Chapter 61 Concubine Heart 14

The desertedness of Changning Pavilion has become the norm. The fireworks all over the sky on New Year's Eve can't come in, and the lights of the Lantern Festival can't come in either.

The decoction he drank every day had never warmed his heart like before, so why was that person so cruel?Zhuo Yu would sometimes have such thoughts.When he was a child, he didn't understand why his father often stood in the porch and looked forward to it alone. The child's voice innocently asked what his father was doing. Du Yi lowered his head and touched his little head lovingly. His voice was full of melancholy and said, "Daddy is waiting for your father." Emperor.At that time, he didn't understand the expectation and hope in his father's eyes, he only felt that his father's figure was so lonely and pitiful, but now he realizes that if his heart is not on him, he will not be pitiful even if he doesn't know it.

Zhuo Yu finally waited for Chu Xiongjie to come. It was almost dark that day, he heard the sound of the palanquin being driven out from the porch of Changning Pavilion, he rushed out to meet him, and when he got on the palanquin, he cast a pair of deep and deep eyes

Chu Xiongjie seemed to be in a good mood that day. Zhuo Yu saw the smile on the corner of his mouth. At that moment, the dissatisfaction and resentment that he had waited for for a long time dissipated instantly. He was reluctant to take his eyes off him. He smiled happily: "The emperor .”

Chu Xiongjie raised his hand to signal to stop, he got out of the sedan chair, and strode up to Zhuo Yu, not blaming him for being impolite, stretched out his hand to take his palm, rubbed it lightly, and said, "Why are you so thin?"

Zhuo Yu smiled, Ren Chuxiong led him to the Changning Pavilion, he didn't mention the grievance of being grounded, he didn't mention the torment of the day and day, he smiled like the first flower blooming in the spring breeze, bright And Yanyan: "I miss you."

Chu Xiongjie first squinted his eyes when he heard the words, and then laughed out loud, the laughter was thick and powerful, and spread far and wide.

"The emperor is in such a good mood today?" Seeing his smile, Zhuo Yu felt happy for no reason.

"Happy," Chu Xiongjie pulled him into his arms, "There is something in the court, I am happy to hear that."

Zhuo Yu easily agreed, he would not break the rules to ask what was going on in the court, since the day he asked himself to be Chu Xiong's concubine, he knew that he was not worthy to be the prince of Wei, since he abandoned his mother country and came to Qi The country, only for the glimpse of the past, naturally also understands that because of the glimpse, he cut off his own wings and became a bird raised in Chu Xiongjie's harem.

But he didn't know that Chu Xiongjie wanted him to ask, Zhuo Yu became more and more obedient, Chu Xiongjie became more and more disgusted, the soft and obedient Yazi in his arms was no different from a woman, compared to the one who carried the peace on Wei's frontier Wang Keyu, he is not even as good as gravel.

Forget it, this kind of spineless thing is not worth my troubles for him, Chu Xiongjie thought about it for a second, his cowardly appearance as an Israeli servant, I am afraid that if you tell him about the chaos in the royal court of Wei, he will not It's just crying, it's not interesting, it's so boring, so just keep him as a pleasing bird.

The days in the harem are long and slow, one year seems to have passed for Zhuo Yu, but everything around him seems to have not changed.But a few days ago during the general election, there were a few more sisters in the palace. On the day they entered the palace, Zhuo Yu also went. He sat behind the precious man, silently watching the young and beautiful women in the hall, until Everyone left, but Zhuo Yu was still sitting there, silently, thinking about something.

After being the only pet who just entered the palace, Chu Xiongjie seemed to be used to the existence of the harem. He didn't enter the harem many times, but he gradually began to favor others.

Standing in the porch, Zhuo Yu heard the sound of sedan chairs passing by outside the wall, and felt extremely ear-piercing.

Not long after the new couple entered the palace, they heard that someone was pregnant with a dragon fetus. The news came from Xiao Qingzi. Zhuo Yu was a little dazed when he suddenly heard such news. , if... If there is a child who looks like him and Chu Xiongjie in his stomach, how wonderful it would be.

In this way... Is there some hope in this lonely day?It turned out that the person who thought of himself as a child a year ago was now looking forward to having a child of his own. Zhuo Yu's mouth had a smile of expectation, and a look of nostalgia slowly climbed up in his eyes. He thought, back then he Did his father give birth to him with such a mood?Could it be that he was already expected before he was in Daddy's womb?

He was envious of Yan Guiren who had Chu Xiongjie's child... No, Yan Guiren was pregnant with a dragon fetus, and now she has already been promoted to Yan Concubine.

Yan Pin's child was not kept after all.

How could Chu Xiongjie keep his first child?There is no one child left in this harem.

But Zhuoyu didn't expect that this pot of dirty water would be splashed on his head, and the last box of pastries Yan Pin ate before she had a miscarriage was sent from Changning Xuan.

Before Concubine Yan woke up from her miscarriage, Concubine Li rushed into the Changning Pavilion with someone to question her teacher. Zhuo Yu was sitting on the swing under the porch. With a slap, her long nails scratched Zhuo Yu's fair and tender face.

