Gu Yue

On the way to the palace, she really didn't want to go to the Queen Mother's bedroom. Apart from assigning some tasks and saying some illogical words, she really couldn't think of what else to say to her.

When entering the Queen Mother's bedroom, she was only allowed to sit there.Someone brought some pastries and drinks, and she followed orders as usual, so she didn't eat or drink.She vaguely felt that the queen mother was different this time, and her eyes signaled her to eat, as if she wanted to tell her a story.

really!The Empress Dowager told her a story she had never heard before like an old man in the country... The more time passed, the more she felt that this story was very familiar, as if she had experienced it and heard someone told it——

Only some words, she remembered really.

……

'No matter what you do, you can only know it from your heart.If you talk about everything, you can argue with reason'

The two talked for a long time, and they didn't even know it after walking the long corridor.When I looked back in a blink of an eye, I saw that I didn't know which empress's door I had reached.Perhaps she was staying at the gate of someone's palace, and a servant girl came from inside, "Princess, our mother is here to invite you." Chu Xiaoxi and Ling'er looked at each other, and then followed the servant girl into this lady's palace.

After lifting his foot in, he walked around in a circle, and the word "simple" stayed in his heart.Not too much attire, not even a few maids and mothers, the strange one is the tree in the courtyard, Chu Xiaoxi always thinks she has seen it somewhere! !

The quietness and desolation here is like a cold palace——

Wait and see a few more times, it seems that there is so much warmth in it, this warmth should be bestowed by the owner here.

The maidservants walking in front walked swiftly, wild chrysanthemums of all colors were planted in every field they passed.

The moment I lifted my foot to enter the door, the furnishings in the room were simple yet elegant.Chu Xiaoxi has also been to many empresses' bedrooms, but this is the first time she has seen her like this.

There are only a few orchids placed in the vase, and some books are placed on the shelf, the rest is nothing special.

After entering the room completely, Chu Xiaoxi saw a woman leaning against the bed wearing a linen and covering the bed sheet.Seeing them coming over, she signaled to sit down, and she glanced at the maid, "This is Qing Concubine!" Concubine Qing?If she remembers correctly, it should belong to the Third Prince...

The woman leaning on the bed sat upright at this time, and chuckled lightly, "Now she is no longer a Qing concubine, she is just a criminal woman." She said it lightly, as if the person in her mouth was not herself.

Since Ling'er came in, she had never looked at this lady directly, and she was surprisingly calm even holding her breath.

...sinful woman?She thought of the story the Empress Dowager told her, "My Lady~" Chu Xiaoxi only felt sorry, she shouldn't have gotten involved in this matter.

Concubine Qing herself didn't think there was anything wrong, she smiled at the two of them, "You don't have to make such an expression, anyway, you don't have much time to stay—" Such a calm and calm situation made her panic, "What do you mean... ?” Hearing that there are still people who are concerned about her asking these questions, she is willing to say more, “It’s normal for people like us to have poison in their bodies. What do you think, Shuang’er~”

She heard the poison in her heart, but the sound of "Shuang'er" really made her look at the person sitting beside her, and the worry had already gone from her heart to her eyes.Concubine Qing looked at her like this, "You don't have to worry so much, her poison is not that serious now. It's just that if you don't complete the task within the deadline, and don't get part of the antidote, the drug will take effect..."

Before he finished speaking, "Yes, there is no one-time detoxification medicine, won't it cause seizures?" Chu Xiaoxi's words, for the first time, felt the thought that caring will lead to chaos. "Xi'er~" Concubine Qing's voice gave her the slightest sense of sobriety. Since she was poisoned and wanted to let people do things, how could she fully understand it? !

"You go on, I, I won't talk..." She tried her best to control herself from talking, and stared at Er Lingshuang with pity.I saw that the other party smiled at her very gently, but she only felt distressed.Concubine Qing didn't continue what she said just now, "If you want to fully understand, there is no way out." Chu Xiaoxi originally wanted to speak, but then she thought that the other party would say it.Seeing the other party pause for a while, looking at the two of them, they said, "Complete the assigned task, and the antidote will naturally be given. Or..." After finishing this sentence, Concubine Qing paused for a long time, Chu Xiaoxi was still waiting for the next sentence, only listening to Ling'er Said next to him, "Either accept all the punishments, and then abolish all martial arts and become an ordinary person, it has nothing to do with it from now on!"

It's okay to abolish martial arts, the big deal is that she will protect... and be punished in the future? !What kind of punishment~ "Then complete the task!" Her opening elicited the laughter of the imperial concubine Qing, "The task is not so easy to complete, do you really think that people in the palace have no brains?"

