Rong Xi cried so much that he almost fainted, his head was aching with dull pain.
Mu Huai had already walked to her side, put his hands on her slender shoulders, helped her up from the small desk, and ordered her to look at him.
The man's voice was faintly suppressing the blazing anger, and he asked in a deep voice, "What happened, that you have to shed tears in such pain that you don't even care about your body?"
Hearing that Mu Huai mentioned the child in his womb, Rong Xi forced herself to hold back her tears, but she couldn't hold back her tears.
Finally she burped softly, looking even more pitiful.
Mu Huai stared at this.
From the beginning of Rong Xi's day with him, when this squeamish woman cried, even though he was impatient and irritable on the face, he was at a loss in his heart.
This delicate and troublesome woman is going to grind his cold heart to death.
One Rong Xi is enough for him to suffer, and he really has no other thoughts about wanting other women.
The sinister aura exuding around Mu Huai's body gradually faded away, and the woman's warm and beautiful face was covered with his slightly scruffy palms, and he wiped away her bubbling tears with his fingertips.
His tone rarely became very low, as if he was coaxing her to listen to him.
Mu Huai asked her: "Talk to Gu, who offended you?"
Rong Xi didn't dare to look directly at the man's sharp eyes, she deliberately avoided her gaze, sobbed a few times, then replied in a low voice: "... Yun Lan... Yun Lan is dead."
Mu Huai was puzzled, and asked again: "Who is Yun Lan?"
Rong Xi raised her beautiful eyes slightly, then lowered them again, and replied: "The maidservant's menstrual cycle was not going well that day...Please Your Highness, please go to Quyun Palace to call Dr. Ye Siyun, named Ye Yunlan. Just then the slaveservant found out...that she was born the day before yesterday. Suicide."
When the word self-inflicted was mentioned, Rong Xi's tears began to flow out of his eyes again, but he deliberately controlled his crying.
Some women cried with a slightly stern and hideous expression.
But when she cried, it was like pear blossoms with rain, like a fairy crying, so tender and pitiful.
Rong Xi's beautiful eyes seemed to be dodging, but in fact they were also searching, secretly sizing up Mu Huai's expression.
The man had great strength, and he didn't know the severity of his strikes. Her delicate shoulders were hurt by him, so she slowly frowned.
Seeing this, Mu Huai let go of the woman's shoulders.
As soon as he let go, Rong Xi threw herself into his arms like a young warbler returning to its nest, her slender arms also wrapped around his wasp waist.
Seeing the woman leaning her head on his shoulder weakly and helplessly, Mu Huai's breathing was slightly stagnant, and the soothing fragrance of her body rushed over.
The warm and tearful pregnant beauty was in his arms extremely tenderly, Mu Huai calmed down his beating heart, but his voice was still calm as usual, he asked her calmly: "Are you suspecting the cause of the death of the doctor girl Ye? "
Rong Xi didn't return him, but sobbed again in his arms.
Mu Huaifeng frowned slightly, and his voice was a bit cold: "You're still pregnant, so you don't care about the child?"
Rong Xi was still leaning on his broad chest, but asked to himself with a slightly weeping sound: "Your Highness... Will you treat the servant and the child of the servant in the future? The servant is helpless in this world, and there is no one Relatives are by your side. Slaves...Slaves only have His Highness alone, if His Highness no longer cares for this servants in the future...then after giving birth to His Highness's child, Slaves might as well die."
When Mu Huai heard her mention the word "death", his low and mellow voice suddenly became ruthless, and he reprimanded threateningly: "Under Gu's nose, you dare to seek death?"
Rong Xi raised her eyes, and looked at Mu Huai with those watery eyes.
Sad and timid, but it is soul-stirring.
Mu Huai was a little distracted by the woman's gaze, and couldn't help but think of the one recorded in the history books, which harmed the beauties of two countries.
At this moment, he finally understood why those monarchs, who were also talented and bold, were bewitched by a woman.
After all, I am not exempt from vulgarity.
Mu Huai had no choice but to wipe away tears for Rong Xi again, and said, "I will not let you die."
After finishing speaking, he leaned slightly.
The tall body cast a shadow on the Luohan bed, and the shadow completely covered the petite woman.
Mu Huai and Rong Xi pressed their foreheads against each other, their thick black eyelashes touched, and he felt her face was soft and wet.
He whispered to the woman in front of him, "Look at Gu."
