I closed my eyes, only to feel a sharp stabbing pain in my heart, for more than a month, every time I thought of him, my heart hurt like a knife, how could this be? Why is this happening? I pressed my chest tightly, my body curled up, shivering, cold sweat broke out, and in a few moments my clothes were wet. The first few times I had each attack, there was Jade Die'er who took my luck to resist the pain that suffocated me, but now that Jade Die'er was gone, I knew that this pain was so unbearable. I couldn't think about him, or I would faint in pain, I tried to focus my thoughts on the situation in front of me, the pain eased a little, my body relaxed, and my consciousness had fallen into darkness.

The boat has been traveling for five days, but Jade Die'er has not appeared. In a state of great anxiety, I was finally taken to Myojin Island by the warship, and despite the bad mood of being exiled and the hidden advantages of safety and future, this is indeed a beautiful island like a dream, with cherry blossom trees and pink and white petals fluttering in the wind like snowflakes. I was taken to a traditional Yue-style courtyard, and it seemed that the folk customs and national conditions of the Red Yue Kingdom were really like the ancient sayings of my previous life. There was a samurai guarding the saber outside the courtyard, I was not allowed to step out of the courtyard, I could only move in the courtyard, there was only one maid in the courtyard, fourteen or fifteen years old, she looked very good-eyed, but unfortunately I didn't understand her language, so I basically couldn't communicate with her, she just brought me food into the room every day according to the regulations, cleaned the room and scrubbed the floor, and took away the dirty clothes I changed. It is worth mentioning that there is a small hot spring pool in this courtyard, it is very convenient to take a bath, and when you open the door from the room, there is a hot spring soup under the corridor, and the layout is like a hot spring hotel in this house.

I lived in the courtyard for a few days, and Momiji came to visit me every day, but her kindness only made me feel that it was a kind of surveillance in disguise, and she still didn't have a good face. I haven't seen anyone else except her, and I'm also happy, every day in addition to sleeping, soaking in hot springs, is to play backgammon with myself, there are books in this room, and they are all Chinese characters of the Tiancao Kingdom, but I have always felt that it is too tiring to read ancient books with no punctuation in vertical layout, and I don't bother with that god. After a few days of such peace, a guest came to the courtyard. When he came, I was wearing a kimono, my hair tied in a ponytail, sitting on the edge of the corridor, soaking my feet in the hot springs, and a chessboard beside me. Seeing Hongye come in with him, I just raised my eyebrows slightly, neither saluting nor greeting, with an indifferent face. Instead, he bowed slightly, and smiled elegantly: "Mrs. Yun." ”

"It's really an accident to see the Ninth Master here." I smiled, "The concubine is a prisoner who has been taken captive, I don't know what identity the ninth master is here?" ”

"What prisoner can be as at ease as Madame Yun?" Jiuwangjun Qianyi smiled, his eyes swept over my bare feet and bare calves in the hot springs, and then fell to the chessboard beside me, and smiled slightly: "Backgammon? ”

"Ninth Master knows?" I was a little surprised. He smiled: "I once played with the imperial brother, and it turns out that this chess is from Mrs. Yun." ”

His attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, seeing that I am untidy, a pair of bare feet soaked in the water, and he is not like ordinary men who talk about indecent things, and his eyes are open, generous and natural, but there is no sense of triviality. He knelt down on the opposite side of the chessboard and smiled, "How about Qianyi accompany Mrs. to the next game?" ”

"Very good." I glanced at Momiji, and saw that she looked at the Nine Kings with respectful eyes, trying her best to be indifferent, but there was a trace of complicated emotions fluctuating in her eyes. It seems that her thoughts about the Nine Kings are true, and I can't help laughing at myself in my heart, but she always said a half-sentence of truth to me, so that my self-esteem will not be frustrated to the end.

Jun Qianyi knows how to play, but it may be because he doesn't play this chess often, he was quickly introduced into the trap by me, one is blocked here, the other side must not be blocked, he put it aside, and chuckled: "Seeing that Qianyi is about to win, I didn't expect Mrs. to set up a game here, but she came back to life and forced Qianyi into defeat." ”

"So, even if you are in a desperate situation, don't give up hope, maybe there will be a turnaround in the next moment." I smiled faintly and set aside my chess pieces. Jun Qianyi looked at me steadily, his eyes were so different from the emperor, the emperor's eyes were too intimidating, and his eyes were clear every time he saw them, so clear that they were bottomless and suspicious, how could a man who had lived in the deep palace since he was a child have such clear eyes? Even a person like Yun Zheng who has no desire and a person who is as calm and detached as Feng Ge does not have such clear eyes, "when the water is clear, there is no fish", it is too clear, is it too scheming to cover up?

"Madame is confident? Still not clear about the current situation? The Nine Kings smiled and said, "In this environment, you can still be calm and laughing, if it is another woman, I am afraid there is no other way but to cry and plead." ”

"Can crying and pleading change the situation?" I laughed at myself, is he sarcastic about my ignorance and fearlessness, "I heard that the ninth master believes in Zen, have you heard the story of the three requests for Guanyin?" ”

"I want to hear about it." Jun Qianyi smiled, as if she was a little interested. I smiled and said lightly: "There was a person hiding from the rain under the eaves and saw Guanyin walking by with an umbrella. The man said, 'Guanyin Bodhisattva, please purify all sentient beings, how about taking me for a while?' Guanyin said, 'I am in the rain, you are under the eaves, and there is no rain under the eaves, you don't need me to live.' Immediately the man jumped out from under the eaves, stood in the rain, and said, 'Now that I am in the rain, it is time for me, right?' Guanyin said, 'You are in the rain, and I am in the rain, and I am not drenched, because I have an umbrella; You are drenched in the rain because there is no umbrella. So it's not me who lives myself, but who I do. If you want to do it, you don't have to look for me, please find your own umbrella! Then he left. The next time, this person encountered another difficulty, so he went to the temple to ask Guanyin. When I walked into the temple, I found that there was also a person worshipping in front of the statue of Guanyin, and that person looked exactly like Guanyin. The man asked, 'Are you Guanyin?' The man replied, 'I am Guanyin.' Then he asked: 'Then why do you worship yourself?' Guanyin smiled and said, "I have also encountered difficulties, but I know that it is better to ask for others than for myself." This story tells us that those who succeed save themselves. When you encounter a difficult situation, just crying or begging others to save you, it is better to face it calmly and solve it by yourself. ”

Jun Qianyi's eyes carried a hint of realization and abruptness, and said with a smile: "It's Qianyi's rudeness." ”

The maid brought food over, saw the nine kings and red leaves, and knelt down to salute. Jiuwang got up and said, "Qianyi will not disturb Madame's meal, and will come to visit Madame again." ”

"The concubine will not be sent." I nodded. Momiji glanced at me, stopped talking, and saw that I had a cold attitude, so he finally followed the Nine Kings out without saying a word. I got up and walked inside, and the maid put the lunch box on the low dining table in the room and exited the room. I saw that there were delicate seafood sashimi, eel rolls, and sushi in the lunch box, and I smiled faintly, although I was a prisoner without freedom, but I lived well and ate well, and I was polite to me.

I took a crab roe sushi and put it in my mouth, just bit it down, felt something wrong, spit out the sushi in my mouth into the plate, pulled it twice with chopsticks, and saw a small wax ball. I was stunned, quickly picked up the wax pill, crushed it, took out the small note inside, and saw that the note read: "Find a way to meet the cook." "There is a butterfly fluttering in the register. I'm ecstatic in my heart, Jade Die'er, you're here.
