Chapter 508: Suffering

A letter of peace, a chair, this big and small share the comfort sent by the concerned people.

"This passage says that your brother Fulu said that he and Shigong followed the caravan selling spices along the Silk Road to the territory of Gaochang in the Western Regions, and Shigong is going to take him into the desert to find a strange thing, the golden scorpion."

"Scorpions?!"

As soon as he heard these two words, worry flashed on his face.

"Such a dangerous and terrible thing, why did my father and brother catch it, what if they were bitten? There was no doctor with him. ”

"Little fool, aren't Shigong and your brother Fulu the doctor? Look at what you're worried about, your face is wrinkled into a little old woman. ”

Turning his head to look at the timid and restless Xie in his arms, Zhu Xishi tightened his arms a little and said softly.

"Don't worry, your master is the most famous doctor in the world, and you will be fine with him and your brother Fulu. Your brother Fulu said in his letter that there are many good things in the market that we can't eat here, such as grapes with a milky taste, honeydew melons with a refreshing and sweet taste, lamb meat that is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and naan that is crispy and delicious."

Breaking his fingers one by one to relieve his worries, even Zhu Xishi at this time was a little fascinated; You must know what a pleasant thing it is to be free in this land of China.

"Auntie, I heard my father say that the weather in that place in the Western Regions is very abnormal, is it true?"

"Yes, the weather is not as regular as our Central Plains, and there will be a big change sooner or later. There is a saying there, 'wear a jacket in the morning, wear a yarn in the afternoon, and eat watermelon around the fire', do you know what it means? ”

Curiosity was hooked up by Zhu Xishi. But for those who are still inexperienced, this proverb is undoubtedly too profound, and the head instantly shakes like a rattle.

That's what it means. In the morning, the weather is as cold as a cold winter wax moon, and you have to wear a thick jacket when you go out; But at noon, when the sun is poisonous, the place will become as hot as summer, and you must take off your jacket and change into a cool and breathable gauze; As soon as the sun sets, the weather drops down rapidly, so the people there have to warm themselves around the stove while eating watermelon. ”

"How can there be such a place with such strange weather? Aunt. Do you think brother, can they adapt? ”

The sentence of relieving worries was asked into Zhu Xishi's heart. In the land of Gaochang in the Western Regions, the temperature difference between day and night is very large, and Fulu's child suffers from snacks. Zhu Xishi wasn't too worried about not being able to survive the weather changes, but Baili Sheng's old cold legs didn't know if they could hold it, and he was also worried about ups and downs in his heart.

"Forget it, let's not worry about it here. They are now traveling. We are also beyond the reach of the whip in Lin'an City. We can only pray that they are safe and sound along the way. ”

Thousands of miles away, Xie Wei knew that even if she stood on the highest pagoda in Lin'an City, she couldn't see the back of the person she thought about day and night.

The sky is far away, and only the breeze and clouds send a sincere prayer.

"After returning to the palace, I will definitely go to the small Buddha hall every day to kowtow to the Buddha and bless Brother Fulu and Shi Ping'an."

A sincere statement was amazing, and Zhu Xishi smiled. Stroking her hair bun was comforting.

"Our little princess is really sensible."

Affectionately resting his head on his shoulder, soft as a cotton bale. Zhu Xi's whole body and mind were soothed; The atmosphere is very good, taking advantage of this rare comfort, Zhu Xishi reconciled the worries of this little girl and gossiped often.

"Ah Heng."

"Yes, Auntie."

"Your father is in the palace, which lady does he love the most?"

"Concubine."

Don't think about it, you can respond to Zhu Xishi's question in one bite.

"Really? It's really her. ”

Suddenly, as soon as Chu Zhen'er was mentioned, Xie Wei's little face was filled with displeasure, and he said stubbornly.

"If my mother is still here, where will it be her turn to be favored. A bad woman, with a smiling face in front of her, can be bad behind her! ”

These words attracted Zhu Xishi's attention, how old was Xie Wei, who was blowing some crooked wind at the root of her ear?

"How do you know it's a bad woman?"

"I saw it with my own eyes."

My heart trembled, what did this girl see? Zhu Xishi suddenly cheered up and asked carefully.

"Saw it with your own eyes? Ah Heng, what did you see, can you tell your aunt? ”

The muffled voice of her face was much thicker, and her little hands kept turning over the tassel knot around her waist, as if this situation made the little girl nervous; Sensing her discomfort, Zhu Xishi also suddenly came back to his senses and said apologetically.

"Ah Heng, it's aunt who is wrong, you don't want to say it, we don't say it."

"She used to want to kill me."

When he constricted his arms to Zhu Xishi, he could clearly feel the child's fear; And when this matter was heard in Zhu Xishi's ears, there was also a sense of appalling.

"How could she poison you?"

"I don't know." replied timidly, Xie Wei bit his lip a few times, and continued to whisper: "When I was five years old, I played with a few little palace maids flying kites near the lotus pond in the Imperial Garden; At that time, my hands were clumsy, and the kite could not be put into the sky. When I was in a hurry, suddenly a palace maid came to me and told me that she was very good at flying kites, so I didn't care too much when I was happy, and asked her to fly kites with me. ”

"She was very skillful, and under her teaching, the kite was launched into the sky in no two clicks. At that time, I was probably overjoyed, but I didn't realize that she was leading me towards the lotus pond step by step; When I realized that half of my foot was hanging in the air, and I was about to withdraw my foot, suddenly a sharp push from behind me suddenly pushed me into the lotus pond. ”

Although I didn't see the scene at that time, I could tell such a vicious thing from the mouth of a child, and the heart that Zhu Xi was carrying was suddenly pierced by some sharp weapon. If he still had any pity for this Chu Zhen'er before, then at this moment, Zhu Xishi only felt that it was too light to attack her Chu Zhen'er!

"You're just a child, what threat can you have, she can do it!"

"Who called her a bad woman with a very bad heart?"

In his big eyes, tears overflowed unconsciously, and he lowered his head and said with some self-reproach.

"In order to save me, the nurse who arrived at that time jumped off the lotus pond without hesitation, but she contracted typhoid fever when I got better, and left in the palace before half a month.

In the secret meeting with Jiang De, Zhu Xishi heard a little about this nurse Lin's family, and he didn't want to restore the integrity in the mouth of worry, but he contained such a dirty and vicious truth.

In a hurry, Zhu Xishi also hurriedly said.

"Since you know the truth, why don't you tell your father and let him make decisions for you?"

Xie Wei shook his head, and said with a dejected face.

"Ah Heng also learned a long time later that the palace maid who pushed me down the lotus pond was a person from the Bad Women's Palace. I told my father, but before my father could send someone to catch the palace maid and torture her, she jumped into the well and cut herself. My father has always favored her, saying that she is the righteous sister of my mother and will not harm me" (to be continued......)
