Chapter 61: The Appearance of the Third Bracelet
When I returned to Yu Yuxuan, I happened to meet the emperor, I didn't have a good impression of the emperor in the first place, and now he made such a cruel holy decree to the people in the Huayue Palace, and his impression of him was even worse to the extreme.
When I first saw the bright yellow figure, I was so angry that I wanted to turn around and leave, but I was helpless to hold me back.
The emperor smiled and grabbed Concubine Wan's slender waist and glanced at us. Just as he made eye contact with me, his face instantly fell, and he glared at me fiercely and asked, "How did he enter the palace?" β
I said in my heart that I don't want to see you either, just when I wanted to explain, Concubine Wan was already one step ahead of me, she skillfully turned from left to right in the emperor's arms, holding her forehead with her hand, and shouted delicately: "Jin, people's heads are so dizzy." Saying that, she leaned into the emperor's arms again, and the emperor finally stopped looking at me, and he frowned and asked with concern, "Is there anything uncomfortable?" As he spoke, he hugged Concubine Wan across his chest and walked to the inner room.
I was relieved. After they were far away, Sisi and I got up from the ground, and just as we were about to leave, Sisi grabbed me again.
She led me to the side hall, closed the door, turned and knelt down before me. I was startled and pulled her up. She desperately struggled her arm out of my hand, crying, "Sister, I really didn't mean to. β
I stopped pulling her and looked straight at her, not saying a word. Seeing that I didn't speak, her voice trembled even more: "Sister, I know that I did something wrong this time, but... But you can't just listen to Bilin's words~"
I now finally understood why she knelt down, thinking that I must have known something, and was afraid to blame her. In fact, Bi Lin only told me a result, and I really don't know anything about the process. Seeing Sisi's frightened look, I simply decided to ask for an understanding.
I didn't say anything, I just kept looking at her. When she saw that I was silent, the panic in her eyes became more and more obvious.
"Sister, I'm not as lucky as you to meet a master who is so good to you. Ever since I came to this plane, I've lived a life that isn't even as good as a human being. Later, although I met Concubine Xian, I knew that in this palace, if you don't have power, others will look down on you at all. So I tried my best to please Concubine Xian, and worked hard to tie her up until I got the position of her personal palace maid. Sisi looked up at me as she spoke, and quickly lowered her head like a child who had made a mistake.
She sniffed and continued: "But the preference is not long, and after Concubine Wan came, Concubine Xian quickly fell out of favor. I also know that in the deep palace, no matter how beautiful a master who has fallen out of favor is before, she will definitely have a hard time in the future, but Concubine Xian is kind to me, and I can't abandon her, so I am still good to her, and I have tried all kinds of ways, hoping that the emperor can come and see Concubine Xian. β
I think Sisi must have been affected by the big environment here. She wasn't like this at all before, this harem is indeed a place where people don't spit out bones, if she hadn't been involved in this battle for favor, how could she have ended up where she is today?
"And then?"
"Laterβ" Si Si paused, and did not go any further. I waited a little anxiously, and was about to ask her again, but she suddenly grabbed my hand and cried more fiercely than before.
"Sister, I really didn't mean to, I really didn't want to kill Concubine Xian, she was so good to me, I... How could I? How did I get my hands on it! She shook her head and cried loudly, like a frightened fawn, panicked and helpless.
I pressed her in my arms, slowly stroked her back, and slowed my voice: "Don't say it, it's all over." β
I felt Sisi's head move, and she slowly withdrew from my arms, stared at me and continued, "Sister, do you remember the crystal bracelet when we came over? β
I nodded, it was the only thing that would allow us to go back, and I had dug a small pocket in my underwear to hide it in.
Sisi didn't speak for a long time, she lowered her head and silently pulled her sleeves to her elbows, and a bracelet with silver light on Bai Yu's wrist gradually revealed. She slowly stretched her wrist in front of her and motioned for me to look.
I took a closer look at the light, only to find that there was an extremely small crack in the middle of the amethyst, and if I didn't look closely, I couldn't see it at all.
"How so?" My heart was cold, and my body immediately collapsed and fell to the ground. I know that Sisi may not have the possibility of going back, but I can't leave her here alone, what is it okay?
I lost my mind all of a sudden, and looked at the bracelet that still shone purple. The mechanism that activates the space-time rift is inside the amethyst, and there is no one here who can repair it, so if she really can't go back after four years, I'll stay here with her.
I thought to myself. Probably because my expression of loss was too obvious, Sisi had already withdrawn her wrist. She took my hand and whispered, "Sister, I know what you're worried about. It may be that God has mercy and let me meet a noble person. β
I immediately understood who the noble person in her mouth was, and said sharply: "So you helped her kill Concubine Xian?" β
"Nope! That's not true! In the beginning, I also refused, but... Butβ" she said, taking out a bracelet from her pocket that was exactly the same as the one on her wrist and handing it to me.
The cool metallic touch convinced me that it was all true. I took off the bracelet from her wrist and compared it in front of my eyes, and found that it was identical in terms of workmanship and shape, even the tiny device in the amethyst was the same.
"This isβ" Now it was my turn to be speechless, and I looked at it again, and I couldn't see the difference between the two.
"This is given to me by Concubine Wan, sister, I really have to do that to Concubine Xian, if I don't do this, I can't go back."
I looked at the other bracelet in my hand speechlessly, and asked suspiciously, "Are you sure it functions exactly the same as the original one?" β
She nodded vigorously, and said that Concubine Wan had verified it on the spot to show her, and she also told me that not only that, but Concubine Wan was also ready to recognize her as her sister on her birthday, so that she would not be bullied by anyone in the palace again, and she also swore to me that no matter what happened in the future, she would never hurt another life.
Although I wanted to believe her, I knew that if I wanted to protect myself in this deep palace, it was impossible to keep my hands bloody. I looked at Sisi's calm appearance, and there were many words that I couldn't say, so I could only nod slightly.
In the evening, Sisi wanted to leave me for dinner, but I refused. I walked slowly from the palace to the palace alone, I have been doubting the authenticity of the bracelet in my heart, and at the same time I began to doubt the identity of Concubine Wan, I feel that I am surrounded by mysteries that I can't see clearly, the mysterious Zhao Ke, the seemingly kind Concubine Wan, and the two killers who have been chasing and killing King Xiaoyao, I feel that I have fallen deeper and deeper, unable to extricate myself.
