Chapter 76: The moon is dark and the wind is high
Chun Tao thought for a while and said: "It should be true from the perspective of the slave maid, I feel that time is running out, you see that she is out of breath when she speaks, and there is no trace of blood on her face, and she is pale and scary." ”
Xia He also echoed: "Well, I must still be trying to eat that ginseng powder, haha!" ”
Jiang Li stroked her slightly bulging lower abdomen, her heart was full of contradictions, and it was inconvenient to say anything.
When they were far away, a figure jumped out behind the holly tree, turned around and flashed into the Incense Pavilion.
In the Xiang Pavilion, Xiangming and Xiangling brought hot water to wash away the terrifying white of Xi Fei's face, only to see the pink and white porcelain-like skin on Xi Fei's face, as white and red as a peach blossom.
"Madame, you are so beautiful! The makeup just now is really scary, and you play it very well, like a patient who has just recovered from a serious illness. ”|
Xiangming couldn't help but bring a mirror to take a picture of Xi Fei's before and after.
"She seems to be really good for me, and she is afraid of affecting me, so she actually moved out, is it too much for us to do this?"
Xi Fei looked at herself in the mirror, which was really in great contrast with the previous morbidity, and she was a little reluctant to think of Jiang Li's departure.
"Madam, you still believe that she is a good person, but your subordinates have heard it very true, that person is a femme fatale, and it is not worth your sincere treatment of her."
Xi Fei turned around when she heard the voice, and at some point, Ouyang Jing had already walked in.
"Oh? What General Ouyang meant, did he understand again? After Xi Fei finished speaking, she suddenly realized that Ouyang Jing was a little overwhelmed when she saw her normal face, and subconsciously stroked her smooth face, revealing an embarrassed look, and squeaked, "I...... I ......"
And Ouyang Jing was in a hurry to come in just now to tell what he had heard, he forgot the courtesy of the monarch and the minister for a while, and came in directly without asking for instructions, after seeing Xi Fei's radiant face, he immediately understood what was going on, no wonder she was silent, it turned out that she had already had a countermeasure, and secretly praised Xi Fei for being smart in her heart, seeing her appearance, she must have felt embarrassed to hide her illness from herself, so she hurriedly said:
"Madame doesn't have to worry too much, I agree with Madame's approach, if you want to protect your loved ones, you must protect yourself first." He paused and said: "Please forgive Madame for the rudeness of my subordinates, just now my subordinates saw them coming towards the Incense Pavilion, so they hid in the middle of the road, and heard with their own ears the words of the three of their masters and servants after seeing Madame, all of them revealed joy, she wished you ......."
Ouyang Jing hid him behind the holly tree, and described the conversation between Jiang Li's master and servant that he heard with his own ears.
When Xiangling heard this, she said with a solemn expression: "Madam, look, this makeup is really worth it?" A dog can't change to eat, and a person with such a vicious heart, do you still expect her to suddenly get better? ”
Once regarded Jiang Li as the only relative in the palace of the queen of Chu, it turned out that everything was fake, Xi Fei's heart was so painful, looking at the whistling north wind outside the window wantonly destroying the hot spring peach blossoms, the petals fell like snowflakes, and muttered: "Qingqiu has no intention of competing with you for favor, why do you have to want to kill me like this?" ”
After Jiang Li returned from the Incense Pavilion, he left the Peach Blossom Dock and returned to the Manna Palace.
After dinner, Jiang Li arranged for Xia He to clean up the daily necessities, leaving only Chun Tao by her side.
"Chun Tao, go out for a walk with this palace! I feel a little stuffy in my stomach. ”
"Okay, the slave will accompany the mother."
At present, it is almost sunset, and Chun Tao understands that it is the time mentioned on the cloth yesterday, so he picked up a cloak and put it on Jiang Li, and helped Jiang Li to come to the back garden to pretend to take a walk.
When night falls, the moonlight is hazy, the breeze is light, the shadows of the trees are waving, the autumn insects are murmuring, and occasionally a few birdsongs are heard, which adds a bit of mystery to this quiet night.
When walking to the rockery, there was a night bird's cry, Jiang Li gave the spring peach beside him a look, the smart spring peach used the rockery as a cover, stood at the only passage leading to the rockery, and did not continue to move forward.
Jiang Li took a few steps forward, learning the night bird to call, and at this moment, a big hand suddenly stretched out from behind the rockery to cover Jiang Li's mouth and dragged her to the back of the rockery.
A bass voice who deliberately lowered the volume and changed his voice sounded in Jiang Li's ears: "Why did you bring a tail with you?" ”
Jiang Li closed her eyes and opened them again, only to vaguely see a masked black-clothed man hiding in the dark, if you don't identify it carefully, it is almost the same color as the rockery.
"If you have nothing to do, keep a carrier pigeon as a companion."
"The point is, is this pigeon credible?"
"I can't trust what I raised since I was a child, what else can I believe?"
"You must be extra cautious in your actions, and before you get things done, don't leak the slightest rumor, you have to speed up the progress, the Lord is already very dissatisfied with you."
The tone of the man in black was not very good, Jiang Li was also angry when she heard it, and changed her good temper in the past, sinking her face into the dark, and her tone was full of rejection.
"You tell the Lord, Jiang Li, I have changed my mind, and I don't want to hug my future child with blood-stained hands."
"You ......"
The man in black was anxious when he heard this, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he immediately realized that it was not an occasion to get angry, so he quickly stopped, sighed and spoke again, his tone sounded a little angry, but the volume was very well controlled.
"Don't you think it's too late to say that? When you first stepped on this boat, you had no choice, you opened the bow and there was no turning back, have you forgotten who the enemy who killed your parents was? Okay, even if you are magnanimous and can let go of the revenge of your parents' tragic death, can you still watch the Jiang Song family who carefully raised you be wiped out because of you again? Will your conscience be at peace then? I won't talk to you about the truth, I haven't heard this today, and it won't reach the ears of the Lord, so you are so good that you are not allowed to mention it again in the future. ”
The old scars in Jiang Li's heart were uncovered again, the blurred and tragic death of her parents appeared in front of her, uncontrollable tears burst out of her eyes, and the suppressed whimper was particularly heart-wrenching in this hazy night.
Chun Tao, who was not far away, seemed to notice something unusual, and walked over lightly to this side, only to see Jiang Li's back, her shoulders were shrugging, and she hurriedly ran over and called softly: "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Go back to where you just now and keep it, it's none of your business here!" The man in black didn't raise his head and whispered to Chun Tao, and pressed his hands heavily on Jiang Li's shoulders.
Jiang Li stopped sobbing, waved her hand behind her, and whispered to Chun Tao: "You go over and wait, I'm fine!" ”
By the faint moonlight, Jiang Li's beautiful face was full of tears, and the appearance of pear blossoms with rain was pitiful, which made the cold heart of the man in black suddenly throb inexplicably, and distress and pity arose...... An illusion flashed through his mind, but in an instant, that thought was fleeting and vanished, how could it be?
