84. Determination
It's just that I'm not a puppet, I'm just a pawn brutally destroyed by Lu Pheasant, she devours me with her carefully designed expectations, bites me, and destroys my soul and body!
"Are you so ruthless that you are not afraid of retribution? Lu Pheasant is tyrannical and brutalizes people's lives, I won't let you go! ……”
Mama Su's smile was almost drowned in the darkness I had never seen before, and the people around me stretched out a pair of hands to me, and they clasped me tightly, no matter how much I struggled, I still couldn't escape the glass of wine poured into my mouth.
"Uh......"
I finally didn't have the strength to resist, and swallowed the bitter wine. Looking at the gorgeous zenith of Zhaoyang Palace, I thought, this is my life, but how can I be willing.
At the very least, let me see you before I close it. Liu Ying, what kind of expression will you use to face my death in the future, and will you still be such a high-ranking puppet?
There were so many voices in my ears, and my last sight disappeared into the vast, bright red snow......
——————————
Chang'an has reached the rainy season, and the snow girl in winter doesn't seem to be too greedy for the world, and she has swept away some chills. The sound of the wind mixed with the clattering of raindrops against the windows made the room quieter.
My phone vibrated very strongly, the whole room was only this weird sound, I swiped the screen, the caller ID was Xiao Jue, I pressed the hang up button, and the room suddenly fell silent again.
The candles in the room were already lit and pitch black. Chang Xi was lying on the bed, her figure drowning in my sight.
As soon as she finished the story, she fell asleep, clutching the corners of the quilt with a pained expression.
There was a human skin contract under the pillow, Chang Xi had been there, and I spread out the paper, and she kept it very well, no dirt or folding.
The phone rang again, this time it was a text message, and the sender was Ma Xi. I tightened my eyebrows, my thumb hesitated, but I clicked on it, and there was only one picture in the text message, which was a photo of Ma Xi's naked (harmonious) body and another man, they were lying on the white bed/sheet, wrapping/kissing.
My pupils contracted violently, and the man was Xiao Du.
I quickly pressed a line and was about to send it, 'Why don't you two die.' Then my finger stopped on the send button, I looked at Changxi, sighed, and deleted the line again.
Then I turned off my phone, lay down next to Changxi, and stroked her hot forehead, as well as the three petals clearly visible under the corners of her eyes, one of which had faded in color.
"It's time to decide."
I will clench the paper of the human skin pact and close my eyes, hoping that the next morning it will not be turned upside down even more than I expected.
But in fact, we didn't notice at the time that when Chang Xi told me this earth-shattering story just now, a figure outside the door also heard it all.
Mei'er is considered an intelligence master, and she repeated what Chang Xi said just now to Su Musha word for word.
Su Musha's face became very distorted, "You said she was talking to herself? ”
"Yes, I only heard her talking alone, Childe, is she ...... Can you see ghosts? ”
"How can you believe the words of the demons and gods? However, she did have a bit of a strange feeling, and it seemed that I had to ask my aunt to confirm her identity. ”
The lit oil lamp could only illuminate a corner of the room in a trance, and Su Musha spread out the tissue paper and put pen to ink. Then I rolled up the tissue paper and put it into a small bamboo slip.
Mei'er brought the carrier pigeons, and after confirming that the letter paper was tied, she opened the window and released the pigeons.
On a rainy night, the white dove fluttered its wings and flew to Weiyang Palace.
The candle flame in the Xuanshu Hall was not extinguished until the third watch, and the father-in-law who guarded the door came in to remind the emperor to rest early, but Liu Ying just waved his sleeves and continued to lean on the desk stupidly, holding the wine bottle that had long been empty, motionless.
The father-in-law had no choice but to sigh and retreat, he has been like this since Chang Meiren's death.
Just as he was about to close the door, a few small footsteps stopped at the door.
"The Queen's Mother......"
The father-in-law bowed to Zhang Yan in a panic and pointed to the house: "The emperor is inside." ”
Zhang Yan nodded, she was wearing extremely plain clothes today, and the color of her clothes was even lighter than the maidservant next to her, and even when she stepped into the door, Liu Ying caught a glimpse of the afterglow and thought that she was just a palace maid waiting.
It wasn't until the baby in Zhang Yan's arms cried that Liu Ying came to her senses: "Why is Shujun here?" ”
Zhang Yan carefully handed Liu Gong to the palace maid beside her, and walked to Liu Ying with a wide and thick skirt: "Uncle, I can't sleep." ”
Zhang Yan coquettishly took Liu Ying's hand, but she didn't expect that his hand was even colder than her own. I felt very uncomfortable, and I rubbed my palms hard to help him warm up.
Liu Ying smiled and held Zhang Yan's little hand and touched her fine forehead: "Shujun is good, my uncle can't accompany you tonight, you follow the nurse back to Jiaofang Palace, and tomorrow your uncle will give you your favorite crystal cake to eat." ”
Zhang Yan pouted, a little unwilling to compromise, and looked up at Liu Ying with blinking eyes: "Is Uncle thinking about Sister Juan?" ”
Liu Ying hadn't seen him smile since she knew that Chang Wan was dead, and when she came into the house, Zhang Yan saw his eyes.
Although Zhang Yan is young, she has been growing up in the Han Palace, and she is forced to understand those things that she should not know. She knew about the conspiracy of the Empress Dowager, her embarrassing situation as the queen, and Liu Ying's heartbreak.
But now, she can only pretend that she doesn't understand anything, pretending that she is an ignorant child like others. Because at least in the desolate Weiyang Palace, she didn't want Liu Ying to feel more guilty.
"Wanwan...... Shujun, do you know the way, today I saw Wanwan, and I saw a girl who looked very similar to Wanwan. ”
Liu Ying's pale thin lips closed one by one, and she was extremely difficult to speak. He hasn't mentioned Changjuan once recently, and even if the Queen Mother asked, he kept silent. Liu Ying often thinks that if he hadn't favored Chang Wan at the beginning, he wouldn't have become a victim of the regime.
Zhang Yanmei's eyes were startled, and she grabbed Liu Ying's sleeve: "Where did my uncle see her?" ”
Liu Ying shook her head: "I saw her at the tea archway on East Street, but she is not a Wanwan. His nose was sour, and at some point, he began to stop holding back his tears.
Liu Ying avoided the candle flame, turned his back and quietly wiped the tears with his sleeve, he didn't want Zhang Yan to see it.
Zhang Yan rolled her eyes, it was an unnoticeable edge, "Uncle, it's late at night, rest early, the Queen Mother said that she will meet Zhu Xuhou tomorrow, don't delay, Shujun has retired......"
