Chapter 220: Catharsis
Rong Wan looked at the fire in front of her, the panic in her heart calmed down slightly, just a moment ago, she was still thinking about how to hide the fact that the soldier talisman was hiding on herself, and the next moment Concubine Li ignited the fire ** and took the matter of the soldier talisman back to herself.
Luo Yun stood in the burning Chengqian Hall for a while, watching the fire raging, the beautiful palace in the past is now turned to ashes, this is not the first time that there has been a water incident in the palace, but the death is so vigorous, but only Concubine Li is alone.
He angrily flicked off his sleeves and strode away.
Rong Wan remembered, also turned slightly, thoughtfully walked forward, but did not pay attention to the collision with the person, she raised her head slightly, the person who bumped into was an inner waiter, the inner servant apologized to Rong Wan with a panicked face, Rong Wan waved her hand, and let the inner servant leave.
When Rong Wan arrived at Zhanghua Palace, Ah Bi, who was sent to serve her, had disappeared, and then it was Xi Ming, who was assigned by Empress Dowager Xun before, compared to Ah Bi, Xi Ming was much safer.
After all, when she left the Chengqian Palace, Concubine Li set her on fire**, this matter is not clear, but Luo Yun will definitely feel that there is an inevitable connection with her.
Rong Wan was still very calm on the surface, but she was thinking about countermeasures in her heart.
The hours passed little by little, and soon it was three o'clock in the morning, Rong Wan sat in the hall reading a book, Xi Ming came from the side, lowered her eyebrows and said, "It's late, do you want to rest?" ”
Rong Wan put down the book in her hand, stretched out her hand and rubbed her eyes, and said to Xi Ming, "I feel a little tightness in my chest when I read this book, you go out with me to breathe." ”
Xi Ming raised her eyes to look at Rong Wan, and saw that Rong Wan was indeed tired, so she responded, but still mentioned a sentence, "The night is heavy, and the maid will accompany the lady to walk around this Zhanghua Palace." ”
Rong Wan didn't object, stood up and said, "Let's go!" ”
Xi Ming picked up the cloak and put it on for Rong Wan, and then followed Rong Wan out of Zhanghua Palace.
Although a palace lamp was lit outside Zhanghua Palace, there was no moon or stars in the dark night sky, and it was still gray, Rong Wan turned around, making Ximing believe that she really wanted to breathe, so she walked aimlessly in one direction.
The deeper and deeper she went, Xi Ming felt that it was inappropriate, so she reached out and grabbed Rong Wan, who was walking forward, and said, "Lady, it's time to go back." ”
The person in front turned around, but it was not Rong Wan's gentle face, but a hideous face, with teeth and claws, like a ghost, no matter how calm Ren Ximing was, he couldn't escape from such a fright, and he fell down all of a sudden.
The grimace grinned, turned around abruptly, stretched out his hand to remove the mask, and faced Rong Wan who was standing aside, "Lady, it's too late for your subordinates." ”
Rong Wan looked at Xia Chi who was standing in front of her, and wondered, "How can you have an inside line in the palace?" ”
Xia Chi paused slightly, and replied, "It's Uncle Guo's person." ”
Rong Wan looked at him, thought slightly, his doubts slowly became firm, and his mouth was not a question, but a statement, "You and Xia Ying are also his people!" ”
Xia Chi didn't hide it, nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Rong Wan breathed softly, she should have thought of it a long time ago, if Xun Zhan knew that she was reborn from the beginning, she would have paid attention to her, and when the **** went to Jingwutang to pick people, Xia Ying Xia Chi was among them, and then the two of them came to the door to recommend themselves, they should have felt strange, but she was in a hurry to use people, since she was harmless, she didn't think about the way out.
Thinking of this, Rong Wan couldn't help but have some complicated thoughts, but it was extremely inappropriate to meet in this situation, so she got down to business, "What did he ask you to do?" ”
"Uncle Guo asked his subordinates to take the lady out of the palace."
Rong Wan shook her head, "Taking me back like this will inevitably disturb the snake a little, Luo Yun will definitely prepare in advance." Thinking about it, Rong Wan took out the hard object in her arms and spread out her palm, "Give it to Uncle Guo!" ”
Xia Chi put his eyes on the things in Rong Wan's hand, his eyes couldn't help but flicker slightly, if he was not mistaken, this is the military talisman that the emperor has been putting all along, this talisman is different from other talismans, with this talisman, any army can be mobilized, how did Rong Wan get it?
You must know that when the master went to find the Baoding army, the Fan people were not willing to send troops at all because they did not have a military talisman.
After weighing the two phases, Xia Chi also felt that Rong Wan had said a lot, so he took back the talisman in her hand with apologies, and then said, "After the matter is completed, the subordinates will definitely come over and take the lady out." ”
Rong Wan nodded, looking at Xi Ming, who was still lying on the ground, "Take her back to Zhanghua Palace first." ”
The next day, Xi Ming woke up on the small couch next to the inner hall, remembering what happened last night, she quickly got up and went to the dormitory to see Rong Wan, and saw that Rong Wan was still sleeping peacefully on the bed, and her hanging heart relaxed slightly.
She slowly walked to the bed and whispered, "Lady." ”
Rong Wan looked at Xi Ming with sleepy eyes, and listened to Xi Ming and said, "Lady, last night the maid was scared by a ghost, I don't know how the lady is?" ”
Rong Wan frowned, and looked at Ximing puzzled, "I rested early last night, I didn't see any ghost faces, why are you talking nonsense, but you have nightmares?" ”
After Rong Wan said this, Xi Ming's mind was a little confused, and she was a little vague about what happened last night, and she didn't know whether it was true or not, thinking that she was too nervous to guard Rong Wan in the past few days.
