Harem Epilogue: Princess De

I Gu Youning, born not a weak and deceitful character, since I entered the palace, I must find a way to sit on the throne of the empress, firmly control the power in my hands, but also to raise my children well, watch him ascend to the dragon throne, and turn the whole world into the palm of my Gu family.

1

Candlelight is visible in the Yangxin Hall, and light smoke is swirling on the gilded incense burner. Naked, I was wrapped in a Mandarin duck quilt, my eyes looking around the strange and vast imperial palace, and my palms were constantly oozing sweat.

I never expected to be the first waiter, and I didn't stand out in this show, and I didn't even look good. Compared with the highest nobleman, I really have no advantage.

The noble person is very beautiful, the peach is planted in the sky and dew, not all the flowers, it is a woman like her. No one was jealous of her beauty, and even the blessed Concubine Yi was still compared to her.

When the palace was chosen, Yifei's face was extremely ugly, especially when the emperor gave the title of Xian, and Yifei's gaze was as if she was about to burst out a sharp arrow at any time.

But even so, the first person fengluan Chun'en car picked up was actually me, which was a small promise.

The first waiter was so honorable and honored, but I understood that it was all the work of my father. The flood in Gaoliang County, Xianzhou, was self-proposed by his father to treat the water, and after two months, the water situation was controlled and the people were very happy.

The emperor was young, and on the occasion of employing people, he not only rewarded the officials, but also gave me special preferential treatment.

I was silently reciting poems and chatting in my heart to send off, when I heard movements outside, and my face became hot, and at this moment I faced the handsome and gentle face.

It was just that there seemed to be a thick sadness in his eyes, he didn't look like a king at all, but like a student in a picture book, a little depressed, teaching people to can't help but smooth the folds.

He asked softly, "Aning, do you know why You were the first to be summoned?" ”

I shook my head and pretended not to know that my mother had said that throughout the ages, men mostly disliked women being too smart.

He leaned down and pecked lightly at my forehead, "The first time I saw you, I couldn't help but have the desire to protect, you spoke softly and softly, and you were petite and quiet, like a little girl who didn't grow up, and you really liked it."

I still want to see you laugh, and when you laugh, it's like a circle of ripples of water slowly spreading out, warming up to your heart. ”

I didn't expect his words, and my eyes widened in surprise, not knowing what to reply.

He lifted the Mandarin Duck away, and I was so ashamed that I was about to cover it with my hand, but he grabbed his hand, "From now on, Aning is the person of Yuan, and Yuan will take good care of you." ”

My mother once warned me that the most ruthless emperor is like a bloodthirsty poisonous snake, do not be merciful and admiring, and if you are not careful, you will end up with the stupid farmer, who will die in the mouth of the poisonous snake.

It is because I have always kept in mind the admonition, such as the waiter's bed, and I dare not make a mistake.

However, his movements were extremely gentle, even when he was entangled, he was cautious, for fear of hurting me. He pressed me close to my chest, caressed my scattered green silk with his eyes emotionally, and said softly, "Aning, will you call me Ah Ci when no one is there?" ”

I was again ashamed, how dare I easily call out the name of the emperor. But looking at his expectant and good-looking eyes, his heart softened, and he nodded: "Ah Ci, Ah Ci." ”

He hugged me with a few more points, "I like to hold you like this, you are quiet and gentle, you can give me a moment of peace and enjoyment." You are very different from others. ”

This is the first time I have heard such love words. Not so pitiful, but it can directly touch the bottom of my heart, for no reason, I heard my heart beating wildly, and my ears were even more frighteningly hot.

Xu didn't hear a response, he turned over and bit my earlobe lightly: "Aning, promise not to leave me, I need you very much." ”

I finally forgot my mother's advice, raised my hand and hugged his neck, and spent the night in the spring.

In the early morning of the next day, Fengluan Chun'en car drove me to Ning'an Garden, which was a small garden given to me by the emperor, although it did not belong to the Six Palaces of The East and The West, it was better than exquisite and chic.

In particular, I heard that the former emperor's favorite concubine Qiong had lived, and the Tang Aunt in it was even more serving the emperor when she was young, which can be described as an extraordinary meaning. The emperor also gave me the title of Ning, and promoted me to Chang zai.

Flowing water-like rewards poured into the Ning'an Garden, and all the palace concubines also came to congratulate Daoxi, of which the most luxurious gift from Concubine Yi was the most luxurious, and she ordered the palace women to offer the emerald green bracelet of tribute from the southern kingdom.

The bracelet is turquoise throughout, the luster is soft, and it is a rare treasure.

Naturally, I refused to accept such a precious gift, but Concubine Yi held my hand affectionately and said gently, "Since you have entered the palace, this palace is your sister, and what is wrong with your sister giving it to your own sister?" ”

She was a sister, and when she was really intimate, if I refused again, I would brush her face, so I let her put the bracelet on my wrist.

She took my hand and said a lot of words, and then she dragged the hand of her cousin Xu Qingyi and put it on my palm, "From now on, we are our own family, when we respect and love each other, we will do our best to serve Your Majesty together and continue to be the heir of the royal family as soon as possible." ”

I know that she wants to win me over, although the emperor loves Concubine Yi, but she has not given birth to a dragon for many years, and princess Qi who has a princess has less chips, if there is a new person to help, Concubine Yi will be more confident in competing for the position of the middle palace.

It was she who let her cousin Xu Qingyi enter the palace, Xu Qingyi's eyebrows were like Dai, his eyes were like stars, quite a bit of color, and he lived up to his high expectations and was named Xu Changzai by His Majesty.

Xu Qingyi smiled and nodded, and said familiarly with me: "Sister Youning, I like you so much, the first time I saw you, I felt that you were gentle and gentle, like a fairy who came out of a painting." Sister Youning, we must move around more in the future. ”

However, after Concubine Yi left satisfactorily, Xu Qingyi threw away my hand and snorted coldly: "Gu Youning, do you really want to become a phoenix?" If it weren't for your father, would the emperor be the first to spoil you?

