Chapter 31: The Old Land
Luo Sheng lowered his eyes and listened, his heart was sad and unspeakable.
yes, that's stupid.
That night was very windy, the night was very dark, she was wearing a wedding dress and rushed home desperately, and Wei Qiang, who was wearing a wedding dress, chased behind.
She saw the big red lanterns hanging under the eaves in front of the gate of the Zhennan Palace, and saw the officers and soldiers with sharp blades surrounding the Zhennan Palace.
I only hated that before she saw her father and mother, and before she saw her infant brother, she fell from her horse and fell in front of the leader of the besieged palace.
The pain in the heart after an arrow penetrates is not as good as the endless heartache.
Her newlywed husband killed her in front of her home and could not even allow her to be reunited with her family.
She struggled to crawl forward, and crawled through the hot blood gushing from her body to the stunned expression of the leader of the besieged palace, but she never had a chance to climb through the gate.
She closed her eyes with endless hatred and regret, and then opened her eyes to become Miss Luo.
And Wei Qiang, her childhood sweetheart, her newlywed husband, became the high-ranking prince and the second most noble man in the Great Zhou.
Luo Sheng used all his strength to calm down, and showed a casual smile to the old beggar: "So, the county lord's husband became a widower on the first day of his weddingββ"
The old beggar's face changed suddenly: "Son, don't talk nonsense!" β
For the sake of the silver, the old beggar lowered his voice: "Is the son dedicated to studying and doesn't know what is going on outside, the husband of the county lord is the prince." β
"The current crown prince is actually the husband of the county lord?" Luo Sheng's face was surprised, "But didn't the county lord marry into the Pingnan Palace?" β
As she spoke, she slipped a piece of silver silently.
Money can make ghosts grind, not to mention this kind of thing that people of some age in Nanyang City know, the old beggar collected the money and opened his mouth: "The prince is meritorious, the evidence of the king of Zhennan's treason is found by the prince from the palace of Zhennan." Later, the Heavenly Family wanted to choose a son from the clan as the crown prince, so they chose the prince of Pingnan at that time, which is the current crown prince......"
If you ask people in other places, even people in the capital, I am afraid they don't know much, but Nanyang City is different.
The old beggar was not a beggar from the beginning, but the tragic incident twelve years ago changed not only the Zhennan Palace, but also the fate of many people.
Luo Sheng was silent for a long time, revealing a faint smile: "I see, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really brave and resourceful. β
Asked what he wanted to know, Luo Sheng changed back to his original costume and slowly walked in the direction of the inn with red beans.
"Red beans."
"What's the matter, girl?"
"What kind of person do you think the crown prince is?"
Hongdou glanced around, lowered his voice and said, "The maid doesn't hide any thoughts from the girl." In the past, the maid thought that the prince was really lucky, and he was very kind. β
"And now?"
Hongdou pouted: "Now I think the prince is a scumbag, and the county lord is too pitiful." β
Luo Sheng's eyes flickered, forcing the mist back.
She really likes the girl Red Bean.
"Butβ"
"But what?"
Hongdou bit his lip and lowered his voice: "The prince found the evidence of the king of Zhennan collaborating with the enemy and treason early, and married the county lord into the door as if nothing happened, and after marrying the door, he killed the person neatly, didn't the county lord never notice that this person was ruthless and bad?" β
Luo Sheng said calmly: "Probably she is blind." β
The little maid nodded violently: "It's just blind, but the girl is smart." β
Luo Sheng curled his lips and smiled, laughing beyond his eyes.
Thank God for giving her a chance to be a smart person.
Wei Qiang, you wait.
Luo Sheng and Sheng Saburo met at the inn, and he accompanied him to the roadside to burn paper.
Qingming is approaching, and people who are away from home will not attract attention by burning paper on the side of the road to pay tribute to their deceased relatives.
Waiting for the paper money to burn to ashes, Sheng Saburo looked at Luo Sheng's face and persuaded: "Cousin, let's go back." β
He always felt that the paper money he had just burned was only half of what he bought, but he had no evidence, so he didn't dare to ask.
Ahem, maybe it's an illusion, after all, he hasn't been very good at the science of arithmetic since he was a child.
Luo Sheng stared at the paper money that burned into ashes and turned into gray butterflies, and bowed his head slightly: "Well, go back." β
The night was getting darker, and the crescent moon hung quietly in the treetops, a kind of lonely desertion.
Luo Sheng, dressed in black, walked out of the door and left the inn that had fallen asleep very smoothly.
The streets were empty, and the sound of beating was heard in the distance.
"Three watches, safe and sound-"
The night is really late, especially in such a small city that has been away from the hustle and bustle for a long time.
Luo Sheng ran lightly along the side of the road, and soon came to the dilapidated mansion.
The stone lion in front of the door is still mighty, but it is no longer as glamorous.
She walked around the wall for a while, stopped, took a few steps back, ran up the wall, and landed easily inside.
Luo Sheng steadied himself and looked around.
It was desolate as far as the eye could see.
Half-man-tall lush weeds, trees that shade the sky, and insects that weave into a nocturne.
Luo Sheng walked inward step by step, chilling all over.
Things are not people, but that's it.
Maybe it's a coincidence, maybe it's providence, and tonight, twelve years ago, was the time of that disaster.
This day is the day she leaves the cabinet, and it is also the death day of the whole family and even herself.
Luo Sheng touched the burden he was carrying in the crook of his arm, which contained the burning paper that Sheng Saburo bought.
She can't do much at the moment, and the only thing she can do is burn some paper money for her loved ones and tell them she's still there.
The once crystal clear surface of the lake is covered with dead branches and leaves, and the faint smell of decay goes straight to the end of people's noses.
Luo Sheng stopped in front of an embroidery building by the lake.
It was her boudoir, but there was no need to revisit the old place now.
It carried her most lively youth, and also carried her tension and expectations before leaving the cabinet.
She is the lord of Qingyang County who is high in the eyes of the people of Nanyang City, but in the major event of getting married, she is no different from ordinary girls.
Wei Qiang is the husband chosen by her parents for her, she is not ugly, her temperament is not bad, and she has known her for many years, so she naturally has no reason to object.
At that time, she leaned on the bedside embroidered screen and quietly thought that she and Wei Qiang would be as affectionate as her father and mother in the future.
Who knows that there is no future.
Luo Sheng lowered his eyes and stared at his slender fingers, laughing at himself.
Who knows that the present can talk about the future.
Luo Sheng took one last look at the embroidery building standing on the shore of the decaying lake, and wanted to turn away, but a glance out of the corner of her eye made her freeze on the spot.
After a moment of fright, Luo Sheng immediately dodged and hid behind a tree, touching the dagger in his hand.
It was a dagger encrusted with gems, left by Miss Luo.
Luo Sheng has already tried it, and his hair is like mud, sharp enough.
By the moonlight, her eyes followed the figure closely.
The man covered his head and face, and it was difficult to see the men and women, and he was getting closer and closer to Luo Sheng step by step.
