What is the greatest thing for an emperor
Of course it's the chair under my butt.
In order to make the emperor reluctant to attack her, Shi Jiaojiao ruthlessly betrayed the prince who was planning the chair under the emperor's buttocks.
The hidden dangers at the border were listed one by one, and even the elixir of life was invented at random. The emperor's eyes finally became more and more intense when he looked at her.
Shi Jiaojiao refused to let the emperor promise to keep her or Zhao Pingci alive, because the emperor was not only ruthless, but also all his words were false.
Pardon in person and kill behind his back, this kind of routine is not uncommon. Shi Jiaojiao only makes him long for her, even greedy, making him reluctant to do it, even unable to put it down, so he can only handle it lightly.
She wants to make a treasure box, not one that is inlaid with gorgeous gems on the outside but empty on the inside. But no matter which box is opened, it will shock the world.
After some in-depth brainwashing by Shi Jiaojiao, the killing intent and anger in the emperor's eyes were finally replaced by enthusiasm and greed.
Shi Jiaojiao pulled away the cloth that blocked his mouth and loosened the rope that bound him. After the emperor was released, he immediately strangled Shi Jiaojiao's fatal and delicate neck. She narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "You think I won't kill him after saying so much?" is you?!"
The look was scary, but she didn't use any force on her hands at all. Shi Jiaojiao looked at him calmly. The two looked at each other silently for a while before the emperor let go.
"Your Majesty, please go back," Shi Jiaojiao said, "I believe that your Majesty will have many uses for me. Your Majesty, please don't treat me the same way you treat your concubines in the future. Your concubine will be dead long ago."
"What's wrong with being my concubine?" The emperor stood up from the ground, straightened his clothes, held his head high, and was a good man. He had been in power for a long time. His tone of voice was very arrogant, "If you continue to be my concubine, Concubine, I not only promise you a lifetime of glory, but also the dignity of an imperial concubine."
Shi Jiaojiao looked at the emperor. She stretched out her hand with some sadness, grabbed a hairpin from her head and pulled it off. She turned her sore neck and fiddled with it. The honorific she picked up disappeared without a trace, and she asked the emperor as if she didn't hear him clearly.
"What did you say? Come and say it again."
Shi Jiaojiao chuckled, "Let me be your concubine, and then, like all the women in your harem, wait for your fortune and be jealous of you?" I'm afraid you don't want to live anymore.
The hairpin on Shi Jiaojiao's hand was sharp and sharp, but her eyes when she looked at the emperor were as dark as a dark abyss, and there was even a little smile on the corner of her mouth, which was not as bright as a spring flower, but very penetrating.
The ninth-five-year-old emperor has a true dragon-purple energy, and his true message is to keep all evil away. He has never been afraid of anything in his life. Who would have thought that at this moment, he would make a little girl laugh so hard that her knees would go weak.
Shi Jiaojiao really had murderous intentions at this moment. Who dared to think about asking her to be his concubine even though the emperor had to sacrifice his life even though he was not allowed to drink a toast
Her childhood friend told her that the people she killed would disappear without even a body. If you kill Troublesome, you won't leave any traces.
She twirled the hairpin with nimble fingers and glanced at the emperor's equally delicate neck without leaving any trace.
The emperor shuddered. This was the instinctive fear of life and death. Even in this situation, the person facing him was just a seemingly powerless little girl. No matter how he measured it, he would have the upper hand.
But he was so scared that he wanted to run away.
Shi Jiaojiao was still looking at his neck. The emperor's neck subconsciously felt cold. He stretched out his hands to cover it with a "pop", cleared his throat, shouted with all his strength, "I'm leaving!" and ran away with his tail between his legs. .
Shi Jiaojiao stared at him without a trace, then sighed with regret, fiddled with the hairpin in her hand, and put it on her head again.
The emperor returned to his room and became furious. He scolded the personal eunuchs until they almost peed. He angrily scolded them for not doing their best. He had been gone for so long and no one was looking for him! Even if he died outside, no one would know.
Unfortunately, the personal eunuch was old. The emperor had been disappearing alone many years ago, and he was absolutely not allowed to be found.
Whatever the emperor wanted to do, it was of course manipulative. The old eunuch had no choice but to spread the people who protected the emperor's safety from around the emperor like a net, layer by layer. This ensures that no matter where the emperor wanders, he can ensure his safety.
And when the emperor left in the morning, he obviously couldn't even touch a "net". He could only go to the inner courtyard, to the courtyard of some concubine. Aren't these slaves following him looking for scolding? That's why I didn't follow...
