Chapter 20: Intersection
In the Chunxi Hall, light smoke rose from the clouds, and the Guanyin monks on the Buddhist shrine were compassionate and solemn, as if smiling rather than smiling, looking at the world without sadness or joy, looking at this disturbing world. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
"Fei Seyao, the eagles you trained are good, but the people are not very good." The kneeling woman bowed to Guanyin before she stood up, the sandalwood beads in her hand constantly turning.
"Auntie, do you mean Mei Shuang?" Fei Seyao knelt in front of her aunt in a regular manner, motionless, and even seemed to be deliberately slowing down her breathing.
"It seems that you also understand that she hasn't even sent a word so far, if it doesn't work, she will abandon it."
"Yes, Auntie."
"Also, are you sure about Jiang Qing's control?"
"At this point, I can assure my aunt that she is a smart person and will not kill herself."
"You are too bold, you actually crossed me and let her see the emperor!"
"She's a smart person, and knowing who she's loyal to, I'm sure she'll be more useful. If the aunt thinks that Seyao is reckless, Seyao is willing to accept the punishment. β
"Our people say she's good, but I think ~ she's too creative."
"Yes, Jiang Qing is the best of the four, she is measured and smart, aunt don't worry, I have already laid ten ice Gu on her."
"Ten Ice Gu?"
"Yes."
"It seems that you are really interested in her, the person you and she both value, I will meet her as soon as possible."
"Yes. Does my aunt have any other instructions? β
"You should have something to say to me."
"What do you mean, aunt?"
"Your own business."
"Seyao never dared to hide it from her aunt."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"You're fifty-two years old, a dog."
β¦β¦
"You were only seven years old when I met you, and so many years have passed in the blink of an eye."
"Auntie, you saved me and raised me single-handedly, I-"
"I believe you, but the emperor is the heaven of the Great Qing Kingdom, and there can't be a half-point difference on this day, do you understand?"
β¦β¦
"I, I was followed by the people of the Fourth Master's Mansion."
"Hehe, Fourth Master, it's not surprising, he is strict in governing the family, didn't it take us a lot of Zhou Zhang to send people in?"
"Please punish my aunt, I just had a selfish heart for a while, so I hid something."
"You've never been out on a business trip before, this is the first time and the last time!"
"Aunt Xie!"
"Fourth master's people, don't move for the time being, I'm still useful."
"Yes."
After her aunt walked away, Fei Seyao got up from the ground, and her underwear was already wet and heavy. Fleeing back into the house, he killed many, many people, never merciless, never soft, never merciful, never had nightmares, as if he was a natural killer, he could do everything without training, this is his talent, and it is also the foundation of his life. Casinos, brothels, cinemas, restaurants, temple fairs...... He didn't like any of this, and he went to these places to kill someone, or to control someone, and it was more exciting and satisfying to stick a knife into a person's body, to see a person's struggle before they die, or to see the fear of others. thought that beyond all this, there would be nothing in the world that could make him feel afraid, but the strange thing was that as long as he saw his aunt, Fei Seyao would be involuntarily afraid. The woman discovered his talent and set him on the path he was supposed to take, as if everything was perfect and he shouldn't have any emotions! Fifty-two years old, the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, he is like this for the rest of his life, and he does everything for his aunt with peace of mind.
In the Fourth Master's Mansion, it is also under the gaze of Master Guanyin-
"Did you find out?" The fourth master's Buddha beads also rotated in his hand.
"Back to the fourth master, no, he went to a lot of places, and he couldn't get close to eavesdropping, so he couldn't be sure. Please punish the fourth master. Toutuo replied with a guilty face.
"Does he have any hobbies?" Yin Zhen's eyes were gloomy.
"Although he went to the brothel casino, it was just a formality. No one can stick to him! β
"I don't believe it, you keep an eye on me, and you must find out his weaknesses."
"Yes."
"Your nephew is not bad, you can let him come out to serve the court."
"What does the fourth master mean?"
"Shandong was hit by a drought, and the White Lotus Sect made waves, intercepted the official grain, and the silver taels for disaster relief, I want to know whose heads the officials used it for?"
"Do you want Tong Ling to go?"
"Yes, he is honest and steady, and I believe he can get the job done. Let him protect the Thirteenth Master and visit secretly. β
"Yes, I'll do it."
