XXXIV. Nothing can be helped
I took three steps and made two steps, and gently and skillfully blocked the apple on the Qingming Bridge.
"Run, run, run? There's no way, now I can only jump into the ditch! ”
Apple's face was flushed, and he looked left and right, as if he understood that his running speed was really slower than ordinary people, so he gave up, put one hand in his waist and gasped: "Okay, okay, don't run anymore, I'm really tired." ”
I teased: "Run away when you see me, I'm still so strong as you, you will really turn into a big fish and swim away!" I'm afraid that the canal water is too shallow, and you will run aground again. ”
"Rabbit, you mouth! Sometimes it's really bad. The apple bulged into his cheeks and glared at me slightly.
I clapped my hands: "Don't interrupt, tell Lu Youming what he assigned you?" ”
Apple was full of resistance: "Don't say it." ”
I frowned: "You're obsessed!" I heard part of your conversation, and he was completely suppressing you. I am afraid that this plan will not work in your favor. ”
Apple said in a gloomy tone: "This is my business, you go and do your business." ”
I directly highlighted my upper body, stepped over and pinched her neck with both hands, and said coercively: "If you dare not say it, I will tell the concubine that you made her rumors in front of me and said disrespectful things." ”
I stepped up: "Say it or not!" Say it or not! Whether to be punished or confess to you to choose one! ”
I kind of got the soft side of this guy, if this can be regarded as bullying, then in this case, it has to be like this.
I turned her face from a red apple to a purple eggplant, and kept coughing, "Say, say ......"
I let go and gave her a push, and she staggered backwards and hit the railing of the bridge.
The railing shook with a shake. Her throat, which was gagging from lack of oxygen, kept swallowing motions, and she discussed with me, "Well, then I told you, you can't meddle in." ”
I continued to threaten: "Say it! ”
Then she hesitated and said: "Little rabbit, I'm afraid you don't know yet, I was transferred to the catering department before the Chinese New Year, and the meals of Ziyun Pavilion were delivered by me. ”
It dawned on me: "Moved your place too?" I said that the last time I went to Si Yan's dormitory to look for you, I saw that the door of your room was locked. ”
Apple nodded embarrassedly: "Yes, don't blame me for not telling you in time, you are now running back and forth between Qingluan Palace and Zhaoqing Hall every day, where am I close to those two places." ”
"Oh~", I pulled a long voice: "The Dongying parallel goods that Lu Youming mentioned just now are a strange ingredient, so I want you to mix it into Wu Zhaorong's diet?" ”
Apple looked panicked and shook his hands: "Don't, don't say that yet......"
Immediately, she explained to me again: "Don't think that this is poisoning, Gonggong Lu said, this substance is not very toxic, but it is similar to Shunzi soup." ”
I laughed and said, "Look, when did I say the word poison." ”
Apple is in a difficult situation, and while justifying itself, it is also distraught.
She shook my hand and said pitifully, "My good rabbit, no matter what, aren't we all puppets in someone else's hand?" Listening to the master's arrangement, it can be regarded as having a backer. What if you are abandoned by your master again? ”
I really want to ask her how she was transferred to the catering department and the plan from beginning to end, the ins and outs, analyze it for her, and then find a countermeasure.
But time waits for no one, her hazy tears are not stopped, she only glanced at the sky and sighed again: "Oh, it's wrong, I'm afraid the time for dinner will be missed, I have to go." ”
She wiped her face with her sleeve and trotted away.
I saw that her not light figure had not yet faded out of my sight, and I began to lose my breath from exhaustion. Suddenly sadness came from it, and many aspects of her life would be as hard as she could do with the most basic running, jumping, jumping, and jumping, but no one knew how difficult it was for her.
The concubine can be described as a wine putty, she needs to take wine for every meal, and from time to time she will have a drink in the afternoon and evening.
As soon as I returned to Qingluan Palace, he boasted to me that today the emperor actually rewarded a pot of rare monkey brew.
The so-called monkey brewing is that the monkeys in the mountains pick a hundred fruits and store them in a tree hole, which is the beginning of storing wintering food. But if there is plenty of food in the winter and fresh food is still available, the monkeys will forget about the stored "granary".
Then this cave of fruits is gradually fermented, and then a hole of fruit wine is made.
This kind of natural wild brew is really a coincidence, and it is hard to come by.
The concubine was very interested in introducing me to the preciousness of this wine, and when she finished dinner, she dragged me alone to drink with her.
Ben was also tired, and after eating some things, he felt even more sore, so he thought that it would be a good thing to drink a few bottles, but he could relieve his fatigue.
The concubine not only took care of herself today, but also toasted me again and again, and after four or five glasses, my cheeks began to burn with red clouds, which was really overwhelming.
But the more she drank, the more she drank, the more she drank, her whole face was ruddy and shiny, and there were slight beads of sweat.
I couldn't drink any more, and I started to shirk.
