Chapter 26: Saffron

Sure enough, Tiger Fall Pingyang was bullied by dogs, since Ziling was demoted to promise and imprisoned in Xihuatang by Meng Hongyu, the people in the entire palace knew that the high-spirited "Xiao Guifei" in the past was gone, and even the little palace maids and eunuchs who swept in the Cold Moon Palace did not take her seriously, and sometimes even swept a large number of fallen flowers and dead leaves to the door of Xihuatang in a prank......

No, the things sent by the Internal Affairs Office to Xihuatang are all defective, and the portions of various things every month are also given to Xihuatang after the other concubines have finished picking. Charcoal is not good wet charcoal, full of smoke, burning all over the house with clouds and mist, choking people's tears; The meals for three meals a day gradually became poor, and sometimes, the little eunuch who delivered the meals simply forgot to send them, and the jade slave had to go and get some leftovers by himself......

Originally, Ziling didn't know how to eat or sleep, she didn't care about anything, she didn't care about anything, whether she was wearing silk or coarse linen, whether she was eating delicacies from the mountains and seas or leftovers, she didn't care. However, when she found out that she was pregnant, she finally stopped living as a walking corpse and began to worry about the baby in her womb.

She knows that the child in her womb is the motivation and reason for her to pluck up the courage to live well again! Even if the once solid love between her and Meng Hongyu has long been wiped out, even if this child is really not at the right time, even if she has nothing now, but no matter what, her child is innocent!

Since TA is here, she has to find ways to let TA take root and sprout with peace of mind. Now, her mother, who has fallen out of favor and is imprisoned, can no longer give her any glory and grace, so at least she should be given enough nutrition to let her come to this world smoothly, right?

Therefore, Xiao Ziling asked Yunu to tell the Internal Affairs Office that she was pregnant, and Xihuatang's daily food had to be provided on time and in quantity. After Yu Nu told the Internal Affairs Office about this, an imperial doctor came that afternoon, and the imperial doctor carefully checked Xiao Ziling's pulse with a solemn expression and left silently.

In the next few days, the imperial dining room sent food on time, but it was still some coarse tea and light rice, which was even worse than what the palace maids ate, and Xiao Zi was so angry that he almost shed tears! She finally knew that the world was cold and cold, and that Meng Hongyu's grace was really important to the women of the harem, deciding life and death!

For the sake of the child in her womb, she finally chose to take a step back and compromise with Meng Hongyu, and even wagged her tail and begged Meng Hongyu for mercy, however, he turned a deaf ear to her pleading-

A few days ago, Zi Ling wrote a sincere "letter of repentance" to Meng Hongyu, and attached the jade butterfly he gave him, and asked the jade slave to spend a lot of money to ask the eunuchs of the Internal Affairs Office to ask Li Zhao to transfer it to Meng Hongyu. Two days later, the jade butterfly returned to Xiao Ziling's hands intact, as for whether Meng Hongyu saw the letter, or ignored it after seeing it, Xiao Ziling did not know!

She knew that Meng Hongyu was really ruthless and refused to see her this time, if it weren't for her child, she would have no care about her grace, and she didn't care if she could get his favor again. But now, she is pregnant, she is no longer alone, and she has a thriving little life in her womb! She wants to give birth to this little life, and she wants to give her a complete love, and a complete love should include maternal love and father's love!

She hopes that although this child came at an inopportune time, he can break the deadlock between them, release their previous suspicions, and even save Zhan Zhan's life. However, something unexpected happened -

On this day, Xiao Ziling wrote a few pages casually and then leaned on the couch in the study to take a nap, at this time, Yunu happily came to report that the Internal Affairs Office had come to announce the emperor's holy decree!

The Emperor's Holy Decree? Could it be that after he knew that she was pregnant, he was finally willing to forgive her for the sake of the child and let her live? Xiao Ziling hurriedly ran to the small living room full of joy to receive the decree, she knelt quietly with anticipation, and listened to the eunuch who announced the decree read softly-

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: Give Xiao Ziling a bowl of saffron, and drink it immediately!"

Only these few words, the eunuch who announced the decree read it softly, without a trace of strength. However, to Xiao Ziling's ears, every word was a sharp arrow, which shot into her heart one by one, and shot her heart into a thousand holes. This "concise and concise" holy decree is like a thunderbolt from the sky, directly splitting Xiao Ziling's full expectation in half, and her last trace of affection for him is gone!

Listening to his holy decree, Xiao Ziling knelt on the ground steadily, like a sculpture, with no expression, only tears rolling in her eyes. Yunu and Xiaoru were also stunned, staring at the eunuchs who had come to announce the decree in disbelief. I saw that there was a little eunuch standing behind the eunuch who announced the decree, and the little eunuch was holding a end plate in his hand, and a celadon white bowl was placed on the end plate......

