Chapter 33: Intolerable

Duan Xuan's words seemed to be talking to himself, but they actually made my heart tremble.

More than the woman behind it?

Just like the first time I saw it, the reason why Duan Xuan abandoned her and chose to be with the queen is because the queen is a woman who can stand side by side with him, whether he likes it or not, as long as the people like it, as long as public opinion likes it, it doesn't matter who Duan Xuan is with, but today Duan Xuan said that "I" is not just the woman behind him.

Maybe it's because of the words I said to the beggar today, or the magnanimity and open-mindedness I have shown in recent days, all of which have changed Duan Xuan's feelings.

Only now did I believe for sure that he was in love with "me".

It was I who realized this, so I had a complicated feeling when I faced him, and I couldn't have peace of mind when I left the palace, so I could only find an uncomfortable excuse to go back to the palace in the end.

Duan Xuan held my hand tightly on the way into the palace, and didn't even give me a chance to struggle, so he led me like this, passed through the palace, and led me to the hall where I first saw Si Qing.

When I walked into the main hall, Si Qing stood in the hall as I saw him for the first time, looking at a calligraphy painting on the wall, and when he heard the footsteps behind him, he turned his head to look back, and looked at me with a pair of amber eyes.

"The emperor has figured it out?"

Si Qing's words interrupted my thoughts, and I felt Duan Xuan's hand holding me a little tighter.

"I want to make Concubine Li the queen."

What the?

I took a few steps back, stumbling a little.

It turned out that Duan Xuan had always known that Concubine Li was Shen Qianxun, but he pretended not to know just because the current queen was more suitable to stand by his side, and now that my intervention made Duan Xuan feel that maybe Concubine Li was more suitable to be with him.

It's all because of me?

Duan Xuan was still discussing with Si Qing how to turn my purple eyes into black eyes, and how to turn the concubine position into the back position, but I fled in a hurry.

I returned to the Yuehua Hall in a panic, only to find that the queen had been waiting for me in the Yuehua Hall for a while.

Today's queen is dressed in a bright red gauze dress, with her hair in a high bun, and her originally slender eyebrows are particularly high-flying.

"My sister is having a good time these days."

She said lightly, with a slight sarcasm in her tone.

I looked at her and didn't know why I was a little scared, she was completely different from the calm queen in the past.

"I didn't play anything, I just thought in my heart that I was about to leave the palace and reunite with my mother, so I was naturally a little happy in my heart."

She stood up from her seat, an inexplicable smile tugging at the corner of her mouth, and she scratched my face with her sharp nails. The tone was cold.

"Sister, your mother was waiting for you to see her outside the palace, but I heard that the emperor was very good to you, so I wanted to cut it off and not drag you down."

I looked at her eyes as cold as frost, and my heart was half cold.

"The emperor doesn't favor me, please let the queen rest assured that I won't abandon her for the emperor."

The queen listened to my words, and the corners of her eyebrows furrowed.

"Sister, this game is indeed my loss, I didn't expect you to open your mind and win Duan Xuan's favor again, originally I didn't want to use your mother as a threat, after all, I don't love him, but now he wants to abolish me and make you the queen, I can't tolerate this."

I listened to her words and subconsciously took a step back.

"I don't want this posterior, I just want to be with my mother."

She saw me take a step back and grabbed my arm.

"It's not that you want it or not, but whether he wants to give it or not, he is so ruthless to me now, I have nothing to hesitate about, as long as you die, the future position will always be mine, as long as you die!"

As soon as she said this, she plucked a hairpin from her head and plunged it into my temple, and then a tingling pain greeted me and I fainted, and I could still hear her condescending words before I passed out.

"How honored you must be to have the talisman of Hansha Pavilion in your head now."
