart tightly, otherwise no one will dare to come to our Liuyi Hall." Playing wild."
"How can the emperor's heart be easily grasped." For some reason, an inexplicable irritability arose in my heart.
The warm words he said these days flashed through his mind.
Maybe it was true, but there is no guarantee that one day, he will fall in love with someone else again.
His heart pretends to be the world, the harem is just his foil, and I am the most inconspicuous and insignificant piece of scenery among these foils.
What made me even more at a loss was that things that I always thought I wouldn't care about, seemed to have entered my heart.
"As long as your concubine is willing, the emperor is yours." San'er blurted out, speaking with absolute certainty.
I was immersed in my own thoughts, so I didn't realize that there was something wrong with San'er's words. How could a court lady who had just entered the palace a few days say such a sure word?As if she knew quite well.
"Okay, you've just recovered, lie down and rest quickly." Covering her with a quilt, I patted her, "Take care of yourself."
After leaving the small side room, I stood on the porch.
In the sky, the sun is at noon.
Sitting on the porch, I looked at the half branch lotus in full bloom in the courtyard, and suddenly felt very relaxed.
It's really good to have friends like San'er by my side.
I just feel that life is hopeful.
Those negative thoughts were also swept away in an instant. Although I will no longer naively say that I will work hard to stick to the principles I believe in, but at least I will no longer hesitate and be negative.
At this time, should I also visit Aunt Suyan?
I never asked her about that matter, because I didn't dare, because I was afraid that I would be hurt even more if I asked.
But I believe that her previous concern for me was not fake.
Thinking about it, I still feel sad and heartbroken.
But you can't be heartbroken forever.
No matter what the facts are, give her and yourself a chance.
Just as I was about to step out of Liuyi Hall, two maids ran over, and one of them said, "Your concubine, Xia Zhaoyi committed suicide by throwing himself into the river."
"Yes, I heard that she was pushed into the river by Yang Zhaoyi."
"This Yang Zhaoyi is really vicious."
The two of you talk to each other, these two people usually don't have much to do, so they often go out of the Palace of Liuyi to chat with other maids, and I didn't stop it, after all, how much they know means that I can also know how much .
But at this moment, I couldn't believe what they said, "Xia Zhaoyi committed suicide? Is the Xia Zhaoyi you're talking about Xia Qingrou?"
"It's her."
"I heard that when I picked it up, my whole body was swollen with water."
"I didn't expect Yang Zhaoyi to be so cruel."
Xia Qingrou is dead?I still can't believe it, "What did you say?"
"Your concubine, everyone in the palace is saying that Yang Zhaoyi killed Xia Zhaoyi, and the empress sent someone to arrest her just now."
Yang Qing'er killed Xia Qingrou?Is this possible?
"This kind of thing is not uncommon, the empress will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly," said the maid, "everyone cleans the snow in front of the door, so as not to get into our Liuyi Hall."
"Yeah yeah."
Just as I was talking, another court lady also ran in from outside the hall, saw that I was there, and hurriedly saluted.
"What's wrong?" Seeing her hesitant to speak, I asked.
"Your concubine, Xia Zhaoyi was pushed into the river by Yang Zhaoyi and drowned. The empress sent people to arrest Yang Zhaoyi, but she ran away. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has already searched people thoroughly, and they will come to our Liuyi Palace within two days. .” She gasped.
(End of this chapter)
"I'm just a little noble concubine, how can the empress listen to me? Besides, the erotic pictures..."
As soon as the picture of the erotic palace was mentioned, the prince blushed even more, and growled: "It's none of San'er's business, it was picked up by the prince. San'er accidentally knocked down the picture that day, and the little girl who happened to come in If you see it, that's all."
I was stunned, that day?Could it be that the day before yesterday when San'er ran back to Liuyi Hall blushing?
However, picked up a erotic picture?Who would believe it.
I'm afraid that this "picking" was deliberately released by someone.
"You do not believe?"
"I believe it." How could a person with high self-esteem and arrogance degrade his identity to see these obscene things.
The prince heaved a sigh of relief and patted me on the shoulder, "Friend."
I said helplessly, "Prince, men and women are different."
"Outside, I must keep my identity." After speaking, the prince looked bitter, "What do you think should be done?"
"I don't know." San'er, should I save her?Could she be another aunt without makeup?
Zhao Yuefu's words were just speculation, I frowned.
"You are her master, so it's only logical that you want to return your maidservant." The prince said anxiously.
"Your Highness, why don't you take all this on yourself, so that everything will be settled."
"No." The prince denied it straight away, and his slightly mature handsome face was replaced by sophistication and deepness, "I am the prince, even if this is false, it will make my father angry."
"Anger is temporary, once the truth is found out..."
Before I could finish speaking, the prince said impatiently: "You don't understand, after Concubine An gave birth to her second brother, the emperor's attention to me has obviously decreased. If I take on these things, the position of the prince will be unstable."
"Your Highness, the second prince is still so young, you should worry too much."
"So what? No matter how young you are, you are still a prince, the son of your father, and one day you will compete with me for the crown prince."
In other words, in order to preserve the reputation and position of the prince, he would never undertake all of this.
I was a little stunned, and even more disappointed. Is this what he likes about San'er?
Is this the prince I know?
Still, it was another mistake I made, people in the palace, even a child, can't just look at his surface.
And I always use my first feeling to get to know each other.
Or, the prince became too fast, too fast for people to notice.
Facing my gaze, the prince said arrogantly: "No matter what, you must rescue San'er, I'll go first." After speaking, he walked away.
I stared at a winter jasmine that had already withered its flowers in the courtyard, and felt that the air around me was full of bitterness.
I didn't go to Concubine Liu's Palace, but changed into a court lady's attire, and came outside the Nian Fei Palace. At this time, it's time to go down.
