Chapter 116: The Past of the East Palace
Song Rumu looked at the little eunuch who was stunned for a while, and felt a burst of dampness and heat in his ears, taking into account the feeling of warmth and numbness, and was shocked, where did Song Rumu take care of the little eunuch who was kicked, not to mention whether he would wake up the sleepwalking Huangfu Tianyou, he could only use all his strength to struggle.
And Xuanling and the little eunuch turned pale almost at the same time, and they were about to catch Song Rumu who wanted to cry with all their might, so as not to really wake up Huangfu Tianyou and break into a catastrophe.
"Take it away...... Take it all away...... What if Prince Ben is left alone? Letting go of Song Rumu's arm, Huangfu Tianyou, who suddenly got up, closed his eyes and said to himself, bathed in the dim moonlight, there was something called sadness lingering all over his body, which made people feel very worried when they looked at it.
After that, Huangfu Tianyou didn't say a word, stumbled out of the door, and Song Rumu suddenly felt as if something was wrong.
Xiao Zhuzi, the eunuch who breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly got up from the ground with his hands and feet, held the crown hat with one hand, picked up the Buddha dust that fell to the ground with the other, and chased after him lightly. Leaving Xuanling and Song Rumu sitting under the bed, looking at the open door in a daze.
"If Your Highness is frightened today, we will all have to die to apologize! No one can escape, the past is going to repeat itself again......" Xuanling, who was sitting on the floor in front of the window, muttered to herself.
If Song Rumu had lit the lamp at this time to inspect, he could see that Xuanling's clothes had already been soaked with cold sweat. It's a pity that Song Rumu didn't turn on the lights and didn't have the mind, so she couldn't see Xuanling's pale face and cold sweat, she just thought that Xuanling was so stupid and loyal that she took care of His Royal Highness the Prince, and didn't take into account her feelings at all.
Let Xuanling sit in place, Song Rumu wiped her hot ears hard, and came to the courtyard alone with an unrelieved heart, and sat on the steps and stared at the crescent moon in the sky.
The cool breeze in the night gently blew on his face, but it couldn't cool the irritability in Song Rumu's heart at all. Thinking about everything that has happened in the past half a month since she entered the palace, including the experience of nine deaths and a lifetime, although she tried her best to maintain a normal heart. But it was destined that such a strange thing still happened? Or is it human?
From Lu Yixuan's confession to meeting the lord of Allure in the palace, and then to Huangfu Tianyou saving her, what kind of line is this? Who is she Song Rumu going to blame? complained about Lu Yixuan's peach blossom debt. Or do you complain about Mu Chengcheng, who has already left Beijing? Or is it a resentment of the rare kindness of the emperor?
Outside, Song Rumu finally calmed down slowly and decided to figure out why Huangfu Tianyou always sleepwalked to him, so he got up and prepared to go back to the house to ask Xuanling what was going on.
Inside, a faint moonlight penetrated through the open door. shines on Xuanling's usually fair and delicate face, and the pale color is fully revealed. Song Rumu was startled, hurriedly stepped forward to hold Xuanling's hands, and found that the other party's hands were so cold that they hurriedly kicked it into her arms, and asked out loud, "Xuanling, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Girl, we're not going to die, are we? Prince Fang Cai wasn't awakened, was he? Xuanling said pitifully, Song Rumu was disgusted in her heart, and at the same time, she shouted in an unfriendly tone: "What can't die...... There is nothing like you. Talking these words all day long at a young age? Tell me what the hell is going on. ”
"I can't say it, I'm really going to die if I say it...... Girl, sister, don't ask me, I don't know anything......" Xuanling kept repeating and muttered that she didn't know anything, but her trembling body betrayed her deeply, making Song Rumu more and more sure, Xuanling definitely knew the reason.
Therefore, Song Rumu tried not to let herself be swayed by emotions, opened her arms and gently hugged Xuanling, and told her in a voice that couldn't be softer, "It's going to be fine, everything will be fine."
This almost hypnotic soothing lasted for about a cup of tea before Xuanling slowly stopped trembling. Quiet and well-behaved, like a kitten, crawling in Song Rumu's arms.
When Song Rumu tried to ask Xuanling again, this time Xuanling was only silent for a while, and told the story like a memory, but it was a pity. Xuanling only heard a little from Xuanling, who had already left the palace.
It is said that before the prince's serious illness, the East Palace had been continuously stolen, and the queen used this as an excuse to replace the guards around the crown prince Fu Tianyou, as well as the palace maids, grandmothers and others. After that, those people disappeared one after another. It wasn't until the prince returned from a serious illness in the Guozhang Mansion that the queen had no time to manage the harem because she was taking care of the critically ill prince, so the favored Concubine Yu was ordered by the emperor. temporarily took charge of the harem, that is, after that, everyone heard that almost all the people around the prince were sent out of the palace within a month before and after.
I secretly said in my heart, "Is there a problem with this?" But Xuanling's body began to tremble again, and Song Rumu couldn't ask, so she only carefully coaxed Xuanling and asked Xuanling to speak slowly.
It turned out that what scared Xuanling was.
Not long after the prince recovered his health, Concubine Yu, who went to inquire about the archives out of curiosity, died violently, and the harem then passed another bloody day. Since then, there has been a private saying in the palace that the palace people who were dismissed from the palace had actually died somewhere long ago, and the reason why the prince was seriously ill was because those people came back to ask for their lives.
