Chapter 213: Sinners Through the Ages?
Looking at the purple-robed old man with silver frost leaning over and whispering to a black amethyst, Lu Shou lowered his head, and felt that the sun in Xiakou was a little dazzling.
Lu Shou was sent to the Luojing Palace when he was six years old, except for the first few months, the nearly thirteen years have been spent with the two "grandfathers", and Lu Zheng's sigh just now pierced his ears is really sentimental.
"Hold it!" After feeding, Lu Zheng turned his head and smiled at his godsun, stretched his arm forward, and the amethyst that had stopped in his hand jumped into Lu Shou's arms, and nested comfortably.
"It's stronger than people, and I can't bear to suffer from our old body!" , Lu Zheng sighed in his mouth, squinted his old eyes and explained with a serious attitude: "Shou'er, just guard your Grandpa Zi in this life." As long as you take it with you, no matter what disasters or difficulties, you will be able to survive. ”
"Grandchildren remember!" , Lu Shou nodded vigorously, rubbed his face on Amethyst's body affectionately, and wiped away the tears that were about to fall.
Lu Zheng had mentioned it to him many times before. During the rebellion of the Emperor Wu at the end of the year, if Lu Zheng was not the only little eunuch who could serve Amethyst, it is estimated that he would not be qualified to follow the Empress Dowager Ciren and Xiaozong to Xiaoxijian. Even though he later became the chief supervisor of Xiaozong's side, Lu Zheng's starting point was on this little mink.
The poisonous mink amethyst, which was much older than Lu Zheng, was a monster in the eyes of others, but for their family, it was a talisman that could be alive and well in the inner palace. Amethyst is also good at checking drugs, no matter who sits at the highest position in the palace, it is a matter of life, and it will not be damaged in the slightest.
"Just now, we smelled the fragrance of women's fat powder on Amethyst?" , Lu Zheng, who was sitting on the chair, took a sip of tea and asked Lu Shou, who was grooming the fur of the mink, suspiciously.
"It should be the Xia Meiren who Concubine Zhang asked to try this morning. She hugged Grandpa Zi in Xuxiang Lane for a while! Lu Shou replied cautiously and honestly. Lu Zheng closed his eyes and didn't look at him when he was drinking tea, but Amethyst's pair of golden eyes were staring back at him. The little ears were pricked up, as if to hear clearly.
"That's amazing!" , Lu Zheng sighed for a while, and said slowly: "It's been more than 20 years since Amethyst was held by outsiders last time......
"Someone else? Didn't grandpa say that you chose your grandson for more than 30 years? The small silver comb in Lu Shou's hand kept moving, and he asked softly. For him, being pounced by Amethyst from a bunch of little eunuchs back then was the proudest thing in his life. If it hadn't been for that day, maybe he would have become a pile of ashes nowhere.
In response to him, there was a crackling sound of porcelain shattering.
Lu Shou raised his head in astonishment, and then knelt on the ground with Amethyst in his arms.
Lu Zheng, who had originally stood up from the chair, twitched the muscles on his face and stared at the top of Lu Shou's head for a while before taking a step back, sitting down dejectedly, and letting Lu Shou hold Amethyst to his lap.
"Get up! Don't do your business! You get out! ”
There was only one man and one beast left in the closed room, and a hand as thin as a bamboo chop traced the smooth fur of the mink over and over again, tirelessly. It seems to be sorting out one's own chaotic emotions at the same time.
"Old man, except for our grandfather and grandson, it was Prince Mingzhao who you were willing to hug last time. In the third year of Yongde, the little prince who was only nine years old ......"
The little mink turned his head and rubbed the back of the old man's hand, his golden eyes shining, clean and dust-free. In the face of such a pair of eyes, the whimper stuck in the throat of the old man couldn't help but turn into a howling cry.