I'm still not cruel enough.At the same time, I don't want to condemn others with suspicion.
But it was not my conscience that made me make this decision, but the bitterness that the crown prince brought to me.
Forget it, let yourself be kind again.
From a distance, he saw Jing Lin coming out of the Orfei Hall, his robe fluttering, and the jade tree facing the wind.
"My lord." I stepped forward and called him.
Seeing it was me, Jing Lin was a little surprised, especially when he saw me wearing a court lady's attire, his bright eyes flashed softly, "Why are you here?"
The ministers walked past us one after another, but seeing that I was only a maid of honor, they didn't pay much attention, after all, there are many court ladies looking for Lord Shangshu.
It's just that they all have ambiguous expressions, obviously mistaking me for a court lady who admires Jing Lin.
"My lord, do you know Yanlongxiang?"
"I know, it's a kind of poisonous incense."
I nodded, "Can you bring me a Yanlong incense?"
I got straight to the point, but I was still nervous. Even though we were friends, I was still not sure if Jing Lin would help me. After all, Yanlong incense is not an ordinary incense.
He was slightly surprised, "What do you want it for?"
"I just want to make sure whether I have been poisoned by Yan Longxiang."
"What? Someone wants to kill you?"
"Just doubt."
Jing Lin looked worried, and nodded without any hesitation, "I'll bring it to you tomorrow."
I was a little surprised by his straightforwardness, but I still couldn't help but be delighted, "Thank you, my lord, my servant has a heartfelt request."
"Go ahead."
"Please don't tell Madam about this." Zhao Yuefu must also guard against her.
Without even thinking about it, he nodded directly, "Okay."
"The servant will leave first."
When turning around, Jing Lin suddenly said: "Enen, if you need help, just call me."
Looking back, I saw Jing Lin's gentle smile.
I have seen this smile before, but the person he was looking at was the Queen.
I think I read it wrong.
Unexpectedly, after leaving a few steps, Jing Lin's gentle voice came, "I have seen the emperor."
I couldn't go any further, and I didn't know what to do for a moment.
I had no choice but to bite the bullet and turn around quickly, kneeling on the ground together with the surrounding palace people.
His cold voice came from next to his ear, "You can handle those things yourself."
"I know in my heart that I will definitely live up to the emperor's grace." Jing Lin was calm and composed, not nervous because I was kneeling just a few steps away, "It's just the emperor, I'm afraid that many people will be implicated by doing so."
"I have prepared for the worst. If we do not break the boat, this cycle will eventually lead to the demise of the dynasty."
The sound got closer and closer, and finally the bright yellow palace satin embroidered dragon boots stopped in front of me.
I felt a chill on my back.
At this time, Jing Lin covered my eyes and said with a smile: "What the emperor said is that everything will go according to plan."
Just as he was talking, Eunuch Fu hurried over and knelt down in panic, "Your Majesty, Concubine Liu fainted in the Imperial Garden."
"What's going on?" The cool voice didn't change after hearing the news.
"The palace man who came to report said that Concubine Liu fainted suddenly, and this old slave has sent someone to call the imperial physician."
"The emperor should go and have a look." Jing Lin said.
Soon, the pair of bright yellow palace satin embroidered dragon boots left my sight.
I let out a sigh of relief.
"Are you scared?" Nazhi Jinglin squatted in front of me at this moment, looking at me with a smile.
But I was no longer moved, I just said eagerly: "I'm scared, I should go." I'm really afraid that the man will come back again.
"Remember what I said, you must come to me if you have anything to do." His eyes were extremely serious, "Trust me, I will never let you down again."
I smiled slightly, "OK."
I believe him, if I don't believe it, I won't look for him.
Just didn't trust him completely, that trust was gone when he hurt me, and will never come back.
After walking away, Jing Lin faced my figure and murmured in pain: "You still don't trust me, if you really trust me completely, you won't answer so quickly."
When I returned to Liuyi Hall, just after I changed my clothes, Aunt Lian appeared in front of me, pointed to the three maids she had brought, and said, "Your concubine, the queen knows that you have no one around, so I give you a special gift." sent by three maids."
"Thank you, Ma'am, for the reward." I saluted.
Aunt Lian was about to leave, I called her, "Auntie, how is San'er?"
"You can't protect yourself, so you still care about a palace man?"
"what?"
Aunt Lian stared at me for a long while, then suddenly said: "Go and see Su Yan, even if she did something wrong to you, there is no other way."
I remained silent, seeing that she was about to leave, I hurriedly said: "Aunt Lian, San'er was wronged."
"So what?"
I stayed for a while.
"Let's do it for ourselves." After finishing speaking, Aunt Lian left the hall.
What is so what?Aunt Lian's words... Could it be that she also knew that San'er was wronged, since she knew why San'er was arrested?
After all, to them, San'er was just an ordinary palace man who would not attract attention.
Also, why did Aunt Lian say that I couldn't protect myself?
Seeing that the three maids brought by Aunt Lian were standing beside me politely, but they kept looking at me secretly, I said: "You just need to be responsible for everything outside the palace, and you don't need to do things in the palace. go down."
It's a reward, maybe it's the queen's eyeliner.
It was late at night, and the man didn't come.
I breathed a sigh of relief, Concubine Liu fainted, he must be in Concubine Liu Palace.
But why did Concubine Liu faint?
It's none of my business.
The only thing I can do is to wait for tomorrow, as long as I get Yanlong incense, everything will be revealed.
As for Aunt Suyan, I was struggling endlessly.
In the end, I sighed, that's all, go see her.
I can't be cruel again.
Always tell yourself to change, change, where is the change?
wry smile.
I'm so tired, my mind hasn't stopped all day.
I really wonder if there will be a few more gray hairs on my head when I wake up tomorrow.
