After pacifying the previous dynasty, Su Man also had time to catch the traitor.
The more stable the previous dynasty was, the less chance the other side had to take action, not to mention Di Zixiao and Zi Yi, whom they had painstakingly placed in the palace. One of them was missing, dead or alive, and the other was confined to the palace, leaving Nong Shuang alone to hold on.
Therefore, the harem was calm during this period, and even Nong Shuang did not spread any news outside.
Presumably, the traitor wanted to lurk in the dark and wait for an opportunity to strike, but Su Man didn't want to give him this chance.
...
The early morning in the palace is the busiest time of the day. The palace servants have to help their masters get up, put on makeup for them, and then accompany them to pay their respects to Fengjun Palace.
But the situation in Yangui Hall was completely different. Three or five palace maids gathered in the inner hall, eating the food that Su Man had given to Di Zixiao as a reward while shaking dice and gambling.
"Big big!"
"Little little little!"
They were shouting and yelling downstairs, making Di Zixiao unable to sleep.
During his time as a living dead, he lived in a daze every day, not even knowing whether it was day or night.
If the palace maids had not been afraid that Su Man would find out and were willing to wipe his body and give him a bath, he would have felt that he was going to rot in bed.
In the darkness, he was looking forward to Suman's arrival. Only when she came could he realize that he was still alive.
Half asleep and half awake, some gossip floated into his ears.
"Hey, did you hear that His Majesty released a pond of lanterns yesterday to cheer up Lord Feng."
"How could I not have heard of it? I even went to see it. There were fireworks set off by the pond, it was beautiful."
"Tsk tsk tsk, I think if this continues, this person in our palace will fall out of favor."
"Just him? He can't move or speak. He used to have a good appearance, but now he's like a daylily that's out of season, just skin stretched over bones. Your Majesty, you didn't bury him outright, which shows your gratitude."
"That's right."
“…”
Those few light words pierced Di Zixiao's heart like a sieve. People who have been isolated for a long time are prone to worrying about gains and losses, not to mention that Su Man is his everything now. When he heard about how Su Man and Feng Jun get along, an emotion called jealousy took over his body and mind. He couldn't help but imagine the scene of Su Man and Feng Jun together.
They stood by the pool and behaved intimately. Su Man's slender hands untied Feng Jun's belt, and the two of them made love in the hibiscus tent.
Just thinking about it made him go crazy with jealousy.
It was at this moment that he realized that he had unknowingly fallen in love with that woman, the woman he had once disdained and even wanted to kill.
How did he become like this, why did he become like this.
Although he resisted, he still couldn't help missing her...
I don’t know how long it took, maybe the time of an incense stick, maybe an hour or even longer.
He heard a voice that could not be described as heavenly, "Zixiao, I'm here."
Di Zixiao couldn't speak, but his accelerated heartbeat betrayed him.
As usual, Su Man sent everyone away and patiently told him what had happened recently.
When Di Zixiao heard that she was sad, his heart seemed to be tightened. When he heard that she had regained her military power, he was extremely happy for her, as if he had forgotten that his mission was to disrupt the situation in Dayong.
As he was speaking, his hand was suddenly grabbed. "You are too careless. You didn't even know to trim your nails when they grew long. Let me help you trim them."
“…”
Di Zixiao's heart sank, and as he heard the subtle "click" sound, his agitated mood calmed down.
In fact...
Su Man sat on a recliner beside her and read some miscellaneous books. Wu Xia took a pair of scissors and worked tirelessly to help Di Zixiao clean his nails, with no emotion on her face.
After everything was done, Wu Xia put down Di Zixiao's claws and let Su Man take over.
Su Man placed her hand on Di Zixiao's forehead and said, "Every part of you is so beautiful. You can't neglect it."
These words instantly wrapped Di Zixiao, who had just felt inferior because of the palace people's gossip, in warmth. He felt as sweet as if he was soaked in a honey pot.
When the atmosphere was about right, Su Man gave Wu Xia a wink.
Wu Xia understood what he meant. She first moved to the door, then trotted over, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has good news!"
Su Man pretended to be serious, "What's the matter? Why are you yelling like that? What if Zi Xiao is disturbed?"
"Your Majesty, calm down. This good news is exactly related to Di Guijun."
"Girl, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me what's going on."
"In reply to your Majesty, Imperial Physician Zhou just reported that he has developed a prescription that can cure Lord Di."
"What!"
Su Man stood up suddenly, "Are you serious?"
"Absolutely true."
“…”
After hearing this news, Di Zixiao, who had originally lost hope, rekindled his hope.
Would he ever have a chance to wake up? Would he ever have a chance to hold her in his arms?
After hearing Wu Xia's words, Su Man rushed to the Imperial Hospital. Although Di Zixiao was anxious, he had to wait.
However, since this news came out, the palace maids have not been as lazy as before, and each of them is very concerned.
-
In order to make the appearance complete, Su Man took Wu Xia to stay in the Imperial Hospital for a whole day and did not return until dark.
After Wu Xia helped Su Man to bed, she returned to the servants' room.
Wu Xia pushed the door open very carefully, fearing that she would disturb Niao Shuang. Unexpectedly, when the door opened, the light inside was still on.
