507.Chapter 507
He stood in the doorway with his hands folded, and when he stood there at such a small courtyard gate, it was as if the whole outside world was cut off from me.
But at this moment, he could never be separated again.
More and more people came out from behind him, and those who were looking forward to Shenfei's soft and touching eyes couldn't be suppressed at this moment, revealing almost frightened eyes, as if they had seen a ghost, and as if they had seen a fierce beast without any cover, and they didn't know when they would pounce on them and bite their throats.
Shen Rou's ruddy face because of pregnancy turned pale in an instant, and her eyes stared at me as if they were about to burst out of their sockets, and Lu Xinrong and Zhu Fanghua had already lost their voices and shouted: "Ah, it's her?!" β
There was a commotion in the crowd.
It seems that I have disappeared in front of their eyes for more than three years, but not many people have forgotten me like this.
I sat at the door, looking at me like a trapped beast in a cage, but at this moment I didn't mind myself, I just raised my head indifferently, so that everyone could see me more clearly, and my eyes were the first time in all these years that I saw so many people in the sun.
Nangong Lizhu, who looked uncertain, Shen Rou, who was pale and stunned, the concubines who were panicked, and even Zhaoyi Liu Li, who was standing at the farthest point of the crowd, also showed a surprised look on her face that was accustomed to indifference, looked at me, and then looked at the people around her.
In the crowd, the only one who can still maintain his composure is the emperor.
Pei Yuanhao's face was very cold, with an extra solemnity in the cold, as if there was something contradictory and entangled in his heart, but the queen beside him was only downright cold, and even the moment he saw me, there was no ripple in his autumn eyes, just calmly holding Xiao Nianshen's little hand, looking at me as if he had seen a landscape.
Perhaps, the only joy is the child she is holding.
Xiao Nianshen seemed to be very happy, so many people came to see me, looked up at his father with hope, looked at me again, and grinned at me.
"This, what's going on? How could she still be alive? β
"Yes, didn't she jump into the river and die?"
"Why- this, this can't be a ghost, right?"
Lu Xinrong They couldn't believe their eyes, and said in horror, Nangong Lizhu listened to these words, snorted coldly, and when he looked at me again, his expression was also a little uncertain.
Her belly is already very large, standing behind the emperor still looks very spectacular, her body is also very well-nourished, her chin has become rounded, from the beauty of the fairy-like peerless appearance in the past to the current round and jade, not every pregnant woman can do it, the loose long skirt does not make her look bloated, but there is a mature charm.
This woman, no matter what time it is, will not make herself sad.
And Shen Rou next to her, her belly is not so big, and her figure is quite beautiful, but she is also surrounded by a large number of people who hug her back and forth, her gorgeous clothes are full of pearls, like a fairy concubine, standing with the first beauty of the Celestial Empire, it is not too inferior, but it is gorgeous and moving.
With such a pair of delicate concubines, the emperor's life should be very good.
And I looked up at him, but there was a sarcastic sneer in my heart.
So many women stood at the door looking at me, everyone had wonderful expressions on their faces, and their thoughts were different, but no one spoke, the whole cold palace was so quiet that I couldn't even hear the sound of breathing, and after a long time, it was finally Shen Rou who spoke first: "Your Majesty, she isβ"
"I came today to sue you that she is still alive."
Pei Yuanhao opened his mouth coldly, and the faces of the people around him changed a few times.
It's one thing to see it, but it's another thing to hear the emperor say it himself, the emperor can let me "die" for more than three years, and now a word can also bring me back to life.
How shocking is my "life" to the entire harem?
I still sat there cold, not moving at all.
Shen Rou's face was more ugly than others, not many people knew about my secret meeting with her at the beginning, but now I seem to be completely out of the range of her control, no wonder she is so surprised.
She thought for a while, then reluctantly made a smile and said: "This woman committed a mortal crime at the beginning, and she should have been executed to set an example. β
As soon as Xiao Nianshen heard the words "Mortal Sin", he was stunned for a moment, and immediately panicked, raised his head and said to Pei Yuanhao: "Father, Grandma, she is a good person." β
Pei Yuanhao frowned slightly and looked down at him: "Oh? β
Looking at his appearance, he can't see joy and anger, but the child's intuition is as sensitive as an animal, Xiao Nianshen still trembled a little unconsciously, but he still insisted and said: "Father, grandma told me a lot of principles about being a human being. Last time, my grandmother taught me that I should be a man who is 'not happy with things, not sad with myself', didn't my father praise me? Grandma also told me a lot of things, the aspirants do not drink the water of the stolen spring, and the incorruptible do not drink the food that comes from the mouth, and the queen mother said that these are very good truths. Grandma, she's not a bad person, she's a good person. β
"Oh?" Pei Yuanhao raised his eyebrows and looked at Chang Qing, Chang Qing stood there very calmly, with a faint expression and temperature on his face, and he couldn't see the slightest throbbing, Pei Yuanhao turned his head to look at me again, and Shen Rou and Nangong Lizhu, who were standing behind him, didn't know how many times the expressions on their faces had changed again.
