Three years of game, many days and nights of calculating each other.
To Feng Wuyan, Queen Mother Hua's every move had already been patterned. As soon as she moved, Feng Wuyan knew what she wanted to do.
Of course, this also includes all the conversations in Shoukang Palace that determine the Hua family's major events.
"What the Imperial Concubine doesn't know is that these women were already prepared when you went south. They are the chess pieces that the Hua family has traveled all over the Yan Dynasty and carefully selected from all over the country, and replacing you is the purpose of their selection. "
Shen Mian held the fly whisk and said with a smile.
Like Feng Wuyan, his words did not avoid the seven medical women. On the contrary, he wanted them to hear them clearly.
"In the eyes of Queen Mother Hua and others, the Xiao family is a dog, and you are the chain around the dog's neck, forcing the dog to surrender to them. However, you are not in good health, and they are not sure whether they can raise you well. .
They are afraid that you will not be under control, and they are also afraid that you will die unexpectedly, so they have prepared countless back-up tactics, including turning other people into you when necessary. They will completely turn you into an obedient chain, firmly strangling Xiao. neck of home.
The Queen Mother knows this matter, King Qi knows it, and the eldest princess also knows it..."
Listening to Shen Mian's narration word for word, the expressions of the medical women changed obviously.
Except for Qiu Yan, who had her head bowed and froze in place, everyone else was trembling uneasily and tending to retreat.
Obviously, what Shen Mian said was true.
At least it is consistent with the part they know.
The seven of them were born differently and had different personalities. Some were the daughters of butchers, some were concubines of officials, and some even fell into prostitution.
But the Hua family's recruitment allowed them to see a better life, even if it means hurting others.
The Hua family does not do anything to deceive them and then make them do things, because the Queen Mother Hua has been running the harem for many years and knows best that loyalty gained by deception and coercion can easily be betrayed.
She needs a loyal, clear-headed dog, not a white-eyed wolf who turns his back on her after gaining status.
After all, she had already suffered such a loss from Feng Wuyan.
So these medical women not only know what they are doing, but they also compete with each other, and everyone wants to be the final winner.
However, as a result of their hard work and many attempts to show their faces in front of the Queen Mother, they began to learn various skills and were gradually trained to become Xiao Xiruo's lower-ranking substitutes.
It's not because they didn't work hard, it's because Xiao Xiruo far exceeded the expectations of Queen Mother Hua, King Qi, Princess Dachang and others.
She is sick, but she is miraculously able to control her illness.
He kept saying that he was going to die soon, but he never died.
She is weak, and it is clear that others can kill her with just one hand, but she is surrounded by masters, making it impossible for anyone to do anything.
At least it's impossible to do it quietly...
In the end, she had methods that were not inferior to those of officials in the DPRK, and captured the emperor's heart...
replace?
How to replace?
This is almost incomprehensible...
"So the Empress Dowager and others use this weapon to flatter the Emperor and cause you and the Emperor to misunderstand the value of it."
Shen Mian's tone was very regretful, but the bright smile on her face betrayed him.
Compared with his ease, those medical women had already knelt down and kowtowed, crying and begging Feng Wuyan and Xiao Xiruo for their lives.
But she spared their lives, would they spare her if they had the chance to replace her?
Xiao Xiruo thought about it and felt that she had finally found the reason why they had such negative emotions towards her that they wanted to kill her.
After all, it was her failure to get sick and die properly that made all their efforts go to waste~
She was very sorry.
So she chose to lean against Feng Wuyan, showing a light and innocent smile.
"What should we do? Your Majesty, I am so scared."
Feng Wuyan did not raise his head when he heard this. He seemed to be glued to Xiao Xiruo's body, bringing warmth from Xiao Xiruo's earlobes to his neck.
Just like a beast unconsciously encircling its territory, he also wants the bad rabbit to get his scent.
He said: "If you are good, don't be afraid."
Although there were only five words, Xiao Xiruo knew that she really didn't have to be afraid.
Because from the moment Shen Mian told her the matter word for word, she knew that Feng Wuyan had arranged everything.
Just like Wen Susu who had just received the news and came in from outside the palace.
Today she remembered how incompetent she was and was looking for a place to vent her manic emotions. This was just the right place!
Because Feng Wuyan, Xiao Xiruo, and Shen Mian all believed that these seven people had no appearance and were not sick, so she wanted to let them experience the imperial concubine's illness first.
Fortunately, when I go out as a scapegoat in the future, no one will notice my flaws.
It’s troublesome to treat the disease, but isn’t it easy to get the disease?
So Wen Susu assured Feng Wuyan and Xiao Xiruo, while Shen Mian acted as a supervisor to watch and learn.
As for the seven people who were howling like ghosts and wolves, Shen Mian thought they were too noisy and directly banned them manually.
Therefore, Xiao Xiruo, who was sitting beside the bed, and Feng Wuyan, who was holding her tightly, were soon the only ones left in the palace.
Xiao Xiruo did not break free from his grasp immediately, because the man's slightly trembling body and gradually blurred consciousness told her that he was getting sick again.
It's not so much a disease as a confusion of consciousness. He begins to repeat scenes over and over again that he doesn't want to see in his consciousness, which makes him angry and even crazy.
Some of these images are real, while others are the product of conscious fear.
Today Wen Susu told her that the initial scene of Feng Wuyan's confusion was based on reality. He recalled pain over and over again, accumulated hatred, and gradually became cold and gloomy.
As time went by, he began to fabricate images or memories, creating hallucinations that he was afraid of but unwilling to face.
Obviously, this is the beginning of his gradual transition from indifference and gloominess to violence and madness.
In the past few years, what Wen Susu could do was to make Feng Wuyan distinguish between illusion and reality as much as possible.
Tell him that the things in the fantasy will not happen, it is all false.
However, most of the time, she and Shen Mian just guarded each other quietly, because no matter how chaotic the situation was, the other party would basically not show it to them.
"My lord is cruel to himself, and I have only seen him with such a firm mind in my life. If not, he would have gone crazy long ago. It seems that you and my lord are in the same boat."
Thinking of Wen Susu's words this afternoon, Xiao Xiruo, who was hugged by Feng Wuyan and felt a little painful, couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Sympathetic?
Are bad brothers and bad brothers more or less the same?
She raised her hand and patted Feng Wuyan's hand that was holding on to hers. She said she was here and told him to be gentle.
Feng Wuyan's consciousness is flickering in and out today, but he can always recognize the voices of sick people.
So the strength in his hands gradually became lighter, replaced by trust and dependence.
And under the unconscious warmth of Feng Wuyan's inner strength, Xiao Xiruo's discomfort from staying up late also quietly disappeared.
In this regard, Xiao Xiruo would like to call it two old hapless guys trying to warm each other up.
miserable.
Really miserable. This chapter has been completed!
