Chapter 171: Dispersion
Chapter 171: Dispersion
"Your Majesty, the people of the Song Palace have woken up and want to see the emperor." Sui'er took Liu Zhao's hand and clenched it hard, with a comforting expression on her face. Liu Zhao's eyes flashed, he sighed, suppressed his anger, and walked towards the inner hall.
Song Jun just coughed up a mouthful of blood, but felt that the depression in his chest had disappeared a little, but the huge pain in his chest was difficult to go away, a trace of sweat came out on the top of his head, and the flush on his face expanded little by little. It's just that she doesn't know any of this, she just thinks about it and asks the emperor to save her child.
Liu Zhao stared at Song Jun, who had grievances with her and suffered a lot, her heart was very heavy, her slightly closed eyes opened due to his arrival, her cloudy eyes slowly turned to herself, struggling to sit up from the bed, her pale face was distorted by pain, and fine beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, as if every movement was a huge torture.
Liu Zhao pressed down her body with her hand, and she exhaled heavily, "Your Majesty! Her voice was so weak that it seemed to be a whisper.
"I'm here, I know about you, and I will definitely return the child to you, I know your heart for Sheng'er best, don't think about it, leave everything to me."
Song Jun tried his best to show a smile, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the concubine won't be able to do it, I'm already weak, and I'm also supporting Sheng'er these days, but now I'm in a hurry, and I don't have the strength to struggle anymore." Your Majesty, I beg you one thing. β
Liu Zhao was sad in his heart, and two lines of tears fell, "Don't think nonsense, I won't let you die, the imperial doctor is next to you, everything will be fine, haven't you seen Sheng'er come back yet?" β
Song Jun coughed twice and spit out a mouthful of blood, and Sui'er hurriedly wiped it off for her with a handkerchief. She looked at Sui'er and then at Liu Zhao, tears poured out of her eyes, as if the depression, resentment, and misery that had been accumulated for a long time poured out like a tide of opening the floodgates, "Your Majesty." Deng Guiren. My heart is bitter! She suddenly let out a terrible and painful cry, and her whole body shook violently.
Chen Li stood at the door, angry and aggrieved just now. fell into such a huge emotional vortex again, as if in a nightmare. Listening to Song Jun's hoarse and desperate cry, he wanted to pull out his legs and escape from here.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Song Jun took Liu Zhao's hand. Her bone-like fingers held Liu Zhao tightly. The complexion on his face became more and more withered, like a shriveled human skin, with a terrifying dead air.
"The concubine only asks the emperor for one thing, and there is only this one thing. The emperor wants to promise his concubines. β
Liu Zhao's heart tightened for a while, but he nodded with a wry smile: "I promise you, what are you going to say?" β
"Your Majesty. You send Sheng'er out of the palace and let the people raise it. It's okay to let the big family raise it, just don't let Sheng'er stay in the palace anymore, don't let him be the emperor, let him be a small common man calmly, marry a wife and have children, be with his beloved, don't want so many concubines, don't want so many women to suffer for him. The more she spoke, the quieter her voice became, and she almost didn't want to hear it.
"Let Xiao Huixin be buried with me, she is also a bitter person like me." She suddenly opened her eyes wide, revealing a hint of a smile, and her voice softened, "Your Majesty, do you remember the pear blossoms in the Pear Blossom Pavilion?" They are about to bloom, so beautiful, that year, I was pregnant with Sheng'er, and danced under the pear tree, so beautiful! A smile tugged at the corner of her lips, like a river of spring water that had just melted the ice and snow. The gradually dull undereyes glowed with a sparkling glow again. She seemed to be extremely tired, and there was a quiet ethereal and relieved look in her eyes.
"Jun'er, I promise you." Liu Zhao's tears rained down on her face. She raised her head, overwhelmed to the side, her eyelashes like a feather lowered, and a clear tear fell from her eyes and fell into Liu Zhao's hand holding her, a little warmer.
Liu Zhao cried and gently stroked away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and all the things she had when she first entered the palace came to her heart, and she was even more heartbroken, sobbing and trembling all over. "Your Majesty, don't cry for me, I'm not worth it, I'm going to see Li Meiren, the sins I have done, one day I will taste the consequences, Your Majesty, I want the child back, I can't give it to the queen." I can't grow up with him, you don't let him be bullied! She gradually fell silent, lying there quietly, like a summer afternoon, she slept on the couch by the window, her shallow sleeves showing her arms like snow lotus powder, the golden sunlight covering her eyelashes, like a golden butterfly resting on her eyes, so peaceful.
There was a quiet smile on the corner of her lips, as if she saw the extremely beautiful self back then, lingering by Liu Zhao's side, the two laughed, innocent and picturesque. She finally let out a long breath and closed her eyes forever.
"Jun'er!" Liu Zhaofu cried loudly on the couch, Sui'er didn't speak, and slowly walked out of the apse, the evergreen trees in the courtyard rustled in the breeze, and such a chill hit her body so suddenly. It was as if she had experienced a nightmare, and the anxiety and powerlessness of the nightmare clinged to her body like sweat, making her nearly collapse. Liu Zhao's cry was still echoing in the hall, and a cold rain slid down and fell on Sui'er's face and body. The moss under the palace walls spread in with moisture, and even the bottom of my heart was as cold as a barren death.
Song Jun still left, with countless unwillingness, and countless memories left like this. She still remembers the weak and delicate appearance when she first saw her, and she came to talk to her many times, talking about the lonely days in the palace, talking about her Sheng'er, and talking about Liu Zhao.
