Chapter 132: Wu Meiren commits suicide
Xiaohong wiped her tears while picking out the debris for her, she didn't feel pain at all, she only felt powerlessness and emptiness surrounding herself.
After everyone dispersed, she took out the porcelain vase given by Bai Ze and asked Xiaohong to use it for her, and after drinking some medicine, she felt even more tired, and she had no appetite to eat at noon, so she only leaned on the couch and closed her eyes to rest.
I wanted to forget, but I couldn't forget anything, how long did that emotion pass, but because of the gap that was inadvertently torn up, the embankment broke and defeated her in one fell swoop, Rong Jinhuan had no patience for her, and Rong Yuyun mistakenly regarded her as a straw of hope.
Go? She didn't know.
She only knew that when she said goodbye that day, there might be no possibility of seeing her again, but she was unwilling, and there was really no room for her to return if she was unwilling, and it was this unwillingness that made her have a thought. But right now, whether it is Rong Jinhuan's questioning or the princess's request, her heart has collapsed. Not only was she unable to answer Rong Jinhuan, but she didn't even dare to confirm whether Qingxuan had a heart for the princess, only then did she realize that she was so frightened in her heart, for fear of facing the answer that she clearly knew the ending.
can escape again, she clearly knows that she can't escape, and her obsession has turned into the residual fragrance of ink cherry blossoms and entangles with her, endlessly.
She didn't fall asleep, and she woke up after a while, stretched out her hand to wipe the fine sweat on her forehead, only to hear the noisy palace people, and hurriedly got up and asked, "What's the noise?" ”
Pushing the door in, it was a little palace maid, and she knelt down timidly: "Back to Niangniang, I heard that Wu Meiren is going to commit suicide......"
"Huh?!" Ruoyun sat up with a spirit, hurriedly put on her clothes and got off the bed.
When she came to the front hall, Xiaohong was puffing out her waist and letting the palace maids and eunuchs stay in Chaolu Palace. If it is spread out, people from your own palace go out to see the excitement, not to mention how embarrassing it is. However, a few old eunuchs seem to be accustomed to the drama of falling out of favor and committing suicide, so they just do things by themselves and don't raise their heads.
Ruoyun frowned. Holding on to the courtyard pillar, he hurriedly said, "Xiaohong, let's go and have a look." ”
"Huh? Oh, I can't help it. Xiaohong turned around and saw her standing in her clothes, and hurriedly came over to help her, "This Wu beauty is infected with a vicious disease, and she is not related to you." Life or death has nothing to do with you! You have leg problems and are not allowed to go anywhere. ”
"No, I'm going." Ruoyun said and pushed Xiaohong's hand away. straightened his clothes and said softly, "I want to see with my own eyes what the concubines in this palace will be." He said. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Xiaohong was taken aback. Looking at her smile, it was very weird, I didn't understand what she was thinking, but I obediently closed my mouth and dressed her.
When they arrived, Wu Meiren was making trouble in her palace, the onlookers were already standing on the third floor and the outer three floors, and the soft sedan chairs of the palace concubines were several around.
The matter was so big that even Rong Yuyun came, but she was already timid. Hide in the corner and look up at the rooftop.
Ruoyun saw Wu Meiren crying and screaming and sitting on the roof of the pavilion, her feet hanging in the air. He also had a knife around his neck.
When Wu Meiren saw people coming up, she cried and shouted: "I want to see the emperor!" I want to see the emperor! ”
If Yun sees it gloomy, this Wu Hengyu is in tears, not to mention, he has been sick recently, and he has left spots and marks on his face and neck, where is there a little bit of beauty.
Whoever tried to set up a ladder to get close to her, she cried and made trouble, threatening to kill herself with a knife or jump off anyone who came near her.
In this way, no one dares to act rashly.
"She still let the emperor come up like this, and the emperor won't like it when he sees it."
"Yes, yes, the emperor is afraid that he hates her even more when he sees it."
Hu Shu'er and Chu Rulan are by no means the ones who missed the show, at this time, they were still sitting on the sedan chair accompanied by the palace maid, smiling and ridiculing Wu Meiren, not forgetting to communicate.
Ruoyun watched from a distance, watching Wu Meiren sitting on the roof, sometimes crying and sometimes making trouble, her sideburns were scattered, the fat powder was not applied, her clothes were disheveled, and her face was full of tears.
She couldn't help but wonder, is every woman he loves like this once she falls out of favor?
"It didn't seem to end very well."
Ruoyun turned her head when she heard this, and unexpectedly found that Xu Cuiwei, who rarely showed up, stood next to her at some point, wrapped in an emerald coat, and looked at Wu Meiren on the roof together.
Ruoyun was strange, since the draft, in addition to Mo Zhaoyi, the emperor has most often recruited Hu Shuer and Chu Rulan. Xu Cuiwei lived in a simple house, and occasionally was invited to go to Concubine De's place to sit down and go back to her Caiwei Palace, and she also came to see the excitement, not only that, but she talked to her intentionally or unintentionally, and this was the second time.
"Xu Zhaorong, this palace is just watching the excitement." She smiled, not responding.
Xu Cuiwei covered her lips and chuckled, watching and not saying anything more.
Wu Meiren on the roof became more and more excited, and said that the emperor would jump off if he didn't come again.
Mo Zhaoyi was surrounded by palace people, and the first thing he said was to wave his sleeves; "Go and invite Concubine De!"
"The emperor drove to ——!" As soon as the words fell, a few eunuchs with lanterns opened the way, Rong Jinhuan strode over, and Concubine De followed him, as if she had just been with the emperor, and now she came together.
