Article 573
However, why should a person who has no heart pretend to be pitiful? Why did she pretend to make his heart soften, she wanted to confuse him, he?
He pulled her into his arms, with a gentle smile with strong anger, and then reached out to caress the silk that fell from her sideburns, leaned on it ambiguously, and said softly: "What is Concubine Ai afraid of?" ”
She smiled, but in front of him, she said with a false sense of loss: "Your Majesty, how can you not know what 'jealousy' is in the harem?" Why does the emperor want to trap his concubines? ”。 Biqu Pavilion. Very good, she really thought so, his heart ached, but he still smiled and hugged her tightly, and asked with a hint of expectation: "Do you think I will treat Aifei like this?" ”
In her heart, is he such a person? In the past few days, he has doted on her so much, is his favor all false to her? Her first time was his, he was her husband. How can a woman be as cold as a piece of wood after giving everything to a man?
"The emperor is the husband of the concubine, how can he frame the concubine even if he is the husband?" , Her voice was a little delicate and sighing, her eyebrows gathered the sadness that he couldn't see clearly, clenched his fists, and he said restrainedly: "Yes, I should have been a good husband"
If it weren't for the original purpose, he would indeed love her, wouldn't he?
However, she suddenly withdrew from his embrace, a little softly, but coldly: "The concubine believes in the emperor and is a good husband", and then she bowed lightly, and said: "The concubine respectfully sends the emperor to the early court!" ”
She actually drove him away, and even threatened him to go to the 'imperial study' to review the recitals from all over the place, deliberately keeping himself busy, but after a cup of tea, he saw Tai'an push the door in a panic, knelt on the ground with panic, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, there are two palace maids outside the 'imperial study' who asked to see her, saying that Concubine De was poisoned and fell into a coma after using Concubine Xian's tea in the 'Sidui Palace'. ”
The song fell from his hand with a snap, and the inkstone overturned, staining the snow-white fox fur blanket on the floor, Tai'an was so frightened that he didn't dare to make a sound again, while he made a big fist, and when there was a tingling pain in his left chest, he deliberately calmed and said coldly: "Concubine De is poisoned and unconscious?" She still mentions him like this, how can she be deceived by others, and even drink poisoned tea?
"Back to the emperor, after Concubine De Niangniang fell into a coma, Xiao Tong, the personal palace maid beside her, was in a hurry, and stuffed silver taels to the palace maids passing by, and invited them to come to invite the emperor. Tai'an also said with a little anxiety. The two hands outside the door were dragging fifty taels of silver, and the palace maid who was a little panting didn't seem to lie, fifty taels of silver were in Huaiyue Kingdom, which was equivalent to the moon of a four-grade official, if it wasn't really urgent, how could Xiao Tong be one hundred taels as soon as he made a move?
He looked at Tai'an's serious expression, his heart suddenly panicked, he clenched his fists, but he didn't want others to see him messy for a woman, he took a deep breath, and the battle in his heart became more intense. After a while, he couldn't hold his breath anymore, closed his eyes, pursed his thin lips, and said, "Go to the 'Ning Xue Palace'"
He couldn't let go of her, no matter what time it was, he warned himself more than once that she was just a pawn he used to free himself from the curse, she was no different from Ruyue and Queen Ouyang Hongyu and Shangguan Wan'er, he was fortunate, the women who gave grace were all women he had to sacrifice, and he had told himself countless times that she was so special to him, so worrying him, just because of her arrogance and mystery. However, when he saw her pale sleeping face at this moment, his heartache was so obvious.
The cold wind outside the window whistled, with a burst of cold fragrance in the bedroom, he stood in front of the window, trying to sober himself up, he shouldn't be so close to her, let alone care about everything about her as he did a few days ago, otherwise he would be easily messed up by everything she had, becoming less and less like his former self, and becoming more and more unable to think about the chaos in the palace in the past few days.
Shangguan Wan'er has the same intelligence as Ouyang Hongyu, so it is impossible for her to be stupid enough to poison the emperor's favorite concubine in her own palace, and Xiao Tong, although he still can't figure out what she thinks in her heart, but such a weak woman, her vigilance against him is still impenetrable, how can she believe that this harem has ill-intentioned concubines? But if someone else is doing something from it and wants to kill two birds with one stone in the name of marrying trouble, then how would this 'other person' know that Xiao Tong will go to the 'Sidusk Palace' today? And will you drink that cup of tea?
