Chapter 19: The Midnight Mourning Hall

The lanterns were still swaying in the wind, and the little guy at the door seemed to be frozen, and the picture unfolding in front of my eyes was strange and extremely bleak. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Miss, please come in, it's cold outside. ”

Xiao Chuan and I walked into the Zhao Mansion, which was not big, full of white, and deserted.

"My wife is in the mourning hall. The little guy pointed to the hall in front of him.

"Thank you. ”

The servant returned to the gate and continued to guard. We walked gently to the only part of the courtyard that was still lit.

The thick smell of smoke filled her nostrils, and Mrs. Zhao sat cross-legged on the futon, constantly turning a string of strangely shaped beads in her hands, and muttering words in her mouth.

The tablet in the hall stood coldly, and the three words Zhao Ziluan engraved were so dazzling.

Xiao Chuan and I stepped forward separately, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to the tablet. Tears snapped down on the ground, and Mrs. Zhao stopped chanting.

"Which of Ziluan's old friends is it?"

"I have received the grace of Zhao Gongzi to save my life, and now I come to mourn. ”

"That's right. Alas. It's a pity that Ziluan's death was ugly, so he asked someone to take it back and bury it. ”

Hearing this, my heart tingled, and tears flowed down my face. Ziluan, I owe you too much in this life, what should I do to pay it off?

Mrs. Zhao stood up from the futon, looked at me carefully, and wiped my tears with her hand. She looks like she is in her forties, and from her, Ziluan's appearance can be vaguely seen.

"Mrs. Zhao, my name is An Ruolan. This is Xiao Chuan. ”

"Miss An is really beautiful, and she is kind, and it is his blessing that my family knows someone like you. "Mrs. Zhao is very kind, but it is a pity that she lost her son in middle age, and the despair in her eyes is heart-wrenching.

It's just that in the face of Mrs. Zhao, I really have no shame. Mrs. Zhao, do you know that it was this Miss An in your mouth who killed your son......

"Don't say that, Mrs. Zhao. I can't afford ......."

"I heard that my family Ziluan was given death because he coveted the prince's side concubine, how is this possible, my family Ziluan has always kept to himself. Miss An, do you know which side concubine harmed him?" Speaking of this, Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but cry again.

Hearing her words, I knelt at the feet of Mrs. Zhao, and Xiao Chuan also knelt down with me. I cried bitterly: "Mrs. Zhao, I'm sorry ......"

Mrs. Zhao was a little surprised, pointed at me and asked, "Is that you?"

I nodded and cried, "I'm sorry...... I killed Ziluan......"

Mrs. Zhao grabbed me and cried loudly, "Why...... Why did you kill my son...... He's still so young......"

"I'm sorry......" his head was buzzing, and his mind was full of Ziluan's appearance. Yes, he is still so young, and he is a protΓ©gΓ© of the prince, but he gave his life for a person like me.

Xiao Chuan stepped forward and grabbed Mrs. Zhao and said, "Mrs. Zhao, Zhao Gongzi and his sister are in love with each other, and they are deeply in trouble, and it was the prince who gave Zhao Gongzi ...... death in order to maintain his majesty."

Mrs. Zhao let go of the hand holding my clothes, pointed at me and said, "What a good one, the two are happy, and the adversity is deep." You are a side concubine, don't serve the prince, come to seduce my family Ziluan, and cause Ziluan to be in a different place, my Zhao family doesn't welcome people like you, you let me go!"

"Mrs. Zhao......" I looked at her grief-stricken appearance, unable to speak anymore.

"Ah Cai, send off!" Mrs. Zhao saw that I was still not moving, so she called the little guy who brought us in.

This little guy named Ah Cai hurriedly ran over to us and whispered to us, "Miss, let's go." ”

"Mrs. Zhao, Ruolan can't pay it back in her life. If there is an afterlife, Ruolan is willing to be a cow and a horse to repay Ziluan's kindness......"

When Mrs. Zhao heard this, don't look over it and stop looking at us.

Helplessly, we slowly walked out of the mourning hall with the little girl, and a gust of wind suddenly blew in the courtyard, mixed with sand and stones, which made people unable to open their eyes.

After the wind stopped, the little maid sent us to the gate and said, "Two young ladies, the east is Bailu Mountain, and the mountain is not easy to walk." Take care of your weight and exposing it more deeply. ”

"Thank you for reminding me. ”

The little guy sighed and turned to leave. Xiao Chuan and I stood at the door for a long time, and Xiao Chuan said, "Sister, where are we going?"

I shook my head, "That gust of wind came suddenly, Xu is Ziluan Quanxia is knowledgeable, worried about his mother, and doesn't want me to leave......"

"What did my sister say?"

I pulled Xiao Chuan and said, "I can't just leave, Ziluan died for me, I should be filial piety in front of Mrs. Zhao instead of him!"

"But Mrs. Zhao doesn't want to see us. ”

"This is what we owe her. ”

"Sister, I don't think we're fit to stay here. Not to mention whether the prince will rummage through the capital to find our whereabouts, Mrs. Zhao will think of Zhao Gongzi's death every time she sees us, and our existence is the source of her misfortune. ”

I didn't know what to do. Xiao Chuan said: "Let's go, it's not too late for Mrs. Zhao to come back after a while." It was imperative that we get out of town first. ”

I didn't speak, I looked up at the bright moon. Helpless, what to do in the future, where to find the astrologer, when is the day to go home......

Let's hope this is over soon......
