In those two days, the atmosphere of the mother and son was a little awkward, and Qi Hui also didn't know how to explain to his mother, he understood that the reason why he brought Xiangxiang back, Xiangxiang's begging was not all, it was undeniable that he could not defeat his selfishness. When he and Xiangxiang snuggled up to each other and sat outside the door guarding his mother, he even thought about what it meant for his suspected mother to still have a little nostalgia for the emperor, for his mother, it was the deep love and hatred, she was not still nostalgic for the emperor, she couldn't let go of the past.

However, Concubine Xian's body could not tolerate the continued awkward atmosphere between them, Concubine Xian fell into a coma with a high fever again, and when she woke up, she felt that Xiangxiang was by her side, Xiangxiang's hand quickly touched her forehead, and asked with concern: "Niangniang, are you feeling better?" ”

Concubine Xian smiled slightly, reached out and touched Xiangxiang's cheek, and scolded softly: "You kid, why can't I fool you, how dangerous it is in the palace, what are you doing when you come back?" ”

Xiangxiang smiled: "It's not necessarily good outside the palace, I think about you every day, I can't eat or sleep, don't you feel distressed?" ”

"Silly boy."

"Mother, let me stay with you, don't drive me away. I was scared and frightened that day, please don't take it to heart. Xiangxiang sincerely requested, "But I will keep in mind what you said, I am a person who has died once, and even Lord Yama can't do anything to me, what else is there to be afraid of." ”

Concubine Xian smiled helplessly, she couldn't see Xiangxiang's expression, but the words in her words were firm, so that she understood that this child couldn't leave, and carefully folded Xiangxiang's hands in the palm of her hand, and said with emotion: "Our fate, I'm afraid it won't last, it's time to cherish the days in front of your eyes." Xiangxiang, I won't let you go, and you will be by my side every day in the future. ”

That sentence of fate can't last long, it's very sad, Concubine Xian's health is getting worse, even though Pang Gongzi did his best to send the best doctor, the doctor said that Concubine Xian is old, it is natural failure, and they have no cure.

Qi Hui returned every day, always silently waiting by Concubine Xian's side, he did not reveal the sadness that Xiangxiang imagined, as if he was very calm about his mother's aging, but Xiangxiang felt that no one in this world would be more sad and sad than him, and every time he looked at his wordless silence, his heart ached.

And that night, Jing Shu sneaked into the East Palace as usual, and the whiplash wound on the prince's body was almost healed, but except for the fact that she was allowed to lie down beside her before, there was no progress after that. She has never been able to become the prince's person, this thought is like a spell entangled with Jingshu, she seems to be making a bet with herself, no matter what, the prince will accept her, no matter what, the prince's promise, can not be worth a night of joy can reassure her.

And Jingshu's obsession happened to be used by the prince, she was played with by the prince like a doll, the prince did not leave the house, and without deliberately arranging anyone, he could easily know the movements of Concubine Li and Sun Zhaoyi from her mouth.

In addition, he also thought about a person, that day it was rumored that there was a eunuch outside the cold palace who lynched a palace maid, Qi Xu nervously thought that Xiangxiang had been hurt, but fortunately found out that it was just a dancer who was dedicated to the head of the Internal Affairs Office, and for a while, the life and death of others had nothing to do with him.

But as the prince knew, the palace maid was finally killed, and the palace maid was originally the dancer of the palace music workshop, and at this moment Jingshu was kneading his shoulders for him, and the prince suddenly asked: "You gave the dancers of the music workshop to those eunuchs?" ”

An indifferent look flashed in Jing Shu's eyes, and she said lightly: "There are a few people who are not very obedient, and they used to be very exclusive of concubines, and when they saw that they couldn't settle down in the palace, they arranged for them to serve those old eunuchs, those eunuchs couldn't be men all their lives, and their hearts were already twisted, and there were always some means to clean them up." ”

Qi Xu raised his hand and pressed Jingshu's hand on his right shoulder, and gently rubbed it: "I like your ruthlessness." ”

Jing Shu immediately smiled, leaned on his shoulder, and whispered in a flattering voice: "What Your Highness thinks is what the concubine thinks, what you want the concubine body to become, the concubine body will definitely do its best." ”

The faint fragrance wafted into his nose, and the soft body lay on his body, he was the most beautiful and delicious beauty, and he was the most beautiful woman Qi Xu had ever met, but he never could get rid of it, Jing Shu's shameless behavior in order to please the emperor was disgusted with her after all, he was not short of women, and he didn't need to find satisfaction in Jing Shu at all.

"Your Royal Highness......" Jing Shu teased the prince as much as possible.

"How's it going to be with what I want you to do?" But the prince suddenly said this, gently pushed her away, and said with a bit of seriousness, "Didn't you say that you would do your best?" ”

Jingshu panicked thinking about what the prince wanted her to do, but she could only think of the thing she didn't want to do, and she lowered her eyes for a while, speechless.

"Do that well, and I'll reward you well." The prince did not intimidate Jing Shu, but gently pinched her chin, and even advised, "Don't hurt her, let alone let others hurt her, Jing Shu, I will spoil you well." ”

After that, Jingshu left the East Palace with a cold heart and a cold body as always, and walked back to Furong House along the root of the wall. Caiyun was caught and beaten outside the cold palace, if Xiangxiang was there, would she be indifferent? Will Xiangxiang not be there for a long time?

