Chapter 10: The Phantom of the Palace
The colorful silk of the trees was fluttering in the wind, and she seemed helpless, and she left the prison city and went straight to the Cangyun Pavilion. In the distance, the clouds and smoke are misty, and it seems that even the birdsong is pleasant.
"Cang, can we live in seclusion?" She excitedly ran to the man with the flower on his forehead, he stretched out his hand to hug her tightly, and endured it, "Shu'er, you may have to wait for me." ”
She broke free, "He clearly said that this time he will set us free. How can he talk doesn't count. ”
"Lord, Him...... Treat me well. ”
She laughed angrily, "He treats you well, but you have done so much for him, he saved you back then, but you didn't save him too, you should have cleared up a long time ago." How could he keep threatening with life-saving graces? ”
"Shu'er."
His voice became much heavier, if there was no him, how could we be today, when you were ordered to kiss, I was unwilling but could not do anything, so I chose to rob my relatives, but I was betrayed, and almost fell into Huangquan, it was he who saved me, so I left my life to continue to love you, so I can never give him up for the sake of my children's personal feelings, if I do, it is unkind.
She looked at him with a complicated expression, "You know, he is destined to go a path of no return." ”
"I know."
"When he takes back what he deserves, I promise you to go into hiding with you, and you will wait for me in this Cangyun Pavilion. It won't be long. ”
"Remember every word you say, and if I can't wait for you, I'll let him be buried with you."
"Shu'er, you can't fight him, be obedient, wait for me, there won't be that day."
She nodded, and suddenly remembered, "Is the matter of the temple arranged?" ”
"You can rest assured that everything is done, someone will pray for you, that person is eight points similar to you, if you don't look carefully, there will be no problem. Now that you are out of the palace, no one will pay attention to you anymore. ”
"That's good," she breathed a sigh of relief, "the air outside is so nice." ”
"Thank you Shu'er, there will be no more prisoners in the future. You will only have my love for the rest of your life. ”
She smiled sweetly, the wind blew, and her clothes fluttered like butterfly shadows.
The secluded palace is forbidden, the singing and dancing are endless, the sheng song and the man dance the silk and bamboo royal, and the sound of the spring is crying and dew. It is suspected that the palace is secluded, and it turns out that the east wind leads the way home. A scene of harmony. Leisurely playing the palace lamp, a pink-clothed palace maid walked lightly with the lamp, it was time to go to the master, the Roselle map she wanted had been prepared. I don't know what to trip, she let out a "yaw".
I lowered my head to get the mud on my feet, it had just rained, and my white embroidered shoes were stained. A few pieces of pear blossoms were scattered on the ground, and they were a little wilted by the rain. She picked up the lamp and got up, and the moment the light lit she cried out. "Ahh It was a disheveled woman, with no scars on her body, and her eyes were wide, as if she had been extremely frightened.
Xiao Yi dared to take a snort and gasped. The number of people gathered increased, and there were many people to test, but there was no other clue except for the thin purple mark on the neck. A palace maid said that it was Xiaocui, who returned to her hometown a few days ago, and somehow appeared here. Xiao Yi seemed to see a white shadow drifting by, and for a moment, she shook her head and told herself that she couldn't think about it.
The queen also received the news, and her face was a little bad, "Sisters, I am not feeling well in this palace today, so I will not accompany the sisters." Thank you for your understanding. ”
All the ladies and relatives stood up and saluted goodbye. The queen was helped back to the palace, "By the way, where did Nian Jin go?" This child sneaked into the palace, and I don't know where she is making trouble now, this palace is not peaceful, you remember to let people protect her. ”
Mama Su agreed, as if she hadn't seen this child for a while.
At night, the wind shakes the doors and windows, and this season seems to be a bit unusual. She listened to the sound of the door slamming and couldn't sleep for a long time, the people around her were already asleep, but the wind outside the door was the same as before. Inexplicably, it's a little gloomy. It's a bit annoying to shrink your body and curl up in a ball. It seems that someone is humming "It turns out that the purple and red are all over the place, and they are all paid to the ruins of the broken steps." ”
It's the Peony Pavilion, and it's forbidden in the palace. Who would dare to risk the world's condemnation, this palace is becoming more and more confusing.
In the morning, Mama Su broke in in a panic and saw Nanli hurriedly saluting, "Queen Mother, the little prince is dead." ”
"How so?" Pei Nanli raised his eyebrows, "Take me to see, the queen saw the pale face of the little prince." I was scared a lot. It's the same as the palace maid.,I don't know when.,It's rumored in the palace that it's a ghost who has come to take revenge.,It's the dead queen.。
Rumors have been spread for a long time, true and false, false and true, and no one can tell the difference. The catastrophe in the palace was far from the beginning, and some maids and eunuchs disappeared, and the bodies were found in unexpected places. Occasionally, the watchman would see a white shadow flashing by, and hear the babbling of the Peony Pavilion in the night sky, which was the favorite song of the former queen.
It seems that everyone is beginning to believe that the first queen has come to take revenge. The people in the palace are unstable, and the people inside want to come out and escape from that place of right and wrong. Fear took over the whole world, a deep sense of exhaustion. The Emperor also seemed a little tired, and could see his paleness. He invited Taoist priests to practice, Sanskrit voices, exorcise ghosts and eliminate disasters.
Light a furnace of incense, put all kinds of tribute fruits, pray for the peace of the country and the people, and the peace in the palace, "Queen Mother, I know that you are unwilling, it is Yu'er who is ignorant and rebellious and willful, which caused the current situation and caused you to die." Don't worry, I will definitely give you peace of mind, you can go with peace of mind. ”
Sprinkled three drops of yang water, chanted words in his mouth, tossed for half the night, and then rested again. It seems that in this way, the palace is much calmer.
The emperor personally presided over the funeral of the little prince, "I am ashamed that I failed to protect the emperor's brother, and I also asked the emperor to mourn." ”
His eyes were full of sorrow, and the prince on the side was already crying. When you lose your son when you are old, the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, which is the most painful tragedy in the world. He looked up and patted the old prince on the shoulder, and no one saw the color in his eyes. This game of chess is getting more and more interesting.
In Cangyun Pavilion, the man received a secret letter, "Haunted," which one is he playing? He squinted, looking at the unknown sun, and you were more and more surprised by me. My royal brother.
Look at which of us can have the last laugh, the scroll of peony pavilion in his hand, still with the fragrance of ink, and the middle page is stained with blood, he thought that the woman was still holding this scroll of silk before she died, and he couldn't help but shed tears. Her face still seemed to be in front of him, but he couldn't touch her again. Now, my dear royal brother, are you despicable enough to make a fuss with her?
I can't tell whether to cry or laugh, the memories that flash through our minds are bitter, and we can't go back after all. Mother, they have disturbed you, and I will make this country never rest.
