Chapter 263: The Secret of the Old Things
If it weren't for the fact that Li Mi accidentally saw that ring and couldn't identify Fang San'er's identity, who would have thought that Fang San'er, the enchantress who was captivating the city and country back then, would become such an old palace maid?
Thinking about it, Fang San'er didn't expect that someone would be able to guess her true identity through a ring.
She has been in this haunted mansion for many years, and she said that no one in the palace dared to come, even if outsiders came, they did not dare to contact these living dead, and besides, this is the forbidden place of the palace, who will come?
However, someone did come this time, and this person even accurately said her identity, Fang San'er was also panicked, the silent memory surged out like a volcanic eruption, the former corpse mountain and sea of fire, the former heads were everywhere, and it was so real, it reminded her of the grief of her life that had already been numb!
Although Fang San'er was terrified, Li Mi was very calm, he knew that his speculation was not wrong at all, this girl was Fang San'er back then!
After the death of King Chu Gong, it was Zhu Xianhuai and later Zhu Xianqi who acted as the agent of the sect, that is to say, it was either Zhu Xianhuai or Zhu Xianqi who hid Fang San'er here.
These two are key people who know the life history of Zhu Huakui, the king of Chuding, but they are also a little different in attitude, Zhu Xianhuai once used these secrets to threaten Zhu Huakui, control the royal power and clan affairs, and even looted the wealth of the Chu Palace.
And Zhu Xianqi is the object of Zhu Huakui's alliance, through the union of Zhu Xianqi, Zhu Xianhuai was brought down, although Zhu Xianqi finally handed over the power of Zongli, Zhu Huakui is inevitably suspected of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, but in any case, they are insiders, will this Fang San'er also be one of the insiders?
After all, Fang San'er back then was a beauty at the level of red face and trouble, and Li Mi didn't believe that Zhu Xianhuai and Zhu Xianqi only protected Fang San'er because they found it with their conscience.
Fang San'er who was hiding here was unknown at all, most people thought that she was the same as Song Qi'er, she had already died, and some people thought that she had left the country, who would have thought that she was still in the palace, such a person was not the best person to keep secrets!
If Zhu Xianhuai and Zhu Xianqi tell their descendants the secret of Zhu Huakui's life experience, they will definitely let Zhu Huakui take or torture them, where is it safer to put it on Fang San'er!
Zhu Huakui is a very vindictive person, don't look at him is very friendly and tolerant of martial arts scholars, in fact, he is a person who will repay him, he is greedy for royal power and wealth, and the secret of his life has always been a thorn in his heart, how can this King of Chuding not be uprooted!
Thinking of this, Li Mi said to everyone: "You all go out, what should you do, don't make noise here, don't leak half a sentence to me!" ”
The reason why they were allowed to leave was to appease Fang San'er's emotions, and secondly, Li Mi didn't want to cause a riot, so as not to let people discover Fang San'er's identity!
Li Mi never bullied others, and treated the people around him more gently and considerately, but this time he opened his mouth very harshly, and everyone knew the severity.
After all, when it came to the old case, if Fang San'er's identity was exposed, they were afraid that it would cause unnecessary trouble, and they also understood Li Mi's cautiousness.
After everyone went out, Li Mi said to Fang San'er: "Don't be afraid, I'm not from the palace, the affairs of the palace have nothing to do with me, you are also old, if you want to look good, you don't have money, what can I do with you?" ”
When Li Mi said this, he showed his posture, and said the unprofitable objective nature of Fang San'er, and Fang San'er really quieted down.
In fact, Li Mi had long thought that these people were all tongue-wrenched, and he thought that this kind of punishment was also to keep them secret.
But can't you write if you can't speak?
Whether it is Zhu Xianhuai or Zhu Xianqi, they are both shrewd and cunning old foxes, how could they not think of this?
So Li Mi felt that these people should be illiterate!
The eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty could read, and the Jingshi Imperial Palace even set up an inner study hall, and invited a gentleman to teach those eunuchs to read and write, and even taught them some rules of officialdom to improve their government affairs ability.
The Chu Wangfu family has a great business, and the eunuchs in it should also be literate, after all, these eunuchs are needed to handle some affairs, and as for the palace maids, most of them should be illiterate.
Since Zhu Xianhuai is so confident that he will leave the lives of these people, it means that the literate may have been eliminated by him a long time ago, and the rest should be illiterate.
But Fang San'er can get the favor of the old prince Zhu Xianrong, she is not vulgar and blind, she must be literate!
So Li Mi said to her: "I know you can't open your mouth, but there is a question I must ask you, as long as you answer well, I will leave immediately, and I will never come, do you understand?" ”
Fang San'er heard this, and also raised her head to look at Li Mi, although she was already old and decrepit, and her face also had a shallow scar, but those eyes seemed to be able to speak, Chu Chu was pitiful, as if her body was aging, but her soul was still enchanting and charming!
She obviously understood Li Mi's words, and immediately nodded, and Li Mi asked her, "Did Zhu Xianhuai save you?" ”
Hearing Zhu Xianhuai's three words, Fang San'er became a little excited again, her eyes were full of tears, and she shook her head suddenly, Li Mi could also see that her eyes were sad and angry, not grateful.
"Is it Zhu Xianji?" Li Mi then asked, and Fang San'er only nodded at this time.
