Chapter 53: Ups and Downs
At night, Su Qinghui Xu was frightened during the day, and when she calmed down, she suddenly felt a little unhealthy, so she went out and rested early. ‘
I don't know how long she slept, but in a trance, Su Qinghui seemed to be trapped in a condensed incense, she moved her body and slowly opened her eyes.
Su Qinghui got up sideways and pulled out the bed veil, and when she saw the figure standing beside the bed, she suddenly woke up and widened her eyes.
"You're crazy."
Hearing the voice, Jing Rong slowly raised his eyes, walked over a few steps to help Su Qinghui, looked at the wound on her neck, and whispered, "Does it still hurt?" ”
Su Qinghui bit his lip and comforted him softly: "It's not painful for a long time, go back quickly, so many things happened today, the emperor must be unhappy in his heart, don't let him catch any tricks." Su Qinghui said and pushed Jingrong, "Go back." ”
Seeing that Jing Rong was just holding her hand and bowing her head without saying a word, Su Qinghui sighed helplessly, so he had to let him hold it.
"By the way, have you taken care of all those things today?"
"Yes"
Su Qinghui asked again: "What is the origin of those people who assassinated the emperor today, listen to the meaning of that person today, you have seen it." ”
"It's a civilian killer organization, and I fought against it three years ago."
Su Qinghui said tentatively: "That's someone operating behind the scenes, instigating." ”
Jing Rong shook his head: "This organization does not obey anyone's orders, it has always had its own code of conduct, and the assassination of the emperor at this time must have a reason to be found, and I have already sent someone to find clues to investigate." ”
Su Qinghui nodded: "Then the other group of people today is from the Zhao family?" ”
"No, it's from the Liu family."
Su Qinghui sneered lightly: "Heh, I looked at Zhao Mulan's posture today, and thought that the Zhao family deliberately directed and acted in this play, and wanted to get rid of me and clear up the relationship." Unexpectedly, it was the Liu family who couldn't wait. In order to protect themselves, the Liu family stretched out this hand really fast and long, for fear of staying with me for one more day and saying something that should not be said. ”
Su Qinghui said and touched the wound on his neck and said: "Fortunately, I am blessed with a great life, one side is in trouble, and all parties come to help to save my small life." ”
Jing Rong sighed lightly: "When will you learn to be obedient." ”
Su Qinghui pouted: "Learn to be good, it's impossible in this life, no, it's impossible in the next life." ”
Jing Rong took out a porcelain bottle, dipped it in some ointment, and gently wiped it on Su Qinghui's neck and said helplessly: "I just hope that you will protect yourself, and leave it to me." ”
Su Qinghui clasped her hands, tilted her head and didn't speak, the coolness spread around her neck, and in a trance, she seemed to return to the time when she was gently medicated after returning from every accident and injury. Her eyes were a little sour, and she hurriedly reached out and rubbed her eyes.
"What's wrong, it's not comfortable."
"No, does this wound leave a scar?"
Jing Rong was stunned, as if he didn't expect Su Qinghui to suddenly say this, and said with relief: "Don't worry, it will disappear in two days." ”
"That's a pity, I still want to keep it as a glorious mark of my escape."
Jing melted his hands for a moment, and was speechless for a while. Su Qinghui snorted and laughed: "Why do you believe everything, lie to you." ”
Jing Rong didn't speak, she glanced at her sideways, Su Qinghui had a stalk in her throat, and she knew that she had poked Jing Rong's anger, and scratched her head a little embarrassedly: "That, I'm really fine, Cai Wei has already given me medicine in the afternoon." ”
Jing Rong withdrew the medicine and returned to the appearance of Su Qinghui when he woke up. Su Qinghui sighed in his heart, reached out to touch Jingrong's cool hand, and whispered: "Go back, rest well, don't be too tired, you don't have to worry about me, I will take care of myself." ”
As soon as Su Qinghui finished speaking, she was pulled into Jing Rong's arms, she stretched out her hand to wrap around Jing Rong, and gently leaned on his shoulder. It seems that the chaos around her has disappeared all at once, and only the person next to her is left, gentle enough and enough to make her feel at ease.
I will wait for you, no matter how long it takes, no matter how hard it is, I will always wait for you.
