Ruotang was naturally obligated to pat his chest and promised: "Niangniang, don't worry, I will tell the prince that you had to leave him back then, and you regret it now." Just, you know. Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, the prince is there, I'm afraid it will take some time to let go, you ...... Don't be in too much of a hurry. ”

"As long as the emperor can forgive me, I will wait as long as I want." Concubine Shu said with tears in her eyes, looking like she regretted not being remorseful at the beginning.

Ruotang was relieved again, and while the ninth princess hadn't come back yet, she couldn't help but ask: "Niangniang, there is a question, I don't know if you can ask?" ”

"It's okay, good boy, what do you want to ask?" Concubine Shugui's red and swollen face still had crystal teardrops. smiled encouragingly at Ruotang.

This woman. It is really 360 degrees of beauty without dead ends - even if the delicate face is red and swollen at this time, not only does it not make people feel ugly and disgusting, but it also renders the original Chu Chu pity more vividly.

It's a monster-like character.

Ruotang thought about it and asked cautiously, "Back then, why did you ...... Will you be pregnant with the prince and enter the harem of the Chu Emperor? ”

Concubine Shu was slightly stunned.

Ruotang hurriedly said, "If you don't want to say it." Poop ......"

"Nothing." Concubine Shu smiled bitterly, held Ruotang's hand, and her tone was slightly tired and desolate, "In the eyes of outsiders, in my life, I am honored and favored, rich and glorious, and I seem to be extremely noble in the world, but outsiders, how can I know the bitterness in my heart." Back then, when His Majesty was still the crown prince, I was fortunate to be admitted to the prince's mansion by him. Awarded the title of crown prince's side concubine. Your Majesty naturally treats me with deep affection, even surpassing the queen mother who was still the crown princess at the time. I thought it was the happiest and fastest day of my life......"

Listening to Concubine Shu's tone, could it be that she was also pure and virtuous back then?

"At that time, the Kingdom of Lu did not have such a scale, and it was only a small country attached to Great Chu. That year, the prince of Da Chu came to visit - at that time we all thought it was the prince, but where would we have thought that he was actually the emperor of Da Chu. He pretended to be the prince and came to visit the kingdom of Liu, and the lord of the country at that time asked the prince to receive and accompany him. I don't know where Emperor Chu heard the news, he actually heard about me, one day, he actually proposed to the prince that the prince should bring the ladies of the palace when he held a banquet, but the prince didn't think much about it. Because at that time, Emperor Chu also had his inner family around him. ”

Ruotang looked at her eyes carefully, and when Concubine Shu said this, there was clearly irrepressible grief and anger in her eyes. What she said may be true.

On that day, the prince accompanied the Emperor Chu and led the ladies of the palace to the palace to play. At the banquet, I found that Emperor Chu looked at me very differently, and I was very scared in my heart, and I just wanted to avoid ...... However, although I avoided it at that time, I still couldn't avoid my miserable fate......" Concubine Shugui's fingers unconsciously forced, and the handkerchief in her hand was tightly twisted and deformed.

Ruotang pretended to comfort her: "Niangniang, if you are really sad, don't say it." ”

"It's fine." Concubine Shu replied lightly, "After so many years, I can't forget the shame and betrayal of the year. ”

She paused for a moment before she continued: "That night, the prince came to my room, and I was about to tell him with joy that I had his flesh and blood in my womb, but he spoke first. He was very painful and apologized to me and said to me that the Emperor of Chu had taken a fancy to me and wanted to take me back to Great Chu, and he said that he had promised the Emperor of Chu. I couldn't believe my ears, what was he talking about? He told me the day before that his favorite person was me, but in the blink of an eye, he was going to give me to another man! I cried in fear, I got down on my knees and begged him, I told him that I had my baby with him in my belly......"

Concubine Shu's tone accelerated significantly, and the grief and indignation in her eyes became more and more intense as she spoke, and tears fell silently.

Ruotang noticed her hand, and her hand trembled unconsciously with force.

