3, Yun Qingling and Rong'er
When she woke up the next day, she found herself lying in a chaise longue with a cloak draped over her.
She called, and Qian Xue immediately walked in and reported to her: "The emperor went to the court early in the morning, but Rong Xiuyi came early in the morning, and when he heard that the mother was still asleep, he told the slave and maid not to disturb." ”
"She's coming?" Tao Zhiyi said in surprise, she didn't expect Rong Xiuyi to come so soon, she immediately asked Qianxue to freshen up, and after freshening up, as soon as she got out of the dormitory, she saw Rong Xiuyi sitting quietly, and the nervousness between her eyebrows was easily noticeable.
"Sister." Sensing Tao Zhiyi's footsteps, Rong Xiuyi immediately stood up, her eyes full of anticipation.
Qian Xue had already retreated with the other palace maids, Tao Zhiyi motioned for Rong Xiuyi to sit down again, at this time Rong Xiuyi couldn't wait, took out the note, and said: "I received my sister's note yesterday, and my sister didn't understand what my sister meant. ”
On the note, there are a few beautiful handwritings: Yezhou, elopement.
"You know for yourself, why bother to ask me again." Tao Zhiyuan said.
Rong Xiuyi was stunned for a moment, and lowered her head with an uneasy face: "Please also ask my sister to make it clear." ”
Just looking at Rong Xiuyi's polite behavior now, Tao Zhiyuan would feel that she had guessed wrong, but Rong Xiuyi's deliberately evasive eyes confirmed her conjecture.
"There is a girl who eloped with her lover, but in the end she entered the palace, why do you say why?" Tao Zhiyuan paid attention to her expression.
Sure enough, Rong Xiuyi raised her head in amazement and looked directly at Tao Zhiyuan: "You...... Who the hell are you?! ”
"You shouldn't ask me who I am, you should answer me who you are." Tao Zhiyuan revealed her identity before confirming her identity.
"Me?" Rong Xiuyi smiled dismally at this time, "Sister should have heard about it, everyone said that I was a stand-in, and I couldn't tell who I was." ”
She understands this mood, she is obviously Tao Zhiyuan, Yun Yi always called her Qingling before, that kind of heartache is indescribable, she held Rong Xiuyi's cold hands, and said tremblingly: "You are Yun Qingling, how can you not tell who you are?" ”
Rong Xiuyi Huo Ran widened her eyes, and hurriedly broke free of her hand, like a frightened bird, her face was pale, afraid that she would be caught back in the cage at any time, "No, I'm not, I'm Rong'er, I'm not Yun Qingyuan, I'm not her!" ”
Tao Zhiyuan saw that Rong Xiuyi's reaction was very intense, and her heart became sad, she didn't know what happened after she eloped, she was so scared, it was completely different from Yun Qingling described by Yun Qingyuan, her eyes were red, this is her sister's own sister, and this is also Yun Jinyuan's only relative.
"Now that I see you, I know how similar I was to you, except for the black mole under the eyebrows and height, it seems that there is no difference between the two of us, so I once entered the palace instead of you." Tao Zhiyuan missed her former appearance, and she said quietly, "You are not Yun Qingling, so who else can you be?" ”
"What?" Rong'er raised her head in astonishment and stared at her beautiful face, "Are you...... No, they're all dead, and I'm the only one left! ”
"Someone saved me, and I fled outside the palace, but when I returned to Yezhou, I found that Yunfu had been destroyed, so I asked a master to help me change my appearance and return to the palace to take revenge." Tao Zhiyuan hugged her and calmed her down.
Rong'er noticed that she was saying "me", not "we", and the small expectation in her heart was also shattered, Rong'er couldn't help it, and cried in a low voice: "Sister...... It's all my willfulness, it's all my fault! ”
"Your eldest brother is still alive, you have to be strong."
"Big brother?" Rong'er's tears were hazy, and at this time joy welled up in her heart, and she cried even more fiercely, "I miss them so much, my father and mother always dote on me, I pestered my eldest brother every day to teach me martial arts, my sister always taught me to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I can always hear my younger brother reading when I am lazy and playing......"
So the beauty of the past can't be gone back now.
Tao Zhiyuan could feel Rong'er's sadness at this moment, and she hugged Rong'er tightly, wanting to give Rong'er a trace of warmth.
"Well, don't cry." She patted Rong'er lightly on the back, "Can you tell me, why did you enter the palace?" ”
Rong'er was silent, letting her tears flow.
Tao Zhiyuan sighed, and stopped asking her, now she should send a message to Yun Jinyuan to let him know that his own sister is in the palace. Maybe it's better to send her out of the palace, this harem has already ruined Yun Qingyuan, and she can't be harmed anymore.
Just as she was thinking, Rong'er suddenly grabbed her clothes, her eyes were full of tears, and her voice trembled: "After he and I left Yezhou, we have been going south...... But on the way, we met robbers and robbed us of all our silver......"
Tao Zhiyuan had a bad premonition at this time, her back was like being pierced by thorns, her lips moved, and she didn't say a word.
"We starved all the way, and as soon as we got to the south, he sold me to a brothel!" Rong'er remembered the dirty past, as if a whip was drawn on her body, and her whole body trembled.
As if a roll of ice waves was falling on her head, Tao Zhiyuan was cold and speechless.
"Didn't he say he loved me very much?! Why do this to me? Why?! Rong'er stared at Tao Zhiyuan, wanting to get an answer from Tao Zhiyuan, but she shook her head again, and suddenly laughed at herself, "It's me who is stupid!" I myself went with him without hesitation! This is my own pick! ”
How could Tao Zhiyuan not understand this mood, and Yun Yi didn't treat her like this? It's like a moth to a fire, leaving reason behind. Those wounds cannot be healed, no matter how long it takes, it is a brand that remains in the heart.
"Yunyi also did this to me, don't be sad, it's not worth it."
Rong'er shook her head: "The emperor loves you very much, otherwise how could the emperor take me back to the palace?" ”
Tao Zhiyuan bit her lip and did not speak.
"Half a year ago, the emperor met me on his southern tour, and he called Qingling at that time, and I wondered how the emperor would know my name." Rong'er said, "I was a broken flower, but the emperor took me back to the palace despite the minister's opposition, I thought the emperor loved me, but I didn't know until later that someone had replaced me in the palace draft, and I was almost the same ......" Rong'er glanced at Tao Zhiyuan when she said this, and her smile was indescribably sad.
"Isn't it ridiculous that you entered the palace instead of me, but I became your stand-in?" Rong'er laughed fiercely, she stroked her face with both hands, "He shouts Qingling in his sleep every night, obviously it's my name, but he doesn't call me ......"
Tao Zhi was silent for a moment, and there was a hint of crystal in the corner of her eyes, is this moving or what?
Stop and look at the direction of the distant Siqing Palace, the same palace, the same people, but no longer the state of love at that time.
"Qingling, I ......"
Rong'er interrupted her: "Don't call me Qingling, my current name is Rong'er, the name Qingling, let it sleep in the imperial mausoleum." ”
