Chapter 44: Collapse
After a long rain and fumigation, this year's summer seems to be extraordinarily long.
Bai Sang has been sitting in this hall with her younger brother for a long time, and the villain next to her has been holding the book and shaking her head and carrying it, but she turned her head to look out of the window.
Outside, there are still green trees, birds and cicadas are singing, and the blue sky is lined with peony flowers blooming everywhere in the garden, and it is such a sunny and good weather.
When I met her last year, it was also full of scenery.
Lu Cianming raised his head several times, but he still saw his sister's distracted appearance, and couldn't help muttering in a low voice:
"Sister, when will Brother Ask will come back?"
"Huh?"
Bai Sang came back to his senses, didn't seem to hear clearly, and turned his head to look at him with a slight puzzlement.
Lu Cianming simply put down the book in his hand, tilted his head and asked clearly: "Sister, when will Brother Ask come back?" ”
Bai Sang was stunned when he heard this, and then gently stroked his head, but did not answer Fang Cai's words: "What's wrong?" ”
"She promised me before that she hadn't taken me to hunt in the woods!"
Lu Cianming frowned, with a small face, full of dissatisfaction.
He has been in this palace for a few days, and on weekdays, except for Bai Sang, he only sees a few palace maids entering and leaving the palace. Sister Ah didn't tell him how long he wanted to stay here, so he obediently stayed by Sister A's side.
But gradually, from the mouths of the others, he also heard about it, and seemed to vaguely understand what kind of place this harem was. It is said that there was a change of emperor in this palace, but why did he only appear once on the day he first came, and then he was never seen again.
Others said that he and Sister A would stay in this palace in the future, and he naturally didn't believe it in his heart.
Brother Ah Xun is so attentive to his sister, how could he leave her alone in this palace!
Looking at Sister A's appearance in the past few days, it is clear that she is still thinking about her, maybe, the two are just temporarily awkward!
Thinking like this, he finally couldn't help but ask: "Sister, sister, are you arguing with Brother Ask." ”
Seeing that Bai Sang didn't speak, he looked serious and began to persuade himself: "Sister, Brother Ah Xun is impatient and domineering, and sometimes she likes to make you angry, it's all her fault!" But in fact, she must be thinking about it in her heart! ”
Lu Cianming said, as if he remembered something, and took his sister's hand with anticipation. Close to her ear, he specially lowered his voice, as if revealing some little secret:
"By the way, she also whispered to me before, seeing that you went to Jiangzhou and missed me, she sent someone to arrange it after she came back, and she was going to take me back with you this time;!"
Bai Sang's heart was warm, but then he couldn't help but feel sour little by little, and his eyes quietly turned red before he had time to react.
…… Bai Sang, that person is thinking about how to please you everywhere, but why are you thinking about how to calculate her every day?
Cassia's words pierced her heart like a needle, and she couldn't help but think of the past memories that she had tried to bury in her heart in the past few days. She thought she was restrained well, but now she felt so powerless.
Immersing yourself in the past and struggling in the meantime, this feeling is really uncomfortable.
She lowered her eyes and smiled at her brother indifferently, as if she was scolding, but she was very gentle: "People are small and big, who taught you to say that?" ”
"It's Princess Yan! She told me that if she saw you having trouble with Brother A-Xun, she would ask me to persuade you like this! ”
Bai Sang was stunned, it turned out to be Song Yuyan.
Since the farewell of Yan Wangfu, I haven't talked to her for a long time......
And when Lu Cianming saw Sister Ah asking himself like this, he acquiesced even more to what he thought in his heart. Anyway, his sister knew that it was taught by others, so he then persuaded with a determined face:
"It's always a little noisy! How do you say that sentence -- well, a hundred days for a husband and wife? ”
Cassia shook Bai Sang's hand as he spoke: "Okay, you're all in the cave, sister, don't be angry with Brother Awen, okay?" ”
When Bai Sang heard this, he couldn't help but smile lightly. glanced at his younger brother reproachfully, stopped being pulled and shaken, held it firmly, and said slowly to the person in front of him:
"Cassia, Sister Song is no longer Princess Yan. In the future, if you meet in the palace, you will have to kneel and bow and call the queen mother, do you know? ”
Lu Cianming nodded seriously, Bai Sang stroked his face again, and continued:
"Okay, Sister is not angry with anyone, just continue to concentrate on reading. When you're older, Sister will take you out of the palace, okay? ”
What about Brother Aqing, where did she go? Doesn't it come to us these days?
