Chapter 055: Evil Fire
"Cousin, Zhan Xinjia. I take the liberty of writing this letter to you, I want to say a lot, but I feel that there are very few, so I simply make a long story short. An Wen has been serving Jinhua for a long time and is a rare good girl. Now Jinhua has no intention of staying in the palace, and he doesn't know where to go, so he will entrust An Wen to him now, hoping that his cousin will treat him well. Lu Jin picture book. β
The five fingers curled up suddenly, Qin Yi's eyes were sharp, and the momentum around his body skyrocketed.
"Say, where did she go!"
An Wen was angry and angry: "The prince is embarrassed to ask her where she is going?" What qualifications do you have? What does it matter to you whether the young lady is dead or alive? You didn't care if she didn't cherish her at the beginning, so why should you ask the slave now! It's disgusting! β
"Bold!" Zhu Fengchun directly raised his hand and slapped her, "Do you know who you're talking to!" β
An Wen covered her face and sneered: "I know, isn't it just a disgusting man who is ungrateful and throws away Miss's sincerity on the ground and tramples on it!" β
"I don't think you want to live anymore!"
"yes, then you killed me! Anyway, I don't know if I can live if I run out with a body like this! Kill me, I can still accompany Miss on Huangquan Road, so that she and the child will not be lonely! β
Child?!
Qin Yi's face was full of astonishment.
Zhu Fengchun was also surprised, as if he had touched a hot potato, and immediately withdrew his hand.
"What kid? What did you say? β
Seeing that he looked like he heard it for the first time, An Wen smiled even more contemptuously: "The prince is a noble man who forgets things?" What other children could there be? It's my lady and your child! Oh no, the prince said it himself, maybe the child is a wild seed that the young lady has an affair with, since it is a wild seed, you should forget. β
As if being struck by lightning, Qin Yi's heart shrank violently, standing in place, unable to move.
Child...... Child......
Does Nishiki have their baby?
He's going to be a father, is that what he means?
Ha! β¦β¦
The joy that hit his heart made him lose control of his emotions, he immediately laughed, walked up to An Wen in a few steps, and hurriedly confirmed to her: "Xiaojin...... It turns out that Xiaojin is pregnant? This king, this king is going to be a father! β
"Father?" An Wen seemed to hear a very funny joke, and immediately held her stomach and laughed.
When Qin Yi's face was full of impatience, she stood up straight, looked at him and sneered coldly, "What kind of dream does the prince still have?" Where are the children? Miss was in the rain for two hours that day, and you ignored her and let her fall barefoot to the ground, and you still expected this child to be saved? β
ββ¦β¦β
The joy in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows stopped abruptly, and Qin Yi was instantly stunned.
"Kid...... Gone? β
An Wen sneered contemptuously: "Don't you remember yet? At that time, Miss had a miscarriage, a house full of blood, her life was hanging by a thread, and she was in danger, I was worried that Miss would not be able to survive, so I begged Dr. Gu to come and tell you about Miss's miscarriage. After a pause: "What about you, to put it mildly, the kid doesn't know who it is, and if you don't want to care, you will send Dr. Gu away." If it weren't for Dr. Gu's good heart, remembering the kindness of the past, and paying out of his own pocket to save Miss, I'm afraid that Miss would have been buried in the ground! β
"Ridiculous!" Qin Yi's face turned blue, "It's ridiculous! He was so angry that he couldn't say a second sentence.
The authorities were fascinated by bystanders, remembering the night Gu Li came over some time ago, Zhu Fengchun was slightly surprised, and couldn't help but speak: "An Wen, are you mistaken?" How could the prince say such a bastard? And the money for the princess's medical treatment, the prince gave him three thousand taels, and this expenditure is clearly remembered in the account book, but it is not out of his own pocket. β
Xi Li'er is also a bystander, and when she saw Zhu Fengchun open her mouth, she also sighed softly: "This is not right." I was by your side when the doctor came, and I heard him say that the princess was the moon letter! If the princess is pregnant, how can she come to the monthly letter? β
Hearing Xi Lian'er mention this, Zhu Fengchun was even more sure that he was not mistaken, and echoed: "Yes, the prince, the slave also remembers that at that time, Dr. Gu said that the princess was drenched in rain again during the month of the letter, which caused excessive blood loss and needed to be well replenished." β
Qin Yi twisted his eyebrows, what he heard was the same thing, so he held it back and didn't go to visit.
