The inner room was very dark at this time, the curtain in front of the bed was hung low, and a big skinny hand was pulling the curtain, as if trying to see the scene outside.
Zhao Nianze naturally knew that these hands were Concubine Yuxian's hands, so he quickly approached the bedside and held those hands.
When the owner of the hand tried to withdraw his arm because of uneasiness, Zhao Nianze suddenly called out, "Mother, my son is here."
Then, as if to let Concubine Yuxian see him clearly, and also for himself to see Concubine Yuxian clearly, Zhao Nianze just opened the bed curtain.
Concubine Yuxian was indeed ill. There was not even a trace of blood on her face at this time. Her pale cheeks and depressed posture made her look more than ten years older.
Facing Zhao Nianze who hurried over, there was no joy on her face, and her eyes when she looked at Zhao Nianze were also very indifferent.
"Concubine, I am Nianze." Zhao Nianze said softly.
He almost thought that Concubine Yuxian didn't remember him, otherwise why would she look at him with such strange eyes.
Facing Zhao Nianze's words, her expression was still very indifferent, but her thinking was extremely clear, "It turns out that Prince Liang is here. It's a pity that the guilty woman is very ill now, so I'm afraid I won't be able to pay my respects to His Highness."
Hearing Concubine Yuxian's repeated distant words, Zhao Nianze could only feel as if Monk Zhang Er was confused.
After all, no matter how angry Concubine Yuxian was with herself, even when he was angry with her for Su Zhirou, she had never addressed herself in such an unfamiliar tone.
Concubine Yu Xian then seemed to try to pull away her hand, but the moment she pulled her hand away, Zhao Nianze tightened his grip on Concubine Yu Xian's hand.
For some reason, seeing Concubine Yuxian act like this, there was only an unknown shadow in his heart. He felt that if he let go of his hand, Concubine Yuxian would leave him.
Although she is actually just a caged bird now, I am afraid that she may not be able to fly to the red-walled palace gate of this imperial city until she dies.
"Why should we, mother and concubine, be so different from each other?"
However, when Concubine Yuxian heard what he said, she suddenly became furious: "I am not your mother! Your mother has died long ago! Whoever wants to be your mother can be your mother! Get out of here! Give her to me immediately I’ll get out!”
When Concubine Yuxian said this, her voice was almost like shouting, and her struggle became more and more intense. Unfortunately, she was sick and a woman. Her strength was not as strong as that of an adult man.
It could be seen that she was resisting Zhao Nianze's approach with all her heart at this moment.
Zhao Nianze didn't understand what happened, and thought that his mother-in-law was blaming him for not being able to rescue her during this period. He just quickly lowered his head and said with shame, "Mother-in-law, it's because of the incompetence of my sons and ministers. Erchen has been searching for evidence in many ways over the past few days. However, the enemy is so cunning that they almost destroyed a large amount of evidence. It is Erchen who has made you suffer. However, Erchen assures you that no matter whether the real murderer is found or not, , I will definitely let you come out of the cold palace."
It's a pity that for Liang Wang who tried his best to guarantee, her eyes were empty.
She seemed to no longer care about where she was now.
She just said to Prince Liang again, "Get out of here! I don't want to see you again!"
Seeing Concubine Yuxian like this, not to mention Zhao Nianze, even Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
And after she struggled, she actually started biting Prince Liang's wrist.
She bit hard, and Zhao Nianze's wrist was only bitten with blood.
Zhao Nianze, who was in pain, naturally quickly let go.
As soon as he stopped her hand, Concubine Yuxian immediately hid behind the bed tent like a frightened squirrel.
Zhao Nianze covered his bleeding wrist and just wanted to open the bed curtain again.
Jiang Nianjiao on the side had already noticed that although Concubine Yuxian spoke normally, her spirit was obviously in a state of stress.
And this stress state seemed to be given by Zhao Nianze.
Therefore, Jiang Nianjiao just quickly grabbed Zhao Nianze and gently shook her head at Zhao Nianze.
Zhao Nianze also listened to the advice. After being pulled by Jiang Nianjiao's arm, he also put down the bed curtain dejectedly.
"Let me give it a try." Jiang Nianjiao whispered.
.
Then she looked down at Zhao Nianze's bloody wrist and whispered, "You should clean the wound first."
Zhao Nianze just shook his head and said nonchalantly, "It's just a small injury, but it doesn't matter. You used to be the closest to your mother and concubine, so go ahead and give it a try."
Facing Zhao Nianze's arrangement, Jiang Nianjiao nodded.
Finally, Jiang Nianjiao walked over slowly. As soon as she lifted the bed curtain, Concubine Yu Xian shouted loudly, "Get out of here! Didn't I tell you to get out!"
Concubine Yuxian's voice was very sharp, and she was holding a porcelain pillow in her hand. While she was scolding the outsiders, she just smashed the porcelain pillow on Jiang Nianjiao's head.
If Prince Liang hadn't had quick eyesight and quick hands, he pulled Jiang Nianjiao away and protected Jiang Nianjiao's head with his hands, Jiang Nianjiao would have been hit on the head and bloody.
