Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

Don't you want me to come?

When I heard this sentence, Han Zitong was stiffened.

The flickering candlelight shone on her pale face and in those complex eyes, as if countless emotions flashed at this moment.

Startled, frightened, dazed, helpless ...

I could even feel her breathing and heartbeat becoming heavy.

"Don't you want me to come?"

I repeat it again.

I don't know if it was because the fist was squeezed too tightly, and the swollen blisters were squeezed. The tingling in the palm came from time to time, but I squeezed my fist tighter, and the tingling made me more sober.

No matter how sad others are, how sad they are, no matter what has happened that night, and what will happen, I must recognize the road in front of me, and I also have to be firm on the road ahead and go on well!

It seemed to have been struck by the sober, almost sober look in my eyes, and Han Zitong's eyes slightly recovered.

She said, "You, know I want to let you go?"

I smiled slightly: "Sooner or later I want to get out of this position."

"..."

"Instead of making people tear their faces in the future, no one's face will look good, and it will also make him embarrassed. I might as well be a good friend and give this position to you-give it to your sister."

"..."

"Perhaps this is meritorious."

Han Zitong looked at the candlelight, and his expression seemed a bit uncertain. I seemed to have something to say, but when I stopped talking a few times, it seemed that I didn't know how to ask, and at this time, the noisy voice outside It ’s getting louder and louder. I have no doubt that after the ceremony and the bride and groom have met with the guests, Pei Yuanxiu will return to the inner courtyard immediately because he said that he will go to the inner courtyard to accompany me tonight if he arrives in the inner courtyard. Courtyard, how would you feel in the face of the empty room?

If he catches up here, will I still have a chance to leave?

I dare not think about it.

So I took a deep breath and said, "I've come here, and I've made a decision."

"..."

"I want to leave!"

"..."

Han Zitong stood at the door with her lower lip biting. She seemed a little hesitant, but after hesitating again and again, she looked at me without hesitation and finally made up her mind and said, "Okay."

"..."

"I'm ready too, you follow me."

After hearing what she said, I was relieved.

In fact, since she went to the inner court that day, after I said those things to her, I can almost predict what it is today. I also know that in order to let her sister sit on Pei Yuan to correct his wife's position, she will definitely try to let me give up. This position, sending me away, is indeed the easiest and most direct way.

Seeing that she came over, walked by my side, went all the way to the other side of the room, and tapped a closed window on the other side lightly. After a while, there were three soft knocks outside. The sound of the edge of the window.

It was she who prepared the response!

With a joy in my heart, I hurried over.

But as soon as I turned around and was about to walk past, there was a low voice with a strange tone behind me--

"lady?"

My footsteps stalled, I stopped and looked back.

Cai Wei was holding the glazed lamp that kept shaking, still standing at the door, looking at me with a complex expression.

I looked at her too.

"Ma'am, are you still leaving?"

"Correct."

"Mrs. doesn't mean that people are taking advantage of advantages and avoiding harm. Isn't the wife afraid of being arrested by the son again?"

Upon hearing this, Han Zitong had felt wrong. She frowned and was about to come, but I said calmly: "Of course I'm afraid."

"that--"

"But even if I am afraid, I can't help but do something." Although I said so, I didn't immediately move to Han Zitong's side, but slowly turned my steps and turned to face her.

The lantern in her hand shook much more than it was just outside, when it was being blown by the wind, because her hand shook constantly.

I certainly know what this moment means to her. After all, she was beaten so badly in the courtyard at the same place, which is what Pei Yuanxiu wants her to remember deeply, to let her She didn't dare let me go, and it made her never dare to think about the "outstanding person" she shouldn't think about.

People tend to avoid profits.

"Mrs. said at that time that if slaves were also afraid of pain and gave up the idea of ​​going ahead, then maybe the wife would also give up the thought of leaving."

I squinted slightly, "Are you giving up?"

"..."

