Chapter 172: Falling Star
Han Shili turned his head and saw a slender man striding over.
It seems that he has just come down from the early dynasty, the navy blue dragon pattern court clothes on his body are blown by the wind, his black hair is flying, looking in the direction of Han Shili, there is a faint smile on his feminine and handsome face, his eyes are like the ancient pond and bottomless, the nose is high and beautiful, the lips are thin like a cut, and he is as handsome as a celestial man.
Han Shili was slightly stunned.
It wasn't until Li Yuanlin walked to his side that he remembered to salute: "See the emperor!" ”
"No need to be polite." Li Yuanlin's eyebrows were gentle, and he made a weak gesture.
The two looked at each other and were speechless for a moment.
The osmanthus tree above the head was swayed by the wind and "sassed" slightly, bringing down countless osmanthus flowers like rain, falling on the woman's black hair, and the air was full of intoxicating flowers.
The man raised his hand, his slender fingers running towards her jet-black hair.
Han Shili was startled and subconsciously stepped back.
Li Yuanlin was stunned for a moment, then smiled with relief, withdrew his hand, and looked at Han Shili's personal palace maid, as if reminding.
Lianyi understood and hurriedly stepped forward to sort out the falling flowers on Han Shili's hair.
"Your face is not very good, is there something uncomfortable?" Li Yuanlin asked softly, carefully observing Han Shili.
Han Shili was stared at uncomfortably, so he simply lowered his head and replied calmly: "Back to the emperor, the concubine is fine." ”
Hearing this, Li Yuanlin nodded and said half-jokingly: "It's just that the face is a little worse, but from the waist, it looks fat!" ”
After saying a word, Han Shili's expression suddenly panicked, his face became even paler, and he subconsciously stroked his slightly bulging belly.
At the beginning, he said that he would only keep the child in his womb until the queen mother's birthday, but because he couldn't bear to be a mother, he dragged it until now.
Coincidentally, the emperor, who usually ignores her, suddenly came to talk to her today, could it be that he saw something?
If this is the case, not only will she suffer, but even the Han family will be implicated by her.
Han Shili was nervous, he didn't dare to look at Li Yuanlin's face, he barely pulled out an ugly smile, and stammered: "The emperor ...... Your Majesty, don't ...... Don't make fun of your concubines! ”
"If you're fat, you're fat. Okay, what are you nervous about? Li Yuanlin raised his eyebrows in surprise.
In order to dispel his suspicions, Han Shili had no choice but to suppress the panic in his heart, brewed his emotions, and raised his eyes to make a smiling expression: "The concubine is not nervous, but I don't know why the emperor is so free today, and he has time to enjoy the flowers with the concubine?" ”
To put it mildly.
Li Yuanlin didn't care, after all, he and her were only a nominal couple, and since she entered the palace, he hadn't even stepped into the gate of the Huaen Palace.
Now he took the initiative to find it, and it must have a purpose.
After a moment of silence, Li Yuanlin really retreated, and said with a serious expression: "I want to ask you a question." ”
Before he finished speaking, Han Shili had already guessed: "Does the emperor want to ask me about the green kite?" ”
"Yes!" Li Yuanlin admitted, with a rare rigor in his eyes: "I heard that you have seen Helian Che, and you still know the whereabouts of the green kite?" ”
Han Shili didn't answer, his eyes fell on the rockery in the distance, and his memory flashed back to that lively night, and everyone was talking about this wedding that caused a sensation in the entire city of Tokyo.
Han Shili, who was married, returned to Taicheng Mansion under the escort of the forbidden army.
Leaning on the attic, I watched with my own eyes as several points of light in the direction of the Taishifu soared into the sky, and the brilliant fireworks exploded, instantly illuminating most of the city of Tokyo.
At that moment, Han Shili's heart was extremely gratified.
Because she felt that she had lost her right to happiness, and now that the only friend she had made friends with could stay with her beloved, she was happy for her from the bottom of her heart.
That day, she had planned to stay in Taicheng's mansion, but in the second half of the night, the silent night suddenly became noisy.
The soldiers of the city defense battalion in armor pushed the door under the leadership of Wu Yuanzhou, searching for something, Han Shili's father Han Zigao went up to inquire about the situation, but Wu Yuanzhou refused to say anything, only showed the emperor's handwritten edict.
Later, Wu Yuanzhou received his troops with nothing.
There was a knock on the back door of the Han Mansion, and someone was clamoring to find Xin'er.
Xin'er was her personal maid when she was in the house, and she was guarding the west wing with Lianyi at that time.
The west wing of Taicheng Mansion is not very far from the back door.
And Han Shili slept very lightly, and she woke up when there was a fuss outside.
"Xin'er, what's going on outside?"
Xin'er's expression was blank.
Lianyi listened attentively and quickly distinguished: "It seems to be Xin'er's name." ”
Xin'er was surprised, pointed at herself, and said in her heart, who would come to Taicheng Mansion to find her so late?
With this doubt, Xin'er came to the back door.
From a distance, I saw that the porter guarding the door was holding on to the door like an octopus, lest I let someone outside break in by a loophole if I was negligent.
