Chapter 9: Beauty Scheming
Although Geng Jie's life was saved, he became the executioner of the national teacher's murder, and every time he thought of what happened to his companions that day, he felt deeply guilty. was also appointed by the national teacher to supervise the work, and in the future, I don't know how many innocent people will die in his hands, and Geng Jie is very tormented in his heart.
I just hope to get rid of the control of the national teacher as soon as possible and regain my freedom. reunite with his family, but his simple idea is a fool's dream, since the national teacher's ship has gone up, it is not easy to get off the ship.
The news of the national teacher's cooking and torture of coolies soon reached the ears of the two concubines of Kangning Palace and Ningxia Palace, and Xiangguo was gouged out by Emperor Wu Wei, cut off his tongue, and pierced his ears. was already frightened in his heart, and now he heard about the national teacher's execution, and he was even more frightened.
Concubine Hua didn't expect that because of her words, she would attract so many innocent people to suffer this catastrophe. If it weren't for the fact that she brought up the matter of picking the moon and expressing her heart in order to win favor, maybe there wouldn't have been so many killings. At this time, she regretted competing with Guo Qiuyue for favor.
But it was too late, and the day the platform was built was her death. In the past few days, he wanted to kill himself, but he was worried that Concubine Xiao would follow in his footsteps, so he secretly saved his life.
After hearing about the cooking and execution, Concubine Xiao hurriedly rushed from Ningxia Palace to Kangning Palace, and when she came to Kangning Palace, she panicked and said, "Sister, sister." Oh no, no......"
After Concubine Hua heard Concubine Xiao's voice, she hurriedly got up and greeted her: "Sister, what's wrong? What's going on? Look at your panicked face, come, sit down." ”
Concubine Xiao held Concubine Hua's hand and said, "Sister, the national teacher has killed people again." He actually threw the coolies who built the high platform into the wok kettle to cook, it was too cruel, sister, I am so afraid. ”
Concubine Hua immediately hugged the frightened Concubine Xiao into her arms, patted her on the back gently, and comforted: "Sister, don't be afraid, with your sister here, your sister will protect you, don't be afraid, don't be afraid......"
Only Concubine Hua's embrace can make Concubine Xiao feel warm, as if she has found support, in this harem, everyone is so indifferent, killing opportunities exist everywhere, maybe if you are not careful, you may die Huangquan, when you are favored, you don't realize the crisis.
But after falling out of favor, this crisis gradually emerged, and even the slaves around Guo Qiuyue began to bully others, often making things difficult for her. In this kind of frightened and often bullied days, Concubine Xiao is really fed up.
Only then did he come to Kangning Palace to complain to Concubine Hua, but now Concubine Hua herself is difficult to protect, how can she be saved. said that it would protect her, but it was just to comfort Concubine Xiao.
Concubine Xiao hugged Concubine Hua tightly, her heart was extremely frightened, her eyes were full of tears, and she choked up: "Sister, will I die? Will I be accidentally killed by Guo Qiuyue? She is so vicious, she can do anything, in this palace." There's a frightening smell everywhere, I'm afraid, I'm really scared......"
Concubine Hua could only try her best to appease Concubine Xiao's fear at this time, and no one could predict what was going to happen in this palace. Life or death is the fine line. Maybe because of a word, one action can lead to death.
So if you want to survive, you must first learn to be cautious in your words and deeds. Now that the demon concubine Guo Qiuyue has confused Emperor Wu Wei, it can be said that Guo Qiuyue now holds the power of life and death in this palace. If she wants anyone to die, there is no hope of life.
Concubine Hua is already a grasshopper after the autumn, the day the high platform is built, it is also her death, now the only thing she can do is to wait for death, Concubine Xiao's only advantage is that the city is very deep, she can endure no matter how big the humiliation is, as long as she saves her life, she can do anything.
Concubine Xiao was right before, and now only Guo Qiuyue can protect her, as long as Guo Qiuyue doesn't harm her. Concubine Xiao can live, Concubine Hua patted Concubine Xiao's shoulder and said, "Sister, don't be afraid." My sister passed away soon after, and you were the most worried. ”
"My sister can use my life to please Guo Qiuyue and put all the blame on me, if my sister wants to live, she must be ruthless and concentrate on scheming. ”
Concubine Xiao stopped crying, wiped her tears with her cuffs, looked at Concubine Hua and said, "Sister, what do you mean by this?"