Arsenic is a forbidden drug in the palace, even if there is no hospital, in the harem, in addition to the 'concubine red' used to rejuvenate the face, even saffron is a medicinal herb that the imperial doctor will only catch when he is taking the pulse of the palace concubine and confirming that she is not pregnant, so who can escape the eyes of the 'Xuanwu Gate' inspection guards, and hide this thing in the harem at the risk of killing his head?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but push all the connections to her, she sat in a sedan chair as a bride and entered the Xuanwu Gate, naturally no one could intercept her, and the maid Xiao Tong beside her, if he didn't guess wrong, she must be the second daughter of Mu Chengqi, when she copied the house, Mu Ruxian, who went up the mountain to learn art, was Ruyue's own sister. Her whole family was killed, she had a grudge, and she voluntarily entered the eaves of the enemy's house as a slave and a maidservant, and even followed her master to marry into the palace, which shows that she must have a purpose.
There was a sudden slight sound on the bed, his thoughts were pulled back, and then he felt the light of the person on the bed, he turned slightly, staring at her weak but hazy heart-palpitating eyes, stepped forward and said softly: "Aifei, what's wrong?" Are you still uncomfortable? As he said this, he couldn't help but stare at the look on her face, and according to the speculation just now, the doubts in his heart deepened again.
If it weren't for the poison of Concubine Xian, the person who blamed the disaster would have no way of knowing that she suddenly went to the 'Si Du Palace' to visit today, then the only possibility was her
Her expression must have been, as if she had only seen his face clearly at this moment and knew who he was, but the surprise in her eyes disappeared in an instant and turned light, but she immediately pursed her lips and closed her eyes, and then whispered with a little confusion: "The concubine had a nightmare just now, but she didn't expect to see the emperor as soon as she opened her eyes." ”
A nightmare? His sword eyebrows moved, did she dream of him? Stretched out his hand to brush the silk on her forehead, but said with a little indescribable taste: "What kind of nightmare did Concubine Ai have?" Could it be related to me, otherwise why did Concubine Ai open her eyes and see me busy closing them? Why does he always fail to see through her, even at this moment.
Her eyes were a little weak, and then she slowly lowered her long eyelashes, pursed her lips and said softly: "That dream, the concubine forgot, the only thing I remember is that the concubine shouted the emperor everywhere, and then woke up, but I didn't expect to really see the emperor as soon as I opened my eyes." As she spoke, she stretched out her soft hand, lightly held his hand on her forehead, and pursed a smile with a little pale lips, as if he was her life's dependent.
There was a feeling of self-loathing, every time, and as long as she whispered so softly, he couldn't hold on to all the decisions he had made up to this point, and he didn't even want to doubt her. He was at war in his heart, but he still couldn't help it, as if he couldn't control himself, he held her slender white hand, and then pulled it to his lips and kissed it, and then said thoughtfully: "If Concubine Ai really treats me as I just said, then I will definitely be a good husband!" If she really cried out to him even if she had nightmares, as she said, then he wouldn't care about anything she did, even if she wanted to do anything to the harem women.
She looked at him, with a hint of a smile on her lips, and nodded obediently, then lowered her eyelashes and said no more.
Seeing her like this, he thought he was crazy, after so many years of planning, he was willing to give up for a woman he couldn't guess, but at this moment, he looked at her so attached to him, he couldn't wait to hug her fiercely, didn't think about anything, just accompanied her
At this moment, he also seemed to understand why his father was so infatuated with the wife of a courtier. even sacrificed his own concubine in order to save the woman's reputation, but he is not his father, his ambition is the whole world, he can't be so obsessed, it's just that this heart always makes him think of her every step he takes.
At that time, he stood in the plum blossom forest and laughed, he laughed that he always told the so-called love stories that were circulated among the people, and even laughed at him that he still believed that it was true to him, he did not believe in love, but always felt that love was too ridiculous, he had seen the mother concubine cry silently in the air for countless nights, and he had seen the queen mother standing outside the hall at every sunrise and sunset, waiting for the figure to come. A woman's love is too stupid, and a man, compared to the woman who has never been sincere to any woman.
