I stood upright on the ground with my hands lowered. Half the time of burning the incense passed, but Xuan Ling and the Queen did not come out, and there was no movement at all.
Just as he was wondering, Jian Qiu came out from the back of the palace with a smile, respectfully blessed him and said: "I'm tired of your wife Zhaoyi. I've been waiting for a long time. Just now, the empress had a headache and was very uncomfortable. At this time, the emperor was taking medicine with her.
You can come out later, please Zhaoyi."
Yue and I smiled and said, "Please let me know, young lady, how is the Queen doing now?"
Jian Qiu smiled and said: "The Queen has an old problem and it will be cured after taking medicine."
I hurriedly said: "That's good. I hope your empress Feng is in good health."
Jian Qiu was the most eloquent and quickly said with a smile: "I just said that Empress Zhaoyi cares about our empress the most."
It was quiet in the palace, and I was the only one left except for the palace maids who were waiting respectfully outside the palace with their hands lowered.
It's a strange feeling, with a hint of confusion, in the Zhaoyang Palace that only belongs to the Queen. At this moment, I am standing alone in it. Strange silence.
There is snow outside the window, and the Zi'ao City, where the remaining snow has not disappeared, looks unusually empty and quiet. Incense has never been burned in the Queen's Palace. Today, the agarwood incense that is only used for grand ceremonies is used. The sweetness of sweetness and bitterness permeates the palace, making people feel
Silent and solemn.
There seemed to be footsteps, and someone called out to me: "Wan Wan." I turned around, and it was Xuan Ling. The hall was mostly decorated with vermilion and lake blue curtains, and the bright yellow robe he was wearing was even more conspicuous.
"Your Majesty..." I called him softly.
It was far away, and the light in the hall was not very bright. When the agarwood incense burned, lingering white smoke lingered in the hall. Through the curling white smoke, I couldn't see his expression clearly. I could only hear his voice a little vague.
, "Why don't you call me Shiro?"
Shiro? I was a little shy, and even a little surprised. Although there were no outsiders in the Queen's palace, it was not good. However, he continued to ask, and he always used "I" in his questioning.
That was the second time I heard him call himself that.
So Yiyi replied: "Silang, I am here."
He said "Huh" and took a step forward, still hesitating: "Wanwan?"
My heart suddenly started to beat violently, but I still responded with an extremely gentle voice, "It's me."
He ran toward me, his hurried footsteps filled with endless joy. The eight-tree hairpin used in Zhaoyi's canonization ceremony was full of pearls and jade, and the fine tassels covered most of my face, making my head feel heavy. He
He held me tightly in his arms, as if a long-lost treasure had been regained, and called: "Wan Wan, you are finally back -"
His words were so affectionate. My heart suddenly sank to the bottom. I was hugged tightly by him, but a cold feeling spread from the soles of my feet. Is the person he is holding me? Wan Wan? This does not belong to me.
my name.
I couldn't move. He hugged me so tightly that I almost couldn't breathe. My ribs were a little painful. Such doubts made me deeply uneasy. I held my breath and spat out word by word: "My concubine, Zhen Huan, please see the Emperor."
As if he didn't hear clearly, he stiffened and gradually let go of me. He looked at me hard, his eyes a little strange, and for a moment he said indifferently: "It's you."
I was so shocked that I almost bit my own tongue. His expression made me shiver, as if a basin of ice-cold snow water fell down my head, and my bones were cold. I tried my best to keep kneeling down and gently
Said: "I, my concubine, are here to see the Emperor."
His eyes were a little distant, and soon fell on me again, lingering on my clothes. Suddenly, he picked me up, with a burning anger in his eyes, and there was already a questioning tone in his tone: "This
Where did the clothes come from?”
I was scared, and just as I was waiting for an explanation, he grabbed my arm harder and harder. The pain made me break out in a cold sweat and I was speechless. I tried my best to hold my breath, and then I said, "I don't..." He
He threw me away and threw me on the ground with a cold "hum".
The queen heard the noise inside and hurriedly helped Jianqiu's hand to come out. Seeing this scene, she said "Oh" and leaned towards Jianqiu who was holding her.
