117. Extra: The Night of the West (3)
"Yes", I reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes and said quietly, "Why are you crying?" ”
"...... She ...... "her eyes were red, and tears were pouring down," she was gone...... The slave has been hiding it, thinking that you don't know, the prince...... Don't be too sad, prince......"
"I'm not sad", I replied lightly, walked to the dressing mirror, wiped the bloodshot from the corners of my mouth, stared at the face covered with mud that had just been bullied, and ordered her behind her, "I'm tired, help me freshen up." ”
Wei Rong obediently walked up to me, fetched warm water, carefully wiped my face with tender eyes, and applied some ointment, before sending me to the bed, after tucking the quilt, she did not wait for me to close my eyes and leave, but sat down next to the bed.
"Anything else?" I stared at her.
"Sixth prince, you can sleep at ease, the slave will guard you." She smiled.
I looked at her for a long time, and was silent for a while, "I don't need to." ”
She was stunned for a moment, but she still didn't quit, took off her shoes, lay down on my couch with her clothes, and hugged me into her arms.
A fresh fragrance hit my nose, and I was a little stunned.
"The six princes forgive the sin, the slave and maid are offended", Wei Rong hugged me, "The slave and maid's bed seems to be broken, and it has not yet had time to be repaired, so it has to be so." ”
I paused for a long time and looked up at her, and she had closed her eyes, peaceful and peaceful, as if she had fallen asleep.
The smell of Wei Rong's body is light, as if there is nothing, lying in the crook of her arm, she can smell the milky smell of childhood greed.
I didn't like the touch of others, but the embrace of Comfort Rong made me tired, and my heavy eyelids held up a few times, and then I fell into a deep sleep.
After comforting Rong, he always leaned on my couch and hugged me to sleep every night.
One night, she looked at my cheek and sighed softly, "The sixth prince will marry a concubine and give birth to a child in the future, and this bed slave will be unavoidable." ”
I didn't say anything, I turned around and twisted to the side, "Wei Rong, you better go to other palaces." "Staying by my side only makes her more tired and mishaps.
Wei Rong behind me was quiet, I closed my eyes and fell asleep, and after a long time, I noticed the abnormality, turned around, and saw that Wei Rong was actually crying, covering my lips and trying my best to endure crying.
"Isn't it good for the slave and maid to serve, the six princes don't drive the slave and maid away, the slave and maid will serve you well in this life...... If you think that the slave and maid have disturbed you, the slave and maid will stay and go back to the house, and beg the prince not to drive the slave and maid away......"
As she spoke, she ran down to the bed, stepping barefoot on the cold floor.
I paused for a long time, unable to say a word, before finally jumping out of bed and grabbing the corner of her dress.
She stopped, turned her face, broke into a smile, and hugged me, "The slave knows that the six princes are reluctant. ”
With that, she kissed me on the cheek, and my cheek began to burn like a fire.
"The sixth prince, the slave and the maid are waiting for you, in the future, will you marry the slave and the maid?"
I looked at her side, "Do you want me to marry you?" ”
"The slave maid kissed you, you are responsible", she smiled, her eyes were like autumn water, "The slave maid knows that the six princes are by no means things in the pool, they are the characters who reign over the world." ”
"Domination?" I muttered these four words, "What's the use?" ”
"If you are in the world, you will be able to protect what you want to keep", Wei Rong stared at my eyes, and that gaze penetrated into the bottom of my heart, "If you are in the world, no one can easily destroy your things." ”
"Guardian...... Stuff ......"
I looked at my palm, pondered, and slowly, raised my head, "Then, can I guard you, Wei Rong?" ”
Wei Rong smiled brightly and movingly, and stretched out her fingers, "Pull the hook, it's an appointment." ”
She smiled lightly, my expression was very solemn, my face was unnaturally red, I hung down, stretched out my fingers and hurriedly hooked her slender fingers, closed my eyes and buried my face in the futon, and pretended to be asleep.
On weekdays, I am still silent, and I only say something when I am alone with Wei Rong.
She always asks someone to get some new things to come back to me from outside the palace, sugar people, rock sugar gourds, apricot blossom cakes, jujube paste nuts......
I don't like these things, but when I saw her happy and expectant face, I endured the sweetness and stuffed it into my stomach.