Han Zitong, who had been standing by the window, had a startled expression on her face. Although my conversation with Cai Wei was a bit endless, when she said that, she had clearly understood it, and her face suddenly sank. See As Cai Wei stepped back a little bit, her expression on her face became more and more afraid, as if she had returned to that day, when she was being punished outside the door, that painful and harsh moment.

When she spoke again, her voice was shattered and shivered: "Madam, I'm sorry."

"...!"

"I, I really didn't mean it, and I didn't mean to give up."

"..."

"But I'm afraid ..."

"..."

"I can't stand it a second time, my son said, if I help you escape again, I don't want to live."

"..."

"Ma'am, sorry, I--"

Seeing her trembling more and more, she slowly backed away, Han Zitong was suddenly anxious, and hurriedly came over: "You--"

Her words hadn't come out yet. The fear in Cai Wei's eyes had overwhelmed everything. She turned sharply and shouted to the outside.

Just outside the courtyard, there were the guards who brought us here. If she yelled, those people would rush in immediately, and then everything would be the same as before.

A shortfall of success!

However, just when she opened her mouth and was about to make a noise, she only heard a dry cry in her throat, hissing like the sound of gravel rubbing.

At this moment, she was stunned, suddenly reached out and covered her throat, and yelled hard, coughing, but no matter how tossing her, she could not say anything except the dry cry.

I looked coldly at her anxious look, how familiar this scene was.

How heartbreaking?

I slowly said, "Don't try it, dumb."

"...!"

She opened her eyes in horror and turned to look at me, not only her, but Han Zitong next to her, stunned, and looked at me indifferently, as if looking at a ghost. Cai Wei's eyes flashed twice, and she was about to turn to open the door immediately, but just as she walked by and her hand was touching the door, I immediately said, "If you don't want to be dumb all your life, it's better not to go out people."

"..."

Her hand stiffened again.

The whole person seemed to be nailed to the door, a lost puppet's body, and even her eyes became cold for a moment, turning her head back to look at me, full of panic and fear, It's like I can't believe what's happening right now.

"You're young and so smart," I slowly walked over to her, reached out to take over the glazed lamp that was shaking at all times, and closed the lid with a snap. "Isn't it a pity if you are dumb all your life?"

The candlelight inside the glazed lamp struggled a few times and eventually went out.

And Cai Wei also looked like the extinguished candlelight, and suddenly fell to the ground knees softly.

Han Zitong walked to me a few steps, looked at her, and looked at me again. After a while, she asked, "What's going on? How could she--"

I said lightly: "I just used a little medicine."

"What medicine?"

"Some spices can make people feel weak, but also mangosteen, belladonna, and musk. When they are lit, they will make people's throats dumb."

That is, those drugs I used in the palace to deal with Liu Ningyan.

Han Zitong also trembled. Her eyes fell on the glazed lamp that had been extinguished in my hand. Cai Wei still held her throat in one hand and looked at the glazed lamp, her face turned pale.

Han Zitong's cold sweats came out, and some looked at me in disbelief: "You, you already suspected that she would betray you, so you got those things in this?"

"..."

This time, I didn't speak, but just looked at Cai Wei, who was trembling, and my eyes trembled slightly.

After a while, I said, "I just don't want anyone to betray me."

"..."

When she heard me, her face turned red all of a sudden, like she was slapped hard.

Watching her tremble like a little beast trapped in a trap of traps, frightened and helpless, there seemed to be some unexplainable emotions in her eyes. After a long silence, Then went on to say: "In fact, I was also jealous of you first. I have no mercy on you, and you don't have to blame yourself."

"..."

"If you are not betraying me today, then it is me who blame."

"..."

"I'm just taking precautions."

"..."

"Now, Miss Zitong and I will leave. After I leave here, I will let her bring the antidote back. At that time, I have to go and stay—" I glanced at Han Zitong and said gently: " I hope you can do it conveniently. "

Han Zitong was clearly shocked by what was happening in front of him. When he heard me say that, he nodded subconsciously.

