readx;? When Concubine Yang heard this, she stood in place, her good-looking brows tightened, and then she took a deep look at Concubine Li and walked away. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Concubine Li leaned there, watching Concubine Yang's back move away little by little, and there was a trace of reluctance in her heart. She muttered in her mouth: "Sister Concubine Yang, you must believe my words, otherwise I am afraid that you will end up like me." Although I resent you in my heart, I always remember the simple times between me and you when I first entered the palace. It's a pity that time has passed, and we can't go back......"
Concubine Li slowly closed her eyes as she spoke, she leaned on Zizhu tiredly, she was too tired......
Zizhu supported Concubine Li's body motionlessly, listening to the conversation between the two of them, tears in her eyes. originally thought that Niangniang was good, but she didn't want to become weaker, is this the "return to the light" of folklore?
When she walked to the palace gate, Concubine Yang suddenly slowed down and couldn't help but look back: the bright sunlight sprinkled on Concubine Li, with a faint golden halo, which should have been a very beautiful and warm picture, but it was unprovokedly sour. Unable to bear it, Concubine Yang finally turned around and no longer had nostalgia.
Xiangming has been following Concubine Yang, and she noticed that Concubine Yang's mood was quite low, and she didn't dare to say much. It wasn't until a long time after coming out that Xiang Ming Fang whispered: "Niangniang, if Concubine Li's words reach the emperor's ears, it won't cause you unnecessary trouble, right?"
"What's the trouble?" Concubine Yang asked rhetorically, "She said that even if she said it? Who can prove that Bengong said those things? What's more, Bengong didn't say it bluntly to let her go when she was in Japan, but it was just gossip, and she herself was bent on becoming the queen, so she would go to ask the emperor to invite herself out of the palace regardless of it." Now, how can you blame Hongu for the incident?"
"Yes, that's what the mother said. All this is just Concubine Li's own fault!" Xiang Ming replied.
Concubine Yang paused slightly, hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's just that she just talked about that Doctor Su, and she seems to be quite jealous of her." The people who wanted to come to the palace didn't respond, and they thought they had already been killed. Speaking of which, it's really not to be underestimated!"
"Niangniang, do you want the slave to send someone to ...... again" Before Xiangming's words were finished, she was glared at by Concubine Yang.
Concubine Yang shook off her hand and reprimanded, "Stupid!"
"Niangniang...... "Xiang Ming hung her head and moved her body slightly uneasily.
Concubine Yang said in a deep voice: "The emperor is looking for her all over the capital, if we send someone to the emperor at this time, and it reaches the emperor's ears, this palace will not even be as good as today's Concubine Li! Even if that woman has a big life and escaped! I'm afraid that in addition to this palace, the concubine also hates her to the bone, and she is there, why are we in a hurry?"
"What the mother admonished, the slave and maid remembered. Xiang Ming said busily.
Concubine Yang stretched out her hand to her again, and Xiang Ming stepped forward to support her, and Concubine Yang softened her tone and said: "Not to mention that this woman doesn't seem to have any intention of entering the palace, even if she does, do you think that this queen's position is something that she can sit firmly in an ordinary woman? Let her enter the palace and enter the palace, it is better to clean up under her nose!"
Xiangming nodded and said, "When Niangniang said so, the slave and maid were at ease." When the slave saw you just like that, she thought you had listened to Concubine Li's words! Niangniang, don't pay attention to Concubine Li, she just can't eat grapes and says that grapes are sour!"
Concubine Yang sneered lightly: "Yes, why should this palace mind her dying words? She is just something that she can't get, and she doesn't want this palace to get it! She is stupid, so she thinks that this palace is the same as her? Then the position of queen shouldn't be what she wanted, so she naturally can't get it!"
Xiangming said thoughtfully: "It's great that Niangniang can think like this." Originally, looking at the palace now, except for Niangniang, no one is worthy of the position of queen!"
Xiangming's words were pleasant to hear, and Concubine Yang had a smug smile on her face.
And a long time after Concubine Yang left, when Concubine Li woke up slowly, Zizhu asked quite incomprehensibly: "Niangniang, why did you tell Concubine Yang about this today? Regarding her calculation of you, you should directly tell the emperor and let the emperor come up and punish Concubine Yang!"
Concubine Li shook her head slightly, and said weakly: "No one heard about the events of that day, even if the palace said it, the emperor would not believe it." What's more, now that the kings are rebelling, I am afraid that the emperor has long been taboo in his heart, so why should the palace be bored?"
"However, you said so much, Concubine Yang flatly denied it. Her advice, she doesn't think so. You should be recuperating now, why bother to block your heart?" Zizhu still didn't understand what Concubine Li was doing.
Concubine Li smiled faintly and said, "Deny it outright, or disagree with it, isn't this in line with Concubine Yang's consistent temperament? This palace is like this now, what else can you block yourself? If this palace also had such an indifferent state of mind that day, I am afraid that Concubine Yang's plan will not succeed." So, everything was brought on by Ben Gong, and Ben Gong admitted it himself!"
