The maid is the queen

Chapter 248 Betting on Love Again
I know that I am very selfish and only want love, but emotional matters are really intricate.

Tired for most of the day, I ate dinner and went to bed with some headaches.

Tossing and turning in the middle of the night, I heard some voices from the outer room: "Did you sleep deeply?"

"Your Majesty, the princess slept very deeply, but she was unhappy all afternoon, and the slaves don't know what the princess is thinking?"

"And watch it carefully."

"Don't the emperor look at the princess?"

After a moment of silence, he said: "She wakes up, if I go in to see her, she may wake up, you go in every few cups of tea, don't let her catch the cold."

"The servant knows."

After a while, a shadow turned to the window and stood there.

The bright moonlight shone on the window paper, making it all white, reflecting his lonely figure.I turned my head and looked again after a while, but there was no shadow in front of the window.

Suddenly the drowsiness faded, Xia Junlan, why are you so infatuated?You are the emperor, when you turn around, there are countless beauties waiting for you.

Gong Dou was also jealous and hated because of being favored alone, that's why there was such a fight.

At that time, it was the empress who won, but now it seems that I am the one who won, but I have never forgotten what she said to me. I have remembered the love she had for the emperor at the side of the vineyard, and the guilt she felt towards me.

Unable to fall asleep in the middle of the night, I simply gathered up my clothes and opened the window to look at the moon.

Who knew that when I pushed it away, I bumped into something, heard someone yell, and looked out to see that he didn't leave under the moonlight, and looked at me in surprise while covering his forehead with one hand.

I also surprised him, because he didn't leave, and thought he had left.

He suddenly smiled, looked at me softly and said, "Zhiqiu, are you taking revenge? Seeing you push the window when I wake up, it really hurts."

"My lord." I called softly.

I'm not revenge, it just so happens.

Looking back, the lights in the pavilion were turned on, the emperor was sitting in the inner hall, and the maid brought cotton wool and hemostatic medicine and went down. I gently wiped the blood from his forehead. The wooden window was very thick. It really broke his forehead.

"Your majesty, why don't you let the imperial doctor take a look." Is it just okay to apply the medicine like this?He is the emperor.

He shook his head and smiled: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all."

Yeah?I increased the strength in my hand suspiciously, and the corners of his lips were twitching.

It still doesn't hurt, is this considered retribution, I don't go to sleep in the middle of the night if I have nothing to do, I ran to sit under my window.

He smiled like a child, and obediently let me rub it: "Zhiqiu, I was injured by you, you have to take care of me until the injury is healed."

I silently applied medicine to him, and in retaliation wrapped him with gauze into a dumpling head.

He was still not angry, his eyes were so bright that people dare not look directly at them, he touched the thick gauze on his head and said with a sigh: "It's worth it."

"The emperor should go back to rest early, and he will go to court tomorrow."

"I can't sleep." He looked at me sadly: "Why don't you go out for a walk, no one comes in and out of the harem in the dead of night, and it's the brightest time to watch the stars."

Don't come here, I am no longer the Yun Zhiqiu I was back then.

Shaking his head, he said, "Your Majesty, I'm still sleepy."

But he lowered his head and took out a small box from his sleeve: "Zhiqiu, I'll show you something."

"Jade finger?" I asked lightly, "No."

He smiled: "Exactly."

"I don't look at it." What's so good about broken things.

He grabbed my sleeve with one hand: "You must watch it. In fact, I came here in the middle of the night, and I won't wait until dawn to let you watch it."

He hissed lightly, motioning me not to speak, and then opened the small box with a serious face, the half-opened box under the candlelight had already revealed its brilliance.

It was the jade ring finger, lying quietly and perfectly in the brocade box, the faint brilliance was still so soft.

I squinted my eyes and looked at the jade wrench carefully, trying to find flaws and cracks in it.

It's not a little bit complete, it's still the original jade finger, and the pattern inside the jade is still the phoenix Yu Fei.

Still in amazement, he said: "I can't have too many regrets. I can repair the jade once it is broken. Zhiqiu, lifeless things can still be like this. You have loved me with your heart, so is it not as good as lifeless things?" ?”

I didn't speak, my heart was overturned.

Even though time can precipitate a lot of emotions, listening to him say this now, I always feel panic and fear in my heart.

Fear, but love for him, there is still something to look forward to.

He also said: "Zhiqiu, in fact, I can see through you, you dare not bet with me because you are afraid, because you still have me in your heart, you will fall in love with me, but little thing, what are you afraid of? "

Am I afraid that I will fall in love with him?I'm afraid of getting stuck and getting hurt again.

"Zhiqiu." He whispered hoarsely: "Don't be afraid, I have loved you with my heart, I have learned how to love someone, I will not let you get hurt again, give me another chance, just once .” He said mournfully.

I bit my lip, a little confused: "I don't know."

"I'm too impatient." He smiled after hearing this: "Although I think we have a lot of time, as long as you live, who else can you love besides me."