"Wait, with the results, send them back with a fast horse, you know?"
β¦β¦
"Master, I'm afraid the Thirteenth Master won't be willing."
"I don't want him to do anything for me, never again!"
Toutuo retreated silently, the scent of sandalwood came from the room, and Yinzhen closed his eyes tightly, reciting the "Diamond Sutra" wholeheartedly.
Toutuo went to Tong Ling, he wanted to help the fourth master get the world, and only his respectable fourth master could govern the world.
When they lost their father at the age of three, their uncle bullied their orphans and widows, and drove them out of the house for the sake of the family property. At the age of five, he went to the neighboring village to listen to the play, in the play, as long as he was admitted to the champion, he could punish the wicked, he was full of hope, fantasizing about getting the justice he deserved, he knelt at the feet of Mr. Private School, he wanted to take the top prize, to punish the bad guys, the old pedant symbolically accepted a basket of taro, and became his apprentice. At the age of fifteen, he became a showman with the first place in the township, justice is in front of him, as long as he becomes a lifter and a champion, everything will not be a problem. He studied desperately and desperately marched towards justice.
The wind rose suddenly, the dark clouds pressed over, the hut crumbled in the wind and rain, Fang Zhicheng rushed back to the hut, he didn't know when the shoe on his left foot had been lost. Breaking into the house, the house was so messy that it was like being ransacked, Fang Zhicheng couldn't believe all this, he turned around and rushed into the rainstorm to find: "Teacher~, Teacher~, Yun Niang~, Yun Niang~,......" Every sound was heartbreaking. Two days later, the corpse of the old scholar was salvaged in the river, and the corpse was soaked in the river water and was no longer formed, and Fang Zhicheng no longer knew what the pain was at this time......
"The purity of the past three queens/Where the solid people are fang/Miscellaneous pepper and fungus Guixi/How can it be that the husband is in danger/The fear of the emperor's defeat is ......"
He read his teacher's favorite "Lisao", jumped into the river, as desperate and firm as Qu Yuan......
The news of the crown princess's critical illness spread, and everyone turned their eyes to the ominous East Palace, and the minions secretly discussed in private, whether the East Palace's qi was exhausted, and they were thinking about finding a good way out, relying on their godfather and aunt, everyone looked at the glorious palace but hidden in the twilight with uneasy eyes, hoping that they would not be implicated in the end.
Shi Mengxin was about to die, Yinren got Meng Liangfu's return, he couldn't help but put a bowl of hot tea on Meng Liangfu's head, and burned the country's hands all over his face.
"If you can't heal the crown princess, you just wait for the whole family to be buried together!" Yinren left this sentence and kicked the door out of the room.
Meng Liangfu's head slammed on the ground, and he didn't dare to move, until the eunuch on duty helped him up, he walked tremblingly to the princess's ward, and checked the princess's pulse again with his wet clothes, which made the people around him a little unbearable.
Yinren returned to the study, his heart was full of blockage, but he didn't know what it was, a maid sent the iced fruit, and gently put it on the table, Yinren glanced at the maid and asked, "Do you also think I don't know?" β
"The minions don't dare, the minions don't dare, did the minions do something wrong?"
"Aren't you looking for your counterpart and want to leave my house?"
"The slave has never been, the slave has always been loyal to the master, please the master to learn from it." The maidservant trembled like chaff.
Yinren borrowed the belt, and couldn't help but say that he strangled the neck of the maid with the belt, and with all her strength, the maid did not dare to resist, and just twisted her legs painfully before dying. And Yinren didn't know that she was dead, until his anger ended, he let go of the maid, the maid lay soft on the ground, Yinren kicked in hate, and ordered: "Get out!" But the maid was still motionless, and after waiting for a while, Yinren realized something, touched the maid with his hand, and the corpse exuded the smell of death, Yinren was afraid, this was the first time he killed a person with his own hands, and seeing others kill people is so different from doing it himself! Frightened, he shrunk under his desk and hugged himself tightly with both hands. The yellow line on the braid was made by Shi Mengxin, when Shi Mengxin gave it to him for the first time, Yinren accepted it with a smile, and when she was a little daughter, from childhood to adulthood, none of the things he received were not treasures, sixteen-year-old Shi Mengxin was delicate and quiet, quiet as a painting. Many years later, the yellow rope wrapped in his braid was woven by Shi Mengxin, and he always thought it was a reward for Shi Mengxin, rewarding her for doing what she had to do and being her crown princess. But what he didn't understand was that Shi Mengxin betrayed him, but he still took the rope she braided like a fool, Yinren began to untie his braids, pulled out the yellow rope hard, and threw it on the ground. There is something salty in the mouth......