All day long pretending to be weak willow wind like a sick look, speaking softly, others believe me can not believe, don't you want to rely on the weak to ascend to the position, I hate your hypocritical appearance the most, disgusting to the extreme! ”

When she came, she said viciously, "Do you really think your cousin needs you?" Don't dream, my cousin needs me the most, I will be the most pampered showgirl in this draft, and you? Take advantage of the fact that you can still pretend to be weak and quickly find a way back for yourself! ”

She looked at me mockingly, and then was helped away from the garden by the palace maid.

I couldn't help but find it funny, she always thought that I was pretending to be weak and won the grace, but it was clearly black and white. God knows how much I wish I could laugh loudly, talk loudly, and dance when excited, but I can't.

Since I was born, I was infirm and had a weak disease, and I had to take soup medicine all day to strengthen my body. The doctor suggested that I should not move much from a young age, talk softly, and walk slowly.

It is because I am cautious in my words and deeds, just so that I can live, but in the eyes of outsiders, these have become graceful and elegant steps, and the lotus under my feet. And I also became the most prestigious dignified noblewoman in Beijing, gentle and elegant, gentle and delicate.

I paid no attention to Xu Qingyi's words, nor did I listen to them at all.

She and I have never been the same person, in the past in the Zhong Pu Palace, she often instigated Xiu Nu to bully Xian Gui, only because Xian Gui was beautiful, and once I really couldn't see it, I told my aunt that Xiu Niang was severely punished, and Xu Qingyi and I also formed a vendetta, and since then there has been no room for water and fire.

If It weren't for Princess Yi coming with her today, I don't think I would have met her at all.

Lady Zhu'er said indignantly, "She is just jealous of Miss's first bedchamber, Miss Don't go to her heart, she is just a cousin of Concubine Yi, and now the Emperor is rejoicing in Miss Yi, and when the time comes, she will rise step by step, and see how she looks down on people!" ”

Grandma Tang covered her mouth in time and whispered, "Don't let people listen to this!" ”

Jewel spat out her tongue, and then realized that she had said the wrong thing, but she was right, I didn't care what other people thought, I only cared about my words.

Cold words can't trap me, but Ah Ci can, no matter how much strife in the harem, it is only to occupy an inch of land in his heart.

3

For five consecutive days, the emperor stayed in my Ning'an Garden, which is a special honor that has never been done before for a rookie, and it is also unreasonable.

The little lords were jealous and envious at the same time, they went to Concubine Yi and Concubine Qi to cry, and Concubine Yi helped her cousin to find the emperor, mentioning that His Majesty can only be peaceful and peaceful in the six palaces if the rain and dew are evenly wet.

In desperation, the emperor promised Concubine Yi to start spoiling the rookie.

However, on the same day, the emperor also sent someone to send me a message, and The smile on Duke Wei's face was so folded that they were all pulled together: "Ning Chang is here, Your Majesty let the little lord relax his heart, His Majesty has already put the little lord in his heart, as long as he survives these days, the little lord can be with His Majesty every day."

His Majesty also said that if the two loves are long, they will be in the twilight of the dynasty. Therefore, the little lord must raise his body well, and your good days are still long. ”

I was deeply touched in my heart, and I definitely did not expect that the emperor would miss me so much, so I shoved a bag of fine softness into the hands of Duke Wei: "Gonggong Lao told His Majesty that the concubines are grateful for His Majesty's deep friendship, and will certainly cultivate enough spirit and live up to His Majesty's kindness." ”

The following month, the new lords of the palace were all favored, and without doubt, Xu Qingyi became the second person to serve the bedchamber. The next day, she was promoted to nobleman, and she also received the title of Qian, becoming the highest ranking young lord in the rookie like the nobleman.

Since then, Xu Qingyi has been on his toes all day, especially when he meets me.

Because her position is higher than mine, she often deliberately makes things difficult and finds trouble for me at every turn, and what is even more excessive is that she vents her anger on Jewel when she has a grudge against me, and scolds and reprimands in front of me.

I was distressed by Jewel but I couldn't defend her, and finally I had to see Xu Qingyi from a distance and go around.

All the little lords were like me, and they dared to be angry with Xu Qingyi, who called her a superior person. And she soon became the only noble among the rookies, only because the nobles somehow angered the emperor on the day of the bedchamber.

I only heard that she was not only expelled from the Yangxin Hall by the emperor, but also sent to the Cold Palace, and before leaving, she cried like a tearful person, and said that she was wronged.

However, the king's words were difficult to chase, and the young and beautiful nobles lost everything overnight.

Later, I inquired from all directions, and only then did I learn from the little palace lady that the noble lady had written a rose on her left shoulder, and it was because of this rose that the noble lady angered the emperor.

I also learned later that only the Chaoyang Palace had roses in the whole palace, and there used to be the lord of Chaoyang County.

The lord of Chaoyang County was the daughter of the empress dowager's personal palace daughter, and the empress dowager was very fond of her and adopted her as a righteous daughter and was named the lord of Chaoyang County. She and the emperor are green plum bamboo horses, and they especially like roses, and often play with the emperor in the flowers.

Unfortunately, she unfortunately fell into the water and died when she was fourteen years old, and since then the rose flower has become a taboo in the palace, and the emperor will not let anyone mention it.

When the nobles first entered the palace, they did not know the deep meaning of it, and originally thought that Wentu would be the icing on the cake, but they did not think that it was a deadly abyss.

In the end, it is the love of the same show girl, I can't bear to see her lonely, so I let Jewel prepare a lot of clothes to eat, I heard that the cold palace lacks everything, I can't do anything for her, and I can only make her slightly better for the rest of her life.

The cold palace was really cold and damp, dilapidated and shabby, and as soon as I started, I could smell the smell of mold and smell over the years, and I couldn't stand standing in the corner for a while and vomiting.

I am still like this, how can I imagine that the noble people will be buried here for the rest of their lives, and sympathy cannot help but gush out in my heart.

But in just a few days, the nobleman was like a dry and crisp flower, erasing all the light and brilliance, leaving only a pale loneliness.

She saw me and smiled lightly: "I know only you will come, you have helped me many times, I have nothing to repay, you go." ”

She stopped talking to me, and I looked deeply at her and withdrew from the door.

