Queen Qin's voice was not high-pitched, even a little gentle, but every word was like a sharp sword, piercing Concubine Yin's heart.
Yes, she is a concubine. Even if her son ascends the throne, he cannot be buried in the imperial mausoleum.
"My noble concubine, you are not allowed to see my jokes. I see that we have served the emperor together for so many years, so I would like to send a message to my sister."
Empress Qin admired Concubine Yin's slightly changed expression and said with a smile: "The me you are today will be you tomorrow!"
As soon as these words came out, Concubine Yin was filled with hatred. She took a deep breath and said, "The Queen is still too self-righteous. Do you know why you fell?"
Queen Qin's eyes suddenly widened.
Concubine Yin looked at her playfully, came closer, and said in a low voice: "That's because King Shou and King Xian have already reached an agreement in private. The person they will deal with together is your son."
Queen Qin's body trembled violently, and anger burst out in her eyes.
She never understood how she and Prince Rui could fall apart...
I see.
She suppressed the hatred in her heart, slowly walked to the window, and looked at the bright spring sun outside.
The spring sun is so beautiful. When people stand in the sun, they feel warm all over. Unlike this miserable cold palace, no matter how many quilts you put on it, it can't warm your heart.
She straightened her back and said calmly: "If so, congratulations to the noble concubine for getting what she wishes for soon."
Concubine Yin held her head high and said with a smile: "Looking at our usual friendship, I will never treat my sister badly, as long as she stays safe and behaves herself."
If you still want to be a concubine, don't blame her... for being cruel.
Queen Qin was silent, her slender body motionless like a stone sculpture.
Seeing her surrender, Concubine Yin felt extremely happy. After more than ten years, she finally let out her turbid breath.
"Oh, by the way, sister, the Zhenguo Palace has confiscated it. The emperor thought of my sister's good deeds, so he didn't do anything cruel, and she still lives. Please don't be too sad, sister!"
Concubine Yin dropped these words, smiled softly, and slowly walked out of this palace that was not even popular.
A line of hot tears fell from Queen Qin's eyes. The army was defeated like a mountain, and even she was banned. How could the fate of those behind her be any better
People can't fight for their lives!
Mr. Yin, I dare to predict that your son will never be able to sit in that position, and your end will be a hundred times worse than mine.
If you don’t believe it, let’s wait and see!
Queen Qin was so filled with hatred that she burst into giggles.
How miserable!
Zhao Jingwei walked out of the palace gate and got into the luxurious carriage. As soon as the curtain fell, his face sank.
The woman's delicate light appeared in front of her eyes, and something seemed to be tugging at her heart.
She is just wearing an official robe, without any red or green flowers, which makes people unable to take their eyes away. If she were dressed up in makeup, she would be so stunning.
The seventh child in the Jiang family was not good at it, but he had a surprisingly good eye for women.
But if such a woman is not used for sexual pleasure, then she becomes an emperor, so what
What can you think of? Zhao Jingwei felt worried.
"Brother-in-law!"
Zhao Jingwei lifted the curtain to take a look. A few feet away, Yin Lifeng was wearing a brocade robe and sitting on a horse with a beautiful face.
"Where are you going?"
Yin Lifeng forced out a smile. He was so depressed that he wanted to find someone to get drunk.
"I'm waiting for you. Brother-in-law, I want to drink at your house."
Zhao Jingwei's eyes flashed with waves, her heart moved, and she waved to him.
"Come up here, I have something to ask you."
Yin Lifeng threw away the reins, jumped onto the carriage, and asked with a smile, "Brother-in-law, what do you want to ask?"
Zhao Jingwei hesitated for a moment and said, "How is Xizhongzhi doing in the mansion?"
Originally he was asking about the eighth sister's marriage to the Su family. Yin Lifeng smiled and said, "It's great that my mother is taking care of it. Brother-in-law, don't worry."
"The imperial concubine said that this matter must be handled in a smooth manner."
"Don't worry, my mother loves the eighth sister the most. She keeps adding to the dowry, so she will never feel wronged."
Zhao Jingwei pondered for a moment and said: "Today, the king met Dr. Gu in the palace and exchanged a few words. Ziyu happened to be there as well. The king looked at her and saw that Ziyu treated that woman quite differently."
Yin Lifeng was stunned, looked at the King Xian cautiously, and then said with a smile: "Brother Su's mother's illness was treated by Dr. Gu. It must be for this reason."
Zhao Jingwei raised her narrow phoenix eyes and said with a slight smile: "That's it!"
In the boudoir of the Shijia Courtyard, all the maids did not dare to show their anger, and they only listened carefully to what was going on in the back room.
The young lady suddenly fell ill. If something happened, they would all die.
In the back room, Gu Qingwan looked at Shi Songyin's pale face, and his expression darkened.
Lu Zhiyu wiped her tears aside, "Sister, what happened to Songyin?"
Qingguan sneered, "Fortunately I'm here, otherwise... hum!"
The place where Shi Songyin fainted was by the pavilion, only an arrow's distance away. Even so, when Qingguan rushed over, it was already extremely dangerous.
"Ah!" Lu Zhiyu exclaimed, and even more tears fell, "Sister, what about her illness..."