Le Ya, who was entangled with the porter, looked sideways, and said that it was the porter who didn't get in with oil and salt, and thought hard about how to get rid of this annoying guy.
In a blink of an eye, I suddenly saw Xin'er standing behind the door with a confused expression, and her eyes suddenly lit up, and she waved her hand vigorously when she saw it.
"Xin'er! Miss Xin'er! ”
Xin'er approached and looked at Le Ya with a strange expression: "Did you call me?" ”
"yes!" Le Ya nodded like pounding garlic, and in a blink of an eye, she slapped the arm of the little guy in the door who was blocking in front of her, and then smiled all over her face, took the initiative to go over and take Xin'er's hand, and took the opportunity to stuff the letter in her hand to her.
There was an extra letter in her hand, and the doubt in Xin'er's eyes was even stronger.
"We know each other?"
"Miss Xin'er forgot? I'm a good friend of the green kite! It's the one who caused the epidemic at the beginning and helped the concubine Niangniang in Baijia Alley......"
Le Ya pointed at herself, looking at Xin'er in deep thought with an expectant expression, her eyes lit up: "I remembered!" ”
Then he wondered, "But, girl, do you have something to do with me so late?" ”
"Yes! You are the maid of the concubine Niangniang, you must have the right to enter the palace to send things, I want to trouble you to give this letter to the concubine Niangniang for me, just say that there are 100,000 urgent events......"
"Did she really say that?"
In the west wing, Han Shili sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes on the letter in his hand.
Xin'er nodded: "Yes, the girl also said that this letter is a matter of life and death, please save that person." ”
Suspiciously, he opened the envelope and unfolded the letter in front of his eyes, and after reading it carefully, Han Shili fell into a huge shock.
The letter actually said that Helian Che killed the green kite because of his personal vendetta, causing the green kite's life to be in danger now? Fortunately, there are chivalrous people who come to the rescue?
How is this possible?
Looking down further, Han Shili suddenly realized that Wu Yuanzhou's house-to-house search without saying a word was looking for the missing green kite, and the letter also wrote that she must pretend to know so that Helian Che thought that the green kite had been sent out of the city, so as to divert attention.
Memory flashbacks.
Han Shili smiled faintly: "The emperor doesn't want to catch the green kite too, right?" With all due respect, the concubine said bluntly, she has already left Qingkite and will never come back, so the emperor and Lord Helian should die as soon as possible. ”
"So, do you really know where she is?" Li Yuanlin looked nervous, and wanted to ask her if she could tell herself, but after looking at the pair of snowy eyes that seemed to penetrate people's hearts, he knew the answer, and he still didn't open his mouth after all.
Changed the question: "What do you mean she will never come back?" ”
"Your Majesty......" Han Shili looked directly into Li Yuanlin's eyes, and his voice was calm and indifferent to the extreme: "Although the concubine doesn't know what happened that day, the concubine knows that Qing Kite hates that big wedding, and hates Helian Che even more, because he not only personally destroyed a woman's best expectations for the wedding, but what is even more hateful is that he almost killed her!" These reasons are enough to crush a woman's most fragile soul and paint the city of Tokyo as a forbidden place she hates. In this way, does the emperor understand? ”
Li Yuanlin frowned.
After a long time, the hand that was slightly raised finally hung down weakly.
Will never come back......
Does that mean he will never see her again?
Li Yuanlin's mood was lonely, and he suddenly recalled the picture in his mind that day - her expression of disappointment on his face.
It suddenly became very real, was she really disappointed in him?
But he didn't have a chance to say sorry to her......
The king's eyes were full of pain beyond remorse, and Han Shili saw it in his eyes, and his heart was deeply pierced.
She didn't understand why she had such a strange mood, and after thinking about it carefully, she realized that she was also eager to be loved, and seeing that the people around her were full of other people, she would also feel aggrieved by herself who was covered in bruises and had never felt the taste of warmth.
It's just that the unbearable past has filled her with ugly "scars", and this grievance has lost the qualification and courage to vent under the effect of "scars".
She could only silently bury all the pain in her heart, and finally turned into a helpless sigh: "The concubine retires!" ”
Fleeing from the Imperial Garden, he walked quickly and walked to the downstairs of the Imperial City before he knew it.
The palace maid Lianyi looked at Han Shili, who was walking slowly in frustration, and cautiously reminded: "Niangniang, you can't go any further, if you go again, you will have to go to the palace gate!" ”
Han Shili, who was preoccupied, suddenly woke up and came back to his senses, looked left and right, and realized that he was bent on leaving the imperial garden just now, and he actually made a mistake in the direction of returning to the palace.
"Let's go back!" Han Shili said softly.
However, when I turned around, I happened to meet Han Zigao and the ministers who went out of the palace together, and I didn't know what they were talking about, but they all had solemn faces, especially Han Zigao, whose face was almost black as Bao Gong.
Han Shili was a well-informed and courteous person, and was about to greet his father when he heard the sound of their discussion in his ears.
"Alas, this Cheng Wei is simply immoral!"
