Chapter 7: Death (7)

The first nobleman was not completely devoid of feelings, but in order to hinder the delicate and clear Concubine Zhuang in front of him, he had to tighten his mind a little.

As soon as the words changed, Concubine Zhuang suddenly remembered the emperor and asked casually: "The little princess died young, the emperor must be very sad!" It's like asking yourself, but you don't want anyone else to answer anything.

Looking down and thinking, Concubine Zhuang couldn't help but put her hand on her lower abdomen, since that slippery tire, she has never received the mercy of God. Even though the emperor always had to stay with her several times a month, there was no good news in this belly. That's it, but it was the queen who was a and Concubine Ru, who also had a slippery tire, both had such blessings, and successively gave birth to a brother and a princess for the emperor.

If you say that there is no jealousy in your heart, even you will not believe it. But what's the use of jealousy, you can't save the emperor's heart, and you can't give her a child after all.

"Niangniang, do you want to go and see ......" The first nobleman was stunned when he saw Concubine Zhuang, so he had to ask carefully. But when the words came out, she changed her mind and regretted it a little.

After all, the reason why Concubine Zhuang was angry was somewhat because of Concubine Ru's favor. There may not be any so-called sisterhood in the harem at all, and those nice words are just wrapped in a layer of gorgeous colored silk for the battle.

"Let's go check it out." Concubine Zhuang shook her eyelashes, and the light shadow blocked the fog in her eyes. "Luan Jing is so cute, such ice and snow smart, this palace can never forget it after seeing it...... "If that child of mine didn't have a slippery tire, would he be like Luan Jing, a smart and cute little princess?"

It's a pity that her child was not born into this world, and Rufei's child is gone. The children in the harem are all so expensive, like tissue paper that is blown and broken, and the goose feather-like lives are too light, too light to bear.

Concubine Zhuang was silent, as if she didn't want others to see her weakness and helplessness. But he straightened his back and walked out of the side hall as if he was strutting forward.

The first nobleman just had a gentle hand, and followed behind Concubine Zhuang step by step, the Concubine Zhuang in her eyes may not be as beautiful as Concubine Ru, but it is also a rare role in the harem that can compete with the queen. What's more, for a long time, Yonghe Palace has always had a lot of favor. In this lot of grace, there is always a share of one's own.

Thinking like this, the corners of the first nobleman's mouth swelled with a pride that others couldn't see. If one day, Concubine Zhuang can replace her and truly become the master of this Yonghe Palace, what kind of beauty will it be?

When Ruyue woke up and turned around, the main hall of Yongshou Palace had already gathered the concubines of the harem. The concubines were plain faced, and their clothes were simple, obviously they came prepared, and they all cried with sadness and sorrow, as if they felt empathy.

"Miss, let them play there for the emperor and the queen. You are resting in the room, we, we are out of sight. Pei Shuang persuaded Ruyue in his mouth, but the tears on his cheeks did not dry.

Ruyue saw that her eyes were already red and swollen, and her voice was a little hoarse, so she couldn't help but feel distressed: "Take care of yourself first." Luan'er is not supposed to die, and I, the mother, must not fall down at this time. ”

This is not for Peishuang, but for himself. Ruyue's hatred was impossible to vent, and she was swallowed up by the grief of the bereaved daughter, and she couldn't tell whether she hated more or felt more pain. "Whether they are true or false, I have the right not to see them.

But Peishuang, Luan'er was born from my pregnancy for ten months and experienced the pain of childbirth, and it was the meat that fell from me, as a mother, how could I not give her a ride? Look at her cute appearance again...... "At this point, Ruyue's tears are wanton, no matter how strong she is in front of the queen, it is all right, but now only she and Peishuang, the pain rolling in her heart can't be hidden.

"The little princess has a hard life, but she has the emperor's love, and the young lady's love and mercy, so it is not in vain that she came to this world to go through this experience." Xi'er walked in with a bitter decoction, looked at Concubine Ru and Peishuang who were crying with their heads, and held back her tears and said with relief: "Niangniang, no matter how sad you are, you must get through." There are never a few concubines in the harem who have lost their children, and they say something that is not good. Dragonborn can have it again, but only once. No matter how uncomfortable the mother is, she must take care of her own safety! ”

Pei Shuang looked back in confusion and said in surprise: "Why did my aunt say this? ”

Xi'er brought the decoction to Ruyue and said sonorously: "The slave thinks that no matter who takes the life of the little princess, it is not just for you to be sad. This is just a dose of poison to paralyze you, like the poison needle of the mandala! ”

Ruyue took the medicine bowl with a smile on her face. The smile was full of bitterness and resentment, but it did not lose reason and vigilance: "Where can they be so kind, they want me to be heartbroken." They clearly wanted to see me die, to send me on my way with my daughter's blood. The queen's poisonous needle is really sharp. ”

After drinking the medicine, Ruyue felt that her stomach was warm. It was as if the flame of resentment had rekindled her fighting spirit, she couldn't lose Luan Jing in vain, let alone the hearts of those vicious people. "Peishuang, Luan'er died for me. I'm not able to protect her thoroughly, but I'm not so vulnerable. My daughter's revenge has not yet been avenged, how can I be submissive and let others eat me. Dress up and change clothes for me, such as a concubine in front of people, will always be the concubine in the harem of the Forbidden City, who can turn over the clouds and rain and cover the sky with one hand. Those who are enemies of me will never end well. ”

"Yes." Peishuang and Xi'er laughed in unison, and their hearts were full of longing and passion. They are all willing to see such a strong and stubborn concubine, despite the pain, but always standing proudly.

