Chapter 57
After all, Li Hu is not an ordinary person, obviously he is extremely jealous of Zhang Guifei in his heart, but he laughs angrily and says, "It's really a good temperament!" β
His gaze wandered to Liuli's face, and it flashed again, revealing some greed.
However, he didn't do anything, only turned around and led people out, and ordered, "The palace is inhabited by the concubines of the Son of Heaven, and the royal family is noble, and no one can be rude!" Those who dare to take offense will be killed! β
Li Hu has already left.
The concubines in the palace didn't understand the situation, they just looked at each other. In the end, they all gathered around Xu Si and asked, "Sister Xu, what does he mean?" "Have you already let us go......?"
Zhang Guifei scolded, "He's just a human being...... but she had a sharp pain in her chest, and before she finished a sentence, she coughed up blood again.
Someone accused Zhang Guifei and said, "I don't think this person is so bad, my sister wants to assassinate him, and he treats him politely." "If it weren't for his generosity, your previous actions would have killed this full hall of people long ago!"
β¦β¦ Xu Si has experienced chaos, she knows that there is indeed such a woman in the world, the more she is insulted and β‘β‘, the more she wants to excuse the bad guys, and she can't wait to forgive the bad guys' "helplessness". On the contrary, for those women who dare to resist, they are jealous and hateful, and they can't help the bad guys strangle these people to death.
Probably they don't know how despicable and shameful they look at the moment.
Xu Si just ignored it.
But Liuli couldn't bear it anymore, although it was still full of tears, but it was already full of color. A slap in the face, "You sluts! Daddy has treated you poorly on weekdays, and now you can't wait to flatter and rebel! β
Most of them were so embarrassed that they didn't dare to say anything more. But there are still some people who are embarrassed and more forceful, "We people are in a lowly position, and in the eyes of nobles like the princess, we are just an object." It's just an object, but where is it placed? The mother and the princess are only in charge of Zhenlie, and there are people who will recite the good name for you. You don't have to compare yourself to us sluts. β
Another humane, "The princess was born so young and beautiful, if she really kills herself, it is really regrettable......"
Xu Si was finally angered, "Enough! Shut up. β
There were still people who wanted to argue, but they only heard a "bang" - Ruyi waved his hand and smashed a porcelain bottle, and said, "It's not just Li Hu who can kill people, do you believe it or not?" β
The brief commotion finally subsided, and everyone fell silent.
Xu Si said to Zhang Guifei, "You should take good care of your injuries, and the future will be long." β
Zhang Guifei said, "Where is there anything else?" β
Xu Sidao, "Li Hu has broken through Taicheng, and when the news spreads, the princes of the world will inevitably rise up." No matter how cruel Li Hu is, how can he be a hundred? β
Zhang Guifei said sadly, "What's the use of that?" If these people really want to come to rescue the Son of Heaven, they won't sit back and watch Li Hu break through Taicheng......"
Xu Si knew that she didn't understand what she wanted to say, so she no longer analyzed the current situation for her, and only said bluntly, "--Li Hu will support the crown prince to ascend the throne and seize the righteousness first." β
The hall, which was already very quiet, became even more silent in an instant.
But most of the people in this temple are short-sighted, and not all of them can understand it in a word. There was also a person who had torn his face with Concubine Zhang before who was unwilling, and said, "But ...... But hasn't he already set up the Marquis of Xixiang? If the crown prince succeeds to the throne, won't he be busy in vain? β
Xu Si ignored it, only looked at Zhang Guifei quietly, and said, "Don't be in a hurry to die, just calm down and think about your sons and daughters." β
Zhang Guifei understood, and her smile became more and more poignant, "I see...... But I would rather him die a heroic martyr than live in the world and be a puppet for the enemy who killed his father! β
Suddenly, she lined up and ran upstairs, and everyone didn't know what she was going to do, and she exclaimed, "-- Hold her!" β
only Ruyi had time to jump up the stairs to pull her, but Zhang Guifei turned around and waved a dagger, Ruyi subconsciously flashed, and Zhang Guifei went up to the attic on the second floor.