Xuan Ling was startled and ignored me. He hurriedly helped the queen sit down and said, "What's wrong with the queen?"
The queen did not faint. She only touched her head with her hands and said with difficulty, "I have a headache."
Jianqiu hurriedly poured hot water in, but the queen didn't drink it. She just turned her head and looked around for someone, and asked, "Where is Huichun?"
Jianqiu understood and hurriedly called Huichun to come in. When the queen saw her, her face turned pale. She pointed at me with one hand and patted the chair hard with the other hand, wanting Huichun to say: "Look at her, what's going on?"
When Huichun saw me, she was immediately frightened and hurriedly knelt down and cried: "A few days ago, the empress was sorting out Queen Chunyuan's old clothes and found that two southern pearls fell off this colorful dress and the silk thread was loose.
I asked my slave to take it to the House of Internal Affairs for sewing. I wanted to get it back when I had time, but I had forgotten so many things in the past two days. I don’t know why it happened to Empress Zhaoyi.” She was so frightened that she forgot to cry and kowtowed desperately:
"Your Majesty, Queen, forgive me."
There was a loud bang in my mind, leaving only a blank space. I mistakenly wore the old clothes of Queen Chunyuan, what should I do?
The queen was furious and furious, gasping and saying: "Confused! I have told you to take extra care of the late queen's belongings, but you actually turned a deaf ear to it? It's just a matter of care, but...
"
Xuan Ling's eyes were a little startled, "This is what she wore when she first met me."
The queen's eyes jumped like flames, and she stared at Xuan Ling for a long time: "Your Majesty still remembers that my sister came to the palace to see me."
Xuan Ling said lightly "Hmm" and said: "Of course I can't forget it."
They were talking like this, and I was the only one next to them, like an abandoned and forgotten person, looking at them alone. Wan Wan? I sneered in my heart, and even more sad, Wan Wan, it turns out they are all other people!
He quickly looked at me, his tone was strange and cold, and he said three words briefly: "Take it off!"
I was a little embarrassed for a moment, so I took off my coat. I was only wearing a dark-colored undershirt, which was absolutely inappropriate. However, I quickly took it off, put my hands on it, and knelt down straight, "I am my concubine.
I was careless and mistakenly wore the old clothes of Queen Chunyuan."
The queen looked at Xuan Ling and said cautiously: "Zhaoyi has always been cautious and would never do this intentionally. Is there some reason?" She said to me, "You can say it yourself."
I shook my head calmly and said: "I found the dress was damaged when I came to the Queen's Palace, so I had no choice but to borrow it temporarily. I don't know the origin of the dress." A sad smile appeared on the corners of my lips, and I couldn't breathe in my chest.
Ping, "If that's not the case..." I stared at Xuan Ling, but I couldn't go on. I just said to the queen: "It was my fault, and I am willing to accept the punishment."
In my heart, why would I want to be someone else in his eyes? That’s it. That’s it.
Xuan Ling looked at me with a complicated and distant look. I turned my head away and held back the tears in my eyes.
There was such cold silence. For a moment, the queen hesitated and said: "Zhaoyi..."
Xuan Ling said expressionlessly: "Zhaoyi? Although I have performed the canonization ceremony, I didn't listen to your instructions, so it can't be considered as a ceremony."
My heart was already cold, but I was shocked at this. I couldn't help but smile bitterly. That's all, I was not Zhaoyi in his heart. The person he cared about was not me!
He looked at me, as if he was condescending from afar, and said: "Tangli Palace has been built, you can just go and think about it."
I fell out of favor just like this overnight. Everything was completely overturned. The newly built Tangli Palace, the elegant and exquisite Tangli Palace, which symbolizes honor, favor and nobility, also changed overnight.
It became a cold prison.
My tears flowed freely the night I returned to Tangli. On a night when spring was still chilly, the bedding was stained with damp coldness by my tears. The moonlight filtered silently through the window panes, revealing a pool of pale stagnant water.
I was awake like this, staring from the endless darkness to the faint whiteness in the east, without feeling tired.
