Qing Chuan Guifei
But she didn't want to wrong herself,
To share a bed with a man who disgusted her. So after thinking for a bit, she followed Tuozan's words and said, "Sister is right. His Majesty has just ascended the throne.
He works hard day and night.
This concubine really shouldn't have troubled you. "
The last words were said to Xue Pinggui. After he heard it, he looked at the two of them. In addition, there were other things pressing down on his mind, so he didn't think too much about it.
"In that case, my beloved concubine will take care of the Empress tonight." Sighing, Xue Pinggui opened his arms and hugged Si Yang and Qian Zan's shoulders. His tone was gratified. "Speaking of which, zhen only has you two concubines, the main concubine and the western concubine. You two sisters should talk together and cultivate feelings."
"Your Majesty is right." Tuozan smiled and nodded. She held Siyang with one hand. Her face was full of sisterly love. However, only she knew what she was thinking in her heart.
Siyang sneered in her heart.
In the end, she didn't show anything on her face. She just agreed.
She was gentle and virtuous.
She showed her gentleness and virtue vividly.
The assassin was in a daze and couldn't say a word.
Siyang didn't care what kind of interrogation would be and what the result would be. She didn't think that an assassin could pull Tuozan down. Not to mention whether the assassin would confess to her. Even if she did, Xue Pinggui wouldn't touch a hair on Tuozan's head. On the contrary, if she didn't let go, she would expose herself.
In any case, tonight's goal had already been achieved. There were some things that needed to be slowly infiltrated. For example, more than half of the people in the palace were from Xi Liang. Moreover, everyone's trust in Can Zan was higher than Xue Pinggui.
She believed that no one in power would allow such a thing to happen. Even if they couldn't make a move now, how could they allow others to sleep beside their bed? Sooner or later, they would settle the score.
Wang Baochuan was a kind person, so she would just follow her character.
That night, Siyang followed Tuozan to her Western Palace to rest. The Western Palace was not as magnificent as the main palace, but the decorations were much better than her Jade Earth Palace.
Tuozan was proud and arrogant. She pretended to be nice in front of Xue Pinggui, but she didn't have the time to do that in front of Wang Baochuan. Siyang thought the same.
When he returned to the Jade Earth Palace the next day, Siyang heard the news that the assassin had committed suicide by biting his tongue in prison.
"It seems that His Majesty has made a decision."
After last night's incident, more people were sent to the Jade Earth Palace today. The guards were also increased. It seemed to be to appease Siyang. Xue Pinggui also sent a large number of rewards with the news.
Siyang didn't refuse any of them. She accepted all of them. It would be a waste if she didn't accept them. The assassin's death was within her expectations, so she didn't feel angry.
"How could Your Majesty do this? Wasn't that assassin obvious?" Siyang didn't care about it, but Cui 'er was full of anger.
Siyang handed the new palace servants to a few old nannies. She took Cui 'er out for a walk.
Looking at Cui 'er's angry appearance, Siyang laughed. "Didn't I tell you earlier?"
The commander of the imperial guards was Xiliang's man. When the assassin was caught, he obviously wanted to protect him. Cui 'er rushed out to beg Xue Pinggui. This was all within her calculations. Siyang had also told her the result.
Cui 'er was still depressed. "Even so, Young Miss, we can't just let them bully us. Now that His Majesty is protecting Imperial Concubine Niangniang like this, I'm afraid there won't be a place for you in the future."
The morning dew was heavy. After two steps, the hem of her clothes was wet. The master and servant stood on a small bridge. It was remote and quiet with no one around.
Cui 'er supported her young miss and sighed. "Don't blame this servant for talking too much. I'm just worried."
It was autumn. Many yellow leaves had fallen from the lake under the bridge. They drifted with the waves. In the distance, they could see people tending to the plants.
"The assassin has been used. What place do you think there will be?"
Whether it was Xue Pinggui or Tuozan, none of them wanted Wang Baochuan to live well.
As for Xue Pinggui, he couldn't wait for her to die so that he could give way to her. As for Xue Pinggui, he was bound by morality and couldn't make a move in the open, but his little tricks in the dark weren't small at all. He even deliberately allowed Xue Pinggui to do whatever he wanted.