This shows that this past is very likely to be true, and it is more likely that until now, she has not let go of that past, as well as Bailihuang's decisions and injuries back then!

There is no doubt that in her heart, she hates Bailihuang.

Ruotang tried to think about it, if one day Chu Qianlan wanted to give herself who was pregnant with his child to another man...... I'm afraid that I really want to hate him to the point where life and death are intolerable.

At this time, Concubine Shugui, it seemed that Ruotang could no longer be seen in her eyes, and through her teary eyes, she saw the poor and helpless self who was crawling at the feet of Baili Huang many years ago, begging her not to give her to other men.

"But he told me that if he didn't agree to give me to the Emperor of Chu, then the crown prince of the Kingdom of Lu would have to be replaced by someone else. He told me that if I wanted to be patient for the time being, when he ascended the throne and became the lord of the kingdom of Liu, he would definitely take me and the emperor back. He begged me to understand him, begged me to fulfill him, begged me to wait for him...... Oh, I knew it at that time, he had already made up his mind, even if I was his most beloved, even if I was pregnant with his child in my belly, even if he knew that if I followed Emperor Chu and maybe I would die, he still pushed me out. What can I do? I'm just a powerless woman with no background, how can I really be more important than his status and his country......"

Ruotang was running over happily at this time, and 10,000 grass and mud horses were running over happily.

Sure enough, behind every powerful woman, there is a man who is scum!

No wonder Baili Huang felt guilty about her, it turned out that it was really not only because she stole Concubine Shugui's sister-in-law, but also because of this reason.

The psychopathy behind Concubine Shu is absolutely inseparable from Baili Huang, of course, Emperor Chu is also a big scumbag here!

I can only hate the sins they created by these scum back then, and now it is too unfair to ask her to carry it with Chu Qianlan.

"Mother, don't say it." Ruotang looked unbearable, "If the prince knows this, he will definitely have less resentment against you in his heart." We don't know, Niangniang, it was not easy for you to come to Dachu, and you also suffered a lot later. ”

Concubine Shugui's thoughts seemed to have been pulled back, she was stunned for a while, then she eased up, raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and changed back to the dignified and gentle appearance that the world is familiar with, "Alas, old things, I didn't want to mention it again, but when I saw you, I felt kind for no reason, and I couldn't bear those things in my heart...... When I arrived in Dachu, the situation was even more difficult, and the huge harem was really unaccompanied......"

In addition to trying to please Emperor Chu, in addition to clinging to her tightly, I am afraid that she will have been torn to pieces by the jealous women in the palace. How can they give birth to Bailihuang's child smoothly, let alone protect their mother and son.

In those years, thousands of days and nights, she didn't know how she survived.

At that time, she already understood that men were the most untrustworthy thing in the world.

If it weren't for the fact that the battle in the Empress Chu's palace was too strong, and she was a woman of unknown origin, according to the prosperity of Great Chu back then, it would be impossible for her to choose to return to Liuguo. Because she knew too well that Emperor Chu's calm and rational mind was even more than Bailihuang, no matter how flattering she was, it was impossible for Emperor Chu to make her queen, nor could he make her son the crown prince.

So later, Bailihuang really sent someone to pick her up, and after she weighed it, she chose Bailihuang, who still had old feelings for herself and was ashamed of her affection.

Her return only carries the shame and betrayal, hatred and abandonment of the past few years, even though her appearance is still the same, but she has already changed her heart inside.

There are also pitiful places for hateful people, although Ruotang also thinks that what happened to her in the past is very embarrassing.

But no matter what, she shouldn't ignore their wishes, and drag the innocent her and Chu Qianlan into this game for the sake of her ambition or revenge.

She no longer loves Bailihuang, Chu Huang, and Chu Qianlan, who has Bailihuang blood.

That's why she gave up Chu Qianlan so easily.

At this point, Ruotang doesn't know who to blame.

Concubine Shu seemed to vent, and picked out a few things to Ruotang about the difficulties she had in the Chu State back then, and her speed of speech was still very fast, indicating that when she recalled those things, she was still sad and angry in her heart.

