Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Coming Year Comes in Pairs

The white-clothed monks hugged their fists and replied yes, but Jing Ke unexpectedly did not resist, but his face was full of determination.

In Jing Ke's life, life will be better than death.

The lives of the people in the Dingguo General's Mansion, he will collect them in a few days.

He finally avenged the frontier soldiers and his parents who died in vain.

But he should have been happy, but his heart was still overwhelmed by something heavy, and he couldn't tell what it felt.

......

It had been the fifth day since Ning Fold left last time, and the Dingguo General's Mansion was lifeless at this time, and everyone was dull and dumbfounded, like an emotionless machine.

Shilihua Street in Chang'an City, the lights are bright, but the Dingguo General's Mansion is like a storm and a storm.

Now it is the fifth day, and since Ning Zhe is a trustworthy man, since he said that he will come in ten days, it will be ten days later. There will be no less in one day, and no more in one day.

It is precisely because of these ten days that there is still some room for maneuver in the eyes of the old lady.

She is gambling, betting that the Queen Mother will remember that the Central Plains Jing family is one of the four great families, and she will miss the old feelings, and she will not seek to avenge their grievances, but also leave her daughter Jing Li in the palace.

As long as this person enters the palace and gets close to the queen mother, many things can be solved.

So four days ago, the Dingguo General's Mansion sent eight sedan chairs to send the beautifully dressed concubine Jingli and a young maidservant to the gate of the palace with a swagger, but they were ridiculed and questioned by the people along the way.

But before he entered the palace, he was "driven" back by Gonggong Xue with a number of little eunuchs.

The reason in the palace is very simple, and there is no room for anything, only saying: "The queen mother is unwell and has no guests behind closed doors; The emperor retired in his early years and has not yet returned. If there is something to do in the Dingguo General's Mansion, please come back in a while. ”

In this way, the old lady also gave up the idea of relying on the royal family.

Nowadays, the Gu clan in the northwest, the Chu clan in the northeast, and the Jia clan in the south of the Yangtze River do not show their attitudes, and it can even be seen that they are more inclined to the palace.

The enemies of the family on weekdays also went to the court to impeach Jing Dusk, and turned over many old accounts, which caused a burst of criticism from the court officials.

Even those high-ranking officials and nobles who are in the same camp on weekdays, who serve the General's Mansion as their reborn parents, and rely on the General's Mansion to go up step by step, have also made their positions clear, and they are eager to immediately clear their relationship with the General's Mansion.

The most terrible thing is that a large piece of the dust shelter flowers planted in the mansion were stolen by someone at some point, and if this matter is leaked, the general's mansion will no longer have the possibility of turning over and correcting its name.

Jing Du lost his soul and never woke up, Jing Ke was also taken away by Ning Zhe, and there were only a few female dependents left in the house who were powerless.

Seeing the people wandering around, absent-minded, and full of despair, the old lady finally made up her mind: "Let's escape." ”

"Old lady, don't do it!" A servant girl hurriedly trotted over, not caring about her identity, "We ran away, but we confirmed the charges of rumors in the city." ”

"The crime? We are sitting upright in the general's house, what crime do you think we have? Jingli said angrily.

The maid hurriedly knelt on the ground, her head bowed to the ground, her face was white, and she hesitated and didn't dare to say anything.

"Get up, but it's okay." The old lady rubbed her head, and her voice was much older.

The maidservant raised her head in fear, but her eyes didn't dare to look directly at anyone, and she whispered: "The matter of the dust avoidance flower is indeed leaked, and it is rumored in the market that we were planning to rebel in the early years, and the spies sent out heard that even the palace side has heard about this matter. ”

As soon as the words fell, the old lady snorted coldly, the white porcelain teacup in her hand was pinched and crushed, and with a heavy hand, the broken porcelain slag wrapped in the surging murderous aura suddenly rose, and the cold cold flashed away in the sun.

In an instant, the servant girl covered her head and fell, blood-red blood splattered onto the white jade pillar, her pupils suddenly dilated violently, and her mouth was wide open, but she didn't even breathe.

The rest of the handmaidens hurriedly stood in place with their heads bowed, all trembling, and even a few couldn't even hold the broom in their hands.

The old lady's eyes were full of hatred, and every word was like crying blood, and slowly scraped out of her hoarse throat: "Everyone, pack up your things, go to the master's attic to get your deed of sale, and go to the fourth lady's Yarou Pavilion tomorrow morning, where a secret passage has been built to the outside of the city, and the old man will arrange for someone to pick you up, so let's disperse." ”

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they were all grateful, kneeling on the ground and slamming their heads, and they all dispersed in a short time.

Jing Li approached the old lady, covered his sleeves and whispered: "Mother, so many people escaped together, will it..."

"Li'er rest assured, that dark passage has not yet been completed, and it is still a dead end, when the time comes, when they go in, it will be burned." The old lady sneered.

"But they..."Jingli is young after all, although he is arrogant and arrogant and shouting and scolding, but where can he bear to kill them.

The old lady sighed, and just said: "At the moment of life and death, only by doing this can we be foolproof." ”

That's all there is to it.

Jing Li kept retreating with red eyes and covering her head, her mind flashed over the thin little maids, her immature and fair cheeks were flushed by the sea of fire, they cried and screamed, as if they were screaming something anxiously, but she couldn't hear clearly, she couldn't hear clearly......

"Li'er! At this time, Wei Niang has no ability to protect them, if they don't die, it is us who die, it is us! The old lady pulled Jingli past her and roared hysterically at her.

Jingli covered his ears and couldn't help shaking his head. The old lady's ravine-covered face gradually became clearer, and the sharp words jumped out one after another, hitting her eardrums heavily.

She kept shaking her head and retreating again and again, until she could no longer retreat, then she slid down the white jade pillar and curled up.

But as soon as she raised her head, she saw that there were still a few traces of blood flowing on the white jade pillar.

"I'm sorry ......"

Jingli Huo Ran knelt down and wiped the blood on the wall fiercely, and suddenly she felt something important in her chest shattered, and huge tears burst out of her round eyes.

The old lady looked at her daughter's back, slowly raised her hand, but before touching the end of her hair, she retracted.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...."Jing Li was out of breath crying, his mouth was half open, and his eyes didn't blink.

In the end, as if half a life had passed, she slowly raised her hand, and tears fell again, but she said: "A-Niang, then so be it." ”

The scorching peach blossoms in the General's Mansion bloomed on the top of the branches, and the petals fell sprinkled with a warm breeze. But on such a bright day, there was a woman who hugged her head and cried, but all the innocence and beauty were missed by her from today, and they were cut in two.