Concubine Hua took Concubine Xiao's hand and settled her on the chair and said, "Sister, come, sit, wait for me to explain to you slowly." ”
The two sat down with their sleeves brushed, and Concubine Hua said, "Sister, if there is a difference between life and pain, how will you choose?"
Concubine Xiao was puzzled when she heard this, her brows were tightly locked, and her expression was solemn: "What is the pain, what is the life? ”
Concubine Hua flicked her cuffs, brought her body close to Concubine Xiao, and after checking left and right that there was no one else, she said with a cautious face: "If my sister wants to stay in this deep palace, she will have a life." As you once said, you must rely on Guo Qiuyue. Only by gaining her trust can her sister have no worries about her life. ”
"Last time, because of the competition for favor, you and I have already offended her, she hates you and me to the core, I have long been a ghost under her knife, and she also has a grudge against her sister, it is better for you and me to play a bitter trick to deceive her trust in her sister. ”
Concubine Xiao's dim eyes suddenly brightened, she hurriedly grabbed Concubine Hua's hand, and asked very eagerly: "Sister, how is it a bitter plan?"
Concubine Hua held Concubine Xiao's palm with one hand, and gently patted the back of Concubine Xiao's hand with the other: "Sister, I'm afraid I'm going to wronged you, sister scratches your face, are you willing?"
In this deep palace, especially the noble concubines like them live by their faces, if they are disfigured. It indicates that he has no chance to be pampered, so it will be difficult to turn over. Concubine Xiao hesitated for a moment: "Sister, is there no other way?"
Concubine Hua shook her head and said firmly: "No, Guo Qiuyue is such a smart person, if you don't disfigure yourself." I'm afraid it's hard to convince him, between life and death, what choice should my sister make, let's think about it!"
Concubine Xiao also knew that since Guo Qiuyue could kill Concubine Hua, her beautiful appearance would also become the biggest threat to Guo Qiuyue's competition for favor, how could Guo Qiuyue let herself go, and sooner or later she would poison herself.
Now there is no other way, in order to survive and save a life, Concubine Xiao finally compromised. Only by self-destructing his appearance can he eliminate Guo Qiuyue's defensive psychology against himself, so that his life can be saved. In order to survive, Concubine Xiao turned her heart sideways.
"Sister, let's do it. If I survive, I will avenge my sister and kill this demon concubine with my own hands. ”
Concubine Hua was pleased that Concubine Xiao was so knowledgeable about current affairs. The battle with Guo Qiuyue must be deep, if you can't do this, sooner or later you will die in her hands, Concubine Hua nodded with satisfaction, and pulled Concubine Xiao's hand to herself.
"Sister, don't worry. When your sister tells you the plan in detail, after your sister disfigures her face, she can quickly enter the palace. When you meet your majesty, you will say that your sister will kill you, and then your majesty will definitely ask the reason. ”
Then Concubine Hua put her hand on Concubine Xiao's ear, leaned over and said, "Sister, if Your Majesty asks the reason, your sister can tell Your Majesty like this." Let's just say that I have a grudge against Guo Qiuyue's ascension to heaven and the moon. She often cursed her with witchcraft, and my sister couldn't get used to it, so she had an argument with me. ”
"Then I became angry, and slashed my sister with a dagger, and I will hunt you down. This move can be concealed from His Majesty, but it may not be able to conceal from Guo Qiuyue, she must not believe it, it is very likely to use all kinds of cruel means to test the truth and falsehood, my sister must not be merciful at that time, if you have the slightest hesitation, everything we have done will be wasted, do you understand?"
Concubine Xiao nodded: "I understand, my sister's words were written down by my sister." ”
In order to keep Concubine Xiao alive and gain Guo Qiuyue's trust, Concubine Hua did not hesitate to let her self-harm her appearance. Then the two pretended to turn against each other, in Concubine Hua's opinion, Guo Qiuyue was such an easily fooled person, she was willing to be a victim of a beauty's scheming.
For her, she has long been a dying person, and life and death have long been downplayed. This may be the only thing she can do for Concubine Xiao before she dies, and then Concubine Hua got up, took the dagger and asked with a serious face: "Sister, terrible pain?"
