Chapter 4 Despair (2)
Ouyang Zhen quietly walked to the nurse's side, stretched out his arms and gently hugged her aged body, only this old and even a little bloated body could make her feel a trace of warmth.
This body works hard and complains, and has been by her side since her mother's death. has always accompanied her innocent childhood, accompanied her through the youthful youth, and even, accompanied her into the prosperous capital of China, and walked into this gorgeous cage.
Only the nurse can smile and watch her mess around and be naughty without reprimanding, and only the nurse can understand that she stumbles past the seemingly beautiful scenery in front of people, but behind her is the infinitely dangerous palace years.
She had several ups and downs in the harem, and tasted the warmth and coldness of human affection. When she finally stood in the dazzling golden Qianyuan Hall with great gentleness and grace, accepting the canonization of the emperor and queen; When she took the jade plate, she couldn't help but smile when she saw the word Concubine written on it. With exquisite makeup, she smiled and captivated the country.
It's just that only she knows that from now on she is no longer the innocent and pure Ouyang Zhen, in order to survive in the palace and for her immature daughter, her heart has become extremely hard.
"Nurse, run, where can I escape? Besides, if she escaped from an imperial concubine, wouldn't she be searched and arrested by the soldiers of Chu State? I can hold them back here for a moment. Besides, I'm used to living a life of fine clothes and food, and when I go out of the palace, I'm just a useless woman who will drag them down. ”、
Ouyang Zhen said lightly, as if he was not talking about the big matter of his own life and death, "The emperor is young, and the three of them will be easier to escape with her." As long as I expected it to be right, I walked through the secret passage and passed through the mountain behind the Imperial Garden, and I could reach the south of the outskirts of Huadu Beijing. The Chu army came from the north, although it besieged the capital for half a year, but the suburbs of Beijing in the south were definitely not very familiar, and the three of them dressed as homeless people, it was very ......"
Before the last two words were spoken, there was a sudden explosion outside the hall, as if thousands of troops and horses were crashing at the palace gate. The nurse and Ouyang Zhen were so frightened that they hugged each other.
The palace people outside the Wenqing Palace who had not yet escaped screamed a few times, and they quickly disappeared like frightened birds.
"Nurse, it's too late. You are old and frail, and you are a palace person, I think that the Chu army will not be embarrassed with you much. But as the imperial concubine of the Chinese Kingdom, I was either reduced to a prisoner and subjected to all kinds of humiliation, or I escorted the Great Chu State as a slave and a maid, or even more unbearable, it is better to die for the country, and it is a hundred. Ouyang Zhen said hurriedly, although his face was full of tears, his expression was extremely resolute.
With that, he turned around sharply and walked to the inner room. The nurse had long been crying, and stretched out her hand as if trying to hold her, but she took it back in a daze when she stretched out half of it.
How did she not know that after the country was broken, these women in this gorgeous palace were even more miserable than ordinary people, and the people could still escape and save their lives, but as the most noble women in the country, they couldn't even escape.
Death has become their only best relief.
The nurse was misty with tears, and saw Ouyang Zhen like the last white butterfly at the end of summer, gently skimming through the inner hall of the curtain and walking towards the inner room. Anyway, when the young lady is gone, my old life will follow her.
The nurse stood on the edge of the carved and coiled pear wood door with her old body, put down the peach-colored gauze curtain, and behind the curtain was a slender and slender woman's figure, holding a Bai Ling in her hand and standing silently.
A cool summer breeze blew through the spacious and cold hall, carrying a faint imperceptible smell of blood. The nurse silently shed tears, her heart was so sad that she forgot to wipe it.
"Bell!" With a bang, there was a sound of a heavy object falling to the ground in the inner room, and the nurse's eyelids jumped heavily. Before he could react, the door of the temple suddenly slammed open, and many people seemed to rush in together.
The nurse's old eyes were dizzy, and she only felt that the smell of sweat and blood on those people was extremely unpleasant, and she was suffocated, and suddenly saw a few people rushing to the inner room without saying a word.
In the eyes of several soldiers in the outer hall, a greedy fierce light shot out, and they all rushed to the table, antiques, vases, and jade on the table. After a while, several people scrambled like wolves.
The nurse stared at them blankly. For a while, he stood aside. Suddenly, the soldiers who had just rushed into the inner room exclaimed, and then there was another rude curse. The nurse saw a few soldiers staggering out, suddenly came to her senses, and shouted angrily: "You thieves who killed in heaven dare to alarm the lady to ascend to heaven." You ......"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly looked at the half-opened curtain, and saw a knife in the hand of a soldier flashing coldly, slashing at the snow-white figure. The nurse screamed in fright, but she heard a plop, and the figure fell to the ground. The sword-wielding soldier cursed fiercely: "What a fucking bad luck! Don't die here if you want to die. After that, he put away the knife, didn't look at her, directly picked up the jewelry box on the dressing table, grabbed a handful of beads and bracelets and stuffed them into his arms.
The nurse hurriedly snatched it over, and pulled away Bai Ling who was tied to Ouyang Zhen's neck, fortunately, the soldier was wielding a knife to cut off the Bai Ling, Ouyang Zhen just held his breath temporarily, and the nurse pinched her again, and shook it, and after a while, Ouyang Zhen woke up faintly.
"Nurse, this? ......" Ouyang Zhen's snow-white neck was bruised, and Bai Ling had injured her throat after all, and her voice was hoarse and indistinguishable.
"Miss,......" The nurse couldn't help but cry with joy when she saw her wake up. Ouyang Zhen was in a daze, letting the nurse hold him in his arms, and watched in a daze as a few wolf-like soldiers looted in his palace.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there was an uproar at the door, and before Ouyang Zhen could fully wake up, he saw a big face mixed with blood suddenly appear in front of him.
