refuse to be a concubine
Chapter 31 Concubine Concubine, are you coming to see me?
Chapter 31 Concubine Concubine, are you coming to see me?
Seeing me stunned, the three maids whispered again.
I went back to the bedroom step by step, my head was in a mess.
too shocked.
Yang Qing'er killed Xia Qingrou?Impossible, last time, Yang Qing'er pushed Xia Qingrou into the mud pit and ran away in panic, how could she have the guts to push her into the river?
Besides, you saw the two of them talking and laughing a few days ago?
Could it be that they are acting?
There is no one around, and I am also in the dark, who are they acting for?
I do not believe.
Xia Qingrou is Zhao Yuefu's cousin. What kind of person is Zhao Yuefu? She must have bribed many palace people to protect Xia Qingrou. How could she die like this suddenly?
Unable to stay any longer, I left the Liuyi Hall, feeling as though something was about to happen.
Along the way, the palace people bowed their heads and whispered from time to time. The palace road was so continuous that no accent could be heard, and the whole palace was extremely quiet.
I stood there blankly, not knowing where to go?
"Isn't this Concubine Su Gui? It's scorching sun, where are you going?" Concubine Liu's smiling voice sounded from behind.
Turning around, I saw Concubine Liu coming slowly, followed by Aunt Suyan.
Aunt Suyan's complexion was not very good, she tried her best to smile when she saw me.
I also smiled slightly, seeing me smiling at her, Aunt Suyan's lips quivered slightly, looking a little excited.
"Su En, although we are old acquaintances, there are rules in the palace, no matter what, you should bow to me first, right?" Concubine Liu smiled, only her eyes were cold.
"I've seen Concubine Liu."
Concubine Liu snorted softly, approached me, and sized me up, "Your life is pretty big."
She made a pun.
"With the Emperor by my side, I will be lucky and blessed." I said calmly.
"Really? Emperor loves impermanence, Su Guipin must cherish it."
"Although the love of the emperor is impermanent, the concubine is so ordinary, but she can win the favor of the emperor in the palace full of flowers. Unlike those beautiful and powerful empresses who are just a flash in the pan, the concubine will cherish it and protect it for a lifetime."
Concubine Liu chuckled, "It's enough to cherish, protect? Are you not tired? How many women are there in the harem, and countless beautiful women enter the palace every three years, I really want to see how you protect this favor Yes, don't lose your wife and lose your army when the time comes."
"Xie Niangniang is concerned, two hearts promise each other, two love each other, and protection comes from the heart. This is the case with the concubine and the emperor. No matter how many women there are, the concubine believes that when I finally look back, the concubine will be that sight." hot spot."
"You're so eloquent, and being quick with your tongue will only smash you to pieces."
"The concubine just said that with the emperor by my side, the concubine is lucky and blessed, but the empress, you must be careful about the child in your womb. This child is the one that the empress has worked so hard to get." Once In the garden of Concubine Liu's palace, I heard Concubine Liu begging the emperor to give her a child, but the emperor did not agree. Obviously, Concubine Liu conceived this child with all her efforts.
It seems that I was right. Concubine Liu, who has always been calm, is obviously angry at this moment.
"what do you know?"
"The concubine doesn't know anything. Everyone in the palace wants to live, and the concubine is no exception. If one day the concubine feels in danger, in order to protect herself, she will do some bad things when forced to do so." Said After finishing, he looked intently at her flat belly.
"you dare?"
I chuckled lightly, "Look at what my aunt said, what dare I do, as long as I feel that there is no danger, then nothing will happen? flashed his waist."
I lightly blessed her, and left calmly without looking at her again.
As soon as I turned into the Crescent Gate, I gasped for breath.
What did you just say?Are those words really from my mouth?
Feel the face, not hot or red, feel the heartbeat, as usual.
He said it so naturally that he didn't even hesitate, especially when it came to the emperor.
Soothe the forehead, what's the matter, before, I would never say these words.
"My concubine, are you coming to see me?" The cool voice was close to my ear.
His body jumped up in shock, a handsome face was in front of him, it was the emperor.
Behind him, Jing Lin stood gracefully, watching all this lonely.
"Ai, Aifei?" Was he calling Aifei just now?
"Yes, aren't you my beloved concubine?" He smiled and said with an innocent face.
Staring blankly at his smile, I forgot for a moment where I was standing, and also ignored the existence of Jing Lin, the only thing in my eyes and my heart was this godlike face in front of me.
What flashed through my mind were the bits and pieces of these days, his naughtiness, his frivolity...
"My dear concubine, are you stupid?" He waved his hand in front of me.
Taking a sudden step back, I forced myself to look away from him.
His complexion changed little by little, astonishment, disbelief, impossible, impossible...
The body gradually became cold.
"Enen, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong? Why is your face so bad?" He was about to touch my cheek with one hand.
Snapped--
I waved my hand away from his touch.
At this moment, his body was a little stiff, his eyes were astonished, and after a while, he sank down and looked at me deeply, but his voice was extremely gentle, "If you feel unwell, let the palace servants call the imperial doctor, and I will come back at night." Go to see you, Jing Lin, let's go."
When turning around, Jing Lin looked at me complicatedly for a moment, and then followed his footsteps to leave.
"No, no." I shook my head and murmured, "The person I like is Tang Yu, always has been."
The footsteps of leaving were a little unsteady, and under the scorching sun, I couldn't feel the slightest temperature.
How long has it been since Tang Yu left?How can I... how can I...
No, can't be moved, can't.
How could Tang Yu be forgotten so easily?
How could you fall in love with that man so easily?
I pressed my heart with my hands, and the more I pressed it, the tighter it was, I could never, couldn't fall in love with him.
"Your concubine, what's wrong with you? You look so ugly." San'er's voice.
Looking up, I went back to Liuyi Hall, where San'er was taking out the bird's nest porridge from the copper pot.
"San'er, why are you up?" I asked, my voice weak.
"My maidservant is used to rough work, so this little injury is not a problem." San'er came over to help me sit down, "My maidservant also cooked bird's nest porridge for your concubine, eat it while it's hot." After speaking, San'er served it A bowl came.
I shook my head, "I can't eat it."
"Your concubine?"
"I want to be quiet. No matter who comes, just say that I'm not feeling well." Before San'er could ask, I quickly stepped into the inner hall.
The whole afternoon, I squatted at the corner of the bed, hugging myself tightly.
I am not a child, how can I not understand the feeling of liking someone?
If the heart moves, I have tasted that feeling.
Even if you like someone else, it shouldn't be him.
He and Tang Yu are enemies, the ones who ruined my life's happiness.
How can you like him?
I buried my face deep in my knees and held my head tightly in my hands.
It is guilt, and it is deep self-blame.
After an unknown amount of time, San'er's voice sounded from the side, "Your concubine, let's eat."
I raised my head slowly, and saw San'er setting out the bowls and chopsticks, looking at me worriedly from time to time, seeing me get out of bed, and hurried over to help me, "Are you okay?"
I shook my head and looked out the window, it was already night.
Another day passed.
Looking at the rich dishes in front of me, but no taste, I said calmly: "Take it away, I can't eat it."
"How good is this? How much have you eaten in one day?"
"Can't eat." I pushed away the chopsticks that San'er handed over.
"Why don't the servants heat it up first, and then eat when your concubine wants to eat?"
"Alright."
When the food was removed, San'er said again: "The emperor came here just now, he watched you at the door for a while and then left."
He has been here?I startled.
"Your concubine, do you have nothing to do with the emperor?"
I smiled unnaturally, "He is the emperor, what else can I have with him."
It's just that I fell in love with him, which is something I never expected.
No, you must not fall in love with him.
Let go of everything in the past, as well as hatred and resentment, but it doesn't mean that you can fall in love with him.
You can't like him either.
Not just for the past, but also for the future.
I am an ordinary person, and it is because of my ordinaryness that I can ask for a lifetime of concentration and a pair of companions.
As a noble concubine, I have no choice.
As a woman of the emperor, she can't choose.
So, be sure to seal your heart.
Clang.
It broke the silence in the hall and pulled my thoughts back.
"San'er?" I called out to where the voice came from.
No one responded.
"San'er?" No, since San'er was going to heat up the food, he should have gone to the small kitchen, but the voice came from the outer hall, San'er couldn't have come back so fast, and there is no maid on duty in Liuyi Hall habit.
After thinking about it, I got up and walked outside.
As soon as the door was opened, a black shadow hid behind the jade screen.
"Who?" I asked cautiously, and brought a vase from the side, just in case.
There was no movement inside the screen.
I walked quietly step by step.
Just as I was about to approach the screen, a figure flashed out and rushed towards me. The bottle fell to the ground with a crisp shattering sound, and I was also hit by the corner of the door, which made me dizzy.
As soon as my neck felt cold, a fragment of the bottle pressed against me, and my whole body was turned backwards. The man screamed: "Don't make a sound."
this sound?
"Yang Qing'er?" I was shocked.
"Yes, it's me." Pushing hard, she pushed me into the inner bedroom, locked the door behind her, and pointed at me with the fragments, Yang Qing'er panicked, "If you dare to speak out, I will kill you."
"Can a single piece kill me?" Just now I didn't know who it was, and I felt a little scared in my heart, but now I calmed down, looking at Yang Qing'er in front of me, with disheveled hair, torn clothes, and terrified eyes, no different from a madman.
Unexpectedly, Yang Qing'er suddenly knelt down at this moment, kowtowed to me, and said in a sad voice, "Your concubine, please save me, Xia Qingrou really wasn't killed by me, but by Concubine Liu."
"What did you say?"
"Xia Qingrou was not killed by me, but by Concubine Liu, because Xia Qingrou and I ran into her and was about to poison His Highness the Crown Prince, so she wanted to kill her to silence her. If I hadn't escaped in time, she would have killed me by now. "Yang Qing'er knelt in front of me and said, "Your concubine, you are favored by the emperor now, and only you can save me. I... I really didn't kill Xia Qingrou."
Just when I was in doubt, San'er's voice sounded from outside, "Your concubine, are you inside?"
Upon hearing San'er's voice, Yang Qing'er grabbed the corner of my clothes and begged anxiously, "Your concubine, please save me, please save me, if someone finds out, I will die."
"Your concubine?" San'er's voice was already outside the door, "Why is the door closed? Your concubine?"
"Your concubine, please help me."
Seeing that I have been surprised and silent, Yang Qing'er gritted his teeth, picked up the broken bottle and was about to stab me. At this moment, San'er kicked the door open. He hooked the stool beside him and kicked Yang Qing'er.