The first thing I did after the bad premonition this afternoon was to make an appointment with Yingya and a few other small chamberlains, and at the end of tonight, I would take the cat Xue Nu with me to the court pavilion to "walk around"
However, the concubine is unrelenting, and has all kinds of rhetoric. I had to bite the bullet and drink three more glasses.
When the threshold of drinking too much came, I had to play tricks, so I began to pretend to be drunk, learn to say a few innocuous "drunk words" with a slurred mouth, and then lay down on the wine table and pretended to sleep.
Now, if you shake me again, I can't afford it.
The concubine tried hard for a while, but when she saw that it was to no avail, she began to pour herself a drink. While humming a small tune softly, she drank the elixir until the end of the shake of the wine jug, and did not even waste the wine roots, and then got up, walked weakly, and swayed back to her dormitory.
I counted my steps, and I heard a thud, and the concubine fell to the ground, and fell asleep.
For seven of the ten days, I was the last drinking friend to accompany the concubine, and I was used to covering her with a quilt after she had her fill.
This time was no exception, and I got up and walked slowly to take a look at her.
At this time, the door of the dormitory suddenly opened, and when I saw it, it was the emperor!
It's the man with big eyebrows and big eyes, and peach blossoms sprinkled everywhere. He only walked in one step, and I felt that the dormitory was full of animal hormones, the subtle and riotous kind.
He was a little surprised when he saw that the awake person was actually me: "Yo, the widow only knows how much the concubine has to drink, and a dark horse has been poured out today." ”
I saluted him uncomfortably and said, "The emperor is joking, the amount of alcohol that the minister drinks is less than half of that of the concubine." ”
However, his expression changed from relaxed to serious, and he cleared his throat and said: "In the end, you are serving the Lord, making the concubine drink too much every day, and if you do too much, you will hurt your body, but you don't persuade each other." ”
I didn't have time to retire before I wanted to slip away and leave early, so I had to continue to deal with it: "Yes, what the emperor said is very true, and the minister will definitely persuade him next time." ”
I didn't look up, but I could feel his triumphant breath through the air. I only listened to his words with pride, and said in a brisk tone: "Then tonight's omission will also be punished!" ”
He took two steps around me and said, "What should you be punished?" ”
Oh my God, that tone is playful, it's a merciless teasing.
"Well, I will punish you five steps away from the bed tent to keep vigil for the widow and the concubine."
???
God knows if you two are sleeping together, and you need someone else to keep vigil so closely? Even if I'm not ashamed, do you decide not to be ashamed?
I secretly gritted my teeth, calculated from my heart, and with my dancing skills, I split five forks backwards!
In the afterglow, I saw that the scumbag's eyeballs were about to fall, and his chin was basically open to the limit, and he was about to dislocate......
Now these five steps away, I have retreated to the door of the dormitory.
I restrained the success of the counterattack, and the pleasure that was about to burst out, and said respectfully: "The emperor's golden mouth and jade words said that it was five steps, but the minister forgot to ask how big the five steps were. I don't know if these five steps still count? ”
The emperor nodded in amazement, if he refutes me at this moment, he will also lose his face.
I could only say with a sigh and annoyance: "Okay, good! You're amazing! Okay, you are at the door, and if I don't see anyone in the middle of the night, you are the only one who asks. ”
After putting out the summary and cruel words, it finally stopped! On the side, several Gong E and Mama, who were about to suffocate their lungs and were about to emphysema, endured the convulsions on their faces, waited for the emperor to wash and change clothes, and soon he hugged the concubine and fell asleep under the covers.
I leaned against the closed door of the dormitory and looked at the few night candles in the dark curtain, faint and dim.
The endless night beckoned to me again.
I secretly glanced at my watch, it was the end of the hour, tonight's plan, about my last remedy, about the trap that Li Chengyun might encounter, is there nothing to be done?
I want to tell the emperor that he will preside over it so that he can back up Li Chengyun's plan.
However, apart from my bad premonition, I didn't have any evidence to point out what the danger of approaching Li Chengyun was! Is it just the red jade begonia hairpin I picked up? How convincing!
What's even more terrifying is that if I succeed in avoiding Li Chengyun from entering danger, if my premonition and analysis are wrong, and I disturb the emperor in vain, wouldn't it also be regarded as a kind of deception? If so, I am afraid that the burden of guilt will be too great for me to bear.
After thinking about it, thinking about it, there is no way to have it both ways for a while.
I can't let myself get into the quagmire, and I don't want to watch things that could have been reversed and let them go!
I stood there like a thorn in my back, cramped and uneasy. The heart is like a charcoal fire, the fire is urgent, and the anxiety is unbearable.
It wasn't until I heard the bell of the bell tower not far away that the blood in my body cooled down in an instant. Like boiling water meets a glacier, frozen jade freezes.
For better or worse, it's already open, and it's too late for anything.
