"Alright, let's all disperse."

Concubine Tong sat on the top seat and waved her hand, revealing the bright red dankou on her nails, as bright as blood.

"The concubine/concubine is retired."

Because it was indeed unruly for Kangxi to rest in the Youyou Pavilion yesterday, Shu Wan was already prepared to be punished today.

After the greeting was over, the noble Zhaojia hurriedly caught up and asked uneasily: "Concubine Yu, are you okay, you are pregnant with a dragon fetus now, and Concubine Niangniang's move is also for your consideration." ”

Shu Wan chuckled twice and said, "This palace knows, Zhaojia nobles don't have to worry, it just so happens that this palace is very tired after being pregnant this time, if you can stay in the secluded pavilion and raise the fetus with peace of mind, it is also excellent." ”

"Then the concubine is relieved, the concubine is worried that you can't think about it, and it's not good to be depressed."

Shu Wan patted her hand, "There's nothing I can't think about, it's just a grounding, this palace doesn't believe that I haven't seen the emperor for three months, and the emperor can still forget about this palace?" ”

Concubine Hui, who was about to leave, snorted contemptuously when she heard this, the one in this palace is not talented and good-looking, and a mere jade concubine dares to say such a thing, do you really think that she is such a great character, so she said to the lamp shadow next to her: "I heard that the emperor has to choose a few newcomers to come up recently, lamp shadow, this palace remembers that the emperor has given the list to this palace a few days ago, right?" ”

Dengying nodded and deliberately raised his voice, "Yes, the emperor ordered someone to send the information of several newcomers to Yanxi Palace early." ”

Concubine Hui covered her mouth and smiled, "Then the palace will not be delayed," and then helped the little eunuch beside her to get into the sedan chair, turned to Shu Wan and Zhaojia nobles and said, "Sister Yufei, Zhaojia nobles, this palace has taken the first step." ”

"Concubine Hui Niangniang walks slowly."

Seeing Concubine Hui's sedan chair walking away leisurely, Shu Wan pulled the handkerchief, as if she couldn't even stand on her feet, gritted her teeth and said to Zhaojia nobleman: "It's not too early, this palace should go back, Zhaojia noble, this palace will go first." ”

Seeing that Shu Wan's expression was really bad, as if she was going to eat people, Zhaojia nobleman couldn't help but be shocked in her heart, her hand holding the handkerchief was trembling, she hurriedly took a few steps back, and hurriedly said, "Yes, Niangniang, you go slowly." ”

Shu Wan pushed away Zhixing, who wanted to help her, and did not get on the sedan chair, but let them follow behind her, while she walked slowly in front.

After walking out for a while, Zhixing's face was still full of worry, and he asked cautiously: "Niangniang, what Concubine Hui said just now may not be the truth, she may just say it to you on purpose, don't be angry with her." ”

Shu Wan waved her hand weakly, as if she was carrying a thousand catties of burden, "She said so, it must be true, I just don't know if the newcomer this time is Han, Manchu or Mongolian." ”

"The emperor still cherishes Niangniang, Niangniang, you are pregnant now, you really shouldn't worry about this kind of thing."

"Worried?" Shu Wan winked at her mischievously, but her naughty expression quickly disappeared, and instead she had a grief-stricken look, and her voice was almost crying and bleeding, "This palace has been grounded by Concubine Tong, and I don't know what will happen in these three months, and when the grounding of this palace ends, I think the emperor has already been a newcomer and forgotten about this palace." ”

"Niangniang, you..." Zhixing thought about it, then had an idea, sighed and said: "Niangniang, this is also a helpless thing, the emperor is the Son of Heaven, you should understand this." ”

Shu Wan sighed heavily, "Yes, this palace understands, but it has been more than ten years since this palace entered the palace when she was a teenager, and finally the one who has been pressing on the palace has got the retribution he deserves, and the palace has won a little favor from the emperor. ”

As he spoke, he seemed to have his whole body drained of his strength, and he was about to fall backwards.

"!" Zhixing hurriedly called the sedan chair, "Why don't you come over quickly and send the mother back to the secluded pavilion." ”

After Shu Wan left, a palace maid who had been hiding behind the pillar walked out rubbing her temples with a puzzled expression, and muttered in her mouth, "The one who pressed the palace?" Who is that? Is there anyone else? ”

-------------------------------------

Late at night after the rockery in the imperial garden

The moon was tightly covered by clouds, and the night was dark, and in the imperial garden, two figures avoided the patrolling guards and came together stealthily.

A low male voice said: "Nian'er, this is the last time I will help you, since the death of Imperial Doctor Pi, my situation in the Imperial Hospital has become more and more difficult, and now the Imperial Doctor who follows is an honest and timid person, even this medicine is not easy to get together, I am ready to leave the palace in a few days and go to a certain way outside the palace." ”

Nian'er nodded, tears flashed in her eyes, and she choked up: "Thank you, Brother Qing, I, I will definitely remember your great kindness." ”

The man sighed silently, was silent for a moment, took out something from his arms and handed it to her, "Nian'er, is it worth it for you to do so much?" I rescued you from the fire that day and found a false identity for you, so that you could start a new life and not fall deeper and deeper into this quagmire, but you still did it, why should you be so stubborn? ”

Nian'er took the thing handed by the man, touched it, it was a jade pendant carved on the back and a lotus, she suddenly remembered the past, at that time she was still the palace maid of Zhongcui Palace, he was a medicine boy who carried the medicine box in the Tai Hospital, the two of them had made a private agreement for life, and agreed to marry after she left the palace, this jade pendant was their love token.

