As soon as you walk into the warm pavilion, a warm charcoal gas mixed with the smell of wine and incense rushes towards you, as if to make anyone who smells it drunk.The emperor Jia Yuanchun and the serving ladies were all behind the eight sandalwood landscape painting screens inlaid with gold and treasures, and they didn't notice that someone walked in silently.Bixiao's fingers holding the vermilion tray trembled so much that she could hardly hold the tray in her hand.With a slight glance, the hollowed-out and carved lotus leaf-shaped incense burner of the official kiln in the room is placed not far away, and there is no one beside it.It seems that it is a good opportunity.

Glancing towards the screen, the shadowy figure behind him was sitting and talking, the maid bent down to pour wine, and no one looked this way.Bi Xiao gently moved her feet wearing purple embroidered shoes, and slowly, step by step, she rubbed against the red lacquered high table with the incense burner on it.

Raising his arm, his fingers immediately touched the incense burner that was emitting wisps of green smoke.The maid who serves people is not allowed to keep her nails. Her fingers are clean and her nails are neatly trimmed. They are placed next to the light green lotus leaf-shaped incense burner, trembling slightly constantly.

The porcelain censer under his hand is cold and warm, and it will never make people feel uncomfortable.Then Bi Xiao felt that what was pressed under her hand was a piece of burning charcoal, which kept burning her.

After hesitating for a while, she withdrew her hand abruptly, walked forward quickly, and knelt down beside the screen.Then, she knocked her head heavily on the emerald green floor tiles, and said loudly: "Slave Bixiao, I'm here to make an apology!"

The laughter behind the screen suddenly stopped.The emperor frowned and said: "What's the matter?" It was time to mix oil with his beloved concubine, but he was disturbed by a maid who didn't know the so-called. It's my temper.

As if aware of the impatience of the emperor beside him, Jia Yuanchun smiled slightly, put his hand on the back of his hand, and comforted him.Then, she looked at Bi Xiao who was kneeling down, and asked softly: "Isn't this Bi Xiao next to Shi Ronghua? Why did you come to me to plead guilty?"

Bi Xiao didn't raise her head, instead she kowtowed vigorously again, and said, "This servant deserves to die, I dare not ask His Majesty and Jie Yi for forgiveness. But I hope that the whole body will be preserved, and my wish is enough."

"Don't keep pleading guilty, what happened, let's hear it." Jia Yuanchun saw that the emperor didn't want to speak, so he spoke instead.

This time, Bi Xiao finally raised her head.There was no trace of blood on her face, and there seemed to be tears in her eyes.Then, she explained clearly and in detail what Shi Ronghua had ordered her to do.As she spoke, the emperor's face darkened and became more and more ugly.When Bi Xiao finished speaking, the emperor slapped the table with his palm and said angrily, "What a Shi Ronghua, what a daring dog!"

"Your Majesty, don't be angry. It's not worth it for such a foolish person..." Jia Yuanchun calmed the emperor, then looked at Bi Xiao who was kneeling on the ground, and asked, "People say that the master humiliated the servant to death. It can be applied to everyone in the world, but it still makes sense. Why, do you want to act like this?"

Bi Xiao's tears finally fell, and she cried: "Although the master of this servant is Shi Ronghua, the one who should be most loyal is His Majesty. How can we watch Ronghua do stupid things that damage the body of the dragon?"

Jia Yuanchun nodded appreciatively when he heard this, and said, "You are loyal."

At this time, the emperor interrupted.There was no expression on his face, and he said lightly: "Shi Ronghua will not send you out so easily, I'm afraid, do you have something to do with you?"

Facing the emperor's calm eyes, Bi Xiao flinched and said, "Rong Hua... mentioned the servant's family..."

"Oh?" The emperor raised his brows lightly, and said, "Are you actually disregarding your own family for the sake of me?" He had a half-smile, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

Facing such an emperor, Bi Xiao dared not tell the truth: "The servant's family treats the servant very badly... It can even be said that it is a family member, but it is actually an enemy..."

When the emperor heard the words, he was not in a hurry to question Shi Ronghua.He signaled the maid to pour hot tea for him, and then asked leisurely, "How do you say that?"

Bi Xiao's eyes were in a trance, as if she had returned to that extremely cold winter. ... The young self huddled in the corner of the wall, watching her mother's body wrapped in a roll of broken mats and being dragged out casually.One of her mother's hands was exposed, blue and white and thin, with many scars, dragging on the loess ground, shaking... That hand became her last memory of her mother.Countless late nights, she woke up screaming from the nightmare.The image that remains in my eyes is the hand stained with black and red blood...

After the ragged mat was dragged out, her aunt, with her fat belly, was knocking sunflower seeds while spitting on the ground, saying: "Unlucky bastard, broom star, She should have died a long time ago! She left a loser, who will support her?"