When we were about to leave, Qiu Tong, the delicate maid of honor, suddenly rushed to my knees and wept bitterly: "Master Ning, please save my little lord, she was deliberately framed by someone."

It was all that Qiangui, it was she who told the little lord that the emperor liked roses, and the innocence of the little lord would be fooled by her! Lord Ning, the emperor loves you, if you go to help the little lord speak, the emperor will definitely agree! Please..."

She cried with great sadness, and anyone who listened to it couldn't bear it, but I couldn't promise it, not only me, even Concubine Yi or Concubine Qi, mentioning this matter in front of the emperor, couldn't change anything.

Maybe Qiu Tong's grief was too deep, I didn't sleep well all night, I had no appetite for anything to eat the next day, and even made nauseous from time to time, Jewel was so nervous that she didn't know what to do, and she stomped her feet in a hurry.

However, Aunt Tang contained a smile of unclear meaning: "Slave Lady, this is to give the little lord to ask the imperial doctor, I think we ning an yuan will have a happy event!" ”

4

The imperial doctor carefully took the pulse and smiled and said a big happy word to me, I was both surprised and excited, and tears of excitement oozed from the corners of my eyes.

I never expected to give birth to a new life so quickly, and there was my hope and continuation, which belonged only to me, child.

The emperor came directly to Xiao Yuan, and he picked me up and turned around in a circle with excitement.

His eyes radiated a fiery and affectionate love, burning my chest, and he turned all the joy into a strong kiss, and then smiled and said, "Aning, this is our child, we are going to be daddy!" ”

He pressed his head against my lower abdomen and said softly, "Whether you give birth to a man or a woman, I will love him well." ”

He attached great importance to this child, and asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to select a number of capable palace people to serve me, and it was best to eat and wear. While I was moved, I also kept vigilant and attentive at all times, just to protect the fetus in my belly.

The news that I was pregnant with a dragon race spread throughout the harem, and everyone congratulated and gave generous gifts at the same time, I did not dare to slacken off, and let the imperial doctor check whether there was any difference one by one.

Three meals a day, I will also let the imperial doctor check before starting, after all, the harem people's hearts are complex and changeable, not afraid of ten thousand, only just in case.

These days, I have become cautious and cautious, every step of the time, and sometimes Jewel thinks that I am suspicious of ghosts, but I don't think so.

Because this is my first child, I must protect him, and I want him to come to this world healthily and safely.

However, I thought that my mind was clear and cautious, but I still could not escape the unpredictable fixed numbers in this world, and the harem that did not see the smoke of war was filled with a strange and dark atmosphere all the time, and I could not prevent it.

On that day, the sun was clear, and the densely packed peach blossoms bloomed in the warm spring light, which was extremely beautiful.

Jewel helped me to the peach blossom forest, and as soon as the breeze blew, the petals of the flowers fluttered down lightly and landed around us, and we were happy like children, not noticing the impending danger.

At this moment, a "buzzing" sound suddenly came from the ear, and I heard Jewel exclaim, "Little Lord run, it's a wasp!" ”

Only then did I see a large swarm of wasps flying rapidly, and the horse bees stinged people very painfully, and the sting was a big bag, and when it was severe, it would disfigure.

So I quickly lifted the hem of my skirt and ran in the opposite direction, and I didn't notice my feet at all, only felt the soles of my feet slip, and I fell backwards, and my body happened to hit a rock, and I lost consciousness in an instant.

When I woke up, the emperor was sitting on the edge of the bed, his eyebrows were full of wrinkles that could not be touched, and the circles of Pearl's eyes behind him were red, and even Grandma Tang, who had always been calm and calm, was full of pity.

I was frightened for no reason, and my hands involuntarily touched my lower abdomen, and I asked in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, what about our children?" Is he okay? ”

A trace of guilt suddenly poured out of the emperor's eyes, and his speech was also a little choked: "Aning, we will still have children, you are weak, wait for you to raise your body, will we be pregnant again?" ”

These words were almost poison, and my heart seemed to be tearing apart fiercely, and the pain was so painful that it was difficult to breathe, the tears could no longer be suppressed, and I cried bitterly.

Why is that? Why? I was obviously careful enough, but why did God still take him away?

For the sake of this child, I would go to the little Buddha hall every day to chant and pray for blessings, just so that he could be born safely.

I am weak, and pregnancy will make my spine ache and make it difficult to breathe, but I am not afraid, and I will bear him day and night to nurture him.

But I was blessed in the end, and before I could see his appearance, he was separated from my yin and yang and broke up the fate.

The Emperor hugged me tightly, did not say a word, and let me lean on his shoulder and cry, until I was tired of crying, he stroked my hair, looked me solemnly into my eyes, and said:

"Aning, you can rest assured, I will not let our child disappear like this, and I will make all those who hurt him pay the price!"

I looked up and asked incomprehensibly, "What does Your Majesty mean?" ”

The anger in his eyes was burning: "How can a large swarm of horse bees appear in the peach blossom forest for no reason?" The palace people have to carefully check everywhere every day, how come they didn't find a horse honeycomb?

There must be something wrong in this, I have asked people to investigate thoroughly, no matter who it is, it will not be spared! ”

5

There was no clue around, and Taolin's little eunuch insisted that he did not know that there would be a wasp, and speculated that it might have flown from outside the palace.

Although he was tortured, he could not say why, and in the end the emperor had to put him to death for negligence.

However, I did not give up looking for the real culprit, and at first I was deeply sad and washed my face with tears all day, but after the emperor reminded me that it was not an accident, I began to recall the details of the day.

It didn't rain in those days, the trails in the peach grove were cobbled, I wasn't running fast, I couldn't slip at all, unless...

I had a flash of inspiration and remembered that I seemed to have stepped on something before I fell down immediately, and that it was the rapeseed oil used in the kitchen.

As soon as I thought that my poor child had died at the hands of the miscreants, I was furious and eager to slash the murderer with a thousand knives and cut the corpse into thousands of pieces.

He was so innocent that I could hear his miserable and helpless cries even night and night, and in the dark and dark and dark mansion, he called out quietly: "Mother-in-law, the child is afraid, mother-in-law, I don't want to be alone." ”

Losing him is an indelible pain in my life, and it is also the most regrettable regret in my life. I must find the murderer and use her blood to sacrifice my unsightly child.

