Chapter 49 │ Desire
In the night, the moonlight is quietly filled, the heavy snow stops, Linghu Qingge and Zuo Changan sit under the corridor outside the house, looking at the dark blue night sky, dotted with starlight a little, not long, only listen to the distance "bang bang" a few loud sounds, the fireworks blooming in the night sky are like glass, and even like the wrong gold and silver depiction of the dragon and phoenix, very gorgeous and colorful, it is actually a prosperous and graceful scenery.
In the mirror moon hall, Linghu Qingxuan heard the voice, so he came out to take a look, standing in the courtyard, only to see that everything withers in winter, there is no willow shade cover, as soon as you get out of the courtyard, you can see the pair of people sitting under the corridor of Guihuan Hall opposite the wooden bridge, into the scene into a painting, relatively wordless but intimate and happy.
She only felt that it was too dazzling, all kinds of calm in the past dissipated like fireworks, she only felt that the rest was bitter, in this Lantern Festival, she could only watch her sweetheart and other women from afar, could it be that she really planned to live in this seemingly paradise for the rest of her life......
Look at this current posture, if you really wait until Zuo Changan returns from a trip with Linghu Qingge, I am afraid that the two of them will be even more honey and more intimate, and it will be even more difficult to start at that time, in case they come back from the trip and Linghu Qingge is pregnant with a child, how will she gain a foothold from now on? When you think about it, Bose's words don't make sense, if you can conceive a child, it is the most important thing......
However, if you have a child, you have to stay overnight with her, so Hu Qingxuan suddenly remembered the bottle of mandarin duck water that Ling Hu Qingxue left for herself before she got married......
It was a drug catalyzed by her and the king of the county in the bamboo forest, but if she used it again, she was afraid that she would die without a place to be buried, but without this method, what other way could Zuo Changan stay by her side?
Linghu Qingxuan was in trouble in his heart, and on the other side, Zuo Chang'an and Linghu Qingge came to the warehouse after watching the fireworks, and Yu Hu was guarding there, and only opened the door when he saw the two of them coming.
Next to the sundries, there was a dirty and depressed person, Ling Hu Qingge looked at Zhiyin, but found that it was indeed not a familiar person, so he asked: "What did you do in Xiangguo's mansion?" I've never seen you before. ”
Zhi Yin didn't raise her head and said coldly: "It's just a rough maid." ”
Linghu Qingge listened to it and said, "So far, do you have anything to say to me?" ”
Zhiyin's hand silently clenched the corner of her clothes, struggled for a moment, and raised her head and said, "If I say it, can you leave me a way to live?" ”
"Yes," Zuo Chang'an, who had never spoken on the side, suddenly spoke, "If you tell the truth one by one, this king will naturally leave you a way to live at his discretion." ”
After hearing this, Zhiyin hesitated for a moment, and her heart seemed to be surging with great waves, before she slowly spoke: "I have been in Xiangguo Mansion for seven years, and I don't plan to say many things, after all, in the past few years, the third lady has been good to me, that year, I was sold to Xiangguo Mansion by my father, at that time, the family had no money to buy rice, and many people starved to death in the village, and my father sold me in, and my life could go on, but later, my parents gave birth to a son, and I thought that my younger brother could support their second elder, but who knew that later my younger brother was involved in gambling money, lost all the family, and the people are gone......"
"So my father came to ask me for silver again, at that time it was just in time for the lack of people in the third lady's courtyard, I wanted to go, but there were too many people who wanted to go, and I didn't make it, but the third lady saw that I was smart and smart, but I also paid attention, and then although I couldn't enter the hospital, but the third lady would often find me to do things, but gave me a lot of silver......"
