Chapter 12: Which of You Loves Me
Late at night, in Yuan Qi's "Longxiao Palace", the lights are bright, the singing and dancing are leveling, and from time to time there is a sound from inside, like a nightingale turning and listening, leading people to reverie.
"Your Majesty, it's rare to think of a concubine, come and have a drink."
"Your Majesty, let the concubine serve you well tonight."
"Is the emperor comfortable? Tired! Why don't we go to bed? ”
"Your Majesty, the concubine's dirty clothes are carefully prepared to serve the emperor, is it beautiful?"
……
One after another gentle words that were tactfully listened to, crisped the man's bones, it stands to reason that Yuan Qi should have hugged the beauty to bed, but Yuan Qi stopped the beauty in his hand and drank the wine in his hand cup after cup.
Don't know why? Su Yingxue's words, like a magic spell, swirled in Yuan Qi's mind, making him upset:
"Your Majesty, you are also quite pitiful, you don't even have a person who really loves you, your seventy-two concubines in three palaces, six courtyards, are good to you, that's just because you are the emperor, what are you so arrogant......"
At this time, Yuan Qi's drunken eyes were hazy, he squinted his eyes, looked around, and surrounded his concubines, and actually saw a sarcastic smile like Su Yingxue on their faces.
Yuan Qi was instantly furious, pinched the wine glass in his hand and smashed it, smashing everything in the room.
The concubines screamed in panic and hurriedly put on their half-exposed clothes.
Yun You heard movement in the room outside, and hurriedly rushed into the room with someone, asking in horror:
"Your Majesty, what's wrong? What happened? Your Majesty, why did your hand hurt? Come on, quickly pass on the Tai Doctor's ......"
Yunyou screamed in horror, but Yuan Qi stumbled and pushed Yunyou away, his face was pale, he walked up to a concubine, grabbed her throat, and asked intermittently in a cold voice:
"You...... You...... Do you love me? ”
The concubine instantly had difficulty breathing, struggled in panic, and came out of her throat, which was about to suffocate:
"Love."
Yuan Qi asked through gritted teeth:
"Such as ...... If I weren't the emperor, you ...... Will you still love me? ”
"Minister...... The concubines don't understand, the emperor is originally the Ninety-Five Supreme, how can he not be the emperor? ”
As soon as the words fell, Yuan Qi fell to the ground, his eyes like sharp swords, swept around, like a hellish voice, and asked drunkenly:
"One...... One...... Let me tell me, what do you love about me? I...... I will listen to the truth."
Yun You frowned, I don't know what happened to the emperor tonight? What kind of trouble is this?
The concubines knelt on the ground one by one and trembled, I don't know why they made the emperor angry? Wasn't it all right just now?
"Xu ...... Xu Meiren, just ...... It's from you...... You start by saying, what do you like about me...... Which point? ”
Yuan Qi drunkenly walked up to a beauty, lifted the beauty's chin with his hand, and asked coldly without a trace of emotion.
Xu Meiren knelt on the ground, her chin was forcibly propped up, her eyes were full of tears, her eyes were full of tears, I saw pity, sobbed and said:
"The Emperor...... Your Majesty, Gao ...... Tall and handsome, diligent and loving the people, he is a good emperor, and his concubines admire the emperor......"
Poor her, before she finished speaking, she was thrown to the ground by Yuan Qi, and staggered to a beauty, kicked her directly, gritted her teeth and asked:
Zhang ...... Zhang Guiren, you ...... What do you like about me? ”
Zhang Guiren's eyes were red, his eyes were full of tears, and he wiped the tears of grievance from the corners of his eyes with the brocade handkerchief he carried, and said tremblingly:
"The emperor treats the people leniently and is admired by all the people, plus the emperor is handsome, young and promising, so that the concubine's heart is like a deer, and the concubine loves the emperor."
At this moment, someone reported that the imperial doctor was coming, and the atmosphere was eased a little, Yunyou helped Yuan Qi to sit down, this time Yuan Qi did not embarrass Zhang Guiren, and asked the imperial doctor to bandage him, while snorting at Liu Zhaoyi on the side, signaling her to continue.
Liu Zhaoyi looked around and was a little embarrassed when she saw that there were so many people, so she said shyly:
"Your Majesty, will the concubines tell the emperor in private?"
