Chapter 10: The Dry Rain of the Early Sun on the Leaves (2)
She just came to repay the favor, and she shouldn't have thought anything wrong at all. This time in life and death, she has already understood what wishful thinking is. So what she wants to do now, what she wants to do, is only one thing: find out the truth.
And the man on the dragon throne, he already has the world, and he also has three thousand harem beauties, and he is no longer the one who needs her at all. Instead of provoking him with disgust and hatred, it is better to leave as soon as possible. Three months, maybe not three months.
Peony sighed, holding Liang Yue's arm and carefully leading her out. Outside the door, the little eunuch had already taken the brazier and the replacement of bed sheets and bedding, and as soon as they left the dormitory, they changed the things in the inner hall, thoroughly cleaned and burned the things that Liang Yue had used.
Because of the wound, Liang Yue walked very slowly, and he could feel the flames jumping behind him. It's obviously a hot thing, but it makes her back cold. Something cracked in my heart, and it hurt numbly.
There are many majestic palaces, red walls, gold bricks and jade tiles. And that man finally sat in the position he wanted, controlled the world, and got rid of all the disobedient. It's just that her title for him has been upgraded from master to majesty. And the distance between the two, which was not close in the first place, has been completely far away since then.
"Auntie, I haven't thanked you yet." Liang Yue suddenly remembered, gently raised her hand and patted the back of Peony's hand, and said softly with her eyes: "If it weren't for you, Liang Yue would have died in the dungeon at that time." ”
Peony smiled slightly and said, "Liangyue, do you know why there are so many female dependents in the palace, and I have helped you alone?" ”
Peony has served Xuanyuan Zili since he was a child, and is naturally the most trusted person by him. And his temperament is also well-known for not being cold and fair, no matter how coercive and tempting the female relatives are, they have never helped anyone for half a point. But Gu Liangyue, who has only been in the palace for a year, has helped her many times.
Why? Liang Yue was also very strange, thinking and asking, "Is it because I don't have a self-interested heart?" ”
Peony smiled and said, "This is one of them." ”
"My first master is the original virtuous concubine and the current queen mother. The Queen Mother treated me very well, and I could be considered to be able to help a little, and I accompanied her step by step from a small waiter to the position of a virtuous concubine. And it happened that at that time, the fifth prince Xuanyuan Zili was born. ”
Peony helped Liang Yue sit on the edge of the bed in the cleaned room, and smiled and told her some things from the past: "I also watched the fifth prince grow up, he has been very smart since he was a child, and he is the favorite prince of the first emperor." It's just that Concubine Xian's background is not high, and she can't help the prince too much, the fifth prince relies on his own ability, and at the age of fifteen, he was crowned king by the first emperor and given the territory. ”
"Niangniang was happy at that time, but once the prince was crowned king, he wanted to build another palace. Concubine Xian was not at ease, so I invited myself to accompany the prince and serve with me. Niangniang is better at ease. ”
"The prince doesn't like women, but he is not very repulsive, when he was eighteen years old, the emperor gave several side concubines and concubines, and the prince did not refuse." Peony said, raising her eyes to look at Liang Yue: "Do you know why the prince made you a princess?" ”
Liang Yue pursed her lips and nodded slightly.
Of course she knew, he had told her long before she got married: "The princess's seat, I want the person I want to sit on." However, the situation is forced to replace you. When the time is ripe, I will set up my beloved. ”
To put it bluntly, it's just that she is a commoner, and it will be much easier to abandon her in the future than the princess who was married by the previous emperor, so he tried his best to block the public from making her a concubine.
It should be very sad to put it on others. The princess who replaced her made a wedding dress for others. It would be sad for a person who is discarded after using it to accidentally fall his heart on that person again.
Thankfully, she wasn't sad, not at all.
Peony sighed and said, "At the beginning, the prince welcomed you back, and I was also very strange. But then I learned why, and I started to watch you. People say you're arrogant and cold, and I thought so at first. Until you came to the tea room that day. ”
She was making tea that day, but accidentally burned her hand, and the little maids hurried to ask for a doctor, but saw Liangyue passing by the door with an expressionless face. During the ceremony, Liang Yue saw her, and also saw her scalded hands, her expression did not change, she just walked straight over and handed her an ointment, then brewed the tea, and left without saying anything.
She stayed for a long time at that time, and she couldn't see the purpose of this master, so she still served the tea to the prince. However, she didn't say that it was brewed by Gu Liangyue, but she got a sentence from the prince: "Peony, your tea art has improved." ”
"At that time, I was stunned, and I began to be more curious about you. I want to know what the unbeatable princess they call is like. ”
Peony couldn't help but laugh: "Rumors are really the most unbelievable thing, they can turn black and white upside down and confuse right and wrong." When I saw you exit from the prince's study dressed in black, and went back to the room to take medicine by yourself without saying a word, Liang Yue, I think I was not mistaken. You are the only one who will not do anything to harm His Majesty for your own benefit. ”
"And my peony will definitely treat you well because of your kindness to Your Majesty."