"That's it, it's just that the usual scoundrels are mixed in the market, this person is in prison, and he even insults famous ladies with obscene words! It's really unseemly! ”
"By the way, Han Taicheng knows that the scum of Nasven is still ashamed to say that he wants the Taicheng Mansion to be ruined!"
"Taicheng has a personal grudge with that scum? But now there is no need to be afraid, Cheng Ji's entire mansion has been imprisoned, and killing such a big crime as the imperial master is already certain death! ”
The ministers were silent.
At this moment, a gossipy young official spoke: "But don't you think it's strange? The famous slut in Cheng Wei's mouth had a secret pleasure with others before marriage, which family's daughter is he referring to? I don't know who was so unlucky, and finally married a broken flower and a willow. ”
Han Zigao kept his face gloomy and didn't speak, he didn't know what he was thinking, he didn't even see Han Shili in front of him.
Thanks to other ministers for reminding.
"See the concubine!"
The ministers Qi Dynasty Han Shili made a move.
And Han Shili didn't react for a while, his mood at the moment was like being naked in everyone's eyes without clothes, and he was extremely embarrassed and embarrassed.
The bloodless face didn't know what expression to make, gritted his teeth hard, barely pulled out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and his shoulders were so thin that some pitiful shoulders trembled uncontrollably, and his voice was strange: "No courtesy!" ”
After saying that, he looked at Han Zi Gao Fu, his eyes were full of water vapor, and he called softly: "Father." ”
The moment her father looked at her, tears suddenly welled up and almost fell.
Han Zigao was slightly stunned, and suddenly felt like a knife because he felt sorry for his daughter, and responded in a deep voice: "Hmm! ”
He wanted to say something, but Han Shili lowered his gaze, tried to hide his red eyes, and preemptively said, "Father, go back quickly!" Don't miss the time to leave the palace, my daughter just came out for a walk, and now she has to go back. ”
Han Zigao looked at his daughter, distressed but helpless, after all, he still took a long breath, and said to the palace maid Lianyi in a blink of an eye: "Take good care of Niangniang!" ”
Lotus clothes are blessed.
The master and servant watched the ministers leave.
Han Shili was full of grievance and anger, and stared at the backs of those people with hatred.
At this moment, she really wanted to tell them out loud that she wasn't a slut!
She's the one who suffers the most!
Why is the world always so malicious towards her? Who hasn't been in the world for the first time? Why did she have to endure all this suffering?
Why, exactly?
"Father!"
All the emotions of anger, grievance, unwillingness, pain, and depression turned into a roaring cry.
Han Zigao and the ministers stopped, looked back from afar, and looked at the beautiful woman who melted into the sunlight and seemed to be shattering and disappearing at any time.
"It's cold, winter is coming, father must remember to take care of himself, and he must also take care of Hanfu."
Han Shili laughed sadly, as if she had exhausted the strength of this life, and tears rolled down her cheeks silently disobediently, carrying her soul and falling into the abyss of despair together.
The wind was cool at night.
For the first time, Han Shili knew that looking down from a high place, the brightly lit palace looked so beautiful, but it was so far away, dotted with stars, like frozen milkflies......
Like the happiness she longed for and never got it......
Standing on the top of the imperial city, the manic wind ruffled her wanton black hair, blowing the thin white middle coat on her body, ethereal like a ghost.
This time she didn't cry again, she had shed enough tears these days, and she didn't want to look humble until the last moment.
Not far away, under the embroidered shoes was pressed a piece of paper with beautiful handwriting, and every word in it was her flesh and tears.
But now, she can no longer accuse the cruelty of this world, so she can only pray for the emperor to treat the Han family well.
And she is going to leave this world with the child in her womb.
This is the best way she can think of, not only to not have to bear the pain of killing the child with her own hands, but also to take revenge on the Chengwei family.
The most important thing is that she is finally free, and she no longer has to be tormented by these pains, immersed in gossip and panic.
Han Shili's steps moved forward, one leg hung in the air, raised his eyes and finally looked at the appearance of this world, the corners of his mouth that had lost his blood color gradually raised, he smiled sadly, and said to himself: "I'm sorry." ”
The tail note was swallowed up in a strong wind.
The moment he fell, a lot of white fog suddenly appeared in front of Han Shili's eyes, and after the fog drifted away, it seemed that he had returned to that deep alley.
Countless people suffering from the epidemic have been restored to health under her hands.
Many people smiled at her and thanked her, and there was kindness all around.
At that time, the sun was very strong, although it was very hard, but at least she was happy, and the day was still promising for her......
At that time, she never thought that her end would be shattered.
All prosperity is immersed in the sea of moonlight.
The cool moonlight quietly shone into the poignant eyes dripping with blood, and she just stared at the sky blankly, with bright stars reflected in her clear eyes, and occasional meteors falling, which can be called the most beautiful scenery in the world.
Under her body, blood flowed like a pool, and the original fresh life was rapidly losing in her body, warming the earth but cooling herself.
And in the end, it was never the so-called suffering and torture that killed her, but the fearless words of the world that were sharper than knives.
