Tears of humiliation fell one drop at a time. She was trembling with hatred. She was forced to eat all the meatballs, and then licked up the soup on the floor... The palace people let go of her and left in disgust. Go. Zhao Waner collapsed and lay there, sobbing in pain. She had never suffered such a shame and humiliation. She didn’t know how long she cried. When she had cried enough, she got up from the ground, wiped the tears from her face, and stumbled away. When he got to the bed, he dug out a bag of silver from the brocade box, ran out of the inner hall, and knocked on the palace door. Not long after, a little palace maid of thirteen or fourteen timidly opened the palace door. She looked at With blood stains on her face, Zhao Waner asked with a bit of concern: "Mother, are you okay?"

She was originally a palace maid of Feiyue Palace, her name was Qing'er. She had been rewarded by Zhao Waner. It was because of that reward that she was able to relieve her urgent need and saved her mother who was seriously ill and needed money for medical treatment, so she was very fond of Zhao Waner. I have always been grateful. Zhao Waner was sent to the cold palace, so she used the money she saved to trust her connections and came to the cold palace to serve Zhao Waner. Because she was junior and young, she could not speak about many things in the cold palace. It snowed in the afternoon. Yuanlai, when Zhao Waner was targeted, she had no ability to stop her. In order to preserve the last trace of her connections, she had no choice but to endure without saying anything or showing up. The palace officials were all tired, so they asked her to stay vigil in this cold palace. Qing'er didn't have any objections, it was just as she wanted. So as soon as Zhao Waner knocked on the palace door, Qing'er came. Zhao Waner naturally recognized that this palace maid was from the Feiyue Palace. There was something flashing in her eyes. Overjoyed, she held the back of Qing'er's hand tightly. Her nose was sore and she said with a choked voice: "You are a loyal girl. Don't worry, as long as I gain power again, I will never treat you badly."

Qing'er was so flattered that she replied with sincerity: "What did you say? It's my blessing to be able to serve you by your side."

During this period of time, Zhao Waner has tasted all the warmth and coldness of human kindness. Since she was thrown into the cold palace, the palace servants who were once loyal to her and flattered her have all changed their faces. They have become condescending and speak with their nostrils raised. She asked them to do something, but even if she gave them money, they were not willing to go. She really agreed, and the trees fell and the hozens scattered, and the people left and the tea cooled down. Zhao Waner didn't expect that until now, there would still be such a loyal little girl. The girl accompanied her. She squeezed Qing'er's hand gratefully, and stuffed a bag of silver into Qing'er's hand. Qing'er's face was full of confusion, and she looked at Zhao Waner in a daze: "Mother, you What are you doing? I can't ask for your money... You are here in the cold palace, money is what protects your life, so you should put it away quickly."

Zhao Waner wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, approached Qing'er's ear, and whispered a few words in a low voice. Qing'er was stunned for a while. Zhao Waner saw that she was hesitant, so she couldn't help but beg in a hurry: "Good girl, I am really There is no other way out. Just take this bag of silver and go to Eunuch Zhou... He used to be mine. If he learns that I am the one who is looking for him, he will definitely do as I say. , I came to deliver the message to His Majesty..." Qing'er regained consciousness and nodded to Zhao Waner: "Don't worry, Madam, I will do as you said, but you are taking a risk... I am a little worried."

There was a bit of gloom in Zhao Waner's eyes. She pulled her lips and sneered, looking at the cold palace without any warmth: "Instead of living here and letting others bully me, why not fight to the death? Maybe I will win the bet?"

"I, Zhao Waner, have never been someone who just sits and waits for death. I will take revenge on all those who have owed me or insulted me. You go, my moment of glory has just begun from this moment."

Qing'er's eyes were filled with worry, and she knelt on her knees: "My queen, you must remember to take good care of yourself, I will retire."

Zhao Waner was so moved that she personally helped Qing'er up. "Good girl... I will remember you. You are a good person. Don't worry, if I am still alive this time, I will not forget you."

