C169

I felt like I was being quarantined, and the last thing I wanted to do was to be alone. He slept peacefully, his small hands spread and his small mouth wide open in a smile.

I touched his little face. I felt very reluctant. However, I had no choice but to temporarily leave you. I truly feared that I would implicate you and let your mother take responsibility.

After kissing and kissing again, he was still reluctant to part with it. He pulled up the small blanket for him, but his hair had been grabbed by him at some point.

Grasping his little finger, that was a soft and warm feeling. He slowly pulled out his hair before he gently stepped out. It was because he was sad to the point of shedding tears.

I said in amusement, "What are you crying for? What's there to cry for? It's just going to be another place."

"Empress, you are like this. You don't care about anything."

"What's there to care about? Alright, let's go. It won't be good if we wake Xu Xu up. For some reason, once we get there, I'll have to trouble you." Even the palace maids were unable to bring them over. The people beside her swept the area once more. It was unknown who, innocent as to who, had died in the matter of the perfume paste.

In the end, I still believe that the human heart is kind. I didn't harm others, and the palace maids don't need to harm me either. Only those palace concubines with smiles on their faces and the jealousy in their hearts, would want to pull me down.

Whatever the reason, you have to come with me to the cottage.

The mahogany, the redbud, and the magnolia, my God, the magnolia is beautiful now. The pure white petals are giving off a delicate fragrance, and I jumped up to grab one of them. The reason why I was so quiet was that I was watching me from the side, tears always hidden in my eyes.

I didn't know why she was crying. To me, this was perhaps the best. It was easy to break branches in the limelight. I didn't want to think about Esteemed Empress Dowager's thoughts. All I wanted to think was whether she was good or bad for me.

One should not look at the future, but at the future.

It's a pity that I don't like to think so badly of others. If I hadn't, I would have known who had done it.

It was a small pavilion that had some years to it, but it was very meticulous. Even though it was a little far away, no one came. There were many mahogany trees planted outside the pavilion.

My father-in-law had already come to clean up the small pavilion. I also brought some of my things over, so I went up to tidy them up first. I looked down at the mahogany, the long green leaves, which were always symmetrical and extended in two directions.

Peach has the meaning of joy, the heart, is a second heart.

There was also a large umbrella tree. The leaves were spread out like umbrellas, looking really beautiful.

I broke a branch and waved it all the way in. When I smelled the fragrance of the leaves, my mood improved. I ran up the pavilion and said, "The reason is to find me a vase." Putting them together, I could draw a picture and pass another day.

For some reason, he hurriedly came out, lowering his eyes. "Yes, Empress."

"Hehe, why are you still crying? Really, sigh, forget it. You go and do your own thing. I'll just look for myself." I like this small place quite a bit due to its antiquity. It's about the same size as my house, and also has a nice name. It's called Peach Blossom House, and it's probably famous because of the many mahogany trees planted around it.

I found a khaki-coloured bottle and filled it with water. As I was washing the leaves, I heard footsteps on the stairs. I turned around to see that it was Rinloran.

He is still my sole physician until my body recovers, and I cannot walk around so as not to infect others. I also do not know that the Crow Man is contagious. Well, I can't say much about that, but I came here to live with you.

I smiled at him. "Doctor Rinloran, you're really quick. Even if I'm here, you'll still be here. Come, let me take a look at those umbrellas I took. Beautiful." The scrubbed leaves were exceptionally green and gave off a faint luster, reflecting the earthen yellow bottle and giving it a sense of elegance and tranquility.

He looked at me deeply and smiled weakly. "Yun Zhiqiu really knows how to enjoy himself."

"Heh heh, then please take a seat. Where's the tea? I can't find it. " I have only just come, and it is not a plague, but I say that the fewer there are, the fewer there are. I do not like the group of ladies, so I say mine, but the Emperor will not allow it.

"You can keep it longer by adding some salt." He smiled and suggested, "Esteemed Yunzhi, please do your duty again and extend your hand for me to examine."

I couldn't help but laugh out loud. This is also considered an obligation, and a reclusive act.

