Chapter 30: Into the Devil's Cave

"Boss Wu didn't say anything about you, you are too outrageous! Your girl is going on a hunger strike, you don't persuade her well, and you come to invite the prince every time, what do you mean? Xiao Yuanzi pinched an orchid finger, and Bai Shengsheng's face was full of dissatisfaction: "The prince is busy with official business every day, this trivial matter to disturb the prince, delay the national affairs, you can take care of it!" Xiao Yuanzi couldn't get used to this old bustard for a long time, and he didn't look at his identity, so he took a feather duster and pretended to be a token. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Cen Niang also knew that she had made the other party impatient, but what could she do, the dream was cultivated by herself, and it was a pity to give up like this, and she couldn't bear it. Thinking of this, Cen Niang buried the humiliation of being buried: "Yuanye, I also know that the prince is busy with official business every day, and there is really no way to ask the prince, you can understand it!" Youmeng is the heart of the prince, if something happens, which of us is qualified to resist Youmeng", Cen Niang said softly and hardly, and Xiaoyuanzi was speechless.

"Wu Qiancen, are you threatening your father-in-law?" Xiaoyuan was annoyed and angry by what he said, and looked at Cen Niang with raised eyebrows and slanted eyes.

"Yuan Ye is not a mother threatening you, my mother is just a lowly old bustard, on weekdays, I rely on you patrons to appreciate your face, so I have a bite to eat, how dare I fight with you, my mother is just ...... It's just that I'm too worried about the dream, you also know the status of the dream in the heart of the prince, and the two of us can't get out of anything if something happens", Cen Niang's affectionate and careless appearance made the anger in Xiao Yuanzi's heart extinguished, and he waved his hand impatiently to signal Cen Niang to leave.

"What about the dream? Yuanye" Cen Niang saw that Xiao Yuanzi didn't say anything, and her expression was a little anxious.

"Don't worry! Tonight, the prince will go to the oblique building to visit the dream girl, you prepare everything first, don't let the prince be spoiled by the things that don't open his eyes", Xiao Yuanzi thought of the previous few times that the prince had been kind enough to visit the oblique building, but he was closed, and he was angry when he thought of it.

The old bustard's purpose was achieved, and he chatted a few words with Xiaoyuan's father-in-law, and left with a relieved face.

Yumeng looked at the lush trees through the wide open window, tears flowed silently, who knows what is in the dark heart, and who cares? Yumeng listened to the song of his favorite warbler in the past, and he also felt annoyingly tight.

"Ao Lang didn't expect you to forget our oath so soon, and now the wife and concubine are in your arms, so unexpected, where do you remember the yellow flower of yesterday", Youmeng lay on the bed and muttered weakly, sad and uncontrollable, tears fell silently, wet the pillow towel.

Why? Why choose her? Why break the oath? As soon as he thought that his lover had changed his mind and was infatuated with the wrong payment, Yumeng wanted to kill someone.

"Maybe Li Lang was just forced by the situation to marry someone else, and he didn't want to break his oath, and he didn't know what happened to Feng Lang now", every time you have to make excuses for him to calm the hatred in your heart. Youmeng was lying on the bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep peacefully, and Yumeng, who was preoccupied, looked at the closed door, as if through the door, he could see his Ao Lang through the layers of curtains.

"Why are you here at dawn, if you have three long and two short in the room alone, the old lady will peel your skin", Cen Niang's cheekbones are high, her eyebrows are clear, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes are like ditches. Cen Niang, who had just come back from the palace, was in a good mood, and kept going to see Youmeng, but saw Dawn sitting at the foot of the steps, supporting her chin with her hands, looking at the sky with her eyes and not knowing what she was doing, and she was in no good mood. Furious, he quickly stepped forward and reached out to grab Dawn's arm fiercely, twisting it fiercely, and suddenly Dawn's smooth skin was red and swollen, and Dawn's painful tears were thick but he didn't dare to make a sound.

"Mom didn't want to be lazy at dawn, but the girl wanted to be alone and quiet, so she drove dawn out, dawn didn't dare not listen to the girl's words, she wanted to tell her mother, Soho said that her mother was not there, and dawn had to sit under the steps", dawn told Rao again and again, hoping to escape punishment.

"Hmph, it's good that there is nothing wrong with Youmeng, if something happens, even if you have ten lives, you won't be enough to compensate", Cen Niang heard Dawn's words, let go of her tightened hand, and scolded a few more words and went to the attic.

