Chapter 23: Patience and Sorrowful Choices 2

The chrysanthemum fragrance is curling, and the music is playing. Accompanied by a sonorous and passionate melody, the listener seemed to see the military flag hunting, heard the sound of trombone, and the spirit was lifted. The sword dancing maid is vigorous and agile, the sword has the wrath of thunder, the sword swing has the brilliance of ten thousand flowers, the fluttering is like a frightening Hong, graceful like a swimming dragon, several sword lights are connected vertically and horizontally, weaving a magnificent scene of autumn soldiers on the battlefield.

Yingxian was staggered again. Jingyangzhai is really a place where the dragon is hidden and the tiger is crouching, and even the little maid can dance the sword and make the sword. Just thinking about it, the maids had moved closer to the west fence with their dancing steps, and Yingxian could see their faces more clearly: they were all handsome and wise, scorching at people, and there was no air of fat powder. In admiration, I suddenly heard Yingxue say: "You are watching here, I will go and toast the two highnesses." With that, he took his wine glass and walked to the place between Situ Xi and Ji Ling's case.

She turned around, turned her back to Ji Linghuang, took the wine glass and said to Situ Xi with a smile: "Your Highness, Yingxue toasts you." Situ Xi was watching the sword dance performance with great interest, but when he saw Yingxue coming, he raised his glass and replied. However,

At this moment, one of the maidservants in the sword dance team happened to arrive at Situ Xi's desk. She jumped on the ground, and suddenly slapped her palm on Ying Xue's shoulder, and Ying Xue screamed and fell backwards, just falling on Ji Linghuang's body. Situ Xi exclaimed, "Sister Yingxue", and wanted to help, but the maid reached out and dragged Situ Xi over like lightning, and quickly grabbed Situ Hui who was sitting on the side. Performing light skills, several rabbits fell up, and the three of them had fallen into the Chufang Pavilion where no one was.

This change only happened in the blink of an eye, and everyone was shocked, and they rushed to the Pick-Fang Pavilion. The maid first clicked on Situ Xi and Situ Hui's acupoints, so that they couldn't move, and then put the long sword on Situ Xi's neck, and grabbed Situ Hui tightly with the other hand. "Don't come closer, or I'll kill them!" ”

Situ Yan stopped and shouted, "Stop it!" Discuss things slowly. He motioned for everyone to stop about two feet in front of the pavilion.

Ji Linghuang fell on top of him because of Yingxue, and failed to save Situ Xi as soon as possible. Seeing Yingxian running over, he pushed Yingxue onto Yingxian, ran to Situ Yan's side, and watched the scene closely.

Yingxue slapped the maid and spitted out a mouthful of blood, which shows that the injury is not light. Yingxian asked anxiously, "Sister, how are you?" Ying Xue's voice was as weak as a light silk: "I'm fine, what about Your Highness?" Yingxian had long been worried about Situ Xi's safety, so he helped Yingxue and walked quickly to the pavilion.

Over there, Yongrui and Yuan Qiaoyin have also arrived. Yuan Qiaoyin's pretty face had turned pale, full of panic and fear, tears filled with tears, and she begged: "Don't hurt Hui'er! Whatever you want, this palace will give you! ”

The maid named Lanyue sneered: "Give it to me? Hundreds of lives, can you afford it? ”

Situ Yan was stunned: "Lanyue, what are you talking about?" ”

Yongrui stared gloomily at Lanyue and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Lan Yue suddenly took out an object from his arms and threw it in the direction of Yongrui. Yongrui picked it up and saw that it was a brush with a broken tip, and his face changed drastically in an instant, and he asked in a muffled voice: "Are you from the Ye family?" ”

"I don't avenge others. I'm just for Mrs. Yu and Mr. Yu. Ye Wenhe, who aided the rebellion, his sister Mrs. Yu, is my stepmother. Mrs. Yu's son is my brother-in-law. It's just because Ye Wenhe rebelled and fell into the Nine Clans, so they were all implicated and destroyed. And they didn't reveal that there was such a righteous daughter as me. She was extremely excited when she said this, her cheeks burst out of a flush, she gasped again and again, and said: "I lost my parents since I was a child, and my wife took me as a maidservant, but in fact, she was a righteous daughter. The reason why I have lived to this day is to avenge them. ”

Situ Xi, who was pointed, suddenly said, "What a righteous maid." ”

Lanyue slapped Situ Xi with a "snap", and said angrily: "Don't talk too much." You're not qualified to comment on me. Situ Xi's snow-white cheeks suddenly had four red marks, so he had to turn his head sideways and stop talking.

