Chapter 31(1/2)
At night, Jiuhua Palace was chilling, and the air was filled with humid water vapor.
The palace is close to the mountains, and the winding corridor stands on the water surface. There are large lotus leaves and lotus flowers on both sides, filled with light wild fragrance.
Yingying's residence is exactly the same as in her previous life. It is the central royal courtyard with the best and coolest scenery, called Qingboju. Most of the people living here are royal relatives and nobles. Qin Rong and Zhaoshi are here, and the prince is only separated from Yingying by a few rooms.
Xiaodai helped Yingying lay the bed neatly. After making hot water, she hesitated and asked: "Don't the girl really need a servant to stay and serve her?"
Yingying wanted to say no, but looking around the room that was exactly the same as in her previous life, she changed her words: "You... stay here tonight and accompany me."
Yingying heard the sneer from the system, as if she was mocking her timidity.
Xiaodai naturally couldn't hear this. She hadn't served her own girl in close proximity for a long time. She learned that she could stay tonight and rolled up her sleeves, "That servant is waiting for the girl to take a shower!"
"No need." Yingying smiled, "You go and see if there is any food, I'll just wash it myself."
Xiaodai nodded and was very happy to leave Qingboju.
In her previous life, Yingying liked to be served closely, but since she became Qinrong's princess, there were always red marks of all sizes on Yingying's skin. At first, she was not aware of this, until one time she heard the two maids serving her bathing and chatting secretly.
A maid said, "How come the seal on the empress can't be eliminated for so many days? Could it be that the crown prince's prince is always..."
"Shh--"
Another maid suppressed her voice, "Didn't you notice that the marks are deep or shallow? I heard from the nanny that the brighter the color means the earlier the time. I think it's been a while since the dark color."
"Oh my God, didn't this thing go away in one or two days? But I just saw a mark on the empress's neck that was so dark. I think His Highness used extremely heavy force at that time."
"More than that, I have seen bites on the Empress. Can you believe it? Before serving the Empress, I don't believe that our Wen Ya Crown Prince will be so fierce in the room."
The two little maids laughed together, "This is a good thing, which means that our Empress is blessed. No wonder Sister Xiaodai always thinks of a way to nourish the Empress. It turns out that she has known it a long time ago."
"It's just a pity." The maids didn't know that Yingying had heard everything, and the conversation became more and more bold. "It's a pity that we are not as lucky as the Queen. If you can get the Prince's pity, even if you only have one night of spring with the Prince, I will not live in vain."
The laughter came, and the little maid spoke more and more presumptuously: "You are asking the prince to pity you? You can't forget the marks on the empress. Do you think you can have the blessing of the empress?"
She didn't know whether Yingying was lucky at that time. She only knew that the laughter of the maids was too harsh. When she heard others talking about herself like this, she felt hot and uncomfortable, as if someone was watching the things she was pressed on the couch by Qin Rong.
She felt very uncomfortable. Even when she learned that most people in the East Palace knew about this, she kicked over the table in the house in anger. Qin Rong was not in the East Palace at that time, and Yingying, who was so upset that she beat the two maids to death without suppression, which made the entire East Palace people panic and were very afraid of her.
【What happened later?】
After Xiaodai left, Yingying was the only one left in the house. She talked about these old things to the system while she was idle. Yingying lay in the bathtub and recalled it reluctantly, "Later, the prince's brother came back. He told me that he could not kill people casually in the future, and asked me what the two maids had made."
[Then how did you answer?] The system is very interested in this matter.
Yingying bulged her cheeks and replied depressedly: "I didn't answer him. Because she was still angry, she kicked the table over in front of him. I think it's all his fault, so I slapped him when he hugged me."
The system seemed to be scared, and it hesitated for a while: [You... are willing to hit Qinrong?]
【No, how dare you hit him?】
This shows how stupid Yingying is to commit suicide.
Yingying shrank into the bathtub, her little face was flushed with heat. She covered her face with her hands and said ashamed: "I'm so angry. I was angry at that time, he dared to come and hug me. He naturally attacked him on impulse, so he didn't think about the consequences."
Or Yingying would not think about the consequences at all, because she didn't think Qin Rong was so dangerous at that time. When he had a good temper, he would only let her bully him.
[Then tell me quickly, what if you hit Qin Rong?]