On the second day, Jing Yu returned to the palace and traveled all the way with the inspection.
After returning to the palace, it was already dark, Su Qinghui was already very tired, hastily bathed, and then slept soundly, when he woke up, it was foggy outside, hiding a few points of the afterglow of the winter dawn, Su Qinghui put on his clothes, pushed open the door, and saw Huan Jian leaning on the table and nodding and napping.
Su Qinghui walked over lightly, and as soon as her clothes were stained on Huan Jian's shoulders, she opened her eyes leisurely.
"The mother is awake, hungry or not, the food is still hot on the stove, and the slave and maid will bring it."
"No need, why doesn't my aunt go in and rest."
Huan looked at Su Qinghui's clothes and said softly: "It's okay, I've rested enough in the past few days, Niangniang is sitting, I'll go get some snacks." ”
Under the candle flame, the whole person was faintly lit, and his eyebrows and eyes were gentle. A figure suddenly flashed in Su Qinghui's mind.
"Does my aunt know? I went out this time to meet a senior, and just now I looked at my aunt, and suddenly I remembered her again. ”
Huan smiled and smiled: "Really? I don't know which noble person it is. ”
Su Qinghui leaned forward and said, "Maybe my aunt still knows her." It's hanging in a small courtyard in the palace, well, it seems that there is something similar to the fourth highness between the eyebrows and eyes. Su Qinghui said to himself, not seeing the suddenly stiff body of the person in front of him.
"Most good-looking people look alike. Auntie, are you right? Su Qinghui said, seeing Huan Xuan's increasingly pale face, he was a little at a loss.
"Auntie, what's wrong with you, did I say something that shouldn't be said."
Huan Jing raised his head, and a few tears rolled in his eyes. smiled self-mockingly: "No, Niangniang didn't do anything wrong, it's Huan Jian's sin." ”
Su Qinghui bit his lip and said cautiously: "I wanted to ask my aunt before, but I didn't know how to speak, did my aunt go through something before?" Why is your identity in the Relay Division?"
Su Qinghui didn't say anything, Huan lowered his eyes and said, "Wearing a sinful body"
The air was a little silent for a while, and Huan Jian sighed and said: "The slave maid turned out to be the biological mother of the Fourth Highness, that is, the maid of Concubine Chen. ”
Su Qinghui heard someone talk about Jing Rong's mother for the first time, and was a little curious for a while: "Concubine Chen? ”
"Yes, when Concubine Chen entered the palace at the age of seventeen, the slave and maid followed, but before entering the palace, the mother already had a favorite person, but she didn't want to, but she couldn't resist the mandate of heaven, so she had to enter the palace by order, and then after a long time, Niangniang slowly became indifferent to the person outside the palace, and guarded the emperor wholeheartedly."
Huan Jing said with sadness in his eyes: "This may be the source of all tragedy." The emperor, after all, is not the mother alone, how many beauties there are in the harem, there is a conspiracy and calculation that is thousands of times more prosperous. The mother was pregnant with three children in succession, and all of them unfortunately died. ”
Su Qinghui's stomach jumped when he heard this.
Huan Jian said again: "The fourth highness is the fourth child born by the mother, in order to protect him, the emperor announced that His Royal Highness ordered Chong Jiuxing, and ordered His Royal Highness not to enter the palace before the age of seven, so he sent it to Anzhou under the pretext. Pity Concubine Chen, I didn't see it. Since then, Concubine Chen's health has deteriorated day by day, and after a few years, she went with the first emperor. As for the slave maid, the reason why she has survived until now is just a promise from the national teacher Ying Chen. ”
Su Qinghui frowned, a little puzzled.
Huan's eyes were red, and he couldn't stop his tears and said: "Concubine Chen's third child, drowning, it's my fault, I made a hole for that negative man to call the villain, if it wasn't for my negligence, those things that happened later would not have happened." ”
Su Qinghui was also a little sad, holding Huan Jian's hand and not knowing where to comfort him.
Huan sobbed in her voice, the first time she was out of shape like this: "It's me, it's me who handed the knife to Niangniang, without the despair of His Royal Highness and the first emperor, it's better to live one more day, she begged me to help her, how could I be willing, but I don't know, I don't know what happened at that time, it was me who killed her, it was me." I've done so much wrong, she still has to protect me, girl, it's my sin, I don't know how to give an account to her child, I really don't know. ”
Su Qinghui listened to the incoherent words of the person in his ear, and his heart also throbbed.