Concubine Qing talked about a lot of things, it turned out that Lianchentang was the place where Ling'er had been since she was a child, although there were many lotus flowers planted there just like the name, it was also an idea of ​​avoiding the world.But what they did was to enter the world of mortals, and it really didn't fit the name.

She was one of the first batch to enter the palace, killing people and then pretending to be weak, to win the sympathy of other empresses and make the emperor take pity on her.He had a close relationship with the third prince's biological mother, and later indirectly killed his biological mother, and then raised him by his side.Pretending to be harmless to humans and animals, spreading rumors everywhere made this prince, who was not very favored at first, become so deserted now.And the one who cooperates with her inside and out is none other than the current empress, the owner of Qingfangfang.

The third prince was really kind to her.Besides, she herself felt tired and tired after being a killer for so many years.She didn't want to do such a thing again, and she didn't want to live such a story again.So she asked the queen to report, all she wanted was death.

"Do you know what the Queen Mother told me at that time?" After Qing Concubine said this, she suddenly asked such a sentence. Chu Xiaoxi was fascinated by what she heard, and subconsciously asked, "What?" "She said, what did you do before?" The matter is unavoidable, and now I don’t want to be found out by my conscience, I would rather repent than die!" The Queen Mother’s words seemed to have been experienced, and it seemed to be distressed.

"So it's the queen mother who begged for mercy." Chu Xiaoxi became more certain of this answer. "It was the queen mother who pleaded, but I was already dead in their eyes. So I dismissed all the servants, leaving only a few old people who believed."

After speaking, she got up from the bed, picked up the clothes hanging on the rack and put them on, walked out of the door, squatted down and looked at the wild chrysanthemums that were already in bloom.Ling'er and Chu Xiaoxi had no choice but to follow behind, and when they saw each other, they got up and snuggled up at the door. "Do you think why I adopted the third prince among so many princes?"

One of them stood inside and the other outside. They didn't speak, but just glanced at each other. "He is the one most like the emperor among the princes, but the emperor doesn't like himself like this." Chu Xiaoxi was a little confused at this moment, "Since he doesn't like him, why choose him and hurt his mother and concubine?"

Concubine Qing glanced at Chu Xiaoxi who was outside, she didn't know whether to say she was naive or really thought too little~

"The more you don't like it, the more you like to be suppressed. And the person who is suppressed wants to prove himself more. Although he doesn't know why he is disliked." Chu Xiaoxi seemed to understand such a sentence.Only to hear the other party say again, "To be honest, the emperor still doesn't like Ming'er very much, but there is no doubt that among the many princes nowadays, he is the most worthy of the emperor's expectation."

"So the empress started to suppress?" Although there was nothing wrong with Chu Xiaoxi's opening, it was not so specific for Concubine Yu Qing, "The empress is very clear about who her motives are, so..."

At this time, Chu Xiaoxi seemed to understand, "So she started a long time ago, but she was not very successful." Ling'er only listened to them talking, and didn't say a word.

Seeing that she understood, Concubine Qing nodded. "Shuang'er, come here~" She came over after hearing the voice, "This is part of the antidote I got last time, remember to take it if you have a temporary attack." Yan Lingshuang didn't want to accept it, the two struggled for a long time, She obediently accepted the last look.

"They are all people who are going to die, it doesn't matter if you take this antidote or not." After speaking, Concubine Qing stared at the chrysanthemum in a daze.

"..."

"Speak up if you have something to say"

"Young lady, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Can you help me?... I haven't seen Ming'er for a long time~" I don't know if I can see the last side after I die.

Hearing her wish, Chu Xiaoxi didn't know what to do at the moment, "I...I will definitely let him come to see you." I don't know where she got the ability to agree to this matter!

Apparently Concubine Qing had no hope for this matter, and she simply smiled at the corner of her mouth, as if she was laughing at the child's innocence.After laughing, I coughed a few times.The servant girl brought another piece of clothing from the back room and put it on her body, "Our lady is going to rest now, please go back." After speaking, she helped Concubine Qing into the room.

Concubine Qing had already entered the room, and turned around, "Don't forget, cough~ you agreed." Seeing that Chu Xiaoxi entered the room after nodding, the two of them could clearly hear the person inside spit out a big mouthful from outside the door Blood.

At this moment, Chu Xiaoxi grabbed Ling'er and ran out, "Are you going to find the prince?" She was stopped by Ling'er.Knowing that, her feet seemed to be fixed there at the moment, "Do you think he will come? Will he believe what you said?" Hearing this, she didn't know what to do, where to go, whether to follow her own "Then how will you know if you don't try?" After finishing speaking, she left Ling'er and walked straight to Daolin's side, and Ling'er had no choice but to follow behind.