She went up to the balcony outside the attic and turned around and locked the door. She came to the front of the stage, looked at the heavy soldiers outside the Huiyin Hall and Li Hu, who turned around not far away, and insulted loudly.
Then he flew and jumped down.
Zhang Guifei finally died.
And the situation was just as predicted by Xu Si - the day after the invasion of Taicheng, Li Hu supported the crown prince Xiao Huaiyou to succeed to the throne, and he served as the great Sima and the general. He also ordered Xiao Maode to marry Xiao Liulixia, the princess of Shuyang, to him and get married on a certain day.
The first month of the sixth year of Tianhe.
Resignation Autumn Palace.
When Xu Si entered the house, Ruyi was leaning on the side of the bed and reading. ββHow can you still have the heart to read at such a time? Xu Si knew that Ruyi must have something to hide.
She stepped forward and pulled Ruyi's hand away and reached into her arms. But there was nothing. She looked into Ruyi's eyes, thought for a moment, and then touched the pillow behind her again. Ruyi really raised his hand to block it.
However, when he looked at Xu Si, he finally lowered his eyes and gave in.
Xu Si reached in, and he was stunned for a momentβit was actually a short knife more than a foot long.
She couldn't help but lower her voice and asked, "Where did it come from?" β
- After Zhang Guifei's death, Li Hu put Ruyi and Liuli under house arrest. Since they are under house arrest, they have naturally searched every corner to make sure that they are not left with anything that can be used as weapons.
Ruyi lowered her eyes and said, "...... It is Erlang's internal response. β
Before being placed under house arrest by the Son of Heaven, Ruyi handed over the rudder to Erlang. During her house arrest, Jiro has been busy with Jiankang's defense, probably to avoid suspicion, and has not exchanged news with her. But the people under her hands, Erlang really trusted. When Li Hu lured the slaves in the city to surrender, Erlang took the opportunity to order Li Dui and others to disguise themselves as slaves who surrendered to the enemy and blended into the rebels.
Today, Li Dui finally got the opportunity to come and contact Ruyi. If you asked him for a weapon, he gave Ruyi the short knife.
Xu Siye was silent for only a moment, then dipped his hand in water and whispered to Ruyi, "I paint, you remember." β
Ruyi hung his head and was silent, and Xu Si reminded him, "Ruyi-"
When Ruyi raised her head, her face was already full of tears, and she only shook her head and said, "I won't run away." β
Xu Si stood up, looked at her in annoyance, and Ruyi went to pull Xu Si's hand, suppressed the sobbing, and said, "A-Niang, don't go to see that beast again...... My mother and I lived and died together. β
Xu Si felt sour, she thought, yes, her daughter is already older, of course these things can't be hidden from her.
But she can't justify that she has not been humiliated - Li Hu did not let go of his resentment, in order to humiliate Xu Si, he would call Xu Si to serve when he was having lewd music in the Huiyin Hall these days. Fortunately, Xu Si is already old. What's more, a woman like her, who has suffered a lot but has never been broken, even if she coerced her to untie her clothes, she only suddenly seemed to be poor in donkey skills. Therefore, Li Hu did not bring humiliation on himself. He only asked Xu Si to do some rough work like a servant, and to take pleasure in insulting her with words with the new beauty. Of course, occasionally it is inevitable to suffer from flesh and skin, but after the first beauty who scolded Xu Si was whipped to death by Li Hu, even if Li Hu ordered the beauties to humiliate her, they didn't dare to be too presumptuous - in the end, Xu Si saw people being tortured and killed in front of her one after another, and she was a little overwhelmed.
Xu Si said, "But A-Niang is still waiting for you to escape, and you can bring someone back to save me......
