Chapter 34 Chapter 34 Pregnant

(slave) I'm pregnant. I was stunned, a little unable to believe this fact. The child belongs to the twelve princes...but it cannot belong to the twelve princes. I didn't expect that an accidental marriage would make me pregnant. I stretched out my hand unconsciously to my flat belly, feeling the warmth there, thinking that there was a little life breathing and growing in my body, as if Cheng'er was alive again. come over. I knew how dangerous it would be, but I couldn't bear to kill it, because I had already lost a child and I didn't want to lose another. So the eyes gradually became firmer, and I secretly made up my mind that I want to give birth to it and protect it well.

A new life cheers me up, because the responsibility of being a mother has been shouldered on me. She no longer dared to easily trust the palace people around her, only Shanshan knew about it in the whole palace. Shanshan panicked and said, "What should I do?" I said to her word by word: "I want to be favored." Only in this way can the child be saved, and it is justified. Shanshan called me sadly, "Miss..." I turned my head away from her and said softly, "Even if I feel uncomfortable..." I thought of my father-in-law Zhu who passed away a month ago.

Before he died, he said to me: "In fact, the Holy Majesty still cares about you, empress. Now he often sleeps restlessly, and his body is not as good as before. As long as you don't be so stubborn, Empress Empress... Empress Empress, you said that you have nothing to do with the emperor. What good is it? The emperor later recruited Yucai just to make you submit..." yield.Such words made me sneer. Eunuch Zhu took a deep breath, and said weakly: "The empress should also be careful of that talented person, she once said bad things about you and King Duanyu... At that time, the emperor was so sullen that she didn't dare to say it again. But she came out of your palace, and those who know the basics must be carefully protected..."

His body is still so sincere and he warned me so sincerely, which moved me for a while. Eunuch Zhu looked at me and showed a slight smile. He was always strict in the palace, or he was making an apology. It was the first time I saw him smiling like this. "The old servant became the chief executive of the palace from a young eunuch. It is because of your mother's glory that he can serve such a clever woman as the empress. This life is enough. In fact... Madam, don't hate the emperor, he He really loves your mother...Of course, he also likes you..." These words puzzled me for a long time.

"Miss?" The kind voice brought me back to reality. I smiled wickedly, "Didn't Yucai want evidence against me and the Twelfth Prince? Well, I'll give her a chance to do meritorious service." The first thing I did was order Ruyi to pick flowers in Qinchunyuan.However, this is not just a simple picking, it is a hidden oath, and it is an opportunity for the concubines in the harem to pay close attention to me again. I painted my eyebrows carefully, looked at myself in the mirror, and thought to myself, how long has it been since the decals on the mirror have turned yellow?

Then I glanced at the hourglass next to me, got up and said to Shanshan: "Shan, we should go." Sure enough, after a while, there was a noisy voice behind me, I knew that Hua Splash was coming, and I brought the emperor as I wished, and brought the emperor to witness my tryst with the twelve princes. I ignored them and continued to dance. I find that when I dance with a purpose, it's more beautiful and more soul-stirring than usual. That was the first time I wore white clothes. If white is the color people wear when they die, how do you know that I am not dead now?Otherwise, why is my heart so cold and numb, and I can't experience the joy of dancing at all.

Under the pear blossoms in succession, I waved my white gauze sleeves and danced and twirled lightly, blooming like a flower. When I stopped, the pear petals also fell to the ground, and then I saw the eyes of the emperor staring at me blankly, and from his eyes I saw my mother. I made a very surprised expression, panted slightly, kneeled in front of the emperor in panic and said: "I don't know that the emperor is coming, please the emperor to make amends." The emperor didn't answer me, Hua Splash looked left and right with tears, and blurted out rashly: "Are you alone?"

