On a summer night, there are stars on the dark blue night sky.
Bai Qiqian looked through the window lattice at the night outside, with a faint layer of sadness covering her face.
The flickering candlelight in the room makes it easy for people to fall into deep thought.
Bai Qiqian looked at the beating flames, and a very strange thought suddenly arose in her heart. She didn't know what kind of warmth it would be like to be burned by the raging fire? Yes, warmth, like a moth flying into the flame, would it?
Are you just pursuing that kind of warmth?
It was hot in summer, but she felt a little chilly in her body and heart.
As time passed day by day, Ye Liyuan's attitude towards her was still ignoring her.
His eyes always fell on Su Wanliang.
Sometimes Bai Qiqian is tired and always has random thoughts. Maybe Ye Liyuan no longer loves her.
There were soft footsteps in the corridor outside, and Bai Qiqian came back from her thoughts.
She looked quietly at the woman kneeling in front of her, sizing her up carefully, as if she wanted to read her mind.
Hongfu raised her head slightly, and under the illumination of the candlelight, she faced that beautiful face. In a trance, she thought the person standing in front of her was Su Wanliang. Su Wanliang controlled her life with one hand.
Hongfu couldn't help but shuddered: "My maid has come to see Concubine Yao. I wonder what the important matter is that Concubine Yao has summoned for her at night."
Bai Qiqian wriggled her lips, and her voice was as calm as water: "Hongfu, you are a smart man, and there is no need to play riddles when talking to you. Today, I am here to see you, and I only want to know one thing, that is, who is Su Wanliang really?"
identity."
Hong Fu lowered his head: "I don't know what I said to you."
Bai Qiqian stared at the lonely moonlight outside the window, with a hint of loneliness in her eyebrows, and her whole person fell silent.
Hong Fu couldn't help but raise his head and looked at her quietly.
Her back is very beautiful, always giving people a stunning feeling. However, she is very cold, so cold that it is difficult to approach.
She is like a mystery, always making people guess and unable to see through.
No wonder, every time Su Wanliang mentioned her, there would always be a look of jealousy and resentment in her eyes. Such a woman exists just to make people jealous and enviable.
After a long time, Bai Qiqian said softly: "Hongfu, only I can save you."
Hongfu's body trembled: "I don't understand what Concubine Yao is saying. I'm fine and don't need help from others."
Bai Qiqian turned around with blazing eyes: "Hongfu, sometimes, if you say too much, it's meaningless, right?"
Hongfu gritted his teeth, feeling confused, but he didn't know how to speak.
Bai Qi smiled slightly, with a hint of ruthlessness on her beautiful face: "Hongfu, since you want to hear it, I don't mind helping you analyze it. You were separated from your brother when you were young, and since then you have been separated from your brother.
We met and settled down in Zaocun. I believe many people already know that you and Cui Yanlin have a deep love for each other."
Bai Qiqian paused: "I don't know what step Cui Yanlin can do for you. But with your love for your brother, I know what step you can do for Cui Yanlin. You are Concubine Su's personal maid, so naturally
You know a lot about Concubine Su, including the secrets that Concubine Su wants to hide, and you know more or less. Therefore, your departure is a huge threat to Concubine Su."
Others can only see her beauty, who can know the sadness behind her?
Hong Fu cried secretly. In order to show her loyalty, she had to force herself to do things she didn't like to do.
The once beautiful woman's hands were stained with blood.
I thought she would spend her whole life in the deep palace, growing old slowly, carrying with her an unspeakable secret.
However, Cui Yanlin's appearance now is her salvation.
She suddenly missed the simple life she once had. Although there was no hope, there was no despair either.
Hong Fu stretched out his hand to wipe the tears from the corner of his eyes: "Since Concubine Yao knows that my departure is a huge departure for Concubine Su, it is impossible for Concubine Su to let me go. Then Concubine Yao, you don't have to go to all the trouble.
What does your mind want to hear from me?"
She raised her head and looked at Bai Qiqian: "If I say anything, it will only hasten my death."
Bai Qiqian smiled: "She is such a smart maid, but it is a pity that she is with the wrong master."
Hong Fu was a little sad: "Whether I followed the wrong one or the right one, for the old me, her appearance was my life-saving straw. Once I caught it, there was no turning back."
Bai Qiqian paced back and forth in the room and whispered: "What if I give you a chance?"
Seeing Hong Fu's silence, Bai Qiqian continued: "Cui Zhuangyuan brought the matter of you having a child outside to the Jinluan Palace, hoping that the emperor would be merciful and let you out of the palace. You don't understand what your brother is doing.
His painstaking efforts? As long as your matter is made clear, Concubine Su can't touch you. Although she is holding you in the palace now, as long as you promise to tell me her identity, I can let you leave safely.
Royal Palace.”
Hong Fu thought for a long time, and a glimmer of light appeared in his originally dark eyes: "Concubine Yao, why should I believe you?"
Bai Qiqian smiled elegantly and said, "Hongfu, this is your only chance."
Hongfu gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Concubine Yao, I will believe you just once, but I won't tell the truth until I leave the palace."
