Chapter 7: Past Lives

Who knew that when she arrived at the rockery next to the Taiye Pool, she didn't see Ke Min, she felt bad in her heart, and was about to turn around, but she was knocked down from behind and pressed into the water.

She struggled desperately, slapping the water, causing high waves, and the hand that grabbed her hair loosened, but before she could break free, it pressed her deeper into the water.

She grabbed the man with her backhand, but she only touched half of the soaked sleeves and a tuft of long hair, who was it, was it the palace maid?

No, she has practiced two-handed swords since she was a child, and she turns around and moves quite quickly, and her strength is not small, but this person, she has already used her strength to eat, how can she still not break free.

By the way, what about Du Ruo, the palace maid beside her, Fang was still following her, and now that she was attacked, she didn't hear her scream.

Doubts flashed through her mind, and she never gave up struggling until her strength ran out, and she choked on a lot of water in her lungs and couldn't breathe anymore.

In the end, she used her last breath to hit the Taihu Lake rocks on the shore, her eyes were already pierced by the water, and she couldn't see anything around her clearly, so she could only rely on her intuition.

For a moment, it seemed like a quarter of an hour, and there was a hint of anticipation in anger and despair.

The left temple finally touched something hard, maybe a jagged stone, and since she couldn't see, she didn't slow down at all, and the pain of her temple bursting made her feel like her whole body was numb, and the pain of suffocation in her lungs was unbearable.

The man who grabbed her hair didn't seem to expect her to do so, and suddenly let go of his hand, and her body, which had no strength left, collapsed into the water.

Fingertips brushing the man's long, somewhat stiff hair was the last feeling in her last life.

She must be bleeding from her head now, I don't know if she has a broken phase.

It's good, it's great.

Her body sank to the shallow bottom, and a smile tugged at the corners of her mouth.

Imperial Grandmother, did you see that? I didn't stumble into the water, someone tried to harm me.

Someone wants to harm me, who wants to harm me!

I'm already so low-key, I'm just an orphan girl, why don't you let me go!

Resentment once again filled the limbs and bones, and I only felt that my body was burning unbearably.

When the resentment seemed to break out of the body, there was a momentary blank in my mind, and the scene in front of me peeled off piece by piece, revealing the original tranquil blue gauze cupboard.

The sash with 10,000 flowing water patterns and the hanging of the gourd pattern are familiar and unfamiliar.

That's not right.

Isn't she already dead?

Why do you still feel it?

Suddenly, my body was cold again, and I wanted to pull the quilt to cover it, but I couldn't catch it.

I don't know how many times I repeated this, and the buzzing in my head gradually calmed down.

Gently exhaling a breath of turbidity, Xiusun propped up her heavy eyelids, and what caught her eyes was the anxious and haggard faces of Ruan and the old lady.

"Grandmother, mother......" she called softly, naturally.

The voice was like a barbed weed across her throat, hoarse and ethereal, what was wrong with her?

"Daughter...... Ruan Shi cried and hugged her in his arms, "If you have three long and two short, you won't live for your mother." ”

Grandmother also rubbed her wrinkled eyes with a handkerchief.

That's right, the county lord of Anning is dead, she is Chu Xiusun now, why can't she always remember?

"Grandmother, mother......"

Chu Xiusun stretched out her arms and hugged the wife and the old lady, and cried between the two shoulders that were not too great, "Grandmother, mother, I have a nightmare, I'm so scared." ”

The old lady hurriedly patted Xiusun on the back and coaxed her, "Sun'er doesn't cry, grandmother and your mother are here, don't be afraid of anything." ”

Ruan Shi finally calmed down, hugged Xiusun and comforted him softly.

Later, Chu Xiusun learned that she had a wind chill, and she began to have a fever in the middle of the night, and she kept talking nonsense, and the fever subsided at dawn.

Amitabha, Xiusun sighed secretly, but stood barefoot by the door for a while, this is cold, her small body, a long way to go.

In the next few days, Xiusun gradually recovered, and the old lady and Ruan were afraid that she would catch a cold again, so they detained her in the house and did not allow her to go out, and specially sent two big maids to stare at her with big eyes, and did not allow her to get out of bed until the doctor said that her condition had improved and that she could go outside when the weather was good.

Helplessly, every morning when I opened my eyes, it was always rainy outside the window, and even the eaves corridor was ****, and Xiusun had to lie on the Luohan bed most of the time and look at the dense rain outside the window through the gauze drawer.

Since the magpie was punished last time, he did not dare to dictate to her anymore, but sat quietly beside her and played with the rope by himself, and the bright red velvet rope flew and intertwined between the white and tender short fingers, and became the shape of an acacia flower for a while, and a dill for a while.

Xiusun glanced at it occasionally, then turned back to look out the window.

A nightmare a few days ago, she finally remembered the moment when she was dying in her previous life.

It was a palace maid with great strength who pressed her into the water and drowned, and the person who asked her to go to the Taiye Pool rockery was Ke Min, but Ke Min did not appear there, as for whether Ke Min talked to her that night, I am afraid that only by asking Ke Min himself can we know.

