Young Liang Zhu
Siyang allowed a few palace maids to help her lie down on the bed.
During this time, she coughed a few times.
"Sister, I don't want to criticize you." The palace maid brought a chair over, and Tuozan sat down in front of Siyang's bed. "Let me send a few more people to serve you.
Look at the only girl by your side.
It's not safe to do things. "
Cui'er was nervously guarding the bed.
She was actually guarding against Tuozan.
Her words with Siyang just now had made her certain.
Other than the young lady and her, there was no good person in this palace. Everyone was a devil who ate people without spitting out the bones.
At this moment, she heard that Tuozan wanted to replace her.
She was a little anxious.
But before Cui'er could speak,
Siyang, who was half leaning against the soft pillow, opened her mouth.
"Ahem, no need."
There's no need for that. "He waved his hand strenuously as he caught a glimpse of something from the corner of his eye.
Tuozan's expression changed slightly because of her direct rejection.
Siyang panted a few times and said in a low and hoarse voice, "Sister knows even if you don't say it.
I've been out all these years.
I haven't had a good life either.
Now, all of a sudden, everything has changed.
It's really hard to adapt. "
As she spoke, Siyang's eyes were filled with emotion.
She gently held Tuozan's hand.
"You, you... sister, it's okay. It's been hard on you all these years." Wang Baochuan lived like a princess, so her hands were white and slender, soft and smooth like cream. Siyang's hands were rough, so when she gripped them with force, she felt pain. However, this was not important. She did not know where Wang Baochuan's strength came from, but her hands felt as if they were clamped by a pair of pliers. It was so painful that she could barely maintain the smile on her face. She tugged hard, but her hands did not move at all.
Siyang acted as if she didn't feel anything and continued to hold her hand. She shook her head and sighed, "I'm used to living a hard life. I'm afraid I don't have the life to enjoy this glory and wealth. Look at me. I've only been Empress for a few days and I'm so sick. I've really brought bad luck to you."
"How can you say that?" Tuozan smiled hypocritically and tried her best to free her hand.
Of course, she didn't mention anything else. In fact, in her heart, she silently agreed with Siyang's words. However, on the surface, she still continued to act.
"What do you mean by unlucky? Sister, just relax and take good care of yourself. That's the best thing for me and His Majesty."
"Oh, really?" She held Tuozan's hand tightly and pulled it closer. Siyang looked at it carefully and whispered, "Sister's hand is so beautiful. Sister's hand used to be so beautiful too."
Siyang understood Tuozan's plan in her heart. She was still occupying the seat like this. She was probably anxious from waiting. Otherwise, why couldn't she wait for 18 days?
Tuozan raised her eyebrows and frowned slightly. She felt that Wang Baochuan's words had another meaning.
Just as Tuozan was about to say something, a voice came from outside the bedchamber.
"His Majesty has arrived." The eunuch's voice was sharp and thin. It traveled directly into the hall without warning.
However, Tuozan's eyes lit up when she heard it. She said in surprise, "Why is His Majesty here?"
"Maybe he's here to visit me." Siyang sat sideways. She didn't feel anything. They would meet sooner or later. It was good to see them all at once today.
His Majesty, Xue Pinggui.
"Then I have to go greet him quickly." Tuozan didn't care anymore. She stood up and shook off Siyang's hand. She thought her hand would be bruised, but when she pulled it out, there were no bruises. The pain of breaking her bones didn't seem to exist.
Tuozan looked at Siyang suspiciously. She didn't think too much about it. She lifted her skirt and turned around. She paused and said to her, "Sister's body isn't well. You should lie down first."
As she spoke, she hurriedly went to the door to greet him.
Siyang looked at all of this coldly. She didn't move.
"Miss." Cui 'er was a little nervous.
Siyang didn't say anything. She stared at the corner. A large group of attendants appeared at the entrance of the bedchamber. Then, a tall and dignified man wearing a yellow robe embroidered with dragons strode into her sight.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." She used the etiquette of the Central Plains, but probably because she hadn't been learning it for a long time, her movements were stiff and a little strange. However, in the eyes of that person, all of this was lovable. She didn't know the etiquette of the Central Plains, but probably because she hadn't learned it for a long time, her movements were stiff and a little weird.
"Hahaha, my beloved concubine, you don't have to be so courteous." The man laughed heartily. He bent down and helped Tuozan up with both hands. After looking at her carefully for a while, he nodded with praise. "My beloved concubine is becoming more and more like a woman from the Central Plains."
Tuozan smiled shyly at the praise. She touched her chin and said tenderly, "Your Majesty is too kind. If there is a woman from the Central Plains who is gentle and beautiful, it is Sister Empress."
