Chapter Seventy-Three: The Law of Survival Here
She walked forward, and the maid felt that she heard her footsteps, and raised her head suddenly, and the blood on her forehead flowed from the corners of her eyes, and it looked like bloody tears, which aroused the longing in her heart, and made her heart feel a little inexplicably restless. She swallowed a mouthful of water.
The maid Shui Ling's big eyes stared at her movements for a moment, full of vigilance, for fear that she would step forward and break her neck in the next second.
She didn't step forward to pick her up, she didn't let her go back, and she didn't break her neck as she thought. She took a few steps, pushed open the door of the dormitory, and walked in.
Still leaning back on the bed, his eyes closed, the king asked, "What's wrong?" ”
She knew that the king was asking about what had just happened, and she blinked her eyes and said, "It's a little uncomfortable to change the maid." ”
The king did not seem to hear her answer, saying, "She has provoked you?" ”
She shook her head, looking a little flustered, what if the king killed her? "No, she didn't mess with me."
"You're in a bad mood?" Wang changed the question, and did not seem to intend to pursue it any further. She breathed a sigh of relief.
She prevaricated to answer the king's question, "Because I didn't sleep well, I wasn't in good spirits." ”
The king opened his golden eyes, with a sense of strength, as if he wanted to look into her heart. After a long time, he closed his eyes, nodded, and whispered a 'hmm'.
She nodded too, walked to the bed, got into bed, and lay on the bed with her back to the king.
The king embraced her from behind and hugged her tightly. They didn't seem to have embraced like this for a long time.
Wang whispered in her ear, with a hint of bewitchment in his voice, but it really made her heart chill.
The king said, "If you don't like that maid, then there is no need for her to exist in this world." ”
Her heart tightened, and then a sense of sadness drowned the sky. His face was desolate, but the king, who had his back to him, could not see it. She shook her head and pressed the note out of her throat, "No, she's good, I like her a lot......"
Wang Zhilu said that she was saying something against her will, but she didn't say anything, just hugged her tighter.
Inside the dormitory, there was silence.
She slowly fell into deep thought, only to feel that her heart was already cold.
Earlier, Sai Sakura died, and Cai Er came to take Sai Sakura's place. Now that Cai'er is also dead, there is someone else to replace Cai'er. No one will feel guilty or lament for someone else's death.
The world is so cold and cruel...... She may have already seen through that in this world, the powerful, the powerful, and the rich can trample others under their feet, jokingly look at others' painful expressions as if they were experiencing purgatory, and use other people's pain as the spice of life to entertain themselves. And at the bottom, people who have no power, no power, and nothing have their lives like mustard, like fish on a chopping board, to be slaughtered and deprived.
This world is too cruel, and it makes her a little scared.
Now she is the king's concubine, and no one else can bully her, hurt her, and she is under the king's protection. Later, if she leaves, what will happen to her? What will it be like? Who will you meet? What will happen? Or she will live the life she imagined, peaceful, free, and tranquil. Or, she will be caught, abused, and made her miserable. Or......
No, she didn't dare to think about it anymore.
However, she could not stand it any longer, she no longer longed for this fruitless love, and she no longer wanted to be by his side like this, so she waited for the time, and waited for that day, and when the king did not pay attention, she left and never returned. Of course, this time, she won't intend to hurt anyone again.
Of course, she didn't think that she would leave the king easily, and it would be easy to deceive him.
Call. She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
Don't think about it, when the time comes, you must leave without nostalgia, and that's it.
Wang hugged her arms tightly, she turned her back to Wang and said, "Wang, can you give Cai'er a funeral?" ”
The king spat out a sentence lightly, "There is no funeral for slaves and maids." ”
She was a little angry. If there is no funeral for slaves and maids, are they thrown into the pile of the dead? Slaves and maids are also human beings. She retorted, "King, Cai'er is not a slave. And slaves and maids are also human beings, everyone is equal, why can't there be a funeral for slaves and maids? ”
"Cai'er is from the Night Rabbit Clan, and she is a mercenary." Wang said indifferently. It seems that whether Cai'er is a mercenary or not, whether it harms him or not, has nothing to do with him.
Yes, Cai'er is a mercenary, she has nothing to say. But......
Seeing that she did not speak, the king continued, "For more than three hundred years, no slave or maid has had a funeral after his death. ”
"It's breaking the rules, isn't it?" She asked, looking a little ugly.
"No one has ever made such a rule," the king said. ”
She felt a chill in her heart. It turns out that no one has ever treated slaves and maidservants as human beings. However, Concubine Lingfei is still a special case, and she regards the maid she bought back as her sister, so she wants to take revenge on her, but the death of Concubine Ling's maid has nothing to do with her, and she doesn't know when she executed a maid from beginning to end.
She said, "King, can you cremate Cai'er?" ”
Wang nodded behind her back, "Hmm." ”
She closed her eyes and soon fell asleep. The king's breath gradually evened out.
The next morning, she opened her eyes and rubbed them a few times.
The king is not around, he must have gone to the early court.
She sat up and thought about yesterday. There was so much going on yesterday that she couldn't accept it now that she looked back on it.
At this time, the maid from last night walked up to her bed and reached out and gave her a glass of water.
She took it, and after taking a sip, she felt a lot calmer in her heart. When I looked up, it turned out to be the maid from last night. The top of her forehead was wrapped in a bandage, and there was faint blood stains. Her big eyes were curved like crescent moons, and she only felt uncomfortable when she saw it, because there was a flattering look in this smile, and she hadn't seen such a look for a long time.
She handed her the water and asked her, "What's your name?" ”
The maid smiled and said, "The slave's name is Cai'er." ”
Cai'er ...... These two words pierced her heart.
She didn't know why she was angry, and asked loudly, "Who used that name?" ”
Maybe her voice was too big, or maybe the maid was too timid, or maybe the outside spread her reputation was too terrible. After hearing what she said, the maid's hand shook, and with a 'snap', the water cup in the maid's hand fell to the ground.
She couldn't help but tremble, and then, she knelt on the ground, pleaded with her, and explained this, "Concubine Xue, you forgive you...... Forgiveness of sins, is ...... It's the slave who listens and listens to people, and you like it very much...... I like a maid named Cai'er, so the slave maid ...... The slave maid changed her name to Cai'er on her own initiative...... Hope to be around you...... Can be used as a substitute for Cai'er...... You forgive the slave and the slave, and the slave and the slave dare not ......"
