172 There is an anomaly
The new emperor ascended the throne and issued many new policies for the benefit of the people. Win the praise of the people.
It's another bumper harvest for farmers in autumn. The folk even made up nursery rhymes to praise them.
Because of the one-year period of national mourning. A lot of entertainment can't be held. Even the Wuzun competition was suspended for a year because of this. Even the Martial Arts Monastery will not be open this year.
When autumn is getting stronger. Ji Xi began to get busy. He no longer lives in Prince Gong's Mansion. Only at night go to the lily garden and have a small gathering with Shangguan Erya. and hurried away.
Shangguan Erya and Shangguan Le discussed. Send Chun Yan to the countryside for recuperation. Shangguan Le is not against it either.
After all, Shangguan Chunyan is a thorn in his heart. Only out of sight is pure.
Every day, Qingwei rejoiced in the yard and something happened. Shangguan Erya only listened, but never went to see her.
Shangguan Erya saw Qingwei and entered the house with a helpless face. I couldn't help but laugh and said, "What kind of moth did she have today?"
Qingwei pouted. Or those old tricks. She just wants to see the eldest lady."
"I didn't say anything."
"She said she wanted to work with Miss." Qingwei snorted. She's worthy of it, too."
"yes......"
Shangguan Erya got up with a smile. Qingwei was surprised: "Where are you going?"
"Let's take a look at our third young lady."
Qingwei is not clear. But still raise the curtain. With Shangguan Erya went to Qiushuiju.
"Qingwei. I'll just go in by myself."
"Yes."
Qingwei is guarding the door. Shangguan Erya walked into the house alone.
The joy in the house thought it was Qingwei. As a result, when I turned around, I saw Shangguan Erya, who had been looking forward to it every day for the past few months. I was a little stunned for a moment.
"You're not trying to see me. Why didn't I welcome it when I came?" Shangguan Erya smiled and walked to the chair next to him and sat down. I heard you have something to say to me."
"Yes, yes, yes."
The long confinement made Huanxi's whole person lose weight. Even if it's still the face of Shangguan Zhitao. But now he is out of shape. It doesn't look like it anymore.
Huanxi rubbed his hands. She's been talking to herself for months. Now that I finally see Shangguan Erya, I am a little cramped.
"I ...... I...... Thought. If you let me keep doing the peach. I am willing to cooperate with you. Listen to everything."
After speaking. looked at Shangguan Erya with joy and anticipation. With such tempting conditions, she didn't believe that Shangguan Erya didn't agree.
Who knew that Shangguan Erya lightly opened her red lips and said lightly: "Why are you negotiating terms with me."
"I ...... I can lock up Shangguan's Peach now."
"What does it matter to me whether she dies or not. You think I'm going to care."
"So what do you want?" Rejoice and hurry." Is it possible to make me a slave and a slave?"
Shangguan Erya sneered: "I don't lack slaves and maids. What's more, I don't dare to ask for a subordinate like you. Since you don't have anything else. Then I'll go back."
She got up and walked out. Rejoice and see the opportunity slip away. I don't know what Shangguan Erya will be when she sees herself next time. I couldn't help but plop down and knelt down. Kneel down in front of her and kowtow." Please let me go. I'll promise you everything."
People like Huanxi who don't eat hard and soft. She didn't care about cruel means. She is not afraid of death. But he was afraid of himself.
Shangguan Erya saw this and locked her in the house every day. One day and two days...... One month, two months...... It may not matter at first. It's been a long time. Rejoice in the growth of humility in the depths of the heart. Let the fear in her bones shine through. She just couldn't take it anymore.
In fact, Huanxi was frightened by himself. She didn't want to face her face. Don't want to face the past.
Shangguan Erya looked at her coldly. Whispered, "Rejoice. What the hell do you want?"
Joy raised his head. She didn't even know when she was in tears.
She was stunned for a moment. Shangguan Erya said: "I want to listen to the truth."
This is indeed the most testing question for Huanxi.
Long. Joy speaks slowly." Rich. Glory."
"Huh."
Shangguan Erya sneered. Keep going.
She really didn't want to waste any more time.
"Shangguan Erya." I was so angry that I almost bit my tongue." I'm telling the truth."
Shangguan Erya looked sideways." If that's what you really think. All I can say is that you're pathetic."
"Then what do you think I should want?" Huanxi couldn't help but be a little angry." I'm not as rich as you were a child. I don't have a father. I can only rely on my mother...... To sell to have food. I was sold to be a dancer. and became a handmaiden. It's all inferior. I just want to get ahead. So I found the opportunity to give Shangguan Zhitao the flower to control her. But I didn't kill her. I just want to enjoy her riches and glories. If it's you. Can you give up the opportunity to come through the bitter end?"
"If I were you. I'm just going to be myself." Shangguan Erya reprimanded: "I will never pretend to be someone else to survive for a lifetime. Do you think that being the peach of Shangguan will really be able to go smoothly in your life. You think too highly of who she is."
Joy fell silent. Staring at Shangguan Erya with red eyes." What do you want me to do?"