Thinking like this, he said, "Is it the maid who has a nightmare, does the lady want to get up?" ”
Rong Wan nodded, got up naturally as usual, nothing unusual, Xi Ming carefully observed Rong Wan for a day, and then relaxed.
It has been two days since Concubine Li started the fire**, Luo Yun seems to have disappeared, and she has never been to Zhanghua Palace again, but the tea that served her is more silent than before, and she is in a daze more and more, and her expression is not as calm as before, and her sad expression is printed on her brows.
Rong Wan saw the change of Xi Ming in her heart, and seeing Xi Ming like this, she naturally asked Xi Ming, but obviously Xi Ming would not tell her, but she could guess that the soldier was in Xun Zhan's hand, and this time she must have made a lot of moves, otherwise it would not have caused such a big trouble to Luo Yun, so that the news spread to the harem.
After another two days, Rong Wan seemed to be able to hear the shouts in front of her ears, Xi Ming couldn't stand in Zhanghua Palace, and she raised her feet and went out of the inner hall, leaving only Rong Wan and the other two small palace maids in the inner hall.
The shouts were getting closer and closer, Rong Wan stepped out of the inner hall, but saw that at the door of the hall, a person slowly approached her with an extremely decadent attitude, Rong Wan didn't need to look closely, she knew that the person in front of her was Luo Yun.
It seems that Luo Yun is about to lose.
Luo Yun walked up to Rong Wan, looked at her intently with a pair of deep eye sockets, and asked in an extremely heavy tone after a long time, "You already got the talisman, didn't you?" ”
If it weren't for the military talisman, based on Luo Yun's understanding of the Fan family, the Fan family would definitely not rush to send troops.
Even if Luo Yun couldn't get the talisman, as long as he delayed for a few more days, no one would be able to stop him.
Now, there is no need for Rong Wan to hide it, so she nodded silently.
Luo Yun raised his head slightly and smiled bitterly, uncertain, "Why?" Obviously, General Li has already sued me, she will help me, how can she help you hide it from me? ”
Rong Wan was silent, and finally spoke, "The most difficult thing in this world to control is people's hearts, and the most difficult thing to ignore is human feelings, your plan to kill her and lose her daughter, she should hate you, after all, she promised to help you because the Li family was determined to help you." ”
Luo Yun snorted coldly, "What's the point of a mere daughter, when I finish the great cause, what does she want and can't get it?" ”
Rong Wan shook her head and looked at Luo Yun with burning eyes, "Have you also forgotten that when you killed the first emperor and won the throne, it was only because your father died in the suspicion of the Xiao family?"
In the beginning, your cause is for your father, and your fruit is naturally to take advantage of other people's feelings. ”
When it came to his father, Luo Yun actually lost a trace of his senses, and laughed wildly, "Take advantage of it?" At that time, they Li owed me, before the spy was drugged that day, he was obviously seen, but he was as vulgar as Vice General Li, but because he didn't deal with that person, he stubbornly didn't believe it, if it weren't for this, my father would not have died, if my father lived well, how could I be subservient everywhere, they Li should die, do it again, it's the same. ”
"Yes, there is also the Xun family, although Ah Zhan and A Ce call me the eldest brother, but in their hearts, I am not a Xun family after all, that kind of estrangement is a natural survival, but is it possible that I was born to be discarded, let down, and forgotten? I hate, I hate everyone. ”
Maybe it was because the soldiers were coming to the city, Luo Yun's condition was a little crazy, as if he was anxious to find someone to talk to, hoping that someone would understand what he was doing.
Rong Wan stood in place, a trace of sadness in her pupils, for Luo Yun, he had never seen his biological parents in his life, and even his adoptive father was the one who killed his father by mistake.
But he forgot that he was tightly shrunk in his shell and refused to come out, so that he, no matter how much others wanted to approach him, he would be rejected by him very far.
If you want to repay, you must pay first, he refuses to even go out of his own world, only looking forward to the past, how can anyone walk in and give him real warmth.
She unconsciously took a step forward, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, he restrained his smile, his eyes stared directly at hers staring at him, in those pupils, reflected his bleak but still stubborn face, he suddenly felt that his mask was seen through, his heart suddenly ached, reached out and grabbed her hand, and brought it in front of him, and she fell into his arms.
The body that came over was still very warm, but after a moment's pause, she wanted to struggle away, he hugged her arms and body, slowly tightened, and the tip of his nose could still smell her hair, and said softly, "Let me hold it for a while, just for a while." ”
In the end, she relented and lent her body to Luo Yun for a quarter of an hour.
She knew that Luo Yun was too fragile at the moment, all these years, he had been supporting him with hatred, and venting this hatred, the whole person was much easier, but it was also much empty.
Perhaps, he should really close his eyes and take a good rest, and think about what he should do when he finally came to this world.
The hall was finally quiet, but it was not quiet at all.
The harem was also broken into, but even so, Xun Zhan was the only one standing in Zhanghua Palace.
He looked at the bodies hugging each other in front of him, his throat was dry, he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything, he could only quietly look at the intertwined figures in front of him, waiting motionlessly.
Luo Yun closed his eyes slightly, put away his arms, took a step back, turned around, and faced the people who had already arrived here, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and said with a smile, "Ah Zhan, you are finally here." ”
It seems that it is not him who is holding Rong Wan weakly. (To be continued.) )