The system's curiosity is based on the pain of Yingying's unbearable return. Yingying doesn't want to answer, but as the system asks, she can't help but think of the scene at that time.
What else can be done?
Qin Rong was slapped by her in the face. Yingying not only did not fear but also pounced on him to bite his neck. Later, probably because she saw Yingying getting tormented, Qin Rong grabbed her and pressed her directly on the couch. All kinds of indescribable things were too intense and fierce. In the end, Yingying's anger was gone.
That time, Yingying didn't stay for three days, Qin Rong personally helped her take a bath every day. After learning the reason why Yingying was angry, she held her face and coaxed her with a very good temper: "Since Yingying doesn't like others seeing these marks, I will help you wash them myself in the future."
Yingying thought about these things for a long time and didn't say anything again. Under the urging of the system, she only summarized this matter in a few words. She said: "I cried for three days."
The system was silent again, and then he said three words: [You deserve it.]
As if he was confused, the system said again: [You dare to thug him in front of him after killing two people. I feel that it is lighter for him to cry for five days.]
Yingying buried herself in the water, but knew she was in trouble and simply ignored the system.
In short, since then, Yingying no longer likes to be served by others, and even now she has not changed her habit. Yingying feels very sorry for the two maids. She was depressed when she came out of the bathtub. Now that she thinks about it, she feels that Qin Rong has been lighter in punishment.
Or Qin Rong did not punish her at that time. If she hadn't bitten and made a fuss at him, Qin Rong wouldn't have punished her at all.
"By the way, don't you know these things?" Yingying put on her clothes and asked in confusion.
The system replied; [Before the death of No. 001, the data about you was transferred to me, but I was too lazy to load all of them, and only extracted important parts.]
“What is the important part?”
As soon as Yingying finished speaking, Xiaodai pushed the door with a dinner plate. She looked into the room with a puzzled look and asked, "Are the girl talking just now?"
Yingying tidied up her clothes and pretended to be blank. "No, you heard it wrong."
Due to Xiaodai's interruption, Yingying's dialogue with the system was temporarily terminated, and Yingying simply forgot about this matter.
Jiuhua Palace is worthy of being a holy place for summer vacation. Yingying has never felt the heat flow since she came here. When she went to bed at night, she felt a little cold while lying on the couch. She rolled the thin blanket on her body and tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. Her sighs from time to time alarmed Xiaodai outside the room.
"Girl, can't you sleep?"
Yingying sat up from the couch, "Maybe she slept too long during the day and couldn't sleep now."
Xiaodai seemed to be about to push the door and come in, "Then... I will talk to the girl for a while?"
"No, you go to bed, I'll be fine in a while."
Xiaodai responded, and as the footsteps got farther away, there was soon no sound outside the door.
Fearing to startle Xiaodai again, Yingying gently stepped down the couch and walked to the window. Speaking of which, Yanboju was built on the water surface, and outside the window was an endless water view. The breeze blew with the wild fragrance of lotus flowers. Yingying's mind was full of scenes from her previous life, and she couldn't escape it.
[What is the host thinking?] The system suddenly sounded.
Yingying tilted her head and looked at the lotus flowers on the water and replied in a low voice: "I'm thinking, why was I so stupid in my previous life?"
Although Yingying likes beautiful beauties, she just likes them. It can be said that Yingying is just a piece of white paper before entering this body, and the things she can contact after entering this body are very limited, let alone the level of intimacy between people.
Before coming to this Jiuhua Palace, Yingying had done the most excessive thing to Qin Rong. She tied him up and kissed him according to the ones she saw in the flower building. She didn't know what else to do. Later, Zhao Shi gave her a bottle of medicine, and she poured Qin Rong all over according to the method taught by Zhao Shi. Curiously, she even locked the door with curiousness.
It was she who took the initiative to give Qin Rong medicine, she ran to his room and locked the door. When Qin Rong held her unstable breath, Yingying happily hugged his neck. It was not until Qin Rong's actions towards her gradually exceeded her perception that Yingying realized that she was panic.
"Forget it, I'll go to bed." Yingying didn't want to think about it anymore. She lay back on the couch and forced herself to fall asleep soon, but she didn't expect that the dream would continue to spread when she woke up.
The fragrance of lotus flowers fills the room, and in the dream Yingying cries while crying and crying for pain.
