Chapter 404 It's too hot for the eyes
The smile that Yu had tried so hard to put on her face suddenly disappeared. How could this happen? When she saw her master coming, she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart, thinking that the master was only ignoring her because of the royal punishment, and in fact, he still cared about her in his heart.
But now that she heard Sanguanbao's words and saw his impatient expression, she couldn't continue to deceive herself like this!
"What do you mean by this, Master? Have you forgotten the past... all the things in the past? I won't live for many days. You came to see me just to tell me that you have nothing to say to me anymore?"
Yu didn't want to believe it, and tears fell with a weak look.
"All the things in the past? I don't understand what you mean. We both get what we want. You are my concubine, you gave birth to a daughter for me, I doted on you, and even now, I have lost everything because of you, but this is also the retribution for my indulgence in you bullying my first wife. I accept it." Sanguanbao stood at the door and looked at Yu on the bed with a cold face, "You are still talking about all the things in the past? All the things? Everything you made me lose?"
"No! It's not like that. Master, are you blaming me for causing you to lose your official position? For making it impossible for you to enter the court again? But these were all caused by Concubine Yi and others in the palace. At most, I just relied on the master's favor to exclude the madam in the past." Yu didn't know whether she had deceived herself a long time ago or had always believed so. She never thought that her master's current situation was not caused by her, and she was just implicated. If there was any retribution, it was only the retribution for her past exclusion of the madam.
She was just taking revenge on the lady for her daughter, and would never involve her own master!
The master's current situation is due to his own inaction, and it is due to the cruelty of Madam and Concubine Yi. How can he blame it all on her!
"Do you still want me to tell you everything you said and did? I didn't kill you right away because of our past friendship." Sanguan Bao frowned. The smell in the room was too bad. He couldn't stay here any longer. "If you have anything else to say, say it all at once. I don't want to waste any more time."
He no longer had the patience to come here again and say those time-wasting words, and to look at the person he had doted on in the past to remind himself of his past stupidity.
Yu still wanted to deceive herself, but after seeing this scene and hearing what her master said, she felt that it was no longer necessary. Even if she wanted to deceive herself again, she couldn't pretend to be blind or deaf.
She could no longer deceive herself. In that moment of clarity, Yu looked up at Sanguanbao standing at the door again. It was the same person on the same day, but in just a moment, she felt that the person in front of her was different.
He never loved me, never. In his eyes, I was just a plaything.
Or maybe they just get what they want from each other, and she doesn't love him either.
"There is nothing more to say. Everything now is what you will be like in the future, my lord. I will be waiting for you in the underworld to see how you will end up being deserted by your friends and relatives." Yu closed her eyes and lay on the bed as if she had used up her last bit of strength to say these words.
Only Sanguanbao was left standing at the door, furious as a bull, "This bitch! She's an ungrateful person." He had let her go, yet she cursed him in the end.
Sanguanbao did not approach at this time, but just asked the girl to pay her wages and go home. As for the person in the house, Sanguanbao had his body burned overnight. The next day, a jar filled with powder was placed in the coffin. As for whether it was Yu's body, only Sanguanbao himself knew.
As for why Yu's body was burned, Sanguanbao gave the answer that Yu was sick and they were afraid of infecting others.
As for whether others believe it or not, what does it matter? No one who cares about Yu's family has been there for a long time.
What Sanguanbao didn't know was that his behavior had left certain marks in the hearts of other people in the backyard, such as his concubines, or even his illegitimate sons and daughters.
So when Sanguanbao became seriously ill, everyone seemed to be doing a very good job on the surface, but no one really took proper care of him, so less than ten days after he became seriously ill, he died with his eyes open, or in other words, he died with his eyes open!
Sanguanbao really regretted it at that time, but what’s the use of regretting? Only when he faces serious illness or death, he realizes that he regrets it.
In Wen Yao's words, it was not true regret, but just fear of death.
These are all things that happened later. At least at this moment, Sanguan Bao did not feel much regret. No! It should be said that he did not feel much regret, but there was infinite hatred in his heart.
In fact, Yu's death did not attract the attention of others. She was just a concubine who gave birth to a nobleman. She was gone, and it was even normal to lose a nobleman in the palace, let alone a concubine of a minister who was demoted to a commoner. It would not attract anyone's attention.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival so there is naturally a Mid-Autumn dinner in the palace. Not all ministers can attend this Mid-Autumn dinner. Only those who can attend are of high rank. And the women who can attend the Mid-Autumn dinner all have imperial decrees.
Another important event in the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is that Kangxi presents dishes to court officials. This is not to say how delicious the dishes are, but rather a symbol of honor and a declaration of the emperor's trust in the official.
In fact, all kinds of banquets are pretty much the same, and they are all quite boring to Wen Yao, but she can always find things to do for herself, such as turning on her pager and gossiping about everyone present.
[It's a bit boring, let's see if anyone here has any interesting things happen to them,] Wen Yao was already happy inside, [Wow~ There really is one? Isn't this a bit too awesome! ]
Wen Yao herself couldn't believe that there was such explosive gossip among the people present. [Then Censor Wang actually liked to be naked in his study? So his study was in a separate courtyard, and the walls of that courtyard were higher than those of other courtyards. The gates were all closed, and no one else was allowed to enter. Only his personal servant who followed him knew about it.]
Kangxi was listening to the game of couplets played by the ministers below. His expression was originally fine, but after hearing what Concubine Xiaojiu said, he almost couldn't maintain his expression and couldn't help but glance at Censor Wang.
Prince Zhi hugged his little Red Fish tightly, trying to ignore these words, but the old face of Censor Wang and his naked body kept coming into his mind.
Spicy eyes!
Prince Zhi looked up at Crown Prince Yinreng. No, he had to find someone to wash his eyes first. Then he saw the Crown Prince looking at him. The two stared at each other for a long time before they looked away in disgust, but they also breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
