Chapter 3 The Demon Concubine of the Troubled Country

But I didn't show up.

On a spring morning, I tumbled down from the low wall of the palace and happened to fall into Yuan Yi's arms.

"What is the matter with the cornices and walls in the palace?" He asked me.

I blinked my eyes and replied with a smile: "The red apricot is making trouble, concubine...... Go steal spring. ”

I missed my appointment, but Yuan Ming waited a whole day because of this.

Yuan Yi dotes on me, treasures are like flowing water, money is like sand blowing, they all say that the whole world is not the king's land, and I really believe it now. Even if the poor starve to death, these gold and silver treasures will not reach our pockets, and the emperor will only have to hook his hands, that is, to probe for things and catch turtles in urns.

I am a good student, and I have learned everything that Fu Guang taught me in those ten years. False and wronged, acting on the spot, weak, cunning, alert, and aggrieved, I can play everything.

For this reason, I was also infamous as the demon concubine of the country. Scold, scold, as long as I can coax Yuan Yi to be happy, I will have a good life, and Niangniang and Yuan Ming will also have a good life.

But not necessarily, even if I often blow the pillow wind to Yuan Yi, but if he doesn't like it, he just doesn't like it. The hearts and eyes of the people in the palace add up to more than the stars in the sky, and the clear-eyed people can see it, and there are many people who make their own opinions.

Yuan Ming was poisoned by a eunuch on his birthday when he was thirteen years old, and I played with him at the banquet, robbed him of half of the crisp and ate it, and did not admit that I wanted to be poisoned with him.

Yuan Yi knelt on the edge of my couch, kept coaxing me, wiping my sweat for me. I was delirious, and my internal organs seemed to be burned by fire, crying and begging him: "After I leave, please Your Majesty, right...... Be nice to the mother......"

Yuan Yi panicked and went crazy to ask the doctor to dispense medicine.

The doctor was sweating profusely, and only said that he could use medicine first to hang his life.

The hall was lifeless, everyone knelt on the ground, and only the queen's sobs could be heard.

Ji Qing suddenly broke into the hall, grabbed the hair of a eunuch and threw him on the ground: "Your Majesty, it is this person who poisoned him." ”

The eunuch handed over the antidote, but there was only one bottle.

Yuan Yi snatched it, hesitated for a moment, and asked sharply: "Go and match another bottle, and the prince!" ”

The eunuch trembled and "slave maid...... There is only one bottle of slave and maid, Your Majesty...... Can't deserve it, can't deserve it......"

Yuan Yi's eyes were cracked, and he gritted his teeth and scolded angrily: "Drag it down!" Ling Chi! Check it out for me! Find out who instigated it! ”

I was really uncomfortable, babbling and calling people unconsciously, calling my mother for a while and calling my mother for a while.

Yuan Yi looked at the room of his eyes and ears, and was silent for a long time, and the candlelight illuminated his face half-brightly and half-darkly. He motioned to the palace people to help me up, put the medicine bottle to his mouth, and coaxed: "Ah Man open his mouth...... Aman, Aman, will you give me a prince in the future? ”

As soon as these words came out, I woke up like in a dream, thunder and lightning thundered in my ears, and I struggled to break free from the shackles of the palace people: "Don't ...... Your Majesty, I don't want ......"

"Ahh Boa! The Queen's mournful screams came from the ear room.

I saw her rushing in with Yuan Ming in her arms in a daze, bursting into tears and tearing her heart: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty...... Please, save Bao'er, please......"

Yuan Yi silently looked at the crying queen, and only said a sentence after a long time: "He should not have been born in this world." ”

The air suddenly froze.

"To live to the age of thirteen is already my kindness to your Fu family."

But my surname is Fu, Your Majesty.

My surname is Fu, Niangniang, and I have long been my family.

The queen was stunned, her eyes suddenly lost focus, and she knelt straight.

Yuan Ming ate more than me, and his face and lips were already purple.

I don't know where the strength came from, I snatched the medicine bottle and poured it into my mouth, pushed away the palace people and turned over and fell to the ground, enduring the abdominal pain and crawling to the couch to faint Yuan Ming.

I cupped his face and put the medicine in my mouth into his mouth.

"Aman!" Yuan Yi hurriedly ran over and put me back on the couch, "Aman! What are you doing! ”

Yuan Ming can't die, he is dead, and Niangniang can't live. My mother is so miserable and so kind to me, I don't want to make her sad anymore.

