Ye Ci's last scene was a conversation between Yingxiu and the emperor when they returned to the palace. Having dealt with his concubine, the emperor had followed the principle of "fifty boards". The next person to be executed was Yingxiu.
Lu Chuan sat on the Dragon Throne, casually flipping through the imperial reports in his hands while Ye Ci stood respectfully at the side.
After a long while, the emperor said as if he didn't care at all, "You …"
However, before Emperor Kang Le finished his sentence, Yingxiu had already kneeled on the ground. "Your Majesty, this servant is willing to serve you for the rest of my life."
Emperor Kang Le's banshou lightly knocked on the table. Beside him, the heavy fragrance of the incense wafted in the air, but the atmosphere was no longer relaxed and cozy.
"Just like this?" Yingxiu only listened to the man's words, but didn't dare to look at his expression.
"... This way... That's good... "
The scriptwriter did not write about Yingxiu's refusal to allow the Emperor for her to be admitted to the harem, but merely stated the facts. Ye Ci, on the other hand, could only guess.
Should she change from a servant girl to a master? If it was the Ye Ci of her previous life, she would naturally be willing to do so, because if she was unwilling, it would be a capital offense.
But film and television works are after all unrealistic, always willing to add some romantic element. Then, if she had the power to choose, would she become one of the tens of thousands of women in the harem?
Ye Ci's answer is no, not because of a modern man's so-called "yearning for freedom," nor because she still had any "love fantasy".
It was just because... In her previous life, she was used to seeing concubines in the harem. Whether they were women who were favored or not, they all had a common ailment — — loneliness.
If she didn't marry someone, Ye Ci wouldn't think about it, but after considering this aspect, she felt that in her bones, she was still a person who was very afraid of loneliness. If a commoner married someone, they would find someone to live together with.
However, if she were to marry into this harem that was as deep as the sea ….
Ye Ci didn't want to, because she didn't want to be lonely.
After thinking about this, Ye Ci's expression became a little lonely when she was interpreting Yingxiu, but her eyes were still firm and clear.
Lu Chuan, who was playing the role of the emperor, slightly frowned. He wasn't the least bit surprised when he heard Yingxiu's words. After a long while, he merely snorted lightly and spoke again. His tone was already void of any warmth — —
"If that's the case … Then you should go with the concubine and serve the empress dowager with all your heart. "
Yingxiu did not immediately speak up when she heard this. Her hand was at a place where the emperor could not see.
The camera had captured a part of it that was tightly clenched, exposing her blue veins … After a long time, the two tightly clenched fists were once again put down in vain, as if they had lost the last bit of their strength to struggle …
"Okay." After she finished speaking, Yingxiu performed the first great bow she had ever performed since entering the Palace. After three kowtows and nine kowtows, Yingxiu slowly retreated.
Xie Penghui's eyes were focused on every frame in the monitor, so he was the only one who saw that after Ye Ci had tactfully rejected the emperor, Lu Chuan handled every detail exactly the same as when he listened to the punishments from the emperor …
The two of them were expressionless as they clenched their fists before lowering them again …
When Ye Ci, who had packed her luggage, walked back into the crew and prepared to say goodbye, Lu Chuan was currently shooting a scene that Xie Penghui had decided to add. The content was very simple.
One day after Yingxiu left, Emperor Kang Le spoke without turning his head. "Yingxiu, go tell the imperial kitchens to prepare some porridge for us to send over."
The little actress who played the second class palace maid spoke up, "..." "Yes, your servant will go right away …" "Servant …" It's called Yinglian. " With that, the little palace maid slipped away without even looking back.
When the emperor heard the voice, he stopped writing and waited for the court ladies to leave. He slowly turned his head and stared at the place where Yingxiu often stood in a daze for a long time …
Ye Ci, who was watching from the side, suddenly felt a little sad as well …
After the filming was done, Ye Ci slowly walked in front of Xie Penghui. "Director Xie, then I … can leave? "
Xie Penghui was the person assigned to the filming crew, he was used to being separated, so he could only straighten his neck and put on an act. Waiting for me to give you a hug? "
Ye Ci just smiled and did not say anything. Turning his head around, he saw Lu Chuan in the act. It was unknown if it was intentional or accidental for the man to stop in front of her, as if he had paused for a moment.
Ye Ci lowered her head. Perhaps because she was feeling too strongly that they were about to separate soon, or because after watching Lu Chuan's scene, she suddenly became vivid.
Before Lu Chuan left, she suddenly spoke in a low voice, "Your majesty! I really am leaving this time. "
Hearing that, the man in front paused. After a few seconds, he didn't turn back and just waved his phone. Then he strode toward the locker room.
As an ancient person, Ye Ci had gone through the process of 'people say that the setting sun is the end of the world'.
To her, parting was a very sad thing, but she didn't expect that the owner of her stomach, whom she had served for a month, wouldn't even give her a glance before feeling a little depressed.
After searching for a while, she didn't find any traces of Liu Xia, so she could only bid farewell to the other party via text message.
That night, very gloomily, Ye Ci carried her bag back to her room and received a phone call from Jiang Fei. "When you signed the contract, the dorm room was full. Now there's one empty. Do you want to move to the collective apartment?"
If the company was responsible, it meant that she would no longer have to pay the rent. Of course, Ye Ci would agree.
"Yes, yes!" I want it!"
