Abandoned woman's glory

Chapter 148 Ling Shaoyang's Torment
Qinglong Ji, Zhaoyi five years, the Qinglong Kingdom experienced the most turbulent situation since the founding of the country.

Qinglong Emperor Ling Chufeng took the medicine of tiger and wolf for a long time, his body was backlashed by the medicine, he lost all consciousness, and became a silent living dead.

A country cannot be without a king for a day, and the courtiers found Ling Chufeng's previous edict in the imperial study room, to make Ling Shaoyang, the king of Dongping, as Qinglong Prince. Therefore, political affairs cannot be abolished, so Ling Shaoyang, the king of Dongping, inherited the destiny, executed the imperial pen and approved it, and ascended to the palace as the prince to supervise the country.

This man is already in full bloom at this moment, exuding a dazzling light.

And behind that light, in the deepest shadow, in a corner that almost no one will notice, there is a vague figure—it is me.

From the day he came to the palace to oversee the country, I became a servant of Chengqian Palace.

Ling Shaoyang would get up at Mao every day. From then on, I had to serve him by his side, and I couldn't leave until the night was over. The time I could rest was not even three hours.

In such heavy work, my body collapsed very badly. Even if I didn’t do anything, I just stood behind him and watched him review the memorial. My hands holding the tea tray were trembling slightly, and cold sweat kept gushing from my forehead. When he came out, his eyes became black again and again.

At this time, a soft dry cough came out of his throat, and Eunuch Yu, who was standing beside him, immediately greeted me: "Tea!"

I froze for a moment before I realized it, and hurried over with the tea tray in my hand.

But as soon as he lifted his leg, his already numb foot would not listen, and he fell to the ground all of a sudden.

With a bang, the teacup shattered, hot tea and sharp fragments splashed all over my face and onto the man's feet.

"Oh, look at you clumsy!"

Seeing this scene, Eunuch Yu immediately jumped up, pointed at me and cursed: "Why are you so careless, look at you, what will you do?!"

"Feel sorry."

I barely got up from the ground, but if I didn't pay attention, the sharp edge of the fragment of the teacup had pierced into my palm, and suddenly there was a piercing pain, which made me a little choked up when I spoke.

Seeing my frowning and pale face, Eunuch Yu immediately said: "Get out!"

"Yes."

I lowered my head, gave a light blessing, then turned around and walked towards the gate of the imperial study.

But as soon as he walked to the door, he heard a cold voice behind him saying: "The palace maid has done something wrong, is it okay to step down? Yufu, when did this rule come into being?"

My steps froze and I didn't go any further.

Eunuch Yu's face was also a little pale, and he immediately turned around and smiled apologetically, "Your Highness, she is clumsy, and she doesn't know how to serve—"

"Hmph," Ling Shaoyang slowly stood up from the case: "Since you have done something wrong, you should be punished, right?"

"Yes... yes..." Eunuch Yu could only lean over and say yes non-stop.

While speaking, he had already walked in front of me step by step, looking down at me.

The candlelight in the imperial study room was flickering, shining on his sharp-edged face. In such a dark night, it looked even more profound and strange. When he looked at me, those eyes looked more like It's like condensed frost.

"Tonight, I will punish you to stand in the imperial study room overnight, and you are not allowed to close your eyes!"

Stand overnight without closing your eyes.

This may be the lightest accusation for the maid who made a mistake, but I was in a hurry.

When he returned to Zhaoye, Ling Chufeng was assigned to the Yanfu Hall, which was called "Prosperity", but anyone with a discerning eye could see that there was already a prince who supervised the country, such an emperor who was like a living dead, but It was just a display, and no one would care if he was placed in the palace or any other place.

And I, the emperor's concubine who was registered not long ago, also said the same.

The reason why I endured all the humiliation and promised Ling Shaoyang to be a court lady by his side was in exchange for being able to go to that cold and empty Yanfu Palace every night to guard my man.

As long as you can lie beside him, hug his warm body, and gently kiss his handsome eyebrows and closed eyes, all the pain and tiredness during the day will disappear.

But now, he wants me to stand in the imperial study room overnight!
"You—you promised that I can go to Yanfu Hall to guard the emperor at night!"

He smiled coldly: "I did promise."

"then you--"

"But do you think you are still qualified to bargain with me?" He looked at me coldly: "If you don't stand up tonight, I will prevent you from entering Yanfu Palace every night in the future!"

My heart was stung all of a sudden.

Indeed, I have no bargaining chip with him, I am an ant in his hands, he just wants to play with me now, and get back all the previous humiliation twice, maybe only in this way can he let him It's a little better.

"..." Gritting my teeth, I stalemate for a long time, and finally said softly: "Your servant obeys."

After finishing speaking, he walked to the corner of the imperial study room and stood up silently.

He still had a cold smile on his face, but there was no smile in those eyes. He just looked at me coldly, then walked slowly back to the case, and continued to review the memorial with a pen, while the jade beside him My father-in-law looked at me, and there was a slight look of regret on that white and fat face.

"It's all right, you are too old to stand the cold, so go down first."

