Chapter 478 - Leave of Absence (Ignore this Chapter)
Helian Chen got up slowly, and gradually looked around, among the calcium carbide sparks, he saw her with a stunned face, but so unnatural.
It's really fortunate that he didn't have much effort to find her, she is still the same, there is a faint arrogance in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, among these many beauties of Yingying Yanyan, her face may be able to be buried in it, but this kind of look, this kind of expression, he always remembers, after she gave him an over-the-shoulder fall, it was this kind of look.
She is also the first woman who does not regard him as a high-ranking president. But let him sink to this day.
He sat down in the men's seat across from him.
Ba Ming was in a very bad mood, she looked at Su Da in her hand, she was secretly hiding her face with her sleeve, whispering something to the maid, the maid took out a small box of rouge from her sleeve, pursed her lips and snickered to touch up their young lady's makeup.
What an innocent girl Suda is, the person she misses in her heart is no longer the person who passed by her and smiled back, but she doesn't know, and there is no way for her to know.
What Ba Ming hates the most is that she took away the things that her friends cherish, but this time, she met an old person who she couldn't let go.
She was no longer interested in the wine and meat on the table, she raised her head and looked at Helian Chen on the other side, who was also using his deep inky pupils to look at her place.
No, she couldn't sit here anymore, as if her seat was now covered with needlepoints, making her sit unsteadily.
She excused herself to go out and sober up, so she got up and left her seat.
After Helian Chen toasted the nobles of Wang and Sun, he sat down, but he couldn't find Ba Ming in a panic.
He hurriedly went out to look for it, and in a panic, knocked over the wine glass that Suda brought.
The queen looked at her deeply several times and encouraged her to toast, and she walked over shyly, thinking about the opening remarks all the way, but she never thought that the red wine juice spilled his body.
"Ah, Lord Wang, it's the little girl's carelessness, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." After speaking, he used the handkerchief in his hand to wipe the stains on his green clothes.
"It's okay, I'll go out and sober up." He politely fended off her hand. Politely want to leave.
This is the queen sitting on the phoenix seat standing up at this time, smiling gracefully, and said, "This girl, she really hasn't grown up yet, so frizzy." Go quickly, go and wait for the prince to change his clothes. β
When the queen said this, she deliberately let the two be alone. Helian Chen looked at the queen's face that could not be refused, and in the face of this version of majesty, it was him, and he had nothing to say.
But where did Ba Ming go? He saw it like this, and missed her again.
Ba Ming shuttled through the vermilion fence with a heavy heart, and she suddenly felt that the excitement around her was someone else's, and she had nothing.
She had never experienced such a feeling in the world over there, denial of herself, confusion, and whether what she had done in the past and what she was going to do in the future was right.
Is her understanding of love and her understanding of feelings right?
She walked to a quiet palace and saw the fire and candles jumping in the house, dimly, as if telling the endless sadness in the depths of the palace, Ba Ming thought of the women who had been swallowed up by this big dye vat in the past and watched on TV. She wondered, what was life like for these people?
Thinking of this, she knocked lightly on the door.
"Who is it?" There was a melodious female voice inside. There was desolation, sadness, and traces of being soaked by the years.
Ba Ming lowered her eyes lightly, she didn't know the identity of the woman opposite, so she bent her knees and blessed, and said, "Little girl Guerjia, may I ask who you are?" β
"A humble body, eating and waiting to die, where is there a name. Are you the new show girl? Or is it a new little master? The woman seemed to be asking a question, but more like she was muttering to herself.
Without waiting for Ba Ming to answer her, she immediately said to herself: "What is Ren's identity, even if it is the queen's mother, so what, maybe there will be such a day." β
Ba Ming heard that she should be a concubine who was not favored, or maybe a woman who was once favored but has now been abandoned.
This woman seems to have not spoken to anyone for a long time, and now she said to Ba Ming, but more of it seemed to be just talking to herself, she said: "If you believe me, even if everyone in the world says that I am a demon and a disaster, what's the matter, you just need to believe it, if you don't believe me, even if everyone in the world pities me and thinks that I am wronged, what's the use, if you don't believe it, the whole world is useless." "The woman's voice is very special, hoarse, full of the vicissitudes of time.
"Yes... The Emperor? Ba Ming asked softly.
The woman turned her head sharply: "Do you think it's a good thing to be an emperor's woman?" It's all wishful thinking, when you're good to you, it's the coral in your hand, and when you don't like her, it's the beauty and lowly prayer of Feiyan's virtue, and it's useless. Her eyes began to fill with red bloodshots: "Do you know how many letters I have written, and how much silver I have spent on that subordinate who looks down on people, just to see him again." β
However, there was only one sentence when I saw it. There will be no reduction in your food and clothing, you can rest assured. The woman's voice suddenly turned to self-deprecating sadness: "It turns out that I am such a woman in his eyes." β
Ba Ming also heard a rough idea from her words that did not match the words in the preface, perhaps, this is the fate of the ancient court women. How long can she stay in this world? Helian Chen is the prince, will he also need three wives and four concubines, and obey the arrangement of the will?