I looked up at her, and answered with a clear conscience: "I don't know what Yucairen is asking? Recently, it was the anniversary of my mother's death, so I came here to pay homage to her. I danced because of a moment of sadness. What's wrong with Yucairen..." Hua Splash suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing in a hurry, and her expression became uneasy. The emperor gave her a blank look, and then turned around and said in a cold tone: "Put on a shelf and go back to the palace." Fengyi Palace returned to joy again and again. The corners of Chu Zi's eyes couldn't hide her elation, and she asked half proudly and half proudly, "Ma'am, should we clean Fengyi Palace properly?"

I gave her a strange look and asked, "What are you doing for the unprovoked cleaning?" Chu Zi replied in amazement: "Welcome to the holy car." Then she explained: "Your Majesty, you don't know how beautiful your dance was that day. Seeing that the emperor is already in love, he will definitely come to see your empress soon." I shook my head, and said calmly: "The emperor will not come, and will never come to Fengyi Palace again. What do you think golden words are?" Chu Zi was startled, and said dully: "Then, then..." Seeing her bewildered look, I smiled and ordered, "Don't tidy up or clean up, just take your most cherished items with you."

Chu Zi's eyes were a bit confused, but I didn't explain further, but looked up at the sky, and said seemingly unintentionally, "It's windy tonight." At night, the flames of Fengyi Palace soared into the sky, reflecting the darkness like day. It was impossible not to alarm the people in the palace. The eunuchs and palace maids carried buckets back and forth in panic and panic, shouting in their mouths: "The water is gone, the water is gone..." With a robe on my head, I was rescued by Shanshan and the others, and then I turned around and silently looked at Fengyi Palace, which was gradually dying in the bright flames.

Shanshan and the others watched me sadly, and tears gradually flowed down. In the reflection of the fire, it turned out to be a golden-red color, which was incomparably beautiful. "Your Majesty, we have nowhere to go..." they wept softly. nowhere?Isn't that how it used to be? At this time, the emperor rushed over after hearing the sound, with a look of shock and concern. My robe and hair accessories are a little messy, but I know it's just right, and it will make me look more beautiful in this firelight. With tears in my eyes, I called timidly and sadly: "Your Majesty..." Then I fell limp in his arms, my body trembling slightly, and I clung to his lapel tightly like grabbing a life-saving straw. Weeping. The emperor hesitated, but finally put his hand on my back and patted me to coax me. I was buried in his arms, weeping, but the corners of my mouth were raised slightly unknown. At this moment, Hua Splash's voice sounded restless and panicked, "Your Majesty, it's late at night, and the empress has been disturbed, why don't you go to the concubine to rest first?" I sneered from the bottom of my heart, splashing tears, what else do you want to redeem now?This game was not decided by you from the very beginning, and you are beyond your control. I quickly shook my head in the emperor's arms, sobbed and said: "Your Majesty, my concubine was really scared just now, not because I was afraid of dying, but because I was afraid that I would never see you again... Ball, please don't leave my concubine..." The emperor held me in his arms pitifully, and told the left and right: "Take the empress back to Changchun Palace." The palace attendants quietly left, leaving me and the emperor alone in the room. I looked around inadvertently, how long had it been since I came here, it was so familiar yet so strange. Then I sobbed softly again, my shoulders trembled slightly, the emperor's hand covered my shoulders from behind, and he sighed softly. I turned my head and looked at him with tears in my eyes. The emperor was a little dazed, raised my chin, looked at me and sighed, "You are so charming tonight..." I couldn't cry, I just said: "The concubine regrets that..." There was tenderness in his eyes, and I fell obediently into his arms. It was a sad night, I carefully protected myself under him, my body was soft, but my heart was numb. However, it was another strange night, Fengyi Palace was destroyed in a raging fire, I lost everything, but got everything back. I went back to Xiao Ya Zhai again. Although Xiao Ya Zhai is luxurious, it is no longer suitable for my status, so the emperor gave me several palaces near it, and let me live here temporarily. Everyone lamented