And Du Ruo, why did he disappear at the critical moment, or was he already killed?

But if she wants to "fall into the water", Du Ruo must be well, otherwise the palace maid who is close to her will also disappear, not that there is something strange here.

Thinking of this, Xiusun suddenly felt that her behavior of breaking her head at the last moment was quite stupid, what happened, just ask Du Ruo, if Du Ruo is gone, there must be a problem.

Unless, Du Ruo has a problem of his own.

Thinking of that delicate and lovely little face, always by her side with a gentle smile, Xiusun hesitated again, how could it be, they grew up together since childhood.

There is also the imperial grandmother, her old man's situation is already very difficult, if she just fell into the water, the imperial grandmother is sad for a while at most, and she was killed by someone, then things are complicated, the imperial grandmother and the current emperor are not their own mother and son after all, the relationship has become more and more delicate in recent years, and she is simply causing trouble to the imperial grandmother.

The emperor is the master of the first emperor and passed to the name of the emperor's grandmother.

And the imperial grandmother has only one biological son, that is, Xiusun's father in his previous life, King Jin, when he ascended the throne today, King Jin was only six years old.

King Jin has been in poor health since he was a child, and his grandmother married her niece to the current emperor, but she married the daughter of the prosperous Liangguo Mansion as a concubine to King Jin, which is her mother Ke Shi in her previous life.

The King of Jin died when she was two or three years old, and before she even had time to become a vassal, the Queen Mother left the mother and daughter of the Princess of Jin in the capital.

Within two years, Princess Jin also went, and the Queen Mother took pity on her for losing her parents at a young age, so she took her into the palace to raise her, and she lived in Cining Palace for more than ten years.

Everything is good today, but the suspicion is too great, and after ascending the throne, the military power of the Xu family of the Duke of Wei has been continuously reduced, and the prince of Wei has died inexplicably in a battle.

Grief-stricken by the loss of his last son, the elderly Duke of Wei resigned from all his errands and devoted himself to raising his only grandson behind closed doors.

And there are still many doubts about the Mid-Autumn Festival falling into the water, if the emperor sees her unpleasantly, and wants to get rid of her together, there have been opportunities for more than ten years, and the emperor selected the Son of Heaven even if the amount of gas is narrow, she will not be uncalculated, she is an orphan girl, where is there any threat, where do you need to spend time to deal with, but should be treated kindly, so as to show the emperor's grace.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiusun sighed faintly, this matter has nothing to do with the emperor, and the emperor's grandmother must not misunderstand the emperor. I hope that my tragic death will not make the imperial grandmother lose her mind.

She couldn't sit still any longer, turned over and climbed down the Arhat bed, walked through the hall, went around to the backyard, knelt in front of the statue of the Bodhisattva placed by the old lady, and recited the Heart Sutra a hundred times, praying for the Buddha to bless the imperial grandmother with safety.

Xiusun turned to see the old lady standing behind her, looking at her lovingly.

She suddenly felt very empty-hearted, and this grandmother also loved her wholeheartedly.

But not everything can be confessed, so I had to say vaguely, "Grandmother, these days, you and your mother are scared, it's all Sun'er's fault, you must walk more and bask in the sun in the future." ”

The old lady bowed her head in relief and hugged her in her arms, "Okay, Sun'er has to talk to it, and when the weather is good in a few days, grandmother will lead you to Zhuangzi to take a hot spring." ”

Xiusun buried her little head in the old lady's arms and nodded vigorously, her eyes were a little moist, and her nose was sour.

She is already Chu Xiusun, and the fourth room of the Chu family in Pukou is just a side branch of the inconspicuous official family, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to return to the palace to see the imperial grandmother in her life.

And this grandmother, who treats her pet and loves, is the person in front of her who should be honored well.

With mixed feelings in her heart, Xiusun closed her eyes and said silently, "Grandmother, imperial grandmother, I will definitely take care of myself, and you all have to be well, Kangkang Taitai, live a long life." ”

During this time, Xiusun's illness came and went, and her grandmother and mother often took care of her together, and the grievances for many years were eased.

That night, Xiusun nestled in her mother's arms and said with a smile, "Mother, give me a younger brother." ”

Ruan Shi was stunned for a moment, stopped fanning his arm, and asked softly, "Why do you suddenly want a younger brother?" ”

Xiusun's eyes rolled and said, "Grandma Sun in the outer courtyard brought a letter to the little magpie, saying that her mother added a little brother to her the day before yesterday, and the little magpie was happy, saying that the family no longer has to worry about the fact that no one will do farm work when Daddy is old." ”

Amitabha, the younger brother of the little magpie came at the right time, and Xiusun was worried about how to persuade the Ruan family.

When Nguyen heard this, he fell silent, apparently lost in thought.

Xiusun pursed her lips and retracted her head into her mother's arms, isn't she a little selfish in doing this?

She could see that although Ruan's said that although it was not happy to find her aunt every once in a while, she never had any jealousy, but she was really disgusted, and she was already very disappointed in Chu Baye.