Looking at his pulse, I stuck out my tongue. "I was lucky. In fact, I only used the second box twice or once. I wasn't in the mood to take care of myself because I was sick. I thought, 'I'm really lucky, hehe.'" To thank me for my thoughtlessness, some things are predestined in the underworld.

He could not help but roll his eyes at me and retracted his hand. "Actually, there really isn't any problem. I gave you some poison removal potions, but fortunately, your face is even more powerful than a cow's hide."

"Haha." I chuckled as I touched my face. "I, Yun Zhiqiu, am the most lucky one. I don't want to become the Black Faced God." Wrinkling my nose, I clutched my face and sighed. "There really is a price to pay if we want to become beautiful."

"Leave it to me." He heaved a long sigh, "Let's see if I have the ability to do so. If I can do it in the future, I can just return home and rely on my looks for my retirement."

"You have to be careful, start with me. If you become ugly, the emperor will be the first to kill you."

"Even if I get close to you, I will be killed." He lamented, "To be honest, we've known the Emperor since we were young. He is truly a … "Yes, yes." He cleverly stopped talking.

I continued, "Stingy and selfish?" Two choices for one, and you still like to hold a grudge.

"That's not what I said." He looked at me slyly.

This death-fearing fella, seriously, is still trying to kidnap me, but forget it, I don't have many friends in the palace.

I'll let you concoct the medicine, you dangerous person, now that the emperor has ordered me to cure you, I don't want to cause any problems. Remember how many points you need to remember, you can't run around randomly, you can't eat randomly, you can't trust others, every point is more dangerous than the last, do you understand?

I nodded and very seriously said, "I understand, Godly Doctor Lin Luoshui, be careful, the emperor probably doesn't like you. Aiya, why do I feel a little discomfort in my throat? I want to drink some soup. It's fragrant, thick, and bone-piercing."

I still remember that it was he who brought me soup to nourish my body at that time.

"I am not a servant." he cried resentfully.

I don't care whether you are or not, sometimes enslaving a very unwilling person is indeed a good mood, and I will continue to do it well. Ah, you say that only women and villains are hard to raise, ah, ah, I really want to be a good woman and villainous person, hur hur.

At night, he lit a candle and watched the lamp until he fell into a deep sleep. From here, he could see the palace even further ahead. The night wind was cold, and I missed it.

Actually, I know the reason for my worry. The reason and Lu Yao are worried that once I arrive here, the Emperor will forget about me after he has a new pet.

Sometimes for a while, that might be the rest of my life.

I know, I know, I'm betting. One year, two years, three years, if he doesn't love me and doesn't remember me, then I can truly put him down and enjoy the tranquility of my heart.

This guy, Lin Luoshui, I have to say he's my friend, he brought me osmanthus wine, he said he'll drink some when he wakes up at midnight, it's very sweet and warm, as expected, the taste of the wine is pretty good, it can make one's thoughts become slow.

My fingers run across the night sky, carrying my trembling and loneliness. In the northwest, how are you right now? In the Northwest you held my hand, that kind of warm directly to the bottom of my heart, I know that you have me in your heart, in fact I bitterly suppressed myself, in front of him is also happy, can you know, my heart under the smile, is not happy.

No one in the palace knows, but I know you will understand.

Hehe, this is for you. Xia Junchang, you in the northwest, I wonder if you've fallen asleep yet.

Thick night like silk ah, like tea, a little sweet, a little bitter, and a little astringent.

Every day, Rinloran would bring all sorts of things to nourish my body. The food that the palace sent over was also excellent; after all, there was still Lu Yao who was taking care of my life.

Day after day, he felt empty in his heart. He didn't know when it would be the end.

The reason why she was so considerate towards me was because the moment I reached out my hand, she knew what I wanted.

Leaning on the wind on the fence to look at the clouds, there will be more worry in the brow, the weather is getting cold, but what do I do, I still feel like I have nothing.

"What are you looking at?" Rinloran asked from behind me.

"Look at the clouds."

"What's there to look at? Zhi Qiu, let me tell you something."

"What is it?" I held my chin and looked at him.

He rolled his eyes. "Esteemed wangyi, don't look at me like that. I'm not a three year old child, and yet you still pretend to be cute."

