Chapter 122: Stabbing
This night, Hua Mian stayed awake in the middle of the night, and Zhong Cui Palace stayed awake all night.
Every time Pei Gongcuo came to Zhongcui Palace, he first played tea with Pin'er, and then slept in separate beds. However, this time, Pei Gongcuo was about to get up and rest, but Pin'er suddenly hugged him tightly from behind.
Pei Gongcuo was stunned for a moment, broke her hand, turned to look at her and said, "I said that I won't touch you." If you still want to stay in the palace, we will get along like gentlemen. β
Pin'er smiled sadly: "Doesn't the emperor think he's too cruel?" β
Pei Gongcuo's face suddenly showed impatience: "How many times do you want to say it?" It was true that I did not do it right at the beginning, but it has come to this point, and I can only do this. I let you out of the palace and you didn't want to, but now I blame me for being cruel. β
Pin'er suddenly smiled coldly, raised her arm, slammed her fist into Pei Gongcuo's chest, gritted her teeth and said, "The emperor actually mentioned 'originally' to Pin'er?" β
Pei Gongcuo snorted and looked down at the fist she landed on his chest. At some point, she held a golden hairpin in her palm, which was inserted directly into her heart at this moment, and there were traces of blood gushing out from the wound.
Looking at the blood gushing from his chest, Pin'er let go of her hand as if frightened.
Pei Gongcuo raised his eyes to look at Pin'er, but saw that there was distress and panic in her eyes, but more hatred. At this moment, feeling her surging hatred, he couldn't bear the slightest resentment towards her, and endured the pain and said, "Is Pin'er so hateful? β
Pin'er was already in tears: "Yes! You killed Li Sheng by any means in order to get Pin'er, but you abandoned Pin'er after you got your wish. So, I can't wait for you to die! Only in this way can I comfort Li Sheng's spirit in the sky, and can I also relieve the hatred in my heart. At this moment, she couldn't tell whether she was avenging Li Sheng or taking revenge for what she asked for.
Pei Gongcuo's forehead gradually oozed fine cold sweat, and he covered his chest in pain: "Pin'er actually wants me to die?" β
Pin'er burst into tears and said, "I will go down to accompany you immediately after you die." At least at this point, the Burmese concubine may not be able to do it. β
Pei Gongcuo smiled bitterly: "Why do you think that it was Li Sheng who I killed?" β
"If you don't want anyone to know, you can't do it unless you do. I overheard the two little eunuchs say that it was you who made Li Sheng's food eat with grass that matched his illness and caused him to die in the end. β
When Pei Gongcuo heard this, his eyes suddenly showed a gloomy color, and he couldn't imagine that someone was so desperate that he actually stretched out his hand to his harem.
"You've been fooled. I didn't do it. Those two are likely to be Pei Qijun's meticulous work in the palace. His purpose may have been for today. β
Pin'er looked at Pei Gongcuo in disbelief, how is this possible?
Pei Gongcuo laughed at himself: "If I die because of this, I will cry." β
Pin'er was still in shock, and listened to Pei Gongcuo say: "Maybe Li Sheng's death was his handiwork." β
A word woke up the person in the dream, and the more Pin'er thought about it, the more she felt that this possibility was very great. She looked at Pei Gongcuo in a panic and muttered, "What should I do? Now I am an executioner who murders the emperor. β
She was dazed and wanted to pull out the hairpin inserted in Pei Gongcuo's chest, but Pei Gongcuo waved her hand to block it. He glared at her and said, "What are you doing?" β
Pin'er couldn't cry: "The emperor can rest assured, Pin'er will do what he says, Pin'er will not let the emperor leave alone, Pin'er will accompany the emperor on the road." β
Pei Gongcuo was angry, spurted out a mouthful of blood with a "poof", and then forced a breath and said, "Go and call Fu Xin in." β
Pin'er realized that Pei Gongcuo might still be saved, so she rushed out of the door in a hurry and called Fu Xin.
The scene in front of him shocked Fu Xin a lot, he hurriedly rushed over, and held Pei Gongcuo, who was falling to the ground, and when he saw his injuries clearly, his eyes turned red, and he wanted to cut Pin'er with a thousand knives.
He said with tears in his eyes: "If the emperor insists a little longer, the slave will go to ask for a doctor." β
Pei Gongcuo grabbed his arm and said, "Don't alarm others about this matter, otherwise Pin'er will not escape the death penalty." Just quietly invite Imperial Doctor Zhang. β
At this time, the emperor still took care of the executioner, and although he was annoyed, he still obediently did what he wanted.
Pin'er couldn't tell whether it was pain or regret at the moment, she looked at this man who loved and hated so much, and now became pale and fragile because of his impulsiveness, and his life seemed to be lost at any time, and she was afraid for a while, but before the arrival of the imperial doctor, she was helpless, and could only silently pray that he was safe.
This night, Pei Gongcuo has been in a coma. His injuries were not light, the wound was only half an inch away from his heart, about an inch deep, and it took Imperial Doctor Zhang a night of work to stabilize his injuries.
However, when it came to the last dynasty, he still showed no signs of waking up, and he was so anxious that Fu Xin was in a hurry.
The emperor has always been diligent in government, and there has never been a situation where he did not go to court early for no reason. In the end, Fu Xin weighed the pros and cons, and felt that if Pin'er had to bear a crime after all, it would be better to let her be a fox who charmed the king and didn't come to court.
So, he stubbornly claimed in the court that the emperor had overslept in Zhongcui Palace today, and let the courtiers leave a fold and disperse on their own.
