Chapter 106 Sister, You Must Save Me
Jiang Shuyi returned to Zhaoyang Palace.
She had no choice. When she saw Pei Yan, she wanted to act coquettishly and snuggle in his arms out of habit while sleeping. She would not let her hands and feet be tied. Pei Yan felt uncomfortable, and so did she.
It will only take a few days, and it will be fine in a few days.
Jiang Shuyi took back seven or eight pieces of Pei Yan's underwear and spread them all over the bed. She also hung his jade pendant on the tent. Only then did she feel the presence of Pei Yan's life and felt a little relieved.
In addition, Jiang Shuyi also begged the Buddha, the Three Pure Ones, and all the gods to stop letting her dream about her past life. She really couldn't bear it and her heart ached. If she really had to do it, she would wait until Pei Yan recovered from his illness and they could sleep on the same bed.
At least that way when she wakes up, she won't be so panicked, sad, and heartbroken.
The night was surprisingly peaceful.
During the day, Jiang Shuyi still went to the Qianqing Palace to stay with Pei Yan, and returned to Zhaoyang Palace after dinner. After two days, Pei Yan was almost recovered from his illness.
Jiang Shuyi moved back with great enthusiasm, but Wang Yuanpan said that the disease was most likely to spread during the few days after recovery, so Pei Yan ordered her to stay in the palace for two more days and was not allowed to come during the day.
Bored and feeling suffocated, Jiang Shuyi decided to go to the morning meeting to kill time.
She no longer had to pay respects to the Kunning Palace. Queen Shen didn't care, and Pei Yan no longer forced her to do face-saving things from time to time like he did when she was just reborn. So when Pei Yan was with her, Jiang Shuyi didn't even think about this matter.
This trip today actually scared all the concubines.
After the shock, I felt secretly happy.
His Majesty is ill, but Concubine Jiang did not take good care of him but came to the morning meeting instead. Could it be that she failed to take good care of him and angered His Majesty?
Queen Shen asked bluntly, "Why are you here if you're not in the Qing Palace tending to the sick?"
Jiang Shuyi glanced at her slowly and said, "Because I haven't seen the Queen for a long time, I miss you so much that I can only feel at ease if I come to see you."
Several bursts of uncontrollable laughter rang out among the concubines.
Queen Shen's face darkened for a moment, then returned to normal. She said, "Thank God you don't make me angry," and then ignored her and continued to lecture everyone as usual.
During this period, many eyes fell on Jiang Shuyi's face, but she didn't care much. She just drank tea and listened to Shen Suzhen's lecture, smiling from time to time.
The morning meeting was over. Feng Yiyue hadn't seen Empress Jiang for a long time, so she came over to ask about her well-being. Miao Wangshu also followed her.
Concubine Rou was a solitary person. She smiled and bowed to Jiang Shuyi from a distance, then left.
Jiang Shuyi planned to walk around the Imperial Garden with them and talk about other things.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of Kunning Palace, he ran into Concubine Wu punishing Jiang Wanqing.
There was a gravel road near the flower garden outside Kunning Palace. Jiang Wanqing was kneeling on it with a slap mark on her face.
Jiang Shuyi saw it but pretended not to see it. She did not greet the angry Concubine Wu. She continued to chat and laugh with Feng Yiyue and walked towards the Imperial Garden.
Before he had walked far, Concubine Wu shouted angrily from behind: "What did Jiang promise you to do?"
Before she could even turn around, Jiang Wanqing ran in front of her, with a strand of hair disheveled. She knelt down to block the three of them, crying, "Sister, please save me! It's all because of you that Concubine Wu tortured me in every possible way. You must save me!"
Miao Wangshu took Jiang Shuyi's arm and planned to leave by bypassing Jiang Wanqing.
Jiang Wanqing noticed that Jiang Shuyi was about to leave, and immediately grabbed her skirt tightly, crying sadly: "Sister, please think about my aunt! My aunt's spirit in heaven is watching over me. She asked you to take good care of me, but you wanted to have a helper in the harem for your own selfish reasons, so you brought me into this golden cage, and you saw that I was useless, but you didn't care about me, and let me be humiliated and trampled on..."
Yuzhu couldn't help being so good-tempered, so she interrupted her and scolded her: "Don't lie, Jiang. The Queen had found several good marriages for you, but you refused and insisted on entering the palace. I still have those letters, so you want to confuse right and wrong!"
Jiang Wanqing paused in crying, and then her breath became much weaker. She just crawled on the ground and called out sadly: "Auntie, Auntie, please open your eyes and look..."
Many concubines were attracted by the movement and stopped to look. Jiang Shuyi's breathing rose and fell, and she sneered: "What do you want me to see? How you have used your sister since you were a child, how you were jealous of your sister, how you drank her blood, and how you feel resentful when I chased you away? Jiang Wanqing, when will you understand that I promised me to take care of you because of the love between mother and daughter, not that I owed you a life from then on!"
Jiang Wanqing's eyes lit up instantly, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw: "Then please save me for the sake of my aunt! As long as I can still be a noble like when I first entered the palace, and live with Concubine Xue, and you protect me from being bullied, I will be satisfied, and I will never compete with you for your favor!"
Jiang Shuyi laughed in anger, and was too lazy to say anything more to her. She ordered the palace servants, "Pull Jiang Da Ying away!"
The palace maid brought out from Zhaoyang Palace immediately stepped forward and pried open Jiang Wanqing's hands that were tightly grasping the hem of the empress's skirt.
Jiang Wanqing cried suddenly and miserably: "Sister, please save me, I don't want to be tortured by Concubine Wu anymore, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong..."
Jiang Shuyi took a deep breath and glanced at Concubine Wu.
Concubine Wu widened her eyes and said, "You want to control a sister like this?"
Before Jiang Shuyi could speak, Jiang Wanqing, who was being held down by the palace servants, suddenly stopped crying, looked straight at her, and said fiercely: "Sister, you must save me, otherwise I will not let you go. If I die, I will take you with me..."
Jiang Shuyi suddenly clenched her hands and paused for breath.
The tear-stained face in front of her overlapped with the hideousness of her previous life. She seemed to feel pain in her neck again. It was Jiang Wanqing strangling her.
Jiang Wanqing saw the panic in her eyes and suddenly smiled, her shoulders shaking with laughter: "Sister, you have the emperor's favor, the prince, and all the honors, but I am just a rotten life, I am not afraid of anything, you can let me live well with just one word, in exchange for you to live a peaceful life, isn't that good?"
Jiang Shuyi closed her eyes. Yuzhu had already rushed to protect her and scolded Jiang Wanqing.
Concubine Wu was also stunned at this moment.
Is Jiang Wanqing so bold? Why didn't I notice it on weekdays?
When I came to my senses, I found that Jiang Shuyi had left.
*
Jiang Shuyi was really scared.
Since her rebirth, she felt more fear towards Jiang Wanqing than hatred.
It hurts, it hurts like being strangled to death.
If Jiang Wanqing had come back from her previous life, she would have certainly gotten rid of him without hesitation, but Jiang Wanqing in this life had not had the chance to harm her. The mistakes she had made were nothing more than those disgusting little things from childhood to adulthood.
Should I kill her in this life for what happened in my past life?
Jiang Shuyi has never made up her mind, but she always has a fear in her heart, fearing that Jiang Wanqing will go crazy like in her previous life and kill her.
Jiang Wanqing's words and her expression today made Jiang Shuyi feel cold all over.
She didn't even dare to go back to Zhaoyang Palace alone, but went to Qianqing Palace again.
Only the people there can protect her...
