Chapter 64: Zhaoyi Jing's Clan
In the blink of an eye, Li Xiyue's body was already well. originally thought that she would not be able to spare Li Ziyan easily, and she would make a fuss no matter what. But she seems to be fine, every morning and dusk, she is not negligent at all, and her temperament is becoming more and more quiet and introverted.
Chu Sheng was ashamed in his heart, and eight or nine out of ten in January stayed in the Moon Reflecting Palace. only suffered Li Ziyan, although Li Xiyue did not embarrass her, but there was a gap between the two, living in the same palace, looking up every day and not looking down, I only felt extremely embarrassed.
This morning, Li Xiyue slowly paced back with her slender hand, and heard someone calling her from a distance, so she stopped and looked back, but saw that Rou Zhaoyi, who was the head of the nine concubines but had already fallen out of favor, was holding the handmaid's hand with a flattering smile and rushing to this side.
Li Xiyue frowned silently, and covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief. Holding back the unhappiness in his heart, he forced out a smile and asked, "Rou Zhaoyi has something to do with this palace?" β
Xu is in a hurry, Rou Zhaoyi's chest rose and fell slightly, she stood still and exhaled heavily, and stroked her chest twice with her hand, before she opened her mouth and replied: "Niangniang is walking so fast, the concubine is chasing you all the way, but she is a little out of breath, it seems that Niangniang's body is really good!" β
Li Xiyue was disgusted in her heart, this Rou Zhaoyi's real name was Jing Xue, although she entered the palace in the same year as herself, she had no friendship. In addition to herself, she was indeed the most favored back then, but the emperor favored her for a few years but gradually forgot about her, and later never set foot in the Jade Snow Palace where she lived.
Jing Xue saw that Li Xiyue was stunned, and called softly: "Concubine Xian Niangniang......
Li Xiyue came back to her senses, took a step back slightly, and replied in a deep voice: "Rou Zhaoyi said that she laughed. β
Rou Zhaoyi has a pair of beautiful eyes, and when she smiles, her eyes are extraordinarily quiet, like a spring breeze like catkins, looking forward to brilliance, and there are all kinds of charms!
At this moment, her glass-like eyes were looking at the person in front of her with a smile, she lifted her hand from the handmaiden's hand, and took advantage of the situation to help the pearl cui on her head.
Li Xiyue noticed the peacock on her head swaying, holding a huge pearl in her mouth, and seeing that the color and size were mostly the Eastern Pearl of the feudal kingdom. It's strange to say, although Chu Sheng has refused to see her in private all these years, he has never lost a cent in terms of treatment, and even this Dongzhu has been given to her by more than a minute.
Thinking of this, Li Xiyue was puzzled, but in the end she showed a good face.
Rou Zhaoyi put her hand down, I don't know if she took a step closer intentionally or unintentionally, and said softly almost close to Li Xiyue's ear: "Niangniang, the concubine has something to say to you......"
In the Moon Reflecting Palace, Xianping watched the master's face and waited carefully. Li Xiyue was sitting upright on the main seat of the main hall, and the next head Rou Zhaoyi was talking about some innocuous little things.
Just when Li Xiyue felt bored and secretly laughed at her heart, Rou Zhaoyi covered her mouth with a handkerchief and cleared her throat, and then said: "Niangniang, there is something that the concubine has been holding in her heart for a long time, and after thinking about it, I still have to say that I know with you. β
Li Xiyue turned her head to look at her fixedly, but Rou Zhaoyi was not timid, she still looked back at the person above with a smile.
After a while, Li Xiyue finally asked, "I don't know what Zhaoyi is talking about?" β
"The concubine thinks there is another hidden secret!" As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was shocked.
Li Xiyue glanced at Xianping, who was busy leading the people who were waiting in the hall.
Jing Xue didn't care, picked up the snow-white Ru porcelain tea house on her side, took a sip lightly, and said with a smile: "In the Niangniang Palace, even the tea is really better than others!" β
Li Xiyue didn't want to talk nonsense with her anymore, so she asked straight to the point, "What do you mean by what you just said?" β
Jing Xue put down the teacup, raised her eyes and glanced at Li Xiyue, sneered, and replied, "Don't worry, Niangniang, the concubine will tell you!" She lowered her head and straightened out her slightly wrinkled skirt, and then said: "It's just that this matter has nothing to do with the concubine, if the concubine says it for no reason, I'm afraid that the mother will not only not believe it, but also blame the concubine for talking nonsense!" β
Li Xiyue saw that she was reluctant to elaborate, and her heart became more and more curious, and now that she saw her say this, she knew that she must want some benefits. Just wanted to open her mouth to ask a few questions, Jing Xue preemptively said: "Actually, the matter has passed, and the mother doesn't have to care too much, it's just like this if you know it or not!" β
Since the miscarriage, Chu Sheng deliberately kept his mouth shut about it, and the people around him didn't dare to mention it, Li Xiyue couldn't bear to think about it, and now let others sprinkle salt on her bloody wounds, and she instinctively wanted to vomit blood, she clenched her fists tightly, gritted her teeth and barely pressed down the emotions stirring in her body, and asked slowly and in a low voice: "What do you want?" β
Seeing her like this, Jing Xue knew that she couldn't do more stimulation, otherwise it would backfire and be bad!
