Chapter 178: Settle Together
Duanyue forgot the sadness in her heart for a while, and she groped to find a gap above the vermilion gate, the size of which should have been carved out by the person who delivered the food every day, so that the food could be in and out. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
She stood on tiptoe and tried to look at the vacancy. Duanyue saw that inside the vermilion gate was a small courtyard of defeat, the dead leaves and dust fell to the ground, and the few trees planted in the courtyard had withered and only branches remained, like a pair of ghost hands with teeth and claws, which looked very scary under the moonlight.
"Where are you?" Duanyue whispered inside, she is also bold, and she is not afraid of any demons and monsters suddenly appearing. It's hard not to be scared at night in such a gloomy place.
Duanyue's voice fell, and a woman dressed in plain clothes slowly walked out from the horse, her hair was scattered, her eyes were closed, and her dress and hair were blown by the wind, which frightened Duanyue to retreat again and again. Is this a man or a ghost?
"Don't be afraid." The person inside also vaguely felt Duanyue's timidity, and she gently comforted Duanyue, so that Duanyue had the courage to look into the vacancy again.
When she saw this woman with a cloak that looked like a female ghost, she felt very familiar. I squinted my eyes through the moonlight and watched for a long time, and then I cried out "oops". Isn't this the Abolition of the Threshold Clan! Duanyue immediately made an effort to move forward and asked the Threshold Clan. "Is it the Queen's Mother?"
When she heard this long-lost title, she was stunned for a moment, and then a mocking smile appeared on her lips. "It's still the queen's mother, it's time to call it the Abolition Queen." She turned her face to Duanyue, frowning and very confused. "Listening to your voice is very familiar, and I know that I am a waste, but who have you ever seen?"
Duanyue pursed her lips, seeing the current downcast appearance of the Threshold Clan, she was very emotional in her heart. I still remember that the Threshold was so graceful and luxurious, even if the years have left traces on her face, but she is still as arrogant as a peony flower. But at this moment, she has lost a lot of weight, and her face is sunken and she almost can't recognize who it is. What was originally jet-black hair turned gray overnight.
"I ...... I'm Duanyue, the lord of Shi'an County. Duanyue's eyes trembled and looked at the Threshold Clan, even if there was not much contact before, but at this moment, it was also touching the scene. Are you alright, Queen? ”
"Shi'an ......?" Threshold repeated it in her mouth, and she nodded slightly at Duanyue. "It's okay, I can't die. It's just that these eyes were blinded by Feng Bei'er, but they didn't tighten it, and they couldn't see it out of sight and their hearts were pure. ”
Duanyue subconsciously looked at her eyes, which were deeply sunken in their sockets, lifeless. I didn't expect it to be the poisonous hand of the Empress Dowager, and I really responded to the sentence of becoming a king or defeating a villain.
Lishi was silent for a moment, and she asked Duanyue. "Are Yin'er and Wan'er okay?"
As a parent, even if you are in a difficult situation, you still have a heart in mind for your children. Duanyue looked at her so worried, and she felt inexplicably empty. She clutched her sleeves with her hands, as if there were two villains arguing in her heart, whether she should tell the truth or not.
Meng Yin has been in a slump since the Threshold Clan was deposed, and he has no intention of asking the government again, and he has no fighting spirit. And the four princesses are still going to the Uighurs and relatives today because of Duanyue. How can Duanyue say this?
She licked her chapped lips and forced herself to smile and laugh briskly at Lil. "Queen Mother, don't worry, you are also clear about Meng Tao's temperament. He has been friends with Meng Yin since he was a child, so even in this situation, he still takes care of him alone. And the fourth princess is a woman who lives deep in the palace and is ignorant of the world, and no one will covet her. ”
Duanyue paused and added. "The two of them are living well now, but they still miss the queen more or less."
Hearing Duanyue's false statement, Li's worried face relaxed, and she lowered her head and sighed secretly, as if a big stone in her heart had fallen to the ground. "Thank you, can you do me another favor?"
The Lime took off the jade bracelet he was wearing, handed it to Duanyue, and pleaded softly. "Please give this jade bracelet to Wan'er, she has grown up beside me since she was a child, she must be flustered when she thinks about it, I just want this jade bracelet to make her feel at ease. Also, help me bring a message to Yin'er, 'No matter what, life is the most important thing'. ”
"I'll definitely bring the words and things of the Queen Mother." Duanyue carefully put the jade bracelet into his waist. She looked at the Lime for a long time and didn't know what to say, and bitterness permeated the tip of her tongue.
On the contrary, the Threshold Clan looked very relaxed, and she waved at Duanyue to signal her to leave quickly. "Let's go, don't be seen by the guards who have come from the shift, or you will be implicated by me."
"That'...... Take care of the Queen. Duanyue turned around and walked briskly on the gravel road, a feeling of depression permeating her body. In just one day, I didn't expect so many things to happen.
Duanyue, who didn't know the way, went around in a circle, and finally returned to the front of the main hall. After a period of delay, the banquet was coming to an end, and the emperor and the queen mother had already left, leaving only Wei Que to greet everyone a few words, and the guests left one after another.
Lu Qingyi walked out of the gate with Yan Feng's hand, and at a glance saw Duanyue standing in front of her with a confused face, so she hurriedly walked up to her and asked suspiciously. "Satsuki? Didn't you go out a long time ago and say you were going home? Why are you still here? ”
"I ...... I'm lost......" Duanyue scratched her head in embarrassment to hide her weakness. She hurriedly jumped to the side of the wind and took his other hand and said. "It's not good, we can go back together."
The wind lowered her head and looked Duanyue's face up and down, and keenly noticed that her slightly red and swollen eyes and the tear stains on her cheeks were keen, and she immediately noticed that she was crying. But since Duanyue is now pretending to be smiling, asking again is just to uncover the scar.
He knows Duanyue's character, and he is the kind of person who would rather suffocate himself than tell his heart.
"Oh! By the way, my brother and sister-in-law will wait for me for a while! Duanyue's afterglow caught a glimpse of the thin fourth princess, and immediately remembered that she was still carrying the jade bracelet of the threshold clan in her arms, and ran towards the fourth princess.
She stood in front of the fourth princess, and before she could speak. The four princesses raised their heads and glanced at Duanyue coldly, and walked towards their dormitory without saying a word. During the period, she didn't give Duan Yue a moment to speak, which made her so embarrassed.
Duanyue's hand stretched out to her waist for a moment, at a loss. Lu Qingyi saw this scene in her eyes, she looked at the back of the fourth princess and sighed with pity, and comforted Duanyue softly. "I think she probably holds a grudge against you. After all, if it weren't for your refusal, the Empress Dowager would not have named her to kiss. ”
"I ...... Is it wrong again? Duanyue innocently raised her head to look at Yan Feng and Lu Qingyi, she bit her lip, and felt very uncomfortable.
The wind looked at her and shook her head slightly. "Every man has his own life, and every man is at peace."
