I am the prince's favorite concubine, and the prince is very good to me, but he doesn't know that I am a spy of the enemy country.
For three years in a row, I secretly sent information.
Later, when the crown prince ascended the throne, he wanted to crown me queen, and I finally couldn't help but go to find the connector.
"I didn't become a queen in the mission, when can I withdraw?"
The connector was stunned: "Ah, the two countries made peace three years ago, don't you know?"
I'm also confused, so who has I passed on my information for so many years?
In the dead of night, the emperor hugged me affectionately: "Ai Concubine, I will read you some bedtime stories. 」
The more I listened to this story, the more energetic I became.
Damn, isn't that an intelligence letter I wrote?
The Emperor was stunned: "Oh, I took it wrong. 」
He slowly changed the book: "Once upon a time there was a mountain, and there was a temple on the mountain......
01
"What, made peace?"
In the deserted little inn, the table was slammed by me, and it was crumbling and about to fall apart.
The fat aunt on the other side was very distressed, and hurriedly stopped me: "Yes, we made peace three years ago, and our Feiyun Pavilion's stronghold in Qi Country has also been withdrawn, don't you know?"
I don't know!
I roared inwardly.
Feiyun Pavilion is an intelligence organization secretly established by the Imperial Court of the Leaving Country, and the organization will select suitable candidates for training and training, and then be placed in other countries to do detailed work and eavesdrop on secrets.
And I, Nie Weichun, am the chief of Feiyun Pavilion, since I infiltrated the Qi Kingdom seven years ago, it took me three years to capture the prince's heart, and it took me one year to become the prince's favorite concubine.
Then send intelligence to the organization for three years in a row.
Conscientious, diligent, and dare not be idle.
It is really a model of contemporary fine work.
If it weren't for the sudden death of the Emperor of Qi, the crown prince Shen Shen hurriedly ascended the throne, and at the same time waved his hand and said that he would make me the queen, I would not have rushed to the stronghold.
After all, I would never have done this kind of revealing identity before.
But I'm in a hurry!
When I first came to Qi Kingdom, the boss only said that I could lurk beside the prince, but he didn't say that I should be the queen......
If it's just an inconsequential little person, I'll fake my death and get out for the better.
This is the queen, and it will be difficult for me to get out of the whole body in the future!
Right now, as I sit in this dilapidated inn, I feel that the sky is gray.
It's like my life.
Leaving the country and Qi have always been incompatible, why did they suddenly make peace?
Forget it after the peace, why didn't anyone inform me?
If no one informs me, forget it...... It doesn't work, I'll have to go back sooner or later to settle the score.
I began to blame myself again, I was too happy on weekdays, listening to small songs every day, appreciating small flowers, and going to Shen Shen's study twice to pick up some useful news to pass on.
As a result, they didn't even know the news of the peace talks between the two countries?
Nie Weichun, you are no longer a qualified detail.
Two lines of tears ran down my cheeks.
The fat aunt sighed: "Don't cry, the organization may have forgotten to inform you, I'll go back and send a message back to ask, I will definitely arrange it for you!"
With tears streaming down my eyes, I grabbed her hand, "Please as soon as possible. 」
The queen's canonization ceremony is next month, and I'm in a hurry.
02
I put on my cloak and walked out the back door of the inn in full gear, and around a few alleys, I climbed into a ready-to-wear shop.
When I changed my clothes and came out of it, the maid Xiaorong was already in a hurry.
She walked quickly to me and whispered, "Mother, the palace gate is closing. 」
I nodded, "This shop has a new style of clothes, try more." 」
I raised my hand and handed the shopkeeper a piece of silver, "Wrap it all up." 」
The shopkeeper smiled and left, and I walked out of the shop and into the ornate carriage parked at the door.
I really want to close my eyes and rest, but Xiao Rong is a talker.
"Niangniang, are you still happy to go out of the palace today?"
"Niangniang, I heard that the canonization of the Empress of the Ministry of Rites has been almost prepared, Your Majesty really spoils you, and is simply responsive to your needs, if you want to leave the palace, you will leave the palace, and let the guards protect you. 」
"Niangniang is now the envy of everyone!"
