Chapter 61: Gou Jian

Seeing that she was so resolute, Yiguang had to swallow the words on his lips and said helplessly: "Then I'll leave first, and I'll come to see my sister another day." After a pause, she said again: "Rouge talks a lot, it is not appropriate to stay with my sister and wait, I have already notified the inner government, and I will take Rouge away later." ”

Zheng Dan was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Who allowed you to do this, Rouge is my person, and no one is allowed to take it away." ”

Yiguang said softly: "Sister, don't worry, the inner government will arrange a few more dexterous people to take care of it, and it will not affect my sister." ”

Zheng Dan blocked Yiguang's way, and anger surged between his eyebrows, "I said that you are not allowed to take away rouge, don't you understand?" ”

"Rouge is really not suitable to stay with my sister."

"I have my own sense of whether it is suitable or not, and I don't need you to help me decide." Facing Zheng Dan's words, Yiguang said softly but firmly: "This matter has been decided and must not be changed." ”

She has seen Rouge secretly entering and leaving the Liuli Pavilion more than once, and then thinking back to the thrill of the second day of junior high school, I am afraid that it will not be able to get rid of Rouge, otherwise why did Zheng Dan just go to the Guanwa Palace with his front foot, and Wu Rong came to pester her husband with her back foot? Such a person categorically cannot continue to stay by Zheng Dan's side.

A few days ago, she was busy making a bag for the Queen Mother and relieving her husband, and she didn't have time to deal with this matter until now.

In the end, Rouge was still taken away from the Mingfeng Palace; However, Yiguang never told Zheng Dan the truth, firstly, because he did not want her to bear the pain of being betrayed by the people around her, and secondly, he was afraid that she would question Rouge and startle the snake; I thought I'd wait for this to pass.

Yiguang thought that her sisterhood with Zheng Dan was deep and would not be affected by a rouge, but she didn't know that this love had already deteriorated in Zheng Dan's heart.

Everything is starting to get out of hand......

Chinese New Year's Eve is a day for families to reunite, and the royal palace is no exception, and the husband went to Baining Palace early in the morning to accompany the Queen Mother. He originally wanted Yiguang to go with him, but Yiguang thought that he was not from the palace, and the Queen Mother didn't like her, so she was afraid that she would be embarrassed to go, so she refused to go with her, and her husband knew her intentions and was not reluctant.

After lunch, while everyone was not paying attention, Yiguang quietly came to the northernmost side of the palace with a food box, which was a place for sinners to do hard labor every day, and Goujian, the king of Yue, was locked up here.

After stuffing the usual money to the court steward, Yiguang saw Gou Jian who was grinding, which was also the first time she saw Gou Jian after the Yue Kingdom was destroyed.

When she went to the palace with her father for a banquet a few years ago, she saw Gou Jian from afar, and Gou Jian was gentle and virtuous, generous and generous, which left a deep impression on her.

The person in front of him was disheveled, his expression was sluggish, and he couldn't connect with the handsome and handsome King Yue who was talking and laughing.

Yiguang held back the sourness on the tip of his nose, walked over and whispered, "King." ”

Gou Jian didn't seem to hear her words, just numbly pushed the grinding plate, at this moment he was not so much a person as a donkey.

"The King." Yiguang called again, this time Gou Jian finally reacted, he stopped and looked at Yiguang Muran, "You...... Who? ”

He didn't seem to speak for too long, and he couldn't even speak in full.

"The maiden's surname is Shi, and her father is the imperial doctor next to the king." Yiguang's words shook Gou Jian's body, and those dull and empty eyes gradually condensed a trace of brilliance, "You are Shi Gong's daughter?" ”

"Yes." Yiguang nodded vigorously, and seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he said quickly: "Since the king was exiled to the state of Wu, Mr. Fan and I have been secretly planning to rescue the king, don't worry, we will definitely rescue you." ”

Gou Jian listened silently, and after a while, he shook his head and expressed his meaning with unfamiliar words, "Don't, you, it's harmful." ”

Yiguang understood what he meant, "The king is afraid of affecting us?" ”

Gou Jian nodded, "I, habit, it doesn't matter." He stretched out his hand, which was covered with a thick cocoon, like a pair of yellow gloves.