One day, I went to the palace to borrow a book, and read a foreign kung fu record at random, and when I returned to the palace, I picked up the sword and made a few strokes, and I practiced a good move.
With a red face, I turned around and saw Wei Rong behind me with a smile on her face, "The prince actually knows martial arts?" ”
I looked at the sword in my hand, "Is this called martial arts?" ”
"Of course, if your martial arts are high, you won't be afraid of being bullied by others!" Wei Rong held a silk handkerchief in her hand to wipe the sweat drops on my forehead, "The sixth prince is so powerful!" ”
I often blush in front of Wei Rong, and when I am praised by her, a kind of ignorant happiness will flood in my heart.
I collected the few books on martial arts records in the palace, and practiced hard in the courtyard before noon every day, Wei Rong always prepared tea and desserts, looked at me with bright eyes, and looked at me tightly with her chin in her hands.
For me, there is nothing particularly worth protecting, but I don't want to lose anything again.
What I don't want to lose is comfort.
In the whole world, she is the only one who can accompany me.
*****************************************
A year has passed since the death of the mother, it is a cold night, the palace provokes red lanterns, it is the Chinese New Year's Eve Spring Festival, the monarch has set up a stage in the palace, the concubines have gone one after another, and the palace maids and inner supervisors have all gone to watch the flowers and enjoy the play.
Wei Rong sewed new clothes for me with her own hands, a light green robe, covered with a white jacket, and wore it on her body, which was very warm.
She rarely has an interest in appreciating the opera, and I can't get close to the palace, so I let her go.
Wei Rong promised my son to come back to accompany me from time to time, so I sat in the lobby of the side palace and waited alone, holding in my hand the hosta that I had quietly brought to my father-in-law Ye a few days ago, and engraved a Rong character with a sword.
While I was waiting, I flipped through a book, which was very complicated about martial arts, and after reading it, I felt that the moves were a little ruthless, because the first sentence of the opening chapter was written.
This calligraphy exercises, the moves are fatal and ruthless, if you shoot, you will hurt people's lives.
I put the book beside me and looked out the window at the sky, half an hour had passed.
The side of the palace was already quiet, the stage was removed, the fireworks were also dark, and the whole long night was silent.
So, I stepped out of the room, anxious to find comfort.
I don't want to, but from today onwards, Wei Rong let me understand......
Slaughter!
***********************************************
"The sixth waste, what are you still doing by his side, or come to the prince as soon as possible, and let you eat and drink spicy food, gold and silver are indispensable."
Near the cold palace, where Wei Rong set off fireworks for me on my birthday, I hid in a dark corner, and saw King Wei holding Wei Rong into his arms, smiling evilly and looking disdainful.
I clenched the short blade on my waist, and was about to rush forward to stop King Wei's harassment of Wei Rong, but I saw her shrink into King Wei's arms, and her body trembled with laughter, "What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is extremely true, and the slave and maid are also unwilling, but your queen mother, such as the concubine, wants the slave to stay by the side of Concubine Mei to do internal response, this is eight years, Concubine Mei is dead, and the slave and maid can't go back." ”
She hugged King Wei's neck, and her voice was even more coquettish, "The slave maid thinks about you the prince every day and every night, the six princes are generally wooden, and they can't speak, so boring." ”
The arm resting on my waist froze for a moment, and the coldness of the short blade made it difficult for me to recover.
"Thanks to your cleverness, you came up with a plan to lure Concubine Yun to go to celebrate her birthday, and her mother followed it again, and my father grabbed it on the spot, and beheaded the concubine Mei not to mention, but also in addition to Concubine Yun", the muscles on King Wei's face were like a spider web full of yellow mud, and the hideous smile made them knot together, "You are indispensable, this prince will say a few kind words to his mother and take you back." ”
Wei Rong was pressed down on the grass by King Wei, moaned a few times obscenely, and pushed King Wei, "His Royal Highness the Prince, it's time for the slave and maid to go back, that fool is still waiting for the slave and maid in the palace!" ”
"Then let him wait!"
