The night was already deep. Concubine Jin, the mistress of Yunxiu Palace, had no intention of resting. Not long ago, Eunuch De sent someone to tell her that Xuan Yi would not be coming tonight. Concubine Jin's face sank, and she silently walked to the desk and started reading.
Come, she glanced sharply at Qi Zi and said: "I want to read a book, please bring the candlestick closer."
Qi Zi walked over silently, picked up the candlestick next to it and put it next to Concubine Jin. Concubine Jin didn't want to think about it but said, "It's too short. I'm tired of looking at it. Please pick it up."
Qi Zi didn't understand her intention, so he looked at her and said, "Madam, please rest. It's already very late now."
Concubine Jin looked at Bizhu, who immediately came over and said, "You are just a palace servant. Don't forget your identity. You will do whatever the queen asks you to do?"
Qi Zi was silent, she didn't want to argue with this arrogant slave. Seeing that Qi Zi was silent, Bizhu came over angrily, took off the candle from the candlestick, put it in her hand and said: "Just hold it like this, hold it high
Please do it, your Majesty won’t feel tired just by looking at it.”
Concubine Jin sat there smiling, as if it had nothing to do with her. Qi Zi raised the candle, and Concubine Jin read a book. As time went by, the tears of the candle slowly slid down along the body of the candle, and settled on Qi Zi.
On the back of her hand, Qi Zi endured the burning pain and continued to hold it for her, until there was a thick layer of candle tears on the back of her hand. Bizhu saw the evil smile and walked over, took off the hairpin on her head, and plucked away the solidified candle tears.
Qi Zi's hand was already blistered due to the burn. Qi Zi looked at Bizhu and silently asked himself: "How did I offend her? She wants to torture me like this."
The candle tears flowed down again, dripping on the blistered area, "Ah", Qi Zi was so painful that he threw the candle on the ground, a little hot candle tears fell on Jin Fei's face, she covered her face and shouted: "Ah"
, my face, my face." He stood up and slapped Qi Zi hard in the face and said: "You bitch, you are looking for death, get out of here, get out of here."
Qi Zi ran away with tears in her eyes, and Concubine Jin called out: "Bizhu, bring the mirror here quickly, quickly."
"Yes, empress." Bizhu took the mirror, and Concubine Jin looked at it carefully and expectantly, with a red mark on her face.
She cried with tears: "Bizhu, go to the Imperial Hospital and call the Imperial Doctor."
"Yes, don't worry, my dear, I will go right away."
As Bizhu walked out, Jin Fei's eyes widened and she said with hatred: "If I disfigure you, you little bitch, I will never let you go."
Qi Zi covered her beaten face and ran in the dark. This was the second time she was beaten. Ever since she was a child, her mother had never laid a finger on her. She never expected that she would be bullied like this at this time. Far away
A few lanterns outside the corridor were shining dimly, and when she saw the rockery in front of her, she knew she was in the Imperial Garden. She walked along the path, and the pain in her hands made her shed tears. She looked at the darkness in front of her.
Sad self-talk: "The flower path at night is dark and boundless, the cold dew sprinkles lightly and stains the dusty sleep, I am alone and there is nowhere to go, I am full of sorrow and thoughts, who can I speak to."
She walked aimlessly, not knowing where she was going. Her mind suddenly went blank. She just wanted to walk like this and keep walking. She heard the sound of water swaying slightly, and it turned out that she had arrived at Yingyue Lake. She stopped,
I stared blankly at the water in the lake, feeling desolate in my heart. I wanted to end this ordeal as soon as possible. I just wanted to let everything end quickly. I lifted my feet and walked forward step by step. When my shoes touched the lake water
At that moment, a person quickly grabbed her wrist, pulled her back, and threw herself feebly into his arms. Looking up, Xuan Yi miraculously appeared in front of her. After a few days of hard work,
Drowsiness hit him all at once, and he slowly closed his eyes and fainted.