After all, in this world, it is useless for anyone to say anything, and after all, it can't withstand the arrival of that chapter of bright yellow holy decrees.
That piece of paper is everyone's fate.
"Once you become a phoenix, you will become a phoenix for life. It's really good to think about it, if you say that the phoenix position obtained by this means is full of blood and sins. Mother, I can't do what you said, and I don't bother to ask for it. The woman wore a silver cardigan today, with a white face and a thin body, full of water, but it gave Ba Ming a feeling of tough pine and cypress.
She pushed open the window, and a gust of evening wind blew, and the candles on the table were about to go out. Ba Ming protected the small flame with her hand, and listened to the woman continue to say leisurely: "Mother, my daughter is just like every boudoir daughter, and what she prays for is just Jun's grace to reside, Qin Se and Ming, and live a life where someone decals the mirror are yellow every day." It's a delusion that is harder than ascending to the sky. β
Ba Ming has never sat in such a quiet palace in person, facing such dim candles, listening to such stories. Or rather, she hadn't thought about such a profound thing. She didn't have the long, long, unattended time of the woman to think about these stories.
Today she seems to understand that this is life. Not every period is a happy life. There are also countless people who cherish it and the more they can't get it.
She really wants to understand this kind of resentment.
The woman raised her hand and stroked the window lattice, she said: "On such a day, life is better than death, I don't die, it's not that I'm afraid, I'm just wishful thinking that one day, I can see him again, and one day, we can trust each other again." I don't believe those words, it is because of the merits of my family that I have received a false coping, I believe that it is a real friendship, he is sentient! The eyes don't lie. β
Eyes don't lie, Ba Ming muttered repeatedly, she used to be so confident, she believed that human eyes don't lie, so she likes to find information from people's eyes. That's the real thing. I didn't expect this woman to be the same person as her, who knew that her eyes would not lie.
However, this may make you even more lost in obsession, she is not herself, she does not live in the new era, but in such a society that accompanies the king like a tiger.
The woman sat at the table in despair, and there was a tray in front of the table, in which were just a few plates of simple meals, bean sprouts, stir-fried amaranth, shredded meat endive, and a bowl of blue stem rice that was not white.
The woman glanced at the meal that was already cold today, and asked Ba Ming: "Is there a banquet in the palace today?" β
Ba Ming was very surprised, she lived here and could actually know that there was a banquet in the palace? She asked the woman, "Exactly, but how do you know?" β
The woman smiled bitterly and said, "If there is no banquet and no activity, how can there be such a dish as shredded meat and bitter endive, which is usually not seen in the meat." β
Ba Ming was stunned, if she hadn't seen the contrast between the fish and meat at the banquet and the vegetables in the cold palace, she would definitely not have understood such a big contrast.
The woman gently picked up the chopsticks, stirred up the cold meal, took a few bites of rice, ate a few bites, and silently put down the chopsticks, picked up the teacup next to her hand, and drank a few sips of water, even the teacup was not a precious porcelain with patterns, just a thick white teacup, even the tea oil was not cleaned, and it was still hanging on the cup lightly, she didn't care about these, just picked it up lightly, and put it down lightly.
"I advise you, you have to understand that there are no real friends in the palace, as long as interests are involved, gold and silver are involved, good sisters will become enemies, seeing that you are not deeply involved in the world, you are most vulnerable to being hurt by the people you love and believe in the most." The woman looked at Ba Ming's eyes, her eyes were like wolves, and she felt uncomfortable all over.
"I think friendship is very important, isn't it? Don't people say that people can live without boyfriends, but they can't live without good girlfriends? β
"Girlfriends?" The woman asked rhetorically.
Ba Ming hurriedly changed his words: "That's what it means, you can have no lovers who will accompany you all your life, but you can't have friends who support each other." β
The woman looked at Ba Ming for a while, as if she was looking at a monster, and then suddenly laughed: "It turns out that there are really women in the world who are as stupid as me!" β
"I was like this back then, I walked into the door of the Forbidden City with hope, and walked into the emperor's palace with confidence, only I was not afraid, and I was full of confidence to make a good sister who I thought was worth my life, but now? Where are my good sisters? Where is it? Is it still there? The woman laughed slowly, and she shed two lines of tears, full of chagrin.
Ba Ming looked at her, looked at her eyes full of sadness, and also felt shuddering.
However, she looked at it, and suddenly saw a shocking nosebleed slowly flowing from the woman's nose, and she opened her mouth and pointed straight at the woman's face.
The woman didn't know when it happened, but she touched her face in surprise: "Is there something on my face?" β
Ba Ming just opened her mouth, so scared that she couldn't say anything.
Then her ears also began to bleed, and the corners of her eyes and mouth were bleeding, and the scene was even more terrifying than a 3D ghost movie, she had never seen anyone like this before, and she began to cover her mouth and scream.
The woman finally sensed the discomfort and began to clutch the clothes on her chest with her hands, vomiting blood violently. He opened his mouth helplessly, and then fell to the cold ground weakly.
Ba Ming's hands and feet were sore and collapsed on the ground, she saw that the woman's head was tilted to her side, and she never closed her eyes, she slowly crawled over with her hands and feet.