and lamented that the countless rare treasures and celebrity calligraphy and paintings in Fengyi Palace were destroyed in the fire, but I smiled indifferently and said affirmatively to Shanshan: "Shan, it's okay , and will get more in the future.” Those people only saw the magnificence of Fengyi Palace, but they didn't know that Xiaoyazhai was my favorite place. It's just because Fengyi Palace is located in the harem, and Xiaoyazhai is the closest to the place where the emperor discusses affairs and the bedroom, so it is the most important thing to be by the emperor's side at all times. After falling out of favor, he regained his favor and loved him even more. Those gorgeous clothes, exquisite embroidery, and rare jewelry and jade toys are continuously offered to Xiaoyazhai. Afterwards, the women in the harem flocked to see the wind and the rudder, and when they looked around, they were all flattering and flattering. The palace people were a little bit aggrieved, I just smiled and said, "People are like this, it's just that you and I know what's going on in our hearts." Yes, I did not crowd out and take revenge on anyone after I regained my favor, I only did two things. I stood in front of Concubine Shuxian, smiled slightly at her, and said, "Concubine Xian has been taking care of the affairs of the harem on my behalf for nearly a year. It's really not easy." Concubine Shuxian's face turned pale, and she said in fear: "The concubine is stupid, it's really hard to do. Now the empress is in good health, which makes the concubine happy. Tomorrow, no, this afternoon, the concubine will return the Fengxi seal..." I nodded in satisfaction and said condescendingly, "Thank you for your hard work." The second thing is to promote Hua Splash to Rong Jieyu. This was beyond everyone's expectations, even the emperor's. I smiled coquettishly, looked at the emperor and said jokingly: "When the concubines make the emperor sad and angry, thanks to Hua Splash and Lei serving by his side, shouldn't they be rewarded?" The emperor smiled awkwardly, "So Aifei is blaming me." I changed my face and said: "How could it be? Even if the concubine feels uncomfortable, it is because she cares about the emperor. After all, Hua Splash Lei is a person who came out of the concubine's palace, so she is always closer than others." I even often persuaded the emperor to go to Huaspilei's palace, so since I regained favor, instead of being neglected as everyone thought, Huaspilei has become even more favored. I looked at the flowers splashing tears in front of me, and I sneered in my heart. Scared?Knowing who I am, it scares you more when I don't do anything, doesn't it? I stretched out my hand to straighten the hairpin on her hair, and said, "You are the emperor's favorite concubine now, how can you not pay attention to your appearance? Others should say that I have not been well trained..." I exerted some strength secretly, splashing tears and suffering pain, but trembling and afraid to say a word. I smiled, stared straight at her, and told her word by word, "Fire, it won't happen for no reason, I will investigate." Hua Splash looked at me in a daze at first, but gradually his face turned pale. The next day, there was a secret rumor in the palace that Hua Splash and Lei sent someone to set fire to kill me. That's enough, the next thing is to wait for a good day and tell the emperor that I'm pregnant again. Shanshan asked me quietly: "Miss, that fire is really like tears..." I stroked my stomach softly, and said calmly: "Is there something wrong with it? Anyway, everyone in the harem believes that she wants to harm me, and she has every reason." "This is enough?" I sighed, lowered my eyes, and slowly said to Shanshan: "Shan, you know that I can't be favored with this body, I need such a person to help me distract the emperor's attention..." "But she betrayed you..." Mentioning her, the always easy-going Shanshan couldn't help feeling a little bit of hatred. "But she's still useful." I just answered her briefly like this. As summer comes, people in the palace put on light gauze clothes, which makes people feel lighter. It was on such a day that I told the emperor that I was happy again, and of course the day was a good one. I looked at the emperor earnestly and said to him: "Your Majesty, this is God's favor for us." The emperor was silent, then heaved a long sigh and said: "Maybe it's God's will that I have a son twice in old age." Then he took my hand and promised: "If it is the emperor's son, I will make him the prince, and I will never fail you. " I smiled and bowed respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your