Chapter 13: The White-Haired Veteran
Lying on the bed in a daze, I didn't know what was going on outside, and the palace ladies were very tight-lipped with a tacit understanding, and they knew at a glance that it was someone's meaning. However, after lying for more than half a month, she has been much better in the past few days, and she can already get out of bed and walk around.
Just walked around the garden and returned to the room, Dye called Yao who was watering the flowers, "I see that you just wanted to talk and stopped, is there something going on over there with Wan Niang?" "During this time, because of pregnancy and miscarriage, I haven't heard from Wan Niang for a long time, and I don't know how she is prepared?
"Girl, Wan Niang is just worried about the girl's body, after the last time she entered the palace to testify, she was much more low-key over there, afraid that too many movements would bring more danger to the girl." Yao is indeed a very beautiful girl, but she always looks serious with a straight look, otherwise it must be a disaster.
"I'm not much better, don't worry, I just want to end this as soon as possible, I'm fed up with such a mermaid life." In the tone of dyeing, there was a murderous aura for the first time.
"The girl already knows who did it?" Yao was startled and thought of the one who hanged herself in Tingxiang Palace, but she didn't mention it.
"No, I don't know, maybe no one did it on purpose, but God just has mercy on me." Yes, if she really gave birth to this person whose hands were stained with the flesh and blood of her loved blood donor, how should she hate him in the future and how she should love the child, maybe no, it is the best result.
"Relax the girl, child, there will still be, the king is so infatuated with the girl." Yao didn't know how to consol her.
"Maybe," he might not care too much even if he knew that he was here to listen to secrets, "Or trouble Wan Niang to arrange it as soon as possible, so that the king can have an opportunity to meet the talents she has snared." ”
"Okay, I'll go and bring the words, the girl has a good rest, and her face is still not very good." Yao hugged the dye to the collapse to rest, and then retreated.
That person hasn't been here for a long time, maybe he feels that he can't complete his grand cause, give up, if that's the case, you won't have to see each other in the future, it's good, really.... All right....
In the evening of this day, Cocoon came to Liuyunxuan to accompany him to dinner, looking as usual, as if the fact that he had not shown up for many days was the imagination of others, and Dye did not ask.
"You are well now, accompany me to live in the suburban courtyard for a few days, now is the season when the peach tree bears fruit, there is a peach forest in the courtyard, the peaches that bear fruit every year are big and sweet, and it will always be bad when it is transported, it is a pity, this year we go there, just sit under the peach tree and eat peaches, there must be a different taste." Cocoon looked for a conversation and explored the mood of the dye.
"I really want to go out for a walk, but I'm afraid those people from the previous dynasty won't allow it, if you really want to go, let's take Concubine Lan with you." When Cocoon heard the words Lan Guifei, her face froze, her chopsticks slipped off, Dye also noticed something unusual, stared at Cocoon curiously, only to see that Cocoon's face changed back and forth a few times, and then sighed, beckoned Gong E to remove the dinner, only left wine, poured herself two glasses, and then spoke again: "Lan Gui... Juan'er, she has died, and I didn't come here a few days ago because of this. With that, he took another drink.
"Dead?! Why, on the day of my accident, she wasn't fine, I remember that she also asked Ling'er to send supplements. "Dye was a big surprise.
Cocoon, I had to drink while detailing the forest, after speaking, I was already a little dizzy, my face turned red, and finally I just chattered: "She said her name is Lian'er, she doesn't want to be Lan Guifei, Lian'er, Lian'er...."
Dye instructed the internal officials to send the cocoon back to Zhong Zhengdian, and called Yao again: "You also know that Concubine Lan hanged herself?" ”
Yao had no choice but to nod and said, "Yes, everyone in the harem knows that the king asked everyone except Liuyunxuan to go to Tingxiang Hall to guard the spirit." After speaking, he cautiously looked at his dyed face: "Girl, do you blame me for not telling you?" ”
Dye waved his hand: "Of course I know, you are afraid that I will be more sad, but I always feel that this matter is not so simple, and it is too hasty to judge it based on just one grass." "I'm afraid that the man is just seeing that the dream to be realized has come to fruition, and he is too angry for a while, and he doesn't know how to vent, so he has to find a scapegoat.
"Many people in the harem believe that it is the hand of Concubine Lan, after all, she has embarrassed the girl many times, and only the girl is comparable to her in the harem, she has always had no queen, I am afraid that the girl will take the lead, and then overpower her to become the queen, so it is logical." Yao talked about the private discussions of the palace people, and he also felt that it was very reasonable.
"She really loves Cocoon, and this is the only one, so she won't hurt Cocoon's flesh and bones." Although the flesh and blood are not cocooned, only himself and Yan know about it, in the eyes of Lan Guifei, it is the blood of the person she loves the most, how can she hurt it, thinking that Lan Guifei is defeated, and it is logical in the eyes of the world.
"Then if she wasn't the real murderer, why hang herself? Isn't it suicide in fear of sin? Yao was still puzzled.
"She's just disappointed and helpless." Dye suddenly felt that Concubine Lan's previous high-minded appearance exuded a bleak aura. She is afraid that she will never have this kind of love in her life, no matter who she is.
