Qing Chuannian imperial concubine
"Sister."
She rushed into the inner hall with hurried footsteps,
Clove saw Siyang,
Her face lit up,
She quickly ran over and hugged her tightly with both hands.
"I missed you so much, sister."
"Since you missed me..,
Why didn't you come back? " Siyang didn't move at all and let Clove hug her. Hearing her true feelings, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and her tone was cold and implied a question.
"Sister?" She choked on her sobs,
Clove raised her head and looked at Siyang. Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears,
She looked like she was about to fall,
She was both gentle and pitiful,
It was quite heartbreaking.
Siyang tilted her head slightly and looked at her. "Didn't you say that..,
No matter what happens, we sisters won't leave each other alone? "
"Sister, sister..." this was the first time Clove saw 'Daji' like this,
Her face was no longer as innocent and straightforward as before,
At this moment, it was as if a layer of frost had appeared on her stunning face.
She felt a chill in her heart just by looking at it.
She couldn't help but..,
Clove took two steps back anxiously,
After swallowing her saliva, she said carefully, "You..,
What's wrong with you, sister..,
I, I'm here to see you. You know, that day, the king was so angry that he ordered you to be locked up. I pleaded for you, but the king didn't listen to me at all... "
As she spoke, Clove's eyes turned red. She bit her lip and said uncomfortably, "What can I do? I'm afraid that if I anger the king again, I'll end up like you. When that time comes, we sisters will really have no chance to stand out."
"Is that so?" Siyang smiled and sat down with her hands on the table. She picked up Little Geek, who had come over.
"Sister, I've been looking for an opportunity to save you," Clove said again.
Ningxiang, this younger sister, looked very weak. When she was with Daji, because Daji was not educated, she did not understand things, and could not distinguish between good and evil, so she did not have any rules in her actions. She usually did as she pleased, and Ningxiang mostly went along with it.
In terms of appearance, the two women looked somewhat similar. They were both devastatingly beautiful. However, Clove was still a bit inferior to Daji.
Therefore, whenever the two sisters stood together, Daji would always attract most of the attention, while Clove would appear to be much dimmer. In the long run, Clove would definitely have many knots in her heart, but it was not obvious back in Jizhou.
At that time, Daji was strictly controlled by Su Hu. Not many people had seen her. The two sisters did not appear together many times. However, ever since they came to Zhaoge, things had changed. The differences were also reflected in that.
Clove wanted to attract attention many times. Whenever Daji did something wrong, she would rush out to help her. She would tell everyone that her sister was not educated and did not know etiquette. She would ask for forgiveness.
The daughter of the Marquis of Jizhou was illiterate. If word got out, she would be ridiculed. As the younger sister, she would expose her shortcomings.
Leaning on the table, Siyang carefully looked at Clove. She sized her up from head to toe. She came to the conclusion that her cheap younger sister was probably a white lotus. She even had a bit of a sissy's temperament.
"Little sister, you're really open-minded. I was locked up and my life and death is unknown. You just said a few words to plead for me and then turned around to have fun with the king. You completely forgot about me. Why didn't I realize that little sister's memory is so bad before?" Siyang said gently as she stroked Little Geek's fur. However, everyone could hear the sarcasm in her words.
Clove's expression changed. She gritted her teeth and squatted in front of Siyang. She grabbed Siyang's hand and said, "Don't be like this, Elder Sister. I know you are in a bad mood, but I really have never forgotten about you. I didn't come to see you."
"Without Bo Yikao's message, would you have come?" Siyang asked faintly as she looked down at her.
"I, I …" Meeting Si Yang's gaze, Ning Xiang couldn't say anything. After a moment of hesitation, her face was filled with embarrassment. She turned her head and whispered, "No matter what, you are still my sister. I won't ignore you. In the future, I will come and see you more often. Don't worry."
"Elder Sister appreciates Younger Sister's kindness, but I don't need it now."
"What do you mean?" Clove felt that something was wrong.
Breaking free from Clove's hand, Siyang slowly stroked her cheek. Finally, she used a bit of force and pinched her chin.
"Younger Sister, do you really want Elder Sister to be locked up here forever?"
"Elder Sister, you, let go of me …"
"I'm asking you a question." Siyang didn't let go. She stared at her coldly.
"No, I said I would find a chance to get you out …" The Daji in front of her made Clove afraid. Her tears were about to fall. She shook her head and said, "But you also know that the king is temperamental. Last time, it was the officials who advised against it. I can't do anything for the time being …"
"Enough …" Pushing Clove away, Siyang said coldly, "I don't want to plead with the king for you."
