Chapter 19: Goodbye

The melon field of the Siyuan Bureau is green, the green melon vines are intertwined, and the melons with fist-sized melons are round and hidden under the leaves like children, and the probe probes look very gratifying.

Magnolia bent over the melons with shears in her hand, removing weeds and small melons that could not grow into the melons, the morning sun was already very strong, and large beads of sweat dripped from under the cloth wrapped around her head and dripped into the ground.

Zangjiao followed behind her, holding a hedge rake woven with bamboo strips, picking up the cut messy branches and residual melons to the edge of the pond and piling them up, waiting for the rain to pour them out, and gradually rotting into fertilizer to nourish the fertile soil of the melon field.

The decoction sent by Lingzhi Shanggong is very useful, and the body is no longer in pain, and the spirit is much more uplifted. The bruises on the knees were smeared with medicinal wine and gradually faded away, the soft green silk was tied into a tight bun and piled up behind his head, and his head was wrapped with a white towel like magnolia to shield himself from the scorching sun.

"Jiao Niang, I thought you were going to get sick after suffering so much, but fortunately, you survived." Magnolia lowered her head and tended to the branches while smiling and talking to Zangjiao.

Zangjiao's face turned crimson due to the heat, and she responded to Yulan with a smile: "Sister Meng and Dong'er take care of it, otherwise how can it be so good." My body was healthy at first, but since I entered the palace, I have been frustrated by accidents one after another, and I have become much weaker.

I feel much better after drinking the decoction in the past few days. It's just that the person who delivered the medicine changed a few for some reason. I think it's also in the palace every day, but I sit and wonder. Although this work is hard, the green fields and green water in my eyes are pleasing to the eyes, and I feel more energetic than when I was in the palace. ”

Yulan lowered her head and wiped a handful of sweat silently, secretly saying in her heart that she couldn't tell you. Since you fell ill, the people who boiled the medicine fell to their deaths while walking on the road at night, and one fell into the well with one foot. Now the people who boil the medicine are all people brought by the Lingzhi Shang Palace. If there is no way here, I don't believe it.

Zangjiao saw that Yulan didn't speak for a long time, but said that she was tired. Busy picking up a bunch of branches and leaves, feeling that his arm was sore, he straightened up and looked into the distance, but saw a huge lake not far away, and there were many flowers and trees on the ground on the shore.

My heart moved for a while: "Sister Yulan, I want to wash my hands and feet by the pond for a while, can you wait for me?" Magnolia straightened up and looked in the direction of her finger, oh:

"It's a nameless wild lake, there are a lot of aquatic plants in it, but there are many fish and shrimp swimming in it. In our spare time, we occasionally go to fish, roast it and sprinkle some salt to eat, and the taste is very delicious. You're going to be careful with the shore slippery on the shore. ”

Zangjiao responded happily, and moved the little golden lotus to the lake, Yulan didn't pay attention, and happened to be in a hurry, so she dropped the branches and shears and hurriedly ran to the thatched toilet for convenience.

Zangjiao walked slowly and carefully on the narrow paths in the field, and the fertile land along the way was full of unknown wildflowers and weeds, which were very beautiful mixed with red and green. When I walked to the shore of the lake, I found that the water surface of this wild lake was quite wide, stretching far away, and there were large woods on the left and right.

The lake is turquoise and clear, standing on the beach, you can see large clusters of thick green and lush aquatic plants in the water, wisps of aquatic plants swaying softly with the lake, and some swimming fish flicking their tails in the water.

Zangjiao chose a dry place and sat down carefully, clasped her hands on her knees and looked at the water and thought quietly. But in a few days, my life turned upside down, touching the rough linen between my fingers, and thinking back to life in the palace was like a world away.

It's been a few days, and there has been no news from the Inner Palace. I don't know if Qin Ge He'er and they are still staying in Yunshu Palace, whether Lan Yi has learned about her situation. Fortunately, I never heard the mourning of the queen's death, and I thought that there was no crisis in Niangniang's condition for the time being.

If the queen's health is getting better, I am afraid that the official family will also have the heart to think of herself. It's not a long-term solution to be trapped here now, although it's temporarily stable, I always feel that there is a lot of danger, and there seems to be a lot of things that are wrong in the haze.

recalled that the night in the provincial room was still full of suspicions, and when he returned to the room, Guixiang died inexplicably. Qiu Yun was cut off again, hiding from people all day long, and the position of the deacon was also taken over by the newcomer Lingzhi Shanggong.

