() I asked, "Why does the king of Yunnan want to help Aunt Jinyue take care of the Red Moon Palace?" "I wanted to ask: What is the relationship between Aunt Jinyue and the King of Yunnan?

But after all, I couldn't ask.

Aunt Jinyue's eyes dodged, and she said vaguely: "I met in the early years, and it doesn't matter much. "Obviously hiding something on purpose.

Half implicit, half exposed, only because it was broken that day, I hid a little bit of clarity in my heart, so I didn't believe it at all.

I frowned, didn't continue to ask, changed the conversation, and said in an anxious tone: "Aunt Jinyue still doesn't understand?" My aunt figured it out, because Aunt Jinyue left this place early and didn't suffer from the poison, but the others are different, they have become dead soldiers who only know how to serve under the training day after day, and letting them go is equivalent to letting the tiger return to the mountain, do you still have to sit back and wait for them to reorganize and make a comeback? My nose was sour, not sad, but angry, "Besides, they did something wrong, and if they did something wrong, they should suffer all the consequences they should have suffered." ”

Under the corner of the green bamboo corridor, the shadow of Danxia yarn reflects a newly opened dragon sand gem in the courtyard. The rain and mist were thin and long, entangled and even the scene in front of me was hazy, spread on the wooden frame of the eaves, ethereal on the plantain in the atrium, and the branches of the flowers were still blooming with pink flowers, and the color was mild.

Aunt Jinyue's eyes were complaining, but she didn't know what to say, but she said softly: "Then the second lady is unwilling to help the slave?" ”

I looked at the wrinkles at the corners of Aunt Jinyue's eyes like cracked brocades, and asked, "Does Aunt Jinyue want Your Majesty to be healthy?" ”

"Yes."

Answer a word without hesitation, neatly and crisply.

"So Aunt Jinyue wants the world to be chaotic and the people have nowhere to go?"

I asked again.

Aunt Jinyue shook her head, "Naturally I don't want to." ”

My expression became more relaxed, "Then Aunt Jinyue must and should give up the lives of these wicked people in exchange for the lives of more people in the world." ”

Aunt Jinyue had nothing to say, and the pain in her heart was revealed through her eyes. I saw it, but there was no way.

I asked, "Aunt Jinyue, have you heard the story of letting the tiger return to the mountain?" "I privately hope that this story will comfort Aunt Jinyue a little.

Aunt Jinyue looked at me quietly and said, "No." ”

I thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "This story was told to me by my mother." "When I recall my mother, I will unconsciously outline a peaceful and beautiful smile on my face. My mother is such a beautiful woman, her temperament is so gentle, I will always remember the scene of her standing proudly on the snowy ground in a white coat, and the world is so independent that it seems that she never belongs to the world, maybe she does not belong to the world, she is a fairy in the sky, and she is the bright moonlight in the night sky.

I took a deep breath, smiled and whispered: "Once upon a time there was a ferocious tiger, when he saw a man, he pounced, and killed when he saw a beast, whether it was a creature in the deep mountain forest, or the villagers in the village at the foot of the mountain, it was difficult to avoid the tiger's claws, until one day, the tiger was finally caught by the trap laid by the villagers, and the kind villagers hesitated between killing it and letting it go, and it was the moment of hesitation, the tiger broke free from the cage. Soon after, both the creatures in the mountains and the villagers at the foot of the mountain were eaten by the tiger, and there were no bones left. So, what is the real good, what is the real salvation, you let go of a tiger, you feel that you have indeed spared a living being, saved a life, but you don't know that it is the creature you let go that has killed more living beings, and it is because of your salvation that more lives have been harmed. ”

Aunt Jinyue said: "The slave maid knows, and the slave maid also understands the meaning of the second miss, but in the heart of the slave maid, the people in the Red Moon Palace are always guilty, if I can come back early and disband early, maybe they will not be like today." ”

I comforted: "Aunt Jinyue doesn't have to blame herself too much, the fault is not yours, this is their own choice, for others, the path they choose, they should go through it by themselves, no matter what the final consequences are." Aunt Jinyue was far away in the sky, how could she know that the Red Moon Palace, which had almost disappeared in the rivers and lakes, still had such a powerful killing machine, and there was no way to know, how could she want to go back to Yaqi City to have a look. Aunt Jinyue's only mistake was that she shouldn't have entered the Red Moon Palace at all from the beginning. ”

