Chapter 24: The Rainstorm

It was already deep at night.

"Boom! - Knock, knock! ”

The sound of beating the guard came from the street, accompanied by the footsteps of the husband, and the cold wind blew through the silent long street.

Inside King Xie's mansion.

Under the bright light, the short sword was particularly conspicuous, and Xie Yi looked at it and did not move for a long time.

Ming Ba and Jiuqi waited outside for a long time, and they really saw each other for the first time, so they really didn't dare to enter the house.

It's not the first time he's seen her, in the old years, he was ordered to go to Beijing, sneaked into Yancheng, was discovered by the people of Tianji Pavilion, chased and killed all the way, and had to hide in the ship, threatening her.

Her face was full of panic.

A few days ago, he met her again on the merchant ship returning to Beijing, and he even carried her all the way, but he still did not recognize her.

Last night, he dragged her down the river and let her struggle in the water, even preparing to leave her to fend for herself when she was unconscious.

She is actually Gu Rong!

But the person in the memory, in the face of the master's round-up, can still retreat, when he held her life last night, he found that she had no internal strength in her body, and her body was extremely weak.

Xie Yi touched Qi Yuan, remembered Gu Rong's extremely pale face, remembered the wounds on her feet, and remembered her pitiful appearance......

"My name is Gu Rong, Gu who looks forward to life, and Rong who is a hibiscus in the distant mountains." The fourteen-year-old girl's eyes blinked like stars in the sky.

She looked at him with a smile on her face, Rao had experienced a lot of winds and waves on the battlefield, and at this moment in front of her, the sixteen-year-old was actually a little shy, "My name is Xieyi, and I live in Fengcheng." ”

The past......

The lights in the house were bright until the sky was white, and I was grateful that I didn't sleep all night.

No one dared to enter the house and persuade him. Everyone is far away, such an abnormal son of the world, it is really terrible!

When the sky is dark, the sky is dark and oppressive, which is a precursor to a storm, and then in an instant, the rain pours down.

Before Xie Junwan got up, he heard the thunder and the sound of rain outside the house, which dispelled the idea of going to the palace.

In the Listening Book Garden, Jiudong has returned.

The doctor changed Gu Rong's medicine, told her to pay attention, and withdrew.

"How?"

"My subordinates stayed in Dongyue for a long time, visited the major doctors, found a trace, and followed the trail to find the head of the Dongyue Palace and found the medicine."

Jiu Dong handed the things on the table, "This is the language of solving flowers, and there is a broken prescription, but the next few prescriptions have been destroyed, and the doctor no longer remembers the specific prescription." ”

Gu Rong played with the white bottle and destroyed it?

"Bring people in."

Chunfeng understood, and after a while, he escorted the woman up, uncovered her blindfold, and saw that the woman's originally delicate face was red and swollen at the moment, and she had obviously been beaten.

The door is closed.

The woman on the ground had her hands tied, and Chunfeng saw that she was puzzled, and whispered in her ear, "Miss Xiaocui beat her." ”

"It's you!" The woman stared at her viciously.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you so embarrassed?"

The woman almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, glaring at her angrily, "If you want to kill, kill!"

It's a backbone.

Gu Rong got up, paced to her, and said nonchalantly, "Kill you?" You're thinking about beauty. ”

Her hand was slightly cold, covering the woman's face, gently stroking, and said in a gentle tone, "I remember that I had a scar on this cheek, but I never thought that there was no scar left at all, Dongyue's healer does have some ability, isn't it?" Princess Yumu?"

When the woman heard her words, the more she thought about it, the more shocked she became, the more angry she became, she wanted to bite her to pieces, and said hardly, "Since you know my identity, you should know that if you kill me, it will definitely cause a vicious war between the two countries, and when the time comes, the people will not be able to make a living, and you will be a sinner in the Northern Yuan!"

"Sinners?" Gu Rong thought about it, it seemed to make some sense, she nodded and said, "There is some truth in what you said." She thought for a moment, and then said, "In that case, then I will not kill you, I will abolish your martial arts, cut your face, and then throw you into a brothel, tsk......t"

"You dare!"

Her unconvinced face finally angered Gu Rong.

She suddenly pinched her jaw hard, Yumu was in pain, still glaring at her angrily, Gu Rong couldn't suppress the anger in her heart, and said coldly, "Where did you get your confidence, I don't dare!" In Cannes, you poisoned me, caused me to understand the flower language, and used an unseemly scheme to destroy Cannes, causing the people of Cannes to be displaced, and causing my eldest brother to be wanted from now on!" Gu Rong shook his hand fiercely, and Yumu fell to the ground.

