Chapter 349 Is it Jiang Er's Northwest?

Concubine De took a look at the food in the bowl. In the past, the dogs in her palace would not eat this kind of food.

now……

There were sounds of firecrackers outside.

De Fei asked: "What's the noise outside?"

The palace maid said, "My Lady, today is the Lantern Festival."

Lantern Festival.

Defei's throat tightened.

It turns out it’s already the Lantern Festival.

At this time last year, she should have been more ruthless and killed Xiaojiu to let the emperor know what it feels like to lose a loved one.

"Boom boom boom."

Someone was knocking on the door outside. The palace maid tiptoed out and saw someone standing at the door.

"Why are you here?"

"I'll bring you some food."

This man was called Xiao Lianzi, an inconspicuous eunuch in the Imperial Household Department. He had received favors from Concubine De in the past. After Concubine De fell into trouble, everyone left her. Everyone in the palace flattered the powerful and bullied the weak. Only he still remembered Concubine De's kindness and came to help from time to time.

Xiao Lianzi handed the thing in. Concubine De took a look at it and was very disgusted.

It was a steamed bun, and no one knew what kind of meat was inside it. It was delivered by a eunuch.

She instinctively disliked eunuchs from the bottom of her heart, thinking that everything they touched was disgusting, so how could she eat it?

She didn't eat, saying she had no appetite.

Her maid Siyu sighed helplessly and didn't know how to convince her, so she could only squat in the corner and eat by herself.

There were only two of them in the palace, and it was quiet all around. When night came, they didn't have enough lamp oil, so they could only sit in the dark. The loneliness, solitude, fear, and terror all came to their mind.

Concubine De seemed to always see her parents, brother, and the wronged spirits of the Jiang family staring at her in the darkness.

Question her, resent her, and ask her why she pushed the family into despair.

Everyone is dead, why is she the only one who is still alive and well?

Yes, that's right...

It's all her, it's all because of her.

Concubine De didn't want to think about it, as if if she didn't think about it, the thing would no longer exist.

But she knew it was all because of her.

Her mother once advised her, but she didn't listen.

People always try to find a glimmer of hope when they are in desperate situations.

The same goes for Concubine De.

Guilt and regret, these emotions would drive her crazy, and she had to find an outlet, a person to resent, and put all the blame on this person.

This way, she will feel better.

It wouldn't be so painful.

"It's that bitch, it's all that bitch."

Siyu had just finished eating the buns when she heard these words.

She looked towards Concubine De, and saw only resentment and unwillingness in her eyes.

Siyu frowned. Who was the bitch that Concubine De was talking about?

It can't be the emperor.

This is how the harem is. No matter how miserable everyone is, how fiercely they fight, whether they are finally banished to the cold palace or their entire clan is exterminated, the person they resent will not be the emperor. Even if the emperor did it, it must be someone who seduced and deceived the emperor and made him do it.

To put it bluntly, it is human nature to bully the weak and fear the strong.

so……

"I should have killed her last year on the Lantern Festival. She must have been holding a grudge and said bad things about me, which made the emperor dissatisfied with me and so heartless to me."

As soon as Concubine De mentioned the Lantern Festival, Siyu knew who it was.

The palace maid named Xiaojiu beside the emperor.

"Empress, what does this have to do with her?" Si Yu didn't quite understand. She was just a palace maid. How could she influence the emperor's decision?

Besides, it was the Jiang family who rebelled, and it was Concubine De who cheated on the emperor...

Concubine De was completely immersed in her own world. She looked at Siyu.

"Si Yu, think about it carefully. Although the emperor didn't come to the harem before, he was still very good to me. But since that bitch appeared, since the Lantern Festival, the emperor's attitude towards me has become cold."

Siyu didn't remember, she felt that the emperor had always been polite to Concubine De, just like he was treating a subordinate.

No emotion.

But after Defei said so, she thought about it seriously and it seemed to be true.

"Even if it's her, there's nothing we can do."

"There is a way, there is a way." De Fei's eyes sparkled: "I can't swallow this breath, I will drag her down even if I die."

Hahaha.

Concubine De laughed.

Siyu looked at it and felt scared.

"My lady,"

She wanted to say, stop struggling, she couldn't afford it, being alive now was a special favor from the emperor

If you continue to do stupid things, you will really die.

But Concubine De obviously didn't hear a word she said.

On the Lantern Festival, the emperor took An Jiu out to play.

It was very lively outside the palace.

No matter what major events happened in the court, it had nothing to do with ordinary people. Even if the emperor changed, they didn't care much.

Kebab shop.

Guo Xiao and Li San each took a skewer and ate it.

Young Master Guo sighed, "I don't know how Jiang Er is doing. I heard that the northwest is bitterly cold in winter."

Although they have different ideas, those are adults' affairs. Guo Xiao thinks that Jiang Er is still a good person. Besides, Jiang Er may not know anything about the Jiang family's affairs, so he suffered this unexpected disaster in vain.

Young Master Guo sighed again.

Li San also felt emotional.

But there's nothing I can do.

The Jiang family is too arrogant.

They are veterans of three dynasties and think they are extremely powerful and do not know how to restrain themselves. The emperor gave them a chance. If it were not for the palace banquet where they united to assassinate the emperor, the emperor might really let them go.

But when it comes to interests, no one wants to give up their own interests.

Under the circumstances at that time, there was bound to be a "battle" between the emperor and the aristocratic families.

"I hope Jiang Er can pull through." Young Master Guo sighed.

"Don't worry, Jiang Er and his team have already reached the northwest safely."

"That's good..." Guo Xiao added, and then paused. The voice didn't seem to be Li San's. He looked up and saw someone sitting in the empty seat next to him, looking at him with a smile.

Li San was also like seeing a ghost, and the mutton in his mouth fell onto the table.

"Emperor..." Guo Xiao was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.

The emperor made a gesture to silence him.

Guo Xiao's skin all over his body became tight.

Li San was more tactful, but he didn't know what to say when he met the emperor who wanted to share the table with them while eating kebabs at the kebab shop.

The teacher didn’t teach me.

It’s not written in the book.

Then Li San suddenly had a brainwave and took a skewer of mutton and asked, "Your Majesty, would you like some?"

The emperor looked at him as if he were an idiot, took it and started eating.

When An Jiu came back, he found that Li San and Guo Xiao were both on pins and needles, with a thorn in their backs and a fishbone stuck in their throats...

Young Master Guo’s head was almost dropping to the table.

The emperor looked at them with a satisfied expression.

"Do you like this restaurant?"

Guo Xiao said nothing.

Li San replied: "Yes, the mutton in this restaurant is from the northwest, and it doesn't smell bad."

The emperor glanced at Guo Xiao and almost laughed to death in his heart, but his face remained serious.

"Is it the northwest where Jiang Er was exiled?"

Guo Xiao: "..."

It’s over, it’s over. He actually cares about the son of a criminal. What if the emperor thinks he also wants to follow the Jiang family’s old path?

What bad luck.

If I had known this, I wouldn’t have come out to eat this. Wouldn’t it have made him so greedy that he died?

Li San realized that the emperor was not angry, but was teasing them.
