The emperor waved his hand and motioned for the people around him to go out, just as Li Yu came up with a warm towel, and the emperor took it himself, wanting to wipe her sweat. Yi Huan unconsciously avoided his hand, the emperor was a little embarrassed, but he still reached out to wipe it for her, and said softly: "On a hot day, why is it a cold sweat?" ”

Li Yu saw that the situation was not right, and quickly retreated. Yi Huan's hands trembled a little, and he wanted to speak, but his eyes were red first: "Your Majesty, are you sincere in treating your concubines like this?" ”

There was a thin mist in the emperor's eyes, which made it impossible to see the background: "How can you ask such a good question?" ”

His tone was warm as usual, and he couldn't hear a trace of anything unusual, and even Yihuan was puzzled, could it be that what she knew was not true? So he simply asked: "Your Majesty, what is the fetal medicine you have given your concubines over the years?" ”

The emperor took a folding fan on the table and shook it slowly: "Of course, the fetal medicine is the medicine that makes you pregnant, otherwise how could you have a child with me?" ”

Yi Huan's heart softened, and he immediately said: "But the concubine asked someone to ask in private, and those medicines are not fetal pills, but medicines that make people not get pregnant after sleeping." She widened her eyes in confusion and said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, otherwise, how could a concubine get pregnant after stopping the medicine intermittently, and she has never been able to get pregnant after taking it before?" ”

The emperor lost his mind for a moment, and Fang said lightly: "The words of the traveling doctors outside are not enough to win trust, the palace is full of imperial doctors, isn't the medical skills of the imperial doctors inferior to them?" ”

It's just a moment of speechless condensation, which has fallen into Yihuan's eyes. She shook her head desperately, and her tears couldn't help but fall: "Your Majesty, the concubines also want to know." The outside of the palace are also famous doctors, why is their mouthpiece different from that of the Tai Hospital? In fact, since she became pregnant with the tenth elder brother, the concubine has always wondered, why did she have a child after repeatedly taking fetal pills before and it didn't work, but she stopped taking the medicine and had a child? And why is the tenth elder brother weak and weak, and the concubine is also weak when she is pregnant? Isn't it because this fetal medicine has been taken for a long time and hurt the body? ”

It was as if a roll of ice waves surged down suddenly, shocking and chilling, the emperor was speechless. After a while, his sigh was like an autumn wind sweeping through the fallen leaves: "Concubine Shu, why bother to get to the bottom of some things, thinking too much, just increasing your pain in vain." ”

Yi Huan stumbled under his feet, as if he was shocked to the extreme, and he couldn't believe it to the extreme. "Getting to the bottom of it? It turns out that the emperor is also afraid that his concubines will get to the bottom of it! Her tears rolled down silently, mixed with deep sourness and unspeakable hatred, "Then allow the concubine to get to the bottom of it again." The emperor has been hypocritical to his concubines for many years, and has repeatedly refused to allow his concubines to get pregnant, is it because the concubines are from the Yehenala clan? ”

The emperor accepted the folding fan and fell heavily on the desk, and his expression was a little more cold: "Concubine Shu, who are you instructed by my side, do you really not know when I am here?" Even if the Queen Mother recommended you to serve me that day, I can be ignorant of you, but the words you advised me to marry Mongolia for the sake of Hejing and Rou Shu, you and the people behind you are clearly revealed. ”

The pain in Yi Huan's eyes was like broken ice floating with the waves, he didn't stab others, he hurt himself first. "The emperor decided that the concubine was the daughter of the Yehenara clan and the enemy of the Aixinjue Luo clan, so she would be at the mercy of others and murder the emperor? So guarding against concubines and tabooing concubines to such an extent? ”

The emperor said in a deep voice: "It's okay with the Yehenara clan, it's not that I don't know. You are the person chosen by the Queen Mother for me, and you have always been by my side, what is your intention? ”

The sun's light and shadow leaked through the window lattice. The emperor's originally long back was stretched to the old elder, and it was obliquely reflected on the gold bricks on the ground. Her heart ached suddenly, and the pain was worse than the moment when the child died in her arms. It was as if all the accumulated wounds had been completely ripped open and fiercely sprinkled with new salt.

Yi Huan hugged his arm tightly, as if he couldn't support it, and said sadly: "Although the concubine was chosen by the Queen Mother to give to the emperor, the Queen Mother has to carefully dislike the emperor's likes and dislikes. was able to accompany the emperor, and the concubines were sincerely grateful to the queen mother. But even so, it does not mean that the concubines will be pointed out by the Queen Mother. The concubine's heart for the emperor is true! All these years, doesn't the emperor know? ”

A trace of suspicion flashed in the emperor's eyes, and the smile on his lips was like a sharp sword scraping bones, which made people feel cold. He sneered and said, "The Queen Mother has been in the deep palace for many years, how could she train a woman who is sincere to me to accompany me, how can she do things for her and speak for her?" It's not just you, it's Concubine Qing or Concubine Mei, even if it's the Concubine Jin sent by the Fucha clan, it's just that. ”