A major event that killed people, but the top and bottom of the Siyuan Bureau were like a pool of stagnant water. Guixiang was charged with stealing gold bracelets and jewelry, and her body was taken back by her family for burial, but Qiuyun said that she angered the ghosts and gods, and was shaved by the little ghost.

Zangjiao's brows gradually frowned, and waves of thoughts and doubts shrouded her heart like a thick fog in the rain, and the wet clumps pressed people down. A pair of deep, waveless, agate-like brown eyes suddenly came to mind. There was a slight stirring in his brain, could it be that the man who helped him.

The light flashed in his mind, and he secretly laughed to himself and shook his head at his own crankiness. He must be sick and confused, how can an assassin who killed Lin Yuzhen save himself.

However, when I was drinking and feasting in Hongming Hall that day, I occasionally caught a glimpse of the deputy envoy of the Baishan Country, and the brown eyes between the unkempt beard and eyebrows on his face were somewhat similar to that person, but they were a little more gloomy.

Zangjiao hung her head and thought more and more, her mind was immersed in all kinds of speculation, and she unintentionally rubbed a few grass leaves and green branches in her hands, and the faint grass juice stained her fingertips.

He didn't pay attention to the two palace people who were walking towards him from the other side of the lake, one of them was tall and strong, the other was short and thin, and they were dressed like ordinary palace people in the Siyuan Bureau. There are no farm tools in his hands, and he looks left and right with his empty body and slowly approaches the surroundings of Zangjiao.

In the distance, Yulan happened to come back from the toilet, and raised her eyes from a distance to see the two people sneakily approaching Zangjiao and acting strangely. raised his voice and waited to shout to remind Zangjiao to be careful, but suddenly the wind behind his head was suffocating, and he felt a sharp pain in his neck, and he fell silently in the melon field.

Zangjiao listened to the sound of Suo Suo behind her, and the fish swimming in the water scattered in all directions. When he turned his neck and looked back curiously, he saw two people from the Miansheng Palace approaching with their hands in their hands, and asked urgently, "Who are you two?" ”

When the two palace people saw Zangjiao, they glanced at each other, and their eyes suddenly showed a fierce look of hideousness. Gritting his teeth, he pounced on one of them, grabbed Zangjiao's arm with one hand, and dragged him vigorously into the woods by the lake.

The mud on the shore of the lake stall was slippery, and the two palace people dragged Zangjiao to stagger and step on the muddy water, Zangjiao struggled desperately with her arms, opened her mouth and wanted to shout for help, but was covered by the tall and sturdy palace man with a fat palm.

The short and thin one gasped and lowered his voice and shouted: "Liuniang, although few people come to this melon field, the slut is so struggling that it is only afraid that it will be inappropriate, so I still beat her unconscious." ”

The tall and sturdy palace man nodded when he heard this, and raised his eyes and raised his hand to hit Zang Jiao's neck hard. Zangjiao's hands were grabbed by them, knowing that she couldn't hide, she closed her eyes sadly and prepared to bear it.

Hearing two slight noises from the trees by the lake, the two palace people suddenly fell to their knees on the wet mud with weak legs. Zangjiao suddenly felt a lightness on her body, and took the opportunity to break out her arms and run as hard as she could into the bushes.

She was already small on the toes, and in a panic, the soles of her shoes slipped heavily on the wet mud, and her whole body flew forward and fell diagonally, and she was about to fall to the ground.

The shrubs in the forest froze, and a figure quickly swept out, reaching out to support Zangjiao. One hand gently supported her slender waist and quickly retreated into the bushes.

The man helped Zangjiao to stand firmly, patted her back a few times before gradually relieving herself, and looked at this person with a pair of eyes as bright as water, and a pair of agate-colored pupils suddenly broke into her eyes.

Zangjiao's heart almost jumped out of her chest, and she opened her petite cherry lips and gasped hard. With wide eyes, he stammered, "You, who are you, it's you?" ”

The man's deep eyes lit up slightly, and he smiled at Zangjiao: "I didn't expect you to remember me, girl." ”
