Chapter 49: The Truth

She opened her hand and let the blood-stained hairpin fall to the ground, just looked at her empty hands and muttered to herself in despair, and suddenly grabbed Ling Ruo's shoulder and said, "There is one thing you said wrong, this palace doesn't hate Hesheli Fang'er very much, this palace is very afraid of her; When the Japanese palace saw you here for the first time, I was really scared, afraid that another Hesheri Fang'er would appear, and that everything that the Japanese palace had now would come to naught!"

"The emperor loves her deeply, because the palace said the wrong word, the emperor snubbed the palace for seven years, seven years, the most beautiful seven years of the palace have passed like this, no one pities and no one appreciates, and I can't sleep at night. The most pitiful thing is that the child in this palace is just infected with the wind and cold, and it can be cured, but because the imperial doctor refused to come to diagnose and treat him, he delayed his illness and went like this. Tears poured down, constantly crossing the pale and aging face, the hand holding Ling Ruo's shoulder continued to exert force, and the nails that had not been cut for a long time were broken one after another, as if this could alleviate the pain when she recalled the death of the child, "The child who held his breath in his arms cried so much that he wished that the person who died was himself. ”

Ling Ruo was speechless, even though she hated Concubine Rong for harming herself like she did at the beginning, but when she heard these words, she was also speechless, hateful people must have pity, and Concubine Rong's pity is that she has been living in the shadow of Empress Xiaochengren.

After a long time, she endured the pain in her shoulder and said, "Your child is innocent, but what about me?" All these things have nothing to do with me, but you insist on taking them upon me. ”

"Who can blame? If you want to blame it, you have a face like Hesheri Fang'er. And......" Concubine Rong let go of her, staggered back a few steps, looked around at the empty and cold palace and showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, "And this palace has already been retributed, hasn't it?" Confinement here is better than death. ”

"I just want to know who told you about me and Rong Yuan. You and the crown princess have lived in the palace for a long time, and it is impossible for you to come into contact with things in the outside world, not to mention that only a few people know about this matter, even if the crown princess's Ama is impossible to know. This is the real purpose of her coming to Jingren Palace, from the day she was sent by Concubine Rong Guifei, she has always had a question in her heart, who is secretly harming herself. As for who it is like...... Of course, there are doubts, but it is not necessary to ask for clarification, it is just an excuse.

After venting the pain and grief that she had endured for many years, Concubine Rong's emotions seemed to have calmed down a lot, she wiped away the tears on her face and said silently: "What about knowing the Dao, everything is a foregone conclusion, and you can't change anything at all today, it's just a matter of adding pain." ”

"It's better to be miserable than to be confused for a lifetime." This was Ling Ruo's answer to Concubine Rong, but she already had a faint premonition in her heart.

Concubine Rong stared at her for a long time, and the madness in her eyes gradually precipitated until there were no waves, like a pool of still water. Mourning is greater than heart death, her heart died as early as the day she was grounded by Kangxi, but a breath of resentment never dissipated.

Looking up at the dusty gold painting on the roof, this is not like her life, once glorious and glorious, and ultimately all to blame in the dust, since Kangxi entered the palace in the sixth year, it has been a full thirty-eight years, most of her life is spent in the Forbidden City's struggle for favor and power, with unimaginable wealth and unspeakable suffering......

If she had a choice, she would rather never enter the palace and never see the king, so that she could be an ordinary woman and find an ordinary but loving husband to spend her ordinary life.

And Kangxi, pacifying Sanfan, recovering Taiwan, and resisting foreign invasion, is undoubtedly an extremely outstanding man, rare to see in thousands of years, such a man is not something she can have, at best he can only be one of the countless women who pursue his figure.

"Is Ling Ruo?" She suddenly withdrew her gaze and asked, the corners of her lips curled slightly, and she couldn't see a trace of anger.

"Yes." Ling Ruo subconsciously agreed, this was the first time Concubine Rong had called her so gently, although she couldn't say where, but her intuition told her that Concubine Rong was different from just now.

Concubine Rong slowly brushed her messy hair carefully, until she was not messy, and said slowly: "Sometimes being confused is not necessarily not a blessing, if I can be confused when I am as old as you, maybe there will be many incidents in the future. ”

This time, she did not call herself the palace again, and there was a rare sincerity in her words, and there was a lot of exhortation, which showed that she was really good for Ling Ruo. The world is really strange, who would have thought that not long ago these two people were enemies of life and death.

"People can pretend to be confused but can't be really confused, otherwise I'm afraid that I won't know who harmed me until I die, not to mention that if he can harm me once, he may not be able to harm me a second time, if the concubine is really good for me, please make it clear." A cold light flashed in Ling Ruo's eyes, his heart that was once indisputable with the world had gradually sharpened its edges and corners in the cruel reality, and he could not go back to the past.

Concubine Rong looked at her for a long time, and suddenly sighed lowly, "What you said also makes some sense, the most terrible thing in this world is that you have a heart and no heart, if you don't watch out for it, it's easy to suffer." Well, I'll tell you, man...... It's Shiqiu porcelain! ”

When Concubine Rong spit out the three words Shi Qiuci, it seemed that thunder exploded in her ears, so that she could no longer hear other sounds, and only a fragmented sentence kept echoing in her mind.

Count her...... Who harmed her...... Sister......

"Nope! No way! Ling Ruo's first reaction when she came back to her senses was to deny Concubine Rong's words, she clutched her ears tightly and shouted loudly, as if this was the only way to convince herself that this was not true.

Concubine Rong looked at Ling Ruo with a little pity and forbearance in her eyes, "I said that you will suffer because of this. ”

Ling Ruo shook his head vigorously and said in a panic: "No, no, I have known her for more than ten years, she has a kind and gentle temperament, and she will never harm me." It's you! She pointed at Concubine Rong and trembled: "It must be you who want to separate our sisters, so you made up such words to lie to me!" Yes, it has to be so, it has to be so. ”

These words were not so much accusing Concubine Rong as they were words that Ling Ruo used to comfort herself, only in this way could she draw a line between Qiu Ci and the person who harmed her.

"Knowing people and faces does not know the heart, and it is difficult to draw the heart with skin and bones. Did I lie to you, you know best in your heart, I have lived in the deep palace with the crown princess for a long time, this news naturally came from the palace, and the only one who was familiar with you among so many show girls at that time was Shi Qiuci, and the only one who knew about you and Xu Rongyuan was Shi Qiuci, who else could there be? ”

Every word Rong Guifei said was like a steel needle poking her heart, the pain was so painful that she could barely breathe, and her body fell to the cold and biting ground as if she had been drained of her strength, looking at the tears that fell on the back of her hand and muttered: "For what, why is she doing this?" I've always regarded her as my own sister, why did she hurt me? ”

Concubine Rong smiled lightly, raised her head and said: "You won't forget where this is, the Forbidden City, the place where there are the most women in the world, there is no sword and sword, but there is the most cruel battle in the world, for the sake of power and grace, everything can be done, even your own sister can betray not to mention your sister who has no blood and bones, you are too naΓ―ve." ”