Rong Jinhuan looked up at Wu Meiren, her angular face suddenly darkened, and she frowned and shouted, "Are you crazy?!" Give me down! ”
Wu Meiren was dizzy from crying, looking at Minghuang's figure for a moment, then she put down the knife slightly and moved here, crying: "Your Majesty...... The Emperor ......"
Seeing that her knife was released, Rong Jinhuan made a look, and the guards on both sides immediately followed the ladder, grabbed Wu Meiren's arm on the left and right, Wu Meiren couldn't break free, screaming and struggling to be brought to the emperor to kneel.
"Wu Hengyu!" Rong Jinhuan paused word by word, glared at Wu Meiren, who was panting and sobbing, gritted her teeth and said, "Have you forgotten all the rules in the palace?" Those who go up to the roof and throw me! After saying that, he dropped his sleeve and turned his back.
Seeing this, Concubine De next to her immediately knelt down and said in fear: "Your Majesty, the concubine is guilty, she didn't manage the harb/palace well, and she lived up to the emperor's expectations, please punish the emperor." Rong Jinhuan didn't answer, and she knelt like this.
After a moment of silence, the stunned Wu Meiren suddenly howled, knelt down in front of Rong Jinhuan, grabbed his sleeve and cried silently: "Your Majesty...... Since the concubine got sick, Concubine De's sister did not allow the concubine to go out, and later even the palace people did not dare to approach the concubine, the concubine was as good as she was, but the imperial doctor insisted that the concubine was going to be infected, and the concubine was still not allowed to see the emperor...... Emperor...... The concubine's illness is not contagious, and the concubine hasn't seen you for a long time...... Your Majesty, don't you like concubines anymore...... The emperor used to like to watch the singing and dancing of his concubines the most...... Your Majesty, look at the concubines, you must still like the concubines, right? ”
Rong Jinhuan was indifferent, listening to her babbling and suddenly reaching out to pull off her sleeves, Wu Meiren fell backwards to the ground, her face was like ashes, and she only silently looked at the ground and wept.
The palace people around looked at all this silently, no one sympathized with or stood up, including the maids in Wu Meiren's palace, all looked at Wu Meiren as if they were looking at the plague god.
Ruoyun looked at Wu Meiren, and her heart became a little sad.
"Concubine De, get up." After a while, Rong Jinhuan sighed, but said to Concubine De.
Concubine De breathed a sigh of relief and got up, and hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, Wu Meiren wants to punish Yulu?" ”
Ruoyun couldn't help frowning, Concubine De has always been rigorous in her affairs, and deliberately said that the punishment was light, but she was definitely not pleading for her.
"Wu Hengyu." Rong Jinhuan stood up straight, glanced at Wu Meiren, and said, "Pampered and arrogant, breaking the palace rules, making disrespectful remarks, thinking that he was sick, he was demoted to a woman, and moved to Yong'an Palace." ”
Ruoyun clenched her hands tightly, not to mention that picking a girl is the lowest grade of a concubine, Yong'an Palace is ...... Cold palace.
Wu Meiren's pupils contracted instantly, and then her whole body trembled, and she exclaimed: "Your Majesty, I don't want to go to the cold palace, don't go to the cold palace......!" Emperor! Emperor!! She cried, and stood up like crazy trying to escape, and came straight to the steps where Ruoyun and Xu Cuiwei were standing.
Ruoyun's face turned pale, and Xu Cuiwei quickly pulled her away.
She staggered two steps to dodge, and Wu Meicai reached the steps beside her, where she was already restrained by the guards and eunuchs who had come up.
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, I don't want to go to the cold palace...... The emperor ......" Wu Meiren was dragged away, shouting loudly all the way.
But Rong Jinhuan turned a deaf ear, glanced at Ruoyun coldly, looked away, and said, "Go back to the palace, now there are trivial things in the palace, and Mo Zhaoyi found out that everyone was suspicious." With that, he left without looking back.
Concubine De breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly instructed the palace people to start taking care of Wu Meiren's mess.
After everyone dispersed, Ruoyun still stood in place, Xu Cuiwei Shi Ran saluted and returned.
Xiaohong saw that her face was not good, and said strangely: "Niangniang, why do you suddenly like to watch the excitement?" ”
"No......" Ruoyun's lips hooked a wry smile, "I'm here to see what happens to me." Xiaohong, who looked puzzled, said again, "No need to take a step, you can go with me." ”
"But your knees ......" Xiaohong wanted to protest, she had already walked away.
The indifferent and ruthless emperor, the high emperor, the concubine who was finally abandoned by the mountain alliance and the sea, everything in the palace was so cold, cold to people's hearts.
If Yun thought about walking slowly, the Taiji Hall would be able to see it, and Rong Yixuan's wedding must be grand and grand, so she deliberately avoided it. Do you not want to see it, or are you afraid to watch it? Afraid that everything after seeing prosperity will eventually come to naught, the surface is prosperous for a while and then decay, the end of the country's cheering up is the end, or is there a surging undercurrent hidden behind this thousand graces, brothers, friends and brothers?
She was frightened, grabbed her sleeve hard, and suddenly her face changed greatly:
The letter is gone!
"Xiaohong, I changed my dress today, but I didn't change this coat, but someone has moved?" She hurriedly asked Xiaohong, vaguely remembering that she had taken off her clothes, and when she woke up, she put it on lightly, and she should not have fallen off.
"What letter?" Xiaohong looked dazed and said, "This coat should have been touched by no one." ”
Ruoyun thought about it, she was afraid that she would lose it in a panic when Wu Meiren bumped into her, so she hurriedly asked Xiaohong to take the palace people to find it.
But whether it was the steps and trails in front of Wu Meiren Palace, or the nearby dark places, even on the way back and forth, I searched for it, and then I searched through Chaolu Palace, but the letter disappeared out of thin air without a trace. (To be continued......)
