Chapter 31: The Mystery of Life
"Do you know what's going on outside the palace right now?"
"When the slaves and maids came in from outside, they saw that the victims were starving to death on the side of the road, and they were afraid that the soil burned by the war would not be able to grow new food, and there would be nothing to eat, so there would be a famine. ”
"Let's make this famine, why is it all red this day?"
"Madam, you have been out of the palace for a long time, and this day has already turned red. ”
"Oh?
"You've been in this deep palace for two hundred and sixty-five days, and that's one hundred days away, and you've been there for a whole year. ”
"I don't leave the palace, and I can't see any inconvenience at all. You see that the day changes day and night, and I seem to have spent spring and summer in this palace. ”
The Lady of the War Emperor slid the gold-inlaid jade balls on the handle of the phoenix chair. I saw that the sky in this great hall turned from day to night, and from the scorching sun to the stars. Even the flowers carved on the walls were shyly closed.
"I'm sleepy, let's talk about it tomorrow. ”
"But this matter is very important, I have to say. ”
"Then you'll make a long story short. ”
"There is an imminent outbreak of the plague, and we have to move the alfalfa to a safer place. ”
"What? When did you say the plague?"
The lady got up and slid the gold-encrusted balls into daytime mode.
"The plague you are talking about, is it true?"
"There is no falsehood. When I came in from outside the city, I found that the sky had turned from light red to deep red, a sign of the fall of the bell star, a sign of the plague. ”
"Didn't this bell star fall behind the city gate a long time ago, why hasn't it stopped now?"
"Madam, don't you know, the national teacher divined that this bell star is a disaster star that occurs once in a thousand years. This war and famine are still light, and then there will be a catastrophe, and this catastrophe is the plague. ”
"Isn't it just like a wind chill, how terrifying can it be?"
"This is not an ordinary disease, the plague spreads through the air, as long as one person is infected, the entire palace will be infected, and the killing will not be exhausted, and the burning will not be endless. ”
"The plague you're talking about, is it really that powerful?"
"If it is really like what the national teacher said, this will be more terrifying than war. ”
"I have been following the Emperor of War for so many years, I am used to fighting and killing, and I have become numb to those things when I saw him kill people at the age of twelve. ”
"Madame, things will not be as simple as you think. When the bell star falls, there will be disaster!"
"Hearsay, I don't know if what you said is adding fuel and vinegar! Call the national teacher over, I want to ask in person. ”
The wife of the Emperor of War dispelled her sleepiness, woke up with a puff of sandalwood, and called the national teacher to her.
"I ask, you answer, and the rest is spoken. ”
"Yes, ma'am. ”
The national teacher bowed and granted the Emperor of War a privilege, which could be exempted from the gift.
Dressed in an ink-colored gown with two long feathers on his head, the jade jade in the hand of this national teacher is the size of a night pearl, which is said to be a good thing that can be used for divination.
"National teacher, knowing that you have opened the eyes of heaven and have always been able to pinch and calculate, can you help me calculate when I will die?"
Madame's question frightened the national teacher back three steps.
The national teacher who has never counted life and death as a person, how should he answer so as not to save face for his wife. But the heavenly eyes that opened between the foreheads clearly saw the death of the lady.
"Madam, you have no borders!"
"Don't talk to me about this, I want to hear the truth!"
"Madam, if you count life and death, you have to lose ten years of life. ”
"Then do you have the time to die?"
Madame pulled out a sword and put it directly on the neck of the national teacher.
"Why is Madame so anxious to know the date of her death? When this plague breaks out, everyone will have to die, just a second earlier and a minute later. Why bother?"
"Madame's intentions, how can you inquire about them?"
"Just say it, this palace spares you from dying. ”
The national teacher fell to his knees in fright.
"Jihai year, Yihai month, Jihai day. ”
After speaking, the national teacher's head slammed on the ground.
"Jihai year, Yihai month, Jihai day!"
When the wife of the war emperor heard about her death, she sat on the phoenix chair.
"Stand down, all step down. ”
The Lady of the War Emperor turned the gold-inlaid jade balls on the armrests of the phoenix chair.
"Qian'er, you can talk to me for a while. ”
The majestic wife of the Emperor of War collapsed on the phoenix chair at this time, unable to spit out a word for a long time.
"Madame, rest well. ”
"How can I rest! It's only been more than sixty days. How can I continue to waste this time!?"
"Madame, why do you ask, isn't this trying to add to your own troubles?"
"I have to know when I'm going to die so I can plan for alfalfa. ”
"At that time, maybe the whole city will have an outbreak of plague, and the alfalfa will also die, why should you bother with this?"
"No, alfalfa won't die. ”
"She is also a mortal, once the plague breaks out, there is no way for anyone to live. ”
"Before the plague breaks out, you must protect the alfalfa and never let it fall into the wrong hands. ”
"With you, the wife of the War Emperor, supporting her, who can she be bullied by? Who dares to bully her?"