"Wait a minute, San'er." But it was too late.
Yang Qing'er let out a scream, hit the wall with her whole body, and passed out.
"Your concubine, are you okay?" San'er pulled me over, looked left and right nervously, and was relieved when he saw that nothing was wrong.
"San'er, why are you so strong?" I hurried over to see how Yang Qing'er was hurt, and when I saw that her forehead was swollen and there was nothing else, I let out a sigh of relief.
"Your concubine, who is she?" San'er looked strange.
"She is Yang Qing'er, the emperor's new Zhaoyi a while ago."
"That Yang Qing'er who killed Xia Zhaoyi?" San'er exclaimed.
I nodded, "But she said that Xia Qingrou was not killed by her, but by Concubine Liu. San'er, take her to your room first."
San'er was taken aback, "Shouldn't she be handed over to the queen?"
"I don't know either, maybe I should clarify things first." After thinking about it, I felt that the things that happened these days were very strange, and I couldn't tell where the strangeness was.
San'er who was carrying it suddenly put down Yang Qing'er, and said cautiously: "Your concubine, you'd better not get involved in it."
I was taken aback for a moment, I had never seen San'er like this before.
"That Mingxiu's death and Xia Zhaoyi's death have nothing to do with you. This slave feels as if there are two other forces fighting invisibly in this palace. Isn't it better for us to watch the fire from the other side? Once you take this Yang Qing'er in, you and It’s out of the question.”
"I know, but I still want to do this." San'er was right, but because of this, I had to do this, and there were many questions in my heart. What is Zhao Yuefu's great kindness?
Myung Soo is dead.
Xia Qingrou died so suddenly.
Obviously it's not aimed at me, but the struggle between the two forces of the Queen and Concubine Liu.
This shouldn't be an ordinary concubine competing for favor, if so, I shouldn't be ignored by them.
It seems that the two of them are going to fight to the death.
Many of them are for the prince's dispute.
And Zhao Yuefu was obviously also involved.
With her character, if there is no benefit, she will not lose the army and make a useless move.
The fact is before her eyes, the queen has a prince, and Concubine Liu doesn't know whether she will give birth to a prince or a princess.
And if she wants to become the number one businessman in the world, why does she want to make a deal with me?What good could such a simple request bring her?
What does it mean to show great kindness to the emperor?
She shouldn't be able to harm him, right?
With a wry smile, he said that he wanted to seal his heart, so what are the worries at this moment?
In the middle of the night, he came.
I knew he was coming, but I didn't open my eyes, pretending to be sound asleep.
His hand touched me, stroking back and forth on my cheeks, at first it was gentle and gentle, then it became softer and softer, until finally he caressed me vaguely, like pieces of feathers, making me feel The itching on his face was unbearable.
In the end, I had no choice but to pretend that I had just woken up, "The emperor is here."
"It's been a while." He said in a low voice, his midnight-black eyes filled with a deep smile.
After finishing speaking, he took the initiative to get into bed and hugged me tightly, "Go to sleep."
That night, I slept very restlessly.
I always see Tang Yu in my dreams, see his accusing eyes, and say that I am skittish, change my mind when I see a difference, and leave indifferently in the end.
"No, Tang Yu, I didn't, no, I didn't like him." She wanted to go forward to explain, but she couldn't move her foot, so she could only watch him leave.
"Don't go, Tang Yu, I only love you in my life, and I will never fall in love with anyone else." I cried and begged, but he still didn't look back at me.
I woke up suddenly, half sat up, and subconsciously shouted: "Tang Yu, don't go, I only love you, I only love you in this life, and I will never fall in love with anyone else."
When his eyes met a pair of black eyes, the voice stopped abruptly.
He heard it, and said it so loudly, how could he not have heard it?
Will he be angry?
At this moment, I can't care whether he will be angry or not. The figure of Tang Yu leaving in the dream makes me want to cry.
"Having a nightmare? Look at your head covered in cold sweat." He said softly, reaching out his hand to wipe the cold sweat on my forehead, the next moment, the outstretched hand froze in mid-air, just because I moved away.
"I heard San'er say, you didn't have dinner today, did you? I'll go and get it for you." After saying that, he was about to get out of bed.
"No." I refused coldly.
"It's still two hours before dawn. Why don't you want to eat after you've been hungry all night?"
"Don't be so nice to me." I squeezed the quilt at my hand.
He sighed softly, "I just want to be nice to you, I can't restrain myself, who made me fall in love with you."
"What I want is a couple for a lifetime, what I want is concentration and waiting for a lifetime, can you give it to me?" I asked coldly in front of the love he said.
He seems silent, but also seems to be thinking.
And I just thought he was refusing, "If I hadn't entered the palace, I wouldn't be the mother of several children by now, and my family lived happily and peacefully. This is the life I want, can you give it to me?" ?”
"I can't."
"Okay, don't want an ordinary life, can you be the only woman in your life?"
He smiled wryly, "No."
"Then what can you give me?" My voice was hoarse, my eyes were wet, I didn't know what I was asking, talking to an emperor, these words are superfluous at all, in the eyes of others, they are vexatious, and they just don't know what to do.
For me, each question adds another layer of pain.
Every time I ask, I can see where I am.
I have seen it clearly, but I am not reconciled.
Thinking of what happened recently, and thinking about these things in my head every day, my heart felt like a fire was lit, and I felt uncomfortable.
Want a place to vent.
"I can't give you anything."
I turned my head and sniffed.
The door opened and closed again.
he's gone.
I can't tell what the loss in my heart is, I just feel like crying, wanting to cry loudly.
Half an hour later, I finally calmed down, but I couldn't fall asleep anymore, so I sat on the bed wrapped in a quilt.
There was a creak, the sound of the door opening.
I looked up, and at this moment, stared at him blankly.
"Can I still sleep here tonight?" He smiled softly and said softly.
I lowered my head, moved my lips, and didn't make a sound. I just laid out the bedding and lay down, leaving half of the space.
The next day, people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs searched, but Yang Qing'er was well hidden by us, so he was not found.
"Your concubine, everything I said is true." Yang Qing'er knelt in front of her and told the story one by one, "Concubine Liu and a short man were discussing to poison the crown prince behind a rockery, but unfortunately I When Xia Qingrou heard it, she killed her to silence her. I never imagined that Concubine Liu would know martial arts, if I hadn't been clever enough to hide, I would have been killed by her right now."
Concubine Liu knows how to poison, so it's not surprising that she knows martial arts.
San'er and I looked at each other, with doubts in our hearts: Is Yang Qing'er's words credible?
"Since you didn't kill the man, why did you run away?" San'er asked.
"Can I not escape? She is Concubine Liu, and I'm just a little Zhaoyi, how can I survive this fight? Your concubine, you must save me."
I sat with my eyebrows fixed, thinking quietly, and finally I said: "I have no ability to save you, and I will not hand you over to the queen. You can go."
"Come on, where can I go? If your concubine doesn't save me, then I will stay here and not leave."
"Hey, why are you like this?" San'er's eyebrows were full of anger, "My noble concubine kindly took you in, but you are so lucky that you actually want to hang on."
"You tell me to leave now, and I'm still going to die? If that's the case, why did you save me back then?" Yang Qing'er snorted coldly, with an expression of what you can do to me.
"Do you really think we dare not give you to the empress?" San'er put his hands on his hips angrily.
"Send it, then I will bite you back."
When I got up, I looked at Yang Qing'er coldly, "It's up to you, it doesn't matter if you want to stay, food and accommodation have to be settled by yourself, this is San'er's small side room, I can't keep you, you Let's see."
Most of the summer has passed, but it is still as hot as a stove.
San'er came over with iced plum tea, "Your concubine, quench your thirst."
After taking a sip of iced plum tea, the whole body felt cool, and San'er said angrily, "It's really easy to ask the gods, but it's hard to give up the gods, this Yang Qing'er actually repays the favor with revenge."
"She is also trying to survive. As long as she can live, what is revenge for kindness?" I smiled lightly.
"Then what do we do?"
"Don't you also say that there are two forces fighting, let me watch the fire from the other side, since this is the case, let's just wait and see what happens, the two forces can't calm down because of Yang Qing'er's disappearance." Having said that, But my heart can't be calm.
For three consecutive days, there was no sign of Yang Qing'er.
San'er and I naturally wouldn't feel that she had left, she couldn't go anywhere in the huge palace.
As for him, in the past three days, I have been sleeping with him every day, but we haven't said a word to each other.
As soon as he came, he quietly hugged me and fell asleep until dawn, and then quietly left.
Wanting to break this silence, I can't speak, or I don't know how to speak.
When I saw him, when his breath wrapped around my whole body, I would think of Tang Yu and the dream I had that day.
Seems like a vicious circle.
The days passed like this.
The palace was extremely peaceful, and nothing happened.
As night fell, as usual, San'er hurried in, but today she looked depressed, "The emperor didn't turn over anyone's sign today, and went to the queen's."
"It's time to go elsewhere, Liuyi Palace can't always occupy the emperor." I pretended to be indifferent, but my hand was pricked by the embroidery needle, there was no bleeding, but it was very painful.
San'er pouted dissatisfiedly.
Putting down my embroidery work, I looked at San'er with a smile, "Did you meet the prince in the Imperial Garden today?"
"Your concubine also knows? Those three people really like to gossip." San'er muttered.
"The prince likes you very much." I asked, "What about you, do you like the prince?"
Without thinking about it, San'er nodded, "The crown prince is a little master to San'er."
"Is that all?"
"correct."
I was taken aback, why is it the master?Or half?Shouldn't it be a benefactor?
"Your concubine, do you like the emperor?" San'er rested her chin with both hands and looked at me curiously.
Do you like him?To San'er, I don't want to lie, but I really don't know how to say it, so I just said: "I don't know."
"Hey, why don't you know? If you like it, you like it, and if you don't like it, you don't like it."
"I can't tell, it's late, go to bed."
San'er nodded, and looked at me again before going out, hesitant to speak, but finally said nothing.
After spreading out the bedding, I sat on the edge of the bed for a long time, took off my clothes, and fell asleep with only my underwear on.
But I didn't expect that when I just fell asleep, the side of the bed was sunken, and the familiar breath surrounded me all of a sudden.
The body was wrapped into his arms.
Didn't he go to the queen?
As usual, I pretended to be asleep.
He hugged me quietly.
The breath of each other blends.
