Chapter 1: The Return
Xu Ruliang heard someone talking, and her voice was very soft and indistinct, which made her feel peaceful. It was not as sharp and sharp as the aggressive echo in the palace cellar, which made her depressed, made her tremble, and made her feel out of breath......
No, it's not. Didn't he swallow his last breath unwillingly in Xu Ning's sneering insult?
Why can I still think, feel warmth, and hear people's voices?
Don't...... Not dead yet?
Xu Ruliang desperately wanted to open his eyes, but his eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and he could only squint a slit with all his strength.
There is light in the eye.
It seemed that she had left the cellar where her fingers could not be seen.
When you see it, it is a pair of blue and blue woven gold gauze tents. And she was in a small lacquered bed, covered with a soft goose yellow brocade quilt.
It seems that she has returned to her boudoir in Pingyang Palace.
There is also a small lacquered bed in the bedroom of Qingxinju, and in spring it is often hung with a thin brocade quilt and a thin brocade quilt.
It has been ten years since I left the Pingyang Palace, but these memories are as clear as if only one day has passed.
Xu Ruliang smiled sadly. I thought I hated this ruthless mansion so much. But why, even if you turn into a soul after death, you still have to come back here to have a look?
Do you miss your youth here so much?
At that time, her brother was still alive, she had not yet entered the palace, and she was the most favored daughter in the Pingyang Palace...... No, that's just an illusion, just an illusion that her father has been performing for a long time in order to make her die for the family!
She was only a victim of the interests of the family and the ambitions of her father......
No!
Why do you still remember these cruel realities and feel these sorrows even if you are dead?
Why can't you forget the pain, like Xu Ning's curse, go to Huangquan Road to chase after your mother, brother, grandfather and aunt, reunite with them, and share the family......
Why do you want to come back here and wander around, remembering all the pain?
Xu Ruliang closed his eyes in pain.
Because of unwillingness, how can you go on the road with peace of mind?
I think she has been cautious and conscientious all her life, thinking that although she is deceiving herself, she is still living a good life, but when she is dying, she finds that her life is full of doubts!
The death of my mother, my brother, and my grandfather are all mysteries!
and Mu Lianxuan.
She trusted him so much, and believed that he would take care of her.
God knows how much she expected him to suddenly appear and rescue her from Xu Ning when the throat of life was choked!
But until she took her last breath, he still didn't show up, didn't go to save her.
Where exactly is he? What are you doing? Do you already know that she was stunned by Xu Ning with drugs, taken out of the cold palace, and died in the dark cellar?
In a trance, the sound of the bead curtain shaking.
A round-faced girl of fifteen or sixteen years old walked into the bedroom with a curtain.
She wore a double bun, wore a blue lotus scattered flower half-arm, and a lilac-colored waist-length skirt.
This is the costume of the first-class maid of the Pingyang Palace.
She was followed by two eleven or twelve-year-old girls, with their hair combed, wearing light lotus flowers and half arms, and a light grass-colored waist-length skirt, the outfit of a second-class maid.
The three of them all came to the bed and looked at it, and then happily folded their hands and proclaimed: "God forbid, the county lord is awake!" ”
Xu Ruliang was just born and was named "Lord of Danyang" by the sixteenth king of the Zhao dynasty, Emperor Yonghe.
Princess...... Woke up...... Can they see her?
Xu Ruliang's expression was stunned, and thoughts flashed between the electric lights and flints, and the hand hidden under the brocade quilt pinched his thigh.
Hurt!
I heard that the soul is ethereal and does not feel pain...... She hurts, so, she's not a soul?
Did she really come back again?
Xu Ruliang couldn't believe it.
Among them, the second-class maid with a melon seed face said to the round-faced maid: "Sister Erqin, the county lord is awake, I will go and sue everyone." ”
The round-faced maid Erqin nodded.
Xu Ruliang hurriedly said: "Don't ......"
The three of them looked at each other at the same time.
It can be seen that they can hear her too.
Things are getting weirder and weirder.
