CHAPTER XVI

Xiao Yue staggered back to her room, the sharp pain in her abdomen and the fact that she hadn't eaten made her have no strength to think about other things, she lay on the cold bed weakly, although she was a palace maid, she had her own room, which was specially rewarded to her by Zhu Shijin, just to better torture her, lying down for a while, Xiao Yue struggled to get up, the broken place on her leg was no longer bleeding, but it still hurt badly, and her stomach was swollen a lot. She slowly took the medicinal wine from the table, which was also specially left for her by Zhu Shijin, the bottle containing the medicinal wine was very large, and the medicinal wine in it was already in it. She clumsily applied the potioned liquor to the wound, which was very painful, but she was already numb. She curled up weakly, wrapping herself in a brocade robe, like a kitten covered in bruises and licking her wounds weakly.

Gradually, her nose was inexplicably sore, tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, and she felt the coolness on her cheeks, Xiao Yue bit her lip vigorously, quickly withdrew her hand, and wiped her eyes fiercely, because she bit too hard, blood overflowed from the corners of her mouth.

What's wrong with her? It's useless, what's there? It's not a big deal.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yue's eyes froze, and her eyes flashed with stubbornness and firmness.

Suddenly, Xiao Yue remembered the slightly immature but very handsome face, a flash of softness appeared in her big eyes, and then only deep hatred remained, she bit her unconscious lip again, and threw the soft brocade robe to the ground despite the pain in her body.

Back garden. Su Yao sat motionless, stunned, her eyes lost focus, Shangguan Yuan's miscarriage hit her very hard, she thought about it every day, and she had no strength to do anything. She goes to the Yingxin Hall every day to visit Shangguan Yuan, and she eats closed doors every day, she knows that Shangguan Yuan will no longer believe in herself, but she still goes every day. She only felt sorry for Shangguan Yuan, the palace maid named Xiaoyue at that time was indeed very suspicious, if she could be more vigilant, maybe that life would not have left in vain.

Ling Yi hadn't been to Fengqi Palace for a long time, and Su Yao knew that he was blaming himself.

Xiaohuan saw that Su Yao was depressed every day, and her body was getting thinner and thinner, so she pulled Su Yao out for a walk every day, Su Yao was depressed, and just wanted to find a place where no one was to sit quietly, so the two of them came to this back garden every day.

said that it was a distraction, Su Yao just sat there in a daze, came at noon, left in the evening, and didn't say a word, if there were other concubines and palace maids walking by, Su Yao just didn't see it.

Seeing Su Yao's appearance, Xiaohuan was so worried, for this reason, she also went to the Qiyun Hall to find the help of Ling Tian, who had left her a lot of shadows, but Ling Tian heard her say this, just smiled, and drove her away.

These three princesses...... Why are you so ruthless...... Xiaohuan was speechless. The queen mother is at least on the same boat as Her Royal Highness the Third Princess, and now that the Queen Mother is like this, Her Royal Highness the Third Princess will not help her...... Her status is low, she doesn't have any right to speak, Her Royal Highness the Third Princess drove her out, and she had no choice.

Ling Tian was the only person Xiaohuan could think of who was suitable to help Su Yao, and she drove Xiaohuan out, in Xiaohuan's opinion, it was tantamount to giving up on Su Yao.

His Majesty didn't care about the queen's mother, and Her Royal Highness the third princess gave up the queen's mother again. Thinking of this, Xiaohuan has always been unable to sleep these days, and only feels that it will be difficult for the queen mother to walk in the harem in the future.

"I've seen the Queen Mother." At this time, a familiar voice remembered from afar, Xiaohuan looked at the owner of the voice, his face turned pale, and he actually met the person he didn't want to meet...... She glanced at Su Yao, saluted Shangguan Yuan, who walked over slowly, and said that she had seen Concubine Shu.

Su Yao stood up and looked at Shangguan Yuan, who came over with a faint smile, with unnaturalness on her stiff face.

"Shangguan ...... Yuan ......" Su Yao was stunned for a long time, and it wasn't until Shangguan Yuan walked up to her and sat down that she came back to her senses and said slowly. Today's Shangguan Yuan is very beautiful, her beautiful fair cheeks lined with a light blue long skirt, which looks particularly moving.

"The queen is not feeling well?" Without looking at Su Yao, who was standing there straight, Shangguan Yuan elegantly propped her chin and said lightly.

"No...... Big problem. Shangguan Yuan was very calm, so calm that Su Yao was afraid, the smile on the corner of her mouth was so real, so real that everything seemed to have never happened before, "It's just Concubine Shu......"

