Chapter 37: Laughing at the past, sighing at loneliness
But I heard the ninth master say: "You did the right thing. Burned well. It's good to burn. That Ren Boan. Originally my minion. Once upon a time in the household department. Later went to business. The things he did with starlings behind his back. I know. But I don't bother to care. I never thought it would be like this. Up and down in the middle. There's no one who isn't in that booklet. Even me. It's just all the pickling stuff that all starlings do. It's all on me, the tenth, and the fourteenth."
"Brother Nine." The words of the ninth master. A cloud of questions rose in my heart. Baye, this is what to do. Could it be that he plans to cook rabbits and dead dogs after he ascends the throne.
The ninth master smiled: "Hehe. Nothing. It's just that the game isn't what I originally wanted. So it's just a little boring. Now all the fires are burned. And my heart was pure. Speaking of which. When the starlings approached us at first. I probably expected that something like this."
"Close." I don't know how many stories there are behind this.
"It doesn't matter if it's me, the tenth brother or the fourteenth brother. In fact, it was the starlings who deliberately approached us at the beginning. In order for us to be in his camp in the future. He has worked hard to start the business since he was a child. We are full of sons and mothers. The origin of the slave of the good concubine Niangniang Naxin Ku cheap slave. I don't have anything to do with him. But he's smart. Very, very smart. He knows how to please people. He easily won my mother's heart. Thus often in and out of Zhuangyi Temple. Then came in touch with me. But I still don't like him. Don't bother to pay attention to him. Until that year. Six-year-old me was playing outside with Lao Shi. At that time, it was already spring. Lao Shi saw a lotus 'flower' in the middle of the lake and ran straight over. He has been physically strong since he was a child. Run fast, too. I can't stop him. I had to chase after him. But who knows. The two of us just stepped through the already thin ice. Fell into the lake. The lake is so cold. The ice is overwhelming. Coincidentally, not by coincidence. On weekdays, I always sit in the room and read a myr. Actually passing by. Saved both of us. Since then, Lao Shi has been devoted to him. And I. And so I followed him."
The Ninth Master said. Smiled self-deprecatingly. Sighed softly. A little Ninth Master came to mind. Chasing the same six-year-old Tenth Master stumbling on the ice. A pink lotus flower stands out on the ice. The two children who fell into the water frowned in pain. The eight-year-old Eighth Master unexpectedly came to the rescue. I seem to be able to imagine the smug smile in the heart of the eighth master at that time.
The Ninth Master continued: "Because of the two of us. He gradually became acquainted with the fourteenth brother. It's not that the naïve fourteenth brother gradually followed him willingly. Interestingly. When Concubine De asked us to go to her palace to have a snack. I always specially instructed to call the starling. How strange. has always been a pretentious concubine. He would even take the initiative to approach an elder brother from Xinzheku." Defei Niangniang. It's really weird. She's such a 'sex'. What the hell is it for.
The ninth master stopped talking no more, and only drank tea with a tea cup. I looked at the faint smile on his lips and the soft mockery in his eyes. And then he said, "But all this. It's interesting to watch. Isn't it. Watch and see how everything will play out. It's a lot more interesting than watching a play where you already know the ending."
The Ninth Master looked at me with some surprise. Then he smiled. Nodding his head, he said, "You girl. It's really interesting. So many years. You're the first person I expected."
He paused for a moment. And then he said, "Indeed. It's interesting to see how it all develops. I watched as Concubine De sent Fourteen into Starling's camp. Watch her teach her younger son to go against her eldest son. I watched her come up with the idea to help the starling get the Gege of Guo Luoluo's family. I looked at the red walls and yellow tiles hiding the hearts of the people who fought for power and profit. Oh. And my fifth brother. The fifth brother who grew up with the emperor's grandmother. Chanting sutras and chanting Buddhas suppresses the yuang and evil thoughts in his heart. You've always wondered why you were punished for kneeling when you first saw my mother. In fact, it was the fifth brother who deliberately took you to Zhuang Yiyuan that day. Until then. Because the palace is full of rumors that you are young and beautiful. Received the Emperor's grace. It's the Borzigit of Korqin's Golden Blood again. My mother naturally hates you. And the fifth brother knows it. He also led you to the door. Afterwards he felt sorry for you and suffered. How interesting. This is a thousand people. It's all a play."
