Chapter 10: The Night Is Silent
Weiyang Palace, in front of the Jiaofang Palace. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although the April sun is warm, the sunlight shining into the Jiaofang Hall at this time is as cold as water. The chaotic and miserable white light shook Wang Zhengjun's heart and stinged. She didn't know if she could hope to save Miaoling today. But no matter what, she always had to try. Because, she would never believe that Miao Ling would do such a thing.
When Wang Zhengjun approached the Jiaofang Palace, his eyes were sad and determined. She walked to the side of the gatekeeper Gong'e, and said with a gentle face: "I am Wang Zhengjun, the son of the family in the court, and I want to see the queen mother when I have something." Please let me know! ”
Who knew that Gong'e looked solemn and said sharply: "It's just a little family member in the court, and he also wants to see the queen mother?" Do you think that whoever wants to enter this Jiaofang Palace can enter? Don't leave yet! ”
Wang Zhengjun reluctantly took out the emerald green bracelet from his waist and stuffed it into Na Gong'e's hand, "Please inform me!" I have something urgent to tell you, I must see the queen mother today! ”
Gong E saw that this bracelet was still worth some money, so she reluctantly said, "Then I'll try it!" ”
A hint of joy flowed in Wang Zhengjun's eyes, "I'm sorry for you!" ”
In the Jiaofang Palace, the pale pink color circulating on the wall makes the hall peaceful.
Gong E entered the hall and bowed, "Aunt Sang, a family member named Wang Zhengjun outside begged to see the queen!" ”
A palace lady in her thirties, who was about thirty years old, walked out from behind the thin curtain of golden flowers and said with some reproach: "Didn't I tell you that the queen mother was in a hurry to recuperate because of His Royal Highness the Prince's affairs, and no one was seen. If you don't hurry out, if you disturb the queen's rest, how can you and I be able to afford it? ”
"Yes, Auntie!" Seeing the situation, Gong E didn't dare to say anything more, so she had to bow down and withdraw.
"You'd better go back, no one is the queen today!" Gong E walked out and looked at Wang Zhengjun's eyes and returned to the solemnity just now.
"Can you tell the queen that I have something important to tell you?" Wang Zhengjun asked anxiously.
"It's all said, it's all said!" Gong E was a little impatient, "But the queen is in poor health, and no one can see her!" You'd better go back! ”
Wang Zhengjun's heart trembled suddenly, and he immediately knelt down.
Gong E was puzzled, "What are you doing here?" ”
"I'm going to kneel until the queen is willing to see me!" Wang Zhengjun, who has always been gentle, had a sharp and stubborn voice at this time. Because as long as there is a little bit of time, she has to try her best.
"The queen mother can't say that she can't see you, what's the use of you kneeling here?" Gong E looked at Wang Zhengjun's firm eyes, knowing that no matter how much she persuaded her, it was useless, so she had to shake her head and give up, "Kneel if you like, no one here feels sorry for you!" ”
"The slave Wang Zhengjun has something to ask to see the queen!"
"The slave Wang Zhengjun has something to ask to see the queen!"
……
Wang Zhengjun's words over and over again, with firm sincerity, resounded in front of the Jiaofang Palace.
The clear sky gradually darkened, and the flowers and trees on the left and right sides showed a dark light.
Xiao Yu looked left and right, and sneaked in front of Wang Zhengjun when no one was around, "Zhengjun, go back, the matter has come to this, so you can only accept it." ”
"No, it's still midnight." Wang Zhengjun stubbornly spit out these words.
"Zhengjun, actually, you have no evidence to prove that this matter was not done by Miaoling, so why should you be so persistent?" The worry and sorrow in Xiao Yu's eyes gradually revealed in the dark night, "You listen to my advice, let's go back!"
"Because I believe in Miaoling!" Wang Zhengjun was still firm, and the tenacious light in his eyes made people feel a little shocked, "I can also guarantee with my life, she will never do such a thing." ”
"Actually, I expected you to be like this." Xiao Yu looked at Wang Zhengjun with pity, tenderness accumulated deep in his eyes. He handed the snack he had prepared earlier to Wang Zhengjun, and then brushed aside the messy hair on Wang Zhengjun's forehead, and said lovingly: "While there is no one here, you can eat quickly, don't ruin your own body because of this!" ”
Wang Zhengjun pushed away the dim sum and replied indifferently: "If I eat, how can it seem that I am sincere?" Xiao Yu, go back quickly, don't care about me anymore! ”
Seeing that Xiao Yu couldn't bear to leave for a long time, Wang Zhengjun continued, "Go back!" ”
Xiao Yu sighed lightly after hearing this, and then left quickly.
On weekdays, a strong wind blew in the sky, blowing Wang Zhengjun's hair into a mess. After a thunderclap, it rained heavily. In spring, there is a lot of rain, but tonight the rain is very strange. It was like standing on the edge of a dark rain cliff, and there was a black oppression in front of you, and the world suddenly became blurred, and the world was full of emptiness and coldness with no edge in sight.