Who would have thought that the emperor's concubines almost killed the emperor.
But why the emperor was so angry had nothing to do with Shi Jiaojiao. After the emperor was dealt with, Shi Jiaojiao comforted the servants, climbed into bed, and lay down with Zhao Pingci.
Her fingers lingered on Zhao Pingci's face, thinking about what to do next.
When things got to this point, the two of them completely became grasshoppers on the same rope, and Zhao Pingci also became loose.
Shi Jiaojiao thought about it, since Zhao Pingci is more like this and likes others to sacrifice for him, isn't that simple
So when the effects of the medicine wore off, Zhao Pingci woke up and found that he had returned to his residence and his injuries had been properly treated. He had not been imprisoned or killed. The emperor did not know what happened to him, and neither did his concubine. After hearing the news, everything seemed to be back to what it was before.
Zhao Pingci was watched by the little eunuch who lived in the same room, and after being raised for two days before she could go to the ground, she asked someone to inquire about Concubine Jiao.
Zhao Pingci was shocked by this inquiry. Concubine Jiao was reprimanded and condemned by the emperor, and she was directly thrown into the cold palace. Before returning to the palace with the emperor, she had to kneel in the palace hall for six hours to repent. It is said that Concubine Jiao's condition has been recurring. , I was sick every day and knelt in the Buddhist hall until late at night.
While Concubine Jiao suffered such rebuke, Zhao Pingci was not implicated.
After hearing this information, Zhao Pingci was puzzled. If Concubine Jiao was guilty, how could he, who was in Concubine Jiao's bed that day, stay out of the matter
And Shi Jiaojiao stopped looking for Zhao Pingci, and didn't even ask anyone to say a word to him. Zhao Pingci tried to contact the people in Shi Jiaojiao's palace, but everyone who saw him kept secretive and avoided him like a snake or scorpion.
The concubine who had previously been entangled with him in every possible way ended her relationship with him overnight and took all the blame on herself.
Zhao Pingci was lying when he said he would not be touched. He was also very surprised. The emperor had already seen his appearance at that time. What price did Concubine Jiao pay for the emperor to let him go
He desperately wanted to contact Shi Jiaojiao, but he tried every means to send notes several times, but it seemed like there was no reply.
Finally, they blocked the maid next to Shi Jiaojiao on the road. The maid tried to run away, but Zhao Pingci blocked her to the rockery.
The little maid had no choice but to say, "My Majesty said that she is at the end of her rope now. Eunuch Zhao must not come back again. If the Emperor knows about it, I will..."
The little maid who spoke was an actress carefully selected by Shi Jiaojiao. Her voice was even more garbled and she couldn't stop talking. Her eyes were as red as rabbits. Halfway through her words, she covered her mouth in horror, shook her head silently and shed tears, like As if he was just talking, he broke away from Zhao Pingci and ran away quickly.
Zhao Pingci was heartbroken after hearing this statement, but Shi Jiaojiao refused to respond to him even a word.
But the good wound medicine he smeared on his back every day, which he never stopped using, was all medicine that they were not qualified to use due to their status.
No matter what method Zhao Pingci used, the people who came to deliver the medicine refused to say who gave these orders.
In fact, even if you don't mention Zhao Pingci, you can guess that his mood is getting more and more complicated day by day. Shi Jiaojiao's grasp is really accurate. Zhao Pingci is the type who will hold back and retreat.
This kind of person is stubborn as hell, but once someone treats him sincerely, he feels guilty and wants to repay him, and when he repays it, he is like a donkey who is doing the grinding, going round and round without getting tired. Stopped.
He tried his best to send a message to Shi Jiaojiao. Shi Jiaojiao spent the whole day slumped in the Buddhist hall. Apart from being a little bored, she was quite comfortable.
Until more than half a month passed in the blink of an eye, Zhao Pingci's injuries were almost healed. Although his attempts to contact Shi Jiaojiao failed many times and he did not dare to blatantly go directly to the Buddhist temple to find someone, he never gave up.
He had been waiting for someone to accuse him, and even secretly sent a letter and secretly gave all the money he had saved over the years to his mother. The road ahead was already paved.
At that time, he was "caught in bed" by the emperor and almost strangled to death. Zhao Pingci thought that he was dead. However, after such a long time, he only heard that Jiao Fei's condition was getting worse and her body was deteriorating, but he was safe.
The emperor even once walked past him, paused slightly and glanced at him, but did not deal with him.
Zhao Pingci made various inquiries during this period, and the little maid leaked something once. He guessed that Concubine Jiao had used something with the emperor in exchange for his life.