protection." It's just that this pregnancy is different from the last one. It's quiet and doesn't bother me much. I'm a little worried, and even doubt it really exists. The elder palace man comforted me and said: "It is always harder for a woman to get pregnant the first time, but it will be much better the second time." I feel a little more at ease, but I don't dare to neglect at all. I am more cautious about food supplies than before. The harem was peaceful, and everything seemed to have returned to the previous track.Concubines and concubines in the harem pay respects regularly every day, and there is a hierarchy of rank. Also, who dares to move if I don’t move? Only Hua Pai Lei continued to be pampered amidst the growing fear and anxiety every day. What I did was to cultivate my moral character, listen to songs and dances in my spare time, appreciate poems and paintings, copy Buddhist scrolls, and asked people to donate temples outside the palace. The palace people praised: "The queen's empress is so kind, she will surely accumulate blessings for the unborn dragon son." But I was just silent, noncommittal, and put my hand on my belly unconsciously, thinking that it might also be born on the basis of someone else's life. There was no big movement in the court, but Prime Minister You and his gang secretly collected all kinds of criminal evidence against Prime Minister Zuo and tried their best to win over the forces that did not agree with Prime Minister Zuo. Prime Minister You knew what this move meant, but he couldn't hide his uneasiness. I comforted him and said, "You don't need to worry. Your Majesty has wanted to be Prime Minister Zuo for a long time, especially as his health has gotten worse recently, and he doesn't want to leave him behind in the court." It's just that you don't act rashly now, let alone leak any news." Prime Minister You nodded his head one by one. That day when Hua Splash Lei was paying her a routine greeting in the morning, instead of just giving her a lukewarm response and telling her to go back as usual, I got up and stretched out my hand to her and said, "Help me out for a walk." .” Hua Splash raised her head, her eyes were a little apprehensive, but also a little relieved like a hanging stone falling to the ground, she knew that I was finally going to say something to her. I have a heavy waist, a big belly, and I walked very slowly. She followed me carefully and supported me. That cautious look reminded me of when she was my palace maid. Along the way, I just watched flowers, grass, birds and insects, and didn't say anything, but I felt her vaguely restless breathing. I looked back at her, then smiled and picked up a red flower with morning dew, and handed it to her. She took it with trepidation and trepidation, but her eyes were puzzled. I stared at her and said: "Flower splashing tears? Flower splashing tears, right? Isn't this delicate flower just you? Although it is said that the crystal water droplets on its petals are dew, how do you know that it is not the flowers that weep overnight and leave behind?" Where are the tear stains?" She was still puzzled, and in the end she could only guess and say, "It's all named after the empress." I smiled noncommittally, "Are you up well? I said earlier that among the palace people, you might be the most blessed, and now I see that it is indeed true. Do you remember Wu Cainu? She gave birth to the emperor concubine for the emperor." It's just a girl picker, and you have become Jieyu with the humble status of a maid, and now the emperor visits you the most times every month, and often praises you in front of me, saying that you are gentle and courteous, and let me be like this before. It's an honor to be your master. But now that I think about it, do you think it's too sad and unlucky?" Hua Splash was panicked by my words, she became restless, so she turned to Ju Si who accompanied her and said, "It's cool in the morning, go back and get a coat for the empress to put on." This is half the tone of the master's order, which surprised Ju Si for a moment, and then turned to look at me and asked. I didn't feel annoyed at all, instead I rebuked Jusi with a half smile: "What are you still doing? Jieyu has spoken, do you, a slave, dare not listen?" Ju Si left with some anxiety, Hua Splash watched her with tears until her figure disappeared, then turned her head and said straight to me: "Miss, I have served you for so long, and I know your style well. I know you If you can't spare me, why do you say those words to me? Now there is no one else, so just say what you want!" There was a faint expression on my face, but