The queen also threw herself in front of my couch, and I lay on my side to look at her, and saw her burst into tears, and she could not cry.

I think these tears may have been shed for me.

I tried to reach out and touch her face, but I couldn't move.

I opened my mouth, my heart turned a thousand times, full of sorrow, and I tried my best but was silent: "Mother...... Mother......"

-

I didn't die, I just burned for a long, long time. Maybe God said that I was too lonely in my previous life, and he wanted to keep me for a long time, so that I could enjoy happiness.

At that time, I was in a daze, seeing the queen for a while, and Yuan Yi for a while.

One night, I was sleeping peacefully when I felt someone climb into my bed. I didn't have the strength to discern it, thinking it was Yuan Yi, and weakly shouted Your Majesty.

The body behind me suddenly froze, and it took a while to sigh and slowly wrap a hand around my waist. That's when I realized that the man was smaller than me.

"Ingots?" I hesitated.

Yuan Ming snorted and did not speak.

I struggled to find my thoughts: "You...... How are you? ”

"Hmm...... I've been doing this for a long time. My father and mother didn't let me come to see you, so I had to come secretly. There seemed to be a sobbing in his words, "Are you still uncomfortable?" Does it still hurt? ”

I replied in a daze, "It doesn't hurt, but it'...... It's dizzy and cold......"

Yuan Ming tightened his arms: "So what? So what? "He kept changing positions just to hold me tighter.

I laughed and coaxed him, "That's fine." ”

He quieted down and ironed me with his body motionless.

"You're like a little fire man."

Yuan Ming turned me over. I was drowsy, and I didn't open my eyes to see him, only to feel his breath on my cheeks.

He was testing my temperature with his forehead, and the sweet aroma lingered on the tip of my nose.

"You've been burning for a long time." Yuan Ming covered my hand on his chest, and I felt as if I felt a ball of sparks burning in my palm, and I wanted to withdraw, but he grabbed me.

"I'll keep you warm. Mother said that people's hearts are the warmest place, so you should cover here and don't run. Yuan Ming's voice was inexplicably reassuring to me, and I didn't leave again, only to feel that his heart was rising and falling regularly.

Knock knock, knock knock.

It was his heartbeat.

I don't know when Yuan Ming left that night, when I woke up, there was no one around the pillow, and if it weren't for the residual warmth, I almost felt that everything last night was a dream.

When I was cured, he was willing to come and see me once, and told me that the eunuch had dealt with it, so that I could rest assured.

I asked him, who is the mastermind behind the scenes, and has he found out?

Yuan Yi looked strange, looked at the left and right, and sat down for a while and left.

The queen told me that she couldn't find out, and that the eunuch had brought in the poison when he went out of the palace to buy it, and he just couldn't get used to the prince and wanted to kill him.

I sneered and wanted to go to Yuan Yi to investigate the matter thoroughly, but when I walked outside his bedroom, I heard the coquettish laughter inside, and it was unpleasant to hear.

The palace people saw my increasingly gloomy face, and they were afraid that I would go in to make trouble, so they hurriedly persuaded each other, saying that Your Majesty hurts the most is Mrs. Rong, you don't have to take it to heart about the fox here.

I didn't speak, sneered, rolled my eyes and left.

His son was dying, but he gave the antidote to his favorite concubine; His favorite concubine came to him to seek justice, but he was happy with the other women in the palace.

It's ridiculous, it's so funny. What's even more ridiculous is that I actually believe that this man really loves me and really feels sorry for myself.

He is exactly like Fu Guang, he searches all the treasures of the world, and when he rises, he takes them out to play with, and when he doesn't love them, he puts them in the dust, and if he can give them to others for higher benefits, they will definitely decorate the treasure beautifully and offer it with both hands.

-

I began to do everything I could, wrapping Yuan Yi around like a vine.

I wept about my past, sang of his love, complained about the wrongness of others, complained about my incomprehensible feelings for him, and the hardships caused to me by the many women in my harem.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the concubine body is no longer inseparable from you." I often lay on his chest, mourning, and confiding in him delicately and softly.

At this time, Yuan Yi would always patiently comfort me and kiss the corner of my eye: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I won't leave you, I won't leave you." ”

Early that morning, I pulled his robe and told him not to leave, saying that if he left, I would panic.

Yuan Yi has been out of court for a month.

The ministers wanted to crush my bones and swallow them up with the water.

But Yuanyi is not restrained, my birthday is approaching, and he wants to prepare a fresh feast for me. However, the fishing boat capsized and I didn't eat a bite.

