Chapter Seventy-Four: Seeking Revenge
It was night, and the candles were lit in the palace. In fact, today's night should be no different from weekdays, but from the moment of the accident in Qingyin Pavilion, everyone has a vague sense in their hearts, and today's events will never be easily understood.
After the night fell, the servants of the various palaces all went back to their rooms to rest for a while, and some were transferred in shifts, and those who should go back also went. Among the many servants who can rest, Father-in-law Lu is also one of them.
What his family's surname is is unknown, after entering the palace, the godfather who followed was surnamed Lu, and he also had the surname Lu, and later followed Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu said that she liked the word 'Yong', and Father-in-law Lu also had a name, called Lu Yong.
The eunuchs in the palace were castrated, most of them had treacherous voices and feminine behaviors. It is mainly due to the premature underdoing of such surgeries, which has been caused by insufficient androgen secretion since then. But among these eunuchs, Gonggong Lu, who followed Concubine Shu, was slightly different. Except for the lack of a beard on his face, there is no difference in his posture and posture as a normal man.
He is indeed handsome, and he is one of the best in the palace, whether he is compared with the guards or the medical officer. He is the chief eunuch in Chuxiu Palace, and his residence is much better than that of other palace slaves. He stepped into the house with a pair of soap boots, and heard a leisurely cry coming from inside the room.
The cry was grumbling, and there was no light in the room, and it was pitch black, and it sounded like a woman was crying, and while crying, it sounded like there was a sound of water ticking. He took a step forward, and felt his feet in a liquid stomp.
"Father-in-law Lu...... Why do you want to harm me......" the woman's voice cried, "I ...... with you. It is clear that there is no injustice and no hatred...... Why do you want to do such a thing......"
Lu Yong is not a timid person, in the final analysis, he helped Concubine Shu kill people, if he really had a conscience, he would not take the lives of others again and again. But limited by the fear of ghosts and gods, no matter how bold he is, before he knows the cause and effect of this thing, he is still somewhat jealous.
"Who's pretending to be a ghost there!"
He stood in front of the door and shouted. The other party replied with a bit of resentment, "Father-in-law Lu, don't you know me?" Day...... In the lake that day, you were the one who pushed me into the water......"
As the voice got closer and closer, in the darkness, a pale blue flame lit up like a ghost fire. With this little firelight, the people at the door finally saw that it was a painting drifting closer and closer.
It was the picture of blood and tears that was discovered by Kang in the Imperial Garden today and had already spread throughout the palace in just one afternoon. Zhenruo in the painting is wearing the clothes that Lu Yong is extremely familiar with. Her eyes wept, and as she cried, the blood trickled down her cheeks.
"You...... Don't talk nonsense! ”
"Am I talking nonsense?" Gu San hid on the roof, holding the rope in her hand, and slowly moved the portrait slightly forward with her hands and feet, after Bixi and Zhao Yuan'er's training, although her voice could not sound 100% similar to Zhenruo, but in this case, it was still okay to fish in troubled waters, "Gonggong Lu, the water in the lotus pond in the Imperial Garden that day was so cold." That's how I was drowned by you, how can you say, I'm talking nonsense? ”
"You just fell into the water at first. It's you who don't care! ”
There was a slight tremor in his voice. In the bold, in the face of the unknown, there is still more than enough and not enough. Besides, today's pretending to be a ghost, Gu San has been rehearsing for several months, how can it be so easy for him to see through it?
When the emperor was still in Qingyin Pavilion, she sneaked to Gonggong Lu's residence earlier to make this pre-arrangement. Everything is in Zhao Yuan'er's design, no matter Lu Yong's schedule today, the people who are currently in the palace of Concubine Shu, why did she choose to go to the imperial garden in the afternoon to play gongs and drums to stage this good show.
Because every step, every button, is tightly fastened in the key, step by step, just waiting to tighten the rope and pull all those who owe her into this abyss. Zhao Yuan'er had been planning for everything for today for too long, she didn't just draw a few pictures.
In today's game, what she wants is for all the wicked to be exposed, and to kneel down and kowtow in front of her to apologize.
Gu San sat on the roof, pinched his throat and said angrily, "The water is so shallow, even if I fall, I can come up myself!" If you hadn't wanted to kill me, I wouldn't have gotten to this point. ”
The surface of this painting has already been coated with a layer of things, and after it burns, the ghost fire spreads up little by little along the lot, and the lotus pond on the first layer is disappearing, and then the second layer is revealed.
Lu Yong stood in place, obviously frightened, his feet wanted to move but he couldn't move at all. Gu San slowly poured water down the roof along the way, creating that kind of water flow sound.