I didn't speak, I just walked forward slowly as if I turned a deaf ear. Further forward is a section of bluestone steps, and I go down cautiously in small steps with my waist in hand. Seeing that I was silent, Hua Splash chased after me unwillingly. "Miss!" She called again eagerly from behind. I stopped suddenly when I was only four or five steps above the ground, snorted coldly, and finally answered her: "What do I want?" Then I looked back at her, took two steps back and stood on the next level of her, looking straight in front of her. She was a little terrified of being stared at by me, and instinctively wanted to back away, but I grabbed the front of her front, and I whispered each word in her ear: "I want you to die." Her eyes were wide open, but before she could react, I suddenly gave her a slight nudge. She was startled but easily stood firm, but I, who had a heavy waist, was pushed down the stone steps step by step by the reaction force. Rolling down to the grass below. My abdomen was hit by a bump, and I curled up on the ground in pain, and then I heard Cusi's terrified cry from above: "Come on, Rong Jieyu pushed the empress down!" On that day, although it was announced that there was still more than one month due date, it was actually the day when I was close to giving birth. Although it was the second delivery, it was particularly difficult and long because of the tire inflation. I screamed and groaned loudly, but it was not enough to relieve my pain. I felt that my whole body was covered with sweat, and a large drop of sweat came out from my forehead, sticking to my hair, and Shanshan nervously wiped it off for me from time to time. The midwife urged her frequently in her ear, "Empress Empress, try harder...just harder..." Bursts of pain hit me, and my hands tightly gripped the mattress under me, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't exert any more strength. I caught a glimpse of the midwife's strange expression. She winked at another aunt beside her, and the aunt's expression changed accordingly, and then she turned and went out. After a while, the aunt came back with a solemn expression, whispered something in the midwife's ear, and the midwife nodded slightly. Another burst of pain hit me, and I couldn't stop screaming. I grabbed the midwife's arm with my sweaty hands with all my strength, and said to her weakly but firmly: "My child... Remember, protect the child..." The midwife looked at me in surprise, but I didn't have time to repeat it at this time, another pain in my lower body made me groan again in pain. This repeated torture had already tortured me to the point of death. I just felt like I was lying limp on the bed like mud. I even gave up my last effort. I just slowly turned my head to look at Shanshan, who was pale and red and swollen eyes, and tried to show her A smile, "Goodness, don't be sad for me, I deserve what I deserve..." Shanshan's tears finally couldn't hold back, she threw herself on me and said, "Miss, don't say that..." I shook my head, and said weakly to the midwife through Shanshan: "Don't worry about me anymore... As long as you give birth to the child, you will definitely, definitely be rewarded..." The midwife was hesitant, impatient and apprehensive, and replied: "But the emperor... the little one would never dare to resist the order..." "You are also a mother, so you should know how it feels to be a parent... there is more important than my own life... I will not allow God to snatch my child away for the second time..." I gasped and said intermittently. The midwife looked startled, and then finally sighed, took out a white porcelain bottle from the end plate held by Gong'e, and poured out a red pill in her hand. This pill will do what I want, keep my baby and give up my own life. Shanshan shook her head in horror, suddenly she remembered something, and ran to the side drawer to find something frantically, then ran to me and held a cold thing tightly in my hand. I trembled all over, I didn't need to look at that thing to know what it was, how many days and nights I just held it and wept silently towards it. Shanshan said eagerly: "Miss, think about the little prince who died innocently... Who the hell killed him? We haven't even avenged him yet..." Revenge, these two words woke me up. That's right, Cheng'er died tragically, and I haven't even found out the murderer yet... I am not reconciled to death. As I thought about it, a pain that seemed to be breaking out of the cocoon surged up under my body. I couldn't help but feel that my hands were tightly clenched, and Cheng'er's longevity lock was deeply embedded in the flesh. I