"Is it... the emperor?" He Fei said this softly.
The two maids standing behind her knelt down with pale faces.
But the fresh green and broken red behind Shen Chuliu just stood with their eyes lowered.
"Although the saying that good and evil will be rewarded in the end is sometimes false. But in the harem, people who are too vicious will not last long. Concubine Yang was like this in the past, and so is you now. Concubine Yang is ruthless and extravagant. , and you think you are low-key, but because you are so good at hiding, who is not afraid of you? "
Shen Chuliu looked at her with a smile: "I am so afraid of you that I want to destroy you."
"Don't you know? It was not Concubine Li De or Concubine Qianshu who exposed all this to others. It was the girl in front of Concubine Qianshu. But do you know where that girl came from? She is the second prince's concubine, right? , is the Li Qiushui whose appearance was ruined by your scheme back then."
"The person she arranged for Concubine Qian Shu, a person you have never paid attention to, can easily expose you. Congmeng, Qimeng, and Agarwood Fuxiang have all entered the Inner Criminal Division. There is also your lost eunuch. "Shen Chuliu whispered all these things to He Fei as if chatting about everyday things.
The concubine's breathing was rapid. After a long time, it gradually calmed down.
"You know everything."
"Yes, I understand. I'm just very curious, very curious. Why? You have always been favored, from being a queen to now, why?"
The concubine laughed: "Why?"
"Ms. Jing Guifei is of noble birth. From the first day you entered the palace, you have been aloof. Even when you were of low status, no one dared to bully you. You rely on the Shen family and live unscrupulously. Of course you don't understand why I am like this. Do."
The concubine smiled and said: "Do you know? I was eleven years old, my family was ruined, and I was sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I didn't want to, but I couldn't help it. Even becoming a slave was a good outcome. My concubine The sisters were either turned into prostitutes or turned into playthings, and they all died.”
"But do you know how I live? Because I am good-looking, how many people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs covet me? They are all eunuchs, and they covet me! I have no choice but to rely on a nanny, but she has a bad temper, and in the end I like beating and scolding people. Have you ever suffered like this
Shen Chuliu didn't speak, just looked at her.
"I knew when I was a child that my family was innocent. I was innocent too. But who cares? I was finally taught by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, sent to the harem, and assigned to Changle Palace. I was originally a third-class girl, but because of this I'm good-looking, but my concubine doesn't want to see me, so she calls me a rough messenger. I have little money and a lot of work, so beatings are commonplace."
"In the end, I need to fight for her favor again, and I need to be grateful to her. Haha. I really didn't care at that time. I only wanted to reverse the case for the Su family. But that is such a difficult thing."
"At that time, I didn't care about anything, not even the child in my belly. As long as I could bring down the Feng family, as long as I could reverse the case of the Su family."
"But, you are obsessed with the wealth in the harem. Gradually, you don't think so anymore." Shen Chuliu smiled again, with ridicule and understanding.
"Your Su family has overturned the case, but you are still a Su beauty. Even for many years, you have not been able to get a title. Your health is broken, and no matter how hard you try, you can only give birth to a daughter, but you regret it. If you had not had a miscarriage, That'll be fine." "You think I'm so lucky, so you want to side with Concubine Li De, but you don't really mean it. You even told Zhen Chongyi that you were loyal to her, and she was optimistic about you before she died. That’s right, you are a natural conspirator.”
"That's right, I just made Zhenchong Yi think that I would bring down the fourth prince. She was willing to risk harming you. But in the end she couldn't say it was my idea. I had no reason to be caught by her." The concubine also smiled.
"I really hate you, you, Concubine Li De, Zhen Chongyi, and the idiot Feng Suxin. You all act unscrupulously just because you are born well. And what about me? I should be the same as you, but what kind of life do I live? ?”
"The emperor dotes on me? Does he really dote on me? Ah? Does he know that sometimes I can't even afford the money to reward my slaves? He dotes on me and gives me so many good things, but he never gives me any money. But what about you? Are you short of money? He also remembers to give you gold and silver."
"That year, I had a miscarriage and had to go to the palace during my confinement. The emperor didn't ask me if I wanted to go. In the eyes of outsiders, it was such a favor to take me to relax. But do you know, from that time on? , I suffered from leg pain because of the cold weather in the palace. How old was I then? "
"There was a strong wind one year, and all my windows were blown out. Yes, someone came to repair it very quickly the next day, but what did you say when I listened to you chatting? Even Yao, who was nothing at that time, It’s just the outside that’s broken, but mine’s all broken because there’s not a single window in my house that’s made of glass.”
"Whether I was above the ninth concubine in the past or I am now, I am always stingy in the eyes of the Bureau of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the kitchen. But can they believe it? I have no money." He Fei smiled. , but the tears also came down.
"You are so pitiful." Shen Chuliu shook his head with pity: "You are really pitiful."
The concubine paused and looked at her: "Do you think I'm pitiful?"
"Yes, you are really pitiful. But pitiful people must be hateful. You don't even know what you want. Aren't you pitiful?"
"It was your fault that your family suffered a big disaster when you were a child, but there are more than tens of millions of people in this world who are suffering? Are they all like you, and you start harming people when you have a way out?"
"In the final analysis, you are just feeling inferior and jealous."
"You hate Concubine Yi for pushing you out like a plaything, but on the first night you slept with me, why didn't you kneel down on the emperor and forcefully explain it clearly? The emperor probably wouldn't force you. And because you are the daughter of the Su family, you You put it aside for now.”
"But at that time, you might not know that the Feng family would take action, and you wouldn't dare to take a gamble."
"You hate that the emperor is not nice to you, but when you are dealing with the emperor, you are always a worry-free and sensible concubine. The emperor has everything to do, so you ask him to worry about what window the concubine is using?"
"So, you are pitiful. You have a heart that is superior to others, but in fact you are extremely inferior. You are inferior, jealous, and envious. You long to become us, but you can never become us . So, you just wanted to fool us into applause. You see, you succeeded."
"But if you look closely, when you destroyed Li Qiushui's appearance, you probably felt that she was really the least important person. But have you ever thought that you would fall for her?"
