Chapter Ninety-One: There Is Only One Moon
Zhao Xuan straightened Li Hua Qingrao's hair that was messed up due to heavy sleep, "Why did you lose a lot of weight?" What happened to make you come here to hide? โ
"Everything is fine in the palace, but because the sun is too poisonous, I want to come here and take a good nap." Hua Qing said coquettishly: "Who knows that everyone will be disturbed!" Everyone has to compensate the concubines for a quiet sleep! โ
Zhao Xuan raised his head and laughed, "According to what you say, is it my fault?" โ
Hua Qing smiled and threw herself into Zhao Xuan's arms, "The concubine doesn't dare." โ
At night, Ding Zhen sat on the chair and took a leisurely sip of tea, looking up at the little waiter opposite who was beaten to a bloody blur, with a smile on his face. "What? Still unwilling to explain? โ
The little chamberlain tried to open his eyes, but the strength of his body could only support him barely half-open. The blood on his forehead continued to flow downward, soaking his eyelashes and gathering into a cloudy bead of blood.
"My lord, the little one is telling the truth, there is really no one to instruct!" He said weakly.
Ding Zhen's expression changed suddenly, he snorted angrily, and threw the teacup in his hand to the ground. "Hit our family hard!"
The whip soaked in salt water once again rained down on the little waiter's body, and where the whip passed, the skin was instantly opened. The heart-rending pain weighed down on him, and he could only moan weaker than the other.
Ding Zhen played with the wrench in his hand with a leisurely expression, squinting his eyes and looking at the almost lifeless little waiter, "It's still a hard bone, but our family wants to see if it's your hard bones or the toughness of the whip." โ
The sound of the whip pounding on the flesh rang out in the small chamber. The air was filled with the smell of blood.
The sound of the whip suddenly stopped, and a chamberlain put down the bloody leather whip in his hand, walked over quickly, and said respectfully: "My lord, he has lost his breath." โ
"Hahahaยทยทยทยทยท" Ding Zhen covered his mouth and let out a sharp laugh, and suddenly the laughter stopped, he narrowed his eyes and said sharply: "He is very blessed with this life!" Dead so soon?! โ
With an eerie and grim glint in his eyes, he swept over the rest of the chamberlain, "This is the end of betraying our family, you know?" โ
The attendants were suddenly shuddered when they saw him, knelt on the ground and said loudly: "The little one must follow the adult, be loyal and never give up!" โ
Ding Zhen listened to their words of determination, although he didn't know if it would be realized, but these words were really pleasing to the ear, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Yuan Lu glanced at Ding Zhen's expression, got up and approached him and said, "Godfather, leave the rest to your son." Please move your godfather, so as not to stain your godfather's eyes. โ
Ding Zhen raised his hand and patted his cheek, and said with a wicked smile: "Remember, you have to leave no traces!" โ
Yuan Lu nodded with a smile and said, "My son remembers!" โ
He watched Ding Zhen walk out of the inner room, and then turned his gaze to the corpse that was already bloody and unclear. His gaze was thoughtful, and he waved his hand casually, "In a moment, find a hidden place to bury him." โ
Ding Zhen walked out of the inner room, and suddenly heard the sound of a wild cat outside the courtyard, and he found an excuse to throw off the chamberlain who followed him. Following the path, I turned into a dilapidated palace that had been uninhabited for many years.
A man in a black cloak was standing in the courtyard with his back to him, and he called softly: "Yue'er." โ
The man turned around at the sound, revealing a stunning face. She took off her hat and took two steps forward, calling in a voice like a lark, "Father." โ
Ding Zhen glanced at her chin, which had become thinner and thinner due to the wind and cold, and asked, "Why has the whole person lost a lot of weight?" But didn't eat properly? โ
The woman in black explained softly: "Recently, because of taking medicine, I don't have much appetite. โ
Ding Zhen sighed, "For the sake of my father-in-law, I really hurt you." โ
The woman in black hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Yue'er doesn't feel bitter, for the sake of her father-in-law, Yue'er is willing to do anything." She said with a little hesitation: "It's just that Yue'er has one thing she can't understand." โ
"What?" Ding Zhen asked.
The woman in black lowered her glass-like eyes and whispered, "Why did my father-in-law ask Yue'er to withdraw Yue'er's brand as soon as she entered the palace on the grounds that she was suffering from the wind and cold?" If Yue'er is favored as soon as she enters the palace, wouldn't it be more able to help her father-in-law achieve great things? โ
Ding Zhen shook his head, and a cold light appeared in his eyes, "Yue'er, your mind is still too immature, this harem is not as good as other places, if you are not careful, you will lose all the plates." What your father-in-law wants is not for you to be favored for a while, but to see you ascend to the throne of the phoenix queen and master the power of the harem. โ
The black-clothed woman's pupils were shocked, she grew up beside her father-in-law since she was a child, and naturally knew her father-in-law's ambitions, but she just didn't expect her father-in-law's ambitions to swell to such a big point, and the purpose of sending herself into the palace turned out to be the queen's phoenix seat.
Ding Zhen seemed to guess her thoughts, and said: "Yue'er, don't blame your father-in-law for his ambitions, my father-in-law has been up and down in this harem for more than 20 years. From an unknown little chamberlain to the current position of the head of the entire chamberlain province, he has long seen through the coldness in this deep palace. Only by climbing to the top can we be qualified to live like a human being. โ
"My father-in-law has seen the portraits of these women who entered the palace with you, and only Hua Qingrao's appearance can be compared with you. And because of her special identity, my father-in-law originally wanted to let you avoid the edge first, and let Concubine Zhang Xian help you get rid of Hua Qingrao. With your appearance, coupled with the help of my father-in-law, I will easily gain everyone's favor. โ
He suddenly sighed lightly, "But now it seems that this Hua Qingrao is not a good stubble." If you shrink like this again, you will only miss the opportunity. โ
The woman in black frowned, and said with some worry: "Father-in-law, but Yue'er's illness has been dragging on, if it suddenly gets better, it will inevitably make people feel a little strange." โ
Ding Zhen patted her on the shoulder, "You don't have to worry about this, my father-in-law has planned it for you." โ
He took out a small porcelain vase from his bosom and handed it to the woman in black. "After you go back, find a way to find Hua Qingrao here, and then take the pills here, and you will naturally know what to do in front of the queen and everyone later."
The woman in black was shocked, and hesitated: "But Yue'er and Na Hua Qingrao have never met, and Yue'er is infected with the cold, so find a reason to find her, will it be a little abrupt?" โ
Ding Zhen hooked the corners of his mouth, "Haven't you always been very close to Tiancairen?" I heard that she has been able to get involved with Hua Qingrao recently. โ
The woman in black's eyes lit up, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, Yue'er understands." โ
Ding Zhen nodded with satisfaction, raised his head to look at the bright moon in the sky, and said slowly: "Yue'er, the stars in the sky also have light, but as soon as the moon appears, the light of the stars will be covered by it." โ
He lowered his head and looked at the woman in black, "Yue'er, if you want to have a unique light, you can only be the moon." He raised his hand to the sky, "And there is only one moon." โ
