Falling in large numbers, everything was trapped in the vast whiteness, quiet and cold. The dim light swayed gently, and her expression and figure were vaguely reflected in the bronze mirror. She was no longer young, and her former beauty was gone. Only the momentary beauty was like a flower that bloomed at midnight, full of loneliness. A smile that was as fleeting as an ephemeral flower appeared on her jade-like skin and cherry lips. However, there was always a kind of sadness in her expression, as if she was in full bloom but would wither in an instant.
He pushed the door open and walked in, stopping beside the woman who was sitting like a statue, and handed her the thing in his hand: "Madam, this is... sent from there."
He glanced at her calmly, not showing any surprise. But when his eyes touched the object in her hand, his body trembled violently. A letter and her jade pendant... the broken jade that Xiao Tong had always kept.
I took it carefully, and was even more confused when I saw the familiar face on the letter. I suppressed the uneasiness in my heart and opened it to read.
Standing aside, I saw Zhao Pei's face become paler and paler as she read, trembling like a bleak red leaf. After reading, she slowly held the letter against her chest, lowered her head and curled up on the stool. So fragile, so vulnerable. The despair of life and death came through her, suppressing Man'er's heart, and she couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
Pei panted for a long time, then suddenly laughed softly, muttering to himself, "You are so cruel... What... is this... Then what is everything I have done... Do you think... You are saving me... You..." Then it turned into an uncontrollable laugh. The smile was filled with wounds, and he was in extreme pain but had no tears. He said that he dared not leave in front of her again... Hahahaha...
In this life, she was constantly missing out. In the end, she got nothing.
She thought, this life might be over. In fact, the moment she knocked over the cup in Xiao Yi's hand, she had already decided her own fate.
In this cruel fight, one person must die. Or the whole army must be annihilated.
Qiao Yu saw the cups and plates that Xiao Yi had placed on the table. He stared at the man in black standing beside the table with his hands behind his back in surprise and doubt, and couldn't help but shout, "Your Majesty! That's Concubine Xu!"
"I know." He said these three cold words and said no more.
Qiao Yu was thinking over and over again, but he mustered up the courage to advise: "Your Majesty, please think twice. The Queen was also deceived by the villain. The Queen and Your Majesty have been married for more than 20 years. Your Majesty..." Xiao Yi actually laughed as he listened: "Qiao Yu, who are you working for?"
Qiao Yu was stunned and replied sullenly, "Of course it is Your Majesty. I... obey your command." But he did not move after saying that. He just stood there hesitatingly as if waiting for him to change his mind.
Xiao Yi looked at the contents of the cup quietly, then suddenly smiled and said, "Yu, do you know what's in this cup?"
Qiao Yu remained silent, unable to utter even two words.
"She gave me a cup of 'burning love', I gave her a cup of 'Meng Po' in return, it's like... ...reciprocity." Xiao Yi said faintly, his words showing a sadness that he tried his best to suppress. When Qiao Yu heard "Meng Po", he stared at him with a complex and seemingly indifferent look, and was immediately shocked and hurt. (To be continued)
