For a long time, Shen Huan stopped crying and just leaned on Xichen's chest, grabbing his clothes with one hand and wiping the dried tears with the other.
Xichen lowered his head, touched her peach-like eyes with his lips, and asked softly: "Do you want someone to come in and wash your face?"
Shen Wen said in a hoarse voice: "No" and buried her head in his arms. She didn't want others to see her like this.
Xichen silently tugged at the corners of her lips and loosened her hands to prevent her from being suffocated.
But she raised her head again, looked at him and said, "What are you going to do?"
His face was filled with chills, and his words were filled with coldness and chill: "Family scandals must not be made public. That Imperial Physician Chen will be executed for murdering the concubines! As for the honor concubine, she is ordered to commit suicide!"
She was startled, then gritted her teeth and said, "I don't want to see them again."
Xichen patted her back and said softly: "You will never see them again."
She wrapped her hands tightly around his waist and pressed against his chest. She heard his strong heartbeat. For some reason, at this moment, she had some hope. She would rather he... was not the enemy who killed her whole family.
Maybe she was tired after crying for too long, and she fell asleep in his arms. She no longer resented it, but felt a little dependent on him.
In a daze, he seemed to want to let go of himself, but Shen Huan grabbed his sleeves and murmured: "Don't go..."
He lowered his head and laid her flat on the bed. He undressed and lay down next to her. He patted her gently and said, "I won't leave. I will always be here..."
His voice was soft and low, as if it had a hypnotic effect, so Shen Huan quickly fell asleep.
When he woke up again, Xichen was no longer around. Shen Huan called Chun'er to ask. Chun'er said that the emperor left early in the morning.
Shen Huan secretly thought about what happened last night. It was supposed to be a good dinner, but first the emperor left, and then Concubine Qing... Concubine Qing, how could she go to see Concubine Rong at that time? Even if she had to pretend to be clever in front of the emperor. Be good, at least wait until after the dinner party!
What is her intention?
And Concubine Rong, thinking of her, Shen Huan's lips were filled with a wry smile, "Sister Xianya, you deceived me so hard!"
Chun'er looked at her uncertain expression and said hesitantly: "Eunuch Shi said in the morning that the emperor had made a decree. Doctor Chen must have already asked and beheaded her, and Concubine Rong... Concubine Rong..."
Shen Wen asked feebly: "What's wrong with her?"
Chun'er said: "Eunuch Shi brought the death medicine, but she refused to drink it. She said she wanted to see Lord Shang Yi before she died."
"What's there to see?" Even though she said this, when she heard the news that Xian Ya was about to die, she still felt a little sad in her heart and tears came out of her eyes again.
Chun'er sighed: "Eunuch Shi said that Master Shang Yi and Concubine Rong had a good relationship in the past. If Shang Yi doesn't go now, I'm afraid he will regret it in the future..."
Shen Huan glanced at her lightly, and after being silent for a while, he said: "Okay, I'll go over and see if you know about this, so you'd better keep silent, otherwise, even I won't be able to protect you."
Chun'er hurriedly said: "This slave understands"
Shen Wen packed up and went to Jingyi Palace. Xiao Shizi stood at the door, with an anxious look on his face when he saw her coming, and said anxiously: "I thought you wouldn't come, Concubine Rong has already..."
Shen Huan's heart sank, and she walked into the room in three steps and two steps, only to see Xian Ya lying on the bed, her face pale, and the blue and white porcelain bottle in her hand... was already empty!
"Sister Xianya!" Shen Huan called out and threw herself to the bed.
Elegant lips turned purple, and her face became increasingly gray. She raised her hand with difficulty, and Shen Huan hurriedly held it in her hand. Tears fell on the back of her hand.
"Ah Huan, I'm really... happy that you can come... I thought you wouldn't forgive me..."
"Sister Xianya..."
"Ah Huan, I have drunk the poison, and I only have a little time... Listen to me, I am... sorry, I didn't tell you... When I entered the palace to apply for election, I just obeyed the orders of my parents. He and I ...can be considered a childhood sweetheart, but...my parents said that he is not good enough for me..."
"Sister Xianya, please stop talking. I know it. I don't blame you. I really don't blame you..."
"The reason why I don't tell you is not to deceive you on purpose. It's just that the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better, right?"
"Yes, yes...sister, everything you said is right, don't say it anymore, okay? I'm going to see Dr. Sun right now. He is very good at detoxifying. He will definitely help you. You will be fine. Sister, you will be fine." !" Shen Huan stood up and wanted to walk out, but was held back by her.
Xianya smiled sadly and said weakly: "No, don't go. I know how powerful this poison is... Since the emperor wants me to die, how can there be an antidote? Listen to me, don't go. , once you leave, I'm afraid... you'll never see me again..."
"No, no, sister... If there is an antidote, there must be an antidote!" Shen Huan cried sadly.
"Silly girl, actually..." The corners of Xianya's mouth began to bleed. She frowned in pain, but still insisted on finishing her words, "Actually, I know that you and the Twelve Princes... you are just like us, childhood sweethearts. Childhood sweetheart...Ah Huan, don't let it happen that you can't see your own heart because of other reasons, and you will... regret it in the future..."
"Yes...Sister Xianya, please don't die. You are my only relative in this palace. Please don't die, please..." Shen Huan saw more and more blood on her lips, and she knew she should stay. I can't hold her anymore...
"When you came to see me, I was copying Li Yu's "The Bodhisattva Man". You said it was a bad idea, but I liked it very much... It's hard for a slave to come out, and the teacher can show mercy to you... Show mercy to him... Ah Huan, you want to Live happily... I... He and I... are really innocent..." After saying the last sentence, Shen Huan felt her hands sink, and her elegant hands dropped weakly, falling on the bed.
"Sister Xianya! Sister! Sister..." She cried and shouted, but Xianya made no sound anymore. She was like a dead flower, lying on the bed in decline, without any brilliance.
Sister Xianya, I know you really regard me as your sister. You also hope that I can live happily, just as my sister also hopes so. She has always taken care of me when she was alive. She doesn't want I live the same life as her, because that is really too tiring
Sister Xianya, when I learned that my sister died, I thought I would never have such warmth again in this life, but God allowed me to meet you again. You two are so similar... But why? Why did God say Want to take you away?
Sister Xianya, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...I was still resentful of you last night and why you deceived me! Why am I so stupid? I know you are not that kind of person! I didn't even ask the emperor to forgive you. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry! If I wasn't so selfish and willful, you would still be alive!
"Miss, your condolences! No matter what, the concubine must die!" Xiao Shizi stood behind Shen Huan, seeing her crying so heartbroken, he had to say, "Mr. Chen is already dead, and he was executed for murdering the concubine. , if the honorary concubine does not die, then where are the murdered concubines? What's more, how can the emperor tolerate his concubines having an affair with other men? Miss, don't be too sad..."
Shen Huan suddenly stopped crying, stood up and stared at Xiao Shizi coldly. Xiao Shizi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly lowered his head for a while. Shen Huan glanced at Rong Bin again, gritted his teeth and said: "Bury her properly..."
Xiao Shizi hurriedly said: "This is natural. Miss, you'd better go back first. It's unlucky here."
Shen Wen was afraid that she would not be able to stop crying if she stayed for a moment longer, so she clenched her fists tightly and walked away silently.
