Chapter 42: Martyrdom
"Back to the king, the slave maid saw that the lady finished writing last night and rested, it should be too sleepy to burn it, and Xiangming and Xiangling were also napping, so the slave maid put it in her sleeve and brought it to the king by covering the quilt for her wife."
The servant girl said, and she was a little complacent.
"What's your name, and who else is in your family?"
King Chu Wen's gaze never moved away from the heavy silk handkerchief stained with tears, and his heart also became heavy.
"Back to the king's words, slave Xue Qing, there are elderly mothers and younger brothers and sisters at home."
King Chu Wen didn't even look at her, and coldly instructed Gonggong Wei: "Wei Xian, write it down, take it down, and reward his family." ”
"Thank you for the king's reward, this is what a slave and maid should do."
Xue Qing couldn't hide the excitement on her face, and thought in her heart how to gain Xi Fei's trust in the future, and get as close to her side as possible, so that she would not be afraid of not being able to get first-hand information about her.
"No! The old slave will do it! Gonggong Wei bowed down and replied to King Chu Wen's words, turned to look at Xue Qing, and said with contempt: "Let's go!" ”
Poor Xue Qing, who was on the verge of death, was still dreaming after Gonggong Wei, and when she reacted, it was too late.
I saw that Grandpa Wei took her to an iron cage the size of a room, in which were locked up several vicious dogs that looked extremely fierce, and the barking of dogs was incessant, and she shrank back timidly, in fact, she should have heard it a long time ago, but she didn't notice it because she had a sweet dream all the way.
She didn't understand why the king had brought her here when he had said that he would reward her, so she looked frightened and looked back at Grandpa Wei suspiciously.
"Okay, since death is on the verge of death, you cheap slave still don't know what's wrong, then the old slave will let you die clearly. Who is Xi Fei? Is it the person that the king values extremely much, and it is your turn to make the times? How old are you? Who qualifies to spy on her? People like you are also a scourge in this world, so you might as well feed the dogs! ”
As soon as Father-in-law Wei's voice fell, he gave a look to the little official guarding the dog cage door, the little official opened the door a crack, and Father-in-law Wei raised his foot and kicked hard at Xue Qing's back, only to see Xue Qing stumble, fell a dog gnawing mud, lying in the dog cage and not getting up, the doorkeeper had quickly and firmly locked the iron cage door.
When Xue Qing saw this formation, his eyes were like copper bells, and he was so frightened that he forgot to cry, only to see that the group of hungry dogs specially trained for use in the battlefield saw the food, and swarmed, and there was a burst of bites, Xue Qing's body was suddenly full of holes, and the blood flowed like an infusion, and Gonggong Wei didn't dare to continue to look at it, and quickly left this gloomy place, only to hear the scream gradually lower until it was silent.
Gonggong Wei shook his head and sighed lightly: "I can't blame anyone, this is the lower intestine of a person with a cheap mouth and a bad heart, and it is better to be an honest person in the next life!" ”
A strong smell of blood quickly filled the air, and Gonggong Wei took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose, and left quickly.
To say that Gonggong Wei is really worthy of his identity as a palace, just by virtue of King Chu Wen's sentence of rewarding his family, he understands how to deal with this slave, which also shows that he has thoroughly understood the preferences and habits of King Chu Wen, since King Chu Wen brought back Xi Fei, although Xi Fei did not really accept him, and he seemed to suddenly lose interest in other concubines, and only wanted to please Xi Fei, at this time, someone came to do something unfavorable to Xi Fei, naturally it was self-defeating.
When King Chu Wen saw Gonggong Wei coming back, he said with a calm face: "Clean up the people around Concubine Xi, and drive away those who are evil-minded." ”
"Rest assured, the king, nothing like this will happen again."
"Wei Xian, you said that Concubine Xi is always thinking about that person, what should I do?"
"This ......" Gonggong Wei's mind turned rapidly, how can people answer such a question, if they don't answer it well, I'm afraid that they will have the same fate as Xue Qing's girl
Gonggong Wei's eyes rolled and he said with a smile: "The old slave thinks that the reason why Mrs. Xi is unforgettable for the old love is also because she is an affectionate person and has the character of being loyal to love, isn't the king attracted by her character?" With the king's personality charm, the courage to be a man, and the unremitting love for his wife, I believe that Mrs. will one day be moved by the king's true feelings. ”
"Well, well said! It's easy to be good to a person for a day or two, a year or two, and it's not easy to be good to her for a lifetime, and it's not easy to love her alone in this life and this life, and I will stick to it! Wei Xian, you can't supervise! ”
"The king has always been true to his word, and the old slave believes that the king will soon be able to win the heart of his wife."
And Xi Fei wants to see Ji Lin again, but it is not easy.
Although she was extremely reluctant to admit that she was the princess of King Wen of Chu, her identity was already known on the first day she came to the Chu Kingdom.
After many unsuccessful efforts, Xi Fei once again had the idea of suicide.
Rather than living in such a painful way, it is better to die for a hundred, Xi Concubine even wants to find a chance to escape with Ji Lin, but if she can't do it, she will be martyred together, not to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but to die on the same day of the same month and month of the same year, maybe she can be reincarnated together in the next life, and then continue the front edge.
After having this idea, Xi Fei wanted to take action quickly, but who will pass on this letter? Of course, it can only be done by people close to him, Xiangming or Xiangling.
Concubine Xi wrote a short letter to Ji Lin and asked Xiangming to send it quietly.
In the middle of the road, Ouyang Jing intercepted Xiangming.
Suddenly intercepted by the commander of the Praetorian Guard, Xiang Ming didn't know what was going on, although he felt that this Ouyang Jing had no ill will towards his wife, but his expression was still a little panicked.
"Lord Ouyang, what do you command?"
Ouyang Jing glanced around, lowered his voice and said, "Don't be nervous, let me ask you, do you want your wife to live happily and well?" Or did you live a life of exile and fugitive? ”
Xiangming looked at Ouyang Jing with a puzzled expression.
Why do you ask? Of course, Xiangming hopes that Mrs. will live happily and healthily! ”
"Well, I know that you are a good girl who is sensible, in that case, I won't go around in circles with you, you came out today to help your wife deliver a letter, right?"
Ouyang Jing's good-looking eyes seemed to be able to speak, which made people not refuse, and Xiang Ming seemed to be enchanted, staring at him intently with big watery eyes and nodding.
"Show me the letter." Ouyang Jing's voice was extremely gentle, as if he didn't feel convincing, and then said: "Please believe me, my life was saved by Madame, and naturally what I do will not harm Madame." ”
Xiang Ming was skeptical, but her hand reached into her sleeve and took out a pink silk handkerchief.
Ouyang Jing winked deeply at her and stretched out his hand.
Xiang Ming timidly handed over the handkerchief with the words written on it.
Ouyang Jing spread out the silk handkerchief that exuded a faint fragrance, and saw a delicate peach blossom jumping on the silk handkerchief as if it were real, looking at it, frowning.