In this way......
Monthly letter, pregnant.
It's really interesting that two completely different statements, but they come from the same mouth.
And that person, it's even more interesting.
Qin Yi suddenly sneered and waved his hand: "Grab Gu Li here." He hurried towards Linping Courtyard.
Zhu Fengchun and Xi Li'er followed.
An Wen was the only one left in the room, and after calming down for a while, An Wen gradually pondered something to come out.
For example, there is no need for Qin Yi to fabricate that he gave Gu Li three thousand taels.
For another example, it is impossible for these three people to collude to insist that Lu Jinhua's blood collapse that day was Yuexin.
So what is the ins and outs of the whole thing, we can only wait for Gu Li to come over and ask clearly.
Linping Courtyard, there was a dead silence.
The original maids and minions were all arrested and questioned, and there was no life except for the dark green grass and trees.
There seemed to be her fragrance still in the air, and it was pungent again, as if it were bloody.
Blood...... Qin Yi slowly curled up his ten fingers.
Regardless of whether she had a monthly letter or a miscarriage, when she was so helpless, he was not by her side, and he didn't even ask her anything, it was a big mistake.
Full of shame, I wanted to find some clues from the house to track down her whereabouts, but as soon as I stepped into the threshold, I saw the jade spike on the table at first sight.
Bloodstained, broken jade spikes.
Qin Yi couldn't believe his eyes, his whole body seemed to be struck by lightning, and he was three feet away.
The object that she once regarded as a treasure and more important than her life was now lying there quietly, a pitiful thing abandoned by her master.
Qin Yi's heart was like a knife, and he trembled his fingers to put the jade spike into his palm.
"Nishiki ......"
For them, the jade spike has long been no ordinary jade ornament.
It has carried too much and witnessed too much.
He knew it, and so did she.
Even when life was at its most difficult, she never had the idea of giving it up, but now, she has given up.
Without a word, without leaving anything about him, he just walked away secretly.
So......
His Xiaojin was disappointed in him after all.
When An Wen arrived, she happened to see Qin Yi holding the baby jade spike that Lu Jin painting was eager to sleep in her arms every night, and she instantly understood what she meant. Just as he was about to open his mouth to ridicule him for two deserved words, the moment he moved his lips, Qin Yi's throat tightened, and a mouthful of blood sprayed directly on the jade spike.
"Lord Wang!"
"Lord Wang!"
Zhu Fengchun and Xi Li'er hurriedly held him up.
The breath in his body was disordered, swimming around like a frightened snake, struggling to collide, internal and external injuries constantly tearing his body apart, but this kind of pain was no match for him now.
With a gloomy face, Qin Yi lowered the corners of his eyes and silently brushed them away, holding the jade spike tightly close to his heart, his body was staggering, and he walked towards the inner bed step by step.
The back is gloomy, desolate and helpless, as if he has aged twenty years in the blink of an eye.
They heard him whisper all the way:
"I lost Nishiki ......"
As he approached the bed, he slowly reached out and stroked the flat satin surface on the bed back and forth, greedily wanting to feel her temperature from above.
But in vain.
The three of them were silent, and they didn't dare to come out.
Seeing that he kept repeating that sentence over and over again, Zhu Fengchun secretly sighed that he had been by his side for so long, and he had never seen him so out of shape even when Empress Zhang died. Afraid that he would have demons, Zhu Fengchun swallowed his saliva and was about to step forward to say a thing or two. Discovering his intentions, Xi Li'er stretched out her hand to stop her and shook her head slightly.
She was ordered to spy on him and not allow him and Lu Jinhua to meet alone again, but it didn't mean that she wanted to cut off all his emotions.
"I won't agree with my father, don't worry," Xi Li'er whispered, "It's okay if Lu Jinhua is gone, she is here, but the prince is stumbling, and it is difficult to achieve great things." β
"But ......" Zhu Fengchun wanted to speak and stopped.
He wanted to say that Lu Jinhua was not there, and I was afraid that the prince would be even more unstable. It's just such a simple and simple truth, how could Xi Li'er not understand? It's just self-deception.