Qingyue hesitated outside the prince's room, the princess kept whispering Yinren's name during her illness, Qingyue looked at the situation, I am afraid that the person who the princess really loves in her heart is still the prince, there must be some misunderstanding between them, now the princess is at the juncture of life and death, if Yinren can come to see her, maybe the princess may break through this ghost gate. But the prince - he has a deep misunderstanding, and he has a short temper, he has this head at this time, and he has to shed his skin if he doesn't die. Qingyue really hated herself, why was she so soft-hearted and couldn't learn from Kangxi and Fei Seyao, the crown princess was just her own pawn, a pawn, a pawn......
"I want to see the prince." Qingyue said to Han Bing.
"For the Crown Princess?" Han Bing asked.
"Yes."
"Is she worth it?"
"Value, she has a lot of use value."
"Jiang Qing, you still haven't changed, the court won't value such a thing as righteousness, and righteousness will harm you one day."
β¦β¦
"Will you help me, or won't you?"
β¦β¦
"You'll come to the hallway before you do."
In the corridor, Han Bing carried a water bowl, followed by two deacon's eunuchs. Qingyue followed, and Han Bing in front of him bent over with a pained expression.
"Ice girl, what's wrong with you?"
"My stomach hurts."
"What can I do?"
Qingyue knew Han Bing's intentions and hurriedly stepped forward to see Han Bing.
"You can sit here for a while." Qingyue shushed the cold and asked for warmth, and helped Hanbing to the porch chair.
"It's not okay to miss the prince's time." The other eunuch said anxiously.
"I don't need you to tell me! I know what you're thinking, and I'm afraid I'll hurt you. I don't believe it, in my capacity, the prince doesn't even give this little grace. β
The two eunuchs looked at each other.
"You, you send the water bowl for me." Han Bing pointed to Qingyue.
"Me?" Qingyue pretended to be surprised.
"That's you."
Qingyue carried the water bowl into the prince's room, while the two eunuchs remained outside the door.
As soon as she entered the door, Qingyue felt wrong, her heart jumped to her throat, and she walked cautiously. A corpse was lying on the west side of the study, Qingyue almost knocked over the water bowl in her hand, carefully put the water bowl down, and followed the abnormal sound to find the person she wanted to see - the prince, at this time he was holding a headband with his headband, and his eyes were already swollen from crying.
"Prince, what's wrong with you?"
"I, I didn't mean to."
"Will you come out first?"
"I want to see Mengxin, you let her come, okay?"
Qingyue sighed in her heart, what kind of couple are they?
"Prince, the princess is sick in bed, and I can't come to serve you now, so you can come out first, okay?"
"I'm not coming out, who are you?"
"I'm Qingyue." Qingyue secretly suspected that Yinren was insane.
"I don't know you, you let Meng Xin come and ask her to send the head rope. Go, or I'll kill you! β
Qingyue thought for a while and hummed a nursery rhyme softly. The prince listened for a while with a confused look in his eyes, threw himself into Qingyue's arms, and cried miserably: "Eniang, they all bullied me and wanted my throne, and Huang Ama wanted to kill me, Mengxin betrayed me." Qingyue patted Yinren's back helplessly, listening to him babbling about his childhood, listening to his grievances and fears, and listening to his helplessness and melancholy...... Qingyue doesn't know whether to believe in "the beginning of man, nature is good", or believe in the "theory of original sin", human beings are the most incredible animals in the world, and the human heart is the weirdest thing in the world.
Qingyue felt a hot pain on her face, woke up from her tiredness, and Yinren's face covered her face.
"How did you get into the study, what did you do when you came in, say!"
"Back to the master, I'll deliver the water bowl."
"Where's the ice?" Yinren put his hand on Qingyue's neck.
"Back to my master, she suddenly fell ill." After Qingyue finished speaking, she felt her neck tighten.
"Do you have a conspiracy?"
"Yes."