I told Yuan Yi not to be extravagant, a small family banquet is enough, the queen is not in good health, and the concubine in the palace is the longest, so why not let the concubine hold a birthday for the concubine.

Yuan Yi agreed, but Concubine Shu looked at me unkindly.

The concubine is from a prestigious family, and the family banquet is properly organized, and the guests and hosts are happy. That night, everyone dispersed, but the next day they were awakened by the screams of the maids of Qinfang Pavilion.

Concubine Shu died, and died quietly.

From the doctor's point of view, he only said that Concubine Shu died of suffocation, but there was no trace of external force, and if he wanted to know the reason, he could only wait for the test to be made.

The dignified concubine and noble body, how can she be touched by such a pickled person. Everyone only thought that Concubine Shu's life was not good and she died of an emergency, and she was buried in the coffin.

On the day of Concubine Shu's funeral, there was snow all over the sky, some people whimpered and cried, some people pretended, only I felt happy in my heart.

Back then, I found Ji Qing, explored the eunuch's route of action, and hibernated for a long time before I found out that I and Yuan Ming were poisoned by Concubine Shu, but there was no evidence, and I was afraid of Concubine Shu's mother's family, and the queen was in trouble, so we could only keep it secret.

On my birthday this time, the ingredients prepared by Concubine Shu, the seats, servants, and menus arranged by herself were all dead in her own hands. No one will know that it was me who united with Ji Qing and turned the dim sum that should have been placed on Concubine Shu's table into a pastry containing oleander juice, and made people call the attendants of Qinfang Pavilion to drink, and in the second half of the night, everyone fell asleep.

I'll admit that I've had blood on my hands ever since.

Life is like a reverse journey, bumpy and rugged, the first half of my life is not peaceful, if you want the second half of your life to be peaceful, you can only kill the bloody road like this.

I thought that this would allow the queen and Yuan Ming to live a good life in the harem.

But the queen died.

It was the rune that killed her.

At that time, the Southern Dynasty was chaotic with us, and a large number of soldiers and horses were transferred to the frontier to fight against the Southern Army. The battle ahead was unfavorable, so that in the end the Beijing division had to be used. Fu Guang wanted to take this opportunity to poison Yuan Yi, help Yuan Ming ascend the throne, and make him a puppet, and he would be the puppet master who controlled everything, and coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

He gave the medicine to the queen and told me to poison it.

Later, I often wondered why he didn't come to me directly, if he came to me directly, maybe I could really poison Yuan Yi. But then I thought about it, it should be that he didn't trust me anymore, and he felt that I was so happy that I took advantage of Yuan Yi's favor, and would never do such a thing that harmed himself and others.

The queen didn't do it in the end. On that day, she called me to the palace and sat on the high pavilion where we first met, looking at the full moon hanging high in the sky, and chatting with me over wine.

"Good season, I wish to have every year, the Mid-Autumn Festival is common, and the Mid-Autumn Festival ......is common," she drank it all again.

I was a little panicked, and hurriedly stopped: "Niangniang, don't drink, you drank a little too much." ”

The queen pushed my hand away, looked at me and smiled very happily: "It's barbaric, this moonlight ...... It's really pretty. It's a pity, I'm afraid I'll never see you again......"

My heart was beating wildly, and I only felt that this was unlucky: "What did Niangniang say, the moon is cloudy and sunny, and I can always see it again." ”

She picked up her pot of wine and drank it to the end, looked at me and smiled, but tears slipped down her eyes: "Barbarian, you are such a good girl." ”

She was suddenly raised and stood up, and saluted the bright moon: "Don't go to the river today, others will meet in Jiuquan...... You and me, you and I are all old people. ”

I tried to get up and help her, but I saw her fall to the ground with a limp.

I screamed and rushed over to take her in my arms, only to see that her nose and mouth were bloody, her eyes were scattered, and her eyes were dull.

"! Empress! Someoneβ€”helpβ€”someoneβ€”"I cried out in a hoarse voice.

"Savage...... I can't save it, I can't save it......" she stroked my face, "good boy...... The deep palace is lonely, and you can't sleep for a long time, you and Bao'er should go hand in hand, and you must be well...... Help me...... Take care of him......"

"Mother-" I couldn't cry, there was light and shadow in the audience, I shouted, "Someone-someone-"

The queen was in my arms, her face covered in blood, but there was no fear or trepidation, she was smiling.

"I ...... I'm finally free. ”

Finally free.
