Chapter 1143: Prince Li’s Extra: Concubine Dong Complains
Concubine Dong Guifei has been crying since she left Ruyi Palace.
She did not go to Zhuoyao Palace to see the scene after the fire, nor did she return to the Dragon Palace. She stayed on the road that Murong Kai must pass after he retired.
Every time she was wronged, she would stay here and let Murong Zheng know immediately.
Of course, such humiliation as today has not happened for many years.
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. It seemed that everything had changed since Murong Kai came back. Grandma Li died, Zhuoyao Palace burned down, and although the emperor was very kind to her, there seemed to be a barrier, even all the time. The queen who kept a distance from herself was also openly hostile to herself.
She was now eager to know the emperor's position. She hoped that the emperor would still stand on her side as before, but she had a vague feeling that the emperor's choice would not be what she thought.
There was nothing major in the morning court today, but Murong Zheng was upset because of the affairs in the harem. He got angry over trivial things, and was very angry until he left the court.
But after his anger passed, his heart calmed down a lot. He was thinking about going to Ruyi Palace to see Concubine Jin and Murong Kai after he retired from the court. However, he didn't want to just leave the court when he saw Concubine Dong, standing beside him with a sad face. On the only way back to the palace.
She wore a water-red dress today, which looked like a burning fire in the morning light. Looking at it from a distance, Murong Zheng couldn't help but think of the flamboyant and beautiful girl in Ruyi Palace yesterday. But when he got closer, what he saw was Concubine Dong Guifei's well-maintained but no longer young face, especially that look. The aggrieved look ruined the beautiful scenery before.
Murong Zheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Even though he had loved her for so many years, he still didn't like her in his heart.
"Don't wear this color again." Murong Zheng approached Concubine Dong and took the handkerchief she was holding to wipe away her tears. The delicate and frail person cried so hard that the handkerchief was not even wet with tears.
"Your Majesty, you said that this color looks best on me and suits my skin color best." Concubine Dong Guifei was a little confused. The emperor saw that she felt wronged. Shouldn't he ask himself the reason first? He felt wronged and this dress What does it matter?
"More than ten years ago, when you were a young girl, you looked really good in such a bright red. But now, you and I are old and can no longer match this color."
Murong Zheng couldn't help but sigh, but in his heart, he was thinking of another woman wearing water-red clothes more than ten years ago. At that time, she was also as public as the scorching sun, but in just ten years, she became as quiet as the moon.
"I have been wearing this crimson color for ten years, and I also wanted to try other reds, but..." Concubine Dong Guifei saw that the emperor was acting uncharacteristically, and she was already thinking about how to let the emperor know her grievances, so she followed the crimson color and spoke, "The Queen will not allow it. The person she hates the most right now is me. Your Majesty, I really love you. The Queen cannot tolerate even one person who loves you sincerely. She..."
Murong Zheng watched Concubine Dong clinging to the queen aggrievedly. He couldn't help but stop and looked at Concubine Dong as if examining her. After a long time, he asked, "Have you gone to Ruyi Palace?"
Morning and evening, Murong Zheng ordered Concubine Dong to be exempted more than ten years ago. The empress had always kept a distance from Concubine Dong. Therefore, Concubine Dong was bullied by the empress when she saw her. There was only one possibility. She went to Ruyi Palace. .
Concubine Dong Gui lowered her head and did not dare to answer because she could not figure out Murong Zheng's thoughts.
Murong Zheng felt more and more depressed. She could even guess what Concubine Dong Gui did when she went to Ruyi Palace.
"Your Majesty, if I don't go to Ruyi Palace to fight, the Queen will really not be able to tolerate me anymore, and she will kill me."
As Concubine Dong Gui spoke, she wanted to get closer to Murong Zheng, but she didn't expect that Murong Zheng had already moved away from her when she got closer.
"I know the Queen's character best. Don't mess with her in the future." After Murong Zheng finished speaking, he left. Concubine Dong Guifei followed him staggeringly, looking more flustered than ever before.
