195. Piercing
In the spring, Lu Chu was taking Liu Wanqing to play in the courtyard of the Hou Mansion, and Chang Xi was also standing aside, Wanqing was already four years old, and she could now run back and forth all over the yard.
Lu Chu followed behind and wiped the sweat on her face with a handkerchief: "Look at you, you have become a little cat." ”
Liu Wanqing smiled: "Is it okay for Madame to take Wanqing to the stone bridge to play, Daddy doesn't let Wanqing go on weekdays." ”
Liu Wanqing's sweet smile has never been to Chang Xi, all she has for Chang Xi is respect and obedience. Because Chang Xi, the mother, has always only educated her harshly, and she didn't care even once.
And in the four years that Liu Wanqing has grown, Chang Xi has also tried not to contact Wanqing, and has asked Lu Chu to accompany her to play. It was fine before the age of two, but after Wanqing gradually grew up and began to know how to speak, she became more and more separated from Changxi.
In the green world, Mrs. Hou is far more cordial than her mother.
"Wanqing, how many times has my mother told you, you can't go to Shiqiao!"
Chang Xi's stern voice frightened Wan Qing, and she suddenly threw herself into Lu Chu's arms, who protected her and didn't speak again.
Chang Xi had seen this scene many times, and this was the result she originally wanted.
As long as Wanqing has no feelings for her, then she will not have nostalgia when she dies.
It's been four years, no, it should be said, it's been seven years.
Chang Xi looked at his face in front of the bronze mirror, and there was only one petal left under the corner of his eye, and at the end of this year, it was time for his life to end. Everything should be almost over, and the plans she had laid out before are also developing towards her expectations, and everything seems to be going well.
When Liu Zhang returned home in the evening, he looked very tired, and fell directly on Chang Xi's bed, Chang Xi took off her robe for her, turned her head and asked him: "Master Hou, have you drunk?" ”
"Hmmm......"
Liu Zhang replied casually.
Since last year's Winter Solstice Festival, Chang Xi has been looking for an opportunity to say something to Liu Zhang, at least preparing for goodbye.
Unlike Wanqing, she can't alienate Liu Zhang, she has to monitor everything in the government by Liu Zhang's side. It was such a double torture that made Chang Xi even more exhausted.
Chang Xi lay on Liu Zhang's body, feeling the rise and fall of his chest.
"Master Hou, have you ever thought about what you would do if one day I would suddenly be no longer by your side?"
Liu Zhang laughed twice in a daze: "You're not there?" Then I'll go to you, fool...... I can still lose you. ”
"Then what if I ...... What if I die? ……”
Liu Zhang laughed twice, he seemed to think of something happy, and said leisurely: "Then if you die, won't I die too...... Didn't we say okay, let's grow old together? ”
The wetness from the corners of Chang Xi's eyes soaked into Liu Zhang's chest, and when Liu Zhang gradually began to snore, Chang Xi said softly: "Liu Zhang...... Forget me, you forget......"
She lay on Liu Zhang's chest like this, and slowly closed her eyes.
It's just that she didn't pay attention to Liu Zhang's changes, Liu Zhang was opening his eyes at the moment, and his gaze slowly moved to Chang Xi's tear-stained side face, which was the gaze he had never seen Chang Xi.
His hand was raised slightly, trying to wipe away Chang Xi's tears, but it stayed in the air, and then gradually clenched.
Neither of them slept well that night, but what they didn't expect was that the real storm would be the next morning.
Beautiful spring, wanton bird chirping, fragrant flowers, this looks like life.
Chang Xi was sitting alone in the room, and she could actually clearly hear the sound of Liu Wanqing and Lu Chu playing outside. Jin Se has always stood by Chang Xi's side, and over the years, when there was no hibiscus, Jin was always by his side to take care of him.
And Jin Se knows a little bit, this Chang Xi has an extraordinary identity, she knows the way, but she can't say much, which is also the reason why Chang Xi kept her by her side.
"Madam, do you need a slave to bring the county lord here?"
"No, she's having fun...... Jin Se, did you see Master Hou? Early in the morning, I didn't know where I went. ”
Jin Se shook his head: "He didn't even eat breakfast, so he thinks he has something urgent." ”
Chang Xi didn't ask again, and when it was almost time to have lunch, there was a knock on her door, and when she saw that it was Bi'er, she felt a little uneasy in her heart: "Why did you come?" ”
Bi'er entered the house, and after confirming that there was no one around, she opened her mouth with a serious expression: "The Queen Mother wants you to enter the palace, it seems that there is something urgent." ”
Although Zhang Yan is young, she is now the queen mother of the Han Dynasty, and she is so high in her eyes and everything, Chang Xi really can't think of anything else she can discuss with her.