I begged the Emperor to summon Master Renzhi of the Fahua Temple to the palace to surpass the soul of my child, and the Emperor agreed to it and asked Wei to cooperate with everything.

The place of the super degree was chosen at the place where Taolin I fell, Andong Wei had already let people set up a ceremonial platform, dozens of senior monks sat in a circle and chanted the sutra loudly, and Master Renzhi stood in the center, holding a rune in his hand and reciting words in his mouth.

The ceremony was so loud that the emperor and the concubines of the palace also came to pray for the blessing of the fallen dragon fetus, and I knelt at the front, folding my hands together with great devotion, and silently reciting the eulogy.

Halfway through the ceremony, Master Renzhi suddenly said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the old monk only sensed the dragon's grievances and begged the old monk to find the real culprit for him, so that he could be reincarnated." If His Majesty agrees, the old monk will do so. ”

The main reason why I invited Master Renzhi was to let him find out the real culprit. Master Renzhi was a high-ranking monk, and it was rumored that he could drive away evil spirits and catch ghosts, and hear about wrongdoing, which was known to everyone in Kyoto, and it was also a living bodhisattva in the hearts of the people.

No one believed what he said.

The emperor asked busily, "The master already has a good plan?" ”

The master nodded, "As long as Ning Changzai's blood is dripped on this rune paper, and then after the old monk chants the blessing of the spell, finally bury this rune paper in the ground, and when the rune paper is dug out tomorrow at this hour, the name of the real murderer will appear on the paper." ”

I glanced at the emperor, and as long as I waited another day, the murderer of my child would be nowhere to be seen.

The Emperor readily agreed.

6

The next day, with a trembling heart, I waited for Master Renzhi to dig out the rune paper, but to my despair, there was nothing on the rune paper. Master Renzhi sighed heavily before he said to me, "Amitabha, everything in the world has its own fixed number, and you must not force it when something happens." ”

I was about to collapse when I was about to, but fortunately, several concubines supported me at the right time, among which An Concubine and Zhu Jieyu knew my feelings best, they had also lost their children, and it was not good to see me like this, and the tears immediately fell.

At the end of the cry, Concubine An advised me: "You are still young, there will always be children, don't be sad anymore, taking care of your body is the most important." ”

Concubine Yi on the side also ran over and said, "Sister Ning, the days are still long, and the emperor is extremely fond of you, maybe in two months there will be another child." Those who leave have left, and those who stay must live well, don't they? ”

They said two words of consolation, but I couldn't hear anything, and suddenly my throat only felt fishy, and a mouthful of blood spat out, and I fainted again.

In the haze of consciousness, I only heard the imperial doctor say: "Your Majesty, the little lord's body is already weak, and now after losing the dragon fetus, he is depressed and attacking his heart, damaging his five internal organs, only afraid that the little lord's body will not be able to eat..."

"No matter how you use the medicine, you must cure Ning Changzai!"

I had a terrible headache, didn't want to hear anything, and fainted and went back to sleep.

When I woke up again, my consciousness had awakened a lot, and my body was obviously strong, and Jewel brought the boiled ginseng porridge, and I ate it all in one breath, which surprised her for half a day before she reacted.

During this period of sleep, I seemed to understand that Yifei said it well, and the living must always be alive.

When the emperor learned that I had woken up, he sent Duke Wei to send me a number of gifts, and he also brought holy wills, and he was promoted to my nobleman.

It is funny to say, Ping Su is a concubine who gives birth to a child before he will be promoted, but I am rewarded because of the loss of my child, and I don't know how to feel it.

Concubine An and Concubine Zhu came to accompany me every day and copied Buddhist scriptures with me. Master Renzhi also gave me many wind chimes before leaving the palace, and for the Buddhist family, the wind chimes have the three meanings of shock, joy, and explanation, and can bring prayers and blessings to those who have passed away.

I asked the emperor to send these wind chimes to the palaces, hoping that through the blessings and wishes of all the people, my children would be reborn and rested in peace as soon as possible.

The concubines all readily agreed, and took the initiative to hang the wind chimes on the eaves of the palace, and the breeze blew, jingling, cheerful and pleasant.

When she arrived at Xu Qingyi's bedchamber, she looked a little hesitant and refused to take it for a long time, but finally she smiled and hung it up.

However, in the early morning of the next day, bad news came from Xu Qingyi's palace, she suddenly felt unwell last night, not to say that she heard a baby crying, crazy, delirious, but the palace maid on duty said that she had never heard anything.

I heard that the imperial doctor dispensed the medicine, she took the medicine before she was slightly sober, I wanted to visit her, but somehow she refused to see me, Yifei cared about her cousin, so she said that when her condition was better, let me come again.

Who ever thought that she not only did not get better, but more serious, An Concubine said to me: "Yesterday I also went to see Qian Guiren, she was so emaciated that she was not as good as she looked, and her mouth was nagging, as if she often had hallucinations, and I don't know how she suddenly became like this, it is really pitiful!" ”

I was also very shocked, most of the hysterical people were frightened, how could Xu Qingyi, who had never been afraid of heaven, be frightened like this?

7

In the afternoon, An Concubine and I went to visit Qian Guiren again, and this time Concubine Yi did not stop her, and I saw Xu Qingyi.

When it was true as Concubine An said, where was xu Qingyi from before, his face was emaciated and miserable, his eyes were sluggish and hollow, his hair was messy, and he shrunk in the corner of the bed like a ghost, constantly saying: "I am wrong, I am wrong, don't you cry?" I beg you..."

Concubine Yi suddenly looked at me, her eyes were like sharp arrows, and she asked sharply, "Is it you?" It was after you came that day that she became like this, did you do something to her? ”

"Concubine Yi, misunderstood," I hurriedly shouted, "the concubine was only here to send wind chimes that day, and she didn't do anything at all, if Niangniang didn't believe it, she could ask Sister An Concubine!" ”

Concubine An naturally helped me speak: "Concubine Yi, Ning Guiren came with concubines to send wind chimes, and concubines dare to guarantee that this really has nothing to do with Ning Guiren." ”

However, Concubine Yi still didn't believe me and said angrily, "This palace has let people check the wind chime, although there is no hallucinogen, but it must be that you used the wind chime to attract evil spirits."