I don't know how long it took, but he suddenly said in my ear: "Enen, I'm very tired recently, and I have encountered a difficult problem, I don't know what to do?"
I still keep my eyes shut.
A heavy sigh made my heart inexplicably ache.
He leaned his head tightly against my neck, and his voice was muffled and pitiful, "Is your heart changed from a stone? Why don't you care about what kind of difficult problems I have encountered? What's the problem? I know you're not asleep." After speaking, he kissed her.
I was forced to open my eyes, turned my head, and said calmly: "The emperor will find a way."
He forced me to look at him, but his expression became more and more pitiful, "Enen, be nice to me, don't look at me as the emperor, but in fact I am very pitiful. Since I was a child, I have been afraid of sleeping alone because I am surrounded by people from the previous dynasty." I don't know when they will plot against me, so I have never slept peacefully."
I was stunned, he...he actually acted pitifully.
"Well, my mother has been very strict with me since I was a child. She either beat or scolded me. She said that a filial son is born from a stick. As a heir, one should stick to the stick. I am abused every day."
I didn't know how to deal with it for a while, I just looked at the lovely and pitiful face in front of me stupidly.
It's so pitiful, can it be used on men?
"Enen, you must be nice to me," he looked at me tenderly for a long while, then suddenly said, "Forget about Tang Yu, I haven't talked to you these days, just to give you enough time to think clearly, I wanted to give you some time, but I can't wait, I can't wait to talk to you."
This is the first time, when I heard the word Tang Yu from his mouth, I felt an indescribable pain in my heart.
"The past has passed and has become a memory. What you want to live in is the future, the future, and your future belongs to me." He said softly, but also forcefully demanded, "Enen, I love you, even if you I really can't forget him, and I can't deny my existence. If you treat me like this, I will be sad and discouraged."
There was also naked fragility in his eyes.
How can you not be moved at this moment?But I just can't take this step.
The hands under the quilt were tightly clenched, and the struggle in my heart became more intense.
"Great, give me a chance." He was full of expectations.
With lowered eyes, I said in a low voice, "I'm already a noble concubine, where else can I go in this life except by the emperor's side?"
"What I want is your heart."
Heart?If I gave him my heart, what would I have left?
With three thousand beauties in the harem, can he promise to keep his heart on me for the rest of his life?
Emperor's love is impermanent, and people's hearts are unpredictable. The cage of the palace is for women, and it is women who cry, and it is women who are the worst.
No, even if you like him, you will never give your heart to him.
I can't let myself get hurt again, that kind of pain, once is enough.
One more time, I'm going to die, I'm really going to die.
Only by guarding your heart and seeing the situation in front of you clearly can you survive in the palace better, isn't it?
"Your Majesty, isn't it good for us to do this?" I forced a smile.
"not good."
"Enen feels pretty good."
He looked at me deeply, a little frustrated, a little frustrated, more helpless, "How can you give your heart to me?"
"Your Majesty, I'm a little tired, can we talk about these things later?"
"This is your answer?" He smiled, very bitterly.
My heart was turbulent, but my voice was as calm as possible, "The emperor will go to court tomorrow, so he should rest earlier."
At this time, someone knocked on the door of the bedroom, and San'er's eager voice sounded outside, "Your Majesty, the empress is begging to see you."
The queen begs to see you, at this time?
Looking at him, his eyes were already cold, and he said lightly: "Give me clothes."
The main hall of Liuyi Hall.
When I saw Yang Qing'er kneeling in the middle of the hall, I couldn't help but look at San'er, and we both saw tension in each other's eyes.
Didn't Yang Qing'er say that she would not leave Liuyi Hall?
How did the queen catch her?
"What's going on?" He frowned and looked at the queen.
"Your majesty has seen that the concubine has captured Yang Qing'er, do you know where the concubine caught Yang Qing'er?" The queen looked at me with prickly eyes, "Just outside the wall of Liuyi Hall, this lowly maid is turning over The wall fled and was hit by the palace man."
"Oh? Then the queen should have been interrogated, right?"
"It's okay if there is no trial, the first trial will let the concubine find out a big secret." The queen looked at Yang Qing'er who was kneeling in the middle, "Tell the emperor what you said just now."
Yang Qing'er trembled, and stammered: "I didn't kill Xia Zhaoyi, but Concubine Liu did. Concubine Liu and a short man discussed poisoning the prince behind a rockery. Unfortunately, Xia Zhaoyi and I overheard her. I was smart enough to avoid death by hiding, and later...later," Yang Qing'er gave me a frightened look, and said, "I entered Liuyi Hall in a panic, and bumped into your concubine, your concubine He took me in."
"Why did your concubine take you in?" the queen asked.
"Because, because your concubine said that she didn't like Xia Zhaoyi in the past, and she was often angry with her when she was Xia Zhaoyi's personal maid. She wanted to thank me for getting rid of this harm for her. She also said that she would send me out of the palace." , but within a few days, she went back on her word again, and I was afraid that your concubine would kill me, so I had to run away. Your Majesty, I really didn't kill Xia Zhaoyi, but Concubine Liu did it."
"Bloody mouth." Faced with Yang Qing'er's nonsense, San'er was about to step forward to reason, but I stopped him.
"Your concubine." The queen looked at me coldly, "Do you have something to say?"
I looked at the empress calmly, "If you want to commit a crime, why is there no excuse? This move by the empress will not only bring down concubine Liu, but also make this concubine helpless."
"Want to impose a crime? Do you think I'm relying on you?" the queen asked angrily.
"I dare not."
"Okay, I'll let you be convinced, come here, and call those three palace servants up." As soon as the queen's voice fell, the only three palace servants in Liuyi Palace immediately came in, knelt in front of the emperor, and a court lady said: " The servants saw it with their own eyes. That night, Yang Zhaoyi sneaked in and broke a vase. The two went into the bedroom, and San'er also went in later. After that, Yang Zhaoyi lived in San'er's small side room. "
"The slaves have also seen it." The other two maids echoed.
"You?" San'er was so angry that he pointed at the trembling fingers of the three of them.
"Your concubine, I asked you to answer it yourself. Is everything they said true?"
Looking at the few people kneeling in front of me, I suddenly understood that this was a game in itself, a trick the Queen asked me to take advantage of.
How can I answer?Even if they were telling the truth, what these three people said was the truth. Yang Qing'er sneaked in, broke a vase, and entered the bedroom...
"Yang Zhaoyi, I asked you something, why don't you answer quickly?" The queen's voice became more and more serious, "Is what they said true?"
His voice was stuck in his throat, no matter what he said, he would be condemned.
It's helplessness, it's suffering, and even refuting is a luxury. This is the palace, a place where people can eat people without spit out their bones.
As soon as I gritted my teeth, I was about to answer, but a cold voice sounded at this moment, "Queen, it seems that you have forgotten that I have been in Liuyi Palace these days, and Concubine Su Gui has never left my side, so what? Possibly in contact with others?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was startled.
The eyes of the three palace servants and Yang Qing'er all fell on the queen, as if they were asking what to do.
The queen's face turned blue and white.
And I, staring at him blankly, couldn't believe that he would help me with such a thing.
Just when I looked at him complicatedly, he took advantage of everyone's surprise and blinked at me.
I froze on the spot, and at a time like this, he still...
Okay, I'm not used to it.
And the shock, torment, and helplessness completely disappeared because of his small gesture.
"Your majesty, even if your concubine is sleeping every day, you and her are not stuck together every day. There are so many people watching this matter. Could it be that they are all lying?" The queen unconsciously raised her voice.
"The empress means that they are not lying, but I am lying to protect Concubine Su?"
"Chen and concubine dare not."
"I think there must be some misunderstanding. The queen should check it out."
The empress gritted her silver teeth, stared at me, and said for a long while: "Yes, the concubine will definitely check it out. What about Concubine Liu, Concubine Liu is poisonous..." Before the next words were finished, the people in the palace turned pale. He ran in and knelt down in front of the emperor, "Your Majesty, empress, it's not good. Concubine Liu suddenly vomited a lot of blood and passed out."
"What?" There was a layer of coldness between the Queen's eyebrows, "How could she vomit blood and pass out?"
"What happened?" His voice was extremely calm, and he met my eyes unexpectedly.
I turned my head in panic.
"I don't know about this maidservant, but Concubine Liu wanted to see the second prince, but she vomited blood and fell into a coma as soon as she picked him up," the palace servant reported tremblingly.
"Is the imperial doctor passed on?" the emperor asked.
"It has been sent."
"I'm going to take a look." After he finished speaking to me, he walked out quickly and quickly disappeared into the night.
The palace people followed quickly.
For a moment, Liuyi Hall became quiet.
Since the emperor left, the queen's eyes fell on me like a knife.
And I only looked at the back of the emperor, and I didn't look back until he disappeared.
"Su En, what a great skill." Still couldn't help it, the queen was aggressive.
"Shouldn't the Empress be worried about some tricks that Concubine Liu has used?" I looked at her calmly, my face was not as expressive as hers.
The queen took a step closer to me, and asked bitterly: "Are you on the side of this palace or the side of Concubine Liu?"
"Is there a difference? Didn't the empress just want to frame me?"
"It's my palace who underestimated you. I didn't expect the emperor to love you so much, and even destroyed his promise not to interfere with the harem." Her eyes didn't know whether it was jealousy or hatred.
"Empress?" Aunt Lian's voice had already come in before the people of Aunt Lian entered the hall, which also blocked what I wanted to say.
When Aunt Lian stood in front of the queen, beads of sweat kept falling from her forehead.
The Queen's Palace is only a few corridors away from here, what made her leave in such a hurry?
When she whispered in the queen's ear, she saw the queen's face changed, panic flashed in her eyes, and she walked out in three steps at a time, her footsteps seemed messy, as if something extremely serious had happened.
The lively scene suddenly became cold again. What did Aunt Lian say to the empress?
San'er and I looked at each other, both felt that things were unusual.
San'er let out a sigh of relief, "It's really dangerous just now, it seems that it was premeditated from the beginning, the queen is too insidious, kill two birds with one stone, it can not only get rid of Concubine Liu, but also drag the noble concubine into trouble."
I sighed, when will Gongdou end?
It was only after I relaxed that I realized how tense I was just now.
After so many things, I should be more calm and calm. Obviously, I still haven't adapted.
"Your concubine, drink some tea to calm your shock." San'er poured the tea, eyes full of envy, "The emperor treats you so well, even helping your concubine without asking anything, it shows how much the emperor trusts your concubine."
