Chapter 9: The Wailing Moon Weeps

The threshold chrysanthemum is sorrowful, the smoke and orchid are crying, the curtain is light and cold, and the swallows are flying away. Mingyue does not know how to leave hatred and bitterness, and the oblique light penetrates Zhu Hu. Last night, the west wind withered the green trees, and I went up to the tall building alone and saw the end of the world. If you want to send color notes and rulers, you know where the mountains and rivers are.

Su Yi only rested for one day, and on the second day, she still went to the dining room early to be busy.

Wei Lianghong only glared at her viciously when he saw her and threw a whole basket of green and faint lotus seeds in front of her, Su Yi couldn't help but feel funny, the lotus seeds in the imperial dining room were sent in directly from outside the palace, although the lotus seeds sent in before were all peeled, but now they are all fresh lotus seeds, this appearance must also be Wei Lianghong's deliberate, she sighed long, pursed her lips helplessly, and began to peel lotus seeds, the skin of lotus seeds is thin and difficult to peel, She peeled off her fingernails for a while and began to hurt slightly, but only some of them were peeled off, and there were still a lot left, she moved her sore waist slightly, raised her hand to wipe the sweat beads on her forehead, and inadvertently saw a little eunuch in the courtyard kneeling under the scorching sun, he was holding a red carp that had been slightly dried in his hand, and the blue clothes on his body had been soaked with sweat, and he looked at most fourteen or fifteen years old. I don't know how long it will last, but no one seems to care about this little eunuch when he looks around, Su Yi looks at his face and finds that his lips are dry and unshaped, and he can't tell whether it is sweat or tears on his face, but his eyes are red.

Su Yi couldn't help but soften, but her identity was hindered, and many things were not under her control, so she was ruthless and didn't look at him and only lowered her head to peel lotus seeds, but she was startled when she suddenly heard a plop, and instinctively looked up to find the source of the sound, only to see that the little eunuch had fainted to the ground, she couldn't care about anything else and hurriedly went out of the house and squatted in front of the little eunuch to look at him, the little eunuch was flushed, his lips were white, obviously he was suffering from heat stroke, Su Yi hurriedly took out a handkerchief, took a basin of cold water, leaned over and knelt down in front of him to wipe his cheeks, Zhang Dongsheng was instructing someone to deliver the fruit, seeing Su Yi running out of the house in a panic, he also followed out of the house, and when he saw it in the courtyard, he immediately sighed, walked to Su Yi's side, pulled her up, and said, "Su Yi, you don't care about him, just do your part." ”

Su Yi's face was also oozing sweat from busyness, and she argued: "He has passed out, no matter what mistakes he makes, this punishment should be enough." ”

Zhang Dongsheng sneered, and said disapprerovitically: "Su Yi, he offended Manager Wei, you know the methods of Manager Wei, if Manager Wei doesn't say anything to let him get up, he can only continue to kneel if he dies here, I advise you not to care too much, so as not to affect yourself." ”

Su Yi said nothing with a calm face, Zhang Dongsheng was helped by Su Yi a few times, and he couldn't bear to her, and when he saw that she was displeased, he no longer stopped it, but said: "I'm for your good, you can't see others wronged like this, but I'm afraid that in the end it will be you who are wronged." ”

Su Yi didn't know that Wei Lianghong was already dissatisfied with her, and at this time, if she was so kind to this little eunuch, if Wei Lianghong saw it, she didn't know how many incidents would happen? It's just that she can't bear it in her heart, she only feels uncomfortable when she sees this little eunuch fainting, there are too many things in this world that she can't do, and now she can obviously help him, maybe insignificant, maybe insignificant, but she can't just watch it. She took a breath and said to Zhang Dongsheng, "I know that you are for my good, and I will be careful." ”

Zhang Dongsheng nodded, took two steps and turned back and said, "Among the people who pinched him, if it was just heat stroke, it should be fine." ”

Su Yi smiled knowingly, leaned over and raised the little eunuch's body slightly, and pinched his middle with one hand, sure enough, the little eunuch slowly opened his eyes, a pair of crescent-like bright eyes were a little confused at first, and then there was a surprise overflowing from those eyes, Su Yi was also happy to see him wake up, and said, "Are you awake?" ”

The little eunuch just looked at her fixedly, and exclaimed, "Sister fairy? ”

Su Yi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "What do you say?" What do you think? What's uncomfortable? ”

The little eunuch seemed to have just come back to his senses, and Su Yi let go of him when he saw that his eyes had regained a little clarity, and said, "Why are you kneeling here?" What went wrong? When the little eunuch saw her ask, his face immediately darkened, and tears fell down like broken threads, and he sobbed and said, "This carp was originally raised in a water tank, and it was originally intended for tomorrow's lunch, but when I changed the water, I accidentally hit the water tank and killed this carp, so Manager Wei punished me for kneeling here." ”

Su Yi was dumbfounded, he was exposed to the scorching sun just for a fish, and was about to say something to comfort him when he heard Xing'er's voice sound: "Su Yi ......" raised his eyes to see that Xing'er had already walked over and grabbed Su Yi's arm and was about to leave: "You care about other people's affairs again?" It's hard to protect yourself and worry about others, let's go. Su Yi couldn't break away and said, "Wait a minute." He bent over and handed the handkerchief to the little eunuch, and said, "Wipe your face with the handkerchief, and be careful with your body." ”

The little eunuch looked at their departing backs with tears in his eyes, it was a very simple silk handkerchief, it seemed to have a faint fragrance, the handkerchief was embroidered with four ruyi cloud patterns and some green bamboo, but now this snow-white silk handkerchief was dirty by the sweat stains on his face, the little eunuch carefully wiped his hand on the clothes a few times before he dared to pinch the silk handkerchief and put it into his arms with great affection, and knelt again, perhaps because of the care of strangers, he suddenly felt that this hot and unbearable summer day was not so boring, and his body seemed to have strength.