The heart, from severe pain and heat, turned into a puddle of cold and dead ashes as the charcoal burned out in the charcoal basin all night long. Such profound shame and grief shattered an incomplete heart into pieces.
thread.
I realized that everything was just a trap, starting from that damaged dress. And in the realization, there was a deeper sadness - all the affection and honor he gave me was just because I was a similar shadow!
Wan Wan! The me in his heart is just a substitute for Queen Chunyuan.
After opening her eyes and crying for a long time, her eyes were so dry that they stung. After a long period of silence, someone finally pushed the door open and walked in. It was Jin Xi. She whispered: "Your Majesty."
I just sat in a daze. Everyone in Tangli Palace was locked up along with me. He Palace was so frightened that they did not dare to disturb me. Jinxi bowed and said slowly: "Mother, please take care of yourself."
, don’t get hurt by being sad.”
I had no tears left. The palace was dark, and her expression looked anxious in the backlight. I raised my head and looked at Jin Xi for the first time persistently and playfully. There was a hoarse pain in my throat. I suddenly sneered, "Jin Xi, once upon a time I asked
Why are you so loyal to me for no reason? You just said it was fate. Now—you can tell me."
She bit her lip and knelt down beside me calmly, keeping silent. The corners of my lips slowly opened. In such a sad and resentful state of mind, the smile must have been terrifying, "It's because I look like Chunyuan who has gone."
Queen, right?"
She nodded slowly, then shook her head, and said: "The empress and Empress Chunyuan are not very similar."
I chuckled questioningly, not believing it at all, and said, "Really?" I said to myself, "I didn't understand until now." Concubine Duan's expression when she saw me for the first time suddenly came to mind. Why was she surprised when she saw me? Why did she say that?
In that case, her first concubines who entered the palace would naturally be familiar with the appearance of Queen Chunyuan.
Jin Xi said softly: "Three parts of the similarity and five parts of the temperament are enough to make the emperor fall in love."
I smiled sadly and laughed at myself: "Three points of appearance? Five points of temperament? It's enough to make you loyal to me - no, your real loyalty is to Queen Chunyuan."
Jin Xi knelt respectfully and said sincerely: "I am not lucky enough to be able to serve the late Queen. It is just because of fate that I have had the mercy of the late Queen once." Jin Xi looked at me calmly, her eyes as clear as water, "Your Majesty, please put on the First Queen's pity."
Only the clothes of the empress have some real portraits. The late empress was too pure-hearted, and although the empress was soft-hearted, she was also decisive. Jinxi loyal to the empress was because of the kindness of the late empress, and even more for the empress herself."
I looked at her, unable to suppress the curiosity and unwillingness in my heart: "Queen Chunyuan, what kind of person is that?"
Jin Xi smiled slightly, but her eye circles were red: "Queen Chunyuan should not live in the world. There is no kinder and better person than her in the world." She saw me surprised and only said: "The former Queen is like a banished woman.
God, the world's dust will only tarnish her."
I was so surprised that I couldn’t describe it. When I was a child, I heard people talk about Queen Chunyuan. I only knew that she was beautiful, gentle and womanly. She was good at performing the stunning dance and was loved by Xuan Ling. Everyone in the palace was convinced. But in the palace, I
I only know a little bit about her. I only know that Concubine Duan's pipa was played by her. Such talent is beyond my reach.
I lowered my temper and said, "She... must be very, very good."
Jin Xi said softly: "If the empress is like a rose with thorns, Queen Chunyuan is like a lily in the water. It's a pity that the palace is dusty and muddy, and the lilies cannot bloom well."
Jin Xi said something frank and straightforward, which touched me quite a bit. I looked at her sideways and said sadly: "A rose with thorns? Even if it has thorns, how can it stand up to so many open and secret arrows? In the trap, no one can argue, and now I have
If you fall out of favor, this time it will be no better than in the past, I am afraid it will be difficult to recover, and your loyalty to me will be in vain."
Jin Xi kowtowed solemnly and said: "This incident was also my fault. I thought the clothes looked familiar and couldn't remember that they were the late queen's old things. Besides, Eunuch Jiang had never served the late queen before. It was indeed our fault that someone else was tricked."
