Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 813 By mistake, three birds with one stone (2)
"No, you go in and wait, I can go alone."

"Yes."

Feng Qingli pushed the wheelchair towards Taiye Pool.

The palace at night was shrouded in darkness, with a few stars flickering faintly in the sky, and the flickering lights were hazy and dim in the wind, but they clearly illuminated the road ahead.This nine-story pavilion, deep in the palace, under the cover of night, nothing can be seen.

Fengbo Pavilion is on the west side of the Imperial Garden, not far from Taiye Lake, but the direction is different.

Qiu Mingyue looked over from a distance, and saw ahead, a pavilion loomed in the depths of the flowers illuminated more and more brilliantly by the night lights.Surrounded by tulle, a slender figure sits in the pavilion, lonely and lonely.Occasionally, there was a wind blowing, and it was clear that the woman's face was paler than the moonlight.

There is a person standing behind her, Qingwen.

Qiu Mingyue narrowed her eyes and asked, "Is Eldest Sister still in good health?" In her memory, it seems that since last year, Qiu Mingxia went back to her mother's house, and then she fell ill within a few days after returning, and she has not been sick until now. What a turnaround.

Chu Zhu lowered his head, and said: "Young Mistress has a heart disease, if this goes on, it's rare to get better."

Qiu Mingyue couldn't help raising her eyebrows when she heard that her tone seemed a little strange.

"Heart disease?"

Chu Zhu buried her head even lower, "The concubine Shizi will know when she sees the young mistress later, the servant girl is just a maidservant, she doesn't know anything."

Qiu Mingyue vaguely noticed that Chuzhu seemed to be somewhat hostile towards her.

why?
While thinking about it, she had already arrived at the Storm Pavilion.

"Fifth sister, you are here."

Qiu Mingxia's still gentle and willow voice came from the pavilion, with a bit of weakness and exhaustion.

Qiu Mingyue paused, then walked up the stairs, and saw Qiu Mingxia sitting alone, wearing a cotton robe with a narrow collar that was a little loose on her body.Perhaps it was too cold in the pavilion, she drank some wine, but her face was still not rosy, instead she felt more and more miserable and gloomy between her brows.At this moment, she was still holding the wine glass with her fingers, and her slender fingers were so thin that they seemed to have peeled off a layer of skin, and they looked wrinkled.

It was too far away in the main hall before, and it was shining with pearls, so she couldn't see clearly.Now that she was right in front of her eyes, she realized that Qiu Mingxia's bright face was even more haggard than what she saw in the hall, and there were fine lines between the corners of her eyes.

She is only 19 years old, she has already shown her old age in such a wonderful age.What kind of blows has this gentle and willow-like woman suffered this year?
"Miss?"

Standing in front of her, Qiu Mingyue was so shocked that she could hardly speak.From last year when I suppressed the Lin family step by step, to Qiu Mingyu having to marry a concubine as his wife, to this year, the Lin family was demoted from his wife to his concubine.She knew that this series of events would deal a heavy blow to Qiu Mingxia.But she never imagined that in less than a year, this gentle and beautiful woman whom she met for the first time would become prematurely old and haggard.Is it really because of my own reasons?
Looking at Qiu Mingxia, she felt mixed feelings for a moment, as if she was in a dream.

Qiu Mingxia sat still and smiled at her.

"sit down."

Qiu Mingyue sat down with complicated eyes, "Sister, you..."

No wonder Shangguan Mochen didn't even look at her when she was in the hall just now.Men in this world mostly judge women by their looks, and Shangguan Mochen is such a rich man, at the age of Huafa, but his wife has already shown her age, so he naturally doesn't like it.

"How could you..."

She couldn't keep asking, thinking about Lin's matters, how much it had to do with herself.Although it was Lin's fault, Qiu Mingxia was innocent anyway.

Qiu Mingxia's eyes were still gentle, "Chuzhu, Qingwen, go outside and watch."

"Yes."

The two maids went out.

Only then did Qiu Mingxia look at Qiu Mingyue, her eyes touched the shining light all over her body, and slowly moved to her increasingly stunning face, she smiled slightly in a daze.It's just that the sadness in those eyes became more and more intense and desolate.

"I haven't seen fifth sister for a long time. My younger sister has become more and more beautiful and refined. It really makes the daughters of the world feel ashamed."

It is ironic and jealous that someone else should say this.But when Qiu Mingxia said it with a smile, Qiu Mingyue felt a little heavy and depressed.

She held Qiu Mingxia's hand, startled by the coldness of her fingertips.

"Sister, why are your hands so cold?"

She stood up and hurriedly took off the cloak to put it on her, but Qiu Mingxia stopped her.

"It's okay."

Qiu Mingyue frowned, the cloak fell on the stone bench, and she didn't bother to pick it up.

"Eldest sister is blaming me?"

She sat down again and looked at the wine glass in front of her with complicated eyes.

Qiu Mingxia shook her head, "In the past, I only knew that my mother was strong, sometimes arrogant and unreasonable, but I never thought that she would..." She bowed her head, her eyes darkened.

"Now... it can only be said that the retribution is not good."

She looked up and smiled again, "Third Sister and Sixth Sister are ignorant, but they have caused you a lot of trouble."

Qiu Mingyue didn't know what to say.

Qiu Mingxia sighed again, her eyes a bit dazed.

"Actually, I also blamed you at first." She lowered her head, holding the wine glass in both hands, with a somewhat mournful expression.

"Thinking about it later, it's actually nothing to blame, it's just fate. Just thinking about the third and sixth sisters makes me feel sad."

Qiu Mingyue pursed her lips, "Eldest sister is looking for something important today?"

Qiu Mingxia shook her head, raised her head slowly, and smiled vainly.But in Qiu Mingyue's eyes, it seemed that her face was covered with tears.

"Fifth sister, you know that the husband is going to marry a common wife."

"what?"

Qiu Mingyue was shocked, she really didn't know about this.

"When did it happen? Mrs. Uncle Zhongshan also agreed? Who is the other party?"

Qiu Mingxia smiled bitterly, "I have been married to the Uncle Zhongshan's residence for four years, and I have not had any children. Even if the Shangguan family divorced, I should take it for granted. If it wasn't for the sake of Sister Wei and the Grand Master's residence, maybe I have long..."

"But I just saw that Mrs. Uncle Zhongshan is still very kind to you."

During the banquet just now, although it was far away, Qiu Mingyue also noticed that Mrs. Uncle Zhongshan really cared for Qiu Mingxia, how could it be...

Qiu Mingxia smiled, with gratitude and guilt hidden in her eyes.

"My mother-in-law has always been kind to me. It was because I was useless and failed to catch my husband's heart that..."

Qiu Mingyue frowned, "The last time you went back to your mother's house, I saw that your brother-in-law treated you very well. It's only been a year, how come?"

Qiu Mingxia shook her head, looking at the blue waves sparkling in the distance, and the moonlight shining coldly in the water.
