Chapter 165: To be favored is to be wrong
Concubine Su agreed so happily, not because she was willing to back down again and again, but also because she understood that in terms of the mistakes she made, it was extremely difficult to get out, and it was not something that could be achieved casually. It is better to have hope than to die.
And Hetai didn't immediately agree to save her, so she felt that this person was more credible, after all, she didn't promise it indiscriminately, but also considered her own ability and the feasibility of things before speaking, and she was so cautious when she wanted to do it, which was sincere.
Now that a consensus has been reached, Hetai no longer has any worries. As soon as the conversation changed, he asked her what he wanted to know most.
"How did they hurt Concubine Rong, and why did they hurt her?"
"This palace will tell you what you know, but these are secrets, and they may shock and resent, but you must be patient and impulsive, and being quick will only bury you yourself. Remember, the days come long. ”
Concubine Su decided to tell Hetai something she knew, which could arouse his hatred and ambition, and also added a bargaining chip to save herself.
Maybe he was afraid that he would not be able to bear it for a while, and he would take revenge regardless of the consequences, provoking a lot of forces, not only would it be difficult for him to live, but he would also lose hope?
"This king is not a three-year-old child, and he has his own way of doing things. You can say it yourself. ”
Hetai scoffed at her admonition, although he was young, but after all these years of forbearance, he was no longer a reckless and impulsive teenager. has already known that the mother concubine was killed, and who is harmed also knows, can there be anything else that shocks him and loses his mind?
Concubine Su raised her lips and smiled, containing countless deep meanings, and no longer persuaded her.
"You ask them why they want to harm Rong Concubine, of course, for status, for favor, and for the future. For fewer competitors and stumbling blocks. The concubines of the year were deeply favored, which naturally aroused the jealousy of the concubines. I want to get rid of it and then quickly. ”
"One less Rong Concubine, there will be Concubine Li and Concubine Zhao, can they kill all the favored people in the harem?"
There are so many emperors in three palaces and six courtyards, if you don't pet this, you will spoil that, is it possible that you want to be a woman who is the emperor and want to be favored?
"No, that's because you don't understand the situation. The queens of the year, Rou Guifei, were all in their prime, or young and vigorous, naturally they couldn't rub sand in their eyes, if they were from a good background, maybe they could be patient, but Rong Concubine's background was average, but they were greatly favored by the emperor, they were unconvinced, unwilling, and their resentment deepened. Concubine Su's face pale slightly, "Even the palace was jealous for a while, and the real reason why I alienated Concubine Rong was not because I felt that I couldn't climb high, so I automatically stayed away from her." It's that I'm jealous, I'm afraid to see her scenery, I'm afraid to see her spring breeze. Compared with her days, I am afraid that I will be discouraged and cold from now on, and I will not be able to support myself in this palace. ”
Concubine Su seemed to be immersed in the past years, with a cold and sad look on her face, "Don't you know how much the emperor dotes on her, she fed the medicine herself when she was sick, and she actually went to taste whether it was hot or not." At that time, I thought that if the emperor treated me like this, it would be good for me to be sick every day. Concubine Rong likes pear blossoms, so the emperor planted many pear trees in her palace, and even planted a pear orchard in the palace of the summer resort. They walked hand in hand in this palace, as if there was no one else in their eyes, only each other. ”
"I'm jealous, I hate, but I'm just a little picker, I can't do anything. Others also hate, the difference is that they have status, background, what they can do. Su Guifei's eyes were cold and sad, "A woman's jealousy is really terrible, and a woman's hatred is also terrible, but with the emperor here, she can't do anything big, she can only make some small actions behind her back, and these small actions that can't hurt the root can't vent hatred." ”
Then the opportunity came, and the emperor personally conquered the north and left the imperial city. As soon as he left, Concubine Rong's hard days came. All the resentment and revenge followed, and the forced Rong Concubine hid in the Rongxiang Palace. In fact, we later learned that she was not hiding, but that the Queen Mother was sick during that time, and she went to wait. She reacted coldly to the revenge of the concubines, not crying, not making trouble, and not begging for mercy, but the more she did this, the more irritating she became. However, because of the protection of the Queen Mother, everyone on the bright side did not dare to be too presumptuous. ”
"But the revenge of the concubines to the queen bears the brunt, the queen is naturally not afraid, although the Luo family at that time just moved to the west, there is no current power, but it is also the premier big family, the queen has always been fearless. She entered the palace with the intention of having an imperial heir, becoming the crown prince, and inheriting the world in the future. But it just can't be born. The emperor worked with Concubine Rong all day long, getting along day and night. She naturally hates the most. So one night, she set a fire and burned down Concubine Rong's palace. Concubine Rong had a big life and was rescued by the minions. It's just that the face is burned. The palace was also burned, and the pear trees in the courtyard were poured with tung oil, and they could not be extinguished no matter how they pounced, and they were burned to charcoal. The queen pretended to be a human life doctor to treat Concubine Rong, but the medicine she used was corrosive, and the injuries on her face became more and more serious, and her appearance was ruined later. ”
Hetai's eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Your face is burned, do you mean my mother is disfigured?"