"Niangniang, the slave thinks you have spoken ...... past two days" Zizhu stopped, not knowing how to phrase it so as not to be rude.
"It's not the same as before, isn't it?" Concubine Li asked, seeing Zizhu nodding, she continued, "This is what this palace said, people are about to die, and their words are also good! Therefore, it is reasonable that Concubine Yang does not believe the advice of this palace. She is now proud, where can she hear such a harsh voice?"
Zizhu heard her say such unlucky words again, and hurriedly said: "Niangniang, don't always say such depressing words! Didn't the imperial doctor say it, you will definitely get better!"
Concubine Li waved her hand, looked at Zizhu and said, "The imperial doctor's comforting words, can this palace not hear it?" You don't have to comfort this palace, this palace's body knows it in your heart, but I'm afraid it's only been these two days." ”
"Niangniang......" Zizhu choked up to her.
"You don't have to be sad now, it's better to save your tears and wait for the palace to die, and then you can cry well!" Concubine Li said indifferently, "Originally, this palace was also taboo about this matter, but in the past two days, I suddenly thought about it." The emperor didn't like the palace in the first place, but now that such a thing is involved in the family, even if he doesn't die, he won't have a good life in the future. For this palace, it's just one thing if you don't die, and it doesn't matter. ”
Zizhu blinked, and a line of tears crossed her cheeks, dripping onto Concubine Li's hands.
Concubine Li's hand trembled slightly, as if she couldn't bear it. If there are still concerns, this girl must be one of them. I never cared, and I was reluctant to give up a servant when it came. So, the world is impermanent!
Concubine Li quietly looked at the precious tears on the back of her hand, but she was afraid that after she died, not many people would really cry for her. She watched the tears gradually dry, and then slowly spoke: "Zizhu, after the palace leaves, you will go out of the palace." Originally, the palace wanted to entrust you to Concubine Yang, but now it seems that this palace is still too naïve! You used to be a person from this palace, but I am afraid that no one in this palace can tolerate you!"
"Niangniang, if you leave, the slave and maid will also go with you! When you are alive, it is the slave and the maid who serve you, and you can't go alone after death! You can rest assured, the slave and maid will always serve you!" Zizhu said emotionally.
She was an orphan, she was still young when she entered the palace, so she started from the Huanyi Bureau, and she couldn't count how many beatings she suffered and how much she suffered. Later, due to fate, a lady in charge took pity, left the Huanyi Bureau, and began to be a rough maid. Until Concubine Li entered the palace, she was pointed out to Concubine Li again.
In the past, although Concubine Li was arrogant, she was still good to her subordinates. Especially when she went out of the palace with Concubine Li later, she gained a lot. If you really want to talk about it, the happiest time in her life was the past few years when she was by Concubine Li's side. Therefore, even if she was occasionally punished, she only feared Concubine Li in her heart, but did not complain.
Now, Concubine Li is so good to her, and she can't let her down! What's more, as she said, she is Concubine Li's person, and if she goes to other palaces, she is afraid that she will not have a good life. Rao was released from the palace, she has nothing to worry about, where can she go?
"Silly girl!" Concubine Li scolded him.
As the master and servant spoke, Concubine Li fell asleep again. Zizhu asked someone to carry Concubine Li into the dormitory together, and left her alone to take care of her. It wasn't until evening that Concubine Li was woken up by her, and at this time, Concubine Li was already weak, and it was difficult to even get up.
Zizhu held back her tears and wanted to feed Concubine Li medicine, but she pushed her away. Her voice was almost empty: "I don't want to eat...... This mouth is bitter, take candied fruit ......"
Zizhu took the candied fruit she loved to eat on weekdays, cut it into small pieces, and carefully fed her. In fact, she didn't eat two pieces, so she shook her head, saying that she didn't want to eat it.
"Zizhu, dress up the palace!" Concubine Li said again.
When Zizhu heard this, he hurriedly shook his head: "Niangniang, have you forgotten the advice of the imperial doctor?
Concubine Li shook her head and insisted: "It's okay, it's not okay if you don't use it, let's dress up this palace! Even if you die, this palace must die decently!"
Zizhu's heart was sour, knowing that Concubine Li probably couldn't stand it, so she was ruthless, so she went to the dressing table to get rouge gouache and dressed her carefully. When everything was in order, Zizhu took the bronze mirror, put it in front of Concubine Li, and said, "Niangniang, take a look, are you still satisfied?"
Concubine Li tried hard to open her eyes, looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and laughed slowly: "You are the most skillful in this palace, and you are naturally excellent in dressing up for this palace!"
Zizhu tried her best to suppress her crying and said, "That's because Niangniang is a beauty! So, no matter how you dress up, you are the most beautiful!"
Concubine Li listened, a faint smile appeared on her lips, she slowly closed her eyes, and said faintly: "This palace is tired......" With this voice, her head turned to the side and lost her breath.
The bronze mirror in Zizhu's hand fell to the ground in response, and she fell to her knees suddenly, crying loudly: "Niangniang...... Mother......
