Qingyi pulled her lips and smiled, but she didn't say much, just looked at herself in the mirror quietly, a little, and said with a sigh: "Xiao Tong, you are nineteen this year" I remember that when Xiao Tong followed her, she was only sixteen years old, and now three years have passed, and in this era, she is already a big girl waiting to be out of the cabinet

Xiao Tong was stunned for a moment, and then lowered his head with a blushing face, and said in a low voice: "Miss, why are you mentioning the age of the slave maid, do you want to make fun of the slave maid at such an old age and not married?" "A girl of the age of a girl, if she is sixteen, she must be married to someone, at her age, I am afraid that she is already too old

Qingyi smiled lightly, reached out and picked up a pearl pendant in front of the mirror platform, and said lightly: "Xiao Tong is already the emperor's seventh-grade royal maid, how can he say that he has not yet left the cabinet?" As he spoke, he put the pearl pendant on his ear, and his eyes looked at the pearl pendant in the mirror that shook lightly between his ears, and he couldn't help but lose his mind

Xiao Tong's hand for Qingyi's makeup stiffened, and then bowed her head slightly, her face was calm, a little, she put down the ivory comb in her hand, bit her lip, and suddenly knelt on Qingyi's side as if she had made up her mind, and when Qingyi was slightly stunned, her eyes were slightly red and said: "Miss, the slave knows that she shouldn't like the emperor, but there is really nothing between the slave and the emperor, Miss, you have to believe the emperor, the emperor and the reason why he canonized the slave and the maid as the maid is because"

Xiao Tong suddenly stopped, remembering the harsh words that the emperor did not allow her to tell the young lady that day, and said in a heart: "Miss, the emperor knows that the young lady likes slaves and maids, so he asked Gonggong Qin to make a fake register and move the canonization in order to let the slaves and maids always be by Miss's side, if you don't believe it, you can ask Gonggong Qin, when the slave and maid broke into the 'Heart Palace' at night, he was also on the spot."

Qingyi was stunned, her eyes flashed with a hint of disbelief, and then she turned her head to look at Xiao Tong who was kneeling beside her, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to help her up, and said in a cold voice: "Xiao Tong is saying that the emperor humiliated your honor in order to let you stay in the palace with me?" "How could it be, Yu Haoxuan him

Xiao Tong nodded, but then shook his head again, sniffed, and said: "Miss, the slave maid is voluntary, and she voluntarily stays in the palace to accompany Miss, so don't blame the emperor, the emperor just loves his wife and wants to leave all the things that Miss likes by Miss's side" said, as if he was afraid that Qingyi would misunderstand the emperor, he pulled Qingyi's long sleeves tightly with both hands, and said nervously: "Miss, don't blame the emperor, the emperor has a deep affection for you, and it is natural for him to be selfish, therefore"

"But he has tarnished your name" Qingyi interrupted Xiao Tong's words, and then suddenly got up, turned around and walked behind the screen, Xiao Tong was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly stepped forward to stop Qingyi's son, and said anxiously: "Miss, it was the slave maid who volunteered, don't blame the emperor, blame the slave and maid for liking the emperor", speaking of this, Xiao Tong's face turned pale, suddenly covered his lips, suppressed the urge to cry, took a deep breath, and said: "Miss, it's the slave who can't control her heart, she knows that she is sorry for Miss, but she still likes the emperor"

She didn't want to like it, but when she saw the emperor for the first time, her heart was already fluttering, she had been suppressing it, she had been controlling, but this torment was completely disintegrated when she saw the emperor for her young lady getting thinner and thinner, and her lovesickness broke her heart, she couldn't hide her love for the emperor, so when the emperor canonized herself, she completely ignored the so-called name and obeyed the emperor's beloved wife's heart

Qingyi stood in the dormitory, her heart, when Xiao Tong boldly expressed her admiration for the emperor to herself, she looked at Xiao Tong's crying face, distressed but jealous, a little, she raised her hand slightly, pinched the silk handkerchief to wipe away Xiao Tong's tears, and said hoarsely: "Since the emperor has delayed Xiao Tong's life, then Xiao Tong will take me to serve the emperor when I am inconvenient."