Xue Pinggui, who had been full of smiles a moment ago, restrained the emotions on his face because of these words. He closed his eyes and turned to look in the direction of Si Yang. His eyes were obscure and difficult to understand. Xue Pinggui, who was at the side, saw it clearly. He shook his arm and said, "Your Majesty has come at the right time. Quickly come and see sister. I think her illness has gotten worse."
"Is it? I'm here to see the Empress."
"Baochuan." Xue Pinggui called out softly and sat down at the seat where Xue Zan was sitting. However, when he got closer and saw his wife's appearance, his eyes were filled with obvious surprise.
"You …"
"Ahem, Your Majesty is here. I've been, ahem, waiting for a long time …"
"Baochuan, don't talk. Someone go and get the imperial doctor to treat the Empress." Xue Pinggui seemed to be really shocked by Wang Baochuan's appearance. He shouted angrily at the people, "The Empress is so sick. This is the result of your service."
Tuozan was also shocked. She bit her lip and said with grievance, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. I wanted to mention this just now, but my sister … was too stubborn. She refused to send more people to serve her."
"Don't blame them. It's my fault. I always think about the past and can't live well … Ahem."
Looking at Siyang's lethargic body, Xue Pinggui's deep eyes seemed to have a layer of gloominess, "You don't have to think too much."
"How can I not think …" Siyang looked at him. Xue Pinggui's appearance was really good. He was over 30 years old and had a short beard. Not only did he not look old, but it also added a bit of the charm of a mature man. He started out as a martial artist. He dismounted from a horse in the army and trained his body to be strong. Even the dragon robe couldn't hide the smell of iron on him.
Looking at him, she was in a daze.
Xue Pinggui saw the haggard woman in front of him reach out her hand to him. He hesitated for a moment and took the hand that was rougher than his. It was completely different from what he remembered. He even felt that it was not a hand that a woman should have. And the reason why it was like this, to be honest, was because of him.
Even though Xue Pinggui hid it very quickly, Siyang still saw the disgust in his eyes.
"Your Majesty." After taking his hand, she grabbed him tightly. Siyang's eyes were filled with tears as she said sadly, "This concubine's illness won't be cured. I didn't think that we would be separated by life and death so soon after we reunited."
"Don't, don't speak nonsense." Xue Pinggui's mouth twitched. Even though he had practiced martial arts and his skin was thick, he still felt that the hand that had been held was about to break. But now, he couldn't break free.
Tuozan looked and touched her hand with lingering fear. She muttered to herself, I didn't think that a person who was about to die would have so much strength. Hmph, as expected of a peasant woman, she had a burst of brute strength.
"Everything this concubine said is true. I don't ask for anything else. I just hope that Your Majesty will come visit this concubine more often in the future to relieve the pain of missing you day and night for 18 years."
Xue Pinggui, who was being held back, faced Si Yang's pair of eyes that suddenly sparkled. He felt so guilty that he didn't dare to look at her directly. He looked past her and said, "Don't worry, if we … sss …"
The strength in her hand increased. This time, Xue Pinggui couldn't resist.
"Baochuan, don't worry. We will come visit you more often in the future."
"If Your Majesty agrees, then come. Don't make this concubine wait for you for so long …"
The latter words caused Xue Pinggui's expression, which had just eased, to freeze again. 18 years. This was what he owed Wang Baochuan. It was also what he didn't want to mention the most. But … this was something that would be imprinted on him for the rest of his life.
"Alright, I think Big Sister needs to rest more. Where's the medicine? Did you take it today?" Although Wang Baochuan's appearance had declined, Tuozan had always been proud and arrogant. She was also very possessive of Xue Pinggui. In Xiliang for so many years, Xue Pinggui only had her. Now that they were in the Central Plains, Wang Baochuan had always been a thorn in her heart. Seeing the two of them being so intimate, she felt very uncomfortable.
"Today, today's medicine isn't ready yet …" At the mention of this, Cui 'er lowered her head and didn't dare to look at the two people in front of her. Since Miss said that there was a problem with the medicine, she didn't care much about it. She still hadn't gone to get today's portion.
"Your Majesty, look. This concubine said that this girl is useless."
"It's fine. She has been with me for so many years. Even if she didn't make any contributions, she still worked hard. My body is already like this. It doesn't matter whether I take medicine or not." Waving her hand weakly, Siyang only looked at Xue Pinggui. From time to time, deep affection would appear in her eyes.
"… It's better to have the medicine boil quickly. We will personally feed you. We don't ask for anything else. We just want you to be well."
It seemed that Xue Pinggui's tender and sweet words had touched Siyang. She nodded with reddened eyes. "We will listen to Your Majesty."
This was also good.
With such a loud noise coming from the bedchamber, everyone in the Empress' Jade Earth Palace had been startled awake. Immediately, the palace was brightly lit.
Cui 'er slept in the tea room next door. Thinking that it would be more convenient to serve her, she was startled when she heard the noise. She put on her clothes and hurried over.
