I didn't make it after all.

Concubine De cried and kept me, she said that she had no friends in this palace except me, so she hoped that I could stay with her.

The queen also very strangely asked me to stay, and she said that she wanted me to accompany her to see the scene.

I don't know what else to watch, but the queen didn't agree, and I didn't want to see that person, so the matter of leaving the palace was put on hold for the time being.

It took me five years to stay, and I was already an old girl.

I think this year, I have to leave the palace no matter what, otherwise my life will be in vain.

But at this time, Concubine De was pregnant again. I...... I relented again.

I was afraid that someone would kill Concubine De a few years ago, so after thinking about it all night, I decided to wait for her to give birth to this child before leaving.

It's just that Concubine De seems a little strange, she has become more and more sad these days, and she sits in front of the window every day and cries.

I asked her why, but she never told me.

She lived with the prince in the East Palace, and saw her mother less and less, only when she came back every day, she would smile a little, and then put on the appearance of a strict mother, and asked him to go to the East Palace to accompany the prince to review his homework.

It was her meaning that she accompanied the prince, and she said that she was pregnant with a child and it was inconvenient to take care of her.

It's all weird, but I can't tell what's weird.

When Concubine De's fetus was three months old, one day, she suddenly saw me alone, and that day she swept away the sadness of the past, with a faint smile on her face, and said to me: "Ah Zi, don't you want to leave the palace?" I have already told the emperor that I can release you from the palace today. ”

I felt a pain in my heart without warning, and although I had been deliberately ignoring that man, and I had been acting cold-blooded and ruthless towards him, I always felt that he still had affection for me.

I also secretly hoped that if one day he apologized to me, I would forgive him, but ...... He actually allowed me to leave the palace.

Me and him, it's really over.

Concubine De was very happy, took out a small box, handed it to me, and said: "After so many years in the palace, you are my best friend, and I also remember that you protect our mother and son." I have nothing to give you, these are all I brought from Wu Country, they are worthless, leave you a thought. ”

I took a deep breath, even if I finished with the emperor, I still have to protect Concubine De.

I took the box and said, "I'd better wait for you to finish giving birth, and then I'll leave." ”

"No need." She smiled unabated, "You go now, right away." ”

I was puzzled: "Why are you in such a hurry?" Are you hiding something from me? ”

She shook her head, stroked her lower abdomen and smiled: "No, it's because the king sent someone from Wu to take care of me again, and I don't have a shortage of manpower here, so it's not good to delay you any longer." Rest assured, they are trustworthy people who will definitely take care of me. ”

If that's the case, I don't seem to have any reason to stay any longer.

But things are really weird.

Concubine De said that she had already told His Majesty, but why couldn't she let me leave the palace openly, but left me until the night and quietly sent me out of the palace?

I don't understand, but Concubine De is already urging, and while holding my arm and walking out, she said, "You move quickly, the carriage is already waiting outside." ”

I sighed deeply, forget it, since I already plan to leave, then don't think too much about everything in this palace.

Before Concubine De and I reached the gate of the palace, I suddenly heard a sound of footsteps behind me, Concubine De held her waist with one hand, couldn't help but speed up her steps, and muttered: "Hurry up......

By this moment, I almost already knew what was going on, it must be that the emperor did not let me leave, and she asked me to leave.

She was still pregnant, and I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to stand it, so I said, "Concubine De can send it here, I'll leave the palace alone." ”

Concubine De hesitated for a moment, probably thinking that it would indeed be faster for me to leave the palace alone, so she nodded and said, "I've taken care of all the way, and after you leave, don't come back." ”

I nodded in response, didn't say anything more to her, and quickened my pace towards the palace gate.

Just as I was about to flee from here, an arrow flew almost past the tip of my nose.

I was startled, took two steps back, and fell to the ground.

The guards who were chasing me and Concubine De caught up with me, and the guard led by me said, "Chu Shangyi, the emperor announced that you will go to the imperial study to meet you, let's go, don't embarrass us." ”
