Chapter 1365 Situ Changge's Impulse (4)
Although her infatuation was well-known in the capital, he never took her seriously. He did not respond to her enthusiasm at all, and even looked at her coldly when he saw her.
However, she was not discouraged, because he also did not take other women seriously. Princess Helana of the Xianbei Kingdom, the daughter of the general who protected the country, and countless daughters of famous families who came one after another, he did not take them seriously.
She knew that he was arrogant and mediocre women were not in his eyes at all, so she worked hard to improve herself. She tried to learn poetry, songs, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even astronomy, geography, medicine, divination and astrology, just to accompany him one day, so that he would not think she was boring.
She waited silently, without regrets, not as ostentatious as Helana, nor as impatient as Li Ruizhu. She firmly believed that as long as she kept waiting for her, there would always be a day when the clouds would clear and the moon would shine.
Later, he had a beloved!
When she learned that he was engaged to her, her heart was broken. She had seen the woman he was engaged to at the Shangsi Festival. She was a rare and exquisite beauty. Not only him, but even the Khan of Liaodan State coveted her. At that time, she still held a glimmer of luck, thinking that the woman was just a vase with nothing but appearance, and would lose his heart sooner or later. It was not until the day of their wedding that he publicly issued an edict that he would never take concubines for life, and she would always be the only one in the harem. She panicked and suddenly realized that she could not wait like this any longer. If she did not take the initiative, she was destined to miss him in this life.
So, despite her parents' earnest advice and strong opposition, she insisted on entering the palace as a maid. She thought that as long as she had the opportunity to be alone with him, with her talent and knowledge, he would definitely notice her and slowly develop a good impression of her.
She did not expect to snatch him from the queen, and she did not even have the idea of sharing the same beauty. As long as he left a small space for her in his heart, enough for her to gain a foothold, it would be fine.
However, this humble thought was also broken by him.
It's not that he didn't take her seriously, and he felt very uncomfortable seeing her. She didn't know what she had done to make him so disgusted, but she clearly understood that in his heart, no one should think of interfering in his and the queen's life.
Her heart, like the tears sliding down from the corners of her eyes, was broken all over the floor...
She covered her chest and coughed weakly. Her throat was so dry that it seemed like it was on fire, but she didn't even have the strength to get up and pour a glass of water.
After struggling for a few times, she gave up. It didn't matter. She couldn't go home anymore, and there was no place for her in the palace. It was better to die...
She slowly closed her eyes and waited, waited...
The door opened with a creaky sound, and Huanqiu pushed the door open and walked in, followed by two humble little palace maids. One of them held a plate with a bowl in it, and the other also held a plate with a white cloth inside.
Ning Huaixiu opened her eyes slightly, her eyes fell on the hands of the two maids, and her heart sank.
He must hate her to the extreme, and he can't let her live, so he came to send her away. The two trays must contain poison and white silk, all used to send her away!
When Huanqiu approached, she opened her dry and cracked lips and said bitterly: "Sister Huanqiu, but the emperor ordered you to come."
Huanqiu said coldly: "The emperor is busy with government affairs, how can he have time to issue an order to a maid? It was the queen who ordered us to come. Miss, get up and drink the medicine quickly, this is the queen's gift!"
