Han Moyu followed behind Han Changyu and walked along the waterfront in the direction of the queen's dormitory, Yunxiu Palace. The birthday banquet took place there.
Suddenly, Han Moyu heard the sound of a quarrel in the distance. Han Moyu raised his head and saw two girls in palace clothes on the bridge in front of him, who seemed to be the palace maids beside a certain mother. Han Moyu was about to continue walking, but was stopped by Han Changyu. She raised her head and saw Han Changyu shaking his head slightly at her, and said softly, "It's better for us to avoid it." ”
Han Moyu nodded, and Han Changyu dodged behind the bushes at the water's edge.
Han Moyu heard a girl's exclamation, and couldn't help but poke her head out slightly. What she saw was one of the girls being pushed by the other man, falling off the bridge like that, and then falling into the water, making a splash. The palace maid who fell into the water kept calling for help intermittently, and just came out of her head and sank again.
Han Moyu looked at this qiē in horror, and couldn't hold back and wanted to get up and call for help, but was pressed to the ground by Han Changyu.
"Do you want both of us to die without a place to be buried?!" Han Changyu said with a slight anger and a low voice.
"Are we going to watch that sister drown?" Han Moyu was also a little annoyed.
"Yes, we want to watch her die like this!" Han Changyu's face turned pale, and he pressed Han Moyu under him and covered her mouth: "We can't save people at all! Why do we need to be strong?!
Han Moyu was stunned. Han Changyu continued: "Mo Yu, you have to remember that if you want to live longer, don't look at what you shouldn't see, don't listen to what you shouldn't hear, especially in this palace!
Han Moyu looked at Han Changyu in disbelief, unable to believe that he would say such a thing. Han Changyu still pressed her wrist, his threatening gaze slowly softened, he sighed slightly, leaned over, hugged the crying Han Moyu into his arms, and said softly: "It's something that has nothing to do with us, we'd better not interfere, you know? Okay, don't cry, come, let me see if you've become a little flower cat?"
Han Moyu turned his face away, and shouted in a low voice: "Are you still in the mood to joke now? Do you have a long heart? Is your heart made of stone?"
The smile on Han Changyu's face disappeared, and he frowned and became indifferent, "You're right, I'm such a heartless person. What, disappointed?"
Han Moyu didn't expect Han Changyu to admit it, and he was speechless in annoyance.
Han Changyu said again: "I know you feel uncomfortable...... But I'm not much better than you...... But if you want to live, you have to listen to me. Especially here, you have to be blind, deaf, dumb, you understand?"
Han Moyu's tears kept pouring out, and he couldn't control it.
I don't know how long it took for Han Changyu to let go of her and get up from the ground.
Han Moyu turned sideways and lay on the ground unwilling to get up.
"Moyu, I know you have a good heart, but you must not be impulsive when you encounter things. There are rules of survival in the palace in the palace, we don't belong here, it's best not to meddle at will. Believe me, bad people will be rewarded in the end. Han Changyu said.
"What kind of evil retribution?!" Han Moyu sat up angrily, and shouted at Han Changyu: "Except for us, no one else has seen it, how can this kind of thing be said clearly? I didn't see the murderer have evil retribution, I only saw her swaggering away after killing people! We obviously saw it, but we want to hide here and pretend to be blind and dumb!"
"Mo Yu, you don't know the cause and effect, how do you know what happened between them? Besides, all the palace maids, as long as they enter the palace, they will not be alone, behind her, are the mothers of each palace. The struggle between the palace maids is also the struggle between the palace maidens. We see only one fragment of it today, not all of them. In this palace, who is clean, and whose hands have not been stained with other people's blood? Perhaps, the palace maid who fell into the water just now killed someone, and the one who pushed her into the water came to seek revenge. Han Changyu said.
"Hmph, don't coax me! This qiē is just your imagination! You are just shirking the responsibility, and pushing the responsibility of not saving you in the face of death, thinking that you will be at peace in your heart if you do this!"
"Yes, that's right!" Han Changyu was a little moved, "Why, do you have to let me rush up and die in vain, so that you are willing?" Do you recognize the palace maid who pushed people into the water? Do you know which palace she is from?" Han Changyu paused for a moment and tried to calm himself: "The palace maid who fell into the water is from Concubine Li's palace, and the palace maid who pushed people into the water is from the palace of the queen's mother." Concubine Li and the queen are rivals in this palace. You saved the people in Concubine Li's palace, but you are against the queen's mother. How dare you wade through such deep water? I'm afraid that before you reach the river, a big wave will hit you and you will be drowned!"