I ticked the corner of my lip, and then said to Cai Wei, "If you go to ventilate the letter, even if you try it, you won't get the medicine. You can think of a lifetime, you can imagine now . "

"..."

"If you want to be dumb for life, you can go out and call someone now."

"..."

Her face was pale, and she looked at me in horror, her eyes full of tears.

I stood up and left with Han Zitong, but just after taking a step, I stopped again, looked back at her helplessly, and said gently: "Actually, you are a good girl and have that idea , And there is nothing wrong, just-you should have greater courage, stronger perseverance to support your ideas. "

"..."

"In this world, it's too hard for a woman to want to be in the lead."

"..."

She looked up at me, wondering, her lips trembling, as if asking me—why?

why?

because--

"Because all the rules that restrict women in this world are made by men, they have formulated such rules to restrict women, but this is not the hardest reason to get ahead, the hardest is because there are more women. Help men use these rules to limit women who want to get ahead ... "

"..."

"If you really want to get ahead, you have a lot of enemies."

When she heard my last sentence, a light flashed in her eyes.

After I said this, I didn't stop anymore. I turned around and walked to the window. Han Zitong opened the window and saw a few silhouettes flickering in the dark night outside. It seemed that he was already waiting there.

I could feel that Cai Wei behind me was watching me all the time, but I didn't look back, stepped on a stool, and quickly turned out.

There are many people in this world. They have different lives and will take different paths. Everyone ’s path is filled with hostility, and there are many gentle and kind concerns. There are two possibilities, one is stronger and the other is weaker. The way the little girl will go in the future is her choice.

After leaving the room, I saw a few people standing in front, and said carefully, "Miss."

Han Zitong asked in a low voice, "Are you ready?"

"Someone is waiting at the back door. Just wait for the lady and wife to pass."

"Okay, let's go."

I didn't say much, so I followed them.

I have never thoroughly understood the home of the sisters of the Han family, nor do I know that there is a back door here, but the road is very hidden. Perhaps it is because no one usually walks at all. This inaccessible road is covered.

As we walked all the way, it was only by the people who led the way in front of us that we kept pushing the leaves on both sides to make progress.

I couldn't help asking: "This is--"

"This is a path in the former palace of Jiangxia," Han Zitong whispered, "After the two sides merge, this place is deserted."

"Oh……"

I nodded and moved on.

Although I didn't speak, the next Han Zitong seemed to have something to say. She looked at me several times, and then stopped talking a few times, and finally finally seemed to be unable to hold back, whispering: " That girl was dumbfounded by you, do you really have an antidote? "

I didn't look back: "No."

"what?!"

"No antidote."

"No ... antidote? What do you mean? Didn't you just say--"

"I just want to stop her. After all, a young girl, no one wants to live a silent life," I stretched out my hand to poke off a branch of the tree that fell down, and said calmly, "I used to have those medicines. It was very light, and it was only when she lit the lantern that she suffered a little medicine. It was only temporarily mutated, and she would recover after a few days of rest. "

"..."

"If the medicinal properties really get worse, we have been standing by her, and something happened long ago."

"..."

This time to pick Cai Wei, is not the same as giving Liu Ningyan medicine, and I have no intention of actually hurting this girl.

I just want to leave.

Han Zitong turned to look at me, and the almost fearful expression in his eyes was clear. As if looking at some monster, I could feel her breathing became quicker.

After a few moments of silence, seeing that the front was about to end, she suddenly said, "Where did you get those musk?"

"..."

My footsteps have stalled.

She continued, "Musk."

"..."

"Yuan Xiu always pays attention to this. He always hopes that you can give birth to a son for him, and the agreement between him and his sister was that he would not get married until you gave birth to his first child. Heard of musk It can make a woman infertile. In the past six months, the government will not use this kind of thing easily. Where did you get it? "

"..."

"Say it!"

Her question was not aggressive, and at this time it was not at all when she could be aggressive, but for some reason, it seemed to me that someone was really asking me this question.

For a while, my footwork also became heavy.

