Chapter 54: Repentance

It rained for two days in a row, but there was still no sign of stopping.

The Forbidden City was quiet, but at the same time, Prince He's Mansion was shrouded in a solemn atmosphere.

Xing'er knelt in the courtyard soaking wet, a small face was as white as snow, a few strands of wet hair were attached to her cheeks, but her face had long been unable to distinguish whether it was rain or tears, she stared at the closed door in front of her, the cry of a baby came from inside, her shoulders trembled slightly, and the hands hanging on both sides were tightly clenched together.

In the room, Hongtian was sitting upright, with a cold face, and there was a slender figure and a good-looking woman standing on the side, the woman was still holding a baby in her arms, the baby was crying non-stop, a pink little face showed a strange ruddy because of crying, the woman said with a sad face: "Master, even if Sister Xing'er has more than that, but this child is innocent, he can't leave her mother so young!" ”

"What qualifies a woman with a heart like a femme fatale to be the mother of a child?" Hongtian said coldly.

"But the boy has been crying for so long, I'm afraid I'm ......," the woman muttered.

"Where's the nurse? Tell the nurse to take the baby away! Hongyang said sharply.

The grandmother standing on the side of the door hurriedly walked over, took the child and walked towards the inner room, the baby's cry gradually weakened, the woman sat aside, and said softly: "Master, it's raining heavily outside, you better let your sister in, how can her body stand it after being drenched for so long?" ”

Hongyang did not move, and said coldly: "If she wants to kneel herself, she will ask her to kneel, she wants to get up, and no one will stop her. ”

The woman saw that his face was cold, and it was difficult to say anything, she only quietly looked at the gray weather outside and was worried, and after a long time, she heard Hongtian suddenly say: "She has done many outrageous things, and I have repeatedly tolerated them, but not only did she not know how to restrain herself, but she also intensified and did such a big rebellious thing. I have no choice but to hand over the child to you, Wanyu, don't disappoint me. ”

It turned out that the woman was his concubine Wu Zaku, whose name was Wanyu.

Wanyu listened to him tell so painfully, and her heart also turned a thousand times, and said: "The concubine will not let her master down, and she will treat Yongying as her own flesh and blood." ”

Heavy rain such as note, the yard planted a few plantains, the green leaves are huge, the rain knocks on the plantain crackling, the grass is a large sky full of stars, has opened a lot, at this time it was blown by the wind and rain has long lost its shape, the bluestone ground is full of water stains, the apricot knelt there, only to feel the knees cold, the cold like ice floe through the knees, through the flesh, through the bones, straight into the lungs, she looked at the closed door in front of her, the plaque in front of the door "Shu Yu Zhai" hidden in the fluttering wind and rain almost can't see clearly, A gust of wind blew, she couldn't help shivering, even her teeth began to tremble, everything in front of her was like a dream, and she finally gradually fell into the boundless darkness, and a thought came to her mind: It's already summer, why is it still so cold?

The body is a bone-eating chill, she suddenly remembered that such a storm appeared in a dark night, she casually said that Su Yi's father died, Su Yi mourned more than lost her soul and broke into the rainy night, and she held an oil-paper umbrella in the stormy late night to find, the retrieved Su Yi had fallen into a coma, and she was even more distressed, anxious, annoyed, worried, distressed mixed together, she looked at her unconscious, and kept saying sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry......

Hongtian looked at her quietly, she was lying quietly on the bed, her body was a freshly changed undershirt, white as snow, and her cheeks were ruddy, her forehead was a cold veil, her lips were white, and she was trembling and muttering, over and over again, Hongtian finally lowered her head, leaned over, and heard her whisper clearly, but it shocked him: Suyi, I'm sorry......

I remember that he asked her on the way back, changed Su Yi's fate, changed Su Yi's life, and hurt her best sister, did she ever regret it? At that time, she categorically said that she would not regret what she had done. Because of this sentence, he asserted that she was a femme fatale and had a ghost in her heart, and he even regretted that he would fall in love with such a woman in the first place, but she was so guilty, she would say sorry, Hongday's eyes became dark, and he raised his hand and slowly stroked Xing'er's cheek......

The rainy June is finally over, ushering in the sunny July, and with the arrival of July, the weather is gradually becoming hotter.

The cicadas stare at the treetops noisy and uneasy, and the thick scorching sun sprinkled on the ground through the gaps in the trees, forming jagged shadows, and the trees bloomed with white magnolia flowers, fragrant and white, white as feathers.

Under the tree there is a rocking chair made of yellow rosewood, and a woman with an elegant face lies quietly on the rocking chair, her eyebrows are slightly frowned, her beautiful eyes are light, her skin is like congealed cream, and the sun shines on the skin to show a smooth luster.

Qiu Ruo walked over lightly, holding a purple lacquer plate in his hand, and seeing that the woman in the rocking chair was sleeping peacefully, he gently put the two butterfly snacks on the plate and the tea on the stone table next to the rocking chair.

But the woman in the rocking chair suddenly woke up, Qiu Bo turned slightly but still a little confused, Qiu Ruo called softly: "Girl? ”

Su Yi looked at her in a daze, Qiu Ruo saw that her forehead was oozing sweat, and hurriedly handed her a handkerchief, while picking up a fan and gently fanning her up: "This day is getting hotter and hotter day by day, this is fresh grape juice, the dining room is chilled with ice, it is cool, you drink some quickly." ”

Su Yi took the handkerchief but didn't wipe the sweat beads on her forehead, since she lived in the Heart Cultivation Palace, Qiu Ruo and Yun Rou have never called her by her name again, in fact, it is not just them, it is the palace maids and eunuchs in this Heart Cultivation Palace, which one of them did not respectfully call her "girl" when they saw her, it was a common title, but it made her feel sarcastic when she called it out of their mouths.