There is already a saying that the wind chimes summon the soul, And QingYi has been dealing with you, so you use the wind chimes to harm her! Isn't it! ”

She didn't listen to my explanation, grabbed me by the wrist, and her eyes were full of hatred: "You demon woman!" Hongu is going to arrest you to see the emperor! You use magic to murder concubines, the crime is extremely evil, and no matter how much the emperor loves you, you can't do anything wrong! ”

Her strength was so great that my weak body could not resist at all.

Jewel was worried about the death on the side, she wanted to go forward but was blocked by Concubine Yi's palace maid Yue Li, and even slapped Yue Li, My mother-in-law is teaching Ning Guiren, where is your turn to get a to intervene here! ”

In this way, Jewel and The Moon were deadlocked, and I was controlled by Concubine Yi, seeing that my body could not stand it and was about to crumbling, a bright yellow figure walked in from outside, and one of my hearts finally hung.

I looked at Concubine An gratefully, if she hadn't ordered the palace maid to invite the emperor, I would have folded under Concubine Yi.

The emperor's face was extremely ugly, and he ripped over Concubine Yi's split head and covered his face and trained: "You are an old man in the palace, how can you still do things like this, regardless of the consequences!"

So many people look at it, you are a concubine, the measurement is bigger, how can you not live with the little nobleman? Ning Gui's body is weak, and no matter how big things are, they must calm down and talk about it! ”

Concubine Yi was full of grievances and said urgently: "Your Majesty, the concubines are also too worried about Qian guiren, and whenever they see her like this, their hearts will be broken, how can the concubines, as cousins, let others bully her?" ”

So she added oil and vinegar to the folk wind chime summoning ghost, and said that I deliberately cursed and murdered in retaliation for Qiangui.

Naturally, I wanted to argue, and when I was about to open my mouth, a gust of wind blew the wind chimes under the eaves to make the wind chimes under the eaves crisp, and Xu Qingyi on the bed suddenly went crazy and screamed, and she covered her ears with her ears, and even scratched them with her fingernails, and the scratches were full of blood and did not stop.

She hissed, "Stop crying! I don't listen anymore, don't listen! The palace people quickly held her hand and did not let her continue.

This is undoubtedly evidence, and Concubine Yi will never let go: "Emperor, you see, it is that wind chime!" It must have attracted evil spirits, otherwise how could Qian Gui have auditory hallucinations?! ”

I cried out in a hurry, cold and coughing up blood, the emperor quickly supported me, ordered Duke Wei to move the stool, and said softly: "You sit down and say, don't be tired." ”

I sat down to calm my emotions before I spoke: "Concubine Yi, if the wind chime summoning soul is true, why are the other niangniang little lords all unharmed?"

Is it wrong for a concubine to simply pray for the blessing of a dead child? Ten thousand steps back, even if it is really related to wind chimes, why is it that qiangui people have an accident? Has Concubine Yi ever thought about it? ”

Concubine Yi's face immediately changed, and she swallowed her words: "Hongu... How does Hongu know what you have done..."

Concubine An took over the stubble and said suspiciously: "Qian gui people have always believed that there are babies crying, and Ning Gui people are praying for the blessing of the dragon fetus, and it is possible that qian gui and the death of the dragon fetus are related..."

Concubine Yi was furious: "Concubine An, you are so bold!" If you talk nonsense about this palace again, you will be punished for your sins!" ”

But the emperor looked at Qian Gui's eyes and had already developed a suspicion, and the Qian Gui on the bed suddenly reacted after hearing An Concubine's words, and his eyes were fixed on me:

"Did you let him take revenge?" You tell him not to cry, hurry! He kept crying and screaming, and I really couldn't stand it! I really can't stand it, I can't stand it..."

She was talking upside down, crazy, and terminally ill.

Er, she cried in a pleading tone, "Sister Youning, I was wrong, I really know that I was wrong.

I shouldn't have let people smear vegetable oil on the cobblestones, I shouldn't have replaced the master's rune paper, you can do anything to me, can you let him stop crying in my head? ”

I almost stopped breathing and said, "What are you talking about!" You killed my child! Why are you doing this! But she didn't hear it, she was still unconscious.

I couldn't control anything, so I knelt down before the emperor and cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, have you heard?" She is the one who harmed our children, Your Majesty, you must be the master of the concubines! ”

Long Yan was already enraged, "Concubine Yi, what's going on!" ”

Concubine Yi was so frightened that she didn't dare to come out: "Concubines... The concubines don't know anything... Qian Gui must be sick and confused... She's talking nonsense! ”

Duke Wei ordered someone to find Xu Qingyi's palace maid, and where the little palace lady could bear to confess quickly, it was indeed Qian Gui who bought the eunuch to put a horse bee in the peach forest, and then coated the cobblestone with vegetable oil, that is, to let me fall down and give birth while escaping the horse bee.

It was also Qian Gui who dug out the rune paper in the middle of the night and replaced it, so that she was not exposed.

The emperor was furious and directly gave death to xu for the crime of mutilating the dragon race, exposing the corpse to the wilderness. As for Concubine Yi, although she did not participate, she could not escape the crime of concealment, withdrew the right to temporarily manage the harem, and ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to remove the green head card for a whole year.

On the way back, An Concubine was more excited and happy than I was, and she cried and laughed again: "It is really the blessing of heaven, Ning Guiren, your child will finally rest in peace."

This matter is also thanks to Master Renzhi, he is really a god and immortal, and a wind chime really makes the murderer appear! ”

I nodded, "Yeah, if it weren't for Master Renzhi, how could my poor child have a time to reincarnate?" ”

In order to let my child go to reincarnation as soon as possible, I asked the emperor to go to the little Buddha hall to eat and pray for a month. I stroked his spirit card and held it tightly in my arms as if my baby were snuggled up to his chest and asleep.

The tears couldn't stop flowing down: "Child, the mother promised you that she will definitely make everyone who hurt you pay the price, Xu Qingyi is already dead, there is still Concubine Yi, and the mother promises that she will not live long." ”

Although the murderer was Xu Qingyi, she was instructed by Concubine Yi, and the real mastermind was None other than Concubine Yi.