Yeah, it really surprised me.
In the past, he never cared about the affairs of the harem, let alone intervening in the battles between the harem. He once said, "My woman must be able to withstand and deal with the harem, otherwise I will not pity her." ".
"I won't help one of them."
Now, he helped me without even asking.
I started struggling again.
In the end, I still hardened my heart and said: "Sleep, there should be nothing more tonight." It is the Queen's Palace and Concubine Liu's Palace that are busy.
Sure enough, the next day, the news came.
Concubine Liu was poisoned, and the poison was placed by the crown prince.
When the prince heard that concubine Liu was going to poison him, he acted first.
Fortunately, both Concubine Liu and the fetus in her womb were safe.
The prince was locked in a dungeon.
For several days, he did not come to Liuyi Hall, nor did he go to other concubines, but stayed in Zhaoyang Hall.
Presumably the matter of the prince is extremely difficult.
And I didn't take half a step out of the Liuyi Hall, but whenever night falls, my eyes will always look at the door of the hall intentionally or unintentionally, expecting something.
What to expect?
Everyone knows it, but I myself don't want to admit it.
He kept telling himself that once he admitted it, he would never be himself again after leaving the palace.
And he, one day, a woman will appear beside me to take my place.
One leaf falls and autumn is known.
San'er entered the palace gate in panic, panting for me with a pale face.
Putting down the hot tea in my hand, I asked, "What happened?"
The atmosphere in the palace was extremely tense, seeing San'er's appearance, my heart also sank.
"Too... the crown prince will... be beheaded after the autumn." San'er pursed his dry lips.
"Beheaded?" It was a very unfamiliar word. I opened my eyes for a long time before I came to my senses, and jumped up, "The prince is going to be beheaded?"
San'er nodded, "It turns out that the prince's key targets are Concubine Liu and the second prince. This kind of poison can only take effect with the combination of two scents. The prince and concubine Liu put poisonous powder on their bodies."
There are many things that are not enough to surprise me, but the prince, that child who always shows awkward feelings, sometimes sunny, sometimes arrogant, when did he become so scheming?
Thinking of his changes, I have to believe it again.
"Your concubine, do you think the emperor will really kill the prince?" San'er asked eagerly.
"I don't know." It happened so suddenly.
There was deep regret in San'er's eyes, "I don't think the prince is bad, your concubine, where are you going?"
"I'm going to see the queen." I hurried out of Liuyi Hall.
Both the queen and the prince are people Tang Yu has always wanted to protect during his lifetime. I don't want anything to happen to them.
Stepping into the Queen's Palace, there was no one there. I entered the courtyard and didn't see any palace people moving around. I felt strange and was about to go out. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Zhao Yuefu and the Queen walking in from the outside. The Queen's face was pale and pale, and her chest was angry Ups and downs, obviously with whom to argue.
Without thinking, I hid behind a tree beside me.
What am I hiding from?At this time, in order to save the crown prince, the only people the queen can ask for help are Jing Lin and Zhao Yuefu. The queen must be begging her in a low voice, right?
It's just that the body has already reacted, so I have no choice but to hide like this.
As I got closer, I heard the queen say coldly: "I have dismissed the palace servants here, so let's talk."
"What do you want me to say?"
"Zhao Yuefu, you said you could make Concubine Liu and Concubine An disappear, but what happened? Instead, they made them work together to frame the crown prince." The queen was anxious and worried.
"It's because you didn't listen to me, if Yang Qing'er hadn't been born, Concubine Liu wouldn't have bitten you back." Zhao Yuefu sneered.
"I don't care. If something happens to the prince, the plan will come to naught, and your goal will not be realized."
"Empress, it's because you are not strong-willed. If you follow my plan from the beginning, what happened today will not happen. But you are soft-hearted. The prince has today's ending. You, a mother, cannot escape the blame. "
Through the gaps in the dense leaves, I saw the Queen's fingertips trembling slightly, her eyes struggling. After a long while, she asked, "Then what should I do?"
"For the present plan, the only thing we can do is to burn the boat." Zhao Yuefu said calmly, I saw the queen's almond eyes widen suddenly, as if Zhao Yuefu had said something terrifying, I heard her tremble slightly The voice said: "Why... what is the method of breaking the boat and sinking the boat?"
"What do you think? It's obvious, isn't it? This is also the only way to save the prince."
"No, no, no." The queen shook her head repeatedly, her face pale as snow, showing the panic in her eyes even more.
"Don't you want to save the prince?"
"Of course I would, but, but..."
"But what? The prince has made such a mistake. Let alone the position of prince, he can't even save his life. As long as Concubine Liu doesn't give birth to a prince, the second prince will become a prince sooner or later. By then, you, the queen, will be nothing more than a prince." It's set up."
"Even if it's a display, you can't do that." The Queen said with a firm expression when she said this.
"Okay, I can already see your miserable end. The emperor's favorite person is Su En. Concubine Liu's plan is higher than yours, and Concubine An is with Concubine Liu. What are you left with? Crown Prince Once it's over, you won't even be able to sit in the empress position for long, either in the cold palace for the rest of your life, or in the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha for the rest of your life."
Every time Zhao Yuefu said a word, the queen's face became panicked, and her teeth bit her lips deeply, making her already pale lips even more transparent.
What are they talking about?
Are you trying to deal with Concubine Liu and Concubine An?
burn one's boats?Could it be that the empress is planning to have a life-and-death contest with concubine Liu and the others?
I really didn't expect that Zhao Yuefu and the queen, who had always been at odds, would join forces.
He was worried about the prince's safety before, but now he is not so worried.
It's just that I don't understand, the queen said just now, "If something happens to the prince, the plan will come to naught, and your goal will not be realized."Could it be that Zhao Yuefu's goal is still related to the prince?
At this time, Zhao Yuefu said again: "Think about it carefully, and send someone to tell me if you figure it out, but you'd better make a quick decision, even though the emperor ordered the prince to be beheaded in autumn, there is no guarantee that the prince will not die suddenly gone."
"What nonsense are you talking about? What died suddenly?"
"Nonsense? The Empress is becoming naive now, will Concubine Liu not take advantage of such an opportunity? Alright, I'm leaving." Zhao Yuefu walked away as she spoke, and the Empress trembled when she walked out of the threshold of the palace. A weak voice sounded, "How sure are you?"
Zhao Yuefu turned around, "I, Zhao Yuefu, don't do business at a loss."
"This is not business, it is fate, no one can afford to lose."
"Could it be that you thought I would risk my life to make a joke?"
The queen's face was pale, her eyelashes fluttered slightly, casting a heavy shadow.
The yard was too quiet, and I didn't dare to take a breath even though I was hiding in the dark.
I don't understand, do you need to hesitate and make up your mind to deal with Concubine Liu?
The queen spoke in a broken voice, "Okay, let's break the boat." After saying this, she seemed to have exhausted all her strength, and suddenly fell to the ground with a sad expression and dull eyes.
After returning to Liuyi Hall, I thought about it for several hours and still couldn't understand what Zhao Yuefu said to the empress in the afternoon.
All I know is that in order to save the prince, the queen made a major decision.
Caressing the slightly sore forehead, even if the prince is rescued, I'm afraid he won't be able to be the prince anymore.
Can't be a prince?Something seemed to flash through my mind, but I didn't catch it.
"Your concubine, you eat so little at night, the servants have made thin porridge for you specially, eat some before going to bed." San'er walked into the bedroom with the porridge bowl.
"I can't eat it."
"No, you've been eating very little recently, and you've lost a lot of weight. This servant feels distressed when you see it."
"Really not hungry."
"You must eat this porridge. I have been cooking this porridge for a long time, and I have been watching it all the time. It smells good, and it is good for your health." San'er took the porridge and said happily, "The smell is not the same, eat a little Bar."
I couldn't bear to brush San'er's expectant eyes, so I had no choice but to taste it, but I didn't expect the taste to be really good. I couldn't help but want to eat a big bowl, "It's really delicious."
San'er nodded happily, "If it's delicious, your concubine should eat more."
"it is good."
A bowl goes into my stomach very quickly. Seeing that I eat fast, San'er fills it up quickly.
When I ate the second bowl, San'er rolled her eyes and looked left and right at me around the table.
"Looking at what?" I asked wonderingly.
"Your concubine, I heard that Concubine Liu has suffered a lot from being unhappy."
I opened my eyes, "Really?" I was depressed.
"I heard that people who have just conceived a child, everything will become different from usual. Some are as shy as Concubine Liu, and others have nothing to do. There are also those who have no appetite and are only interested in very special things. , just like your concubine."
"Oh." I nodded, not understanding the meaning of San'er's words, and the next moment, I suddenly understood.
I saw San'er asking hopefully: "Your concubine, will you have..."
"Where did I go?" Intercepting San'er's words, I tapped her head lightly and said with a smile, "I don't know my own body yet?"
"But your sunflower water hasn't come this month yet?"
"These months are more than ten days late, don't think about it."
"How could this be a random thought? It's normal to have children." San'er muttered.
"I've already eaten, do you still want to let me sleep?"
"Yes, the servant has retired." San'er packed up the bowls and chopsticks full of grievances, and left the hall.
The candlelight is half floating and half sinking, sometimes faint, sometimes dazzling.
I touch my flat belly, boy?His child?
He looks so good-looking, his child must also be as cute as pink makeup and jade.
There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, maybe it would be a good thing to have a child.
I stood up suddenly.
What am I thinking?Shocked at the fact that he actually had the idea of wanting his child...
How can you have such an idea?
Didn't you decide to leave the palace?
I just felt startled and broke out in a cold sweat.
At this time, the door of the bedroom was pushed open, thinking it was San'er.
But she didn't expect it to be him——Yan Qi.
His face seemed to be much thinner, his brows were full of exhaustion, his eyes were staring at me, so cold that there was no warmth, only in the deepest part of his eyes, there was a deep affection that could not be thrown away.
At this moment, my heart throbbed.
I haven't seen him for half a month, and I always thought that I didn't miss him, but unexpectedly, the moment I met him, my thoughts came like a flood.
It's just that the reason is still there, suppressing the hot emotions that I can't ignore.
He opened his mouth coolly, with a slight smile, "I haven't seen you for so many days, I thought you would pounce on me, but it turned out that it was just my wishful thinking."
"Why didn't the emperor come here without asking someone to come over?" I said in a low voice.
