Chapter 2: Beauty's Scheming (2)
Liu Shuxin leaned against the doorrail, his face pale. When he saw me come back, he smiled reluctantly. The thin gauze clothes seem to be weak and skinny.
I remember that the people in the palace once said that Liu Meiren was the reincarnation of the flower fairy, not only with a beautiful appearance, but also with a fragrant breath. After she became ill, she became more and more emaciated. Lanxiang has become astringent, the emperor has not stepped into Rongxiangyuan for a long time, the new emperor has only been on the throne for three years, Liu Shuxin is the first show girl to enter the palace, and she was favored at that time, but the scenery was only half a year.
"How? But it's done? She asked.
"I don't know yet, but there must be wariness." I helped her into the house, although the weather was not hot, but if it was windy, it really confirmed what Concubine Li said - time is running out. "Ten Spice Surui, when will you give it to me?"
Liu Shuxin slowly swallowed a mouthful of medicine and said, "When Concubine Li's matter is done, I will definitely give it to you." After a while, she grabbed my hand again and said earnestly: "Su Jin, the only person I can trust is you, you are my sister, I am your sister, can you bear to watch my sister suffer so much?" ”
I think it's ridiculous, when she ridiculed me and blamed me, why didn't she remember that I was also her sister Liu Shuxin.
"I know, you have a good rest."
She was relieved and turned back to the bed.
Liu Shuxin is the daughter of the Liufu who is justifiable, I am just a drag oil bottle brought by a concubine, we are the people who came out of the Qinglou, in their eyes, the mother is either a drama or a/son, and I, her daughter, is naturally not much better.
I've been putting up with it, whether it's the bullying of Liufu or the shame of being kicked out of the house by breaking my tendons, I never thought about revenge. But now it's different, I want each of them to die a good death!
The face in the bronze mirror was terrifying, and the overlapping and intricate burn marks crawled all over the entire left cheek.
Stretched out his left hand to block the scar, and there was another appearance in the bronze mirror.
Who would have thought that the ugly in the palace now was the candidate who was selected by the right minister to be elected to the East Palace as the prince's concubine?
It's a pity that a fire destroyed everything.
I don't know why I slept so deeply that day, the fire destroyed the left side of my face, the scar crawled all over my cheek, and my father said that he would find out the real culprit, but in the end it was gone.
Liu Shuxin entered the palace on my behalf, at that time the prince has become the new emperor, since then, the world knows, there are immortals in Liufu, named Liu Shuxin, ugly if there is no salt, then Liu Sujin.
The distance between the fate of people has been widened in this way, she is the master of the high, and I am the ugly who is played with chores.
Before, I used to wonder who was responsible for the fire, but now, it doesn't matter.
The ten-spice Surui in Liu Shuxin's hand is a poison cultivated by the Liu family, who has been a doctor for generations, for ten years, and it is also my last bargaining chip. As for the fight between her and Concubine Li, I don't bother to get involved.
But I also understand that who is ruthless in the harem battle, only when they are both defeated is when I win.
Although Liu Shuxin drank medicine every day, she never got better, and began to suspect that someone had done something in the medicine, and later learned that the hospital only prescribed a few prescriptions that did not hurt or itch, and could not cure the disease, after all, she was just a beauty who had fallen out of favor, and no one wanted to do her best for someone like her who had no use value.
Sometimes when I go to get medicine, it is all left over from others, and I have a hard time.
She was also left after three screenings back then, and she was arrogant and couldn't afford to slack off, and if she was angry in her heart, her illness would naturally not be better.
It started to rain outside again today, Liu Shu fell asleep, I sat in front of the mirror to freshen up, the burn marks on my left cheek were still obvious, and there was a pair of autumn eyes empty.
Maybe I should be grateful for the fire, I was able to save my life from the palace with a defect, and a beautiful face is glory and capital, although it can be discovered at a glance, it can easily cause trouble. It's like Liu Shuxin, but he just has a good skin.
She has a good name - the reincarnation of the flower fairy, and in the end, she didn't only get the position of beauty, but the concubine position was not her turn.
"Is Miss Sujin here?" The father-in-law, with a thin voice, lifted the curtain and squinted at it. "Concubine Li, please come over, can you move?"