After the porcelain pillow hit Zhao Nianze's hand, it hit the bedrail again. As soon as Concubine Yu Xian let go, the porcelain pillow fell to the ground, falling four times in an instant.
After Concubine Yuxian lost her powerful weapon, she just hid in the bed tent again like a turtle returning to its shell.
Although Jiang Nianjiao felt sorry for her, she still wanted to get close to Concubine Yuxian.
Zhao Nianze, who was bitten on the wrist and smashed on the arm, couldn't help but pull Jiang Nianjiao and said, "Concubine is emotionally unstable at the moment, let's not get any closer."
However, Jiang Nianjiao still refused to give up and said, "I'll try again. Don't worry, I won't approach you rashly again."
Seeing Jiang Nianjiao's promise, Zhao Nianze had no choice but to let her try again.
This time, Jiang Nianjiao did not directly lift the bed curtain. She only said softly, "Aunt, I am Jiaojiao, and I am here to see you."
After hearing these words, there was finally a movement behind the bed curtain, and then a pair of hands and an eye were very cautiously revealed.
Jiang Nianjiao felt that she might be confirming something, so she only motioned for Zhao Nianze to step back first, while she herself took a few steps closer. She said with some grievance, "Aunt, I'm here to see you, but can you please stop taking it?" Did something hit me?"
Hearing this sound, Concubine Yuxian's eyes suddenly brightened.
Isn't this just how charming she is?
She whispered, "Jiaojiao, is that you?"
"It's me, aunt." Jiang Nianjiao responded as she walked a few steps closer.
Hearing this, Concubine Yu Xian just hugged Jiang Nianjiao into her arms when Jiang Nianjiao came towards her. She said excitedly, "She is Jiaojiao, but she is not my Jiaojiao."
While she was speaking, her hand was only stroking the back of Jiang Nianjiao's head excitedly.
After Jiang Nianjiao got close to Concubine Yuxian, she could feel that her figure was as thin as a piece of paper.
Thinking of her living in the cold palace and suffering every day during this period, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but feel distressed.
After all, if she had not gone to find Qiu Wan at that time, but continued to investigate along with Aunt Yaoping's clues, her aunt might have been cleared of suspicion by now.
Aunt Yaoping might not die either.
And she doesn't have to be tortured like this here.
Therefore, after being held in Concubine Yuxian's arms, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help crying again.
She felt very regretful and guilty.
Concubine Yu Xian didn't understand what Jiang Nianjiao was crying about, but she still comforted Jiang Nianjiao very gently and said, "Gillian, stop crying. Is there anything in this life that a person can't overcome?"
When Jiang Nianjiao heard this, she cried so much that she couldn't help herself. "Aunt, I did something wrong. I'm sorry for you! I..."
At this moment, when she was being comforted by Concubine Yuxian, she even just wanted to tell Concubine Yuxian about the wrong things she had done.
But when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back.
She didn't want her aunt to know what she had done wrong.
"What's wrong with you?" Concubine Yuxian didn't know what happened to her, so she just asked after her.
After Jiang Nianjiao cried for a while, her mood became somewhat clearer. She just sat up straight in Concubine Yuxian's arms, and then she wiped the tears on her face with her hands and said, "Everything is my fault, aunt. I am useless, but don't worry, aunt, I won't let her stay here." It's been too long, I will definitely give my aunt her innocence."
After listening to Jiang Nianjiao
Concubine Yuxian didn't seem to care much about such a promise. She just hugged her knees with both hands and said with a confused look, "It's innocent and innocent. It's actually quite good for me to stay here."
Then she just chuckled at Jiang Nianjiao, her smile was like a fleeting butterfly stopping on her fingertips, "Jiaojiao, you don't have to think too much, as long as you are nice, then you can be considered an aunt." I'm not hurting you in vain. As for Yuxiu Palace, Jiaojiao, it's good for my aunt to stay here. At least this way, I don't have to face the faces of those who hate me, and I don't have to make excuses."
"Aunt, how can you think that? Did someone suffer for you? Tell me! I will vent your anger on your behalf." Jiang Nianjiao said indignantly.
However, Concubine Yuxian quickly glanced at Zhao Nianze, who was still standing at the door with a bewildered expression.
When Zhao Nianze received her gaze and wanted to get closer, Concubine Yu Xian quickly withdrew her gaze.
Moreover, Zhao Nianze could also feel Concubine Yuxian's rejection of him.
Concubine Yu Xian patted Jiang Nianjiao's shoulder lightly and said, "Who can make me suffer? Now there are only two people in this palace, Yan'er and me. Although this girl Yan'er has a crude temper, she is devoted to me, and I Although I can't go out, they don't deprive me of three meals a day, so I have nothing to feel wronged about."
Seeing that Concubine Yuxian looked normal and confused at the moment, Jiang Nianjiao was only dubious, but she never thought about it deeply. She just thought that Concubine Yuxian didn't want to worry her, so she made up these words to comfort herself, so she just No more clichés about how he will rescue her.
But at this time, she had already made a mental decision. Even if Feng Chen Palace was to be dragged into the water, she would never let her aunt suffer any more.
