Chapter 178: The Tao is clear but clear (4)

"The emperor," Li Fei's sweet voice came along with the wind: "The emperor is a great blessing for the concubine to celebrate his concubine's birthday, and the concubine respects the emperor for a cup." While she was speaking, she stood up and worshiped in a charming manner , A pair of beautiful eyes looked up at Shen Xiyao, so delicate and moving. Xiao Rong on the side saw her eyes straight, and she couldn't help shaking her head in admiration: "Li Fei is so beautiful."
"Get up." For some reason, Shen Xiyao's voice has always been faint, like Li Fei's bright and beautiful, and the brilliance of other concubines did not enter his eyes. His eyes are always wandering in the mist, occasionally returning to his senses, and then putting on a mask of a false smile.
"The emperor," Yi Zhaorong's soft voice came, and Shen Xiyao turned sideways to look at her, with a genuine smile on her face, but she said nothing.
"Why didn't you see Sister Liu Fei?" Yi Zhaorong looked around for a long time, with a somewhat worried tone: "But my sister is sick again?"
Shen Xiyao hasn't answered yet. Li Fei pressed her nose with a silk paw and said, "Sister Liu Fei is not in good health these few days, so she can't come today." Li Fei smiled and looked at Shen Xiyao: "The emperor is going to go. Look at my sister."
"Isn't she okay yesterday?" Shen Xiyao glanced at Zhang Dehai standing behind him, her voice slightly dissatisfied.
"Back to the emperor, Concubine Liu got cold at night, so today?" Zhang Dehai replied.
"Oh." Shen Xiyao's face was dark for a moment as if the sky was about to come, but in the next moment it became bright all over the sky: "Since Concubine Liu is not coming, let's have a banquet."
Sheng sing, beauty chants, Orchid dance, hundreds of flowers. For a moment, Yan Yan said with a smile, Tao Li Fangfei walked along with songs, time is long. For a moment, it seemed that I had returned to a long time ago, and I was in the middle of beautiful clothes and beautiful clothes. It's just that I don't miss or yearn for it, even when I think of the bright spring, I can't help but shudder and see the gloom under the bright spring. It's just that I have to go back after all, and after all, I have to sit next to Shen Xiyao with the most noble expression, with the help of his power, to seek an ending for my unwillingness, my resentment, and my sorrow.
"Xie Niang, you see that those concubines are so beautiful. And the emperor, the emperor is really different today and that day." Xiao Rong stared at Shen Xiyao almost greedily. Indeed, he is someone who makes people feel deeply impressed by a glance. A beautiful man, especially he still carries the identity of an emperor.
However, the emperor is not affordable to anyone. To love him, he must make a plan to never respond, and even pay the price of his life.
"Let's go back." I saw the team of guards patrolling other places, hurriedly pulling Xiao Rong's clothes corners.
"Look at it for a while, Mother Xie. Look, I'm eating." She swallowed and spit, her eyes straightened.
I followed her gaze, but there was no need to look at it, the alluring fragrance had already been heard by the wind. I closed my eyes, it was the fried pork loin with blessing, red plum beads, Kung Pao hare, hydrangea scallops, and fried guinea fowl. I couldn't help but feel the stomach roll, the burning hunger hit, and the throat became sour.
I haven't eaten anything for two days.
"Let's go quickly while the guard leaves." I persuaded Xiao Rong, I had already passed through the flowers. It would be too dangerous to stay here any longer.
Xiao Rong pouted and wanted to come out, but she couldn't help but turned her head and was pulled to her cheek by Huazhi, and she involuntarily let out an "Oh-yo".
"Who?" With a cry like a thunder in a clear sky, my heart sank in shock, and my front was clenched.
"Who!" That was Zhang Dehai's voice, and a guard ran over as he spoke. I forcefully calmed my mind, dragged Xiao Rong to kneel on the ground, and whispered to the leading guard: "We are the court ladies of the coat of arms. We are really curious about passing here, so I took a peek..."
"Who is it?" Shen Xiyao's indifferent voice came, idle, but very cold.
The guard replied loudly: "Back to the emperor, two girls from the coat of arms are peeking here."
"Oh." Shen Xi paused for a moment, her voice was very easy-going, as if she didn't care at all, but the words made people chill.
"What is the punishment for the crime of glimpse?"
"Going back to the emperor, prying eyes and punishing death." The guard's face was tense, very serious.
"Li Fei, didn't you let you and He concubine in the harem? How could such an unruly thing happen." He said naturally, but he could think of Li Fei's horror.
"The emperor, this..." Li Fei's nervous voice came, not knowing how to answer.
"The emperor shouldn't blame Sister Li Fei." It was Haoyue's voice. Suddenly, there was a feeling of discomfort all over me, as if I had swallowed a fly.
"The emperor, the clothing bureau is the place of the minions, and should be under the control of the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Haoyue explained.
Shen Xiyao said, "In that case, today is your birthday, and the death penalty is ominous. It's up to you to decide what to do."
Li Fei's voice came in the next moment, with a harsh voice: "The girl who doesn't understand the rules, take the stick and blame forty!"
I clenched my lips, and Xiao Rong couldn't help shaking.
"Sister Li Fei, I am afraid that forty is too much." Yi Zhaorong pleaded: "The emperor, twenty board can kill half a life, let alone forty. Such punishment is no different from a death penalty, too heavy. ."
Yi Zhaorong said and said loudly to this side: "You come up to the emperor, Empress Li concubine, please beg your concubine."
She has always been a kindhearted person, and even though she knows that doing so will make a grudge with Li Fei, she still wants to save our lives. However, if Shen Xiyao saw me, he would not know what terrible decision he would make.