Dawn stood on the steps, stretched out her hand to wipe her tears, straightened her dress and lifted her heels.

"Didn't dawn tell you not to bother me? Is it that even you don't listen to me now", Yumeng scolded with sorrowful anger, and was very dissatisfied with Dawn's behavior in his heart, and cried again when he thought of the bad things that had been going his way lately.

"Youmeng, it's your mother" Cen Niang swayed to Youmeng's bed, sat on the eaves of the bed, reached out to hold Youmeng's hand, and looked Youmeng up and down with a pair of shrewd eyes, full of shrewd calculations.

"Mom, can you leave first? Youmeng is alone and quiet", Youmeng glanced at her mother, her tone tired.

"You haven't eaten for several days, and your body can't bear it! Mom is worried that something has happened to you", Cen Niang took Youmeng's hand with a concerned expression.

"Mom, don't worry about Youmeng, Youmeng can't eat anything", Youmeng said with a sad face, and the angry Cen Niang's chest swelled.

"Youmeng's mother didn't want to interfere in your affairs, in my mother's heart, this oblique building, you are the smartest and most knowledgeable, I thought you could think clearly, but I didn't expect that now you are more and more out of proportion, and your mother can't let you go freely, today you will tell your mother a quasi", these days Cen Niang has been completely disappointed in Youmeng, and now it is a complete tear to the result.

"Mom, are you going to force the dream to death?" Youmeng's tears are like a flood bursting the embankment, flowing endlessly, Cen Niang hugged Youmeng, reached out and gently patted Youmeng's back to show comfort.

"Why? Why? Obviously, Youmeng loves Li Lang so much, Li Lang once promised to only have a soft spot for Youmeng for the rest of his life, and he obviously vowed that it was only a few summers, why did his mind change so quickly? The dream asked excitedly, venting the pain and sadness in her heart, as well as her incomprehension.

"Where does the stupid child's love come from, why, in the competition for love, the person who is often the first to be hurt the most, you are, so is the prince, you are just poor people who can't help themselves", Cen Niang gently stroked the top of Youmeng's head, and her tone was sad.

Why? Why? There are some things in this world that some people can't wait for. There is nowhere to put the precious things, and the pain in the heart is scattered with the wind, and no one can know. Only in the dream to hope for the past, every morning rooster crows, from the dream to wake up those beautiful dreams should be like falling flowers, no trace.

"You're still young, look away! To be honest, we shouldn't be emotional in our line of work, after all, we should hurt others and ourselves, you have to learn to see it, the love between men and women in this world is like a blooming flower, it will eventually wither, women are fleeting, you cherish the good years", Cen Niang brushed the sideburns of the falling dream with pity, which is both self-pity and pity.

"Mom" looked at Cen Niang with teary eyes, looking excited.

"Think about it! Mom won't disturb your rest, dress up well at night, King Xuan will come to see you at night", Cen Niang knew that people who got into a dead end would not turn, so she tucked the quilt for Youmeng and prepared to get up and leave.

"Mom, can you help Youmeng pass the buck, Youmeng is really not in the mood to meet guests", as soon as she heard Youmeng's words, Cen Niang had a headache, since she won the Oiran Contest, she was in a bad mood and didn't accept guests, and King Anping had a conflict and didn't accept guests, the guests didn't pick up the guests, the businessmen who were full of copper smell didn't answer, the old man didn't take the calculations, the guests were offended by her, and Cen Niang followed the customers every day to apologize. It's the first time Cen Niang has done this line of work, and it's the first time I've seen you like Youmeng.

"No way" Cen Niang categorically rejected Youmeng's request, stretched out her hand and rubbed Youmeng's forehead fiercely, and scolded with hatred: "Youmeng, you are a smart woman, you should understand how to choose, this is a lot of girls in the oblique building, my mother is not doing good things when you open the door to do business, your choice tonight determines your future status", Cen Niang threatened Youmeng, snorted coldly and turned around and left without looking back.

"Mom", the dream looked at Cen Niang's distant back, crying tears rippled.

"Squeak" The door opened, and at dawn, I saw the old bustard come out angrily at the bullfight, and took a few steps back and leaned against the wall, trying to reduce his sense of existence, so as not to be frightened by the fish pond.

"Can't see me, can't see me, don't see me," dawn prayed with her head bowed.

"Dawn" was really afraid of something, Dawn was shocked, and moved forward with her head down.

