Chapter 309: The Old Courtyard Falls [1]
Xu Silk approached with a dim lantern, and a face with ravines and ravines looked particularly deep in the shadow of the candle.
Zhu Yan felt that her current appearance was almost no different from the easy-looking face she had when she first met.
But Xu Suzhen, is she still the enlightened mother who is willing to do anything with her?
"Is my mother trying to stop me?" She thought, Xu Suzhen was able to rush back at this time, she should already know everything, right? At least, at least, she'll hear something from the wind.
Xu Suzhen didn't affirm or deny it, but just handed her the felt cloak hanging from her arm, "What about the letter?" ”
That letter, that letter that briefly reads "Wangqing cherishes himself......
Zhu Yan smiled, "It's burned." ”
Yuan Rin's last letter to her, how could she really just write those sixteen words? She pondered for a long time, and finally roasted the rest of the handwriting on the fire, and then burned it.
No one knows what is going on except them.
Xu Suzhen's face did not change at all, as if everything was within her expectations.
"So, is Mother going to stop me?" Zhu Yan tightened her cloak, her neck shrunk into the fluffy fur, and her weak voice trembled in the cold wind, "Mother should have guessed that I was going to Koshien." ”
Xu Suzhen nodded slowly, and spit out a few words in a low voice, "I'll send you there." ”
Zhu Yan was stunned for a moment, almost unable to believe what he heard, his originally lazy, unshiny eyes glared at the boss, "You...... Say what? ”
"I'll send you." Xu Suzhen repeated it without any waves.
"Do you know, what is Yan going to do?" Zhu Yan asked again uncertainly.
Xu Silk Zhen should know. When she went to Koshien this time, she didn't have the heart to go out there again.
Xu Silk Zhen nodded, "Don't leave again." It was getting dark. ”
After getting into the car prepared by Xu Silk Zhen in advance, Zhu Yan kept looking at the scenery outside.
Whether it's a distraction, nostalgia for the world, or fear that Xu Suzhen will deliberately take her elsewhere - Zhu Yan doesn't care what others think of her anymore.
She had only one clear purpose in mind.
"Ah Yan, do you know the road in the garden?" Xu Suzhen's old voice sounded faintly.
Zhu Yan was stunned for a moment, in this life, she didn't have time to recognize the intricate roads in the garden, but she had lived in the garden for several years in her previous life. You can still remember a little, right?
Xu Suzhen saw that her face was solemn, and her withered branch-like hand reached into her sleeve and took out a drawing.
"The layout of Koshien ......" Zhu Yan was stunned. Her miraculous mother is really omnipotent, "Where did the mother come from?" Did Xuanqing hand it over to you? Did he expect me to go back? ”
"You're thinking too highly of him." Xu Suzhen glanced at her, and her lifeless eyes were reflected in the morning light outside. "There is still love in a person's heart. I didn't think about it thoroughly, but your mother and I did not lose in this point, so although I am old, I am of great use. ”
Zhu Yan saw pride in her eyes, something she had never seen before, the pride of this woman with no appearance and family background to speak of.
"So, did my mother ever have one?"
Xu Suzhen nodded affirmatively, but was reluctant to reveal more.
Zhu Yan couldn't guess. The person she identified was Zhu Heng, who treated her well. Or the swallow's father.
By the time we arrived at Koshien, it was already dark.
The side door was unguarded, and Zhu Yan easily slipped in from there.
Before entering the Koshien Garden, she stood at the foot of the stairs and rubbed for a while, but she couldn't help but ask Xu Suzhen why she was willing to help her.
Xu Suzhen replied like this: "There are some feelings in this world that may only be ended by death, if you think it will be better, then your mother will not stop you." ”
She thought that Xu Suzhen really loved her, because there was a lot of pain in this world, and it was really worse than death when she experienced it.
Xu Silk Zhen let her choose, this is the real compassion for her.
Zhu Yan handed over a pair of butterfly hairpins to Xu Suzhen, and then entered the garden and never looked back.
The garden was still as quiet as before, so quiet that there was no trace of life, which was creepy.
Zhu Yan walked a few steps, and then realized that there was a lot of change in the garden this time.
The dense clumps of oleanders were past their flowering period, and the deep pink flowers were scattered to the ground, some with unfading colors, staining the earth scarlet.
The evergreen leaves are dull dark green all year round, making the color of the fallen flowers even more peculiar.
Zhu Yan had never seen such a strange scene, but she didn't have time to be distracted, there was never a shortage of mechanisms in the Koshi Garden, and she didn't want to be defeated by the traps before she found Yuan Rin.
Zhu Yan dismantled the last mechanism according to the drawings Xu Suzhen gave her, and the stuffiness in her heart made her have to stop and hide her body in a hidden flower lattice to rest.
The inside of this lattice is covered with tulle, so that the light from the outside can penetrate through the tulle, but the people inside will not be seen from the outside.
"No, don't ...... so fast" Zhu Yan leaned on the flower stand, leaning his soft body against the wall completely, and clutching his chest tightly with one hand.
She definitely can't hold on at this time.
The pain in my heart eased slightly, and I just wanted to move out of the flower stand, but my ears keenly caught a little chaotic footsteps.
A dark purple shadow came from that side of the corridor.
Zhu Yan froze for a moment, looked down at her clothes, and quietly unbuttoned her ink-colored cloak and threw it into the room, so that she was dressed in white and could be completely covered by the white veil.
The person who came seemed to be Dou Sui, and she saw it very clearly, it was indeed Dou Sui.
Never said he was dead.
However, this is not surprising, after all, even she herself is a "dead" person, and fraudulent death is not unusual at all for those who are proficient in the art of power.
But to be able to hide from Xu Silk Zhen and them, Dou Sui is still quite strange.
Zhu Yan didn't know how Dou Sui would appear here or what his intentions were, but she was sure that Dou Sui would pass by here soon.
But unfortunately, at the other end of the corridor, a small figure came out, which was Dou An......
He was a little taller than before, and his voice was still childish, but his tone was much more sophisticated.
"Father." Dou An stopped, not far from where Zhu Yan was hiding.
Zhu Yan couldn't help but hold her breath, her slender fingers retracted into her sleeves, grabbed a few silk bags, and rubbed the handwriting on them with embroidery thread - she had brought some poison, originally planned to use it to kill herself, but now it seems that maybe she has to use it to defend herself?
"Xiao An, where is Yuan Xuanqing?" There was a hint of rapid gasping in Dou Sui's voice, and it sounded very persecutive.
Zhu Yan couldn't help but tighten his heart for this child, he was supposed to be the father he relied on, but now he has become this menacing appearance, not even a little face project, which child can not be cold? (To be continued......)