Empress, Concubine Liu, and Concubine An, why do they never get tired of such hardships?
I went to bed, but I couldn't fall asleep, and the things that happened gathered in my mind again.
I don't know when, I fell asleep unknowingly.
I didn't sleep well, until my body was surrounded by a warm embrace, I didn't feel at ease.
He moved his body, found the most comfortable sleeping position, and fell asleep deeply.
This sleep was extremely peaceful, but in the end, the nose was extremely itchy, as if something had been touched.
Rubbing his nose, the thing was gone.
After a while, my nose started to itch again. After doing this three or four times in a row, I was forced to open my eyes.
In a daze, I saw a pair of smiling eyes, even though the smile was thin, icy, and cool, but even so, it was very gentle and touching.
Seeing me open my eyes, those eyes flickered, and I stretched out my hand like a naughty child to pinch my nose tightly, making me unable to breathe, and I was forced to open my mouth to inhale.
Hearing his low and soft laughter was extremely nice.
At the same time, I also woke up and exclaimed: "Your Majesty."
I thought it was a dream, but I couldn't believe it was him playing tricks on me.
I stared at him for a moment, completely dumbfounded.
"I'm charming, right?" He winked at me, making no secret of his confidence and admiration for himself.
charming?Right, no matter what time it is, he is a bright spot, attracting people's involuntary surrender.
"I allow you to look at me obsessively for the rest of your life." The smiles in the eyes overflowed, and the cold feeling was replaced by mischievousness.
I found it strange that he was happy.
Looking at him obsessively?me?My eyes became confused.
"Don't be confused, you can only look at me like you did just now." He raised his eyebrows and commanded domineeringly, and suddenly, he smiled again, his extremely handsome face instantly captivating, "It's time to wake up, I'll take you to a place. "
But I didn't know that I was even more stupid, and I was dumbfounded under his smile.
He helped me up, dressed me, put on my shoes, put on my coat, tied my belt, and let my hair hang freely on my back instead of binding it.
Seeing my silly appearance, he shook his head and said helplessly, "I'm bothered by being too good-looking."
As soon as the words fell, he picked me up, didn't go through the door of the palace, but opened the window, and jumped onto the roof.
Only then did I realize that the sky was already slightly bright, and the sun was about to come out soon.
He hugged me and fell up and down on the top of the temple.
The morning breeze is cool, passing through the clothes, and the sleeves of the two people's clothes are dancing.
Nestling in his arms, I can't feel the coolness of the morning breeze, only warmth.
I was dumbfounded, but not confused.
I just don't believe, I don't believe that the man holding me will be the emperor I know.
I can't believe he can be so naughty.
Believe it or not, he will also play tricks on people.
I don't believe he actually dressed me.
Even more unbelievable, he would say something like "It's too good-looking to annoy me", it's so, so... In short, it shouldn't be said by a person of his stature.
An hour later, he took me to a place that was completely unfamiliar to me. Looking around, there were huge boulders everywhere.
In the distance, there are many buildings in the palace, and the palace has become a point.
We stood at the highest point of the boulder, an extremely smooth place, and looking down quietly, it was about a hundred feet high, which can be called a small hill.
He took me to sit down, hugged me tightly naturally, pointed to the east with one hand and said: "Don't say anything, don't think about anything, let alone blink, just watch."
I looked over as I said, and my eyes suddenly widened.
On the east side, the clouds are gradually dyed by layers of golden light, like blooming begonias or peonies blooming in an instant. The ever-changing clouds, with the gradual dew of the golden light, transform into scenes of different colors and shapes. From shallow to deep, from deep to gradually faded, from one point to one side, and then dyed half the sky.
The sun sticks out its head, and the golden light is golden in an instant, not dazzling, and the whole world is embraced into its warm embrace.
Sunrise is an ordinary thing in life, never noticed, let alone appreciated.
I didn't expect it to be so beautiful.
At this moment, my heart was surging and could not be calmed down for a long time.
"Does it look good?" His breath was in his ear.
I nodded.
"That's why I brought you out early in the morning, to enjoy the sunrise."
He looked at me with a smile, and the golden sunlight shone slightly on his extremely handsome face. He was too handsome to look directly at.
My heart became tense for no reason, just because of the naked affection in his eyes.
With a soft chuckle, his joking voice sounded above his head, "I want you here."
"Wh, what?" I lost my voice in shock.
"I'm kidding you." Qingyue's laughter resounded through the entire stone forest, so cheerful and pleasant.
Is this man in front of me really the emperor I know?
Noble, proud, unchanged, his eyebrows, eyes, nose and lips are all familiar.
But it feels different?
Seeing me staring at him in a daze, he let out a faint sigh, wrapped his fingers around me, and kissed me.
After a lingering kiss, his lips slid to his ears, and he said softly: "Enen, for you, I have struggled, got angry, and been hurt, and you don't know all of this, and I let you go out of the palace, but When you suddenly stood in front of me, I still couldn't help wanting you. Now, I love you, as long as I live, I will love you for a day, don't break my heart anymore, all I want is you Sincerely, you don’t need to respond now, as long as you know that I treat you sincerely.”
After speaking, he hugged me gently.
The breeze blows, blows into the bottom of my heart, rippling the slightest ripples.
At this moment, there seemed to be something tapping in my heart, and I couldn't calm down for a long time.
I don't know how long it took, until I was sure that my heart was no longer fluctuating, I asked softly: "Your Majesty, where are we?"
"200 years ago, the ancestors wanted to build the palace here. When all the stone materials were ready, a rare landslide occurred here, which was no longer suitable for building a palace, so it became what it is now."
"Then how do we go back to the palace?"
"It's already dawn, so naturally I can't perform lightness kung fu, so I have to walk back."
