"Lan Yue."

"Gege, are you alright?" While wiping my hair, she said, "I was just about to call you, but the Ninth Master is here." "She didn't ask me much about what I just said, maybe she knew I didn't want to mention it.

"Ninth Master? Where are the people now? "Why did the Ninth Master come?

"I'm waiting for you in the Flower Hall."

I thought about it for a while and said to her, "You go to the flower hall and invite the ninth master to the small hall downstairs." ”

Lan Yue put down my hair and asked hesitantly, "That Gege, you?" ”

"I'm fine, don't worry." I sent Lan Yue out, got up and went to the wardrobe to find the light blue palace clothes, sat in front of the mirror, wiped my hair, and found the earrings given by the ninth master from the box and put them on. I went downstairs to the small hall and made tea and waited. Sitting at the table, I was in a daze again. I didn't even know that the ninth master had entered the door. When I came back to my senses, the ninth master was sitting opposite me, drinking tea and looking at me.

I smiled embarrassedly: "Brother Jiu came in, why didn't he call me." Just look at me in a daze? ”

"Seeing that your complexion is not very good, I think it is better not to call you good. How are you? "The ninth master is still a beauty, and his gestures reveal inadvertent temptation.

"It's fine. How could Brother Nine come? ”

"I knew you were back and I was frightened on the way, so I came to see you and brought you something." After the ninth master finished speaking, I noticed the boxes on the table.

"It's enough for Brother Jiu to come to see me, why did you take so many things?"

"It's worthless, it's just some medicinal herbs. For you to make up for your body. As he spoke, he opened them to me one by one, saying, "These are fine pearls, and you can grind them into powder and take them, which will soothe the nerves." These boxes are full of old mountain ginseng, which replenishes qi. These boxes are the best ejiao. There are other things that you have people add to your soup when you make it. It's better to take food than medicine. ”

"Brother Jiu, it's too precious, Yu Bing can't stand it."

"Take it, obedient. Oh, and this. As he spoke, he opened a small box, and inside it was a gilded glass with a verdant forehead, which was extremely beautiful. He handed it to me and said, "It's the same earring you're wearing." ”

I took it, bowed my head and whispered, "Ninth Brother is so good to me, won't Eighth Master say anything?" ”

He was stunned for a moment and said, "Yu Bing, what am I going to do with your ninth brother, is it still the turn of others to dictate?" ”

"How strange, the eighth master is deliberately trying to kill me, but the ninth brother has saved me and treated me so well. Hehe...... "They are obviously people from one camp, one wants to kill me, and the other wants to save me."

"Yu Bing, why did you never doubt me?"

I didn't know why, but he asked, "You never seem to have doubted my motives for being nice to you." ”

I smiled and said, "I don't know, Xu thinks that Brother Jiu has no need to calculate me." When Brother Xu Shijiu looked at me, his eyes were very clear. "Yes, why did you never suspect the Ninth Master? It's weird, isn't it?

"You girl, what a strange child." Jiu Ye smiled slightly, the first time I saw him smile like this, it was not the evil of the past, but warm and soft, just like the sunshine outside the house.

He stood up and said to me, "Alright, you can get some rest." The master left first. ”

I hurriedly stood up: "Brother Jiu is leaving now?" ”

He nodded and said to me, "Girl, I'm afraid that the days ahead will be worse than before, you have to protect yourself." The deceased is gone, don't hurt yourself for the person who is gone. You must know that if we do not live in this capital, among our fathers and sons, if we do not soak in blood and walk on the heads of enemies and even other innocent people, we will only die without a place to be buried. With that, he turned and left.

I bowed my head and muttered, "The deceased is gone...... Soaked in blood...... There is no place to die......"

After the ninth master left, I asked Lan Yue to put away all the things and sit at the desk by himself to polish the ink and copy the scriptures. I want to wash away my sins with the scriptures, and wash away the blood from my hands. But can it be washed off? Is this a sin that can be washed away? I know that what can't be washed away is innocent lives. But I still write seriously, and I know that in the years that follow, I can only live in blood.

After a long time, I was so tired that I put down my pen, and when I looked up, I saw the fourth master standing at the door looking at me, and I asked with a smile, "Why didn't the fourth brother come in?" ”

He walked in and sat down at the round table, and I walked over and made tea and handed it to him, and he put the box in his hand on the table, pushed it over and said, "I'll bring this to you." ”

I recognized this box, it was the set of sandalwood boxes with jade ornaments he gave me, and I asked him with a smile: "Isn't this what the fourth brother gave me earlier?" Why did it get into the hands of the fourth brother again? As I spoke, I opened the box and saw that everything inside was still so moist, thinking that someone had taken good care of it. I took out the bracelet, put it on my wrist, and rubbed it carefully.

"By chance, it came to me again. If you don't remember, forget it, anyway, it's all important to get back to you now. He smiled, his eyes filled with warmth. I said to myself in my heart, trust him one more time, give him another chance. Even if it's the last chance.

"Why did the fourth brother come?"

"Come and see you, where's that Lan Qi who has been taking care of you?" He didn't even know about Lan Qi's death, and it seemed that the people in the house were quite tight, and they didn't say anything that shouldn't be said.

But I was still a little gloomy: "Dead." The fright was too much, and it was gone yesterday. ”

The fourth master was silent for a while, and asked me, "Do you want to pick another one from the palace?" ”

I shook my head and said, "No need, it's enough to have Lan Yue." "Another one, I have to check her details, and I have to be on guard at all times, maybe, she will still betray me. I'm tired and don't want to give myself such trouble anymore.

The fourth master knocked on my head, looked at me and rubbed my head and said to me, "You kid, why do you have such a heavy mind." Want to do so much? In the past, let it pass. You are always guarding the past, how can you look forward? Fifth Brother Zhang, they are your guards, and they have all been prepared for this a long time ago. You should also know in your heart that they will face such an end. You've got to let it go, you know? ”

I nodded, "I know, but their blood-stained faces always linger in front of my eyes." I watched them die, die in front of me, die to save me...... Those people are here to kill me, and they wouldn't have died if they hadn't followed me. It's not like that...... What about their families, their wives, their children, their parents, their brothers...... I can't help but think about it. I'm so powerless to protect myself, I can't protect others......"

Yes, I control the secret guard of the Aixin Jueluo family in my hands, but I still have to watch others die, and even decide to strangle their lives. What can power bring to people? Kangxi Ye holds the authority of the world, but he wants to kill his own children. You can't even love the person you want to love. Watching his sons kill each other and frame each other. What kind of world is this?