"I want to see you crying with joy." He took a step forward, tapped my nose, embraced me with both hands, and sighed softly, "Wrong, the person who is crying with joy is not you, but me. "
(End of this chapter)
Seeing me stunned, the three maids whispered again.
I went back to the bedroom step by step, my head was in a mess.
too shocked.
Yang Qing'er killed Xia Qingrou?Impossible, last time, Yang Qing'er pushed Xia Qingrou into the mud pit and ran away in panic, how could she have the guts to push her into the river?
Besides, you saw the two of them talking and laughing a few days ago?
Could it be that they are acting?
There is no one around, and I am also in the dark, who are they acting for?
I do not believe.
Xia Qingrou is Zhao Yuefu's cousin. What kind of person is Zhao Yuefu? She must have bribed many palace people to protect Xia Qingrou. How could she die like this suddenly?
Unable to stay any longer, I left the Liuyi Hall, feeling as though something was about to happen.
Along the way, the palace people bowed their heads and whispered from time to time. The palace road was so continuous that no accent could be heard, and the whole palace was extremely quiet.
I stood there blankly, not knowing where to go?
"Isn't this Concubine Su Gui? It's scorching sun, where are you going?" Concubine Liu's smiling voice sounded from behind.
Turning around, I saw Concubine Liu coming slowly, followed by Aunt Suyan.
Aunt Suyan's complexion was not very good, she tried her best to smile when she saw me.
I also smiled slightly, seeing me smiling at her, Aunt Suyan's lips quivered slightly, looking a little excited.
"Su En, although we are old acquaintances, there are rules in the palace, no matter what, you should bow to me first, right?" Concubine Liu smiled, only her eyes were cold.
"I've seen Concubine Liu."
Concubine Liu snorted softly, approached me, and sized me up, "Your life is pretty big."
She made a pun.
"With the Emperor by my side, I will be lucky and blessed." I said calmly.
"Really? Emperor loves impermanence, Su Guipin must cherish it."
"Although the love of the emperor is impermanent, the concubine is so ordinary, but she can win the favor of the emperor in the palace full of flowers. Unlike those beautiful and powerful empresses who are just a flash in the pan, the concubine will cherish it and protect it for a lifetime."
Concubine Liu chuckled, "It's enough to cherish, protect? Are you not tired? How many women are there in the harem, and countless beautiful women enter the palace every three years, I really want to see how you protect this favor Yes, don't lose your wife and lose your army when the time comes."
"Xie Niangniang is concerned, two hearts promise each other, two love each other, and protection comes from the heart. This is the case with the concubine and the emperor. No matter how many women there are, the concubine believes that when I finally look back, the concubine will be that sight." hot spot."
"You're so eloquent, and being quick with your tongue will only smash you to pieces."
"The concubine just said that with the emperor by my side, the concubine is lucky and blessed, but the empress, you must be careful about the child in your womb. This child is the one that the empress has worked so hard to get." Once In the garden of Concubine Liu's palace, I heard Concubine Liu begging the emperor to give her a child, but the emperor did not agree. Obviously, Concubine Liu conceived this child with all her efforts.
It seems that I was right. Concubine Liu, who has always been calm, is obviously angry at this moment.
"what do you know?"
"The concubine doesn't know anything. Everyone in the palace wants to live, and the concubine is no exception. If one day the concubine feels in danger, in order to protect herself, she will do some bad things when forced to do so." Said After finishing, he looked intently at her flat belly.
"you dare?"
I chuckled lightly, "Look at what my aunt said, what dare I do, as long as I feel that there is no danger, then nothing will happen? flashed his waist."
I lightly blessed her, and left calmly without looking at her again.
As soon as I turned into the Crescent Gate, I gasped for breath.
What did you just say?Are those words really from my mouth?
Feel the face, not hot or red, feel the heartbeat, as usual.
He said it so naturally that he didn't even hesitate, especially when it came to the emperor.
Soothe the forehead, what's the matter, before, I would never say these words.
"My concubine, are you coming to see me?" The cool voice was close to my ear.
His body jumped up in shock, a handsome face was in front of him, it was the emperor.
Behind him, Jing Lin stood gracefully, watching all this lonely.
"Ai, Aifei?" Was he calling Aifei just now?
"Yes, aren't you my beloved concubine?" He smiled and said with an innocent face.
Staring blankly at his smile, I forgot for a moment where I was standing, and also ignored the existence of Jing Lin, the only thing in my eyes and my heart was this godlike face in front of me.
What flashed through my mind were the bits and pieces of these days, his naughtiness, his frivolity...
"My dear concubine, are you stupid?" He waved his hand in front of me.
Taking a sudden step back, I forced myself to look away from him.
His complexion changed little by little, astonishment, disbelief, impossible, impossible...
The body gradually became cold.
"Enen, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong? Why is your face so bad?" He was about to touch my cheek with one hand.
Snapped--
I waved my hand away from his touch.
At this moment, his body was a little stiff, his eyes were astonished, and after a while, he sank down and looked at me deeply, but his voice was extremely gentle, "If you feel unwell, let the palace servants call the imperial doctor, and I will come back at night." Go to see you, Jing Lin, let's go."
When turning around, Jing Lin looked at me complicatedly for a moment, and then followed his footsteps to leave.
"No, no." I shook my head and murmured, "The person I like is Tang Yu, always has been."
The footsteps of leaving were a little unsteady, and under the scorching sun, I couldn't feel the slightest temperature.
How long has it been since Tang Yu left?How can I... how can I...
No, can't be moved, can't.
How could Tang Yu be forgotten so easily?
How could you fall in love with that man so easily?
I pressed my heart with my hands, and the more I pressed it, the tighter it was, I could never, couldn't fall in love with him.
"Your concubine, what's wrong with you? You look so ugly." San'er's voice.
Looking up, I went back to Liuyi Hall, where San'er was taking out the bird's nest porridge from the copper pot.
"San'er, why are you up?" I asked, my voice weak.
"My maidservant is used to rough work, so this little injury is not a problem." San'er came over to help me sit down, "My maidservant also cooked bird's nest porridge for your concubine, eat it while it's hot." After speaking, San'er served it A bowl came.
I shook my head, "I can't eat it."
"Your concubine?"
"I want to be quiet. No matter who comes, just say that I'm not feeling well." Before San'er could ask, I quickly stepped into the inner hall.
The whole afternoon, I squatted at the corner of the bed, hugging myself tightly.
I am not a child, how can I not understand the feeling of liking someone?
If the heart moves, I have tasted that feeling.
Even if you like someone else, it shouldn't be him.
He and Tang Yu are enemies, the ones who ruined my life's happiness.
How can you like him?
I buried my face deep in my knees and held my head tightly in my hands.
It is guilt, and it is deep self-blame.
After an unknown amount of time, San'er's voice sounded from the side, "Your concubine, let's eat."
I raised my head slowly, and saw San'er setting out the bowls and chopsticks, looking at me worriedly from time to time, seeing me get out of bed, and hurried over to help me, "Are you okay?"
I shook my head and looked out the window, it was already night.
Another day passed.
Looking at the rich dishes in front of me, but no taste, I said calmly: "Take it away, I can't eat it."
"How good is this? How much have you eaten in one day?"
"Can't eat." I pushed away the chopsticks that San'er handed over.
"Why don't the servants heat it up first, and then eat when your concubine wants to eat?"
"Alright."
When the food was removed, San'er said again: "The emperor came here just now, he watched you at the door for a while and then left."
He has been here?I startled.
"Your concubine, do you have nothing to do with the emperor?"
I smiled unnaturally, "He is the emperor, what else can I have with him."
It's just that I fell in love with him, which is something I never expected.
No, you must not fall in love with him.
Let go of everything in the past, as well as hatred and resentment, but it doesn't mean that you can fall in love with him.
You can't like him either.
Not just for the past, but also for the future.
I am an ordinary person, and it is because of my ordinaryness that I can ask for a lifetime of concentration and a pair of companions.
As a noble concubine, I have no choice.
As a woman of the emperor, she can't choose.
So, be sure to seal your heart.
Clang.
It broke the silence in the hall and pulled my thoughts back.
"San'er?" I called out to where the voice came from.
No one responded.
"San'er?" No, since San'er was going to heat up the food, he should have gone to the small kitchen, but the voice came from the outer hall, San'er couldn't have come back so fast, and there is no maid on duty in Liuyi Hall habit.
After thinking about it, I got up and walked outside.
As soon as the door was opened, a black shadow hid behind the jade screen.
"Who?" I asked cautiously, and brought a vase from the side, just in case.
There was no movement inside the screen.
I walked quietly step by step.
Just as I was about to approach the screen, a figure flashed out and rushed towards me. The bottle fell to the ground with a crisp shattering sound, and I was also hit by the corner of the door, which made me dizzy.
As soon as my neck felt cold, a fragment of the bottle pressed against me, and my whole body was turned backwards. The man screamed: "Don't make a sound."
this sound?
"Yang Qing'er?" I was shocked.
"Yes, it's me." Pushing hard, she pushed me into the inner bedroom, locked the door behind her, and pointed at me with the fragments, Yang Qing'er panicked, "If you dare to speak out, I will kill you."
"Can a single piece kill me?" Just now I didn't know who it was, and I felt a little scared in my heart, but now I calmed down, looking at Yang Qing'er in front of me, with disheveled hair, torn clothes, and terrified eyes, no different from a madman.
Unexpectedly, Yang Qing'er suddenly knelt down at this moment, kowtowed to me, and said in a sad voice, "Your concubine, please save me, Xia Qingrou really wasn't killed by me, but by Concubine Liu."
"What did you say?"
"Xia Qingrou was not killed by me, but by Concubine Liu, because Xia Qingrou and I ran into her and was about to poison His Highness the Crown Prince, so she wanted to kill her to silence her. If I hadn't escaped in time, she would have killed me by now. "Yang Qing'er knelt in front of me and said, "Your concubine, you are favored by the emperor now, and only you can save me. I... I really didn't kill Xia Qingrou."
Just when I was in doubt, San'er's voice sounded from outside, "Your concubine, are you inside?"
Upon hearing San'er's voice, Yang Qing'er grabbed the corner of my clothes and begged anxiously, "Your concubine, please save me, please save me, if someone finds out, I will die."
"Your concubine?" San'er's voice was already outside the door, "Why is the door closed? Your concubine?"
"Your concubine, please help me."
Seeing that I have been surprised and silent, Yang Qing'er gritted his teeth, picked up the broken bottle and was about to stab me. At this moment, San'er kicked the door open. He hooked the stool beside him and kicked Yang Qing'er.
