Chapter 30: The Emperor's Nightmare.
Gongsun Nian left happily.
In the evening, the afterglow was shining golden in the courtyard, and the girl's pink skirt fluttered in the wind, and the vivid and joyful vitality was vigorous.
Rejoice alone with love for someone.
Yun Geci looked at it, and his eyes were a little astringent before he withdrew his gaze.
After half a ring, Qingwu came in with dinner, and saw the letter on the table, she read according to the words on the envelope: "Buddha Leng personally opened." ”
She asked Yun Geci in surprise: "Miss, is this Miss Gongsun's?" ”
"Hmm." Yun Ge replied with a heavy heart.
"I really can't understand why she is a princess, and now she is a nobleman, why she will never forget a monk." Qingwu muttered and sandwiched a shrimp into the Yun Geci bowl.
Yun Geci couldn't eat after only a few bites: "I'm full." ”
"Miss, you're just eating so little." Qingwu looked at the meal that barely moved, and frowned.
She was so thoughtful that she couldn't eat, so she took the handkerchief handed by Lu Xing and wiped her fingers, stared at the letter, and said to Lu Xing: "Before entering the palace, didn't my father tell you the way to deliver the letter outside the palace?" You take pen and ink, and I'll write a letter to my father. ”
Lu Xing hurriedly took pen and ink for Yun Geci, and waited for Yun Geci to finish writing the letter and put it up.
"You hand these two letters, and when my father sees my letter, he will have people pass the letter to the temple." Yun Geci handed both letters to Lu Xing.
Lu Xing took the letter and said puzzledly: "Miss, why do you still want to help you when you embarrass you like that before?" ”
"Why are you so unscrupulous, little hoof?" Qingwu angrily poked Lu Xing's head with her finger and nodded at her: "Miss has a handle in Gongsun Nian, it is a good thing for Miss to help her, and we don't have much effort." ”
Lu Xing didn't know what Qingwu was talking about, but she didn't dare to ask, so she trotted out with the letter in her hands.
The palace guards have Feng Qingmian, and the letter will be sent out tomorrow morning at the latest.
The lights in the room were dim, and Yun Geci was sitting on the soft couch with his eyebrows unfurled, thinking about something.
Qingwu felt that she was weird, and asked more: "Miss, why does the slave think that you are preoccupied, did you think that the nobleman said something to you?" ”
She didn't know that Feng Hongshu and Fo Leng came out on the Yan Ge Stage, but what Gongsun Nian said when she entered the palace was vivid, and she believed that what Gongsun Nian said was true.
In the past few days, she has not been able to open her mouth to ask Yun Geci, and she has been holding it in her heart.
"Qingwu, I always feel like something is going to happen."
Gongsun Nian's matter was like a fuse, which ignited the uneasiness in Yun Geci's heart at once.
Her sixth sense told her that something must have happened.
That kind of uneasiness is not because of Gongsun Nian, but because of himself.
"What can you do, miss, don't think nonsense, have a good rest, and you have to learn the palace rules and etiquette tomorrow." Qingwu didn't care, tidied up the futon for Yun Geci, and lit the sleeping incense in the incense burner.
Yun Geci has a shallow sleep, and usually needs sleeping incense to help him sleep, otherwise he won't be able to sleep well all night.
"It's still early." Yun Geci flipped through the scroll by the lamp.
After a while, I heard a burst of footsteps, looked up, and saw a group of eunuchs and palace maids moving things back and forth outside the courtyard.
It looks like it's moving something from Gongsun Nian.
Qingwu closed the door and complained in a low voice: "Even if you seal the nobles, you don't have to move to Lanfang Hall at night." ”
Yun Geci didn't speak, lowered his head and read the book carefully.
After Qingwu urged several times, she was too annoyed to put down the book and rest.
I don't know how long I slept, but I had a nightmare in a vague way, dreaming that Xiao Lisheng was dressed in thick black and stood condescendingly in front of her bed.
He hid in the darkness, a pair of wolf-like eyes staring at him coldly, and the sword in his hand pointed directly at her heart.
She sat up trembling and frightened, the room was drowsy, Qingwu and Lu Xing were wrapped in a quilt and fell asleep on the floor beside the bed, and the sound of breathing sounded softly in the night.
There was no silence.
I don't know when the screen window was half-opened, it was raining, the cold wind poured in, and the sweat on her back was cold to the bone.
She got up lightly to close the window, and a flash of lightning suddenly lit up the sky, and thunder rolled in.
In the midst of this thunder, she seemed to hear a terrified scream, which came into her ears from afar, and it was very strange in the night of thunder and lightning.
Her heart shuddered.
There are many tricks in the harem, and she must know something that others don't know before she can strategize.
Thinking of this, she took her coat from the hanger and put it on, opened the door and hurried out.
The rain was falling heavily, making countless splashes on the ground, and she crept around the corridor along the place where the voice had come from.
Chuxiu Palace is close to the Imperial Garden, bypassing the promenade and passing the arch, you can get there.
The voice just now came from the Imperial Garden.
Walking along the gallery, there was a bluestone road in front of her in the shadow of trees, and she had no umbrella with her, so she had to walk through it in the rain.
The rain was cold and cold on her body, and her heart tightened, and she slowly approached the imperial garden with light steps.
Get ready to find out.
Before she could reach the Flower Arch, a figure suddenly ran through the darkness.
The lightning lit up the sky, and she could see the people who were coming.
It was a woman in her early twenties, with her hair disheveled, her clothes disheveled, soaking wet, barefoot on a rainy day, and her skirt covered in mud.
She ran desperately, and fear consumed her like a demon chasing her.
Yun Geci just wanted to hide sideways in the woods next to her, but the woman found her at this time, and a hoarse and desperate voice came out of her mouth: "Help...... Save me. ”
She pounced towards Yun Geci, stumbling under her feet, and Yun Geci hurriedly reached out to support her.
I just told her that she shouldn't care about it.
However, she could somewhat judge that this woman was most likely a concubine.
Something related to Xiao Lisheng, she is always eager to explore, maybe she can get a glimpse of the emperor's current state of mind.
Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles.
The woman who pounced on her was embarrassed, trembling violently, and her face was bloodless in the white light of lightning.
His hand was holding Yun Geci's hand stiffly, like grasping a life-saving straw.
In confusion, he said, "The emperor...... The emperor is crazy...... He killed everyone. ”
Xiao Lisheng.
Yun Geci was cold, and asked in a low voice, "What did you say?" What did the emperor kill everyone? ”
"Pear Hall...... They're all dead. The woman's eyes widened in horror, and the fear of death confused her mind, and she kept murmuring, "All dead, all dead...... The emperor killed them all. ”
In the long night of the cold and strange deep palace, Yun Geci only felt that the coldness had penetrated deep into his bones a little bit.
She didn't even know that the woman's nails were digging into her flesh.
She asked in a dumb voice, "Why did the emperor kill them?" ”
"Giggle." The woman suddenly laughed gloomily, and said like crazy: "The emperor is crazy, he has been shouting the name of Princess Yun Geci in his dreams, and he keeps saying that he killed Princess Yun Geci, and when he woke up, he went crazy, and he killed people everywhere with a sword, and he wanted to kill me." ”
