"Concubine Yi. Jiao Niang smiled and muttered, she sighed and looked at Mrs. Zhou, "She is really well-intentioned, and she arranged you to the prince's side early, and she is far-sighted." ”

Mrs. Zhou's eyelashes intertwined, like butterfly wings reflected on her eyelids, casting a crow-colored shadow, "You should naturally find out, I am not a distant relative of Concubine Yi, I am just one of the many girls she picked, in fact, there are many like me." ”

"I know that she has trained/taught many girls like you, some of them were sent to be maids, and some of them were sent to the princes or ministers' homes as concubines, these princes know. ”

"The prince is wise. ”

Jiao Niang stared at her beautiful face, although Mrs. Zhou is not a country and a city, but she has a unique temperament and a quiet beauty, and being with her will only make people feel comfortable.

In fact, men like this kind of woman, no matter how beautiful the appearance is, there are times when they are tired of looking at it, and it can make people feel comfortable physically and mentally, which is what men really need.

I have to say that Concubine Yi knows a man's appetite very well, and she is even more proficient in flirting/teaching people.

Jiao Niang stroked her hair, "It's just that even if the prince is watching the fire, he still misses you." He had also cleaned up the fine work in the house, but he never thought that the person who had always been not fighting or grabbing would also be the fine work sent to him by King Rong. ”

Mrs. Zhou had no joy or sorrow on her face, "I was so quiet that he almost forgot about me, how could he think of it? If it weren't for the prince's anger with his sister that time, I am afraid he would not have thought of promoting me to wife." But even if I was promoted to wife, in his eyes I was still the concubine he could barely remember. Even though I usually give a lot of rewards, it's just because I'm a person who can talk to my sister. ”

There was no trace of sadness on her face, as if she was talking about an outsider, "Do you know? The prince still doesn't know what his name is, he has always only called me Zhou, and almost no one in this mansion knows my name, only my sister pays attention." ”

A gleam flashed in her eyes, as if it was a star that suddenly appeared in front of her in the night, "And him, he remembers, too." ”

This is undoubtedly King Rong.

Jiao Niang stared at her silently, "Sister is so stupid, is it worth it for a man who only treats you as a tool?"

Mrs. Zhou shook her head gently, a white jade lotus flower hairpin inserted in the diagonal bun exuded a soft light, her firm gaze fell into Jiao Niang's eyes, and said firmly: "It's worth it, he doesn't just treat me as a tool, he said, he has me in his heart." ”

Jiao Niang's sneering voice was piercing, "Sister also believes this, if he really has you, how can I see his discarded purse? Sister, you are deceiving yourself." ”

Mrs. Zhou was not angry because of her sarcasm, she smiled lightly, as clear as a newly blooming bud after the rain, "Why does my sister want to expose my scars, don't I know if King Rong has me in his heart?" But I would rather deceive myself like this, because only in this way can I feel that my life is meaningful." You don't know what love is. She suddenly raised her eyes and looked closely into Jiao Niang's eyes, "You don't love King Rui." ”

Jiao Niang's heart was like a sudden punch, she was slightly stunned, Mrs. Zhou looked at her expression, chuckled, and murmured: "Sure enough." ”

She sighed lowly, "I used to envy my sister, but now it seems that my sister's heart is not good, marrying someone she doesn't love, facing him every day, this taste, is not much better than me." ”

The moment when Jiao Niang was stunned, it wasn't actually because she said what was on her mind. But she never thought about this problem from beginning to end, she must not have loved it at first, but now, it seems that everything has changed.

She subconsciously touched her lower abdomen, Mrs. Zhou looked at her move, and said, "This kid is your lucky star, if it weren't for him, then I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to sit here and talk to me today." ”

If it weren't for this child, it would be you who was abused. Jiao Niang is not sure if she is replaced by herself, with Yingche's arrogant temperament, she will not keep herself.

Probably not, his concubine was abused, it would only make him humiliated, he was a person who had achieved great things, how could he leave a woman who made him feel ashamed from time to time.

Mrs. Zhou looked at Jiao Niang sincerely and said, "Jiao Niang, I have always had a grudge in my heart, but I have never had to you, this time, I am really sorry for you." I'm glad you're okay, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to atone for my sins. ”

Outside the window, three or two swallows passed under the low eaves, and the room was silent as if no one was there. After being silent for a long time, Jiao Niang held her breath and said: "By now, you should know that you can't stay." ”

Mrs. Zhou did not have a trace of fear on her face, but a look of relief, "Sister, don't worry, I will solve it by myself, and I will never dirty my sister's hands." ”

She bowed to Jiao Niang squarely, and Jiao Niang was about to stretch out her hand, hesitated, and retracted again.

Mrs. Zhou's figure, like the last fallen leaf in autumn, slowly left the torso of the branches, fell to the ground helplessly, and with the wind blowing, I don't know where to go.

Jiao Niang's heart was melancholy, she sighed slightly, turned around and went back to the room. The distance between the two backs is getting farther and farther away, as if between them, nothing can go back.

When she heard the news of Mrs. Zhou's death, it was almost evening, and the last thin golden light of the sunset sprinkled into the house, Jiao Niang looked up at the sky outside, and after a long time, wiped the last tears in the corners of her eyes without a trace.

No one knows why Mrs. Zhou committed suicide by drinking poison, and some people suspect that Mrs. Zhou died shortly after she came back from watching Concubine Xiaohua, or maybe Concubine Xiaohua said something that forced Mrs. Zhou to death.

But this statement was quickly denied, how good the relationship between the two is, everyone in the house knows it, and besides, Mrs. Zhou is not a threat to Concubine Xiaohua, she is dead, and it is not good for Concubine Xiaohua.

Some people also speculate that it may be that when they saw Concubine Xiaohua pregnant, they thought of their unborn child, and they were sad for a while, and they couldn't think about it, so they did something stupid.

This statement is more credible, and slowly, everyone thinks so.

Even Wei Chizhen thought that was the case, she was always uneasy these days, and a small movement could startle her in fear. Back then, Mrs. Zhou's child was killed by her by sending safflower soup, if Mrs. Zhou really died because of what happened back then, she would be the murderer who indirectly killed her.

It's just that she is not afraid because of guilt, but afraid that Mrs. Zhou's ghost will come to the door.

She posted many talismans in the room, specially used to dispel evil ghosts and ghosts, and after ten or so years, there was no ghost of Mrs. Zhou to disturb her, and she was relieved.