"What?" Yinren let go of his hand in surprise.
"Prince, the crown princess has been calling your name during her illness, she is so disrespectful, although it is not allowed in the court, and it is also disrespectful to you, but I think you have been married for many years, you should understand her thoughts." Qingyue settled down.
β¦β¦
"You're done?"
"Yes."
"What's in it for you?"
"There may be a board, and even a life."
"I'm unvirtuous, cruel?"
"No, you're just afraid of betrayal."
β¦β¦
"The eighth is amazing!"
"What does this have to do with the Eighth Master?"
"You dare to say you weren't sent by him?"
"It's not." - I guessed wrong, I invited Ying by myself, Qingyue thought silently.
"I don't believe it."
"Whether you believe it or not, I only do what I have to do."
"The eighth trusts you very much?"
"Yes."
"Do you dare to answer, am I so easy to bully?"
"Don't dare."
"Why do you answer that, you don't want to live?"
"I'm out of your house, and someone asks me about you, and I mean how are you? Or do you say it badly? β
"Clever tongue!"
"No, as you said, just to survive." Qingyue set her eyes on the corpse.
"In order to survive, you can be like the eunuch outside the door, you don't have to intercede for Shi Mengxin, and you can pretend not to see her." Yinren pointed to the corpse.
"Yes, I'll try to do that in the future."
"Work hard, you should say that there must be, there is no mercy in the court."
"You are merciful by nature, and perhaps so, you have done things that you should not have done, and that's why you are suffering."
β¦β¦
"Am I merciful?" The prince laughed self-deprecatingly, after his uncle died, his hands were stained with countless dirt and blood stains, without the protection of the prince's status, he would definitely not die well, and he didn't know what hell looked like.
"Nature is."
"Substance isn't, right?"
"I don't know how to answer."
β¦β¦
"Go down."
"Huh."
"Wait, what would you say when asked?"
"I'll say whatever the prince tells me to say."
"Nothing happened, you didn't see anything, you know?"
"Understood."
"Get the ice."
"Huh."
Qingyue went out of the room, the acacia flowers exuded an intoxicating fragrance, she smelled the fragrance of the flowers and felt extremely tired, fluttering for a long time, and didn't know what she had done, the closer she got to the goal, the more unbearable Qingyue became, constantly wandering in forgiveness and revenge, with two emotions that had been entangled with her, and her heart was about to be torn apart...... This step was not arranged by others, it was chosen by herself, and she dug up a resistance and buried herself!
"Are you alright?" Han Bing asked behind him.
"It's fine, it's just too tired." Qingyue shook her head tiredly.
"If you don't come out, I'll go in."
"Do you want to know why the eunuch on duty is so far away?"
β¦β¦
"Go back and rest."
"No, the prince didn't bother me, don't look at me like that."
"That's?"
"The prince personally killed a maidservant."
οΌοΌοΌοΌ
"He let you in."
"Thank you."
"It's me who should thank you."
"Qingyue, I don't think we will have to cross paths in the future."
"I think so too."
Soon, it was rumored in the mansion that Ziling hanged herself because of an ugly thing, and it was not uncommon for the slave to die in the mansion, but her death was like adding fuel to the fire, making people more and more convinced that the prince's mansion was unknown. Now everyone doesn't have to look at it differently, just waiting for the day when it falls apart.
The prince's abuse and killing of the maidservant did not hide it from Kangxi, and from Han Bing's mouth, Kangxi knew that Ziling was strangled by Yinren himself. He was shocked, he couldn't believe it, but the news from various channels made him have to believe it. His beloved son actually did such an inappropriate thing, he didn't understand what he was wrong, if Yinren was cursed by Yinren last time, what about this time? What excuse should he use to forgive him? Kangxi took a three-day break for this matter.
Kangxi took a break from the dynasty, Qingyue sneered, and she successfully achieved her goal: she used Hanbing to insert the first knife in Kangxi's heart.
The prince went to see the princess when Qingyue was on duty, and Qingyue silently retreated, closed the door, and guarded the door.
"Miss Qingyue, the prince is looking for you." What a cheap smile on his face.
"You go back first, I'll clean up and come."
"yes, dress up."
"Yes, father-in-law." Qingyue is helpless: I was remembered so quickly!
"The prince likes the smell of rose essential oil."
