Chapter 62 Two People Dissociate
Ling'er rolled her eyes at the little prodigal and turned to go into the house.
Xiao Liangzi said sourly: "In terms of seniority, I have been in the palace longer than the little prodigal. If you want to choose you, you should choose me."
He said this in a low voice.
But it was still heard by Xiang Ma.
Xiang Ma said solemnly: "You are still suitable to stay in the cold palace, little prodigal, go and pack up the materials that Eunuch Wei brought. Winter is coming, and I will make two new clothes for the princess."
The little prodigal was very happy: "Okay!"
After saying that, he rushed to the gift brought by Eunuch Wei. The more he
looked, the brighter his eyes became.
This is not just material, but also various small things, even night pearls, jewelry, and the most jaw-dropping thing for him was the object in the last box.
That was the white jade tiger that was presented as a tribute to the emperor a few years ago. It weighed more than 100 kilograms, was made entirely of white jade, and was carved in one piece. It was said that it shocked the emperor at the time. The proud Prince Heng once said in the court that he wanted to see the white jade tiger, but the emperor did not let him.
Unexpectedly, it was awarded to Princess Zhixin.
This kind of favor is unique in the world, and it is really enviable.
Because of this white jade tiger, who in the harem dares to look down on Concubine Shugui and Princess Zhixin!
Guangling Palace.
Concubine Shugui has no appetite, and her heart and eyes are full of Ying'an who is in the cold palace.
She is worried about whether she can live in the habit, whether she can sleep, and whether the group of dog servants in the cold palace will give her a bad look.
Mi Chun was anxious: "Madam, please eat something! Otherwise, Nanny Chen will tell you about me when she comes back!"
Concubine Shu Gui was lying on the couch, the half of her face that was cut was still bandaged, but only with a strip of cloth, it didn't look so shocking, but her pair of watery eyes were full of tears, flowing down her cheeks.
The tears left two marks on her face. She
was sobbing softly, and I felt pity for her.
"I can't eat. Have you asked about
the situation in the cold palace?" Mi Chun was infected and started crying. She lowered her head and whispered, "My queen, the cold palace is surrounded by the Yu Lin army. I don't know what's going on inside. I only know that Eunuch Wei brought a bunch of boxes to the cold palace this morning. It was probably the emperor's order. I guess it was a reward. But my queen, since the emperor has rewarded the princess, Why did he send people to surround the cold palace again? "
After a long time, Concubine Shugui spoke: "He couldn't give an explanation to the previous dynasty, so he could only let Ying'an suffer. Those rewards were probably used to comfort me. Besides, there are many people in the palace, and someone will take advantage of the princess being in the cold palace to attack Ying'an. The emperor did this to protect the royal heir."
Between the lines, she was unwilling to attribute the emperor's actions to herself.
The young love was finally worn out.
Mi Chun noticed that the queen was heartbroken, and hurriedly knelt down and cried, "My queen, don't give up. The emperor has deep feelings for you, so he also cares for the princess. You misunderstand the emperor's feelings and will bring disaster to yourself!"
Hearing this, Concubine Shugui cried even harder.
"How can I get through this long night if I don't hate him? I was injured to this extent for him, but in return he only stayed in Chengqian Palace and never set foot in Guangling Palace. He even got angry with Ying'an. If I hadn't stopped her at that time, Ying'an would have been ready to marry far away in the east now. Mi Chun, tell me, when daddy sent me to the palace that day, did he ever think that the emperor was such a heartless person?"
Mi Chun didn't know how to comfort her and could only cry with her.
Outside the palace, Emperor Qingling stood at the door with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking.
Wei Weiran was anxious to speak, but Emperor Qingling raised his hand to stop him.
"Stop, she is sad, I know, you go and tell Doctor Zhao to take good care of Concubine Shugui, I will go back to Yu's study first."
After leaving this sentence, Emperor Qingling turned and left.
After Yu drove away, Wei Weiran walked into the room and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, you have been in the palace for so many years, you must know the emperor's temper. What you said...the emperor..."
When he came in, Concubine Shugui guessed that the emperor was outside the palace just now.
She looked away and said lightly, "Has the emperor gone back?"
Wei Weiran lowered his eyes: "He has returned to his study now."
Shu Guifei tilted her head to the other side and said solemnly, "I know, you go back to serve the emperor." Wei
Weiran hesitated for a moment, trying to hold back, but still spoke: "Your Majesty, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, and you have always been the first in the emperor's heart. Because of your injury this time, the emperor loves you and the princess the most. Look, he just asked the servants to send the white jade tiger to the princess this morning, just to tell your majesty that he is thinking about the princess in his heart. You have misunderstood the emperor if you think so."
Shu Guifei said lightly: "This palace will find a chance to explain it clearly to the emperor. Thank you for your kindness, eunuch."
Wei Weiran sighed.
Concubine Shugui is the most gentle and the one who wins the emperor's heart the most, but she is also the most sober person in the harem.
As a bystander, he can see that Concubine Shugui's feelings for the emperor have deteriorated since she came out of the cold palace, but the emperor is immersed in his feelings for Concubine Shugui and can't extricate himself, deceiving himself and others.
Originally, Concubine Shugui treated the emperor as her superior and tried to please him. She only said what the emperor liked to hear. Although she made requests, she always stopped at the right time and tried her best to make up for it. This time the princess was thrown into the cold palace, and I am afraid that Concubine Shugui's heart must be dead.
In the future, there will be no sincerity, only obedience.
As long as it does not involve the Prime Minister's Mansion and the princess, she can go a long way in the harem.
There is no other reason.
It's just because she no longer has the heart that only loves the emperor.
Wei Weiran saw through it all, but he didn't know where to start, so he could only bow and take his leave: "Then your Majesty, I will go to find Imperial Physician Zhao first. The Emperor has ordered me to ask Imperial Physician Zhao to take good care of your Majesty. I will go and tell him what he has said."
Concubine Shu Gui didn't respond, just nodded.
Wei Weiran lowered his eyes and left.
The Emperor and Concubine Shu Gui are probably going to have a rift.
On one side is the most important world in the Emperor's heart.
On the other side is the most important princess in Concubine Shu Gui's heart.
How can they have both?
In Yu's study, Emperor Qing Ling sat in front of Yu's desk.
Wei Xin rushed in from outside and knelt down to bow: "Meet the Emperor."
Emperor Qingling raised his eyes lazily and said in a calm voice: "How is the abbot of Foshan Temple who I asked you to investigate?"
Wei Xin lowered his head: "Your Majesty, they acted very covertly. I did not find any information about the collusion between Foshan Temple and Prince Heng's Mansion. And the assassins that day all seemed to appear out of thin air. We cannot trace any trace of them."
Emperor Qingling snorted coldly.
"No trace is the best evidence! Who else in this world can hide the truth from me except Prince Heng!"
Wei Xin said solemnly: "But Your Majesty, Prince Heng has worked hard for many years and knew this day would come. There are so many forces in the previous dynasty that are related to Prince Heng. If you touch Prince Heng now, it will affect the whole body. This is definitely not the best time." On the day
when Concubine Shu Gui was injured, the emperor wanted to kill Prince Heng. If it weren't for the Fourteenth Master who happened to come back, Prince Heng would have become a corpse now.
The Fourteenth Master was a little more rational than the emperor and persuaded the emperor.
But the emperor is the emperor. What he has to do is to punish Prince Heng even if it means overcoming all difficulties.