couldn't feel it. I felt the pain, but I desperately gathered all my strength into my abdomen, and cooperated with the midwife's guidance to exert force. Finally, in my final roar, I suddenly felt something slipping out of my body, and then I heard the baby's big wow Crying, the body is relaxed for a long time... This time the midwife was not as elated as last time, but with a gentle smile, she handed me the swaddle embroidered with hundreds of clusters of peonies in red brocade, and said softly: "The empress, you are a beautiful little princess... ..." I was taken aback, as if I hadn't reacted yet. In fact, I should have known that when I saw the swaddling baby, the rules in the palace were that the prince was born wrapped in golden dragon brocade, and the emperor was wrapped in red peony. Shanshan sighed with regret, "If only I were a little prince..." I shook my head, quickly took the child into my arms, and lowered my head to carefully examine the kitten-like child in my arms, only to see that she was fat and chubby when she was born, and she was much more attractive. Relieved in my heart, I couldn't help showing a slight smile on my mouth. I gently pressed my face against hers, and felt that she was so gentle and soft, and my heart softened accordingly. If I still have a little use of Cheng'er, then what else is there to treat her other than pure love, I love my daughter. All the people in the room were moved with emotion, and Shanshan was also quietly wiping away tears happily. At this time, the emperor strode in. He walked quickly to my bed, looked at me and the child in my arms, his eye circles were a little red because he was relieved, he nodded repeatedly and said: "Mother and child are safe, mother and child are safe." it is good……" At that moment, my heart was a little loose, but it was quickly covered by indifference, and I just looked up at the emperor with a faint smile. The emperor sat down next to me, looked at the baby in my arms with me, his eyes were soft, but he also sighed: "It's just a pity..." "There is nothing to regret..." I said, "she is our child." "Yes, yes," said the emperor rubbing his hands, then reached out and touched the baby's little face, his love was beyond words, and he said with a smile, "Would you like to name our child?" I looked down at my daughter and thought for a while, then said, "Ten is full, and full is bad; if one is nine, let's call her Jiuzhen." "Jiuzhen, Jiuzhen..." the emperor murmured and repeated, "It's a good name. I hope our little daughter will live a long life... let's call her Jiuzhen." Then he thought of something again, and said with a hint of anger on his face: "It's true that you know people, face, and heart. That flower splashed tears in front of me, looking virtuous and virtuous, but I don't know that her mind is so vicious. You usually treat her preferentially. I didn't expect that she would avenge her kindness, causing you to give birth prematurely...It is also fortunate that our daughter is blessed with a great life, although she is not yet a month old, she is still healthy...Otherwise, I will not be able to easily let her go..." I listened expressionlessly and asked, "How did your majesty deal with her?" The emperor was still angry, and said: "I have ordered people to put her in death row, and she will be executed tomorrow." "Let's wait until the full moon of Jiuzhen." I said. The emperor was slightly surprised, then nodded. At this time, Jiuzhen in her arms waved her little hands and began to cry. The nanny who was standing not far away hurried over to hug her, and said, "Empress, little Diji is hungry." After hearing this, I looked up at her, and at the same time lifted my clothes, and said, "I want to feed my child myself." I still don't know how Cheng'er died, but I will never let this happen to Jiuzhen again. Not only did I breastfeed her myself, I even moved her crib to my bedroom to guard her every day and every night. This way of overstepping the palace rules caused an uproar inside and outside the harem, everyone was talking behind their backs, but they didn't dare to say anything openly, the emperor also let me go because of the guilt in his heart. It is very hard to take care of the baby, and Jiuzhen often cries at night, I have to hold her and coax her all night, because of this, the emperor who has to get up early to go to court cannot often stay overnight in Xiaoyazhai. Sleeping alone in Changchun Palace at night, I myself was exhausted. Shanshan sighed and said: "Miss, you have to do everything yourself, why bother..." I stared at Jiuzhen who was sleeping soundly in my arms after breastfeeding, smiled