This is a plan." Jin Xi paused and said: "Yesterday, as soon as my wife was sent back, I heard that Eunuch Jiang was beaten to death with a stick by the emperor's order."
I was shocked when I heard this, and felt even sadder in my heart: "He was implicated by me and was also a pawn in the scheme." I held Jin Xi's hand and said apologetically: "I shouldn't doubt your loyalty, even if
You did it because of the late Queen, or at least for me. But the Emperor—" I didn't continue, just sneered: "The Queen has put a lot of effort into it!"
Jin Xi's eyelashes twitched, she pondered for a moment, and said, "How can I see you, my queen?"
"If she didn't mean it, who could have touched Queen Chunyuan's old things, and how could it be such a coincidence?" My heart trembled. I was not unaware of the Queen's methods. Together we frightened Concubine Li and eliminated Concubine Hua. We
The cooperation was tacit and appropriate. She was not blindly virtuous! I sneered and felt a little nervous. I never thought that the mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole is behind. The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook!
Isn't that so?
Jinxi lowered her head and bit her lip slightly: "The empress has no disobedience to the queen. It's just that the empress has been promoted step by step and won the favor of the saint, so the queen must be afraid of her."
I stood up, looked around blankly, and said, "I have lost the emperor's heart, and I am also unfavorable to the empress. What I committed involves the former empress, and it is an injury to the emperor, empress, and empress dowager."
Jin Xi frowned: "Today's incident really cannot be changed right now. I can only wait for the opportunity."
"Timing?" I looked around at the exquisite Tangli Palace after repair. At this moment, what is the difference between it and a real cold palace? That day, Xuanling sent me to Wuliang Palace to protect me from the disputes in the previous harem.
It's a deep affection. How can today's confinement be the same? That's it, that's it!
Life was lifeless, and all the preferential treatment in Tangli Palace had been cancelled. People outside did not know how to see my joke. I was demoted on the day of the canonization, and I must be the first one. Xuan Ling only asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs
Give me the treatment of a nobleman. After Jiang Minzhong's death, the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs naturally took advantage of the situation and became harsh in every possible way. The food they delivered was rough and most of it was rotten and cold. Some of the rude eunuchs and maids in Tangli Palace naturally complained.
, complained endlessly. Fortunately, Jin Xi and Xiao Yunzi were able to suppress it, and everyone tried their best to endure it.
Even though I was sad in my heart, I was unwilling to shed tears anymore. However, I kept myself in check, and the pain and resentment were forced into my heart, choking like a boulder, and gradually I was far away from tea and rice.
The heavy snow has not stopped in the spring cold. Tangli Palace is located in a remote location and is very cold and damp. The charcoal fire used for heating has long been cut off by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. There is nothing to keep warm. The bedding is almost so damp that water can squeeze out of it.
Even though she wore a few extra layers of clothes, within a few days, her delicate hands and feet were covered with hanging chilblains, which were as purple as grapes and bright red. From time to time, they burst into blood, leaving bright red streaks of blood. Huanbi
Yu Liuzhu was so anxious that she and I slept together every night, keeping each other warm. I discovered that their limbs were all cracked and damaged.
I couldn't bear it any longer, and the three of us couldn't help but hold our heads and weep in my heart. I said with tears in my eyes: "In the past, when you were slaves and maids in the house, you have never suffered like this, but now you have to suffer this kind of suffering with me."
."
Huanbi warmed my feet with her legs and said sadly: "Miss, have you ever worked so hard? Your Majesty is too..."
Liu Zhu wiped away her tears and said angrily: "I begged you in every possible way. I just hope that the Ministry of Internal Affairs can be lenient and send you some plaster to treat frostbite, or some black charcoal! Who knows they won't pay attention to it, let alone let it go."
When the servants go out, they are just taunting us in every possible way outside the door. How did they try to please Ba Jie and us back then?"
Huanbi sighed, glared at Liuzhu and said, "Just calm down, aren't you worried enough?"
Liu Zhuhen said: "One day, I want them to know that her Aunt Liu Zhu is very powerful!" As she said this, she put my hand in her arms. Her hands were also cold, and there was only a little warmth in her arms.