But what is it? Why did Concubine Jiao refuse to give him any more information
Zhao Pingci was distracted by these things, and all he could think about was Shi Jiaojiao.
Always thinking about someone for a long time will form a terrible habit. This habit will make your reason and senses uncontrollable until you are slowly occupied by another person.
When Shi Jiaojiao is anxious, she is really anxious, but when she is calm, she is also really calm.
It's been more than a month, and midsummer is about to pass. Shi Jiaojiao turned over the note that Zhao Pingci sent him and her, and finally felt that the heat was coming.
Shi Jiaojiao leaned on the imperial concubine's couch and slowly stirred her fingers in the box containing the note.
He laughed for a while and said to the little maid standing next to him, "Jin Zhi, go to Dr. Wei and get the medicine that he was told to prepare some time ago."
The little maid knew what the medicine was for, and her eyes were red with anxiety. She looked at Shi Jiaojiao and hesitated to speak.
Shi Jiaojiao looked sideways at her. This was the actor sent to fool Zhao Pingci some time ago.
He clicked his tongue and said, "Don't use this trick with me. You weren't even born when I was playing this. I have my own rules for my own affairs."
"But my dear, that medicine will hurt you after all..." The little maid bit her lip, her eyes full of worry.
"Okay, okay, I know you're worried about me," Shi Jiaojiao patted her head, "I'm in good health, and the doctor said that my body will recover once I stop taking the medicine."
After all, the little maid did not dare to disobey Shi Jiaojiao. She went to get the medicine and came back. After boiling it, she gave it to Shi Jiaojiao.
Success or failure depends on this. If it really doesn't work this time, then Shi Jiaojiao's remaining options will all be extreme measures, and there will never be such a gentle policy again.
After drinking the medicine, it didn't take long for Shi Jiaojiao to start to have sluggish steps and cold sweat all over her face. She didn't get any relief even after lying on the bed. She went to bed early at night and woke up the next morning. The little maid came in and saw Shi Jiaojiao. In such a way that he screamed directly.
Shi Jiaojiao's head still hurt so much that she frowned and glared at her, "Am I that scary..."
Then he took the mirror, looked at it, and said briefly, "Mom."
Her face in the mirror was pale and green, like a hanged ghost. She had slept well all night, but now she was still green and black, as if she had endured countless days and nights without any trace of her former self. Pretty
Shi Jiaojiao asked the imperial doctor to prepare this medicine specifically for her. She wanted to really show that she was sick instead of pretending to be sick.
It seems that the effect of this medicine is really good, but the appearance is too scary. Men are all visual animals. Even if Zhao Pingci is a eunuch, he still has aesthetics.
Shi Jiaojiao decided that if she failed in the end because of her appearance, she would make the imperial doctor who dispensed the medicine drink some.
She really looked like she was dying of illness. Shi Jiaojiao looked in the mirror and smacked her tongue. At least no one dared to say that she was pretending to be sick this time.
He also asked his maid to find some dusty clothes and put them on. He looked really miserable.
Tonight is Cui Mei's birthday. The emperor specially held a birthday banquet for Cui Mei in the palace, and set up a singing stage. It is said that he also invited several theater troupes from the imperial city to join in the fun. It all started because Cui Mei mentioned that she yearned for her. The emperor let her experience the life of ordinary people's families and this "folk fun".
Shi Jiaojiao, the "sinner", is also going. Of course, whether she goes or not is not because Cui Mei has face with her, nor is it the emperor who makes the decision, but because Shi Jiaojiao wants to "put away the fishing rod."
She is quite like Jiang Ziya when it comes to catching fish. If she is willing to take the bait, Zhao Pingci will find ways to get close to her today as expected.
Then it’s time to accept the sweet results.
Shi Jiaojiao and Liu Fufeng were supported by their maids. They arrived at the banquet either early or late and sat in the corner. She didn't intend to attract anyone's attention except Zhao Pingci.
But even though she was dressed like a gray mouse turned spirit, looking pale and haggard, her presence at this banquet as a concubine in the cold palace was the focus of everyone's attention.
Emperor, what does this mean
Could it be that Concubine Jiao is making a comeback
Although these concubines did not know what crime Jiao Fei had committed, they only knew that the emperor was furious and punished her, without explaining the reason.
The emperor never mentioned this and did not allow anyone to mention it, but he actually asked her to attend the banquet today. What was the purpose
Could it be that she was deliberately humiliating Concubine Jiao so that she could take a good look at how her aunt who had left the palace managed to gain favor in front of the emperor
Shi Jiaojiao didn't care what everyone speculated. She only cared about Zhao Pingci, because she had already discovered Zhao Pingci, and Zhao Pingci had also discovered her.