"In the future, do light work or do cheap work, it all depends on your ability today, King Xuan is coming to Xieyi Building tonight, my mother hopes that Youmeng can see the prince, you won't disappoint your mother, right?" Cen Niang gently patted Dawn's face, exhaled like an orchid, glanced at Dawn who was stunned, and went downstairs humming a song.

"It's already time, girl, just dress up! The prince is coming", looking at the half-dead dream lying on the bed, dawn was so anxious that tears were about to fall, kneeling in front of the dream couch and crying bitterly and begging.

"If Mother knows, Dawn will be punished, girl, you will pity Dawn!" Dawn begged bitterly, in the past, as long as the dream was begged by himself for a while, he would always be soft-hearted, but he didn't expect that today's previous tried and tested methods would be ineffective.

The dream heart lay on the bed like ashes, deaf to the cry of dawn, and dawn saw this despair. The body was weak, the body was weakly pressed on the legs, and he looked at Youmeng with a stunned expression, the corner of his eyes inadvertently swept the jade pendant on Youmeng's waist, his pupils contracted violently, and he stepped forward excitedly, grabbing Youmeng's arm deadly: "As long as you get up, girl, go to see King Xuan, dawn swears to the sky that you will find a way to let you meet King Anping."

"Li Lang", hearing the words of King Anping, Yumeng finally had a hint of reaction. The happy dawn heart is pounding, it is really the endless road, as for the consequences, it has been ignored by the dawn subconsciously, let's get through the catastrophe in front of me first! There's a tube for the future.

Dawn's dexterous hands flew up and down, and Dawn inadvertently glanced at the figure in the glasses, and praised in her heart: "Beauty is beauty, no matter what, it is lovely, and there are their untouchable maids who can compare", Dawn thought of this, and felt inexplicably depressed, although she had already accepted her fate.

Yumeng sat lazily and tiredly, the light movements of dawn made Yumeng drowsy, and the dawn gently combed Yumeng's silky long hair with a wooden comb, and the room was quiet, and the wick burned from time to time......

At dusk, the sunset swayed the last trace of residual heat, the sunset shone obliquely into the water, covering the lake with a layer of golden green veil, sitting quietly by the water pavilion, leaning slightly on the railing, raising his head lightly, looking at the birds passing by from time to time on the water surface, and his heart was full of sorrow.

Dream......

Youmeng heard a clear male voice from behind him, it was his dream person who was thinking about it at night, Yumeng's heart ached faintly, and he slowly turned around to look at the person who came, with a look of disbelief. The clear and light eyes were full of sorrow, and the eyes were facing Li Ao, with endless sorrow and endless longing in his eyes......

The evening breeze blew and blew off the remnants of flowers.

Youmeng has been haggard in recent days, her body is pinned and bone-like, and she looks at only one bone left, and the anxious Cen Niang is at a loss, and her heart keeps pounding.

Under the candlelight, Cen Niang looked at Youmeng's death-willed appearance, and comforted her bitterly: "Youmeng, why are you so hard, didn't you figure it out a few days ago?" Which one is it now? Youmeng looked stunned and couldn't say a word, Cen Niang kept wasting saliva on the air, and Cen Niang, who had been in the weather for a long time, slammed the door and left.

"You, where have you been in a dream lately? Said" Cen Niang sat on the top and looked at the dawn with an angry face, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes became more and more tortuous, and the layers were like the roots of weeds.

Dawn was kicked on the back knee by the turtle male, and the knees landed on the ground with a bang, and the huge recoil shook the dawn of the viscera and all the internal organs were faintly painful, and the trance internal organs were ruptured Generally yes, bursts of colic, the cold sweat of the dawn pain, the turtle grabbed the dawn's hair with his hand, leaned back vigorously, forcing the dawn's cheeks to be exposed in the air, and slapped the dawn's cheeks with his right hand, and the straight dawn powder was swollen and bleeding.

Cen Niang looked at Dawn's red and swollen cheeks and felt quite relieved: "Beat hard, beat to death, the old lady doesn't believe that this little slut doesn't speak", Cen Niang sat on the top and looked at Dawn condescendingly, her cruel eyes trembled in fright, and her body subconsciously shrank into a ball.

"I said, I said...... begging her mother to stop beating, Dawn cried hoarsely and begged for mercy.

"Tell me earlier! Why should you suffer such a sin", Cen Niang stepped forward and reached out and gently stroked Dawn's red, swollen and bleeding cheeks, frightened Dawn to dodge, Cen Niang's hand fell into the air all of a sudden.