"Master, Concubine Zhuang is here with the first nobleman. At this time, the jade nobles are talking with them in the side hall. Shun Xi'er asked through the marble screen of Baiju Yanqiu: "Master, look, do you invite them in?" ”

Ruyue bowed her head slightly, and said to herself: "In the final analysis, Concubine Zhuang was wronged in vain and was also burdened by me, and the queen couldn't tolerate it the most was our Yongshou Palace." After all, for her, the dignified queen of the middle palace, either divide and rule, or compete with each other to reap the benefits of fishermen, there is a chance of winning. It's better than being outnumbered. ”

chose a simple silver hairpin and pinned it to her sideburns, and Ruyue took off the bright moon pendant on her ear: "Xi'er, you go with Shun Xi'er and invite people into the inner bed." ”

Pei Shuang hesitated and didn't move, and when he saw Xi'er go out, he leaned down and whispered in Ruyue's ear: "Miss, it's not a day or two that Concubine Zhuang is jealous of your favor, not to mention that she lost the dragon fetus before...... How can you conclude that this matter must be framed by the queen, but it has nothing to do with her? ”

"Don't use people who are suspicious, don't use people who are suspicious." In the short eight words, Ruyue said it was particularly crisp: "What's more, her Concubine Zhuang is now helpless, except for me, there is no one else who can help her compete with the queen." According to her temperament, even if she really hates me, she will not be stupid and cut off her wings. ”

"That's right." Pei Shuang nodded with difficulty. "The previous situation was a three-legged force, but it was not necessarily the case. The slave and maid looked at it like this, and the first nobleman was not easy to fiddle with. Hmph, the stable days of our Yongshou Palace are over, right? ”

Ruyue smiled coldly, and her laughter was full of poignant: "Peishuang, Peishuang, there have never been any stable days in the harem, but it is just because of your greed." The guilt in her heart almost annihilated herself, Ruyue hated herself like this, and she was willing to be paralyzed in the mirage-like stability for a long time.

The master and servant sank their voices, but neither said anything more. Straight Dao Xi'er led Concubine Zhuang in, and Ruyue got up unhurriedly: "Sister is here." ”

"Although Concubine Ru's complexion is not good, she is still full of spirits, and she is not as vulnerable as the rumors outside describe it." Concubine Zhuang talked to herself, and she didn't think she was an outsider, so she sat down steadily leaning on the rosewood table. "It's all this time, sister, don't be polite."

The jade nobleman and the first nobleman had sad faces and followed in with tears on their faces. As soon as he came in, the jade nobleman couldn't help but be sad and angry, and cried out in a dull voice. "Okay, what's going on? God is too cruel, such a good child, no matter how you say it, you can accept it! Those people...... Those people are so hateful. ”

In the last sentence, Yu Guiren said it extremely hard. The green tendons on the smooth forehead protruded, and the white teeth bit the red lips tightly, and he couldn't wait to slash the enemy.

Ruyue curled her lips hard, with a slight self-deprecation: "It's not easy to be like this, don't all the women in the harem survive like this?" Today's me, just like the former queen, the current queen and Concubine Zhuang's sister you. ”

Concubine Zhuang was stunned when she heard this, her sharp gaze swept across Ruyue's face, and she turned gloomy: "Concubine Ru said so, but she doubts the palace?" ”

The jade nobleman approached, hurriedly held Ruyue's hand, and choked up: "Sister, don't be suspicious of sadness and mess with yourself." Concubine Zhuang is an understanding person, and it will definitely not be related to this matter. But I don't understand, it's about Luan Jing's cause of death, why don't you, the mother-in-law, want to investigate it yourself? I'm afraid that people will send them to the Criminal Division, and if we peel off the skin, we can only find out the false appearance that others want us to know, but not the truth. ”

"Messing around?" Concubine Zhuang smiled, and unconsciously flicked her onion white fingertips: "If the concubine is such a confused person, the jade nobles are at ease." ”

"Concubine Zhuang can say this, why do you think that Concubine Ru doubts you?" The jade nobles listened to Concubine Zhuang's words inconsistently, and had to say more about this.

"Look at you, you're really in a hurry." Concubine Zhuang smiled faintly: "I just asked casually, how could I really guess so much in my heart!" ”

Ruyue and Yu Guiren sat side by side, and said admittedly: "I have never suspected that this matter has something to do with Concubine Zhuang, if it must have something to do with it, it is also Concubine Zhuang's sister who is burdened by me." After all, there are people who can't tolerate Concubine Zhuang and me to fall into the palace. ”

Yu Guiren let out a long breath, and his chest suddenly relaxed: "That's good, but it scares me." I'm really afraid that you will feel uncomfortable at this time, but you have forgotten that there is a pair of hands behind your back, which will choke you and me at any time. ”