Xu Ruliang clenched his fists, wanting to gather a little strength. I don't know what's going on, I feel my neck is sore, my body is weak, and I feel very weak.
finally got some strength and said, "Let me be quiet first." ”
This qiē is too unbelievable, spare her Xu Ruliang for the next six years, accustomed to seeing the grand trend, in the face of thousands of troops and horses, but also do not change their faces, it still takes a little time to accept and adapt to the anecdote of "resurrection from the dead".
And these people who had disappeared once in her life.
When she entered the palace that year, she didn't bring these maids into the palace, so they stayed in Qingxinju. Within three or four years, they all died at the hands of the lacquer carvings.
And now, they are all standing in front of her alive......
There was silence in the room, making the sounds outside slightly clearer.
A middle-aged woman sneered and said, "Fei Xiang, what do you mean by this?" Could it be that the mother still dares to frame the county lord? ”
Fei Xiang ......
Xu Ruliang raised his eyebrows. Xu Ning's harsh and mocking words came to mind: "Your big maid in charge, the one called Fei Xiang, really doesn't know what to do, my mother is bent on wooing her, but she doesn't know how to lift...... Since she is faithful to you, she will serve you wholeheartedly when you reach the underworld. ”
Fei Xiang said: "The second master and the county lord are still not awake, what the truth is still to be said, how can you conclude that it was the county lord who instigated the second master and the second girl to go to Yanyue Slope based on Zhang's mother's words?" ”
The voice is very gentle, neither humble nor arrogant, and it is the voice that made Xu Ruliang feel peaceful just now.
There was a short silence in between.
Xu Ruliang took the opportunity to ask Erqin: "What happened?" ”
Erqin said: "Don't you remember? In the afternoon, you go to Yanyue Slope with the second master and the second girl to play cricket. The second master rolled into the water and fell unconscious, and you were also knocked unconscious by the second master's ball stick. Zhang's mother said that you instigated the second master and the second girl to go to the Yanyue Slope. Mrs. blamed the slaves and maids for not taking good care of them, and it happened that Ershu was on duty today, so Mrs. asked Mama Wang to take Ershu. ”
In Pingyang Palace, only the original partner is called "princess", and the stepfamily is only called "lady".
This "lady" is Xu Ning's "my mother" who keeps showing off, Xu Ruliang's stepmother, and the lacquer carving smoke.
The second master and the second girl are a pair of children born to Qidiao Yan'er, Xu Chong and Xu Ning.
Xu Ruliang thought about it, this happened in early March of the sixteenth year of Yonghe, when she was eight years old. Because she was severely punished by her father for the first time in her life, she remembered it deeply.
In fact, it wasn't she who encouraged them to play.
She was on a lunch break at the time, and they came to play with her, and then there was an accident.
In order to escape punishment, Xu Chong and the people in Xu Ning's house deduced that she instigated her younger brother and sister to play ball.
Since none of the people in Qingxinju were by her side, they couldn't testify for her, so she couldn't argue. However, Qidiao Yan'er couldn't seriously punish her, so in the end, Ershu took the responsibility of poor care and was killed by a live cane.
And she, although she was not troubled by her stepmother, could not escape the punishment of her father.
Her father personally ordered her to be grounded for half a year.
If it weren't for her brother's hard pleading for her, I was afraid that she would really be punished and grounded for half a year.
But it was precisely because of helping her intercede that her father became more and more dissatisfied with his brother, and there was estrangement and dislike between father and son, and they deviated from morality......
The middle-aged woman said again: "If you have any reason, go to the prince and his wife." ”
I really want to talk about it!
Xu Ruliang turned over and got up.
In the past, she was young and ignorant, unable to protect herself, let alone protect the people around her, so she could only watch them be crushed.
Now that she has grown up, the opportunity is in front of her, can she still do nothing?
Now that she is back, she will do her best to protect her relatives and friends and find the truth, instead of being a lamb to the slaughter again, and a fool who deceives herself again!
Rushed to the window and shouted, "Wait! ”