Li Mi immediately understood, since Zhu Xianhuai was not the one who saved her, it was easy to speculate.
Zhu Xianhuai had ulterior motives and hid Fang San'er here, Zhu Xianhuai controlled the authority of the entire palace at that time, but he was afraid that his intentions were not pure, but later Zhu Xianhuai was beaten down, but Zhu Xianhua helped Fang San'er.
Li Mi can also feel her humiliation from Fang San'er's demeanor, but he is afraid that Zhu Xianhuai will imprison her here, and he will humiliate her a little, after all, Fang San'er's face at that time has not changed, and he is still a disaster for the country and the people.
The ancients were not as good as we imagined, for a stunning woman like Fang San'er, they didn't care how many men women had experienced, those famous women in history, which one of them hadn't been tossed and turned, such as Chen Yuanyuan and the like, even if other men were humiliated, wouldn't men also flock to them?
The richer the experience of a woman, the greater the attraction to men, whether it is a good experience or a bad experience, it will make women have a different taste, thus attracting men with impure intentions.
Therefore, it is conceivable how Fang San'er endured Zhu Xianhuai's humiliation.
Li Mi didn't want to dwell on this, after all, he wanted to reveal Fang San'er's scars, which was not a good thing.
Asked this, Fang San'er was also a little vigilant, and Li Mi didn't continue to ask, but said to Fang San'er: "Do you want to leave here?" ”
Hearing this, Fang San'er couldn't help but be stunned, nodded quickly, and then shook his head helplessly.
Although she didn't speak, her every move, every smile and smile seemed to be a lively elf, even if she didn't speak, she could accurately convey her thoughts, maybe this is the charm of this woman.
Li Mi can also understand that the reason why she nodded desperately is because she is really tired of this place, and she also yearns for the outside world, and then she shakes her head, because she has been isolated from the world for too long, and how to start a new life after going out?
She is already old, she has no women's capital, in addition to serving men and being ruined by men in this life, she has no skills, even if she can go out, how can she survive?
Her life experience is sympathetic, she is a victim of the patriarchal world, full of pathos, pitiful and angry, but helpless.
The reason why Li Mi raised this question was to help her complete what she wanted to do but couldn't or didn't dare to do in exchange for the secret left by Zhu Xianhuai or Zhu Xianzhen.
Li Mi thought that she was imprisoned here, and she must have thought of escaping from this place, after all, as long as she was a living person, who wanted to stay in such a ghost place?
However, what he didn't expect was that she was indeed confined here, but her heart was already dead, and there was no longer much point in leaving.
However, Li Mi did not give up, and then asked her, "Is there anything else you need me to do for you?" ”
When Fang San'er heard this, he couldn't help but raise his head and look at Li Mi with doubtful eyes.
Li Mi also knew that he had only met Fang San'er for the first time, and for Fang San'er, it was really impossible for Fang San'er to trust a stranger after being imprisoned for so many years.
Li Mi said to Fang San'er: "Fang San'er, don't you understand, after we came here, it was doomed to your end, once someone finds out your true identity, you will only have a dead end, the reason why I ask you this, I think you should know, whether you believe me or not, I am the only one who can help you do things." ”
Fang San'er showed an unbelievable look, but it quickly dimmed, and his lips moved for a long time, and he actually spoke!
"I know...... They're going to kill me......"
Li Mi was only briefly stunned, but quickly calmed down, there was no one like Fang San'er, how could Zhu Xianhuai be willing to cut off her tongue!
Besides, whether it is Zhu Xianhuai or Zhu Xianqi, if they leave a secret and hand it over to Fang San'er, they hope that one day, Fang San'er will be able to pass on the secret and will not cut off her tongue.
Li Mi was also preconceived, seeing that everyone else had their tongues cut, he thought that Fang San'er had also had his tongue cut, at this time Fang San'er spoke, he thought about it and understood.
And Fang San'er also knew that Li Mi did not intimidate him, the people in this ghost place were often bullied, and the people in the palace had long since stopped treating them as human beings.
If people find out that Li Mi and others have been here, someone will inevitably come to inquire, and then her identity will be exposed, and how can she continue to survive if her identity is exposed?
Her words also exposed her thoughts, in fact, she has always been vigilant, and she has always been afraid that someone will come to kill her.
If she didn't have a secret in her heart, why worry about someone else coming to kill her?
Thinking of this, she finally gritted her teeth, Xu had not spoken for too long, and her accent was also a little stiff, full of traces of time, and said to Li Mi.
"You keep me out, I will tell you everything I want to know, but you must rescue my son first, so that my mother and son can escape from Wuchang safely!"
"Your son?" Li Mi couldn't help but be surprised, but after thinking about it, he was relieved and asked her, "Is it Zhu Xianhuai?" ”
Fang San'er gritted his teeth, his eyes were full of hatred, but he still shook his head at Li Mi and said, "No, although Zhu Xianhuai has done the thing of a beast, the child is Zhu Xianhua's. ”
Her eyes were full of hatred, but her tone was very peaceful, the former humiliation, in her eyes at this time, has become so commonplace, as if she is used to being bullied, she has seen her innocence, as long as her heart is clean, how her body is abused, she is also licked by wild dogs.
When Li Miyan heard this, he was also overjoyed, and asked her, "Where is the child now?" ”
