Concubine Li looked at the pumpkin cake in front of her, and Cheng Qing, who was sitting next to the pumpkin cake with a fatherly smile on her face.

The claws that had wanted to be stretched out were retracted in a huff.

Cheng Qing is really not suitable for such a kind smile.

The more you look at it, the more infiltrating it becomes.

This face is mostly unsmiling on weekdays, but now with a smile, the more she looks at it, the less interested she is in moving chopsticks.

"I heard Taifu say that you love to eat this pumpkin cake the most on weekdays. I specifically asked the Imperial Dining Room to do it. Don't worry, I've already found someone to try the poison, so you can eat it with confidence. ”

"Your Majesty, I, I don't understand you anymore. ”

Concubine Li sat upright, reluctant to turn her head to Cheng Qing.

"There's nothing you don't understand, you can eat it when you make it. You wear what you wear. You're my concubine, do you need any more reason for me to be nice to you?"

If I had said this to me not long ago, I might have foolishly believed it. ”

She turned her head, and the pregnancy not only did not make her fat, but made her already thin face even more haggard and emaciated.

The pointed chin seemed to pierce her breasts.

A pair of eyes that were already big are now even bigger, which is a bit exaggerated.

Her eyes were a little blank and hollow, with no emotion or enthusiasm.

That's it, staring at you calmly.

Cheng Qing frowned, obviously not liking to be stared at by Concubine Li like this.

"You eat more, lose weight like this, others still think I'm abusing you. ”

"Then let someone else think so. Your Majesty, you are doing right and sitting up straight. What gossip are you afraid of? ”

Concubine Li's face finally had some smiles, but this smile was also full of mockery.

"Tomorrow is the family dinner, and you must also attend........."

"I'm afraid the concubine can't. ”

"What?"

"Your Majesty, you have also seen it, I am like this now, and I still have this belly. It's really hard to go out and let the ministers let the royal relatives see the jokes. ”

"Your parents will be here that day, don't you want to see them?"

At the mention of the Taifu couple, Concubine Li's face turned white in an instant.

"Count the days, you haven't seen them in more than a year, have you? ”

"Why is it so kind all of a sudden. ”

Concubine Li's face turned pale and looked away.

The palace people around saw that the atmosphere here was awkward, and they all consciously lowered their heads.

"You go out first. ”

Cheng Qing waved his hand and drove away the palace people.

"Concubine Li. ”

He called to her softly, but received no response.

Concubine Li still tilted her head and didn't say a word.

"What the hell are you hating?"

Cheng Qing stood up, and the bright yellow dragon robe lined his already tall and slender figure even more upright.

He walked up to Concubine Li and slowly crouched down.

Concubine Li didn't look over her head and didn't look at him.

He was not annoyed and gently held her little hand.

In the expected struggle, Cheng Qing used some force to prevent Concubine Li from breaking free.

"Tell me, what are you hating?"

"Hate?"

Concubine Li finally turned her head around.

She looked at the person crouching in front of her amusedly, and the smile on her lips became more and more uncomfortable.

"You've snubbed me for so many years, do you see I hate you?"

As she spoke, her eyes moistened and reddened.

"I'm having such a bad time here, do you see that I hate you?"

"My father was ostracized in the government and the opposition for me, do you see that I hate you?"

"You haven't touched me for so many years, do you hate you when you see me?"

The more she talked about it, the more hoarse Concubine Li's voice became, she choked softly, the pain in her heart, how could she express such an understatement in a few words.

"And what are you hating now?"

Cheng Qing, who is always on top, is squatting in front of her like this at this moment.

The candlelight softens the man's silhouette.

This man has always been so beautiful and good-looking.

It's like when you first saw it.

"The poison of that day was the emperor's. ”

She chuckled, as if the matter had nothing to do with her.

"You're ...... What are you talking about. ”

"Your Majesty, don't pretend. I know. ”

Concubine Li easily withdrew her hand from the man's hand.

"Concubine Li, I think you must have misunderstood something. ”

"Your Majesty, this country is always more important than human life. ”

She gently picked up Cheng Qing's somewhat cold face.

"Human life is the most despise, isn't it? As long as you can achieve your own goals. Even if it's a wife, even if it's a woman who likes you and loves you so much that she can't tell the difference between good and bad, you can still rest assured that you're poisonous. ”

"Concubine Li, I didn't plan what happened to you, this poison is not serious at all........."

"So, poison, it's really you. ”

"Concubine Li, this is for your good. Later, you will understand my good intentions. ”

The red mouth is talking about something.

Concubine Li looked at the face that fascinated her so much.

Once upon a time, she would believe anything this person said.

No matter how many hurtful things he did, she was the one who stood with him.

"Cheng Qing, I really regret it. At that time, I didn't drink the poison. I regret it even more, that year, in the school, it was you who sat next to me. ”

"Shut up. ”

Cheng Qing's voice was a little colder than his face.

Concubine Li didn't seem to hear it, her hand still gently stroked Cheng Qing's face, but in her mouth, it was even more hurtful words.

"Cheng Qing, are you going to put it in the cold palace?"

Cheng Qing stood up suddenly, his face was very bad.

He frowned, his thin lips pursed tightly.

Concubine Li's tone was not a joke at all, on the contrary, she was seriously suggesting to Cheng Qing.

For so many years, Cheng Qing also heard Concubine Li say that she was going to the cold palace for the first time.

Again, he had that feeling.

That feeling of unease.

The last time, it was the time when Concubine Li fainted, and he was scared, thinking that he would lose her.

But in the end, she finally woke up.

This time, he felt it even more strongly than that time.

This time, she seemed to be serious.

Extremely serious.

"I, in this life, I will not send you to the cold palace! Do you think I will do what you want? Even if I torture you for the rest of my life, I am willing! I, how could I let you go so easily?"

Even if it's uneasy, even if it's heartbreaking.

But he couldn't say a word of relief.

His words were full of thorns, just like he was.

It's like a hedgehog covered in thorns, and you can only protect yourself by stabbing others.

Even if it's someone he cares about, he will still only say those hurtful things.

After so many years of power struggle, he has lost his nature more and more.

What's more,

Lost himself.

"Cheng Qing, even if I beg you, give birth to this child, you can let me go. Even if I can only stay in the cold palace for the rest of my life, I am willing. I will, for the rest of my life, pray for you and your children, and hope that you both will be safe and happy. ”

"Shut up!"

A cold kiss was imprinted on her lips.

The man was trembling.

I don't know if it's angry or what's wrong.

The kiss was full of punishment, with a thick sense of blame.

Concubine Li opened her eyes and watched Cheng Qing kiss her.

In the eyes, there is no wave.

"Really, do you hate me so much?"

"Hate. ”

"Do you want to leave like that?"

"Yes. ”

"Let's go. I'll let you go when you give birth. You don't have to go to the cold palace, you will be very free. In this world, there is a place for you. Just think of it as ...... After all these years, I will pay you back. ”
