Chapter 19: Frame-Up
Many thoughts flashed through my mind, and when I hesitated and didn't know how to speak, the moon god raised his eyebrows and said for me: "Tianjun, it seems that Concubine Xiang is not easy to speak, so it is better for this palace to do it for me!" ”
Tianjun looked at me with a helpless expression.
The moon god has already narrated: "Last night, after the Moon Jumping Festival, Concubine Xiang personally sent Shenying back to Chixia Palace, passing by outside the Guanghan Palace and heard Chang'e and Wu Gang whispering under the palace wall, what they talked about has violated the taboo of heaven, and asked the Heavenly Monarch to judge how to punish Chang'e and Wu Gang, so as to set an example for the fairy world." ”
"Concubine Xiang, you said that you heard what Chang'e and Wu Gang said outside the Guanghan Palace last night?" Tianjun asked me. The content of last night's conversation between the two suddenly came to my mind, Chang'e said that Guanghan was boring, and she missed the seaside that she used to go to with Houyi. Wu Gang said that one day he must take Chang'e to find that sea. Chang'e said that what if she found it, she was sad, she stole the elixir that the queen mother gave to Hou Yi, and then flew to the sky, Hou Yi must have hated her to death. Wu Gang was relieved and said that if he was Hou Yi, his loving wife would never ascend to immortality alone, Wu Gang also said that if he was Hou Yi, he would definitely give up the elixir, what could be happier than his beloved getting eternal life? Chang'e may have been moved, and after a long silence, she sighed: Hou Yi will never be like this. Wu Gang said that he was willing to be the Houyi that Chang'e hoped in his heart. This conversation shook my heart, and I turned my head to look at Chang'e and Wu Gang, who were kneeling like two fish on a chopping board, ready to be slaughtered. They even glanced at each other with a calm look. I felt compassion for them. I bowed deeply to the Heavenly Monarch and said: "The Heavenly Monarch is above, Jiangzhu will never dare to deceive, Jiangzhu never sent Shenying back to Chixia Palace last night, let alone outside the Guanghan Palace, so I never heard the conversation between Fairy Chang'e and Wu Gang." The words of the moon god, Zhu Zhu couldn't understand. ”
Jin'er was clever, and she had already helped: "Last night, the slave accompanied Concubine Xiang back to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and Concubine Xiang never left Xiaoxiang Pavilion after she came back, let alone met Shenying's waiter and sent him back to Chixia Palace."
I turned my begging eyes to Shen Ying, and I was asking him to help me, but I was not completely sure that he would help me, because if he helped me, he would trap his master in injustice, but I still had to gamble.
Shen Ying has come to my side and knelt down, kowtowed deeply, and said: "Qi Qi Tianjun, what Concubine Xiang said is true, the slave returned to Chixia Palace by himself last night, and did not let Concubine Xiang send her off." ”
The stone hanging in my heart fell to the ground, and I immediately saw the cloudy face of the moon god.
The Heavenly Monarch had raised his tone and looked at the Moon God reproachfully: "Ah Yue, what the hell is going on?" ”
I gritted my teeth and added: "The moon god has many misunderstandings about Jiangzhu, and the Gua Tianjun on Kunlun Mountain in the past is clear. Jiang Zhu just wants to live quietly in the Oriental Heavenly Court, and doesn't want to offend anyone, destroy the harmony of the Immortal State, and provoke the jokes of the Three Realms. "The night I moved out of Kunlun Mountain, the moon god pushed me into the cliff, and today's incident is the moon god's framing of me, of course the heavenly monarch believes me. I saw that his eyes were gloomy, the look on his face was like a black cloud pressing down on the city getting colder and colder, and the hand holding the armrest of the chair had already clenched into a fist, and two words popped out from between his teeth: "Ah Yue!" ”
"Heavenly Lord forgives sins." It was Yue Meng who spoke. She rushed out from behind the moon god, knelt in front of the heavenly monarch, pounded garlic like mud and knocked her head, until her forehead was covered with blood, and her mouth kept saying: "It's the slave who is not good, it's the slave who framed Concubine Xiang, and it has nothing to do with the moon god." ”
Tianjun stood up suddenly, "Send the Chixia Palace Immortal Eyue Meng to the Ten Halls of the Yin Division for disposal, and you will not be an immortal forever, and you will not be able to be a superborn person." Tianjun said and brushed his sleeves away. The attendant Celestial Maiden Xian'e swarmed to follow.