Qing'er responded with red eyes, choked with sobs, and the master and servant parted ways. - Xue Yuan took care of the wounds on her face, then went to the imperial study room with tea in hand. She did some repair makeup on her face, and put on some makeup. The bloody marks scratched by Zhao Waner were hidden bit by bit. She did not intend to let the emperor see the scars on her face... Otherwise, the scene would not be able to continue. Xue Yuan held a bowl of tea and smiled sweetly. Stepping into the imperial study room, the emperor was sitting behind the desk reviewing memorials. She held the tea cup virtuously, walked to the emperor and put the tea in his hand, then walked behind him, raised her arms and rubbed him gently. Squeezing his shoulders. "Your Majesty, you have worked hard dealing with government affairs. Please rest for a while."

"I'll give you a squeeze on your shoulders. Please relax first."

When the emperor saw Xue Yuan coming, a gentle smile overflowed from his eyebrows. He put down the brush, raised his hand to hold her weak and boneless hand, pulled her into his arms and kissed her. .Having not seen Xue Yuan for a long time, he actually missed her a little. He missed her smell especially. He couldn't help lowering his head and sniffing her body. Xue Yuan's body was a little itchy by his movements, and she He couldn't help but smile. The emperor's eyes gradually deepened, and he began to kiss Xue Yuan's snow-white skin. For a moment, the atmosphere in the whole room became ambiguous and hot. When he couldn't help himself, the emperor took off his clothes. Xueyuan's coat... Just when this was about to happen, Eunuch Zhou suddenly ran in from outside: "Your Majesty is not in good condition. News came from the cold palace that Wan Gui is about to die."

The emperor suddenly frowned, his eyes full of displeasure. Eunuch Zhou's words were like a bucket of cold water, completely pouring on his enthusiasm. He pushed Xue Guiren away and looked at Eunuch Zhou with a stern face. "What's going on? It's okay. , why did it suddenly stop working?”

Eunuch Zhou shook his head, with a look of confusion on his face. "I don't know yet. The servant in Leng Palace sent word that Wan Gui had abdominal pain after drinking a bowl of soup... and then he vomited a few mouthfuls of blood."

"I have sent the imperial physician to see you."

Xue Yuan raised her eyebrows, and there was a hint of smile in her eyes. Sure enough, Zhao Waner finally couldn't hold back and wanted to take action. It seemed that her stimulation and humiliation really had a big effect. When the emperor heard this, His face suddenly darkened. After drinking a bowl of soup, he suffered from abdominal pain and vomited blood? This was obviously a sign of poisoning? His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly stood up and walked outside without saying a word. Xueyuan stood there, staring at the emperor's leaving figure. She did not ask to go with him. She left the royal study very calmly, returned to her residence, and immediately found the spy who had been planted, and sent the news out of the palace. The emperor and Eunuch Zhou hurried to the cold palace. The imperial doctor was already checking her pulse. Not long after, the imperial doctor came out of the inner hall. He quickly knelt down in front of the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Gui Wan's situation is a bit difficult. She is poisoned. This kind of poison is rare among ministers. It may take some time to develop an antidote. But... ministers are afraid that Lord Wan may not be able to wait any longer."

The emperor's heart completely hit the bottom. Although he was a little tired of Zhao Waner, he never thought of letting her die. Even though he let Long Wei poison her voice, he didn't want to take her life. means. The relationship that has lasted for so many years does not disappear just because it disappears. Although he also knows some of her true face, he still has not forgotten her in his heart. Now, he suddenly heard that she was about to die. He couldn't help but feel a faint feeling in his heart. He was in pain. He could not accept this result... If Zhao Waner no longer existed in the years to come, his life might lose a lot of meaning. After all, his glory and glory in these years were all due to her. The emperor looked at the imperial doctor with an ugly face and warned in a low voice: "If Wan Gui cannot survive, I will let all the people from your imperial hospital be buried with her."

