Zhang Fei lay quietly and grimaced occasionally. At his side, the Peach girl with jet black hair and depressed face was busy massaging and compressing her knees.
The Peach Girl sat next to Zhang Fei's bed, her eyes focused on her task. He massaged Zhang Fei's knees slowly, trying to make him more comfortable. He then took the cloth that had already been soaked in hot water, extracted the heat, then compressed it around Zhang Fei's knees. The girl's careful movements made Zhang Fei feel a hefty warm sensation to ease the tension in his knees.
Zhang Fei could not resist******** when the girl pressed deeper or made more intense movements.
"Aw.aw is...
"Daughter, this is a blister" said the sad peach girl. If Peach girl could, she wanted to replace the position of the princess who knelt all morning in the hall. But what power he can't do that.
"This is only the fourth day of the can, if it's too long, the knee can break mah"
("unfortunately, today there are two more concubines who passed out. Actually lucky enough to ever swallow that can maintain health for life.with that you do not have to fear fat is always young and what it means with knee pain hehehe ")
"aahh pain can not be lied to.Ahh who would replace me, ohh my knee"
"Damn, who the hell made a tradition like this? Ahhh mama's...
("patiently if the second decree goes down then it is guaranteed that you will not have to kneel hehehe")
"uh the edict?ohh I'm done " Zhang Fei said.
After four days spent kneeling in the hall, Zhang Fei's knees felt extremely tired and aching. Even though he had time to rest at night, the pain was still bothersome. His knees felt stiff and swollen due to the constant pressure. Even when he lay down, he still felt a slight discomfort.
Fortunately, the care of the Peach girl could still give her a little hope. But this kneeling event still could not be stopped.
Ten more days.
When everyone went to their knees again, the concubines in the Emperor's palace were still sincere to cry over the emperor's departure to the afterlife.
They were all already part of a highly structured palace system, where many of them were chosen at a young age and trained to serve the Emperor. The family hopes that with this, the concubine sent will get certain attention and status.
From his ascension to his death the Emperor had 1847 concubines. Of the concubines, only about 200 had ever actually met the Emperor.
But of those 200 people asked a handful who actually earned the title they wanted.
The 200 concubines were said to be lucky to meet the Emperor and spend the night with the Emperor even if only once in a lifetime.
If they can get pregnant they will get a degree and the title will increase if giving birth to a Son.
So when giving birth they also hope it is a son is not a Princess.
("the fight in the back palace is more sinister compared to the fight at the border there.on the border the fight is bloody but in the back palace the fight is not bloody at all but can destroy one family at once")
"Hem that's why I avoid living in the palace. No longer avoiding but I hate. But sometimes I wonder 'With that many women why the Emperor did not have HIV Hem's disease, has this disease not been created in the present era?" zhang Fei's.
The system talked a lot to comfort her while she was kneeling but it was not entertainment to be had but a sad story about the concubines.
("Hem had never been studied there but most of the Emperors were rarely past the age of 45. after all, HIV research does not exist today so it cannot be ascertained whether the young emperor who died was exposed to HIV disease, but it is also right, blame the Emperor Why greedy")
"but they are not entirely to blame this is merely a tradition in which the Emperor cannot resist when he is sent in concubines who act as if goods. concubines also could not be advised because they had no choice anymore.ahh living in the palace is not as easy as it seems"
("There you know but Ckckck sometimes what we avoid is what we get")
"yes .. sad it's "
When the Emperor died, the situation had already changed dramatically. The concubines who had a closer relationship with the Emperor, usually those with titles or who were pregnant, might face a more difficult fate after the death of the Emperor.
They will be sent to a temple or other place and live apart from the previous life.In the temple, long hair will be shaved clothes will be all simple, food there is also vegetarian food.
They must live to death.
So at this kneeling event there were so many concubines crying. The most powerful crying concubine was the concubine who would most likely be sent to the temple after the Emperor was buried.
