Chapter Eighty-Six: The Old Heart

The Queen Mother pondered, "The mourning family has its own considerations for this matter. Today, you have worked hard to serve the mourners and take medicine. Let's go back early. ”

How could the slave not hear the queen mother's intention to chase away guests. She immediately got up and gave a blessing, "My granddaughter-in-law has retired, and I hope that the imperial grandmother will take care of herself, and I hope that the imperial grandmother's wish will be fulfilled as soon as possible." ”

After saying that, the slave stepped back. Out of Shoukang Palace, Nu'er happened to meet Concubine Shu and Princess Furou who came to visit the Queen Mother. Concubine Shu is still as beautiful as ever, but Furou has also become a beautiful girl.

"How is the crown princess lately?" Concubine Shu asked with a smile after making a flat salute. Originally, the crown princess was of a higher rank than Concubine Shu, but Concubine Shu was the emperor's concubine and the elder of the slave. So, she also returned a salute and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very good." Mingjia is also doing well. ”

"Seeing that you can be consummated after you get married, this palace is also relieved. It's just that I pity the Eighth Prince. Concubine Shu sighed, suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly stopped. turned to smile and said, "If Furou can marry a wishful husband like Niangniang in the future, this palace will also have comfort." ”

"Princess Furou is smart and clever, and she is the only princess under His Majesty's knees. In the future, I will promise a good family. Nu'er said, Concubine Shu mentioned this, but she was also afraid that Emperor An would go first, and the crown prince would ascend the throne, and she, the crown princess, would be able to treat Furou well.

Concubine Shu said a few more words and took Furou to Shoukang Palace. After they left, the smile on the slave's face suddenly disappeared.

"What's wrong with him?" The man in the slave's mouth is naturally the eighth prince Dongli Yuyang.

Xinmei hesitated, but still answered, "His Royal Highness is seriously ill in bed, and I heard that I can't get out of bed a few days ago." ”

Before he finished speaking, Nu'er had already run towards Xianfu Palace.

Xinmei hurriedly caught up, "Niangniang, you can't go!" ”

"The crown princess!"

The eunuch guarding the gate of Xianfu Palace couldn't help but exclaim when he saw the woman in Chinese clothes rushing in the distance. Thinking of the imperial concubine's order, I saw the woman in gorgeous clothes gradually approaching. He immediately turned around and entered the palace, hurriedly beckoning the eunuch and palace maid, "Quick!" Close the door! ”

Seeing that everyone stopped in place in confusion and did not move, the eunuch guarding the door became more and more anxious, "What are you doing in a daze!" Close the door, close the door! Otherwise, we'll all have to lose our heads! ”

As soon as they heard that it was a big thing to lose their heads, several little eunuchs immediately stepped forward and pushed the door. The woman in Chinese clothes, who was getting closer and closer, shouted regardless of her identity, "Don't close the door, don't!" ”

The little eunuch looked at the eunuch guarding the door, and saw that the eunuch at the gate shook the dust with a firm face. Immediately continue with the movements in your hands.

Seeing that the gate of Xianfu Palace was about to be closed, the slave ran faster and faster, and he didn't even know that a golden step on a moon branch on his head had shaken off. Closer, closer, just one step away. However, the door of Xianfu Palace slammed shut. Crisp and clean, without the slightest hesitation.

The slave kept patting the golden door knocker, "This palace is the crown princess, open the door to this palace!" Open the door! ”

"Niangniang, it's because you're the crown princess that you can't open it." Inside the gate, a eunuch replied with a sharp voice. The slave was stunned when he heard this, and the sound of slapping the knocker gradually weakened. She turned and leaned against the door, slowly crouching down, guilt and self-reproach filling her entire heart.

She wanted to see Dongli Yuyang so much. Good people don't deserve to be treated so cruelly by God. He should live in good health, do what he wants to do, and travel the world at ease.

Is it my fault? Nu'er always feels guilty and blames herself in her heart when she thinks of Dongli Yuyang, but she doesn't regret it, if she goes back to the past, she will still choose this way.

Originally, she wanted to do her best to protect him, to carry all the blood and sins on herself, and just wanted to give him an environment where he didn't have to worry. When Xinmei said the word "seriously ill in bed", she suddenly found that she could calculate everything in this world but she couldn't win alone.

I don't know how long it took, but the door behind me slowly opened. Wan Ting, who was waiting beside Emperor Rong's concubine, walked out slowly. She saluted to the slave, "The crown princess, the imperial concubine is invited." ”

The slave got up in a daze, and was about to enter the door when Xinmei stopped her. She sighed helplessly, she knew her master best. Once something is decided, it is that the nine cows can't pull it back.

So, she just stood on tiptoe and put the foot shake that had just been left on the ground back for the slave, and she tidied up the placket for the slave, "Niangniang, you must always remember that you are the princess of the East Palace, and don't do anything out of the ordinary to fall into the hands of others." ”

The reminder of the new eyebrows made Nu'er Daigo empowered, and her thoughts slowly turned. She knew that Xinmei wanted to remind her that there was a rumor when she stepped into Xianfu Palace, and there was another rumor when she saw the Eighth Prince. But she still stepped into the Xianfu Palace without hesitation.

Walking into the side hall of Xianfu Palace, Emperor Rong's concubine was sitting on the desk writing at the moment. The slave knelt down on one knee, folded his hands on the lower left, and made a standard greeting.

