Chapter 149: Red Words
The Empress Dowager's tone was sincere.
Ah Zi met her sincere gaze, and quickly withdrew her gaze, staring at her hands tightly clenched in front of her, not knowing how to respond.
After a scene in the main hall of Fang Cai, the Empress Dowager didn't know Ah Zi's thoughts.
She no longer insisted, only sighed and said: "My words have come to this, only you can decide how to go in the future, others have no right to interfere, and I naturally can't control you anything." It's just that since I have already warned you about the things behind the 'Yuanmen Incident', people's hearts are terrifying, and if you leave the West in the future, whether you are going north or east, you must pay more attention, and you must not trust some people or things. The more friendly people are on the surface, the more suspicious they are. ”
The Empress Dowager's admonition was very vague, but Ah Zi understood that these must be the heartfelt words of her old man after experiencing the betrayal of the Dongyuan royal family.
The Empress Dowager looked at Ah Zi's obedient appearance of bowing her head and saluting, and her eyes were slightly gloomy.
He is already old, and he can only be in this corner of the Sacred Heart Hall all the year round, but he has never been so full of powerlessness as at this moment - he knows the danger of the Dongyuan royal family, he clearly remembers the tragic fate of the witch who used to be in Tokyo, and he is extremely sure that if Ah Zi goes with Tang Yinbrown this time, what will wait for her, but he can't do anything, he can't stop anything.
"Ancestor ......"
Ah Zi saw that the Empress Dowager's gaze became blurred again, and she watched her thoughts sink deeper and deeper. I had to call cautiously to the side.
The Empress Dowager turned her eyes to look at her and said softly: "If you have any questions, you can ask." ”
Ah Zi once again blessed the Empress Dowager and said, "Dongyuan Prince Zhu Huiyuan is the elder brother of your mother's compatriots, you should have grown up together since childhood, and the relationship is excellent, right?" Even if he later has his own mansion, you have become a home, and you have your own residence, but you should still move around each other very closely. Is that right? ”
The Empress Dowager nodded. Encourage Ah Zi to ask with his eyes.
"In that case, you should also know the group of witches harbored in the crown prince Zhu Huiyuan's house, right?"
Hearing this, the Empress Dowager looked at Ah Zi's expectant gaze. Naturally, she understood what she was going to ask. His expression also became complicated.
Every move of the old man came to mind like a marquee—the appearance of her standing in the snow in the middle of the ramel in a crimson cloak. It's a little similar to the girl in front of you.
"It's more than acquaintance," the Empress Dowager said slowly, "when I was ten years old. The royal brother didn't know where to bring back a shocking little girl, whose name is Hongyan, and I can be said to be familiar at first sight. You know, I am a princess, except for a few brothers since I was a child, I didn't have too many playmates of the same age, and the appearance of red words undoubtedly made my originally boring and extravagant court life interesting. We eat in one place, use in one place, I treat her like family, I have never looked down on her because of my status, she treats me like an ordinary sister, and she will not deliberately welcome or grovel because I am a princess.
"At that time, the imperial brother never confided a few words about Hongyan's life experience, and the queen mother was also secretive about her origin, and Hongyan herself kept silent about it.
"Actually, after all these years of getting along with Hongyan Chaoxi, I just think that she is an extremely ordinary girl, except that she has a heart that is more kind and compassionate than most royal relatives, and is no different from ordinary people.
"Of course, she was born with an extremely light body and walked like a fly. He is also very proficient in music. I remember a few times, she played the piano by the lake, I sat on the side and listened quietly, the sound of the piano was melodious and tactful, my thoughts seemed to fly up to the sky with the sound of the piano, and I couldn't calm down for a long time, when the piano stopped, I opened my eyes, only to find that the surroundings had been surrounded by birds and beasts at some point, and those little creatures seemed to resonate because of her piano sound, and they all looked at Hongyan and reveled in it......"
The Empress Dowager spoke attentively, but Ah Zi was shocked by this statement.
Dressed in a red robe, standing in the snow, he has a shocking appearance......
Where did she seem to have seen such a look......
It's the portrait of the Sacred Heart Niangniang on the wall of the Master's study in the Medicine Immortal Valley!
Ah Zi only felt breathless, she covered her chest with her hands and took a few deep breaths.
But that day, when the master was playing the piano alone in the Qinxin Pavilion, the words came out of her mind one by one, beating her heart one by one.
"My piano was taught by your aunt", "Her piano skills are not only amazing, but she has reached a state of superbness", "At that time, the world was not as chaotic as it is now, and your aunt often carried the piano to play among the cliffs. When the harp sounded, the birds and finches in the vicinity circled over her, and the wild beasts stopped fighting, and came one after another, snuggled up at her feet, and listened to her play the harp......
Why is her aunt so similar to the red words in the mouth of the Queen Mother at this time?
If the red words that the Empress Dowager said at this time are the witches harbored in the family of the crown prince Zhu Huiyuan, then what is the relationship between Master Liu Siqi and witches? Why does the portrait of the Sacred Heart Lady hanging in Master's study look like the witch described by the Empress Dowager? The portrait is painted in the appearance of that aunt, right? Then why would the master tell a sister who is very likely to have the identity of a witch?
The more Ah Zi thought about it, the more he felt tightness in his chest.
The Empress Dowager saw that Ah Zi's face gradually lost blood in the middle of speaking, so she hurriedly stopped and asked with concern.
Ah Zi reined in his thoughts at this time, and smiled at the Empress Dowager: "Let the ancestor bother, I don't have anything." Xu didn't have a good rest last night, and when I came over today, I was in time, and I didn't have time to eat anything......"
Hearing Ah Zi say this, the Empress Dowager interrupted her and said, "It's just to say goodbye, how can you be so anxious that you don't even need breakfast?" You children, always thinking that you are young and strong, will squander them at will, and do not pay any attention to health. ”
While muttering, he shouted to the door to bring some food from the imperial dining room.
Empress Shen, who had been guarding the door of the inner room, was still worried that the Empress Dowager would be angry because Ah Zi was unwilling to guarantee in front of her, for fear of hurting the harmony between the two, and when Ah Zi left, she broke up unhappily, but now she heard the voice of the ancestor ordering the preparation of food, and hurriedly called Aunt Chang to go to Zhang Luo to eat, and she entered the inner room with a smile, and saw that the Empress Dowager's expression was indeed much more relaxed than before, although Ah Zi's face was not very good, she was also smiling, and her hanging heart was put down.
