On the second day when Xuan Ye returned to the palace with all the concubines, the holy decree came down.

Ministry of Rites, Feng Empress Dowager's Ci Decree, Imperial Concubine Tong Jia's Family, Filial Piety, Shuyi Su. Raise all the sons and be extremely gracious. Today, it is sick and endangered. I deeply regret it. should be immediately made a queen to show favor. Chin this.

Rumors spread in the palace overnight, and some people said that after the imperial concubine was sealed, it was the beginning of the doom of Concubine Yi and others. When the imperial concubine recovers from her illness, she will be the master of the harem of the Qing Dynasty, and the concubines who were not on good terms with her in the past will inevitably be suppressed.

And some people said that the imperial concubine was already seriously ill, and the queen was just pitied for her hard work over the years, and she was overjoyed. Whether it will really survive this catastrophe is still unknown.

On the night of the decree, Chun Xi entered the Chengqian Palace without concealment.

Seeing Tong Ruofei who was lingering on the sickbed, Chunxi suddenly felt a little pity for her.

But I haven't seen it for a few days, and the noble imperial concubine, the future queen of the Qing Dynasty, has become ill like this.

"I originally wanted to torture you for some time, but I didn't expect you to be so vulnerable. So quickly, it became like this. "Chun Xi with a little regret.

Honey came from outside the door, and when she heard Chun Xi say this, she was busy solving her doubts for the master: "I heard the guard guarding the door say that as soon as Concubine Hua returned to the palace yesterday, she came to Chengqian Palace and talked for a while, and it didn't take long for the imperial concubine to fall ill." ”

"It's only been a day, and you can't get out of bed?" Chunxi got closer, and Lian Xue rushed over to stop her, but was restrained by Mu Hui, who came with her, pulled away, and pushed out the door.

"Our master wants to talk to the imperial concubine, nothing to do with you, stay and go." Accustomed to seeing the appearance of the shelf, he was pushed by himself this time and fell to the ground, so he was not embarrassed. In the past, Lian Xue was the most favored female official by Tong Ruofei's side, and she was the aunt in charge of Chengqian Palace. Although Mu Hui is the same as her in terms of rank, in fact, because of the different positions of their masters, they are also different.

Lian Xue has been by Tong Ruofei's side for a long time, so she naturally has a little temper. I didn't dare to attack in front of my master, but in front of others, I didn't have a good face. Over the years, there have been countless people who have been beaten and scolded by Lianxue, and Mu Hui is also one of them.

Once, because of the collision with Tong Ruofei, Tong Ruofei was displeased, and Pixue secretly stumbled and caught Mu Hui's mistake, but Mu Hui was punished for a long time. Mu Hui has always remembered this, and Chun Xi naturally remembers it.

"You deceive people too much." Lian Xue was angry, got up from the ground, and rushed towards Mu Hui.

Mu Hui was not afraid, looked at Lian Xue and said, "Sister Lian Xue didn't bully people at the beginning, can't you stand this little grievance?" ”

Seeing that Lianxue no longer spoke, Mu Hui smiled and walked away.

In the room, Chunxi sat on the stool next to the bed, her eyes staring at Tong Ruofei all the time. His face was pale, and he could not see a trace of blood.

Such a Tong Ruofei has never been seen before.

"Should I call you the Imperial Concubine or the Empress now?" Ulva said gently.

Tong Ruofei looked tired, she didn't want to deal with her, and understood that she came over tonight just to humiliate herself. I didn't expect to be able to say such a thing from her mouth.

"You...... What do you mean? Tong Ruofei's eyes widened, and he forced himself to sit up.

Looking at her movements, Chun Xi smiled unconsciously, and said with a bit of sarcasm: "What? It seems that you don't know yet? That's right, the decree probably didn't come here. If who doesn't know today, what about the Tong family's daughters? She didn't even know. ”

Tong Ruofei was a little unconvinced, and denied himself: "How come? You lied ......"

"Isn't that what you've always dreamed of? Be the queen and become the most noble woman in the Qing Dynasty. "The dream came true, but Tong Ruofei didn't believe it, how ironic. Looking at her like this, she only felt funny, and said, "How many years have you been in the palace?" Twenty-two years? Or twenty-three years? Or longer? From the time you entered the palace, did you dream of being a queen? It took ten years to finally find the opportunity to kill Empress Renxiao and get out smoothly. It took another four years for Empress Xiaozhao to die of illness, and finally there are no more concubines in this palace who are higher than yours. But there's one more me. How many years have we been fighting? It's been almost 14 years since the day I entered the palace. It's so tiring, every day worrying about the days and calculating people's hearts. What about you? Tired? ”

Tong Ruofei should have been immersed in Chunxi's words after she was canonized, and she didn't hear her later words at all. Chun Xi also found out, but she still talked to herself.

"The Tong family will not decline, it will only become more and more powerful. It's just that the future honor and disgrace of the Tong family has nothing to do with you. This huge Chengqian Palace should be the bond of your life. You'll never live in Kunning Palace. ”

Xu heard the three words of Kunning Palace, Tong Ruofei finally sobered up, sat up with his body propped up, and was about to pull Chunxi's hand.