The ears of the open road people have come to their ears, and under the shadow of the leaves, they can also see the towering fence in front of them, and a small black-painted door, it is time to leave.

I was silent for a while and said, "Removed from my pillow and quilt."

"what?!"

Han Zitong was frightened and looked at me in disbelief.

"From-pillows, and quilts ?!"

I glanced at her and didn't talk anymore, but kept moving forward.

Han Zitong, however, seemed to have a few buns. He took a few steps and grabbed my wrist and pulled me to her side. Her eyes were a little red: "You have musk in your pillow and quilt ?!"

I looked at her lightly: "... Yes."

"When did it start?"

"When returning from the sea."

"Coming back from the sea—— ?!" She stared at me with wide eyes, choking her breath, and after a while, finally seemed to understand something, and said, "Because I told you on that island , His agreement with his sister is to wait for you to give birth to his son, and he will marry my sister, so when you come back, you sew musk in the pillow and quilt ?! "

"..."

"You don't want to give him a son ?!"

"..."

"You don't want my sister to marry him ?!"

Listening to her voice grew louder and more uncontrollable. Even the servants who escorted us from the surroundings were scared. I didn't dare to move around. I lowered my eyes for a while and then slowly. He slowly raised his head to look at her and said, "It turns out that I just did a little work."

"..."

"Today, I did not give birth to his son, but it is still a day of great joy for them."

"..."

"They're married, does it make sense to pursue this now?"

Han Zitong looked at me, his eyes flickered again.

Even she knew that at this time, it would be meaningless to investigate whether I would give birth to his child. There are some things that have come to this point, so how did it come, and no one would care about it anymore. .

She bit her lower lip, turned her head slowly, and continued to move forward.

This time, without taking a few steps, we finally came to the end of the path. The attendants opened the branches and leaves entangled above us, and a small black-painted door was near.

Out of this door, I can leave Jinling House!

Thinking of this, my breathing was rapid, and the subconscious stepped forward, reaching out to push the door.

Han Zitong stood behind me, motionless and complex.

Just after my hand reached the door, Han Zitong behind him suddenly said, "Have you ever loved him?"

The blister in the palm was pierced by a rough wooden thorn on the door panel, and a sudden pain came.

My hands trembled.

However, I did not look back, I just felt that she was standing behind me and looked at me heavily: "Have you ever loved him?"

Have I ever loved him?

this problem--

Why is anyone still asking me at this time?

I ’m leaving, and when I ’m leaving, I still have to ask, have you ever loved him?

This question I have asked myself thousands of times myself, this question I ca n’t think of without answering my head, why is there anyone here to ask?

My hand trembled slightly, and with a subconscious force, the wooden stab on the door plunged into my palm.

The pain pierced my heart straight from the palm of my hand.

I lowered my head and said dumbly, "Does it still make sense to ask this question, does it make sense?"

Han Zitong stepped forward and walked behind me: "I just want to know."

"..."

"Have you ever loved him?"

"..."

My fingers slowly gathered around the door, and those rough wooden thorns scratched my palm little by little, and my fingertips scratched my skin with a few scars. In the end, my hand became a fist. , Squeeze it tightly.

"You want to know, have I ever loved him?"

"Ok."

I looked back and smiled slightly at her: "But I don't even know it myself."

She froze and stared at me with wide eyes.

"I don't even know it myself."

"..."

After saying this, I turned my head again, and without hesitation reached out and opened the door in front of me.

I just listened to the long, hoarse, long squeaking sound. This little door that had not been opened for many years was finally pushed open. Suddenly, a cold wind poured in from the outside, blowing across my face, Blow dry a hot current that suddenly appeared in my eyes.

However, it was the gust that blurred my eyes.

In the chaotic sight, I saw a dozen tall and burly guards standing outside in the night, and the swords in their hands were all sheathed, and the dazzling cold light shone in the night.

I suddenly froze there.

A voice said coldly, "Madam, it's heavy at night, please go back."