The warmth was given to me. I hugged them tightly, feeling even sadder in my heart, and said: "I originally wanted to find a good way out for you, but I'm afraid I can't. I'm afraid that I can't protect myself, but I'm dragging you down." I said to them.
Huanbi felt even more guilty, "Huanbi, I've caused you more trouble."
Huanbi gently shook her head and just shed tears silently. Liu Zhu said with emotion: "Is this slave just following the young lady to enjoy the blessings? I have followed the young lady since I was a child. Not only have I enjoyed the happiness with the young lady, I am not afraid to share the burden with the young lady. The slave's
Everything belongs to a young lady."
I said calmly: "Why have I ever regarded you as slaves?"
Tears flashed in Huanbi's eyes, "Liu Zhu is right. Miss doesn't treat us like slaves, are we still afraid of going through it together? There must be nothing that we can't handle."
The moonlight was dim and unclear, faintly like a gray shadow, and the palace became more and more cold in the middle of the night. I felt sad in my heart, and I was afraid that turning around would wake Liu Zhu and Huanbi around me, so I stayed motionless. The moonlight fell heavily on the tent, and today it was cold again.
It's the end of the moon. The waning moon is as thin as a hook, and it seems to be piercing the heart. The moon is full and the moon is waning, and the days are changing. But when it comes to the fickleness of the human heart, how can the moon's waxing and waning be enough?
How about half a point?
In melancholy, I sighed secretly.
Maybe it was because of the irregular diet in recent days that I lost all my strength and was mentally exhausted. Or maybe it was because of this unbearable mental effort that my faith period, which had always been inaccurate, was three to five days later than last month. My body and mind couldn't tell.
I was sore and sad. Jinxi was so anxious that she tried to clear the guards for me several times and asked the imperial doctor to come. However, the guards guarding Tangli Palace were extremely brutal and had a bad attitude. They didn't pay attention to me at all.
"The emperor has decreed that no one in this palace is allowed to go out. We can't control anything else." So we watched me become haggard and weak day after day.
Finally, when I got up in the morning to change clothes, I was exhausted, my feet felt weak, and I fell unconscious.
When I woke up, Wen Shichu was nearby, and the charcoal fire was lit again in the hall, which was warm and bright. The warm herbs rolled on the small silver spoon, making it slightly smoky. The bedding on my body was changed to soft and dry.
Yes, I stuffed a copper Tang Po Zi Huan next to my feet to keep warm.
I raised my hand and saw that it was thickly wrapped with soft cloth. I couldn't help but be surprised. Jin Xi smiled and said to the side: "My dear, don't move. I just applied mink oil to treat frostbite. I'm afraid it will stain my clothes." She held it.
A bowl of bird's nest was blown gently, and he scooped it up with a silver spoon and put it to my lips. I was dizzy, and my body was limp and weak. I just stared at all the doubts around me. How could such courtesy be given in prison?
The soup woman next to her feet was scalding her feet, which was clearly not an illusion.
I looked at Wen Shichu. Seeing my old friend for the first time, my eyes couldn't help but heat up, and I said, "Mr. Wen."
He responded, with a thin layer of warmth and pity in his eyes. He tried his best to suppress it and saluted, "Congratulations, my dearest concubine!"
My consciousness was a little blurry, I touched my abdomen unconsciously, and looked at him in confusion and surprise: "Really?"
Jin Xi shed tears and gently turned her head to wipe them away. Together with the palace maids and eunuchs, they all knelt down to congratulate her: "Congratulations to the empress." She said, "The imperial doctor said that the empress is already one month pregnant."
There was a moment of panic in my heart, but I was also happy, and the joy was even more sad. I once deeply looked forward to having a child, but couldn't, and now I have another child at this time. I don't know if I am relying on him or causing him trouble.
. I caressed my belly and almost cried.
After everyone retreated, only Wen Shichu and Jin Xi were left. Jin Xi was tending the medicine stove, and Wen Shichu checked my pulse: "Your Majesty's mood fluctuates too much, and your fetal energy is unstable. Don't get angry again."
Sad."
I turned my head away, endured the soreness in my nose, and said, "How do you think I am doing right now?"