Xiao Tong was shocked, his eyes widened and he looked at Qingyi's seriousness in the cold, and he hurriedly shook his head and said tremblingly: "No, Miss, the slave can't do this, and if this matter is known by the emperor, the emperor will be furious, and if the young lady forces the emperor to favor the slave maid, the emperor will be sad", for the emperor's luck, she sees it better than any palace concubine, because he is a single-minded person, so when he is enlightened to a woman, he is destined to be the woman who admires him all over the world

Qingyi closed her eyes, clutched the silk handkerchief in her hand with her bare hands, but the sourness in her heart was even stronger, she never knew that the emperor had hurt a woman who was so loyal to her for her, and this woman actually gave up her life for her unspeakable feelings for the emperor, and would rather spend her life in the deep palace

"Xiao Tong, no one has the right to delay your life" Qingyi closed his eyes and said leisurely, and held Xiao Tong's hand holding his long sleeve, pulled it off hard, and then slowly opened his eyes, and said coldly: "Besides, the dispute of power in the harem has always been a battlefield for ambitious people, and it should not involve innocent people."

"Slaves and maids are not innocent people" Xiao Tong hurriedly said, and then twisted her eyebrows, pursed her lips, red eyes, and said in a low voice: "Actually, if Miss was still the former master of Xiao Tong of the slave maid, it is also said that the slave maid has already tried her best to make herself a concubine and spend her life on this battlefield" Saying, she looked at Qingyi with a slightly stunned look, and said: "It was Miss who did not let Xiao Tong step into the abyss of this harem, but even so, Xiao Tong is no longer the Xiao Tong of the year, But Xiao Tong's loyalty to the young lady will never change."

It is true that when she entered the palace back then, although she was willing to rescue Ruyue, the belief that prompted her to enter the palace was that she wanted to be ashamed of the Mu family, she wanted to become the emperor's favorite concubine, and wanted to use the power of the harem battle to remove the Ouyang clan, the Dusk clan and the Shangguan clan who had made the Mu clan all over the house.

However, when she stepped into the palace gate, she found that her fantasy was so naïve, the emperor she thought of as a beautiful woman turned out to be as lucky as Bo Xing, she thought that the young lady who would be bullied in the harem was smart and calm, and the concubines who were more than beautiful for her were all ghostly and could not be prevented

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Tong stretched her hands to cover her lips, she didn't dare to raise her eyelashes to see Qingyi's face, she lowered her head and clenched her fists nervously, she never had the courage to say those things in her mind, and now, she said it, will the young lady still keep her?

"That's it" Qingyi said suddenly, then sighed lightly, turned around and walked to the mirror, picked up the delicate white jade carved peony, closed his eyes, and said: "Since Xiao Tong has made up his mind, I will no longer be reluctant."

After breakfast, Qingyi changed into a dark long dress, leaned on the couch, held a book in her hand, and quietly flipped through it. Perhaps because of last night's fatigue, after getting up this morning, Qingyi was a little in good spirits, and after a short nap on the couch, he improved slightly

Xiao Tong took the thin quilt and carefully covered Qingyi's body, then walked to the window, opened the window, looked up at the blooming cold plum tree in the back garden, a light smile pulled up at the corner of his mouth, and said softly: "Miss, the cold plum trees in the back garden are all blooming, and the emperor will be very happy to see it."

Qingyi closed the book slightly, raised her eyelashes to look at Xiao Tong who was smiling, pulled down her eyelashes, looked at the book, and a line of handwriting on the cover: Ancestor Benji, said coldly: "What is he happy about?" ”

Xiao Tong turned around, walked towards Qingyi with a smile, and then knelt on the blanket on Qingyi's side, and said with a smile: "Because it was planted by the emperor himself for the young lady three years ago, and this is the first time those cold plum trees have bloomed" Three years ago, in addition to the peony and peony in the back garden, there were only Xiao Qiang and water lilies in the lotus pond around the 'viewing platform', and those newly added cold plum trees were planted by the emperor himself for the young lady, and they grew for three years, and this year is the first time to bloom

Qingyi was slightly stunned, and raised her eyelashes again, but she glanced at the window edge that blew into the burst of cold incense, and said curiously: "The emperor planted it himself?" "Yu Haoxuan, will he plough the soil and plant plum blossoms for himself?

Xiao Tong nodded, and said with a serious expression: "Yes, the slave maid heard from Gonggong Qin that when the emperor first planted, his movements were very clumsy, and he also frightened the maids in front of the palace who were watching, and then dozens of plum trees were planted, and the emperor's dragon robe and dragon boots were full of muddy water, which was very embarrassing" However, even with such hard work, only a few trees survived, and at that time, the emperor said, this is just like the emotion he paid to Miss, obviously he has been wholeheartedly, but Miss repays him very little

Qingyi pulled her lips and smiled, it was hard to imagine Yu Haoxuan wearing a dragon robe and holding a shovel, she took a deep breath, closed the book, put it aside, and said a little lazily: "The emperor is also very affectionate to me" Moreover, she lowered her eyelashes, but she said a little lonely: "If he hadn't said that to me on that day three years ago, and even forced me to drink poisoned wine, maybe we wouldn't have to work so hard for each other along the way" Three years ago, in this palace, she broke off with him

