Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

"Why haven't you changed? When did you come back?"

I also glanced down at myself, and said lightly, "I've been back long ago, but I just walked outside for a while."

He hesitated, looking back at me, as if he was about to ask a question, and I had already asked in advance: "Yes, when I just came back, I heard Miss Han was making noises over there, what were they doing?"

He was silent for a moment and said, "Today is her birthday."

"..."

"Their birthday."

"Really? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Looking at your recent bad mood, if I tell you, it would be even more uncomfortable to go there. Isn't it?"

I glanced back at his gentle eyes and nodded gently.

He smiled, came over and took my hand to sit down, and I went back to the house for a while, but my fingertips were still slightly cold. He felt it immediately, took the teapot on the table and poured me a cup of tea. Come to me, holding my hands and holding the teapot.

I looked up at him. Although I couldn't smile on my face, my eyes were still tender.

He said, "Yes, how about going to Yangzhou today?"

"..."

As soon as he said this, I held my teacup's fingers and convulsed subconsciously, raised my head to look at him, but saw that he was also looking at me, and said with a burning gaze: "What does Yuanzhang say?"

I thought about it and lowered my head: "Liu Qinghan pleaded guilty, and the emperor convicted him."

"then you--"

"I begged, too, but it didn't work. The day after tomorrow will be executed."

After listening to this sentence, Pei Yuanxiu didn't speak for a while, and it took a while before he reached out and gently covered the back of my hand. He softly said, "This is the end of the matter, don't be too sad."

My eye circles were slightly red: "Liu Qinghan is a good person, he should not have this result."

"But killing lives and Yuan Zhen's death should also be undertaken by someone."

"..."

Looking at my eyes red, but only lowering my head and not talking, he was silent for a while, holding my hand tighter, and said softly: "I know you're upset, so let me go with you to Yangzhou , Send him the last trip. "

I froze and looked up at him: "Are you going with me ... to send him?"

"Well." He raised one hand and stroked my cheek gently. "But you promised me to cheer up. No matter what you've experienced, after this-you can only end it."

"..."

The candlelight on the table seemed to be in the mood at the moment. It kept shaking and swaying. I couldn't speak for a while, just staring at him through the candlelight. The temperature of the orange candlelight was so gentle that the palms ironed on my cheeks were warm.

"Promise me, after this incident, forget him completely."

"..."

I looked at him for a long time, and finally nodded my head slightly: "Um."

He smiled, and then held my hand: "Come, take a rest."

I was led by him to stand up, and when I got to the bed, I said, "Yes, Yuan Xiu, I have something to tell you."

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"Illness about coquettish words."

"Beauty's illness?" He sat at the edge of the bed, looked up at me, and I sat next to him, saying, "I went to the emperor. I think the opportunities that the people find are also very small. Before Yao Lao also said another method, it is to let people who are proficient in Yi Jing call for magic words and deeds. "

Pei Yuanxiu's brow frowned slightly, and he immediately felt sensitively: "Is there such a person in Beijing?"

"Ok."

"who?"

"An old priest."

"Old Taoist?" He frowned, thinking, and murmured, "I once heard that there was a Taoist beside Father Emperor. It is said that he has a deep spiritual practice and can call the wind and the rain. Is it--"

I said, "It's him."

Pei Yuan Xiu said: "Yuan Zhen wants to put wonderful words into the palace?"

I nodded.

Instead of speaking immediately, he groaned for a long time, then looked up at me: "What do you think?"

"I don't know. I want to ask your opinion."

"I……"

He thought for a while, and said, "This matter, I have to think about it, after all, it is not a trivial matter."

I nodded.

He smiled and patted me on the shoulder again. "Get some rest."

When I woke up the next day, there was a bright room. I looked at the veil above my head, and the golden threads illuminated by the sun. It took a while for the **** to hear the uniform and long sound coming from my ears. The sound of breathing.

Turning around, Pei Yuanxiu faced me, still asleep.

Somewhat unexpectedly, he usually woke up earlier than me. Often when I was asleep, he was already well-groomed, probably the habit left by his past life. He hardly slept on the bed, but today it seems that the weather is no longer It was early, but he was still asleep, and his calm and peaceful sleep seemed particularly comfortable.

I turned my head and looked at him like this, feeling his breath blowing softly across his neck.

I don't know how long I've been watching quietly like this, his eyelashes trembled slightly. After a while, his eyes opened a line, and there was a blurry and lazy light inside. When he looked at me, he seemed unconscious. , Chaos for a while, came over and kissed on my lips.

I blinked, still watching him quietly.

And after he fell the kiss, it seemed that people were awake, and his eyes were a little clearer, and he returned to look at me: "Green baby."

"you're awake."

"Well." He said, looking at me again: "You woke up so early?"

"Ok."

"Still not asleep?"

As he said, he reached out and rubbed the corners of my red eyes, and I said lightly, "It's not that I didn't sleep, but I didn't sleep well."

He said, "Are you still worried about that?"

"..." I lowered my eyelids and didn't speak, and he came over again and kissed my eyes gently. When I looked up at him, almost his eyes became a little confused because of his kiss. When he got up, he said softly, "Things are settled, so don't think about it anymore. It will always pass."

"..."

I didn't speak, but just bowed my head again, then nodded.

Then he sat up and put on the clothes hanging on the hangers next to the bed. When he was neatly dressed, I also slowly got up from the bed, but I do n’t know whether it was because I had been lying down for too long and I did n’t sleep well Together, I felt dizzy and almost fell off the bed.