"Your Majesty, do you know the road on the ground?" I really didn't want to ask this question.
He looked at me deeply, pondered for a while, and said very seriously: "I don't know."
"Are Qing Yi and Bai Xuan following?"
"I want to take you to see the sunrise, how can I let them follow."
In other words, we got lost.
This stone forest is so big that even if you walk for a day, you will not be able to get out.
Alas, this man, doubt again, is it really that emperor?
The more we get along, the more I feel that he is not the emperor who is aloof and arrogant, who controls everything in his hands and looks down on everything in the world.
As soon as my feet landed on the ground, he took my hand. The temperature of the palm made me lose my mind for a moment.
"Let's go." He said in a low voice, with a smile on his face.
He walked very slowly, as if to cater to my footsteps, his steps were extremely small.
For 200 years, this place has been covered with weeds, indescribably desolate.
It had just rained a few days ago, the ground was bumpy, and my feet seemed to be walking on soft ground.
After a while, their shoes were wet and dirty.
"Tired?" he asked me, looking down.
"Not tired." It's just that I have only walked for an hour, and it's so slow. Even if my feet are inconvenient, I can still adapt to the rough work.
The waist suddenly tightened, and the next moment he hugged me and said with a smile: "I will carry you away."
"No, no need, I'm not tired." My body was extremely stiff, and I didn't get used to his gentleness for a while, and I didn't think it should be.
"From now on, when it's just me and you, call me by my name."
"I dare not."
"Don't dare or don't want to?"
"Your majesty, concubine..."
"I said, as long as I live, I will pamper you. You must accept it." It was supposed to be an extremely domineering sentence, but he actually said it in an extremely gentle way.
I stared at him blankly. In the past, when he was so strong and always spoke in an oppressive way, I was disgusted, repelled, and even disgusted.
Now, apart from being dumbfounded, I don't know how to treat him, and I'm even at a loss.
"You look at me like this, I want to kiss you again." His expression became helpless.
I blushed and turned my head quickly.
I heard him say on the top of his head: "Enen, I have never loved anyone, and I have never trusted others. Now, I have given you my sincerity and trust. You have to guard it and don't break it. .”
There was a smile in his soft voice, but I was so stressed that I couldn't help but refuse, "Your Majesty?"
"I don't want to hear your refusal. I am confident that you will fall in love with me, and you will love me to the core, without complaint or regret." It was like a very casual sentence, but unconsciously revealed It has the aura of a king who dominates the world, and a proud attitude.
At this moment, I can no longer say the word of rejection. Whenever he shows such a gesture, there is always an inexplicable awe in my heart.
"Your Majesty?" Bai Xuan's voice suddenly appeared above, and the next moment, he knelt down in front of him respectfully, "It's time to go to court early."
Bai Xuan?Didn't he follow?
"It's so fast." The emperor chuckled and looked down at me, "Next time I'll take you to watch the sunrise." As soon as the words fell, his body flew into the air and galloped towards the palace.
"Your Majesty, didn't you say that you can't perform lightness kung fu during the day?" I asked puzzledly, and at the same time held onto him tightly, not daring to move for fear of falling off.
"Call me by my name."
"I dare not."
"I allow you to call."
A gentle breeze blew my untied black hair into disorder, I closed my eyes tightly, and whispered: "Yan Qi."
There were bursts of muffled laughter from the firm and broad chest, which flowed directly into the heart through the eardrums.
He said: "From now on, when you and I are two, only my name is allowed."
An hour later.
In a remote corner of the palace, he put me down and said leisurely: "As long as I don't get discovered, I can still come back with light work, can't I?"
Yeah, why didn't I think of that?I don't need light work during the day, I just worry about being discovered, but as long as I don't get discovered, it's all right?
"I'm going to court, go back and have a good sleep." He raised his hand to straighten my messy hair, looked at me deeply for a moment, and strode away without looking back.
I stared blankly at his back, and after a while, I still felt his breath lingering around.
Just as I was about to turn around, I saw Bai Xuan staring at me coldly from three meters away.
Surprised, I couldn't help but take a step back and looked at him warily.
"Since the lord has recognized you, Baixuan will not attack your concubine again. I just ask your concubine to treat the lord kindly. In the past 20 years, this is the first time Baixuan has seen the lord sleep until dawn." He floated to me. One meter away, Qing Leng said.
"I do not understand what you are saying."
"My lord spends the night at the concubine's place, and will leave as soon as the second watch is over. Only at your place, I don't get up until dawn. This shows that my lord sleeps peacefully."
"what?"
"If you dare to harm the lord, Bai Xuan will kill you even if he risks his life." As soon as the words fell, he disappeared before his eyes.
I was left alone in amazement.
On the way back to Liuyi Hall, Bai Xuan's words would flash in his mind from time to time.
"In the past 20 years, Bai Xuan is the first time to see the lord sleep till dawn."
"My lord will stay overnight with the concubine, and I will leave as soon as the second watch is over."
"This shows that the lord sleeps peacefully."
What do these words mean?
Could it be that the man has been sleeping restlessly?
Indeed, when he was a maid in the Queen's bedroom, he always got up very early and left very quickly.
At that time, I couldn't figure out why, and once thought that I had offended him.
Entering the imperial garden from the secluded flower-shaded path, but when she was about to walk out of the Crescent Gate, she saw Xia Qingrou and Yang Qing'er picking flowers, talking and laughing.
Aren't the two of them always incompatible?Now they are as close as sisters.
Thinking that she had read it wrong, she blinked, and saw what Xia Qingrou said, which made Yang Qing'er bend over and laugh, and even wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hand when she laughed deeply.
I didn't have time to think about it, it was getting late, so I hurried out the door.
But when entering the gate of the Queen's Palace, he bumped into Xiaoru.
