I just looked at him quietly, suddenly hoping that he would not believe what I said just now, that he would ask me and listen to what I said. Just believe me once.
For a long time, there was another suffocating silence. His eyes were cloudy with contradictions, pain, reluctance, struggle, disappointment, etc. Finally, the waves in his eyes slowly calmed down, and everything seemed to sink into the thick ink that couldn't be opened.
In the same eyes.
"Sir, don't you say something?" He looked at me and said as calmly as possible.
"What does the Emperor plan to do?" It's not me who should say anything now, the most important thing is what he thinks.
"Concubine De was supposed to die for murdering Dragonborn. However, because she was pregnant with a royal descendant, the murder attempt failed. After she gave birth, she was thrown into the cold palace, and the child was adopted and raised by the queen." He judged a woman's life as if she were a family member.
.]
"What else?" Like the queen, this is probably just his prelude, but what about me? Does he believe what he just said? If so, what will he do with me?
"You." Emperor Xuan Tian was speechless for a moment, thinking: By asking this, is she admitting it. She really hates herself so much, for other men, to this extent. Then he further confirmed: "You resent me for treating you
Everything you do, right?"
He didn't answer me, and always liked to ask questions like this. Are you resentful, right? Of course I resented him, and who wouldn't?
Suddenly, he turned around and glanced over with a sharp gaze. The suppressed ups and downs were revealed, "What do you want me to do with you?"
I looked at him blankly and said, "As the emperor said, I have resented and even thought about..."
"You even thought about killing me to avenge your family, but you couldn't do it at that time. So you left." Before I could finish, he interrupted.
"You know." He actually knew that I poisoned your food. When did he know it? Did he know it then?
"It's strange, isn't it? Without your bracelet, I really wouldn't have known that the smell of the hollow pearls on your bracelet was the same as the dishes you cooked for me that day. Originally, you said that you had the intention to kill me, but I just
I thought you were just talking, but you actually did it. It was just the last step, right? But I believed in you so much at that time, and you used your deception to repay me."
"You left, you were so cruel on the cliff suspension bridge. You took revenge on me for snatching you back on the cliff half a year ago, so you tortured me there in a similar way? I wanted to find out at that time,
Once I get you back, I will never let you go. I will torture you well and ask you to repay you twice as much." The pain in his eyes became more and more serious. His tone became serious. It seemed that the grief, anger and emotions that had been suppressed for a long time were all there.
It broke out at this time.
"I got you back. Yes, I took you regardless of your feelings. But, can't you feel how I treat you? I love you so much, and you still want to treat me like this!"
"Do you love me? You are possessive. Love is not like this. You only care about whether I am by your side, but have you ever asked me how I feel? I am a human being, not a pet you hunted. What do you mean to me?
Well, everything for me is based on possession." Why did he say that? What should I do?
How should I treat him? Facing him, can I still fall in love with him? Is it possible? Later, I thought that maybe if he believed me this time, he would investigate and protect me, and my psychological defense would be up.
I've reached my limit, and maybe I'll take a good look at him. However, this last chance is gone.
"So you used your child to retaliate against me. How many times did you say you didn't want my child? I just thought it was just a temporary anger. You even knew you were pregnant and still disobeyed me. Your subsequent obedience
It's all fake, you saw Huangfu
Zhe, are you more determined? But Xiao Shi, do you know that no matter how cruel I am, no matter how cruel you are, no matter how willful and cruel you are, you should not use yourself and my other children to retaliate. The most vicious woman
My heart, Xiao Si, you have crossed my bottom line."
"Why do you insist it's me! Just based on what you saw, what you saw may not be true. This emperor should know better than me." The play he performed on the cliff didn't exactly prove what I said.
. And I can hardly believe that in his eyes, I would be so vicious. Yes, I said it before when I was angry, but can I make such a judgment based on just those few words?
"How long do you want to keep pretending? How do you explain this bag of musk? You always tell Shangguan medical officers about the taboos of pregnant women and children, and you always keep the people around you away, so that it is easier for you to do your own thing. You know what I said earlier
I have something to deal with, so I took away the people around you
Secret guard, you have been preparing for a long time before taking action. When Huangfu Zhe rescued you from the lake that day, did he make any promise to you? Did you just get rid of the child? Are you killing several emperors?
If you have any children, he will find a way to take you away."
"You're talking nonsense." When I heard what he said, my blood surged up. My stomach, which was already in unbearable pain, felt a tearing pain again. After all, he didn't believe me. It seemed that I really wasn't worthy of others' trust.
But that doesn't mean I will accept my fate. I gritted my teeth and retorted: "I haven't harmed anyone, and you shouldn't think of others as despicable as you. Huangfu Zhe is not that kind of person."