Situ Yan's eyes were like ice in the moon, cold and calm, and said coldly: "So you first learned a martial art, then changed your name and surname, and found a way to enter the palace to become a palace maid, just to find an opportunity to take revenge?" ”

"Not bad. Princess, do you remember, you said that I was heroic, personally ordered me into Jingyangzhai, and gave me my current name. I've been waiting a long time for this opportunity. Originally, I planned to take Situ Lang's life directly, but then I thought about it, if I killed Situ Lang, I would be killed immediately. And Situ Lang died, and he was a hundred, but he was cheaper. Hehe, it's better to kill his two sons in front of him, so that he can also taste the pain of separation. Lan Yue said with a cruel smile. The long sword in her hand glowed with a cold glow, reflecting her face as vicious and terrifying as a ghost. Two hateful gazes seemed to penetrate the hearts of everyone present.

Yuan Qiaoyin trembled and screamed uncontrollably, Yongrui grabbed her hand and said to Lanyue: "If you kill them, you won't survive." ”

"For the sake of my stepmother and brother, I ...... I admit it. Lanyue gritted her teeth. There was murderous aura in his eyes again, and the sword hit Situ Xi's neck hard, and Situ Xi frowned.

A wisp of blood slowly oozes from the blade. Dripping down, dripping on the white placket of the moon, like a poignant plum blossom blooming under the moon.

Ying Xian suddenly felt a heart tugging, and wanted to rush into the pavilion to save people in pain, but was pulled by Ying Xue. She turned pale and shook her head, "It's too dangerous, sister." ”

Ying Xian turned to look at Ying Xue, although she also looked worried and painful, but she was still much calmer and more composed than herself. He stopped his steps and looked at Situ Xi. found that Situ Xi was also looking at him, with indescribable regret and sorrow in his eyes.

*****

Life and death are only a thin line. The cool breeze blows quietly, and the fragrance of autumn chrysanthemum seems to be a little stronger, and wisps flow in the originally picturesque garden, as if preparing to spread a beautiful fragrance for death.

What became clearer was the sobbing voices of Yuan Qiaoyin and Situ Qin, which were a woman's tender submission to death.

Situ Xi looked at Yingxian, his eyes filled with indescribable regret and sorrow.

A red cloud moved suddenly-Situ Yan took a few steps forward, her eyebrows were frosty, and she said sharply: "Wait a minute, Lone has something to say." Lanyue seemed to be intimidated by Situ Yan's momentum, the sword light flashed rapidly, and she pointed at Situ Yan and shouted, "What do you want to say?" Stay back. ”

Situ Yan softened her tone and said: "Lanyue, do you know that Ye Wenhe has a self-respecting army and has always been ambitious, but later he found a puppet from somewhere to claim to be the royal descendant of Xiang Guo and want to support him to restore the country." This kind of act against the sky is an unforgivable sin, and the Nine Clans are also self-inflicted. Why would you pay for his family's life? ”

Yongrui also said: "As long as you let Xi'er and Hui'er go, I will forgive you for your innocence today." When you leave the palace, you will be free, and no one will take you. I will not break my word. ”

Lan Yue smiled sadly, like a remnant hook about to sink into the western sky: "I did this assassination today, and I didn't plan to get out alive." What do you keep saying Ye Wenhe is rebellious, and his crime should be punished. In my eyes, there are only Mrs. Yu and Mr. Yu, who are kind and indisputable, and treat me like relatives. They have been kind to me, and I will repay it. ”

"Then have you ever thought that protecting yourself and living in peace is the best reward for Mrs. Yu. If Mrs. Yu has a spirit in heaven, is she willing to die for her? Yingxue stepped forward and said, and couldn't help but glance at Situ Xi again.

Lan Yue raised her eyebrows and said, "If I live in the world, what is the difference between me and those cowards who use forgiveness as an excuse?" Mrs. Yu's family has always attached great importance to righteousness, and I have been taught by him since I was a child, although I am a woman, I also know what it means to do something and not to do something. My way to repay my kindness is to seek revenge from the surname Situ. ”

Ying Xian took a closer look at her - the willow eyebrows were in the sideburns, the phoenix eyes were slightly revealed, and her demeanor was quite similar to Situ Yan.

