Chapter 128: Guilt
Concubine Duan sat quietly on the bed, and Guixiang knelt and didn't even dare to breathe hard. She has been by the side of the second lady for so many years, and she has seen a lot of faces, but she has never been so afraid as now.
Concubine Duan's nervous mood has never been before, she always feels that things are very strange, there should be something that she has ignored, so she feels so passive now. At the same time, she regretted a little that she shouldn't have listened to her mother's words in the first place, so risky. Even if the emperor doesn't put her in his eyes, at least she can be safe and secure, and she doesn't have to be so frightened now.
"Cinnamon incense."
"Yes, sissy."
Concubine Duan's cold voice made Guixiang feel a little harsh, but she still knocked her head to the ground,
"Now, go to Zhengyang Palace to guard."
"Zhengyang Palace? What does Niang mean? ”
Concubine Duan raised her face and looked at Guixiang fiercely,
"If that medicine really works, what will happen to the concubine Niangniang who will enter the Zhengyang Palace next?"
Cinnamon stammered,
"It's just, even if it's a lady's concubine, it's nothing, it's the emperor's concubine."
"Stupid! Concubine Shu is still pregnant! What if there's something to do! ”
Concubine Duan casually threw the incense box at the head of the bed to Guixiang, Guixiang couldn't dodge, and the incense box smashed directly on her forehead. But she just glanced at Concubine Duan's eyes, and she didn't dare to say anything and crawled out.
Concubine Duan gasped heavily, glaring at the door where Guixiang went out. After maintaining this action for a long time, a cold night breeze blew in, and I shivered as if I was awake, and looked at the other furnishings in the room in a daze. Concubine Duan got up, tidied up all the clothes on her body and got out of bed. She paced lightly, not knowing where to go.
Chu Yugong was already a small number of people, and the little girls didn't know where they went, so they chewed their tongues and went to sleep. She walked barefoot, tucked her clothes, and headed to the backyard. She seemed to know where she was going, and her steps became more and more steady. Finally, she walked outside Guixiang's room, gently pushed the door open, and saw the green pastries on the table.
It was she who told Guixiang to leave some alone, because she wanted to eat them herself. But she has been reluctant, she always feels that there is no more after eating, and it is still put here like this, how to say it is also a thought. She sat down slowly, picking up a small piece with her hand and placing it in the innermost part. Although it has been a long time, she still eats so sweet and delicious, and even feels warm, and the cold feeling just now has dissipated.
In front of her, it seemed that the glowing man on Carney Island was walking towards her, and she was smiling.
Guixiang didn't know if she was tired or bleeding too much, so she fell asleep so deeply. When she woke up, it was already dawn, and she didn't attract anyone's attention when she hid in the corner, and she tried to straighten up slightly, but she felt a sharp pain in her forehead being torn again.
"Isn't this the cinnamon of the Chuyu Palace? How is it here? ”
Guixiang turned around suddenly, and all she saw was looking down at her proudly,
"Man, Aunt Man'er."
Man'er looked at Guixiang's dejected appearance and chuckled,
"I'm young, you don't have to call me aunt, just call me girl."
"Yes, yes, Man'er girl, Man'er girl."
Man'er frowned slightly, always feeling that Guixiang was very strange, whether it was because of staying here, or because of the hair that was scattered on her forehead. Suddenly, Man'er's eyes widened, because she saw the blood on Guixiang's forehead, but at this time, Qi Xin, who had been sitting on the arrogant chariot and did not speak, opened her mouth,
"Alright, Man'er, let's go in quickly. Chang Gui's father-in-law said that it was a very important matter. ”
Man'er nodded, but in the end he didn't say anything, just looked at Guixiang with a deep forehead and went back.
After the queen's arrogance walked away, Guixiang stood up tremblingly against the wall. But immediately she sensed that something was wrong, and the palace maids and eunuchs passing by her were all in a hurry. Only then did she remember that she was on her way to Zhengyang Palace, and she suddenly felt bad in her heart.
Guixiang hurriedly grabbed a little palace maid who hurriedly passed by her side,
"What's going on? What happened? ”
The palace maid obviously didn't know Guixiang, but looking at Guixiang's age, she still said politely,
"It was said that Concubine Shuniang had an accident in Zhengyang Palace."
After finishing speaking, the little palace maid also ran away in a hurry, Guixiang was stunned in place at a loss, and suddenly came to her senses, wanting to run in the direction of the Jade Palace.
Qi Xin had a good night's sleep, but when he woke up in the morning, before he had eaten, a little eunuch came from Zhengyang Palace to spread the word, saying that Concubine Shuniang had an accident in Zhengyang Palace, and Chang Gui's father-in-law shouted to hurry over and take a look.
Man'er frowned and looked at the little eunuch who left in a hurry,
"After Concubine Shu went to Zhengyang Palace last night, she didn't come back. What's going on again, don't let the queen worry when you get up early in the morning. ”
Qi Xin ate the porridge gently and didn't say anything.
When Qi Xin came down from the arrogance under the mother of Changxin, the first thing he saw was Chang Gui. However, he didn't show his enthusiasm for Chang Gui in ordinary times, just nodded and said hello faintly. Chang Gui had other things in his heart, obviously he didn't notice the change in Qixin's attitude, and Chang Gui was still hesitating in his heart about how to open his mouth to Qixin.
Qi Xin was expressionless, and gently stepped into the gate of Zhengyang Palace, but when he crossed the threshold again, the hand holding Chang Xin became more and more forceful. Chang Xin bowed his head slightly, and used himself as a support for Qixin all the way.
Walking to the door of Zhengyang Palace, it happened that Meng Zhangshi came out of it, and hurriedly packed his luggage after seeing Qi Xin.
"See the queen mother, the mother is a thousand years old."
Everyone knelt down together, and Qixin only nodded slightly, without an expression of meaning. Qi Xin wanted to go inside, Meng Zhangshi gritted his teeth, and still opened his mouth and said,
"Queen Mother, take care of your body, don't move the liver fire, Weichen is here to guard."
Standing in place and nodding in unison, Chang Gui took the opportunity to follow,
"Niangniang, let the minions mix with you."
Qi Xin slowly turned his head, looked at Chang Gui, and said coldly,
"No need, this palace still wants to stay by this palace and feel at ease."
Chang Gui was stunned, but he still maintained basic etiquette, nodded and stepped back. I thought that Qi Xin would enter the dormitory like this, but Qi Xin suddenly seemed to remember something, and turned his head to look at Chang Gui and asked,
"Father-in-law Chang, if last night, it was my sister who spent the night in this Zhengyang Palace, what about Concubine Duan? Shouldn't last night be the concubine's bedtime? ”
Chang Gui opened his mouth,
"Yes, sis. But after Concubine Shu came, Concubine Duan left. ”
"That's right."
After Qi Xin finished speaking, he strode towards the dormitory.
There was a smell of blood quietly in the room, which made Qi Xin feel disgusted, and finally held back, and when she looked up, the figure made her want to vomit even more.
Beiqi stood far away, the expression on his face was very subtle, with grievances and sadness, but more guilt. (To be continued.) )
