Chapter 258: Falling Fragrance Mountain Residence
I still remember everything that happened last night, and I can't forget that Mrs. Li died in front of my eyes. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
When the arrow grazed my shoulder and plunged straight into Lady Leigh's chest, I just didn't expect it to end so quickly. While she was holding me hostage, I really hoped that she could take me out of the palace, even if there was nowhere to go outside, I wanted to get out of here.
There was still some pain in the cut on my shoulder, and I couldn't help but reach for it.
"Madame, are you alright? Otherwise......" Xia Zhen followed alongside and kept an eye on my every move.
I waved her shut up and carried me up the hill. The palace on the top of the hill has been completed and is still being sorted out, the chariot stopped in front of the palace, Xia Zhen helped me to walk down, and I walked towards the palace.
"It's okay," everything in this palace exceeded my expectations, except for the dirty ground everywhere just after it was completed, I turned around and called Xia Zhen, "You go and arrange for someone to clean up here, and then go back and get my own things." ”
"Madam, you ......" Xia Zhen suddenly understood what I wanted to do, so he was shocked. But this place has just been completed, and the small details are still being repaired, and it is still a little early to move in. ”
"It's okay, let's live first, and get it slowly." I shook off Xia Zhen's hand and walked outside the hall alone, and there was a towering tree diagonally opposite the main entrance of this palace, as if I had seen it somewhere before, two vines hanging from the tree, and a swing hanging, exactly like the one I was in Shaoshan.
I dragged my weak body to the bottom of the tree and sat on the swing.
Xia Zhen also wanted to come forward to persuade me, but I watched her approach, closed her eyes, and leaned against the vine. She didn't come at all, and stood there for a long time before turning around and walking down the hill.
It was only after I knew she was gone that I opened my eyes again.
In fact, if you want to confirm that what Mrs. Li said in my ear last night is true, the only way now is to find Gong Hui. But this Yu Palace is so big, if Yuan He intends to hide someone, where can I find him.
If Mrs. Leigh is true, what will happen to me? Knowing that all this is just Wonhyuk's conspiracy, can I still be unsuspecting of him like before? He'd heard what Nagashay said when he was arguing with me before, and I don't know if he's going to deal with me next.
I thought a lot to myself, but I didn't notice that someone was coming. By the time I looked up against the vines, Won Hyuk was already standing in front of me.
I could feel the instinctive reaction of my body at this moment, fear, resistance. But I subconsciously didn't let myself show this emotion, I was just worried that if I let Yuan Hyuk notice it too early, I am afraid that the next situation will be even more unfavorable to me. Here I was completely isolated, completely trapped and helpless, just like Mrs. Leigh at that time, and I was luckier than her, at least I was in a better position than her.
"You're moving back here?" Yuan He saw me look up, and took a few steps closer, I grabbed the vine in my hand, and watched him walk up to me and half-squat, he had no shelf, and was lower than me, "What's wrong." ”
I shook my head, "Isn't this place, it was built for me, I like it very much, and I want to move in." ”
Yuan Hyuk raised his head and hesitated for a long time, and finally he sighed, "Since you like to move here, then move here, I will order someone to clean up this place immediately, and the guards under the mountain will also be strengthened, so that you will not be in danger again." ”
Fortify the guards? Is it to protect me from happening like last night when I was kidnapped by Mrs. Li, or is it to watch me and guard against me?
I didn't answer him, just watched him stand up and walk to Grandpa Su who was waiting on the side. Then Yuan He turned around, only to see Father-in-law Su leaving alone, Yuan He walked in front of me again, "I have already arranged it, Xia Zhen is packing up things in the dormitory, a little later, when I am done, I will come over again." ”
"Go ahead." I looked away, not wanting him to come back.
After listening to my words, Won Hyuk just nodded, not knowing if he understood what I meant.
……
Although this Luoxiang Mountain was trapped in a besieged city, and there were guards patrolling up and down the mountain, I felt like I had been placed under house arrest in a different place. But fortunately, this place is far away from the palace in front of me, away from those who are right and wrong, away from those palace people who always seem to deliberately spread gossip to my ears.
