Chapter 60: Bitter Lovesickness

Chinese Looking at Su Liuying, who was uneasy, Ning Guifei smiled lightly and said slowly

"Since Anguo Temple, I have found that you are much smarter and more meticulous than ordinary palace maids, and even the main palace is inferior to you." Hearing this, Su Liuying was startled, and fell to her knees in fright and said in fear

"Niangniang praises falsely, this time it was all the wisdom of Niangniang and Sister Fei'er who found out the real murderer, and it has nothing to do with the slave and maid at all......"

"If it weren't for you to find out Qinghui, and if you hadn't mentioned the string of rosewood Buddha beads in her hand, how could Bengong and Fei'er find out the real culprit and avenge my child!?" Ning Guifei smiled disapprovingly

"So, this time, you are indeed indispensable. However, this palace is a person who knows how to repay kindness and knows how to make good use of people. All the unpleasantness between me and you before, this palace will forget everything. I want to make another deal with you! "The hall of Hande is obviously as warm as spring, but Su Liuying's whole body seems to be gathered in the snow, and it is cold!

She looked at Ning Guifei who was approaching her step by step in shock, and looked at the look of determination on her face, and couldn't help but want to flee - the last time she promised to help Ning Guifei find out the real culprit who murdered her miscarriage, firstly, because of the compromise with her in desperation.

Another point is that she blamed Yu Fu for this crime and harmed his life, and she has always had a disturbed conscience in her heart, wanting to find out the real culprit and return him to innocence, which can be regarded as atonement for herself...... But don't think sincerely, one wrong step, one wrong step.

Since the first transaction with Ning Guifei, she has stepped into the struggle in the palace, and it is no longer possible to close her feet...... Trying to speak, she said carefully in a hoarse voice

"What deal does the mother want to make with the slave?" Ning Guifei took a silk handkerchief and affectionately helped her wipe the cold sweat from her forehead, and said coldly

"Do you know, what are the two things that women in this deep palace can rely on the most?" The silk handkerchief used by Concubine Ning was made of the best Yunjin from Shanggong in Jiangnan, and her skin was soft and silky to the touch, but Su Liuying felt like a cold poisonous snake slowly crawling over her face...... She lowered her eyes and whispered

"The slave is stupid, please show the mother!" Ning Guifei personally pulled her up, her eyes passed through her, calmly looking at the heavy snow flying outside, and said coolly

"In this harem, only the imperial heir and power are the best and most permanent reliance. What emperor's love, what harem's favor, are all passing clouds, and as soon as the wind blows, they disperse ......"

"The slut who harmed my son, if she hadn't had five princesses and let the emperor spare her a cheap life, do you think she still has a life? And it is precisely because she only gave birth to a princess, and there is no prince by her side, so she will be demoted to a concubine, and even the lowest change of clothes has not been left to her...... "Ning Guifei is a smart person, she found from Chen Zhaoyi's defeat so miserably, only by having a prince in this harem can she add an extra guarantee to herself."

And the power-her eyes were cold, she looked back at Su Liuying fixedly, and said in a deep voice

"You 'died' and came back to life, and you entered the palace regardless of the danger, if this palace is not mistaken, you entered the palace for your father's case four years ago." Su Liuying's heart tightened, and her face turned a little pale, but she couldn't argue with words.

"If you can help Bengong regain the power of the harem and take over the palace, Bengong promises you that it will do everything in its power to help you re-investigate your father's old case, and it will no longer stop you from being with Lou Shizi. When the power of the middle palace is in hand, the palace will not only protect you, but also give you freedom when you leave the palace - this deal, do you think it is still a good deal!? "I can't say it, the conditions given by Concubine Ning are very attractive, as long as she helps her regain the power of the Middle Palace, she can achieve many wishes in her heart.

But-now that the power of the harem is in the hands of Queen Lou, if she agrees to Concubine Ning, she will be the enemy of Queen Lou, and the enemy of Queen Lou is also the enemy of Lou Yue!

Regardless of Queen Lou's gentle temperament, she is in charge of the middle palace, and the entire harem is also calm and peaceful, benefiting everyone.