Aunt Jinyue smiled bitterly, "Second Miss, you are still young, many things in the world are not right or wrong at all, if it weren't for the Red Moon Palace to save the slave maid, the slave wouldn't have survived now." ”

I said, "So what? ”

Aunt Jinyue looked at me with a look of uncertainty in her eyes, "So what?" With a deep sigh, she continued: "The ancestor of the Red Moon Palace saved the slave maid from fire and water, and the slave maid was born as a human being, living in the world, and repaying herself. ”

I chuckled lightly and said, "Just because the Palace Master of the Red Moon Palace saved my aunt's life, does my aunt have to repay me in this way?" Is Aunt Jinyue going to kill other innocent people instead of the one who saved you? "There are thousands of ways to repay kindness in the world, which one, the person who saved Aunt Jinyue clearly wanted to take advantage of her and kidnap her.

Aunt Jinyue frowned, and two deep lines were squeezed out of the center of her eyebrows, "Second Miss, you don't know the inside story, if you say that the people in the Red Moon Palace are not innocent, then Your Majesty is not innocent either." ”

I said calmly: "Then ask Aunt Jinyue to tell me the inside story, so that I can make a judgment." ”

Aunt Jinyue said: "The slave can only tell the second lady that everyone in the Red Moon Palace is an orphan of the previous dynasty, a war, displacement, and family members were killed, and Yuanzong did not show mercy at that time. Is it wrong that the slave just wants to save these people? ”

I sighed slowly, leaning softly on the duck feather brocade cushion, although I felt pity for these orphans, but I also understood that I couldn't cover up the wrong things they had done now because of the pity of my life. They are human beings, living people, able to think, able to choose, and they could have chosen other paths, but unfortunately, they have all chosen the most wrong and cruel path, when is the time for retribution.

I said, "Aunt Jinyue, it's not wrong that you want to save these people, but what did Your Majesty do wrong?" What did the princess do wrong again? ”

I looked left and right, and saw a quiet scene that can only be found in a peaceful and prosperous world—

The courtyard is deep and the apricot blossoms are slightly raining.

"Your Majesty is a Ming Jun, the world is governed in an orderly manner, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, but it is precisely those people in the Red Moon Palace who want to hurt such a Ming Jun, isn't it wrong?"

I said slowly, "Besides, wars are inherently bloodshed and deaths, and I just want to ask them if they know why their dynasty is going to perish?" ”

Aunt Jinyue stared at me quietly, silent.

I added: "The emperor of the previous dynasty was mediocre and naturally changed the dynasty, which is a matter of course. As for Your Majesty. Taking 10,000 steps back, even if someone is sorry for these orphans, it was also a matter of Yuanzong's time. A hundred years have passed, why bother to entangle more, it is not what Your Majesty did, and it is not the person Your Majesty killed, why do you want to take revenge on Your Majesty and the princess everywhere, isn't it very unfair? ”

Aunt Jinyue whispered, "Second Miss, how can you talk like this? ”

I hurriedly said, "Am I not right?" ”

Aunt Jinyue nodded, and shook her head again, "The slave doesn't know what to say, the second miss stands in the position of His Majesty, of course she thinks so, has the second miss thought about it from the position of the Red Moon Palace?" ”

I smiled faintly and said, "I didn't stand on His Majesty's position, but Aunt Jinyue stood on the position of Hongyue Palace," my eyes swept lightly, "I only know that Your Majesty is Mingjun, and there is his holy judgment, and now the world is peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, but the king of Yunnan is about to move, and Hongyue Palace has repeatedly provoked. Aunt Jinyue has been by the side of the Empress Dowager Zhuang Wen for so many years, and she has also watched Her Majesty and the princess grow up, Your Majesty's wisdom, the kindness of the princess, Aunt Jinyue must be very clear, and I don't need to say anything. ”

Aunt Jinyue said in a low voice, "But they also have difficulties. ”

I shook my head and said, "That's not bitterness, it's obsession, you should be punished if you do something wrong, and having hardship can't be a price or excuse for wantonly hurting others." In life, who does not have suffering? In the end, you still have to be kind and let go of hatred before you can be a person. ”

Outside the window, the rain rustled. A plantain, a leaf.