Oh ho! Those burning little eyes!
Shi Jiaojiao's mind, which had been dormant for more than a month, became active and excited again.
Zhao Pingci saw Concubine Jiao sitting pitifully in the corner, completely losing her former glory. She was being pointed at and looked extremely thin...
There was an indescribable feeling in his heart that she was like that because of him.
Zhao Pingci suppressed the overwhelming feeling in her heart and decided to have a good talk with her tonight no matter what.
He had too many questions to ask her. During this period, his mind was full of these things. He really couldn't help himself and just pretended that nothing had happened.
Zhao Pingci was really manipulated by Shi Jiaojiao, and all his thoughts were guessed by Shi Jiaojiao.
He has even completely forgotten the past, why he became an eunuch, and that without the prerequisite of "becoming an eunuch", he would not be facing the current situation.
He was now filled with eyes, thinking about why Shi Jiaojiao did this, and seeing how Shi Jiaojiao was so haggard.
Shi Jiaojiao only glanced at Zhao Pingci, and bit the tip of her tongue when they looked at each other. Her eyes were filled with mist. After looking at him for two seconds, she lowered her head and wiped her face with her hand, and then refused to look up again.
When Zhao Pingci received Shi Jiaojiao's tearful gaze, he felt like he was hit hard by something, and an unknown emotion slowly rose in his chest.
Shi Jiaojiao kept her head down throughout the banquet. No matter how lively the banquet was, or even someone deliberately trying to pick a fight, she would treat him like shit. The emperor tried to get up several times and came over, but Shi Jiaojiao stared at his seat with his eyes.
She is busy showing her weakness, helplessness and pitifulness in the 360-degree three-dimensional surround with no blind spots.
Finally, when the banquet was over, she was supported weakly by Liu Fufeng and walked around the dark path.
Sure enough, when we walked to the darkest alley, where the maids were even a little hairy, a man suddenly jumped out from behind the rockery.
Shi Jiaojiao was not surprised at all, but the little maid screamed in fright. Shi Jiaojiao quickly twisted her arm and choked back with the second scream.
An unsatisfactory thing, I had already explained it before and yet I was still scared.
Shi Jiaojiao's wrist was covered by a hot and powerful palm, and she "trembled" exaggeratedly, and then said "ah".
But compared to the maid's shrill and ghostly voice, her voice was really melodious... as if it was too deep.
The maid sighed to herself, and slipped away secretly according to Jiao Jiao's previous instructions, tut-tutting in her heart as she slipped away.
Your Majesty is really good at it. Young Eunuch Zhao must have fallen into trouble this time. Who else can escape after being chosen by your Majesty
Poor emperor... It's really a "green" sky above his head and a green river under his feet.
After the little maid left, Shi Jiaojiao held on to the rockery behind her in shock, looking at the person with a pair of panicked eyes.
Zhao Pingci didn't even think about scaring Shi Jiaojiao, so she quickly said, "My dear, don't be afraid...it's me."
Shi Jiaojiao has been gearing up for a long time. She has rehearsed today's scene countless times.
At first, her whole body suddenly stiffened, and then she let out a cry-like groan from her throat, but she quickly held it back, like a cornered little animal.
Zhao Pingci let her hum, and her heart dropped. Shi Jiaojiao quickly shook off his hand and ran towards the small forest in a panic.
It happens to be the opposite of the way back to the Buddhist temple.
Of course Zhao Pingci would chase after him, but he didn't dare to shout loudly, so he lowered his voice and called Shi Jiaojiao, but Shi Jiaojiao didn't look back and kept heading into the woods.
When they were close to the distance, right in the middle of the grove, no matter who was passing by, they could not hear the conversation between the two, Shi Jiaojiao finally "accidentally" tripped over and fell to the ground.
Zhao Pingci finally caught up with her, ignoring why she looked so delicate and delicate, but she could still walk like flying just now, and hurriedly squatted down the mountain to support Jiao Jiao.
But Shi Jiaojiao shook off his hand and started to perform, "I don't need your help, don't touch me, just leave!"
Zhao Pingci froze, and Shi Jiaojiao pushed him again, "You can't talk to me, and you can't come to me again. Do you know that?"
As Shi Jiaojiao spoke, she finally couldn't help but break down and cry. Zhao Pingci's hands that were frozen in mid-air slowly touched Shi Jiaojiao's shoulders, slowly encircled her and pulled her into his arms.
"Empress..." Zhao Pingci called out softly. Shi Jiaojiao tried to struggle, but was held tighter by him.