"At that point, it won't be the case!"
The Lady of the War Emperor said earnestly, she seemed to see what was going to happen in the next sixty days, and how to plan for these short sixty days, the Lady of the War Emperor already had a certain number in her heart.
"Alfalfa, this child, was born in troubled times, and if I die, she will never know the mystery of her origin. ”
"Madame, didn't you tell me that this child was. ”
"That's to hide people's eyes. ”
"But I haven't told anyone about it. ”
"That's why you're my true confidant. ”
"Madame, have you been hiding it from me for so long?"
"It's not a trivial matter. ”
"Alfalfa taking this cleansing pill, is it also related to her life experience?"
"Yes, but I can't say until my deadline. ”
"Madam, isn't it to keep the alfalfa buds?
"Qian'er, you have to forgive Madame, it's not that Madame doesn't trust you, it's a last resort to do this, there are many things in this palace, you know that you can never trust a person too early!"
"Ma'am, are you going to tell me the mystery of Alfalfa's origin before you die?"
"I will write Alfalfa's life story on a piece of paper, and before I die, I will find an opportunity to put it behind the hanging plaque behind Alfalfa's Gui Cao Hall, and if you are still alive, take it down and tell her all this, and if you go before me, or if we go together, then let Alfalfa's life history be a mystery forever." ”
"What if alfalfa had to find the mystery of her origin one day???"
"If she finds it, then take the results she finds as her background. It's better to be confused for a lifetime than to be sober for a while. ”
Mama Qian looked at the wife of the Emperor of War with a sad face, and she didn't know whether to comfort or shut up.
"For a lifetime, should I have a happy life with scenery, or should I have a stable and ordinary life?"
The Lady of the War Emperor drank and had fun alone in the stars under this curtain.
"Accompany you all your life, in exchange for the word wife, but you are never a lover. ”
It was the first time in Mama Qian's life to see her wife lose her temper like this.
"Madam, this plague, should I inform Alfalfa so that she can prepare early. “
"There is no need to say what should be said and what should not be said, alfalfa, this child, with the blessing of the gods, can't die, it's not her who should be worried, but yourself!"
"Slaves and maids have only one life, whether they are dead or rotten or alive, it doesn't matter. It's just that Madame, your sixty-day deadline, it is really unrealistic to train Alfalfa into an invulnerable woman. ”
"How's Alfalfa doing now?"
"The Red Flame Palm that you asked me to supervise her to practice every day has been perfected, and besides, her internal strength is now gathering very quickly, as long as she is outdoors, she can quickly absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and I have never seen a child who can absorb energy like this. ”
"As I said, she's no ordinary child. ”
"Alfalfa, could it be?"
The answer will naturally be revealed in sixty days. ”
After speaking, Mrs. and Mama Qian were silent, and after these sixty days, it was the death date of the Emperor's wife, and it was also the day when the mystery of Alfalfa's life story was revealed.
"The lights on the other side of Gui Cao Hall are on, and I will go and see what is going on. ”
"Go quickly, I won't be able to come forward. ”
"Don't you really go and see the alfalfa? ”
"Nope. ”
The wife of the war emperor hesitated, and finally refused.
"The alfalfa is also brought up by you, although you don't care much about it, but you worry about it all the time. ”
"Mama Qian, you don't have to persuade anymore. Seeing the child only made me more heartbroken when I left. ”
"Hey"
Mama Qian turned her head and walked towards Gui Cao Palace.
In this dim sky, only the Gui Cao Hall was brightly lit, and on the empty hall, only Alfalfa was practicing martial arts alone.
"Alfalfa, how do you light all the lights?"
"Sativa is afraid!"
"Where are those palace maids and slaves?
"I was born so lowly, how can I adapt to the days of serving? Besides, those people don't really want to serve, and they make me uncomfortable, so I tell them all to rest. ”
"I called them out to reprimand them well, but you are the object of the Emperor of War personally ordered to take good care of them, how can they be sloppy when they come?"
"Forget it, Mom Qian, I know that you feel sorry for me, but they, I also feel sorry for them, they are all raised by my parents, but in the end they are serving me a cheap embryo with hands and feet. ”
"Don't talk about yourself like that!"
Mama Qian suddenly gave Alfalfa a mouth, perhaps because she vaguely knew that Alfalfa's background was extraordinary, and she tried her best to maintain the mystery of Alfalfa's life experience, but Alfalfa abused herself like this, so that Mama Qian couldn't bear it after listening to it.
"I beat you, not because you belittled yourself, but because you despised those who are desperately trying to protect you! If your life is so cheap, then what are the people who protect you?"
Mama Qian was stunned by this slap, she never thought that Mama Qian was scolding and scolding, but this time she actually beat her up. Alfalfa was stunned by Mama Qian's move. Covering his little face, tears were in his eyes, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
