Chapter 27:
"Say! Who the hell are you? "Someone stopped me in front of me, and then I saw his face clearly, it turned out that he was not Han Xiao, but an old man. Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Fa
The eyebrows and eyes are still the same, but the temperament is better than before. Years of training have made him age a lot, and he has grown a short beard on his lips.
I didn't say a word, and looked at him for a long time before I spoke: "Don't you think it's very inappropriate for Lord Shen to be in the bedroom of a concubine so late?" ”
Shen Yu was stunned: "Your voice!" Then he frowned and said, "How do you know my identity?" ”
I focused my eyes on a piece of purple jade around his waist, and it seemed that he had finally found the jade pendant, and it seemed that he still admitted this lost family relationship, so that I could not let him know that Ye Yao was in the palace at this time.
"Does the prince want to send me to the emperor?" I asked with a smile as I continued to divert the conversation.
"Do you think this king won't?" After speaking, his wrist had been grabbed by him, but he didn't make a move.
"Shen Yu, do you really want to send me to the emperor?" I asked again, and now he was even more shocked, and I don't think he would be unfamiliar with such a familiar tone. When I was stunned, I shook off his hand, blessed him, and said, "The night is heavy, the prince should go back and rest early." With that, he walked around his body and strode forward.
It's a risky move, and I don't know if he'll actually recognize me, but if I don't, I'm afraid it's going to be hard to get out tonight. Even if he did recognize me, with the way I look now, he wouldn't believe me, and it seems that I would try to meet him as little as possible in the future.
After a night of tossing, when I returned to the Jinchen Palace, the sky was already slightly white. Tired all night, I sat on the soft couch, and I didn't understand why I felt tired because I was a walking corpse.
Ye Yao always stood in front of me like a puppet, not crying, not making trouble, and not talking, I stroked her shoulder, and said to Han Xiao who was standing on the other side: "No one knows about me going out last night, right?" ”
Han Xiao shook his head. I sighed lightly, stepped off the soft couch to the bookcase, and wrote four words: It's done. Then folded the note and handed it to Han Xiao: "Help me give this note to the queen." ”
Han Xiao glanced at the note and said, "The queen has an enmity with you, why do you still help her so much?" ”
I glanced at her: "You think the queen is so easy to deal with?" Whoever sits in that seat, which one is clean! The reason why I did this was because I wanted her to know that I was the only one who could help her in this house, and that only by winning her trust would I let go of her scruples about me. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Fa" What's more, the situation in the palace is unclear now, even if Concubine Juan is crazy, Xiao Ziling still loves her very much, for a powerless me, I have to tie her up to the big tree. Okay, don't bother with this, you can't help me hand it over to her, remember, don't let anyone see it! I waved at her, signaling that I didn't want to see her anymore.
Han Xiao didn't continue, she turned around and left the house. I straightened up, looked at the empty doorway, and hooked the corners of my mouth.
After that, the development of things was as I expected, Concubine Juan's madness not only became more serious, but also made witchcraft in the palace, which is an extremely bad thing, no matter how Xiao Ziling wanted to cover it up, but under the pressure of the queen and the ministers of the previous dynasty, she finally made the will to abolish the concubine, these are all things that the queen sent to tell me, I think she should be extremely proud now, because in this way, no one in the palace can endanger her position.
When I knew these things, I was playing chess with Ye Yao. Even though she's just a puppet now, I'm still willing to teach her a lot of things, and I hope she can turn back into a normal person, a normal woman who can laugh and talk.
I replied softly, and told the person to stand down. Han Xiao also walked in from outside, and she told me that on the day Concubine Juan was beaten into the cold palace, she hanged herself in the cold palace.
I paused my hand, then dropped the chess pieces in my hand on the chessboard, and looked up at her: "What does that have to do with me?" ”
Han Xiao also paused, she glanced at Ye Yao, who was sitting next to her, and said, "Because someone pointed out that you were the murderer of Concubine Wan." ”
I hummed, and seeing that she was still standing, I asked impatiently, "Is there anything else?" ”
"You're not worried at all?" When Han Xiao saw my leisurely and complacent appearance, she asked a little nervously.
"With you, what am I worried about?" I withdrew my gaze and continued to teach the night to come.
Later, Han Xiao didn't know when he left, and by the time I finally lost my interest in playing chess, it was already completely dark. I saw that Ye Yao was already listlessly drooping his head, so I ordered someone to pass the dinner, and when I was about to eat, I heard a noise outside, and then the door curtain was opened violently, and Xiao Ziling, who was dressed in bright yellow, had already walked in.
