Story of the Forbidden Palace - C65
Inside the room, there was a dim light mixed with a dark and humid smell, but no trace of Ya Bei could be seen. She saw her quietly leaning against a tree trunk in the backyard, just beneath a brightly colored wintersweet tree.
She was still wearing the same green clothes, the same light yellow fur collar, the same delicate and pretty body. It was as if he was the Sun Ya Bei that I saw for the first time in the courtyard.
A plum petal floated down with the wind and lightly rested on her temple. That strong Qi fused together with the faint freshness emitted by Ya Bei, making people feel that it was not real.
She dismissed the crowd and stood alone in front of her silently. Her eyes remained fixed on the distant palace pavilion behind me.
Seeing me come, Ya Bei did not have any expression, as if she did not see me. However, I smiled. It was vivid and beautiful without a trace of melancholy. Finally, she said, “You shouldn’t have come!”
After thinking for a moment, I slowly took a step forward. “What’s wrong with a sister visiting while she’s ill?” Ya Bei laughed, “What sickness do I have?” “In my opinion, it is indeed an illness, but the liver is not as heavy as the heart.”
This time, it was her turn to smile, but it was also filled with sadness and unwillingness. “Even if you didn’t come today, I wouldn’t have gone out of my way to live. Why are you being so aggressive? Why are you looking at my miserable appearance? Or do you think that if you were to add insult to injury, you would be able to vent your anger by not leaving me even the slightest bit of dignity? ”
Ya Bei’s thick eyelashes formed a thin shadow under the sunlight, hiding the hate in her eyes. I stared at the floating clouds, when suddenly I remembered the sunny afternoon when I had first entered the palace. I couldn’t help but smile bitterly: “If you hadn’t pushed me too far and reversed myself, how would Tian Er have died? If you didn’t want to kill me, how would I have the heart to do so? ”
“Even today, I still don’t understand why a good relationship would lead to a life and death situation. “If you want the king’s favor, you have to push yourself up. It is only a matter of time before you have to make a ruckus in the palace?”
“Why do you insist on framing me, framing someone who truly thinks you’re a sister? And again and again? ” Actually, I feel very regretful too, not just for Tian Er, but for myself as well.
Originally, they thought that the three of us would be able to advance or retreat together, resulting in both sides losing and losing glory. He even naively believed that as long as one person could gain a foothold, then the other two opportunities would definitely not be inferior. And yet …
Ya Bei suddenly laughed out loud, and it was the kind of laughter that could only cover the pit of her stomach. She even laughed and said that she couldn’t straighten her back. She had to lean against the trunk of the tree to be able to stand firmly. Each one was so piercing that it made me upset. “Enough, what are you laughing at?”
“I had thought that you, Imperial Concubine Shan, were so intelligent but deep down, you were so hopelessly stupid. Why do you still believe that this is a deep palace? It was my idea for Tian Er to enter the palace, it was just that she was too naive. ”
Ya Bei folded a rose and looked at it carefully: “The women of the harem are just like this rose, they are a little budding, some are blooming while others are near the brink of decline. But no matter which one of them it is, it will all end in ruin. ”
“Why don’t I just get ahead of myself when I’m just about to sprout?” She suddenly looked straight at me, pointed a trembling blue finger at me, and roared uncontrollably: “It just so happened to be you, Shan Wanqing! It was your appearance that ruined everything for me. ”
“Before you entered the palace, I was the emperor’s favorite concubine. Regardless of whether it was a woman who had just learned her art or her looks, she was still an exceptional woman. It was as easy as flipping his hand to stand out amongst the rookies. But it’s you. ”
Ya Bei fiercely tore off the plum blossoms from the broken branches and crushed them into pieces in her hands.