Zhuo Yu felt the humiliation, as soon as he pushed Concubine Li away, he wanted to slap her with his backhand. Since he was young, except for his father and his father, when had he ever been wronged like this, but the raised hand was seeing Chu Xiongjie, who was following behind Concubine Li, slowly fell down, Zhuo Yu covered his face, and looked straight at Chu Xiongjie.

Zhuo Yu said, "She hit me."

With a cold face, Chu Xiongjie said slowly, word by word, "Your Majesty Wei has bad intentions. He sent Luozi cake to Concubine Yan, so that the fetus in her belly would not be safe. He was sent to the Punishment Department, received twenty slaps, and buckled One year's silver, the eunuch, Xiao Qingzi, will die with a stick, and from now on, all expenses of Changning Xuan will be halved."

Zhuo Yu froze in place.

He sent Xiaoqingzi to deliver cakes to Concubine Yan, but they were just ordinary sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, and there was nothing on them that could make people fall pregnant. He was framed, but before he could complain, Xiaoqingzi Has been pulled away with his mouth covered.

For more than a year, in the huge imperial palace, only Xiao Qingzi, a somewhat naive and clumsy eunuch, was thinking about herself everywhere. Zhuo Yu couldn't care less about calling for her own grievances, and stopped in front of Xiao Qingzi: "I asked Xiao Qingzi to send me to you." I had a pastry, but there was absolutely no drug on it, I was wronged."

"The evidence is convincing, what are you calling injustice!" Seeing Zhuo Yu's struggling appearance, Concubine Li sneered calmly, her eyeballs moved, and then Wang Jin came out of the small kitchen of Changning Pavilion, holding a He knelt on the ground and raised the box above his head: "Return to the emperor, Madam Li, the medicine was given by the nobleman Wei, and the slave can be the master. The nobleman sprinkled it on the pastry, the emperor can send someone to check in the small kitchen, there is still the medicinal powder scattered by nobleman Wei on the ground."

"Wang Jin! You're talking nonsense!" Xiao Qingzi's eyes widened in disbelief, and he struggled to speak loudly: "Master doesn't have these medicinal powders at all! They haven't even sprinkled them! That box of pastries was sent by the Imperial Dining Room and Master directly Send the servants to the Mo Cui Pavilion, and no one has ever opened it along the way! Your Majesty, Mingcha... woo woo woo..." Xiao Qingzi was covered again.

"Shut up, do you have something to say?" Li Pin shouted sharply.

... A group of people were making noise in Changningxuan's courtyard, only Zhuo Yu and Chu Xiongjie stood opposite each other, silent.

Zhuo Yu hadn't seen Chu Xiongjie for two months, he didn't like to come to the harem, and he came less often after he became a newcomer. From the beginning, Zhuo Yu often sent people to invite him, but he still seldom saw him. Goodbye, he was about to be slapped.

"Your Majesty," Zhuo Yu said, the chattering people around him stopped and listened to him: "I said I didn't do it, do you believe me?"

"The evidence is convincing." Chu Xiongjie said calmly, with no emotion on his face: "If you are an eunuch with a stick, twenty slaps are already a favor from the widow."

Zhuo Yu's hands under his long-sleeved shirt were clenched into fists, he pursed his lips, and knelt down on the ground with a plop: "Your Majesty, my concubine has never asked the Emperor for anything when I entered the palace. Today I beg the Emperor, please forgive me." Xiaoqingzi dies."

Chu Xiongjie heard the sound of knees knocking on the ground, but he didn't even raise his eyelids: "In the palace, there are rules in the palace." After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave.

When he turned around, he heard the exclamation of the people behind him.

Chu Xiongjie turned his head.

Zhuo Yu stood there, holding in his hand the long knife snatched from the hand of the guard next to him. The knife had been pulled out from Wang Jin's body, and it was dripping blood. In the afternoon at the end of summer, some The majestic wind blew past, blowing his long black hair hanging behind him. Zhuo Yu was wearing an indistinguishable azure gown, holding a knife in one hand, the side of his face was slightly swollen, and there was a line of dried blood on it.

His thick and slender eyelashes drooped slightly, his eyes fell lightly on the bloody gash on the corpse lying on the ground, and he said slowly: "I will admit what I have done before, and I will never admit to what I have never done. , a servant who eats inside and outside, dares to climb on top of me."

Concubine Li and all the concubines were scared to death by Zhuo Yu, and pointed at him tremblingly: "You...how dare you kill?! Do you know that murdering the imperial court is a serious crime that implicates the nine clans!"

"Nine Clans?" Zhuo Yu raised his head and smiled slightly: "You are wrong, this is all I have left now, anyway, it is meaningless to live in such a humiliating way."

That smile seems to make the world pale.

Chu Xiongjie remembered that shallow smile, his heart felt as if someone had scratched it with a feather, and it was slightly itchy, he thought, this person still has a bit of backbone and such decisive courage.

It was only later that Chu Xiongjie realized that the person who was willing to stand in his harem hoping for his return was as resolute and ruthless as him.