He smiled. But in my eyes. But he looked lonely. Looking at such a ninth master. I was speechless. What to say. What can I say? I'm not a party. Can't fully comprehend his feelings. There is no way to persuade it.
Before I can find the right words to say. The ninth master opened his mouth again. Smiled and asked me, "'Jade' ice. Didn't you worry that I was lying to you? Aren't you afraid that I'm sent by the starlings to 'confuse' and 'confuse' you, to approach you, and to control you?"
He asked. Really asked me. Oh, yes. Why didn't you worry about this? I looked down and thought about it. said: "Brother Jiu asked. I just found out. I really didn't think about it. Speaking of which. Brother Jiu is actually the one I can't understand the most. Others. Even if it's Huang Amma. It is also the principle that each has its own 'nature'. Only the ninth brother. Game World. Your principle seems to be to look at the mood and how you have fun at all times. How to watch the play comfortably. I don't know when. What will be Brother Jiu's mood. And how will it affect the relationship between you and me? But I just didn't worry about what Brother Nine said. To say. Maybe it was when Brother Jiu said these things to me. Although it is still the cynical smile of the past. Sincerity and loneliness in the bottom of the eyes. Everything, everything. Always make me forget. The ninth brother and the eighth master who are always thinking about how to kill me are in the same group."
Oh, yes. The sincerity and loneliness in his eyes. I can't doubt it. But. Nine masters. If you have deceived me; What can I do? I added, "One more point. Probably just think. Brother Jiu is reluctant to harm me."
The ninth master raised his eyebrows. I smiled and said, "To Brother Jiu. I may be an exception. You can't guess what I'm going to do. Not sure what I'll say next. So you've seen enough of the battle between them. Do you think of me as the freshest drama now?"
"It's not so much the freshest play. It's the freshest game. You're too different. You're right. I don't know what you're going to do next. Not sure what you're going to say. Like I'm the first time. To a certain person. There are so many things to look forward to. So.' Jade' ice. Use your cleverness. Protect yourself. Otherwise, Brother Nine I. But it's going to be boring." He said. I laughed unconsciously. I looked at his bright smiling face. Laughing too.
The Ninth Master stood up and said, "Okay. It's time for me to go, too. You can rest and rest again. Look at your little face. The air 'color' is too bad. Don't drink like this anymore. You've hurt your vitality before. I can't stand such a toss." His voice was soft. But with a rare tenderness. I smiled and nodded. Say to him, "Brother Nine. It's not like you can see the ending from the beginning. You will be able to stop when the end comes. Sometimes. It's even more lonely when you see it through." The ninth master has such a clear mind. When it all comes to an end. What kind of mood would he be in?
The Ninth Master was stunned for a moment and laughed again. He said to me, "No, it's you. I can't see through it." After speaking. He walked away in the sunlight outside the 'door'. Leave me with a chic back shrouded in the pale orange 'color' sun.
After the ninth master left. I'm sitting at my desk. Remembering everything the Ninth Master said. Although what the eighth master did cannot be said to be beyond my expectations. But it also really puzzled me. can be the most incomprehensible. It's Concubine De. She deliberately let the Fourteenth Master get close to the Eighth Master. What is the purpose of pushing the fourteenth master into the camp of the eighth master. If it is to help the Fourteenth Master fight for the position of prince......
That's right. That's it. The position of the prince. It is inevitable that the eighth master will not become a prince. He came from too low a background. There is no way to deter the minister. And in the same camp as him. Nine masters are impossible. The qualifications of the tenth master are not enough. Only the Fourteenth Master.. Very smart. It's hard to find fault with people and everything. The background is also enough. If the eighth master loses.. It's a given. Then for the preservation of power. They will inevitably choose another person from their camp. And this person is naturally the Fourteenth Master.
Concubine De is really calculating. But why don't you just support the fourth master. It's really hard to figure out. Could it be that there is some inside story? I thought about it for a long time. Zhi Kailan Yue. Tell Yun San to send a message back. Carefully check the concubine. I'd like to see. This looks like a pretentious concubine. There's something unsavory behind the scenes.