"No matter what the price is, Mr. Fan and I will definitely send you back to Vietnam, for you, and for the people of Vietnam who died in that war." Speaking of this, Yiguang couldn't help but think of his tragic father, and couldn't help but cry.

Gou Jian saw her thoughts, and said with difficulty: "No, up." ”

Yiguang shook his head, "Mr. Fan told me that everything is my father's will, and it has nothing to do with the king, so you don't need to blame yourself." ”

"I don't kill...... Beren, but Beren because of ...... And die. After talking for a while, Gou Jian's speech gradually became smoother.

"The matter of saving you has already been a little bit more eyebrow-raising, but it will take a while, so I can only grieve the king first."

Gou Jian nodded, and led Yiguang to the place where he lived, it was a bunk, not even a bed, only straw all over the ground, compared with the high bed in the palace, it was really a world of difference.

"Sit." Gou Jian pointed to the corner of the wall with a slightly thicker straw than elsewhere.

Yiguang sat down and took out a bowl of steaming soup balls from the food box, and she said, "I heard my father say that the king likes to eat sesame-filled soup balls the most, and every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, he must let the imperial dining room make a bowl." I've learned to make some, and I don't know what the king tastes, so you can try it. ”

Gou Jian took it with trembling hands, scooped it several times before sending a soup ball into his mouth, and when his teeth touched the familiar sesame filling, tears suddenly flowed down, crossed his dirty face, and turned into two ink beads.

"For a long time...... I've never eaten such delicious soup balls. Gou Jian said as he scooped up the soup balls and stuffed them desperately into his mouth, and his cheeks were stuffed to the brim and continued until they all vomited out.

Yiguang didn't persuade, nor did he stop it, just watched silently, for more than a year, Gou Jian has been a slave in the Wu Kingdom, has suffered too many grievances, and urgently needs a place to vent.

I don't know how long it took, Gou Jian gradually calmed down, "Actually, you don't need to worry about me, I've already accepted my fate." ”

Yiguang said solemnly: "The king's life is in the Yue Kingdom, above the Nine Heavens, not here. ”

Gou Jian smiled bitterly: "Do you really think King Wu will let me go?" ”

"King Wu is not bad in nature, and he is not a person who loves to kill, otherwise he would not have kept suppressing Wu Zixu and prevented him from taking your life. If you give me a little more time, I will persuade him to let you go. ”

Gou Jian looked at Yiguang fixedly, not knowing what he was thinking, for a long time, he nodded and said, "This king believes in you." ”

"I see that the steward of the court is a greedy man, and I will find a way to give him more money, so that he will treat you well; It's just ......" Yiguang said embarrassedly: "In order not to arouse suspicion, I can't come here often, and I hope the king will forgive me." ”

Gou Jian nodded and said, "I understand, it's really hard for you." ”

Yiguang was about to speak, when out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a brown thing hanging from the beam, and said suspiciously, "What is this?" ”

"Snake gall, there is a snake swimming in from outside, fortunately I haven't fallen asleep, I picked up the stone and beat it to death, the snake meat was taken by the steward to eat, leaving only a bitter gall, I wanted to eat snake gall bladder, and I heard that the gall is poisonous, so I have been putting it aside."

"I see." Yiguang suddenly realized that she couldn't stay here for too long, and after comforting Gou Jian a few more words, she left the court.

After Yiguang left, Gou Jian walked to the snake gall hanging in the air, looked at it without saying a word, and after a while, he suddenly stretched out his tongue and licked it, and suddenly an indescribable bitterness spread from the tip of his tongue, covering every taste bud on his tongue.

This is indeed a snake gall, but it is not used to show his eyes as he told Yiguang, but to lick the bitterness on it every day, so as to remember the suffering suffered in the country of Wu.

He has never given up the idea of recovering the country, nor has he ever been willing to be a slave in the Wu Palace for the rest of his life, he wants to go back, return to the Yue Kingdom, and return the suffering he suffered today to the Wu Kingdom a hundred times!