Yuemeng had collapsed to the ground, and the moon god stepped forward and slapped Shenying, looked at me angrily and said, "Are you satisfied now?" ”
When I came back from Guanghan Palace, as soon as I entered the door of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, the whole person collapsed and leaned on the door. Jin'er held me and slowly walked into the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Grandpa Sanshengshi was waiting for me in the courtyard, he came to say goodbye to me, and after participating in the "Moon Jumping" Festival, he had to return to the bank of the Lechuan River in Guimenguan to fulfill his duties. Looking at Grandpa Sanshengshi's kind eyes and kind smile, my tears fell uncontrollably. Jin'er then told her grandfather about the frightened scenes in the Guanghan Palace, and my grandfather hugged me, patted my head and comforted: "Don't blame yourself, everyone has a fixed number for everyone, and the disaster of Yuemeng is what she willingly deserves for the moon god, and she has nothing to do with people." ”
Where can I be so clean in my heart? I think if I report Chang'e and Wu Gang, then Yuemeng won't have an accident. Yuemeng was punished by the Jade Emperor, how could the moon god give up with me? Old hatreds have not been removed, and new grievances have been added. And Shen Ying helped me testify, how could the moon god be willing to spare him? I'm afraid that all my dissatisfaction with me will be vented on him.
Grandpa Sanshengshi promised me that I would intercede with the Ten Palaces Yama, so that Miss Yuemeng would not suffer too much in the Yin Division, and the guilt in my heart was slightly relieved. Sending away Grandpa Sanshengshi, I slept in Cuizhuxuan for a long time. At night, Jin'er came to call me to get up, saying that Chang'e was visiting. I was lazy to freshen up, and directly let Chang'e into the inner room, Jin'er served Chang'e tea, and then retreated. I leaned on the Hunan concubine couch and didn't move, and Chang'e's gaze at me was not as indifferent as before.
"Today, Sister Xie Lu and Concubine Xie Xiang will help me round the field in front of Tianjun." Chang'e is less domineering and high-spirited in the past, and has a lot more affinity, like a gentle sister.
And I didn't want to have a disguise in front of her, so I opened the skylight and said brightly: "I can help my sister once, but I can't help my sister forever." Besides, the main purpose of the person who pulled my sister's pigtails was to deal with me, and of course I couldn't let her succeed. I'm just protecting myself and helping my sister by the way, so my sister doesn't have to thank me too much. ”
Chang'e smiled humbly: "I know that Sister Lu Dao is different from other immortals in the Heavenly Court, you have a good heart." There is no scheming and is unwilling to calculate others. For this point, it is also worth treating you as a friend. In any case, today's incident is that Chang'e owes her sister a love, hoping to repay her sister one day. ”
"That's a big deal." I got up to see Chang'e off, standing at the door of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, I reminded Chang'e, "Brother Wu Gang has a temperament, dares to love and hate, but unfortunately these are not the qualities that an immortal should have." My sister and he are blessed or bad, and they can grasp it themselves. Once you cross the thunder pond for half a step, it will be a catastrophe. My sister is here, and that's all she says, take care of your sister. ”
Chang'e smiled at me gratefully, "In this way, my sister also has a word to tell my sister." The waiter of Shenying said that he didn't have the affection for Concubine Xiang's sister, maybe you are self-purifying, open-minded, and purely friendship, but I am afraid that when you go to someone with a heart, you can make a big fuss and trap you two in injustice. ”
Chang'e's words hung over my heart like a haze, lingering for a long time. I was worried about Shenying's situation, so I sent Jin'er to Chixia Palace to inquire. Jin'er came back after a long time, her expression was solemn, and she stopped talking. I already knew in my heart that the moon god would not spare Shen Ying easily, and I didn't know what to do for a while.