"Then you are …"
"I want to leave the palace."
Clove, who was pushed to the ground, widened her eyes at Siyang's words. She covered her mouth and looked at her in shock. She didn't expect her to have such courage.
"What, are you surprised?" With a chuckle, Siyang stood up. Looking down at her, she slowly said, "Us sisters were forced to come here by the king. We originally thought we would be able to obtain the king's favor. Who would have thought that the king would not be able to distinguish right from wrong and lock us up in this damned place."
"Elder Sister, we have already entered the palace. According to the rules of the palace, even if you can't obtain the king's favor, you are still his woman. You can't leave the palace." Clove also stood up. Frowning, she wanted to persuade her.
"That's right." Siyang nodded, "So, I want to escape."
"What …"
"I asked you to come here for no other reason than to ask you one thing. Do you want to leave the palace with me?" Siyang interrupted Clove and went straight to the point.
"You can't …"
"You can't, or you don't want to." Siyang's eyes sharpened as she shouted. Clove was so shocked that she bit her lip and didn't dare to speak.
Siyang pulled her over. With a smile on her lips, she gently tucked Clove's hair behind her ear and said softly, "I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. Right now, other than leaving the palace, I have no other choice. The palace is dangerous. You said it yourself. After all, you and I are sisters. So, I want to take you with me."
Daji should have deep feelings for Clove. Otherwise, even if her mind was taken away by Nine-tailed Fox, she had never hurt Clove. Even if Clove betrayed her to help Ji Chang, it was only a verbal lesson.
The two sisters faced each other. Clove and Siyang looked at each other. Their eyes were conflicted. After a moment of hesitation, they resolutely shook their heads.
Seeing the change in her sister's expression, Clove said, "Sister, we can't leave. If the king blames us, it's fine if we leave, but we'll implicate father."
"Father has been dissatisfied with King Zhou for a long time. If we leave, he'll be relieved." Siyang raised her eyes slightly and scoffed, "Besides, didn't Ji Chang and the others say that I'm a disaster? That's fine. If I leave Zhaoge, won't I be following their wishes? "
"You can't say it like that." Clove clenched her hands together.
"After all that talk, you just don't want to leave with me, right?" If it was possible, Siyang really wanted to tell Clove about Nine-tailed Fox's existence. Unfortunately, she couldn't reveal this now. Who knew if Nine-tailed Fox was secretly watching them?
"I can't leave." Finally, Ning Xiang couldn't help but burst out, "Sister, don't think about it too much, okay? You've been so stubborn since you were young. Can't you just listen to me? "
"I admit, there were many things that I didn't think about before." Siyang sighed, "But this time, you have to listen to me and leave the palace with me. Otherwise, you won't be able to live long in this place."
"Do you think I'm like you?" Clove curled her lips and laughed. She gradually distanced herself from Siyang and looked at her sister with pity, "Of course I know that the palace isn't a good place. You've been protected by Father since you were young and unreasonable. When you came to the palace, you were too ostentatious. You don't even know that you've offended people. Otherwise, why would those people come to laugh at you when you're down? They're here to vent their anger."
"Then it seems that you know everything that's happened to me here?" Siyang's gaze deepened.
Clove was stunned. She realized what she had said and turned her head away. She didn't want to explain. It was useless to explain now.
"I won't leave with you. I've already done it with the King. The King is my husband and I'm also the Noble Consort of the Great Shang. I will help Father protect Ji Province and the people of the world."
With that, Clove didn't seem to want to face Siyang and turned to leave. But just as she was about to step over the threshold, she stopped and turned her head to the side, "If you really want to leave, I'll help you. But don't try to persuade me." With that, she sighed and took the step with determination.
Siyang stared at Clove's departing figure. She lowered her head and closed her eyes.
Clove rushed into the inner hall. When she saw Siyang, her face lit up. She quickly ran over and hugged her tightly.
"I missed you so much, Sister."
"Since you missed me, why didn't you come back?" Siyang didn't move and allowed Clove to hug her. When she heard her heartfelt words, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. Her tone was cold and implied a question.
"Sister?" Clove choked on her sobs and raised her head to look at Siyang. Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears. She looked gentle and pitiful. It made one's heart ache.
Siyang tilted her head slightly and looked at her, "Sister, didn't you say that no matter what happened, we sisters wouldn't leave each other alone?"
"Sister, sister …" This was the first time Clove saw 'Daji' like this. Her face didn't have the naivety and straightforwardness of the past. Her beautiful face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. Just looking at her made one's heart feel cold.
