Chapter 16: Unreal

After returning to the courtyard, I asked my mother-in-law and learned that the West House in the courtyard was still empty, so I immediately ordered someone to move all Su Muyun's things to the West House, and then asked Su Muyun to go and see her residence in person, and told her that if there was a shortage of anything, just come and tell me.

I said this, but Su Muyun still stood motionless, and even told me that she wanted to go to my room first and chat with me.

She said this seemingly casually, but there was a hint of nervousness in her eyes.

Is she trying to tell me something?

My eyebrows moved slightly, I thought secretly for a moment, and said with a light smile: "It just so happens that I also want to chat with you, so you can go and have a look after someone brings your things." ”

"Okay." After she finished speaking, she followed my steps and went into the house.

I sat down with her, and when Magnolia brought tea and pastries, I let everyone in the house go out.

At this time, only me and Su Muyun were left in the room. She suddenly put away her lively appearance before, and the whole person was much calmer for a while, and I looked at her steadily, feeling that it was like two people.

I didn't hover with her much more, and when I opened my mouth, I asked, "Is there anything you want to say to me?" ”

She didn't hide it, nodded slightly, and looked at me with a look full of worry, "Concubine Song, now His Royal Highness is very fond of you, but the concubine also has to remind the concubine, don't be tempted by Your Highness, this is the most terrible thing in the inner courtyard of the East Palace." ”

I lowered my eyes, avoiding her gaze, and said quietly, "Why?" ”

Her face was heavy and very serious: "Does the side concubine want to know how the concubine came to the East Palace?" Maybe after listening to it, the concubine will know all the reasons. ”

My face was as pale as still water, but my heart gradually sank, and I was silent for a long time before I said softly: "You say." ”

She also looked at me for a long time, sighed secretly, and said slowly: "The concubine was originally the daughter of the governor of Lingzhou, and she also had a good family affair after the concubine, but later because her father was arrested and imprisoned for tax evasion, the concubine's mother's family plummeted, and her mother had to pull the concubine to the street to sell in order to support her younger brother. ”

She paused slightly, her eyes gradually moved to the window, and she continued to recall the past: "It was then that the concubine met His Royal Highness the Prince..." ”

Aya-girl... Is it really still related to her?

My mood grew heavier and my breathing became heavier.

"Miss Aya was kind-hearted, and when she saw that the concubine was pitiful, she asked Her Highness to buy the concubine back. At that time, His Royal Highness was not the crown prince, but only the most inconspicuous of the princes, the concubine followed His Royal Highness and the Aya girl back to his mansion at that time, and served them with peace of mind, but then for some reason, the Aya girl suddenly disappeared overnight, and since then His Royal Highness has been decadent for many days, staying in the Aya girl's bedroom all day long and refusing to come out, not thinking about tea and dinner, and unable to sleep at night. ”

Listening to her tell about Fu Yuying's deep love for another girl, I couldn't help but feel a little sad.

It turns out that I am so affectionate, but I will also worry about other girls...?

"But fortunately, His Royal Highness finally woke up from his grief, but since then, His Royal Highness has become indifferent and silent, and he only wants to sit on the throne of the crown prince, so he married the current crown princess, in order to get the support of the Guogong Mansion, and after that, he accepted two side concubines, which is also to gain the support of other ministers in the court."

I can't help but wonder, if the people Fu Yuying married were all helpful to him, then why did Su Muyun become a concubine?

"Then you..."

Hearing my question, she lowered her eyes again, smiled slightly, and then replied to me: "One day, Concubine Chu called the concubine over, and she told the concubine that she could help the concubine get rid of the status of a slave, but the premise was to be loyal to her. Therefore, in fact, the concubine body was just the person introduced to the prince by Concubine Chu. ”

"Moreover, His Royal Highness has never touched the concubine's body, or rather, except for you and the crown princess, in the entire East Palace, he has not touched anyone."

I was skeptical, frowned and asked her, "What about Concubine Lin?" “

She shook her head and replied, "No, although His Highness used to go to see Concubine Lin more often, but every time she just chatted with His Highness." ”

When she had finished speaking, the room fell silent, and I thought for a moment before suddenly asking her, "Why do you tell me this?" ”

I don't believe that someone who is only a few acquaintances would come to advise me so bitterly.

She met my suspicious gaze and said with a smile: "If you say that there is no purpose, it will definitely not, Concubine Song, you are the person who is most likely to win the last in the entire East Palace, so the concubine is helping you now, in fact, it is helping the concubine herself." ”

Her expression was extremely serious, and the atmosphere in the room became heavier.

