Chapter 57: Bad News
"You... Did you know I was a woman from the beginning? I asked.
"Hmm." The King of Joy replied softly, and we quietly embraced each other. I closed my eyes and felt his warm temperature, and my heart was filled with great happiness, and I thought I really liked him.
We hugged each other for a while before holding hands with him and continuing to walk. The moonlight stretches our figures very long, cool and warm. I chuckled lowly, and he snorted softly. As we passed by the General's Palace, I suddenly stopped and looked sideways at the closed door with a sense of melancholy.
"Reluctantly?" He was a little apprehensive, and his fingers clenched twice unconsciously.
I shook my head and whispered, "I was just thinking about why you were so decisive to give me to Shen Yu in the first place." ”
There was silence for a while, and I turned my head to look at him, and he looked at me steadily, and there was a moment of silence between the two of them. I curled the corners of my mouth and said indifferently, "It's okay, if you don't want to say it, don't say it." With that, it's time to move on.
He suddenly grabbed me and hugged me again, and his tone was extremely serious: "Ah Yuan, no matter what you hear or see in the future, my feelings for you are true, I can't guarantee that you are the only one around, but I will only have you in my heart." ”
I laughed silently, my heart aching. It's a reality I can't change, and since I love him, I have to accept it.
From that day on, I changed from Shen Yu's minion to King Xiaoyao's personal guard again. During the day, we would read together in the study, and sometimes he would teach me to write, and sometimes he would paint for me. Every time I wanted to see myself in the painting, he always blocked me, and said that now was not the time to show me, so angry that I would splash him with ink every time, but he was not splashed much, but he became a flower cat.
At night, we would cuddle and sleep, I was used to him being around me, and if he suddenly disappeared, I thought I would have lost sleep.
The people in the house seemed to have known that I would return, and they were not much surprised, and treated me as usual, and got along with me very well.
Because I have already found Sisi, and I think that Shen Yu is not here recently, Sisi will definitely be bored in the palace, so whenever King Xiaoyao wants to enter the palace, I will beg him with a dead face and let him take me to the palace with him. Every time I enter the palace, I will sneak to the Huayue Hall to find Sisi.
Later, I was annoyed by my begging, he actually took the initiative to hand over the token to me, and sent someone to protect my safety, this time I entered the palace more often, and also made him eat Sisi's vinegar, saying that I snubbed him.
And Sisi also told me about her experience of entering the palace, I only knew that after she crossed here, she was almost sold into the Qinglou, if it wasn't for Shen Yu to save her in time, she wouldn't have lived until now, it seems that the fate between the two has long been doomed, I am happy for her in my heart.
It's just that since Concubine Xian's birthday, the emperor has never come to Huayue Palace, and everyone in the palace is talking about Wanheng, who has been promoted to Concubine Wan, and they only speak coldly to them.
Even though I had only been in contact with Concubine Xian for a few days, I could see that she was a woman who had no quarrel with the world, and that she didn't seem to love the emperor very much, which was not a bad thing for her. Seeing Sisi so anxious for Concubine Xian, I didn't have much to say, so I could only tell Sisi to accompany Concubine Xian more and take care of her.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, maybe it was Concubine Xian's blessing, and the news of her violent death suddenly came from the palace. I remember that day, when the eunuch in the palace read the news of Concubine Xian's departure to the west, the face of King Xiaoyao was pale, and he left everyone and went to the palace before the eunuch could finish reading.
I think he must love Concubine Xian very much, otherwise how could there be such a strong sorrow? I now finally understand why Concubine Xian's eyes were full of envy when she looked at me that day, just because I could be by her beloved every day, which was a luxury she longed for all her life.
When I came back in the evening, I saw a deep sadness in his eyes, and I wanted to comfort him, but I didn't know how to say it. He sat expressionlessly in the study for three whole days, not allowing anyone to come near except me, and finally vomited a mouthful of blood.
This incident naturally alarmed the emperor who was far away in the palace, and after a while, he heard the eunuch's shrill voice shouting: "The emperor has arrived." ”
Everyone knelt down to greet them. I saw a bright yellow figure running hurriedly, kneeling directly in front of the bed and calling anxiously: "Brother Ling... Brother Ling..."
I wanted to go up and tell him that King Xiaoyao had just taken the medicine and went to sleep, and someone had stopped me and drove out a room of people, leaving only the two of them in the house.
Throughout the night, the Ling Mo Pavilion was heavily guarded, and no one could enter. Although I had heard the Imperial Doctor say that he was just in a hurry and would recover after taking a few pairs of medicines, I still couldn't help but worry in my heart.
After several more days, the emperor still had no intention of leaving. At this time, it was exactly the seventh day since Concubine Xian's death, and I heard that the emperor should go to the tomb of Concubine Xian today to offer incense and worship, but he actually handed over such things to a eunuch, but he accompanied King Xiaoyao in the palace, which was really very unruly.
In the past few days, the guards of Ling Mo Pavilion have been strict, and I thought about sneaking in and taking a look, but no matter what method I used, I couldn't do anything, so I had to plan to act again at night.
I waited until it was completely dark, and I watched the guards at the gate of the courtyard relax their mental state. I crept closer, and as they yawned, I quickly flashed into the courtyard, and using the cover of the vegetation in the courtyard, I slowly approached the dark room, and then jumped onto the roof.
I leaned over and walked cautiously in the middle of the roof, leaning on it and lifting a brick and listening.
I felt strange as the sound of gasps came faintly from the darkness, and when I looked down, there was a deep and invisible darkness everywhere in front of me.
I looked at it for a while, and my eyes adjusted slightly. In the darkness I saw two men hugging each other intimately, their long inky hair entangled with each other, and by the light that was not too bright, I actually saw the flush on the face of the man opposite, and then looked closely, that person was actually the King of Freedom!
Although he had always known that the emperor's feelings for him were not ordinary, he never thought that they would have such a bold act. In our time, this kind of thing is not uncommon, and I am used to it.
But now that this is happening to people related to me, it is inevitable that I will still feel shocked and embarrassed. I quietly re-covered the tiles and stroked my chest with my hand, the picture of the spring palace still lingered in front of me, so frightened that I was unsteady, and my feet slipped and rolled off it.
I think that if I really go down, I will be discovered by those guards, and then the emperor will definitely know what he has just done, where will there be a way to live?
I looked anxiously to the left and right, and kept waving my hands to the side, trying to grab something to make me stop.
At this moment, a dark shadow passed in front of my eyes, and then my body was already propped up, and another whirlwind flew into the distance by him.
When I landed safely, I realized that the person who rescued me was actually a masked man I hadn't seen for a long time. Under the moonlight, he was cold, with a cold voice, and asked me, "What were you doing just now?" ”
"No... It's nothing~" Of course, I couldn't tell him such exciting news, and asked, "Why are you there?" "I guess I came here to take a peek.
