Chapter Eighty-Six: Be Honest
Miao Wu jerked my face over, looked at me fixedly, and asked, "Girl, are you crazy?" Are you confused? Girl, do you know what you're talking about? ”
I nodded emphatically and choked up, "I know......" I turned my head, looked at the concubine on the bed, and said to Miaowu, "Concubine, it's not a ...... who killed himself"
Miao Wu hurriedly looked at the busy palace people in the room, pulled me outside, and asked, "Girl, how do you know?" ”
I asked rhetorically, "The concubine loves flowers and plants so much...... How could she give up her life...... Even if the cold palace is boring, she will never do this......"
Miao Wu frowned and said, "Girl, say that...... You have no basis? ”
I shook my head and cried, "I just looked, the strangulation marks on the concubine's neck were not strangled when she hanged herself, but were hung on the beams of the house after she was killed," I grabbed Miao Wu and said, "The strangulation marks on the concubine's neck are not very heavy bruises and blood, and they are slowly fading ......"
Miao Wu's face slowly turned pale, and after listening, she said suddenly: "I'll go find the imperial doctor to take a look!" ”
I grabbed Miao Wu and shook my head, "No," I shook my head and sighed, "The Imperial Doctor must have seen it just now, and if he didn't say it, it means that he probably can't say it." It seems ......"
Miao Wu also understood what I meant, looked inside the room, and sighed, "Is it someone who is instructing or hindering anyone's business?" Miao Wu turned to me and said sadly, "But, girl, the concubine can't just disappear like this." ”
I nodded and said softly: "There are only a few people in the palace who can do this now, and it is not very difficult to find out." ”
Miao Wu nodded, looked at the dead branches and leaves in the yard and said, "What about finding out?" The concubine still went, and she couldn't come back. ”
I didn't speak, and Miao Wu said after a while: "Even if this person is found, the evidence and everything are no longer there, but how can it be good?" ”
I turned around and walked outside, and said lightly, "There will always be a way." Let's go back......"
As soon as I stepped out of the courtyard gate, the bright sunset greeted me. Beyond the brilliant color of the glazed tile, the sky is covered with countless harmonious colors, orange yellow, warm yellow, yellow, light yellow, slowly faded, straight spread for half a piece of the sky, even with the clouds in the sky are yellow and clear color......
In the corners and corners, a few jackdaws flew out obliquely, fluttering off a few ice cubes hanging in the dark corners, and the ice cubes fell on the carved fence of white marble and shattered...... The shrill sound became more and more harsh in this cool place, and the person was already numb and did not feel harsh. A few jackdaws flew away in fright, still up and down, left and right, looking like little jackdaws learning to fly......
I squinted at them and watched them fly away, knowing that they were hidden outside the carved beams and paintings, so I muttered: "Fly away...... The little bird is learning to fly far away, but people are ruthlessly taking their lives because they are involved in a world that does not belong to them...... People still seem to be more impersonal than other lives......
Miao Wu helped me along the green brick road, and she looked back at the cold palace, where a light silk thread of silk fluttered down and hung on the dead grass. Miao Wu looked at it but suddenly let go of me, ran to the corner and vomited, I hurried over and asked, "What do you say?" What's wrong with you? ”
Miao Wu turned around, and I saw that her face was full of tears, and she cried, "Girl, it's so dirty here...... and she cried and grabbed me, "I'm afraid, afraid that one day it will be our turn...... Girl...... Let's get out of here......"
I looked at her quietly and said, "Miao Wu, we can't leave here, although I know that there will be a few days of peace outside, but I'm afraid we will die here......"
Miao Wu hugged me, cried loudly, and finally knelt on the ground, crying uncontrollably. I just stood quietly on the side, looked at her, and for a while, squatted down and hugged her and said, "Cry, just cry." I'm sorry to let you see this for such a young child......"
It was not late, but it was much darker. Miao Wu cried sadly, and even the wind around her was much colder. The palace lanterns are all lit, and when you look at the past, you can see that there are all the lights of the stars......
In the distance, a few lanterns came from afar. Before I got close, I saw a light rushing towards me, and when I saw it clearly, it turned out to be Lin'er. She ran over, crouched down and said, "Girl, why are you still here?" It's so late, the emperor has come to look for you. ”
I looked up, and sure enough, it was Zi Ah Lin'er, Yuyu and them, and there was a team of people from the emperor. Miao Wu had long since lost her strength and fainted. I called the Wang family and Wang An to take her back, and I had already stood up and waited for Ah Han to come over.
Ah Han walked over and asked with concern, "Why are you still here after all this?" ”
I looked back at the cold palace, turned around, shook my head, and said, "I forgot the time for a while." ”
Ah Han also glanced at the cold palace, his eyes deepened a little, and he still smiled faintly: "Go back quickly, it's going to be cold at night." "As he spoke, he put a big coat on me.
I didn't want to go back in a sedan chair, so Ah Han walked back with me.