Rong Xi followed his words and looked into his eyes.
The two were very close, and in his eyes, she saw herself who was weak and lonely because of crying.
At this time, Mu Huai asked in a low voice: "I ask you alone, is crying useful? If you cry, will the nurse come back?"
Rong Xi shook his head and replied: "I won't come back again..."
Ye Yunlan is, and so is Huanniang.
Neither will come back.
Rong Xi's brows furrowed slightly and then quickly relaxed. She forced herself to keep her voice soft and soft, without any resentment.
"You broke your body from crying, what should you do with the orphaned child? Huh?"
It's not just a child, if she really broke down from crying, what should he do.
Of course, Mu Huai did not say this.
He said again: "If you feel that the cause of her death is unknown, you should avenge her with your own hands and make decisions for you alone."
Seeing that the woman's tears gradually stopped, Mu Huai continued: "Besides, as a lonely woman, you can't shrink back. You are always so weak and easy to cry, how can you be given a place in the lonely future?"
One day, he would hold this woman to the position of queen with his own hands, and let her stand by his side, shoulder to shoulder with him.
To be a queen, it is not enough to just have his favor, one must also have means to secure this position.
If she is weak, he can teach her slowly.
Mu Huai's tone was not gentle, but it was persuasive.
Rong Xi likes this about Mu Huai. Although this man is arrogant, if he encounters something he can't see, he will never preach, and he will just scold him with furrowed eyebrows.
The stone hanging in her heart fell to the ground, since her status was mentioned, she would at least be given a honor.
Rong Xi slowly raised her eyes at this time, her eyes were still timid, but full of admiration, as if she regarded the king as the sky.
Mu Huai felt even more pity for her in his heart, he rubbed his forehead against the woman's tender forehead.
His voice was very low, but also very solemn: "I promise you a sharp blade, and I also give you love."
The man's deep eyes seemed to look into her heart.
All her actions just now, although she has real feelings, are mostly acting, and they are all begging for mercy.
But Mu Huai's words: allow her a sharp blade, give her favor.
But it made her heart stop beating for an instant as if it had been hit.
Rong Xi's voice was sweet and hoarse. She lowered her eyes and asked Mu Huai in a soft voice: "...that servant, can you stab anyone with this sharp knife?"
The person she wants to assassinate is most likely Mu Huai's future wife, and Mu Huai's aunt, who is the queen of Daqi.
Mu Huai sneered, and said, "As long as it's not a regicide, you can touch anyone you want."
Take this sharp blade and stab him in the heart.
He asked again: "Or, if you have doubts, tell Gu. Gu will solve that person for you, cut off his head and come to see you."
Rong Xi laughed, but her beautiful eyes were slightly sideways.
She didn't dare to bet on Mu Huai's feelings for Zhai Shiyin, but her goal has been achieved, she has the status of a concubine, and she has the power in the palace.
Rong Xi threw herself into Mu Huai's arms again, and said with a choked voice: "...Your Highness..."
Mu Huai lowered his head and kissed the top of her hair, holding her carefully in his arms with his strong and strong arms, but he couldn't see Rong Xi's slender and fair hands, which were tightly clutching his luxurious and complicated brocade crown .
Rong Xi closed her eyes and thought to herself.
Mu Huai has a quick temper and acts decisively.
Although cruel and resolute, his style of dealing with things is to cut through the mess with a sharp knife, and he can't use the insidious means of slowly torturing people.
Just taking her life is not enough.
She has to let her taste what it means to be in the world and have a heart in hell.
*****
It's clear and snowy at the beginning of the day, rime hangs on the branches in Weiyang Palace, and birds are singing.
The queen has been feeling unwell recently, at this moment, she is wearing a forehead mop and lying lazily on the Arhat bed made of ebony wood.
The Arhat bed is extremely exquisite, inlaid with gold and silver pieces, flowers and birds carved in mother-of-pearl, and four clusters of stones.
The Queen's health is not good, it is difficult to conceive, and it is impossible to give birth to Emperor Zhuang at her current age, which is really a pity in life.
Seeing the handsome and beautiful Zhai Shiyin carefully rubbing her panting legs, the queen's eyes softened, and she said gently: "You have been restless these days, and you are not as cheerful and talkative as you used to be, but you are thinking about the crown prince taking you with you. The girl who entered the East Palace?"