An Wen watched silently for a long time, feeling uncomfortable, and her fingertips pinched deeply into her palms.
She really didn't know that in Lu Jinhua's plan, she was just entrusting her to the Wen family, and then leaving alone.
The body is half better, but it doesn't mean that it is already well. In that state, it's late at night, where can a girl go? What to do if you meet a bad guy? What should I do if I am exhausted?
Miss, where the hell are you now......
In a state of confusion, a few noises suddenly came from outside.
Shiqihuo hurriedly broke into the house, didn't care if there were outsiders, and said anxiously: "Master, the secret guards around the emperor are here, and they have brought fire oil!" β
A trace of cold light flashed across Qin Yi's eyes.
I think that back then, Lu Mansion was also sprinkled with fire oil by the secret guards on such a night, and it was destroyed in an instant.
Now Qin Xie wants to repeat his old tricks?
"The emperor is crazy!" An Wen's voice twisted in fright. Although she did not personally experience the fire three years ago, she was horrified by the devastation and ash everywhere when she returned, as well as the endless smell of choking in the air. At first glance, when she heard that the emperor was going to burn the mansion again, An Wen's lips bumped for a long time, and she said a stupid word: "Why is he?!" β
At this time, the other four people in the house were already thinking about it in their hearts, Xi Li'er was not willing to accompany Qin Yi to be buried here, but Zhu Fengchun was full of ways to get out.
"How many of the Dark Guards are coming?" Qin Yi asked in a deep voice, rubbing the jade spike twice with his thumb and putting it into his arms.
Shiqi: "It's not much, but looking at their formation, they want you to lose your life." β
"Lose your life?" Qin Yiluo was stunned, "Whose life will you pay?" β
Shiqi scratched his head, Mu Ne repeated: "The subordinates heard that they said that it was Doctor Gu who sued the royal court, saying that you have no emperor, regard marriage as child's play, and abuse the princess......" He didn't continue to say the following words.
Qin Yi sneered.
Gu Li, Qin Xie. 1800 Literature
Well, a good game of chess!
No wonder Gu Li dared to lie with the courage to lie, it turned out that there was Qin Xie's backer behind him!
But there is another point that is not clear, Gu Li said that he is just a grass man with superb medical skills, how can he enter the palace at will with such an identity? Where did he get the opportunity to get into Qin Xie's eyes?
"Lord Wang! You need to make a decision quickly! Zhu Fengchun spoke, interrupting Qin Yi's thoughts.
Linping Courtyard is the farthest away from the gate, if Qin Yi wants to escape, he will naturally be able to find a chance to live, but Qin Xie wants to see him buried here, if he really leaves, everyone in the Xianwang Mansion will be even more difficult to escape.
Standing up, Qin Yi brushed the folds on the placket of his flat coat, and his fingers swept over the cold bed in front of him again. Then he retracted his emotions and turned to them, saying, "He must have come, and this king will go to see him, and you are not allowed to come with him." β
Qin Yi expected it to be good, such an important night, of course Qin Xie would come.
Seeing that Qin Yi's expression was a little haggard, Qin Xie's face was full of surprise, and he frowned and said bitterly: "I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place!" β
Qin Yi smiled: "It's just you and me here, the imperial brother might as well be open and honest." β
Retracting the two points of pretentiousness on his face, Qin Xie got up and said happily: "Okay," and walked to his side: "Then I will tell the truth, tonight is the place where you are buried." β
Qin Yi lowered his eyes and said in a light tone: "Yes, I can die." But everyone else in the Xian Wang's Mansion is innocent, and you let them go. β
"Heh, it's hard for you to protect yourself now, and you still want to protect others? What qualifications do you have to negotiate terms with me! β
"Do qualifications matter?" The corners of Qin Yi's lips hooked up a smile, "I never thought that the imperial brother would succeed to the throne for many years, and his brain is still not very useful." β
"You!"
"The reason why you want to kill me is nothing more than to use Xiaojin's departure to make trouble, and in the name of saying that I have no emperor and should be punished. But why did the royal brother forget that Xiaojin is my wife? It's notβ"Deep-eyed," someone else's. β
One word at a time, the words are clear.