King Wei hurriedly tore Wei Rong's clothes, and Wei Rong also laughed, "The sixth prince is indeed a fool, the day Concubine Mei died, the slave maid took him out, you don't know how happy he laughed!" He didn't know that his mother had arrived at the intersection of Huangquan Road for him, haha! It is also said that Concubine Mei understands that he is an unlucky thing and hates him, but she is still distressed that no one congratulates him on his birthday, so she quietly released her words for him, and those who came to the palace to celebrate her birthday on the seventh day of March had the opportunity to see the world-famous singing and dancing talents of Concubine Mei, but those men who came were so easy to satisfy, and it became a peachy deal after a long time. Concubine Mei, she lost her body and her life, and what's even more ridiculous is that the fool of the six princes still hates her in her heart! ”
Men and women laughed disdainfully in the cold wind, and I leaned against the wall, and the cold wind blew on my face as if it were about to cut flesh apart.
"I just praised him casually and it was really serious, I practiced those Lao Shizi martial arts so hard every day, and I still thought that I could be the emperor! Like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you were born to be the destiny of a king, and anyone can get it! ”
"Prince Ben just likes your sweet mouth", King Wei sneered and kissed her cheek, his face greedily picking at her clothes.
Wei Rong whispered to King Wei: "He also said that he wanted to marry a slave maid, the person and heart of the slave and maid belong to His Royal Highness the Prince, and you don't remember to give the slave and maid a name......
"It's up to him!" King Wei let out a cold snort from his nose, "After this year, this prince will let him die, mourn, yellow, and spring!" ”
As he spoke, the sound of several inner supervisors walking towards him suddenly came from a distance.
"Someone is coming", King Wei's eyes narrowed, and he hurriedly put on his clothes and kissed Wei Rong on the cheek, "Be careful of your liver, we haven't been intimate for a long time since Concubine Mei died, so I ordered you to come to the prince's bedroom tonight." ”
Wei Rongjiao thumped his chest in disgust, "The slave understands, send His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Several inner eunuchs just passed by drunk, King Wei left in a hurry, and Wei Rong stood up and patted the withered grass on her body as if no one was around, and sorted out the fallen leaves and hair on her body.
I stared at all this, holding the jade pendant on my waist with my hand, and called softly, "Mother, I'm sorry......"
The remnant leaves were flying, the winter wind was bleak, and the figure of Wei Rong, who was about to leave with the spring breeze on her face, was shocked, and turned her face, her face full of unspeakable shock.
I walked out of the corner, holding the short blade of the cold light in my hand, and stood quietly in front of Wei Rong.
"Six...... The Six Princes...... You...... Why are you ...... here" Her face was pale, her lips twitched as she spoke, and her eyes showed fear, "Slave, slave just happened to pass by here......"
I stretched out my left hand, spread out my palm, handed it to her, and said lightly: "Wei Rong, this, do you like it?" ”
Wei Rong looked at the things in my palm, the emerald hosta was sprinkled with tenderness in the moonlight, her face changed many expressions in an instant, and she took it down with trembling hands, "Okay...... It's so beautiful, and the slave likes it very much. ”
I looked at her petite, pitiful in the cold wind, innocent and innocent eyes looked at me, slightly sideways.
"Wei Rong, are you afraid of me?"
She shook her head, "The slave is not afraid of the six princes, and the slave is not afraid of ......"
She said she was not afraid, but every time I took a step closer, she retreated in terror.
"Wei Rong, I'm only eight years old", I raised the short blade in my hand and forced her into a corner, "What are you afraid of me?" ”
"Wei Rong, I'm just a fool, why should you be afraid?"
A smile broke into the corner of her mouth, and the tip of the knife pressed against her pale cheek, making a bloody streak.
Her eyes were round, and she shook her head in horror, "Sixth prince, the slave maid is wrong, the slave maid doesn't dare anymore, what the slave maid just said, just, it's just...... It was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who repeatedly forced the slaves and maids, and the slaves and maids had to ......"
"I see."