Yi Huan's tears condensed on her cheeks, she wiped them away, she didn't care about the makeup, and a wipe of lip grease condensed under her chin, like a poignant blood stain. She said hatefully: "What a powerful emperor, such a calculating queen mother!" You mother and son are competing with each other, what are you going to do with me going in? I am innocent of a daughter's family, and I thought that I could be by the side of my beloved man because of the queen mother's recommendation, so sometimes I am willing to say a few words for the queen mother. But I am only dedicated to you, the emperor, but I have become a pawn in the dispute between your mother and son in vain, ruining my life, and even my children cannot be saved! She stared at the emperor, as if she wanted to find out something from the bottom of his heart, "Then the emperor, since you are so suspicious of the queen mother, you can abandon people like us like us, why bother with the snake, you have to make a pampered appearance, it is disgusting!" ”

"Disgusting?" The emperor changed color and said calmly, "Aren't you also happy to enjoy my grace in it?" The Queen Mother likes me to pamper you, so I will pamper her! Also tell her to rest assured! He said coldly, "Life is like a play, and everyone is just a play." ”

Yi Huan was silent for a moment, and finally sneered, the laughter was like frost and snow covering the ice lake, and it was cold to the bone: "It turns out that all these years have been wrong!" Only I was still in the dark, thinking that I would treat the emperor wholeheartedly, and the emperor would always treat me with some sincerity. It turned out to be wrong, it was all wrong! ”

She was in the snow-white and blurred tears, looking at the twelve carved ancient ebony black wood grass entwined branch screen, with a large cluster of peonies around the mouth of the pearl of the beast, the screen is the fine ink jade carefully carved hollow, branches and vines, a flower and a leaf, all lifelike, there is a couplet at both ends of the screen, is a dark ink mixed with gold powder, a book "harmony for a long time", a book "Fangchen Ruyi". What a good greeting it is, as if everything in this world is going well, and the full moon is spent for a long time, but it turns out to be just a dream, and it is just a cold void of mirrors and flowers.

The emperor's gaze was like a cold pool, like an abyss, and there was a bottomless cold: "Concubine Shu, you are wrong." Your fault is that you shouldn't have sought the so-called truth. A lot of beauty lies in not knowing, why do you need to ask me? Since you ask me, and you don't want me to lie to you, you are asking for trouble. ”

Yi Huan only felt that his body was light and fluttering, and the emperor's voice seemed to be in the extreme distance, ethereal and close, and the ups and downs sank into his ears. Yi Huan trembled all over, as if he was greedy for the white snowflakes when he was a child, and insisted on holding it in his hand for a long time. When the snow melted, I grabbed another handful, and it was cold to the tip of my heart. She forcibly supported a blessing, and smiled miserably: "The emperor is right." It is the fault of the concubine, and the concubine is guilty. It was a concubine who shouldn't have been, and when the emperor returned from the mausoleum that year, she fell in love at first sight. It's a concubine...... It's all the concubine's fault. ”

She turned abruptly and walked away with a vague step. Li Yuhou was by the door, looking at the emperor with some concern, and said tentatively: "Your Majesty, ...... the emperor"

The emperor didn't care: "That's it." This is what Concubine Shu wants to hear, don't pay attention to it. Just look at her, and don't go to others to talk nonsense. ”

Yi Huan didn't know how he returned to the spring rain and comfort. It was as if the soul was still in the Fangbi bush, but the body was wandering back unconsciously. She dismissed the palace maids who accompanied her, locked herself in the palace, and turned out the emperor's imperial poems that had been copied over the years.

has been by the emperor's side for many years, and he has always been gracious. Yi Huan is not a woman who is good at inviting favors, although she knows that she is beautiful, maybe the emperor only loves her beauty. But after so many years of day and night, he tolerated his outspokenness and arrogance, and always thought that he was sincere. For these sincerity, she also deeply admired him, his handsomeness, his talent, and his demeanor. The man above 10,000 people, who cared deeply for herself, was only behind him, and copied the poems and texts he had written for many years as a treasure.

But it turns out that he is just living in lies and deception, tired of himself and his children.

She smiled stupidly, lit the candle in the bright day, and lit the stack of poems that had been carefully arranged for many years, and had to be completely recopied even the slightest incompleteness, one by one, and burned them on the candle flame. She lit one, and threw one, whether on the gauze tent or on the drapery.

Tears poured down and dripped onto the burned paper, raising even more flames. She ignored the flames burning her slender fingers like spring onions, and only looked at the black flames of fire butterflies flying all over the hall, with crystal tears on her face, and said mournfully: "Now I am wrong, and my heart is sad." Red tears are secretly drooping, and his eyes are full of spring breeze. Knowing this, there was no plan later, and he forced the happy period. A farewell, falling pear blossoms and the west. She smiled stupidly, "Now I know that I was wrong...... It's all wrong! It's all wrong! ”

She sang over and over again, as if singing about her drunken and dreamy life, and she was happy.