She returned to her seat, and when she looked at Yu Mu again, her eyes were cold, and she joked, "I won't kill you, it's more fun to live than to die, feng shui takes turns, I suffered such a big loss under you at the beginning, and now I want it back, it's not too much, and ......" She paused slightly, and suddenly laughed, "Even if I kill you by mistake for a while, who knows, do you say it." ”

Yu Mu panicked, "No! If you dare to do this, I will definitely let my father kill you!" Let me go! You let go of me! I'll kill you! ”

"Chunfeng, what I just said, remember?"

Spring breeze nodded.

Gu Rong waved her hand, and Yu Mu's mouth that was scolding was blocked and dragged out.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, staying in the house, it's quite boring, boring to paint for a long time, Gu Rong feels that something is wrong, Xiaocui, who usually likes to surround her the most, hasn't seen anyone for a long time, she asked, "What about Xiaocui?" ”

Qiu Yi was studying ink for her, "I just went to the side yard with Chunfeng." ”

"What is she doing with her?"

"The subordinates were also curious at first, so they went to take a look." Qiuyi put down the ink strip, cleaned up the table, and replied, "Didn't Miss say that she wanted to break the tendons of Dongyue Yumu's hands and feet?" Xiao Cui ...... She begged Chunfeng to let her do it. ”

Gu Rong was surprised.

In the courtyard, the woman's screams were sealed in this small room, mixed with pouring rain, and were drowned in the listening garden.

When Gu Rong found Xiao Cui, she was standing under the porch in a daze.

Gu Rong seemed to understand something, and sighed slightly.

At night, Xiao Cui came in to serve, and Gu Rong looked at her eyes that were swollen like peaches, but she couldn't see them.

She flipped through the heavy ledger, and Xiao Cui turned on the lamp, moved it to her, and waited aside.

"Forget it, rest, don't look at it today." Gu Rong put the account book down.

Xiao Cui looked at her, stopped talking, and silently gave her wide clothes.

Gu Rong couldn't bear to see her like this, sat on the bed, and said, "Do you have anything to say?"

She pursed her lips, her head hanging lower than ever.

"You're from Cannes."

Xiao Cui nodded, her voice was inaudible, "My family originally lived in Kangcheng, promised my mother-in-law's family, practiced three books and six ceremonies, and the dowry was carried to the house, but it was just ...... It's just that day I got married, and the sedan chair met someone from Dongyue Kingdom, and he died in the hands of that woman in order to save me, and there were very few of them, but they were in a hurry, and I heard someone call her a princess! I was able to survive, and when I fled back to Cannes, it was already in ruins, and I saw the woman again, and I can't forget the look in her eyes, and she ordered that no one should be left alive, and many people died in Cannes, and many old people and children who could not walk, and they were slaughtered like ants. ”

Those former neighbors, those who knew and those who didn't know, the blood stained the whole ground red.

"I had no choice but to go to my uncle who was doing business in Lichuan, but I was sold to a human trafficker by my uncle, and I was rescued by the lord on the way, and the lord didn't want to take me, so I secretly followed them that day......" Xiaocui raised her head, unconsciously burst into tears, "I saw Miss, I probably guessed that you have a very good relationship, after you left, I stalked and stalked, and on the grounds of being Miss Yahuan forever, I finally got their blessing in exchange for their protection, so as to survive in this troubled world." ”

Gu Rong didn't expect Xiao Cui's experience to be so bumpy, and when she heard her mention Lichuan, she asked, "Have you seen me in Lichuan City?" ”

"I saw it secretly, and I hid in the house that day."

Gu Rong nodded, thinking that she probably didn't pay attention. At that time, the eldest brother changed his name to join the army, won a great victory in an encirclement and suppression of bandits, saved the generals at that time, and after he was promoted, he won the first credit in suppressing the southern bandits, which attracted the attention of the imperial court.

Gu Rong waved her hand, and Xiao Cui retreated.

The rumbling thunderstorm made her unable to sleep, tossing and turning, and suddenly stood up.

She only realized at this moment that the close-fitting Qi Mandarin was gone.

She took a deep breath and lay back on the bed.

Gratitude.

The memory coincides with the winter snow of that year, the boy fell in the snow, his lips were white, that was regarded as the best year by her at first, she never thought that it was the saddest year in her life, and then every time it snowed, she remembered thanks, she who returned late, the blood of her family.

After all, they are destined to have no part.

Gu Rong closed her eyes and gradually fell asleep.
