Volume 2: Ten Years of Life and Death [65] The Mei Twins (2)
In the gloomy firewood room, Mei Makeup, whose hair was meticulously combed, sat upright in the corner, and when the door opened, the light from the outside spilled in, and Mei Makeup's eyes narrowed, but she didn't look at who it was.
"Plum makeup." The cold and clear voice sounded, Mei Rong was stunned, slowly opened her eyes, her jaw trembled slightly, and she didn't dare to look at the person's face.
"Why did you do this... Confused things. Do you know that you killed someone the emperor put on the tip of his heart, aren't you killing yourself in this way? Mei Rong's voice became clearer and clearer, and the tone of the voice was straight and cold, without a trace of emotion, which was the standard way of speaking for the Mei family.
"Mei Rong." Mei Xiang muttered - the two sisters have never called each other sisters since they were born, but have always been referred to by their names, "One person does things and one person is responsible, you don't have to care about me." ”
"Why can't I care about you?" Mei Rong frowned deeply, and her tone became a little hurried, "You are my own sister." ”
As soon as these words came out, both of them were stunned. A surprised and strange color appeared on Mei's face, and she barely got up, still with a faint pain in her shoulder. Mei Rong watched Mei Makeup walk towards her, her slanted shoulders thin and thin, and her heart ached.
"This is the first time you've called me my sister." Mei Rong leaned on Mei Rong's shoulder, smiled sadly, tears slid down, "But it's about the last time...... Sister. She bit the last two words very clearly.
"I still don't understand why, but I don't seem to be the same as before." Mei Rong's hand stiffly stroked Mei Rong's head, and her voice was stained with a little moonlight softness, "You and my sisters, as the head of the Mei family, have violated the Mei family's family motto. ”
"Blame me. It's that I'm so greedy and always want to have more. Mei Rong rubbed her shoulder with attachment, "I'll die in three days." It's a pity that as soon as I understood the preciousness of family and blood, I was going to lose it forever. ”
"I heard from the guards in the firewood room that in three days, you will personally execute me. Watching you die like this will make me suffer a little less. ”
"Nope." Mei Rong's index finger gently stroked Mei Rong's pale lips that had been peeled by thirst, and the rough touch of her hand made her chest feel stuffy for a while. She was silent for a long time, and suddenly said firmly word by word: "I will definitely let you live." Believe me. ”
The night is deep, silent and quiet, with the occasional bird skimming through the darkness, leaving behind the sound of flapping wings and falling feathers.
A rosy red figure ran wildly above the beams, and a group of guards behind him were chasing frantically. Yi Lunhuan was awakened by the news of Mei Makeup's absconding, and his face was gloomy and terrifying.
Kang Jiuhe helped Yi Lunhuan change his clothes, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Miss Meiyan has already gone to chase after her." ”
"Where's Mei Rong?" Yi Lunhuan's expression eased slightly, and he asked with suppressed anger.
"Miss Mei Rong was found unconscious in the firewood room. It should have been knocked out by plum makeup. Kang Jiuhe said softly, for fear that if he spoke a little higher, he would provoke Yi Lunwan's anger. It's a pity that no matter how cautious his voice is, he can't stand it, and Yi Lunhuan is already angry at this moment. "What is she going to do in the firewood room! I have forgotten all about my words! Yi Lunhuan pulled the hanger on the side to the ground with a thud, and the wood that he grabbed broke into a piece of wood residue in response. Kang Jiuhe was frightened, Yi Lunhuan had always been forbearant in his memory, and he had never seen him so angry. Kang Jiuhe hurriedly knelt down and comforted him repeatedly: "Your Majesty is angry, maybe Miss Meirong has a last resort." ”
"Wake her up with a basin of cold water, and let her go and see what her good sister is doing." Yi Lunhuan put on a coat, glanced at the sawdust all over the ground in disgust, and then hurried in the direction of Mei Makeup's escape.
Because of the plum makeup escaped, Su Fu was brightly lit, and the noisy sound woke Chu Changting up from her sleep, in fact, she didn't sleep very well originally, and in the intermittent half-dream and half-awakening, she suddenly opened her eyes wide. The Splendid Pavilion is empty and dark, and the Splendid Pavilion is especially dazzling lights and noisy crowds.
"Yan'er, what's going on outside?" Chu Changting's heart was beating violently, and at this time, the scene made her suddenly remember that the Chu Mansion three months ago was also such a dark night, and it was also such a torch and noise, where she lost everything.