She used all her strength to support her body from lying down, closed her eyes and gritted her teeth, and approached the woman who was about to die, she seemed to have something to say, listening to her so much tonight, she felt that she was obliged not to let her go with her resentment.
She approached the woman and listened to her, "Be careful... Your sister, don't... It's easy... It's hurt. β
Then she closed her eyes slightly.
This is her last sentence, which should be to warn Ba Ming not to go her way and not to be too naΓ―ve.
Ba Ming's scream just now attracted the surrounding guards, but what they rushed over to see was such a scene, they just took Ba Ming into custody, treated him as a murderer, and prepared to take him to meet the emperor.
Ba Ming resisted vigorously, she overthrew a guard who was about to twist her, and shouted in disappointment: "Why arrest me, I didn't do anything, I didn't do it!" β
The head of the guard just said coldly: "Have you seen which murderer voluntarily confessed that he killed the person?" If you are not sent to the Punishment Division to be tortured by those flowing waters, you people will not be recruited. β
Ba Ming had no evidence, she could only repeatedly emphasize that it was not her who killed, and she didn't know why it was like this.
The head of the guard just waved his hand expressionlessly, signaling his subordinates to take her away, and he said: "The emperor's nobles have been poisoned so inexplicably, do you think you can live for a few days." β
Ba Ming's eyes widened suddenly, now she was really hard to argue, she couldn't say anything, she just stood there blankly, like a lightning strike.
The guards walked over and wried her away. On the other side, someone informed the emperor.
The moment the emperor heard the news, his eyes seemed to be covered with a trace of unbearability, and he asked the guards: "How did Yin'er die, but someone found out who killed her." β
The guards at the bottom replied truthfully: "The little master was poisoned in the dinner diet and died of poisoning, and there was only one girl present at the time, she was just saying that she was not poisoned, did not kill anyone, and there was no proof of physical evidence." β
There was a big incident in the palace, Helian Chen had just changed his clothes, and he heard Su Da's maid hurriedly come to Su Da and say that he didn't ask what was going on, and he never cared about it.
He kept thinking about Ba Ming in his heart, and he didn't have the heart to care about this second young lady, and he didn't have time to care about anything in the palace.
The maid whispered to Su Da: "Miss, I heard that one of the emperor's nobles has just been poisoned, and I heard that there was only one person present at that time, none other than the eldest lady of the Guerjia clan." β
The young lady of the Guerjia clan is really miserable, there are many people in this palace who want to borrow a knife to kill people, and they pity an innocent young lady. Helian Chen, who deeply understands the way of darkness, thought secretly.
But when he heard the conversation that followed, he couldn't get dark.
He heard Su Da say in surprise: "No, Sister Ba Ming won't do such a thing, she just said to sober up, how could she poison nobles." β
Ba Ming.
"Where are the people now?" Helian Chen suddenly leaned over and asked eagerly.
Su Da was very puzzled when she saw his reaction so much, she said, "Why is the prince so anxious, are the princes and sisters very familiar?" β
"I ask you where you are now." Helian Chen's voice rose a few decibels.
Seeing this, Suda's maid hurriedly said truthfully: "In... Now in the hall, the emperor is asking about it. β
"Lord..." Su Da didn't wait to speak, and Helian Chen only left her with a dashing back.
He eagerly walked into the hall and saw Ba Ming lying on the ground, and couldn't help but feel sad.
His woman, when was she so bullied in front of him, now not only Ba Ming, but even he can only kneel in front of people.
He knelt beside Ba Ming to greet the emperor, and he saw Ba Ming turn his head to look at him.
He could see that there was a lot of meaning in her eyes, and she was warning him not to be impulsive, not to come out, not to hurt himself for her.
He understands, but he's a man, he's her man, and it's normal to protect him.
"Calm down. I'm trying prisoners right now. The Emperor's voice came coldly.
"That's what my brother is here for." Helian Chen said boldly, ignoring Ba Ming's whispered cough warning.
Seeing that the emperor didn't speak, he then boldly said, "My brother just went to change his clothes, and my personal guard Ah Fei said that he saw Miss Ba Ming passing by there when the noble man had already died. Isn't it, Ah Fei? He glanced back at Ah Fei.
Ah Fei understood and hurriedly received: "Exactly, I just thought about it, the eldest lady seems to have gone the wrong way without knowing the way, so I followed all the way, and I saw where the eldest lady went after the nobleman's accident." β
The queen glanced at Helian Chen meaningfully at this time, and said, "The prince has been with the second lady of the Yehenara family, when did you hear about it, and how did you know that something happened here?" It's not in order. β
"I told the prince that something happened here." Suda rushed over and knelt down with a pop. said: "Sister Ba Ming is indeed innocent, my sister is to accompany me in the palace, if Niang Niang wants to punish me, she will punish me." β
Ba Ming glanced at Su Da, thought about what the woman said before she died, and lowered her head deeply.
Maybe she didn't say everything, she believes that no matter where she is, there is true love!
For example, today's protection, such as Suda, who is kneeling side by side with her now.
She looked at Su Da looking at Helianchen, and the three of them knelt here, but there was a different kind of sadness in her heart.