The voice flashed in his eyes again, smiling lightly, and he was full of affection just by looking at it.
Su Qinghui lowered his eyes, remembering Jing Rong's eyes when he looked at the portrait and his heart when he said those words, he felt a little distressed and bitter in his heart, it turned out that that person was your mother, and it turned out that everything in the dark had a certain number.
Outside, the night receded, and began to float brightly, and the light hit the palace, and it was cold.
A month later, Zhao was imprisoned for Zhao Kemin's inhumane work and his son for bribing officials. And Liu was also found out of the unjust thing a few years ago, participated in the murder of the governor of the state and county, accepted bribes to help others to obtain official positions, from the past to the present, has not broken his greedy heart, and now he is still bold and reckless to fight the idea of tribute, and now once it is found, the officials are impeached, and they will be beheaded in a few days.
Jing Yu flipped through the case file, hating that iron could not become steel, angry and annoyed.
"This group of waste, not confused when it should be confused, and messed up when it shouldn't be."
Seeing that the Zhao and Liu families have no use value, and now that half of the Wang family has been submerged in the water, if he doesn't make a move, I'm afraid that the Wen family and the rest of the people who teach Chen Si will be like a soft persimmon.
"Lee Sik"
"The Minister"
Jing Yu handed Li Zhi a letter: "Tell Chen Si that it's time to dig up the Jiang family, as well as Wei Shuoyan and the five princes, and continue to send people to exert pressure." ”
Li Zhi frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, the minister will do it." ”
Outside the window, at some point, it snowed sparsely, but in an instant, it was snow-white.
Huan Jian came in with her hands copied, and saw Su Qinghui sitting at the door, her eyes straight and she didn't know what she was looking at, she reached out and took a blanket to cover it and said, "Girl, it's too cold at the door, let's go in."
"Auntie, I'll watch it for a while, otherwise I'll miss it again after sleeping"
Huan Jian frowned, except for the first few days of this month, Su Qinghui was a little vomiting and uncomfortable, and the rest of the days seemed to be not enough to sleep every day, sometimes, Huan Jian, was afraid that she would really not wake up one day.
Huan Jing said softly, "Okay, the slave maid goes and moves the stove over." ”
"Auntie, sit down and watch the snow with me."
Su Qinghui said softly and slowly: "Last time, my aunt said that when you wait until autumn to make fruit wine for me, does it still count?" ”
"Of course, count it, at that time, the girl will eat whatever slave and maid she wants."
Su Qinghui touched his stomach and said with a smile: "Yes, when the time comes, this little villain will not be able to toss me." I can eat whatever I want. ”
Huan Yan gathered the blanket and said, with a smile on his face: "The girl is hard-mouthed and soft-hearted every time, and the girl still doesn't know how to hurt His Royal Highness at that time?" ”
Huan Jian said and looked up, but the person in the chair fell into chaos again, she sighed and looked out the window, I hope this winter will end soon.
Two days later, Huan Jian pinched the letter in his hand and frowned. With a soft call behind her, she turned her head to see Su Qinghui lying on the window with crooked eyebrows and eyes smiling, a rare good look.
"Why don't my aunt come in, I have newly learned paper-cutting, auntie come in and take a look."
Huan looked at the letter and smiled: "Okay, let's come in." ”
"Auntie, do you look good?"
"Good-looking"
"I cut that one for Cai Wei, and this one for my aunt."
Huan glanced at the messy table, and said helplessly: "This is how much practice it took to cut it out, Niang Niang still has to pay attention to her body, don't be tired, go to Cai Wei, take all this." ”
Su Qinghui pouted and complained, "I haven't finished cutting it yet." ”
"How old are you, you still look like a child, it's cold by the window, hurry up and lie down on the bed, Caiwei, close the palace"
"Yes"
Su Qinghui said: "What's wrong with my aunt today, either let me rest or close the palace early, Yun Yi said that she wanted to come to see me today, but she hasn't come yet." ”
"It's not too late to see tomorrow, okay, slow down, and rest early today."