For so many years, once a concubine in the harem became pregnant, she would unfortunately have a miscarriage. An Concubine is like this, Zhu Jieyu is also like this, I have heard them talk about the process, the most suspicious is Yi Concubine.

The harem is like a shuluo field, with a knife falling in his hand and killing people invisible.

I have solved Xu Qingyi, and the next one is Yifei. Yes, in fact, I have long known that Xu Qingyi is the murderer, and the so-called wind chime is also a bureau that I have carefully set up.

Shortly after the birth, Aunt Tang had heard that the eunuchs of Taolin had entered and exited Xu Qingyi's palace, but I was only suspicious, after all, there was a lack of evidence, so I invited Master Renzhi and begged him to cooperate with the acting, and he pitied me for losing my fetus and finally agreed.

In fact, when Xu Qingyi replaced the rune paper, I was hiding in the peach forest, and I saw the scene with my own eyes, and Jewel asked me why I didn't take her directly to the emperor, but I was afraid that she would go to the peach forest out of curiosity and leave herself behind.

So I couldn't bear it, let the spell paper be changed, and the next day staged a desperate play for them to see. Sure enough, they didn't suspect it, and I went along with the trend to send wind chimes to the palaces.

In fact, the wind chime summoning soul is just a superstitious word, where Xu Qingyi is haunted by some curse, I just made a little carving insect trick.

The wind chimes are just ordinary wind chimes, but the wind chimes given to Xu Qingyi are slightly different. I ordered someone to poke a small hole in the wind chime's several wind pipes, and when the wind blew into these small holes, it would make a whimpering sound, intermittently.

During the day, the palace is noisy, and the human ear will not care, but at night, everything is silent, and even the slightest noise will be amplified in the quiet hall.

The wind blew the pipe holes, blowing down the cracks in the walls into the sleeping hall, whistling and whimpering, sometimes like a wild cat in heat, sometimes like a baby crying.

Xu Qingyi already had a ghost in his heart, and when he heard such a voice, he must have thought that it was a ghost baby seeking revenge, and he was naturally frightened and insane.

Then I experienced it every night, and over time I couldn't distinguish between reality and illusion, and my whole mind was occupied by fear, and then even if I heard the wind chimes in the daytime, I would be frightened and scared.

Crazy and unconscious, she just wants to hear no sound as soon as possible, especially after seeing me, she will unconsciously confess the truth, in order to ask me to help her get rid of it.

As for why the little palace maid on duty had not heard, it was only because she was sitting outside the bedchamber. At night, the courtyard not only has the sound of insects, but also the rustling of leaves, so many sounds mixed with it can not take into account the strange sounds in the sleeping hall.

Most importantly, most of the palace ladies on duty at night are very tired, and they will fall asleep almost as soon as they sit down, so how can they hear the so-called baby crying?

Jewel handed the lit incense to me and said heartily, "Miss is really clever, no matter how they think, they think that god is obvious, karma, where can they think that everything is Miss's bureau?" ”

I took the incense, prayed to the spirit card, and inserted it into the incense burner, looking at the smoke-filled aroma, I slowly overflowed with a smile: "I said that I must let them bury my children!" Yifei, the next one is you! ”

I didn't expect that Princess Yi would take the initiative to come to the Little Buddha Hall to find me, in the past, she was dressed very plainly today, and her face was as good as a flower, and there was a little bit of tiredness on her face, presumably these days were not good.

Naturally, I didn't have a good look at her, and said coldly: "How could Concubine Yi come here with dignity and dignity?" Here is comparable to Niangniang's Yikun Palace! And the concubine and the concubine have no friendship to the point of visiting and caring! ”

She sat down and opened the door: "Hongu has something to say to you today, and I know that you resent this palace and are eager to drink blood and eat flesh from this palace, but the next words this palace must say to you, as to whether you still insist on killing this palace, it is not too late to calculate it." ”

I took a sip of tea and waited for her to say something nonsense.

She looked at the simple and unpretentious inner room of the Buddhist Hall and said slowly, "Ning Guiren eats and prays the Buddha here, do you know who the emperor has been favoring recently?"

It was the noble person you had helped in the first place, oh no, it should be called a delicate woman. Her great disrespect was found to have been framed by Qingyi, and the emperor personally took her out of the cold palace and pampered her extraordinarily. ”

I already knew this, and out of guilt and self-blame, the emperor not only promoted her position, but also tried his best to make up for her.

Concubine Yi looked at me and sighed slightly: "This palace is not worth it for you, you are here all day for the dead baby to feel sad and sobbing, but she accepted your blessing not only out of the cold palace, but also raised the fetus in the womb well, without being persecuted by anyone!" ”

I frowned, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Concubine Yi suddenly stared into my eyes and asked, "Have you never doubted whether the fetus in your womb ever existed?" ”

I didn't understand it anymore, and even became angry: "What exactly does Lady Yi have to say!" ”

Concubine Yi raised her eyebrows slightly, and the corners of her mouth were raised: "This palace also learned about it not long ago, and the Royal Doctor Wang, who has always been in charge of your fetus, once drank too much in the Huanchang Pavilion and said that he missed his mouth, and was listened to by the people of this palace."

Only then did Hongu understand this extremely absurd drama. It turns out that you, from beginning to end, have never been pregnant at all! ”

"What are you talking about!" I was shocked for half a day without saying a word, and it took a long time before I roared loudly, "Don't I even know that I am pregnant?" ”

"Hongu knew that you would react this way, and Hongu asked you, pregnant people will be nauseated and vomiting, tired and sleepy, have you ever had it?"

"I..."

In fact, when the imperial doctor said that I was pregnant, I was more surprised than happy. Because I was born weak, so before entering the palace, my mother once sought a doctor for me to diagnose the pulse, and the doctor said that my wet and cold breath was too heavy, it was not easy to get pregnant, and I had to adjust and consolidate for a long time.

I was most happy to learn that I was pregnant with a child.

But now, Concubine Yi was suspicious...

