Chapter 100: Not a Man
Rong Ti was not often in his mansion, and Bai Hua stole into his study, trying to find traces of anecdotes about Du Ku's violent death, but to no avail.
When Rong Ti came, she observed her words and looks, and served from the closer, just to see what Rong Ti had.
She didn't find anything next to her, but she felt that the tired skin was extremely delicate up close, with smooth texture, facial features and face shapes were all golden ratios, clean as smooth jade walls.
It seems that compared to ordinary people, his appearance is impeccable, and his pores are very small.
Bai Hua didn't notice anything and continued to observe.
When Rong was tired in the house, he spent a lot of time in the study, either dealing with any affairs, or practicing calligraphy or something. There was always a sandalwood block burning in the room, which muffled the faint smell of wood on his body.
His left hand doesn't seem to be very easy to use, and he doesn't use it much, so it's not very conspicuous.
Du Zhuo has been tired a lot of time and tiredness, but he has no ill will towards Bai Hua, and he rarely teases. Until one day......
Until one day, Rong Ti found Bai Hua and said to her, "Du Gongzi recently went to ask the emperor for an edict and wanted to come to please you, so you should prepare earlier." β
Bai Hua was surprised, it turned out that he Du Zhuo didn't have no action these days, but did a prelude to the first and then the play.
Bai Hua hurriedly asked, "This can't be, I ......"
"The Emperor's decree has arrivedβ"
A shrill voice spread, interrupting Bai Hua's words, and everyone in the mansion leaned over to listen to the order.
"The High Priest's Mansion, there is a nameless maid, virtuous and virtuous, and I intend to match Zhuo, the son of the Du family, as the main room. Nameless maid, please take the order!"
The father-in-law read word by word, dragging a long and tactful tail note, which made Bai Hua's thoughts shake.
The people in the mansion all felt that Bai Hua was lucky, after all, in their opinion, what kind of honor it was for Bai Hua, an unidentified maid, to be able to receive the favor of Du Zhuo, the son of the former high priest, and even to be favored by the status of the main room.
Such "good luck" is very dazzling for Bai Hua.
If she answers, it will be difficult to escape, and if she does not answer, it means disobeying the holy decree.
She didn't know why Du Zhuo did this, but she had to say that since Du Zhuo could do it without knowing her, he must be completely sure.
Bai Hua couldn't figure out where he was sure, but he couldn't take this risk for the time being.
She was just looking at Rong Rong for a while, trying to get the news, and she didn't want to roll herself into a situation from which she could never recover!
"Nameless maid, please take the order!" the father-in-law repeated again, Bai Hua shed a cold sweat, what can she do now, what should she do, can she skillfully redeem all this?!
She glanced in Du Zhuo's direction, and the guy was looking at her, expecting her reaction.
Bai Hua gritted his teeth, offered it with both hands, and accepted the order.
If she disobeys the holy decree, she is afraid that her life will be in jeopardy, and if she accepts the decree, she can still find a way to escape.
But......
Du Zhuo obviously knew what way out she was thinking, and a pair of peach blossom eyes swept over coldly, like some kind of warning.
Bai Hua gritted his teeth in disgust, but Du Zhuo didn't care.
"What the hell do you want to do?!" she asked, in a cold, heavy voice.
Du Zhuo was very happy when he saw her mood swinging.
"No, I don't. There's nothing to do. Du Zhuo smiled, "Could it be that you want to stay in the High Priest's Mansion for the rest of your life?"
Bai Hua was in no mood to joke with him, "That can't be with you for a lifetime." β
Du Zhuo suddenly stopped laughing, and said angrily, "You think about your situation. And you just stay by Rong Ti's side for the rest of your life, what can you do, you and Rong Ti are destined to have no results!"
Bai Hua hooked his lips: "Oh?
Du Zhuo suddenly became anxious, "You dare?!"
Bai Hua said coldly, "Why don't you dare?"
She was just trying to be angry with him, who knew that Du Zhuo really took it seriously, "It's impossible, Rong Ti is not a person!"
After Du Zhuo said this excitedly, he suddenly realized something, and his expression froze.
Bai Hua was also stiffening, she seemed to know something amazing?
Rong was tired of passing by, and suddenly heard this sentence, as if he had been stabbed, staggered, his eyes were heavy, he was unsteady on his feet, he took a few steps back, and finally fell to the ground.
Bai Hua stepped forward to help him, his body was very cold, and he could feel the coolness through his clothes.
Bai Hua's hand unconsciously shrank back, and continued to help him.
The tail of Rong Ti's eyes drooped slightly, and he looked helpless.
He was helped up, and without saying a word, he walked away.
Bai Hua looked at his back as he left in a panic, and then looked at Du Zhuo's bewildered appearance, and knew that maybe what Du Zhuo said was true, but he was not human, so what could he be? His reaction like this was obviously unwilling to accept himself.
What kind of identity will make Rong Ti refuse to accept it and regard it as a taboo?
Is it a demon?
It's not quite right, it doesn't feel right.
With these doubts, Bai Hua said to Du Zhuo, "What did you do, don't you apologize?"
Du Zhuo was a little weak-hearted......: "What do I apologize for?" It is also true. He finished his sentence and left.
Bai Hua went to the tired place, he was in the study at the moment, looking at his trembling left hand, his hair hanging low, snaking behind him.
It's a person who has a perfect skin like a painting, but it's not a human being.
What the hell could that be?
Bai Hua made him tea and said, "Lord Priest, don't mind too much. β
Rong Ti didn't react, so he took out another piece of sandalwood from the drawer and smoked it.
The two pieces together have a strong and slightly pungent taste.
Isn't this smell also meant to cover up ...... Is that unusual scent on his body?
Bai Hua thought about it, feeling that this person was also pitiful, no matter what it was, why couldn't he accept himself?
What is there to fear?
Bai Hua was choked and coughed, and said, "There is no need to cover it up, you are you, and you don't need anyone to comment." β
"It's not the same when you say it and when you do it. Rong Ti finally stopped being silent.
Expressionlessly, he lifted his sleeve to reveal his left arm, then took out a piece of paper and scratched it across his arm.
Bai Hua was shocked, "High Priest, you ......"
Rong Ti was still expressionless, and said, "It won't hurt, is it still a person?"
"I'm tired of pretending to be a person. Tiredness slumped limply in his seat.
"Perhaps," Bai Hua said, "maybe, this is something that ordinary people can't envy." There's always a way to live for you. β
Rong Ti smiled, I can't tell if there is any emotion in that smile, maybe there is bitterness, like aging in the flashy years.
"Do you know what I am?" said Rong Ti.
"I'm a puppet, I'm just a puppet. I'm just a puppet with my left arm broken. β