"I can't prepare the antidote. Come and see me. Get lost..." Several imperial doctors were extremely surprised. They didn't expect that although Wan Gui had fallen out of favor, the emperor still cared about her. It seems that this fall from favor may turn around at any time. Ah. They were frightened and quickly begged for mercy, then resigned and returned to the Imperial Hospital to develop an antidote. The emperor was in a complicated mood and asked Eunuch Zhou to guard the door. He stepped into the inner hall alone, wanting to see Zhao Waner. He stepped over the height. He walked step by step through the high threshold and walked into the inner hall. When he saw the scarred and ugly face lying on the bed, he couldn't help being shocked. He quickly sat down and held Zhao Waner's hand tightly. : "Wan'er, what's wrong with you? Who bullied you? Why are there so many injuries on your face?"

Zhao Waner raised her eyelids and slowly raised her eyes to look at the emperor. Seeing the worry in his eyes, she couldn't help but laugh at herself. "Your Majesty, are you worried about your concubines?"

As soon as Zhao Waner opened her mouth, the emperor's eyes were shocked. He looked at her dumbfounded: "You, how can you speak?"

Didn't he let Cao Rong mute her voice with poison? Zhao Waner raised her eyebrows and had no intention of hiding it from the emperor: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that the poison was delivered to you personally by my concubine? Poison can be used Here you go, how can I not have the antidote?"

"Your Majesty, you are so cruel. Without saying a word, you asked Long Wei to silence my voice with poison. Is it because you don't let me speak? Can the past events you have hidden be buried forever? "

The emperor's face suddenly sank. "Do you still want to threaten me? If you dare to do that again, I will send you to hell now."

Zhao Waner's heart was completely dead. The heart was extremely cold and could no longer produce any warmth. Since he was so cold and ruthless, she had nothing to feel guilty about, right? Zhao Waner tugged at the corners of her stiff lips, He asked word for word. "What your Majesty said means that you treat me as an enemy. Do you still have this concubine in your heart?"

"I'm going to die now, do you still talk to me in such a cold tone? Your old love is not as good as your new love... You are so impatient when you talk to me. Send me Even if you go to hell, Your Majesty will blurt it out, haha... Compared with the love you showed me in the past, it is really ironic."

The emperor frowned, not liking her harsh words very much. "I have so many things to do, so I finally found time to look at you. Are you sure you want to talk to me in this tone? I know that you are resentful... but you I don’t even think about it, what have you done?”

Zhao Waner gritted her teeth, stood up, and looked at the emperor with red eyes. "I don't know what I did wrong. Why don't you, the emperor, tell me what I did wrong... It's because I don't have your new love's youthful appearance." She's beautiful, or am I not as good as her in pleasing you?"

"As soon as she appeared, it seemed as if our past was all a dream. Ha... Who said that you would hold my hand and grow old together with me? Who said that you would marry me as your wife and treat me for the rest of your life? Okay. I'm not dead yet, and this life is not over yet. You just moved on, changed your heart, and fell in love with someone else."

"Your Majesty, tell me, what did I do wrong that God would punish me like this?"

When the emperor saw her, he showed no remorse at all and was still stubborn. He couldn't help but feel a little tired. He rubbed his brows impatiently: "Didn't you kill the queen's child back then? In order to get away with it, you actually did this Let Concubine Hui take the blame, causing her to stay in the cold palace for so many years. Over the years, the children in the palace have died one after another. It was all your work. Don't you know how many lives have been touched on your hands? ?”

Zhao Waner sneered. Facing the emperor's question, she showed no sign of cowardice. "Oh, yes, I have killed many people, and my hands have been stained with a lot of blood. But what exactly is everything I have done?" For whom?"

"Who forced me to become a murderous devil step by step? Xiao Chongshan, you clearly said when you married me that you would cherish me and not let me down. But nothing you have done in these years is not Are you failing me and hurting me?"

