CHAPTER XX

Liu Yi got up and walked to Concubine Li, hugged Concubine Li, looked at the person crying in his arms, and said softly: "Okay, don't cry, you know all your suffering." ”

Concubine Li shrunk in Liu Yi's arms, her eyes were hazy with tears, and she continued: "The concubine guards this lonely deep palace every day, and she is no longer the princess of the Chu State, but the concubine of the Emperor of the Yan State. I can no longer ride a horse willfully and chase deer with my father and brother in the hunting grounds of Chu State. I can only play these tunes here every day, thinking about the past. ”

Concubine Li's tears seemed to be gone, so she broke free from Liu Yi's embrace, walked to the cage with the parrot, took the spoon to feed the birds, filled some bird food and handed it in, only to see the parrot put his beak into the spoon and took an almond, tilted his head, and the almond fell into the parrot's mouth. Concubine Li didn't know whether she was laughing at this parrot or laughing at herself, but said, "Your Majesty, look at this parrot." If a man loses his freedom, he is like a parrot in this cage. It's just that this parrot doesn't know anything, so he will live happily in this cage. But the concubine is a living person. ”

Liu Yi also knows Concubine Li's suffering, many of these concubines are not really good friends with her, not only because she is a noble foreign princess, but also because she is the emperor's favorite concubine. Liu Yi doesn't go to the harem often, and when he entered the harem, he went to Concubine Li six times out of ten, but they didn't know that Concubine Li didn't really get Liu Yi's heart. Liu Yi has never called Concubine Li's maiden name, Luoyan.

Her surname is Xiao, and her name is Xiao Luoyan, not Concubine Li in Liu Yi's mouth.

Liu Yi pretended not to know, pulled Concubine Li and walked to the dormitory, and said, "Okay, change your clothes and go to sleep, don't think too much." In this palace, thinking too much will only kill you. ”

Concubine Li is also interested, and she doesn't continue to talk, after all, whatever she says, it won't enter Liu Yi's heart, she is only living for her home country now, just like when she first entered the palace, everything is just for her mother country.

Concubine Li walked to the dresser and took down the silver hairpin, Liu Yi was already lying on the inside of the bed, covered with a quilt, and he was lying on his side facing the wall, as if he was asleep. Concubine Li also hid under the quilt and fell asleep facing outside.

In the past eight years, she and Liu Yi have been lying in the same bed, but they are just in the same bed and have different dreams.

Concubine Li dreamed of Xu Yanjun tonight, which was the name of the queen of the dynasty.

Concubine Li dreamed of the day when Xu Yanjun had a miscarriage, and the bloody atmosphere in the dormitory came. In the hall, there was a woman lying on the bed crying, and the sound of wailing filled the entire Fengwu Palace. She stood outside the hall with all the concubines, listening to the heart-rending cries of the women in the dormitory.

She was a little scared and a little nervous, her upper teeth biting her lower lip, wringing the handkerchief in her hand, which was also crumpled.

Why was she afraid? Because Xu Yanjun ate the hibiscus cake she gave him. And she is not innocent, the water that is the flour of the hibiscus cake is not ordinary water, but the secret medicine of the abortion of the Chu State - the ground is red, colorless and tasteless, and ordinary people cannot detect it. And she did it on purpose.

Outsiders thought that she was going to be finished, after all, it was the queen of the dynasty who harmed, and the Xu family behind Xu Yanjun was in power, and many people were afraid of it.

The concubines who usually dislike her also gathered there, looking at her one by one with ill intentions, and muttering in private, saying that after more than two years in the palace, she Xiao Luoyan is finally finished, and she will not have a good time with the Xu family.

About half an hour later, there was still no crying, and I saw a stable woman walking out of it, the white cloth bag in her hand glowing with blood. The stable woman did not salute, held the cloth bag, lowered her head, and left with a roar, for fear of bringing bad luck to these nobles in the palace.

Those concubines stood outside the hall, vaguely feeling that something was not good, and it was not possible to enter at this time, nor was it to enter if they did not enter.

After a while, Liu Yi also came, he had just finished handling business in the Lizheng Palace, and when he heard that something had happened in Fengwu Pavilion, he immediately came. He was expressionless, and walked in quickly from the palace gate, as if with a gust of wind, he ignored these concubines who stood outside the palace and saluted him, and went straight into the palace. The concubines followed them into the temple.
