Investiture of the Gods.
This little eunuch was Xue Pinggui's man.
However, looking at his fearful expression, Siyang felt that,
It was probably because Xue Pinggui's acting was so good that he had deceived most of the people.
Those who didn't know would think that he was favored.
Perhaps there was a fact that no one noticed. Ever since Xue Pinggui and Wang Baochuan reunited,
They didn't have any marital life.
It could be seen that in the face of Wang Baochuan's declining appearance, Xue Pinggui, who boasted that he was deeply in love with her,
He couldn't do it. Besides, there was Princess Tuozan, who was like a delicate flower beside him.
"What are you talking about?
The Imperial Garden is so big, and it's not my place. It's not a disturbance. " Siyang sat still and said to the little eunuch, "You are His Majesty's man. I think His Majesty wants to see Wangye. You have an errand, so it's better to go as soon as possible."
The little eunuch was indeed anxious.
When he heard this, he sighed.
He got up from the ground. "This servant will take his leave."
After that, he stretched out his hand and said to the person beside him, "Wangye, let's go. Don't keep His Majesty waiting."
That person didn't say anything else. He just cupped his hands and nodded in the direction of Siyang.
He had already expressed his intention to leave.
"Wangye, take care."
Until the figure disappeared.
Siyang held her chin and said to herself, "Which Wangye is this?"
Xue Pinggui didn't have any brothers or sisters.
This definitely had nothing to do with him.
"Miss,
That's the Runan Of Gojoseon. "
As expected, Cui 'er didn't let Siyang down.
"The Runan Of Gojoseon is …" Cui 'er raised her finger and pointed to the sky. Seeing that there were no outsiders around, she leaned closer to Siyang and whispered, "He is the former emperor's younger brother."
The previous Emperor was the one who had his throne stolen by Xue Pinggui, the former Emperor who had dug his own grave. In that case, the person just now was really Wangye.
"I've heard that this Wangye was bestowed the title of King early on, bestowed with a fief, and lived as an idle Wangye in Runan." Cui 'er began to sympathize with him. "Speaking of which, he's quite unlucky. All of a sudden … he almost became a commoner from Wangye."
Almost. That meant that there was none.
"His Majesty has ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the people. The Runan Of Gojoseon's title has been returned to him, but now he can only stay in the capital as an idle king."
"So that's how it is."
In a single night, the people under the heavens had changed. His title of Wangye was worthless, his fief was gone, and he could only stay in the capital as an unguarded Wangye for the rest of his life. He had to behave himself with his tail between his legs. It was no wonder that he was somewhat reserved when he saw her, the Empress.
However, she seemed to have discovered something else interesting.
After strolling around the Imperial Garden for a while, Siyang leisurely returned to her bedroom. Her leisurely appearance made Cui 'er slightly anxious. She didn't know what her Miss was planning.
"Look, look, Aya." Tuozan gripped the handkerchief in her hand so hard that it was almost deformed. Her eyes were red as she shouted, "You said that everything was going according to plan. But now, Wang Baochuan is still alive and well. She doesn't look like a dying person at all."
Tuozan had sent people to keep an eye on the Empress's bedroom. So when she knew that she had left the bedroom and came to the Imperial Garden, she immediately rushed over with people. She wanted to meet Wang Baochuan directly, but she was stopped by Aya, who was beside her. In the end, she chose to watch from a high place.
With one look, Hawksbill Zan's heart burned with anxiety.
She had just said that Wang Baochuan wouldn't live for more than a few days. In the blink of an eye, she not only looked better, but also had the energy to stroll around. It seemed that it was only a matter of time before she recovered.
"This … I don't know." Seeing the situation, Aya also couldn't figure it out, "I sent people to keep an eye on her every day. She did take all the medicine, but now … it seems that it doesn't work."
Tuozan's expression twisted for a moment. Wang Baochuan had stayed in the back seat for a day, which made her feel as if she was being roasted by fire.
"The medicine didn't work?"
Aya looked at Tuozan and was in a dilemma. Suddenly, her expression changed, "Could it be …"
"Who?" Suddenly, Tuozan stared at her. Her eyes were bright red. She hadn't slept well for a day.
"… Could it be His Majesty?" Aya's first thought was Xue Pinggui. Because she knew that he had done something to Wang Baochuan's medicine, she stopped. But now that Wang Baochuan was gradually getting better, then it was thought-provoking.
"Could it be that he can't bear to part with her?" In an instant, Tuozan bit her lips so hard that it almost drew blood. Her eyes were deep and serene.
At night.
The entire palace had entered a deep sleep. Only the patrolling soldiers passing by let people know that this was a heavily guarded palace.
In the large palace of the Empress, there was only a small palace maid on night watch in the small courtyard outside. She was still dozing off with her arms crossed. A vigorous figure just boldly rushed in, but no one noticed.