Speaking of this, Qingyi had to admit that the events of the year still remained in her memory like a ridge in her throat, so that every time she approached him and snuggled up to him, she would have a chill in her heart, for fear that everything would come to naught in the blink of an eye, and the original sweet words would turn into bitter hatred overnight

"Three years ago" Xiao Tong's voice was a little hesitant, she looked at Qingyi's lost mind, and suddenly remembered the rumor she heard from the market, her heart was suffocated, and she hurriedly said: "Miss, the events of that day are actually" Xiao Tong paused, but he didn't know what to say, and then thought for a moment, before he said: "Miss, have you ever heard that Emperor Taizu once gathered a lot of Jianghu warlocks and Lang Zhong after the death of Qingyi Guifei Immortal, and within half a year before his death, he developed a heart-devouring medicine that was blindly called 'Hundred Steps to Break the Heart'?" ”

Qingyi twisted her eyebrows, not knowing what to do, and then, she only heard Xiao Tong tangled her eyebrows, as if trying to recall something, and said softly: "When I was a child, I heard my father and my mother say, it is said that the smell is called' It is said that the medicinal properties of the person who drinks alcohol will attack within half a column of incense, and when the effect of the medicine occurs, he must smell the smell of the blood donor or be good with his swallow to eliminate the pain of eating the heart."

Qingyi was stunned, she grabbed the thin quilt and got up, looked at Xiao Tong with some shock in her eyes, and then pursed her lips and asked, "What is the characteristic of that medicine when it occurs?" For some reason, Xiao Tong's words just now made her heart agitate and irritate, as if this matter was related to her

Xiao Tong looked at Qingyi's eyes, and said with some difficulty: "I heard that the medicine can make people not leave the blood donor for a hundred steps, otherwise, the heart disease will attack, the pain is like eating the bones, and the thoughts are full of the voice and smile of the blood donor, and I can't immediately throw myself into his arms and love Sauvignon Blanc with him" Saying, Xiao Tong grabbed Qingyi's cold hand a little nervously, and said softly: "Miss, isn't it, the wine you drank at the beginning is"

Qingyi's heart, when Xiao Fairy Tale fell, was as painful as being pierced by a sharp arrow, she grabbed the thin quilt covering her body, and the scene of that day suddenly appeared in her mind, and her heartache and longing for that person when she galloped in the 'plum blossom forest'

With a shake of his hand, Qingyi shook Xiao Tong's hand away as if he had touched something hot, and then slowly came back to his senses when Xiao Tong fell to the ground before he could react, but his face was still shocked and incredulous, and even his calm voice gradually rose and fell: "Are you saying that the wine that the emperor gave me that day was not intended to kill me?" On that day, Yu Haoxuan actually gave her a drink of '100 steps of broken heart'

Xiao Tong fell on the blanket, she got up in some pain, but when she turned her head to look at Qingyi's distraction and busy eyes, her distressed eyes gradually turned red, she crawled in front of Qingyi, bit her lip, nodded firmly, and choked up on her vocal cords: "The slave heard Gonggong Qin inadvertently mention it, he said that he saw the emperor cut his finger and drip blood into the cup before he drugged the wine, and at that time, Gonggong Qin just thought that the emperor did this, and he was determined to break off the relationship between husband and wife with Miss."

Is this the case Qingyi panicked so much, she reached out and grabbed the clothes on her chest, but she still couldn't calm her confusion, a little, she held the silk handkerchief tightly, and said heavily: "The emperor didn't want to kill me?" Really? If so, then why did she jump into the cold and deep pool? And why did he struggle so much to escape from the net of tenderness he had compiled?

Xiao Tong looked at Qingyi's hand clutching the clothes on his chest, got up with some concern, and just wanted to say something, but he heard the bedroom door creak and was pushed open, and then, a steady footstep walked in

Xiao Tong was silent, glanced thoughtfully at Qingyi who bowed his head, and then turned around to bless the emperor who bypassed the screen, and said: "The emperor is back" Then, when the emperor nodded, he secretly glanced at Qingyi and turned his head, pretending to be reading a book, pursed his lips, and then walked out of the dormitory in small steps

Yu Haoxuan looked at Qingyi and didn't answer his expression at all, his handsome face flashed a trace of coldness, he strode forward, walked to Qingyi's side, sat on the couch, stretched out his hand and threw the 'Taizu Benji' in Qingyi's hand aside, circled her body, and said in a low voice: "Don't Qingyi think that watching these is more boring than watching me?" ”
