Chapter 9: How can you bear me?
After Concubine Li was sent to the cold palace, the Yuehua Palace, where she originally lived, was sealed.
Looking at it from afar, all you can see is a weak willow tree in the temple.
If I can't enter Concubine Li's palace, I won't have a place to live, and I don't know where the cold palace that Concubine Li entered is.
I watched the sun go down and I was homeless.
I staggered all the way, and inadvertently walked to the forest where Concubine Li's mother was buried.
I thought of the grief and despair of Concubine Li's loss of her mother, and I wanted to see her mother.
I walked deeper into the woods, but someone had already arrived before me.
Duan Xuan squatted there, digging the dirt on the ground with his hands, Wei Qi stood aside with an expressionless face, and I walked to a meter away from them and leaned against a big tree and watched them quietly.
After he dug up Concubine Li's mother, he put the body in the coffin prepared in advance.
I watched them take Concubine Li's mother away for burial, and then followed Duan Xuan.
I originally wanted to go to his bedroom, thinking that the emperor's bedroom should be relatively large, and I could find a room to sleep in.
Unexpectedly, Duan Xuan did not go back to his dormitory, but went to Concubine Li's cold palace.
The cold palace is not as chaotic as imagined, but it is more elegant than the concubine's bedroom.
When Duan Xuan and I walked in, Concubine Li was lying on the bed, the blood on her hands and forehead had coagulated into blood clots, and her hair was also coagulated with blood, looking very embarrassed.
Duan Xuan walked to Concubine Li's window, looked at her for a long time, and then went out to fetch a basin of water and came in again, he took a handkerchief and slowly wiped the blood stains on Concubine Li's head, his movements were very gentle, but he still woke her up.
Concubine Li saw that it was Duan Xuan and sat up suddenly, and then slapped Duan Xuan with her backhand.
After the beating, her fingers began to bleed again, Duan Xuan frowned as he looked at her bloody fingers, and reached out to wrap her fingers.
"You let go of me!"
Concubine Li struggled, while Duan Xuan firmly imprisoned her and didn't let her move.
"Don't move!"
Duan Xuan frowned, looking at her bloody fingers with some distress.
"Chihiro, does it hurt?" He whispered.
At this time, Concubine Li did not struggle like just now, but her whole body relaxed.
But her eyes were hollow, and she leaned against the bedpost with her eyes closed and wept.
"So you already knew that I was Chihiro, didn't you, how could you not know that I was Chihiro, heh."
Concubine Li cried and laughed, as if she was laughing at herself for being treated as a drama for so many years, laughing at her humble and painful survival over the years, which turned out to be given by the person she loved the most.
"Chihiro, I didn't fail you." Duan Xuan held Concubine Li's shoulders and asked her to look at him.
A gust of wind blew and ruffled Duan Xuan's lightly tied hair, which lay across his eyes and fascinated his eyes.
He brushed his hair away with his hand, and thus let go of Concubine Li's shoulder, and Concubine Li lost her support and slammed into the bed.
Duan Xuan wanted to help her up, but Concubine Li held down his hand.
Concubine Li slowly raised her head, and the moonlight shone in through the window lattice, and a faint light shone on Concubine Li's face through Duan Xuan's hair.
"You didn't bear me, you know that I am Chihiro, but you treat me as Meng Yunli, raise me in the three thousand harem and let me fend for myself."
"You didn't fail me, you know that I like plain but a whole bunch of brocade clothes to give me, just because you think your women need dignified and noble dress, just because you think."
"You didn't fail me, you knew that Meng Yunli was going to turn me into a purple-eyed monster, but you were silent."
Concubine Li grabbed Duan Xuan's hand fiercely, her eyes glowing with a deep purple halo.
"You said you didn't fail me, you said you had a hard time, you didn't have real power before, but now, you have thousands of elite soldiers in Hansha Pavilion, but today you still choose to beat me aside with one palm, just because I can't be the woman in front of you because of my appearance, you tortured me into this appearance because of your cowardice, and now you hollowed out my heart because of your selfishness, Duan Xuan, do you dare to say that you didn't fail me?"
Concubine Li's fingers were already blurred with blood, and her fingers were tightly clasped around Duan Xuan, and the words she said were heart-wrenching.
"How can you be so ruthless!"
When Concubine Li finished the last sentence, she was knocked out by Duan Xuan.
Duan Xuan sat on the edge of the bed, looked at her weak appearance, her face turned pale, and finally left with a sigh.
It was still early spring, and the wind at night was cold, and the gray curtain in front of Concubine Li's bed gently brushed her face, wiping away the tears from her face.