Me: "......"
When I thought of Shen Shen, my head hurt again.
At the beginning, Shen Shen was still the prince, and he accidentally fell off the cliff during the spring hunt, and I approached him as the daughter of Orion and saved him.
Because of this life-saving grace, he took me back to the East Palace after learning that I was alone.
After three years of getting along, he has a deep affection for me and spoils me alone.
Outsiders all say that I came from the wrong way, but every time he hears it, he will be furious: "Concubine Ai's way is wrong or not, Lone knows better than you, and if you dare to talk nonsense, Lone will let you explore whether the Huangquan Road is right or not!"
Because of his favor, I have really had a good time in Qi over the years.
I pinched the circle of flesh growing out of my waist and sighed.
I don't know if the light function can't fly when I turn around and run away......
As for Shen Shen, I feel ashamed of him.
But there is no way, I can only make up for it in the future.
I thought about it all the way, and by the time I got back to the palace, it was already dark.
The great eunuch Fulai came over with a smile: "Niangniang hasn't eaten yet, has your majesty been waiting for you in Hanchun Palace!"
Oh, I forgot to say, Shen Shen is a clingy spirit.
03
After dinner, I freshened up and lay down in bed.
Shen Shen was wearing a thin middle coat and was still dealing with the folds on the side.
He had just ascended the throne and had a lot to deal with.
But he didn't want to stay in the imperial study, saying that it was cold and not as warm as mine.
He had a desk set up in my room, and he would play at that meeting in the evening.
Today I was stimulated, and I didn't feel sleepy after lying down for a long time.
Staring at the curtains above my head, I suddenly remembered something, and sat up in shock in my dying illness.
Now that the strongholds have been withdrawn, where has my information been sent for the past three years?
The organization said that I would regularly put the information on the back wall of the East Palace and count the third brick on the left, and someone would go over to pick it up.
I've been doing this for the past three years.
Every time I passed, the information I put in the previous time would be taken away and disappeared, otherwise I would have noticed that something was wrong.
The thought of this made my back ooze cold sweat.
The fat aunt said that everyone had withdrawn, so who took my information in the past three years?
The man knew that I was an enemy nation......
And why didn't you report me?
The more I thought about it, the more I couldn't help but exclaim, "It's broken!"
Bang Bang –
The fold in Shen Shen's hand was frightened and fell to the ground.
He turned his head to look at me, then bent down to pick it up.
"What's wrong with Concubine Ai?"
He asked me.
I turned my head to look at him, and my face was indescribably ugly: "I had a nightmare, I dreamed of myself...... Dying. 」
It's dying.
According to the iron law of Feiyun Pavilion, once the identity of a spy is exposed, he must commit suicide immediately, which is loyalty to the country and to leave dignity for himself.
Shen Shen didn't speak, his eyes reflected the orange candlelight, looking gentle and delicate.
I heard him sigh softly, then put down his hand.
"If you don't have a lonely companion, you will always have nightmares, Ah Chun, what should you do if you leave Lonely?"
I was stunned for a moment, and memories flooded back.
These words were made up by me when I was close to Shen Shen.
At that time, I had just been taken to the East Palace by him, and I was seriously ill, and I did not forget to abide by the principle of meticulous work during my illness.
I lied to him that he would have nightmares if he left.
From then on, I was with him every night, and if he wasn't there, he would take a robe that he always wore and put it on my pillow side......
After a long time, it becomes a habit.
Shen Shen got up and blew out the candle on the table.
He lay gently beside me and reached out to take me into his arms.
"Isn't that better?"
I nodded, smelling the familiar smell of his body, and I felt a little sour on the tip of my nose.
"Alright, let's sleep. 」
He patted me, gently.
His breathing grew longer, but I couldn't sleep after tossing and turning.
Shen Shen was woken up by my toss.
He sighed helplessly, "Still can't sleep?"
I got up and wanted to go down, "I'll go to sleep in a side room, and I won't make any noise for you." 」
He chuckled and pressed me back, "It's okay, why don't you read you a story?"
I looked at him quizzically, "What's the story?"