"When the king started a palace rebellion, the master stayed in the palace to be loyal. Let our family take you to protect the queen mother and the princes to escape, and tell you to always remember the mission of guarding the Qi royal family. Be loyal to your master...... When the first emperor ascended the throne, I took you with him, and I always felt that one day, I, a rootless person, would be able to write a good word in the history books because of my loyalty...... At that time, I felt right about what the first emperor was going to do. He wants to set the north and the south. If you want to get rid of the Xiao family, you think it's right...... But on that day, the almond milk given by the first emperor after the prince's audience ...... When you jumped over the milk bowl and stopped you, it was the old slave who lured you away and put you in a cage. When I went back, the emperor gave the prince a bowl of ......."
once thought it was a loyal act that could show the sun and the moon, but in the past twenty-four years, it began to slowly gnaw away at Lu Zheng's already broken life. The more ridiculous Emperor Taiye was, the more he thought about what would happen if the crown prince born by Empress Xiao of the Ming Zhao Dynasty grew up safely and inherited the unification. There is only one story left in this world, and he can't tell anyone about it, so he can only talk to the little mink who doesn't know how to speak.
"No matter how extravagant he is, he is also the heir chosen by the first emperor, right? He is the bloodline of the Qi clan, and he is the master we must protect, right? Whether it's in Luojing, or to Jiangnan, or one day the Chen Dynasty is destroyed, we have to follow, right? After crying for a long time, Lu Zhengcai, who barely stabilized his mind, stretched out his fingers to wipe the tears on his eyes, and asked Amethyst, who couldn't give an answer at all, and also wanted to cheer himself up.
No matter who it is, one big mistake in a lifetime is enough!
Lu Zheng, who was originally left by Xiaozong in Mu Lingci a burial ground, has no hope of returning north to be buried since he left Luojing. When I was young, I wanted to be a loyal eunuch who would leave a name in the annals of history, but it seems impossible in this life, and I don't want to leave any traces in the mausoleum of the Qi royal family that may be scolded by future generations. Following Emperor Taiye all the way to the south, Lu Zheng was already ready to throw his body into the wilderness.
The dark door creaked open from within, and the expressionless old man stepped out of the high threshold with the mink in his arms.
Lu Shou, who had just brought the door and immediately slipped to the porch to guard, hurriedly leaned over.
"Check the woman carefully. If Amethyst likes her, we might as well have a good relationship! If Zhang Demon Girl is planning to send people to the emperor, she will try her best to stop them. Lu Zheng's hand caressed Amethyst's back, and his mouth calmly and flatly explained. He was very disgusted with Zhang Xip, but after the death of the little prince many years ago, he was forced to make an oath by Empress Mingzhao, who should have been aware of the truth, and would not touch the harem people.
The emperor who didn't let that woman see a half-madman was to save her!
Lu Shou was slightly surprised by his grandfather's sudden kindness, and hurriedly responded, and trotted to arrange manpower......
Compared with the place where he temporarily borrowed, the Tamamo Palace where he is now can be said to be beautiful to the extreme, from a large piece of yarn embroidery worth thousands of gold but only used to pull tents and tables. Exquisite and wonderful treasures, and then to the beauty in front of you.
Zhou Manyun, who knelt on the ground with his head bowed, secretly looked at everything around him, sighed quietly, and counted his breaths to bet on when he would wake up after entering the hall for nearly half an hour.
"You peek at me! I'm much more beautiful than you, right? A touch of fragrant snow chest lowered in front of Man Yun's eyes. The ravines are distinct.
Man Yun, who was held up by a slender finger, was facing a bright and delicate smile in front of him.
"!" , A horse-faced old woman ran over screaming, stretched out her hand and grabbed Zhang Xixi's arm, and the fear in her eyes was not hidden. But she just pulled it, and was glared at by Zhang Xixi angrily, and stepped aside in a daze. There are other palace maids in the palace, and Jiang's mother, who has been in charge of Zhang Xixi, does not dare to do the following crimes again.
This old pious woman is also an insider with Wang's mother. Man Yun smiled suddenly, and respectfully said to Zhang Xi, who turned his face back and was waiting for her to answer: "How can the fairy posture of the concubine Niangniang be comparable to mortals. ”
"You're mocking me!" , a cold snort. Zhang Xixi, who was dressed in graceful clothes, actually pulled her skirt and half stood in front of Man Yun, with her beautiful childish face, showing her unpolished natural beauty.