"Be back to your happy identity. Release the peach of Shangguan." Shangguan Erya said indifferently: "Give up the peach of substitution. Wait for her to recover. I'll give you a sum of money to get you going."
She looked at the hesitant joy again. Shangguan Zhitao's life is not as good as you imagined."
Shangguan Erya was not in a hurry to urge Huanxi to make a decision. Walk outside.
Huanxi suddenly shouted: "Why are you helping Shangguan Zhitao. You're not supposed to hate her. She didn't hurt you less."
Shangguan Erya suddenly smiled. You think I'm helping her. I just let her go on her own way. How can she let others suffer her pain?"
I was happy to see the smile on Shangguan Erya's lips. I shuddered inexplicably.
This woman ...... It's scary.
Shangguan Erya never asked herself where Shangguan Zhitao was. Because she really doesn't care.
She gives herself time. It's nothing more than letting her let people out. To all of you.
Shangguan Erya wants Shangguan Zhitao to let her personally taste the bitterness of her life.
Huanxi believes that Shangguan Erya said that if he sends himself away, he will definitely do what he says.
So far...... She had no other way to go.
Huanxi gritted her teeth. Walked into the inner room and knocked on the wooden bed. A rectangular dark grid appears. She scrutinized the face that was exactly like herself......
Just returned to Belle Garden. Qingwei ran back to report." Miss. Huanxi released the third lady."
She didn't say anything when she saw Shangguan Erya. Whisper for instructions." Do you need to get a doctor?"
"No need. I only ordered people to send some ginseng soup to Qiushuiju in the next few days." Shangguan Erya patted Qingwei. These days are all you watching in Qiushuiju. Come back. It's good to let someone else take care of it."
Mama Yang on the side couldn't help but say, "Miss. Do you really believe that Huanxi can obediently leave."
Shangguan Erya raised her eyebrows amusedly. What integrity does she have."
Mama Yang nodded. She doesn't believe in joy either.
Joy is not like the clouds and the peach. Not only can she endure hardship. Also scheming.
This time she was locked up for half a year. Rejoice before compromise.
Huanxi now ostensibly agreed to the eldest lady. It may not be obedient in the future.
Shangguan Erya smiled: "Don't worry, Mama. No matter what she does, it's just that she can't think about it. Now she just needs to release Shangguan's peach. Because Shangguan Zhitao's fate has to let her personally experience the process."
"What the eldest lady said is extremely true. Rejoice against you. She really couldn't think of it herself."
Shangguan Erya smiled. In fact, she was really curious about why the evil doctor suddenly left Huanxi mother and daughter.
And it's been twenty years. I have never regretted it.
Maybe it's that sentence. The poor will have something to hate.
※※※
This year's winter seems to have come earlier than usual.
After the first snowfall. Families are starting to get busy.
Another month. The ban will be lifted as soon as the national mourning period is over. Next is the Chinese New Year. The betrothed families will also begin to open their doors for the wedding feast.
Shangguan Erya was even more busy. But she didn't forget about important people.
"Zihan. What are you doing these days?"
Zihan is sorting out the New Year's greetings for each family. took the time to reply: "The second lady is embroidering every day. Embroidery non-stop."
"That's good."
This is not Shangguan Yunzhu's character.
There are abnormalities in things, and there must be demons.
Shangguan Erya was busy sitting in a rocking chair. Half-squinted eyes and fake sleep.
Before, Shangguan Yunzhu reported to Ji Cangzi Toufeng. She did him so much of a favor. It is impossible for Ji Cangzi not to give her a year.
Shangguan Yunzhu's marriage is coming soon. But she could still sit still. It's really weird.
Shangguan Erya suddenly opened his eyes and said to Zihan: "Go and send a letter to my father. I'm in a hurry with him."
Zihan hurriedly responded. But he didn't get out yet. Mama Yang picked up the curtain and walked in and said, "Miss. The prince sent someone to invite you into the palace."
"Enter the palace."
Shangguan Erya showed a rare look of surprise that was almost strange.
Zihan glanced at Shangguan Erya. I saw her wave her hand. Hurry up and find decent clothes.
It's been a whole year. Shangguan Erya didn't add any new clothes.
This is a bitter Zihan. I picked and chose a big piece that I changed last year.
Shangguan Erya didn't stop Zihan from changing his clothes. He asked, "Who are you going to see?"
"Nope." Mama Yang was also a little depressed." The prince is really unreliable. I don't let people say it clearly."
Shangguan Erya smiled appeasefully. Since my father has invited someone to come. It shouldn't be a bad thing."
Get everything in order. Shangguan Erya sat in the carriage sent by the palace alone.
Shangguan Erya glanced at the palace card on the waist of the little eunuch who picked up the curtain for her. Trembling eyelids. Then without saying a word, he got into the carriage.
Entered the palace gate. Sit in a soft sedan again.
The little eunuch who led the way was silent. Until the door of the study. He whispered. Lord Erya please. The emperor is already waiting for you inside."
Sure enough, it's here.
When Shangguan Erya saw the little eunuch hanging the sign of the imperial study. She guessed that it was the emperor's man.
But the new emperor, who has been on the throne for nearly a year. At this time, she summoned a woman who had not left the cabinet into the palace.