A fire that happened in Zhong Cui Palace burned down the two of them for a beautiful yearning for the future, and her current hideous and terrifying face appeared in front of her eyes in her tears.

Yes, she's still alive, and even if she's alive, so what? With such a face, she lived in hatred and disgust all day long, she hated the way she was, she hated the woman who caused all this.

said in a trembling voice: "Brother Qing, let's go, it is impossible for me and you in this life, in this life, I already owe you enough, if there is an afterlife, I will repay you a thousand, ten thousand times." ”

The man's tears fell, and he reached out to play with her bangs, but paused, "Is revenge so important to you?" The woman in this harem has clean hands? Why do you keep torturing yourself? ”

"Concubine Rou Niangniang was kind to me at the beginning, and I had already sworn to be loyal to her for the rest of my life," Nian'er smiled miserably, held the jade pendant tightly in the palm of her hand, and said word by word: "Concubine Rou Niangniang's death is unknown, I waited for the opportunity to avenge her, and now that the time has come, no matter how much you persuade me, Brother Qing, I will not give up." ”

Seeing this, the man turned his head, wiped his tears, and suddenly smiled, "In your life, you are simply living for the sake of the concubine, she bought you with a little favor and treated you as her lackey, when she was still alive, you did all the dirty things for her, and now that she is dead, you have to fight for her to avenge her, maybe it is really my fault, I shouldn't save you." ”

Nian'er raised her head, took a deep look at the man who had once loved her, stared for a moment, and the only little warmth in her eyes gradually dissipated.

The man's words just now pierced her chest like a sword, stabbing her deeply, she didn't seem to believe that the words just now came from the mouth of the man in front of her, and couldn't help blurting out, "You, what did you say?" You say you shouldn't save me? Do you regret it? ”

"Yes! I regret it, I shouldn't have saved you, I shouldn't have known that you were going to harm people and help the abuse all these years! Can you still count it, you touch your own conscience and ask, how many lives have died at your hands, I shouldn't have indulged you when you asked me for the first medicine, I shouldn't have watched you fall deeper and deeper, maybe, our acquaintance was a mistake! ”

In the end, the man's tone was full of endless sadness, he tried his best to enter the hospital with the intention of learning medical skills, treating diseases and saving people, but he fell in love with a woman who was used to being an executioner.

All these years he had been stealing medicine for her, how many innocent children had been killed, how many young women had been killed, even he could not count, every time he dreamed back at midnight, he would dream that his hands were full of blood, countless babies crying around him, and that sound could tear his body apart.

He was tormented by his conscience all the time, how many years had it, he hadn't slept a day, he was so tired, really tired.

Nian'er took a few steps back, tears flowed down wantonly, she always thought that this man understood her and believed her, but she didn't expect him to say such a thing today.

It was when she was blind that she fell in love with such a timid and cowardly man, and suddenly a strange feeling suddenly arose in her heart, and she smiled, "It seems that this is what you really think, right?" Oh, how about finally saying it today? Pleasure? ”

The man was startled by her tone, and when he turned to look at her, the hideous scar on her face seemed to be swinging his teeth and claws at him, and he couldn't help but look frightened, and took a half step back until his back hit the hard rockery.

A clip suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, she smiled and told him about the scene when the woman had an abortion, and carefully described the appearance of an unformed fetus, she said that different drugs will cause different fetuses to flow out, some are bruised all over the body, some are underdeveloped, when talking about these, she is not afraid or disgusted at all, but a kind of excitement, excitement from the inside out.

He suddenly felt scared, but they had been in love for many years, and she would not hurt him.

With a smile on the corner of her mouth, Nian'er approached him step by step with her hands behind her back, "Brother Qing, what are you afraid of?" I'm not going to hurt you. ”

Finally, she came to him, gently touched his face with her hand, and murmured, "Over the years, you have helped me so much, I know it." ”

The man reluctantly smiled and took her hand tremblingly, "Nian'er, stop it, I'll take you out of the palace, I've saved some silver over the years, enough for the two of us to live." ”

Nian'er shook her head, and her tone seemed to be missing something, "I am destined to have that kind of life,"

"No, no, it's too late for you to stop now, I..."

Nian'er didn't want to listen to his rambling anymore, and directly smashed the man's temple with the stone in his hand, blood flowed down the man's forehead, and the man fainted to the ground, Nian'er looked at the man lying on the ground, without any pity on his face, and pushed the man into the small pond on the side, and said lightly: "Useless thing." ”

Then he straightened his clothes, looked around, and after making sure that there was no one, he quietly slipped back to Yikun Palace in the night.