In my memory, the gentle man became unprecedentedly strong. He pressed her eyes tightly and was so deep that she was terrifying. As the breath blended, Yingying was forced to breathe by him, and could only look at him with tears in her eyes.
The endless dream and the fragrance of lotus flowers coming towards me were intoxicating. Later, Yingying got up from the couch and ran out of the door.
Her messy hair was spread behind her shoulders, and Yingying shook her hands, and she could not open the door that she locked herself.
It was funny. When she locked the door, she thought not to let Qin Rong run away. Now she was the one who wanted to run away. She had already used up her strength, and Yingying had sore fingers that she couldn't even pry the door open. When she was anxious to kick the door, she hugged her hands. The man behind her pulled her into her arms and put her on her neck and her voice was magnetically hoarse: "Where are you going?"
Yingying's eyes were wet with crying. The arrogant lady, who was usually arrogant, looked very pitiful now. Her mouth was swollen and her eyes were full of tears. She thrust her nose and patted her hands on her waist, "I'm leaving, I'm going to complain to my aunt and say you're hitting me!"
"Fight?" A low laughter came to her ear. The person behind her kissed her cheek sideways and asked her with a smile: "Is this a bet?"
The force of his arms increased a little bit, and the breathing in his ears began to unstable again. Yingying felt that his waist was about to be broken by him. Her little hand pulled the door lock and tried to pull the door open. She screamed in a panic: "Qinrong, let me go! I don't want you anymore, I'm leaving here!"
The two words "Qinrong" were so shocked that Yingying in her sleep trembled. She watched her feet lifted off the ground by Qinrong and fell back into the soft bed. Qinrong grabbed her ankle and rubbed it gently, slowly saying: "Leave?"
He turned his head to look at the person on the couch, curled his thin lips and sighed: "It's probably too late to leave at this time."
"Didn't you say you want me to belong to you completely?"
"Yingying, you have succeeded."
The last sentence echoed in Yingying's dream, Yingying screamed and struggled to wake up.
It was just dawning, and Xiaodai heard the sound and pushed open the door. She didn't even bother to wear shoes. She hurried in and asked, "What's wrong with you, girl?"
Yingying gasped, and her cheeks were red and hot because she had the dream, and her whole body was soft and weak.
"It's okay, I just had a nightmare." Yingying calmed down and sent Xiaodai away in a few words.
When Xiaodai left, she lay alone on the couch and never dared to sleep anymore. She curled herself into a ball wrapped in a quilt, and completely fell into silence in the room, she whispered to the system: "This time, as long as I don't take the initiative to provoke Qin Rong, can I avoid what happened in my previous life?"
The system thought about the next chapter: [According to the data, there is indeed a high chance of avoiding it, but accidental interference is not ruled out.]
“What is accidental interference?”
【It is other people or things that change invisibly with your rebirth.】
Yingying didn't understand, and the system explained patiently when she saw her pitiful: [It's like the "lover murm" at the beginning. If you don't provoke Qin Rong, you do have a chance to avoid it, but because you have different attitudes when facing Empress Dowager Zhao Xuan in two lives, a series of invisible pushes made Prince Zhao Shi an unexpected interference. The reason why this unexpected interference is called accidental interference is because even I can't speculate what accident will happen.]
Yingying was stunned for a while, "So what you mean is that even if I don't take the initiative to drug Qin Rong this time, there may be a result that is exactly the same as in the previous life?"
【There is this possibility, but the probability of exactly the same is not high.】
[It is also possible that this medicine will have nothing to do with you when you are used on others, or that you are not proactive and someone else has given Qin Rong medicine. Of course, as long as you are not proactive, there is still a high possibility of spending your time in the end.]
Yingying was dizzy by the system, but she had to remember what it said seriously. Finally, she summarized two things: one was to avoid all contact with Prince Zhaoshi in Jiuhua Palace, and the other was to avoid all contact with Qin Rong in Jiuhua Palace.
As long as she avoids these two key figures, the possibility of her evasion of the "catastrophe" in her previous life will be maximized.
"Then I won't go out these few days." Yingying carefully calculated the time, thinking about when she gave Qin Rong medicine in her previous life.
After all, Jiuhua Palace is not an imperial palace. There are fewer restrictions here than in the palace, and there are many fun things.
Yingying remembers that in the days when she first came in her previous life, she went to the lake and went to the yard to hunt and ride horses. In short, she ran around in the palace every day and never stopped for a moment.
