Volume 2: Ten Years of Life and Death [43] The winter is gone

The arm shook slightly without moving, and three poisonous needles silently clamped between the fingertips.

Mei Xiang glared at Chu Changting angrily, and slowly raised her hand.

At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on Chu Changting's door, Mei Xiang was stunned, her hand was slightly oblique, and the three poisonous needles were difficult to recover for a while, Mei Xiang hurriedly used internal force to force a few poisonous needles to turn around, and the three poisonous needles shot straight into the table leg behind Chu Changting, and the wood was silent, but the wood had gradually turned black.

Chu Changting was also stunned when he heard the sound of the door, but he didn't notice Mei Makeup's small movements, he just rolled to support his weak body, pointed to the door with his fingers slightly and motioned for Mei Makeup to open the door to deal with it, and then staggered to the screen and hid his figure.

Mei Xiang bit her lip fiercely to control her killing intent that she was about to be unable to contain, and a little blood appeared on her lower lip, lining her pale and colorless lip flap, like red glass beads. She got up and went to the door, closed her eyes and took a long breath, exhaling like the low roar of a beast, her body trembled slightly with this long breath, and she opened her eyes with all her anger, and the murderous aura in her eyes had been gone.

Mei makeup opened the door, and what hit her eyes was Su He's elegant and fairy-like figure, but unfortunately that delicate face was dull and colorless at the moment, with a hint of sickness and weakness, as if she had just experienced an unknown great sorrow.

"I heard from my fair lady that you're back." Su He saw Mei Makeup, his dim eyes flashed a trace of starlight, he looked at Mei Makeup's red and swollen eyes, and knew that there was no need to hide his sadness in the face of her, so he no longer forced himself to smile, but said lightly, "It's hard work, let's rest here for a few days...... Eh, why don't you see ......? ”

Mei Xiang tilted her head slightly, and glanced at Su He to indicate that there was still Chu Changting in the house, and it was inconvenient for her to say more. Then he took a slight step forward, lowered his voice and said quickly and briefly: "Safety." ”

Su He bowed slightly, and he didn't ask too much, the green pine and bamboo-like figure trembled slightly in the evening breeze, and his voice was hoarse and low.

"I asked my mother-in-law to send dinner to the two girls' houses, eat a little bit, don't spoil your body."

As he spoke, the corner of his eye inadvertently caught a glimpse of the table leg embedded with poison needles exposed due to the change in Mei Makeup's standing position just now, the silver needles were cold into the wood, stained with jet black and poisonous gas, his eyes couldn't help but froze, he looked at Mei Makeup's eyebrows with her head down, and saw that there was a slight cyan aura floating in the center of her eyebrows. Su He's heart was filled with a slight chill, and the tone of his voice changed subtly, and his voice was lowered.

"The sword on the battlefield is eyeless, life and death are unpredictable, and the death of Liangchen on the battlefield is indeed a painful thing for you and me at the moment."

"As a close friend of Liangchen, I also know that Lord Mei's heart is hard to suppress at the moment, but Liangchen fights for the country and dies for the country, which is a matter of honor and righteousness in life and death. It's a pity that it's hard to die, I think if the hope of Liangchen is concerned, and the plum master and I can still help him to complete, then I think Liangchen can rest in peace with a smile if he knows it. ”

"In addition, let me say one more thing, although Lord Mei is Liangchen's entourage, but after all, he was born in Meimen, and he is still the emperor's person after all. But I hope that at this time, Lord Mei will not forget His Majesty's entrustment, and help His Majesty achieve His Majesty's expectations, and in the future, the iron horse and silver spear will level the southern barbarians, which will really not only avenge the good day, but also fulfill His Majesty's wishes, and everyone will be happy. The plum lord is also worthy of the two masters, and he has lived up to his kindness. ”

A few words, but there are needles hidden in them. not only pointed out that Liangchen's death was the fault of the Nanban on the battlefield and not Chu Changting, but also implicitly reminded her of the instructions that Shen Liangchen had instructed her to take care of Chu Changting, and secretly used the emperor's authority to force her to restrain her hands and feet, and stop trying to make some small moves.

"Thank you for your kindness, keep the plum makeup in mind." Mei Xiang felt a slight pain in her heart and wanted to sneer, but the muscles on her face stiffened, making her unable to make any even hypocritical expressions. Her voice was cold, she bowed slightly, then took a step back and closed the door softly but tightly.

Su He looked at the closed door, did not move for a long time, his face slowly turned from pale to gloomy, and then slowly turned from gloomy to pale. It was a short time, but Su He experienced an uproar in his heart. At this moment, he knew that still letting Mei Xiang and Chu Changting share a room would bring death to Chu Changting, but she still entered the house and closed the door. There is a slight hint of secret luck in his heart, if Mei Makeup killed Chu Changting with his own hands, although he Su Mansion will not be able to escape the blame, but the culprit is not his Su Mansion after all, and the emperor can only punish Mei Makeup, who belongs to him but inexplicably rebelled. In this way, Su Fu was left behind the calamity imposed on him by the emperor that could detonate at any time.

But when he thought about it like this, the guilt for Shen Liangchen came overwhelmingly, making him feel uneasy in his heart. The bones of his best friend are not cold, but he wants to abandon his best friend's love in the mud in order to protect his life. A chill hit him, and he suddenly felt so dirty and ugly.

But for a long time, half an hour, he finally brushed his sleeves and left, with a slight tear in the corner of his eyes flickering lightly, but he was soon crushed in the lonely air by the thin wind of the cool spring evening.