I carefully recalled the time when I was pregnant, and it was true that I did not have nausea and vomiting, nor did I have any sleepiness, but my body was very tired, and even my panting was very difficult. Even if the symptoms are not obvious, it is not necessarily that I am not pregnant.

Concubine Yi summoned the woman she was carrying: "This is Grandma Zeng, the bell doctor who treats the ladies and noblewomen outside the palace, if you let her diagnose your pulse, everything will be clear!" ”

I felt a pang of fear, and did not make a sound for a long time, and Concubine Yi saw herself, and she stared into my eyes, word by word:

"Do you want to keep the truth hidden for the rest of your life?" This is your body, and you should know all about it! You can't choose to escape, only to face it can make yourself stronger! ”

I groaned for a moment, and finally held out my right hand to let Grandma Zeng take the pulse.

She carefully examined it for a long time before she said, "Ning Xiao's main vein shows that she has never been pregnant, so there is no miscarriage at all." However, the old slave found that the little master's sunflower water had been delayed by drugs, so that now the pulse was disordered, and if he wanted to conceive, he had to recuperate for a long time. ”

I stood up in a hurry, pushed Grandma Zeng away, and angrily asked Concubine Yi, "You must have deliberately let her lie!" I don't believe it! I don't believe it! This is simply not true! ”

Concubine Yi was not in a hurry and smiled, "Good! You can go to the doctor to check the pulse, as long as it is not the imperial doctor in the palace, can you find a doctor who says that you are pregnant?

Why did the palace go around such a big circle to deceive you, was it really afraid that you would come to deal with the palace? Of course not! Hongu just can't see you being deceived by them! ”

At this point I finally believed it, and slumped on the stool in despair. I laughed out loud, and the more I laughed, the more difficult it became to hold myself, allowing tears to cover my entire cheeks.

Physically and mentally miserable, I once again vomited blood and asked with all my strength, "Why did he..."

It seemed to be the most desperate moment of my life, when I thought I had cried when I lost my child, but I was not afraid. But at this moment, I was so scared that my whole body trembled.

The person I believed in the most, respected and loved the most, actually lied to me the deepest, I thought he must like me a little, otherwise every time I talk about love can always touch me deeply, otherwise how can I always be good to me, so good that I think I have won the whole world?

Why, exactly? Why lie to me?

From beginning to end, I never demanded that he be single-minded, I only hoped that even if there was even a slight position in his heart, it was enough, but everything was an illusion, and it turned out that the illusions about him liking me were just a dream of mine.

I ended up overestimating myself.

Concubine Yi came over and tapped me on the shoulder, as if to comfort me, as if to warn herself: "In this deep palace, don't give your heart, all men in the world are weak, only yourself is the most important." ”

I tried to calm myself down and asked softly, "I don't understand, why is he doing this?" ”

Concubine Yi laughed to herself, "Naturally it is to be wary of this palace." You should have also heard about the emperor and the lord of Chaoyang County, the emperor was obsessed with her, but it was a pity that his face was red and short-lived, and his love was not long gone.

But what you don't know is that Xian JieYu and the Lord of Chaoyang County are somewhat similar, and what you don't know is that two months ago, the emperor had a show girl by the carp pond, and at that time, the palace did not know who it was, but the palace only learned a few days ago that it was a noble person! ”

I was so surprised that I couldn't speak, and it took a long time before I spat out a few words: "Is the emperor... To protect her? ”

YiFei sneered and nodded, "Exactly! Only because she already had a dragon in her belly! ”

"You... What did you say! She... Pregnant?! ”

"Yeah, why would he send her to the Cold Palace?" It's not that Hongu is afraid of attacking the fetus in her womb!

Only by hiding her in the cold palace will she not attract attention, can we better protect her, and will we let the spearhead of the palace be transferred to others. And that person is you. ”

I seemed to understand everything in an instant, and in an instant I suddenly realized that I was at the mercy of others like a marionette, completely played.

A raging wave of hatred erupted from the bottom of his heart, constantly accumulating momentum in his body, as if he was about to collapse at any moment.

It turned out that the emperor had favored me only to divert my attention and make me the person who showed me in the forest.

He was afraid that Concubine Yi would notice Concubine Xian, so he used me to disturb Concubine Yi's sight so that Concubine Could raise a baby in the Cold Palace.

The xianjie I saw in the cold palace was only that she deliberately pretended to be pitiful in front of me and aroused my sympathy. And the reason why the emperor deceived me into becoming pregnant was to use me to deal with Concubine Yi and Xu Qingyi.

Everything was arranged by him long ago, arranging Grandma Tang by my side, secretly letting me take the soup medicine that delayed the sunflower water, and then letting the imperial doctor tell me that I was pregnant, and Xingshi moved the public to inform the palace, from beginning to end, just let Concubine Yi be busy around me.

Princess Yi was really deceived and wanted to remove the fetus in my womb, so she let Xu Qingyi secretly do it, and Aunt Tang took advantage of my fainting in Taolin to find an imperial doctor to stage a small birth.

After that, Aunt Tang deliberately told me that seeing Xu Qingyi buy the Taolin eunuch made me determined to take revenge.

And naturally I did not disappoint them, invited Master Renzhi, although they did not know the role of the wind chimes, but mistakenly thought that the wind chimes summoned the soul to find the murderer Xu Qingyi, Xu Qingyi is Yifei's cousin, whether involved or not, Yifei can not escape the crime of shelter.

In this way, Xian Jieyu has been raising a fetus in the cold palace for more than two months, and it will be three months in a short time, the dragon fetus is stable, and it is too late for others to want to do tricks and feet.

And Concubine Yi's momentum weakened, losing both the qualification of the attendant and the sovereignty of the harem, and for the concubine, she lost everything.

There was a sneer in my heart, the emperor's plan to kill two birds with one stone was really perfect.

"I don't understand, why choose me?"

"Because you are weak, only if you lose your child will others be extremely sympathetic, and they will be able to stand on your side and work together to deal with hongu."

Also, you have helped the nobles, for her, only you have more courage to ignore Qingyi's brutality and domineering, in exchange for others, maybe you don't have the guts. ”

When it came, Concubine Yi patted me on the shoulder again: "It is true that this palace cannot tolerate others to give birth to dragons, but your child did not die at the hands of this palace, so your enemy is not this palace at all."

