C42 I can't get off the stage myself
Now was not the time to fuss about these things. Bai Bingxuan found the right opportunity and slowly opened his mouth: "I say, big sister Xiao. I wonder if you've heard about what happened last night?"
Xiao Linger felt uncomfortable all over when she called him "Big Sister Xiao" like that, but it was precisely her words that caused her to know that she was about to get to the main topic at hand.
He shook his head and mumbled, "Did something happen last night? I don't know? "
"I heard from someone earlier this morning that Your Majesty had left the main hall with the Beauty Lin in his arms, and that the Your Majesty was here to celebrate for Yuwen and the High Priest. All the officials of the imperial court were present, so think about what kind of bewitching technique did that woman use on Your Majesty to make him do such a stupid thing?" Bai Bingxuan spoke nonchalantly, waiting to see how Xiao Linger would react.
Compared to Bai Bingxuan's hateful and hateful personality, Xiao Linger was much calmer. He smelled the fragrance of the tea in the cup and elegantly took a sip.
"Little sister, it should be more than a year since we entered the palace together, right? Think about how many concubines the Your Majesty has favored in the past year and more. But who could truly remain in Lou Lan's harem? Forget about the Queen, the only girls who can occupy a seat in this harem are the two of us. It would be hard to see the Your Majesty even once a year, not to mention the fact that we are still alone in the Western Palace. " After saying that, Xiao Linger looked at her, hoping that she would understand the meaning behind her words.
Bai Bingxuan could understand her meaning behind her words, it just meant that the Your Majesty was just interested in the Beauty Lin for a short period of time, after a period of time, she would get tired of it and leave the Beauty Lin at the back of her mind.
But this time she did not think so. Just based on the matter of that woman eloping with the Second Prince of Dong Ou State, if it was any other woman, including and herself, they would all have died without a burial ground. There was absolutely no chance for them to recover.
"Big sister Xiao, this girl is different from the flowers and plants of the past. I feel that one day, she will definitely climb onto our heads." She gritted her teeth in hatred at the thought of that woman.
"Little sister, everything needs to be treated a bit better. Your Majesty is the Sovereign King of the Loulan State, whoever he likes, this is the prince's power, as the woman behind the Your Majesty, we shouldn't care too much about her, as long as we see the Your Majesty happy, it's fine, right?" Her rhetorical question made Bai Bingxuan feel embarrassed.
Bai Bingxuan forced out a smile on his face. He didn't expect that this woman wouldn't take advantage of her, it was too infuriating. But who knew if what she said was the same as what she was thinking?
"Sister Xiao is right. It seems like sister will have to learn more from Sister Xiao in the future. However, prince loves that Beauty Lin so much, I heard that he has been staying over with her for the past few days." Bai Bingxuan stared at the expression on her face, hoping to see her weakness.
However, she was afraid that she would be disappointed on this point. She had never cared about who Your Majesty liked or favored, as long as Your Majesty occasionally came to see her. She was extremely clear about her own body.
Xiao Linger gave an elegant smile, dispelling her gaze, causing Bai Bingxuan to be unable to sit still any longer.
"I can see that big sister Xiao hasn't even tidied up her hair. Since that's the case, I think I'll go back first. I'll chat with big sister another day." She stood up without saying anything. Facing this woman, she always felt that she was inferior.
"Very good. Take care, sister, and I will not send you off." Seeing that she wanted to leave impatiently, she naturally had to cooperate.
Bai Bingxuan politely smiled and turned around, bringing Dong'er and the old granny with him as he quickly left the Yuchun Palace. The moment he left the door, the smile on his face vanished, to be replaced with a cold and sinister face.
Seeing that Imperial Concubine Hui had left, He Cai ran back to ask his master, "Is the Empress alright? What does Imperial Concubine Hui want to do today?"
With He Cai's help as he walked back into the inner room, Xiao Linger sat in front of the dressing table. She looked at herself in the copper mirror and replied indifferently: "She wanted me to sow dissension, and wanted me to intervene in the matters of the Your Majesty and Beauty Lin.
"Mistress, are you not jealous of that Beauty Lin at all?" As a woman, if it were her, she would definitely be jealous.
Xiao Linger held He Cai's hand, and followed by his side for a long time. Of course she understood what kind of character this girl had.
"He Cai, look at my body. It's already been one year, and if not for Your Majesty ordering doctors to take care of me, I might have already been burnt out. It would be a lie to say that I am not jealous, but as long as Your Majesty is happy, I am also happy. You have seen that Beauty Lin before, I believe she is also a kind woman, once she goes to the Japanese palace, you will serve her, free of charge! While talking, Xiao Linger seemed to have already predicted the future ahead of time, and arranged for He Cai's destination.
"Empress ?" He Cai was moved by her words to the point of kneeling on the ground. This palace was filled with deceit, she never thought that she would meet such a kind master in this life.