Ling Shaoyang held the imperial pen and Zhu Zhu, and said without raising his head, Eunuch Yu hesitated a little, and glanced at me, I silently shook my head to show that there was no problem, so he could only come over, and after bowing down, he exited the imperial study room .

The door is also closed.

Punishment to stand is actually not too heavy a punishment, but for me, it's not like that at all.

I stood in the corner, the gilt bricks under my feet were the coldest, slowly rising, as if thousands of needles were piercing my legs, even my knees were so sore, and the cold air in the room was soaking me The thin clothes, coupled with the sleepiness that has not slept for several days, have been miserable for a while.

I bit my lower lip tightly, cold sweat gushed out like a tide, dripping drop by drop on the floor.

Ling Shaoyang, still immersed in his head, silently reviewed the memorial.

Time passed bit by bit, the pain slowly penetrated my body, and began to erode my will, I forced myself to stand up, but my eyes were blackened in bursts, and Ling Shaoyang's figure could hardly be seen clearly. The surrounding candlelight is also blurred...

After an unknown amount of time, I suddenly realized something in the darkness and opened my eyes.

A pair of eyes, looking at me close at hand.

Ling Shaoyang!
I was taken aback, subconsciously stepped back, but reached the cold wall, only to realize that I curled up in a corner and fell asleep at some point.

And he, squatting in front of me like this and looking down at me, I don't know how long.

I don't know if it's my illusion, the moment I opened my eyes, I saw Ling Shaoyang's face, which seemed to be a confused expression, and there seemed to be a trace of imperceptible tenderness in those eyes that were always only cold and disgusted .

As soon as he saw my panicked look, his face immediately turned cold.

"Why, are you so sleepy?"

"..."

"Or, do you want to make this pitiful look so that I can sympathize with you?"

As he said that, he sneered: "Don't you know that the pitiful appearance of other women is very charming, but you - it's really disgusting!"

That moment just now was indeed an illusion.

How could he look at me with that tender look?Maybe he hates me so much that I can't tell how deep it is, otherwise, who can do such silent torture?
I forced myself to stand up straight, and made an almost nihilistic smile: "Since that's the case, I just don't want to be a servant."

There was a faint twitch on his face, as if he was extremely angry, but he couldn't vent it. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me in front of him, looking into my eyes: "Why, are you provoking me?"

"The slaves dare not."

How dare I provoke you?I am an ant that you hold in the palm of your hand. Life and death are all in your mind. Even the things I care about the most are under your control. How dare I?How dare I!
He didn't speak either, just looked at me, but the strength in his hand became heavier and heavier, making my slender wrist tremble slightly.

It seems that it is about to break...

Heartbreaking pain hit, I bit my lower lip and looked at him calmly, but tears of pain had already filled my eyes, and I don't know the next moment, it will drip down.

He lowered his eyes lazily: "Does it hurt?"

"pain……"

I'm telling the truth, if my pain would make you happier, why should I hide it?
But for some reason, my honesty didn't seem to make him any happier. He stared at me, the anger in his eyes was even worse, but he didn't seem to know how to vent it, and finally threw me away heavily: "Get out!"

"..."

I staggered and hit the door on my back.

"Get out, don't get in the way here!"

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness." I gave a light blessing, holding my wrist that was about to break, and exited the imperial study.

Finally, he returned to Yanfu Hall.

There are many hanging curtains in this empty hall, like a room of smoke and mist, and in the deepest part of the cloud is a large couch surrounded by white gauze, on which lies the person who haunts my dreams.

Chu Feng...

I walked over and bent down, and pressed my cheek against his, it was also cool, and only when I was the closest, could I feel a faint breath.

He is still alive.

It’s like this every day, I’m worried that he will swallow his last breath when I don’t know, so the first thing I see him every day is to test his breathing, and only after confirming can I feel at ease **** every day The second thing to do.

I picked up a long sword.

The dark blue scabbard is carved with exquisite clouds, and the moon is hidden in the clouds, exuding a faint moonlight. Everything has been meticulously carved by the craftsman, and it looks so lifelike. What is hidden in the scabbard is The treasure that people in the martial arts dream of, and the magical weapon that the countries of the Central Plains fear like a tiger.

moon soul.

The sword is three feet long, and when it is unsheathed, the coldness overflows, like a pool of clear water flowing past the eyes.In the dazzling brilliance, I seem to see that person's shallow, but always reassuring smile.

Nangong...

Already, more than a month.

Thinking about it carefully, I have experienced many things together with him. It is not the first time that he is not by my side. Since we met, the two of us have been together for less than ten days.

But this time, I have never felt his "absence" so clearly.

A month ago, when Nangong returned to the imperial city from Juma River Valley, I was locked in the dungeon of Juma State Mansion, completely unaware of what happened outside, and it was only after returning to Zhaoye that Eunuch Yu told me , Nangong was in a coma all the way, and only woke up once in the middle.

This time he woke up, he did two things: First, he told the people around him to send him to the deepest Qingsi Hall in the imperial city, and no one was allowed to disturb him except for sending a little water every day.

Second, let Eunuch Yu hand over the Moon Soul Sword to me.