Yuan Qi was immediately furious, pushed the imperial doctor aside and said angrily: "Could it be that Ai Zhen is still afraid of people?" Next ......"
As soon as Zheng Jieyu saw that Zhang Guiren finished speaking, the emperor was not angry, and it seemed that the words were good, which was right, so she emboldened herself and said:
"The concubine has liked the emperor since she was a child, at that time, the emperor was still the prince, and his status was noble, so high, the concubine's heart was like a deer. is delusional that one day she can become the crown princess. Now that the emperor is the Son of Heaven, he is even more liked by his concubines, and the emperor will always be so high. ”
When Yuan Qi heard this, he was even more furious, Su Yingxue was right, everyone likes him because of his identity, not really love him.
So very likely, one day he will betray him and give him a green hat, the more Yuan Qi thinks about it, the more angry he becomes, and he yells:
"...... Get out of here...... Roll ......"
There were horrified roars one after another, and everyone, including the Imperial Doctor, ran out of the "Lingxiao Palace" in a panic.
Only Yunyou, who was not afraid of death, was left in the same place, he shook his head, and began to carefully clean up the debris on the ground, not understanding what kind of wind the emperor was pumping tonight?
The blood on Yuan Qi's hand was dripping down, and he didn't realize it, only listening to him say to himself:
"Is there really no one in the world who really loves me?"
Yun You just wanted to answer, but there was a person who answered Yun Qi's words faster than him:
"What did the emperor say? The concubines love the emperor and are so infatuated with love, how can you say that no one loves the emperor? ”
Yuan Qi looked up, and saw Mu Lingdie wearing light pink tulle, wearing a butterfly bead hairpin, beautiful as a flower, white as jade, and ruddy and sexy lips.
When you saw it, you quit the "Longxiao Palace" with a sense of acquaintance.
Mu Lingdie knew that Yuan Qi did not kill Su Yingxue, on the contrary, Su Ziyan won another game on the battlefield, Zhu Yan, the lord of the North Departure Country, asked Fei Ge to pass the book to Mu Lingdie, and asked her to make the Great Zhou Dynasty civil strife as soon as possible, this is her last chance, if she can't do it, she will be cut with a thousand knives, Mu Lingdie does not have much time.
So she had to think of another way, either kill the emperor Yuan Qi directly, or let Yuan Qi kill Su Yingxue and force Su Ziyan to rebel.
Now that she got the news that Yuan Qi had recruited ten concubines to serve her, she was thinking about how to make Yuan Qi forgive her again and treat her as a treasure in the palm of her hand, so that she could have a chance to do tricks.
Came to the door of the "Longxiao Palace", and saw that the emperor drove everyone out, after inquiry, Mu Lingdie thought of the daytime, the smart Mu Lingdie, soon knew where the key to the problem was, it turned out that Yuan Qi wanted to find a true love.
Thinking of this, Mu Lingdie walked in and interjected when Yuan Qi was talking to himself.
Yuan Qi was still angry at this time, so he said very unhappily:
"What is Concubine Ai doing here?"
When I asked like this, I saw that Mu Lingdie's long eyelashes were immediately full of tears, and her face like a hibiscus out of the water was full of grievances, and her tears were like a flood:
"Woo...... The emperor doesn't love the concubine anymore, the concubine misses the emperor like a demon, if she can't see the emperor, the concubine can't eat, but the emperor doesn't want to see the concubine, it's better to let the concubine die, save the emperor from upsetting, woo woo......"