"The queen mother really won't have any discomfort, on the contrary, the queen mother should even dream with a smile these days, right?" Interrupting Su Yao's tentative words, Shangguan Yuan slowly stood up and stepped forward, smiling.

"What do you mean, Lady?" Su Yao subconsciously shrank back, Shangguan Yuan's good-looking apricot eyes were chilling hatred, the current Shangguan Yuan is so strange, so strange that it is suffocating, Su Yao only feels that Shangguan Yuan is a completely different person, although he was domineering and strong before, his eyes were very clean, but now although he greeted him with a smile, Su Yao didn't feel a trace of warmth, some were just fake and cold.

"What does the concubine mean, the queen should know." Shangguan Yuan put it in Su Yao's ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "If you divide half of my power for nothing, the queen must be very happy, right?" But don't worry, what was snatched from me, I will take it back little by little, Zhu Shijin, that slut is, and so are you. In this palace, there is never right and wrong, only winning and losing, the queen mother, are you right when you say the concubine? ”

As she spoke, Shangguan Yuan gently took Su Yao's slightly trembling hand, revealing a beautiful smile.

The current Shangguan Yuan made Su Yao afraid, she struggled to pull out her cold hand, but Shangguan Yuan had a lot of strength, and no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't break free.

"Queen Mother, are you right when you say that the concubines are right?" Seeing that Su Yao didn't speak, Shangguan Yuan was not in a hurry, holding Su Yao's hand and gradually pulling her harder, dragging her to the lotus pond.

The sharp pain in her hand made Su Yao can't help but scream, and Xiaohuan on the side realized that something was wrong and wanted to step forward to stop it, but she was set up by several palace maids brought by Shangguan Yuan and couldn't move.

"Concubine Niangniang, that's ......" Xiaohuan just screamed, but she was rudely gagged, she said "um" a few times, and then couldn't make any other sounds.

Spring has just begun, and there are only withered lotus leaves in the calm lotus pond.

"Queen Mother, are you right when you say that the concubines are right?" Shangguan Yuan asked softly again.

Su Yao's heart was beating fast, and the sharp pain in her wrist told her that the current Shangguan Yuan was no longer the Shangguan Yuan of the past, and her strength was so great, if Su Yao scolded her directly, she would definitely kick Su Yao down directly.

Although Su Yaogui is the queen, there is no one else around, as long as she doesn't admit it to death, with the identity of Shangguan Yuan Shufei, Su Yao can't help her, Xiaohuan's status is low, and she is Su Yao's cronies, even if she comes to testify, no one will believe her, and even will kill her.

"Concubine Shu, this palace can only see your pity." Su Yao knew that no matter what she said, Shangguan Yuan would not let her go, and all she could do now was to delay the time, praying that other concubines would pass by here...... No matter who it is, as long as one person sees it, they are safe.

"Pathetic?" Shangguan Yuan sneered, anger appeared in her pupils, "What this palace has lost, how can it be a pitiful thing to talk about?" ”

"Concubine Shu is so painful, and the palace is also very sad, and the palace is also blaming itself these days...... "It seems...... Stabilized, feeling that the strength at his wrist was much smaller, Su Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was telling the truth, seeing Shangguan Yuan in such pain, she really blamed herself and was very sad, she was thinking about it all the time in the past few days.

"What's the use of you blaming yourself? Can I bring my child back to life? Su Yao's words stimulated Shangguan Yuan's most sensitive nerves, and her voice rose a few heights, Your Majesty, father, eldest sister, everyone said this, but who can really understand her pain, the pain that invades the bone marrow is impossible for anyone to know!

If you don't understand the pain of others, never try to comfort someone who is suffering. Su Yao knew that she had said the wrong thing, her energy was all focused on how to divert attention, ignoring Shangguan Yuan's feelings, which seemed to have the opposite effect, Shangguan Yuan pushed Su Yao towards the lotus pond fiercely, Su Yao screamed, her feet slipped, she couldn't stand steadily, and fell to the side.

Shangguan Yuan's face was expressionless, and with a slight force, he lifted it upwards and pulled Su Yao, who was already on the lotus pond with half of her body. Su Yao looked at Shangguan Yuan with a playful face, whether she would fall into the river or not became a matter for Shangguan Yuan, as long as she let go of her hand and held her, Su Yao would immediately throw herself into the arms of the icy pool water.

Shangguan Yuan's hand trembled slightly, Su Yao knew that Shangguan Yuan couldn't hold on for long, she bit her lip and said in a dumb voice: "Shangguan Yuan, I am by no means your ......"

"I have already said it, Queen Mother, in the harem, there is no right and wrong, only winning and losing......" Before Su Yao finished speaking, Shangguan Yuan interrupted her, and said, she easily opened the hand holding Su Yao, without too much emotion on her face.

