Chapter Thirty-Eight: My Sister's Words
When I returned to Yaoguang Palace, my mother had already left the palace, and my sister also took the initiative to see me for the first time.
"Did the queen say what she was looking for me for?" I asked Ruri who came to call me.
"No, I just said that I wanted to dine with the second lady."
"It's still a little time before lunch."
"Isn't it possible that the mother thinks of the second miss? You haven't said hello to your mother for two days after you entered the palace, how can you do this, sister. Liuli said to me a little angrily, I smiled, Liuli will be the protector.
"I know, it's my fault, I'll personally kneel down to make amends to the queen later." I put my arms around Liuli's wrist and said coquettishly.
"No need to kneel, the second lady just accompanies the queen well."
After Liuli gave me a look at what you can't do, she dragged me quickly to my sister's room.
"Second Miss go in by yourself first, remember not to stimulate Niangniang, the slave maid go to see how Niangniang's medicine is boiling." When I arrived at the door, Liuli still told me uneasily.
"Don't worry, I know what to do." I pushed Ruri, who was full of anxiety, to the side.
"Really?"
"Really, really, go ahead."
Looking at her step by step, I think I'm really worried about my sister, but in this comparison, my biological sister doesn't seem to be so dutiful.
I walked softly and slowly into the room, my sister was slightly closed, quietly leaning on the side of the bed to recuperate, her face was pale without a trace of blood, sometimes frowning slightly, sometimes spitting heavily, the torture of illness made her lose her former vitality, it seems that this time because of the early death of the prince to my sister is indeed a big blow.
"Sister." I whispered to the bed.
When she saw me coming, my sister struggled to sit up from the bed, her pale face contorted with pain, as if every movement was a great torment.
"Sister, slow down." I quickly got my sister a cushion so that she could lean back on the bed more comfortably.
"I heard that you went to Chengxin Hall today and stayed in the emperor's studio for a while?" After sitting down, my sister spoke slowly.
"Well, the emperor said that he had something to show me, so ......"
"So, you've seen all those paintings of the emperor?"
"Yes, but I don't believe that." I quickly explained to my sister.
"What if I say it's all true? Everything in the emperor's painting is real...... cough cough cough cough ......" Because of her emotion, my sister coughed violently after she finished speaking.
"Drink some water first." I quickly got up and brought my sister a glass of water.
"I don't drink, you sit down and listen to me, what if that's all true?" My sister refused the water I handed her, and took my hand and said solemnly.
"Why do you even have to believe in those ethereal things, sister."
"Min'er, this is not an ethereal thing. It's all really happened. When the queen said this, I clearly felt the disappointment in her eyes, the last time I saw this expression was in my previous life, when my sister asked me how many days I entered the palace......
"Sister." I didn't know how to answer, because I knew better than anyone else that it was really happening, but the disappointment in my sister's eyes made me feel an invisible sting.
"I'm dying." When she said this, her sister laughed easily.
"No, my sister will definitely get better."
"It's not good, this is my life, ten years ago, I thought I could change, but now it seems that I can't."
What life, what ten years ago? Although I had a lot of questions, when I opened my mouth, only one word came out of my mouth.
"Sister." I held my sister's hand and couldn't say anything.
"Min'er is good." My sister stretched out her hand towards me and touched my cheek, just like when I was a child, her face was full of tenderness, "Don't blame my sister, everything my sister did was for Nantang, this is also the life of our sisters, and I can't complain about others." ”
"Min'er can't understand what her sister is saying." I lowered my head, unwilling to continue looking at my sister.
"Sister knows that you don't understand, but you promised my sister that if I die, Min'er must enter the palace as a concubine, and the queen mother and the emperor will definitely ensure that you ascend to the throne and protect you."
Do you take care of me? In times of social turmoil, who can protect whom......
"Sister thinks too much, you won't die, and I don't want to enter the palace." Why does even my sister insist so much, why does everyone insist on me entering this deep palace......
"Silly sister, it's no longer a question of whether you want to or not, it's all fate." My sister removed the pillow from her waist and lay down again.
"Sister."
"I'm tired, you go and help me pick up Zhong Xuan, I miss him." My sister closed her eyes, and I knew that she didn't want to say anything more to me.
"Okay."
"Let's eat later."
"Okay." I pretended not to see the tears in my sister's eyes, and gently withdrew the quilt on both ends.
I don't understand why my sister would suddenly say this to me? Does my sister know something? What's the secret behind all this?
