concubines

Chapter 258 Doing Numbers
Zhou Shuxuan felt that his eyes were dazzled, and he actually saw Miao Li with a faint smile on her face, sarcasm in her eyes, and she looked like a ghost.

"You... you woke up."

Miao Li snorted lightly and said, "Yes, I'm awake. You can continue to torture me until you are satisfied."

"I... No, I never thought of torturing you, never." A few words made him feel extremely guilty, and he didn't even believe it.

Things have turned into this, and the word torture can be more than enough.

"Since there isn't one, why are you stammering? You should say this with confidence and refuse to admit it."

Zhou Shuxuan still wanted to explain, "I really...have never..."

"Yes, you have never had it. It has nothing to do with you that I was hungry for three days and three nights, because you don't know. It has nothing to do with you that my child will be gone as soon as you come back. It's not that you grabbed me and asked the child Whose is it, they are not allowed to invite a doctor. These have nothing to do with you, that's what you mean, right?"

"I..." Zhou Shuxuan saw the glint of water in her eyes, tears could not stop falling down.I just felt something stuck in my throat, and I couldn't say a single extra word.

"I don't want to see you anymore, you go."

Zhou Shuxuan was silent for a while, and said with little confidence: "I am also very sad that the child is gone."

Miao Li smiled and asked: "Are you feeling uncomfortable too? Do you also have a heart?"

"I……"

Miao Li turned back with difficulty, not wanting to see him again.

Gao Fu hurried back and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine An wants to see you."

Zhou Shuxuan glanced at the bed again, Miao Li was unmoved at all.He said to Gao Fu, "No, I'll execute the sentence directly."

"But……"

"Get out!" Zhou Shuxuan shouted, and Gao Fu had no choice but to back out.

They were the only ones left in the room. Zhou Shuxuan looked at her and still wanted to explain, "I..."

Miao Li exhausted all her strength and roared, "I told you not to talk, I don't want to see you again, it's useless to say anything, get out!"

What else can be said, do you think you can forgive him?All the suffering was brought by him, why should he forgive him?
When people outside heard Miaoli's voice, they all came in.

Mother Xi came over and pulled Zhou Shuxuan, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, let's go out first."

He's here, it doesn't do Miao Li any good.

Zhou Shuxuan closed his eyes, and didn't dare to say anything, afraid that she would become more emotional, so he went out with his head down.

Jie Bizhi also heard the voice, stood at the door to relieve his mood, and then walked in.Looking at Miaoli's situation with a blank face, there is still no major problem, at least her life is safe.Ask: "Is there anything uncomfortable?"

Miao Li shook her head mechanically, she felt uncomfortable all over her body.But she didn't want to live anymore, and she didn't want to seek medical treatment.

"Someone tampered with your medicine, which caused the tire slippage. It would be useless for me to come earlier. There is no way." Jie Bizhi explained, which was equivalent to explaining for Zhou Shuxuan.

He never thought that he would do this, and it was also for the good of Miao Li, so that she would torture himself less if she complained less.

Miao Li said after a long time, "It doesn't make any sense anymore."

Her child is gone, what's the point of pursuing these?Even if she knew who was harming her, her child would not be able to come back.

Jie Bizhi didn't know what to say anymore, he just did what a doctor should do and said, "I'll prescribe some medicine for you, try to rest in bed during this period, and you'll get better gradually."

Afterwards, the atmosphere in Qingquan Palace was too sluggish, no one dared to speak loudly, and walked on tiptoe.

Geng Qingru was finally killed by the stick, without even giving a more formal reason.Princess Changping quarreled and quarreled, but in the end there was still no result, so he could only accept it and silently took the corpse back.

The trend in the palace seems to have undergone earth-shaking changes, and there was one less empress who was originally not many.

Lin Yanchi was still sitting in the palace drinking tea, not worried that the fire would burn himself.Once Geng Qingru died, she would be safe.It has been said for a long time that who is stupid and who is smart is not sure, but now it can be seen that the really stupid people are dead.

Geng Qingru is dead, Miaoli's child is gone, Zhou Shuxuan feels guilty and painful, Li Youfu is sad for Miaoli, Lin Yanchi is the only one in the palace who is happy.

But going on like this is definitely not a long-term solution, one day the fire will burn her body, so she can't be alone, there should be a few more people in the palace.

She felt that such a fight was meaningless a long time ago, the emperor could not like them, nor could he accept them.Even if Miao Li is dead, the emperor probably won't take a second look at them.

But she really wants to see if there is really an unchangeable heart and an unbreakable true love in this world, especially the emperor's heart, the emperor's feelings.Even if it really existed, she would still feel happy if she could destroy it with her own hands.

Anyway, she doesn't expect to be happy, just treat it as a game.

