CHAPTER XLIII

I greeted Mr. Wu into the Xinuan Pavilion and made tea for Mr. Wu with my own hands, Mr. Wu smiled: "Why does Gege still make tea by himself now?" ”

I smiled and sat down across from him: "What's wrong with making tea for Mr.?" ”

Mr. Wu took a sip of tea: "Although there is a queen in the harem now, but up and down in the court, who doesn't know that the princess is the real queen of the Qing Dynasty." The queen only has a name and a golden book, but the princess is the real mother of the world. ”

I scoffed, "Don't say that, sir, I'm just a princess." Then I lowered my eyes again: "Sir, I still can't save Dai Duo after all......"

Mr. Wu patted me on the head: "Why should Gege be like this, that's his life." You should go with the flow, don't you? You have tried your best, but people can't resist the original trajectory of fate after all, if people have souls, then Dador must be unbearable to see the princess so sad. What's more, Gege has already tried his best to rush away, and he should be relieved. ”

I bit my lip and shook my head: "If I had gone faster, maybe it wouldn't have been so ......"

"Silly boy, why is this still the case? Be obedient and don't be sad anymore. ”

I nodded, looked up and asked him, "How long will you stay this time?" Can you not go back? ”

Mr. Wu laughed at me for being stupid: "Silly Gege, I'll stay for a few days, and then I'll leave." I just don't worry about you, so I'll come back and have a look. ”

I pouted: "Mr. went out by himself, and I don't care if I'm ......in this palace."

Mr. Wu laughed loudly: "Hahaha! Gege also said that he was different from before, isn't this still the same as when he was a teenager? Still talking like this, coquettish like this. ”

I was ashamed and said, "Sir! ”

Mr. Wu shook his head: "Okay, okay, Wu won't say it, don't say it." Gege has had a hard time in the palace in the past few years, right? ”

I held the teacup and looked at the steam: "That's it, sir, so wise, you can already think about what kind of situation I am in this palace, isn't it?" ”

Mr. Wu nodded, and Xiao Shunzi walked in from outside: "Princess, sir, the emperor is in court." ”

"Oh? Where has the emperor gone? As soon as I finished speaking, I heard the fourth master say outside: "Gone here!" ”

Xiao Shunzi let go of the door, knelt on the ground and asked for peace, I helped Mr. Wu to stand up, watched the fourth master walk in in a dragon robe, and asked An Dao: "The emperor is blessed with Jin'an." ”

The fourth master came over and helped us up: "Please be safe, sit down." He looked at Mr. Wu sitting and asked softly, "Mr. has been tired all the way, is it okay?" ”

Mr. Wu nodded: "It's okay, it's okay." The emperor looked a little tired. ”

The fourth master's eyes were blue, and he frowned: "I'm fine." He turned his head and said to Su Peisheng and Xiao Shunzi, "You all go down." ”

Su Peisheng closed the door of Xinuan Pavilion, and I accompanied the fourth master into the inner room to change his clothes before he came out to talk to Mr. Wu.

They talked about the situation on Tian Wenjing's side, and talked about the situation in the court, Mr. Wu's smile revealed a lightness that saw through the world: "The emperor has already made a decision in his heart, so don't hesitate any longer, otherwise there will be many dreams at night." ”

The fourth master nodded: "Well, I also know that if I don't be ruthless, I'm afraid that Dai Duo is just the beginning." ”

I pursed my lips, and felt uncomfortable when I thought of Dai Duo, and the fourth master pinched my palm: "Dai Duo saved you a few white fox skins, and I asked the Internal Affairs Office to make you a hat and a new scarf." He probably wanted to make you a new cloak, but unfortunately he couldn't save enough. ”

I felt sad: "It's good to do anything, it's good to keep his heart." ”

The fourth master nodded, and Mr. Wu comforted me: "Gege, don't feel uncomfortable anymore." ”

I nodded, smiled and stood up, "Let's talk first, I'll help you prepare lunch." Today, I need to prepare a few more dishes that my husband likes to eat. ”

The fourth master nodded, smiled and said, "Go ahead." ”

I quietly retreated, and the moment I closed the door, I heard the voice of the fourth master say to Mr. Wu: "Sir, what do you think should be done......?"