"Hey, isn't this your concubine? It's early in the morning, the clothes are so disheveled and covered with muddy water, where is it?" Xiaoru looked at me disdainfully.
If you don't pay attention, I will bypass her.
Unexpectedly, she took a step back and stood in front of me, showing even more disdain, "Your concubine hasn't answered the servant's words yet."
"none of your business."
"Why don't you care about the slaves? If the slaves report to the queen that the noble concubine has left the palace late at night, I don't know what to do..."
I cut off her words, and smiled instead: "You can tell the empress that I went to watch the sunrise with the emperor."
"impossible."
"If you don't believe me, you can confront the emperor."
Xiaoru was taken aback, and looked at me bitterly.
I also imitated her appearance, with disdain and contempt in my eyes, "Xiao Ru, remember your identity, I am the master, you are the servant." After finishing speaking, I left.
I don't think there is anything to be happy about taking advantage of words.
No matter how sharply you speak and how contemptuous you are, it is not the same as what you want.
But people in the world just eat it.
When I entered the palace, the palace people were shocked when they saw me like this.
"Your concubine, where did you go so early in the morning?"
"Yes, you have to tell the slaves when you go out, so that the slaves don't worry."
My face sank, "Are you here to monitor me? Do I need to report to you where I am going?"
The three palace servants looked at each other in blank dismay, hurriedly took a step back and stood aside, murmuring, not daring to ask any more questions.
"You guys go get ready, I want to take a bath." I said in a deep voice, they are all Queen's people, if they don't show stern expressions, I'm afraid they will be the next Xiaoru.
"Yes."
This time, I didn't pretend to be a court lady to go to the Nian Fei Palace, but pretended to take a walk and came to the Imperial Garden. At this time, Xia Qingrou and Yang Qing'er were nowhere to be seen.
After half an hour, Jing Lin appeared in the imperial garden.
After exchanging salutes, they passed each other, pretending to be stumbling, and took advantage of the time when he was helping me, and got the Yanlong incense I wanted.
"Your concubine, be careful."
"Thank you sir."
After polite gestures, they each left, only when they were leaving the Crescent Gate, Jing Lin looked back at my back with infinite love in his eyes.
When I returned to Liuyi Hall, when I opened the brocade package, I found two sticks of incense. I hastily opened the white paper wrapped with incense, and said Yanlong incense and antidote respectively.
Jing Lin is really careful, he even prepared the antidote for me.
Just as I lit the Yanlong incense, a court lady came in with a basin, pretending to water the wild bamboos in front of the window.
And I, when she was about to secretly look at me, met her eyes directly, forcing her to quickly lower her head in panic.
I lighted the Yanlong incense as if nothing had happened, and said: "The smell of this incense is really good. It has been raining for several days. Light an incense to get rid of the damp smell."
The palace maid hastily watered the wild bamboo and then stepped back.
As soon as the incense was lit, the light and delicate fragrance rushed into the nostrils instantly, and after a while, I felt a lot of tightness in my chest.
This fragrance is not special, and it is very light, which is easy to be ignored.
The aroma of the two sticks of incense from San'er is also completely different.
Thinking carefully about the scents I have smelled in the past few days, there is not the same scent as Yanlong incense.
Could it be that the two sticks of incense in San'er are not Yanlong incense?
As for Concubine Liu, apart from the overly rich fragrance on her body, there was no smell of Yanlong fragrance either.
As my chest became more and more stuffy, I quickly extinguished it.
Suddenly, something flashed through my mind.
By the way, when I smelled the strong fragrance of Concubine Liu that day, I felt the same dull feeling in my chest as now.
It wasn't until I smelled the two sticks of incense that San'er lit that I felt better.
I stared at the incense in front of me, pondered for a long time, until my heart gradually became panicked, and without any hesitation, I lit the antidote incense.
For a while, a unique aroma spread out, and sure enough, the smell was the same as what San'er called "brought in from outside the palace, made of rolling several kinds of herbs, fragrant and refreshing", the dull air in the chest Swept away.
Standing up in a panic, San'er's two sticks of incense were actually the antidote for Yanlong Incense. She had thought about countless endings, but never thought of this possibility.
Heart, messed up.
Saner, I misunderstood her.
Biting her lower lip tightly, my suspicion and suspicion hurt her.
At this moment, she has been imprisoned by the queen for two days.
I have been lynched in the harem.
My lips trembled, my heart was extremely complicated, and I was in a panic for a while.
No, at this time, I must be calm, I must be calm, and I must not panic.
To save San'er, San'er must be rescued.
At nightfall, I calmly left the bedroom.
"It's so late, where is your concubine going?" Two maids hurriedly took the lanterns and illuminated them for me.
Looking at the gate of the palace, I pretended to be expecting and said: "I wonder if the emperor will come tonight?" Palace ladies always like to inquire about such things.
Sure enough, one person said: "I heard that Concubine Liu is pregnant, the emperor will most likely go to Concubine Liu Palace."
Concubine Liu is pregnant?I was taken aback.
"Concubine Liu's Palace is very lively today. The maid is saying that the people who come in and out have trampled on the threshold."
"Your concubine," another palace official asked ambiguously, "When will you add a prince to the emperor, then our Liuyi Hall will be lively."
"Prince?" I murmured, touching my stomach inadvertently, pregnant with his child?
No, no, I'm going out of the palace, and I must not conceive his child.
I hurriedly said to the maid next to me: "You go to the House of Internal Affairs and ask Eunuch Fu to come to Liuyi Hall."
The palace maid was taken aback, and said in a low voice, "Your concubine, Mr. Fu has always had a very high vision. I'm afraid he won't come to our place."
"He will, don't hurry up." I said sharply.
After half an hour.
Eunuch Fu stood in front of me.