Chunxi skillfully dodged and asked her softly, "What?" ”

I only heard Tong Ruofei's faint voice: "This palace wants to see the emperor." ”

"The emperor has been back in the palace for two days, and the edict has also been issued, and tomorrow is the canonization ceremony. But he won't see you. Chun Xi recalled that in the Qianqing Palace, when Xuan Ye mentioned Tong Ruofei, what was the sentence? Oh, by the way, she remembered, and she repeated to Tong Ruofei: "You don't have to see each other in this life." ”

Tong Ruofei's heart was cold, and she originally held a glimmer of hope. It's normal for the palace to go up and down one after another, but if you fall out of favor today, and tomorrow you will run out of means, and you will eventually turn over. Besides, there is the entire Tong family behind her.

Hearing Chun Xi say this, he remembered what Tong Ruohua said when he came yesterday. The Tong family probably gave up on her, even if they couldn't bear it and didn't want to, they wouldn't support a woman who was rejected by the emperor. Xuan Ye didn't want to see her again, would she have to die alone in this Chengqian Palace for the rest of her life?

No, she doesn't want to, and her self-esteem definitely doesn't allow it. She is a woman who stands tall and is the most noble woman in the Qing Dynasty. She has been canonized, and she wants to be the mother of the world. Where is the imprisoned queen? She can't stay here, she has to go to Kunning Palace, which is the residence of the queen, not the Chengqian Palace where the concubine lives.

Chunxi watched Tong Ruofei struggle to get out of bed, watched her fall to the ground, watched her crawl towards the door, and watched her shout without listening: "Pity Xue...... Ni Hai, ...... Fuben Palace to Kunning Palace. From now on, the main palace is the owner of the Kunning Palace, and the main palace will move over today...... Reliant Snow ...... Come on in......"

Lian Xue, who was stopped by Mu Hui outside the door, wanted to rush in several times, but she couldn't resist Mu Hui's block. She couldn't beat Mu Hui, so she could only give up and kneel on the ground, crying helplessly, and replied over and over again: "Niangniang, please wait patiently, Kunning Palace is cleaning up, and the slave maid will move in with Niangniang early in the morning." ”

"Good...... It's a good ......" Tong Ruofei smiled with satisfaction, and said: "With you here, the palace will rest assured, and help the palace to rest." The palace should take care of its body, and move to the palace early tomorrow. ”

"Why bother?" Chunxi stood up, approached Tong Ruofei, and squatted down beside her. Gently holding Tong Ruofei's jaw between his right fingers, his cold voice was piercing: "I know that you can't get out." Chengqian Palace is heavily armed, and Kunning Palace is still deserted. If you can't get out, no one will live in Kunning Palace. When the emperor drafted the holy decree, he said that the last master of Kunning Palace was Niu Hulu Wanyue. At that time, Sister Yun was still grateful, but she was happy. Tomorrow's canonization ceremony, you are indeed the queen of the Qing Dynasty, but you are not the master of Kunning Palace. There, you will never be there. ”

Tong Ruofei glared at Chunxi fiercely, kept shaking her head, and didn't know whether to tell herself or defend her, her weak voice made Chunxi so close to her that she couldn't hear what she said.

"Enjoy these last days." Chun Xi let go of her hand, and didn't want to listen to her rebuttal anymore, it was just expectation, not a fact. People always think about the good side of things, but ignore the essence.

Tong Ruofei was stunned, she stopped talking, and looked at the ground with blank eyes. The ears kept repeating the words before leaving, the last time?

Tong Ruofei suddenly understood why they defeated her so easily, and why they didn't worry that she would fight back. It turned out that they had never given her a chance to do it all over again.

As long as a person lives, there is hope. Even if it is slim, as long as you don't give up on yourself, there will always be a day when you see the light of day again. But if a person loses his life, nothing can be done.

From the day she was sent back to the palace, her body was consumed little by little. Not only was her heart hit, but also her diet, and everything in the Chengqian Palace was torturing her last breath.

"Mother." Lian Xue stumbled in and saw Tong Ruofei lying on the ground, her heart like a knife. When had she ever seen Tong Ruofei so embarrassed?

"Go back to bed and rest, Ming'er will move to Kunning Palace." Lianxue whispered.

Tong Ruofei was at a loss, she looked at Lian Xue, and said in despair: "No need, that is a place that the palace will never be able to reach." I didn't have that kind of life after all. ”

"Nope." Lian Xue shook her head and denied: "As long as the mother is better, the slave and maid must want to escape from the Chengqian Palace and bring the emperor to see you." When the time comes, everything will be solved, Niangniang is still noble, and the master of Kunning Palace will only be you. ”

"No, they won't let me live until the day I recover. Just like back then, this palace would not let Jingjia and Wanyue live. They blocked the way of the palace, why didn't the palace block the way of Concubine Yun and Concubine Yi? Tong Ruofei gradually woke up, some things and some dreams did not belong to him, and it was still empty after all.

"Did the mother give up like this?" Lixue wept bitterly.

Tong Ruofei asked Lian Xue to help her to the table, prepared a pen and paper, and wrote every word with difficulty.

She can't fight after all, but she won't let these people who humiliate her feel better. Since she can't afford to move back into the situation, let someone who has the power do it.
