The Root of All Evil
wedge
Yue Xi has no ideals, no relatives and few friends, she is more money-obsessed because she neglects to dress herself, so most of the time, she is ordinary.
It's so ordinary that people see her at a glance, and when they turn their heads, they forget what she looks like.
However, she has a very extraordinary identity in such an ordinary way, she is an agent.
Although she has been training for five years and has only been in the industry for one year, she has already completed several tasks with great success at a young age.
Yue Xi's favorite two things to do: eat and sleep.
Hehe, Konishi, you're still young. When you're my age, you'll know how sad it is for a woman who can only eat and sleep! Sister Nan looked at her with sympathetic eyes, like looking at a pig!
Eat, sleep, only by eating and sleeping well can you be more energetic. Brother Dong's eyes were calm when he looked at Yue Xi, as if he was looking at a dagger that still needed to be honed.
Feed! Why don't you speak? Yue Xi, who was drowsy in the sofa holding the cushions, seemed to remember that there were four people in this room, and she opened her eyes to look at the tall and slender young man leaning against the window: Beibei, you say, what if I can eat and sleep......
I'll raise you. The young man, who was as beautiful as a pink cherry blossom, turned his head and looked at her with a smile, as if he were looking at a treasure.
Brother Dong, Sister Nan, Junbei, and Yuexi, they are all children raised in orphanages. When they were children, they were partners who wiped tears together, and now, they are comrades-in-arms who share blood.
Yue Xi once thought that no friendship like theirs could separate them......
……
Let's talk about Yuexi and Junbei first.
Yue Xi's favorite things are two things: eating, drinking, and sleeping.
Sister Nan will always smile and say: Xiaoxi, are you a pig?
She's not a pig, of course.
Yue Xi has a secret in her heart, and this secret has been with her since she was a child: her sleep is spent in nightmares a lot of the time, and the content of that nightmare is always the same!
……
A bolt of lightning pierced the dark night sky, illuminating the empty hall that had not been lit in an instant. In the hall, two maids in shabby palace clothes knelt in front of the bed, looking tiredly at the withered woman who seemed to be asleep on the bed.
I'm so tired...... An almost inaudible sigh escaped the mouth of the lying woman, and the slender fingers hanging on the outside of the quilt trembled a few times......
Empress?! Are you awake? Do you want to use some water? The two palace maids who were kneeling stood up at the same time, reaching out and touching the thin and dry palm.
After the lightning, it was still dark in the dormitory.
The two palace people held their breath and listened intently to the sounds that might come from the bed, for fear of missing a slight sound.
There was no sound on the bed, and it was as if there had never been a word from Fang Cai. In the dark and cold night, there was only the intermittent sound of breathing that could not be shallow, like a wisp of old spider silk hanging on the roof, which would break at any moment.
Why are the mother's hands so cold? The palace maid who spoke had tears in her eyes, carefully held the palm of her hand and put it to her lips to breathe hot, and gently rubbed it a few times from time to time: Or, please ask Imperial Doctor Su to come and have a look......
Alas...... After a sigh, the two of them were speechless, and everyone understood in their hearts, what if they invited the imperial doctor? There has long been no silver in the palace to grab medicine for Niangniang.
In such a situation now, the queen mother, who can't even be filled with warm water, is just surviving.
Staying up for a day is a day, and staying up for a day is a moment.
She had been lying in bed for several days, and it was finally time for the lamp to run out......
Niangniang is not yet eighteen years old...... No matter how warmly rubbed the palm on her lips, there was no sign of recovery, and the girl in palace clothes was lying on the edge of the bed sadly with the withered palm, sobbing in a low voice, full of despair.
If the mother goes, what is the point of their life in the future? It was a question she couldn't even think of.
Alas! The other palace maid also let out a long sigh, reached out and tucked the quilt on the master's body again, and then turned around and sat on the pedal in front of the couch and whispered: There are no young and old people on Huangquan Road...... What kind of life do you see our girl has lived in the past five years...... It's better to ...... But don't be guilty......
After sobbing for a while, the woman carefully lowered her master's arm into the quilt, and then reached out and pulled a quilt pressed against her master's lap.
Don't go up, when the mother woke up yesterday, she said that the pressure on her body was too heavy, and her body hurt when she moved slightly. The woman sitting on the pedal said without looking back.
It's too cold in the palace! Both of us brought the quilt over and covered it with my mother, but I was still afraid that she would freeze. As the woman spoke, she also turned around and sat on the pedals, and her body was close to the other woman to warm each other, because the winter night here was too cold, and the bodies of both of them were a little trembling: there was no food in the palace to replenish the mother's body, look at the thin body of the master, where is there still a little meat? Even the quilt on the bed was too heavy...... If you can eat something, even if it's some rice soup, Niangniang won't even be able to resist the wind chill this time......
She let out a long sigh.
As he spoke, another flash of lightning crossed the night sky outside the window, and the light and shadow flashed a few times on the wind-permeable window lattice, and then a moment later, a faint thunder was heard in the air in the distance.
It's so fresh! Why is it that there is still lightning and thunder at such a time? I've never seen anything like it.
The two of them looked at the dark window and were stunned, in the north of the cold winter wax moon, there was such a thunder and lightning weather, which really made people feel weird!
No...... Something is going to happen, right? The palace maid who sat down leaned closer to her companion again, and even her voice trembled even more.