Linghu Qingge listened to it and interjected: "Is it the matter of Taoyuan Pavilion Ferry?" ”
Zhiyin nodded, and said: "The third miss is jealous that the eldest lady married into the county king's mansion, and heard that the lord wants to marry her to an unknown son, and the third miss gave me a large sum of silver, telling me that if the eldest lady separates him from the county king, he will give me benefits, I am really short of money, so I agreed." ”
Zuo Changan felt that something was wrong when he heard this, so he looked at her and asked, "Yu Hu said that you know some kung fu, where did you learn it?" ”
Zhiyin was a little stunned, and was in a trance for a moment before saying, "It's the slave herself...... Since he was a child, he saw the young master in the prime minister's mansion, he practiced martial arts in the courtyard every day, walked and passed, and watched it for many years, as long as he was careful, he could naturally learn some tricks, but they were all false tricks, and there was nothing practical, and then the third lady saw it, and my thoughts about the young master ...... He promised me that if the matter between the king of the county and the second lady was done, and the limelight passed, he would take me back to the Xiangguo Mansion and say that he would be a concubine for the young master, I was also confused at the time, so I agreed, but I didn't expect that after leaving the Xiangguo Mansion, I hid in the City God Temple as agreed, but someone came to kill me the next day, and I could only escape to the beggars. ”
Linghu Qingge asked: "Then do you know, did Linghu Qingxue send someone to kill you?" ”
Zhiyin shook her head and said, "It's not... Not only that, but the guard who chased and killed me recognized by the slave maid was the nurse in Aunt Xiao's courtyard......"
Aunt Xiao?
Linghu Qingge really looked at Zuo Chang'an unexpectedly, the two of them came out of the warehouse, they didn't say anything for a while, and returned to Guihuan Hall, Linghu Qingge said slowly: "You said, Aunt Xiao knows about this, and even shielded Linghu Qingxue and helped her cover up the killing, where did she get so bold......"
Zuo Changan pondered for a moment, and then said: "I'm afraid that what she wants is not only that her daughter is safe and her hands are clean, and she is willing to help, on the one hand, she is her own daughter, on the other hand, I am afraid that she already knows the idea that Linghu Qingxue wants to enter the palace, so what can this idea bring to Aunt Xiao?" ”
After hearing this, Linghu Qingge said without thinking: "Powerful position." ”
Zuo Changan nodded and said: "What Aunt Xiao thinks, I'm afraid that after the matter is completed, she can use her daughter's status to help her as the main room." ”
When Linghu Qingge heard this, he immediately became alert and said, "Where is she worthy!" Raising such a daughter was originally her disciplinary, and Linghu Qingxue was still so scheming, calculating her sister-in-law and her own sister, Aunt Xiao helped her to abuse, how could she be worthy of the position of the main room, for my mother's position! ”
Seeing that Linghu Qingge was angry, Zuo Changan hurriedly said: "Don't worry, even if your father wants to correct her, this king will never let her succeed, such a ruthless woman, why do you have to worry about this matter for your mother." ”
After Linghu Qingge heard this, he slowly put his mind at ease and asked again, "What should Zhiyin do?" ”
"I promised her to stay alive, I will let Yu Hu send her out of the city and home safely tomorrow, no matter how long Aunt Xiao's hand is, it will not reach her hometown."
After listening to Zuo Chang'an, Linghu Qingge was a little puzzled: "Zhiyin is also a witness, you don't plan to stay?" ”
Zuo Changan shook his head and said: "Although she is a witness, but she has been detained in the county king's mansion for many days, even if she understands it in the future, others have to suspect that it is the county king's mansion that coerces and lures, and now that your father has made it clear that he wants to suppress this matter, this king can only turn a blind eye, as for Aunt Xiao, whether it is because of this matter or not, she is already a person of bad conduct, so why worry that there is no reason to prevent her from ascending to the throne in the future." ”
Linghu Qingge heard that it made sense, so he didn't say anything more, and after washing, Zuo Changan said leisurely: "Today's Lantern Festival has passed, and in less than a month, when the spring snow melts, we can leave for the Western Regions......"