That's how a real natural stunner should be. Whether it is a man or a woman who sees her, the first feeling is that I want to sigh first. But no matter how much compliment there is, the woman with obvious prickly eyes should not be able to listen to a word, Man Yun smiled lightly and said no more.
"When you say it, are you scolding me in your heart? Just like those people. I can't wait to curse me to die right away! Zhang Xixi, who is over thirty years old but still looks childish. stretched out two fingers and pinched Man Yun's cheeks, his eyes were round and angry, as if he wanted to vent his cruelty, but he unconsciously revealed the cuteness of the stock as if he was a coquettish idiot.
Mother Jiang, who was standing aside, kept shaking her eyebrows that couldn't be leveled, and she was uneasy. Zhang regrets this kind of favor with only a few taels of meat on his chest. On weekdays, the woman who leads the line doesn't know the inside story at all, but she is a Tianxiang girl who was trained like herself, but the medicine and poison on her body are different.
But Jiang's mother knew that Man Yun, who was being pinched by Zhang Xixi, was a "foreign aid" with a mysterious origin, and it was said that his temper was not good on weekdays.
If the snake-like woman in front of her bites Zhang on the side of her head, it is a pity for a moment. These decades of hard work have been in vain. Mother Jiang gritted her teeth, but she was still ready to stop Zhang Xixi's childish behavior of not following the prior arrangement.
"Get out of here, all of you! I'm going to teach this dead woman a good lesson! Without waiting for Jiang's mother's persuasion, Zhang Xixi's loud shouts had already sounded first, and a pair of angry beautiful eyes were rippling, as if they would surge out at any time.
The palace maid who had been serving by the concubine's side for a long time hurriedly withdrew before the storm came, and did not forget to drag away the worried Jiang's mother.
The ethereal scent of the huge palace closed the thick door, leaving only two women kneeling opposite each other on a white plush blanket.
"The concubine has something to say, although she has instructions, you don't have to pinch the folk girls anymore, so that the folk girls will become uglier!" , stayed quiet for a while, and saw that Zhang Xixi, who was more stunned than just now, still maintained the posture of pinching people just now, and Zhou Manyun, who was pinched on his cheek, couldn't help but remind him.
The hand that was twisted on her face suddenly let go, and as soon as Xiangxia stretched out, she joined the other hand and grabbed Zhou Manyun's right hand hanging by her side.
The originally arrogant beauty Pear Blossom cried with rain, holding Man Yun's right hand and working harder, harder.
"You tell me honestly, what conditions do you want to leave the palace? I'm a concubine, and I can do a lot of things! …… They are all liars, and when you really assassinate the emperor, you won't survive. You are young and beautiful, and when you leave the palace, you can have a lot of good lives, so why waste your life here......"
Zhou Manyun, who was unexpected, was stunned in the mournful cry, and muttered, "I'm not for them." It's ......"
"Then what are you for?" , Zhang Xixi suppressed her sadness and glared angrily. After only staying for a while, he suddenly grabbed Man Yun's hand and pressed it to his plump chest.
The tearful beauty took a breath and choked up, "Otherwise, kill me before you kill him!" Anyway, others say that I am a demon scourge like Daji and Meixi! Chen Chaojiangshan was made like this, all because of me! ”
"If Chen Chao wants to die or not, what does it matter to women? It's none of your business, and it's none of my business! ”
The legendary Concubine Zhang should really be a woman like a monster. Not only did he confuse the king when he was born, but even if he was smashed into flesh by the soldiers who broke into the palace from afar in the Jianyang Palace, there were still three points of charm left behind and hundreds of lives were shook. But now such a silly crying tearful beauty makes Zhou Manyun feel that she can't cry or laugh.
And if you sneak into the Xiakou Palace and want to do such a stupid thing with your own risk, what does it have to do with the bullshit Jiangshan Sheji? Zhou Manyun looked down at his hand that was still pressed on Zhang Xixi's chest, and smiled dismally.
It's just hard to settle! Emperor Taiye, who was still the king of Liang in the fifteenth year of Yongde, stabbed the sword in Tallinn of the Great Ci'en Temple for no reason.
Whether in a past life or in this life. (To be continued......)