"Nope! No! Xiao Ziling seemed to have finally comprehended the "will" of this holy decree, and she roared with tears, "I don't drink!" I don't drink! ……”

"Niangniang...... don't embarrass the slaves......" said the eunuch who announced the decree in embarrassment.

"No!" Xiao Ziling roared hoarsely, stood up suddenly, and approached the eunuch step by step, her eyes were full of strong hatred, and she roared hoarsely, "Call Meng Hongyu to see me!" If I had to drink this bowl of saffron, ask him to hand it to me himself, otherwise, I wouldn't believe it was real! I don't believe it! ”

She was really mad, the despair and anger in her heart made her head swell, and made her angry, she couldn't even avoid calling "Meng Hongyu" by her name! You know, this is a sin that deserves death! But now, Xiao Ziling can't care about anything, if Meng Hongyu really wants to beat her child and take away her last bit of hope, then she will let go!

A room full of palace maids and eunuchs were frightened by Xiao Ziling's sudden anger, and the eunuch who announced the decree couldn't help but weaken his knees, knelt in front of her with a "plop", and said with a crying voice: "Niangniang...... Don't embarrass your minions...... I can't go back to my life, but the slave can't escape the death penalty......"

However, Xiao Ziling didn't care if they would really be "unable to escape the death penalty", so she turned the hatred in her eyes into two sharp swords and stabbed fiercely at the group of eunuchs who were "not good". She walked up to the little eunuch with the saffron step by step, and sneered and picked up the celadon white bowl......

Seeing Zi Ling holding the celadon white bowl, Yu Nu thought she was going to drink the saffron in the bowl, so she hurriedly stopped her and said, "Miss, don't!" Don't ......" She shook her head at Zi Ling in horror, her eyes full of pleading.

Ziling smiled desperately at the jade slave, and then, like crazy, picked up the celadon white bowl and slammed it to the ground...... with a crisp "bang", the celadon white bowl shattered instantly, and the black medicinal juice splashed all over Xiao Ziling's face...... The splattered shards scratched her right cheek, and a hot pain came from her cheek, and a stream of blood poured out......

She remembered that night, Meng Hongyu broke the teacup, and the splashed broken porcelain also scratched her right cheek...... Was it already destined that she had worked so hard to cross over here just to repay his love debts? Just so that he could scarred her? What the hell did she owe him in her last life?!

Everyone was frightened by Xiao Ziling's actions, this time, all the eunuchs knelt down, kneeling on the ground and trembling - now, the bowl of saffron given by the emperor was broken, and they couldn't go back to recover their lives, it was really a catastrophe! They were kneeling on the ground and were scared half to death, but they heard Xiao Ziling suddenly laugh wildly-

"Hahaha...... Hahaha...... "Xiao Ziling shed tears, looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, the laughter was earth-shattering and resounding in the sky, and there was a huge force in the laughter, which was enough to penetrate the clouds and scare away the wandering white clouds. She laughed heartily, laughed heartbreakingly, laughed desperately and bitterly......

The laughter really startled the birds on the old banyan tree outside the Xihua Hall, and they scattered in all directions, screaming and flying into the air......

After laughing, Xiao Ziling only felt a sore throat, a salty taste came from her throat, she coughed violently, but coughed up a mouthful of blood...... With a disgusted expression, she spit out the blood in her mouth to the ground, she turned around and walked in front of the group of eunuchs, and said lightly to the little eunuch who announced the decree: "Let the emperor personally send it, and I will drink this saffron!" ”

Her voice was extremely hoarse, it sounded indistinct, as if that burst of laughter had ruined her throat, and in this life, she didn't want to say a word more!

The group of eunuchs didn't seem to hear Xiao Ziling's words, they were still kneeling on the ground and trembling, Xiao Ziling roared again in her hoarse voice: "Get out!" Then they hurriedly stood up and ran out of the Yuhua Hall......

As soon as they left, Xiao Ziling suddenly fell to the ground exhausted, and the tears in his eyes surged out like the Yellow River bursting its banks...... She clenched her hands to her chest and cried bitterly. However, her vocal cords had been injured by the wild laughter just now, and she could not make a sound, only a faint "whine" sound came from her throat, and she wailed heartbreakingly like a wounded wolf...... Yunu and Xiao Ruyi knelt on the side and wept silently with her......

He still wouldn't believe her! He had already been convinced in his heart that she had a personal affair with Zhan Zhan, and even decided that the child she was carrying in her womb was Zhan Zhan's, so he would ruthlessly give her a bowl of saffron to beat her child, didn't he? !

In the end, what does she owe him in the reincarnation of fate? Otherwise, how could she fall in love with such a ruthless guy, how could she conceive a child for such a ruthless guy? Now, he is so mad that he wants to lay his own flesh and blood with his own hands......

God, you are wrong and foolish! The land is also, you don't distinguish between good and bad!
