Chapter 025: The sound of the flute fell asleep in the middle of the night
The living have treacherous thoughts and dark clouds, but those who have come back from the dead lie in the prison and sleep profusely.
Xie Fenghua is dreaming.
She dreamed of a high wall with a dog hole in the corner, and a boy stuck in the dog hole was staring at her with a wary face.
She crouched down and asked the boy, "What's your name?" ”
The boy didn't answer.
She was not in a hurry, looked at the end of the alley, shook her head and said, "Are you running for your life?" If you don't tell me your name, I won't let you escape. ”
As she spoke, she shook the dagger in her hand with a rebellious expression.
The boy lowered his head and thought for a while, and said in a cold voice, "My name is Zhao Pei." ”
"Alright, I'll do what I say." She pulled Zhao Pei out of the dog hole, and at this time a group of villains chased after him at the end of the alley, each with a thick stick in his hand, she pulled him and ran, turned the alley, and a carriage came on, and she dragged Zhao Pei into it.
Sitting in the car was a young lady of the same age, looking curiously at the two of them who had crept in out of thin air.
That was the first time she had met Du Pingfei.
Du Pingfei's still immature face flashed in the dream, and the picture turned to the post station on a snowy day.
The post station is full of lights, and the sound of silk and bamboo is endless, so it is not lively.
She stood at the door of the inn, looking up at the big red lantern hanging under the eaves, her teeth chattering with cold. With a squeak, the window on the second floor was suddenly pushed open, revealing Du Pingfei's delicate and bright bridal makeup.
"You've lost!" Du Pingfei's lips moved, sending this silent provocation.
She rolled over and got on her horse, but was stopped by the maid who rushed out. The maid handed over a piece of paper with a sentence written on it - Xie Fenghua, I want to be in love with my husband on the rivers and mountains you have beaten down!
She rode away, and as the whip fell, confetti fluttered into the snow.
All the way forward, the snow is covered and the sky is endless. The music of marriage gradually faded away, and the sound of war drums resounded in my ears.
Standing in front of the tent, facing the fluttering snow, she explained to the young man in front of her: "This trip is dangerous, you must be extra careful. ”
"Boss, wait for my good news! When those Western captives are destroyed, I will come back and drink the wine you cooked!" ”
The tall figure of the young general was covered by the wind and snow, and the piles of bones and the spread of blood were also buried. She brandished her long sword and looked at the fallen soldiers one by one, her eyes were about to split.
In an instant, the headache is splitting!
Her face was as pale as paper, and cold sweat the size of a bean rolled down her face, wetting the straw on the ground.
Suddenly, there seemed to be the sound of a flute in the distance.
Qingyue, gentle, from the end of the long sky leisurely, like a hand caressing the dark clouds, in an instant the clouds break the moon open, the sea sails. The undulating sea of heart, as if smoothed by that hand, gradually turns quiet.
Xie Fenghua slowly opened his eyes, listening to the sound of the sky at this moment, and the struggle and pain in his eyes gradually dissipated.
She looked at the small open window above the wall, and her expression was dazed.
It was the memory of the young three, and it appeared in her dream for the first time.
"I'll lay down this country for you, and in the future you will be the emperor, and you will make me the generalissimo!"
"Okay, that's a deal."
That year, at the age of eleven, she left her hometown and went to the border pass, just for a promise she made when she was young.
That year, running thousands of miles to watch people get married, she was independent of the ice and snow, and was soaked in the coldness of her heart.
After that turn, she completely blocked the news from Tianjing, and stayed in the desolate place day after day. And that little bit of children's love was also consumed in the sword light and sword shadow, the bloody sea and the bloody wind, and there was no trace.
Unwilling?
It doesn't seem to be either.
She looked at the starlight outside the small window in a daze, pillowed the sound of the flute, and fell asleep unconsciously.
When she woke up again, it was already dark, and the cell boss came to deliver food, and she saw Yuan Minzhou following closely behind.
She subconsciously looked at his legs.
No, he instantly darkened his face, glared at her, and asked, "How did you sleep last night?" ”
"Okay." Xie Fenghua avoided the important and said lightly, "What is the progress today?" ”
Yuan Minzhou lifted his robe and sat opposite her, "Yesterday I entered the palace to see the emperor and asked for your will. Not only do you not have to stay in the prison today, but you can also follow me to investigate the case. ”
"Huh? What is the rationale for this? Xie Fenghua is not familiar with the laws and regulations of the imperial court, and he has never heard such a statement, "I am guilty of sin, shouldn't I avoid suspicion?" ”
Yuan Minzhou hurriedly explained: "This is the law of the Criminal Department of this dynasty. Both the plaintiff and the defendant have the opportunity to prove for themselves, so as to demonstrate the fairness of the imperial court's laws. ”
Whoever says who will give proof, that's pretty good.
She nodded and said appreciatively, "The person who can come up with this method is simply a genius." ”
"Thanks for the compliment." Yuan Minzhou's face glowed.
Xie Fenghua was stunned and looked at him in disbelief, "This method shouldn't have been you thought of, right?" ”
"Clever!" Yuan Minzhou raised his eyebrows, extremely proud, "Do you particularly worship me at this time?" ”
The corners of Xie Fenghua's mouth twitched, can she take back the compliment she just had?
Yuan Minzhou selectively ignored her protest and asked, "What are you going to do?" This matter is very important, and even Queen Du, who is in the harem, is paying attention to ......"
"Wait, what did you say?" Xie Fenghua interrupted him and confirmed again, "You said that Empress Du knew about this?" ”
"That's right!" Yuan Minzhou looked at her suspiciously, told her how he met Du Pingfei when he entered the palace yesterday, and finally asked, "What is your expression?" But what's wrong? ”
Of course not!
Now that Du Pingfei knows about this, she can't get out of here for half a step.
She's changed her mind!
"I'm going to stay in the prison, not going anywhere!"