"Wait a minute, San'er." But it was too late.
Yang Qing'er let out a scream, hit the wall with her whole body, and passed out.
"Your concubine, are you okay?" San'er pulled me over, looked left and right nervously, and was relieved when he saw that nothing was wrong.
"San'er, why are you so strong?" I hurried over to see how Yang Qing'er was hurt, and when I saw that her forehead was swollen and there was nothing else, I let out a sigh of relief.
"Your concubine, who is she?" San'er looked strange.
"She is Yang Qing'er, the emperor's new Zhaoyi a while ago."
"That Yang Qing'er who killed Xia Zhaoyi?" San'er exclaimed.
I nodded, "But she said that Xia Qingrou was not killed by her, but by Concubine Liu. San'er, take her to your room first."
San'er was taken aback, "Shouldn't she be handed over to the queen?"
"I don't know either, maybe I should clarify things first." After thinking about it, I felt that the things that happened these days were very strange, and I couldn't tell where the strangeness was.
San'er who was carrying it suddenly put down Yang Qing'er, and said cautiously: "Your concubine, you'd better not get involved in it."
I was taken aback for a moment, I had never seen San'er like this before.
"That Mingxiu's death and Xia Zhaoyi's death have nothing to do with you. This slave feels as if there are two other forces fighting invisibly in this palace. Isn't it better for us to watch the fire from the other side? Once you take this Yang Qing'er in, you and It’s out of the question.”
"I know, but I still want to do this." San'er was right, but because of this, I had to do this, and there were many questions in my heart. What is Zhao Yuefu's great kindness?
Myung Soo is dead.
Xia Qingrou died so suddenly.
Obviously it's not aimed at me, but the struggle between the two forces of the Queen and Concubine Liu.
This shouldn't be an ordinary concubine competing for favor, if so, I shouldn't be ignored by them.
It seems that the two of them are going to fight to the death.
Many of them are for the prince's dispute.
And Zhao Yuefu was obviously also involved.
With her character, if there is no benefit, she will not lose the army and make a useless move.
The fact is before her eyes, the queen has a prince, and Concubine Liu doesn't know whether she will give birth to a prince or a princess.
And if she wants to become the number one businessman in the world, why does she want to make a deal with me?What good could such a simple request bring her?
What does it mean to show great kindness to the emperor?
She shouldn't be able to harm him, right?
With a wry smile, he said that he wanted to seal his heart, so what are the worries at this moment?
In the middle of the night, he came.
I knew he was coming, but I didn't open my eyes, pretending to be sound asleep.
His hand touched me, stroking back and forth on my cheeks, at first it was gentle and gentle, then it became softer and softer, until finally he caressed me vaguely, like pieces of feathers, making me feel The itching on his face was unbearable.
In the end, I had no choice but to pretend that I had just woken up, "The emperor is here."
"It's been a while." He said in a low voice, his midnight-black eyes filled with a deep smile.
After finishing speaking, he took the initiative to get into bed and hugged me tightly, "Go to sleep."
That night, I slept very restlessly.
I always see Tang Yu in my dreams, see his accusing eyes, and say that I am skittish, change my mind when I see a difference, and leave indifferently in the end.
"No, Tang Yu, I didn't, no, I didn't like him." She wanted to go forward to explain, but she couldn't move her foot, so she could only watch him leave.
"Don't go, Tang Yu, I only love you in my life, and I will never fall in love with anyone else." I cried and begged, but he still didn't look back at me.
I woke up suddenly, half sat up, and subconsciously shouted: "Tang Yu, don't go, I only love you, I only love you in this life, and I will never fall in love with anyone else."
When his eyes met a pair of black eyes, the voice stopped abruptly.
He heard it, and said it so loudly, how could he not have heard it?
Will he be angry?
At this moment, I can't care whether he will be angry or not. The figure of Tang Yu leaving in the dream makes me want to cry.
"Having a nightmare? Look at your head covered in cold sweat." He said softly, reaching out his hand to wipe the cold sweat on my forehead, the next moment, the outstretched hand froze in mid-air, just because I moved away.
"I heard San'er say, you didn't have dinner today, did you? I'll go and get it for you." After saying that, he was about to get out of bed.
"No." I refused coldly.
"It's still two hours before dawn. Why don't you want to eat after you've been hungry all night?"
"Don't be so nice to me." I squeezed the quilt at my hand.
He sighed softly, "I just want to be nice to you, I can't restrain myself, who made me fall in love with you."
"What I want is a couple for a lifetime, what I want is concentration and waiting for a lifetime, can you give it to me?" I asked coldly in front of the love he said.
He seems silent, but also seems to be thinking.
And I just thought he was refusing, "If I hadn't entered the palace, I wouldn't be the mother of several children by now, and my family lived happily and peacefully. This is the life I want, can you give it to me?" ?”
"I can't."
"Okay, don't want an ordinary life, can you be the only woman in your life?"
He smiled wryly, "No."
"Then what can you give me?" My voice was hoarse, my eyes were wet, I didn't know what I was asking, talking to an emperor, these words are superfluous at all, in the eyes of others, they are vexatious, and they just don't know what to do.
For me, each question adds another layer of pain.
Every time I ask, I can see where I am.
I have seen it clearly, but I am not reconciled.
Thinking of what happened recently, and thinking about these things in my head every day, my heart felt like a fire was lit, and I felt uncomfortable.
Want a place to vent.
"I can't give you anything."
I turned my head and sniffed.
The door opened and closed again.
he's gone.
I can't tell what the loss in my heart is, I just feel like crying, wanting to cry loudly.
Half an hour later, I finally calmed down, but I couldn't fall asleep anymore, so I sat on the bed wrapped in a quilt.
There was a creak, the sound of the door opening.
I looked up, and at this moment, stared at him blankly.
"Can I still sleep here tonight?" He smiled softly and said softly.
I lowered my head, moved my lips, and didn't make a sound. I just laid out the bedding and lay down, leaving half of the space.
The next day, people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs searched, but Yang Qing'er was well hidden by us, so he was not found.
"Your concubine, everything I said is true." Yang Qing'er knelt in front of her and told the story one by one, "Concubine Liu and a short man were discussing to poison the crown prince behind a rockery, but unfortunately I When Xia Qingrou heard it, she killed her to silence her. I never imagined that Concubine Liu would know martial arts, if I hadn't been clever enough to hide, I would have been killed by her right now."
Concubine Liu knows how to poison, so it's not surprising that she knows martial arts.
San'er and I looked at each other, with doubts in our hearts: Is Yang Qing'er's words credible?
"Since you didn't kill the man, why did you run away?" San'er asked.
"Can I not escape? She is Concubine Liu, and I'm just a little Zhaoyi, how can I survive this fight? Your concubine, you must save me."
I sat with my eyebrows fixed, thinking quietly, and finally I said: "I have no ability to save you, and I will not hand you over to the queen. You can go."
"Come on, where can I go? If your concubine doesn't save me, then I will stay here and not leave."
"Hey, why are you like this?" San'er's eyebrows were full of anger, "My noble concubine kindly took you in, but you are so lucky that you actually want to hang on."
"You tell me to leave now, and I'm still going to die? If that's the case, why did you save me back then?" Yang Qing'er snorted coldly, with an expression of what you can do to me.
"Do you really think we dare not give you to the empress?" San'er put his hands on his hips angrily.
"Send it, then I will bite you back."
When I got up, I looked at Yang Qing'er coldly, "It's up to you, it doesn't matter if you want to stay, food and accommodation have to be settled by yourself, this is San'er's small side room, I can't keep you, you Let's see."
Most of the summer has passed, but it is still as hot as a stove.
San'er came over with iced plum tea, "Your concubine, quench your thirst."
After taking a sip of iced plum tea, the whole body felt cool, and San'er said angrily, "It's really easy to ask the gods, but it's hard to give up the gods, this Yang Qing'er actually repays the favor with revenge."
"She is also trying to survive. As long as she can live, what is revenge for kindness?" I smiled lightly.
"Then what do we do?"
"Don't you also say that there are two forces fighting, let me watch the fire from the other side, since this is the case, let's just wait and see what happens, the two forces can't calm down because of Yang Qing'er's disappearance." Having said that, But my heart can't be calm.
For three consecutive days, there was no sign of Yang Qing'er.
San'er and I naturally wouldn't feel that she had left, she couldn't go anywhere in the huge palace.
As for him, in the past three days, I have been sleeping with him every day, but we haven't said a word to each other.
As soon as he came, he quietly hugged me and fell asleep until dawn, and then quietly left.
Wanting to break this silence, I can't speak, or I don't know how to speak.
When I saw him, when his breath wrapped around my whole body, I would think of Tang Yu and the dream I had that day.
Seems like a vicious circle.
The days passed like this.
The palace was extremely peaceful, and nothing happened.
As night fell, as usual, San'er hurried in, but today she looked depressed, "The emperor didn't turn over anyone's sign today, and went to the queen's."
"It's time to go elsewhere, Liuyi Palace can't always occupy the emperor." I pretended to be indifferent, but my hand was pricked by the embroidery needle, there was no bleeding, but it was very painful.
San'er pouted dissatisfiedly.
Putting down my embroidery work, I looked at San'er with a smile, "Did you meet the prince in the Imperial Garden today?"
"Your concubine also knows? Those three people really like to gossip." San'er muttered.
"The prince likes you very much." I asked, "What about you, do you like the prince?"
Without thinking about it, San'er nodded, "The crown prince is a little master to San'er."
"Is that all?"
"correct."
I was taken aback, why is it the master?Or half?Shouldn't it be a benefactor?
"Your concubine, do you like the emperor?" San'er rested her chin with both hands and looked at me curiously.
Do you like him?To San'er, I don't want to lie, but I really don't know how to say it, so I just said: "I don't know."
"Hey, why don't you know? If you like it, you like it, and if you don't like it, you don't like it."
"I can't tell, it's late, go to bed."
San'er nodded, and looked at me again before going out, hesitant to speak, but finally said nothing.
After spreading out the bedding, I sat on the edge of the bed for a long time, took off my clothes, and fell asleep with only my underwear on.
But I didn't expect that when I just fell asleep, the side of the bed was sunken, and the familiar breath surrounded me all of a sudden.
The body was wrapped into his arms.
Didn't he go to the queen?
As usual, I pretended to be asleep.
He hugged me quietly.
The breath of each other blends.
I don't know how long it took, but he suddenly said in my ear: "Enen, I'm very tired recently, and I have encountered a difficult problem, I don't know what to do?"