The palace has informed you of this today, that is, to ask your heart, is it really tolerant of this deception? After she finished speaking, she left without turning her head back.

Yifei is right, she is not my enemy, the real enemy is the person who wears the mask of kindness but is extremely terrible.

I suddenly remembered what my mother said, the most ruthless imperial family, the king is like a bloodthirsty poisonous snake, do not have mercy and admiration, if you are not careful, you will end up with the stupid farmer, lost in the mouth of the poisonous snake. Do you remember?

I took it to heart, but I didn't do it.

Fortunately, I still have room for regret, and since they have let me suffer so long in the pain of losing my child, I will also give them a taste of my despair and sorrow in tit-for-tat.

Don't blame me for being cruel, they cheated first, and I was never a weak and deceitful person.

11

I came out of the small Buddha Hall half a month in advance, a few days later the envoys of the small country came to the court, the emperor and the envoys were drunk, after the banquet I personally brought soup to send over, the emperor saw that it was me, and praised me for being understanding, gentle and virtuous.

I watched him drink every drop of the soup, and then I obediently withdrew from the Yangxin Temple. I knew he would go to Hershey's bedchamber later, and I just had to wait for the news.

The next morning, Xian Jieyu sent bad news, saying that the imperial doctor had gone several times, but she did not know what had happened. Jewel went to inquire several times and three times, but she didn't touch anything, and the concubines all wanted to visit, and they were all ordered to evict.

It wasn't until three days later that we were allowed to enter the palace, only to see that Xian Jieyu had a miserable face, a sad face, and a red and swollen forehead, like a bumped lump.

We asked her what had happened, but she didn't say anything, just burst into tears. Everyone couldn't ask anything, so they had to leave.

I was the last to go, before leaving I pulled Qiu Tong to ask questions, she looked at the fact that I had helped Xian Jieyu before she said:

"Ning Guiren mo asked, little lord she suffered a lot, but this suffering can not tell others, she can only hold it in her heart, maybe a while later it will be fine."

However, the truth was not as she thought, since this incident, Xian Jieyu had become wooden and calm, locking herself in the sleeping hall all day, not going out or letting people in.

Even the emperor, she did not see the door behind closed doors, and over time, the people in the palace had speculations, and there must be a gap between them. The emperor was such an arrogant person who refused to put down his body, so he never came to her again.

And I lowered my eyebrows, tossed and turned, and soon became a spoiled concubine again. Soon after, I was promoted to a noble concubine.

I almost forgot about Xian Jieyu, until one day a few months later, Qiu Tong came to ask me to ask the imperial doctor to save her master, and I saw the terminally ill Xian Jieyu.

She was already too thin to look like she was, and after she fell out of favor, her life became more and more difficult, and even the medicine she drank every day would lose a few tastes. In the long run, her body was getting worse and worse, and even if she found a divine doctor now, it would be useless.

The doctor shook his head and asked me to accompany her on her last journey.

Xian Jieyu looked at me, tears incessantly, and then weakly spat out a few words: "I am sorry for you..." After she finished, she lost her breath.

I was stunned for a long time, and finally I laughed out loud on my lower abdomen, and I waited so long that she finally died in front of me.

12

Yes, my revenge began with that bowl of decanting soup.

I asked Jewel to find a colorless and tasteless aphrodisiac from outside the palace, and the effect of the medicine was onset, and the emperor only thought that the wine was not gone. This medicine is extremely effective, and no matter how much restraint and patience can eliminate the desire of a normal man.

Xian Jieyu is still a few days away from being pregnant in three months, if the same room dragon fetus is not guaranteed, she will not agree to it, and she will do everything to stop it. But how tough she was to the emperor, pushing and pulling hard in the process of accidentally bumping into the corner of the table, resulting in a small birth.

This was what I had learned from the little palace maid in her bedchamber, and although I had not seen it with my own eyes, a little speculation would have made me guess what had happened that night.

She resented the emperor, which alienated him. And this also became an indelible regret in her heart, and eventually depressed.

Obviously, killing his own child with his own hands made the emperor also grief-stricken, and I took advantage of this time to care for him every day, and since he thought I was understanding, I wanted to use this gentle knife to the extreme.

My thoughtfulness and gentleness made him gradually regain his smile, and he indulged in my gentle country. I also worked hard to nourish myself during this period, and finally had a child of my own two months ago. The emperor was overjoyed and promoted me to a noble concubine.

This time, I won't let anyone take him away. This child, he will be everything to me, a continuation of my bloodline and hope.

One day, I took the opportunity to transfer Aunt Tang and selected a few successful palace people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to cultivate them into confidants and ensure that nothing would go wrong.

Seven months later, I gave birth to a baby boy, the first prince in the palace and the second imperial heir besides The little princess of Concubine Qi. The emperor was the most excited, and even gave me the title of De, and I became one of the four concubines.

Concubine Yi made a comeback during the period when I was raising the fetus and regained the right to manage the harem.

During this period, many young lords also became pregnant, but without exception, they were unfortunate to have a miscarriage. The emperor ordered Duke Wei to investigate thoroughly, but it was never successful.

The following year, a cloud suddenly appeared in the harem, and she looked like a concubine, which was no less than the former Concubine, and the most important thing was that she and the Lord of Chaoyang County were seven points similar.

She was not only beautiful, but also intelligent, and in less than three months, she removed the unparalleled concubine of the holy grace, and became one of the four concubines, becoming a concubine.

I hadn't seen her yet, but I knew that my battle with her had begun not so long ago, that she was giving birth to new life in her womb, and that I must not let her be born.

Yes, I have done the frequent miscarriages of harem women in the past year, and in this deep palace full of flowers but hidden fangs, I have long lost my heart, and all I have in my heart is the hatred of wildfire and the burning desire for power.

I want the harem to have only my children, I want the emperor to experience the pain of losing children again and again, and I want to sit on the throne of the empress and firmly control the power in my hands.

In the end, I will raise my children well, and then watch him ascend to the dragon throne and turn the whole world into the palm of my family.

Who said, I can't be the final winner of this palace.
