"It's so late, why did the mother come over?" To He Xiuyi's relief, she was led outside the dormitory by the palace maid who led the way, and after knocking on the door of the hall, she immediately got an answer.

Concubine Xue, who opened the door, her eyes were obviously red and swollen, and when she saw He Xiuyi, she seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then she was blessed, and said a little lukewarmly, "The concubine has not been able to meet her from afar, and I ask my mother for forgiveness!" ”

He Xiuyi knew that she had always been jealous of herself—she was jealous of her favor and high position; Now I am jealous that I have a way out, and my mother's family is reliable - not only Xue Concubine, Tian Baolin, Zhong Mei, Jiang Cairen, and them, it is estimated that they all have such thoughts, but Xue Concubine's temperament is a little more obvious.

When he heard the words at this moment, he was not angry, and said softly: "I can't sleep, I want to come and talk to my sister, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

The main purpose of her coming here was to persuade Xue Concubine to dispel the idea of suicide - but Xue Concubine did not make a suicidal move now, but her palace maid went to the main hall to report when she was worried, so He Xiuyi was not easy to speak out, so as not to make Xue Concubine angry and ashamed.

"Niangniang is the lord of Qibao Palace, in this palace, who do you want to talk to?" Xue Concubine did not restrain her attitude because of He Xiuyi's politeness, and still said sarcastically, "Please!" ”

He Xiuyi's maid couldn't help frowning when she saw her like this.

Not only because she felt that Concubine Xue was too offensive to her master, but also because she felt that Concubine Xue's current mentality was really not quite right - although Concubine Xue was not very gentle and deferential before, she had been trained for a period of time before officially entering the palace, and He Xiuyi was stable with her no matter her background or position, so she was not in awe of He Xiuyi, but she had always abided by the rules.

Now that he is so unkind to He Xiuyi, he is obviously determined to die, so naturally there is no need to care about the humility of the upper and lower levels.

"Although it is said that in the eyes of the nobles of the queen's mother, Xue Concubine's life is nothing, but I am afraid that there will be right and wrong on this eye joint, which will affect the mother!" The maid was worried, seeing that He Xiuyi had already stepped into the dormitory, and was about to move her steps to keep up, but Xue Concubine raised her hand and closed the door of the palace in front of her with a "bang"!

The maid was slightly surprised when she saw this, and hurriedly asked the palace maid not far away: "Can it be confirmed that there is only one master in the palace, Concubine Xue?" ”

The palace maid nodded affirmatively: "The slaves and maids wanted to accompany the master for the night, but the master refused, so he drove everyone out." In the meantime, we are afraid that something will happen to our master, so we have been guarding the doors and windows. ”

The maid breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Xue Concubine and her own master were both delicate and weak women, one-on-one, even if Xue Concubine had bad intentions, it was impossible for her own master to do anything - as long as she listened to the movement, she was not afraid that He Xiuyi would suffer!

After guarding like this for about half an hour, the door of the hall suddenly opened, and He Xiuyi walked out alone with a somewhat strange face.

She glanced at the people guarding outside, and first whispered to the palace maid on this side of the hall: "Sister Xue is tired, go to sleep first, you can go in and spend the night alone, but light your hands and feet, don't wake her up!" ”

Then he said to his maid, "Let's go!" ”

After the master and servant left the side hall, the maid couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked, "Niangniang, what did you persuade Concubine Xue in?" Why did you come out when she was asleep? ”

"Actually, I didn't persuade me much, but she hugged me and cried." He Xiuyi pulled the cloak so that the wind would not blow in through the gap, and whispered in confusion, "She said a lot of what happened at home, I thought that the Xue family was also an official eunuch, and when she was at home, she lived almost the same as me at home!" It turned out that her family valued her brother more - she thought that she would be better off when she entered the palace, and the family would care about her, who knows......"

He Xiuyi sighed and shook her head when she said this, "She will be tired after crying, so I will persuade her to rest first, and I will talk about it tomorrow." She was embarrassed to get up, and said that she had gone to the main hall to plead for me, and she was going to get up to see me off. I thought that she had just hit a wall in Xuanming Palace today, and even if she cried with me, she might not be able to completely let go, so I let her sleep directly. As a result, she really fell asleep not long after she lay down, and I was relieved! ”

It's already the middle of the night, Xue Concubine stood outside the Xuanming Palace for most of the day during the day, and when she came back, she cried in the bath, and then hugged He Xiuyi and cried again, the physical exertion was very great, and the mental blow was not small, so she slept like this, and it was estimated that she wouldn't wake up at all until dawn - He Xiuyi didn't have to worry about any more accidents in the middle, and she could sleep peacefully.

The maid was a little puzzled when she heard this: "Then did she tell you why she went to Xuanming Palace to ask for a meeting during the day?" The slave always felt that Concubine Xue's actions were not quite right. ”

"I wanted to ask at first." He Xiuyi whispered, "But then I heard her crying and crying, I didn't think there was any need to ask—I guess she really wanted to commit suicide!" ”

"If you want to commit suicide, why do you want to go to see Your Majesty?" The maid was puzzled, "Could it be that Concubine Xue still has no wish, that is, I hope that Your Majesty can be kind to her once?" ”

She thought a little unkindly in her heart: If this is the case, it is estimated that Concubine Xue will not be able to commit suicide in this life!

This maid used to follow He Xiuyi's mother Lian's family, and when Cui Jianlian was still there a few years ago, she had seen this little Cui family with Lian's family, and even if she didn't think about Xue Concubine's selection at first, she knew it after being reminded by the He family.

The humiliation that Xiao Cui's family brought to Emperor Duanhua is not a point or two, from what Xue Concubine has suffered since she entered the palace, it can be seen how much Emperor Duanhua holds a grudge against what happened back then!