Bai Qiqian smiled brightly: "I will arrange for you to leave the palace as soon as possible."
Ziyuan walked up to Hongfu and led her out of Yaochi Palace.
Bai Qiqian looked at the flickering candlelight with a beautiful smile on her lips: "Soon, it will be dawn, and probably happiness will come soon."
After a good night's sleep, she fell asleep peacefully.
In the deep palace loneliness, even time passes very slowly.
In Jinjiao Hall, Su Wanliang tasted the tea in the jade cup and asked slowly: "Hongfu, you have been absent-minded these past few days. What are you thinking about?"
A trace of panic flashed in Hongfu's eyes: "No, I didn't think about anything."
Su Wanliang's sharp eyes were like sharp knives, sweeping across Hong Fu, but her voice was clear and calm: "Oh, really? I thought you missed your child and wanted to go back."
Hongfu hurriedly knelt down on the ground: "I'm joking, I have been with you all these years, serving you with all my heart. In my heart, I am the most important."
There was a hint of cruelty in the corner of Su Wanliang's mouth: "In the past few years, you have indeed served me with all your heart, and it is not in vain that I have cultivated you. However, regarding the matter of you having a child, you still
I've kept it secret for so long, even I don't know about it."
Hongfu kowtowed repeatedly: "When I left the child behind, I thought he was dead, so I didn't tell the queen."
Su Wanliang's smile was a bit charming: "Hongfu, tell me, do you want to go back?"
Hongfu looked at Su Wanliang sincerely: "Madam, it is a gift from God for Hongfu to meet Yan Lin. Now that he sees that Yan Lin has a future, Hongfu's wish has been fulfilled. In this life, Hongfu only wants to
Follow your mother-in-law and serve her well."
Su Wanliang was very satisfied with what she said: "I will tell you some good news."
Hong Fu's face was instantly filled with smiles.
Su Wanlian said happily: "I feel uncomfortable today. The imperial doctor checked and said that I am pregnant. So, I asked the emperor for a favor. Let you stay by my side and wait.
I will give birth to a dragon son and then let you go back."
Hong Fu's body trembled slightly.
She said somewhat numbly: "My maid congratulates the empress."
Su Wanliang lowered her head with soft eyes. As long as she gave birth to a dragon son, she would have someone to rely on in the future. Her position as queen was even more certain. Thinking of this, she looked at the Red Buddha and raised her hand to let her get up: "You will
You are serving me well by my side, and by the way, I also asked the emperor for grace and allowed Cui Zhuangyuan to come to the palace to see you once a month."
Hongfu smiled dullly: "The empress's great kindness to Hongfu will be unforgettable by Hongfu."
It seems that she cannot leave the palace.
The passionate flame in Hong Fu's heart was extinguished by Su Wanliang's words.
At the same time, besides her, the people who were hit hard were also the master and servant pair in Yaochi Palace.
Bai Qiqian raised her eyes to look at the sky. The bright sun stung her eyes, and she murmured, "Ziyuan, is this God's arrangement?"
Ziyuan comforted Bai Qiqian and said, "My dear, please don't be sad."
Bai Qiqian glanced at Ziyuan sadly: "Ziyuan, how can I not be sad? I originally thought that I could start with her maid, so that I could find out something about Su Wanliang. But now, things have reached a deadlock again.
, and, and she’s pregnant.”
She's pregnant, it's Ye Liyuan's child.
Bai Qiqian felt bored in her heart. When she walked out of the palace, she met Ye Liyuan holding Su Wanliang's hand, and the two of them were walking in the imperial garden.
Su Wanliang spoke with a touch of pride: "Your Majesty, if it hadn't been for the imperial doctor telling me today, I wouldn't have known I was pregnant."
Ye Liyuan looked at Su Wanliang dotingly and spoke in a gentle tone, as if Su Wanliang was his most beloved woman: "Su Su, I remember that you are also knowledgeable in medicine. Why haven't you paid attention to your body?"
There was a hint of concern in the reproachful tone.
Bai Qiqian slowly lowered her eyes to cover up the bitterness in her eyes. She wanted to question him, but she still didn't say anything.
Ye Liyuan looked intently at Bai Qiqian's paper-pale face, her slender and long eyelashes trembling slightly. Did she feel sad after listening to Su Wanliang's words?
Ye Liyuan felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart. He couldn't tell whether it was excitement or distress.
Su Wanliang pulled Ye Liyuan's sleeve: "Your Majesty, didn't you say you wanted to take me to see Lingxiao Tengluo? Let's go now."
Lingxiao Tengluo, he actually took another woman to see Lingxiao Tengluo.
Bai Qiqian was shocked, and then the pain was unbearable, as if a thousand arrows had pierced her heart. All the grievances, all the sadness, and all the unwillingness seemed to find an outlet to vent at this moment. Bai Qiqian's throat felt sweet, and she took a sip.
Blood spurted out.
Closing her eyes, she seemed to see the panicked expression of the man. Bai Qiqian suddenly smiled.
