1869. Chapter 1869 Looking for someone in the palace 5
Banke ignored his words, put her arms around his neck, and asked, "I heard that there used to be a concubine who lived here, right?"
When King Saibei heard this, he knew what was going on. He smoothed her hair with one hand and said, "Yeah."
Seeing that he hadn't lied to her, Banke was so happy that she kissed him on the face, "Then can you tell me how she died?"
"No." King Saibei smiled and touched her face. This face is really fascinating. Even though the eyes are different from ordinary people, it does not affect the beauty at all.
Banke instantly slumped, "Why can't you tell me? They all said she looks like me. If you don't tell me, just look at her portrait and see if she looks like me?"
King Saibei's hand loosened his hold on her waist. When he mentioned Concubine Li, his whole person was different from before.
"What's wrong?" Seeing him putting her down and standing up alone, Banke knew that what they said was true. However, the sense of frustration made her heart sink continuously, and she was so sad that she almost died.
.
King Saibei didn't want to lie to her, so he looked into her eyes and told the truth, "She looks very similar to you. For a moment, I thought she was back."
Banke never thought of hiding the disappointment in her eyes. She slumped down on the chair and looked at King Saibei, "Then can you show me her portrait? Let me know what kind of beauty makes you so.
I can’t let go.”
King Saibei looked at her for a few seconds, and suddenly his voice became louder, "Eunuch Su."
Eunuch Su, who was standing farther away than Su Yin, hurriedly walked up and pushed the door open.
King Saibei said in a deep voice, "Go and fetch the portrait from the widow's bedroom."
——
After a moment of burning incense, Banke held the portrait with her eyes red. She thought they were similar, but she didn't expect them to be so similar. Except for the eyes, they were almost exactly the same. How could it be like this!
King Saibei walked over and hugged her, "I've wanted to tell you before, but I'm afraid you'll think too much about it. Sooner or later, I'll have to say it."
"Is it because of her that you are so kind to me?" Tears fell in bunches in Banke's eyes.
In the past, it was partly because of Li Fei, but now it is because of herself. But how to answer this question?
Seeing King Saibei's hesitation, Banke confirmed what she was thinking. The expectations she had for King Saibei collapsed instantly. Su Yin's words were still vaguely in her ears. She smiled coldly and suddenly turned around to pick up and put them in the basket.
The scissors in his pocket slid towards his face.
"ah!"
When Su Yin opened the door, Banke's face was bleeding profusely, but the corners of her mouth were raised.
King Saibei hugged her and hurriedly put her on the bed. Eunuch Su went to invite all the doctors from the imperial hospital. It was not until dawn that the people in Liyuan Palace gradually dispersed. Overnight, things changed and everyone was caught off guard.
King Saibei stood in the room with his hands behind his back. Banke turned away with tears in his eyes, not looking at him. His heart was heavy. He left the Liyuan Palace with steady steps. This move made Banke even more disheartened.
.
After everyone left, Su Yin came over and sat beside her bed, "Come with me."
"Sister Yin, I don't want to leave now. No one like me will be willing to marry me in the future. It doesn't matter to me whether I leave the palace or not."
Listening to the despair in her tone, Su Yin comforted her, "I know a miracle doctor who can cure the wounds on your face. Come out of the palace with me. Leave Saibei forever and never step foot in Saibei again."