I stood at the door, stunned for a long time and couldn't take another step, until Xiao Shunzi next to me lowered his voice and called me softly: "Princess? ”

I snapped back to my senses, looked at him, nodded, and walked out.

When I got to the Imperial Dining Room and saw that they were almost ready, I walked back from the Imperial Dining Room, thinking about the things that had disturbed me, but I didn't look at the road, and ran straight into a man.

As soon as I looked up, I saw Nian Yuyao's maid anxiously asking, "Niangniang, are you okay?" ”

I frowned, why did I bump into her, so I had to say hello: "I'm sorry, Concubine Nian, are you okay?" I didn't pay attention to the road and accidentally bumped into you. Are you okay? ”

Nian Yuyao waved her hand: "It's not in the way, why is the princess a little lost today?" ”

I smiled slightly: "It's nothing, I just thought about these things, so I got distracted." Why is the mother here? "It's no coincidence that Nian Yuyao is in this place, right? This is not where she will come.

"Oh, it's just a little boring to stay in the palace, so I came out for a walk, and by coincidence, I met the princess."

"If you have anything to say, please say it directly." I didn't bother to deal with her.

Seeing this, Nian Yuyao also retreated, and looked at me arrogantly: "No matter how you are, you are just a princess with no status, don't think you can fight me, let alone think that you can beat my brother." ”

I smiled helplessly: "Where did I start with my mother's words, why should I fight with my mother?" Why do you want to fight with General Nian? As you said, I'm just a princess with no status, but you're the top of the young general's heart, the most favored concubine in the harem. I thought of the relationship between Nian Yuyao and Nian Qianyao, and said with a sneer: "Nian Concubine Niangniang, if there is nothing else, forgive me for not accompanying me, the emperor is still waiting for me in Xinuan Pavilion." ”

I walked away from her, leaving her shouting behind me, "Don't be arrogant! You wait! You'll regret it! ”

I kept walking, not stopping because of her crazy words......

Back in Xinuan Pavilion, they were sitting and chatting about some parents, and I sat down quietly, thinking that this was really good, as if I was in the fourth master's mansion before. I gently held the hand of the fourth master beside me, and he squeezed my palm, thinking that he had the same idea as me.

When it was almost lunchtime, the thirteenth brother also came, looked at me with a smile and asked, "This trip has been going for so long, and I have lost weight." I'm not in good spirits. ”

I shook my head: "Okay?" Not so much. ”

Brother Thirteen poked my forehead with his finger: "Stinky girl, hard mouth." After that, he didn't bother to argue with me, and said to Mr. Wu instead: "Mr. has been tired all the way, and he looks better than this girl." ”

Mr. Wu nodded: "Wu is indeed not bad, Gege has too many things in his heart, and if he continues like this, sooner or later he will get sick because of too much thinking." ”

The fourth master also nodded approvingly: "Indeed, this girl is too heavy-minded." ”

I frowned, "Do you eat or not?" ”

"Eat, eat, eat! Look at your anger! Brother Thirteen smiled at me.

I rolled my eyes and had lunch brought to me, eating quietly and listening to them.

After lunch, I asked Mr. Wu, "Does Mr. want to live in the palace or outside the palace?" ”

"Let's live outside the palace, there are many rules in the palace, and Wu can't stand it."

I pursed my lips, but the thirteenth brother was happy: "Then first wronged Mr. to live in my house, right?" ”

Mr. Wu nodded: "That's good, it's just going to disturb the Thirteenth Master." ”

"Hey! What's so bothering about this. ”

The fourth master patted me on the shoulder: "Mr. still has to stay for a few days, don't be so unhappy." ”

"Oh......"

Looking at me like a child, they looked at each other and smiled.

I didn't bother to say anything, I sent away the thirteenth master and Mr. Wu, the fourth master took my hand and went into the inner room for a nap, I asked him softly: "Fourth brother, have you decided what to do with the eighth and ninth masters?" ”

"Hmm."

"Fourth Brother ......"

"I know you can't bear it, but there are many things that there is no way to do."

I know...... "I know you have your helplessness, Fourth Master, but how can I get through this hurdle in my heart, how can I bear to watch the Ninth Master suffer like that?"

That's it......

So be it......

After that, I didn't bother to care about those things in the court, my heart was messy, and the quack doctor also said that I should calm down and recuperate.

