The fifth day after Li Kaikai's head fell to the ground was the last time I saw Li Kaikai in the palace.

She first said goodbye to the Queen Mother, and then came to the imperial study to bid farewell to the emperor.

I looked at her with a pang in my heart. And now, she only has an indifferent face. The change seems to be ten years away from the last time I saw her in the imperial study.

Scribbled a few words, talking about where to go in the future. Since then, he has followed the nurse and lived in a small house in the south of the city. and the Queen Mother has to take care of her, and you can receive 30 taels of silver every year as a living subsidy.

For the pampered eldest lady, a Chinese New Year's Eve is just a rarity, and it is just a full meal.

The emperor's face was a little embarrassed. It's just that in the end, it's a blood relative, and if there is any danger, you must send a letter back.

Kai Kaipi didn't smile, and at the end, he begged: "Can you let the little scholar girl send me out of the palace?" ”

The emperor took one look at me and gave permission.

The sun that begins to set west is orange.

Sprinkled on the girl's body should also be lively.

And Kai Kai seems to be just carrying the light on her body, and she can no longer penetrate her solidified heart.

She said to me very politely: "I heard that my father was going to kill you last year, so I specially accompanied you on my father's behalf today." He has gone west, and as a child, he wants only to take away some of his sinful karma for him. ”

Her eyelids drooped, and she looked at me timidly.

I walked slowly along the long street with her, silently counting each floor tile with my steps. A pigeon flew past in front of me, and its white feathers were gilded with a layer of bright color.

I also said softly: "The county lord relaxes. It's better to live in the moment now. Although I used to be very careful, but now that I have this result, I also feel uncomfortable. In the end, I still hope that there is no killing~"

She laughed: "They're always arguing. ”

"Oh, yes." She turned to look at me.

"A few days ago, I accidentally heard Grandpa and Auntie's conversation, mentioning your mortal family."

I raised my eyebrows, the tails of my eyebrows pressed down, full of doubt.

"Only then did I know that at that time, our Qianzhou Kingdom, the five founding patriarchs, and your mortal family."

I Sakuraguchi: "Huh? ”

Kai Kai nodded again: "That's right." These five families are in the order of eldest and youngest at the beginning, namely the Huang Li, the Bai family, the original right minister Meng family, the left phase Li family, and your Fan family. ”

Then she sneered: "Now, these five families are friends of life and death, and the stars are really scattered." It's all a matter of my grandfather's generation, and now the only one who has gone through the founding battle is the Zuo Xiang. ”

I asked, "What position does the Bai family currently hold in the court?" How I have never heard of it. ”

Kai Kai replied: "This is the only female among the five of their brothers, and she is also the second sister, whose name is Bai Xianzhao. ”

Then a story flowed out of Kaikai's mouth:

Thirty-five years ago, women were in turmoil.

Once five people conspired in the world, after victory, they kept the previous covenant, and the eldest brother ascended the throne and became a great treasure.

The second sister is a woman. Outside, the court listened to politics and participated in power deliberations. Inside, she is in charge of all harem affairs, and the power of the queen also falls into her hands.

Emperor Taizu reigned for three years and was riddled with illness. So the woman took this opportunity to take advantage of the situation. And he was in cahoots with the hussar general at that time, and for a while the military power was in hand, and the power was tilted towards the government and the opposition. Calling for the masses to form a party and plot to usurp the throne.

The process is ominous.

Xu was not helped by God, and the result was an inexplicable defeat. Then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascended the throne, and he is now the Emperor.

But the laws of this country have no laws and precedents for the three tribes of women.

The woman was also misbehaving, and was rumored to have illegitimate children with three or four different men. After some investigation, the execution of his descendants, the older one, has become a climate. As for the rest, it is not known.

Since then, there have been no more female appearances. The female Shangshu who is slightly touched with political affairs in front of the emperor has not been established for a long time.

Speaking of this, Li Kaikai looked at me and said, "Now you, a little scholar, are the closest female officials to the previous dynasty." It is difficult to determine why the saint let you hold such a sensitive position, whether it is a bad thing or a good thing. ”

I pouted, "It's just that I can see the folds, the servant." ”

She stared at my uniform: "Where's your green robe?" ”

I replied lightly: "I only wear it when I am waiting for the court." Usually in the study, wearing only the same red and white shirt and dress as the insider. The robe is too formal, and it was originally not called by Aunt Su to wear more. ”

Kai Kai smiled: "It's good that you have this awareness." ”

I asked, "Does the county lord know why our mortal family is in decline?" ”

Kai Kai sneered: "Just call me by my name." I don't like to listen to people's gossip, and I just passed by and listened to a few words about what my parents talked about. It seems that when the adult official was located in Shaoqing of Dali Temple, he was young and vigorous, and he did something wrong, and he did something wrong in front of the emperor. ”

I nodded silently.

The palace gate was in front of him, Li Kaikai sighed, took out a picture album from his baggage, handed it to me, and said: "Except for some of my old supplies, old books, and not a single piece of cloth that was copied from the palace is left." When I was kicked out this morning, I found this album in the stack. The story of the female appearance, I just took a few looks in the carriage. ”

She smiled: "Here, I took a brief look, and there are people from your mortal family." It should be my apology, and now it ...... I can't afford to send it to the side. ”

I hurriedly put the album in my arms and comforted her: "Kaikai's gift is very valuable, I like it very much." ”

She smiled at me, nodded, and waved goodbye to me.

I watched her back, this girl who lost all the light of the world in an instant, it is precisely because of her uninhibition that she can be strong.