Counting the days, it was soon the New Year, and the concubine went before she saw the New Year. The palace lamps in the palace are festive and peaceful, and even the threshold is freshly oiled. The flying dragon on the wall was painted with gold again, and the golden color would shine in the faint light of the lantern.
In such a festival, how can anyone remember the concubine? The palace here is very good, everything is the best in the world, but human life is not valuable.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Ah Han asked, "Why don't you just speak?" Xi'er, are you uncomfortable? ”
I shook my head and smiled reluctantly, "I'm just tired and don't want to talk." ”
Seeing me like this, Ah Han didn't say much, just led me and walked towards Chenji Palace. Although the group was in a hurry, they were silent.
After a long time, I asked lightly, "Ah Han, are you a person who is easy to let go of things?" ”
Ah Han looked at me in some surprise, and for a while, he still smiled like a star: "No," he grabbed my hand tightly and said, "I did everything I could, just to protect the person I wanted to protect, if there was such and such unpleasantness, I would remember, absolutely never forget." ”
When I listened, I suddenly froze. Xu felt my coldness, and Ah Han said softly: "Xi'er, I just can't accept it, some people have hurt the people I love," he pinched my face and said, "It's not that I'm a bloodthirsty tyrant!" ”
I looked at his serious and nervous look, and smiled warmly: "I know." ”
I walked a few steps, calmed down, and asked, "Ah Han, do you know about Liuxian Pavilion?" ”
Ah Han stopped, and all the people behind him stood still, he just looked at me with doubtful eyebrows.
I continued to walk and said lightly: "I used to really think that the first emperor didn't want to see you, until one day in the pouring rain, I saw that there was light in Liuxian Pavilion, and I couldn't help but go up and hear all the plans of the first emperor in the corner." ”
Ah Han just followed me quietly and didn't speak. I said again: "So I have always wanted to tell Ah Qing to guard against the first emperor, but unfortunately, I was one step late." ”
I took Ah Han's hand and said, "I just want to tell you that I already know a lot of things. I don't want to hide it from you. ”
Ah Han said softly for a long time: "I know my father's plan. ”
I looked up at him with wide eyes. I didn't expect Ah Han to say this to me. He looked at me and smiled, "I already knew. So at the palace banquet of the Double Ninth Festival, although I knew that my father would not be angry because you chanted poems for me, he might cut you and make an appearance for everyone, so he asked you to kneel. Starling used you to sabotage and provoke me I also know that Chrysanthemum made me see you crying in the yard, and later fell into the water, all of which he did on purpose. Also, you persuaded the starling to give up the throne, and you hid it from the fifth brother that I sent someone to follow, and I know it. ”
After listening to it, I also smiled faintly: "Fortunately, there is still you, and you can make me believe." ”
Ah Han smiled softly: "Go back, you should be so tired by this time." ”
I nodded, followed him, and returned to Chenji Palace. Ah Han's back was tall and handsome, and in the dark, I heard his cold and silent voice: "Xi'er, I'm sorry." ”
I was just stunned and asked, "Why is that?" ”
Ah Han said lightly: "The big wedding with Liang Yu'er, I really can't tell you like that, and I don't want you to know, so I begged my father to let you stay in the palace." ”
I smiled faintly and said, "Do you know? Liang Yuer's wedding dress is still my choice! ”
Ah Han turned around, pulled me, with deep guilt between his eyebrows, and said, "I'm sorry." ”
I shook my head, thinking of everything the old palace man told me about Ah Han, including why Liang Yu'er didn't want to see me. I just laughed: "It's all over, I know, I understand." It's just that I'm too stupid, I should have seen this kind of thing earlier, I saw through it earlier, but I always didn't know, and when I knew, I always had trouble with you, it's just yesterday. ”
Ah Han also said seriously: "I'm sorry for you first, you're okay." ”
Chenji Palace was close in front of me, and I smiled: "There will be no such words in the future, be honest with each other." ”
Ah Han nodded and said, "Hurry up and have dinner, let you make trouble, I still have a bunch of twists and turns left." ”
I nodded and said, "Go ahead." "I watched Ah Han leave with someone, and I stood at the gate of Chenji Palace for a long time, and I couldn't even see the shadow before I was ready to go in.
Wang Ning was waiting for me at the door with a lantern, and when he saw that I didn't go in, he called softly: "Girl......"
I asked lightly: "Wang Ning, it's a shame that there is still Ah Han in this world, otherwise I don't know what to do." ”
Wang Ning thought for a long time, didn't know what to say, and finally said: "Girl, it's not easy for two people, and understanding each other can last a lifetime." ”
I smiled, turned around, snatched Wang Ning's lantern, and said, "You know a lot about the partiality," Wang Ning smiled, and I asked, "Have you eaten?" ”
Wang Ning nodded, and I smiled: "I don't need you here, you go and rest, it's tiring." Wang Ning didn't leave yet, I glanced at him, and he left slowly.
I carried the lantern into the main hall, and when I saw Yuyu waiting for me, I handed the lantern to Xiang'er and sat down to eat.