Cen Niang didn't care, and stared at the dawn with cloudy eyes: "Where are you going with Youmeng?" Youmeng has been in pain since she came back."

"Miss is forced to die, I have to see King Anping, Dawn wanted to tell my mother, but unfortunately I never had the opportunity, and then Dawn accompanied the Dream Girl to the Dream Garden, and my mother checked it! Dawn was forced, even if Dawn had a few more dares, she wouldn't dare to lie", Dawn ignored the bloodstains on her face, and shouted loudly, her forehead slammed on the ground, Cen Niang looked at the bloodstains on the ground and didn't speak for a long time.

"Someone dragged this slut down to the old lady, locked him up, didn't give anything, and let her fend for herself", Cen Niang looked at the dawn with a cold expression, as if looking at the dead.

"Mom, you promised the slave that you would spare the slave's life, why don't you speak?" Dawn was dragged out by two big men, his body rubbed on the ground and hurt his heart, and Dawn Wow Wow screamed non-stop.

"Cen Niang, what are you going to do next? Youmeng is now determined to live and die, no matter what, he is indifferent", the turtle who had just beaten the dawn saw that there was no one around, strode forward and hugged Cen Niang, and his lips touched Cen Niang's earlobe: "Youmeng is your only killer weapon, and now this killer weapon has lost its value, what are you going to do?"

"What should I do?" Cen Niang muttered but didn't say anything.

"Is there anyone? I want to drink water...... Dawn has been locked in the firewood room for a day and a night, during which there is nothing to eat or drink, there is no living person around, and the hungry and cold Dawn is weak and has no strength to stand up, Dawn lies on the ground and crawls towards the door little by little, his right hand is on the door and shakes vigorously, the closed door keeps swaying, but he can't even hear a human voice.

There was no one around the firewood room, the lonely dawn leaned weakly against the door, listening to the cicadas singing in the treetops in the distance, remembering the lively times in the past, and a burst of resentment surged in his heart: "Why do you have to bear the consequences of what you dream do, why can you have beautiful clothes and food, why is it also a Qinglou woman, she can get everything, but she is difficult to die", Dawn hates the culprit Youmeng, and also hates the old bustard Cen Niang, and hates himself to become the king of the Qinglou woman.

No one can answer Dawn, at noon, the tip of Dawn's nose wafted through the aroma of food, because of the smell of rice in the cold air, the air seemed to add a trace of warmth, Dawn's body shrunk, resentful thought: "You wait for me, as long as I can live at dawn, I will want you to live rather than die, I will not let go of anyone who offends me", the hungry and dizzy dawn became darker and darker in front of his eyes, and finally he couldn't see anything and passed out.

The courtyard gate was closed, the endless sky in the dark night was twinkling with countless stars, and the bright moon hung high silently watching all the wind and snow on the vast earth.

The crockpot on the stove was constantly boiling, Dawn reached out and picked up a rag to open the lid of the jar, looked at the medicine that was gradually drying up, and hurriedly poured the medicine into the porcelain bowl on the side, the black and brown medicine exuded heat, just looking at how bitter it was, Dawn shook her head and picked up the tray from the kitchen to the west wing.

The girl drank the medicine, and the dawn cried out habitually, and the echo of dawn was immediately heard in the empty room.

"Alas, it's like a living dead all day, and I don't know when I'll wake up", dawn was sent here by the bustard half a month ago to take care of this woman, the bustard said that as long as the girl can wake up, she will spare her life to atone for her sins, originally dawn was full of hope, but this day after day hope has become despair, the bustard from the beginning of a day, into a visit once every five days.

Dawn carefully fed the unconscious girl medicine, but unfortunately she didn't eat much, most of it overflowed and wasted, Dawn gently wiped the girl on the bed, and sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the sleeping beauty.

"The old beggar doesn't know that she has harmed the good girl of that family again", looking at the woman on the bed, dawn is really sorry for her, and it is a fool's dream to escape from the hands of the old bustard, and she can only fall into the fire kang for the rest of her life.

"It's really salty and eating radishes and worrying about it, it's hard to protect yourself, and you still have time to worry about others", Dawn smiled self-deprecatingly, got up and walked outside with the medicine bowl, and closed the door with a creak, Dawn didn't know that the moment she turned around, the woman on the bed moved her right index finger slightly, and in a blink of an eye, she was calm again, as if the movement just now was just an illusion.