gently, and replied, "Although I am very tired, I am very at ease." Since Cheng'er's death, I haven't slept peacefully.Guilt and unwillingness often make me wake up in the middle of the night, and then I will run to Jiuzhen's cradle to make sure she is safe and sound before I can sleep peacefully again. The emperor loves Jiuzhen very much, it is said that he loves Jiuzhen more than any of his previous children, and sometimes even holds her on his lap when discussing with ministers, and is reluctant to let her go. With my meticulous care and the emperor's special love, everyone said that she is the most honorable little imperial concubine of Dayin Kingdom. I looked at the shining pair of exquisite phoenix bracelets on Jiuzhen's chubby little hands, raised her little hands and kissed them affectionately on my lips, and said to her secretly in my heart, the queen mother wants the best in the world For you, let you be carefree and happy all your life. On the day of Jiuzhen's full moon, she was conferred the title of Emperor Ji of Duoyi. After Jiuzhen's full moon, I went to death row and watched Hua Splashed Tears. She was wearing a dirty coarse prison uniform, her hair was disheveled, she looked at me blankly, "Miss, you are so cruel..." I saw that she didn't speak, but she went on to say: "Miss, you won... It's not that I can't beat you, it's that you beat yourself, you don't even want your own life..." I looked up at her, and asked calmly word by word: "I just want to ask you, who killed my child?" She was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed wildly, "So you still don't know... Even if you are as smart as a young lady, there are still things you can't know... Hahahaha..." Then she stopped laughing, her expression was full of gloating, and she said viciously Said: "Miss, you are in pain. I won't say it, I won't say it, you don't know, you will be in pain for a lifetime... a lifetime!" My face was already pale, and I pointed at her with trembling fingers, "Put her to death! Ten fingers connected to my heart, I will make her feel miserable until she wants to say it!" However, all kinds of cruel tortures were used, and Hua Splash did not reveal a word after all, and finally died tragically in the prison. I summoned Jingming, his face was frightened at first, but then gradually calmed down, he knelt down and asked calmly, "Is Miss here to pick up the servant?" The palace servants around me had already shown an expression of indignation, glaring at me. But I chuckled lightly and said, "How did you say such shameless words?" Jing Ming said seriously: "Because I have never betrayed the young lady before. It was the young lady who abandoned the young lady before, and the young lady had no choice but to find another master. After knowing the young lady, take heart, isn't the young lady doing well enough? Otherwise..." I waved my hand to tell the palace people to leave, and Jingming continued in a low voice: "Otherwise, Huaspianlei would trust the emperor to see the beautiful dance of the young lady? Could it be that the slave is not good enough?" "You're still as glib. But I can't accept you now, you should go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs first." Jingming kowtowed gratefully and said, "Miss Xie is very kind." I nodded and didn't say much, and was about to leave, when I heard Jing Ming hesitantly say from behind: "Actually...Miss doesn't need to watch Xiao Di Ji so closely, but it will make it difficult for that person to strike... ..." I turned my head, squinted my eyes and asked him: "You mean to use Jiuzhen as bait to lure that murderer to commit another crime..." Jing Ming bowed his head to express his acquiescence. I sighed, shook my head helplessly, and said, "I can't... I can't let Jiuzhen go to try even a small danger... I can only take precautions, more vigilant precautions." Jing Ming also sighed, "Miss is too concerned about it, so I can't help it." Afterwards, Tusi asked me, "Why did Miss spare Jingming so lightly?" I snorted softly and said, "If he was terrified, I would kill him without hesitation; but if he was calm, then I would not dare to kill him, because he must have reasons and reasons that I would not kill him." evidence." Cusi was a little shocked when she heard this, and I sighed softly and said, "You can't think of it? Even if you are as noble as me, there are people and things that you have to be afraid of. Everything is entangled. The strong have the rules of survival of the strong, and the weak have the way of survival of the weak." .This is personnel affairs." Extra Story - Splashing Tears There are such women in the