Xiao Rong had already stood up and walked forward shivering. I hesitated to follow. As soon as I walked around the big rock, I heard a woman exclaiming: "Xie Niang, why are you here!"
It is Zhiqiu's voice. She opened her eyes wide and looked at me, full of anger. If I could return to the coat of arms safely today, I was afraid that I would not be safe in the future. However, I knew I couldn't go back.
Just look at Shen Xiyao's weird face like the quiet sea on the eve of a storm, and under the eyes that are as deep as the dark waves, there is clearly a majestic anger brewing.
"The emperor, it's a slave who doesn't teach well. These are the two girls under me." Zhiqiu didn't even get Shen Xiyao's permission to kneel before Shen Xiyao, and said with trembling.
Shen Xiyao glanced at her, eyes full of gloom.
"The emperor," Zhiqiu seemed to have some conspiracy, and his eyes flashed and quickly said: "Don't hide from the emperor, Xie Niang was sent by the emperor Zhaorong. She said that she was sent by the emperor, but she never saw the paper..." She glanced at Li Fei hurriedly, a little bit of inviting credit.
Before she finished her words, she only heard Shen Xiyao's anger: "Shut up!"
His anger seemed to leak little by little from a small torn seam, and this seam would get bigger and bigger, until in the end, all the raging anger would pour out, and then, it would be a storm that could not stop anything.
"The emperor, Xie Niang..." Yi Zhaorong also panicked at this time, kneeling at the feet of Shen Xiyao. She must be wondering, it was Shen Xiyao who personally agreed, why is there such a great anger at this time?
In her impression, or even in the memories of all the concubines, I am afraid that she has never seen Shen Xiyao such a gaffe. He is the supreme emperor, always burying his deepest emotions under a faint smile. As it is now, no one can see that the emperor is angry.
However, a low-level court lady spied out of curiosity, why is he so?
Maybe, only I know why.
Because, I call myself Xie Niang, not... Wei Er.
My heart was flustered, and Xiao Rong was so frightened that she passed by. I saw Shen Xiyao staring at me closely, his eyes like a sharp sword.
"Xie Niang..." He squeezed these two words from between his teeth, each with hatred: "Xie Niang!"
In the exclamation of everyone, the mahogany table in front of Shen Xiyao was overturned, and the exquisite food was scattered all over the place. The delicacies on the golden plate and jade plate became a mess, and the concubines all knelt on the ground in horror. Quietly looking at each other, I don't know why.
Shen Xiyao passed the concubines and came straight to me. I looked up at him, and in the dark and deep eyes, the vigorous anger was already surging out. I was full of fear, seeing him pull me up, and even dragged away without waiting for me to stand up straight.
"The emperor!" I whimpered, and he ignored me.
"The emperor!" I called again, only to feel a slight pain in my leg, and his arm was also sore by him, almost dislocated.
Shen Xiyao still did not speak, nor stopped.
"Haruka." I blurted out, and I was stunned. This is what I once called him intimately, although it is very rare, but he always hears it very happy.
Shen Xiyao was startled, and Yi Zhaorong who was not far away was also startled, staring at me with doubting eyes.
Shen Xiyao finally stopped, but he did not let go of his grasping my hand. I even felt that he was restraining himself from exerting any force, and my wrist was almost cut off by him.
I staggered and stood up in embarrassment, with blood stains on my legs, which were scratched by small stones in the grass and fragments of the disc, which were particularly obvious under the damaged skirt.
Shen Xiyao lowered his head slightly, his eyes fell on the bright red, the pity in his eyes only swept away, and his anger immediately ignited. He suddenly bent over and picked me up, striding out of Wuling Spring.
The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and it is normal for the rain to come suddenly in the spring. There are cumulus clouds in the morning, and now it feels more stormy. There is a light floral fragrance in the wind mixed with a faint smell of muddy smell, accompanied by the fine dust raised by the wind, it swoops down on the face, and there is a slight pain. My leg was pierced and pulled, and I frowned slightly, my heart beating wildly with tension and fear, not knowing what I was about to face.
But I know that the emperor's anger will eventually be unavoidable.
A little bit of rain fell down, and it suddenly occurred to me that when we first met, it was also a rainy day. The sudden and majestic rain brought me into the place where the supreme woman could never enter, and also brought me into the young emperor. In the heart. But now, the heavy rain has long since ceased to exist, and the woman in the emperor’s heart may have disappeared with the rain.
Shen Xiyao didn't care about the increasingly rushing rain. He just walked fast, full of anger at every step, stepping on the moist ground, splashing small water.
I only buried my head, and my veil fluttered with the wind, like the shadow of the wind, and it seemed to have lost the heart of support, precarious.
I didn't dare to look at him, I was afraid that the anger would instantly ignite on my body. I was the fuse, and at this moment I only added fuel to the fire.
Zhang Dehai couldn't even keep up with Shen Xiyao's footsteps. I could only see Shen Xiyao's dark red robe from outside of Shen Xiyao's broad shoulders. The color that was supposed to be festive was bleak in the moisture. He didn't dare to shout, because he who had served Shen Xiyao for many years knew the emperor's temperament.
Every step of Shen Xiyao's footsteps is heavily on my heart. I closed my eyes until I felt like breaking into a warm and dry place. Before I could see where I was, I was thrown out heavily.
"Xie Niang...Xie Niang..." Shen Xiyao kept repeating those two words through gritted teeth, and every time he said it, the anger in his eyes increased. I just think that every word he has brewed in hatred for a long time before spit it out. His face became more and more gloomy, heavier than the wind and rain raging outside the house, as frightening as the sudden storm of summer.