After being silent for a moment, she spoke up again: "There is another reason, in the past, Miss Aya treated the concubine very well, and when the concubine saw you for the first time, she felt that you were very similar to Miss Aya, not similar in appearance, but the temperament and expression between gestures and gestures, which are simply the same, and even, as well as the mint fragrance on your body, are also Miss Aya's favorite, so the concubine body is reluctant to see you because His Royal Highness is sad and sad." ”

It's mine... Temperament and looks.. And the smell of mint on the body?

I suddenly had the feeling of being woken up by someone on the head, and it was like floating on the surface of the water to see all the three thousand lotus flowers, thinking that the world was beautiful about this, but suddenly being pushed into the bottom of the water and seeing the sludge hidden under all the beauty.

Everything is just a surface.

My behavior, my demeanor, and even my habits were only imperceptibly influenced by Fu Yuying, I thought that all of this was Fu Yuying's preference, but it turned out that he was only influenced by another person.

I said why did he hold my face and call other people's names......

I said why he likes to hear me play the piano......

It turned out that it was all just because I had unknowingly turned myself into another person.

I couldn't calm down, but I didn't want Su Muyun to see my abnormality, so I could only forcibly maintain my calmness on my face and keep drinking tea to relieve the grief in my heart.

"Concubine Fang, so you must not fall in love with His Highness." She frowned at me and said earnestly, "No matter how much he loves you, you can't fall into it, because he just treats you as her, and if you are tempted by him, you will definitely lose badly." ”

Too late... I knew everything too late...

I had another sleepless night.

Counting up, since I married in the East Palace for two months, this is the third time that I can't sleep all night.

I know that when I wake up tomorrow morning, my hair that I once cherished the most will fall out a lot, but as soon as I close my eyes, my mind is full of the word Aya.

She never appeared with me, but she made me worry for many days, my sorrow, my annoyance, all my negativity, from this name.

Childhood sweetheart, deep love...

These are incomparable to me, even though Fu Yuying and I were born and died, even though I am the person who knows him best, but these can never compare to the good years that the person in his heart spent with him.

Although I felt sad, I didn't want to cry**.

I curled up alone in the covers, staring at the darkness in front of me, and I didn't come out of the covers until the air was so thin that it was hard for me to breathe.

With my chin down on the futon, I was still curled up in the corner, staring at the wall in a daze.

I don't know how long it took for the dim room to open up, but I still shrank like this, not wanting to move.

"Side concubine? ... Side concubine? ”

It was Magnolia's two soft calls that pulled my mind back.

I didn't want her to find out anything, so I quickly lifted the futon and sat up from the bed, but what I didn't expect was that Magnolia suddenly came over and hugged me.

"Although the slave maid didn't know what the concubine had to say, the slave maid thought that this might make the concubine's heart feel a little better."

The softest part of my heart was suddenly poked, and I could no longer contain my sadness, and my hands went around her waist and hugged her like a helpless child.

I took a deep breath and a smile suddenly appeared on my face, I slowly closed my eyes and whispered to her, "Thank you." ”

"Concubine Fang, maybe you will feel better if you say it... Don't worry, the slave will never tell anyone. ”

I smiled and shook my head, still silent.

It's not that I don't want to say it, it's that I really can't say it, I'm afraid that if I say it, my emotions will collapse immediately, and I'm afraid I won't even be able to support the peace on my face.

I let go of her body, looked at her worried face, and comforted her, "I'm fine, serve me to change my clothes." ”

As I spoke, I stepped out of bed.

I never like to share my sorrow with others, all the pain and sadness, so much I bear alone, after a long time, this has become a habit of mine.

happened to be grounded, and I don't need to fight so much, it's better to take this opportunity to precipitate, perhaps, it will dilute my feelings for Fu Yuying.

But I always can't control myself, and when I am idle, I think about him, about the past, some of which make me happy and some of which make me sad.

Although he was grounded, Fu Yuying also instructed the small kitchen to provide all meals according to the past, and no disadvantage was allowed.

However, I don't know if it's because of my poor appetite lately, it's been a few days on end, and I don't have any appetite at all when I look at these dishes.

At that day, breakfast had just been delivered from the kitchen, and I didn't eat a few bites when I suddenly became nauseous and retched several times, which scared Yulan.

I think about it, but I can't help but feel worried, I have been sleeping hard in the past few days, and I have no appetite for the food I have been delivered, and I suddenly have nausea today......

Could it be that someone has put some chronic poison in my meals?

"Yulan, you go and tell the guard at the door, just say that I am sick and need to ask the imperial doctor to come and see, if he refuses, you can tell the prince to press him, remember to go out, don't go to the people in the hospital, go to Xu Shining."

"Doctor Xu?" Yulan was a little surprised, "But isn't he the special doctor next to the prince?" ”

"You just have to go and ask for me, just say it's for me."

Magnolia frowned, still a little uneasy, stayed for a while, and saw that I still didn't say anything more, so she had to turn around and leave the house.
