PFC Chapter 398 Betrayal
Chapter 398 Betrayal
The two maids waiting at the door looked at each other and whispered,
"Our Li Liang Di must have gone to eavesdrop on Yi Qiu Courtyard again. Alas! Everyone says that Liang Di is lucky. She married the most noble and handsome prince in the world.
But outsiders don’t know how hard it is to be unloved and live like a widow! And we are also looked down upon by others.”
"Who says it's not true? They are both the prince's women. Look at the one in Yi Qiu Courtyard. She is the most popular. Even if the prince was punished to guard the imperial mausoleum, the woman in the courtyard did not suffer any injustice.
Look at our master again. Not only is he all alone, but he can’t even be picky about what he eats and drinks.
Alas! When will this kind of day end? "
"Oh! That's it!"
The two of them sighed dejectedly as if they were in competition.
They all felt that the future was dark and that they had completely lost hope by following Li Liangdi. But their lives were worthless, and how could they be transferred when their voices were weak? !
*
What the two whispering people didn't know was that Li Liangdi, who was crying in the main room, was also crying with despair.
Suddenly, she jumped off the bed as if she was stimulated.
He walked quickly to a box closest to the wall, opened it tremblingly, and took out a black cloak from the bottom layer.
Li Baoqi held the cloak with lining in his arms, his face turned pale and blue, and he looked extremely gray.
He stood there trembling all over for a long time without moving an inch.
I do not know how long it has been.
Just when her hands and feet became numb, she staggered to the bedside, holding her cloak.
*
She murmured to herself,
"Why are you forcing me? Why don't you let me go? What did I do wrong? Why?"
One after another, tearful questions mixed with rushing tears flowed into the dead heart.
Finally, she picked up the scissors with trembling hands, shook open the inside of the cloak, and began to remove the lining bit by bit.
Suddenly her blurry eyes were shaken, and a piece of cloth shining with dazzling gold threads was revealed, and her hands trembled.
Li Liangdi was so frightened that she jumped up and down.
With a "click", the scissors fell to the ground, followed by another scream of "Ah?"
Looking again, it turned out that the scissors seemed to have eyes, and happened to poke the instep of her jumping foot.
Blood immediately gushed out from the instep of her foot and pain spread throughout her body.
"Oh, my feet?!" Seeing the embroidered shoes stained with blood, Li Baoqi, who was in unbearable pain, didn't care about the things in his cloak.
He sat down on the ground, hugged his feet and cried loudly.
Several screams and loud cries were heard, which frightened the two palace maids waiting at the door so much that they trembled in fear and reached out hurriedly to push the door, but the door had been latched and could not be opened at all.
"Master? Open the door? Li Liang Di? Liang Di? What's wrong with you? What happened? Can you open the door?"
The two men raised their hands and started banging on the door.
The heart-wrenching cries from inside were already breathtaking, and the two people outside the door were helpless no matter how anxious they were.
"Get out of here, let's use a hammer to break it open."
"Yeah!"
After no longer caring about anything else, a series of "bang bang bang" sounds of smashing and smashing were heard in the yard.
The two maids who were cleaning the house were so scared that they moved away from them!
Finally, with a "bang", the door was broken open.
*
The two maids threw away their hammers and rushed in.
"Hey, Liang Di, why are you sitting on the ground?!"
"Huh? Why are your feet bleeding?!"
After being shocked, the two senior palace maids quickly helped Li Baoqi up from the ground.
"It hurts! It hurts! My leg is broken! Wuuuuu..." Li Baoqi cried and was helped to the bed by two palace maids.
Suddenly, Li Liangdi's sight fell on that corner of bright yellow, and she sat down on the cloak with a thud.
The senior maid tried to pull the cloak away from under her buttocks, but Li Baoqi suddenly came to his senses and started yelling like crazy.
"Get out, all of you, get out."
The roar startled the two men, who thought their master had lost his mind due to the pain, and they hurriedly tried to comfort him.
"Don't be afraid, my dear. Sprinkle some golden medicine on the instep of your foot and it will stop bleeding!"
"Yes, Master, I will bandage it for you?!"
"Get out, get out, all of you."
Li Liangdi's expression had become extremely angry.
“Yes, yes…”
The two men were so frightened that they dropped their towels and medicine and ran away.
When he hurried out, he did not forget to close the dilapidated door.
*
The two frightened maids ran out of the door and then remembered that they had forgotten to tell their master.
"My dear lady, if you need anything, just call me!"
The sudden silence in the room made the two men look at each other, and they put their ears to the door, trying to listen to what was going on inside.
Suddenly, a loud "Ah" was heard again, the sound was so deafening that scared the two of them so much that they fell down on their buttocks with two big thumps.
Then I heard Li Liangdi yelling in the room,
"Go and guard the gate. No one is allowed to come in."
“Yes.”
The two senior palace maids grumbled as they climbed up, supporting each other as they limped to the gate of the courtyard.
*
When there was no more noise outside, Li Baoqi had already quickly sprinkled medicine on the instep and bandaged it with a cloth.
After doing all this,
Li Liangdi, who was already sweating from the pain, gritted her teeth and closed her eyes.
After a while,
She slowly opened her eyes and whispered through gritted teeth,
"Your Highness, please don't hate me. I have no choice. My only brother has been kidnapped and is about to die.
This is my father's only son who can carry on the family line. How could he bear to let his son die?
But an expert pointed out that only the Prime Minister could save his younger brother's life.
Your Highness, do you know? Their condition is that I go and ask Concubine Xiao for help. Hehehe…
But the Imperial Concubine asked me to hide this dragon robe in the East Palace...Hide it in the East Palace!"
When Li Liangdi said this, she was so heartbroken that she couldn't control herself.
*
Her tears flowed.
"Forgive me, I don't want to hurt you. But what have I gained since I married you?
You never gave me a smile. I never even touched a corner of your clothes.
Forget it, what's the point of saying so much? !
I have no hope in this life. Prince, between saving my brother and abandoning you, I have no choice.
I'm sorry! Please don't hate me."
Li Liangdi wiped away her tears fiercely and quickly took out the dragon robe's lining.
*
Finally, when she held the shining dragon robe in her hands,
She thought of that night when Concubine Xiao had secretly brought her into Ruyi Palace without anyone noticing.
Her heart began to tremble violently again.
That night, she knelt on the ground, and Concubine Xiao looked down at her with her big belly. Her words were still ringing in her ears.
"Li Baoqi, since your father asked you to come to me for help, I am not a cold-hearted person.
However, this life-saving favor is as great as the sky, and it is not so easy to repay? I must see your sincerity first, right? ! "