Situ Yan said: "Okay, you are filial piety and righteousness, and you have clear grievances, which is really admirable." So Lone asks you, since you entered Jingyang Zhai, how has Lone treated you? ”

Lanyue snorted and said, "The princess treats me well, but she can't compare with the nurturing grace of my stepmother and brother. ”

"Once you suddenly fell seriously ill and were about to die, who asked the royal doctor to treat you specifically, and it took three days and three nights to bring you back to life?"

Lan Yue's face twitched, but she didn't speak.

Situ Yan said again: "Another time you and Gu were boating on the clear lake, you accidentally fell into the lake, and you didn't know the nature of the water. Who jumped into the water and saved you? You said! ”

Lan Yue said: "It's you, princess." ”

"So, if it weren't for Lonely, you would have died a long time ago. Lonely saved your life, should you also repay Lonely? Otherwise, where is your righteousness? There was an awe-inspiring look in her questioning, and for a while, a trace of cowardice flashed in Lanyue's eyes.

Everyone stared at Lan Yue in unison, Lan Yue clenched her silver teeth, her eyebrows fluttered like ghost fire, as if she was experiencing a great psychological struggle, and finally, she took a deep breath and said, "Okay! Princess, if you treat me like a sister and save my life, then I will give you back your life now. After saying that, Situ Xi and Situ Hui yanked in front of him and said, "These two people, you can ask for one, and I will repay you for saving your life." ”

Situ Yan said angrily: "Lone has two younger brothers, how can he make a choice." Aren't you doing this to make it difficult for you? ”

Lan Yue threw out a sneer: "One life can only return one life." My stepmother and brother all died under the butcher's knife of the Situ family, and now they give Situ Lang a son, which is already cheap. After that, she looked at Yongrui and shouted, "Situ Lang, you can choose which one you want." ”

Yongrui said in a deep voice: "You have to stay with both of you, otherwise you will die an ugly death than you think." ”

"Hahahaha, why are you bargaining? You'd better make a decision before I change my mind, or don't regret it. The murderous aura in Lanyue's eyes was full again, and the long sword was pressed against Situ Hui's neck. Situ Hui's tears flowed, but he didn't dare to speak.

The audience was as silent as death. Everyone understands what Yongrui's choice means. It was a secret that no one knew after the prince's mysterious death.

Yuan Qiaoyin knelt down and cried: "Your Majesty, the concubine only has such a son. She did not cry, but sobbed with extreme restraint, her weak shoulders shaking like a lone leaf in a storm.

Yongrui was also trembling slightly. Everyone's heartstrings are tense to the extreme, but they don't know who they will break for.

At the last moment, Situ Xi sighed and said, "Father doesn't have to be embarrassed anymore. Life and death matter. Although Brother Hui is young, he is a material that can be made. Concubine Chen also had no other children. The son still has a sister, and the father will naturally take care of her when he thinks of his mother. He glanced at Yingxian again and said, "The imperial sister will go to the banquet today, which is a great luck in misfortune." Yingxian, you have always been smart, I hope you will accompany her and enlighten her more in the future, but I will go to Qinglan one step ahead of her. As for you and me, ......" He choked suddenly, but he couldn't help but say nothing, turned to Yongrui and said, "Father, take care." ”

"The sound of the river is still lingering, and the shadow of the moon is faint." A couplet flashed through his mind, and Yingxian seemed to have lost his soul, and he heard Yongrui's trembling voice in his ears: "Xi'er ......"

Seeing this, Yuan Qiaoyin immediately glanced at Situ Hui. Situ Hui burst into tears and said: "Father, after the prince's brother leaves, the emperor's brother is the eldest son." His life is more important than mine. Hui'er is willing to die for her royal brother. I only hope that my father can take care of my mother and take care of the dragon's body. Don't miss Hui'er in the future. Let's just think Hui'er has never been in this world. Bright tears were reflected on Yuxue's lovely face, and no matter who saw it, they couldn't bear it.

Lan Yue frowned and said, "Crying and crying, I'm annoyed." Situ Lang, who do you want? I counted three times, and if I didn't make a decision, I would kill them all with a single sword. ”

She began to count coldly: "Three." ”