Listening to the old people in the East Palace, the prince has been suffering from sleepwalking since then. When the young prince was awakened by sleepwalking for the first time, he drew his sword and assassinated everyone around him in panic and fear. And afterwards, the queen blamed and threw some of them out of the palace, of course, she didn't know whether to get out of the palace or give them death.
After finishing speaking, Xuanling said with a painful look on her face: "It's all Xuanling's bad, before Sister Xuanling left the palace, she once told me to take good care of His Royal Highness, especially after going to bed at night." ”
Although Song Rumu was confused by Xuanling's words, these also reminded Song Rumu, and she suddenly remembered the legend she had heard in her previous life, that is, after a person sleepwalking was awakened by a friend, he strangled his friend to death on the spot, and he also had schizophrenia. If Huangfu Tianyou was awakened, would he also have schizophrenia or some kind of irritability? And Xuanling's worries are not random, at least the queen, who is the biological mother of the prince, will not let others spread unfavorable news to the prince in this harem.
No, although she was a little sympathetic to Huangfu Tianyou's experience, if Huangfu Tianyou sleepwalked over again and repeated what she did today, she thought she would still be unable to control herself. So she couldn't stay in this palace for a moment, it was a terrible place as the legend goes, if she stayed any longer. I'm afraid it's the father and brother of the family, and they can't even see her bones.
The two hugged each other and stayed up until dawn, Xuanling kept talking about something, in fact, as long as she was really good to the prince. The prince will be very fond of each other and things like that. Fortunately, the little eunuch who followed him before may be very familiar with Xuanling, so when the sky was bright, he secretly ran back and told Xuanling that although the prince was sleeping unsteadily. But in the end I still fell asleep.
Xuanling immediately cried quietly, and the little eunuch also cried with joy.
All kinds of helpless actions, Song Rumu can no longer blame the two people in front of her, she can only sigh in her heart, and make up her mind in her heart, when Huangfu Tianyou returns to the palace to rest at noon, she will ask him to go home, this time no matter what Huangfu Tianyou says, she will go home.
Huangfu Tianyou heard Song Rumu's request to go home again this time, but he didn't say anything, but only waved his hand to agree. One hand kept rubbing his temple, indicating that the man had not slept peacefully last night.
Song Rumu didn't expect it to be so simple this time, so she squatted down and thanked her, and followed Xuanling back to the room where she was temporarily staying to pack up her things. In fact, she didn't have anything to pack, she just wanted to change into the clothes she wore on the day she entered the palace.
When I returned to the room, there were a few palace maids waiting there, and after seeing Song Rumu, they all squatted down and saluted, and put on a set of gorgeous clothes for Song Rumu, saying that it was a reward from the queen's mother, and all other rewards had been put in the carriage. Song Rumu was stunned. But when I think about it, it was the queen who summoned her to the palace, especially the reason why she stayed in the palace was that the queen liked her, and these rewards were just to confirm this statement, and she didn't accept it in vain.
After dressing properly. Song Rumu secretly stuffed all the remaining silver taels on her body to Xuanling, and told Xuanling not to tell anyone about what happened last night, otherwise they would really die. Xuanling naturally nodded obediently, and said that in the past few nights, no one else knows except her and the eunuch Xiao Zhuzi, as for Xiao Zhuzi. He's certainly not going to talk to anyone.
As a result, Song Rumu was anxiously surrounded by people in front of the palace gate and took the carriage back to the Imperial History Mansion. The heavy mood made Song Rumu reluctant to think about Xuanling's reluctance, and even more reluctant to look back at the weird palace, so she only urged the carriage to speed up and gallop in the direction of home.
Song Han and Song Nianzhi have entered the palace in the Imperial History Mansion, so only the trustworthy Song Mama and Chayu and others ran to greet Song Rumu with a smile on their faces, and Song Rumu's heart for many days of entanglement came to naught, and she threw herself into Song Mama's arms with a smile like a flower, like all the little daughters saw their mothers, and took an intimate bite of "Mama ......"
Song Rumu was Mama Song is her mother in this life, and Mama Song regarded Song Rumu as her granddaughter earlier, so the two of them looked at each other carefully, inch by inch, and couldn't bear to give up a little change.
"Mu'er, you have lost ...... weight"
"Mama, you have lost ...... weight"
The two said almost in unison, but they couldn't help but laugh after speaking. Mama Song hugged Song Rumu, who had fallen into her arms, and said lovingly: "You said that the food and accommodation in that palace are top-notch!" How can you lose weight? This face doesn't look as rosy as it did before entering the palace."
"What's the ...... Mama must have wanted Mu'er, so she saw that Mu'er had lost weight. Mu'er saw that Mama had lost a lot of weight! Song Rumu smiled coquettishly, and then changed the topic: "Ah, that's right...... Mama, Mu'er really wants to eat the braised pork you made, and I drooled when I was in the palace."
Mama Song also said that it was true, so she touched Song Rumu's pink face for a long time, and said with a smile: "Xiao Mu'er wants to eat, Mama will go and make it for you......"
Song Rumu, who returned home here, hugged the braised pork cooked by Mama Song herself, and ate happily. Over there, the crown prince of the East Palace, Fu Tianyou, was invited by the queen's inner attendants to the queen's dormitory - Chonghua Hall after seeing Song Rumu out of the palace from afar.