It wasn't until the cheerful voice of the ninth princess chirping sounded outside that Concubine Shu came back to her senses in shock.

Ruotang was silently half-kneeling at her feet, with red eyes and tears, carefully wiping the tears on her face, as if she felt sorry for her.

Concubine Shu was stunned and shook her hand, but she heard that she was sneering in her heart, if she hadn't experienced these people, she would never feel like her.

"Silly boy, why are you crying?"

Ruotang cried with a whimper: "Niangniang, you are so pitiful, too pitiful." Over the years, you have had such a hard time. If I had known, I would have persuaded the prince to come to see you in the kingdom of Liu...... You worked so hard, just to protect the prince, and he still spoke ill of you, which is really undeserved. I will tell him all about you, and I will tell him that you love him in your heart! ”

Concubine Shu smiled with tears in her eyes, "Good boy, I know that you are a kind and lovely good boy." "Upper Yawei garbage.

After saying this, she finally remembered, "You still live in the Third Prince's Mansion now?" yes, I forgot to ask you, you talk to ...... What's the matter with the Three Princes? How did you become his savior, and become an orphan living in his house? ”

Ruotang didn't hide it from her - anyway, she already knew about it, and briefly told me about her abduction by Baili Wenhan, "He told me that if my identity as the princess of Hunan is exposed, the country of Lu will not tolerate me, and I will be executed by the lord of the country, so I have no choice but to accept the identity he fabricated for me and live in his mansion." ”

"If you don't say it, I can see that the Third Highness's thoughts about you are probably not simple." Concubine Shu said lovingly, "Speaking of which, your child's life is really a little like me, but this is not something to be happy about." ”

Ruotang looked at her with a sad face, looking at her with dependence and trust.

Concubine Shu laughed slowly, "Good boy, don't worry, don't be afraid, the concubine will help you." ”

Ruotang's eyes lit up, and he looked at her more and more trustingly.

Concubine Shu rarely stretched out her hand and touched the top of Ruotang's head, like an elder who loves her juniors, "The mother concubine knows that you and the emperor are in love, and the mother concubine will help you find a way." ”

When Ruotang heard this, her heart was determined first, and she said that she would definitely help Shuguifei's mother and son reconcile, so she reciprocated the peach, and Shuguifei naturally had to show her sincerity.

Fortunately, she performed for so long in vain, and she worked hard to concentrate on mobilizing the cells of her whole body, nervously and nervously watching Concubine Shuguifei perform for so long a day, she was really tired.

"Thank you, Mother, you are so good, I really ...... I really don't know how to thank you. Ruotang shed tears of joy.

"Silly child, if you take care of the emperor more carefully in the future, it is the best thank you to the mother concubine."

The two of them went back and forth with gratitude and relief, until the little princess led people into the inner hall with a snack in her hand.

……

Ruotang stayed in the palace of Concubine Shu and had lunch before leaving.

Concubine Shu reluctantly took her hand, "This is leaving?" Let's talk to Hongu again. ”

This is back to "Hongu".

"The old lady said that you have to rest every afternoon, and it's not good that I disturb your rest." Ruotang said in a well-behaved and sensible manner: "If you want to talk to me, I will come to the palace to accompany you." ”

"It's not good for you to run around like this." Concubine Shu groaned, "You live in the mansion of the third prince, he is the prince in the end, and he has already reached adulthood, and it is not easy for this palace to ask him directly." It's just a good boy, you want to be with the emperor in the future, if you still live in the Three Princes' Mansion like this, I'm afraid that Your Majesty will not have a good time in the future. ”

She paused, and looked at Ruotang with affection: "Do you understand the meaning of this palace?" ”

Ruotang nodded, "I understand, don't worry, I will definitely think about moving out of the Third Prince's Mansion as soon as possible." ”

The smile on Concubine Shu's face became thicker and thicker, "You are a smart child, this palace believes that you will be able to handle your own affairs well." ”

This is what it means to loosen her mouth, as long as she handles the matter with Baili Wenhan and the matter between her and Chu Qianlan, she can basically call the shots.

