Everyone's eyes followed. They had never thought that people from the harem would come to this place.

Countless whips were driven into the body with blazing heat, and the pain was unbearable. The only thing that supported me was those words just now.

I originally thought that the person I was thinking about would appear, but after the vague figure gradually appeared, I realized how sad it all was.

He said that he would protect himself and stay by his side, but he was afraid that all the promises he said would disappear.

Nothing is more fleeting than this.

She shouldn't have any complaints herself. After all, all this shouldn't be too much to ask for. The more one expects, the greater the expectations, and the pain of loss is far greater than expectations.

"Your Majesty, this is what slaves and slaves should bear, and this should not be the case."

Caifeng saw the whip hitting the empress with her own eyes, but she had no power to fight back. Her hands were tightly grasped by the empress, which was a hint from the empress not to act rashly, but no matter how big the scene was, she was still

I hope that this matter will reach the ears of the emperor, so that the empress can escape from the sea of ​​suffering as soon as possible.

Although it was only for one day, it was really miserable for the empress.

Just when she was about to help her up, she saw her eyes looking at Cui, knowing that she could not help her up at this moment, and listened to the trembling voice, which was slowly spoken with a hint of pain.

"I said, you are all mine, so of course, I will not let you get hurt." When doing this, she had sworn that she would not let anyone cause harm to the people around her.

But she never wanted to hurt them both, after all, they were innocent.

And I am afraid that he is the only one who feels guilty the most. He deliberately said these words that day just to make him feel guilty about himself, but unexpectedly, he never showed up.

The corner of his bitter mouth forced a smile: "After all, you shouldn't be involved in all this. I'm sorry."

Zi Ling looked at the wound and remembered that the empress came back with wounds all over her body. At that time, the emperor personally carried her, but now...

There is no need to say this "I'm sorry". If he didn't get involved, even the emperor would not be relieved, just because he is beside the empress.

"Old slave, please see Concubine Shu."

As soon as Mrs. Cui saw Concubine Shu coming, she timidly asked for permission.

She was thinking to herself: If Concubine Shu came over at this time, she would actually save her life.

"When you see me, why don't you put away your whip?"

From the moment she came in, she could be seen whipping Ye Yilan's body with whip after whip. If the emperor saw this scene, would he feel distressed, and would he treat her as he did before?

Perhaps, there is still love between them, even if there is no expression on the surface, there is already an undercurrent in their hearts.

Both of them are the same person, and they are duplicitous.

Upon hearing this, he immediately threw the whip in his hand to the ground, lowered his eyes and said, "The old slave just taught me a lesson. The queen should not come to this place."

Shouldn't come?

However, he still came uninvited.

"There is no place in the harem that I cannot come to." He walked to her side disdainfully, glaring at her angrily with his cold eyes, then turned to look at the three of them hugging each other, his eyes couldn't help but reveal

A touch of softness. He said angrily. "What's more, Chen Zhaoyi was just wronged. There is no guarantee that the emperor will not pardon him in the future. If this matter once spreads to the emperor's ears, remembering the past feelings, you say, you

This life will be there."

Hearing this, Mrs. Cui couldn't help but tremble secretly in her heart. She remembered that one day, when everyone in the harem was talking about Chen Zhaoyi, the emperor killed him anyway.

If it is true as Concubine Shu said, it is inevitable that...

But no matter what, she didn't do anything wrong, she just acted according to the rules, and she didn't want to die a bad death in her old age.

He glanced at the injured Chen Zhaoyi, put down the whip in his hand, walked to Concubine Shu, knelt on the ground, and begged, "If I hadn't warned you, I would have risked my life."

Xia Muling never looked at Mrs. Cui, and passed by her indifferently, helped Ye Yilan up from the ground, looked at the scars on her back, and asked with concern: "Sister, can you send the imperial doctor to come and take a look?"

"

Ye Yilan didn't speak, just took her hand away, raised her eyes slightly with her weak body, and looked at Yu Ziling. Ziling understood at a glance, leaned slightly and said: "Concubine Shu, there is no need to ask the imperial doctor.

Yes, please come back."

Please come back?

Seeing that she didn't want to see him, why did she drive him away as soon as he came? If he hadn't come here, she wouldn't be so peaceful now.

She didn't understand what Ye Yilan thought about this matter, and the relationship between them became more and more distant. The emperor once warned her that she was not allowed to enter the Qinlan Palace, which meant that she could not see her.

The two of them really don't understand.

"How can this be done? This wound must be very painful. Let Ziling go ask Dr. Xiao. After all, this person is the person that my sister trusts the most..."

"I hope my concubine Shu will stay."