The door of the sleeping chamber was pushed open and then closed. It was quiet inside. Darkness shrouded everything, but the intruder seemed to have night vision. He only vaguely recognized the interior of the sleeping chamber. He stared at the big bed inside and slowly approached step by step.
It was quiet all around. Danger was slowly approaching.
The sharp blade silently lifted the hanging curtain on the bed. The quilt inside was pulled up. The blade turned and the silver light flashed. The eyes that were covered by the black cloth were murderous.
Puchi.
The knife stabbed into the middle of the bed without hesitation. It pierced through the quilt. After stabbing twice, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. His eyes changed and he turned to leave.
"Too late."
Suddenly, a voice came from a corner in the darkness. Immediately after, the black figure nimbly turned his body. When he wanted to escape, he heard a gust of wind. The black figure wanted to dodge, but the wind came too fast. He couldn't dodge at all.
"Ah!"
The scream was particularly loud in the palace. At the same time, it was accompanied by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. Suddenly, the people in the palace were awakened. When did the lights come on?
The candlesticks were lit. A hand picked them up and walked step by step to the person lying on the ground.
That person was already unable to move. He groaned in pain.
"Cui 'er, how long have we known each other?"
Cui 'er's hand holding the comb paused. Her eyes also showed a look of reminiscence. A moment later, she said in a soft voice: "This servant has followed niangniang for eighteen years."
"Yes." With a long sigh, Siyang shook her head and smiled: "I still remember that year, I followed him out of the Prime Minister's fu with nothing. We left father and mother and came to the cold cave in Wujia Po to settle down."
"Niangniang?" Cui 'er heard some clues and her brows furrowed.
However, Si Yang remained unmoved. She raised the wooden hairpin, the bitter smile at the corners of her mouth growing deeper and deeper. "I once thought that I didn't need to be rich or well-matched. I only needed a sincere and ambitious heart. As long as it was what I liked in my heart, that would be the best."
"Eighteen years, ah. I went from being the daughter of the Prime Minister's fu 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 didn't have enough food to eat or clothes to cover my body … …"
"… … I don't feel any of this is bitter."
Wang Baochuan had waited willingly. She didn't feel bitter because there was someone she constantly missed. No matter how much bitterness there was, she would swallow it and not reveal anything.
"But … …" Her eyelashes trembled slightly. She closed her eyes and tears fell. Sorrow filled her body. Siyang raised her head to make herself appear stronger. However, her voice couldn't help but tremble.
"I didn't expect that after eighteen years, he was on the other side with a beautiful wife and a beautiful woman in his arms. How could he still remember me, Wang Baochuan in the cold cave?"
"This servant knows all about your hardships." If there was someone who understood Wang Baochuan the most, it would be Cui 'er. Hearing this, she felt terrible. She didn't care about the difference in status. She threw down the comb and supported Siyang with both hands. Her heart ached as she said: "This servant was saved by Miss. I clearly saw what happened to you these years. When I learned that Xue Pinggui was like this … …"
"Be careful with what you say." Turning around, she quickly stopped Cui 'er from continuing. Siyang shook her head with a serious expression. She looked warily in the direction of the door before saying in a low voice: "This is the Imperial Palace, not our home. We need to be careful with what we say and do."
"Miss." Cui 'er pursed her lips. She called her by the way she used to call Wang Baochuan, not the way she now called her Empress.
Hearing that home, Cui 'er knew that it wasn't just her. Miss also didn't think of the Imperial Palace as her home.
When she was in the cold cave, she heard Miss talk about her husband, Xue Pinggui, every day. She talked about how the two of them met and fell in love. She talked about how she broke off their relationship with her father and came to the cold cave to live a hard life.
Cui 'er had never seen 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. In reality, when Xue Pinggui came to the cold cave with a noble aura, she felt that everything was different from what Miss said.
What love and righteousness? He was 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 the cold cave. Cui 'er will do anything for you." The more she thought about it, the more excited Cui 'er was. She took Siyang's hand and said in a sad voice, "If you continue to stay in this cruel place, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it's really …"
Cui 'er had doubts in her heart. Yesterday, she secretly poured away the decoction made by the imperial physician according to Miss's orders. Today, Miss, who had been sick for many days, could get up. Thinking of the many inconsistencies in the Imperial Palace, she didn't dare to stay. She wanted to leave. Not only that, she also wanted to 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 can't go out, unless …" Her voice got lower and lower until it was close to Cui 'er's ear, "unless they let us go."
Them!
Who were they?
Why didn't they let them go?
Si Yang's words dealt a heavy blow to Cui Er. Her body softened, and she slumped to the side. Her hands drooped down weakly, and she bit her lips. Si Yang's heart ached as she looked at Cui Er's ugly complexion.
This was the only person who was loyal to Wang Baochuan. She and Wang Baochuan had been supporting each other to survive in the cold cave. Rather than calling them master and servant, it was more appropriate to call them sisters. Wang Baochuan, who was bullied by Xue Pinggui like a soft bun, valued this girl very much.