Lou Yue also rescued her several times, and she shouldn't take revenge. The most important thing is that the power of the middle palace is so easy to change hands.

It's not that she, a little palace maid, can interfere with the change! Su Liu's eyes showed doubts, she couldn't believe that Ning Guifei trusted her so much, and she entrusted such a thing to herself.

She looked at Ning Guifei with an indifferent face in horror and said in a panic

"The mother is too uplifting a slave...... But the slave maid is just a small sweeping palace maid in the bureau, and the power to shake the power of the middle palace? Therefore, please also ask the mother to take back her life, the slave is really ......"

"Hongu believes in you!" Stopping her words, Ning Guifei looked at her fixedly, her eyes were firm and unquestionable, and she said word by word

"Even Mama Lan, who has never given face to the harem concubines, favors you very much, and boils sugar water for you with her own hands, as soon as you hear that you are in the prison and brave the snow to see you, can you still say that you are just a palace maid with a small bureau?" Shocked when she heard this, Su Liuying realized that her every move was under the control of Ning Guifei, and she took a fancy to herself, not only because of her wit, but also because she wanted to win over Mama Lan.

However, she had only dealt with Mama Lan twice, so how could Concubine Ning be sure that Mama Lan would help her and stand on her side?

But no matter what the reason is, Su Liuying will not agree to this deal. She said solemnly

"Thank you Niangniang for your love, but the slave maid just wants to be a sweeping palace maid quietly, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Niangniang!" After that, she saluted Ning Guifei and left, leaving without looking back.

"Don't you want to find out the truth about your father's case sooner?" Ning Guifei's cool words made Su Liuying's footsteps stagnate, and her next words made Su Liuying's whole body fall into the ice cellar-

"So far, do you really think that this palace doesn't know that Yu Fu's matter is a bureau set up by you?" Turning around, she looked at Ning Guifei with a pale face, her whole body trembled slightly, her lips moved for a long time, but she couldn't say a word.

Looking at her description, Ning Guifei hooked her lips and smiled proudly, and said coldly

"If you agree to help this palace, don't say that Yu Fu has a life, even ten Yu Fu died in your hands, and this palace is willing to take care of you. But if you can't be used by the palace, then, if you murder Yu Fu, as well as the great crime of deceiving the emperor, the palace will naturally handle it impartially. Hearing this, Su Liuying's heart was cold and desperate - she knew that from the moment she used musk to harm Yu Fu, she had fallen into this deep palace, and she was getting deeper and deeper...... suppressed the chill in her heart, and when she looked up again, the expression on her face had returned to her previous coldness, and a pair of autumn eyes looked at Ning Guifei above, gritted her teeth and squeezed out a smile

"Since the mother is raised, the slave and maid naturally dare not disobey. It's just that the slave maid has been yearning for the Dragon Pavilion for a long time, and I wonder if the mother has a way to let the slave and maid go in to get a glimpse of the true face? Seeing her respond, Ning Guifei was overjoyed and smiled

"In seven days it will be the New Year, when the emperor will lead the concubines of the harem and the princes and ministers to the temple next to the Longtu Pavilion to worship, and then you will go with the palace." The New Year is coming soon, the palace is full of lights, and the palace people have also been given new palace clothes, and they are not happy to wear new clothes for the New Year.

Su Liuying still swept the palace road day after day, thinking about the temple on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

After entering the palace for more than a year, she had wanted to enter the Longtu Pavilion countless times to find the file of Daddy's case, but she couldn't get close to the heavily guarded Longtu Pavilion, and now Ning Guifei agreed to take her in, she was both excited and nervous.

When the Criminal Department arrested Daddy, it was said that the evidence of Daddy's collaboration with the enemy and betrayal of the country was conclusive, but later she went to Beixian and risked her life to meet the King of Beixian.

The king of Beixian personally told her that Daddy regarded Beixian as an enemy and had never cooperated with Beixian...... So, she was curious about what was the evidence of Daddy's collaboration with the enemy and treason?

In the blink of an eye, it was the palace banquet of the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and Su Liuying and the palace man Yin Shitou of the bureau began to arrange the palace banquet for the evening of the Chengqian Palace, and they were busy until the end of Shen Shitou.