Concubine Xiao bit her lip, shook her head like a wave drum, and a stream of tears flowed down her eyes: "I'm afraid, but I'm even more afraid of death, sister, do it." Then Concubine Xiao closed her eyes and turned her heart sideways, ready to be disfigured.
Although she is very reluctant in her heart, there is no other way to do it now, and beauty is sometimes a mortal threat, if she doesn't become an ugly girl. Guo Qiuyue will often have trouble sleeping and eating, afraid that Concubine Xiao will one day be favored again and threaten her status.
If she wants her worries to disappear completely, Guo Qiuyue's only thought is to eradicate Concubine Xiao, so that she will never have a chance to be favored again. In this way, you can be completely at ease.
Although Concubine Xiao didn't know when such a result would happen, Concubine Hua knew very well that this matter would not come too late, so she would let Concubine Xiao ruin her beautiful face as soon as possible to eliminate Guo Qiuyue's worries about Concubine Xiao.
Concubine Xiao entered the palace to face the saint, just to let Guo Qiuyue know that the two sisters had turned against each other, Concubine Hua ruined Concubine Xiao's beauty, Concubine Xiao naturally hated Concubine Hua to the core, Concubine Xiao's beauty had been lost, and there was no threat. The two sisters turned against each other, and at this time they could fulfill what Concubine Xiao said before, approaching Guo Qiuyue.
If you get Guo Qiuyue's trust, you can naturally save your life without worry. Concubine Hua knew that this plan could not ensure that it was foolproof, she could deceive Emperor Wu Wei, but it was difficult to convince Guo Qiuyue.
In order to ensure that this plan can be concealed from Guo Qiuyue, Concubine Xiao must act the play as fake and real, and she has to make Guo Qiuyue believe that this plan can be successful. Concubine Hua looked at Concubine Xiao's two lines of tears, and she was really a little unbearable.
But if you don't do this, how can you fight with Guo Qiuyue. So he gritted his teeth and was ruthless: "Sister, you and I." From this moment on, there is no sisterhood, you have to remember that I am your enemy, I am the one who ruined your appearance, do you remember?"
Although Concubine Xiao didn't want to do this in her heart, she was powerless to change the result, biting her lip hard, her eyes were closed, and hot tears welled up, this was an extremely painful struggle in her heart, obviously it was a deep sisterhood, and she had to pretend that her hatred was as deep as the sea. is obviously acting, but he wants to interpret this scene as a real existence.
This kind of complicated inner struggle, perhaps only Concubine Xiao has a deep understanding at this moment, she nodded lightly: "Sister, do it." I've written down my sister's words. ”
Concubine Hua held the dagger in her hand and slowly approached Concubine Xiao, the tip of the knife was on Concubine Xiao's beautiful face, and after shaking it a few times, it slashed down. Concubine Xiao bit her lip vigorously, and the pain spread throughout her body. She struggled to control herself, trying not to cry out the pain.
Blood had run down his cheeks, soaking his shirt red. A pale pink dress was covered with bloodstains, and this knife slashed down, and Concubine Xiao's appearance of once captivating the country and the city was gone, leaving only a scar that was very terrifying.
After Concubine Hua scratched Concubine Xiao's face, she asked her to hurry into the palace to meet His Majesty, and inform Wu Wei of her slander of Guo Qiuyue, so that Guo Qiuyue would definitely be furious and come to Kangning Palace to ask for guilt, as long as Concubine Xiao took the opportunity to show goodwill, she would be able to live Guo Qiuyue's test.
Concubine Xiao naturally let her live because she disfigured her appearance and did not become a threat to Guo Qiuyue, as long as she could survive, she would find an opportunity to avenge herself in the future, and this matter was half done.
At this time, Concubine Xiao's face was covered with blood, and she left Kangning Palace in a panic, and trotted all the way into Xiaoyao Palace, Xiaoyao Palace was still singing and dancing, Emperor Wu Wei was drinking and holding Guo Qiuyue in his arms, and the two laughed from time to time.
After Concubine Xiao came to the outside of the palace, she began to look panicked, crying and trotting a few steps, kneeling down to His Royal Highness, and shouting: "Your Majesty, someone wants to kill me, Your Majesty save me! Save me......"
