Pampered Into Being The Empress

Chapter 8: The face of the king

Views:

As soon as Mu Huai finished speaking, the little eunuch immediately pressed his forehead to the ground, and his thin body heaved and trembled in shock.

Rong Xi also quickly got up from the bed and knelt down on the ground.

Mu Huai's wheelchair had already parked in front of her bed. He lowered his eyes, glanced coldly at the trembling eunuch on the ground, and ordered in a deep voice, "Get out."

The little eunuch quickly left Rong Xi's room as if he had received an amnesty.

Rong Xi lowered her head, she had been tortured for the past few days, and she looked thinner than before.

Seeing this, Mu Huai couldn't help squinting, and said calmly, "Get up, and continue eating."

"yes… "

Rong Xi frowned, Mu Huai had the intention of personally supervising her eating, it was originally a good reward, but it seemed like she was going to punish her.

Rong Xi was miserable, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and forcefully stuff those expensive foods into her mouth, chewing with difficulty under Mu Huai's nose.

Rong Xi used to go hungry when she was down and down, and even cried when she was hungry.

She never thought that there would be such a day when a lot of delicacies were in front of her eyes, but she wanted to cry.

Mu Huai looked at Rong Xi's kitten-like eating face.

He thought, he couldn't blame that when he hugged her that day, he felt painful and pricked, this woman's appetite was really too small.

Mu Huai is very close to Rong Xi, when Rong Xi occasionally glanced at him from the corner of his eye, he couldn't help feeling secretly.

This person obviously has the handsome appearance of Zhilan Yushu, but the aura exuding around him, why is it so forceful

Mu Huai's eyes were delicate and deep.

Slightly narrow and long, looking cool and thin and cold.

Originally, he had beautiful eyes, but because of the slightly raised eye ends, he gave people a sense of majesty and oppression at his young age.

Faintly has the appearance of an emperor.

It's a pity that Mu Huai's legs are sick.

Thinking of this, Rong Xi felt a little regretful, and unconsciously glanced at Mu Huai.

Seeing Rong Xi looking at him, Mu Huai frowned, raised his jaw slightly at the food, and signaled her to continue eating.

Rong Xi already felt very full, and the speed of eating was obviously much slower.

She has already foreseen her tragic end, and it is estimated that tomorrow the eunuchs and maids of Yongxi Palace will pass—

Said that the violent fourth prince killed another court lady, and the court lady was carried out of Quyun Palace sideways.

How did you die

Overwhelmed.

Fortunately, Shunfu arrived in time to relieve Rong Xi's urgent need to burn coal.

Shunfu persuaded Mu Huai again and again: "Your Highness, the shortfall in Miss Rong's body can only be made up in a day's work. The girl's family has a small appetite, so there is no way to eat like this."

Mu Huai thought about it.

He didn't mean to make things difficult for Rong Xi deliberately, but he was upset that she distributed the food he gave to the eunuch, and after a long silence, he finally let Rong Xi go.

Shunfu saw Rong Xi's look of rejoicing for the rest of his life, and said to her: "Your Highness gave the girl so many dishes because he was thinking about the girl's body and wanted her to recover quickly."

Rong Xi nodded to Mu Huai, and replied: "My servant, thank you for the food."

Hearing her thank you in that soft voice, Mu Huai gave a slight snort, and put his hand on the wooden push ring of the wheelchair.

Before leaving the room, Rong Xi looked at Mu Huai's back, and heard him say in a deliberately cold voice, "Get well soon, and don't even have the strength to grind ink for me."

After hearing this, Shun Fu smiled helplessly at Rong Xi.

The two of them knew each other well that Mu Huai's words were never forgiving, and he was always poisonous.

Shunfu brought red dates and ginger silk water to Rong Xi, and told her to drink some every day, to recuperate her body, so that she would not suffer from any problems at a young age.

After Rong Xi thanked Shunfu, she felt warm in her heart.

Shunfu is like her elder in Quyun Palace, thanks to his care and guidance, she can adapt to the new environment so quickly.

*****

At the time of the next day.

The Yongxi Palace continued to rain in autumn, and the chilly rain fell all night.

The cloudiness in the sky is very thick this day, which makes people feel depressing.

Rong Xi always had an ominous premonition, because she didn't get much sleep last night.

Through the prismatic wooden window, she faintly heard the crying of the little eunuch outside.

Rong Xi panicked a little, hurried out of the living room to inquire about the situation, and then saw a few powerful eunuchs entering Shun Fu's room.

When they came out again, they carried Shun Fu out.

Rong Xi's breathing stagnated, and then an unspeakable grief filled his heart.

Shun Fu died.

Rong Xi originally thought that his body would recover well and he would live for a few more years, but he passed away suddenly, and she couldn't accept it for a while.

Mu Huai was pushed out of Shunfu's room by the guards. His lips were pale, and his face was as gloomy as ever, making it impossible to discern any emotions.

He still straightened his back, and there was no trace of grief on his face.

But Rong Xi looked at Mu Huai, but felt that at this moment, he was lonely and lonely.

Since it will be Emperor Muzhen's birthday in a few days, the death of an old eunuch in the palace should not alarm too many people.

Rong Xi dragged his unhealed body, and together with Mu Huai and Dali eunuch, copied the back road in the palace, and sent Shunfu's body to the Gongchen Gate behind Yongxi's Forbidden City.

Beside Gongchen Gate, there are several towering ancient cypress trees with sparse branches and leaves.

The dark green in midsummer has faded to yellow and pale.

The turret with double eaves on the wall of the Forbidden City is still majestic, and the Forbidden City guards stationed on it are looking into the distance.

Mu Huai watched Shunfu's coffin being carried out of the Gongchen Gate without saying a word. He was also recovering from a serious illness and his complexion was not good.

The autumn sky was getting colder and colder, and Mu Huai didn't add any more clothes.

Rong Xi knew that she was just a court lady with a very low status, and it was not her turn to sympathize with Mu Huai.

But the more he remained silent, the more she felt compassion.

Seeing that Mu Huai's clothes were stained with dead leaves, Rong Xi knelt down on the rain-soaked bluestone slabs, and carefully picked off the dead leaves for him.

Rong Xi's voice was still soft, but his tone was quite solemn, and he said to Mu Huai: "Your Highness, this slave will definitely take good care of you in the future, and will become the most capable person by your side..."

"... As long as His Highness doesn't dislike her, the servants will accompany His Highness."

Mu Huai's expression was unpredictable, when he heard what Rong Xi said, he looked down at her.

Immediately, he stretched out his slender right hand, slightly bent his index finger, and touched her chin, making her look up at him.

Rong Xi was a little apprehensive, not daring to look directly into his eyes.

Mu Huai ordered: "Look at me."

Rong Xi had no choice but to raise her head as she said, and was facing his deep black eyes, her heart beating faster and faster.

Mu Huai's voice was low, staring at her, and said: "Since you have followed me as my master and become my servant, you will be with me until death. Unless one day I don't want you anymore, otherwise you won't be able to marry me for the rest of your life." I want to leave from my side. If I want to leave, I will leave this forbidden city with my death just like Shunfu... "

Mu Huai's words paused, he observed Fan Rongxi's expression, and asked again: "So, will you continue to be a court lady by my side?"
