Chapter 14: Seeking Humiliation
After sending Xiao Ye to take the new maid to familiarize herself with the environment, Su Minglang dismissed everyone and sat alone in the bedroom, looking at the empty room. Only at this moment did Su Minglang dare to breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, God had mercy on her and gave her, a dying person, a chance to start over, but she could not escape the fate of entering the palace. Everyone envies the richness and luxury of the palace, but only those who are truly immersed in it know what kind of bottomless thick mud is hidden under this bright and beautiful appearance.
However, in order to survive in this cannibalistic palace, Su Minglang knew very well that he did not have enough time to be sad about the passing of time. Since God had destined him to take this path, he would walk forward with his head held high.
If someone stands in the way of a person, he will kill someone; if someone stands in the way of a Buddha, he will kill the Buddha!
"Xiaoqing, Xiaohe!" Su Minglang calmed himself down and called out.
After a while, two young palace maids pushed open the palace door and walked in, bowing to her in unison.
"Little Master!"
Su Minglang waved his hand indifferently, "You two should prepare yourself and find some exquisite items from the treasury. Come with me."
The two young palace maids had no doubts, bowed their heads, replied yes, and turned to leave.
"Wait!" Su Minglang stopped them worriedly, "Pick something good, but it must not be given by His Majesty himself!"
"I understand, my lady!" Xiao He was the first to respond, bowed slightly and retreated.
Two palace maids were arranged here, and Su Minglang was not idle either. She removed the delicate makeup on her face and added a few strokes of makeup herself, changing her usual brightness and charm to look a little more haggard.
She learned this superb skill from a painter from the Western Regions in her previous life in order to please Xiao Heng.
When Xiaoqing and Xiaohe returned to the palace, they saw a frail beauty leaning on the couch. Su Minglang had plain makeup on, and her already pretty face showed a hint of sickness. The light in her charming eyes seemed to dim.
Qinghe and the other person looked at each other and saw a hint of shock in each other's eyes.
Xiao He held the red silk tray and walked anxiously to Su Minglang's side, "My lady, what happened to you?"
"It's all my fault for being so careless that I didn't notice that you looked unwell. Shall I go to the Imperial Hospital and get a doctor to take a look at you?"
"No need," Su Minglang shook his head, holding his forehead with one hand and gently rubbing his eyebrows, "I'm fine, I just didn't sleep well last night."
"You look so pale, you'd better ask someone to take a look!"
Xiaohe took the opportunity to show her loyalty and looked at Su Minglang anxiously. Xiaoqing, who was standing beside her, saw her like this and looked over worriedly.
"I said I'm fine!" Su Minglang stood up stubbornly, but unexpectedly fell forward in a trance. Fortunately, Qinghe and the others were quick to catch her.
Su Minglang slowly stood up with the help of the two of them. He was so frightened that his lips turned slightly pale, making him look even more haggard.
"Come on, take your things and follow me."
It was not until the group left Linglong Palace and headed straight for Jingyang Palace that Xiaoqing could no longer hold back and asked, "My lady, where are we going? You have prepared such a generous gift."
Su Minglang held Xiao He's hand and pointed to a golden plaque not far away, "Let's go to Jingyang Palace."
"Jingyang Palace?" Xiaoqing screamed in disbelief. After realizing that she had lost her composure, she quickly covered her mouth and glanced at Xiaohe cautiously. Xiaohe glared at her with disapproval.
"My lady," Xiao He asked softly, "Concubine Gu was humiliated by you a few days ago, and now you have just taken away her job. She must be waiting to cause trouble for you. Why are you rushing over here?"
"It's because I offended her yesterday that I have to come here today."
"What are you doing..."
Xiaoqing was interrupted by Xiaohe's eyes before she could finish her words.
Xiao He bowed slightly and didn't ask any more questions, "I think the young lady has her own plans in mind."
Su Minglang did not respond, but looked up at the vermilion lacquered door in the distance.
A golden plaque on the Jingyang Palace sparkled brightly under the sunlight. Su Minglang felt a sense of desolation in his heart as he looked at the golden plaque.
Those who have lived in Jingyang Palace throughout the history were in high positions that were difficult for the palace people to reach. However, even such wealthy and luxurious people could only be trapped in this piece of gold bricks and green tiles for the rest of their lives, like a canary with broken wings.
"Eunuch!" Su Minglang signaled Xiaohe to go forward and greet the eunuch guarding the gate.
"I am Xiao He from Linglong Palace. My young mistress is here to ask to see the Empress Shufei. Please, sir, let her pass on the message."
When the eunuch guarding the gate heard the name of Linglong Palace, his face changed immediately. He glanced at Xiaohe with fear, turned around, gave a few instructions, and walked in without looking back.
Another young eunuch also turned cold and reluctantly stepped forward to greet Su Minglang. "Su Zhaoyi, please wait here for a moment. The servants have already gone in to pass on the message."
Su Minglang didn't care about the young eunuch's rudeness. She came here today under the pretext of apologizing and had no intention of causing any more trouble.
Su Minglang stood in front of the palace gate, but the eunuch who was in charge of delivering the message never came back. The sun was getting higher and higher above his head, and the scorching sun made him sweat.
"My lady, it's been such a long time, and the eunuch still refuses to come out. I'm afraid Concubine Gu is deliberately embarrassing you. Let's stop waiting and go back!"
Xiaoqing wiped the sweat from her head angrily and glared at the eunuch guarding the gate.
The young eunuch was leaning against the eaves, so he couldn't get any sunlight at all.
"No!" Su Minglang let the sweat drip from his forehead and looked calmly at the palace gate. "If you can't stand it anymore, find a cool place to rest."
"How can that be!" Xiao Qing denied repeatedly, "My lady, it was Concubine Gu who came to trouble you yesterday, why do you have to humiliate yourself like this to make amends?"
"The reason here cannot be explained in a few words. Xiaohe, take Xiaoqing to find a shady place to rest! After all, I am the only one that Concubine Shu wants to humiliate."
If Su Minglang's haggard appearance earlier was pretended, then her disheveled appearance at this moment was truly endured.
Su Minglang was already standing there with his head spinning, thinking that if Concubine Gu Shu was determined not to meet him, he could take the opportunity to gain some reputation back.
The young eunuch finally arrived only after the sundial had moved again and again. He seemed to have stepped on the dots. At this time, Su Minglang had been basking in the sun for a full hour.
"Su Zhaoyi!" The young eunuch stepped forward and slightly bent his knees. "My queen wants you to come in."
Su Minglang nodded with difficulty, but just as he was about to lift his feet, he found that his legs were numb and limp from standing.
"My young master! My young master!"
Xiaoqing and Xiaohe wanted to rush forward to help, but they forgot that they had also been standing in front of the door for a long time. They took a step eagerly but their feet went weak and they both fell to the ground.
The eunuch who had delivered the message earlier had already left and was hiding aside watching their jokes.
Su Minglang lost his strength and could only watch himself fall to the ground. The hot ground scorched by the sun seemed like it could easily burn a familiar person's skin.
Su Minglang closed her eyes in despair, waiting for the pain to come, but she did not feel the burning ground for a long time. When she opened her eyes, she found a man she had never seen before standing in front of her, looking at her with a worried expression.
The two looked at each other, and Su Minglang only felt a breeze blowing, disturbing the hair of the person in front of her, and a light soapberry fragrance swirled around her nose with the wind.
"You, who are you?"