Won Hyuk came here last night, and it can be seen that I leaned on the swing and didn't move, and I didn't say anything, and it didn't take long for him to excuse himself and leave.
I woke up early in the morning, walked out of the hall, took a breath, and the slightly cool air soaked into my heart and spleen, as if I had cured the pain on my body at once, and I was much more energetic than when I was trapped in the dormitory some time ago.
I went to the bottom of the swing and sat on it again, leaning against the vine to take a nap.
"You're here."
When I heard the voice, I opened my eyes and looked over, and the person standing not far away at this time turned out to be Xiong Lie, whom I hadn't seen for a long time. I smiled at him, and when I said hello, Xiong Lie walked over to me out of sight. "Did you come to the palace today to see me?"
I've been seeing Jiang Yan before, and I haven't seen him since the last time I met Mrs. Li and Zhao Sheng with Xiong Lie, but this time he took the initiative to find Luoxiangshan, if it was a coincidence, it would be too deliberate.
"I heard that a few days ago, you had an accident." Xiong Lie didn't answer yes or no, but asked his question directly.
I nodded, and I answered. After a long pause, he didn't speak, I thought for a while, "Do you remember the woman that **** saw with me?" ”
Xiong Lie was stunned by this sudden question, but he reacted faster, and immediately remembered the situation that day, just looking at his appearance, he probably just remembered that there was such a person, and he couldn't remember the specific appearance of this person. "She held you hostage?"
"She's Mrs. Wonhyuk's Rei." I told her identity first, and after Xiong Lie heard it, he was really a little embarrassed, so I continued, "Her food was poisoned, and she thought it was made by Wonhyuk, so she ran to me for help." I was ...... I asked the girl next to me to ask the supervisor to find out who had poisoned her. As a result, the eunuch surrounded the dormitory with men, and she took me hostage and tried to escape from the palace, but was shot dead when she finally got into the carriage. ”
After listening to Xiong Lie, he didn't speak.
"What about you? What are you doing to come to see me today? Want to know what happened in Yeyu Palace? Or do you want to make sure I'm safe? I asked with a smile, knowing that he didn't come to inquire about the situation, but I still felt that he had come at the wrong time. He just had an accident, and he came to visit me at this time, which is probably also an adventure.
"Your situation doesn't seem to be as good as I thought it was at the beginning." Xiong Lie naturally understood what I meant, and he looked around, "Yuan Hyuk cares about you very much, but it is this kind of care that will kill you." ”
I smiled and didn't care.
"The other ladies in this palace have all had accidents, and now you are the only one left, what are your plans?" Xiong Lie frowned slightly, as if he was a little dissatisfied with my reaction.
"Do you think I'm going to have an accident?" I'm just a little concerned, but I've long seen life and death. After that, I couldn't help but think of Ziyuan, "If you die, you can be freed from this cage, which is also a good thing." ”
Xiong Lie didn't answer me.
"But now, I have figured out what you told me at that time. But I think it's just a good thing. "I've been reminiscing about the past these days, or I have to recall, since the cold moon said those words to me, I've been trying to remember everything that might have happened in the past, so I turned out what I didn't have from the bottom of my heart to dry.
I really think it's okay, if I had wronged Yuan Jue at that time, and ended up like this, I would only be more miserable than now.
I don't know if it's because I'm looking too bleak, Xiong Lie looked at me, and then looked away. He understood what I meant, but I looked at him, "Why, are you starting to regret sending me back here then?" ”
Xiong Lie's eyes were complicated, and he let out a long sigh, "I didn't do this to hurt you. ”
"Xiong Lie," I called him by his name, "the power of a man is so complicated, if a woman can be in power in this world, what would it be like?" ”
He was stunned and looked at me intuitively, "You ......"
"I'm just asking, curious." From his surprised look, I could tell the shock he felt the moment he heard my words, and I am afraid that he really felt at that moment that I intended to take this world from the hands of men. "Maybe it's because I've seen a lot and felt a lot that I feel that if a woman is in power, maybe all this will be different."