He casually pulled out a book from the bookcase under the bed, and turned another page casually, perhaps he had just woken up and his mind was still drowsy, and he read it without thinking about it.
Shen Shen's voice was very good, and he was still a little hoarse at this time.
"On the seventh day of the sixth month, King Nanyang of Qi and Prince Shen Shen discussed in the East Palace, and the land moved against the south......
My eyes widened suddenly.
This, this, this...... Why is the fuck so familiar?
It's like an intelligence letter I wrote last year!
I turned my head and looked at Shen Shen in horror.
He paused, patted me on the head, and closed the booklet slowly.
"I took the wrong one, and I changed it alone. 」
Big brother, this doesn't seem to be something that can be solved by changing a book......
Shen Shen didn't realize it and opened another book: "Once upon a time there was a mountain, and there was a temple on the mountain, and there was an old monk and ...... in the temple An old nun?"
"What a mess of books. Shen Shen muttered, and then couldn't help but yawn.
"Concubine, it's time to sleep. 」
I watched him put the two books in the bottom case, then rolled over and fell asleep.
He must have been very sleepy.
I'm in great spirits, too.
His calmness made me doubt myself: Did I hear it wrong? Did he read my intelligence letter? It can't be, right? It sounds like that!
I got up lightly, and was about to reach over Shen Shen to reach for the box, but Shen Shen grabbed it with his long hand and hugged me into his arms.
Helpless: "Ai Concubine, Lone will go to court early tomorrow morning, you feel distressed and distressed......
I knelt down in front of him, holding my breath.
I wanted to wait for him to fall asleep before acting, but his arms were too warm, and before I knew it, I fell asleep.
03
When I woke up the next day, Shen Shen was gone.
Even with it, the little box is gone.
I broke out in a cold sweat.
Xiao Rong came in from outside: "Niang Niang is awake, the slave is waiting for you to freshen up." 」
……
Shen Shen was as usual, no matter how I tried to knock on the side, there was nothing unusual about him.
But the cloud of doubt in my heart became more and more solemn.
Half a month later, the splendid villa outside the palace came to send the queen's crown dress, and I found a note in the crown dress.
"Tonight, at the gate of Xihua, return. 」
There is a small Feiyun Pavilion mark underneath.
I suppressed my excitement and carefully burned the note.
The fat aunt is reliable!
Finally, these days of fear are over!
The old lady finally retired!
Shen Shen came to my yard tonight as usual.
I lit the incense, and within a few moments he was drowsy.
He closed his eyes and hugged me very tightly: "Concubine, I really can't leave you when I find Lone, will you always be by Lone's side?"
"Yes. I whispered to him as I slowly pulled his hand away from my waist.
Shen Shen had already fallen asleep.
I changed into my night clothes neatly, put my burden on my back, and before leaving, I turned my head to look at Shen Shen again.
He slept quietly, frowning slightly, as if he had dreamed of something troublesome.
I sighed, and finally I stepped forward and reached out to smooth his brow, then leaned over and imprinted a kiss on his face.
「沈慎，保重。 」
I'm glad I didn't regress too much.
There was no danger along the way, and finally arrived at Xihuamen on time.
I squatted at the agreed place and learned two cuckoo calls, but there was no movement there.
What's going on?
The person sent by Feiyun Pavilion is unreliable.
Seeing that the time for the change of guards was about to pass, I didn't care so much, so I jumped away.
In the shadow of the corner outside the Xihua Gate, a black shadow stood straight.
I frowned and walked quickly, "I just sent a code, why don't you keep quiet? You are from the Feiyun Pavilion? What......
I reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
The man's body stiffened, and he fell straight to the ground on his back at the slightest touch.
His face was pale and apparently lifeless.
There was a knife stuck in his chest, and the blood had dried up.
I was horrified.
The action is exposed!
I reacted quickly and turned to run, but there was already a silent circle of guards around me.
Broken......
A cool air rushed from my feet to my feet, and I saw the dark guards all turn sideways, and one of them slowly paced.
He was still wearing the bright yellow shirt I was familiar with.
There was only a robe on the outside.
Shen Shen looked at me from afar, his expression dark.