I wish something had happened...... The palace maid stared fixedly at the dark and empty sky outside the window, and said without a trace of emotion: What is the point of us living like this? I'd rather go with my mother...... It's good to be a companion on the road and save each other from being lonely......
You...... Don't talk about it! I...... Listen scared! Whining...... When the woman who had just stopped her grief heard these words, she couldn't help but feel sad, buried her face in her hands, and suppressed herself from letting her cry too much......
Other...... Cry......
Two words came from the bed as if they were floating over.
Empress!
Empress!
The two palace maids shouted together, turned around, knelt down and said: Are you talking?
The words were so light and so light that they almost thought they were hallucinating in their ears.
After a long breath, the motionless woman on the bed continued: "Days like this...... Hongu ...... Early...... Enough to live......
……
Your sister's! Yue Xi, who was sleeping on the bed, woke up from a nightmare without warning, and his left chest was a heart-rending pain!
She reached out and grabbed her pajamas, and pressed her hands into small fists on her chest a few times, and only after she was sure that she had the dream again did she let out a long breath and stared at the roof in a daze.
This is not scientific! On a night in the city, even though she lived on the upper floors, the room was still not very dark, and she frowned and thought carefully about the dream that was all too real to be puzzled.
The qiē in the dream was so real that it even made her feel like she was there, especially after hearing the last few words of the woman who was called the queen mother, Yue Xi felt that she was hurting with her, and it hurt so much......
The resentful woman in the palace...... It must be that her emperor husband doesn't love her anymore, and she can't let go of herself...... What a cliché plot...... Turning over, there was a chill on his back, Yue Xi reached out and touched it back, but he actually touched a cold sweat.
It's really not worth it to be so dead or alive by a dirty man who has slept with all the women in the harem for a man! After rubbing her somewhat wet palm on her pajamas a few times, she threw a pillow out of the bed: You don't sleep hard, I won't turn over your brand in the future! It's just a day if you don't have spring dreams, you keep making a nightmare to scare Lao Tzu, see if I don't tear it down for you tomorrow!
After tucking the quilt around him, Yue Xi decided to go back to sleep.
If I married such a husband, if it was me, I would have turned around gracefully...... Even if you don't want the name of a queen, isn't it good to be a quiet beautiful man...... She muttered to herself: The sky is big, and there are many beauties...... A fool hanged himself from a tree......
One minute and fifty-nine seconds later, a certain mushroom with a heart as wide as the Milky Way put this unpleasant story behind him, turned around and fell asleep......
In her opinion: life is not as good as it should be, and it is no different from the language. There are so many things that make us miserable and too few things that make us happy, so I only look at pleasure, and as for those pains, to hell with them!
Therefore, you have to sleep when you sleep, and the delay is your own loss, and no one will make it up for you.
This kind of little abacus is good in her heart!
Five minutes later, Yue Xi, who was asleep, saw a lightning bolt pierce the dark night sky again, illuminating the empty hall without lighting lamps and candles in an instant, and the two maids in the hall kneeling in shabby palace clothes knelt in front of the bed, looking at the withered woman who seemed to be asleep on the bed with a tired expression......
At 2:15 in the morning, she woke up from her sleep again covered in cold sweat, covering her left chest with a faint pain and wailing: Sister, just spare me! I've been doing this damn dream for more than ten years, okay, I know that you didn't die of illness, you died of starvation, can we change the plot?
The more she talked, the more angry she became, and she shouted at the roof with her messy hair like a bird's nest: Just for this broken dream, Lao Tzu doesn't get enough sleep every day, and he wants to eat everything he sees! If I can bite the lid of the pot, I can chew it and eat it!
If you don't bother Lao Tzu, it's annoying! Go to bed! If you dare to come out again, I will go to you and strangle you directly......
After talking to himself like a madman in a room without the light on, Yue Xi lay straight on the bed and continued to sleep.
Ten minutes later, when she had just fallen asleep, she saw a lightning bolt pierce the dark night sky, illuminating the empty hall without lights and candles in an instant......
I can't live this day! At 6:15, Yue Xi, who had observed a dream, stared at the two pandas and entered the bathroom, sat on the toilet and swayed and just wanted to sleep, and after a few minutes she really fell asleep, but after a lightning bolt in the dream cut through the dark night sky, she stood up directly, and after quickly lifting her pants, she thought a little proudly: Fortunately, Lao Tzu woke up quickly, or she would have to starve to death again!
However, she was still complacent a second ago, and she was stunned when she saw the toilet paper in her hand, and suddenly had a not-so-wonderful premonition: Did she forget......
……
At ten o'clock, there was a knock on the door, no more, no less than three rings.
Beibei, my sister is here! With a strange scream, Yue Xifeng blew to the door, opened the door lock and pulled the door open: Beauty, morning!
There was a beautiful boy like a flower standing at the door, like the little prince who walked out of the comics, with a slender figure and a slightly thin figure, looking like he hadn't grown up. His large eyes were partially obscured by soft half-length bangs, and Yue Xi could only see his bright eyes through the gaps in his hair, emitting a soft and warm light like black gems.
How do you take a shower early in the morning? Jun Bei looked at her with wet hair and asked: And she didn't blow dry.
------Off topic------
I put the entanglement between Yuexi and Beibei and others in the outer volume~
Everyone in the province doesn't understand why she is obsessed with the boy who looks the same as Beibei~