When I took out a two-strand jade-encrusted gold hairpin and put it in his hand, Eunuch Fu's half-drooped mouse eyes flashed away, and he bowed and said, "If you have anything to do, just ask."
"Tonight, I want the emperor to go to the queen's place."
Eunuch Fu was slightly surprised, obviously wondering why he didn't take out such a valuable golden hairpin to lead the emperor to Liuyi Hall.
"Can it be done?" I asked.
"Your concubine, don't worry, the emperor will definitely spend the night with the queen tonight." Eunuch Fu put the gold hairpin into his arms, smiling lightly.
Under the temptation of money, sure enough, in the middle of the night, hidden behind the shade of a tree, I saw that bright yellow entered the Queen's Palace surrounded by palace people.
I am a little apprehensive, a little uneasy, and a little scared.
But no matter what, I must rescue San'er.
Taking a deep breath, I entered the Queen's Palace.
When I stood in the inner hall, the queen's eyes shot like thin needles, and that man looked cold, as if everything this morning was just a dream.
The heart sank inexplicably.
"Empress, please let Saner go, she is innocent." Kneeling in front of them, I begged.
"No, this lowly maid instigated His Highness the Crown Prince to look at erotic pictures in an attempt to seduce the Crown Prince. Death is not a pity, how can she be let go?" The queen's face was somber, her eyes gloomy.
"Your Majesty, it's all due to my poor health. When I was conferred the title of noble concubine, your Majesty handed over the erotic pictures to my concubine. She also wanted my concubine to serve the Emperor wholeheartedly, but my concubine didn't keep the erotic pictures well." She looked up. Queen, my eyes are blurred with tears, and my voice is earnest, and every word is swallowed, "San'er is an orphan girl rescued by the prince from outside. The prince has always loved San'er and said that he wants to teach her to read and write. San'er is just holding a few books. I was careless when I went to the East Palace. I put the erotic picture on the table at will, and Saner took it wrong. I know that the empress is also for the reputation of the concubine. Such a big thing happened, and I can’t bear to be punished. But My concubine and San'er have long been in love with each other as sisters, without her waiting these few days, I am very worried about her, please let the concubine let San'er go for the sake of serving the concubine wholeheartedly before."
"What? What nonsense are you talking about?" The queen's face turned green and pale for a while, and she looked at the emperor from time to time to see how she reacted.
"Your Majesty." I knelt down in front of him, raised my head and wiped away the tears from the corners of my eyes, "Please don't blame the Empress, it's my concubine's carelessness, erotic pictures are obscene things in the palace, they are forbidden things, concubines and wives are only private I was just watching quietly in the dark, but the concubine... the emperor punishes the concubine if he wants to punish him, please don't blame the empress."
His eyes were cold and bottomless.
There was a sudden chill in my body, no, at this moment, I can't be afraid, and I can't shrink back.
Unexpectedly, his hand suddenly held me, and his hands were surrounded by warmth. Only then did I realize that my hand was so cold, even trembling slightly.
I heard him ask coolly: "Who is San'er? What happened?"
The queen's complexion was even worse, especially when she saw him holding my hand tightly, but she had no choice but to give a gentle smile, and said softly: "The emperor takes care of everything every day, and leave the affairs of the harem to my concubines." , the concubine will handle it properly."
"Your Majesty, it's all the concubine's fault, please let San'er go and punish the concubine." My tearful eyes turned to the emperor again, full of helplessness, "Your Majesty, San'er is really innocent, everything is wrong." It's my concubine's fault."
"Su En." The queen's beautiful eyes remained gentle, but her expression became fierce, "I have already said that I will deal with it properly, why are you still messing around here?"
"Then, please let the concubine take care of Saner."
"No."
Gritting my teeth, I got up and threw myself into the emperor's arms, choked up and said, "Your majesty, you have to be the master for your concubine."
"Su En, you?" The queen was so angry that her chest rose and fell.
He sighed with a smile in his ear, and he said in a volume that only I could hear: "You can't be a witch, but I want to be a foolish king who is addicted to women for a day."
Enchantress?Faint king?What is he saying?
Just listen to him say: "Queen, let that San'er go."
"Your majesty?" The queen's face suddenly darkened.
The next moment, I exclaimed, and my body was thrown into the air.
He actually picked me up and went straight out of the Queen's Palace, walked into the night, and walked towards Liuyi Palace.
How could this be?
"Your Majesty?" I was stunned for a long time before I recovered my voice and looked up at him. Under the brilliant starry sky, his eyes were as deep as the night, and he seemed to be thinking about something, "Isn't the Emperor spending the night at the Queen's place tonight?" ?”
"I changed my mind."
"You act so hard, I must cooperate with you."
"No, no, that's not what I mean by coming here." I shook my head in a panic.
"I helped you save San'er, shouldn't you repay me?" He looked at me with a half-smile, with naked desire in his eyes.
I blushed slightly and was speechless for a while.
After entering Liuyi Hall, he put me on the bed, his smiling eyes kept on me.
My heart was even more flustered, and I unconsciously squeezed the corner of my clothes tightly.
What's wrong?It's not a day or two to get along with him, why is my heart so upset suddenly, and my whole face looks like it's on fire.
After an unknown amount of time, he spoke softly, with a voice full of helplessness, "I want to protect you with all my heart, but you have pushed yourself to the forefront. Tomorrow, the entire harem, and even the whole world will know that I did it for a mere noble concubine." And neglected the Queen."
Dazed, yes, why didn't I expect that I would become the target of public criticism after doing this.
"Is it too late to worry now?" He raised an eyebrow.
"Your Majesty, you don't need to come to Liuyi Palace."
"I can't help it." He bullied me, raised my chin gently with one hand, his deep eyes were stained with a smile, "This is the first time your concubine has taken the initiative to throw herself into my arms, I should cherish it."
"What?"