"Concubine. 」
I heard him call out to me.
The sweet and doting sigh of the past is now like the whisper of an evil ghost.
I was numb and frozen.
Shen Shen beckoned to me, "Come here. 」
04
I was put in the cold.
Yes, the cold palace, not the dungeon.
I'm also very strange about this, what is Shen Shen thinking?
Now that we have discovered that I am an enemy country, even if the two countries have made peace now, they won't let me go so easily, right?
There is fraud, there must be fraud.
I sat in the courtyard, took a sip of fresh fruit stuff, and frowned and pondered.
"Yo, isn't this Concubine Rong who is about to be canonized as the queen?"
A delicate female voice came in from outside the door.
I turned my head to look over, and I saw a delicately dressed woman walking slowly with her chin slightly raised.
Oh, it is the daughter of the left prime minister of Qi State, Lin Shuang, and one of the concubines who entered the palace after Shen Shen ascended the throne.
In the past, she couldn't get used to me, thinking that I was born lowly and shallow, but she was afraid of Shen Shen's favor for me, and she didn't dare to deal with me openly.
But now, I made a big mistake, provoked the anger of the emperor, and the news of being sent to the cold palace spread in the harem.
No one knew what I had committed, but that didn't stop them from coming and falling into the grave.
Lin Shuang bore the brunt of it, she sneered: "Concubine Rong, this cold palace is hard, you are used to living a leisurely life, you must be ......."
Seeing the scene in the palace clearly, Lin Shuang's words paused, and then he gasped.
She looked at the fruit-stuffed pastries on the table, then at the palace maid playing a fan on the side, and finally at the magnificent decorative ornaments in the palace, and her brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
"This is the Cold Palace?!"
I was stunned, "Yes...... Right?"
Shen Shen said yes, then it should be.
Lin Shuang stared at me, and after a while, her brows furrowed: "You used money to buy off the housekeeper's father-in-law? 」
Convinced that I had lost my favor, she slowly walked up to me, raised her hand, and lifted my fruit bowl and pastry: "Those who have made mistakes deserve to eat these?"
Me: "......"
What a waste of food?
I was a beggar before I joined Feiyun Pavilion, and spoiled food was a common thing for me, and even after life got better, I always cherished food.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look up and glare at her.
Lin Shuang was angry: "You still dare to stare at me?!"
I had something on my mind, and I really didn't have time to talk to her: "If you're okay, let's go." 」
Lin Shuang was surprised: "You still dare to drive me?!"
"Or else?" I pointed to the stone bench in front of me, "Sit down and have a meal?"
She snorted coldly and sat down directly on the stool: "You don't dare me?"
It was indeed time for dinner, and when plate after plate of delicacies was served, Lin Shuang exclaimed, "Nie Weichun, how much silver did you give to the housekeeper's father-in-law?"
I just laughed and didn't say anything.
Girl, you don't understand.
I told her, "I know you're probably hungry when you look at this table, but don't be hungry yet, there's no one coming." 」
Lin Shuanghu looked at me suspiciously, looked behind her, and sighed, "People are here. 」
Shen Shen walked leisurely, and raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw Lin Shuang: "Why is Concubine Lin here today?"
"Alright, let's eat, I'm hungry. 」
I said and started eating first.
Lin Shuang stood up with his hands and feet and saluted, and then said with a dull gaze, "The concubine does not disturb Your Majesty and ...... Concubine Rong had dinner and retired first. 」
She walked out hand and foot again.
Out of the gate, Lin Shuang took a deep breath: "Who said that Nie Weichun fell out of favor and washed his face with tears all day long in the cold palace?"
It's just a rumor!
After falling out of favor, can the emperor still come over to eat with her every day? Can you still say "love concubine" on the left and "love concubine" on the right?
Lin Shuang had already understood.
Nie Weichun just moved, that's it.
05
As a client, I looked at Shen Shen, who was eating slowly, and had countless questions in my heart.
But after all, they all swallowed it in their stomachs, because Shen Shen didn't like to talk when he ate.
After Shen Shen finished eating, he raised his eyes and looked at me with a smile: "Why doesn't Concubine Ai eat?