The contemptuous and arrogant expression instantly stabbed Qin Xie, and his voice was raised: "Are you looking for death?!" β
Qin Yi automatically skipped his murderous aura and continued: "Just because Xiaojin is just my wife, then it is reasonable for you to take my life, but you can take someone else's life...... What do you think? β
ββ¦β¦β
"Then again, you tried to kill me but you couldn't find a clear reason. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone out of the palace in the middle of the night in disguise, wanting to see me die. After a pause, he shook his head with a smile: "When the day dawns, if my Zhilanzhai is on fire, and you release the news that I abused Xiaojin to death, those who are good at chasing the wind and catching shadows will definitely say that I am a cycle of heavenly principles, and retribution is unhappy." But if the entire Xianwang Mansion is on fire, even if you hire more people to spread rumors in the market, smart people will see the difference. In that case, why don't you just take my life to consolidate the position you have held for five years? β
Qin Xie's brows furrowed.
Qin Yi: "Moreover, the Lu Mansion is on fire and falls, if the Xian Wangfu is tilted due to the fire again, such a coincidence will definitely lead people to infinite reverie, no matter how capable you are, it will be difficult to block the mouths of the people!" β
"Shut up!"
A thin piece of sweat broke out of Qin Xie's back.
This matter should be small rather than big, he admitted that Qin Yi was reasonable, but in the place of Xian Wangfu, his people have been difficult to penetrate for five years, and I don't know how many unspeakable secrets are still hidden in the mansion. If you really let the others go, you will be sowing disaster for the future.
Cut the grass to remove the roots.
Qin Xie's eyes gradually changed, and he smiled pitifully: "The third brother is still as eloquent as ever, but it's a pity that I haven't eaten your set for a long time." Jin Hua has an accident this time, and no one in your house is innocent! In that case, all I need to do is find her body and send it back to the fire, and thenβ"
"What did you say!" Qin Yi suddenly lost his voice, "What did you do to her!" β
Qin Xie turned around quietly, pressed his fingers on the book, and when he found out that it was the "Treatise on the State" that explained the law of governing the country, a touch of disdain floated on the corner of his lips, picked it up and flipped it to the middle, and slowly tore it open.
The grinding hissing sound seemed to have gone through several spring and autumn periods, and when it finally split in half, Qin Xie casually abandoned it and deliberately threw it in front of him.
"What tone is the third brother using to question me? I'm afraid I haven't forgotten my status? Look at your ridiculous appearance trapped in love, tsk, I really can't imagine what kind of black miasma Xiliang will be in your hands! You say, if your father had knowledge, would he have climbed out and choked your neck? β
Qin Yi stared silently at the book at his feet, and after a moment, he squatted down to pick up the broken fragments.
He still remembered the scene when Xiaojin leaned on the side of the bookcase, put his hands on his cheeks, and looked at him obediently. She wanted to talk to him, and it took her a long time to muster up the courage to speak, but he didn't cherish it.
More than that, many times he didn't cherish it. The cold words stabbed her all over her body.
He owed her so much.
I'm afraid that I will never have a chance to repay it in the future.
"Then you can kill me." He said suddenly.
The words were abrupt, and Qin Xie didn't expect it.
His hand hung in the air for a moment before Qin Xie slowly put it down, turned to look at Qin Yi, and said with a smile: "Want to die like this?" β
"Yes."
The corners of Qin Xie's lips gradually rose, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of uncontrollable joy. The candlelight reflected in his eyes was bright and greedy, as if his long-cherished wish had finally come true.
"That's what you said," he swept past Qin Yi, reached out and pressed on his shoulder, and squeezed it hard, "I, fulfill you." β
β¦β¦
The fire in Zhilanzhai burned most of the night.
Fires also broke out in various courtyards, spreading one after another.
Crying, coughing, cries for help...... It's everywhere.
Shiqi, An Wen and Xi Li'er were locked in a room, looking at the gap between the people outside splashing fire oil, Shiqi and Xi Li'er suddenly took action and restrained the three outside. Then they changed into the clothes of the secret guards, and mixed up with the real thing.
Standing on the street and looking back, the fire in the Xianwang Mansion was soaring, and the huge tongue of fire wantonly encroached on the once prosperous, An Wen couldn't help herself and cried.
β¦β¦
Lu Jinhua waits for the boat by the pier.