The past seemed to be in front of her again, Chu Changting's chest was as stabbed as a knife, she clenched her teeth tightly, the green tendons on her hands holding the quilt were bulging, and tears were condensed on her long eyelashes, like unfallen rain.
"I heard that it was the Mei makeup who killed Mo Li who ran away, Long Yan was furious and sent a lot of people to chase it." That Yan'er is the maid that Yi Lunhuan selected for her yesterday, I don't know if it is Chu Changting's illusion, she always feels that Yan'er's eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Xun'er, so she is more willing to be close to her.
"Ran away?" Chu Changting's voice involuntarily became a little louder, and at this time, an indescribable feeling came to her heart, making her not know whether she was sad or happy at the moment. She sorted out her thoughts, suppressed the emotion in her heart that made her want to tremble, and asked slowly: "The firewood room is so tightly guarded, how did she run?" ”
"This slave doesn't know. Miss, don't worry about it so much, let's rest. Yan Er intimately tidied up the bedding for Chu Changting, and said quickly.
"It's so noisy outside, how do I fall asleep?" Chu Changting glanced at this nervous but kind and caring little girl speechlessly, and her eyes were soft that she didn't even realize, "I can't sleep left and right, let's light the lights in the house." ”
Yan'er pouted, and while slowly going to light the lamp, she muttered: "Miss, I'm still sleepy if you're not sleepy, I still want to sleep if you don't sleep......"
"What?" Chu Changting sighed in a funny voice, she looked at Yan'er's dangling back stupidly, and suddenly felt that this back coincided with a certain coquettish back in her memory, and the tears slipped down like broken beads in an instant, she couldn't help but urgently call her name, but what responded to her was Yan'er's puzzled gaze.
"Seeking? Is Miss looking for something? Yan'er asked with a wink of confusion.
"It's all right." Chu Changting smiled lightly and withdrew his gaze. The slender, cold hand caresses the face, and there is a viscous liquid in the palm of the hand.
The Splendid Pavilion also lit up the lights, and Chu Changting changed his clothes and was about to go out, but he was blocked by a little maid who came in a hurry from outside. The little maid had obviously been running for a long time, dressed roughly, and her little face was flushed. She stood at the door and panted to Chu Changting and said, "The emperor decrees that no one is allowed to leave the house." Now that the sinner has been surrounded in the Su Mansion, it will be very dangerous if she rushes out of the house. ”
"Already... Is it fenced? Chu Changting muttered, her eyes flickered, like a star hidden in the depths of a cold well, flashing a weak light silently, unable to distinguish between cold and warm.
"Miss, remember to close the doors and windows, the slave and maid will retire first." The little maid hurried away. Chu Changting stood by the door and looked outside, the guards holding torches shouted and ran around the mansion, she bit her lip, turned around and smiled at Yan'er, and said, "Yan'er, you go to the back compartment and bring my favorite cow fracture fan." ”
"Okay, got it." Yan'er replied happily, sounding like he was in a lot of spirits.
Confirming that Yan'er went to the back compartment to find the bull fracture fan that didn't exist at all, Chu Changting took a deep breath, pushed open the door and ran out.
The Su Mansion is now in chaos. Mei Makeup seemed to be deliberately causing a disturbance in the courtyards, so the guards were scattered in the courtyards, like headless flies. Chu Changting took advantage of the chaos, slipped to Qingshuzhai with his waist against the wall, and saw that the lights were also on inside, so he pushed the door straight in.
In Qingshu Zhai, Han Yaoxi sat on a mahogany chair, and the Biluochun in the white porcelain cup on the side was still steaming. The candle flame swayed with the wind brought by the opening and closing of the door, and shook off a case of lights.
The woman in the blue skirt looked straight ahead with empty eyes, and the crystal tears hung on her fair face, with an ethereal beauty.
Chu Changting closed the door, and before he could turn around, he heard Han Miao's cold voice sound: "What are you doing here?" See my jokes? ”
Chu Changting was stunned for a moment, she slowly turned around, and when she looked at Han Miaoting again, she found that the tears on her face had been wiped away. The lonely disdain and a condescending arrogance in the eyes of the unopened sleeping phoenix made her suddenly think of the first time she saw Hua Manlou, and it was also such a pair of arrogant eyes that disdained the world, and there was a dark fragrance floating in the dark pupils when she saw her. It's just that after getting acquainted with each other later, Han Yaoxi never showed such a proud expression in front of her, so much so that she almost forgot about it.
