Reborn as the crippled king's favorite

Concubine Jing knew that the emperor was suspicious.

From that day on, he no longer took the initiative to ask the troupe to sing for her.

But the less I see it, the more I miss it.

Perhaps it was because she disliked the emperor. She could only see more flaws in the emperor, but in her mind, Mei Yuzong was becoming more and more perfect.

This is the truth about the fragrance from afar and the smell from the near.

Just when she was about to lose her patience, Concubine Yun wanted to watch a show and came over to say hello to her.

After the queen's death, Concubine Jing's position in the harem was at its peak. She assumed the duties of the queen and many matters required her approval.

Of course, if someone can persuade the emperor, there is no need to report to her.

This time Concubine Yun wanted to watch a play, which was exactly what she wanted. However, Concubine Yun was afraid of disturbing her, so she planned to build a stage in the Imperial Garden.

"It's just a good time. The autumn weather is crisp and clear. The ladies in the harem are just enjoying the flowers and reciting poems. It's better to have some other pastimes. I went to the theater last time and found it a bit interesting."

Concubine Jing smiled and said to Concubine Yun.

Concubine Yun said in surprise: "That's great. This is the only fun in the palace. And I heard that the theater troupe is rehearsing a new play. If Sister Jingfei is free tomorrow, you should go and see it."

"Okay, I know this. If nothing happens, I will join in the fun."

In the Royal Garden, there are many people and many eyes.

But it is precisely because of this that she has a greater chance of meeting Mei Yuzong for a private meeting, and will not arouse the emperor's suspicion.

The next day, she went to the Royal Garden to enjoy the flowers in advance. Seeing that the theater troupe had already arrived, she stood in the shade of the tree for a while, and then turned around and walked out when Mei Yuzong saw her.

When she reached the hidden rockery, she made another excuse and moved away from the people around her.

Mei Yuzong is indeed here.

Concubine Jing's heart was filled with sweetness. She and he only needed to make eye contact to understand each other's thoughts.

"Miss."

Although his voice was hoarse, it had a hint of gentleness that made Concubine Jing unable to help but be intoxicated.

"Yulang, you used to call me Lian Mei. In fact, many things between you and me have not changed." Concubine Jing said softly.

Time was running out, and she didn't want to waste a single moment in small talk. She only hoped to get a definite answer from Mei Yuzong. She hoped that Mei Yuzong could wait for her in the capital.

"The common people don't dare." Mei Yuzong lowered his head.

"Why don't you dare?" Concubine Jing leaned forward eagerly, stretched out her hand and tightly grasped his slender but slightly rough palm.

Now, she lives in the comfortable environment of the palace, and her fingertips are smooth and delicate.

However, she suddenly remembered that her fingers were also very thick.

At that time, Mei Yuzong felt sorry for her and wouldn't let her wash or cook with cold water. As long as he was at home, his mother would not dare to embarrass her face to face.

But now, Mei Yuzong's palms are thicker than when she did rough work every day.

A trace of pain arose in her heart, and she sighed:

"You have suffered a lot in these years. Although the troupe has made a name for itself, your life must have been difficult before that. I really hope I can be by your side and share your burdens."

Having said that, if she was really asked to go back to the past, how could she be willing? It's just sweet talk.

"You and I have changed. Although Sister Lian has scheming intentions, she is simple-minded. Nowadays, the common people really cannot see through the Queen's thoughts, and therefore they dare not make unreasonable guesses."

"Yulang, let the past go. We should look forward." Concubine Jing held his hand tightly, feeling happy in her heart.

Because Mei Yuzong did not break away from her hand, it meant that he still had feelings for her.

"Yulang, are you willing to stay for me..."

Before Concubine Jing finished speaking, the laughter of a group of harem women could be heard in the distance. They came together to watch the show together.

Mei Yuzong quickly took his hand away from Concubine Jing, lowered his head and said, "The common people leave."

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately left the rockery.

Concubine Jing's brows knitted together.

This unfinished conversation made her uneasy. Halfway through the play, she joined everyone and enjoyed it together as if she had just arrived.

However, her mind had already drifted far away, thinking about Mei Yuzong's reaction and plans for the future.

She only hoped that the emperor would soon make the third prince the crown prince, so that she could make more promises to Mei Yuzong.

……

"I entered the palace yesterday and watched half of the play with Concubine Yun and the others. Concubine Jing made me feel as if she had changed. My father should have noticed something was wrong soon."

Murong Jiu said to Jun Yuyan.

Maybe Concubine Jing and the people around her don't feel anything at all, but in fact, a discerning person can see that Concubine Jing's state has changed a lot from before.

Perhaps few people guessed that Concubine Jing was in love, and thought she was proud of the third prince.

Jun Yuyan smiled and said: "My father is suspected of being seriously ill, and Concubine Jing has been with him for decades, so she can naturally sense that something is wrong."

When the time comes, Concubine Jing will naturally be in bad luck.

However, Murong Jiu sighed, "We have investigated the background of Leader Mei clearly, and he is indeed pitiful. I am afraid he also knows that there is a string pulling him to the capital, but he still comes, and he must be unwilling to accept it."

In fact, Mei Yuzong already knew that Concubine Jing was Chen Honglian.

A year ago, at an official gathering in Yangzhou, Concubine Jing's portrait was brought out. Mei Yuzong was the troupe leader, so he could naturally see it.

Of course this was done by Jun Yuyan's people to give Mei Yuzong a choice.

Of course he could refuse if he was asked to come to the capital to sing.

Including entering the palace, they could decline for various reasons, because without their troupe, there were other more well-known troupes in the capital.

Mei Yuzong entered the palace and saw Concubine Jing as he wished.

The conversation between him and Concubine Jing was secretly monitored, and they would be reported to Jun Yuyan soon.

Murong Jiu felt that the troupe leader Mei must hate Concubine Jing. His parents died at the hands of Concubine Jing, and he was betrayed and the voice he cared about most was destroyed. Then the troupe was targeted by bullies, and several of his junior brothers were beaten to death by bullies, as well as several junior sisters. He was robbed because he was too strong-minded and didn't want to be made a fool of, but he was tortured to death.

The old people in the troupe also took their money and ran away.

Only the children his father had adopted over the years were left. It was precisely because they were young that they were not bullied so badly by bullies.

In the years after Chen Honglian left, Mei Yuzong had been reaping the consequences of his temporary soft-heartedness.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the family was destroyed.

It is true that he did not remarry, but the handkerchief had actually been burned by him long ago. He had found someone to embroider it for him before he came to Beijing.

Concubine Jing only glanced at it a few times, but she still couldn't remember whether it was the handkerchief she casually embroidered for Mei Yuzong. It was not difficult to imitate it.

Concubine Jing can only be moved by herself, thinking that Mei Yuzong can't let her go.

"Does Ah Jiu feel that if he is sentenced to death by his father, he will be very unfair and pitiful?"