After hearing this, Zhai Shiyin smiled, nodded meekly to the queen, and replied: "My niece knows what my niece is thinking best, and my niece will not hide it from my mother."
Mu Huai brought back a woman from outside the palace, which was the reason why she had been thinking and worrying a lot recently, but this was only one of the reasons.
Another reason is that the assassins she sent to Hongdu have not returned any news to Bianjing. She sent people to look for them, but they couldn't find those assassins, not even a corpse. arrive.
Zhai Shiyin was not sure whether the daughter of the Rong family had died or not.
She was pregnant with Mu Huai's child, so it was a disaster after all.
The queen saw what Zhai Shiyin was thinking, and persuaded: "Being a concubine of the prince is also a concubine of the emperor in the future. Don't be too jealous. There will always be someone who shares your favor, and there will be a pregnancy. Once you have secured your position as the main wife, don't do it again." Take concubines to heart, concubines are just playthings after all."
Zhai Shiyin nodded respectfully.
She understood all these reasons, but when she thought that Mu Huai's first woman was probably the pockmarked daughter of the Rong family, she felt like a lump in her throat, and even nauseated.
But now she really shouldn't think about the ugly daughter of the Rong family, the mysterious woman in the East Palace, who is the biggest threat right now.
She had recently sent someone to inquire about the woman, but the East Palace was heavily guarded and the servants were tight-lipped, so she failed to find out the woman's identity at all.
Someone in the palace said that the girl was extremely beautiful, so Zhai Shiyin had expected that too.
If she was not beautiful, how could she be favored by an arrogant and indifferent man like Mu Huai
The queen saw what Zhai Shiyin was thinking, and said: "If you want to see that woman, tomorrow the Japanese Palace will announce that she will come to Weiyang Palace. Although this woman is nameless, she is still the crown prince's woman. Empress, she should come here to pay respects."
The queen thought, it's just an ordinary civilian girl with a low status.
Let her come to Weiyang Palace, or give her face.
Zhai Shiyin smiled and replied respectfully: "Thank you, Ma'am."
It was night, Zhai Shiyin couldn't sleep peacefully, his mind was always thinking about the woman's appearance.
On the next day, the prince sent someone to Weiyang Palace, saying that the woman had a sudden illness and she was not fit to come to Weiyang Palace to see the queen.
But who knows if the woman is sick or not
Now that spring is approaching, the winter plums in the Meiyuan in the palace are about to wither, Zhai Shiyin thought about going to the Meiyuan on this day to pick some plum snow for the queen to make tea.
Zhai Shiyin walked past the Donghua Gate with something on her mind, and looked at the tower with double eaves protruding from the East Palace with carved walls.
Those clear and beautiful eyes, with deep longing.
Sooner or later, she will live in it.
There is no rush for this moment.
Zhai Shiyin is good at dancing, and her steps seem to be light, she walked to Meiyuan with two maids.
When they arrived at the plum garden, they saw a strange woman standing in the fragrant plum grove.
The closer Zhai Shiyin got to the woman, the color of her eyes changed slightly when she saw her face clearly.
That woman can be described as snow-skinned and beautiful, with a greasy complexion.
She gave birth to an extremely gorgeous and powerful appearance, the snow is not as fair as her complexion, and the plum blossoms are not as soft and charming as her lips.
The flower tinsel between her eyebrows was shining brightly under the noon sun.
Such a stunning beauty, everywhere she goes, is overwhelming, it is too embarrassing.
If it wasn't for the shadow falling on the ground, Zhai Shiyin would have thought that this person was transformed by plum blossom essence.
She subconsciously stroked her face with her hands.
Obviously she is very confident about her appearance, but the appearance of this strange woman in front of her is really much stronger than her.
In front of such a beauty, she can only be called Xiaojiabiyu.
Who is this woman
Zhai Shiyin gradually had an answer in her heart, but she also felt flustered.
Dan Xiang stood by Rong Xi's side and said in a low voice: "Girl, someone has come to Meiyuan. This servant looks at me, it seems to be the eldest lady of the Zhai family."
Rong Xi nodded, and stretched out her slender hands towards the snow-covered plum blossoms. When her fingertips slightly touched the icy snow, the color of her eyes changed slightly.
The eyes that were originally soft and gentle, unexpectedly contained a bit of cruelty.
She hooked her lips, returned to Danxiang, and said, "Got it."