"What does Miss Su Si mean by looking at me like this, I am afraid that I can't tolerate you." Han Miaoxi raised her eyebrows, and there was a natural arrogance in her voice.
"My aunt, you misunderstood, I'm not Su Jin." Chu Changting gave Han Miaoting a firm look, and then made a silent gesture, and lowered his voice, "I'm Mo Li, Chu Changting." ”
"What?" Han Miao's heart hung suddenly, there were sparks burning in the galaxy in her dark eyes, and her breathing became rapid and messy, "Really? What happened? ”
"It's true." Chu Changting sat down beside Han Miao, took her hand, and told her everything that had happened. After listening to Chu Changting quietly, Han Miaoting finally couldn't help but burst the embankment with tears, her eyes were full of joy that she had regained, she pulled Chu Changting over and hugged her tightly in her arms, her voice was hoarse and choked, and said, "Great, great." I almost thought I had lost you. ”
The joy of being lost and regained is a gift from Heaven's mercy.
As soon as Han Miao's words fell, Chu Changting instantly burst into tears. She also hugged Han Miaoxi tightly and sobbed slightly: "Miao, do you know, I lost hope of life before, and I always felt that the whole world was bleak. But after I got to know you, I realized that there will always be endless expectations and ties in this world, and there will always be a steady stream of love and emotions in this world. When people live, there is hope. ”
"In the days to come, we will walk together." Han Miaoji smiled and patted Chu Changting's shoulder gently, her voice was sincere and sincere, with the purest and most beautiful emotions and expectations.
"Okay." Chu Changting buried himself in Han Yao's shoulder and nodded vigorously.
It's been a long time, and it's been a long time since I've found such a shoulder for myself to lean on and cry. Chu Changting greedily absorbed the warmth from Han Miao's body, and tears slid down his face.
The lights flickered, and in the dim halo was a pair of figures hugging each other tightly.
After a long time, the two reluctantly separated. Han Miaoxi gently raised her hand to wipe away the tears on Chu Changting's face, and suddenly remembered something, and her voice returned to her former calmness: "That's right, Changting." Then why did Mei Makeup kill you? Hasn't she always been devoted to you? ”
"I don't know why at the moment. But everyone in the house knows that Su Jin and Mo Li have a bad relationship, and I can't ask about my identity rashly at this time. Now I just wait to get her back, and then think about it. Chu Changting said, a little sad.
"I saw that she came to the rescue in the quiet fast that day, and I always felt that she was not that kind of person. It's really unpredictable, and people's hearts are unpredictable. Seeing that Chu Changting was a little sad, Han Miaoxi knew that Mei Xiang's desire to kill her still made her sad after all, she sighed lightly and comforted, "You don't have to be too sad, things in this world are complicated and unpredictable. Some people do one thing in front of them and one thing behind their backs, and this kind of thing is always impossible to prevent. ”
"She is the person Shen Liangchen left by my side." Chu Changting half-hung his head, and his voice was low as if he was muttering, "I still have to be sad after all to do such a thing." ”
Han Miaoji knew that it was useless to say anything to comfort Chu Changting at this time, so she sat quietly with Chu Changting, quietly listening to her low sobbing.
I don't know how long it took, the noisy voices outside gradually converged in one direction, and I don't know who shouted "caught", and then the entire Su Mansion fell silent.
"It seems that Mei Makeup seems to have caught it." Han Miaoji opened her mouth lowly.
Chu Changting replied lightly, then wiped away the tears on his face, and pretended to be relaxed while getting up and walking towards the door: "Since this is the case, it is inconvenient for me to stay any longer." I've got to get back. ”
Han Miaoji also got up and sent Chu Changting to the door. Before leaving, Chu Changting looked back and said, "By the way, now I know that I am Chu Changting, except for you, there are only Su Miao and Su He." Don't say you're slipping out, e.g.... It was in front of the emperor. ”
"Don't worry. I've got my own measure. Han Miaoji nodded, pushed open the door and looked out, and after confirming that it was safe outside, she let Chu Changting go out.
After Chu Changting left, Han Yaoting let out a long sigh, she leaned against the door, and there were complicated emotions in Sleeping Feng's eyes.