After Jie Bizhi came to look at Miaoli for a few days, he didn't come again, it was really uncomfortable to see more.If this continues, he himself will get sick, so he would rather take care of Liu Er than Miao Li.

Lu Guangbai had no choice but to pass, no matter how inconvenient it was.He knew that his existence would be a hidden danger to Miaoli sooner or later, so he had already avoided suspicion, and it turned out like this.

The human heart is dirty.

Now Miaoli's medicine is all boiled by them, and it will not pass through other people's hands.Lu Guangbai brought the boiled medicine to the bed, Miao Li took it habitually, and drank it habitually.The whole action is done in one go, without any emotion.

No one would feel better seeing her like this, Lu Guangbai thought for a while, and persuaded: "Eat something anyway, otherwise no matter how much medicine you drink, it will be useless."

Miao Li handed over the medicine bowl, looked at the quilt and said, "But I have no appetite, I don't want to eat anything."

Before being in a bad mood, it could be said that she worked hard to eat more food for the sake of the child, but now she is alone.

"But..." Lu Guangbai wanted to persuade her that she must eat to survive, and knowing that she didn't want to live long ago, he changed the subject and said, "But Liu'er is still clamoring to see the godmother. I was going to take him with her today." Come here. If you go on like this, you won't be able to hold him in the future. "

When mentioning the child, Miao Li seemed to regain some energy, and said: "When you just took him back, he was only a small one, and he was afraid that his little arms and legs would be broken when you held him in your hands. In the blink of an eye It’s already so much effort, I still remember that we milked the deer to feed him.”

If her child is born, it will grow up slowly and call her mother, but unfortunately she has no chance to hear it.

Lu Guangbai said along with her words: "Yes, I have no experience for the first time, and I was kicked by the deer, and I suffered from the injury for several days."

Miao Li went on to say: "I still remember that before, Master asked you to go out to collect herbs, but you could never find a few plants. Then you came back with a bag of mushrooms, wild vegetables and various wild fruits. I will kill a rabbit, catch a pheasant, and turn it into a square one to cook for me. The angry master will drive you down the mountain and ask you to open a restaurant and be a cook. Don’t study medicine with him.”

At that time, Lu Guangbai saw that she was too thin and only ate a little of everything, so he tried every means to get her to eat more, so he devoted all his thoughts to cooking for her.At that time, he still claimed to be a scholar, and he didn't even care about the gentleman far away from the kitchen.

"What's more, seeing how violent he is, he eats the most every time. Later, he will order food, tell me what he wants to eat every day, and even hook me down the mountain to buy wine for him." Lu Guangbai smiled and said Miao Li said this, try to say as many happy things as possible to make her feel better.

Miao Li said a few more words, "That sweet and sour wild fruit, I have to eat a lot of it every time. I don't know what it is called now, and I can't find it if I want to eat it."

"Didn't you give him a name? You want to eat fruit after eating it, but I don't know what other people call it. But I haven't seen it sold in other places. It seems to be called Zhaoyun Mountain. It looks like Qiuzi. , but it doesn’t taste like it, I’ve never seen it before.”

There was also a little smile on Miao Li's face. It turned out that the ordinary life on the mountain was the happiest period of time for her, and she has never been so happy since then.

Sometimes she wondered if it hadn't been such a coincidence and Zhou Shuxuan hadn't happened to appear there, would it have been another result.Could it be that after a long, long time, she was finally moved by Lu Guangbai, then accepted him, and lived a different life.

If she had persisted a bit more at that time and had not forgiven Zhou Shuxuan, these things would not have happened later.

Unfortunately, there are not so many ifs.

Miao Li lowered her head and did not speak again.

Lu Guangbai took the initiative to speak again and said, "If you like it, I can go back and pick some for you now, and you can eat it tomorrow. If you want to eat anything else, just tell me."

She doesn't have anything to eat now, and she has never been a person with a good appetite.

Miao Li suddenly raised her head, looked into his eyes and asked: "You said that day in the palace that if one day I can't stay here any longer, I can find you anytime, do you still count?"

Lu Guangbai nodded without hesitation, "Do the math."

"I'm really embarrassed to trouble you again and again." Miao Li said, covering her face, "If you still count, can you please give me a pill, I don't want to wake up tomorrow morning. Every day I live is uncomfortable, the pain is unbearable, I really can't go on. I know you want me to live, but I really can't do it. I have worked hard, but there is really no way .I don't want to, not at all."

In this world, there is nothing worthy of her nostalgia.

How could Lu Guangbai let her die, so he paused, and after careful consideration, he said, "I'll take you out, let's go back to Zhaoyun Mountain or go to other places, and pretend nothing happened."

Miao Li was silent for a while, then nodded.