"Over the years, you can count how many women you have slept with and how many women you have had children with. I stayed alone in the empty room all night, enduring the jealousy in my heart, watching you take other women into my arms. Double the favor. Your Majesty, I love you so much, how can I endure you hurting my heart like this?"

"It was you who forced me. It was you who forced me to eradicate each of my love rivals and eliminate each of my love rivals' children."

The emperor didn't expect that she would put all the sins on him? Was it all because of him that she killed those children and did all the sins? It was simply ridiculous. He stood up suddenly, shaking his arms, Pointing at Zhao Waner: "You... you are simply hopeless. I am the king of a country, how can I live with you as a woman? What emperor doesn't have three palaces and six courtyards, and dozens of concubines?"

"Besides, the former dynasty and the harem are closely related. I recruited women into the palace for the sake of protecting the country and the country."

Zhao Waner's face was full of sarcasm: "For Jiangshan Sheji? Haha, what a high-sounding reason... Jiang Meiren before, and Liu Cairen three years ago. They were all promoted from palace maids. Your Majesty, you and Let me tell you, they are closely related to the official from the previous government?"

This question left the emperor completely speechless. His face was extremely ugly, and he stared at Zhao Waner with his eyes wide open. "You...you jealous woman, you are like this now, are you sure?" Do you want to continue arguing with me on this topic?"

Zhao Waner couldn't help sobbing anymore. She lay back on the bed, her voice hoarse from crying: "Yes, I am about to die. No one will care anymore. How many concubines will the emperor favor? If I had known earlier. Today, when I met you for the first time, I should have avoided seeing you."

"If I don't fall in love with you, maybe I can find a compatible husband and get married to him and live a normal life. I won't become crazy and become a murderer just because I love a man. I will give birth to A pair of children will live happily together with grandchildren and live a stable life..." The emperor's anger was suddenly soothed by her words. In the end, Zhao Waner loved him too much. Because of love. , made her lose herself, and made her become so cruel and cold-blooded. I am afraid that if you look at the entire harem, except Zhao Waner, there should be no other woman who can love him. His love is so crazy, right? The emperor looked at Zhao Waner with a bit of complexity in his eyes. " Don't be afraid, I will let the people from Tai Hospital do their best to save you. No matter what mistakes you make, based on our past feelings, I will not let you die."

"You have made a great contribution to me by staying with me all these years. I...naturally won't be so cold-blooded and not care about your life or death."

Zhao Waner raised her sleeves and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She looked at the emperor with tearful eyes, and her voice couldn't help but soften a little. "Actually, if I really die, it will be a kind of relief. Over the years, my hands have been stained with blood. , I am not indifferent. I often dream at night, dreaming about those people who were harmed by me..." "Your Majesty, are you the same as me? You also often dream about those innocent souls who died tragically. Asking for our lives?"

The emperor's expression changed, and he scolded him coldly: "Zhao Waner, you are talking nonsense again. If you continue to talk nonsense like this, I will not care about your life or death..." Zhao Waner couldn't help but burst into laughter. She looked at the expression on the emperor's face. There was a flash of panic, and her heart was full of irony. So, could he be afraid? He could also dream, and would the ghosts of those who were killed by him come to seek their lives in his dream? She raised her arms and rushed The emperor waved: "Your Majesty, don't be upset. I just want to joke with you... Come here, I have other things to say to you."

"You can come see me today. Even if I am dead now, I am already satisfied. You still have me in your heart, right?"

The emperor had just seen her hysterical and crazy side, but now he saw that she suddenly became gentle and returned to the way he liked before. He couldn't help but feel a little dazed. His heart softened, he had no worries, and his head started to heat up again. He sat down and got close to Zhao Waner. Zhao Waner's voice was a bit coquettish: "Your Majesty, can you hug Waner again? Waner really misses your arms..." "Waner is about to die, just treat it as such. Quan Wan'er's last wish, okay?"