I still keep my eyes shut.
A heavy sigh made my heart inexplicably ache.
He leaned his head tightly against my neck, and his voice was muffled and pitiful, "Is your heart changed from a stone? Why don't you care about what kind of difficult problems I have encountered? What's the problem? I know you're not asleep." After speaking, he kissed her.
I was forced to open my eyes, turned my head, and said calmly: "The emperor will find a way."
He forced me to look at him, but his expression became more and more pitiful, "Enen, be nice to me, don't look at me as the emperor, but in fact I am very pitiful. Since I was a child, I have been afraid of sleeping alone because I am surrounded by people from the previous dynasty." I don't know when they will plot against me, so I have never slept peacefully."
I was stunned, he...he actually acted pitifully.
"Well, my mother has been very strict with me since I was a child. She either beat or scolded me. She said that a filial son is born from a stick. As a heir, one should stick to the stick. I am abused every day."
I didn't know how to deal with it for a while, I just looked at the lovely and pitiful face in front of me stupidly.
It's so pitiful, can it be used on men?
"Enen, you must be nice to me," he looked at me tenderly for a long while, then suddenly said, "Forget about Tang Yu, I haven't talked to you these days, just to give you enough time to think clearly, I wanted to give you some time, but I can't wait, I can't wait to talk to you."
This is the first time, when I heard the word Tang Yu from his mouth, I felt an indescribable pain in my heart.
"The past has passed and has become a memory. What you want to live in is the future, the future, and your future belongs to me." He said softly, but also forcefully demanded, "Enen, I love you, even if you I really can't forget him, and I can't deny my existence. If you treat me like this, I will be sad and discouraged."
There was also naked fragility in his eyes.
How can you not be moved at this moment?But I just can't take this step.
The hands under the quilt were tightly clenched, and the struggle in my heart became more intense.
"Great, give me a chance." He was full of expectations.
With lowered eyes, I said in a low voice, "I'm already a noble concubine, where else can I go in this life except by the emperor's side?"
"What I want is your heart."
Heart?If I gave him my heart, what would I have left?
With three thousand beauties in the harem, can he promise to keep his heart on me for the rest of his life?
Emperor's love is impermanent, and people's hearts are unpredictable. The cage of the palace is for women, and it is women who cry, and it is women who are the worst.
No, even if you like him, you will never give your heart to him.
I can't let myself get hurt again, that kind of pain, once is enough.
One more time, I'm going to die, I'm really going to die.
Only by guarding your heart and seeing the situation in front of you clearly can you survive in the palace better, isn't it?
"Your Majesty, isn't it good for us to do this?" I forced a smile.
"not good."
"Enen feels pretty good."
He looked at me deeply, a little frustrated, a little frustrated, more helpless, "How can you give your heart to me?"
"Your Majesty, I'm a little tired, can we talk about these things later?"
"This is your answer?" He smiled, very bitterly.
My heart was turbulent, but my voice was as calm as possible, "The emperor will go to court tomorrow, so he should rest earlier."
At this time, someone knocked on the door of the bedroom, and San'er's eager voice sounded outside, "Your Majesty, the empress is begging to see you."
The queen begs to see you, at this time?
Looking at him, his eyes were already cold, and he said lightly: "Give me clothes."
The main hall of Liuyi Hall.
When I saw Yang Qing'er kneeling in the middle of the hall, I couldn't help but look at San'er, and we both saw tension in each other's eyes.
Didn't Yang Qing'er say that she would not leave Liuyi Hall?
How did the queen catch her?
"What's going on?" He frowned and looked at the queen.
"Your majesty has seen that the concubine has captured Yang Qing'er, do you know where the concubine caught Yang Qing'er?" The queen looked at me with prickly eyes, "Just outside the wall of Liuyi Hall, this lowly maid is turning over The wall fled and was hit by the palace man."
"Oh? Then the queen should have been interrogated, right?"
"It's okay if there is no trial, the first trial will let the concubine find out a big secret." The queen looked at Yang Qing'er who was kneeling in the middle, "Tell the emperor what you said just now."
Yang Qing'er trembled, and stammered: "I didn't kill Xia Zhaoyi, but Concubine Liu did. Concubine Liu and a short man discussed poisoning the prince behind a rockery. Unfortunately, Xia Zhaoyi and I overheard her. I was smart enough to avoid death by hiding, and later...later," Yang Qing'er gave me a frightened look, and said, "I entered Liuyi Hall in a panic, and bumped into your concubine, your concubine He took me in."
"Why did your concubine take you in?" the queen asked.
"Because, because your concubine said that she didn't like Xia Zhaoyi in the past, and she was often angry with her when she was Xia Zhaoyi's personal maid. She wanted to thank me for getting rid of this harm for her. She also said that she would send me out of the palace." , but within a few days, she went back on her word again, and I was afraid that your concubine would kill me, so I had to run away. Your Majesty, I really didn't kill Xia Zhaoyi, but Concubine Liu did it."
"Bloody mouth." Faced with Yang Qing'er's nonsense, San'er was about to step forward to reason, but I stopped him.
"Your concubine." The queen looked at me coldly, "Do you have something to say?"
I looked at the empress calmly, "If you want to commit a crime, why is there no excuse? This move by the empress will not only bring down concubine Liu, but also make this concubine helpless."
"Want to impose a crime? Do you think I'm relying on you?" the queen asked angrily.
"I dare not."
"Okay, I'll let you be convinced, come here, and call those three palace servants up." As soon as the queen's voice fell, the only three palace servants in Liuyi Palace immediately came in, knelt in front of the emperor, and a court lady said: " The servants saw it with their own eyes. That night, Yang Zhaoyi sneaked in and broke a vase. The two went into the bedroom, and San'er also went in later. After that, Yang Zhaoyi lived in San'er's small side room. "
"The slaves have also seen it." The other two maids echoed.
"You?" San'er was so angry that he pointed at the trembling fingers of the three of them.
"Your concubine, I asked you to answer it yourself. Is everything they said true?"
Looking at the few people kneeling in front of me, I suddenly understood that this was a game in itself, a trick the Queen asked me to take advantage of.
How can I answer?Even if they were telling the truth, what these three people said was the truth. Yang Qing'er sneaked in, broke a vase, and entered the bedroom...
"Yang Zhaoyi, I asked you something, why don't you answer quickly?" The queen's voice became more and more serious, "Is what they said true?"
His voice was stuck in his throat, no matter what he said, he would be condemned.
It's helplessness, it's suffering, and even refuting is a luxury. This is the palace, a place where people can eat people without spit out their bones.
As soon as I gritted my teeth, I was about to answer, but a cold voice sounded at this moment, "Queen, it seems that you have forgotten that I have been in Liuyi Palace these days, and Concubine Su Gui has never left my side, so what? Possibly in contact with others?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was startled.
The eyes of the three palace servants and Yang Qing'er all fell on the queen, as if they were asking what to do.
The queen's face turned blue and white.
And I, staring at him blankly, couldn't believe that he would help me with such a thing.
Just when I looked at him complicatedly, he took advantage of everyone's surprise and blinked at me.
I froze on the spot, and at a time like this, he still...
Okay, I'm not used to it.
And the shock, torment, and helplessness completely disappeared because of his small gesture.
"Your majesty, even if your concubine is sleeping every day, you and her are not stuck together every day. There are so many people watching this matter. Could it be that they are all lying?" The queen unconsciously raised her voice.
"The empress means that they are not lying, but I am lying to protect Concubine Su?"
"Chen and concubine dare not."
"I think there must be some misunderstanding. The queen should check it out."
The empress gritted her silver teeth, stared at me, and said for a long while: "Yes, the concubine will definitely check it out. What about Concubine Liu, Concubine Liu is poisonous..." Before the next words were finished, the people in the palace turned pale. He ran in and knelt down in front of the emperor, "Your Majesty, empress, it's not good. Concubine Liu suddenly vomited a lot of blood and passed out."
"What?" There was a layer of coldness between the Queen's eyebrows, "How could she vomit blood and pass out?"
"What happened?" His voice was extremely calm, and he met my eyes unexpectedly.
I turned my head in panic.
"I don't know about this maidservant, but Concubine Liu wanted to see the second prince, but she vomited blood and fell into a coma as soon as she picked him up," the palace servant reported tremblingly.
"Is the imperial doctor passed on?" the emperor asked.
"It has been sent."
"I'm going to take a look." After he finished speaking to me, he walked out quickly and quickly disappeared into the night.
The palace people followed quickly.
For a moment, Liuyi Hall became quiet.
Since the emperor left, the queen's eyes fell on me like a knife.
And I only looked at the back of the emperor, and I didn't look back until he disappeared.
"Su En, what a great skill." Still couldn't help it, the queen was aggressive.
"Shouldn't the Empress be worried about some tricks that Concubine Liu has used?" I looked at her calmly, my face was not as expressive as hers.
The queen took a step closer to me, and asked bitterly: "Are you on the side of this palace or the side of Concubine Liu?"
"Is there a difference? Didn't the empress just want to frame me?"
"It's my palace who underestimated you. I didn't expect the emperor to love you so much, and even destroyed his promise not to interfere with the harem." Her eyes didn't know whether it was jealousy or hatred.
"Empress?" Aunt Lian's voice had already come in before the people of Aunt Lian entered the hall, which also blocked what I wanted to say.
When Aunt Lian stood in front of the queen, beads of sweat kept falling from her forehead.
The Queen's Palace is only a few corridors away from here, what made her leave in such a hurry?
When she whispered in the queen's ear, she saw the queen's face changed, panic flashed in her eyes, and she walked out in three steps at a time, her footsteps seemed messy, as if something extremely serious had happened.
The lively scene suddenly became cold again. What did Aunt Lian say to the empress?
San'er and I looked at each other, both felt that things were unusual.
San'er let out a sigh of relief, "It's really dangerous just now, it seems that it was premeditated from the beginning, the queen is too insidious, kill two birds with one stone, it can not only get rid of Concubine Liu, but also drag the noble concubine into trouble."
I sighed, when will Gongdou end?
It was only after I relaxed that I realized how tense I was just now.
After so many things, I should be more calm and calm. Obviously, I still haven't adapted.
"Your concubine, drink some tea to calm your shock." San'er poured the tea, eyes full of envy, "The emperor treats you so well, even helping your concubine without asking anything, it shows how much the emperor trusts your concubine."
Yeah, it really surprised me.