"If she expects His Majesty to be kind to her, she won't touch this nail!" The maid was thinking of this, but she heard He Xiuyi sigh, "She just hopes that Your Majesty can continue to snub her, and it is better to send someone out to humiliate her at that time!" ”

The maid was dumbfounded and said, "Xue, Concubine Xue, this is ...... This preference ......"

"What's the preference?!" He Xiuyi was a little annoyed, glanced at her, and said in a deep voice, "This is obviously the idea of Xue Concubine having the idea of suicide - but she is a talented girl, she is in her prime, she is beautiful, her family is not good, but she is also a relative of flesh and blood, how can she not hesitate when this matter comes to an end?" ”

"So, Concubine Xue went to Xuanming Palace to see Your Majesty, not expecting Your Majesty to be good to her, but to strengthen her thoughts of suicide?" The maid suddenly realized, and she didn't know if the night wind was too cold, or this answer was too sad, she subconsciously trembled, and then whispered, "This master, it's also pitiful!" ”

He Xiuyi let out a long sigh: "Actually, after she came back today, she gave her body to everyone, I'm afraid it was also deliberate - although she was snubbed in Xuanming Palace during the day today, but His Majesty just didn't see her and didn't embarrass her, she still didn't make up her mind!" So in this way, after the palace girl who served her was suspicious, she would come to report me. ”

"If I try to persuade her, she will naturally dismiss this idea;"

"If I don't go, she has a reason to persuade herself, no one cares about her, no one likes her, so what's the point of her living? Thus having the courage to self. Exhaust...... I really don't know what kind of plan the Queen Mother had in mind when she chose her to enter the palace? ”

He Xiuyi was born in everyone, and his words and deeds have been since elementary school, and before entering the palace, he was repeatedly told by his family to have ears over the partition wall, usually even in the inner room, many words are only thought in his heart, and he never speaks.

But at this moment, I really sympathized with Concubine Xue, and I didn't care that she was still on the snowy palace road, so she stopped directly and said softly, "After knowing that Your Majesty has gone through the matter of Xiao Cui's family, the most disgusting thing is someone similar to Xiao Cui's family!" But she chose Concubine Xue to enter the palace, and she was embarrassed by this, and now she is even more desperate! What are the benefits of doing this for the Queen Mother? Could it be that the empress dowager needs to torture a palace concubine for fun? ”

"Don't say that, mother!" The maid's face turned pale when she heard this, and she hurriedly looked around - in the wind and snow in the middle of the night, she didn't see any figure, but she still pulled He Xiuyi's sleeve and persuaded her, "The Queen Mother is not something we can discuss, not to mention that after your persuasion, hasn't the master of Concubine Xue already dispelled her will to die?" ”

He Xiuyi let out a white breath, looked at the heavy night, and said hesitantly: "But have you thought about it?" Your Majesty hates her so much, even if Your Majesty is safe and sound in the future, and gets a good offering, even us people will still have the treatment of fine clothes and food, but for Concubine Xue...... What kind of day is it? ”

If it really comes to that situation, how to cultivate these people can still have hope of having a child as a companion, except for being under house arrest in a certain area, they are no different from marrying an ordinary person.

But Concubine Xue's words mean that she will be widowed until she dies in this life.

What kind of eyes will everyone look at her at that time, and she is still so young, how can she withstand such suffering?

The maid didn't know how to answer He Xiuyi, but fortunately the main hall arrived at this time, and she said, "Niangniang, let's go in quickly, your cloak is stained with a lot of snow!" ”

…… On this day, the master and servant of the main hall of the Qibao Palace fell asleep with a very heavy heart.

He Xiuyi tossed and turned, and barely fell asleep until it was almost dawn.

When she fell asleep, she was still thinking about how to continue to enlighten this companion when Concubine Xue came to excuse herself?

But soon after, she was once again pushed from her sleep.

The person who woke her up was still her maid in dowry - the maid's face was very ugly: "Niangniang, Concubine Xue is gone!" ”

He Xiuyi was stunned for a while before she sat up suddenly: "Who do you say is gone?!" ”

She heard it right, it was Xue Concubine - Xue Concubine who was still sleeping peacefully when she left, Xue Concubine Xue who she was still thinking about how to comfort her, was gone!

And it didn't have to be very miserable: Xue Concubine didn't choose a concubine. As usual as possible, such as throwing money, swallowing gold, touching the pillar, taking poison, etc., he used a golden hairpin as a dagger and pierced his heart violently, ending his life at the age of fifteen!

Ordinary boudoir girls don't know the location of their hearts, and Concubine Xue is no exception.

So she stabbed many times, until she no longer had the strength to stab down, and the scene was bloodied and miserable.

The most complicated thing is that in such a painful process, the night maid who lived in the outer room separated by a screen did not notice it at all: it was not necessarily that the palace maid was not careful, but that Xue Concubine. A piece of flesh was bitten off her lips - you can imagine how she endured the pain and insisted on not speaking out, maintaining her last dignity!

He Xiuyi didn't have time to dress up, and when he rushed to the side hall with his cloak and hair, the palace people who served Concubine Xue knelt outside the dormitory in fear.

She walked into the dormitory, only stood on the side of the screen, opened her eyes in the tent, turned her head unbearably, closed her eyes tightly - the maid who followed hurriedly raised her sleeves to cover her vision, and said in a low voice: "Niangniang, this matter is too big for you to decide, you have to hurry up and tell the queen mother!" ”

The frightened master and servant hurried to and fro, not noticing at all that the palace maid kneeling beside the skirt was taking advantage of the bowing of her head to show a meaningful smile.
