Chapter 27: Guilt
Ji Xuanyuan smiled, let go of her, and scratched his nose dotingly, "No matter what you say or do, I won't be angry." ”
Su Qingwan touched the tip of her nose and cut her hair uncomfortably, "Then you have to be careful, in case he remembers you, it will be miserable." ”
"He heard me call your name in a dream at that time, and asked me who Ji Xuanyuan was after I was scared to wake up, I perfunctory him, only said that I didn't remember the scene in the dream, and he didn't ask at the time."
Ji Xuanyuan said: "Even if he thinks about it, it's nothing, he can't do anything to me." ”
"In addition, you should have seen Liang Qi, he has already left the palace, and I arranged for someone to pick him up."
Su Qingwan was pleasantly surprised: "How do you know that the second brother entered the palace to assassinate?" Were you the one who saved him? Where is he now? ”
"This time I saved him, and I sent him to Jinzhou, it wasn't me back then, when the Liang family had an accident, I didn't come out of retreat, and after you died, I went out of the valley."
At that time, he was planning to retreat for a long time, but when Liang Yuan died, his heart suddenly twisted like a knife, and he couldn't breathe in pain, and this heartache made him wake up from the retreat suddenly.
Su Qingwan said, "Thank you." ”
She thought to herself, she owed him another love.
Hearing these two words, Ji Xuanyuan chuckled in his heart, his face was serious, and he said in a tough tone: "Don't say thank you to me in the future, only outsiders will say these two words, I don't want your feelings for me to be because of guilt or debt." ”
Su Qingwan was stunned, "You misunderstood, I just ......"
It's just that she didn't say a reason for a long time, she did feel guilty, and the guilt of failing him always lingered in her heart, making her feel that she couldn't hurt him again in this life no matter what.
Not only did she make some intimate gestures with him, but she also spoke softly and politely, and she didn't seem to say thank you to him when she first met.
Seeing that she was cramped and uneasy, Ji Xuanyuan let go of her, took two steps back, and said, "It's because I'm too anxious, let's still be the same as before." ”
He didn't want Ah Yuan to treat his feelings as a burden, not only would he be tired, but he would never get Ah Yuan's love.
Su Qingwan didn't know what kind of feelings she had for him, guilt, debt, love, and even cherishing the deceased again.
When he retreated, Su Qingwan's eyes dimmed slightly, she closed her eyes and thought a lot, recalling last night's embrace, and couldn't help blushing.
"A-Yuan, you will fall in love with me one day, one day." He said these words as if he were swearing.
When Su Qingwan looked up again, he was already gone, and she was the only one in the room.
She collapsed on the bed like a marionette, staring at the curtain on the top of the bed, did she love him or not?
For three days in a row, Ji Xuanyuan never came again.
Su Qingwan began to suffer from gains and losses, people are like this, the more she can't get it, the more she misses it, and the more she misses it, the more she can't let it go, and she is haunted by dreams.
On this day, Su Qingwan took people to Chaofeng Palace, since the queen wanted to move around more, then go and see her.
In Chaofeng Palace, Tang Xinrou was lying on the incense couch, and after Su Qingwan saluted, she stood aside respectfully.
Tang Xinju said: "Don't be too restrained, I think you are good, and you have the same dancing posture as Liang Yuan, thinking that there is no one close to you in this palace, I want you to be my sister." ”
Su Qingwan said: "The concubine has a humble status, and she is not clever enough to speak and act, for fear of annoying the queen." ”
Tang Xinrou sneered: "Bengong used to be good sisters with Liang Yuan, but it's a pity, no matter how smart she is, she still dies, although you are not as smart as her, but Bengong doesn't need you to have much scheming, just be able to help Bengong do your duty." ”
Su Qingwan lowered her head and knelt on the ground: "As long as the queen orders, the concubine will never give up." ”
"You don't have to work hard, good sister, there is indeed something here in this palace that I want you to help me with." Tang Xinrou propped her head and looked at Su Qingwan who was kneeling on the ground.
Su E comprehended, and hurriedly helped Su Qingwan up: "Su Liangyuan get up quickly, she has been kneeling for a long time and hurting herself." ”
"I don't know what Niangniang asked her concubine to do?"
"A while ago, Concubine Shi was punished by the emperor to go to the cold palace because of the palace, and the palace thought that the concubine didn't mean it at that time, and felt guilty and wanted to go to see her, but the identity of the palace was inconvenient, so I wanted my sister to go and see."
Tang Xinrou sat up from the couch as she spoke, patted her hands, and looked like an eldest sister who thinks about you.
Su Qingwan muttered in her heart, but she still responded obediently: "The concubine will go tomorrow." ”
Tang Xinrou said: "Don't wait for tomorrow, go now, go to the dining room to get some snacks that the concubine likes to eat before you go, so you can be sincere." ”
"It's okay, the concubine will go."
When Su Qingwan leaves Chaofeng Palace, she takes Fluttershy and Luoluo in the direction of the imperial dining room.
Fluttershy leaned into her ear and whispered, "Liangyuan, beware, the snacks are poisoned, and it may be that the slaves are too careful, so it's not a big mistake to be careful." ”
Su Qingwan nodded, she felt that the queen might let people do things with dim sum, but on the other hand, she felt that this trick was too bad.
Fluttershy and she thought about going together, she had always overlooked something, it turned out that she was a concubine who was relegated to the cold palace, and it was too easy to die in the cold palace, especially for the queen.
But why didn't Tang Xinrou let go of Shi Concubine, is the threat of Shi Concubine so big?
The queen wanted to test her, but she couldn't shirk it, no matter whether it was good or bad, she had to go to the cold palace.
As Yun Caiqing said, the cold palace is indeed chaotic, and even the eunuchs guarding the cold palace have a gloomy face.
After giving some silver, they were willing to let Su Qingwan and them in.
In a dilapidated room, Concubine Shi was lying on the bed dying, her face was pale, her hair was scattered, and the injuries on her legs were untreated.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Shi Xuanyu cheered up and leaned towards the door, she squinted to see the sunlight shining in and Su Qingwan who was dressed in bright clothes.
She didn't know Su Qingwan, her eyes were nailed to the other party, she looked at the food box in Fluttershy's hand, licked her lower lip, and didn't speak.
The moment Su Qingwan saw her, she knew that the queen didn't want to poison her, but wanted to scare herself with her miserable appearance.
The injury on Shi Xuanyu's leg has festered like this, no one will treat him, he will die sooner or later, and the queen doesn't have to take action.
Su Qingwan opened her mouth and said, "I came to visit Concubine Shi on the order of the queen, and these are the snacks that Concubine Shi likes to eat. ”
"There's no one to serve you, and the table is full of dust."
Fluttershy complains as she cleans up the table and chairs and places the food box.
Luoluo pulled her and asked her not to say this in front of others, Shi Concubine has also been favored, there must have been many people who scolded her before, and there must have been no shortage of maids and attendants, but now she is down, and people go to tea and cool.