When he looked back, I saw my ugly face, and he sat down and held my shoulder: "What's wrong?"

I looked at his anxious and concerned eyes and shook his head lightly: "It's okay, it might get fierce and a little dizzy."

"I didn't sleep well." He rubbed my shoulders. "I'll wait for a while, and you can rest for a while."

"Ok."

Then I got up and got dressed. Xiao Ni and Xi Xi came to serve us to wash. After having breakfast, a bowl of soup medicine was placed in front of me.

When I saw the muddy soup, I frowned suddenly: "This is--"

Pei Yuanxiu said: "When I heard you talking last night, my nasal sound was a bit heavy, and I did n’t sleep well tonight, and my face was even more ugly. I asked Yao Lao to fry a medicine for you, and you drank it obediently Don't break your body. "

After hearing what he said, I couldn't say anything more. I just pinched my nose and poured the bowl of bitter potion obediently.

After watching me drink, he just smiled at ease. I was about to turn to Su Su if they had any sweet things for me to pass. Pei Yuanxiu suddenly said: "Yes, about the wonderful words thing--"

I looked back at him.

He said, "I thought about it. If that Taoist spirituality is really the only chance for wonderful words, then let her try it."

"..."

"She is still young, and she has such a long life. She shouldn't let her live like this."

"..."

My heart leaped, "Is it."

"Of course, you still have to decide on this matter. After all, you are the mother-in-law of the wonderful words."

"Um." I nodded slightly.

"But," he said suddenly, and said, "Even if you let Miaoyan follow the emperor back to Beijing, you can't go."

"..."

I looked up at him.

He also looked into my eyes, his gaze was sober, and he said, "I can send someone to accompany her, or I can think of other ways, but you can't go."

"I--"

"Green baby," he said, reaching over the back of the hand I placed on the table, and calmly but firmly saying, "You should understand what the situation will be if you return to Beijing. The imperial city is past How many years will I be able to shut you down, and how many years will I be able to shut you down in the future, and even-in the second half of your life. "

"..."

"I can promise anything, but that alone cannot."

"..."

"You are my wife. I can't let you take that kind of risk. In particular, I can't let you go back to the emperor."

"..."

"This is the only thing I can't compromise."

"..."

I do n’t know if it was just after drinking the bowl of medicine, the bitterness in his mouth almost spread down his throat, and his words provoked the pain of my old wounds, especially when I was kept in the cold palace. In those years, it was like a nightmare. Even if I forgot myself again, in a word, I would fall into a state of helplessness and despair.

Seeing that my face was getting paler, Pei Yuanxiu's hand on the back of my hand was also slightly harder, interlocking with my fingers.

"You baby, did you hear me?"

"..."

I looked up at him, half a moment, and nodded slightly.

His solemn complexion only eased a little bit, and smiled a little, then he said, "Well, if you want to send wonderful words into the palace, you should consider it yourself. If any manpower is needed, I will definitely arrange it properly. . "

I nodded again: "I see."

He also seemed to see it. Although I was very calm, my emotions were still quite tangled. For the illness of the wonderful words, it is already the rock that weighs the most in my heart these days, and whether to send her to the palace or not is related The future of coquettish words is also almost related to the second half of my life. I can't be careful.

So, he told Susu them a few more words, so that they can serve me well and don't be tired of me, then he turned away from the inner courtyard and left me to think quietly. After he left, Xiao Ni, they came to clean up the table, Su Su took clean water to gargle my mouth, spit out the bitter fishy smell, and gave me a small dish of plums. mouth.

As soon as I saw it, I looked up at Su Su and smiled and said, "You are so careful. Su Su, if this time you are here, I really don't know what to do."

Although it is not a compliment, this sentence seems to be more useful to Susu than any compliment. Her eyes were slightly bent, and she said to me, "Then I will stay with the young lady all the time. Accompany. "

I shook my head: "But I don't need you to stay with me."

"why?!"

Seeing her anxious look, I smiled slightly and said, "I'm not going to drive you away, but, if possible, I hope you can always stay with the wonderful words."

"Miss Miu Yan ...?"

"Yes. She's like this now, and I don't know when it will be her chance, and how to cure her. So she must not be without you."

When I said this, Susu's face also became a little serious, and she said, "Then, I will always stay with Miss Miaoyan."

"..."

"Miss, don't worry, as long as Miao Yan's illness is not good, I will take care of her one day."

After hearing her confession, I felt relieved in my heart and looked at her again: "What about yourself? You have been by the side of the wonderful words. You have nothing you want to do, no--"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Susu shaking his head.

She said seriously: "This is what I want to do."

"..."

"I'll do this well, and it's all right."

"...!"

I looked at her calm and calm eyes with amazement, only to feel the incomparable shock in my heart. In this life, I have seen too many people, who are enslaved by things and trapped by love, and have made my life extremely complicated. Extremely difficult, like, just like me. A girl like Ke Susu didn't have the slightest desire to think about him, but just took one thing as a life, so plain and simple, and simply finished it.

This is indeed a most direct happiness.

I looked at her for a long time, with a sour smile, and said softly, "I really envy you."

Susu looked at me with a stunned look, but I didn't expect that I would say such words, and I already smiled slightly, picked up a small plum and put it in my mouth, the sweetness with a slightly sour taste The bitterness that made me taste a little lighter before, I stood up and looked at the sky outside the window.

A gust of wind blew the bamboo leaves outside the window constantly and squeaked.

Susu also glanced out the window and said, "Ah, it's going to change."