Jin'er said: "The slave maid has been inquiring for a long time, and I don't know where the Shenying waiter was punished by the moon god and thought about it behind closed doors, so it's impossible for my sister to visit!" ”
Don't worry about this, I took Jin'er, and I cast a spell in Cuizhu Xuan, and the red light on the top of my head was magnificent, and I quickly found out the whereabouts of Shen Ying. It turned out to be "Wugong". The moon god actually imprisoned Shen Ying in the place where the Heavenly Monarch had imprisoned her. Okay, is she looking for someone to get angry?
Late at night, when Jin'er and the other fairy maidens in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion were asleep, I tiptoed out of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion and went to the "Wu Palace" at great speed. The "Wu Palace" is deserted, and no one can notice my arrival. I used the escape technique to directly penetrate the palace gate of the "Wu Palace", only to see the smoke and clouds, the moonlight misty forest and stones, and the surrounding atmosphere seemed treacherous.
"Shenying, Shenying......" I tentatively called Shenying's name, not daring to make a loud noise. The fourth dimension was very quiet, and there was no echo from Shen Ying. I remembered the day when the Celestial Monarch turned the moon god into a stone and then cast a spell to summon it. I searched among the stones one by one, and when my hand touched a slender stone, the red light above my head was faint, and I knew that the Tao must be Shenying. Immediately cast the spell, and where the spell disappeared, Shen Ying appeared in front of my eyes.
"Zhu, why are you here?" Shen Ying looked at me sadly.
I grabbed Shen Ying's arm and looked him up and down to see if he was injured. "I'm sorry I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" I blamed myself, and tears were already falling.
Shen Ying helped me sit down on the stone on the side, shook my head and said, "Fortunately, the palace master just locked me up and didn't embarrass me too much." You can rest assured, if you are teary-eyed like this, my heart will only be more uncomfortable. ”
I wiped my tears and searched my stomach, "How can I save you from the scab?" Did the moon god say how long you were locked up? When will she forgive you? ”
"Yue Meng was punished so severely by the Heavenly Monarch, I think the palace master will not forgive me for a while."
"What then?" I'm restless.
Shen Ying said with relief: "Jiangzhu, don't be like this, I just closed my door here and thought about it, my life is worry-free, and I haven't suffered any other hardships, and the palace master is extremely merciful to me." I have followed her since I was a child, and she is nostalgic for her old love. ”
"I'm sorry......" I still feel uneasy.
Shen Ying stretched out her hand to wipe away my tears and said with a smile: "If you feel indebted to me, then you will come to the 'Wugong' to visit me in the future, but you must come with a smile and not cry." Your tears will choke me, you know? The way you cry is really ugly. ”
When, and still in the mood for a joke? I slapped Shen Ying and burst into tears and laughed.
Shen Ying finally let out a relieved smile.
In the following days, I came to visit Shen Ying day and night, brought him good food, and chatted with him. He told me about the interesting things that happened between him and Grandpa Sanshengshi during the five hundred years I was in a coma, such as they always made riddles together for each other to guess, and he always easily guessed the riddle of Grandpa Sanshengshi, but it was difficult for Grandpa Sanshengshi to guess his riddle. Grandpa Sanshengshi was often punished for this.
I wondered, "What is this for?" Grandpa Sanshengshi is not a very stupid person, why can't he guess your riddle? ”
Shen Ying Da Lu smiled: "Because of my riddle, I can't guess the answer to the riddle myself." ”
I see, this kid is too slippery. I can't blame Shen Ying, his laughter is clear and inorganic, and it only makes me laugh with him. In the laughter, I felt as if I had returned to the Spirit River, to the days of unrestrained freedom, and to the life of friendliness, kindness and unframed and framed.
"Shen Ying, when will I be able to return to Linghe!" I looked at the night sky beyond the palace walls in confusion, where meteors traveled warmly, but refused to fly into the lonely sky of the "Wu Palace". It turns out that in this heavenly court, even meteors are snobbish.
Shen Ying reached out and gently took me into his arms, my head resting gently on his shoulder, everything was so natural and natural. I heard him whisper to me, "I'm sorry for ......."
My heart is sour, itchy, itchy, and painful. Shen Ying, because of you and me, I came to this Eastern Heavenly Court, but I have never blamed you, how can I be willing to blame you? There was a lot of sentimentality in my chest, but I didn't dare to say it.