Zi Ling knew that her Majesty didn't want to see anyone at this moment, so she stepped forward to stop her and thanked her: "I brought your Majesty to express my gratitude to Concubine Shu for coming. After all, this is a place of right and wrong. Concubine Shu has her own intentions. Naturally, my concubine knows about it, and she still hopes to see you."

Concubine, please don’t let down your good intentions."

It doesn't matter if she really doesn't want to see him.

He sighed and said, "If anything happens to my sister, you must tell me."

"Yes, I will definitely do it, slave."

Mrs. Cui raised her eyes so that Concubine Shu could look at each other. Her frightened and bewildered eyes looked away randomly, her trembling hands were supported on the ground, and her heart kept wandering randomly.

Xia Muling looked at Ms. Cui condescendingly and scolded her with stern eyes: "I'm warning you that if there are any injuries on Chen Zhaoyi's body, I will report it to the emperor."

"In the future, I will never dare to attack Chen Zhaoyi again. I hope that Concubine Shu will spare my life."

After hearing Concubine Shu's warning, she didn't dare to attack Chen Zhaoyi again even if she had ten courages.

Her eyes looked at Ye Yilan, with a hint of bitter smile, and she said calmly: "Your life is your own, you know how to keep it."

No one can decide a person's life or death. You can keep your life as long as you want. Live just for yourself, no.

"Yes, I understand."

As soon as Ye Yilan stepped into the threshold, she heard Xia Muling's words and smiled softly. But she looked like this at the moment and was living for herself.

What she said just now was the "past love"; she had no choice but to laugh it off, as she and he were the past love.

Regardless of whether he is in trouble or not, no one is allowed to talk about the love between them at will.

At that moment, it seemed that she didn't recognize Xia Muling, or maybe she was overly concerned.

Zi Ling closed the door and took a look at the actions outside the door. After Concubine Shu left, Mrs. Cui looked at this place with unwilling and angry eyes. But seeing her so scared, she felt...

funny.

Then he walked to the dressing table and took the wound medicine that he always carried. This medicine was provided by everyone around the emperor in case of emergency.

He signaled Caifeng to bring the empress to the bedside, and saw the hideous scars on her back. Fortunately, the whip did not leave any wounds.

As soon as the medicine was applied, Ye Yilan's hands gripped the quilt tightly, but her brows tightened. Her mind should not be attached to his figure at this moment.

Caifeng looked at the wound and sighed silently.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Shu has good intentions, why do you refuse?" She has always been puzzled by what she did just now.

The emperor will definitely be soft-hearted towards his empress. Once he knows about it, he will naturally not disregard his empress' safety. After all, the emperor is not a cruel person.

Hearing this, Ye Yilan slowly put on her clothes and said in a weak voice: "Everyone knows about my relationship with Concubine Shu, and I don't want to implicate her for this matter."

In fact, apart from this, I still have some worries in my heart.

It’s not that he didn’t know that she was trying her best to please the Empress Dowager. Although he used the excuse that she was ill, the Empress Dowager wanted him to have an heir. Naturally, she pretended not to force him, but once this matter came out, she couldn’t.

If something unexpected happens, Xia Muling will definitely be there for you.

As long as she thought about this, she would not be able to meet his woman.

She also wanted to be selfish and willful for once. This time, she would truly live for herself.

Caifeng came with tea, saw the empress drinking it, and then said calmly: "Empress, if I say something you don't like to hear, it's time to avoid suspicion. Concubine Shu does this as if she's watching a joke."

, to tell others about her generosity."

I don’t know if the empress would have such a view at this time.

"Caifeng, just say this in front of me." Looking at Caifeng, I was really afraid that one day she would not be able to control her mouth.

But when I think about it carefully, I wonder why she has such thoughts.

Ziling saw her concubine looking deep in thought and asked softly: "Have you noticed something?"

This time, she knew that the empress wanted to take the opportunity to find out who was the mastermind behind this, and the only person in the harem who wanted her to be completely defeated was the empress. That day, she saw that the empress was obviously extremely confident about this matter, so she

This concludes that there is poison in Qinlan Palace.

But after having a detailed talk with the empress that night, I realized that even if the empress wanted to harm her, how could she do it herself, and how could she drag herself into trouble for the sake of her position as empress.

Someone must be causing trouble in this matter.

But today, Concubine Shu is the only one here. I wonder what the empress thinks?

He nodded and said, "I always feel that she has changed a bit."

She never thought that Xia Muling would come. If she had followed her past temperament, she would not be like this now, not wanting to talk to anyone.

Everything now must be guarded against.
To be continued...