world. Possessing peerless beauty, incomparable wisdom, noble status, and an indifferent expression, it seems that everything is clear to the chest, enough to be defiant. Miss has it all. The emperor's favor is undeniable, the concubines are terrified, the servants are obedient, how many people are secretly envious of the young lady, but I can still notice the loneliness and sadness that flashed through the young lady's complacent expression. Miss is really unpredictable.She seems to have a vicious heart, and she will make the person who offends her die. Si Chongyi may be the best example; but sometimes she seems to have a deep heart, because she loves Si Chongyi's son so much. Four princes. The first time I went to Xiao Ya Zhai, I was not only dazzled by the dazzling array of treasures on display, but also shocked by the graceful and gorgeous bearing of the young lady. Under the influence of the lady, it seems that even the ordinary me will bloom with brilliant colors. I always thought that I would be loyal to the lady for the rest of my life, and I even thought that no one would betray the lady, because we respect her, we will not betray her; we are afraid of her, we dare not betray her. But serving such a young lady, the ambition in my heart will unknowingly swell up, which I only realized later. The emperor actually transferred me out of Fengyi Palace on purpose and favored me. I looked at the sleeping emperor next to me in disbelief, and murmured to myself what does this mean? The lady is suffering from the loss of her son... It suddenly occurred to me that maybe I could help the lady find the murderer, even if I bear the name of a villain. But then the mentality changed unconsciously. Why can the lady have it, but I can't?After so many years of nurturing and training, observing words and demeanor, and being tactful in handling things, what she knows, I can do too.Don't miss me anymore, why can't this glory and wealth belong to me... What's more, I'm already a talented concubine, and the emperor loves me so much, I'm only one step away from that powerful position. It would be such a pleasant thing to be able to be as beautiful as the young lady, and to shine on the lintel of the family. But I knew that this would mean being an enemy of the young lady. I didn't think of harming the young lady, but I knew that once the young lady gained power again, she would not be able to spare me according to her character. And Miss, you once taught me what it means to eliminate hidden dangers. So when I carefully mentioned the childhood friendship between Miss and King Duanyu that I knew, the emperor's face was extremely ugly, but he didn't expect him to scold me angrily and severely warned me not to mention Miss any more. I don't dare to mention it again, I feel uneasy in my heart, I don't know whether the emperor believes it or not. She came to me suddenly that day, and I was so surprised, I pointed at her and said, "So it was you..." She sneered softly, and said: "The Empress has long been emaciated, and I am afraid she will die soon... She will never have a chance to stand up again." "I didn't expect that you would harm Miss..." She raised her eyebrows and didn't speak, while my mind was extremely confused. I didn't expect that now I finally know the murderer, but it is no longer the original intention. So I smiled lightly and said: "Maybe we are on the same boat now. But I can't take you in yet... Help me, give us the last push... If the lady is not dead, neither of us will die." Want to feel at ease." The servants of Fengyi Palace actually went to Qinchunyuan to pick flowers, but this small act secretly caused a big disturbance in the palace. flower?I thought in my heart, this is not in the mood of the young lady, what made the young lady want to add fragrance and color to the already lifeless Fengyi Palace? When the man told me that the young lady was going to see King Duanyu off, I understood everything. It turned out that it was love that brought her back to life. But for me it was the best chance to hit her. When I brought the emperor to their meeting place in a hurry, I saw a clean young lady dancing among the fluttering petals under the pear tree, as if fused with the pear blossom, so psychedelic and so unreal So poignant. My body was stiff, and I looked back at the emperor's eyes, and my heart was more than half cold. 小姐明显是看出了我的用意，反被她利用，我成为了她再受恩宠的踏脚石，却已无回天之力。 看着复又得势的小姐看我的眼神真是让我不寒而栗。 我知道我早晚是逃不掉了，但让我心惊的是她却和颜悦色的对我，因此自此我没睡过一晚安稳觉。 所以当我被关入死牢里，却莫名的释然了下来。 但是心中依然有着不甘，为什么当小姐振作的那一刻就意味着我输了，难道我连和她斗一斗的资格都没有吗…… 临死前小姐跟我说了最后一句话，她说：“我尚且是别人的替身，你又是我的替身，难道你还有什么胜算吗？” 这句话使一切都明了了。 关于小姐的，关于我的。 我听了不住地冷笑，那么小姐你是不是也输了？