Sui'er once thought that there would be such days of crying and laughing together in the palace, and they were in the shadow of the trees after the autumn, drinking tea and talking in a whisper, and Sheng'er was running beside them, sometimes giggling, and all this floated to the point that there was not a penny left.
She stood numbly, and Chen Li's voice came from behind her: "Noble lady, is she going like this?" β
Sui'er nodded, and there was a mourning sound from the cloud board behind him, and the mourning sound was everywhere, and the sharp mourning sound broke the depression of the harem: "Song Palace peopleββ"
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the cold rain seemed to engulf their petite bodies, Sui'er hugged Chen Li's shoulders, and the two hugged each other, sitting on the cold bluestone, crying and crying. For myself, and for this cannibalistic court.
Liu Zhao issued an order to bring Liu Sheng back to the West Palace. The queen lost her morality, temporarily retrieved the seal of the emperor and queen, and put her under house arrest in Changqiu Palace. The spring of this year seems to have been spent in such a rainy period. The events of that day made the hearts of all the concubines branded with an unspeakable gloom, and no one was in the mood to think about how to live in the future. But the palace still needs someone to take care of it, and Sui'er refused to assist in the right to manage the six palaces, so Liu Zhao had no choice but to hand over the Yin Glass Seal again and cancel the house arrest.
Yin glass because of Song Jun's matter. I also feel ashamed in my heart. It was also a little more restrained, but it seemed that the palace was exceptionally quiet. Since Song Jun's death, Liu Zhao's mood has also become extremely depressed. I often drink until late at night, and I don't come to Sui'er as often as I used to. But his concern for Sui'er has not changed, and he often asks Cai Lun to reward some things.
In the blink of an eye, it's the Dragon Boat Festival again, and Song Jun's death these days. made Sui'er's mood depressed to the extreme, she and Liu Zhao are both temperamental. I felt sad, and when I was together, I was even more sad when I remembered the events of the day, and I deliberately avoided Liu Zhao. Sometimes he called himself sick and asked Liu Zhao to go to other people's palaces.
Liu Zhao's changes are even more obvious, not only pampering the five unspoiled palace people. The Yuan sisters were also crowned nobles. In addition to coming to Sui'er for three or two days, he also stayed in the palaces of other concubines at other times. But in general, Sui'er is the most, and there are more queens.
At night, it was Sui'er's bedtime, and it rained lightly in the middle of the night, because there was something in his heart, his sleep was light, and he couldn't sleep when he woke up. Liu Zhaozheng slept soundly, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and he seemed to be extremely depressed in his dreams. Every night, when I came, I would be very crazy, as if I was going to break her, and then I would get drunk and fall asleep, and I often read Song Jun's name in my dreams.
Sui'er stroked his eyebrows and sighed, he said that he loved her, but he often felt sad and sad because of other women, is this feeling love? What is love? She is often moved by him, and she will feel bad about him pampering other concubines, but every time he comes, she will do her duty as a concubine and wait for him without a trace of complaint. Is this love? Or is it not? That kind of extremely calm performance is completely different from when she was with Liu Qing, that is, she is really heartbroken, sad, and even missing. Could it be that he has always loved Liu Qing deeply, instead of the king in front of him? But when he saw Liu Qing, he didn't have that feeling, could it be that his heart was dead the moment he gave up on her? Never again? She bewitched herself. Looking out the window quietly, the thin quilt slipped off her shoulders, revealing her smooth skin.
Liu Zhao turned over slightly, seemed to hear the sound of rain outside the window, and touched Sui'er with his hand, but felt empty. When he opened his eyes, he saw her standing in front of the window, clothed.
"Sui'er? How did you wake up? β
"The concubine heard that it was raining outside, and she couldn't sleep, so she got up to watch the rain and made a noise to the emperor, right?" Sui'er came over and put on clothes for Liu Zhao. The clothes on his body slipped off, and his delicate body seductively stimulated Liu Zhao.
"Sui'er!" Liu Zhao panted lightly and pulled Sui'er into his arms and kissed her red lips lightly.
"Sui'er, do you have something on your mind?" Liu Zhao asked.
Sui'er shook his head, "No" In the faint candlelight, it was scattered in his arms like black.
"Don't lie to me. Sui'er won't lie. Liu Zhao doted on her clothes and hugged her body tightly.
Sui'er leaned against his chest tightly, and her little hand wrapped around his neck, "Your Majesty, Sui'er doesn't know if she is tempted by the emperor, for a long time, Sui'er has never been jealous of other women, but they have been eating Sui'er's vinegar, is it that Sui'er is not sincere to the emperor?" β
"You're telling me the truth, aren't you?" Liu Zhao's voice was cold.
"Is the emperor angry with Sui'er?" Sui'er raised her eyes to look at him, her long eyelashes trembling, and her heart felt quite bitter.
"Am I bad for Sui'er?" Liu Zhao asked her, although he still hugged her tightly, his hands became unusually cold.
"The emperor is very good to Sui'er, and Sui'er is also full of gratitude to the emperor, but I-"
"Why are you saying this to me? Are you trying to tell me that you have the Imperial Brother in mind, not me? Liu Zhao let go of his hand and put her on the couch, his eyes filled with grief and indignation.
"The emperor is a Ming monarch, what kind of person the concubine is, the emperor should see it clearly." Sui'er turned her face and looked at the overlapping shadows of the two in the depths of the curtain, and suddenly felt a heartache that she had never felt before. (To be continued)