The two half-brothers were running wildly in the yard on a broomstick, laughing and laughing: "Your/cheap/the embryo has lost its mother, the inferior/cheesy/the embryo has lost its mother..."

In the quiet and warm Nuan Pavilion, following Bixiao's silence, no one else spoke for a while.In addition to the slight crackling of the charcoal fire, there is only the faint sound of the wind outside the window.The emperor was not angry or urged, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, obviously the anger that had risen before had been suppressed.He had lost his composure before, and it is reasonable for an emperor to hide his emotions and anger.

After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Bi Xiao spoke.The flat voice hides great pain: "The mother of the servant girl is not a native of the capital. She escaped from the famine and came here when there was a flood. When she arrived at Chaizhuang, she was drunk by the servant girl in the middle of the night. My father gave it to me, and forced her to... My mother lost her innocence, so she had no choice but to become a concubine for her father. The maidservant's aunt was jealous by nature, and she was very vicious. She beat and scolded the slaveservant's mother all year round. My mother didn't have enough food and clothing, and was responsible for the housework of the whole family, so she hurt her body early. Finally, in one winter, she couldn't bear it anymore. She was obviously too sick to get out of bed, but the aunt still forced her She got up to wash clothes and quilts. Just like that, she fell beside the well and never opened her eyes again..."

Jia Yuanchun's eyes showed appropriate pity, and he asked, "Where's your father, he doesn't care about it?"

Bi Xiao shook her head and said: "Father is very afraid of Madam, besides, he doesn't care about mother's life..." In that home, the only warmth she could feel was what her mother gave her.After her mother left, that so-called home no longer meant anything to her.

"So that's the case, no wonder you want to act like this..." Jia Yuanchun sighed softly, as if he wasn't angry at all because Shi Ronghua wanted to frame him.

The emperor also noticed this, he looked at Jia Yuanchun and said, "Aren't Jieyi angry?"

Jia Yuanchun squinted at the emperor, and said with resentment and resentment: "Why are you angry? Your Majesty loves my concubines too much, so that Shi Ronghua wants to frame me? I don't have that leisure time. Your Majesty will make decisions for my concubines." ..." The coquettishness of the beauty under the lights in the night is really pleasing to the eye.

The emperor was pleased by Jia Yuanchun, he immediately laughed, embraced Jia Yuanchun and said, "Okay, I will make the decision for Jieyi." After speaking, he looked at the eunuch beside him and said, "Go, tell me His verbal instructions, the Ronghua Shi clan committed a great treason, thrown into the cold palace, and will not be pardoned for the rest of his life."

The eunuch bowed and agreed to go, and not long after, a woman's desperate scream sounded in the opposite palace: "No, Your Majesty will not be so heartless... Let me go, I want to see Your Majesty, I want to see Your Majesty ..."

Hearing this voice, Jia Yuanchun looked at the emperor beside him and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to see her?"

The emperor shook his head and said, "There is no need for that."

Jia Yuanchun lowered his eyes, picked up the luminous glass on the table, drank the rouge-colored wine from the Western Regions in one gulp, two blushes immediately appeared on his cheeks, which was unstoppable.

At this moment, the emperor looked at Bixiao who was still kneeling on the ground pleading guilty, and said, "Get up. You can be convinced that you deserve no reward or punishment like this?"

Bi Xiao stood up, looked at the emperor, her face was full of gratitude: "Your Majesty is wise, I am very grateful." In the orange-red candlelight, tears were still hanging on her petite melon-seeded face, which was very charming.A pair of almond eyes are full of gratitude and admiration. When a man sees it, he immediately has a feeling of being fully dependent and admired, which is very refreshing.Although her appearance is only five points, but her expression is moving, coupled with her slender waist, she is quite touching.

The emperor glanced at Bixiao, and his eyes seemed to be moved, but soon calmed down.He turned his head to look at Jia Yuanchun, and said, "The night is getting dark, it's time for us to settle down."

Jia Yuanchun nodded slightly with a bit of drunkenness.Seeing this, Bi Xiao immediately resigned.Walking outside the palace and standing in the porch, she saw that Shi Ronghua's palace was brightly lit, and the eunuchs and maids who came in and out looked terrified.It may take years to climb to a high position, but a moment is enough to fall from a high position.Shi Ronghua, who was in a mess, was dragged out by the guards with disheveled hair. When he saw Bi Xiao standing in the corridor, his eyes were full of hatred: "The slave who betrayed the master—" She just cursed, and her mouth was covered.Not long after, he was taken away from Hua'an Palace.

With a calm expression on Bixiao's face, she looked up at the night sky.A bit of coldness fell on her hot cheeks, and snow began to fall.
