Chapter 195: A slap in the face, a slap in the face, a heartache
"Lead me to a joy I have never tasted in my life. He understands me and understands me. even gave up his escapist heart for me, catered to the emperor, and ascended to the position of a powerful minister, just to protect me and prevent the arrogant and domineering Xia Guiren from being bullied. This love is so selfless, and how can I resist. Although she was crying at this time, when she talked about the past with Xiao You, she had a smile on her face and was happy.
My hands trembled at her words, moved by what she said. But reason tells me that I can't be soft-hearted, "No matter how beautiful and touching your love is, you shouldn't have the heart of bullying the emperor and incite Xiao You to rebel." ”
"I didn't, I just said it to keep him, I didn't let him rebel, now I don't ask this cheap life to stay, but I beg the imperial concubine to let Master Xiao go, he is the emperor's most trusted person!" Her voice trembled uncontrollably, always begging for Xiao You.
"You still know that the emperor trusts him, so you shouldn't encourage him and let his heart loosen, do you know that you will hurt him like this?" With one hand, I picked up the medicine bowl that had been on the table and stared at it for a long time. Finally, in front of her, "I will never allow anyone to threaten his hard-won imperial power." ”
Her already pale face became even more gloomy after seeing this bowl of medicine, "This is ......"
"As long as you drink it, you and Xiao You will be safe. I don't care about what I saw and heard that day. The voice paused, and after a long time, "If you don't drink, you and Xiao You...... will all die. ”
She looked at the medicine in my hand in a daze, and she didn't dare to take it, and the hand I had been holding out in front of her was already starting to be sore.
"As long as I drink it, can you really not reveal my affair with Lord Xiao?" Her demeanor had calmed down a lot, and she looked at me with a mortal heart, and there was distrust in her eyes.
I nodded sincerely. She snatched the bowl from my hand and drank it all. "I hope you talk count."
Sitting quietly on the round stool, watching the medicine bowl in her hand fall to the ground, making a piercing sound that shocked my heart.
Her face was painfully tangled, and there were bursts of pain in her lower abdomen, screams of pain, and a terrible voice.
In the end, she collapsed on the ground and couldn't stop rolling, and the blood slowly seeped out from under her skirt, staining the ground red for a whole part, which was shocking.
Her screams caused the minions outside to break down the door, and they screamed at the sight, and in an instant, Chidori-gu became a place of chaos.
The imperial doctor hurriedly came to check the pulse of Mrs. Ya, who was already in pain, and Xiao Jincheng also hurried over when he heard the news, anxiously looking at Mrs. Ya who was lying on the bed lifelessly. I was still sitting quietly on the white marble stool, staring at the red blood stains on the ground without blinking.
I cut off her chance to be a mother in the rest of her life. Now that I can witness this bloody scene without changing my face, when did my heart become so vicious?
"Imperial Princess......" Zhi Tao called to me in a trembling voice, as if she had sensed something, and her eyes flashed with tears.
"Mrs. Ya will never be pregnant for the rest of her life." The Imperial Doctor sighed and shook his head regretfully.
"What did you say?" Xiao Jincheng's voice instantly raised, and his eyes showed a cold light, "How can it be ......?" ”
The Imperial Doctor glanced at me tremblingly, and said in a squeaky voice, "It seems to be ...... Be...... Infertility medicine. ”
Without waiting for Xiao Jincheng to react, Mrs. Ya called weakly, "Your Majesty ......"
He immediately stepped forward and whispered, "I'm here." "He is ashamed of this woman!
"It was the concubine's voluntariness, and the concubine did not protect your child, and the concubine blamed herself...... Ask the emperor to ...... Condemnation. The more she spoke, the more excited she became, the obvious words did not reach the meaning, and tears fell uncontrollably from the corners of her eyes, dripping on the pillow, and printing a large piece.
"Okay, I got it." He sighed, not knowing how to comfort him. As for comforting women, he has never said anything to other women except An Huaixin......
The disappointment in Madame Ya's eyes flickered, and finally turned into a feeble smile, and the afterglow swept over me, and her eyes were full of envy.
Then, without a trace, he withdrew the hand he was holding, closed his eyes, and fell into a groggy sleep.
Xiao Jincheng took a deep look at the petite and pitiful person on the bed, swept his gaze to the broken bowl on the ground, and then moved to me, "Come out with me." Without waiting for any reaction from me, he took the lead and walked towards the main hall.
I followed his footsteps in vain steps, and came to the silent and uninhabited hall, cold and desolate. He looked at me for a long time, and asked coldly, word by word, "Why." ”
There is no doubt, but yes.
I looked back into his gloomy eyes and spat out one in my very vague voice, "Because I'm jealous!" ”
The sound fell, and a slap had already swung fiercely, and a "snap" sound resounded back and forth in the hall for a long time. I took a few steps back at the sudden slap from him, and the heavy, merciless slap made my brain buzz and go blank.
I had expected that he would scold me, that he would ignore me, that he would alienate me, that he would beat me. Without even asking me why, it was slapped and swung down. It hurts, it hurts.
"You know that she will not pose any threat to you, and the son in her womb is not mine, why do you want to cut off her chance to be a mother so ruthlessly, do you know that the harem woman is infertile and has no intention of dying. You...... When did it become ......! He angrily pointed at me and shouted.
Dead? At least she'll be alive...... My gaze lingered on his face and never left him. "yes, I'm ruthless, but I'm still going to spare her life, don't I?"