He let out a long sigh: "This is the only chance for the empress to turn over." He comforted: "The emperor has decreed that the ministers will take care of the empress' pregnancy. Although the courtesy due to the noble concubine has not been restored, the concubine's courtesy is still allowed.
Treat each other well. The queen has also ordered me to take special care of my wife’s food and daily life. Please try to relax as much as possible.”
But I smiled sadly and said: "Really? Your Excellency, do you think this is an opportunity for me to turn around? If so, Your Excellency has just said so much, why didn't you hear that there was an order to lift the ban? You only said, Your Majesty also
There was not a single word of comfort. What’s more, this so-called concubine courtesy is also for my children, not because of me.”
He was silent and sympathetic. Jin Xi on the side also stopped fanning the stove and lowered his head. There was silence in the hall for a while, and he could only see the hot air "dudu" rolling out from the small silver hammer.
, beeping in vain.
Wen Shichu said eagerly: "Empress..." There was also a sob in his throat.
I hugged Mrs. Tang, absorbed the warmth in my arms, and smiled slightly, "Why are you sad, sir? I'm not sad, but you beat me to it." Mrs. Tang was so hot that it burned my cold chest through my clothes. I
He lowered his head and said forcefully: "No matter when, I will never look down on myself and wrong this child. Before I enter the cold palace, even if I do, I will definitely raise this child to grow up."
Wen Shichu breathed a long sigh of relief and said calmly: "That's good. Wei Chen is afraid that the empress will despise him." He said firmly: "With the words of the empress, I will do my best to take good care of the empress!"
I smiled sadly, deeply feeling the warmth and gratitude. I will never be able to respond to Wen Shichu's affection for me in this life. Even though he has feelings for me, I have no intention of it, but the palace is so changeable and cold, and he is
Caring like a family member by your side.
I laughed with tears in my eyes and said slowly: "Master Wen and I have known each other since childhood. Have you ever seen me looking down on myself?"
He smiled happily and said, "The empress Wei Chen knows has never let Wei Chen down."
I said: "In this case, I and the fetus in my belly should be entrusted to adults."
After Wen Shichu left, Du Jinxi stayed by my side to take care of me. She tucked me in and said happily: "Fortunately, Mr. Wen is here to take care of the empress, but we must not relax in everything." She advised me: "We have a child at this time.
Well, at least the emperor is not too heartless."
I smiled sadly and said, "Do you also think that the emperor is too heartless?"
There are so many unborn children in the palace, and every step is dangerous. Since Xuan Ling is weak, he can only rely on himself to win.
I struggled to put on my clothes and stood up, and ordered Jinxi to get the four treasures from the study. Jinxi said: "Your Majesty is weak. Please wait until you feel better before writing anything else."
I shook my head, picked up a pen and wrote on a piece of paper, handed it to Jin Xi to seal, and said: "I am pregnant, so the emperor will definitely be willing to read my letter. Find a way to send it to the emperor."
Jin Xi asked: "What did the empress write?"
I worked too hard and felt even more strenuous. I half-leaned on the bedside and said, "I beg the emperor to order that the queen personally take care of my pregnancy and childbirth."
Jin Xi was surprised, "The empress already suspected that what happened was the queen's intention, so why did she need the queen to take care of her?"
I smiled bitterly: "That's right. But now that the queen is the only one in the palace, I have to pay attention to this child, and it's definitely not enough on my own. The queen must be very disgusted with me when she designs to frame me, and she also hates the child in my belly. Now.
Within my ability, I am absolutely powerless to resist her. If she wants to take care of my childbirth, she will be the first to bear the brunt of anything that goes wrong. For her own sake, she will do her best not to harm my child.
I won’t let others harm my child.”
Jin Xi had no choice but agreed: "This is the only way to keep everything safe. If the empress wants to regain her favor in the future, all hope lies in this child."
I shook my head sadly. If Xuan Ling is like this, am I still willing to be a substitute for others in order to win favor? Even if he kills me, he will never do it. I just want this child to grow up safely.
I just said: "Go quickly." The queen has always been "kind and kind" in front of others. Xuan Ling has such a will, and she will definitely not refuse it.
