Chapter 54: Wishful Thinking
It was the height of summer, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter, especially in the afternoon, when the scorching sun was overhead, and the heat was shrouded.
Ruyi had just returned from the Internal Affairs Office, and she was holding her breath, so she washed her face with cold water and washed the sweat on her forehead.
"Sister Ruyi, what's wrong, are you going to get ice cubes?" Haruka bounced over, handed over a towel, and asked.
Ruyi took the towel, put her fingers in front of her mouth, and said in a low voice, "Shhh, be quiet, don't let the master hear it, the master is already guilty enough, don't let her worry about such a anymore." ”
Haruka nodded obediently, she saw that Ruyi was empty-handed, and guessed that she must have asked for nothing. Ice cubes are a rare item, and on this hot day, they can be used to preserve food and cool down, which is indeed a good thing. They originally wanted to go to the Internal Affairs Office to get some points to relieve the heat for their masters, but how could it be so easy, they would inevitably suffer a ridicule.
Ruyi stared at the clear peach eyes, threw the towel into the basin, and scolded angrily, "Those dogs in the Internal Affairs Office look down on people, forget if they don't give them ice cubes, they have to deliberately humiliate their masters with ugly words, who gives them so much courage, even the master dares to laugh." When our master was favored, they all came to please and flatter, but now it's good, they are all a group of wall grass. ”
Cheating with a eunuch, this is a very lowly thing for the concubines, everyone in the palace despises it, and even an ordinary eunuch and palace maid dare to spit on the door twice when passing by Xianfu Palace, in order to show their contempt for cuttlefish.
Naturally, the people in the Internal Affairs Office will also use this matter as a handle, and after saying all the harsh words, Ruyi feels sorry for the master, and feels angry and sad, but he can only stare at it and endure this anger, there is no other way.
"It's the Yuan treasurer who is in charge of daily necessities, and it's not a thing, wait until the master returns to favor in the future, see how I clean him up." Ruyi gritted her teeth and sighed heavily.
Chunxiang saw that Ruyi had lost her previous steadiness, but instead looked resentful, she was a little afraid in her heart, and hurriedly responded, "They are that kind of virtue, Sister Ruyi, don't be angry, the master will definitely get rid of his sins and return to favor in the future, and when the time comes, let's go to him again and have a good bad time." ”
It's just talking, but in fact, Haruka doesn't think that the cuttlefish will be able to get out of the predicament, on the contrary, she recognizes that the cuttlefish will be planted to the end and the end will be bleak.
Inside the house, the cuttlefish squeezed the brush in his hand, and with a click, the pen barrel broke. Her ears are not bad, the window is wide open, and even if Ruyi and the others deliberately lower their voices, she can hear them clearly.
In order to pass the time, the cuttlefish thought of practicing calligraphy, but even if she held the scroll pen and ink on her side, she still couldn't calm down, and the writing was messy. Now, she knows what happened to Ruyi in the Internal Affairs Office, and she feels even more sad.
The cuttlefish shook his head, it was really stupid to feel distressed, he knew that he would look at people's faces, why bother to do more, he was grounded and left out in the cold, what does it matter if he wants ice cubes or not. This intention is rare, but with her current ability, she really can't repay it, so she can only write it down silently.
The cuttlefish was secretly sad, thinking about when the emperor would be able to come to see her, there had been no news for so long, didn't he listen to those gossips and be disappointed in her?
At this time, a young female voice came from outside, pulling back the cuttlefish's thoughts.
"Hello sisters, I am the peach of Zhongcui Palace, my mother sent me to give this thing to Su Changzai, I don't know if Su Changzai is in the palace."
Chunxiang was not angry, and said quickly, "My master has been grounded, where can he be if he is not in Xianfu Palace, what's the matter, are you here to check Su Chang?" ”
Of course Momo'er didn't mean that, she blushed and sobbed, not knowing how to reply, so she quickly patted Chunxiang as if she had an opinion, and asked her not to talk nonsense.
Ruyi greeted him with a smile and said, "Tao'er, my master is resting in the house, you can leave this to me." ”
Tao'er took a step back, lowered her head and honestly refused, "Back to my sister's words, Concubine Ning asked me to hand it over to Su Changzai personally, I don't dare to ...... I don't dare to give it to you, Niangniang knows that she will be angry, so let's ask Su Changzai to come out. ”
This thing is very important, for the sake of insurance, Ning Concubine asked Tao'er to be sure to deliver it to the cuttlefish in person, and there can be no sloppiness.
Chunxiang snorted coldly when she heard this, immediately shook her face, and said dissatisfiedly, "What do you mean by this, could it be that you don't believe us, and return your mother's orders, yes, as long as you are a loyal girl, we can't do it, and you can't even take a piece of broken paper for the master, it's really funny." ”
Tao'er was sarcastic again, so she had to stand still and say nothing, she just obeyed orders, and no matter how she thought about it, she would be provoked.
Hearing this, the cuttlefish walked out, glanced at Chunxiang, and then said warmly to Tao'er, "Give it to me, thank Concubine Ning for me when I go back." ”
Tao'er breathed a sigh of relief, "Su Chang is in Wan'an, Niangniang said that this is Xiaochuan's relic, and it was found in his house, so let me come to you, saying that it is a good memory." If nothing else, the slave and maid go back first. ”
As soon as she heard that it was the object left by Xiaochuan, the cuttlefish was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly and carefully took it, her eyes were already a little moist unconsciously, she nodded gratefully at Tao'er, and was speechless for a while.
Now that she has lost power, Concubine Ning is willing to send someone to send her something despite the ban, which can be regarded as a favor.
The cuttlefish opened the thin paper in her hand, and the delicate handwriting was presented in front of her, and after reading the last two sentences, she suddenly realized that this was actually a suicide note. Obviously, Xiao Chuan expected that he would have an accident before his death, so he left a message for her.
She read on in a hurry, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
It turned out that Xiao Chuan didn't know where the silk handkerchief came from and why it appeared on his body, he only knew that Gu Changzai suddenly found him and took out the handkerchief from his body, as for the rest, Xiao Chuan didn't know anything.
The next few lines of words made the cuttlefish even more sad.
“…… Xiao Yu'er, this time I didn't even bother you, blame me for being careless, let the traitors have a chance, I'm afraid, they will want to kill you. In any case, you must remember to live well, the innocence between the two of us will definitely be proven, as for me, you don't have to take it to heart, I am a cheap life, I was born without my father and mother's pain, even if I die, there is nothing to regret ..................................... Xiao Chuan did not say his affection for the cuttlefish until he died, and this love was buried in his heart forever.
The tears of the cuttlefish fell on the paper, and all kinds of past events surfaced in front of me, and those fragmented pictures could never be returned......