When Mei Makeup returned to the house, the evil spirit in her heart gradually dissipated a little because of Su He's words, and she watched Chu Changting slowly walk out from behind the screen, only to realize that in just a few days, Chu Changting seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

Chu Changting looked at Mei Makeup, her cheeks were crimson because of crying, and the sparkling in her eyes gave people a delicate illusion of wanting to say that she was ashamed, but as long as she looked carefully at her eyes and looked at the pool of stagnant water behind the waves, you could see that her heart was already frozen three feet cold.

"Plum makeup...... What about Nampo? Chu Changting's voice trembled, like the rippled and messy lake water disturbed by the stones, the water waves surged again and again, and the cold water that was difficult to reach in the deep sunlight was pushed to the surface of the water, flooding with a cowardly cold air one after another. She asked cautiously, her eyes also cautiously looking at Mei Makeup, her hand tightly clutching her cuffs, for fear of hearing nightmarish news again.

"Miss don't worry." Mei Xiang comforted softly, she was like ashes at the moment because of the news of Liangchen's death, but she had to hold on to build a fire in the ashes to deal with this noisy world full of malice, but the warmth of the slight fire could not expel the heavy lifeless air around her, making her voice as depressed as a dead leaf, "After the hundred-faced fan stunned you and me that day, he intended to sell me and the little young master as slaves. I woke up and tried my best to escape, but the little master was nowhere to be found. So I left one of them alive and asked carefully, it turned out that the young master was sold to Fengzhao by them before I woke up, and I heard that it was a rich and noble family who had no children all year round, so I bought it to be a godson and raised it by my side. Fortunately, on the way back, I heard that the young master of the Chu family was found in the Fengzhao wilderness three days ago, and it had been hastily taken away by the officers and soldiers, and all the wanted notices in the country were taken down. I don't know which one saved the little master for the dead ghost, please rest assured, Miss, now your sister and brother are in a safe place. The hundred-faced fan seller has always sold rich and noble people to make a lot of money, the little young master is auspicious, I believe that the Buddha blesses, and there will be no worries about life. ”

"It's just that it's difficult for your sister and brother to see each other at this time, if you want to get together, I'm afraid there is only Hui Fengzhao."

Mei Makeup said a series of words that had been made up earlier. When Chu Changting heard this, his face turned pale for a while, and then flushed for a while, and his heart was relaxed and then tightened, and then loosened again. She was glad that a child had taken her brother's life, and took pity on the innocent child's corpse in the wilderness; She was saddened that the two siblings were separated by flesh and blood, but she was relieved that her brother would not worry about his life.

"No, I want to, I'm going back to Nanpu." Chu Changting bit his lip, turned his face to the north, and looked in the direction of Feng Zhao with a confused gaze. There was a hint of determination on his pale face.

At this time, her face finally got rid of the gloomy and dead air that she had learned of the bad news of her beloved's death, and showed a faint sense of anger. The inseparable feeling of anger rooted in flesh and blood affection, at this time, under the snow-white skin of her face, in the snow in her heart, sobbing blood wanted to come out.

"But there are so many wealthy families in Fengzhao, when will Miss find out." Mei Xiang frowned.

"If you can't find it for a day, you can find it for a lifetime, and if you can't find it for a lifetime, you can find it for a Chu Changting's deep cold well-water-like eyes flashed with a faint light, she gritted her teeth, her jaw trembled slightly, and she said word by word heavy and resolutely.

"How can I feel at ease that he is alone in Fengzhao. He was only seven years old, and how he had found his place in that unpredictable land. If you are deceived by others and accidentally leak your mouth and expose your identity, how can you protect yourself. ”

"The most important thing is that I can't afford to lose my brother. I will not allow him to be humiliated and bullied in a place where I cannot see. I don't want him to be bound by secular rituals and laws every day, and to be bound everywhere by unknown origins. I don't want him to be cautious everywhere because of his status as an adopted son, thinking about how to please his parents and friends every day, I don't want him to be ridiculed and ridiculed by the same year because of his unknown origin, and I don't want him to be vain and laugh in order to gain a foothold in an unfamiliar environment. ”

"I won't."

"Because of this, it's not a child of the Chu family."

Even if the word Chu has become a reverse language that everyone avoids, it has become a humiliation for those who have a surname.

Chu Changting said, his pale face gradually spread a faint but strange luster, and the deep well with misty autumn eyes like a withered black turned into a vast starry sky, and the floating clouds dispersed, bursting out with a warm light that penetrated the cold winter. In the trembling starry sky, at the end of the night, there was a dense water vapor with the stars, converging into the Milky Way and pouring out.

Mei Xiang had never seen Chu Changting like this. It is not broken or standing, it is left to die and reborn, but the scarred fragments of the body still have light that tenaciously overflows from the cracks, and it seems to be boundless sky light at first glance.

Just because, she is his sister and his only relative.

Just because, he is the younger brother and her only relative.

Today's Qingming, the winter is gone, the air is clear, everything is revealed, and the fighting spirit is finally ignited.

In the past, she was the daughter of the Prime Minister's house, the first talented woman of Fengzhao, and the first beauty of Tianzhuo. At this moment, she finally revealed her wet demeanor after washing all the lead.

Mei Makeup even forgot her grief at the moment. Her heart was slightly sour, as if she had thought of someone, and there was a slight bitterness in her throat, which made her trance.

She also has a sister.