He Cai looked at her with teary eyes. If master's body wasn't so good that she couldn't have children, Your Majesty wouldn't even be able to do that. She was really unconvinced for master.
She took out a handkerchief and wiped away the tears on her face. "Alright, don't cry anymore. I'm still fine. I was a bit hungry when I slept. Can you get me something to eat?"
"Alright, Empress, just you wait. This servant will definitely go and return quickly." Wiping away his tears, he stood up and ran out with a smile.
Looking at He Cai's leaving figure, Xiao Linger sighed. She was extremely envious and jealous, but she still hoped that the Your Majesty would sincerely treat the Beauty Lin well and not let any other woman down.
In the Immortal Hall, Shan Yuwu rejected Helian Zhi's invitation because she knew that Yuwen Tuo would definitely go. She did not want to be in a relationship with him, so at least she needed to calm down for the next few days.
The Immortal Hall had always been the residence of all previous generations of High Priest. When Elder Mu Yue entered the palace, she also settled in there, but this time, the master of the Immortal Hall, Shan Yuwu, was not present.
Looking at her reflection in the mirror, even after all these years, she had still not let go of her feelings for Ta Ta. Even now that she was sitting in the position of Loulan State, she still couldn't let go of her heart.
"Your Majesty has arrived ?" As he was thinking, he heard a resounding voice.
Shan Yuwu immediately stood up and walked out of the hall to welcome the Your Majesty.
"High Priest, no need to be so courteous, quickly get up!"
Whether it was in the past or now, Helian Zhi had always been so protective and gentle toward her. This point was something that even Bai Bingxuan took to heart, but she did not dare to say it out loud.
"All of you can leave. This is none of your business." Shan Yuwu retreated out of the hall, leaving only the Your Majesty and her behind.
Since Your Majesty came to find her, he believed that she had something important to discuss with him. After knowing each other for so many years, she was still able to read his thoughts.
Helian Zhi walked to the front of the hall and sat down on the yellow pear carved wooden chair. Shan Yuwu personally poured a cup of tea for him and then sat in front of him.
Helian Zhi looked at Shan Yuwu, and if she wasn't my Loulan State, she would have known that he had something on his mind before he could even open his mouth. She decided not to beat around the bush with her and went straight to the point, "Yu Wu, just now Tuo told me, you met the Voodoo Doctor Hei, do you know how he is doing? Where did you go again? "
"So it's this matter. It seems like he should have told you everything. Why are you asking me?" Actually, she had already guessed Helian Zhi's plan a long time ago.
Hearing her tone, Helian Zhi felt a bit of displeasure in his heart. Could he be angry?
He put down the teacup in his hand and stood up as he thought to himself, then he continued: "Yu Wu, are you following Ta Ta?"
"No, you're thinking too much. In fact, I really don't know where the Witch Doctor went, but from the tone of his voice, I can tell that he already has an idea. I believe that he will return soon with the method to remove the curse. You don't have to be too anxious!" Following him, she stood up and walked over to his side. She also had to pay a certain amount of responsibility for this matter.
Helian Zhi didn't say anything, he only raised his head to look at the floating clouds in the sky. Three years had passed and he had already endured three years.
For the sake of not revealing his secret, he would drink the woman's blood every month to suppress the Gu worms in his body. Afterwards, he would kill all these women to silence them and even burn them or bury them alive.
He knew all of these things ?
Shan Yuwu saw that Helian Zhi did not say a word, and continued speaking behind him: "That night I saw that woman, she was very beautiful, very beautiful ?."
"Yes, she is the most beautiful woman that I, Helian Zhi, have ever seen in my life, what a pity ?" Helian Zhi suddenly stopped, as though he was thinking about something else.
"It's a pity that you can't keep her heart, even if it's someone you can keep."
Everyone was a woman, so Shan Yuwu had a very careful observation that night. Judging from the woman's words and actions, she did not have any feelings for him, and she even had an extremely disgusted feeling. From what Xiao Boyi said later on, he could accurately guess the answer.
After Helian Zhi heard these words, he suddenly turned around and hugged her tightly in his embrace. Lowering his head, he buried his face in her neck and asked her emotionally: "Yu Wu, tell me, why is it that you guys don't have me in your hearts? "Why?"
The hall was completely silent, as if the sound of a needle dropping on the ground could be heard.
Shan Yuwu did not push him away, but instead hugged him, and softly whispered into his ear: "Regarding this, I am very sorry, Li Shan. I think you understand, I had been in love with Tuo Ta since I was young, and that's why I don't have you in my heart. As for that Beauty Lin, I do not understand her in the slightest, so I am unable to answer you. But I can see that she is a kind-hearted woman who likes freedom and is not restricted. "
After saying that, Helian Zhi released Shan Yuwu and looked down at her condescendingly.
The two of them continued to stare at each other, neither of them saying a word, until Helian Zhi left by himself ?
It was rare that she would care about a girl. Whether it was in the public or private, or being responsible for what happened three years ago, she should make up for the loss.
