Chapter 2073: The missing Sheng Xuanhao
"Yes, the news only came here today, this is the concubine Niangniang's maid Cuicui, after dealing with the matter of the concubine Niangniang, she sent it to you, and then Cuicui also committed suicide and died." Dandan looked at Sun Huanting in fear and said.
Sun Huanting's trembling hands slowly went over and picked up the letter.
Tear open the envelope slowly.
Sister Wan Ting:
See the words as well.
It seems that it has been a long, long, long time since I called you like that, right? When I put pen to paper, I was also very embarrassed whether I should call you Sister Grace or call you the queen.
Since I left the Imperial Palace, I have returned to the countryside with my father, only to find that my life has not ended there, but has begun a new hellish cycle.
I started to have all kinds of ailments, and I often felt like I couldn't help myself. In addition to the pain in my body, I found it even more difficult to meet my father when I was sober.
I was scared to see his face, scared, scared. When I dream back at midnight, I often think of the days when I lived with the emperor in the palace, I was tormented, painful, and powerless.
So I finally decided that when I was sober again, I chose to write down this letter, and when I died, let Cui Cui send it to you.
You must hate me, don't you? So, I won't say anything extravagant and ask for your forgiveness, after all, at this point, I still feel that I am not wrong, because we are in love with the unattainable man of Lan Shengguo.
What's wrong with loving someone, what's wrong?
I'm just, just, I can't let go of my father, so, so I want to use our past friendship to beg you, Sister Huanting, if I die, can you send more people to see my father on weekdays?
He is the one I am most worried about.
I don't have anyone to rely on, and you're one of them.
I know that you are not very favored, especially after my incident, the emperor may have two performances, or he loves you more, because I have left the harem, and he will compensate you twice as much for his love for me.
Or, he'll be even more bored with you, because when he sees you, he thinks of me, of me.
However, you are the harem in the harem, you are the queen's mother, and no matter how bad the emperor is, he will ensure that you have an inch of peace.
But, Wan Ting, do you think I will betray the emperor? Do you think I, Li Sisi, the daughter of a generation of nobles, will do such a humiliating ugly thing?
I don't want to say any more superfluous words, as if I have a little more or less answer in my heart at any time, or, in fact, the emperor, never, has ever loved me.
Therefore, if I die, I will never be relieved that it is my father, I returned to my hometown, only to find out how much my father loves and cares about me, in his eyes, I am more important than those official positions, than those glory and wealth.
So, I want to ask you, for the sake of us growing up together, to help me take good care of my father.
Write with a sobbing pen.
Sun Huanting finished reading a letter written by Li Sisi before she died, her eyes flashed and she put the letter back in the envelope, and then handed it to Dandan: "Burn it clean, don't let anyone know about it, it's not good for you and me, and Uncle Li." ”
Dandan was stunned for a moment, and then took it: "Yes, Queen Mother." ”
When Dandan burned the letter to ashes and walked over, Dandan obviously found that there were tears flashing in Sun Huanting's eyes.
"The Queen." Dandan called Sun Huanting softly.
Sun Huanting couldn't hold back a tear that fell, and then quickly picked up a handkerchief to wipe it: "Dandan, Sisi, she said, ask me to take care of her father, the world is cold, after she dies, her father must have lived a miserable life." ”
Dandan nodded: "Yes, the slave understands the queen's thoughts." ”
"In the future, you will ask someone to go to Uncle Li's every once in a while, go and have a look, and give some silver taels for relief." Sun Huanting instructed Dandandao.
"Yes, slave understands."
Sun Huanting nodded, and then sighed: "Sisi and I have been sisters for many years, if it weren't for the fact that we all want to become the emperor's woman, why would we have made trouble to this point?" ”
Dandan didn't speak, and listened carefully to what Sun Huanting said.
"That's it, that's it, now she's gone. However, I do remember one thing, which is very strange. Sun Huanting said.
"What's the matter? The Queen's Mother. Dandan hurriedly asked.
"Actually, I don't really believe that Sisi can do such ugly things, I'm just very strange, the emperor, how can you be so sure that the child in Sisi's belly must be an obstacle? How could he be so sure? I heard that the emperor and Xiao Zhuozi are very, very certain about this matter. Sun Huanting said.
Dandan thought about Sun Huanting's words and felt that it was very reasonable.
