Thinking about it this way, Hua Xiangrong was really too pitiful.
She clearly had a good marriage, but her fiancé was a loyal and patriotic man. It was obvious that the Emperor had stolen his wife, but not only did he not resist, he even told his wife to properly serve the Emperor and make the Emperor satisfied.
Hua Xiangrong gave up and followed the Emperor, but she was plotted against by a group of people in the harem. She was even drugged by Concubine De, who she regarded as her elder sister, so she could no longer have children.
Her most trusted maidservant, for the sake of her beloved man, had drugged her and wanted to kill her. The saddest thing was that her man, for his own glory and wealth, had personally ordered someone to make her drink a cup of poisoned wine.
Jiujiu sighed. Since ancient times, beautiful women were often ill-fated. She raised her eyes and glanced at Qing Zi. She raised the corners of her mouth and said, "What? Do you have something to say?"
Looking at Jiujiu's raised lips and the sarcasm in her eyes, Qing Zi only felt that she could not see through Jiujiu.
Before being carried to the palace, Jiujiu said that she would be a good concubine in the future. But in the palace, Jiujiu seemed to have changed into another person. With this attitude, she was not a good concubine, but a demon who would bring disaster to the country and people.
Especially the words she said to Concubine De and Concubine Li in the Imperial Garden just now. If it was used by someone with bad intentions, Jiujiu's life would be difficult to protect.
At this moment, Qing Zi was still somewhat loyal to Jiujiu. It was not because Jiujiu was her master, but because she was now Jiujiu's servant. Her life was tied to Jiujiu's. If something happened to Jiujiu, she could not escape this kind of loyalty.
Qing Zi took a deep breath to calm herself down. Looking at Jiujiu's increasingly beautiful face, she stuck out the tip of her tongue and licked her dry lips because of nervousness. She looked at Jiujiu and said, "Your Highness, don't you think what you said today is a bit too much?"
Jiu Jiu, who was picking grapes, paused for a moment. Her beautiful eyes sparkled as she stared at Qing Zi.
Now Jiujiu was not the delicate and weak Hua Xiangrong who was particularly easy to talk to, but a little hedgehog with small thorns all over her body, who would stab whoever she did not like. At this moment, being stared at by Jiujiu, Qing Zi's forehead was covered with cold sweat in just a while. She kept thinking about what she did wrong to make Jiujiu look at her...
Feeling Qing Zi's nervousness, Jiujiu coldly snorted and said, "Continue."
Qing Zi saw that although Jiujiu was looking at her with a gloomy expression, she did not make things difficult for her. Her attitude was completely different from when she dealt with those disobedient palace servants in the past. Thinking that Jiujiu treated her differently from those palace servants, she gathered her courage and continued, "Replying to Your Highness, this servant thinks that what you said today is a bit too much."
Qing Zi paused after saying this and subconsciously looked at Jiujiu's expression. If she was afraid that Jiujiu would be angry, she would immediately kneel and apologize.
Feeling Qing Zi's cautiousness, Jiujiu slightly raised the corner of her mouth and showed a happy smile. She nodded and motioned Qing Zi to continue.
Seeing that Jiujiu was not angry, Qing Zi continued, "Although Your Highness is favored, the emperor's favor is unpredictable. His Majesty will favor you because of Your Highness's good color, and tomorrow, he will favor other concubines because of their good color. Treating people with beauty is not good, so I think it is better to give birth to a child as soon as possible instead of winning favor with a good color."
Qing Zi had said this to Hua Xiangrong before.
However, at that time, Hua Xiangrong obeyed. However, before Hua Xiangrong could get pregnant, Qing Zi had hooked up with the First Prince. After that, Concubine De swallowed the sterilization medicine. Even if Hua Xiangrong wanted to have a child, it would be difficult for her to do so.
However, Jiujiu was different from Hua Xiangrong.
If Jiujiu lost her good color, the Emperor would turn hostile at any time. But now, the Emperor was a puppet in Jiujiu's hands. It was a joke that she would be afraid of losing favor with a bad color.
Jiujiu raised her eyes and glanced at Qing Zi. Just when Qing Zi thought that Jiujiu had listened to her words, Jiujiu called, "Xiao Guizi."
Xiao Guizi was the apprentice of Eunuch Li, who served the Emperor. He was particularly good at reading people's expressions. After only a few days, he had won Jiujiu's favor. And because she liked him, Jiujiu trained Xiao Guizi as her confidant.
Of course, Jiujiu was not an innocent and naive girl. She had fed Little Guizi a Gu worm. If Little Guizi was loyal and devoted, it would be fine. If he had the slightest intention of betraying her, he would definitely die from being bitten by ten thousand worms.
As for Jiujiu's proposal to give him the Gu Insect, Xiao Guizi said that as long as Jiujiu could make him a superior person, he would even eat crane top red, not to mention insects.
After Jiujiu promised that she would make Xiao Guizi a superior person, Xiao Guizi swallowed the Gu Insect and was also loyal to Jiujiu.
Hearing Jiujiu calling him, Xiao Guizi immediately appeared in front of Jiujiu.
Jiujiu raised her eyes to look at the respectful Xiao Guizi. She raised her hand to point at Qing Zi, who was standing at her side, and calmly said: "Ben gong feels that Qing Zi's rules aren't very good. Xiao Guizi, find someone to teach Qing Zi a good lesson."
Xiao Guizi was docile and harmless in front of Jiujiu, like a large dog. But behind her, he was a Tibetan mastiff with sharp teeth. Even if you didn't provoke him, he would bite you. Not to mention that Jiujiu had personally asked Xiao Guizi to find someone to teach Qing Zi a lesson.
Qing Zi knew Xiao Guizi's methods very well. If Jiujiu really sent her to Xiao Guizi to learn the rules, even if she didn't die, she would lose a layer of skin.
With these words, the blood on Qing Zi's face instantly drained. She quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed as she begged: "Niangniang, Qing Zi knows her wrongs. Qing Zi won't dare to do it again. Niangniang, have mercy, have mercy."
"Have mercy?" Jiujiu stretched out her hand to hold Qing Zi's chin.
Although Qing Zi was Hua Xiangrong's maid, Hua Xiangrong had always regarded Qing Zi as her sister, so she gave Qing Zi the best food and clothes. Therefore, Qing Zi's face didn't have the roughness of a maid's. Instead, it was incredibly smooth and delicate. Although it didn't have Jiujiu's creamy skin, it was much smoother than some concubines'.
However, there were too few people in the world who knew how to repay kindness. The more you gave her, the more she wanted. Qing Zi was such a person who didn't know how to repay kindness.
Hua Xiangrong was so good to her that she couldn't wait to dig out her heart to treat her. But how did she repay Hua Xiangrong?
She drugged Hua Xiangrong because of the First Prince's words.
Maybe those drugs wouldn't directly kill Hua Xiangrong, but they made Hua Xiangrong suffer as if she was dead every time she had a nap.
Hua Xiangrong treated her well with all her heart, but she got this in return?
Thinking of Hua Xiangrong's end, Jiujiu couldn't help but increase the strength of her hand. Just in an instant, two dark finger marks appeared on Qing Zi's chin.
