Chapter 137: Two Suspicions (2)
She followed Gong Ling all the way to a secluded and elegant courtyard, the small courtyard was simply furnished, and the word 'Plum Garden' was clearly engraved on the old lintel. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
On the periphery of the plum garden, there is a small lotus pond, which is now in the depths of winter, and the lotus leaves have long since withered, and the water surface is also frozen, reflecting the light blue sky.
Opposite to the word plum garden, there are a few cold plums inside and outside the garden, and the red plums that bloom in the snow reflect the snow, and the dark fragrance floats, but the cold arrogance of the jade bones and ice muscles is close to the hearts of the people, and people can't help but start to guess what kind of demeanor the owner of these plum blossoms should be.
This place is different from the rest of the Imperial City, although it is located in the inner courtyard of the Imperial Palace, it is very simple and simple, but it does not lose its elegance. At least for Duan Chengcheng, this place is much closer than those gorgeous palaces inlaid with gold and jade.
There was a pile of residual snow in front of the steps, and when Duan Chengcheng walked into the living room in the garden, he found that there was no one in the room, only a wonderful pen Danqing hanging on the wall, and on the painting, it was a woman in white with cold eyebrows. On the table next to it was a long box, which, judging by its length and width, was supposed to be a long sword.
In addition, in this elegant little house, except for the woman in the painting, there is only a lonely plum blossom in the courtyard, which is empty, and there is not even one more object.
Gong Ling just looked at the woman in the painting from afar, without saying a word, silent as if she was looking at herself in another world.
A sense of gloom crossed Duan Chengcheng's heart, she didn't plan to ask anything, she was not a short-sighted person, and she could guess this situation without asking. But to her surprise, doesn't he like men? Do you like women? is still a woman who seems to have practiced martial arts with a sword......
"Her name is Xingyue, and she was the owner of this plum garden." Without waiting for her to ask anything, Gong Ling opened her mouth in advance, which was regarded as solving her doubts.
"Is she already ......" Duan Tingcheng wanted to speak and stopped, after all, in front of the emperor, the word death is not very suitable to say.
"She died five years ago, and I killed her." Gong Ling took over Duan Chengcheng's words and unabashedly said the past that was heart-wrenching.
She raised her eyebrows, she didn't expect him to say it so simply.
But she was very curious, this woman looked like a woman who lived by swords all the year round, and she was not used to living in the palace to live in such a poor place, in what capacity did she enter the palace, and how did she die?
But these questions are still pressed in her heart, as a guard, she only needs to perform her duties, and other things that should not be asked should not be asked, and it will not benefit her to ask too many questions.
"Actually, yesterday was her death day, Lan Ke came to stop me early in the morning, I had to come to see her again today......" He looked at the woman in the painting, his eyes never looked away for a moment, after five years, there was still a little nostalgia in his eyes.
Duan Qingcheng nodded clearly, and she said: "The county lord also did this for your own good, the deceased has passed away, and cherishing the living in front of you is the most important thing." ”
"Of course I know what she wants." Gong Ling said, a faint smile hidden a little helpless, "But if you want to let go of everything in the past, how can it be as easy as you imagined." ”
Duan Qingcheng leaned lightly against the door, listening to what Gong Ling said, and looking at the plum blossoms blooming in the snow, this feeling inexplicably made her heart sour.
"The dead are the most painful when they die, but they suffer the living, how can some things be forgotten if you forget them......" She felt it, and the helplessness in Gong Ling's words also deeply touched her heartstrings, and there was no doubt that she remembered Wuhuan again.
Hearing this, Gong Ling did not answer her words.
He suddenly turned around to look at her, only to see a depressed figure in white gently leaning against the door, and he couldn't see Duan Qing's true appearance at this time.
Gong Ling smiled wordlessly, I don't know if these words were meant to be heard by him, or by herself? It seems that the story behind this person is really meaningful.
He walked out the door, stood beside her, looked at the plum blossoms in the garden and chuckled, "I have been thinking since the first time I saw you, what would you look like if you were a woman......
"The villain admits that there are a lot of celebrities around him, but he has no bad habits, please don't make fun of the villain, the emperor." She furrowed her eyebrows slightly, consciously two steps away from him, this person's words have always made her disorganized, and it is really difficult to figure out his true intentions, so she has to pretend not to know why.
"I'm just assuming, you're in a hurry with me." Seeing her react so much, Gong Ling couldn't help but be happy.
It was really wrong to say that she was the same as Qi Yu, she was much more interesting than Qi Yu.
Coming from the plum garden to the front hall of the palace, the guard Qiyu waited there for a long time, it seemed that he came to report the matter, Gongling and Qiyu entered the palace and retreated the people who accompanied them left and right, including Duan Chengcheng.
Seeing that there was nothing to do with herself, Duan Qingcheng was also relieved, and if she was so guessed and tested by this emperor, she would inevitably show her feet.
She took advantage of the fact that Gong Ling and Qi Yu entered the hall to discuss, and turned around and left silently, with a somewhat hurried pace.
She plans to go back to the Shenji Camp again, I don't know if Jiang Xiaolou is still in the Shenji Camp, but at the latest, tonight, she must get the relics as soon as possible......
Jiang Xiaolou crossed his arms in front of his chest, leaning against the shadow of the wall to watch her walk forward anxiously and hurriedly, "Yo, I said this adult, where are you going in such a hurry?" ”
Duan Chengcheng stopped his steps, looking for the sound of talking, and just saw a figure standing in the shadow against the light, it was not Jiang Xiaolou.
When she saw this Jiang Xiaolou showing up so boldly, she couldn't help but feel anxious for a while.
She stepped forward and grabbed him by the skirt of his clothes, and in the blink of an eye, she forcibly dragged him to another hidden place, "You are really bold! Even those who dare to run around in the palace in the blue sky and daylight. ”
"I said, how did you become afraid of wolves and tigers when you entered the palace?" Jiang Xiaolou was very unhappy and slapped her hand holding the placket of her clothes, "How can my skills be so bad, the people here want to arrest me several years earlier......"
Duan Qingcheng ignored the unhappiness on his face and snorted coldly, "You're embarrassed to brag about yourself, the fire you put last night almost burned on my body today!" ”
"Huh?" Jiang Xiaolou looked surprised, "No, are you suspicious by them?" ”
"Then what do you think......" She looked at him coldly, and Jiang Xiaolou's heart trembled.
"What's that, Allure, I'm not guilty of not knowing," he chuckled at her twice, "I don't know where it can't burn." ”
"Now, we can't wait any longer, or do it tonight." She said.
"Just do it," he agreed, and at the same time looked at her suspiciously, "But what if the little emperor stays in Huaqing Hall tonight and doesn't leave?" ”
"I'll try to get people to get him away, and as for the guards around him, I'll have to act when the time comes." She said.
"Alright then, I'll listen to you." Jiang Xiaolou shrugged helplessly, anyway, he was a person who assisted from the side, just act, she had the final say, anyway, he didn't have any opinions. (To be continued.) )