"There is Father-in-law Lao." I casually said goodbye to a silver hairpin and left with a hundred flowers.
Passing through the pavilions and pavilions along the way, there are occasionally a few palace maids with bright faces, wearing plain and chic clothes, carefully applying powder makeup, or singing or picking lotus, thinking that they just hope to attract the passing emperor.
There is precious agarwood burning in the Yiju Palace, but the woody aroma is a little strong, and I feel that something is wrong, and I can't say what is wrong.
Concubine Li obviously has a bad complexion recently, and her eyebrows are worried, even if the carefully combed flower bun has a unique charm, it is not as bright as before.
"This palace has been very depressed recently, and the imperial doctor said that it is okay, but this appetite is still missing, what can you do?"
"The slave is not talented, and she is willing to serve the mother."
Walking into the kitchen again, there are all kinds of delicacies on the board, especially the lotus seed chicken soup, the color is bright, the smell is fresh, but Li Concubine returned it intact, which inevitably makes people suspicious, even if it is a bad joy, it is impossible not to move chopsticks for two days, right?
Mu Han opened the curtain, the crimson cardigan skirt lined the skin white, although it was a hot summer, but on her, this fiery red color was eye-catching
"Su Jin, the emperor is so gentle to his mother." Her fascinated expression was really reflected in my eyes.
"You're not tempted, are you?" I went and laughed, and brought the glutinous flour in my hand.
"You! What nonsense are you talking about. Her face turned red and she was very shy, "Don't be heard by the mother, or I'll die." ”
I guessed Mu Han's reaction, she must have been interested in the emperor in these days of entering the palace, I heard that the new emperor is only twenty and four this year, and it is the time when he is in his prime, but I don't know whether this kind of thing is good or bad for Mu Han.
I suddenly remembered that when I first entered the palace, I broke the jade bottle of Fuxi Palace, and according to the routine, I was punished with twenty rods. But Mu Han took the charge for me. Until now, when it's cold, the places on her body that have been beaten will hurt. I'm not a lover person, but I don't want to owe others a favor, whether she is true or fake, I should probably help her and repay this favor.
Thinking about it, the crushed ice balls have been successful, I took some osmanthus, dripping a drop of flower brew, the flower flavor is heavier, completely covering the original faint wine, if I remember correctly, pregnant people avoid spicy and taboo wine, but no one can taste the wine here.
Walking outside the palace, I pulled Mu Han and asked, "Do you want to see the emperor?" ”
"Huh?" She was dumbfounded.
"Listen, as soon as it gets dark today, you will change into the yarn embroidered with the moon season and come out, and I will wait for you by the lotus pond."
She seemed to hear what I meant, and said, "The emperor once said that he likes light and plain colors the most, and he doesn't like women to wear pink clothes the most." ”
"It's a gamble, and you don't want to get his attention. If you want to go, I won't force it, don't worry, I won't hurt you. I held her hand until the doubt in her eyes dissipated.
"I believe in you."
……
In the evening, a breeze blows.
Mu Han was looking at the half-open pink lotus, the slender figure in the moonlight was beautiful, and the white jasmine in her ears made her like a fairy in the Moon Palace. I heard Xiao Mozi say that the emperor is going to the queen's side tonight, and he must pass by Xia Yuan Garden, and specially spent some silver to invite away the "idle people" in the garden.
A huge group of people gradually approached, and Mu Han was still in a daze, occasionally reaching out to touch the pink lotus. The team stopped, and a tall figure approached, I couldn't see him clearly in the darkness, but I already knew what was going to happen.
I'm done with what I'm supposed to do, and it's time to go back.
Turning around, an extremely fast black shadow flashed behind the rockery, leaving a strong smell of blood. My heart tightened, and I quickly followed. Passing by the plum garden of Xiao Suo, I found nothing. As I was about to return, a powerful force grabbed me, and someone covered my mouth. The bloody aura mixed with the strange faint medicinal fragrance formed an extremely complex aura. I could feel the man's bony fingers, the thin calluses on the tiger's mouth grinding his cheeks hot. My eyes widened in disapprehension.
"Don't move." A deep and misty voice. Hoarseness with slightly suppressed pain.
I stopped struggling, and it was clear that this man was hurt, and maybe he might not be able to suppress me.