He once thought that because what he couldn't get was the best after all, all his father would be so infatuated with that woman, but after all, that woman couldn't withstand his father's entanglement, obeyed his will, and threw herself into his arms, the result was not that the two were irrelevant after a night of romance, but that his father was even more infatuated with her, and he was sad when he didn't see her for a day. The doctor diagnosed that she was indeed deficient in blood, her body was very delicate, and in a short period of time, she could not bear the rain and dew, let alone take medicine other than the great tonic diet, that is to say, she could not take contraceptive drugs such as 'go to Zi Tang', otherwise she would be infertile for life, and her body would never recover.
The Imperial Doctor's words pierced his heart like sharp needles, and his heart suddenly hung up, panicked and overwhelmed, he was almost shocked but sad to look at her eyebrows, which looked innocent without any mustard, and couldn't wait to shake her awake fiercely, and reprimanded her for what she had done to him.... |
The third brother once said that if you really fall in love with someone, you will know what it means to empathize, and even hurt in her body, your heart, but it will also hurt, at that time, he not only laughed that he had gone mad, but also thought that he had a good relationship with the third princess, but a year later, he knew that since the third brother married the third concubine, he was depressed all day long, **** lingering in the plum blossom forest, a flash of three autumns....
Is he in love with her? According to the third brother's words, is the tingling in his heart empathetic, and even when she is in pain, he also suffers? He didn't know, but at this moment, looking at her face and thinking of the words of the imperial doctor, he was so hateful and angry....
In the queen mother's bedroom, after the imperial doctor and the palace maid made the diagnosis, they hurriedly exited the inner hall and reported the diagnosis to the queen mother, while he held her hand tightly and guarded her inch by inch....
She woke up, but when she first woke up, she sighed softly, he looked at her eyes that were a little tired, but seemed to be extremely clear, and couldn't help but ask softly, "Why is the concubine sighing?" As he spoke, he approached her breath, fingers around the silk of her sideburns....
He didn't want to frighten her, before he really saw her heart, although he didn't know what she was doing, but at least he knew that she was smart, women, since ancient times, have been preaching that no talent is virtue, because once they have intelligence and talent, the original gentleness will slowly deteriorate, but, he likes smart women, because they are interesting, but, at this moment, he really hopes that she can be a woman as simple as water....
She looked at him, the haze in her eyes turned into gentleness little by little, and the gentleness seemed to impact the anger he had just accumulated in her heart, a little, her pink lips pursed slightly, and she said with a little touched and shy: "The concubine just thinks it's good to be able to look at the emperor like this...."
His heart moved, his hand holding her stiffened, he looked at the unadulterated in her eyes, his thin lips actually laughed, he really couldn't tell her true intentions, these eyes that fascinated him but made him extremely hateful had already covered everything up....
His hand around her silk gradually stroked her snow-white neck, with an unspeakable greed, he gently slid onto her chin, buckled, lifted her face, locked her eyes deeply, and said in a low voice: "Concubine Ai does know how to please me, my heart is almost Xiao Tong's alone...."She knows how to capture a man's heart too well, no wonder Haotian will make her so depressed, thinking of that day's sacrifice, the third brother looked at her eyes, his heart began to shrink violently again.... |
He thought to himself that he was a generous man, and he had never been angry at other men for peeping on her concubines, because he knew that in the royal harem of the past dynasties, eunuchs and palace maids were still tied to each other, how could they prevent concubines who could not wait for the emperor's favor all day long? However, he couldn't bear her no matter what, not even a look....
He looked at her slightly stunned, knowing that she couldn't believe what he said, he sneered in his heart, in fact, how could he dare to believe what he had just said? Sighing softly, he pecked her on the lips lightly, and then took her into his arms to warm her cold body....
And she, after entering his arms, said lightly: "It would be great if Xiao Tong could have the emperor like this forever...."
She has gradually learned how to use the means, she has learned all the sweet words he joked about at the beginning, otherwise how could she say these words so quietly that he knew were false, but his heart was surging with difficulty? He looked at her delicate face with a tight frown, and when he heard her light breathing, he couldn't help but hug her body even more....
