Chapter 36: Who Knows My Heart
Say goodbye to late autumn and midwinter
It's different from the past.
Once a few lonely lamps,
Drunk the wine room.
can remember the love of Ling Cheng in the past,
The two feelings are in the frost leaves.
The oath in the snow is still there,
Engrave affectionate in the red maple.
The entire Yunyan Pavilion is not big, but I haven't seen Xi Fei after looking for it.
Xiangming and Xiangling looked at each other solemnly, or Xiangling was more careful, remembering that before going to bed last night, Xifei said that she wanted to write, so she hurriedly came to Xifei's room again, only to see a silk handkerchief pressed under the paperweight on the table, and wrote:
"Follow the grave of the other, cut down its strips; If you don't see a gentleman, you are like starving.
Obey his grave and cut down his rules; When I see a gentleman, I will not abandon it. ”
This is obviously Xi Fei because she misses her husband, Xiangming and Xiangling looked at each other, looked at each other in a daze, and suddenly realized something, and the two exclaimed at the same time: "Not good!" ”
The anxious Xiangming opened the door and rushed out, but he didn't want to use too much force, so he collided with a person at the door, and both fell into the snow at the same time, and Xiangming was still pressed on the person.
Seeing that the person lying on her back in the snow was Xi Fei, Xiang Ming was surprised and delighted, holding Xi Fei's body and crying and laughing, but forgot to stand up.
"Xiangming, are you stupid? Hurry up, see you are reckless, Madame's face is red with you. ”
Xiangling said as she reached out and pulled up the fragrant tea, and rescued Xi Fei, who had been pressed twice in the early morning from under her.
"I'm sorry, ma'am! The slave damned, she bumped into Madame, and asked Madame to punish her! ”
Xiang Ming's eyes were red in a hurry, and she quickly knelt down on one knee in the snow.
In fact, at this time, Xi Fei didn't hear what Xiang Ming was saying at all, where was her face red, but was hit by Xiang Ming, remembering that this same picture had just been experienced once not long ago, but the difference was that at that time it was a heroic and strong man, and at this time it was a weak little woman.
Seeing Ouyang Jing in such an embarrassing posture just now was really shy, and when I thought of it at this time, Xi Fei's heart was like a rabbit jumping around, which made people unable to calm down.
Xiangming, who was kneeling on the ground, didn't hear Xi Fei let her get up for a long time, and when she saw that she looked lost and depressed, she was shocked, Madame shouldn't have fallen stupid! In normal times, the concubine is reluctant to punish two personal maids who are self-conscious.
"Ma'am, are you alright? Let the slave and maid see, is there any injury? ”
Xiangming was in a hurry, thinking that she had really knocked out something wrong with Xi Fei, and suddenly her eyes were hazy with tears, and she was so anxious that she was confused, and she also woke up Xi Fei who was in deep thought.
"I'm fine, why are you crying?"
Only then did Xi Fei come back to her senses, brushing her cold fingers over Xiangming's tender cheeks and helping her wipe away her tears.
Xiangming suddenly burst into tears with excitement and laughed, hugged Xi Fei, and said incoherently: "Madam, Madam, you have spoken, are you really okay?" But the slave was frightened, did you feel any pain? ”
"Silly girl, such a thick snow, as weak as cotton wool, besides, your wife and I are also people who have practiced martial arts, and we are not made of tofu, where can we fall so easily! It's okay, it's okay! ”
Xi Fei pulled Xiangling with one hand, wrapped the two maids in the crook of her arm, and gently stroked their heads.
"Madame, didn't you rest last night? It's so cold, why did you go outside alone? How can it be good to freeze your body! You didn't speak for a long time just now, I really scared the slaves and maids, blame the slaves and maids for being ignorant, the lady doesn't rest, how can there be a reason for the slaves and maids to go to the corpse, I can't find you, the slaves and maids are not alive, woo woo! ”
After Xiangling was sure that the concubine was really fine, she released the anxiety and nervousness just now.
Xi Fei said softly: "Okay, okay! I'll let you both follow wherever I go in the future! ”
The two girls hugged Xi Fei, like a scattered little chick, and finally found the mother chicken.
