Chapter 651: Appealing to the Heart
Song Yuchen was fascinated, and after a while, a palace maid stepped forward to help her: "Niangniang, you have drunk, and now you are a little drunk, it is better to go back to the room and rest early." β
"I'm not drunk." Su Yunshu said, dancing under the moon again, the moonlight sprinkled on her face, her neck was slender, her side face was beautiful, and her cheeks were shining with a glittering brilliance, which was very beautiful.
"Go down, I'll stay by myself for a while." Su Yunshu commanded. The little palace maid listened to Su Yunshu's words, and went down in response.
Only the time of the night belongs to him, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of Su Yunshu's mouth. Originally, she thought that if she entered the palace and was favored, she would be able to be blessed by the emperor, and her mother would no longer have to live like before. Who knows, in the end, the bamboo basket was empty, and the emperor, whom she thought she relied on, died in less than three months.
When she learned the news of the death of the first emperor, she was very shocked and ...... Lost. At least, as long as he lives, she and her mother will not have to live a life of hunger and precariousness. Even if she knew that the first emperor didn't have herself in his heart, and promoted her to be a concubine, it was only for her sensible sake.
If the first emperor had pity for her beyond others, why didn't he even leave a half-word holy decree for her; Why is he sick like that, but he still hides it from her; Why didn't he call someone to tell him about himself in the last moments of his life, so that he could be close to the sick?
Song Yuchen has never loved her, but it was only because Mrs. Su was his obedient dog that he accepted her, and when he saw that she was sensible, he made her a concubine to cook the harem.
The person he really likes should be the queen who once lived in the Wu Palace, who has been sleeping for a long time and cannot be easily mentioned.
Xiao Shun on the side watched Su Yunshu dance solo under the moon, and secretly swallowed his saliva.
"Didn't I say that if you insist on entering the palace, you will regret it one day in the future." Song Yuchen seemed to sense Xiao Shun's embarrassment, glanced sideways at Xiao Shun, and said thoughtfully.
"No, the minion doesn't regret it!" Xiao Shun finally retracted his gaze in embarrassment, glanced at Song Yuchen, and wanted to be forced.
Okay, Song Yuchen turned his head sideways, looked at Su Yunshu's direction and continued to be in a daze, and he didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, Su Yunshu's drunkenness became more and more obvious, presumably because of the attack of alcohol.
Su Yunshu's dancing posture became more and more unbridled and bold, however, she was unstable, and by accident, she stepped on her skirt and fell to the ground.
Just when Su Yunshu was unsteady and almost fell to the ground, a pair of big hands brushed her back. It was Song Yuchen who caught her in time.
"Your Majesty." Su Yunshu muttered, not knowing whether it was the emperor or the man in front of him.
"You're drunk." Song Yuchen pursed his lips slightly, picked up Su Yunshu horizontally, and walked towards her dormitory. Although it was unreasonable for him to carry her into her bedroom, but now Su Yunshu was drunk and in a hurry.
"Your Majesty." Su Yunshu called again, raised his hand and gently grabbed Song Yuchen's sleeve. Song Yuchen pursed his lips and didn't speak, and after putting her on the bed, he only said a good rest, and was about to leave.
I was unexpectedly pulled by the sleeve of my shirt.
"Your Majesty," Su Yunshu's words were soft, and they gently floated into Song Yuchen's ears like a feather: "Your Majesty, the concubine is here, and she hasn't seen anyone alive for a long time, it's rare for the emperor to come once, can you ...... Stay with me? β
Song Yuchen stood in place and didn't respond to her for a long time. After a long while, Song Yuchen spoke quietly: "The second miss of the Su family entered the palace today, have you seen her?" β
Su Yunshu's hand on Song Yuchen's sleeve finally let go: "Yes." β
"Your Majesty, do you know what kind of family I have lived in since I was a child?" After Su Yunshu said this, he didn't speak for a long time, as if he was waiting for Song Yuchen's answer, and he seemed to be in deep thought.
Song Yuchen turned his head and looked at Su Yunshu's face. I don't know when, her face was full of tears.
Song Yuchen had never seen such a face before, such a vivid face, and a face that cried desperately. But he also knows very well that many times, a person's family is a person's fate.
Especially women.
There are thousands of people in the world who live hard, and Song Yuchen does not necessarily sympathize with Su Yunshu alone. However, he had not seen such a vivid face for a long time.
In the palace, except for Shi Qingran, who often laughed, everyone else wore masksβgentle and numb masks.
"You say," Song Yuchen may have been stunned, so he said so. As soon as the words came out, he himself was stunned. He knew that the identities of the two were different, but in fact, he shouldn't have stayed here.
"You are precious and noble, naturally you can't imagine how a family, the life of a housewife is a maid. Unfortunately, I am the daughter of the housewife. Su Yunshu said, and tears flowed uncontrollably. She didn't want to reminisce about the tragic encounters in the past, she didn't want to mention them at all, but on the contrary, these memories seemed to have taken root in her mind, and even if she didn't want to mention them, pretending to forget the scars, they still ran out from time to time, tormenting her, telling her that she was such a person who had lived in the abyss since she was a child.
"My mother's ability is my father's original match, in order for my father to enter the career, my mother was blind, and she did embroidery work day and night, buying medicinal materials, in exchange for the future of the Su family's embroidery."
"But Your Majesty, do you know what the first thing my father did after he soared?" Su Yunshu said, smiling self-deprecatingly: "When he became an official, he married the wife of the third aunt in one go." β
"Once my mother had an argument with an aunt's wife, and he threatened to divorce my mother." Su Yunshu said, tears like pearls with broken threads, and they never stopped.
"That's why my mother is going to kill herself. My mother cut her wrists, and the blood on that ground awakened my father's extinguished conscience a little. In fact, my mother only learned later that when she committed suicide, she was already pregnant and had me. β
"Later, my father stopped making trouble with my mother, but he never came to see her once. My mother is no longer in charge. β
"Those aunts, which one is not a ruthless character? Although they are concubines, they dare to bully my mother one by one. Most...... The most unbearable time was when I saw my mother being forced to wash their feet. Your Majesty, you are precious and noble, and you will never experience such sadness and humiliation in your life. β
Song Yuchen watched Su Yunshu cry into tears, and was a little moved for a while. He wanted to tell her to stop and stop talking, but when he saw Su Yunshu's appearance, he was a little speechless.