I was stunned, withdrew the knife, looked at her who had slipped to the ground, stroked the blood beads on her face, and said in a voice full of concern, "Does it hurt?" ”
Wei Rong's face gradually eased, and she quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and when she raised her face, her eyes were already full of tears, "The slave is fine, as long as the six princes don't misunderstand the slave and maid, the slave and maid can still eat such a little hardship." ”
I took her hand and whispered softly, with a gentle face, "You bring me the hosta, okay?" ”
Fang Cai's horror was completely gone, she seemed to have walked from the Yama Palace, and sweat was also dripping from her forehead, and then she wiped off the sweat in a panic and put the hosta on her head, "Sixth prince, look, does the slave and maid look good with it?" ”
Moyu green silk, forehead moist and full, soft and bright complexion, beautiful eyes overflowing, light smile between lips, this hosta is on Wei Rong's head, it is really beautiful.
It's the most beautiful she's ever seen.
I nodded, "Wei Rong, you are so beautiful." ”
She smiled and approached me, stretching out her arms to hug me.
The next moment, her smile froze on her face, and her eyes were open to the limit.
He raised his hand with an incredible face, and his hands were bright red.
Hanging down, the green blade had been inserted into her abdomen, the bloody breath filled the air, and her fair skin was even more delicate in this red light.
"Six...... Emperor...... Zi ......" big tears rolled down her eyes, "slave maid...... Maid ...... Wrong...... Spare ...... Slaves...... Beg...... I beg you ......"
My expression was still flat, and I pulled out the blade from her abdomen, and another knife, without any beak, accurately stabbed at the beating place of Wei Rong's chest.
Wei Rong gasped, holding the blade in pain, tears falling endlessly, all kinds of expressions changed on her face, as if she was making great efforts, reaching out to pull the corner of my clothes.
"Right...... No...... ......"
Intermittently, recognizing these words, I sat down against the wall and pressed her head down on my shoulder, "Wei Rong, in the past, you coaxed me to sleep, but now ...... Close your eyes and sleep well......"
Wei Rong leaned on my shoulder, her hands and feet hanging down, and she stopped breathing.
I took off the hosta on her head, and saw that the green hosta was still glowing with a peerless polish, and when I turned the hairpin, the Rong characters carved by myself were still so obvious, and there was no bloodstain.
I threw down the hosta, only to hear it snap, and lay quietly in a pool of blood.
In the dark night, dense frost and snow suddenly began to fall......
Snowflakes as fine as ice particles smashed on my shoulders and on Wei Rong's wide eyes......
It had accumulated so much that it turned into droplets, sliding down her lifeless cheeks like tears.
I looked down and saw that the clothes that Wei Rong had made for me with her own hands were stained with a large amount of blood, and even my face and hands were stained with blood.
This made me frown slightly, and an inexplicable sense of boredom filled my heart.
Taking a few steps back, I saw that the white boots on my feet had already been soaked with blood, and they were stained bright red.
One step will leave a bright red footprint.
On that day, from the cold palace to my palace, I walked slowly and heavily, leaving red footprints all the way.
Straight back to the palace, I lay on the bed with my clothes, the newly laid bedding and brocade were stained with blood, I hugged the pillow, shrunk in the corner, the temperature gradually dropped, the whole palace was unbearable cold, my body began to tremble slightly.
In the huge palace, now, I am really the only one left.
I clasped my arms and closed my eyes, all I could think of was the clean smile on my face and her laughter under the fireworks of that day.
"Sixth prince, today is your birthday, will the slave and maid dance for you?"
Well.
"Sixth prince, is the slave dancing good-looking?"
Wei Rong, you dance so beautifully.
"Sixth prince, if it's good-looking, it's good for you to nod at the slave and smile at the slave and smile......
Okay, if Wei Rong wants to see it, I'll laugh at you.
"The sixth prince, the slave maid heard that fireworks were set off in the sky on the day and night of his birthday, and making a wish is the most effective!"
Wei Rong, you know what?
That day, I made a wish, which was...... You can be seen smiling every day.
*****************************************************
The next morning, my father and his guards arrived at the palace gate, and for the first time I was so close to my father, he slapped me in the face.
"Distribute the frontier, and serve as a slave in the barracks."
Such a punishment was spoken, and everyone thought that an eight-year-old child who fell into such a field must be a dead end.
But I prostrated and thanked my father.
Then I thought, this is the first time I will bow to this man, and it will be the last time.
When we meet again, everything here will be surrendered to me.
Mother, you wait for the return of the emperor.
When the time comes, the child will be the ruler of the world.