Mu Lingdie said, took down the butterfly bead hairpin on her head, and began to pierce her chest, her personal slave Yan'er, her eyes were quick, and she hurriedly intercepted while begging bitterly:
"Your Majesty, hurry up and persuade Niangniang! Niangniang, she really loves you, in the afternoon, Niangniang personally prepared a table full of meals for the emperor, and wanted to wait for the emperor to come up to eat together, but after the emperor came, he inexplicably lost his temper with Niangniang, Niangniang was very sad, she still hasn't eaten a mouthful of food! Whining...... The emperor, Niangniang, she just asked the imperial dining room to make chicken soup for the emperor, she said that the emperor is in a bad mood, did not eat, and will definitely be hungry for a while, Niangniang, she is dedicated to the emperor, please beg the emperor to have mercy and pity my mother's sincerity to the emperor! ”
The master and servant are both good at acting, and when they heard Yan'er say this, Yuan Qi stepped forward drunkenly, grabbed the butterfly bead hairpin in his hand, stopped Mu Lingdie into his arms and said:
"Love...... Ai Concubine, what this slave said is true? ”
Mu Lingdie hurriedly covered her face with a brocade hand, wiped away her tears, and choked up and said:
"The Emperor...... Emperor...... Don't listen to her nonsense, the concubine loves the emperor willingly, and does not ask the emperor for sympathy and return, the concubine has already said that the concubine is not afraid to share the emperor with many sisters, but I am afraid that the concubine will lose the opportunity to see the emperor from afar, woo...... Your Majesty, you can not love your concubines, but please let your concubines look at you from afar, and your concubines will be content. ”
Yuan Qi Mu Lingdie cried heartbroken, Yuan Qi was a little moved, so he said softly:
"Don't cry, concubine, I am also in a bad mood, so I ......"
Mu Lingdie hurriedly covered Yuan Qi's mouth and said, "Don't say anything about the emperor, please listen to what the concubine says......"
Yuan Qi nodded, and Mu Lingdie said emotionally: "Does the emperor remember the first encounter with his concubine?" ”
Yuan Qi nodded again, and Mu Lingdie said softly and charmingly:
At that time, the concubine's family was poor and was sold by her parents to the "Water Moon Building", but the concubine was clean and self-loving, and insisted on selling her art and not selling herself. Because the concubine is as beautiful as a flower, she was finally remembered. One day the concubine was almost trivialized, but the emperor arrived in time to save the concubine. At that time, the concubine did not know the identity of the emperor. thought that the gods had come down to save the concubine, but at that moment the concubine lost her heart.
At that time, the concubine was disheveled and her hair was messy, so the emperor ordered someone to buy the butterfly bead hairpin in the emperor's hand, inserted it into the concubine's hair, helped the concubine tidy up her clothes, and told the mother of "Shuiyue Lou" that you want to buy the concubine, saying that no one should force the concubine to sell herself, unless the concubine is voluntary, and then left in a hurry.
Does the emperor know what the concubines think? At that time, the concubine thought that if she could be the emperor's woman, the concubine's life would be enough. Even if the emperor is a beggar on the side of the road, the concubines are also willing. Because the emperor is so big in the hearts of his concubines, like a towering tree, sheltering his concubines from the wind and rain......
One touching sentence after another of touching words, so that Yuan Qi, who had always wanted to find a true love, completely fell, he hugged Mu Lingdie tightly in his arms, it was difficult to distinguish the truth of Mu Lingdie's words, let alone think about the language disease in the words, even if she didn't know Yuan Qi's identity at the time, she should know that if she had an entourage and money to redeem Mu Lingdie, she couldn't be a beggar, but Yuan Qi, who was drunk and fascinated by Mu Lingdie, couldn't tell the difference, and said very movingly:
"I ...... I finally have the women of the world, but I ...... But it's far less sincere than the concubine's sincerity, I ...... I have decided, I will give the best in the world to my concubine. I want to crown Concubine Ai as the queen and give Concubine Ai supreme rights. ”
"What the emperor said was true at that time?"
Mu Lingdie asked in surprise.
Mu Lingdie came today just to let Yuan Qi reconcile with her and plant a good impression on Yuan Qi again, but she didn't want to have an unexpected harvest.
Since Yuan Qi ascended the throne, although there are many women in the harem, he has not been established for a long time, and he has been waiting for someone he really loves. Now he felt that Mu Lingdie was the woman he was looking for. It's just that he didn't know that the woman in front of him was actually a woman who had always wanted his life, and a woman who wanted his Great Zhou Dynasty.
"I ......"
As soon as Yuan Qi wanted to say what I said, of course it counted, and he heard the little eunuch Liu Wen shouting at the top of his voice:
"Your Majesty, the head of the imperial dining room, Mama Liu asked to see the emperor, saying that there was an urgent matter to see the emperor......"
"Let's ...... Let her in...... Hiccup......"
Yuan Qi said with a wine burp.
Mu Lingdie's gloomy eyes flashed, and his nails pierced into the flesh without realizing it, and he was one step away.
