No.276 Beheading

After getting along for a long time, I found that he was really a ruthless person.

One day, I asked him, "My lord, why did you take me home?" ā€

He wasn't like that kind person.

He looked ahead, his eyes were calm, and he said, "Who knows." ā€

"Maybe it's a sudden kindness." He said lightly.

"Thank you, sir." I chuckled and said.

Thank you, for your sudden kindness, for saving me. Later, I heard from his subordinates that he originally had a younger sister who was frail and sickly and died of illness at a very young age, perhaps because of this.

But he added later: "Maybe it's a sudden kindness, after all, adults are not the kind of people who will casually save people because of this." ā€

Adults sometimes take me out of the house to do errands, and he noticed that I was afraid of coming into contact with people, so I was told to relax and not stay in the house all day.

I was afraid that people would recognize me and suggested that I dress up as a man. He only said yes and never asked more. Once, when I went out of the house with him, I stopped at a stall selling groceries, and the things were very delicate, but the peddler was a little more skillful, and asked me, "Are you two brothers?" ā€

Before I could reply, the boss said, "Look at this knot, this is the same heart between brothers...... Ah no, the 'knot knot', it is said that wearing this 'knot' ensures that the two are in harmony and there is no contradiction. ā€

"No, I—" I was a little afraid of Lady Surprise.

Before I could finish speaking, he then sighed and said: "Alas, in this world, how many brothers have turned against each other for the sake of power and killed each other, this 'knot knot' can not only turn enemies into friends, but also turn friends into good, don't you have a pair?" ā€

I smiled helplessly, suddenly a little playful heart rose, and I became bolder, turned my head, and said softly with a respectful smile: "Brother? ā€

........................................................................................................................................................................

The adult bent his lips and said to me, "Since you are a brother, you can buy a pair." ā€

"Okay brother." I smiled at him, my eyes crooked. On the way back, I followed the adults and walked briskly.

Towards evening, the glow was slightly deep, the breeze was blowing on my sleeves, and I suddenly felt relaxed, alive, and not so tired.

Otherwise, I am always afraid of the endless torment when I dream back in the middle of the night. Adults often go back to the house late at night, and they don't often stay in the house on weekdays, so they are always busy.

Sometimes I couldn't sleep, and I would sit on the steps and count the stars waiting for him.

Wait for him to return.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, I thought he wouldn't come back, but he came back anyway, and I was very happy to ask him how he came back.

He touched my head and said, "Originally, I didn't have the habit of celebrating holidays, but when I thought of a little girl at home, I felt like a brother." ā€

I looked at him and said, "Thank you, brother." Thank you for giving me a home. I hope that in spring, summer, autumn and winter, I will live quietly like this.

Or, as long as the adults are around, I'm satisfied.

But even this is the only thing you want, God will take it away.

........................................................................................................................................................................

Not long after, Lu Li ascended the throne, he has always had great ambitions, and the first thing he did when he sat on the throne was to slowly shroud the power in his own hands.

On the charge of "seeking power and usurping the throne", he copied the Mo Mansion. At night, the house is brightly lit, and there is no escape.

"Your Excellency......" I held my hand and refused to let go. He smiled softly, even when he was in a desperate situation, he was still calm, he stroked my head, and said, "I have never broken my word in my life, but now I am going to leave you." ā€

I cried, shook my head and said, "My lord......"

"It won't be long before Your Majesty will know that you are in my mansion, he has been looking for you for many years, he will take care of you, don't be afraid......"

"Don't, I don't want ......"

He held my shoulders, wiped my tears, and said quietly: "Sui Sui, since ancient times, it is nothing, so Sui Sui, don't suffer because of me, live well, okay?" ā€

Eventually, the adults left me and beheaded me. It was Lu Li who killed the adults and killed my brother.

After Lu Li knew where I was, he sent someone to take me into the palace. When I entered the empty and glorious palace of nourishing the heart, I saw Lu Li embroidered with dragon patterns and dressed in bright yellow clothes, he saw me, his eyes were red, he quickly came over and hugged me, and said, "Mingming, you are still alive, I have finally found you." ā€

I stiffened and let him hold me. I stiffened and let him hold me. Seeing that I didn't speak, he gradually let go of me and said, "Mingming, you are resentful, resentful of Lord Shangshu." ā€

He was a little flustered, a person like him was rarely so anxious, and said quickly: "Back then, both I and your father thought that since that person was related to you by blood, he would not hurt you, but we didn't expect him to be so ruthless. He caressed my shoulder, looked at me with deep eyes, and said word by word: "I'm sorry, Mingming, it's my fault, from now on, I will protect you and won't let you be hurt again." ā€

It was warm in the hall, but I felt cold, and I felt an irrepressible fear in my heart, which made me want to escape. How could I not know the reason for what he said.

Like, how could my father not know what kind of danger I would be on the edge of that cliff.

Father knows, and Lu Li also knows.

They just chose to let me take the danger that might happen.

But...... It doesn't matter anymore, who was right and wrong at the beginning, it doesn't matter now.

He named me a concubine, and he sent me in fine clothes and jewelry every day, and he came to accompany me every day. But I never said a word.

"Mingming, the imperial doctor said that your body is weak and you must drink medicine." Lu Li picked up the medicine bowl and said to me in a warm voice. I turned a blind eye and just looked at the "knot in my hand".

"You've been watching it for a long time." He sighed lightly, a little weak, and said, "Mingming, I know you hate me, but don't hurt your body." ā€

I don't speak.

He said, "Mingming, as long as you drink this medicine, you can agree to whatever you want, okay?" ā€

When I heard this, my body paused, tilted my head, and asked, "Whatever?" ā€

When he saw my reaction, he smiled: "Yes." ā€

I looked at him and said, "Then you can bring Master Mo back to life, okay?" ā€

He was stunned for a moment, quite incredulous: "You are because of him, so you don't want to talk to me?" ā€

He persuaded me: "Mingming, he deserves to die, as a courtier, he harbors evil intentions and tries to control the government in vain, he deserves to die." I turned my head and said no more.

"Mingming, change your requirements, I will definitely meet you."

I ignored him. Seeing that I didn't react for a long time, he took away the "knot knot" in my hand, and said bitterly to me: "Mingming, he is a traitor, a wicked person, no matter how you are-" I suddenly threw the medicine bowl on the ground, and with a "bang" sound, it fell apart, and the fragments and soup splashed.

"He's not!" I stood up, looked at him viciously, and said word by word: "He is the best person, and you killed him, you killed him." ā€

........................................................................................................................................................................

He took a step back, as if he hadn't thought I would, and stood there slightly stiff.

I tried to break the hand he was holding the knot, but no matter how hard I tried, no matter how hard I bit it with my teeth or pinched it with my hands, he wouldn't let go, and I crouched down to pick up the pieces of the medicine bowl - and when he saw that I was going to do so, he finally let go, looked at me like ashes, and turned away. And I held the "knot knot" tightly in my hand, and fell to the ground, and my palm touched the fragments on the ground, piercing red blood......

Since that day, Lu Li has rarely come, and even if he came, the two did not communicate, like strangers.

About a few days later, the prime minister came to see me, and I didn't refuse.

In the Fanghua Palace, I sipped the tea in my hand and looked at the person opposite, my father, with calm eyes. "I thought my mother wouldn't want to see me." His face was calm, his eyes were complex, and his tone was exactly the same as two years ago, serious, serious, he had always been like this.