I couldn't wait to open the album, and what I was painting happened to be the history of the first five years of the founding of the country.

On the extremely thick kraft paper, the paintings are fine and gorgeous, and the characters are vivid, as if they jumped up from the paper in the next second and walked towards me.

I saw the woman, with a strong demeanor, a noble temperament, and a thousand demeanors. It's as if everyone else has become a foil for the protagonist.

I searched and found the picture page of the five brothers in the same frame, and there was one with the biggest eyes and a lofty spirit, which should be my mortal family.

I watched with relish as I returned to Tsukichi-in.

I saw that my aunt had just come out of Aqiu's room and was going back to the upper room through the verandah, still playing with a folding fan in her hand.

I couldn't wait to share the mood, so I ran over excitedly: "Auntie, look, what a wonderful painting skill, help me find out, which is grandpa and daddy." ”

My aunt took the booklet and flipped through a few sheets. I was still waiting for her to have a joyful reaction, but I saw that her calm expression was furious, her eyes were round, her face was already blue and red, and her eyes were already on fire between her teeth......

I've never seen my aunt so angry.

I was amazed, and as soon as I gasped, I was slapped in the back of the head! No, it's not a slap, it's a folding fan handle!

When I landed, it went dark, and then Venus sparkled, and the sky swirled.

Cover the back of your head for the first time and squat down to find a stable position. But I was so dizzy, I sat on the ground, my arms around my head, I leaned forward and backwards in discomfort, my legs curled up, my front teeth tightly closed, I didn't know what to do.

At the same time, my aunt's angry rebuke erupted in my ears: "Evil obstacles! What do you mean? ”

Where did I say it, the back of my head seemed to crack! After a trace of fainting was reduced, the severe pain continued to resuscitate and continued to strike.

From the skull to the scalp, along with the meridians and blood vessels, the terrible pain spreads in all directions. Tears burst immediately, accompanied by the horror of all this unknown, so that I could only squeeze out a small cry.

Ah Qiu ran over and hugged me: "Auntie, it's not good to hit the head, if you want to fight, just hit somewhere else." ”

She went to pick up the picture album that her aunt had thrown on the ground, looked through it and said, "What is this?" How did you make your aunt angry like this. ”

But somehow, Ah Qiu skimmed it, and was also annoyed, and reprimanded me: "Now all the female officials, you know that your aunt is in the highest position. And presented it to my aunt with the things of the women who were in turmoil a few decades ago, but you also have the intention of usurping power and seizing the throne with the intention of shooting your aunt?! ”

I was still so dizzy that my eyes could only be half-opened, and Ah Qiu was aggressive, lifted me, and slapped me on the thigh a few times. While beating and scolding: "Such a big disrespect! ”

The whole family was going to beat me, and I was completely helpless.

I held the ground with one hand and took a step back into the distance, trying to call the winter break to save me.

My aunt pointed at me with a fan: "You say! Why? If you can't say it, I'll kill you today. ”

The railing of the verandah had several shadows, and from time to time it swirled and swayed, and my eyes welled up with tears, and everything I saw was blurry and white. Holding himself back, he found his aunt's shadow, and when he raised his head slightly, tears crossed his nose again, and he forced out a line of words: "I don't know anything, this is what Li Kaikai gave me." She said...... Say, there are mortal families on this. ”

At this point, there is no boundless grievance, and I can't see anything clearly.

My aunt regretted it.

She quickly squatted down and hugged me into her arms, gently stroked the back of my head, and coaxed softly: "It's my aunt who misunderstood." It's good, it hurts, right? Ahem, why are you so good at poking people's hearts. ”

Then he grabbed me by the armpits, picked me up, and took me into the house. Wet the handkerchief a few times and wipe my face and hands back and forth.

I was terrified, my heart was still sad, and I was trembling slightly.

I heard Ah Qiu exclaim in a low voice: "Ah, it's swollen up and a big bag!" ”

I heard it, and I was even more saddened.

My aunt immediately spread my hair, lay down on the table, and lit the lamp to check.

That place, as long as you touch it gently, it will hurt with your brain. When it hurts, I tremble, I can't scream, and even the sound waves of my speech make me dizzy.

The female doctor came over and prescribed some soothing decoction and some anti-inflammatory ointment. only said, although there was no bleeding from the broken skin, but the bulging bag, the size of half an egg, was a little amazing. And because the injury is in the back of the head, it still needs to be observed, and it is not advisable to carry out blood circulation and stasis removal therapy too early.

From the sound of my aunt's conversation with the female doctor, I could hear her hidden fear and helplessness.

But I didn't care about anything else, my temples were hot, and my stomach was churning, and I spit out the tea I had just drunk with a whoosh.

The female doctor listened to the pulse and said, "The little scholar girl is just too dizzy, but the pulse is fine." ”

……

This night, though I was silent. But the treatment is like that of a three-year-old child, fed, coaxed to sleep, and exempted from daily calligraphy homework. Lying on my aunt's bed, being massaged on my temples soothed me, and smelling mint woke me up.

There were two palace maids keeping vigil around the bed, for fear that I would have a brain disease in the middle of the night, and I wouldn't even have a chance to rescue me.

The self-excessible punishment and meticulous compensation and comfort have become the latest label of my aunt in my heart. She becomes real in front of "me", a character she thinks she can control—extreme and authoritarian.

The tranquility and kindness of the first impression were just because they were not familiar at that time?

So, is it "biological", all like this?

I comforted myself.