As soon as these words came out, the whole dynasty was boiling. is all a criticism of the nobles who don't know the general situation, and the emperor is too ignorant of moderation, so that Foxit is a good student to admonish clichΓ©s such as points. Some people even compare the Burmese concubine with the noble person, saying that they are both favorite concubines, and the Burmese concubine is much more sensible.
Fu Xin nodded and accepted it all and promised not to make an example, before sending the group of old guys away.
When the news of the emperor's failure to go to court reached Shuihua Palace, Hua Mian had just woken up from a nightmare. She looked at the tear-soaked pillow, and suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart, so she dressed and stayed to freshen up and went straight to the Heart Cultivation Palace.
When he arrived at the Palace of Cultivating the Heart, there was a little eunuch who wanted to pass it on, and Hua Mian hurriedly stopped it. However, when she entered the hall, she couldn't help but be stunned. I saw Pei Gongcuo holding a cup of tea in his hand and sipping it in the rattan chair under the porch, his eyes were far away, as if he was thinking about something, and he seemed to be just in a daze. Although he avoided the strong sunlight, his face was still abnormally pale, as if he had just been seriously ill.
Hua Mian's heart tightened, he was fine when he left Shuihua Palace yesterday, how could he become so haggard overnight? Didn't it happen last night in the Zhongcui Palace?
She hurried forward, crouched down in front of him, and looked up at him.
It was only then that Pei Gongcuo came back to his senses and looked at her, he was stunned for a moment, and then hooked his lips and smiled: "What kind of wind is blowing today?" It's really rare for Myanmar to take the initiative to come to see me. β
Hua Mian's eyes seemed to be filled with spring sunshine, and she looked at him warmly and said, "The emperor didn't go to the court today, is he sick?" β
Pei Gongcuo's eyes were soft and rippling, and then a smile gradually appeared: "I am very pleased to be able to get the attention of Myanmar." β
"Don't beat around the bush, say it quickly!"
Pei Gongcuo pulled Hua Mian into his arms, kissed her on the cheek and said, "I'm really happy today." β
Hua Mian was anxious, broke out of his arms, and was about to open his mouth to reprimand him, but saw him suddenly frowning, and beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, he was shocked, and said in a panic: "Are you injured?" Did I just touch your wound? She reached out to untie his shirt, but he grabbed him by the wrist.
He stared at her deeply and whispered, "Don't make a noise about this. β
Hua Mian also lowered her voice and said anxiously: "Let me see, where is the injury?" β
He placed her hand on his heart: "Here." When the words fell, seeing her discoloration, he hooked the corners of his lips with satisfaction.
Hua Mian said angrily: "You can still laugh? β
Pei Gongcuo smiled unabated: "It's a little off, otherwise Myanmar won't be able to see me today." β
Hua Mian said hatefully: "Retribution! You are retribution! β
Pei Gongcuo said approvingly: "I think so too. β
Hua Mian finally couldn't bear to be harsh, and she said worriedly: "What are you going to do now?" Do you still keep Pin'er in the palace? β
Pei Gongcuo sighed and said, "She said that she will slowly atone for her sins, and she will leave after atoning for her sins." β
"Having said that, I think it's better for the emperor to stay away from her."
Pei Gongcuo pulled Hua Mian into his arms again, put his ear to her and said, "I can't wait to stay away from all those women in the harem, and I only stick to you every day." But if that were the case, then this emperor of mine would have done it. β
Hua Mian raised his eyebrows and said, "Since you have so no freedom to be the emperor, why do you still want to be it?" β
Pei Gongcuo thought for a while and said, "This question is really difficult to answer. At first, I did value power, thinking that by becoming an emperor, I could get everything I wanted, including the woman I fancied. As a result, I got my wish, but I was not happy. Now the only fetters are the responsibilities of an emperor. However, I feel that if I can be in love with Myanmar to the end, even if I exchange the throne, it will be worth it. β
Hua Mian had to admit that she was moved by Pei Gongcuo again. However, these words made her feel a sense of dΓ©jΓ vu. Ji Yunye once told her that there is nothing more important than her in this world, and he will not give up her for anything.
In the face of time, no matter how sincere the oath is, it will eventually surrender. If you take it too seriously, you will only be hurt.
Hua Mian smiled slightly, and said to Pei Gongcuo: "The emperor spent so much effort to sit in this position, how can he say that he will give up?" Mian'er thinks that she is just an ordinary woman, and she is not worthy of such treatment by the emperor. Thousands of thy people need thee more than Burma. β
Pei Gongcuo pressed her into his arms, and then rubbed her hair messily: "If I say it's worth it, it's worth it!" β
Hua Mian raised her head and said sadly: "Why does the emperor always like to rub the hair of his concubines? Every time I make a mess of it. β
"Don't you like it?" Pei Gongcuo pondered, "Or, will I pinch your nose in the future?" β
Hua Mian was stunned for a moment, pinching her nose seemed to be Ji Yunye's habit, so forget it, so she resigned herself and said, "You still rub my hair." β
Pei Gongcuo straightened her messy hair, and said with a smile in his eyes: "Why don't you let me pinch your nose?" β
Hua Mian's eyes rolled, and she said in a flash: "My nose is so delicate, what should I do if you pinch it ugly?" β
Her weak heart made Pei Gongcuo's mood as bright as this sunshine, and even the smile in her eyes came out. She finally stopped talking about Ji Yunye with confidence, this is really a huge progress.