"Father-in-law Xie mentions."
"Just don't forget my kindness."
"Yes."
Qingyue arrived at the prince's bedroom, the prince was lying on the bed half-naked, Qingyue secretly sighed: He is not a gentleman!
"Come here." The prince commanded.
"The crown princess is still sick."
"I'll let you come!"
Kiyotsuki threw the white silk onto the beam.
"You don't follow me? Want to talk to the eighth master? β
"Nope."
"He's treating you like a pawn, and I'm not, stay with me, okay?" Yinren grabbed Qingyue from behind and said very gently.
"Prince, I just want to be a good servant, and when I reach the age to be able to leave the palace, I don't want to be trapped in the palace for the rest of my life."
β¦β¦
"And I only have to be trapped in the palace for the rest of my life." Yinren said sadly.
"Ordinary people also have the helplessness of ordinary people, such as the helplessness of power."
"You're talking about me!"
β¦β¦
"Then you talk to me."
"Okay." Qingyue remembered Yinxiang and said that he wanted to be his "trash can", but now he has become another person's "trash can".
Yinren talked about his first love, his uncle, Kangxi, and all his brothers, among all his troubles, the only one who did not have the princess, but Qingyue had a strong feeling, and what Yinren wanted to say the most was the princess.
"Why don't you speak?"
"What can I say, the twists and turns of the period, can I say as a slave?"
"Aren't you bold?"
"But I only have one life, even death, and I can only use it where it should be used."
"Where should I use it?"
"It's worth the effort."
"What is it worth your pay?"
"Let me go."
"Then what is the relationship between you and the thirteenth brother?"
"The other one who let me go."
"Then as long as I let you go, you will pay for me?"
"Yes, what I want most is: one day I will leave the court unshackled."
"It's strange that I never let go of beautiful women, but when I first saw you, I didn't think anything wrong about you at all."
"That's because I've become ugly."
"Don't seduce me, this joke isn't funny at all."
"Well, hehe, hahahaha." Qingyue thought about it, and for some reason thought it was funny. Yinren was infected by Qingyue, and the two laughed at each other, laughing happily and sincerely.
Yinzhen and Yinzhen received a tip report at the same time - Qingyue and the prince had a good time, and there was endless laughter in the middle of the night!
That night, heartache tormented two men.
Accompanied by Qingyue, Yinren went to see the princess again, and Yinren asked Qingyue bitterly: "Does she have me in her heart?" β
Qingyue nodded affirmatively: "Otherwise, the crown princess will not keep looking for you at the moment of life and death." β
"I don't understand." Yinren frowned.
"You come with me." Qingyue pulled Yinren.
Qingyue found out what the crown princess had received, a large box full of them.
"What is this?" Yinren asked.
"Don't you remember?" Qingyue looked at Yinren with pity.
"I remembered that I gave Mengxin these things in private. This hairpin was given to her when she was newly married, this is the scarf I put on for her during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and this is the chess piece when I played tricks on her...... I didn't expect her to keep these. β
"Look at this lantern, when it stops, it's three butterflies, and when it turns, it becomes a butterfly that can fly." Saying that, Qingyue turned the palace lamp, and the butterflies began to fly. Qingyue continued, "Do you say it's one or three?" β
"You mean to say that we will be blinded by our own eyes and lose sight of the truth?"
"The prince is too smart!"
"Flattering me?"
"No, it's a fact."
"Qingyue, thank you."
"Prince, don't dare to be a slave."
"Will Mengxin get better?"
"After you came once, although the crown princess is still in a coma, her fever has subsided, if you can, you can accompany her a little longer, and when she wakes up, you can ask the crown princess in person, and you can know the answer you want to know."
"I've never been a good husband, I can't deny it, I'm."
"Life is only a few short decades, and if you miss the first ten years, don't miss the rest again."
"Qingyue, are you okay to be my sister? I've always wanted to have a younger sister. β
"What is your identity, and what is my identity, slaves and maids dare not climb high."
β¦β¦
"It's okay, if something happens to me, it's not good to implicate you. In my heart, you will be my own sister. β
"The Princeβ"
"Don't say anything more!" The crown prince interrupted Qingyue. "We guard Mengxin."
"Yes." Qingyue sighed secretly, what kind of fate is this? Evil karma, good karma!