"By the way, let Wan Niang send a message to Ning Guo's side, and help Young Master Yi find the general together, which can be regarded as a sincerity for us to send the riveting family." After dyeing the order, let Yao go down. I think she also hopes so, facing the night, she said silently in her heart, I can only do so much for you, in the next life, we can all be free birds.
Ten days later, in the dense forest of the border pass, a figure dressed in the clothes of the guards of the palace of the city of Jiaocheng handed over a codex to Ling'er, who had been accompanying Young Master Yi in the border pass to find the general, and said a few more words, and then rode away. Ling'er returned to the Chinese military tent and handed the codex to Young Master Yi, and when Young Master Yi opened it, he was overjoyed, and it turned out to be the general's whereabouts during this time.
"Who gave this to you?" Young Master Yi hurriedly asked Ling'er.
"Someone sent it in disguise as a Praetorian Guard, but I know this person." Ling'er's face was a little more calm.
"You know? Is it from the palace? Yi's brow furrowed.
"She is the palace lady in the palace of the bewitching lady, who is responsible for serving flowers and plants, called Yao, and is the best at planting orchids, I went to consult with her, so I know." Ling'er replied.
"Enchanting Madame Palace? If it weren't for that woman, how could there have been so many things? My sister is suspected of killing her child, how can she help me?! Young Master Yi couldn't help but get excited when he thought of his sister's tragic death.
"Young master, calm down, in addition to this letter, she also brought a few words from Mrs. Enchanting, can you decide after listening to it?" Ling'er gently patted Yi's shoulder and comforted the young general who was now fighting alone.
"Then you can say it."
"She said that Mrs. Enchanting believes that the miscarriage has nothing to do with the master, but someone deliberately arranged a plan to kill two birds with one stone, although she and the master are occasionally jealous, but after all, they are all trivial matters between daughters, and it is not worth mentioning compared with the stability of the country, and I hope that Young Master Yi will find the general as soon as possible, and the court with the riveting family can reassure the king." After seeing the young master's expression relax slightly, Ling'er continued: "She also said that this time, Mrs. Enchanting also lost her child who had been pregnant for many months, and the mother and son were connected, and the degree of heartache was not inferior to that of the young master Now, her hatred for that person is naturally no less than that of the young master." Please also ask the young master to believe that she is as eager to find the general's heart. ”
After listening to Ling'er's words, Young Master Yi muttered for a while, and then instructed his subordinates to prepare to set off as soon as dawn.
Yao, who had been stopping not far away to observe the movement in the tent, watched Young Master Yi take Ling'er and a few personal soldiers to set off in the direction given in their letters, and then hurried back to Liuyunxuan to resume his life.
"It's done, girl!" Yao whispered while she was walking in the garden.
"Well, hard work." Dye knew that after this incident, it was no longer possible for the Riveting family to be on the same front as Yan, but so that they could become cocoons and their own help, they were still a little bit hot, but the bad part was on the cocoon.
After another half a month, news came from the border pass that Young Master Yi had found the general and was hurrying towards the royal tomb. Dye got the news a day faster than the court, so for the first time, she took the initiative to invite Cocoon to Liuyunxuan for lunch, and sent away the palace people who accompanied her, leaving only the two of them.
"Do you have something to tell me?" Cocoon is a little nervous, afraid that after dyeing so much, he will get tired of the harem.
"It's been a while since Concubine Lan was buried, has the king ever been to the royal tomb to see?" Dye straight to the point.
"I, I'm a little, I don't know how to face her." Cocoon stole a glance at the eye, wondering why she asked.
"I thought that Concubine Lan would definitely not be the murderer who killed my flesh and blood in the womb, but she had already hanged herself and could no longer justify her name, so I could only ask you to go to her mausoleum and tell me that you and you had no suspicion of her, and you were forced to resort to your rights and interests at that time, so that it not only comforted her to be in the heavens, but also made my and your hearts much lighter." The expression of dyeing the cocoon has loosened, and she has added strength: "If she hadn't liked me very much when she was alive, I should have gone this time." I don't know why, she doesn't want Cocoon to know what she is thinking, she always feels that he doesn't know that he can make the deceased more comforting.
"Don't, don't go, your body is important," Cocoon paused: "I will leave early tomorrow morning, and I will bring your heart, and you don't have to worry so much all the time." With that, Cocoon instructed her a few more words, and left without running out of lunch.
Dye looked at his back, and felt a little emotional, how many people would be killed by that person's own desires.
Three days later, Cocoon returned to the palace with the long-missing Riveting General and Young Master Yi.
The riveting general seems to be dozens of years old, and when he left, he was a famous general who sat on a high horse in high spirits, and he has become a thin old man with white hair and a frosty face, and with the support of his son, he trembled and walked to the Tingxiang Hall where his daughter lived before his death, and stood stunned at the door, his eyes seemed to reflect the scene of his daughter running happily to call him, and he stood until the sunset and the moonrise, and then came back to his senses and whispered: "Let's go, I'm tired." ”
After the riveting general, he never entered the palace again, and the general's responsibilities were gradually handed over to his son, and the general's final decision to the court was that the riveting family had no contact with Yan Xiang again.