On the way back to the bureau, someone suddenly shouted on the side of the road

"Xiaoman!" I hadn't heard this voice for a long time, and Su Liuying's steps froze slightly. The next moment, she turned around and saw that it was Lin Yan, who she hadn't seen for a long time, standing in the snow with an oil umbrella waiting for her.

Looking at the snow on the edge of his umbrella, he must have been waiting here for a long time. Since Yunling said goodbye, Lin Yan resigned and went home to recuperate for a long time under the pretext of being unwell, but he was actually avoiding Su Liuying, and he didn't have the face to see her again.

Although he was not on an errand in the palace for the time being, and he deliberately avoided thinking about her to see her, the news about her continued to enter his ears, such as her assassination in Anguo Temple, the turmoil of divorce with Li Xiu, and the news about going to prison, all of which reached Lin Yan's ears without leakage.

The more I don't see it, the more I miss it! So taking advantage of the New Year, Lin Yan finally mustered up the courage to see Su Liuying.

Taking two steps closer, Su Liuying looked at his emaciated face, and felt all kinds of bad in his heart. She smiled lightly

"It's been a long time since I saw you, I heard that you weren't feeling well a few days ago, but now you're fine?" Lin Yan's heart, which had been silent for several months, came back to life in an instant when he saw the indifferent smile on her face.

He didn't dare to look directly into her bright eyes, and lowered his head and blushed

"Alright...... How have you been? โ€

"I'm fine." Su Liuying knew that he had entered the palace with his father to attend the palace banquet, and the hour was not early, so he said

"The palace banquet is about to start, you go quickly, don't miss the hour."

"Little Man......" Lin Yan looked up at her and said with difficulty

"Do you still blame me in your heart?" Lin Yan has always been obsessed with the affairs of Yunling, so he has always thought that Su Liuying still blames her.

Although what he did at that time was biased and disappointed Su Liuying, she didn't blame him for a long time.

She laughed

"It's been so long, I've forgotten it a long time ago, and I'm going to blame you there?" Hearing her say this, Lin Yan's heart, which had been suffocated for too long, finally got a breather, and a hearty smile appeared on his face again, and he took a food box hidden behind him to her, and said

"Today's holiday, I specially brought you dishes from Bianzhou...... You open it up and take a look, but what do you like to eat? Hearing that it was Bianzhou cuisine, Su Liuying was very surprised, but she couldn't wait to open the lid.

On the top of the box is a bowl of sweet and sour carp and a bowl of bird's nest vegetables, but on the lower level is a whole bucket chicken that she liked to eat most when she was in Bianzhou, as well as red braised mutton, plus a plate of crystal clear red bean cake.

Looking at the food box full of familiar dishes, Su Liuying was very moved, and she couldn't help but think of the reunion time with her father and mother in Bianzhou, thinking of being alone now, her eyes instantly turned red.

She lowered her head and choked in her throat

"Thank you!" Lin Yan's eyes kept looking at the plate of red bean cake nervously, and he was uneasy - when he bought this plate of red bean cake, he was extremely entangled in his heart, knowing that it would bring back her bad memories, but thinking that this was her favorite pastry, he still bought it...... Su Liuying's mind was subtle, and when she saw that his gaze stayed on the plate of red bean cake, she would not understand what he was thinking.

So in front of him, he picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth, put away the sadness in his heart, and laughed while eating

"Delicious!" Seeing this, Lin Yan's heart finally let go completely. He happily handed the food box to Su Liuying and said with a smile

"I'll go back to the hospital on an errand in the next year, and I'll bring you delicious food when I'm free in the future." After that, he said goodbye to Su Liuying, and didn't forget to stuff the umbrella in his hand to her.

Su Liuying went back with a box full of food, thinking that she could open her heart to Lin Yan and regain friendship, and then thought that with these good dishes, she could have a good year with Sui'er, and she couldn't help but feel a rare joy.

She went back with the food box, and just entered the yard, but saw Nanshan standing at the door with two big food boxes in her hand and stomping her feet.