"Cui 'er, I know what you want to say. Leave the palace, this place of trouble, right?" Staring at the blue sky, Siyang shook her head slowly and spoke softly. However, the words she said were full of anger. "I waited for Xue Pinggui for 18 years. It's fine if he was ungrateful, but he used me, his wife, to save his reputation as an emperor. Now that I'm useless, he wants to kick me away. How can it be so simple?"
Cui 'er felt the arm she was supporting tighten in an instant.
"If they don't pay back what they owe me, I won't be satisfied even if I die." Siyang was saying what Wang Baochuan was thinking.
"So, I won't leave. I won't let them off easily. Tuozan wants the position of empress, so I'm going to sit there firmly and steadily. Xue Pinggui wants me to die, so I'm going to live longer than him. Not only that, this world … Who?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Siyang's expression hardened. She looked below the bridge. Her sharp intuition told her that there was someone hiding there.
Cui 'er jumped in fright. She also looked down. Under the bridge, there was a row of parasol trees. They were lush with leaves. Could there be someone hiding there?
Seeing that her shout didn't call out the person, Siyang was slightly displeased. Her slightly raised almond-shaped eyes narrowed.
The row of parasol trees was so close that one person couldn't wrap his arms around each of them. A corner of indigo clothes flashed from the trees.
Cui Er covered her mouth in surprise when she saw them. There really were people there. Then, she panicked. What they said just now, could it be …
Siyang's expression didn't change. She gently patted her to comfort her. Her eyes were fixed in that direction, waiting for that person to appear.
This little eunuch was Xue Pinggui's servant. Seeing his fearful expression, Siyang felt that Xue Pinggui's acting was too good. Most people were fooled. Those who didn't know better 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 sex again.
It could be seen that when faced with Wang Baochuan's deteriorating appearance, even Xue Pinggui, who boasted of his unrepentant love, couldn't do it. Moreover, there was Princess Tuozan, who was like a delicate flower beside him.
"What are you talking about? The Imperial Garden is so big. It's not my place. It's not a disturbance." Siyang didn't move from her seat. She said to the little eunuch, "You are His Majesty's servant. Presumably, His Majesty wants to see this Wangye. You have an errand. It's better to go as soon as possible."
The little eunuch was indeed anxious. Hearing this, he sighed and climbed up from the ground, "This servant will take his leave."
After speaking, he reached out to the person beside him and said, "Wangye, let's go. Don't make His Majesty wait."
That person didn't say anything else. He just cupped his hands and nodded in the direction of Siyang, indicating that he wanted to take his leave.
"Wangye, take care."
After the figure disappeared, Siyang held her chin and muttered to herself, "Which Wangye was that?"
Xue Pinggui didn't have any brothers or sisters. This definitely didn't have anything to do with him.
"Young Miss, that was the Runan Of Gojoseon."
Sure enough, Cui 'er didn't disappoint Siyang.
"The Runan Of Gojoseon is …" Cui 'er raised her hand and pointed to the sky. Seeing that there were no outsiders around, she leaned closer to Siyang and whispered, "That was the younger brother of the late Emperor."
The late Emperor here referred to the late Emperor who had his throne stolen by Xue Pinggui. He was the late Emperor who had dug his own grave. If that was the case, that person just now really was Wangye.
"I've heard that this Wangye was given the title of King in his early years. He was given a fief and became an idle Wangye in Runan." Cui 'er said sympathetically, "Speaking of which, he was really unlucky. All of a sudden … he almost became a commoner from Wangye."
Almost? That meant no more.
"When His Majesty ascended the throne, he granted amnesty to the people. The Runan Of Gojoseon's title was 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 changed. His title of Wangye was worthless, his fief was gone, and he could only stay in the capital as a watched Wangye. He had to behave himself with his tail between his legs. No wonder he was so 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 wandered back to her bedroom. Her leisurely appearance made Cui 'er anxious. She didn't know what her Miss was planning.