She smiled bitterly, and finally turned to the road of Furong Ju, but when she was about to get closer, suddenly more than a dozen people ran out of Furong Ju, they were looking for something everywhere with lanterns, and one person saw Jing Shu, and immediately shouted: "Jing Mei has found it, here." ”

More than a dozen eunuchs and palace maids flocked to her, and Jing Shu found that it was Sun Zhaoyi's people in the dazzling light, and those people couldn't help but come forward and take her away, Jing Shu asked in a panic: "Where are you going to take me?" ”

Unexpectedly, Sun Zhaoyi's people took Jing Meiren to Concubine Li's palace, in the middle of the night, Concubine Li was crooked on the beauty couch, Sun Zhaoyi sat on the round bench on the side, the two didn't know what to say, after Jing Shu was thrown in front of her, Sun Zhaoyi said: "If my sister misunderstands me for this little slut, then it's boring, and now bring her, if you want to kill or chop, isn't it my sister's words?" ”

Jing Shu looked at these two women with hearts like snakes and scorpions in despair, is she going to die here tonight? After Sun Zhaoyi fell ill, didn't she plan to go against Concubine Li again, and wanted to show favor to Concubine Li in order to survive in the future? Is there such a stupid woman in the world?

"I heard that in order to win over the prince, you sent this little slut to his bed?" Concubine Li looked at Jingshu on the ground with disdain, and was very satisfied when she saw her frightened expression.

Sun Zhaoyi hurriedly smiled: "Sister doesn't know which of these young sluts has been separated, they all look at the prince's youth and want to seduce, Jingmei is no exception, how can it be my sister's idea?" She glanced at Jingshu with disdain, and then instigated Concubine Li, "Niangniang, I heard that she was found outside the Furong Residence, maybe she just wanted to go to the East Palace to seduce the prince, how should you deal with this kind of * palace matter?" ”

Concubine Li's hideous smile existed in Jing Shu's eyes like a demon, her slender and mean eyebrows were lightly raised, and she asked, "I heard that the emperor likes to see her jump out. Dress. ”

The corners of Sun Zhaoyi's eyes trembled, and she said with a little disdain: "The concubine doesn't want to see it." ”

Concubine Li said coldly: "On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, didn't you still let her dance?" ”

Sun Zhaoyi coughed dryly: "That's what the emperor meant." ”

Although she was talking nonsense, she poked at Concubine Li's hatred, and said to Sun Zhaoyi: "You entered the palace late, there are some things you don't know, the old woman in the cold palace can sit in the position of a virtuous concubine and give birth to a son, do you know why?" ”

Sun Zhaoyi said: "I heard that her maiden family used to be very powerful, just like the queen. ”

Concubine Li snorted and said hatefully: "It's that slut who can also dance, she was first favored by the emperor, that is, she danced in the garden, and later I performed in front of the palace, but the emperor actually said to her in public, 'Far inferior to you'." It's ridiculous, at that time, Concubine Xian was pregnant with a child, fat and bulky, and the emperor actually left me in the center of the hall, saying that I was far inferior to her. ”

Sun Zhaoyi laughed in her heart when she heard this, and she didn't dare to show anything on her face, only to hear Concubine Li say viciously: "I hate sluts who can dance the most." ”

"Then break her legs." Sun Zhaoyi was even more ruthless, raising his hand and shouting, "Bring a stick." ”

Jingshu was like the meat of a fish on a knife, and she struggled to escape when she saw the eunuch bring a stick as thick as her arm. But several palace maids stepped forward to hold her down, straightened her legs, and waited for a stick to come down and waste these beautiful legs.

"Don't come, let me go, you let me go......"

The screams pierced the night, but not enough to spread throughout the entire imperial city, Xiang Xiangben fell asleep beside Concubine Xian, as if he heard a terrible scream, and suddenly woke up from his dream, scared into a cold sweat.

Concubine Xian was seriously ill, and she was still groggy because she didn't wake up on weekdays, but Qi Hui was awakened by Xiangxiang on the side, and stepped forward to help her and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xiangxiang's heart was beating fast and he smiled awkwardly: "I feel like I'm having a nightmare." ”

Qi Hui saw her stretch out her hand to wipe the sweat on her neck, took a blanket from the side and wrapped her in it, and persuaded: "You go back and rest, otherwise I won't be at ease to leave you during the day." ”

Xiangxiang was not stubborn, wrapped in a blanket and went back to his house, but after walking a few steps and turning back, he hugged Qi Hui heavily, and then left satisfied, but after Qi Hui all night, he could feel the warmth of Xiangxiang in his arms.

Early the next morning, for the sake of his mother's illness, Qi Hui went to the Tai Hospital, and the imperial doctor he was waiting for had not yet entered the palace on duty, and he could not ask about his mother until he came, so he hid in the dark to prevent being discovered by others in the Tai Hospital. People come and go here, and they are busy early in the morning, and the palace maids are chattering about new things, and there are also little eunuchs who come to join in a few lively words, but it is a comfortable place.

At this time, a team of medical women walked past Qi Hui, he was careful not to be discovered, but he heard one of them say: "Do you know, the toes of the Furong Jujing beauty were broken by Concubine Li. ”