In recent years, Zhang Yan and Chang Xi have rarely interacted, since Liu Ying's death, there has been a missing bridge between the two of them, and the next is Liu Gong's death, which has estranged them.
Zhang Yan said that she would never forgive Chang Xi for the rest of her life.
Chang Xi also said that he would never let go of the Lu family in this life.
"I guess I'm not going to ......"
"The Queen Mother said that if you don't go, you will lose an opportunity to know the secret of Zhu Xuhou."
Obviously, Zhang Yan had expected it a long time ago.
Although Chang Xi didn't understand the meaning of these words, he had no choice but to answer, changed his clothes and went out quietly. The carriage had been arranged, and she set out on the road to Weiyang Palace under the pretext of going to the market.
It's still the old rule, in the carriage, she changed into the clothes of the chamberlain, and then entered the Weiyang Palace with the coachman of the carriage.
Zhang Yan has been living in Jiaofang Hall for so many years. It was her only home and an unchanging cage.
Chang Xi raised his eyes and looked at the three brilliant words, sighed, and entered it restlessly.
But what was waiting for her was not Zhang Yan's petite and lovely face, but a woman wearing a dark red dress and sitting on the main seat.
As Chang Xi's footsteps got closer and closer, the focus of her eyes finally focused on the woman on the table.
That's Lu Pheasant!
She was so frightened that she took two steps back, and fell to the ground because she stepped on her dress in a hurry, she opened her mouth and lowered her head fiercely, not daring to look at Lu Pheasant, let alone say anything.
Chang Xi still had a little luck in her heart at the moment, Lu Pheasant didn't recognize her, all this was just a coincidence.
Should she do something about it now? Kneel down and say goodbye? Or kowtow to apologize?
Chang Xi didn't know anything, her mind was completely blank.
"Chang Juan, you're here."
With Lu Pheasant's soft words, the white mass in Chang Xi's head finally exploded, and she felt that the blood in her body was flowing backwards, about to burst her skin and her cranial cavity.
"What? Don't know the mourning family? ”
Chang Xi stood up with his weak knees, and only after a long time did he dare to slowly raise his eyes. She looked straight at the vicious woman who had taken her life, her husband's life, and her son's life.
Looking at Lu Pheasant so seriously and directly is something she has never had in so many years. She looked at Lu Pheasant's unsmiling face as before, and the fear in her heart just now turned into raging anger in a blink of an eye.
"When did you find out?"
Lu Pheasant smiled, touching the layers of wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, her hair was half white, she was really old. Lu Pheasant coughed twice, and said with some tiredness: "The mourning family has found out for a long time, but I haven't found a chance to catch up with you properly." ”
Lu Pheasant's smile hid a knife, Chang Xi was all too familiar: "To put it bluntly, there are only the two of us here, you called me here in the name of Shujun, since I dare to stand here, I am not afraid of dying with you today." ”
"Why bother to say that the same fate is so serious, the mourning family is sick, and it may not live long, but you are still young, you are now the side lady of the Zhuxu Marquis Mansion, enjoying the glory and wealth, now it seems that you are more suitable to live in the high-rise mansion compound than being a beauty in the palace, right?"
Lu Pheasant was sarcastic in her words, she was a little annoyed that she was cuckolding her son.
Chang Xi chuckled twice: "Since you know everything so well, what do you want to ask me for?" Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking, you clearly know how important I am to Liu Zhang, and even, I have mastered the movements of most of the soldiers and horses, as long as I say something in front of Liu Zhang, you can't do anything at all. Poke me? This is also impossible at all, my current identity is the cousin of Dou Yifang, the acting queen, at most she looks a little similar to the beauties in the palace, what can you do with me? ”
Lu Pheasant nodded like a child, but her expression was not threatened by Chang Xi's words at all, and the depth in her eyes was precipitated over the past few decades. This is also what Chang Xi is most afraid of her.
"That's a good point. But the mourning family can kill you, so don't you have no worries? ”
Chang Xi sneered: "Kill me? For you, it doesn't mean much, but for Liu Zhang, she hates your Lu family even more, maybe she will raise troops early, isn't this what you are most afraid of? ”
Lu Pheasant looked up to the sky and smiled: "It's really good, it's really worthy of being the daughter-in-law of the mourning family." Chang Xi gritted his teeth and added: "In my last life...... No, it wasn't in the previous life, you ruined your son's life, ruined Shujun's life, you also ruined me, ruined your own grandson Gong'er. You don't deserve a family at all! ”
