Eight

Concubine Wen is for the sake of her heirs, Gu Shu doesn't know if this is the hand of the Hubok or the haste of the Yuanguo, or whether there is Shi Yin's impetus behind this. Concubine Wen's temperament is the most manipulative, if Yuanguo gets rid of Shi Yin and supports the infant Ji'er to ascend the throne, then wouldn't Luguo be in the bag?

Shi Yin's intention to hand over the child to her, she understood that at the same time, this matter made Yuanguo angry, under the pretext that Concubine Wen must have been framed by someone for her premature birth, and she died so that she didn't understand, and asked Luguo to give an explanation, this excuse was a bit directed at Gu Shu, after all, there was no one else in this harem. But she Gu Shu is the only one in this harem, and it is not what Shi Yin wants to see, she guesses that it won't be long before Yuanguo will marry a princess, and this harem will only become more and more lively.

She can't see the end of the days, day after day, she is a little tired, she thinks about the master, she thinks about the days in the Ji Mansion in the past, in her heart, where the master is there, that is home. She felt lonely all these years, and this feeling would come like a tide in the dead of night, and for so many years she was alone, like wandering in the vast sea, trembling, unable to touch the shore.

But this Luguo Palace is not a no-man's land, if she can go, she will leave early in the morning, maybe one day she can stand up and save Shi Yin's life, and then ask Shi Yin to let her leave the palace.

——

"This Kyushu is vast, hundreds of countries are numerous, after a hundred years of war, all the countries are greatly injured, so they have to be in peace for more than a year, if they are restored to their origins, they will all watch and move......"

She leaned on the window and looked out, there was no business in the teahouse, and the storyteller today was a man in a gray robe, who spoke in a low voice, but her ears were almost calloused when she heard it. So she still remembers that it was rainy in the south of the Yangtze River when the plums were yellow outside the window, and the eaves after the beginning of the sun were often hung with rainwater, which was broken on the bluestone slabs and merged into slender streams in the cracks, all of which became passers-by of the boaters.

Suddenly, the surroundings became fragmented, and transformed into unforgettable layers.

She was tied to the bed, her clothes in tatters, and her forehead was covered with dried blood. The door was opened, and a brightly dressed woman only stood at the door, smiling and instructing the little girl at the door, "Aunt Jin said that she was still restless after entering Liuhong Mansion for so long, and she fled several times, so that she would never have children and cut off the way back, so that she could stay with peace of mind." ”

"If you don't drink it, it's her life!"

Then several hands touched, and one of them forcibly strangled her cheek, forcing her to open her mouth, and the bitter decoction poured in, and the smell was frighteningly familiar.

Suddenly, Gu Shu was awakened by a dream.

She gasped slightly, looked at the top of the bed with wide eyes, and was still at a loss in her heart, so she lifted the thin quilt with her hand, picked up the tent veil, and got out of bed to see the moonlight outside the window, the wind and the cicadas. Rubbing your temples and sighing what happened lately, always dreaming about the past?

Suddenly, she seemed to hear something, and hurriedly ran to the palace gate, lying on the Zhu gate to listen to the movement, and it took a long time to be sure that she really heard the faint sound of weapons intersecting.

She has not heard from the outside for a long time, as if she is isolated from the world, which is a little strange, at this time, there is a sound of soldiers, and she is panicked, and she understands a little, this is Shi Yin deliberately hiding from her, but what is this for?

As soon as the palace door opened, the guards who were confined and guarded on weekdays were gone, and the Changzhong Palace was remote, looking at the main hall in the distance, there was a fire, and the palace maids and eunuchs in front of them fled in panic with their burdens.

Gu looked at the fire in the distance, casually stopped the eunuch and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The eunuch pushed her away and shouted, "Don't get in the way, the royal city has been breached, don't run away quickly!" ”

She was a little surprised at how this world had become so fast, and suddenly evoked a wicked smile, isn't this just the opportunity in front of her.