"Hurry up and let me go...Don't come to me again, you can't do this... Wuwuwuwu..." Shi Jiaojiao was already happy. This was the first time that Zhao Pingci took the initiative to hug her!
This time has not been wasted, this should be considered a success!
"Empress..." Zhao Pingci hugged the trembling Shi Jiaojiao. There were obviously many things he wanted to ask her and say to her, but feeling Shi Jiaojiao's trembling and swallowing, he could not say a word for a while. Not out.
Why is this...
He was just a eunuch, but Zhao Pingci finally truly believed that Concubine Jiao really liked him.
She became like this for him... What should he do
The two hugged each other in silence. Shi Jiaojiao kept swallowing softly, but she didn't push Zhao Pingci away anymore. Instead, she hugged his waist tightly and kept increasing the strength, as if he would disappear as soon as she let go.
The person in his arms used to be tall and bright, but now he is shrunk, thin, and pitiful.
Zhao Pingci waited for a while, then said in a slightly wavy voice, "You have lost...a lot of weight."
Just as she was crying with all her heart, Shi Jiaojiao paused and almost laughed out loud. She had lost so much weight, she lay in the Buddhist hall all day long, ate and slept, and gained weight.
Sure enough, once people are confused by some kind of guidance, they will deceive themselves according to that train of thought.
Shi Jiaojiao took this perfect opportunity to say in a vague and very small voice, "I... miss you..."
Sure enough, after Zhao Pingci heard this, he frowned slightly and felt something was stirring in his heart. He pursed his lips and asked again, "Tell me the truth, how did you ask the emperor to let me go?"
Shi Jiaojiao was hiding in his arms and refused to speak. If she took the initiative to say something like this, it would seem false. Although it was originally false, if Zhao Pingci forced her to say it, Zhao Pingci would believe it.
"Tell me," Zhao Pingci held Shi Jiaojiao's face and pulled her up from his arms. He couldn't see Shi Jiaojiao's expression clearly because it was really dark here.
But he could touch Jiaojiao's tears, and he could also hear Shi Jiaojiao's crying voice.
"It's okay...it's nothing," Shi Jiaojiao suddenly thought of something and pushed Zhao Pingci, "Go quickly... go quickly!"
It was impossible for Zhao Pingci to leave. He had now been lured to a road of no return by Shi Jiaojiao. He held Shi Jiaojiao's little face and said fiercely, "If you don't tell me, I will never look for you again!"
Shi Jiaojiao shrank from being yelled at, and couldn't help but cry again, "If you don't want to look for me, you won't look for me. Who cares if you look for me..."
She said so, but she hugged Zhao Pingci's waist tightly and refused to let go.
Like a child who reaches out to pick up candy while saying I don’t want it.
The more Shi Jiaojiao was "uninformed", the more she was able to touch Zhao Pingci. He continued, "Do you want to tell me... If you don't tell me, I will leave now."
Shi Jiaojiao was very enthusiastic about cooperating with him. The hands around his waist were tightly entwined together. After being torn apart by Zhao Pingci, she even choked with a cry of collapse in her voice.
"I said... don't leave..." Shi Jiaojiao squatted on the ground, hugging Zhao Pingci's legs, and was finally "forced" to the point of desperation.
He spoke intermittently, "I use my brother... my brother's military talisman..."
After Zhao Pingci heard all the causes and consequences, he was so shocked that he was completely stunned.
Concubine Jiao's backing is her family, but her most powerful backing is not Lord Shangshu, but her brother, the general stationed in Panfan.
Panfan is a fortress in three provinces. The emperor has long wanted to withdraw all his troops, but he can't find a valid reason. The emperor recalled the general some time ago, and Concubine Jiao committed an offense at this time. In order to save Zhao Pingci's life, she The orderer stole her brother's military talisman and gave it to the emperor.
Losing the military talisman was a serious crime of beheading. The emperor did not punish him, but the general became a deputy general and was sent directly to the border by the emperor.
But now, Concubine Jiao has not only been relegated to the cold palace and lost the favor of the emperor, but her support has also been lost, and she has completely fallen out with her natal family.
She actually did this for herself...
Zhao Pingci slowly squatted down and held Shi Jiaojiao's face again. The various emotions in his heart were so surging that it was deafening. He had never thought that he could have such strong feelings.
If someone treats him like this, what else can he ask for
Zhao Pingci held Shi Jiaojiao's face, wiped her tears with his fingers, lowered his head and followed her lips, pressing them gently.
In this life, whether life or death, I will never let you down.