His fingers gradually slid down to his chest, and with a light hook, he untied the knot.
"Your Majesty, that's not what I mean by being a concubine." I hastily clarified that this was just to save San'er, and had no other meaning. How could it be throwing myself into my arms?
"Oh? What does that mean?"
"The concubine's body is really just to save San'er, you heard it just now." I said seriously, and hurriedly tied the knot that was untied by him.
He withdrew his hand and braced his chin. After thinking about it carefully, he became more and more frivolous after a while: "I didn't hear it, I only heard you said that watching erotic pictures is just to please me. If that's the case, I naturally want to experience it tonight." After you look at the results, you will take the initiative tonight."
Looking at his approaching face, I was completely dumbfounded. Compared with his gentleness, this frivolous side made me more at a loss and helpless.
This night, I was forced to take the initiative, and my youthful movements made him growl again and again.
This night, until dawn, he let me go and fell into a deep sleep.
The moment I fell asleep, I seemed to hear him say something in a daze, "The plan has changed, stop all transfers."
"Yes." It was Bai Xuan's voice.
I think I must have heard it wrong, how could Bai Xuan appear in Liuyi Hall at this time.
At this time, I retracted the hand on my waist, and hugged me tightly into his arms, and his soft whisper came from my ear: "Enen, trust me, I will protect you, no matter what happens thing."
My tired body has long been unable to think, and I can only react subconsciously. I believe, I believe in him. He is the emperor. I have been a god-like person in my heart since I was a child. I admire him and fear him. How can I not believe him?
On this day, I really became a witch, and he also became a foolish king addicted to women.
There is no emperor in the court, and all the officials are shocked.
It was already high in the sun when I woke up, and I couldn't help moaning out of the soreness all over my body.
Unexpectedly, a pair of hands hugged me from behind, pressed the palms of the sore spots, and rubbed them gently.
"The emperor?" I exclaimed, why hasn't he gotten up yet?
The hand under the quilt gently moved up...
I frantically waved his hand away, turned around to face him, and growled nervously, "Your Majesty, aren't you going to court? What time is this?"
"I said, I want to be a fool who is addicted to women for a day." He propped his head on one hand, his eyes half opened and closed, and he smiled lazily.
"No, the emperor is a wise king, how can I become a foolish king because of me?" In a hurry, I couldn't care less about being naked, so I lifted the quilt and put on my clothes, and took his, and said anxiously, "Hurry up, your majesty. There are so many major national affairs waiting for you to deal with, how can you abolish the government because of greed?"
"In your heart, is Zhen a Mingjun?" The sloppiness on his face disappeared, and the coldness in his eyes was replaced by a kind of light.
I opened my eyes.
"Answer me."
"Yes." I nodded.In any case, he is indeed a wise king, a good king who is praised by the people.
But, why did I feel so anxious and worried when he said he was going to become a faint king?
"Are you afraid that I will really become a faint king?"
"I am a concubine, I am a concubine..." It was a very simple answer, but my palms were sweating from tension.
"Are you caring about me?"
Do you care about him?how could be.
He smiled.
Even though I never got a full sentence out, he had a good laugh.
Seeing him get up, I hurriedly took the inside and put it on for him one by one, but my heart was full of ripples.
After putting on everything, he hugged me gently, "I also want to be a wise king, and you have to supervise me in the future."
"I dare not."
"I give you such power."
"Your majesty, concubine..."
"Why do you always refuse to call me by my name?" He lightly scratched my nose, smiling deeply, "Okay, I will be a wise king now."
When he left the hall, he turned around and looked at me deeply, "Enen, I like you just now."
Watching him stride away, I had mixed feelings for a moment, and I was stunned for a long time.
Until the maid hurried in, "Your concubine, San'er has a high fever, what should I do?"
Saner?Yes, I actually forgot about her.
Suppressing the incomprehensible tension, I quickly walked out of the hall and walked towards her small side room, asking as I walked, "When did San'er be sent back?"
"You were sent back shortly after you returned to the palace last night."
"Is it badly hurt?"
"There is no injury, but the high fever persists."
Entering the small side room, when I saw San'er, who was pale and in a coma, I didn't even think about it. I shook her hand and checked it. Sure enough, all ten fingers were red and swollen. I checked her calf and hair again. Silk, all have scars, just like me at that time.
"Go and invite the imperial doctor, and say that the emperor has allowed it." After thinking about it, I ordered decisively.
The maid left in a hurry.
"San'er, San'er." I called softly, stroked her forehead, it was terribly hot, and I couldn't help feeling deeply guilty.
Knowing how cruel the lynching in the harem is, I let San'er stay there for three days.
It was my suspicion and jealousy that killed San'er.
"San'er?" I yelled, "Wake up, San'er, wake up."
A small voice came from San'er's mouth, and she slowly opened her eyes, her eyes were loose and unfocused.
"San'er, you have to hold on, the imperial doctor will be here soon." My nose was slightly sour.
"Your concubine is a good person, San'er will not frame your concubine, absolutely not." San'er murmured in pain, "No matter what punishment you use, I will never betray your concubine."
"Three children?"
San'er suddenly writhed in pain.
"San'er, it's okay, it's okay." I hurried forward to comfort her.
"Protect your concubine, protect your concubine, San'er will... make..." The following words became blurred.
Looking at San'er's face that is still in great pain and still firm, what she said just now, does the queen want San'er to frame me?
If that's the case, the third girl, she treats me so well.
Deeply moved, my heart, which had been icy cold by the palace, warmed up for a while. I shook San'er's hand, and my eyes were wet.
San'er, I'm sorry.
The imperial doctor prescribed the medicine and left.
At nightfall, San'er's fever finally subsided, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
That night, the emperor did not come to Liuyi Hall.
I took care of San'er all night long.
