Episode 46: God Doesn't Bless Her
When the prince entered the hall, the queen waved her hand, and all the palace maids and eunuchs, including the lady official Song, bowed their heads and left.
Yu Shengsheng sighed in her heart, thinking that God was really not on her side.
She did not spend a year in the villa for nothing, as she got to know some of the queen's likes and dislikes.
I heard that there was a very beautiful talent in the palace. She was very popular with the emperor at first, but later for some reason, she developed a skin disease and her skin became red, swollen and ulcerated.
Of course the emperor never saw her again. In order to show her generosity and virtue, the empress personally led people to collect the body of the talented woman.
From then on, the queen could not stand seeing people with red spots or rashes on their bodies.
Yu Shengsheng knew that once she ate the yellow fruit, red spots would appear on her body, she would feel stinging and hot, the whites of her eyes would turn red, and her throat would become congested and hoarse.
It is uncomfortable, but it is much better than being tortured by the queen.
I thought I could escape, but unexpectedly, the prince came.
The prince doesn't care about these things.
The prince leaned in front of Yu Shengsheng, staring at her with burning eyes.
"I heard that you were in Zhenqiao Tower, and I went to ask for you. When I thought about you being beaten by others, I felt uncomfortable."
"Yu Shengsheng, remember this, as long as I am willing, no one can protect you, including Hao Mengye."
The prince grabbed her hair and said, "Look, now you have come to the palace obediently, haven't you?"
"Xiaolan is hungry, what do you think we should do?"
Yu Shengsheng was trembling slightly, and her eyelashes were shaking. The prince was extremely happy to see her like this.
Pat her face, making a snapping sound.
"Don't worry, Xiaolan is disgusted by your appearance, and I don't want it to eat dirty blood."
The Queen sat quietly, watching, smiling, and saying nothing.
The prince turned his head and saw the tray beside him. The cold light of the needle reflected in his eyes, flashing a strange light.
He picked up one, which was thin, pointed, and trembling.
The other hand pinched Yu Shengsheng's fingers.
Yu Shengsheng opened her eyes slightly, wanting to struggle, but not daring to.
The more you struggle, the more ruthless the prince will become.
"Don't be afraid. With such a thin needle, you won't bleed. It might just hurt a little."
Yu Shengsheng closed her eyes tightly and clenched her teeth.
One, two, three.
"Yu Shengsheng, I really like you more and more."
The Queen's smile faded slightly: "Prince."
The prince did not even turn his head, and said with a smile: "Mother, why are you so anxious? I know what I am doing and what I should do."
Yu Shengsheng clearly saw that the smile on his face froze and his eyes became vicious.
"Yu Shengsheng, listen carefully to me. Kong Dezhao will be coming to the capital soon. If your marriage with him goes through, I will be nicer to you. But if not..."
The prince inserted another needle: "Don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless."
The sweat on Yu Shengsheng's forehead wet her hair, her vision became blurry, and her heart felt as if it were being crushed by a huge rock.
Kong Dezhao will arrive in Beijing soon? Is it true or false?
At this moment, Hao Mengye's voice was heard in the yard.
"Your Majesty, I have something important to report."
The Queen whispered, "Prince."
The prince was not in a hurry. He pulled out the needles from Yu Shengsheng's fingers one by one, threw them on the tray, and then stood up.
"Commander Hao, what's the matter?"
Hao Mengye's footsteps stopped at the palace entrance: "Your Majesty the Queen, Your Highness the Crown Prince, I just received the news and I have to hurry back to deal with important matters. I wonder if Your Majesty has finished teaching Miss Yu?"
The queen's eyes darkened slightly, and her tone became a little colder: "Commander Hao has something to do, go and deal with it yourself, I will send Shengsheng back later."
Yu Shengsheng knelt on the spot, swaying, but in her heart she was silently shouting, hoping that Hao Mengye would not leave.
"Your Highness, Miss Yu is now a suspect in Zhenqu Tower, not a guest. I have brought her into the palace and will take her back. I dare not trouble Your Highness."
The prince's face turned cold, and he was about to speak, but the queen reminded him, "Prince."
"Yu Shengsheng was taught by me anyway. Commander Hao, I hope you can find out the truth as soon as possible and clear her name, so as to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings when the Prince of Nanshun comes to the capital in the future."
"Then I will clear her name and ask Commander Hao to be her witness."
Hao Mengye hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes."
"In that case," the Queen glanced at Yu Shengsheng, "then you can go back with Commander Hao."
"Mother!" The prince looked rejecting.
He originally thought that since he had finally managed to get Yu Shengsheng into the palace, he must bring her back to the East Palace and let her stay for two more hours.
How can we let him go so easily?
"Prince, please consider the overall situation." The queen warned.
Yu Shengsheng reluctantly kowtowed and said, "I'll take my leave."
She gritted her teeth, stood up, lowered her head and walked away, all the way to the hall gate before turning around and leaving.
Hao Mengye was just outside the curtain. When he saw her come out, he noticed that her face was covered with red spots, her lips were blood red, and her eyes were slightly narrowed.
But he said nothing, turned around and left, and Yu Shengsheng followed behind.
When they arrived at the palace gate, Lady Official Song was standing there, seemingly waiting for Yu Shengsheng.
"Miss Yu, don't forget the Queen's teachings this time. Oh, by the way, go back and apply medicine to your fingers. You have a delicate body, so don't let it get sick."
Her fingers were already red and swollen from when she stepped on Yu Shengsheng before.
Yu Shengsheng bowed and said, "Thank you, Miss Song."
Hao Mengye walked forward without saying a word, and had no intention of waiting for Yu Shengsheng. Yu Shengsheng tried his best to catch up.
When Lady Song saw this, she smiled contemptuously: "Bitch."
Hao Mengye's pace didn't slow down until he turned the corner and left the Queen's Palace.
Yu Shengsheng was breathing slightly, feeling uncomfortable and sweating, her clothes were soaked and stuck to her body.
Hao Mengye walked a few steps slowly and suddenly asked, "Why do you call yourself a slave?"
Yu Shengsheng didn't react for a moment, and after a pause she said, "Learning etiquette in front of the queen and calling myself a slave was decided when I first arrived at the villa."
"You are a lady from an official family, not a slave."
Yu Shengsheng laughed at herself and said, "I'm sure Commander Hao has heard of my life story. Who would think of me as a young lady from an official family?"
Hao Mengye said no more.
Until she left the palace and got into the carriage, the red spots on her body had not faded yet, and her swollen fingers were shocking.
"Your face...is it because of eating yellow fruit?"
"Yes." Yu Shengsheng admitted frankly.
Hao Mengye said, So that's it.
In this respect, she is very similar to the commander. The commander cannot drink alcohol. If he does, he will get drunk and develop red spots.
Yu Shengsheng got on the carriage and lowered the curtain. Then he let out a long breath, his hands trembling and his brows furrowed.
There were tears in her eyes, but she didn't want to cry.
Tears are the most useless thing.
There was an ice basin in the car. I put my hands in the basin and felt better.
I sat in the car without looking outside and no one was talking. It felt like the road was longer than when I came here.
When they returned to Zhenqiao Tower and got off the carriage, Yu Shengsheng noticed that there was an extra person behind the carriage.
He is in his fifties, carrying a medicine box, and is a doctor.
"Go in," said Hao Mengye.
Yu Shengsheng walked up the stairs and Jin Baobao rushed out to welcome her in. His smile froze before it even bloomed.
"Miss, are you hurt?"