The waning moon shone on the people, and the breeze shone the case white, the candle flame flickered non-stop, and a few pieces of hibiscus flowers outside the open window floated in and landed on the case with a breeze in the evening breeze.

"Childe, someone is looking for you outside." A young man who looked like a scholar walked into the room and said to Gu Yanzhao.

Gu Yanzhao is writing calligraphy, and on the rice paper is a row of elegant and vigorous small seals: a few times the flowers sit down and blow the flute, and the silver and red walls look into the distance. It seems that this star is not last night, for whom the wind is exposed and the midnight is upset. Lingering thoughts and pulling out the cocoon, like a sad heart peeling banana. In March and May of three or five years, the poor glass of wine never went away.

Seeing him looking at the rice paper, the scholar called softly, Gu Yan Zhaofang woke up like a dream and asked, "Who is it?" ”

The scholar shook his head and replied, "I don't know." ”

Gu Yanzhao put down the pen in his hand and gently brushed off the hibiscus petals on the rice paper, and took a piece of white and brand-new rice paper to cover it, and then walked out, followed closely behind by the scholar.

When he went out of the mansion, he saw a short man in cloth standing outside the door, and the man didn't salute when he saw Gu Yanzhao, and said, "Lord Shen wants to see Gu Gongzi." ”

Gu Yanzhao was really puzzled, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and asked, "Lord Shen?" ”

The man replied, "Yes, right now, in the prison of the Zongren Mansion. My words have been brought, as for whether the son goes or not, it has nothing to do with me, and I will retire. After speaking, Gu Yanzhao turned around and walked away quickly.

Gu Yanzhao wondered in his heart, the prison of the Zongren Mansion, he had been to it many times but always closed the door, if it wasn't for Lord Sun's help last time, he wouldn't have been able to see Lord Shen at all, how could this person say that Lord Shen invited him to go now? After thinking about it for a while, he went back to the house and changed into a stone blue robe and ran towards the Zongren Mansion. He didn't know if he could see Lord Shen now, but he still had to try, not for anything else, just for Su Yi, because of Su Yi, he tried his best to save Lord Shen out, and now that he has the opportunity to see him, he naturally can't help but go.

The moonlight shone on Gu Yanzhao's body like a light veil, pulling his figure out a long shadow.

Zongrenfu prison.

"Lord Shen!" Gu Yanzhao walked to the cell door and shouted. Even now he still had doubts in his heart, how could he enter the Zongren Mansion so smoothly tonight, without anyone hindering him, seeing Lord Shen with his back to him, sitting motionless on the ground, his heart tightened.

Shen Weizhong slowly turned around when he heard the voice, and saw a tall and handsome figure standing outside the prison, hurriedly stood up, ran to Gu Yanzhao, and said excitedly: "Gu Gongzi, you are here!" ”

Gu Yanzhao saw that his originally tall and strong figure had now become so thin and sloppy, and his former red face had also become pale and haggard, unkempt, as if he was more than ten years old, where was there still the shadow of the high-spirited Ministry of Rites in the past, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Lord Shen, you have suffered." ”

Shen Weizhong shook his head: "What am I?" Yiyi is suffering. ”

Hearing him mention Su Yi, Gu Yanzhao's heart was sour, and he said bitterly: "I'm sorry, I'm incompetent, I can't protect Su Yi, and I can't save you." But Lord Shen, your case already has some eyebrows, the seal on the edict is fake, someone privately engraved the seal and then pretended to be your handwriting, the private seal and the person who imitated your handwriting I have already found out, but they are not in the capital now, it will take a little time to find them, you wait, I will definitely save you! ”

Shen Weizhong waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Gu Gongzi, to this day, I don't expect to get out of this prison alive, I called you here today to tell you one thing, you must promise me!" ”

Gu Yanzhao heard that he was quite discouraged and saw through the red dust, so he wanted to persuade him, and saw that his face was solemn, so he said: "My lord, please say, as long as Xiaosheng can do it, he will do his best!" ”

I saw Shen Weizhong turn around and paced a few steps, then walked back and asked, "Gu Gongzi, do you have anything to rely on in your heart?" ”

Gu Yanzhao smiled bitterly and said: "I have long been a non-marrying Su Yi, and I have made a covenant for the third generation, if it weren't for your accident, I would have come to the door to ask for marriage." ”

Shen Weizhong couldn't help but smile on his face, and said: "In this case, I will give Su Yi to you today, hoping that you can treat her well and protect her for the rest of her life." ”

Gu Yanzhao couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard Shen Weizhong's intention to marry Su Yi to him, and then thought of this situation again, but he couldn't laugh, and said: "I will definitely live up to your old expectations, I will love her well, take care of her, and never let her suffer the slightest grievance." ”

Shen Weizhong nodded with satisfaction, and asked again: "Yiyi is now a palace maid in the palace, and she won't leave the palace until she is twenty-five years old, can you wait?" ”

Gu Yanzhao said firmly: "Even if I wait for a lifetime, I am willing." ”

Shen Weizhong said: "It's so good, I finally didn't see the wrong person, it's late at night, you go back!" I hope you don't forget your words today and treat Suyi well. ”

Gu Yanzhao bowed slightly, and said: "My lord, you must cheer up, the case has progressed, you must wait for me, I will definitely help you exonerate." ”

Shen Weizhong waved his hand, turned around and walked to the corner of the wall and sat down with his back to Gu Yanzhao.

Gu Yanzhao let out a long sigh and turned to leave.