The rain was too heavy, and after only a while, Wang Zhengjun's clothes were soaked. Her face turned pale, and her standing body trembled unconsciously.
"Zhengjun!" Yun Luo hurried over with an umbrella and covered Wang Zhengjun, who was already soaking wet.
"Yunluo, what are you doing here? Hurry back! Wang Zhengjun, who was already on the verge of collapse, reluctantly squeezed out this sentence. Although it was shouting, it was shallow and lifeless.
Yun Luo's face was sad, and she said slowly: "Zhengjun, go back, Miaoling has been killed by the cane!" ”
"The rod is dead!" Wang Zhengjun bit these three words tightly in his mouth, and his heart suddenly turned up with a tingling pain. It was as if the sky, which had taken a lot of effort to hold up, suddenly collapsed. The corners of Wang Zhengjun's mouth were chapped, and the tears that had been hidden in her sad eyes for a long time finally slowly slid down from the corners of her eyes. When it fell into the rippling rain, it was so silent that there was no sound. Just like her heart at this moment, suddenly it became empty, and the world in her eyes blurred into a silent pitch black.
"The rod is dead!" Wang Zhengjun silently recited again, and suddenly fell to the ground with a "pop", and the ground suddenly shook a few splashes.
"Ruler! Ruler! Yunluo anxiously called out to Wang Zhengjun, but she couldn't hear it anymore, and in her closed eyes, the world was boundless black spreading.
On a night without moonlight, everything is silent. The deep palace wall is not clear to see the edge. The black shadows swaying around, like hideous-looking monsters, make people shudder. The room was dark, and Wang Zhengjun felt creepy as soon as he stepped in, and the gloomy and strange aura was like a cold wind, which could penetrate every pore of her.
"Zhengjun, save me!"
"Zhengjun, save me!"
……
Miao Ling's voice was far and deep, so bleak that she couldn't breathe.
Wang Zhengjun followed the sound and walked in, and saw Miaoling, who was covered in blood, firmly entrapped by hard chains. The bright red color was particularly dazzling in the silent night, and Miao Ling desperately crawled towards Zhengjun, as if she had exhausted all the strength of her body, and she could hear the bone joints of her palms "creaking".
I saw that Miaoling desperately shouted: "Zhengjun, save me!" Save me! ”
Unkempt hair covered Miaoling's dirty face, and vague scars carved deep marks on her haggard pale face like a lizard. She was extremely weak and in pain, like a moth struggling in a sea of fire, trying to spread her wings and fly, but she could not escape with all her might. She just shouted over and over again, "Zhengjun, save me!" ”
"Miaoling! Miao Ling! Wang Zhengjun, who was asleep, was full of uneasiness, and sweat oozed from his forehead. Yunluo picked up the towel and gently wiped it over and over again.
"Miao Ling!" Wang Zhengjun suddenly woke up from her dream, and the bright light instantly fell on her pale face.
"Zhengjun, you've finally woken up!" A hint of joy crossed Yun Luo's eyes, and she slowly helped Wang Zhengjun up, "You've been asleep for two days!" ”
"Two days?" Wang Zhengjun's faint face was full of surprise, and then she hugged Yunluo crying, "Yunluo, Miaoling, she is gone, forever and forever!" I can't save her! I can't save her! ”
"Zhengjun, don't be sad anymore! You've done your best. Yun Luo patted Zhengjun's shoulder, "Although you didn't save Miaoling, the queen mother asked the emperor to forgive her family because of your sincerity." This is a great gift for Miaoling. ”
"But I couldn't save Miaoling in the end." Wang Zhengjun burst into tears, "What should we do, how can we survive in this palace?" ”
"Zhengjun, the matter is over, don't think about it anymore." Yun Luo wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and took a bowl of clear porridge from the table next to the bed, "This is the porridge I just boiled, you haven't eaten for two days, and now it's time to eat something." You try it! ”
"I'm not hungry!" Wang Zhengjun hung his head and pushed over, worried. Just as he was thinking, a small emerald green glass bottle was placed in front of Wang Zhengjun's eyes. Wang Zhengjun looked at it, "What is this?" ”
"This is the medicine that Xiao Yu sent over early the morning the day before yesterday, he said that you have knelt for too long and been drenched in the rain, in order to avoid falling into the root of the disease, this medicine, it is best to take it on time." A smile crossed the corner of Yun Luo's mouth, "Do you have an appetite to eat now?" ”
"Yunluo, it's all this time, you're still joking with me!" Wang Zhengjun had a sad face, and reluctantly showed a shallow smile.
"Masa-kun, I'm not joking with you! What I'm saying is true. Yun Luo looked at Wang Zhengjun with a smile, "I see that Xiao Yu is good to you, so what do you think in your heart?" ”
What do you think? What could she think? After entering the palace, can she still do everything by herself, not to mention that she has no intention. Wang Zhengjun lowered his head and hid his heart full of thoughts. Seeing this, Yun Luo had no choice but to turn around and say, "Okay, okay, I'll go to work, I won't make fun of you!" ”