At that time, there were already rumors in the palace that the son of Nangong would die if he was seriously injured and would not recover. If he left this Moon Soul Sword to me, he might have already explained his funeral.

But I know it's not like that.

He fought against hundreds of people with the strength of one person. Although the imperial doctor told me that he did not have a single fatal wound, the battle undoubtedly drained all his energy and vitality, just like Jiang Hai being drained by someone. After drinking water, it is possible to wait for the nectar from the sky to regain vitality in time, or there is also a possibility-the sea dries up and people die.

Entering the Qingsi Temple and practicing penance in a harsh environment is his last way.

And he handed the Moon Soul Sword to me, just like every time before, with wordless trust.

I took out my silk handkerchief, and slowly wiped this cold long sword. Every day, I would wipe it like this, so that it would be as sharp and brilliant as when it was by my master's side. I believe in such a god. The sword has a sword spirit, and it can communicate with Nangong. As long as the long sword is immortal, he will definitely be able to walk out of the Qingsi Hall!

After wiping the Moon Soul, it was almost Mao o'clock, and the sky was shining through the window. I put the sword into the scabbard and put it back on the couch where I usually slept. Just as I was about to get up, I heard footsteps outside.

Looking up, a familiar figure came in through the door.

"Eunuch Yu?"

Why is he here?

I was about to go up to meet him, but saw that he had already walked over, and kowtowed to Ling Chu who was lying on the couch.

I hurried forward to help him up. These days, he would come to kowtow to Ling Chufeng every day. Although this old man is a bit domineering on weekdays, he is loyal to his old master.

But, why did he come to Yanfu Palace before dawn today?

So I asked, "Eunuch Yu, why did you come so early? What's the matter?"

"The crown prince ordered, it's not early today, let me tell you, you don't want to go there."

"Oh?"

I'm a little surprised. Ling Shaoyang has been conscientious in supervising the country these days. He never slackens in governing the court every day. Why is it that he didn't go to court early today?

After I opened my mouth to inquire, I found that Eunuch Yu looked serious, as if something really happened, he looked at the couch behind me, and I don't know if his eyes were looking at Chu Feng, or what he was looking at, and said in a low voice: " Today, a big man entered the palace."

Big man?
In this Qinglong kingdom, the biggest person is the man behind me, and Ling Shaoyang, the prince of Jian Guo, can be said to be under one person and above ten thousand people, what kind of big person can enter the palace, so that he can receive him in person without going to court early?

After all, what kind of big shot?

Just as I was about to ask, I heard the sound of a watchman coming from a distance, one of the little eunuchs following behind Eunuch Yu walked to the door, and whispered from a distance: "Boss Yu, Shi Chen It's getting late."

Eunuch Yu waved his sleeves at him, then turned to me and said, "Princess, I have already taken leave of absence from the inner court for you, if the crown prince doesn't announce it today, don't go to Chengqian Hall."

After finishing speaking, I turned around and walked out. I was puzzled, and wanted to say something, but saw him turn around again, and hurriedly left a sentence "Princess, please remember", and then rushed to the door with the group of little eunuchs. He walked towards the Chengqian Hall, and after a while, the figure disappeared inside the red wall.

The doubts in my heart are getting deeper and deeper.

Big man, what kind of big man, seeing Eunuch Yu's actions, it seems that he doesn't want me to meet that big man.

Could it be someone related to me?
Thinking of it this way, my heart faintly moved.

Everyone has curiosity, what's more, these actions of Eunuch Yu all show something to me. I believe that if I go to Chengqian Palace at this time, some unexpected things will happen.

But—should I go?
I can't help but think of how Eunuch Yu has taken care of me these days. In fact, he may not really believe that I am not a spy and have no malicious intentions. He only treats me for the sake of my sincere treatment of Ling Chufeng, his former master. In this way, it will definitely not harm me, then...

I looked back at Chu Feng who was lying on the couch, the Moon Soul was still beside him.

I walked over to put Yuehun away, then lay down gently beside him, hugging his arms, listening to his even breathing, feeling his steady heartbeat——

Such a warm feeling.

Isn't this kind of peace what I'm greedy for and what I want extravagantly?

Pressing against his warm body, I smiled softly, forget it, don't think about anything...

Holding Chu Feng's arm for a while, and smelling the faint green plum fragrance from his body, I seemed to be much more relaxed, but after sleeping for an hour or two, it seemed that all my energy had recovered.

I changed into a plain moon-white long dress, which was not so conspicuous, and went out.

I only go to two places on weekdays. One is Chengqian Palace. After walking through the long and narrow red wall in front, I turn to a small road in the Imperial Garden, and I will arrive at the side entrance of Chengqian Palace.

And another place -

Holding the hem of my skirt, I walked step by step onto this long and narrow path paved with pebbles. On both sides are evergreen green bamboos. The morning dew is crystal clear and the breeze is warm, bringing the fragrance of bamboo leaves, which makes me want to be drunk.

And in front of this road, there is a mansion made of emerald green bamboos. It is also the only building in the imperial city that does not have glazed gold bricks, red walls and green tiles.

Qingsi Hall.