Ruyi only opened his eyes wide, and looked at Xu Si with teary eyes.
Xu Si raised his hand to hold Ruyi's face, gently wiped her tears, and sighed, "That's it, it's okay...... A-Niang is reluctant to let you take the risk-"
Ke Ruyi raised his hand and grabbed Xu Si. She rudely wiped away the tears from her face, trying her best to suppress herself from crying, "A-Niang, let's draw...... I'm sure I'll write them all down; β
Xu Si used his fingers as a pen and water as ink, lowered his voice and carefully explained to Ruyi the general deployment of the rebels in the forbidden city, and where there might be someone who could respond to Ruyi.
-- Since the siege of Taicheng, Xu Si has been arranging the way back. She is familiar with the layout of Taicheng, and she has also paid attention to observing and exploring the situation of the rebels' garrison defense these days. It's better than living under Li Hu's obscenity.
"You don't have to worry too much about A-Niang'......" In the end, Xu Si said with relief, "Li Hu hasn't found your brother yet, and he still wants to keep me as a hostage." I heard that your uncle also won the battle in Shouchun, and the Eastern Wei people had limited national strength, and they had lost too much in the previous battle with the Northern Expeditionary Army, and they would definitely not be able to continue to go south after this defeat. When your uncle frees his hand, Li Hu won't dare to do anything to me. She paused as she said and said, "Although it seems that you don't have to worry about such a distant thing at first, A-Niang still wants to ask, after you leave Taicheng, do you plan to follow Erlang or go to your cousin?" β
Ruyi said, "Cousin and Erlang will also converge sooner or later." β
Xu Si sighed and said, "Yes......"
After all, Ruyi hadn't even escaped from the Ciqiu Palace, and it was indeed too far to worry about these at the moment. Xu Si didn't ask any more questions after all, only touched Ruyi's head, and sighed softly.
Chengxiang Temple.
Liuli once again knocked over the food presented by the palace people.
The maidservants did not dare to persuade her, but carefully cleaned the things and told the kitchen to make a new one.
Since the death of Zhang Guifei, the glass has not been drip for two consecutive days. Two days ago, Concubine Xu of the Ciqiu Palace quietly ventured to see her, and after a few words with her, she was finally willing to eat.
However, it is also a tantrum that lifts the table and smashes the bowl when it is not in accordance with his wishes, which is very difficult to serve.
However, the palace people admired Concubine Zhang's integrity, and also took pity on Liuli's experience, and did not complain about her because of this.
At the beginning, Liuli still knew how to cry, and the cry was so sad that others wanted to cry when they heard it. But then she didn't even have tears, and just sat quietly on the edge of the bed all day. No one knew what she was thinking, but just look at her eyes and knew it wouldn't be a good thing.
--There was a kind of determination in her eyes that only those who had made up their minds to die together, a mixture of madness and dead silence.
Fortunately, Li Hu was busy with the harem of the adulterous emperor, and although he ordered to arrange his marriage with Liuli, he never came to the Liuli room. only made a big deal to prepare for his marriage.
The wedding was just two days away.
The palace people didn't think that Liuli could succeed, but they didn't say anything to break her illusions. even faintly expected Li Hu to be careless for a while, and really let Liuli succeed.
-- This demon entered the city for five days, and all he did was murder and plunder. I heard that the people of the city no longer go to the rivers to draw water, because the rivers are full of floating corpses. In Jiankang City, everyone who still has a trace of ambition is looking forward to his death. They were all afraid of his obscenity and did not dare to take risks, so they could only hope for the assassination of one or two righteous men and the conquest of the princes of the Quartet.
Therefore, after cleaning up the cups and plates, although Gong E immediately found that a silver chopstick was missing, the silver chopsticks were clearly stepped on the feet of the glass, but she just silently lowered her head and quietly retreated.
After everyone left, Liuli moved her feet away, quietly picked up the silver chopstick, and quietly caged it in her sleeve.