But Ruotang will not be optimistic that Concubine Shu accepted her, and she will be crowned the princess, and she will be given the position of a side concubine, which is already considered her kindness.

After all, the position of the Seventh Imperial Concubine is reserved for her to be more useful.

After Ruotang left Huaqing Palace, the old lady appeared beside Concubine Shugui, holding a hot handkerchief in her hand, and said to her distressedly: "Niangniang, lie down quickly and let the slave and maid dress you." ”

Concubine Shu naturally didn't want her flower and moon appearance to be damaged, so she lay down according to her words, closed her eyes and let the old lady carefully ice her dress.

Seeing that she frowned because of the stimulation of the ice cubes, the old lady couldn't help but say: "Niangniang, why do you have to be so cruel to yourself, just make a show, look at you...... The slave can't bear to look at it! ”

"If it's just for show, where can you win people's trust?" Concubine Shu said lightly: "Don't worry too much, Mama, after applying the ointment prepared by Ah Zhong, the swelling will soon be reduced." ”

"Do you want to tell Your Majesty about today's events?"

"Tell him what?" Concubine Shu said casually: "Whether it is the princess of Hunan or the orphan girl who lives in the mansion of the third prince without a name or a penny, Your Majesty is very disgusted with her - the earlier purpose of the palace has been achieved, but it has also caused some trouble because of this." ”

"What's the trouble?"

"This palace originally knew that according to the stubborn temper of the emperor, he would definitely not let go if he was willing to chase Shen Ruotang to Liuguo. But how could this palace watch this Shen Ruotang, who was useless and helpful to the palace, take the title of the emperor's concubine again? Therefore, the palace will acquiesce in the identity of the orphan girl fabricated by the third prince for her, and in the future, there will be a reason to prevaricate the emperor and her. Just ......"

When Concubine Shu said this, her beautiful brows couldn't help frowning slightly, "This palace originally wanted to suppress her with His Majesty's hand, so that she couldn't bear the pressure and took the initiative to cut off relations with the emperor, which was the best." But now it seems that Hongu has found a small trouble for himself. ”

Chu Qianlan is bound to refuse to let go, and she urgently needs Ruotang to do this peace in the middle and repair the relationship between her and Chu Qianlan, so it is inevitable that she will make some concessions. It's just that now Ruotang has been deliberately or unintentionally disliked by Baili Huang, and when the time comes, she will ask Ruotang to be a concubine or side concubine for Chu Qianlan, but I am afraid that it will take some effort.

However, it is not a big deal, and it is not a difficult thing to convince Bailihuang.

Concubine Shu stretched her brows in reassurance.

……

Ruotang left Huaqing Palace and was invited to the palace of the ninth princess.

Seeing Ruotang come in, the little princess hurriedly greeted her, took her hand and kept asking, "Sister Shen, what did she tell you in the palace just now?" Why are the mother's eyes and face swollen? If my father sees my mother's appearance, I will definitely be furious, and if you are to blame it at that time, it will be bad! ”

Ruotang's heart was slightly warm, and let the little princess pull her forward, just now in the palace of Shuguifei, as soon as she came in, she cried loudly when she saw Shuguifei's appearance, and rushed into Shuguifei's arms and cried for a while, Shuguifei naturally didn't tell her what happened, but casually found an excuse to perfunctory her.

However, the little princess is already sensible, although she endured it at the time, when she saw Ruotang at this time, she couldn't bear it anymore. This is also worried about Ruotang's relationship, afraid that she will be punished by Baili Huang.

"Don't worry, the concubine is really fine, and when you go to say hello again in the evening, the concubine's face will definitely be good. As long as you don't tell Your Majesty, no one will know about today's events. "The imperial doctor is a person from Concubine Shugui, what is the difficulty of getting her some good ointment that reduces swelling and removes stasis with quick effect?

The little princess hurriedly shook her head like a rattle, "If I don't say it, I will be killed, and I won't tell my father a word." ”