"At that time, I only cared about Li Sisi actually doing such ugly things, ignoring other details, and now it is impossible to ask Xiao Zhuozi, he is the emperor's person, he will definitely not tell us anything, maybe there will be leaks, which will make the emperor even more disgusted with us, and even can't help but attack us." Sun Huanting continued, and Dandan nodded in deep agreement.
"Let's do it first, this harem, who is too clear?" Sun Huanting opened her mouth and said, "Or, in fact, I should be grateful to Sisi, because if it weren't for her, I might not have anything to do with the emperor in my life, right?" ”
Sun Huanting couldn't help but laugh at herself when she thought of this, Dandan looked at her like this and became speechless.
After the morning court ended the next day, Sheng Xuanhao went back to his bedroom to change his clothes, and made an appointment with Xiao Zhuozi to see Master Li.
The guard at the door suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty, Concubine Shen wants to have lunch with the emperor with some food." ”
Sheng Xuanhao was taken aback, "When did Shen Yatou take the initiative to come to my dormitory like this?" ”
Xiao Zhuozi changed Sheng Xuanhao's clothes, and couldn't help but pause and said, "Your Majesty, you are not in a hurry at this time, you might as well follow Concubine Shen to have lunch before leaving." ”
Sheng Xuanhao thought for a moment, but still shook his head: "You go and tell Concubine Shen Niangniang, just say that I have already eaten in the dormitory, Xiao Zhuozi has prepared it for me in advance, I want to rest, let her go back to eat." Sheng Xuanhao explained to the guards.
"Yes." The guards ran out.
Xiao Zhuozi was stunned when he saw this, and then continued to sort out Sheng Xuanhao's clothes, Sheng Xuanhao said: "Let's not delay this moment, let's go early and return early." "Yes."
Shen Le'an guessed that Sheng Xuanhao would not dine with her, she turned around and walked away, Ah Liang and Xiaoxiao looked at each other and hurriedly followed.
"Concubine Shen, Xu Yes, has the emperor really eaten it?" Xiaoxiao hurriedly went up to comfort Shen Le'an.
Shen Le'an stopped and suddenly opened the food box, but it turned out to be empty, no wonder Shen Le'an didn't let Ah Liang carry it all the way, he had to carry it himself, it turned out that there was nothing.
Xiaoxiao and Ah Liang were stunned, and then Shen Le'an smiled: "I already knew that the emperor would not dine with me." ”
Xiaoxiao and Ah Liang glanced at each other again, "Concubine Shen." ”
"Come over here, hide, you'll see something in a moment." Shen Le'an suddenly saw a rockery stone, pulled Ah Liang and Xiaoxiao and said.
"Huh?" Ah Liang followed Shen Le'an at a loss, and Xiaoxiao was silent and did not speak.
Sure enough, when the three of them just squatted down and hid, the figure of Xiao Zhuozi appeared at the door of Sheng Xuanhao's dormitory, he looked around over there, and then turned around and went in.
"He was called out by the emperor to see if I was gone." Shen Le'an explained to Xiaoxiao and Ah Liang about Xiao Zhuozi's bewildering behavior.
Xiaoxiao and Ah two were stunned.
Sure enough, then Xiao Zhuozi walked out of it with Sheng Xuanhao.
Then the three of them watched Xiao Zhuozi take Sheng Xuanhao over there, and then a carriage came over, Sheng Xuanhao got into the carriage with the support of Xiao Zhuozi, and the carriage slowly drove towards the direction of the palace gate under the drive of Xiao Zhuozi.
Xiaoxiao and Ah Liang looked at Shen Le'an in surprise, "Concubine Shen, how do you know the emperor's ......" Xiaoxiao said, and Ah Liang also nodded curiously.
Shen Le'an stood up and walked out with the two of them, and then shook the dust on his body and the dust on them.
"Let's go, go back to Yushu Palace, and eat." Shen Le'an avoided their questions and walked towards the Yushu Palace, Ah Liang and Xiaoxiao also closed their mouths and hurriedly followed.
Xiaoxiao and Ah two or two people on the way, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do, I don't know the clouds.
Shen Le'an lowered her head and walked forward, slightly heavy, she knew that the emperor didn't love her, but she still couldn't help but want to come over and test him once, as if she wouldn't be disappointed.
After that, Shen Le'an did whatever she wanted, until the evening, she asked Xiaoxiao to inquire if Sheng Xuanhao had returned, but Xiaoxiao came back and reported that she had not come back yet.
