Chapter 68: Zhenruo
Gu San has always disliked the character of asking for trouble for herself, and in the past, if there was any "master and servant", she would have left it behind. But in the end, this is still the body of others, the fate of others.
Every time she woke up as someone else, she still felt a little indebted after all. Even after talking to Murong Yuhua, he knew that everything was just a fragment of the data world, but Gu San still treated them as real people very sincerely.
At least their emotions are real, their lives, their struggles, all their loves and hates are real. Just like every time she wakes up, she has to do the same for the life she gets, whether it is for Lan Zixi to find the culprit who made her commit suicide, or for Zhou Hui'er to kill the person who deprived her of her freedom, when she woke up as Rouyin, she was also ready to fulfill her last wish for Rouyin.
If it weren't for that, she wouldn't have stayed here forever, and she wouldn't have been by Kang's side when she saw someone in the Imperial Garden trying to mistreat her.
But Rouyin is still dead in the end, and Gu San will still tell this matter after all, and he will never hide it. She has always been 100% sure of her existence, and although she is awakening as another person, she has never thought of surviving as another person.
Bixi listened to Gu San's words, and tears were already flowing at the moment, "The soft voice is still small...... I thought, I thought she was really okay. It turns out that from beginning to end, you are not a soft sound...... I said why do you always like to make me angry, but that's not the case. ”
Although Xiao Chengzi didn't cry, he hung his head very depressed and sighed. Gu San looked at the three of them like this, stood aside and was silent, waiting for them to clean up their moods and wipe away their tears before continuing, "I have some habits that are not quite consistent with your here, but I am not the one who will take revenge, since this life was given to me by Miss Rouyin, what person does she have to protect, now I will protect it." Since she wants to keep your promise, I have also abided by this article these days and completed the task for her. ”
"Your name is ...... Gu San? ”
Gu San nodded at Kang in agreement.
Kang promised to look at her, seeing that she had become much taller and stronger since she woke up, and after looking at her, he asked, "That's why you suddenly made a move in the imperial garden yesterday?" Aren't you afraid that Fan will promise to attack you and make you suffer when the time comes? ”
"At that time, since you opened your mouth, I have nothing to worry about. I'm not as good at speaking as you are, but it's still clear who has the upper hand. ”
"So...... Do you mean by this that you are willing to recognize me as your master? ”
Kang promised to ask so cautiously, but Gu San replied to her bluntly, "I don't treat anyone as a master, only as a friend." ”
As soon as Bixi heard this, he was about to attack again, "You are so bold, how dare you talk to the little master like this?" ”
However, Kang promised not to raise his hand and stopped her in a hurry, "Bixi, yesterday's incident is thanks to her help, otherwise you and I alone will be weak, I am afraid that I will really be humiliated by Fan Promise." ”
Bixi heard that this was indeed the case, so he obediently retreated behind Kang Promise. Kang promised to look at Gu San and continued to ask, "If Gu San is not a person in the palace, she is naturally not bound by the rules of the palace. Friends or masters, I can accept it. But can the girl tell me what you did when you were alive and why you died? ”
Seeing her ask about this, Gu San also answered them one by one, saying that he had fought in the past and was responsible for killing. But if you don't talk about zombies, in a place like this where you haven't heard of such a thing, even if you do, others will just think it's nonsense. Kang promised to hear that Gu San would kill people, and his expression turned a little pale, but in the end, he still had some courage in his body, and he never showed his timidity. She listened to Gu San's answer, and asked cautiously, "That...... Gu San girl, have you checked the cause of death of others? Who is the real murderer? ”
"What do you say? When it comes to investigating the cause of death, most of them can be identified at a glance and do not need to be investigated. "After all, zombies don't have any brains, they bite people when they catch them, and they die if they bite a few more bites. After this person dies, who do you really want to seek revenge, see that the zombie is an enemy, and when you see it, you will shoot it.
Kang agreed, clutching the handkerchief in his hand, looking at it a little nervous, "But no matter what, you have the courage and are not afraid of other people's threats, right?" ”
"Since I said that I would kill people, I naturally still have the courage to do so."
"Then what if I want to ask you to help me find out the cause of death?" Kang's promised eyes gradually brightened, "I don't need you to do anything more for me in this courtyard, as long as you are willing to find out the cause of death in the palace for me, no matter what kind of requests you have in the future, I will try to meet you." ”
Gu San asked, "Do you want to find out the truth and avenge this person?" ”
Kang lowered his eyebrows and shook his head, "I can't do this alone, and I may not be able to do it." It's just that if I can find out, at least I can give myself and her an explanation. ”
"Whose cause of death are you going to investigate?"
"My personal maidservant, Zhenruo."
When Kang agreed to say this, his hands trembled slightly. She seemed to have been waiting for this day for a long time.
