Chapter 54: The Fate of the Prisoner (1)
You can hear the sound of snow falling from the sky, like falling earth, burying the cold of the whole spring
============================
The feast didn't end until it was close to the ugly time. Guests and hosts have fun. Xizong was drunk, drunk and dazed, and grinned at Jian Wei drunk, and the queen frowned and ordered Daxingguo to send the emperor back to the dormitory.
The ministers left the field one after another with the guards.
Jian Wei stood on one side and Wan Yan Yong was far away, and Wan Yan Liang was still sitting in place and did not move.
Xuanhui Yuan's Zhongchang attendant Thorn Tiger carefully accompanied the smiling face to serve the queen. The queen general walked two steps, suddenly stopped, pointed at Janeway and said, "Since she is not a person in the palace, let's send her to live in the Huanyi Courtyard for the time being." ”
The matter of Fang Cai, the thorn tiger has always looked at it, and he can't help but feel a little embarrassed. In that place, although her identity is unknown now, who knows what kind of woman it is. Not to mention whether Xizong will be furious after waking up, but he can't afford to provoke that little ancestor.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Yan Liang in fear.
Pei Manhou had been forbearant that night, but because the ministers had not all withdrawn, she suppressed her anger and reprimanded in a low voice: "Confused, you won't find a room to house her alone." The emperor is there, naturally, there is me. Besides, what's wrong with her, who can say anything. Such a woman. She glanced at Janeway disdainfully, "Do you still expect her to be three chastity and nine spirits?" ”
Thorn Tiger was originally a deputy attendant of Zhongchang, and since the death of Concubine De, the queen cleaned up the harem, and saw that he was blindly honest, so he raised his message. When he heard the queen's words, he hurriedly responded, turned around, and instructed the attendant on the side: "Send her to the Huanyi Courtyard and leave her alone in the vestibule." Thinking about it, he still didn't feel at ease, and added, "Tell those guards to behave." ”
Although Wan Yanliang is a little far away, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he naturally has a keen sense of hearing, and when he heard Pei Manhou's words, he frowned, and suddenly, as if he remembered something, his eyebrows stretched out.
Janeway stood there, at their mercy.
She went to see Yan Yong through the drunken crowd, and he was also looking at her, did he hear it? You know? Jian Wei thought, and then watched Ulindana stand up, blocking the sight of the two, she whispered something, Wan Yanyong listened intently, and after a while, he went out with her, and never looked at Jian Wei again.
In an instant, tears were about to burst out of her eyes, she hurriedly lowered her head, facing the gaze of Shangyuanmei, her eyes were mixed with too many complex emotions, but she didn't have the heart to study.
A guard took the order of the thorny tiger, walked down with a big thorn, and pushed Jian Wei unceremoniously: "Why are you still stunned, let's go." ”
Jian Wei was caught off guard and was pushed by him, she steadied herself, turned around and said, "I will go myself." ”
Pucha Baolin, who had been standing next to him, suddenly stepped forward and took off his cloak and handed it to Jian Wei: "The fire in the Huanyi courtyard is small, and the cold night is long. You're going to use it. ”
She said, turned back to call Yuanmei: "Let's go." Yuanmei knelt for a long time, his knees were still numb, he stumbled up, took one last look at Janeway, and followed Pucha Baolin.
This look Jian Wei understood: Please be careful.
She watched Pucha Baolin's petite and indifferent figure come out of the hall, and a trace of warmth swelled in her heart, why should she help herself. The guards impatiently urged Janeway, wrapped in her cloak, and walked silently into the night.
From the warm hall into the spring all the way into the ice and snow.
The empty sky, the world of Xiao Suo, a shallow breath, the cool air penetrated into the lungs, her face immediately became numb, she put on her hood, the wind howled, filled her sleeves, such a winter, a long cold.
Wan Yanliang saw Jian Wei out of the main hall and was about to follow.
Pei Manhou, who had not spoken, suddenly called him: "This palace has something to say to you." ”
Wan Yanliang stood reluctantly: "It's getting late, if the imperial sister-in-law has something to say, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”
Pei Manhou sat down and looked at him for a long time: "Waiting for you to take away that Han girl, will you make a storm in the city?" ”
He raised his eyes to look at Pei Manhou, and did not hide the emotions on his face: "Since the imperial sister-in-law knows, why bother asking." ”
"There are so many such women in the world. If you could have given her up for the sake of the bigger picture that day, why would you do such a foolish thing today? Although she didn't admit it, the envoy of Western Xia would never speak rashly. Such a Han girl of unknown origin tried her best to sneak into the palace, have you ever thought about the reason? ”
"Liang just can't figure it out, that's why I'm going to ask."
"Really? That's why you openly disobeyed the marshal, just to save her life and torture her? Pei Manhou was a little distressed, "Di Gu Nai, why are you so confused." If it weren't for you today, Wanyan Wushu would have killed her to her heart's content. Then, her disobedience, her entry into the palace, her relationship with Wan Yan Yong, and her life experience can all be the sharpest tip of the knife. ”
"Imperial sister-in-law," Wan Yan Liangqiang said to himself, ignoring a trace of strange emotions in his heart, "Shoot people first and shoot horses, and capture thieves and capture kings first." With these things alone, do you think you can move the marshal in the slightest? The imperial brother has always been benevolent, and you don't know his feelings for his people. I just don't want to, I don't want to startle snakes like this. ”
When Pei Manhou heard what he said, he laughed instead, and said for a while: "That's it." ”
She turned her head sideways and called the palace maid to come up, whispered a few words, and the palace maid went by herself.
"Today's events can be turned in this palace, but there is one thing that this palace also wants you to promise." She looked at Wan Yan Liang with blazing eyes, and the depth of her emotions could not be seen clearly, "The twenty-eighth of next month is your imperial brother's birthday, you can copy a volume of poems and send it to him." ”
After finishing speaking, the chamberlain and Gong'e carried the wooden table and the four treasures of the study into the hall.
Wan Yan Liang said: "Imperial sister-in-law, Liang drank wine, dizzy and weak, I am afraid that it will be difficult to do it today." It's not as good as ......."
"It's better to copy it until you don't have mercy." Pei Manhou interrupted him, "Thorn Tiger, you are waiting for the little prince here, and then you will personally send the little prince back to the house after copying." The palace was tired, so I went back first. ”
She got up gracefully, her long skirt swept over the thick felt carpet, and she was about to leave, Wan Yanliang was anxious, so the next volume, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to finish copying it until dawn, he couldn't help but call: "Imperial sister-in-law!" ”
Pei Manhou glanced back at him, with a warning look in his eyes.
Although Wan Yanliang has always been arrogant and self-conscious, even his father is not very afraid, but when this imperial sister-in-law loses her temper, he is inexplicably frightened.
He hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Go slowly." ”
Pei Man rarely saw Wan Yanliang have such a look, his heart softened, he couldn't help but smile, and turned to leave.
Janeway didn't know how long she had been walking with the guard, her feet had become stiff, numb and mechanical, and now it was minus thirty degrees, and her deserted head remembered the Eskimo igloos she had seen on TV, and in the civilized world, the cold could be so charming.
Countless winds and snows rolled up, like invisible shackles, firmly bound to her.
Close, close, the Huanyi courtyard that once passed by.
She thought of the strange and haggard women, the dull sound of rice, the earthen wall, it was another world.
But she wasn't ready.
As the night wore on, she wrapped her cloak tightly, fear and despair slowly rising to her body.
