It seems like I've been unconscious for quite a while. I looked around and everything was so magnificent. Where am I? It's so extravagant and ostentatious. "The lady is awake, the lady is awake! Go report to His Majesty!" I heard someone joyfully shouting, but I still felt dizzy.
Who is this lady? It can't be me, I'm just a concubine, not even qualified to be carried in a sedan chair through the main gate. That's right, not even qualified for a sedan chair.
" Yue'er!" I was stunned. Him? How did he... I looked closely and yes, it was him. I shifted away from him, trying not to touch him. "You're awake, that's great. I thought that sword would have killed you. Thank God." He was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe. Even though I was clueless, I knew his current status, despite not knowing the process. "What sword?" I asked eagerly. I remembered only receiving two blows, so where did the sword come from? His eyes darkened. "The queen was in danger, so I..." I didn't understand. Wasn't it just me being pushed out to block the sword that was meant for the delicate jade? "And then?" I urged him to continue. If he was in pain, then I felt at ease. Tell me with your own mouth what you did. He took my hand, trembled, and then struggled to speak. "I couldn't bear to see the world without a ruler and an heir, so I pushed Yue'er and blocked the sword." I had thought of everything, but hearing him say it made me feel relieved.
Seeing his expression, I felt at ease. "But..." he held my hand again. " Yue'er, don't be afraid. I have already elevated your status to noble consort." I didn't quite understand his meaning. Wasn't a noble consort still just a concubine? A more prestigious concubine? But of course, I wouldn't mock him. After all, I had been silent for a long time.
"Let's not talk about this. Yue'er, your awakening is my fortune. Your birthday is coming up. Do you have any wishes? Tell me, and I will do everything in my power," he earnestly said.
"Any wish is okay?" I seemed to suddenly come alive, feeling a glimmer of hope. "Then I want to leave the palace to see the fireworks and eat some pastries, is that okay?" I smiled as I made the request, but he responded with a somewhat sad and pleading look in his eyes, as if saying, " Yue'er, choose something else." Oh, it's not allowed. "Not allowed?" I asked, unwilling to give up. "Choose something else, Yue'er, choose something else," he said, furrowing his brow slightly and turning away to avoid seeing my disappointment. "Not even for half a day?" I relented and asked again. "No, not even for a moment. Yue'er, choose something else," he said firmly. "Alright, Your Majesty, I'll think of something else later," I lay down.
He certainly knew that I was distancing myself from him again, but he had no way to deal with someone who had done wrong. "Then Yue'er, rest well. I will prepare your birthday feast with Yu'er," he stood up and added. "Your Majesty, I've thought of my wish," I sat up again and spoke slowly. "I don't want a birthday feast," he paused, perhaps not expecting me to say that, but he nodded in agreement. I thanked him and lay back down.
Tears are very salty, and they will become even saltier. I didn't know many tastes before, such as the taste of love. But now I understand it very well, it's bitter and astringent but I think it's sweet.
At this point, I began to conceive a great plan. It's not enough to just retaliate against him and her, I want to destroy him. But how should I do it? As I thought about it, there was a sudden intense pain in my chest. " Nong Yue, remember, this pain was left for you by someone," I laughed and cried without making a sound.
