She opened her hands and let the blood-stained hairpin fall to the ground. She just looked at her empty hands in despair and murmured to herself. Suddenly she grabbed Ling Ruo's shoulders and said, "You said one thing wrong.
It’s not that I hate Hesheli Fang’er, I’m extremely afraid of her. When I saw you here for the first time, I was really scared. I was afraid that another Hesheli Fang’er would appear. I was afraid.
Everything I have now will be in vain!"
"The emperor loves her deeply. Just because I said something wrong, the emperor ignored me for seven years. Seven years, my best seven years have passed like this. No one pities or appreciates me.
I can't sleep alone every night. The most pitiful thing is that my child is just infected with wind and cold. It can be cured, but because the imperial doctor refused to come to diagnose and treat him, it was delayed.
The disease just passed away." Tears poured down, and kept crossing the pale and aging face. The hand holding Ling Ruo's shoulder kept exerting force, and the nails that had not been cut for a long time were broken one by one, as if this could relieve her pain.
Recalling the pain when the child died of illness, "I cried heartbrokenly while holding the dying child, wishing that I was the one who died."
Ling Ruo was speechless. Even though she hated Concubine Rong for harming her in the first place, she was speechless after hearing these words. Hateful people must have pity. Concubine Rong's pity lies in the fact that she has always lived under the care of Queen Xiaochengren.
under the shadow.
After a long time, she endured the pain on her shoulder and said, "Your child is innocent, but what about me? I have nothing to do with this, but you insist on retribution on me."
"Who can you blame? If you want to blame, it's because you have the same face as Hesheli Fang'er. And..." Concubine Rong let go of her, staggered back a few steps, looked around the empty and cold palace with a smile on her face.
She smiled ugly even though she was crying, "And I have already received my retribution, haven't I? Being imprisoned here is worse than death."
"I just want to know who told you about me and Rong Yuan in the first place. You and the Crown Princess have been in the palace for a long time, and it is impossible to come into contact with the outside world. What's more, only a few people know about this matter. Even the Crown Princess's
It's impossible for Ma to know." This is what she came to
The real purpose of Jingren Palace. From the day she was dismissed by Concubine Rong on an excuse, she had always had a doubt in her heart, who was secretly harming her. As for who... Although she had doubts, it was not necessary.
Come and ask for clarification, it's just an excuse.
After venting the pain and grief she had endured for many years, Concubine Rong's mood seemed to have calmed down a lot. She wiped away the tears on her face and said silently: "So what if you know, everything is a foregone conclusion. You have fundamentally changed today."
It’s nothing, it’s just adding to the pain.”
"Pain is better than a lifetime of confusion." This was Ling Ruo's answer to Concubine Rong, but she had a bad premonition in her heart.
Concubine Rong stared at her for a long time, the madness in her eyes gradually settling down, until there was no ripples, like a pool of still water. There is nothing greater than the death of her heart. Her heart died as early as the day she was banned by Kangxi, but she always had a breath of resentment.
It just refuses to dissipate.
She raised her head and cast her gaze on the dusty gold-painted dew on the roof. Doesn't this look like her life, which has been glorious and glorious, will ultimately be blamed on the dust. It has been thirty-eight years since she entered the palace in the sixth year of Kangxi's reign.
, she spent most of her life fighting for favor and power in the Forbidden City. She had unimaginable wealth but also endured unspeakable suffering...
If she had a choice, she would rather never enter the palace or meet the king. In this way, she could be an ordinary woman and find an ordinary husband who loves her and spend her ordinary life.
And Kangxi, who pacified the three Tibetans, regained Taiwan, and resisted foreign invasion, was undoubtedly an extremely outstanding man. It was rare to see him in thousands of years. Such a man was not something she could have. At best, he could only be the countless women who pursued him.
one.
"Ling Ruo?" She suddenly looked away and asked, the corners of her lips slightly curved, and there was no hint of hostility.
"Yes." Ling Ruo agreed subconsciously. This was the first time Concubine Rong called her so gently. Although she couldn't tell where, her intuition told her that Concubine Rong was different from before.
Concubine Rong slowly licked her messy hair carefully until it was completely untidy and then said slowly: "Sometimes being confused may not be a blessing. If I could be more confused when I was as old as you, maybe there wouldn't be many troubles in the future.
, learn from the past and learn from others, forget this and do your best, Ge Ge. With your appearance and the way Si Age treats you today, you may not be able to achieve the position of Xiang Fujin in the future."
This time, she did not call herself "Hong Kong" in her words, and her words were rare sincerity and mostly admonishing, which showed that she was really doing Ling Ruo's good. Things in the world are really strange. Who would have thought that this happened not long ago?
The two are still life-or-death enemies.
"People can pretend to be confused, but they can't really be confused. Otherwise, they will die without knowing who harmed them. Besides, if he can harm me once, he may not be able to harm me a second time. If the noble concubine is really good for me, please be kind to me.
Expressly stated." A cold light flashed in Ling Ruo's eyes. The heart that was once independent of the world has gradually been sharpened by the cruel reality, and it will never return to its past.
Concubine Rong looked at her for a long time and suddenly sighed lowly, "What you said makes some sense. The most terrifying thing in this world is to do mental arithmetic without intention. If you are not careful, you will easily suffer losses. Whatever, I will tell you,
That person...is Shi Qiuci!"
When Concubine Rong uttered the words "Shi Qiuci", it was as if thunder exploded in her ears, making her unable to hear any other sounds, leaving only a fragmented sentence that kept echoing in her mind.
The person who plotted against her...the one who harmed her was...my sister...
"No! Impossible!" Ling Ruo's first reaction when she came back to her senses was to reject Concubine Rong's words. She covered her ears tightly and shouted loudly, as if this was the only way to convince herself that this was not true.
Concubine Rong looked at Ling Ruo with a bit of pity and intolerance, "I said, you will suffer from this."
Ling Ruo shook her head vigorously and said in a panic: "No, no, I have known her for more than ten years. She is kind and gentle, and she will never harm me. It's you!" She pointed at Concubine Rong and said tremblingly.
: "You must want to alienate us sisters, so you made up these words to deceive me! Yes, it must be like this, it must be like this."
These words are not so much an accusation against Concubine Rong as they are words used by Ling Ruo to comfort herself. Only in this way can she draw a clear line between Qiu Ci and the person who harmed her.
"Knowing people knows their faces but not their hearts. Painting skin and bones is difficult to paint the heart. Did I lie to you? You know best in your heart. The Crown Princess and I have lived in the palace for a long time. This news naturally came from the palace. Among so many beautiful women at that time
The only one who is familiar with you is Shi Qiuci, and the only one who knows about you and Xu Rongyuan is Shi Qiuci, who else can be there besides her?"
Every word Concubine Rong said was like a steel needle piercing her heart. The pain was so painful that she could hardly breathe. Her body seemed to have been drained of strength and fell limply to the cold and biting ground. She looked at the tears falling on the back of her hands.
He murmured: "Why, why did she do this? I have always regarded her as my sister, why did she harm me?"
Concubine Rong smiled softly, raised her head and said, "You haven't forgotten where this is, right? The Forbidden City, a place with the most women in the world, no swords and shadows, but the cruelest fights in the world. For
For the sake of favor, the powerful will do anything. You can even betray your biological sister, let alone a sister who has no flesh and blood. You are so naive."