While concubines that the Emperor never touched could go out and live freely as usual. But if they get a certificate from the department, then their status in the eyes of the community will also be higher. But the problem is not all mobile will get a certificate.
This certificate is similar to the trophy with the best concubine in forbidden city.
So these 'em, who will be returned to the house of birth, all have sincere smiles in between the crying.So, maybe just because they are sad to leave the place they have lived for a few years.
"So it's true people say there will be no true love in the palace ckckck.eh how is it with the current Queen yesterday she refused to cry and knee I think she will cry bloody now hahaha"
("Oh Okay let's check about the state of the queen, yes Hem ahh oh god, daughter, she.
"what is the system for books as well"
("Is Gimana don't want to be nervous try, it's the Queen, just now she was crying but now laughing might be crazy but..").
But in fact the Queen was talking about her desire to uphold a bowl of poisonous soup.
The queen felt desperate and took a drastic decision. He called one of his dowry maids to his private room.
The Queen said, "This queen has decided.This queen will never agree to be buried with the Emperor.This queen wants to end her life in a better way. Go, prepare the most powerful poisonx
Her dowry maid was surprised, whether it was the joys or sorrows this expensive servant had been following the Queen since she was still the Emperor's concubine until she managed to become a revered Queen in the dayun.
Facing that request of course she could not digest it well because for her the Queen was the number one woman in this dayun.
"My queen, please reconsider. There's another way...
"There's no other way. This is my last command. This queen will not accept rejection"
The maid felt desperate for not wanting to carry out the orders, but she knew that the Queen had made an indisputable decision.
The maid with a heavy heart said, "Well, this lowly queen will find the poison the Queen wants"
Some time later, the servant came again with a bowl of soup that had been mixed with a deadly poison. The queen sat gracefully on her chair and dowry maid, handing over the bowl painfully.
"The Queen, this lowly wish, in this lowly next life, will still serve the Queen"
The queen took the bowl with trembling hands."Yes we've been together since childhood and naturally want that but if there's a next life I don't want to be queen anymore it's better to be the wife of a poor farmer. If there was another life"
The queen drank the poisonous soup with a big gulp. After drinking the whole thing, he lay on his bed with a weak look. The servant stood by his side, trying to hold back the tears.
"Dang riong, I. I want.. look beautiful.. when I go. later.. make sure I look beautiful, in the afterlife I am afraid the Emperor mocked me.. she always liked pretty girls"
The waiter nodded sadly, holding back his cries. He was beside the Queen who was beginning to feel the effects of the vanishing poison.
Dang riong was the name of the dowry maid of the queen but it had been a long time since the Queen had called her by that call.
One more thing the Queen never calls herself me but "Queen" in her every word.
The Queen has given up.
"Uhuk.dang riong, take ..take the white cloth and put it on my body.I do not want this clothes to be soiled with my blood later...
a servant behind dang riong quickly took what the Queen wanted.
Dang riong, gently folded it a few times and placed it around the Queen's upper body.
soon the Queen felt the effects of the poison.His normally bright eyes now seemed dim full of helplessness that surrounded her.
The poison he had been drinking seeped into his body, making an unbearable sensation. The pain surrounded his stomach, causing his body to tremble in pain.
And...
Yuck....
a few mouthfuls of blood came out from his mouth and it made the white cloth earlier stained with blood.
"Queen...!"
Dang riong immediately cleaned the white cloth after which he knelt to say the name of the queen several times while crying.
"Queen!"
"it's okay.uhuk it's okay, I. I'll meet the Emperor soon. And..and asked why he did this to me,.ti.ti.it's okay dang riong"
His short breath was intermittent, and his weak hand grabbed the blanket tightly as he battled against the poison's deadly effects.
Her beautiful face immediately looked so miserable. In his final seconds, he did not struggle at all.There was no peace in his expression, only pain and helplessness were clearly visible.
"Dang riong..aku ..I want to ..be beautiful, remember that...