"Look, look, Aya." Tuozan fiercely clutched the handkerchief in her hand, so hard that it almost deformed. Her eyes were red as she shouted, "You said 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 always sent people to keep an eye on the Empress's bedroom. So when she found out that the Empress had left her bedroom and came to the Imperial Garden, she immediately rushed over with people. She originally wanted to go directly to Wang Baochuan, but Aya stopped her. In the end, she chose to watch from a high place.
At one glance, Tuozan's heart was burning with anxiety.
Just now, she 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 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 like this and was in a dilemma. Suddenly, her expression changed, "Could it be …"
"Who is it?" Suddenly, Tuozan stared at her with bright red eyes. She didn't sleep 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 bled. 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 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 two stabs, 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. Then, 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.
— — As if!
— — —
Red bricks and glazed tiles. The palace was magnificent.
The door creaked open. The light from outside shone in, reflecting a thin and weak figure on the floor.
With another knock, the door of the hall was closed again.
The footsteps were very light, but there was a hint of urgency.
When Siyang woke up, she was faced with a room full of darkness. The doors and windows were tightly blocked. It was so tight that the room was filled with an unpleasant smell of Chinese medicine.
It seemed that the original body was seriously ill.
With that thought in mind, Si Yang didn't move around. She tried her best to adjust her breathing and stabilize her heart. When she first merged with this body, the pain all over her body came crashing down on her senses. Just now, when she moved a little, her body couldn't bear it.
I'm afraid that I'm beyond cure, right?
At this moment, someone came into the palace. When Siyang heard the noise, she closed her eyes and pretended not to know.
"Niang niang?" The person came to the bed and called out softly. It was a woman.
Seeing that the person lying on the bed didn't respond, the woman called out again. This time, her voice was louder.
"Niang niang, are you awake? It's time to take your medicine. " Seeing that the person on the bed didn't move, the woman seemed to be a little anxious. She went forward to take a look.
"Oh …" Siyang pretended to have just woken up. She opened her eyes in a daze.
A woman dressed as a maid stood in front of the bed. She was holding a tray in her hands. That was the medicine she was talking about.
When she closed her eyes to rest, Siyang received all the information she needed, including the original body's memories. Now, everything here was left to her to deal with.
"Niang niang, you're finally awake." The woman was very happy. There was a sense of relief in her voice.
She opened her mouth slightly, but no sound came out. She frowned and calmed down for a while before continuing.
"Cui … Cui 'er." Her voice was hoarse and unpleasant to hear.
"Come, niang niang. Drink the medicine first. The imperial physician said that you can't stop taking this medicine. Once you finish drinking it, you'll be cured." As she spoke, the maid called Cui 'er put down the tray. She held the bowl of medicine and wanted to feed Siyang the medicine.
Siyang frowned again and turned her head to block the medicine. Her entire body was sore and weak. She couldn't use any strength. She could only use this method to express her refusal.
"This, niang niang?" Cui 'er was puzzled.
After a while, Siyang got used to the light in the bedchamber and saw Cui 'er's appearance. She was delicate and pretty. Her complexion was yellow, as if she was malnourished. At this moment, she was looking at her with worried eyes.
"Pour this medicine away." The original body might not know, but how could Siyang, who came for her, not know? She faintly stared at the bowl of medicine. What kind of medicine was this? She couldn't stop taking it away.
Of course, she couldn't stop taking it. Bowls and bowls were life-hastening talismans. One less bowl would make her uneasy.
"What?"
Cui 'er wasn't young anymore. She met the original body when the original body was in trouble. The relationship between master and servant was deep. Although she was timid, she was kind-hearted. She wasn't like a certain person who was heartless and had no conscience.
Seeing that she didn't move, Siyang didn't waste her breath. She pointed at a flowering tree in the corner and said in a hoarse voice, "If you still want me to live, then pour the medicine away."
"Niang niang, is there a problem with this medicine?" Cui 'er wasn't stupid. Her heart tightened and she felt her hand tremble.
In response, Si Yang merely closed her eyes as though she had tacitly agreed.
Seeing this, after thinking for a moment, Cui 'er gritted her teeth and immediately carried the bowl to the flowering tree. She poured all of the medicine into the flowering pot. As she did this, her hands were trembling and her heart was colder than ice.
