Chapter Eighty-Nine: Juan'er
Tang Jingchen mourned in his heart, and couldn't help crying, "Lamei, Lamei-"
The fog was filled, Lamei's figure was suddenly invisible, and the long road disappeared at the same time.
Queen Duolun stood there proudly, "Tang Jingchen, you have fornicated with others to filthy the palace, and you should be given death for your crimes!" β
"As for your daughters, they will be handed over to this palace, and this palace will definitely take good care of them."
Tang Jingchen saw Xinyun and Xinpian, they were not wearing silk and satin, but iron wire, and those fine spikes were inserted into the flesh, and the two girls cried in pain, but they couldn't take it off no matter how they struggled.
"Queen Mother, please let my daughter go-" Tang Jingchen knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Duolun pressed the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, "Concubine Jing is really joking, the Empress Dowager's decree, the emperor's holy decree, your daughter has been written into the name of this palace, how can this palace let it go?" β
Xu Xinyue didn't know when she appeared, stroked the top of her heart with one hand, and said with a sympathetic smile: "And me, Sister Concubine Jing, don't worry, I will treat Princess Xin as my own." β
After speaking, she grabbed Xinlian's hair and pulled it out hard, and actually lifted Xinlian's head, Xinlian's head was in a different place, but she cried at Tang Jingchen, "Eniang, save me!" β
Tang Jingchen was stunned, but Xu Xinyue raised her hand and threw her pitiful head over, Tang Jingchen subconsciously caught it, only to see that the little mouth on her little face was still open and closed, "E-niang save me." β
"E-niang save me." There was also a sound in his stomach, Tang Jingchen looked down, and saw that his belly was gradually bulging, and a fetus was struggling inside, his face was blue, but his little hands and feet were constantly exerting force, but after a while, he was motionless.
"Ahh
Tang Jingchen woke up violently and gasped for breath, this is a dream, but this is not a dream, her daughter is being bullied and abused, and she is doing hard labor in the Xinzhi Library.
She developed a high fever.
Now it is the middle of winter, and Xin Zheku actually has charcoal fire, after all, although they are sin slaves, they are not yet to the point of death, and they also need to be in good health, and do some rough work that no one in the palace is willing to do.
Therefore, although it is an inferior charcoal fire, it is enough to keep out the cold.
Yao Mama sent some at that time, she just left with her front foot, Ruoyun came with her back foot, picked up the charcoal basin and said: "You are not the master now, a criminal slave doesn't need this." β
Tang Jingchen couldn't argue, "Everyone in this Xin's library is a slave of sin, how can everyone use it, but I can't use it?" β
Ruoyun was annoyed and ashamed, smashed the black charcoal on Tang Jingchen one by one, and shouted viciously: "I'll let you use it, I'll let you use it!" β
Tang Jingchen didn't say anything, and when Ruoyun left, Fang picked up the swarthy charcoal and put it away, and burned a charcoal basin at night to keep warm, the momentary humiliation was nothing, she had to save her life, she had to live to see her daughters, and the innocent little fetus.
If you want revenge, you must take revenge!
The fighting spirit has just been ignited, but it has been extinguished, revenge is not empty words, but now that she has fallen to this, she can't see those who hurt her, how can she retaliate.
Even in the past, when she was still Concubine Jing, couldn't she fight them, so she suffered such a big loss.
She hated, she wanted to eat those people raw, her lower lip was bleeding, her nails were digging into her palms, but she didn't have a single tear.
can't cry, it's useless to cry, the dead child can't cry back, Xinyun's fate of marrying can't come back, Xinlian is destined to be abused by Xu Xinyue, and she can't cry back.
I want to leave here, I must leave here, Tang Jingchen clenched his fists and swore in a low voice.
Kunning Palace.
The emperor reluctantly came over at the urging of the Queen Mother, and Empress Duolun had already dressed up to greet her.
"I'm busy with business today, I'm a little tired, so I don't need you to serve." The emperor said to Duolun with a cold expression.
"The concubine's little day suddenly came, and she couldn't serve the emperor, so she was planning to ask for your guilt."
The Emperor nodded, "That's very good, then I can rest in the side hall of Kunning Palace for one night." β
Duolun had no objection to this, but said, "The emperor has been wronged." β
She lowered her head and looked like she wanted to cry, "It's just the concubine's bedroom, maybe the emperor is not happy to go in, although the conditions of the side hall are average, maybe the emperor sleeps more steadily." β
Seeing her like this, the emperor inevitably couldn't bear it, he also played with Duolun when he was a child, and he called her Duolun's sister at that time, if it wasn't for the queen mother's insistence on setting her up as her successor, he and Duolun would not have come to this point.
"I remember in a trance, when you were a child, you were very nice to a boy next door?" He asked Doron in a low voice, and made up his mind that if Doron confessed, he was willing to try to let her out of the palace.
Duolun seemed to be taken aback, and hurriedly said: "What is the emperor's words, the concubines are loyal to the emperor, and they will never do anything to be sorry for the emperor, unlike the soup slave, who enjoys the emperor's favor while fornicating with others." β
The emperor's face sank instantly, "I'm tired, the queen should step aside." β
Although it is a side hall, every palace room in Kunning Palace is very gorgeous, and Duolun seems to have been prepared, and the side hall is very comfortable, and the aroma in the incense burner in the corner is curling, and the taste is very good.
Shu Ying walked in with a tea tray, bowed her head and said to the emperor: "The emperor has been busy for a day, and the slave maid stewed a bowl of egg custard for the emperor to make supper." β
The emperor's heart moved, and he couldn't help but take the bowl, it was really just a bowl of egg custard, only sprinkled with some sesame oil, without any other ingredients, this kind of folk practice, there is no such thing in the palace, the egg custard in the palace, either meat or shrimp, two bites are greasy.
He only ate this egg custard when he was in a small mountain village on the outskirts of Beijing.
couldn't help but pick up the spoon and scoop it into his mouth, it was a familiar taste in his childhood, he couldn't help but close his eyes, what appeared in front of him was the scenery of the village, and ...... The girl.
"What does the emperor think of the taste?" Shu Ying's voice sounded.
The emperor couldn't help but think of another voice, with some shyness and apprehension, "How does it taste, this is the first time I've made it." β
His heart shook violently, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the girl standing in front of him, she was wearing a goose-yellow cotton dress, combing her braids, and looking down with a smile, which gradually coincided with the figure in his heart.
Niu Huijuan, he whispered this name in his heart, and asked Shu Ying, "What is your name?" β
"When the slave maid was at home, my father and mother called me Juan'er, and later entered the palace as an errand boy, and the queen changed her name to Shu Ying."
This is her statement after many discussions with Empress Duolun, as the maid of the former empress, her name has been called for many years, and the emperor cannot not have the slightest impression, so he can only say so.
Even the sound is so similar.
"Juan'erβ" The emperor stroked Shu Ying's face, pulled her into his arms, and lifted her chin with his fingers, "From now on, she will be called Juan'er." β