I could see that he was in a very bad mood. I slowly got down from the soft couch, leaned over and bowed my head: "The concubine sees the emperor, the emperor is ten thousand..."
"Slut!" His feet slammed on my waist, and I lay on the ground and let him insult me, until he had enough of scolding, and then I looked back at him and smiled.
"The emperor has been scolding for so long, but do you need to drink saliva and rest?"
"Slut! Now it's time for you to get your wish! Xiao Ziling glared at me viciously, his extremely long fingers pinched his chin, as if he wanted to crush my whole face.
I looked at him faintly and didn't speak. Xiao Ziling pushed me to the ground again in a fit of rage, he stood up and sat on the soft couch, and said sharply, "Don't you have anything to say to me?" ”
"What does the emperor want his concubines to say?" I slowly got up, straightened my waist and knelt on the ground, staring at the bright yellow boots: "In the emperor's heart, didn't he think that the concubine was a murderer for a long time." As long as the emperor says a word, he can avenge the concubine. ”
"That's how you want to die?" There was a hint of surprise in Xiao Ziling's voice, and he stabilized his emotions and continued: "The queen has repeatedly assured me that this matter has nothing to do with you, but now I look at your attitude and feel that you can't get out of it!" Say, "Who should I believe?" ”
"If the concubine says that the concubine doesn't know anything from beginning to end, does the emperor believe it?" I raised my gaze again, looking at all the relief on his angry face, and gradually understood that Shen Yu didn't tell him about seeing me that night, and his tone became even harder: "The emperor should understand that there are many people in this harem who are not used to seeing concubines, and it is too arbitrary for the emperor to conclude that it was the concubine who did it based on just one side." ”
"Are you teaching me a lesson?" It turned out that some of his dissipated anger seemed to be aroused again, I shook my head and said: "Your Majesty, you never thought that in this harem, although the concubines are cousins with the queen, if it is true, the background of the concubines must be inferior to one person, and if the emperor really punishes the concubines, that person will definitely be very proud." With that, I fixed my gaze between his eyes.
I didn't think too much about it when I said this, I just wanted to wash my suspicions away, and the person in my mouth was not a specific person, it was just a pretext for me, but what I didn't expect was that Xiao Ziling actually listened to my words, he sent someone to check the harem, and found some cursed notes in Concubine Ying's bedroom, although it was not too heavy compared to the witchcraft technique, but it really made Xiao Ziling very annoyed for a while, threatening to abolish her, But in the end, it ended in a month's confinement.
The result of this matter also made the queen complain in front of me for many days, and I responded with a light smile. With the influence of this incident, the queen trusted me more and more, and at the same time, my prestige in the harem gradually increased. Originally, the palace people who only knew that they were concubines would greet me with a smile when they saw me, and of course Han Xiao was the happiest in this matter, she thought that I would be able to get the bracelet back soon, but the truth was not so simple.
Xiao Ziling naturally didn't pursue my disrespect for him that day, and he still came over to listen to me sing every day after the next court. And I never saw me Shen Yu in the palace again, which also reassured me.
The weather changed from early winter to midwinter. Within a few days, it was already snowing. The cold wind blows, gently blowing the snow particles on the ground, bringing up bursts of snow waves. The floor tiles in the vicinity have been cleaned by the palace people to reveal the gray and blue color, and the courtyard is quiet only with the sound of "brushing" brought out by the broom.
Ye Yao sat on the chair holding the stove in a daze, I sat on the bookcase and flipped through the already somewhat worn books, put them down boringly, walked to the door and lifted the curtain, and stepped outside the threshold in one step.
The ground that had just been cleaned by the palace people had some thin hoarfrost. I raised my hand slightly, and immediately white snowflakes drifted into my palm, and I didn't see it melt after a while.
I put my hand down, walked over to the dead branch and grabbed a handful of snow, and suddenly I was interested in piling people.
I remember that I used to pile snow in the palace, when Sisi was still there, although she didn't like winter very much, but she loved to build snowmen, every time it snowed, she would always complain about the cold weather, and at the same time couldn't help but reach out to grab the snow. I remember one time when she lost track of time because she had been playing for too long, and when she came home, she had a high fever and was scolded by her father.
I still remember that we were very happy at that time, and the kind eyebrows and soft eyes have left lingering traces in my memory.
Between the memories, the hands have already begun to move. In just a few moments, several robot cats with a decent appearance were already in front of them. This is not the first time I have pinched a robot cat, so I am not unfamiliar with it, but it is still a little strange.
I looked at the robot cats that I had pinched and messed up, hooked my lips and smiled, and raised my hand to destroy them, but the moment I raised my hand, someone grabbed my wrist from behind.