At this point, I thought he would give me a slap. Unexpectedly, he laughed in anger. His smile was desolate, but it also made people feel chilly in their hearts. "You still protect that prince. You still love him."
Is he? You are really cheap. Tomorrow is the 15th day of the lunar month and I have officially adopted the title of concubine. You are still thinking about him."
"You have no right to criticize me." I paused, swallowed, and suppressed the smell of blood in my throat. I raised my head and said coldly: "If I call you a bitch like this, what about the emperor? You clearly know what's in my heart.
Who am I to be a man? Isn’t he also forcing himself?”
With a snap, he slapped me with such force that I fell onto the bed. The blood in my throat couldn't be suppressed anymore and surged up. My abdomen also suffered from bursts of pain.
I was trembling and speechless. He turned my curled up body. He pressed down, clasped my chin tightly, and forced me to look directly at him. The anger in his eyes seemed to burn me to ashes.
The vicious factors spread like a virus. The voice of Shura from hell sounded: "Your heart is with others. Do you think I forced it? But what should I do? You are already my concubine. You have to do it for yours."
Betrayal pays a price.”
At this time, he looked at the flowers outside the window again, and said coldly: "This Morning Garden is the place where you and I officially first met, so let everything be destroyed here."
After saying that, he pushed me away fiercely. It was so painful that I had no strength to resist. I was bleeding and looked at the blurry figure of Emperor Xuantian and walked out. I smiled bitterly. It was okay. I almost thought about it from now on.
It's a good idea to stay, it's just a little bit worse.
All the warmth and dependence was like the blood in my body, constantly flowing out. Until my whole body was shivering with cold, the noble father-in-law who informed the emperor of the order came in, glanced at me lightly, and said arrogantly: "
The emperor has an order, morning
The palace flowers are invaded by foreign matter, and it has been confirmed by the Imperial Hospital that they are prone to diseases. Today, the flowers in the morning garden are eradicated and burned. The imperial concubine protects the dragon, which is unfavorable. She removes all the slaves and punishes them to stay in the morning garden. After the flowers are burned, they will be replanted. Resistance
Order to behead him."
After saying that, he sneered: "I don't know what is good or bad." Then he hurried out, as if he was afraid of getting into some bad luck.
In the backyard of the palace, one honor is carried by many people, and one loss is trampled by thousands of people. Emperor Xuan Tian's intention was to directly demote me to a flower slave and ask me to fend for myself.
Soon, the shouts of the guards outside were heard driving away the palace maids and eunuchs. The figures of many palace maids and eunuchs carrying bundles hurriedly passed by the window and the door.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the morning palace fell into dead silence. I thought it would be okay to just be quiet.
"Empress." I slowly opened my eyes, and that familiar figure came into view. It was Ling'er. I didn't expect that she would still be here at this moment. I opened my mouth and was about to say something, but I found that
My mouth was so dry that I couldn't make a sound.
Ling'er immediately poured a cup of tea for me to drink, and then I started to make some noise. I grabbed Ling'er's hand and asked, "Why don't you leave?"
In fact, there is really no need for her to stay. Instead, she has been by my side and taken care of me with all her heart. I feel sorry for her because she follows me, a master they call ungrateful.
"Your Majesty, don't say that. I have no relatives, but I always remember that in this world, except for the Emperor, I am the one who treats me the best. I still remember the smile in the stream nearly two years ago. That is something I have never seen before."
She held my hand and said sincerely.
Ling'er is really stupid. She hasn't been here for a short time. Why is she still so soft-hearted? She will suffer a loss sooner or later.
"Your Majesty's hands are so cold, please give me an extra quilt." After saying that, he went to the closet to get a quilt to cover me, but his hand suddenly stopped in mid-air. He was so surprised that he couldn't speak for a long time. Ling'er was speechless.
After hesitating twice, tears rolled in his eyes for a few times and then fell.
"What's wrong?" I asked weakly.
Ling'er covered her mouth and turned around, picked up the hot water on one side and poured it into the basin. She walked over and said, "Mother, I'll just help you clean it up."
I lowered my eyelashes and saw that the mattress was stained red with blood. Ling'er was probably acting like this when he saw this, so he comforted him: "Ling'er, the blood has flowed a bit too much.
But when some daughters come to Kwai Shui, they do it more often than this. You see, I am fine. Also, as you can see, I am no longer a queen. Please stop calling me slave.
Just call me Shier."
Ling'er was about to say something, but she choked and just kept nodding. It made my eyes wet. I took the warm cotton towel in her hand and said, "Although I am a little weak,
, but you can still clean it up yourself.”
Ling'er managed to regain his composure and said, "Okay, empress, I will help you change the bedding."