Well, Shen Le'an fell asleep with an uneasy mood, and woke up several times, but she only dared to sit up and lie down on the bed, repeating the cycle several times, and she had just fallen asleep when it was dawn, and suddenly woke up, and when she woke up, she saw that the sky was finally bright, and quickly asked Xiaoxiao: "Is the emperor back?" ”
"Never." Xiaoxiao shook her head helplessly.
"But isn't it today, are you going to go to court?" Shen Le'an asked, her panic all written on her face.
"The slave doesn't know." Xiaoxiao said.
Seeing Shen Le'an sitting sullenly, Xiaoxiao walked out to fetch water for her and came in to wash.
It didn't take long for Ah Liang to run in and say in a panic: "Concubine Shen, Concubine Shen." ”
"What's wrong?" Shen Le'an opened his mouth and said.
"Erxiu, no, the slave maid heard that this morning's morning court was canceled, Erxiu came to say, the specific emperor's situation, Erxiu didn't mention a word, just said that the emperor has important things not in the palace, and asked him to come and inform, if there is no special notice, the last three or four days will not go to the court, let all the civil and military officials, have a good rest, prepare for the garden party, and wait for the emperor to come back to see the most detailed preparations." Ah Liang said hurriedly.
Shen Le'an was stunned, she didn't care about whether she went to court or not, she didn't care about the garden party, she only cared, why didn't the emperor come back for three or four days?
Isn't it, in fact, the concubine Niangniang is not dead? So the emperor went to see her? Do they want to be together forever? Shen Le'an couldn't help but think about it, and then she couldn't help but slap herself, "Shen Le'an, how can you guess a deceased person like this, you are so despicable and shameless." ”
In the days that followed, Shen Le'an was not only boring and boring, but more importantly, he missed Sheng Xuanhao, and he also thought about it day and night.
She wouldn't miss him so much if she hadn't seen him before, because she knew that as soon as she looked up, she would know that everyone was in the same area.
Now he is no longer in this palace, as if there is no longer him in this world, which makes people feel that they can't eat or sleep well.
Shen Le'an was always distracted, and he felt distressed when he saw Ah Liang and Xiaoxiao.
Xiaoxiao then decided to run to Erxiu at the risk of being scolded to ask about it, because this was the third day that Sheng Xuanhao had not returned.
"Lord Erxiu." Xiaoxiao often ran to the palace gate to guard, and when she finally saw Er Xiu enter the palace, she shouted loudly.
"Go away, go away, which palace slave." The guards on the side drove Xiaoxiao, and seeing that Xiaoxiao was about to miss Erxiu, Xiaoxiao shouted loudly: "Lord Erxiu, please, look at the slave, look at the slave." ”
Suddenly, Erxiu heard someone calling for him, and he turned his head sharply to see that Xiaoxiao was about to be knocked to the ground by the guards.
"Stop." Erxiu scolded the guards loudly and walked over, Xiaoxiao couldn't help crying with joy, feeling very surprised, as if there was no such surprise in life for a long, long time.
"Lord Erxiu, Lord Erxiu." Xiaoxiao hurriedly called Er Xiu.
Er Xiu drove away the guards, helped Xiaoxiao up, looked at it a few more times, and always felt familiar, and suddenly remembered, isn't this the maid who often follows the Queen Mother?
"What's wrong?" Erxiu shook the dirt of her clothes and said, "Why are you waiting here on such a cold day?" But what happened to the Queen Mother? Erxiu asked worriedly.
"No, it's not about the Queen Mother." Xiaoxiao shook her head and said.
"Oh, then, what's the matter, do you need the minister's help?" Erxiu asked.
Xiaoxiao's eyes were rosy, because Er Xiu was really too gentle, she felt that she couldn't remain calm and stubborn under such gentle and soft words.
"Lord Erxiu." Xiaoxiao choked and called him.
"Okay, you speak slowly, speak slowly, don't be in a hurry." Erxiu took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Xiaoxiao.
"Dare to ask, dare to ask where the emperor has gone? My family, my concubine Shen, miss him very much. Xiaoxiao said.
"You say, who is the master of your family, Concubine Shen?" Erxiu asked in surprise.
Xiaoxiao nodded: "Yes, slave maid, she has been kicked out from the Queen Mother, so she was taken in by Concubine Shen and went to work at Concubine Shen's place!" The emperor has been absent from the palace for several days, Concubine Shen is very worried about him, although Xiao Zhuozi also follows him, but Concubine Shen does not eat and sleep well, the slave always hears her nightmares in the middle of the night, and the slave feels sorry for her. ”