As soon as he saw her, Nanshan happily helped her carry the food box into the house, ignoring the surprised eyes of Su Liuying and Sui'er, and brought out the sumptuous dishes inside and laid them out, and said with a smile

"This is the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner specially prepared for you by the master. This Bianzhou dish was specially made by a chef recruited from Bianzhou a few years ago. And thisโ€”" Nanshan took out a delicate little box from his bosom and said

"This is a New Year's gift from you. Keep it up. Thinking of her sister's misunderstanding of herself that day, Su Liuying instinctively didn't want to ask for Lou Yue's things anymore.

She didn't reach out to pick up the small box in Nanshan's hand for a long time, and said worriedly

"Will Concubine Su enter the palace with the prince tonight?" Nanshan nodded and said

"There is a big banquet in the palace, and Concubine Su naturally wants to accompany her master into the palace together." Su Liuying also wanted to ask his sister if she was angry after returning to the Criminal Department that day, but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed silently, turned around and went to the cabinet to take out a beautifully embroidered purse, and said with a shy face

"This is a little gift from my sister, please see my sister, help me give it to her." Nanshan took her purse, stuffed the box in her hand into her hand, and asked her seriously

"What about the gift?" Hearing Nanshan ask for a gift for his master so bluntly, Su Liuying's face suddenly turned red, and her hands pinched the hem of her clothes uneasily.

Seeing her like this, Nanshan already knew it in his heart, and sighed silently

"I see. Eat well, I'll go back on an errand. "A big table full of food, plus what Lin Yan gave her, couldn't be placed on the square table.

As soon as Nanshan left, Sui'er's whole body relaxed, looking at a large table of exquisite and sumptuous food, and sighed with satisfaction

"It's good to be with you. It's a good year to be. Not as happy as Sui'er, Su Liuying looked at the small sandalwood box in her hand, and her mood was extremely heavy.

Sui'er leaned over and looked at the box in her hand, curious and envious

"Quick, open it and see what good things the prince has sent you?" After hesitating for a long time, Su Liuying finally opened the box gently.

A small sandalwood box sits a pair of delicate and small gold silk jade plum pendant earrings. Looking at the style and the color of the jadeite, it is even more precious than the golden jade hairpin he gave her last time.

Su Liuying's heart trembled, she knew that the preciousness of gold silk jadeite was rare, but she didn't expect that after he gave her an incomparably precious flower hairpin, she sent herself a pair of earrings, and then remembered the missing package, and her heart was inexplicably tightened.

"Wow, what beautiful earrings!" The golden silk jade earrings shine brightly under the reflection of the lights, and the two plum blossom pendants are like fresh and delicate flowers blooming under the plum tree, lifelike and dazzling!

Sui'er was amazed and couldn't help but say with envy

"Take advantage of the New Year, put on such beautiful earrings quickly, with new clothes, you really want to compare the women in this palace......" Compared with Sui'er's envy, Su Liuying's heart was extremely heavy and bitter - the misunderstanding between her sister and Lou Yue in the Criminal Department last time has not been eliminated, if you let your sister know that Lou Yue gave her such a valuable gift, I am afraid that my sister's misunderstanding of her will be deeper...... Therefore, she couldn't ask for these pair of earrings and the things that Lou Yue had given her before.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of the missing package, and she couldn't help but panic and panic. Putting the earrings away, she turned her head sideways and smiled bitterly at Sui'er

"Let's eat. The dishes are going to be cold...... "Fireworks are set off in the palace every Chinese New Year's Eve, so when it arrives, the palace people come out of the house one after another, waiting to see the rare liveliness of the year."

After Sui'er is full, go to the porch early to take a good seat and get ready to watch the fireworks. Su Liuying stayed in the room to clean up the table.

At this time, passing by a few palace maids, standing at the door of Su Liuying's house, they glanced inside, and when they saw the sumptuous meal on the table that Su Liuying hadn't had time to clean up, they couldn't help but be jealous, and deliberately said to Su Liuying with their voices

"Sister Xiaoman, have you heard that the emperor has officially set the wedding date of Princess Rongqing and Lord Li at the palace banquet, which is the eighteenth day of the first month." The hand that cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks trembled, and the saucer in his hand fell to the ground and fell apart.