"Good, Queen,hiks..
"don't be sad, dang riong, I ..
In her deep sadness, the Queen may be pondering about the life she lived. Even though she held the title of Queen and reigned in the majestic palace, her heart felt hollow and disappointed. He may think about how his hopes and dreams were shattered amid political intrigue and the limitations of life in the palace.
"Queen.. queen ..!"
"Huhuhoo... The queen...!
Sobs and deep disappointment filled the quiet room. The Queen may reminisce about moments in which she sought meaning and purpose in her life, only to encounter disappointment and suffering. He felt a deep heartbreak over what he was going through and his inability to change his destiny.
In the atmosphere of the room filled with sadness, Dang Riong took a gentle step closer to the bed of the Queen who had left. He looked painfully at the face that was once so graceful and powerful, now resting peacefully in death. The Queen's lips still had traces of the fading poison residue and Dang Riong gently took out a piece of fine cloth to clean it.
Unbearable tears moved down Dang Riong's cheeks as he felt a deep loss. She wiped away the tears with her cleavage and then began her final duty as a dowry maid.
Carefully, she began to apply a thin layer of makeup on the Queen's face, covering up the tired scars and pain she had been through.
Every movement of makeup brushes, every gentle sweep was the last tribute Dang Riong gave to the Queen he had once faithfully served. He wanted to make sure that the Queen would leave with the beauty and dignity she deserved.
As she finished the final make up, she stared at the Queen's face with a sense of worth. Dang Riong knew that he would never again see the face of the living Queen. He took a deep breath, gathered the strength in his heart and with trembling hands, he closed the Queen's eyes gently.
Dang Riong turned to face the other servants, holding a bowl of poison in his hand. He said in a sincere voice, "If there is a next life, then let me be your servant again, my Queen."
The other servants watched this scene with mixed feelings of awe and respect. Dang Riong's actions were considered a priceless devotion to the Queen who had passed away. No one tried to stop him, because they understood that this was an expression of sincere loyalty and appreciation from a servant to the ruler they served faithfully.
Dang Riong immediately felt his knees weak and in his last seconds, he fell to the side of the Queen's bed. His body was lying there, his left hand tightly grasping the fingers of the Queen who was starting to cool.
"Queen, I.I'm coming..Ra.tu"
The eyes of Dang Riong who was full of loyalty and love still looked at the Queen's face tastefully. He felt his last weak breath and the life in his eyes slowly fading away. Now, she joins the Queen in another realm, no longer bound by the duties and loyalties that have bound her in her life.
Immediately the slave servant went to report this matter to Eunuch
But thanks to the gossip system he had, zhang Fei learned of the matter early.
With his position still kneeling, zhang Fei really did not know what to comment.
("If he went with the Emperor's corpse to the tomb alive, it must be unbearable.he would soon suffocate the silence and so on Before dying. So the decision to do it with poison, is probably the best thing. So he didn't suffer so much, ah in every area the woman must have been the one who suffered the most ckckck")
"Hem But I don't think , for the waiter why bego so much anyway. all his life he's been a dowry maid for the queen, for the queen, but instead pray if there's another life to be a waitress again, stupid right?"
I don't know what the waiter thought .So that he dared to commit suicide, even though he could still enjoy life naturally after the Queen died.
Let alone being a slave servant, be Zhang Fei's maid.
("Hey the mindset between the dowry waitress and the Princess is certainly different, say, you guys are another network okay")
"He doesn't know "
As system 'said, Zhang Fei would never understand the mind of a loyal servant at all.
Even the word faithful is not in the dictionary of his life. In his previous life zhang Fei had been betrayed by his own father and brother.
Where does that loyalty come from.
Everyone lives only for the benefit of each. Like the party of beggars and the orchid Pavilion, they were loyal due to the loyalty pills that had already been swallowed. Without that pill, they would probably have had a mind to be faithful.
Aye.
