Chapter 35: Uneasy, Refusal to Rebel
Concubine Yu bowed her head.
I rubbed the palm of my left hand with the pads of my right thumb so that I could feel a little warmer.
"Not only that, for so many years, how many concubines and how many children in the harem have disappeared so inexplicably. This palace can only try its best to save its own children, and try its best to save one, just like your ten emperor brothers. ”
"Ten Emperor Brothers? Wasn't he raised under the queen's knees? "I don't understand.
"Where is it as simple as you see? The mother of your tenth emperor brother is humble, just a palace maid, after being fortunate by the emperor, she was canonized as a beauty, in order not to let the queen find out that she was pregnant with a dragon child, the palace taught her Bai Juan to wrap her belly, but she was still born prematurely when she was pregnant in seven months, and she died by herself. Your tenth emperor brother is congenitally deficient, and he has been criticized since he was a child, he is not a long-lived appearance, and he will not live to be 20 years old. Sure enough, Hua'er has always been weak, and he suffers from wheezing, and he has been taking medicine every day, so His Majesty asked the queen to raise Hua'er personally. ”
After I listened, I pity the Ten Princes, asthma is asthma, but because Yun Jihua is in the queen's palace, I have never been close to him, and I have rarely cared about him, I always avoid him, I can't think of it, he is also a poor person.
Concubine Yu pulled me to the couch and whispered: "Yi'er, this palace is isolated in this palace, it is really helpless, your eighth emperor sister and ninth emperor sister are still so young, if there is anything unexpected in this palace in the future!" You must help Hongu protect the two of them! ”
Shall I help you? I don't even know if I'll survive.
I shook my head and said, "...... Yi'er will try to protect her two younger sisters, but Yi'er is incompetent and can't do anything more......"
"Yi'er! You are a phoenix! Anything is yours as long as you want. Concubine Yu squatted down, wiped away her tears for me, stared at me with burning eyes, and said, "Yi'er, you have to believe in yourself, the palace will help you, your fourth emperor brother will also support you behind your back, and the Duke of Qi, you also want to keep them, right?" ”
You see, after playing the emotional card for so long, I finally got to the point, the fourth prince wants to ask me to betray the prince and do things for him. If the four princes fail to assassinate them in the hunting ground, they will use counter-plots.
"No, my cousin will be the princess soon, and the prince's brother won't hurt my grandfather." I shook my head and shed a few fox tears, if I believed Concubine Yu's words, I wouldn't be the same as being a pawn of the Four Princes, and the situation would not be better than now.
"Yi'er!" Concubine Yu grabbed my arm and didn't tell me to back down, she said, "You don't want to avenge your mother?" ”
See! She finally irritated me with it. If I were really Yunyi, I would definitely avenge the first queen, but I wasn't. I pretended to be a ghost to scare the queen, it was reckless for a while, I overestimated my strength and took a wrong step.
Whether it is the prince or the four princes, they all want to use me as a tool to sell, and from the current point of view, tearing my face with the prince is harmful to me.
I bit my lip and looked at Concubine Yu, and I replied, "If you take revenge, more people will die, what's the point?"
"Alas! Yi'er, you are so compassionate and heartfelt......" Concubine Yu's voice trembled violently, and she put down her hand in a dejected manner.
She said, "You can't keep your dearest!" Someday, you'll regret it. ”
I stepped back, shook my head constantly, and turned my head to run out.
I can't even save myself! What to talk about others!
I have to get out of here, Concubine Yu is so excited, how true she said and how much is false remains to be verified. If the queen really did so many bad things, this is not a palace fighting drama with a love brain, and the emperor is not a fool, it is impossible for him not to notice it, and if the emperor does not attack, does it mean that he has made concessions and acquiescences in order to check and balance the government?
As the "old fox" said that day, my little snake is not yet hot. But he was wrong, and when I grew up, I wasn't going to eat the people who raised me. I don't want revenge, but I need to grow my strength quickly, and I want to leave the palace and leave Yunjihan.
I don't want to take the road of harmony, I will die of this rotten skin, and I will also rip it off from me! That's what I want to do now.
Thinking too far and running too fast, I stumbled and fell to the ground. This body is really useless, it can fall on the ground!
"Master, be careful!" Chunhua and Qingluan behind me spoke in unison, and hurriedly helped me up, I covered my hot knees, holding a fire in my heart inexplicably, and I wanted to vent it immediately.
"Don't touch me!"
I slowly got up against the wall and limped forward.
"Master, please get on the sedan chair."
"No!" I called out to Chunhua.
"Then the slave maid will call you a doctor!"
"No!" I yelled again.
"I'm fine! Don't follow. I shook my sore arm and said to Chunhua, "Don't talk much!" Dare to tell the prince, cut your tongue! ”
It was the first time that Chunhua was threatened by me like this, knelt on the ground, and begged for mercy: "The slave knows her mistake!" The slaves and maids will never talk much, and the slaves and maids will leave. ”
After speaking, Chunhua pulled Qingluan away.
I walked silently in pain, with a black face all the way, and I really wanted to fly out of this nasty palace right now. But this is unrealistic, with my current ability, even if I run out of the palace, I will be arrested, and it will be light for Yun Jihan to lock me up at that time. I walked aimlessly but by a ghost to a secluded palace with a plaque covered with dust, and three large gilded characters on it: Fengyi Palace.
Fengyi Palace, the palace of the former queen, is now just a dilapidated Xiao Qiang.
The rain line falls on the face, is the April day so fickle? I stepped up the steps and pushed open the long-closed door. There was no palace guard here, and it was raining heavily, so I walked along the corridor, watching the dance of the rain in the small pond in the courtyard, and looking at the road with the remnants of last year's dead leaves. The door of the main hall was not locked, I easily walked in, a strong smell of dust came to my nose, I covered my nose and looked around at the magnificence that appeared under the dust, and the slight fragrance emanating from the pepper wall.
Tearing off a cobweb, I walked into the dormitory inside, and stayed in the doorway. The small cradle stood at the head of the bed, there was a small quilt in it, the pink gauze curtain on it had not yet faded, the bedding on the bed was neatly spread, and on the bright yellow curtain, there were rusty bells, I approached and touched the cradle, the cradle shook gently, and a cyan corner was revealed under the small pillow, I pulled it out, it turned out to be a handkerchief.
The handkerchief is embroidered with a sika deer, the stitches are fine, the embroidery is exquisite, lifelike, and the corner of the handkerchief is also embroidered with a line of small characters: "The phoenix swims on the phoenix platform, and the phoenix goes to the Taikong River to artesian."
This poem seems to have been heard somewhere.