Two days later, San'er finally woke up.
"Your concubine?" San'er's voice was extremely weak, but when he opened his eyes and saw me, he smiled, "San'er believes that your concubine will definitely come to save San'er."
"Drink the medicine soon." I suppressed so that I didn't choke. I just took the medicine bowl on the table and fed it to her with a spoon.
San'er cried, tears falling drop by drop.
"What's wrong? Is it hurting somewhere else?"
San'er shook his head, choked with sobs and said: "San'er has been alone since childhood, besides practicing kung fu, no one treats San'er so well, and when he is sick, no one feeds San'er with medicine. Your concubine is really kind to San'er."
"If I could have shown up earlier, you wouldn't have suffered so much."
"Your concubine also has her own helplessness. San'er knows it. Didn't your concubine come to save me in the end? San'er is so happy." San'er was smiling with tears in his eyes, very happy, even though his face was still pale, This smile is very beautiful.
"San'er." I stepped forward and hugged her gently, and the tears I had been holding back quietly fell down.
Compared with San'er, I only feel the ugliness in my heart. I don't know when, only suspicion and defense are left in my heart. I even tell myself from time to time not to trust others, and completely deny everyone.
"San'er," gently helping her to sleep, I asked calmly, "Why didn't you tell me that the two sticks of incense are the antidote for Yanlong incense?"
"Your concubine already knows about this?" San'er was startled, then smiled embarrassedly.
"You should have told me."
"The servant girl is only suspicious. When the theater troupe went to perform in various places, the servant girl once met someone who was poisoned by Yanlong incense. That day, the fragrance on Concubine Liu's body was very strange, but the servant girl was not sure, so she wanted to get some There's no harm in using the antidote, I didn't tell your concubine because I wasn't sure."
That's it, I nodded, my heart was filled with San'er's care.
San'er said again worriedly: "Your concubine, this palace is really scary, it's impossible to guard against."
"Yes."
"Your concubine, you can no longer be as meek as before. This servant would rather you be as stern as the queen, so that you won't be bullied."
I smiled lightly, "It's not that I can't do it, it's just that I don't want to treat people like that, and I'm afraid that wearing a mask for a long time will become a habit."
Just because I'm not good at scheming doesn't mean I can't.
Just don't like it, don't want to.
No matter how stupid people are, they know how to play tricks.
"Then are you being bullied by others like this?" Halfway through speaking, San'er rolled his eyes and struggled to get up, "Your concubine, you must hold on to the emperor's heart tightly, otherwise no one will dare to come to our Liuyi Hall." Playing wild."
"How can the emperor's heart be easily grasped." For some reason, an inexplicable irritability arose in my heart.
The warm words he said these days flashed through his mind.
Maybe it was true, but there is no guarantee that one day, he will fall in love with someone else again.
His heart pretends to be the world, the harem is just his foil, and I am the most inconspicuous and insignificant piece of scenery among these foils.
What made me even more at a loss was that things that I always thought I wouldn't care about, seemed to have entered my heart.
"As long as your concubine is willing, the emperor is yours." San'er blurted out, speaking with absolute certainty.
I was immersed in my own thoughts, so I didn't realize that there was something wrong with San'er's words. How could a court lady who had just entered the palace a few days say such a sure word?As if she knew quite well.
"Okay, you've just recovered, lie down and rest quickly." Covering her with a quilt, I patted her, "Take care of yourself."
After leaving the small side room, I stood on the porch.
In the sky, the sun is at noon.
Sitting on the porch, I looked at the half branch lotus in full bloom in the courtyard, and suddenly felt very relaxed.
It's really good to have friends like San'er by my side.
I just feel that life is hopeful.
Those negative thoughts were also swept away in an instant. Although I will no longer naively say that I will work hard to stick to the principles I believe in, but at least I will no longer hesitate and be negative.
At this time, should I also visit Aunt Suyan?
I never asked her about that matter, because I didn't dare, because I was afraid that I would be hurt even more if I asked.
But I believe that her previous concern for me was not fake.
Thinking about it, I still feel sad and heartbroken.
But you can't be heartbroken forever.
No matter what the facts are, give her and yourself a chance.
Just as I was about to step out of Liuyi Hall, two maids ran over, and one of them said, "Your concubine, Xia Zhaoyi committed suicide by throwing himself into the river."
"Yes, I heard that she was pushed into the river by Yang Zhaoyi."
"This Yang Zhaoyi is really vicious."
The two of you talk to each other, these two people usually don't have much to do, so they often go out of the Palace of Liuyi to chat with other maids, and I didn't stop it, after all, how much they know means that I can also know how much .
But at this moment, I couldn't believe what they said, "Xia Zhaoyi committed suicide? Is the Xia Zhaoyi you're talking about Xia Qingrou?"
"It's her."
"I heard that when I picked it up, my whole body was swollen with water."
"I didn't expect Yang Zhaoyi to be so cruel."
Xia Qingrou is dead?I still can't believe it, "What did you say?"
"Your concubine, everyone in the palace is saying that Yang Zhaoyi killed Xia Zhaoyi, and the empress sent someone to arrest her just now."
Yang Qing'er killed Xia Qingrou?Is this possible?
"This kind of thing is not uncommon, the empress will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly," said the maid, "everyone cleans the snow in front of the door, so as not to get into our Liuyi Hall."
"Yeah yeah."
Just as I was talking, another court lady also ran in from outside the hall, saw that I was there, and hurriedly saluted.
"What's wrong?" Seeing her hesitant to speak, I asked.
"Your concubine, Xia Zhaoyi was pushed into the river by Yang Zhaoyi and drowned. The empress sent people to arrest Yang Zhaoyi, but she ran away. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has already searched people thoroughly, and they will come to our Liuyi Palace within two days. .” She gasped.
