In this world, only the emperor could make the queen bleed profusely and give her such a deep wound on her forehead, and yet he could just downplay it and say it was no big deal.
A middle-aged palace woman, Mu Shang Gong, was carefully cleaning her wound with medicine while sobbing; the eunuch Cao Tai looked at the horrific wound, which was almost touching the bone, and also sighed.
While others were acting like this, Empress Fu had a slight smile on her face and squinted her eyes, making it hard to understand. She suddenly opened her red lips and said: "Why are you crying? It's nothing serious. The emperor is just upset and angry over a small matter. Besides, it was caused by a mistake."
Mu Shang Gong gently wiped the blood off her forehead with a handkerchief, looked at the shocking wound and said: Although the cut is not big, it is too deep and will definitely leave a scar. The Queen's perfect face will be disfigured.
Fu snorted and said: That's not a big deal.
She squinted her eyes and observed the expressions of the two people around her. She might have some genuine sympathy for her. After all, they were the people who came in and out most often, and they had some feelings for each other after a long time. But most importantly, Cao Tai, Mu Shang Gong and others were also worried about the queen's fall. These people often came in and out of the queen's side. Everyone in the palace knew that they were the queen's confidants. If no one protected them, they would probably have no good end, and they couldn't escape.
Fu was thinking about the emperor's decree that she could no longer go to Jinxiang Palace, and she would not be able to please the emperor often to maintain their relationship. However, this did not bother Fu, and she casually said: "From now on, you must bring Chai Zongxun to me every day, because children are still loved by everyone."
Upon hearing this, Mu Shang Gong hurriedly said: Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince misses his mother the most. The first word in the church is 'Queen Mother'.
Fu didn't like Chai Zongxun at all, but in comparison, she felt that the child also had his good points.
At this time, she called Cao Tai forward again and asked softly: Have you checked all the people I asked you to check
Cao Tai hurriedly said in a deep voice: "We have investigated everything. The eunuch Wang Zhong is the leader. The three eunuchs and five eunuchs are all found to be Wang Zhong's subordinates. There are also many suspicious people in the Ye Ting Bureau, the Palace Bureau, and the Internal Servant Bureau. I have been keeping an eye on them for several months. I have investigated them one by one without alerting them. I have thoroughly investigated these people and not missed any of them. As long as the queen takes charge of the situation, she can make them pay for their crimes one by one."
Wang Zhong was noticed by Cao Tai because he was found to be monitoring the inner palace. Fu guessed that the eunuch's subordinates should be directly following the emperor's orders. She immediately stopped him and said: Don't alert the enemy. I have checked everything and brought up the list, but I told you not to touch your subordinates, do you understand
Cao Tai hurriedly said: "Well, it's all up to your Majesty."
The wound on Fu's forehead was no longer so painful. Mu Shanggong's hands were very gentle, and now it felt itchy and painful. Fu actually felt a strange sense of pleasure in her heart.
She felt that there was no difference between pain and no pain, and the only difference was numbness and no numbness. Perhaps pain is caused by discomfort, but when the discomfort occurs too often, the feeling of pain becomes insignificant. No matter how bitter Coptis chinensis is, it will become tasteless if you chew it for too long.
The new flesh on the wound seemed to be connected to her heart when touched. It made her feel as if something was scratching her heart. This feeling was very strange and familiar. She finally remembered that it was the touch of Shao Ge'er's firm muscles that scratched the sensitive part of her heart in the morning.
The clothes that the second sister wore were too tight and didn't seem to fit her. But she was determined to put them on, so she took off her lining and put on only the outer garment, which made them fit her body a little better.
But she didn't pay attention. Wearing outer clothes while naked would be very uncomfortable, especially since her chest was full and firm, which would cause a slight pain somewhere. But it would be fine if she was careful not to move around. But when they hugged her, she was directly pressed down by the strong embrace and it was very uncomfortable. That place seemed to be connected to her heart, and it felt like it went straight to her heart.
It felt like something was scraping across my heart, a little painful and numb.
Fu felt her body was soft, so she lay down on the couch. Mu Shanggong, who was bandaging her wound, hurriedly took a soft pillow and put it under the queen. Fu stopped talking and leaned lazily on the pillow as if she was resting her eyes.
The scene in the Fu family's study in the morning was too fast and too hurried. She didn't have time to feel it carefully. But she remembered every detail very clearly. Fu was originally a very good person in her memory.
The direction of the sun, the faint scent of ink in the study, and the clean clothes of Shao Ge'er with the fragrance of soap and a hint of masculine scent. Maybe what the second sister said is right, there is something that is really the most interesting thing in the world.
But the second sister didn't explain it clearly, and there must be a rare and mysterious concern. In Fu's heart, he suppressed the desire and thoughts that were carefully and carefully aroused by the second sister, and the complex feelings intertwined.
We are both warriors, why is he so careful and thoughtful? Fu Shi was reluctant to recall the past, and just wanted to think about one of the fragments when she was bored. She didn't dare to think about it again. If she thought about it too many times, it would fade away; just like the money in her pocket, it would be less if she spent it. She was reluctant to let it go and became cautious.
His eyes, his heart beating fast, his face showing panic yet pretending to be calm. A smile appeared at the corner of Fu's mouth, and he thought: His heart is as clean as the smell on his body.
Jinzhan, when others stay away from you, I will get closer to you.
Fu thought about this sentence, and her heart was beating again. This sentence was said cleverly, with a teasing of never leaving, just like everyone in Li Shouzhen's house had abandoned her, but Shao Ge'er did not leave; it also had an ambiguous hint that with so many people around the queen, how could he dare to get close to her? He could only get close when everyone around him was far away.
It seemed like he wanted to have a tryst, but he didn't need to say it out loud. Shao Ge'er was really a thoughtful person.
Fu suddenly felt a little embarrassed and thought: What's the point of being a queen? She still lives like this every day. It doesn't matter if she doesn't care. But the problem is that she doesn't care, but so many people in the Fu family, young and old, do. Besides, she can't live without being a queen now.
If I had more power, above the imperial power, I could do whatever I want. Who can threaten me? Who can make a big cut on my forehead? I can just say sorry and let it go. There is no need to be so timid, to humiliate myself, to please others, to act, to say those shameless words. How can I feel good? Every word is torturing her heart, which has been arrogant for many years, trampling on her self-esteem.
Fu collected her thoughts and gradually calmed down. The world was like a tangled fishing net that slowly unfolded before her.
