"That's right." She sighed.
Siyang shook her head and chuckled. "I still remember that year, I followed him out of the Prime Minister's residence with nothing.
I left my parents and came to the cold cave in Wujiapo to settle down. "
"Niang niang?" Cui'er heard some clues.
She frowned.
However, Siyang was unmoved. She held the wooden hairpin, and the bitter smile on her lips deepened.
"I didn't ask for a wealthy family or a well-matched family.
"I only needed a sincere and motivated heart." As long as it's what I like,
"That's the best."
"Eighteen years.
"I went from being the daughter of the Prime Minister's residence who didn't do any household chores to being so poor that I could only shelter myself from the wind and rain in the cold cave.
"I can't eat enough, I can't wear clothes to cover my body …"
"… I don't think these are bitter."
Wang Baochuan was willing to wait.
She didn't suffer.
Because there was someone she was always thinking about.
No matter how much bitterness there was, she would swallow it and not reveal it.
"But …" Her eyelashes trembled slightly. She closed her eyes and tears fell.
Sadness filled her body. Siyang raised her head.
She made herself look stronger.
Her voice couldn't help but tremble.
"I didn't expect it.
"It turns out that for eighteen years, he was on the other side with a beautiful wife in his arms and children on his knees. How could he remember me, Wang Baochuan."
"Your servant understands all of your hardships." If there was anyone who understood Wang Baochuan the most, it would be Cui'er. At this moment, she felt uncomfortable. She didn't care about the difference in status. She threw down the comb and supported Siyang with both hands. She said with heartache, "This servant was saved by Miss." I saw what happened to you all these years. When I learned that Xue Pinggui was like this … "
"Be careful with your words." She turned around and hurriedly stopped Cui'er from continuing. Siyang shook her head with a serious face. She looked in the direction of the door and said in a low voice, "This is the Imperial Palace, not our home. We need to be careful with our words and actions."
"Miss." Cui'er pursed her lips. She called her by the way she used to address Wang Baochuan, not the way she addressed the Empress now.
Cui 'er realized that it wasn't just her. Miss didn't treat the Imperial Palace as her own home either.
When they were in the cold kiln, every day they would hear Miss talk about her husband, Xue Pinggui. She would tell how the two of them met and fell in love with each other, and how she broke off all ties with her father and came to the cold kiln to live a hard life.
Cui'er had never met Xue Pinggui at that time, but in Wang Baochuan's description, she thought that this person was a man of indomitable spirit who was responsible and ambitious. However, in reality, when Xue Pinggui came to Han Yao with his noble aura, she only felt that everything was different from what Miss had described.
What do you mean by righteous? You're clearly heartless.
The world praised Xue Pinggui for not forgetting his wife when he was rich and had made her Miss the Empress. Cui'er didn't know much, but she saw everything.
"Miss, let's not be the Empress anymore. Let's go back to Han Yao. Cui'er will do anything for you." The more she thought, the more excited Cui'er became. She pulled Siyang's hand and said in a mournful voice, "If you continue to stay in this cannibalistic place, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it's really …"
Cui'er already had doubts. She had followed Miss's orders yesterday and secretly poured away the medicine the imperial physician made. Today, Miss, who had been sick for many days, was able to get up. Thinking of the many inconsistencies in the Imperial Palace, she didn't dare to continue staying. She wanted to leave. Not only that, she wanted to quickly take Miss away from here.
"Silly girl, some things can't be done just because you want to." Wang Baochuan gently put his hand on Cui 'er's hand that was holding his arm. Wang Baochuan had worked hard for many years. His hands were already covered with calluses. His hands were rough and cracked. The delicate fingers of a rich young lady were long gone.
Siyang lowered her head and looked at her hands. They were dark and ugly with thick joints, which didn't match the exquisite and luxurious clothes she was wearing. She sighed, "Since we entered the Imperial Palace, we have no chance to go out. Unless …" Her voice became lower and lower until it was close to Cui'er's ear, "Unless, they can let us go."
Them!
Who were they?
Why didn't they let them go?
Hit hard by Siyang's words, Cui'er's body softened and she sat on the side. Her hands hung down weakly, and she bit her lips. Looking at her ugly face and increasingly desperate eyes, Siyang felt a little distressed.
She was the only person who was loyal to Wang Baochuan. She and Wang Baochuan had supported each other to survive in the cold cave. It was more appropriate to say that they were sisters than master and servant. She was bullied like a soft bun by Xue Pinggui, so she valued this girl very much.
One of the reasons why she was angry was because after Wang Baochuan died, Cui'er didn't live for long. This girl was indeed loyal. She didn't go with her mistress directly. Instead, she waited for an opportunity to take revenge. She wanted to secretly kill Princess Tuozan to avenge her mistress.
However, Princess Tuozan had many capable people around her. She also knew martial arts. Before Cui'er could get close, she was caught. After she was caught, she cursed Tuozan and Xue Pinggui. In the end, she angered the two people and had her tongue pulled out. She was put to death by a thousand cuts. Her death was very miserable.
She was such a loyal and courageous girl, the person Wang Baochuan cared about the most. How could he swallow this insult?
"Then what should we do?" Cui'er was about to cry.
In contrast, Siyang was much calmer. She had said those words on purpose to scare her. No … it wasn't appropriate to say that she was scaring her. She just wanted to let her know what was going to happen in the future. After all, she could rely on Cui'er now. She had to make sure that she was of one mind.
Turning back, Siyang took a comb and began to comb her hair. "What else can we do? If we don't want to die, we naturally have to …"
"Have to what?" This turn of events gave Cui'er a glimmer of hope. She looked at Siyang expectantly.
"Naturally …"
"Imperial Consort Niangniang has arrived."
Suddenly, a loud voice rang out. Siyang stopped talking. She narrowed her eyes. She saw the door of the palace gradually being pushed open from the bronze mirror. A dim light flashed in her eyes. Then, she lowered her eyelids as if nothing had happened.
"She's here so soon." Siyang whispered.
"Imperial, Imperial Consort Niangniang, why, why is she here …" Cui'er panicked when she heard the name. After all, what they were talking about just now had a lot to do with the person who was coming.
"What are you afraid of?" She was afraid that she wouldn't come. Siyang looked at her and said, "Help me up. Don't talk too much. Just watch me do it."
Cui'er had always listened to Wang Baochuan. Now that her miss said that, she licked her lips and quickly got up. She carefully helped Siyang up.
"Sister, Tuozan has come to see you."