Rou Zhaoyi put away her playful face and said seriously: "What is the woman in the palace asking for, does the mother still want to ask the concubine?" β
"This palace knows, if there is a chance in the future, I will not forget Zhaoyi! Now you can tell you everything you know! β
Jing Xue smiled faintly and said, "Then the concubine will believe in Niangniang once!" In fact, I don't expect Li Xiyue to be able to support herself, saying that she knows but deliberately betrays her a favor, she has endured enough over the years, if you say retribution, it will be the end!
Li Xiyue nodded and waited for Jing Xue to continue. The latter changed to a comfortable sitting position, and continued: "Coincidentally, the concubine happened to pass by the imperial pharmacy that day, thinking that the pearl powder in the palace was running out, so she went in to ask for some. As soon as he entered, he saw a small eunuch decocting medicine, and he was startled when he saw the concubine. Asking him is also a distraction, the concubine felt that this person must have a ghost, so she asked Xiaolian to find a henchman to star, Niangniang, guess what? β
When Jing Xue said this, she deliberately stopped like a pass. Li Xiyue naturally knew what she meant, so she also followed her words and asked, "What's wrong with the little eunuch?" β
Jing Xue saw Li Xiyue's anxious appearance, and continued with satisfaction: "It turns out that the little eunuch is frying fetal pills, who wants to drink fetal pills in the entire harem at that time?" β
Jing Xue stopped again when she said this, stared at the shocked face of the person in front of her, blinked, and continued: "Sure enough, it didn't take long for a palace maid to come and take back the fried fetal pills. That night, the news of the mother's miscarriage came! β
Li Xiyue listened to it in her ears, only to feel that the sound around her gradually disappeared, but her body became colder and colder, as if she had returned to the night when the child was gone. Beads of sweat dripped down her smooth sideburns, she closed her eyes and resisted the dizziness that hit her, and her nails were pinched into her palms but she didn't feel the pain.
Jing Xue saw that her face turned pale all of a sudden, and she closed her eyes again, afraid that she would make a mistake, so she hurriedly called: "Niangniang~~Niangniang~~" Seeing that she still didn't react, she continued ruthlessly: "Doesn't Niangniang want to know who made people fry the medicine?" β
When Li Xiyue heard this, she opened her eyes, widened her eyes and asked in a trembling voice, "Who is it?" β
Seeing that she finally opened her eyes, Jing Xue shook her head and said: "The concubine doesn't know, the concubine also sent someone to investigate, but she couldn't ask anything, and in the end, even the little eunuch was missing, and there was no way to find out!" β
Li Xiyue was weakly depressed, waved her hand and said to the lower head: "You go back first!" β
Jing Xue hurriedly stood up, bent her knees and said, "Niangniang has a good rest, and the concubine is now retiring!" β
On the way back to the palace, Jing Xue's personal palace maid Xiaolian pondered for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Niangniang, why are you going to go to this troubled water?" β
Jing Xue smiled dismally, her good-looking eyes were full of disdain, "This palace is just to make them uneasy, and the troubled waters of the harem are not bad for me!" β
After Rou Zhaoyi left, Xian Ping, who had been waiting outside, went in and saw Li Xiyue's face startled. Hurriedly walked to the master in three steps, and asked softly, "What did Zhaoyi Niangniang tell you?" Why is the mother's face so ugly? Do you want to send a doctor to take a look? "
Li Xiyue waved her hand, "No need! Hongu's body is fine! Then he told Xian Ping the news he got from Jing Xue, and at this moment, Li Xiyue only felt that her brain was in pain, and she couldn't tell which of Rou Zhaoyi's words was true and which was false, and she had no ability to think.
After listening to her, Xian Ping carefully considered it, and said carefully: "The slave maid thinks that what Zhaoyi Niangniang said is true, and this matter has nothing to do with her, and in the end, she only said that she didn't know who did it, and it wouldn't be a deliberate blame for nothing!" β
Li Xiyue nodded, "Then what kind of person can make Zi Yan desperately help him cover up?" In the end, she only said that the bowl of fetal pills was fried by her own hands! β
Xian Ping's eyebrows furrowed slightly when he heard this, and said, "Thisγγγγγγ The slave couldn't guess either. β
"Okay, you go out first, let me think about it alone!" Li Xiyue said with one hand on her forehead.
Seeing this, Xian Ping couldn't bear it, opened his mouth but could only shake his head, and promised "Okay!" "Walked out!
Li Xiyue sat alone in the main hall, the early spring sunlight shining in through the window, looking up, countless fine dust were rolling in the light and shadow. Li Xiyue suddenly felt that she was as insignificant as this dust, and who among the people in the harem was not like this!
She smiled self-deprecatingly, the emperor's faintness and fluttering may disappear at any time like this sunshine, if there is a blood relative, it is better than the misery of floating alone, but it is a pity that her child is gone in such an unknown way! When she thought of this, she felt a little breathless, and hatred burst out through her body. She always hid and endured in front of people, not daring to think about it, but whenever she was left alone, this chill wandered uncontrollably among the hundreds of limbs, forcing her to bear it over and over again. Bear this purgatory-like suffering on earth.