"Mingjia greets the imperial concubine!"

Emperor Rong's concubine raised her head and glanced at the slave who was kneeling on the ground, and sneered, "Today's Mingjia County Lord is already the incomparably noble princess of the East Palace, and among the women of Great Xia, one person is above ten thousand people. The crown princess should get up, your courtesy, this palace can't afford it. ”

Her tone was sarcastic. As the biological mother of the Eighth Prince, how can she not complain?

Originally, the eighth prince had a good future, even if the eighth prince refused to fight, at least he would be a first-class and honorable prince in the future. However, just because of a woman, not only did he become a shameless person who coveted his brother's wife in Emperor Yuan'an's heart, but he was ridiculed by the world and became a joke in the market. It also made him suddenly seriously ill, coughing up blood, and couldn't even get out of bed.

In her heart, Nu'er is a woman who is in the twilight of her life.

The eighth prince who seduced her at the beginning made him haunted. In a blink of an eye, he married the prince in a beautiful way. If she really flew away with her son, at least the world would think that they were in love, and Emperor Yuan An was the one who made the mistake. However, she married the crown prince smoothly, leaving Yuyang sad in vain, making the world think that it was wishful thinking on the part of the eighth prince and that the eighth prince coveted his younger brother's wife.

turned the originally wise and well-known Eighth Emperor into a shameless villain.

How can Emperor Rong's concubine be willing?

The slave knew that she was wrong, and she was uncharacteristically full of anger on her body, and she still knelt on the ground and never got up.

"The imperial concubine can afford it, it is Mingjia who owes Xianfu Palace."

Emperor Rong's concubine threw away the pen with a snap, and she laughed angrily, "What the crown princess owes is not Xianfu Palace, but the son of this palace!" He is still lying in bed and vomiting blood every day. The future is gone, but his life can't be lost. Hongu is such a son! ”

"Wei Nu'er, you can't afford to repay his affection, why did you accept Kunlun Eye in the first place? And why give him hope in vain? Do you know that your indecisive feelings are the most sad than outright rejection? ”

Emperor Rong's concubine poked her heart every word, and the slave opened her mouth to say something, but found that she couldn't say anything at all. It was she who was wrong. When she didn't know what liking was and what love was, she thought it was like just because she was unconsciously close to her heart, but she didn't know that it was just a person born in darkness who yearned for light.

What she wants to get close to is not Dongli Yuyang, but the warm sunshine where Dongli Yuyang lives.

The slave looked up, and there was already a trace of white hair between the temples of the originally beautiful imperial concubine, and the thick fat powder could not hide her red and swollen eyes and fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. She lost a lot of weight, and the palace clothes that originally fit were too big. The jade bracelet on her wrist also seemed to slide off as long as she lowered her hand.

The slave spoke hoarsely, and all she could say was three words, "I'm sorry." ”

"Can a word of sorry erase your affection for my son? Will a word of sorry make my son's body better? Wei Nu'er, this is not enough. This palace wants you to gouge out your heart to see if this heart is red, or if it has been smoked black by power and interests. Is it that even the blood on your body is black. ”

"In the end, I owe my mother, I owe him." The slave smiled bitterly and took off the golden hairpin in her hair, and stabbed it into her heart without hesitation.

Emperor Rong was stunned.

The pain hit her, making the slave unable to kneel straight, she gritted her teeth and pulled out the golden hairpin, blood gurgling out and soaking her clothes.

She asked, "Is that enough?" ”

Emperor Rong looked away silently.

The slave looked at the bloody golden hairpin on his hand, and stabbed it into the heart again, this time more crisply and deeper than the last time.

"Is that enough?" She asked again, her tone visibly weaker.

She pulled out the golden hairpin again, and the pain spread down her heart to her brain, making the slave's body shiver. The blood flowed even more violently, and even the corners of the slave's mouth slowly oozed blood.

Emperor Rong's concubine didn't look at the slave who almost fainted in pain, she raised her head slightly, obviously the slave's move was not enough to relieve the hatred in her heart.

Blood dripped from her fingers and fell to the ground, and the slave raised her hand with difficulty, about to stab her for the third time.

The originally closed door was kicked open heavily, and Dongli Yuyang's face turned pale, and the corner of Fang Cai had used all his strength. He finally got rid of the eunuch and palace maid's obstruction, but he didn't expect to see this scene. He walked in almost with a strong breath, his steps vague, as if he would fall in the next moment.

The slave wanted to stand up and help him, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't stand up, so she could only sit on her knees and look at him in a daze.

Emperor Rong's concubine hurriedly stepped forward to support Dongli Yuyang, and scolded the palace maid and eunuch behind him, "Who allowed His Royal Highness to get out of bed!" Who brought him here! ”

The palace maid and eunuch knelt on the ground, and no one dared to say more. Dongli Yuyang weakly held his mother's hand, "Mother, it's the son himself who wants to come." They dare not stop it, and they can't stop it. The concubine shall not punish them. ”

Thousands of attempts to stop him from seeing this woman, Emperor Rong's concubine glanced at the slave with hatred, and helped her son to walk forward slowly, "Mother help you sit down." ”

Who knew that Dongli Yuyang gently pushed away the hand of Emperor Rong's concubine and knelt down at her feet, "My son is sick, because I am not in good health." He glanced at the slave, and his eyes were very desolate.

"It has nothing to do with her, please don't embarrass the princess."