Concubine Su nodded, "I thought that Concubine Rong relied on that foxy face to confuse the emperor, so she ruined her appearance." Everyone automatically died down, and even the queen withdrew her hand, no longer embarrassed for her. I'm even afraid that she won't be able to think of finding a short-term view. Because they are all waiting to see her jokes, waiting for the emperor to come back and dislike her, waiting to see the moment when the emperor beats this ugly monster into the cold palace. But he was not worried that the emperor would investigate the matter and severely punish the murderer. How could the emperor do justice to an ugly girl?"
"Roche, this poisonous woman!" Tsurutai gritted his teeth in hatred.
Killing people is not enough, ruining a woman's appearance may be more cruel than taking her life. This Luo now looks sanctimonious, gentle and indifferent, but she is a ruthless femme fatale.
"The expedition lasted three years, and in these three years, Concubine Rong was in a shallow position, except for going to the palace of the Queen Mother, she had little contact with others. I have visited her, and you may ask, when she was beautiful, I was jealous of her, hated her, and alienated from her. Now that she is disfigured and her future is uncertain, why did I go to visit her? I admit that I am a weasel giving a New Year's greeting to a chicken, and I just want to see her current downfall and miserable condition, so as to balance my Qi Ran in those days. Sometimes I also think I'm quite despicable, in addition to being favored, she actually has no grudge against me, and has no grudge against the queen, with the concubine, and with all the concubines. ”
In a group of women, it is a mistake to be favored!
A trace of pain flashed in Concubine Su's eyes, "Her fault is only who made her beautiful, who made her beautiful, who made her blue-eyed? This is a great sin." Because the emperor can't belong to any woman, he can only belong to all women, his heart can't be biased towards one or another, only the rain and dew are evenly wet, if he is biased to whichever one, he is fine, that woman is doomed. It's really difficult to be an emperor's woman, and from now on there will never be a peaceful life, and being favored will attract countless hatreds. But if you are not favored, it will be a difficult time. ”
"The women of the harem not only have to do their best for their personal future and favor, but also carry the ups and downs of the court, and they simply gamble on everything, the family and themselves as soon as they enter the palace. Women who have no family and no background are even more difficult. So after staying in the palace for a long time, my heart has also been corroded and changed, and it has become bad. I can't see the good of others, I can't see the love of others, I can't see that I have to be favored like my own woman, and jealousy keeps burning like a flame, and it can't be extinguished. Over the years, this palace has also fought and defeated many women, stepping on them to a high position, and then falling down. ”
Concubine Su looked at Hetai, her eyes were unusually calm at this time, "Actually, if I hadn't fallen to this point, maybe I would never have these feelings, and I would never have reflected on what I had done." It's so lonely, *quiet, so quiet that you can only live by memories. Bengong was forced to recall the past 20 years, and suddenly found that there was nothing worth recalling along the way, it was all unbearable, except for the conspiracy and struggle, there seemed to be no warm things. And Concubine Rong is different, I went to visit her, in addition to her ugly appearance, I can't see a little bit of self-pity and self-pity and decadence in her, she is still so tranquil, as if all the sins have not happened to her. I don't know how she did it, what sustains her, maybe, it's love!"
Her eyes became confused again, "Maybe only this moment is I calm, and I can face what I did." After this moment, I am still the same as before, and I will set foot on this road again! They have harmed me so far, I will not swallow this breath, I will never be like Rong Concubine. It can never be done. He has the emperor's love, so he can endure anything. What do I have? I have nothing! If I don't even have jealousy and hatred, I may lose the meaning of life. ”
"After the emperor came back, did he investigate the matter, and did my mother's face heal later? Did the emperor dislike her and snubbed her because of this?" asked Hetai eagerly.
Although he vaguely felt that the emperor should have a period of love with his mother, otherwise how could he have himself? It's just that he doesn't know if it's because his mother's face has healed, or because the emperor doesn't dislike his mother because of his appearance.
"Heh......" Concubine Su laughed, "If it was then, I wouldn't have been able to laugh, but now I'm so happy, I deserve to let them fail." The Luo family and the Yang family, as well as those concubines who were waiting to see the jokes, never dreamed that after the emperor came back, he still favored Rong Concubine as always, and they couldn't even fight an ugly monster, hahaha! Maybe they were all regretting it in their hearts at that time, it was better to kill Rong Concubine directly, and it was better than the five internal flames who are angry now. ”
Concubine Su now thinks that she was framed by the queen and Concubine Rou, so she has a deep hatred for the two, and she is even extremely happy when she thinks that their wishes were disappointed.
