Chapter 347: Your Death Place
Concubine Xiang smiled self-deprecatingly, what she said was not wrong. In the past, she could still rely on her status as a concubine to tell herself that she was different from other concubines, but later the emperor stopped going to her, and even if she went, she was just respectful and like a stranger.
I really don't know what kind of demon I was with at the beginning, but I was moved by the emperor, and I wanted to enter the palace despite the opposition of my family. Now that it is lonely and empty, and the pear blossoms are all over the ground and do not open the door, Xiang Guifei completely understands that she is no different from the other women in the harem, and the emperor has never had any feelings for them. Xiang Guifei raised her head and said weakly: "The resentful woman of the deep palace, do you also think that I have fallen to this?" ”
"It's up to you to choose what your life looks like." Feng Huali sighed, the fault was that Xiang Guifei was bent on entering the palace at the beginning, if she hadn't entered the palace, she might have lived a happier life than now.
But she is now a concubine, and she also has a status in this palace, she could have lived a leisurely life, but now she is sick in bed, to be honest, she clearly did it herself.
"You're threatening me?" Concubine Xiang said in a daze, and then lowered her eyes again, "Also, you will be the emperor's newest concubine soon, and I, the old pearl and yellow concubine Niangniang, is naturally a thorn in your eye." ”
"I never thought about harming anyone or dealing with anyone." Feng Huali shook her head, the only thing she could tolerate in this palace was the existence of Concubine Xiang, if she didn't provoke the emperor, Feng Huali would also like her to enjoy Qingfu alone in this harem.
Concubine Xiang was stunned for a moment, staring at Feng Huali for a long time before she dared to confirm that what she said was true. Concubine Xiang's eyes are a little hollow, the woman in front of her is very different from the people she has seen, maybe this is why so many women in the harem can't get into the emperor's eyes, but because she was favored by the emperor.
The conversation ended with a very peaceful result, and Xiang Guifei was very self-aware and decided not to fight any further. Feng Huali also sent someone to add some objects to her room, so that it would not look so lonely. Solving such a matter on his mind, Feng Huali's empty heart was also much fuller.
Feng Huali walked back along the route, as if he had seen a ghost, Feng Huali lost his route again. Yuedi went to help Xiang Guifei move things, there were fiasco walls everywhere on the road, and in Feng Huali's opinion, every road suddenly became exactly the same.
After walking for about half an hour, Feng Hua turned from east to west, and the path next to him became more and more unfamiliar, but at this time, Feng Huali didn't want to look back, just wanted to find a place to rest for a while. There is a bamboo forest nearby, and it may be very cold because it is difficult to withstand the sun.
Feng Hua faintly heard a cry, the cry was very small, it was almost like a haunting. Feng Huali shook her head, even if it was a ghost, she had to go and see what this ghost looked like. Feng Huali walked around the palace to the main entrance, only to see a woman kneeling on the ground, she raised her hand and held a bucket of water on her head.
The woman seemed to have been kneeling like this for a long time, and now she was covered in sweat, and because of the low sobbing, her whole body was swaying, as if she was going to faint at any moment. But after stopping, an old woman came out of it, and she raised her whip and whipped it fiercely on the back of the kneeling woman, and cursed some unbearable words in her mouth.
Despite being whipped with a whip, the woman bit her lower lip against the bucket. Feng Huali felt trembling for a while, but although he felt pity in his heart, he didn't want to step forward and intervene. After all, this is the palace, and everyone is intriguing and-for-tat.
Just as Feng Huali was about to leave, a man suddenly walked out from the other side and stopped the old woman's movements. The man Feng Huali looked at it for a while before he recognized it as Xu Xinhu. Xu Xinhu said at the time that he enjoyed the feeling of being a king, so he handed over the business to his subordinates for the time being, and returned to the palace with Feng Huali.
Although Xu Xinhu is just a small tribal leader, he still has some status in this palace. Xu Xinhu didn't say a few words, and the grandmother let the person go, and then Xu Xinhu helped the woman up, looking very concerned.
Feng Huali walked up, raised his eyebrows and said, "I didn't expect King Fu Yue to like saving people so much." ”
Xu Xinhu smiled: "It's just that I saw that she was too pitiful, so I saved her." ”
Feng Huali nodded, just as he had rescued himself from the Qinglou at the beginning, but this palace was not much more complicated than the Qinglou and the palace. Feng Huali hooked the woman's chin, her skin was snow-white, and there were several blood marks on her face, but she could see it in addition to that. Feng Huali glanced at Xu Xinhu and said, "You saved her today, do you know what the consequences will be?" ”
Without waiting for Xu Xinhu to answer, Feng Huali said again: "Today you helped her get out of the sea of suffering, but she is still in this palace, since she has been targeted by Fang Cai's grandmother, presumably the future will not be too easy." Feng Huali glanced at the woman with pity, and the woman obviously showed a flustered look when she heard the consequences.