"Ever since Jane's death, I've dreamed of the last time she saw me. She wore an azure dress that day, and she had the same enamel bracelet I gave her on her hand. I said that the weather was hot, and she was afraid that Hua'er would be stuffy with the heat, so she took the initiative to go to the warehouse and ask for some more ice. But she went...... He never came back. ”
At that time, it was hot in the Qingyin Pavilion, and the people in the room were groggy when they were sitting, Zhenruo went to the warehouse with the basket, and joked with Bixi before leaving. But after she stepped out of Qingyin Pavilion at noon, she didn't come back for most of the day. Xiao Chengzi was sent by the mother to find her, first went to the treasury, the treasury said that she didn't see Miss Zhenruo today, and went to the imperial dining room and other places where Miss Zhenruo often went, but there was still no news.
In the end, Xiao Chengzi still found something wrong when he came back along the road of the Qingyin Pavilion in the treasury, saying that something had happened to the lotus pond in the imperial garden, and a palace maid drowned in it.
At that time, when the news came to the Qingyin Pavilion, Concubine Kang, who had not yet been demoted, was sitting with Bixi embroidering on the small side, and when Xiao Chengzi walked in with a wrong expression, she was a little panicked, and when she heard the news of Zhenruo's death, a needle in her hand was directly pierced in her hand.
When Zhenruo died, no one around her saw it. In the end, the guards found out that Zhenruo seemed to be standing by the lotus pond looking at the lotus flowers, and as a result, her feet slipped and fell into the pond. Xu didn't know the water, so he drowned.
Others felt that this reason seemed to be good, but Concubine Kang felt that something was wrong. Before Concubine Kang entered the palace, she was originally from the southern water town, although she stayed in the boudoir since she was a child and never went out, but the two personal maids Bixi and Zhenruo around her grew up by the sea, how could they not know water?
Bixi also seemed to be aware of this, and when she heard someone talk about it, it was like a rebuttal, but she was pulled down by Concubine Kang. When the men were gone, they closed the door, thinking that they could not understand it, because the water in the pond of the Imperial Garden was not deep, and this kind of viewing pool was at most up to the waist of a person. Even if someone who doesn't know how to water falls, nothing will happen.
Not to mention a girl like Zhenruo who has been crawling in the water since she was a child. The only possibility is that Jane is being hurt - but she's just out asking for an ice cube, so who would want to hurt her?
It's a pity that before Concubine Kang called someone to find out about the matter, the matter of Concubine Shu happened.
She took the third princess to the imperial garden, ostensibly saying that she was flying a kite, but in fact she just wanted to see the place where Zhenruo fell into the water. However, before Concubine Kang could investigate carefully, Concubine Shu came, and then ...... It's a ten-month lockdown.
After ten months, the servants were dismissed, leaving only Bixi, Rouyin and Xiaochengzi by their side, and their positions were demoted, and no one could leave Qingyin Pavilion for half a step......
"These things happened so quickly that I really can't let go of the cause of Zhenruo's death now. If she really drowned accidentally, I wouldn't hold on to it, but the problem is that she isn't! Kang promised to tell Gu San about the past one by one, holding the handkerchief, his fingers twisted together, "I know that Zhenruo did not die because of an accident, and I understand more clearly that there must be a problem in this." It's just that I didn't dare to open my mouth at that time, for fear that before I found out, I would question and control others, and others would say that I was slandering...... Who would have thought that it would come back like this later? ”
Gu San said, "You also said, this was the matter at that time, and now ten months have passed, even if Zhenruo left a clue in the water at that time, after such a long time, I am afraid that nothing has been left." ”
"What if you find the person who did it at that time?"
"Do you know who did it?"
Kang promised with a wry smile: "Do you still need to ask about this matter?" I had already guessed that it was the fear of her power that kept her mouth shut. It is because of her that I am now in the field where I am today. ”
Gu San is also a clear-eyed person, she has been here for so long, and she is also clear about what happened to Kang Promise, and when she heard her say this, she immediately replied, "Do you think, it's Concubine Shu?" ”
"Who else but her? Now that I think about it, she was also suspicious about her miscarriage at the beginning, but she was afraid that Zhenruo heard something that she shouldn't hear on the way to the warehouse that day, or saw something she shouldn't see, so she suffered such a flying disaster. Then Concubine Shu was afraid that I would find out about it, so she was unstable and deliberately pulled me into the water again. ”
"Wait." Gu San frowned, "Listening to what you say, do you think Concubine Shu deliberately used her own miscarriage to cause you to be grounded?" But how can she be sure that she will have a miscarriage? Besides, I see that you are in the palace, and it is more comfortable to have a child than not to have one, how can she do such a thankless job? ”
"But what if her fetus didn't exist from beginning to end?" Kang promised with a grim expression, "What if she didn't conceive a child at all from the beginning?" ”