Thank you, can't eat.
I used to think that Shen Shen was a loyal and honest man, but now I realize that I have never known him.
I don't know what he is to see through my identity, I don't know why he left me alive, and I don't know what he means by smiling at me at this moment and calling me "concubine"?
Shen Shen's mind is too deep, I can't guess.
He beckoned to the back, and Fulai stepped forward with a jug of wine.
Shen Shen said, "This is a newly made wine brew from the Imperial Dining Room, it tastes sweet and clear, can you taste it?"
I looked at the white porcelain vase and remembered the scripts I had read, and my heart suddenly dawned.
This is, finally asking for a cup of poisoned wine to send me on my way, right?
Also, I have deceived him by his side for so many years, Shen Shen should not be able to bear it if he is a normal person.
Let me die a dignified death, it should be his last mercy.
I took the wine he handed me and rubbed the smooth glass, my hand trembling a little.
After all, people are afraid of death.
Seeing that I didn't move for a long time, Shen Shen called softly, "Ai Concubine?"
I subconsciously said, "Don't rush. 」
The courage to die is brewing.
After a pause, I looked up at him, "I still have something to tell you. 」
As soon as Fu Lai heard this, he consciously led the palace maids serving on the side to a distant place.
Only me and Shen Shen remained.
I took a deep breath and poured out all the words that had been in my chest all this time.
"I am a fine work cultivated by the Feiyun Pavilion of the Leaving Country, I came to the Qi Kingdom seven years ago, approached you, and have been lurking by your side ever since. 」
"yes, I know. 」
Shen Shen's voice didn't fluctuate much, and he was not surprised.
I said, "I have been by your side for the past few years, and I have been fortunate to have your favor, and I have had a very good life...... But I did send a lot of information back from you, it is reasonable for you to hate me and complain about me, I have nothing to say, I have to say sorry to you for lying to you for so long. 」
"Okay, I accept. 」
Looking at his face, I mustered up the courage: "Actually, I really like you, since I was a child, no one has ever been so kind to me, you will sleep with me, read me stories, take me to enjoy the flowers in the spring, take me to see the snow in the winter, you will teach me to read and write, and you will also tell me that women can live for themselves, but I can't live for myself. 」
Shen Shen's voice was very gentle: "Do you remember everything?"
"Yes. I nodded: "I remember how good you are to me, so I am also trying my best to be good to you, but Shen Shen, we are not destined to be the same kind of people, I can only pay you back in the next life." 」
I said this sincerely, and my eyes were a little sour.
After saying these heartfelt words, I was relieved.
Shen Shen was stunned: "You..."
Before he could finish, I drank it all.
The sweetness spreads from the mouth.
Hey, this poisoned wine is pretty good.
I'm going to die anyway, so I just brought the flask and drank several glasses in a row. The royal poison does taste good.
It doesn't hurt yet.
Thinking back on this life.
I suddenly felt like I was actually quite happy.
Except for a little hardship when I was young, I never suffered again.
According to the iron law of Feiyun Pavilion, I should have committed suicide when I was discovered, but Shen Shen acted too fast, and people confiscated my weapon poison, and cautiously even checked between my teeth.
I thought he was going to keep me for interrogation......
Thanks to him, I walked decently and without pain.
My head began to feel groggy and I couldn't see clearly.
Shen Shen stretched out his hand and hugged me.
I took his hand, buried my face in the palm of his hand, and slowly closed my eyes.
06
I opened my eyes the next afternoon.
With a splitting headache, I sat up on the bed.
"Niangniang, are you awake?" Xiao Rong came over to help me: "Yesterday, you drank a whole pot of wine, and you got drunk directly, but Your Majesty brought you in. 」
I didn't hear what she was saying, there was only one thought in my head, why wasn't I dead yet?
The wine...... Is it really just regular liquor?
But I also said my last words!
So, my last words have now become affectionate confessions?!
I might as well be dead.
I fell on my back on the bed, and I just felt that life was not interesting.
Xiao Rong was still chattering: "Your Majesty has been with you all night, and he left at dawn, he said to let you wait for him, he will come over at night to say something important." 」