As soon as Xiangling raised her head, her eyes fell on the footprints along the way, the footprints stretched to the dry well, and saw that there were Janissaries checking something there, and she was smart and immediately realized something, and couldn't help but feel nervous, encountering so many changes, how bitter Mrs. should be in her heart, and she really had to stay away from Mrs. in the future, so she nodded vigorously and said: "Where Madame will go in the future, where will Xiangming and I go, don't be left behind." ”
The actions of the two maids made Concubine Xi extremely moved, yes! In this unaccompanied foreign country, only the two of them will care about themselves like this, they are their closest people, even closer than real relatives, she thought of Cai Fei, the sister of her own mother's compatriot Fei Qingping, the reason why she fell into today's end, her sister Cai Fei has an unshirkable responsibility, and Xi Fei's heart is dripping blood at this time.
Xi Fei can also understand the feelings of the two of them not being able to find themselves, if they really have to be buried in a dry well, then these two poor people will not survive, didn't she hurt them? It is rare for the two of them to be so loyal to themselves, and inadvertently, Xi Fei has burst into tears.
"Silly girls, go in, they're all freezing." Xi Fei took advantage of the gap between the two maids to wipe their tears, and secretly glanced at the dry well, and saw Ouyang Jing walking around the dry well, and secretly admired his delicate mind in her heart.
After Xi Fei left the dry well and walked towards the gate, Ouyang Jing turned to look at the messy footprints on the side of the dry well, as well as the lying human figure, he deliberately walked around the dry well, pretending to inspect the dry well, and stepped on more footprints.
At this time, the sky was already bright, and it was good that the well was not watched, but this look really scared Ouyang Jing out of a cold sweat.
I saw that the well was bottomless, and I had palpitations when I thought about it, if I hadn't realized that something was wrong just now, or if I was half a step late, Mrs. Xi would have absolutely no chance of surviving if she fell.
No, this well has to be sealed, and it is necessary to prevent problems before they happen, although convincing Mrs. Xi today, it does not mean that she will not have extreme ideas in the future, and this dry well is also a hidden danger.
Ouyang Jing thought so, so he went to call the Praetorian Guards, found wood and stones, dug up a large amount of soil, filled the well, and saw a tree in the back mountain, although the leaves have fallen, but the tree pole is thick and strong, presumably in the spring of the next year, it should grow well, so he dug it and planted it on the dry well.
Xiangming thoughtfully boiled ginger soup with her own hands, put some brown sugar into it, took a sip, and suddenly felt warm and indescribably comfortable.
Through the hidden window, Xi Fei saw that Ouyang Jing was leading people to fill in the well and plant trees in the snow, remembering everything that had happened in the past few days, accompanied by the mist of ginger soup in the bowl, a cloud of mist rose in Xi Fei's eyes.
At this moment, I saw Gonggong Wei accompanying King Wen of Chu to appear at the door of Yunyan Pavilion.
King Chu Wen looked at the newly planted trees in the yard, and the large and small footprints from the dry well to the gate were really eye-catching, and he only asked Gonggong Wei beside him softly: "Wei Xian, if you remember correctly, this was originally a well, right?" ”
"Back to the king's words, this is indeed a well, but this well is strange to say, since ......" Wei Gonggong wanted to say that since Concubine Su threw herself into the well, this well has dried up inexplicably, but he felt that it was inappropriate, so he paused and changed his words: "It dried up a long time ago." ”
"Well, fill it out, fill it out!"
King Chu Wen stroked his beard and nodded in praise.
The gaze returned to the two strings of footprints again, and looking along the footprints, it should be a string of small and shallow clogs walking from the gate of Yunyan Pavilion, and then walking back and forth, the large and deep footprints only came, not returned, and King Chu Wen suddenly stopped thoughtfully.
"Wei Xian, you go and inquire, who first thought of filling this well, and why did you fill it."
"No, king, the old slave will help you into the house first, this snow is slippery." Gonggong Wei said that he came to support King Chu Wen.
King Chu Wen waved his hand, "No, you can ask at this time, you are not confused." ”
"No, the king is slow, the old slave will ask."
Gonggong Wei turned around and walked quickly towards Ouyang Jing and his party, who were still cultivating soil for the tree.
King Chu Wen stared expressionlessly at the deep and shallow footprints on the ground, one large and one small footprint did not move, like a child, stepping on the small and shallow footprints all the way, and slowly walked towards the steps of Yunyan Pavilion.
