Chapter 70: Little Orange Resurrected from the Dead
Chapter 70: Little Orange Resurrected from the Dead
Kunning Palace, greetings as usual.
Except for Empress Ye who was still in her bedroom, people like Concubine Luo had already gathered in the front hall.
As the concubines chatted and laughed, they talked about everything from makeup and jewelry to food, drink and entertainment. No one knew who started the conversation first, but they suddenly and enthusiastically turned the topic to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet two days later.
"Have you heard about it? The Jiaofangsi rehearsed a new dance for this year's Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet. I heard that the girl leading the dance is also a rare and stunning beauty in the world."
"A stunning beauty?" Is she going to come to the palace to share their already scarce favor?
When the concubines suddenly heard that a stunning beauty had appeared in the Music Bureau, they had different thoughts, but someone in the crowd let out a light sigh.
"Speaking of this Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet, the person from Fanghua Palace has been unconscious for four days, right?"
"That's right. She hasn't woken up yet. I don't know if she will wake up again."
In Kunning Palace, the most frightening thing is that the air suddenly becomes quiet.
Who is so stupid?
Do you have to be the troublemaker who ruins the atmosphere?
As everyone looked at each other, Wan Jieyu, who had been punished to copy the palace rules before, rolled her eyes with a listless look.
"Why do you care about her? No matter whether she wakes up or not, her charm makes the emperor unable to forget her." Wan Jieyu counted on her fingers. It was last month when Concubine Zhang had her period that she had the honor of meeting Emperor Yu Ji at Linfengju.
When she thought of the stunning beauty who performed dance at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Wan Jieyu became even more depressed.
"The grace is already limited. If there is another beautiful woman, I am afraid that my sisters will have no chance to see the emperor."
……
The front hall was noisy, but it did not prevent people in the inner hall from hearing it.
When Concubine Liang took out a peony and gold-plated hairpin from her dressing box, Queen Ye's indifferent voice also rang out in the bedroom.
"Do you think she will wake up?"
Concubine Liang paused her fingertips slightly. Through the bronze mirror that was wiped clean, she could clearly see the ruthless eyes of Queen Ye that ignored all of them concubines.
After a moment of silence, Concubine Liang sighed softly.
"Then do you want her to wake up?"
Does she hope so?
"You only see the new people laughing, and you only hear the old people crying." Queen Ye sneered, "No matter how special she is, she is incomparable to that bitch Jiang Mingyue."
"And he—"
Empress Ye suddenly raised her eyes meaningfully. Only through a bronze mirror, when her eyes met with Concubine Liang's, a sarcastic smile suddenly appeared on her cold face.
"Since he likes beauties, I will give him a beauty. She can be favored by the emperor just because of her face, and it will be even easier for her with a healthy body..."
After saying this, Queen Ye raised her carefully drawn willow-leaf eyebrows with disdain under Concubine Liang's helpless gaze.
"I was wrong before, but fortunately I haven't raised a tiger to harm myself. She dared to faint because of a beast vomiting blood, and made me tired to be laughed at by Jiang Mingyue. If she can't wake up, it's fine. If she can wake up, let her have a taste of what it feels like when the person you love falls in love with someone else."
No one knows how much humiliation she, as the queen, has suffered!
When Queen Ye clenched her fists, no one noticed that Aunt Ginkgo, who was standing in the corner, trembled almost imperceptibly for a moment.
When Aunt Ginkgo secretly looked at Queen Ye, Queen Ye was looking at Concubine Liang in the mirror, as if she was imparting her experience to her in a calm and composed manner.
"When employing people, you have to hire those whom you have trained and supported yourself, so that you can do the job more easily." Just like the current Concubine Liang.
Even though she had a child and was a high-ranking concubine, she was still as respectful and reverent to me as when she was in the palace.
Empress Ye was very satisfied with Concubine Liang's obedience.
However, her words made Concubine Liang worried. "What if the emperor doesn't care about the person you arranged?"
"…That's because you haven't met her yet."
As Queen Ye spoke, her beautiful willow-shaped eyebrows slowly twisted into a line at the center of her brows under Concubine Liang's puzzled gaze.
"It doesn't matter. I still don't believe that I have to rely on her to bring down Jiang Mingyue!"

Ever since Shen Qingtang vomited blood and fell into a coma, Fanghua Palace has remained shrouded in dark clouds.
After seeing off Emperor Yu Ji, Shi Liu hurried back to the bedroom.
She looked at the person who showed no signs of waking up, and was like an ant on hot pan, running around in the hall in a panic.
"The High Court ruled that as long as the depression is relieved, the young lady may wake up..." Shi Liu kept on talking, and suddenly grabbed Amber's hand, "Amber, do you have any ideas?"
Doesn’t Amber know medical skills?
Then she must have a way.
Under Pomegranate's earnest gaze, Amber's eyes turned red with embarrassment.
"Shi Liu, you blame me. If I hadn't been a poor medical student, how could the young lady not have woken up yet?" If she could do it, how could she not have realized the damage to her mind before?
Under Amber's self-blaming gaze, Pomegranate burst into tears.
"If we don't eat for a day, we will feel hungry and uncomfortable, but the young lady has been relying on medicine to survive these days. Look at her, she has lost a lot of weight now..."
Pomegranate sobbed and cried, making everyone feel uncomfortable.
An Lan fetched some water to wipe Shen Qingtang's body. As she wiped her body carefully with a handkerchief, the tears that had accumulated in her eyes could not stop falling.
Thin.
I have indeed lost weight.
Her cheeks, which were originally quite round, had shrunk visibly in just a few days, and even her small and delicate chin had become more pointed.
While Shi Liu and the others were silently shedding tears, a furry orange figure suddenly rushed into the quiet bedroom.
It has a nimble body and moves as fast as lightning.
Before Shi Liu and the others could react, he gathered strength and leaped up, quickly jumping from under An Lan's feet onto the bed.
"Meow~~"
A sweet cat's meow brought Shi Liu back to his senses instantly.
"Fuan, how did Xiaojuzi come in? Take Xiaojuzi out quickly——"
Just as Shi Liu screamed, Xiao Ju Zi, who had just jumped onto the bed, enthusiastically licked An Lan's freshly cleaned jade-like cheek with her pink and tender little tongue...
"Meow~ Meow~ Meow~" Cat slave, get up and play with this cat master~
“Meow meow~~”
Just as Little Orange was about to continue licking Shen Qingtang's cheek, Pomegranate rushed to the bedside and hugged it in his arms.
"Good boy, little orange. I'll play with you when the young master wakes up. Now let Fu'an play with you outside, okay?"
That’s right, the cat held in Shi Liu’s arms was not a substitute cat they found, but the real Xiaojuzi.
As for why the little orange that was peeled and had its tendons pulled out did not die, but was still alive and well, this is...
Holding the little orange in his arms, Pomegranate's face looked distorted.
However, just as she was about to carry Little Orange out, Amber's body suddenly trembled. When she looked up suddenly, her tearful eyes were frighteningly bright.
"I think I may have a way to help the young lady relieve her depression and wake her up from her coma!"
