Chapter 285 There’s Something Wrong with This Eunuch (41)
"It hurts a lot."
The pain on Xu Zijie's face was genuine, and the bulging blue veins on his forehead showed that he was enduring it.
He seemed to be afraid that his hand would hurt Sang Tian, so he didn't dare to touch her again and slowly lowered his arm.
"Tell me why, why are you working so hard for me?"
Sang Tian lowered her head in silence for a while and then slowly raised her head.
"Because I want you to feel that there are still people in this world who love you."
Xu Zijie touched her neck with a strange look in his eyes, which looked a little creepy in the moonlight.
"Then can you stay here with me for the rest of your life, or I can take you away."
Xu Zijie's eyes made Sang Tian feel inexplicably uneasy. She always felt that he seemed to know something.
Or maybe Xu Zijie seemed to realize that she was helping him for a purpose.
She knew that she couldn't stay here for long, and what she had to do now was to use her life in exchange for the desire to live in Xu Zijie's heart.
Faced with Xu Zijie's question, Sang Tian could only lower her head guiltily, not daring to look into his eyes.
Xu Zijie didn't make things difficult for her. He took her hand and brought her back to his residence.
When Xu Zijie was applying medicine to her, he looked at her and stared into her eyes, as if he wanted to see through what she was thinking.
Xu Zijie held her hand tightly all night.
The two people's black hair was entangled together, which was extremely ambiguous. Xu Zijie's little finger was hooked with Sang Tian's finger.
He closed his eyes and sniffed the scent of Sang Tian.
Sang Tian did not fall asleep that night. She let Xu Zijie hold her hand.
The next morning, while Xu Zijie was still sleeping soundly, Sang Tian had already quietly gotten up.
She stood beside the bed and quietly looked at Xu Zijie's handsome sleeping face, feeling very reluctant to leave.
She slowly lowered her head and placed a light kiss on his forehead.
After Sang Tian left, Xu Zijie, who had his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes. He looked deeply at Sang Tian's back as she left.
Sang Tian obediently poured the poison into the imperial concubine's food.
Soon the imperial concubine became poisoned and the emperor rushed over.
The queen pretended to be angry and said in front of the emperor that she would investigate the matter thoroughly.
The queen turned around and kept winking at Sang Tian, asking her to leave.
Sang Tian seemed not to see her gaze and stood up and knelt in front of the emperor.
"Your Majesty, it was the Queen who asked me to do this. She threatened my brother's life."
As she spoke, Sang Tian took out the notes that the Queen had written to her over the years and placed them in front of the Emperor one by one.
The emperor's eyes changed instantly when he looked at the queen.
The queen was stunned for a moment, then she rushed over like crazy and tried to beat Sang Tian.
The imperial concubine lying on the bed looked at Sang Tian with a weak breath, "Why didn't you tell me? If you told me, I would definitely protect you."
Sang Tian looked at the imperial concubine with cold eyes, "Have you forgotten how you tortured me when I was still a little palace maid? How could I let go of a vicious woman who stripped me naked and threw me into the lake!"
Obviously the emperor did not expect that the imperial concubine, who had always been well-behaved in front of him, would do such a thing.
The imperial concubine wanted to explain but Sang Tian blurted out the fact that she had been cooking for the emperor.
The imperial concubine, who was originally hanging on by a thread, died immediately after being angered by Sang Tian.
Sang Tian suddenly felt the bad breath in her stomach was released at once.
She still remembered the slaps the imperial concubine gave her when she first arrived.
In order to prevent the scandal from spreading, the emperor ordered Sang Tian to be executed.
Sang Tian also knew that the emperor would not do anything to the queen, but it was good that just this one thing could let the emperor know what kind of person she was.
When the knife pierced her body and Sang Tian lost consciousness, she seemed to see Xu Zijie rushing over.