Su Yao's ears were buzzing, she looked at Shangguan Yuan with an expressionless face, her eyes suddenly blurred, and a cold feeling enveloped her, and the next moment, she seemed to see tears in the corners of Shangguan Yuan's eyes, and then, she lost consciousness.

Prayer Cloud Hall. Ling Tian took a sip of the hot tea handed over by Sun Yaruo, and said with a smile to the younger brother in front of him who had a bad face: "Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, how can you have the leisure to come to me today?" ”

Ling Yi frowned slightly, and said lightly, "The imperial sister should know why I came here. ”

Hearing Ling Yi say this, Ling Tian didn't speak, just supported half of his face, looked at him quietly with a smile, was looked at by Ling Tian like this, Ling Yi touched his nose a little unnaturally, although it was his own royal sister, Ling Yi was looked at like this by Ling Tian, who was overwhelmed by the country and the city, Ling Yi still blushed, he wanted to avoid Ling Tian's gaze, but Ling Tian didn't give him a chance at all, no matter how Ling Yi hid, Ling Tian could always meet his eyes.

"You and I know the matter of Concubine Shu's miscarriage, why does the imperial sister deliberately lead the fault to the queen?" Ling Yi was helpless, the Third Emperor Sister was like this every time, she really had no choice but to obey......

Ling Tian had the light of a victor in his eyes, little brat, what kind of coldness is pretending, don't think that I can't cure you when I become the emperor, I watched you grow up...... I'm only half a year older than you...... That's bigger than you, too!

"Why did Your Majesty say this? The palace just doesn't care about the queen. Ling Tian shook his head with a smile and said.

"The imperial sister doesn't care about the queen, and she won't let me go to Fengqi Palace," Ling Yi said, "Doesn't this mean that the matter of the concubine is related to the queen to the harem?" ”

"Your Majesty's words are not yet considered." Ling Tian shook his head and said lightly.

"Everyone in the harem knows that the queen and the imperial sister are in the same camp, after the concubine is born, the imperial sister will not care about the queen, and I will no longer go to Fengqi Palace. There are not a few people who cause trouble for no reason in the harem, if they are allowed to use the topic to play, the queen may be difficult to gain a foothold in the harem in the future. Ling Yi looked directly at Ling Tian and said calmly, "If that's the case, does the imperial sister still think that I owe it to consideration?" ”

"Your Majesty has misunderstood." Ling Tian looked at Ling Yi with a smile and approval in his eyes. Su Yao, how blessed are you to make the emperor think of such a thing for you, "What this palace said is that His Majesty has never thought about the purpose of this palace. ”

"Purpose?" Ling Yi was stunned, all his thoughts were left on Su Yao, and he really didn't think about Ling Tian's purpose.

"No matter what the imperial brother does, the imperial sister will only support it," Ling Tian glanced at Ling Yi. This child is really reckless, and the royal sister doesn't trust her, "Su Yao was recklessly brought into the palace by you, but you never thought about her, regardless of whether she can adapt to the darkness in the palace or not." There are many concubines in the palace, all of them are beautiful and moving, and no one knows how dirty their hearts are. The queen is too clean, she can't cope with the knife behind her back, today is the miscarriage of Concubine Shu, tomorrow it may be her turn, the emperor understands? ”

Ling Yi was stunned, the imperial sister was right, it was indeed his negligence, if he wanted to survive in this palace, it was not enough to just hide behind others, if he didn't adapt, something would happen sooner or later.

The flowers in the greenhouse are absolutely unable to withstand the storm.

"Sister Huang's move is to help the queen's ......," Ling Yi muttered, "But ......" After all, Su Yao had just entered the palace, and without the protection of Ling Yi and Ling Tian, she would definitely not be able to deal with those knives in the dark by herself.

"This is the best opportunity." Ling Tian smiled and dispelled Ling Yi's concerns, "Concubine Shu's matter has not yet settled, even if they are in a hurry, they don't dare to do it during this time." That's why the palace didn't let the emperor's brother go to Fengqi Palace, and the palace had already reminded the queen before, and this time was the best time for the queen to know how to adapt to the darkness of the harem. In the harem, "understanding" often only takes a moment......

Ling Yi nodded, looking at her sister's eyes with a little more special emotion.

Being looked at like this by Ling Yi, Ling Tian suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, Ling Yi was ...... Why are you looking at me like this all of a sudden...... This thing won't be ......

"The acting queen has thanked the imperial sister." After a while, Ling Yi bowed slightly and said.

"No matter what the imperial brother does, the imperial sister will naturally support it." Ling Tian also got up, stood on tiptoe and touched Ling Yi's head, and said with a smile.