I lowered my head and caressed my yet-to-be-revealed belly, and secretly made up my mind, my child, even if your father doesn't pity you or your mother, your mother will definitely try her best to keep you safe.
Jin Xi collected the letter and said with a smile: "The bird's nest is cold. I will go and mix some hot milk into it."
I casually said: "Let's wait and make it. I always feel that there is no taste in my mouth. Ask Liu Zhu to tell the kitchen to make a bowl of shrimp porridge."
Jinxi looked a little weird, so she responded and hurried out. After a while, it was Huanbi who came in with porridge. She sat in front of my bed, scooped up the porridge and said with a smile: "Miss, you are pregnant now."
, one person can eat two people, it’s better to eat more.”
I didn't have much of an appetite, but I just thought about it for a moment. When it was actually brought to me, I lost interest again. Seeing her eager anticipation, I tried my best to swallow a few mouthfuls and said: "Why didn't Liu Zhu come in? You guys didn't come in just now to congratulate me."
Meet her."
Huanbi smiled and said, "Miss, you think this servant is not serving you well. She is thinking about Liu Zhu."
I saw that although she was smiling, the corners of her eyes were red, and I couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong with Liu Zhu?"
She hurriedly said: "It's nothing. It's just that Liu Zhu hasn't slept well these past few nights and is sleeping because of the cold."
I said "Oh" and was about to go to sleep. Perhaps due to the ups and downs in the past few days, I felt uneasy, so I lifted the quilt and stood up and said, "I'll go see her."
Huanbi was about to get up and stop me, and I became more and more suspicious. Seeing that she couldn't stop her, Huanbi knelt down on the ground, bit her lip and cried bitterly: "Miss, there is no need to go, Liuzhu is no longer here."
I was shocked and said, "What did you say!"
Huanbi kept sobbing and said: "Miss, how do you think the imperial doctor can come in? The guards outside ignored our pleas. It was Liu Zhu who desperately hit their knives. The people outside called the imperial doctor because they were afraid of causing death.
Only Dr. Wen is willing to come and take care of the young lady, but it is a pity that Liu Zhu cannot be saved."
Liu Zhu has been by my side since she was a child, and she has been as affectionate as a biological sister. When she heard such bad news, her heart ached, and she almost fell into Huan Bi's arms. Huan Bi burst into tears and said, "I told you no earlier."
Let the lady know that for fear of hurting the fetal air, the lady must not be too sad."
While I was crying, Jin Xi ran in. When she saw this, she knew something was wrong. She helped me sit down and said earnestly: "My queen is sad now and she needs to understand that taking care of herself is the most important thing. Miss Liu Zhu is doing this for my queen."
Damn it, your Majesty, please don't let her die in vain. Only your Majesty's thoroughness can avenge Miss Liu Zhu."
I gritted my teeth tightly, exerting too much force, and the roots of my teeth were sore and painful, as if I had a mouthful of ice water in my mouth. Huanbi cried and begged: "Miss, you must be well. Miss, do you know how miserable Liu Zhu's death was?
Even the body cannot be buried properly if there is blood on one head. If the young lady is so sad, wouldn’t the bleeding be in vain for the young lady!”
I was stunned and shed tears. I knew Huanbi's life experience and had always been friendly to her, so I neglected Liuzhu. But after Huanbi's betrayal that day, I trusted Liuzhu even more. It's a pity that she and Huanbi were together.
She came to the palace to accompany me, and she didn't get a day's happiness, but she ended up like this for me first. Could it be that I had caused her trouble?
Jinxi held my hand, opened my clenched fingers one by one, and said with tears: "My queen's hand has just been covered with medicine, how can I hold it like this?" She said sternly: "My queen has forgotten Chun that day.
The death of my concubine? My Majesty could bear it that day, but can’t she bear the temporary pain today? If my Majesty hurts herself, even if she wants to avenge Miss Liu Zhu in the future, she will be unable to do so!"
These words were pertinent, and no matter how sad I was, I could still hear them. I slowly stopped crying and said, "Yes, as long as I live a good life, Liu Zhu will not be considered a wasted death."