There was disappointment in his eyes, and he sneered at me without emotion, "Yes, she should also thank you, you didn't mention that I forgot that you didn't even let go of an unborn child before, and now it's so merciful."
He thought the kid was me...... Isn't it him?
I tried to calm myself down, "Even without me, can you keep that kid?" I suddenly let go and roared excitedly, but the tears condensed in my eyes refused to fall, "I have no complaint about how you want to punish me today." ”
Maybe I was angry because of that slap in my heart, so I didn't even want to explain, and just replied.
His voice was louder than mine, dragging out all my echoes, "Do you think I really dare to do anything to you?" ”
I said no more, but looked at him quietly, and he looked at me for a long time.
In his gaze, the tender love could no longer be seen. He snapped his eyes shut, and opened them again as indifferent as ever. No longer looked at me, and walked away lightly, without any nostalgia.
I sneered, and I wandered in this hall, it turned out that I still couldn't withstand a child, and I couldn't resist mutual suspicion.
The palace is silent and the sky is full of moon, the spring breeze slowly flutters the clothes, the dark dust is flying, and the silver candle is cold on the screen. Dressed in a thin coat, I sat on the stone steps in front of the porch, holding a small stick in my hand, gently stirring the dust at my feet.
My heart is empty, I always feel like something is missing, and sometimes I feel like I don't belong here at all.
The news of Mrs. Ya's infertility spread in the palace, and everyone began to speculate, concluding that the child in her womb was also killed by me, but Mrs. Ya insisted that she accidentally fell and miscarried.
I know why she said this, is she afraid, or grateful? If she was grateful, she really didn't have to, after all, it was I who took her away from her power as a mother.
It's been five days, and he hasn't come to Zhaofeng Palace again, am I really so unforgivable?
Zhi Tao said that now the imperial court, with Xiao You as the leader, is leading the ministers to participate in me, and wants the emperor to severely punish me and investigate the matter thoroughly.
She said that I was too stupid to take the medicine to her face, isn't this tantamount to telling everyone that I can't tolerate all the women in the harem? She also said that she could actually deliver the bowl of medicine on my behalf.
I fussed around with the dirt, the smell of dust reaching my nose, and I choked and coughed a few times. I was stupid, so stupid that I overestimated my position in his heart, and what I got was a slap in the face. was so stupid that he was soft-hearted and wanted to let Xiao You live, but what he got was his ruthless participation.
Why did I only think at the beginning that as long as I let them live, Xiao You would be fine. But I didn't expect that Mrs. Ya was Xiao You's woman, he loved her very much, and I deprived them of the right to be parents. In that case, how could he let me go? However, Mrs. Ya must not have children in the future, I can't let Xiao You be instigated by her to rebel and put her own child on the throne of the prince, this is the crime of rebellion and deception, he can't afford the crime, and Xiao Jincheng can't bear his betrayal.
I asked myself if I regretted it, no, I didn't regret it. It's okay to take it as Xiao Jincheng's return for my affection, it's a big deal that I won't leave the palace here!
"Imperial Princess......" A shadow stretched out in the moonlight, overlapping with my shadow.
I slowly looked up at Mrs. Ya, who had just recovered from a serious illness and her face was slightly pale, "Why are you here, watching the joke?" ”
She was silent for a long time, lifted her dress and sat side by side with me on the porch, looking at me sideways, "I came to thank you for letting me live that day." ”
My hand stiffened while playing with the dirt, and I asked a little funny, "Really?" But you will never have any more children in your life, don't you hate me? ”
"I know that if you had the intention of harming me, I and Lord Xiao would have been imprisoned a long time ago." Her eyes lit with sincerity, "I thought you hated me. ”
I smiled and threw away the dead branch in my hand, "I've never liked you." Looking back at her in a daze, "Don't think about leaving the palace under the pretext of being infertile, you can finally be with Xiao You, even if the emperor's woman dies, she can only die in the palace." For the sake of the two of you, give up this relationship. ”
Mrs. Ya, bowed her head and was silent for a moment, "Why do you want to let me go?" Moreover, everyone saw that it was you who brought the medicine into the Thousand Bird Palace, aren't you afraid? Aren't you afraid of murdering the palace concubine? ”
"I'm afraid, why am I not afraid?" The two of us stopped talking, and the surroundings were quiet, except for the cold wind whistling against us. I sighed quietly and said in a self-deprecating voice, "That day, I dared to take the medicine to the Thousand Bird Palace in front of everyone, and I had already pushed my life out, and I was gambling with my life. ”
"Who are you betting with, Lord Xiao?" There was a slight hint of surprise in her voice, a hint of concern.
I shook my head slightly, "Actually, I lost. ”
"I don't understand, the emperor didn't dispose of you, which means you haven't lost yet, hasn't it?"
"Actually, I lost a long time ago, as early as that day...... I lost. ”
I sat quietly with Xinyue and Zhitao in the Feixian Pavilion behind the Zhaofeng Palace, the sun was warm and the wind was blowing, and the wind was scattering and the tidbits were drifting. For two months, he never came again, and the matter of Mrs. Ya's death had faded with time, and no one had ever asked whether her previous child was caused by me or by herself. Xiao You did not go back to the table to ask for a thorough investigation of the matter. I don't know how to calm it down, but the person who calmed it down must be Xiao Jincheng, I know.