Xiong Lie's heart softened, and he just smiled bitterly and said, "She also asked the same question. ”
"She?" I was unexpected, but I just thought of Ziyuan that Xiong Lie put in my heart, "Are you talking about Ziyuan?" ”
Xiong Lie did not deny it.
"An uninhibited woman like Miss Ziyuan would certainly ask such a question." Thinking of Ziyuan, he still had palpitations, "It's just that in this cage of power, the first people to be trapped and killed are unrestrained women." ”
That's how it is, and so am I...... And Jialan.
"Some time ago, I sent her ashes back to her parents, and under the yellow spring, she and Ziyun can also be companions." Xiong Lie said freely, "It is her greatest misfortune that she can not pay off her true identity until she dies." ”
"Are you alright?" I looked a little lonely when I looked at him, and I am afraid that this was the first time he had said these words.
Xiong Lie shook his head, "You are very similar to her. ”
"Really?" I am deeply honored to be able to say that it is very much like the woman he puts in his heart.
"It's very similar to the original one, unrestrained, flamboyant. It's just that when she later pretended to be Ziyun and married me, maybe she deliberately wanted to hide the difference between her and Ziyun, so she tolerated everywhere, and became more and more helpless day by day. Xiong Lie remembered that once, it was rare to see that he also had a tender side when he was arrogant on weekdays, "You know, a few of them had a good time at the beginning, I only joined their circle later, I first knew Zi Wan, but I didn't expect that there is a Zi Yuan in this world, as a concubine, I was suppressed by my brother everywhere, and I was not valued by my father, Zi Wan was close to me because she believed that I would inherit Qu Xiong in the future, and I would be the leader of Qu Xiong in the future." And Ziyuan, she doesn't care at all, she doesn't care about power, she doesn't care if I'm a concubine or a concubine, she just treats me as a very ordinary friend, because she doesn't care much about me. ”
Because Ziyuan doesn't care about him, but he cares about Ziyuan instead, which may be a common problem of men, "Since she doesn't care about you, why can't you let her go?" ”
Xiong Lie also felt that he was stupid at that time, he smiled bitterly, "Ziyuan is very good to her friends, she doesn't get very close to the women in the tribe, but she often rides and hunts with the men. She once saved my life," Xiong Lie said, looking back at me, and said very seriously, "My brother-in-law thinks I'm a threat, so he wanted to kill me that time, and we got separated from the others, but fortunately, Ziyuan deliberately made a move to scare my brother-in-law away by riding back on horseback in order to find me. ”
It's no wonder that Xiong Lie misses her for a long time.
"I've always suspected that Aster is Ziyuan, but I've never dared to confirm it." Xiong Lie finally confessed, he had always been aware of it, this was the first time since Ziyuan died for so long, Xiong Lie faced the past and confessed his thoughts, he retreated from his usual arrogance and indifference at this time, and talked to me about his thoughts like an old friend, "When I first got married, I thought I was marrying Ziyun, although I married her as a side lady, but I still felt that I was forced to marry a woman I didn't like, so I hated her very much, hated her for using my father to hold me hostage, I treated her very badly, Saying a lot of bad things and doing a lot of things that deliberately humiliated her, I just wanted to vent my frustration, I wanted to provoke her, and transfer all my resentment to her marriage to us. It's just that she didn't say anything, she didn't do anything, because Ziyuan didn't like Ziyun, she liked me and cared about me, no matter what I did, she accepted it lightly, and endured everything like a wife should have, but never refuted. ”
It turned out that it was because the relationship was out of control at the beginning, so even if he began to doubt it, he was unwilling to take the initiative to confirm it, and he was unwilling to ask her for verification in person. Because he was also afraid that the person who saw his ugliness was actually the woman he had always wanted to marry.
So in this day, I have been missing.
I also felt a little bitter and asked him to sit down next to him, because he looked too lost, but, "Since you already suspect that she may be Ziyuan, why do you still have to calculate to let her suffer everything and die." (To be continued.) )