The painting on the second floor is the hell of the nose, where the flames are rising and burning everyone. Jane stood alone in it, pitiful and desolate.
"I beg you, I want you to let me go, give me a way to live. But you refused at all, and insisted that I die! It's been so hard after this death, Father-in-law Lu. I hate you so much, you killed me...... You...... It's you! You've killed me! I want you to kill people to pay for your life, and I want you to go to the underworld with me to be tortured! I wish I had skinned you, eaten your flesh, and drunk your blood! ”
Lu Yong finally gradually collapsed under the triple blow of sight, hearing and wet touch, and he was a little unscrupulous, "You...... You...... You can't blame me entirely for your death! If you want to blame it, blame the lady lady! And also...... And blame yourself! If you don't look for a good way to go that day, you have to choose the Royal Garden. Originally, there weren't many people in that place on weekdays! Why are you going? ”
"Do I hear...... I heard what the lady said, should it be my fault? I was also unintentional, I never thought that there would be other people in the Imperial Garden that day...... I'm just passing by to get the ice for our mother......"
"The words of the master, the slave should not listen to them, let alone such important words! There are so many ways to get ice from the storeroom, why should you choose a dead end? ”
"Do you still think this matter has nothing to do with you? Lu Yong, you killed someone, you didn't kill more than one. You are really not afraid of retribution for the sake of the lady lady with blood on your hands? Will you be able to sleep peacefully every night? Aren't you afraid that if you close your eyes, those who are killed by you will come and choke you by the throat and ask for your life? ”
After Gu San fixed the rope in the middle, he quietly came to the position above Lu Yong's head along the beam, and slowly put down the aquatic plants that had been completely wet.
"You...... You don't talk about that...... I don't believe it...... I don't believe it! ”
"You don't believe it? Hahahahaha...... Father-in-law Lu, even if you don't believe it, your life will still be repaid to me after all. ”
If the previous ones can still be called "pretending to be ghosts", but the moment the water grass touched Lu Yong's cheek, the eunuch's psychological defense line was finally defeated. Hearing and vision are all possible to fake, in such dim conditions, if the ghost fire burns and will float on its own, Zhenruo's crying is already weird enough, and at this moment, coupled with the touch of wet water plants, even if he is hard-mouthed, there is no way to completely deny all this.
Lu Yong finally weakened his legs, and knelt forward, "Zhenruo girl, the order to kill you was given by Niangniang!" If you hadn't heard something you shouldn't have heard that day, it would have been over. But at that time, you followed your master, and you were already favored in the palace, who didn't know that the emperor regarded the small statue painted by Concubine Kang as a treasure and cherished it in every way? If you tell her about our mother's fake pregnancy and competition for favor. Our mother's life will be ruined! ”
Among those aquatic plants, there are actually silver wires that have long been set into slings. Between Lu Yong's collapse and forgiveness, it had already fallen on his neck.
Gu San did this well, and her body was vigorous and quietly facing down the door frame, but fortunately, her body had basically changed from soft to her own, and the muscles of her body could be controlled by herself, and her footsteps fell silently behind Lu Yong.
She stretched out her hand and slowly touched Lu Yong's face from his back, "Father-in-law Lu, your mother's life is a lifetime, isn't my life a lifetime?" I want to live, father-in-law...... I want to live like those who were killed by you! ”
"If you want to kill or slash, come at me! I am the one who took your life, I am the one who killed you! But our mother is really helpless, why did you hear what they were secretly discussing at that time! I also saw which doctor she was looking for! ”
As soon as Lu Yong's words fell, Gu San pulled the rope and tightened the lasso, strangled his throat and pulled him up. As she pulled, the lights in the room turned on in an instant, and the moment the light was bright, Lu Yong finally saw all the furnishings in the house, as well as the screen in the house.
And at the moment when the lights were turned on, several eunuchs walked out on both sides of the screen, moved the screen to the side, and a person sitting behind the screen could be seen.
The emperor, the emperor and Kang, who was already crying beside him, agreed. All of this at this moment, by this scene finally the truth was revealed.
Gu San quickly tied the rope in his hand to the doorpost on the side, and then stepped on the stool to quickly tie Lu Yong's hand, and then jumped off the stool and pushed this life-saving step to the feet of Lu Gonggong.
After doing this, she clapped her hands and looked up at the person in front of her who was frightened by the ghost, turned back to the emperor and Kang and said hastily, "Emperor, Niangniang, I have finished this play, whether it is good or bad will be judged by the two of you." ”
Then he didn't forget to move the stool under Lu Yong's feet slightly, and said with a smile, "Grandpa Lu, is this half of the night a good show?" ”