On the side of Daolin, Xuanyuan Daoming is practicing swordsmanship.Hearing that someone was coming at the door, he stabbed the sword, but Chu Xiaoxi, who was running, didn't hide back, and he almost didn't take the sword back.He was very afraid of something in his heart, and was about to reprimand this reckless woman, only to see that the other party pulled him and ran out without putting down the sword.

After being dragged unconsciously to complete a section of the road, he stopped the coming person as if recovering his brain. "Where are you taking me?" Chu Xiaoxi knew that if she said so, the other party would definitely not go.

"You'll know when you go"

"If you don't tell me, I won't go." After finishing speaking, she walked back with her sword in her hand. Seeing him leave, she couldn't help opening her mouth

"... Concubine Qing's residence."

It was fine if he didn't speak, but Xuanyuan Daoming raised the sword in his hand and turned around to stab her. Seeing the momentum, Ling'er blocked it, but fortunately, the opponent didn't attack too hard.Chu Xiaoxi didn't expect that when Concubine Qing was mentioned, he would be so angry.

"Aren't you hers too!" The sword was resting on Chu Xiaoxi's shoulder, and her life would end if she touched it.But she was not afraid any more, even Ling'er was blocked by her when she wanted to come over.

"..."

"Why don't you speak?"

"..." Chu Xiaoxi hesitated for a while, "What do you want me to say. If it belongs to her, kill me. Or if it doesn't belong to her, will you believe what I say?"

Xuanyuan Daoming deeply felt that the other party had seen through him, so he put down the sword like a wandering god.Ignoring the two of them, he turned and left slowly.

She couldn't bear it in the end, "Xuanyuan Daoming! She is going to die, can't you go and see her?" The people walking in front were obviously stunned for a moment, and stopped in their tracks.Walking in front of Chu Xiaoxi, she grabbed her clothes, "What nonsense are you talking about? She took the antidote back then. Or—" He went to get it himself, and he gently put down her clothes .

"Yes, I took it, but there are other poisons on her body, do you know?" The more she talked, the more angry she became, and the more uncomfortable she felt. Standing beside her, Ling'er poked her "Xiaoxi" with her hand, She could feel the other person's touch, but she just wanted to say it. "Poison? Don't interrupt her, let her continue!"

Seeing that she couldn't stop the other party, Er Lingshuang could only look around, there seemed to be someone in the grass over there.She glanced at Chu Xiaoxi, then left the place where they were talking.

"You don't really think that no one has attacked you for so many years, do you really think who bought the stability for so many years? Yes, she is sorry for you, but she is for you and your concubine mother Enough has been done. So you won't even give her the last chance to see her?"

Seeing the other party standing there dumbfounded, she said that she had nothing more to say, "My lord, please ask yourself!" After speaking, she walked along the place where Nian Lingshuang left just now...

He stood there by himself for a long time, and asked himself, the imperial concubine Qing was really okay with him.So when the queen mother told him her identity, the woman told him the truth herself.His heart is broken, and he doesn't believe that all this is true.

In fact, why doesn't he want to take a look at it himself, as far as he is concerned, it won't do much!But when he thought about all the things in the past, he still couldn't get over that hurdle.But his footsteps have clearly chosen the answer.

"Cough~cough cough!" Concubine Qing's coughing has never stopped, and blood will come out in no time at all.She felt that her time was approaching, "It's okay, why are you crying? This day ended five years ago, at least I have survived for so many years, it's worth it."

That servant girl cried even more fiercely, wiping her tears, "Ma'am~" After finishing speaking, Concubine Qing also wiped her tears.

……

I haven't been to this place for almost five years. I never thought that the place where he has been since he was sensible has become so desolate now.Outside the door, he seemed to vaguely hear the sound of coughing. Has she really been ill all this time?Wanting to go in and take a look, he hesitated there for a long time, after all, he still...

Still didn't go in!

Not long after Nian Lingshuang caught the man, she saw Chu Xiaoxi on top of her. Originally, she thought it would take a long time to talk.

"Who is this person?"

"The queen's people."

"No matter how you think about it, it will be her." Chu Xiaoxi raised the head of that person, "Why haven't I seen it before?" Turning her head, she looked at Ling'er, "She is the queen's hermit, so you won't see her." Now Eran Lingshuang did not hide her identity anymore, Chu Xiaoxi's half-smile expression made her a little scared, "Don't look at me like that~, what should I do with this person?"

Chu Xiaoxi thought for a while, "It seems inappropriate to kill the Queen's people, why not us..." The two were discussing something together.

After Xuanyuan Daoming returned, he arranged for reliable people to go to the residence of Concubine Qing!