He was still so arrogant, even his earnest request carried his self-confidence.

The sun had whitened the window paper, and I actually fell asleep sitting on the imperial concubine's couch, the thin blanket on my body was well wrapped up, and I was still holding the jade wrench in my hand.

Looking at it curiously in the sun, it was really repaired seamlessly. Let the sun shine on it, it can't be seen that it was broken before. He said that inanimate things can be repaired as long as they have the heart, not to mention that we are still entangled.

I couldn't let it go, I smiled bitterly.

Putting away the jade ring finger and putting it on my finger, I felt a little bit embarrassed. The broken heart that fell on the ground was the same as the heart that was broken at the beginning.

The matter of the wristband is also very clear. If it weren't for Yunsha, there might not be such a big rift between him and me. Alas, creations make people fool.

How could it be Yunsha's fault?I was wrong, he was wrong, when the trust was no longer the same, he believed everything Yunsha said in front of him.If there were really no such things, I wouldn't hate him so much. It's true. When I saw the wristband in her hand, how could it be cut like a knife.

Sitting blankly until the baby and Xu came back at noon, the baby pulled me and said, "Concubine Mu, take the baby to see brother Xi, I passed by Concubine Su this morning, and I cried a lot."

"Who is it?" I brushed her little braids.

Xu then said: "Concubine Mu, the younger sister born to Concubine Yunmu, was crying at Concubine Su's place. People in the palace said that her concubine's murder was brought to the dungeon and she was going to be beheaded."

I tied up the baby's hair: "Brother Xi should be fine, don't worry, after dinner, you can sleep for a while, and you have to train horses in the afternoon."

As a prince and princess, I know it's not easy. It's better not to force him to grow up. Then Xia Junlan told me about his childhood, and he must have worked twice as hard as them at that time.

"Mother Concubine, this is really pretty." The baby sharply saw the jade wrench I put on the table.

I smiled lightly: "Your father gave it to me. Go eat first, and after you sleep, my mother will take you to ride horses."

"Okay." The baby cried excitedly.

But Xu pulled my clothes and looked up at me, with a smile in his black eyes, he said: "Mother Concubine, I like the current Concubine Mother."

I squatted down and hugged his small body, Xu grew up so fast, when I watched his mother and concubine leave, he was just born, and he grew up so quickly.

"Xu, then you don't like the former concubine mother?"

He shook his head and said seriously: "It's not that I don't like it, but I like the current concubine mother more."

"Smart Xu." Nodding his head: "Xu, will you hate your mother when you grow up?"

"No." He smiled: "Xu likes his concubine the most. Xu needs to grow up quickly so that he can protect her and prevent her from being sad."

When everyone is young, he is so innocent and happy, but the more he grows up, he will take away a lot of happiness. When he grows up to a certain point, he will think that his father used him as a pawn for It's Baoxi, his father killed his mother, Xu, sometimes I don't dare to think about too many things.

Let it go, a lot of things are unclear, and you are destined to have entanglements with him, why don't you dare to bet, because I am afraid that I will still be moved by him.

Yunsha's surname is actually Lu.This is what Lu Yao told me, and her revenge seems to be like this.

Feeling a little depressed in my heart, I asked the maid beside me: "When Yunsha was in Zhenghua Palace, how did she treat Xi'er?"

The maid said: "I am very fond of it."

To get to the dungeon, you have to go through the long alley. I still remember that when I came out, I thought this was the last way I would go. The guard opened the door and took me in.

Yunsha was locked in a separate small cell, and it took a long time to see her clearly in that dark place.

She turned her face away indifferently, and did not look at me arrogantly, but said: "Now I am a dying person, I used to be good to Xike, if you don't let my daughter go, I won't let go over yours."

The guards put on the torches and walked away. I watched her think of myself before, and couldn't help sighing. I was locked up here too, and I said such things. I feel sorry for the parents of the world.

Said lightly: "I have no grievances with you, why would I kill your daughter?"

She snorted coldly: "That's not necessarily the case, don't you all know it? Yes, I buckled the wristband you sent and wore it privately. The emperor asked the father-in-law, and I gave them the silver. The father-in-law said you I must have forgotten about going to the Three Princes' Mansion in such a hurry in those days."

When she said this, her arrogance did not even lessen.

I said, "I also know that your surname is Lu, not Yun."

She was startled and looked at me with some surprise.

"Before, I was locked here too. When the queen came to see me, she told me that she thought I would never have a chance to live again."

She pondered for a moment, and finally raised her head to look at me: "What do you mean by coming to see me now?"

"It's not very interesting, just take a look." Maybe I want to know from her mouth what kind of side he was when I thought the emperor hated me during that period of time.

"No matter how much you hate the empress, now that you have won, you can come to me for whatever you have. Don't blame the empress, and don't hurt my daughter. Everyone in the palace has said that you are a kind person. I hope so."