Before Su Liuying could come back to her senses from the piercing shattering sound, the other palace maid saw her little face that turned pale in an instant, and she only felt extremely relieved in her heart, and said coldly with her hands

"It's pitiful to think about my sister, a while ago, Lord Sima risked death for her sister, and even more so because my sister refused to seek medical treatment and take medicine. But in the blink of an eye, I still have to marry Princess Rongqing. Sister, are you sad in your heart? "Sad?

Su Liuying's heart was numb and unconscious for a moment, she couldn't hear what they were saying, and her eyes were also foggy, and her mind kept thinking about what they asked herself-Li Xiu is really going to marry Rong Qing, is she sad?

From leaving the Li Mansion that day to being locked in a prison cell, Su Liuying thought a lot, and clearly presented her and Li Xiu's acquaintance to love and stay together.

Li Xiu is the first man she loves with all her strength in her life, and he is also the man she wants to marry, and he is the man who can't wipe him out from her heart after four years of painful ordeals...... Every year, she makes a bamboo flute for him with her own hands.

Whenever she dreamed of pain and despair in the middle of the night, she hugged the bamboo flute and relied on the sound of his clear flute in her memory to let herself sleep peacefully.

Just like in the past four years, Li Xiu painted her on drawing paper, and engraved the bitter lovesickness in his heart in his own way...... These days, she deliberately forgot him, forgot his handsome face and gentle words, and did not dare to think of the sweet times and the vows she made when she was together.

Perhaps, she thought, she could forget about him completely...... However, today, when the decree was made, and there was no turning circle, she was shocked to realize that her heart was completely torn in half, and the desperate grief that had been hollowed out of her heart spread to her whole body, and the pain was so painful that she was suffocating her breath...... She squatted down to pick up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, the sharp porcelain pieces cut her fingers with a light touch, blood gushed out, and the pain on her fingertips came to the bottom of her heart...... She desperately wanted to make the gap bigger and more painful, so that her suffocated heart could breathe.

The unfree lord held the porcelain piece into his palm, and let the sharp porcelain horns scratch the palm of his hand ...... bloody 'Bang!'

The first fireworks were lit in Unmengdae, and after a loud sound, fireworks fell in the dark night sky like meteors, attracting cheers from inside and outside the palace.

The people of the whole capital walked out of their homes and looked at the high platform standing high in the north of the palace. The emperor and queen led the concubines and ministers of the harem out of the Chengqian Palace, climbed the high city tower, and accepted the congratulations of all the people.

The monarch and the people are happy and share the peace of this prosperous world! The loud sound shook Su Liuying's heart, and the brilliant firelight shined through the window lattice, illuminating her hands full of blood and tears on her face.

She got up from the ground in a daze, stumbled out of the door, and walked all the way to the bottom of the castle. On the high city tower, in the center stood Emperor Huicheng and Queen Lou, and beside them stood the concubines of the harem in turn, as well as princesses, princes, princes and nobles.

Among the crowd, Su Liuying saw Li Xiu at a glance. He was dressed in a silver-patterned brocade robe, with a posture like jade, standing side by side with Princess Rongqing on the right hand side of Queen Lou.

The men are suave and graceful, and the women are delicate and moving, standing together like a pair of wall people. His handsome face loomed in the flames, and the bamboo flute she gave him hung around his waist.

Su Liuying looked at him greedily with her head up, and tears gradually blurred her vision...... The city tower was so high, but Li Xiu sensed her hot gaze and couldn't help but look back.

The eyes of the two met in the air, as if they were separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and as if they were just a finger away...... Li Xiu on the city tower looked at the thin and weak figure under the city tower in disbelief, however, before he could take another look, the figure that he thought about day and night had disappeared, as if the nostalgic gaze that had just left him was just a phantom of his momentary extravagance - when his family carried him behind his back, he was so cruel to her when she was most lonely and desperate.

And she broke her oath and eventually married someone else's woman, how could she forgive the Li family and forgive herself?

๏ผ Li Xiu, who stood quietly against the night breeze, his thin and handsome face was calm, but his heart was full of wind and snow, and his quiet eyes were dark and gray, remembering that day when he saw Su Liuying being held in Lou Yue's arms, his heart was uncontrollable...... Cat flutter Chinese
