If it is said that Concubine Xi was unwilling to steal the limelight of Jiang Guifei that day, and was willing to live in Yunyan Pavilion, it is better to say that she didn't want to be favored by King Chu Wen at all, and wanted to get as far away from him as possible.

But Jiang Li thought that this was just Xi Fei's cleverness, thinking that she was just a newcomer, and wanted to show favor to her, so she naturally had a good impression of her.

Jiang Li, who can successfully return to the Ganlu Palace, and is still a concubine, was still quite complacent and arrogant when she first returned to the Ganlu Palace, she dressed up carefully every day, wanting to win back King Chu Wen's favor as soon as possible, but as time went by, she did not find King Chu Wen's past infatuation with her.

At first, she thought that King Chu Wen was focused on Concubine Xi, so he would naturally alienate other concubines, so she began to hold a grudge against her and tried every means to deal with Concubine Xi.

But through eyeliner observation, a strange phenomenon was discovered, for some reason, Xi Fei didn't seem to be so favored, the king not only did not stay in Yunyan Pavilion every night, nor did he go to other concubines' residences, but they were all in Changle Palace, which is strange, could it be that the king suffered from something sick?

It's June, and the weather is starting to get a little hotter, and the summer morning is the last time people want to wake up.

In the early morning of that day, the sky was slightly bright, and under the southern wall of the Ganlu Temple, three cuckoo calls were heard.

Jiang Li was excited, and saw that the maid had not gotten up yet, but lightly got out of bed, pretended to walk, and came to the big mulberry tree under the south wall, and glanced around a few times as if nothing happened, and gently learned the cuckoo to call three times.

At this moment, there was a sudden movement of a brick on the wall, and then the brick was pushed away, and a small square hole appeared in the wall, revealing a masked man at the end of the square hole.

The man's face was tightly covered, only a pair of sharp eyes were cast from behind the square hole, and he said in a low voice without subduation: "The Lord orders you to speed up and complete the task!" ”

As soon as she heard that it was another task, Jiang Li's head was big.

"You told the lord, this is not what it used to be, there is a newcomer named Xi Concubine next to the King of Chu, who is very popular with the King of Chu, and now I can't even get close to the King of Chu, how can I complete the task quickly? If it doesn't work, let the master replace him, Jiang Li's ability is limited, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to complete. ”

Although the voice was soft, it could not hide the dissatisfaction in his tone.

"Can't you figure it out if you can't get close? Anyway, the Lord said that if you drag it out like this, it will only be detrimental to the Jiang family, think about your parents and siblings! ”

"You! ……”

Jiang Li was most annoyed to hear someone threatening her with the Jiang family, and her angry eyes glanced at the person, but the small square hole was filled in at the right time, and her resentful eyes were blocked and bounced back on the flat wall.

Jiang Li, who was emotional, couldn't calm down for a while, lowered her head and walked slowly along the bluestone road under her feet, her thoughts returned to fourteen years ago, which was Jiang Li's first memory of this world when she was only four years old.

That day, for some reason, my father, who had always been mild-tempered, seemed to be very irritable, looked sullen, and walked around the house anxiously, and my mother was also melancholy, and she didn't dare to open her mouth when she wanted to say something, and when she saw Jiang Li coming over, she quickly put a finger in front of her lips and shook it gently, Jiang Li looked at her parents' faces and walked away sensibly.

Jiang Li remembers that she has been very favored by her brother who is three years older than her since she was a child, her brother is a beautiful boy, his big round eyes seem to be able to speak, his head is very smart, he is very sensible, and he never lets his sister suffer a little bit of wrongdoing.

At that time, when the elder brother saw the slightly lonely eyes of his lovely sister when she came out of the parents' room, he proposed to play hide and seek with her, which was the favorite game of the brother and sister, and Jiang Li was very excited when she heard it.

However, it was her brother's suggestion that saved her, and it was the last time she saw her family.

Due to the dim light in the kitchen, and there are many pots and cabinets, it is more suitable for hiding and seeking, usually the brother and sister will go to the kitchen as soon as they talk about hide and seek, and then the two of them will quietly run towards the kitchen to avoid arguing with their father.

In fact, when little Jiang Li hid behind the rice tank, her brother had already found out, and she habitually hid here every time, and her brother could find it with his eyes closed, but in order to make his sister happy, his brother always pretended not to find where his sister was hiding, and the kind Jiang Li thought that his brother really couldn't find himself, and he wanted to come out several times, but his brother kept chattering, "Huh! Where did my sister hide? Why can't my brother find it? Then she kept looking for it near her, and Jiang Li thought it was funny, so she endured it and covered her mouth and snickered.

At this moment, the brother and sister suddenly heard a noise outside, and then heard many people rushing into their parents' room, there was the sound of knives and sticks intersecting, and the ping-pong was in a mess, and then they heard the father's screams, the mother's crying, only to hear the father shouting to the mother to leave, the mother said "no, no ......", the father's voice sounded very painful and weak, but he said very resolutely: "Hurry up and run with the child, leave me alone!" ”

At this time, the mother appeared in the sight of the two children, and the mother, who was running towards the children with tears on her face, just appeared at the door, but tripped on the threshold.

The two children were about to run towards their mother, when they suddenly heard someone chasing after their mother, the mother glanced sideways at her son, waved her hand vigorously, and her brother stopped Jiang Li, who was about to come out from behind the rice bowl.

At this time, Jiang Li was so frightened that she was about to open her mouth to cry, her brother quickly covered her mouth, signaled her not to cry with his eyes, and then quickly picked her up, put her into the millet jar that was only a little bigger than her body, and whispered in her ear: "Good sister is not afraid, cover your ears hard, no matter what sound you hear, don't come out, and when it's okay, my brother will carry you out." ”

Jiang Li's lovely big eyes were full of tears, but she tried her best not to cry, her eyes stared at her brother firmly, and nodded vigorously towards her brother, her brother looked at her sister lovingly, and pressed her hands down on Jiang Li's shoulders, Jiang Li squatted down sensibly and obediently, and her brother poured a basket of green vegetable leaves on her sister's head, just a full tank.

Although Jiang Li hidden in the rice jar couldn't see it, she heard it clearly, first heard her brother go to pull her mother, but her mother asked him to run quickly, it sounded like there were a lot of bad people, and she slashed at her mother several times in succession.

"Daddy...... Mother...... Mother......! ”

The elder brother burst into tears of sorrow and threw himself at his mother, who waved her hand at him again and again.

"Kun'er...... Don't be afraid...... Take care of ......."

Little Jiang Li probably knew that her mother had been killed, and she really wanted to climb out of the small rice jar and throw herself into the arms of her mother, who was close at hand.

So, she slowly straightened her hunched waist, and through the gap in the green leaves, she rubbed her blurred eyes vigorously, and saw her mother lying in a pool of blood.

There is nothing more heart-wrenching than the loss of her mother, Jiang Li's immature hands grabbed the edge of the cylinder, she was going to see her mother for the last time.

At this moment, she suddenly saw her brother, who was facing away from her, and knew her movements as if he had eyes behind his back, and swung one hand behind his back a few times.