Qingguan patted her on the shoulder and walked outside without saying a word.
Shi Lei saw her coming out and stood up to meet her. Although his expression was calm, the anxiety in his eyes was clear.
"how?"
"No problem."
Qing Guan glanced sideways, looked at the man in Qing Yi, and said with a cold face: "Come out, I have something to say."
Jiang Hongwen never expected that Gu Liu would speak to him in such a tone, which made him angry, annoyed and regretful.
Today he entered the Shijia Courtyard. Thinking of avoiding the little ancestor, he didn't even enter the second door and went straight to the garden. Who would have thought that we would meet him in the pavilion.
He didn't say anything, so he fainted.
Seeing Master Jiang Qi's ugly face, Shi Lei was busy trying to smooth things over, "Qingguan, it's not Master Qi's fault for this, you..."
"Brother, don't talk too much, go see if Songyin is awake." Qingguan interrupted coldly, with an unquestionable tone.
Shi Lei looked at this and that, sighed and simply avoided it.
When Jiang Hongwen saw no one else around, he thought: "Qingguan, listen to me, you really can't blame me for this."
"Hongwen!"
Qingguan interrupted in a low voice: "Songyin was born with a heart disease and would not have lived to be sixteen. If I hadn't been here..."
Can't live to be sixteen? Jiang Hongwen's ears were like drums, thumping.
"It is precisely because of this that the historians do not restrict themselves to her temperament. In fact, she is a very good person with a true temperament. Although she is not as chaste, quiet and virtuous as the ladies in her boudoir, she has her own character."
Jiang Hongwen slowly calmed down, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me earlier, I would have let her go."
Gu Qingwan lowered his eyes slightly.
"She has suffered from a lot of illnesses since she was a child. After a rare recovery, she no longer wants to show weakness to others and wants to live like a normal person. We couldn't help her and we hid it for her."
Jiang Hongwen looked at Qingguan's eyes and felt that the word "bastard" was written on his head, and he was afraid.
The way she was sick was truly terrifying. If she couldn't breathe, she would fall into the river of forgetfulness. If this was the case, she would be the culprit.
"From now on, I will try my best not to see her, and even if I see her, I will let her go. Don't worry."
Seeing that he lowered his head, Qingguan's voice softened, "Hongwen, this is the first time I see her. She is as thin as a cat, but she still has a smile on her face."
At that time, her heart was full of hatred, and her whole body was full of holes. Her face and her smile were like a sharp sword, breaking away the coldness on the surface of her memory layer by layer.
"Everyone in the world is afraid of death, but she is not afraid. She told me that it is enough to have the love of her parents, brothers and sisters-in-law and a confidant like me in this life!"
Qingguan smiled faintly and whispered: "She is so simple and contented, so contented that she doesn't even bother to resent God's injustice to her!"
Jiang Hongwen heard buzzing in his head. To this day, he has never heard anyone say this.
Qingguan sighed softly, "Hongwen, please let her order, I beg you!"
Shi Songyin woke up faintly, and there were a group of people surrounding her bed, all of whom were familiar faces to her.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she looked straight into those eyes as deep as the sea, and her heart ached.
He stood under the candlelight, with a slender figure and a lingering melancholy look on his face that could penetrate people's hearts.
Shi Songyin turned away, took a deep breath, and said in a voice as loud as a mosquito, "Brother, sister-in-law, I'm fine, you go back and rest."
Qingguan twitched the corner of her mouth slightly, stood up and said, "Second sister, I'll talk to Songyin about my feelings. You all go and do your work."
With gratitude in her eyes, Lu Zhiyu patted Qingguan's hand and said, "Good sister!"
Everyone left one after another, and the room suddenly became quiet. Qingguan sighed softly and said, "Tell me, what happened between you and him?"
Shi Songyin was startled, tears streaming down his face, and he was choked with sobs.
Gu Qingguan took her hand and held it in his palm, "You have never been a careless person. There is always a reason for everything. Besides, I have always noticed your illness, and there has never been such a dangerous moment. It would be good if you treat me as a good person. Sister, just tell me the truth.”
Shi Songyin's tears fell even more fiercely, and her face was plagued by a vague pain. How to say these words, she really couldn't.
"Qingguan, stop asking."
Gu Qingguan frowned, she had always been unable to keep things in mind, and whenever there was any trouble, she would talk to herself for a long time. He looked at her expression, unsure of what was going on.
His heart skipped a beat, and he blurted out cold words, "Shi Songyin, are you going to break up with me? If you don't say anything anymore, I won't care about you!"
Gu Qingwan stood up and held her with a cold hand.
"Qingguan, I'm sorry for you, I like someone I shouldn't like!"
After Shi Songyin finished speaking, he burst into tears.
She is a person who has no tomorrow, and thinks that she doesn't care about anything. She spends her whole life accompanying her brother, sister-in-law, nephew, and living a free and easy life.
It's just that she still fantasizes in her heart about whether there will be a man who doesn't mind her body and loves her wholeheartedly.
Later, she met him, and that fantasy became a real person, and she couldn't get rid of him in her dreams at midnight. Shi Songyin blinked his eyes and buried his head in the quilt, tears kept pouring out.