Early the next morning, before Su Qinghui woke up, Huan Jian instructed in his ear not to leave the palace gate and wait for her to come back. When Su Qinghui got up and saw the locked palace door, he felt uneasy.
At noon, the palace door creaked open, and Su Qinghui raised the window to look, frowning.
"The concubine greets the saint."
"Why are you eating so much today?"
"I was a little uncomfortable, so I ate lightly."
Jingyu knocked on the table: "Come and sit down, what are you doing standing so far away?"
Su Qinghui sat beside him according to his words, and in the past month or so, Jing Yu has not come more than two or three times, and each time she just talks to her about everyday things, as if she should have been one of those women in his harem.
She wouldn't fight again, and he wouldn't bring up the man.
Jing Yu glanced at her and said, "During the day, what do you do when you lock the palace door?" ”
"I was not feeling well, and it was difficult to refute the face of the visitor, so I had to close the palace and raise myself."
"Really? Is it because you're uncomfortable, or is it the lock that Huan has put on you? ”
Su Qinghui clasped his hands and said in a deep voice: "What does the emperor want to say?" ”
Jing Yu said curiously: "Why, Huan Jian didn't tell you, did Master Jiang have an accident?" Su Qinghui was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered the title he had topped.
Jing Yu said again: "Lord Jiang, as a Dazai guard, steals and embezzles public property, which is not a misdemeanor. ”
Su Qinghui's heart skipped a beat, and he stabilized his voice: "So, what does the emperor want me to do when he comes to this trip?" ”
"I still like to talk to smart people." Jingyu said and put down his chopsticks and got up.
"This matter is very handy for you."
Jing Yu smiled, and his eyes were filled with ink: "Be kind and charitable, save people"
In the early morning, everyone dispersed, and the weak golden light swept on the ground at will, reflecting the snow outside. Jing Sheng was talking to others, and suddenly heard a few exclamations in front of him, so he hurriedly skimmed his words and turned to see the excitement.
But in a few moments, Jing Sheng's face changed and he came back, without saying a word.
Jing Rong glanced at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Jing Yu opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to answer.
Jing Rong suddenly felt uneasy in his heart, and took a few steps forward to look, breathing heavily.
At the foot of the steps, the figure knelt in the snow, dressed only in a thin white dress, with scattered green silk, red at the tip of his nose, and no blood on his lips. It's like a handkerchief that is rejected and thrown on the ground at will, and whoever comes can step on it.
Jing Rong clenched her hands, and as soon as she took a step, she was dragged by someone: "Brother, you can't be crazy, now in the past, you are harming her." ”
Jing Sheng suppressed his anger and said: "Brother, don't forget, that person is watching behind you, and if you are not careful, not only her, but everyone will be buried with you." ”
In the afterglow, a few bits of blood fell on the ground along Jing Rong's cuffs, Jing Yu was shocked, and when he saw that no one was looking, he hurriedly covered it with snow. I sighed in my heart that this place must not stay any longer.
Jing Sheng whispered comfortingly: "Brother, let's go, she and the child won't last long, go back and find a way to really save her." ”
Jing Rong finally lowered his eyes and said in a dumb voice: "Jing Sheng, go find the Queen Mother." ”
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Jing Rong glanced at the figure kneeling in the snow, suppressed the fluctuating emotions with all his might, and approached step by step.
Su Qinghui knelt in the snow, and he didn't need to look up to know what the faces of those people above should be. It's just ridicule and ridicule, and she can stand it.
It's just that she touched her stomach, and her eyes were full of distress. My mother has made you suffer again, and when you come out, my mother will definitely compensate you well, and you can eat whatever you want.
There was a sudden burst of condensation on the tip of her nose, she looked up, Jing Rong was dressed in a dark robe, standing a meter away, and her eyes were thick and black. Little by little, the snow fell in the middle, silently and silently. Su Qinghui's eyes were red, he held back his astringency, and stretched out his hand to gently cover his heart. It just stopped there quietly, motionless.
The incense drew closer, enveloped her, and slowly dispersed. Su Qinghui lowered her hand and gently put it in the footprint, and there was a lot of chaos around, coming and going, but which side of her hand landed forever, and she never gave up.