When she was a child, she read in a book that Hecheng in Jiangnan was an extremely wonderful place, and she was fascinated for a long time. In the past, you can live by embroidery, and if you are lucky enough to make friends with Miss Portal, she can also be a female gentleman, and she will not starve herself after all.
"Hey, have you heard, something big happened in Kyoto last night!" A man took his son by the hand and said to the little brother who sold cakes.
The little brother smiled honestly and said, "Big brother, isn't he making fun of me?" Little brother, I sell cooking cakes by this dock all day long, so I don't care if Kyoto is so far away! I couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong?" β
The man accentuated: "Ho, what's the matter?" It's a big deal! β
"Big deal?"
"Not really," the man squeezed his eyes, "guess what, think to the sky!" β
"The emperor wants to be exempt from taxes?"
"That's not right!"
"Then, the emperor is going to give amnesty to the world?"
"That's not right!"
ββ¦β¦β
The little boy couldn't stand his father's virtue of constantly selling off, and said to the little brother who was still racking his brains to guess: "It's the idle king, the one who used to be the prince, and the house was burned down by fire!" β
"Ahh The little brother was taken aback.
Lu Jin stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
In an instant, the blood seemed to be drained from all over the place, and it was numb from head to toe, and it was so cold that it stiffened.
"You...... You say that the king of leisure is ...... What happened to him? She asked, shuddering.
Seeing that there were still people coming to listen to the excitement, the man was even more interested, and clapped his hands and said, "Hey, what else can happen?" The entire Xianwang Mansion has been burned down! It is said that it was the evil princess who was tossed to death by the idle king, and she was unwilling, and the ghost in the middle of the night asked for her life, and rushed to the idle king's mansion to take revenge with the ghost fire! Eh, don't say it, I remember that in the early years, the princess's family, the Lu family, was also burned by fire. Tut-tut, this is really a cycle of heavenly principles, retribution! β
Lu Jinhua grabbed the man's arm suddenly: "You, you say it again!" Is there really nothing left in the Xianwang Mansion? All of them...... It's all gone? β
"Isn't it! Such a big fire, it's an evil fire, who would dare to save it? Sensing that Lu Jinhua's expression was extremely unnatural, the man was suspicious and looked her up and down, "Girl, why are you so nervous?" You're with the Idle King's Mansionβ"
"I ...... There is an older sister who works as an errand in the Xianwang Mansion. Lu Jinhua barely coped.
As soon as she heard that her relatives were in the Xianwang Mansion, nine times out of ten they were burned out along with the fire last night, and the three adults and children instantly showed sympathy.
The little brother took out two pieces of bread from the basket, wrapped them in oiled paper and handed them to her: "Girl, eat a piece of cake and suppress the shock, alas, you must relax in this natural and man-made disaster!" β
"Yes, your sister used to work in Xianwangfu, and she had a good life, so you have to think of a good place." The man followed suit.
Lu Jinhua reluctantly pulled the corners of his lips and said perfunctorily: "Thank you." Like a wooden man, he walked towards the shore in a daze.
The Xian Wangfu is gone.
All of them died.
Qin ......
The thought of him made my heart twitch and hurt again and again.
She originally planned to slowly forget, but she never thought that God would not give her this opportunity. Although she hated him and hated him, this hatred and disgust were between the two of them, and she could not wish him happiness every day in the future, but she never thought of asking him to die.
Not even a curse.
But now, it's not necessary.
Why is this so? Why?
The right hand unconsciously stroked her lower abdomen, remembering his desperation that day, her heart ached, and she was extremely painful.
Countless intersections, countless choices, turned out to be wrong.
I thought it was made in heaven and earth, and it was the wind and snow in the world, but in the end it was just a ridiculous and terrible fate.
She slowly closed her eyes, and a little crystal drop on her dress gently spread, the edges of the tears were blurred, and her eyes were also blurred.
"Girl, are you going to get on the boat?" The boatman held the basket on the shore and asked impatiently, "It's been a long time since you called you!" β
Lu Jinhua suddenly came back to his senses and looked sideways: "It's not on." β
"Then I won't refund the ticketβ"
The boatman's voice was still behind him, and Lu Jinhua had already run to the horse seller.
Either way, she was going to see him one last time.
Even if it's a long way to give him a ride, it's fine.