Su Yi slowly picked up the glass cup, the outside of the cup is tattooed with very protruding auspicious clouds, because it is chilled, so the cup is cold to the touch, inside is verdant grape juice, there are some crushed ice floating on it, because she likes to eat grapes, so he ordered to go down every other day to have fresh grapes picked from the hot land of the frontier, and in the western suburbs of the capital for her to set up a piece of land for planting grapes, he is so attentive, but she feels flattered, uneasy, every day to see so many grapes, But I no longer have the heart to eat grapes, and I no longer have that kind of hope.

Yun Rou ran over from a distance in a goose yellow shirt, she was already petite, and she ran like a butterfly with wings flying high, Su Yi looked at her red fluttering little face, and couldn't help but smile: "In such a hot weather, what are you doing in such a hurry?" ”

When Su Yi came to him, Fang stopped taking a big breath and took a few breaths, and said while wiping the sweat from his cheeks with a handkerchief: "Long live the master and a few adults are competing in archery at the arrow pavilion, and several young masters in the palace have gone, Gonggong Wu asked the servants to ask, do you want to go and see?" Extremely lively......"

"I'm not a little master, why should I go?" Su Yi said quietly.

Yun Rou was silent all of a sudden, Qiu Ruo glanced at her embarrassedly, and said to Su Yi: "It's not good for the girl to be stuffy like this all the time, the weather is just right today, why don't you go and take a look?" ”

He said to Yun Rou again: "Who are the adults?" ”

Yun Rou replied softly: "There are our fifth masters, as well as Lord Ji and Master Gu, Lord Hai and Master Hai, and two adults are said to be the new martial champions. ”

Su Yi couldn't help but be stunned when she heard her mention Gu Yanzhao, and looked at the grape juice on the table in a daze, he was also ......

The arrow pavilion is located outside the Jingyun Gate, dedicated to the place where the emperor's brother rides horses and shoots arrows, the top of the yellow glazed tile mountain, the corridor on all sides, the momentum is magnificent.

When Su Yi arrived, arrow targets had already been placed in front of the arrow pavilion, and a small eunuch stood next to each arrow target. From a distance, I saw the emperor wearing a blue satin embroidered flat gold dragon moire arrow sleeve, surrounded by everyone standing in front of the hall, although he couldn't see clearly, his expression was heroic. There were a few people standing beside him, and his eyes turned slightly in the middle of those people and he saw Gu Yanzhao, he was wearing a long robe of moon white brocade, standing on one side, Ji Huang beside him said something to him, he only bowed his head slightly. Su Yi was stunned, and a mist appeared under his eyes, he seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and a humble gentleman who was originally as gentle as jade seemed to be lonely at this time.

At this time, the game had already started in front, Gu Yanzhao took the lead, the little eunuch beside him handed over an arrow, he held it in his hand and tried it and pulled the bow, the two people on the other side were also ready to stand, and when the gong struck the three arrows had been shot out in unison, he hit the bull's-eye with one arrow, and the other two were the same, there was a burst of applause around, and Su Yi couldn't help but hook his lips. There are eunuchs who came to remove a layer of arrow targets, the back of the arrow targets are a few zhang away from the previous ones, the three of them are all pulling their bows, only a flash of their eyes to see the three arrows galloping out, but only two of the three arrows hit the bull's-eye, and the other arrow shot at the target but a little off, Su Yi looked up at the two, one is Gu Yanzhao, the other is Hongday.

Hongli was looking back at Gu Yanzhao, and inadvertently saw Su Yi standing in a corner, looking at this side blankly, her eyes sank, Su Yi saw Hongyi looking at her with heavy eyes, and couldn't help lowering her head, Hongli was looking at the two people who were archery and saw Gu Yanzhao standing there looking in one direction, so he followed his gaze, and suddenly saw Su Yi standing there with his head down, a chill appeared in his eyes, turned around and walked into the middle, and said to the eunuch beside him: "Bring the arrow!" ”

The eunuch hurriedly presented the emperor's bow and arrows.

Hongli said to the two: "If you want to compete, you have to use real kung fu, there are three good sweat and blood horses, how about we compete on horseback?" As he spoke, he walked over and mounted his horse.

Hongtian and Gu Yanzhao glanced at each other, and also silently walked to the horse and rode on the horse, Qiu Ruo suddenly said: "Isn't it a competition for archery?" How can there be equestrianism? ”

Yun Rou said: "What you compare on horseback is the real kung fu." ”

Su Yi listened to them talk about a distraction and saw that there was already an arrow on the arrow target, but it did not hit the red heart, only shot on the target, almost a finger away from the red heart, looked up and saw that Hongyang only had a bow left in his hand, and knew that this arrow was shot by him, but saw Gu Yanzhao was riding a horse and galloping, pulling up the bowstring in his hand, and the arrow flew out in an instant, shooting steadily at the bull's-eye, looking at the arrow target, Su Yi couldn't help but show a smile, but in an instant, the arrow on the bull's-eye was hit by another fast-coming arrow and hit the bull's-eye, Su Yi was shocked, The three men on their horses had already gotten up and dismounted.

The cheers of the crowd sounded in their ears: "My emperor is heroic, long live, long live, long live!" ”

The voices were boiling, the cheers resounded in the sky, Gu Yanzhao stood calmly in the middle of everyone, and Qiu Ruo beside him suddenly said: "It's a pity, Lord Gu has obviously been shot." ”

Yun Rou argued: "But I think it's even more powerful." ”

Su Yi only felt that her chest was tight, she turned around and walked straight away, Qiu Ruo glared at Yun Rou, and hurriedly followed, Yun Rou pursed her lips and muttered in her heart: Did I say something wrong?