Han Mo's words were a little speechless, she couldn't say that Han Changyu, and suddenly fell on her back and slept on the grass.
"Okay, okay, it's me who is wrong. The next time I encounter this situation, I will definitely risk my life to save people, okay?" Han Changyu softened his voice to coax Han Moyu. But Han Moyu still curled up on the ground and couldn't get up.
"In the future, I will stand in front of you, and I won't let you see these dirty things again......" Han Changyu sighed softly, while hugging Han Moyu into his arms: "You, you are too simple, too kind...... It's not good, it's really ......."
Han Moyu awkwardly shook off Han Changyu's hand. Although she figured it out at this time, she couldn't convince herself. The feeling of not being saved is really terrible.
"What, you're cheating, you want me to carry you?" Han Changyu pretended to laugh relaxedly, sat up, and stretched out his hand to pull Han Moyu. Han Mo squirmed to the other side in a huff.
"Do you want to spend the night here?" Han Changyu raised an eyebrow.
Han Mo got up in a huff, shook off Han Changyu's outstretched hand, and walked forward. She felt like she wanted to go on a rampage again. Han Changyu shouted several times behind her, but she turned a deaf ear and only cared about walking by herself.
When passing by the stone bridge, Han Moyu couldn't help but glance at the water under the bridge. It was the same place where the palace maid had just fallen into the water. But now it's as flat as a mirror, as if nothing had happened. On the water, the newly sprouted lotus leaves are slim and beautiful, stirring in the breeze. Han Moyu turned his head, didn't dare to take another look, and turned to the bridge.
Along the way, Han Moyu drooped his head and walked behind Han Changyu, not knowing where he had gone. It's just that there are more and more people on the road, all dressed in palace clothes, in groups of three or five, walking forward.
After arriving at Yunxiu Palace, the banquet had already ended, and the people had dispersed. There are only a few palace maids left, cleaning the dining table.
Han Moyu was very hungry, and when he smelled the fragrance, he drooled. She reached out and grabbed a piece of pastry on the table, and was about to put it in her mouth, but she heard Han Changyu cough lightly, and when she looked up, she saw Han Changyu glaring at her fiercely. Han Moyu realized that he had lost his manners, and awkwardly put the pastry back in.
The palace maid looked at Han Moyu and the two of them with a strange look. Han Changyu hurriedly stepped forward to apologize, and identified himself, asking if Mrs. Han had left the palace.
The palace maid replied that the palace invited an outside troupe, and the stage was built in the Linde Palace not far from Yunxiu Palace. After that, he went to clean up the tables and chairs.
Before leaving, Han Moyu saw Han Changyu quietly taking a few pastries from the table, and raised his eyebrows at Han Moyu and smiled. Han Moyu was stunned for a moment, but he was pulled by Han Changyu and ran out like the wind.
Out of the palace gate, Han Changyu found a secluded garden, sat on the stone, and then took out the pastry wrapped in a towel in his arms, and handed it to Han Moyu with a smile.
Han Moyu's eyes widened, and he looked at it for a long time, but he refused to take the pastry.
Han Changyu raised his eyebrows and asked, "I haven't eaten anything all day, aren't you hungry?"
At this moment, Han Moyu's stomach could, and Han Moyu suddenly blushed.
Han Changyu laughed, put the pastry in the palm of Han Moyu's hand, and said, "Eat it." ”
Han Moyu then took the pastry, broke off a small piece and put it in his mouth. It's not sweet or greasy, it melts in your mouth, it's really delicious in the world.
Han Moyu took a few bites, and then asked suspiciously: "Brother, although I grew up in the countryside, I have also read books and learned etiquette from my master, and I know that it is extremely bad to take it uninvited." But after all, he is used to having no rules, and he often knowingly commits crimes, so he is beaten by Aunt Lan a lot. But brother, how can you do such a thing?......"
Han Changyu smiled faintly, and said with some embarrassment on his face: "Your brother and I have always adhered to etiquette, and we have never acted so recklessly as today, this is the first time." Strange to say, since you came to this cold mansion, I have found that I seem to have changed, and I have become almost unrecognizable. ”
Han Mo screamed in silence, and turned his head to look at Han Changyu in disbelief. But seeing Han Changyu winking at himself, he smiled slyly: "What, aren't you angry with your brother?"
Han Mo turned around again in annoyance, just nibbling on the pastry in his hand.
Not far away, the sound of music sounded, thinking that the opera performance had begun.
"Let's go join in the fun, right?" Han Changyu smiled slightly, turned his head and looked at Han Moyu: "You must have never seen such a performance." ”