Lu Cianming was still full of doubts, watching his sister reopen the bookstall in front of him, and looked like she was in a trance again, pursed her lips, but did not ask.
Although the days in the palace were peaceful, they were much more boring than in the academy. Fortunately, I can stay by Sister A's side every day and see her, and Cassia also ignores the thoughts that occasionally pop up in my heart and want to play out of the palace.
But soon, in the afternoon of this day, even Sister Ah didn't accompany her to read a book, but went to another room, could it be that the emperor is here again?
Lu Cianming shook his head, wanting to run to take a peek, but he thought that he should be obedient, so he could only guess in his heart.
Bai Sang was indeed already waiting for the emperor in the house, listening to the eunuch's report outside, and after Gao Yan entered the house, she saluted.
Gao Yanping retreated from the others who followed him, sat down, and looked at the person in front of him: "It's rare that Bai Sang specially invited me to come over today, what is it for?" ”
Bai Sang was silent, silently made a cup of tea for Gao Yan, and then said lightly:
"This is the tongue sent by the Shangshi Bureau yesterday, the concubine saw that its color was green and green, the aroma was fragrant, and the taste was also sweet, so she specially soaked a pot of reads for the emperor;."
Seeing Gao Yan holding the tea, his expression was slightly vigilant, Bai Sang smiled lightly and slowly opened his mouth:
"I still remember five years ago, overnight, the mansion was sealed and my father was imprisoned. I am the daughter of a sinner, and I deserve to die here. ”
"When I was in prison, I still thank the emperor for saving me and Cassia Ming."
Seeing that Gao Yan was still looking at herself suspiciously, she pursed her lips and continued: "Later, in order to repay the emperor's life-saving grace, in order to help you ascend to the throne, and in order to avenge the dozens of people involved inside and outside her palace. I deliberately approached the third prince, coaxed her sincerity, deliberately designed to be injured to get her golden sword, and finally blamed her for the death of the second prince. In order not to leave any trouble, she was poisoned after the incident and died tragically in prison. ”
Bai Sang said, taking a light breath:
"Today, the emperor has also fulfilled my wish, allowing me to torture Liu Chang in the palace, and I have relieved my hatred of the past. And Bai Sang can repay the emperor, I'm afraid that's all there is. ”
"Now that everything is decided, Bai Sang doesn't want anything else, just wants to be able to spend the rest of his life alone and quietly in this harem."
With that, she knelt down in front of Gao Yan.
Gao Yan saw her rare softness, spit out her thoughts, and her heart moved. Hurriedly got up and helped her up, and said with a gentle face:
"Bai Sang, I have said a long time ago that I am different from Gao Xun. As long as you stay by my side, I won't force you to do anything else. ”
Bai Sang quietly broke away from his hand and stepped aside.
I sighed softly.
When did she force me, maybe this qiē was just that she had been forcing herself.
Gao Yan looked at her detached appearance, and inexplicably filled with anger, but what Bai Sang said today can be regarded as just coincidentally making up his mind.
Gao Yanchu sat on the throne, at this time the previous dynasty was not stable, and he was quite suspicious, thinking all day long about how to encircle the truly loyal people and get rid of those threatening officials, so he naturally had no intention of staying in the harem during this time.
What's more, the eldest prince who was once not looked at by others has gained power for a while, and he wants everyone to see that he is no worse than the other two princes.
As for the beauty, now that it has been included in the harem, it is still this time.
At this moment, although he is a humble gentleman, he agrees so kindly, but after a long time, who can say for sure.
After a conversation, the two had their own thoughts. Due to the many affairs between the DPRK and China, he sat down for a short time, and after saying a few words, Gao Yan went out again without taking a sip of tea.
Bai Sanggong sent him out, and the room was quiet again. But he didn't want the emperor to leave, and immediately a person ran out from behind the screen with a skirt.
Bai Sang listened to the footsteps behind him, and turned around with a wry smile in his heart.
"Smack!"
As soon as she looked up, a slap was thrown straight into her face.
"You femme fatale!"