"Good guys?"
Lu Xinrong listened from behind, and suddenly sneered: "This woman can also be called a good person?" Do you know the eldest prince that she wasβ"
Before he finished speaking, Pei Yuanhao turned his head and glanced at her coldly.
That glance made Lu Xinrong's words swallow back, she was so frightened that she took a step back, hurriedly lowered her head and didn't dare to speak again.
Xiao Nianshen glanced back with some confusion.
It was Chang Qing, who stretched out her soft hand and gently flicked Nianshen's little face, making him turn back, Xiao Nianshen looked up at her, and heard Chang Qing say softly: "Don't listen and watch, make your father angry." β
"Oh...... Erchen got it. β
Chang Qing raised his head again and looked at Pei Yuanhao, and said calmly: "Since Yue-since she is still alive, the emperor let the concubines and others know her current situation today, I don't know what the emperor plans to do with her?" β
Pei Yuanhao was silent for a moment, and waved his hand: "Open the door." β
As soon as these words came out, Nangong Lizhu's face immediately changed: "Your Majesty, she-she's a madman, if you let her out-"
"Maniac?!" When the people around heard this, they were all startled, and Shen Rou also looked at me with a slight surprise.
But at this moment, I just sat calmly in the doorway, and I looked more like a normal person than those people were frightened, and I didn't see the slightest hint of the madness I once had.
Pei Yuanhao said: "It's okay. Go open the door. β
The trembling grandmother who had been following behind could only walk up slowly, glanced at them, and then groped out the key and walked over.
At this moment, I saw Nangong Lizhu and Shen Rou involuntarily glancing at each other, although the two of them have been fighting for all these years, at this moment, the anxiety and worry in their eyes turned out to be exactly the same.
Wooden fence, was opened.
When the ladies opened it, they stepped aside and knelt down again, and I slowly stood up in front of them.
Because of sitting for too long, my legs have been sore and numb, and I can't stop calling, I can only reach out and hold on to the door frame, barely straightening myself up, but I didn't say anything, and I didn't go out immediately, just stood by the door, looking coldly at the group of people in front of me.
The snow is white, and the world in front of me is so white, but I know how dirty it is under the snow, as in front of me.
This was the first time in two years that I stood in the sun completely, and for a moment I was a little overwhelmed by the light, and I stretched out my hand to block it.
As soon as I raised my hand, several people took a slight step back.
I sneered.
Chang Qing said calmly: "The emperor released her, does he plan to continue to stay in the palace, orβ"
As soon as she said this, Nangong Lizhu and Shen Rou's faces became ugly at the same time.
Pei Yuanhao kept looking at me, his eyes didn't even blink, and just as he was about to say something, he heard a voice from a distance outside the small courtyard-
"The Queen Mother has arrived!"
Dowager!
This group of people was all confused at this moment, no one thought that the Queen Mother would come here at this time, even Pei Yuanhao's face changed for a while, and he suddenly opened his eyes wide and turned his head to look at me.
Without waiting for anyone to react, the familiar figure had slowly walked along the path.
And at the end of the trail far behind her, I saw a figure flashing by, and soon, but in the past two years, she may have been my only sustenance, so I saw it very clearly, it was Mama Qian who took good care of me in the cold palace at the beginning.
She nodded at me slightly, then flashed behind the rockery and disappeared.
At this time, the Queen Mother had already walked to the door.
Time doesn't seem to have left any traces on her body, she is still wearing a blue-gray simple robe, still a face as calm as ice and snow, and even the faint scent of sandalwood on her body has not changed, of course, it is not that there has been no change, her demeanor is more cold, and there are more wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, but this does not seem to affect her once glamorous grassland style.
The Queen Mother walked to the courtyard and stood still, her pale face was almost the same color as the ice and snow, and when she looked at me, although her eyes were faint, they also revealed a kind of compassion.
"Girl, you're still alive."
I carried my unclean skirt, slowly walked out of the door, walked down the steps, stepped on the cold snow, and immediately a cold air rose up, so cold that my heart trembled slightly, but it was the first time in two years that I knew that I was still alive.
I slowly knelt down: "Minnu, meet the Queen Mother." β
Pei Yuanhao's face became gloomy at this moment.
And the corners of my mouth hooked up a sneer that I could barely even notice-
Do you think that I will really be released by you, check and balance your harem for you, go to be with those two women, and continue to be your woman?