Go, I even blinked my eyes and pretended to be innocent and cute.

He brushed the nonexistent dust off his clothes, lifted a decent face, and began to announce, "I'm getting married, don't you envy me."

"Why do I have to see the stars falling down one by one in broad daylight?" I was also envious. I was speechless with him, but I was really happy. It was a good thing.

"Yeah, I'm getting married." He heaved a sigh of relief. "What do you have that's valuable? Give me some."

He said it so simply, as if he was really proud of it. But in his eyes, the faint sense of loss in his eyes couldn't fool anyone.

"Which lady is it?" I asked him softly.

He said, "Imperial Concubine Mu's young miss."

"Don't you like it?"

"I like it." He said, "How can I not like it? But so what if I don't like it? I have to learn from you, no matter what, and not let my mood get too bad, right? "

Sigh, the words of the matchmaker on the matter of marriage couldn't be left to him.

"You don't like it, but you can refuse to marry. I approve of your escape."

He smiled as he leaned against the fence and looked down at the umbrella-shaped tree, "Your thoughts are really astounding, and you still want me to escape from the marriage. Forget it, since we are going to get married anyway, it would save us a lot of trouble if someone else chooses it."

"But don't you have anyone you like?" How hard it is to get married to someone you don't like, and how painful it is to be with someone you don't like, I think I know.

He laughed lightly, not taking it seriously. "People I like don't like me. Seriously, why do I have to talk so much with you? You still have to give me gifts, I'm sure there will be many treasures in the past."

You will say that it was a glorious time of the past, but now, ten days or eight days or even a month has passed, and I am still like this. You also know that I am not hiding anything, but how will you help me when I become old? "Why don't you give me a bit of it? We're friends now, and I think I'm getting old, and my body isn't well, and my eyes aren't good either. I'll be very, very miserable." There's no way I can get anything of value out of you.

He laughed out loud, "You greedy bastard. Alright, stop saying how pitiful you are in front of me. Zhi Qiu, are you going to continue like this?"

I shrugged. "What else can I do? I can't change anything."

"The one the emperor dotes on the most right now is Li Ruo Hong and Li Wanyi. Zhi Qiu, tell me, are you afraid you'll really be forgotten?" he asked me seriously.

I still shook my head. "No."

"I really don't know what you're thinking." he whispered.

I don't know, I guess. I seemed to be waiting, watching his face.

Lin Luoshui could still be considered a friend. After that one time, she would never hide anything from me, even if there was something she wanted to tell me.

I recognize Li Ruo Hong. Before I entered the palace, she was the unruly girl that was with the Emperor.

Zhiqiu, let me say what I need to about you. If not, let me help you, but I feel that you're very happy right now. If I let you return to the emperor's side, you'll encounter a lot of dangers, and the palace's undercurrents will lurk. First, I thought the emperor was protecting you, allowing you to come here. He looked at me pityingly. "I'm afraid he's..."

"It's fine, he forgot about me. It's even better. He doted on me a lot. Perhaps I should feel satisfied, but sometimes he still feels very tired. "I know I can't get away from him. I've already resigned myself to my fate." He doted on me just like how he doted on Imperial Concubine Mu initially, but in the end, he didn't even bother to look at her.

The love of ordinary men is truly difficult to meet and will never change. That depends on luck. What I lack the most is luck. The love of an emperor was even more ethereal, like the moon in the clouds and water, and could only be seen but not grasped.

"The time of my marriage is just before the new year. Zhiqiu, Jun Tang will be back."

"He … He … will he come back? " I was a little nervous.

He nodded. "Yes, I wrote to him, he said he would come back, he asked about you, I told him."

"You're so annoying. Who told you to say that?" I didn't want him to know about my condition, I didn't know he wouldn't feel sad for me, I thought a year would pass so quickly like this, Rinloran is his very good friend, his marriage, but he wants to rush back.

"Zhiqiu, I know that you really like Jun Tang, but don't deny it. There's always a longing hidden in the depths of your eyes, and you don't care about the status and position of the palace. You can't fool people. " His words were like a rope, looping around and around me.