In April, Nian Qianyao was relieved of his post as governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, handed over the seal of General Fuyuan, and was transferred to Hangzhou.

Soon, the eighth and ninth masters were listed for dozens of crimes, and in addition to their clan registration, they were renamed "Aqina" and "Seth Black".

Of course, I am dissatisfied with the fourth master's treatment, but this is the original trajectory of history, and I have nothing to do......

I sat in the room, thinking about all this, and I felt really bad about how far history had come to this......

The fourth master specifically told me that he would not let me go to visit the ninth master, when he said this, his eyes were very complicated, and I had no choice but to respond. Secretly, he asked the secret guard to take good care of the ninth master, and he must not be harmed.

I thought that everything would be able to pass through peacefully like this......

Until November, Nian Yuyao suddenly became seriously ill.

She specially asked people to come to Xinuan Pavilion to find me, although I didn't want to, but I could only rush to her palace, looking at her lying on the bed sickly, still a dying person, I still felt a little unbearable in my heart.

"Is there anything the imperial concubine is looking for me?"

Nian Yuyao looked at me hatefully: "Do you know, in my life, the person I hate the most is you." You are obviously not as young and beautiful as me, but you have all the love and sincerity of the emperor. No matter how hard I work for so many years, I'm just a favorite concubine, just favored...... Your Majesty, you've never smiled at me......"

I didn't speak, I just watched her quietly, and I didn't know what to say.

Nian Yuyao coughed a few times: "I originally thought that as long as the Nala clan completely fell out of favor, the emperor would definitely let me be the queen." But I only understand now that the emperor retains the position of queen of the Nala clan, not because he still has any husband and wife feelings for the Nala clan, but you can't be his queen at all, so it doesn't matter who is him, just find someone who has no children to be the queen, and the harem will be peaceful. ”

"You're smarter now."

"Huh, smart? If I were smart, how could I not know that I was drugged? How could I know now that it was because of that medicine that I couldn't give birth to a good healthy child...... I don't have children, even if I am favored in this harem, so what? ”

"Don't you still have blessings?" In Nian Yuyao's life, there is only one child, Fuhui, who has not died yet.

Nian Yuyao shook her head: "I don't know how long Fuhui can live, I only know that he won't live to be the prince." ”

I had nothing to say about it, and she continued: "You know, from the day I first heard about the fourth master from my brother, I told myself that I must marry him in the future. Be sure to marry him! My brother said that the fourth master will be the emperor in the future, and I can be the queen...... But I really married him, but I never became a queen in my life. Until I die, I'm just an imperial concubine......"

She said, looking up at me, "What the hell are you capable of?" How can you let the fourth master just make a move on my Nian family? I said you wouldn't be able to fight me, you wouldn't be able to fight my brother, but now, my brother is going to be questioned, and I'm going to die...... It's all because of you! It's all because of you! ”

I sneered: "It's all because of me? Imperial concubine, I didn't let your brother rely on his high merits and not take the emperor in his eyes, and I didn't let you be powerful in the Yongwang Mansion and the harem. Haven't you come to this point in your own doing? How did you put all such a great sin on my head? I can't afford it. ”

"It's all because of you! If it weren't for you, the emperor would definitely fall in love with me, if he loved me, he wouldn't treat me like this, and he wouldn't treat my family like this! ”

"Don't be stupid, no matter what, the emperor won't let you be the queen. Don't you want to know why your brother is in a hurry to kill the emperor's henchman Dai Duo? "It's just the two of us in the room at this point, and I'm not afraid to tell her about it. Anyway, she's going to die.

"You know? How would you know? ”

Of course I know, because it was because of his eagerness to tell me a big secret that he would be killed...... "Diet, you died because of me."

"Secret?"

I nodded: "Nian Yuyao, don't you think that you are the ** of the Nian family, so you are arrogant?" Don't you think that your brother spoils you so much, so you can walk sideways at home and in the harem? But have you ever wondered why your brother spoils you so much? Don't you think he's spoiling you a little too much? ”

Nian Yuyao shook her head: "What do you want to say?" ”

I leaned into her ear and whispered, "You, you're not your father's child at all." You are the son of Nian Qianyao and a girl in a green building. Your brother spoils you, not because you are his little sister, but because you are his daughter. ”
