On the third day, the grain of rice was not entered, the dripping water was obviously not human, the lips were cracked and a thick layer of white skin was formed, the eye sockets were deep, the eyes were scattered, the face was pale, and the original plump and fair face was sunken in, and the breath was like a gossamer, as if there was only air in and no air out.

The slave maid began to comfort: "Madam, listen to the slave maid's advice, it is better to die than to live, no matter what you want to do, you have to eat and drink enough to have strength, right?" ”

Seeing that she was about to die, seeing the tragic situation of Concubine Xi, a slave maid was moved by compassion and wanted to secretly bring her clothes to Concubine Xi.

He was stopped by his companion and reprimanded in a low voice: "You can put clothes on her now, but do you think you can really save her?" Does she have the strength to walk out of this door? It's not just that you look distressed, people's hearts are long, and all of us are just as sad when we look at it, but have you ever thought that if we let go of Mrs., can Cai Hou let us go? Can you spare our family? ”

Although Xi Fei has no spirit, her heart is like a mirror, she can hear the words of the slave and maid clearly, yes, they are also hard-working people, and they can't be affected. There is only one end for me if I go on like this, and that is to die worthlessly. She has to eat and drink enough to fight them to the end, even if she escapes, she has to have strength?

She raised her hand, and the slave and maid hurriedly leaned over, but her dry and cracked lips moved several times, but she couldn't make a sound.

Seeing that Xi Fei actually stretched out the tip of her tongue and licked it, she quickly fed a small amount of water with a spoon, and when she saw that Xi Fei did not resist again, she motioned to her companion to bring gruel and feed her.

After drinking half a bowl of gruel, Xi Fei had a little strength, and said softly with the mentality of trying it out: "This palace is in trouble today, and I bother the sisters to take care of it, but it's a pity that he doesn't have many days and can't repay him." ”

Xi Fei's eyes turned red as she spoke, and big tears came out of her eyes.

The four maidservants stepped forward at the same time, some helped Xi Fei wipe away her tears, and some secretly wept, and a slightly older maid said softly: "Madame, don't say that, it's a matter of tormenting the slaves and maids...... Seeing you like this, the slaves and maids feel uncomfortable, as long as you don't go on a hunger strike and don't belittle yourself, you will soon get better...... I beg your pardon for having no other ability than to take care of you. ”

After the slave and maid finished speaking, they couldn't bear to be sad and wept.

Seeing that the slaves and maids were willing to help her, Concubine Xi said again: "There is a reluctant one in this palace, I wonder if the sisters are willing to bring a message to my two maidservants?" Hongu will be grateful! ”

The maid at the head glanced at the other companions, and the others looked at her at the same time and nodded deeply.

She gathered her four heads together and said softly: "Since everyone is willing to help Madame with this, then from today on, everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, and only use cleverness to bring the words to the maid, in case it is discovered by the Hou Ye, and it can't affect other people, can it be done?" ”

"As long as it doesn't affect my family, I'm willing to help my wife."

"I would too." "Me too."

Seeing that the four maidservants all expressed their attitudes, Concubine Xi said again: "Can you not let Cai Hou know about the fact that I started eating?" ”

The maidservants nodded, and one of the maidservants took the food box out.

It is said that Cai Hou listened to Cai Fei's words, and also pondered in his heart, what she said was not unreasonable, she was just a person who wanted to rest her concubine, and she didn't want to take her life, but she didn't expect her to be so strong, so it doesn't matter!

Xi Fei heard footsteps outside, quickly lay down and closed her eyes, pretending not to move, sure enough, it was Cai Hou who came in.

"Did she eat?" When Cai Hou saw a dead woman, he felt very sorry in his heart, what a delicious flower, just withered, eh!

The maidservants shook their heads and replied sadly, "Madame has not eaten a grain of rice for three days, and she has not even touched a sip of water, so the slaves and maids cannot persuade her." ”

"Sister Qingqiu! Why are you suffering? As for gambling with your own life? Cai Hou stared at Xi Fei's miserable face, and saw that she was indifferent to her words, so he sighed and said, "Okay, according to you, go back, go back, but you also have to eat and take care of your body before you can go back, right?" ”

Cai Hou saw a tear rolling out of the corner of Concubine Xi's eyes, sighed again, turned his head and instructed the maidservant, "Change Mrs. Xi's clothes!" By the way, I went to call Mrs. Xi's maids, and told them that Mrs. has been caught with a cold in the past few days, and if anyone leaks the slightest rumor, be careful of her life! ”

"No! Slave and maid, go now! ”

Hearing this, Xi Fei's clenched fist hidden under the quilt quietly loosened.

After Cai Hou left, Concubine Xi cooperated very well with the maids to wash and dress, and ate again, she knew that she could recover her strength as quickly as possible, so that she could escape from this wolf's den as soon as possible.

The weakness caused by the hunger strike only because of sadness gradually improved after eating, but when the personal maids Xiangming and Xiaorui saw Xi Fei for the first time, they were still taken aback, and instantly burst into tears, and the two of them rushed over at the same time and hugged Xi Fei and cried.

"Madam, you have been all the way well, why did you get sick when you rested? They also say that your illness is contagious, and that slaves and maidservants are not allowed to come and serve you, and that the slaves and maidservants are pleading and pleading to no avail. ”

"Xiangming Xiaorui, don't cry, this palace is fine, maybe...... is not accustomed to Cai Guo's water and soil...... It's not suitable to stay here, you go and pack up, let's leave for back tomorrow, I'm going to rest, and I'll be on the road tomorrow morning. ”

When Xi Fei said this, she tried to restrain the sadness and resentment in her heart, and sent the maid away with a few words, not wanting her to see the clues.

"Okay, madam, you have a good rest, let's go clean up."

As soon as the two walked out, they met Cai Fei at the door, and Cai Fei saw that their eyes were red, so she asked, "Xiangming Xiaorui, you two are not waiting by Mrs. Side, why did you run out again?" ”

When Xiangming saw that it was Concubine Cai, she immediately stood sideways, bowed her head respectfully and said, "Back to Mrs. Cai's words, my wife instructed the slave maid to pack her luggage and go back early tomorrow morning." ”

Cai Fei said with a shocked face: "I'll go back tomorrow?" Can she stand that on the road? ”

Xiaorui said: "My wife said that she is not accustomed to Cai Guo's water and soil, so it is better to leave as soon as possible." ”

Cai Fei's expression was solemn, thinking about the maid's words, and she was not satisfied with Cai Guo's water and soil......

Oh, yes! If she hadn't been persuaded to come to Cai Guo at the beginning, these things would not have happened, it was better to leave quickly, and couldn't help nodding and echoing: "Yes, yes, maybe I'm leaving...... It's getting better slowly! ”

In fact, since Xi Fei came to Cai Guo, Cai Fei has also suffered a lot in her heart these days, one is her husband, the other is her own sister, she can't afford to hurt either one, she is also very self-blaming, if it weren't for her own selfishness, if she could have tried her best to prevent Cai Hou from doing such unethical things, her sister would not have been so sad and almost lost her life.

When Concubine Cai heard that Concubine Cai was coming, she glanced at the tail of her eyes in disgust and closed her eyes.

"Sister, your body is so weak, can you leave tomorrow? Or...... How many more days? Let's recuperate before we go! ”