After a while, she quickly turned around and entered the Changzhong Palace, packed up some of the most valuable small things on weekdays, some broken silver tickets, and a few clothes, and took advantage of the chaos to leave this place of right and wrong.

She took advantage of the night to follow the fleeing palace people all the way, and the brick-red palace wall was dug out of a small hole that could barely drill through people, and she thought that it would be so simple to escape for two years.

Separated by a wall, I looked up and saw the city of the king under the cover of carbon black, half of the houses were burned to ruins by the fire, and the city was full of screams and weeping.

The palace people beside Gu Shu also lowered their heads and were worried, this battle is to return home and don't know where the home is, Gu Shu is a little shaken, this war has started, and the people who are not restless are the people.

She still has a trace of worry in her heart, this Lu country is a small boat that is crumbling in the wind and rain, he is unyielding, the already difficult road is getting narrower and narrower, and now the ship capsizes, where will he go, will he be martyred in the Jinluan Palace?

Gu Shu grabbed the burden on his shoulders, lowered his head and hurried away, and fled out of the city with the crowd. I didn't walk a few steps, as if someone came running, shouting that I couldn't get out of the city gate, and some enemy soldiers guarded and said that I would rather kill by mistake than let one go, which caused an uproar, and everyone refused to believe it, and some insisted on going to the city gate to have a look, thinking that there were many people, maybe they could gamble.

Gu Shu knew that Shi Yin's dormitory in the palace had a secret passage leading to the outside of the city, and returning to the palace at this time was a sheep into the tiger's mouth, but if the enemy army in the city won tomorrow, he would reward the soldiers, burn and loot, and rob the people's daughters, and the city would be hell.

She resolutely turned back to the palace, and for some reason her heart suddenly felt much more relaxed.

The closer this road is to the main hall, the more corpses are everywhere, all of them are hideous and unsightly, Gu Shu said that she is not afraid of fake, but what she is afraid of is not dead people, but such a dark night.

was walking, but unexpectedly, not far away, there was a figure hidden in the night, he was holding his arms against the wall, carrying a sword behind him, and said, "Niangniang, my master is invited." ”

Gu Shu was startled, and when she heard the sound, the man was wearing a night coat, approaching Gu Shu step by step, she was a little stunned, as if she had seen Yu Fu again, but unfortunately the person in front of her was not him.

"Who is your master?" Gu Shu looked at him vigilantly and slowly retreated.

The man in black had already arrived at Gu Shu's side in a blink of an eye, and the knife fell together, and he slashed at the back of his neck: "Niangniang, you don't need to ask more, you will know." ”

On the other side, the horses' hooves were hurrying, a carriage galloped by, and the army behind them rode in the dust. Shi Yin and his entourage escaped from the defeat in the palace, and they had to go all the way south to Lincheng to meet Wang Shi Xu.

In the bumpy carriage, Shi Yin held his forehead with one hand and closed his eyes to recuperate, his blood was hard to cool, he was defeated tonight, how to go from now on, and ...... Is that little conscienceless person safe?

Sitting next to Shi Yin was General Xu, who did not forget Ji'er when he left. But now the baby in his arms is crying non-stop, probably the child also feels uneasy, General Xu can't coax him, so he has to look at the opposite side of Lu Wang Shiyin frequently.

When he saw the prince in his arms, he wept hoarsely, and he couldn't bear it. Finally, he spoke: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, the minister is rude and won't take care of the baby, and when His Royal Highness cries for a long time, you see ......"

Shi Yin opened his eyes when he heard this, rubbed his temples lightly with his hand, hugged Ji'er and patted it, and ordered: "Wait until dawn to find a nurse." ”

Ji'er was still crying in his father's arms, General Xu regretted it endlessly, the army of the Yuan Kingdom had been overwhelming since the declaration of war on the Lu Kingdom, and it was even more arrogant to attack the royal capital at night, and the King of Lu led the troops to fight against the enemy, and was forced to withdraw the troops until the second half of the night.