Xu Xinhu was stunned: "I ......"
Seeing that he was incoherent, Feng Huali sneered, she beckoned the woman to come to her side, and asked, "What's your name?" ”
"Ru Yue."
"In the future, you will come to serve in Dongfu Palace." Entering their own palace, presumably these people don't dare to come to the door, it just so happens that Caixin Caiyu has always complained that the palace is much bigger than before, and it is very difficult to clean, and it is not a bad thing to add a capable slave. Feng Huali bent his eyes and looked at Xu Xinhu, he took in this servant girl purely for the sake of his face: "King Fu Yue should not meddle too much in this palace in the future, otherwise it will be easy to get angry." ”
Xu Xinhu's smile gradually unfolded: "I haven't seen you for half a month, where have you been, I can't see you in this palace." ”
"See me for what?" Feng Huali naturally wouldn't say that he had been eating, sleeping and sleeping in Dongfu Palace for half a month, but just smiled and prevaricated. But since she mentioned this, Feng Huali took the opportunity to propose to have a tea together, she hadn't interacted with anyone these days, and she was a little bored.
Xu Xinhu happily agreed, and took him around for a long time to arrive at a palace where Feng Huali had never been. It's deserted, but both the furniture and the road are full of life, and it doesn't look like it's been uninhabited for a long time, and it looks like it's always being cleaned carefully.
Feng Huali sat down, Xu Xinhu made tea and brought her a cup, Xu Xinhu glanced at the wine pot on the side of the teapot, and then said: "I thought you would want to drink, this is the best osmanthus brew." ”
"No, tea has been more of an appetite for me lately." Feng Huali pursed his lips, he also wanted to drink a few glasses of wine when he was bored recently, but as soon as he smelled the wine, he trembled, as if his body was constantly protesting. Not only that, but she couldn't even eat some heavy food, so she had to eat some light food. After half a month of this clear soup and low water, Feng Huali lost some weight.
Xu Xinhu sniffed the faint fragrance of tea and asked, "I heard that the palace people said that you are ...... with the emperor."
Feng Huali lifted the teacup, a large piece of heat hit her face, she nodded slowly, the heat smoked her cheeks slightly red. Although the date has not yet been decided, their feelings for each other have been decided, and Feng Huali finally does not have to deny it.
"This is a good thing, if I am bullied in the palace in the future, I will ask my mother to take care of me." Xu Xinhu said half-jokingly.
Feng Huali agreed, no matter what the other party said, he was the one who saved him, as long as he didn't do anything bad, of course he had to help him a lot. Feng Huali said jokingly: "As for Niangniang or something, it sounds weird, I feel more than ten years old all of a sudden." ”
The two talked about the old for a while, and Feng Huali finally couldn't help but wonder in his heart, and asked who lived in this palace. This palace also looks very gorgeous, how can the people who live in it be some powerful people, how can it be so empty.
Xu Xinhu smiled faintly: "It's just an abandoned palace." ”
I don't know how long we talked, but suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside, and then the moon flute appeared in her sight. Yuedi held on to the door frame, she looked at Feng Huali sweating profusely, and said anxiously: "My lord, it's not good, Concubine Qin is making trouble at the gate of our palace." ”
Feng Huali immediately stood up: "Concubine Qin? ”
Yuedi nodded: "She said that she wanted to get back the slave maid just now from you......"
Feng Huali sneered, presumably this Concubine Qin Niangniang was the master of the slave just now. I thought that Concubine Qin would not dare to come to the door in her palace, but I didn't expect her to be diligent, I am afraid that Ru Xin will not be long after she arrives in her palace, and Concubine Qin will rush there.
But a maidservant takes it so seriously, and she doesn't know what Concubine Qin is thinking. But now that she has accepted Ru Xin, Feng Huali is ready to help others to the end, she turned around and said to Xu Xinhu apologetically: "I'm really sorry, I'm still in a bit of a hurry, I have to go first." ”
Xu Xinhu looked at her worriedly, after all, she was only a female official now, and she didn't know if she would suffer a loss to deal with the so-called Concubine Qin. Xu Xinhu frowned and said, "Be careful." ”
After Feng Hua left, the worry in Xu Xinhu's eyes gradually receded, replaced by complete coldness. Xu Xinhu put down the teacup, and a weird smile rose at the corner of his mouth. Xu Xinhu raised his hand, his fingertips slowly swiped on the sandalwood, and the bits and pieces of his life suddenly appeared in his mind.
But all these beautiful things have been in the past, but they all came to naught overnight because of her. Xu Xinhu's fingers clenched together, he stared at the direction of Feng Hua's departure, and said slowly: "This is the place where you died." ”
At the same time, a faint wisp of black gas suddenly flashed under his eyes.