In the past, he never cared about the affairs of the harem, let alone intervening in the battles between the harem. He once said, "My woman must be able to withstand and deal with the harem, otherwise I will not pity her." ".
"I won't help one of them."
Now, he helped me without even asking.
I started struggling again.
In the end, I still hardened my heart and said: "Sleep, there should be nothing more tonight." It is the Queen's Palace and Concubine Liu's Palace that are busy.
Sure enough, the next day, the news came.
Concubine Liu was poisoned, and the poison was placed by the crown prince.
When the prince heard that concubine Liu was going to poison him, he acted first.
Fortunately, both Concubine Liu and the fetus in her womb were safe.
The prince was locked in a dungeon.
For several days, he did not come to Liuyi Hall, nor did he go to other concubines, but stayed in Zhaoyang Hall.
Presumably the matter of the prince is extremely difficult.
And I didn't take half a step out of the Liuyi Hall, but whenever night falls, my eyes will always look at the door of the hall intentionally or unintentionally, expecting something.
What to expect?
Everyone knows it, but I myself don't want to admit it.
He kept telling himself that once he admitted it, he would never be himself again after leaving the palace.
And he, one day, a woman will appear beside me to take my place.
One leaf falls and autumn is known.
San'er entered the palace gate in panic, panting for me with a pale face.
Putting down the hot tea in my hand, I asked, "What happened?"
The atmosphere in the palace was extremely tense, seeing San'er's appearance, my heart also sank.
"Too... the crown prince will... be beheaded after the autumn." San'er pursed his dry lips.
"Beheaded?" It was a very unfamiliar word. I opened my eyes for a long time before I came to my senses, and jumped up, "The prince is going to be beheaded?"
San'er nodded, "It turns out that the prince's key targets are Concubine Liu and the second prince. This kind of poison can only take effect with the combination of two scents. The prince and concubine Liu put poisonous powder on their bodies."
There are many things that are not enough to surprise me, but the prince, that child who always shows awkward feelings, sometimes sunny, sometimes arrogant, when did he become so scheming?
Thinking of his changes, I have to believe it again.
"Your concubine, do you think the emperor will really kill the prince?" San'er asked eagerly.
"I don't know." It happened so suddenly.
There was deep regret in San'er's eyes, "I don't think the prince is bad, your concubine, where are you going?"
"I'm going to see the queen." I hurried out of Liuyi Hall.
Both the queen and the prince are people Tang Yu has always wanted to protect during his lifetime. I don't want anything to happen to them.
Stepping into the Queen's Palace, there was no one there. I entered the courtyard and didn't see any palace people moving around. I felt strange and was about to go out. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Zhao Yuefu and the Queen walking in from the outside. The Queen's face was pale and pale, and her chest was angry Ups and downs, obviously with whom to argue.
Without thinking, I hid behind a tree beside me.
What am I hiding from?At this time, in order to save the crown prince, the only people the queen can ask for help are Jing Lin and Zhao Yuefu. The queen must be begging her in a low voice, right?
It's just that the body has already reacted, so I have no choice but to hide like this.
As I got closer, I heard the queen say coldly: "I have dismissed the palace servants here, so let's talk."
"What do you want me to say?"
"Zhao Yuefu, you said you could make Concubine Liu and Concubine An disappear, but what happened? Instead, they made them work together to frame the crown prince." The queen was anxious and worried.
"It's because you didn't listen to me, if Yang Qing'er hadn't been born, Concubine Liu wouldn't have bitten you back." Zhao Yuefu sneered.
"I don't care. If something happens to the prince, the plan will come to naught, and your goal will not be realized."
"Empress, it's because you are not strong-willed. If you follow my plan from the beginning, what happened today will not happen. But you are soft-hearted. The prince has today's ending. You, a mother, cannot escape the blame. "
Through the gaps in the dense leaves, I saw the Queen's fingertips trembling slightly, her eyes struggling. After a long while, she asked, "Then what should I do?"
"For the present plan, the only thing we can do is to burn the boat." Zhao Yuefu said calmly, I saw the queen's almond eyes widen suddenly, as if Zhao Yuefu had said something terrifying, I heard her tremble slightly The voice said: "Why... what is the method of breaking the boat and sinking the boat?"
"What do you think? It's obvious, isn't it? This is also the only way to save the prince."
"No, no, no." The queen shook her head repeatedly, her face pale as snow, showing the panic in her eyes even more.
"Don't you want to save the prince?"
"Of course I would, but, but..."
"But what? The prince has made such a mistake. Let alone the position of prince, he can't even save his life. As long as Concubine Liu doesn't give birth to a prince, the second prince will become a prince sooner or later. By then, you, the queen, will be nothing more than a prince." It's set up."
"Even if it's a display, you can't do that." The Queen said with a firm expression when she said this.
"Okay, I can already see your miserable end. The emperor's favorite person is Su En. Concubine Liu's plan is higher than yours, and Concubine An is with Concubine Liu. What are you left with? Crown Prince Once it's over, you won't even be able to sit in the empress position for long, either in the cold palace for the rest of your life, or in the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha for the rest of your life."
Every time Zhao Yuefu said a word, the queen's face became panicked, and her teeth bit her lips deeply, making her already pale lips even more transparent.
What are they talking about?
Are you trying to deal with Concubine Liu and Concubine An?
burn one's boats?Could it be that the empress is planning to have a life-and-death contest with concubine Liu and the others?
I really didn't expect that Zhao Yuefu and the queen, who had always been at odds, would join forces.
He was worried about the prince's safety before, but now he is not so worried.
It's just that I don't understand, the queen said just now, "If something happens to the prince, the plan will come to naught, and your goal will not be realized."Could it be that Zhao Yuefu's goal is still related to the prince?
At this time, Zhao Yuefu said again: "Think about it carefully, and send someone to tell me if you figure it out, but you'd better make a quick decision, even though the emperor ordered the prince to be beheaded in autumn, there is no guarantee that the prince will not die suddenly gone."
"What nonsense are you talking about? What died suddenly?"
"Nonsense? The Empress is becoming naive now, will Concubine Liu not take advantage of such an opportunity? Alright, I'm leaving." Zhao Yuefu walked away as she spoke, and the Empress trembled when she walked out of the threshold of the palace. A weak voice sounded, "How sure are you?"
Zhao Yuefu turned around, "I, Zhao Yuefu, don't do business at a loss."
"This is not business, it is fate, no one can afford to lose."
"Could it be that you thought I would risk my life to make a joke?"
The queen's face was pale, her eyelashes fluttered slightly, casting a heavy shadow.
The yard was too quiet, and I didn't dare to take a breath even though I was hiding in the dark.
I don't understand, do you need to hesitate and make up your mind to deal with Concubine Liu?
The queen spoke in a broken voice, "Okay, let's break the boat." After saying this, she seemed to have exhausted all her strength, and suddenly fell to the ground with a sad expression and dull eyes.
After returning to Liuyi Hall, I thought about it for several hours and still couldn't understand what Zhao Yuefu said to the empress in the afternoon.
All I know is that in order to save the prince, the queen made a major decision.
Caressing the slightly sore forehead, even if the prince is rescued, I'm afraid he won't be able to be the prince anymore.
Can't be a prince?Something seemed to flash through my mind, but I didn't catch it.
"Your concubine, you eat so little at night, the servants have made thin porridge for you specially, eat some before going to bed." San'er walked into the bedroom with the porridge bowl.
"I can't eat it."
"No, you've been eating very little recently, and you've lost a lot of weight. This servant feels distressed when you see it."
"Really not hungry."
"You must eat this porridge. I have been cooking this porridge for a long time, and I have been watching it all the time. It smells good, and it is good for your health." San'er took the porridge and said happily, "The smell is not the same, eat a little Bar."
I couldn't bear to brush San'er's expectant eyes, so I had no choice but to taste it, but I didn't expect the taste to be really good. I couldn't help but want to eat a big bowl, "It's really delicious."
San'er nodded happily, "If it's delicious, your concubine should eat more."
"it is good."
A bowl goes into my stomach very quickly. Seeing that I eat fast, San'er fills it up quickly.
When I ate the second bowl, San'er rolled her eyes and looked left and right at me around the table.
"Looking at what?" I asked wonderingly.
"Your concubine, I heard that Concubine Liu has suffered a lot from being unhappy."
I opened my eyes, "Really?" I was depressed.
"I heard that people who have just conceived a child, everything will become different from usual. Some are as shy as Concubine Liu, and others have nothing to do. There are also those who have no appetite and are only interested in very special things. , just like your concubine."
"Oh." I nodded, not understanding the meaning of San'er's words, and the next moment, I suddenly understood.
I saw San'er asking hopefully: "Your concubine, will you have..."
"Where did I go?" Intercepting San'er's words, I tapped her head lightly and said with a smile, "I don't know my own body yet?"
"But your sunflower water hasn't come this month yet?"
"These months are more than ten days late, don't think about it."
"How could this be a random thought? It's normal to have children." San'er muttered.
"I've already eaten, do you still want to let me sleep?"
"Yes, the servant has retired." San'er packed up the bowls and chopsticks full of grievances, and left the hall.
The candlelight is half floating and half sinking, sometimes faint, sometimes dazzling.
I touch my flat belly, boy?His child?
He looks so good-looking, his child must also be as cute as pink makeup and jade.
There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, maybe it would be a good thing to have a child.
I stood up suddenly.
What am I thinking?Shocked at the fact that he actually had the idea of wanting his child...
How can you have such an idea?
Didn't you decide to leave the palace?
I just felt startled and broke out in a cold sweat.
At this time, the door of the bedroom was pushed open, thinking it was San'er.
But she didn't expect it to be him——Yan Qi.
His face seemed to be much thinner, his brows were full of exhaustion, his eyes were staring at me, so cold that there was no warmth, only in the deepest part of his eyes, there was a deep affection that could not be thrown away.
At this moment, my heart throbbed.
I haven't seen him for half a month, and I always thought that I didn't miss him, but unexpectedly, the moment I met him, my thoughts came like a flood.
It's just that the reason is still there, suppressing the hot emotions that I can't ignore.
He opened his mouth coolly, with a slight smile, "I haven't seen you for so many days, I thought you would pounce on me, but it turned out that it was just my wishful thinking."
"Why didn't the emperor come here without asking someone to come over?" I said in a low voice.
"I want to see you crying with joy." He took a step forward, tapped my nose, embraced me with both hands, and sighed softly, "Wrong, the person who is crying with joy is not you, but me. "
