"Take these cakes and distribute them to the servants." I tilted my neck to take off my dazzling golden earrings.
"But the Queen said..." The maid looked at me hesitantly, her hand touching the bamboo basket but not moving.
Yes, I was crying with my friends on the phone about the long-lasting love storm in a tragic love novel in ancient Chinese literature just a second ago, and the next second I was transported into this book.
Unfortunately, I am not the protagonist of the sweet love, I am the supporting actress who fuels the sadomasochism.
"Xiao Cui, in the next few days, no matter what others ask you, just cry and say you don't know, understand?" I continued to take off the heavy pearl hairpin on my head. Mu Chenshuang's head was full of pendants, just like a dressing box on her head.
The female supporting role just came back from the Queen, and after coming back, she inexplicably became me, no, I should say I became her.
What did she do at the Queen's? She brought back a bottle of poison to drink.
Of course, I wasn't seeking death. I, the supporting actress, fell in love with the emperor at first sight and cherished my life very much! I wanted to hold the emperor's hand and live with him forever! But in the end, I ended up hanging myself.
This outcome is related to the bottle of poison. The concubines are scheming against each other, and since they can't fight openly, they frame each other secretly.
Oh, there's one thing wrong. The heroine Song Rushuang wasn't a concubine yet. She was a baby that the Empress Dowager took from outside the temple when Emperor Song Heng was 4 years old. That year, there was a flood in the east, and the people were living in dire straits. The Empress Dowager took her home out of kindness, and a few days later the flood receded and the sky cleared again.
Everyone in the palace thought she had an auspicious aura, so the late emperor and the empress dowager raised her as their adopted daughter in the palace, the emperor's childhood sweetheart.
I ran away. Now I should have eaten the cakes that the heroine kindly sent to the concubines in the harem, and then drank the poison given by the queen. After being seriously ill for a few days, I insisted that I was in so much pain just by eating the heroine's cakes, so that the emperor would have a rift with the lively, kind and simple heroine.
But I have read the book. Empress Hua thought she was perfect, but she didn't know that her personal maid for many years was actually the emperor's spy.
He did not expose the queen and the female supporting character immediately because the queen's father Hua Cheng was the second-rank minister of the court and had great power.
But if he doesn't take action, it will be fine. Once he moves, he will uproot them. Two years later, this wise emperor will make Hua disappear completely from the harem and the court.
Although I am different from this female supporting role who has a negative IQ because of love in many ways, I also cherish my life. The halo of the heroine is not something that a rookie female supporting role like me can touch.
In the long run, it is better to offend the queen than the emperor and the heroine.
But I have to drink this poison because my self-proclaimed smart brother Mu Chenfeng was tricked by the forces of Minister Hua and was falsely accused of corruption and bribery.
My father was a third-rank imperial censor. He was incorruptible and had long been disliked by the Hua family. Since they could not find any evidence against my father, they started with my brother.
If I don't obey the Queen and accompany her for a few days, my brother will be thrown into prison tomorrow. Although I am a person who traveled through time, I have to accept it. Moreover, the blood relationship has long been integrated into my body and blood.
I picked up the small porcelain bottle on the table, pulled open the red cloth stopper, and couldn't help but think of the saying: If the feelings are deep, drink it in one gulp; if the feelings are shallow, just lick it.
At first, the female supporting character was so scared that she just licked it. As a result, the next day, her brother woke up before he was released. After seeing the queen's gloomy face, she immediately started to cry in front of the emperor, saying how painful it was for her to eat the female supporting character's cake and how innocent she was.
Little did he know that every word he said was pushing himself towards a more tragic death.
I turned to give Xiao Cui one last look. "Go deliver the cakes." She was quite loyal to me in the book, so I trusted her. After watching her leave with the basket, I tilted my head back and drank the liquid in the porcelain cup in one gulp. It was quite sweet.
Not long after I carefully hid the porcelain bottle, I suddenly felt like a high-powered meat grinder in my stomach had started up, and my internal organs seemed to be crushed to pieces. I fell directly from the wooden chair to the floor in pain, and the gold and silver jewelry on the table were also scattered on the ground by me. It's really not easy to stay alive.
