Chapter 738: Death Knell in the Night

After a few years of study, there are still places where the playing can not be lyrical, although Lan Ting said that he was not punished, he did not only care about flattery, and when Chungui finished playing a song, he chose a small section to demonstrate in person, guiding and correcting mistakes. "The effect seems to be better than that of my second uncle and grandmother.

The night is dark.

The smoke in the bedroom on the second floor has dissipated, only the fragrance is sinking and floating, and the wind lamp in front of the bed and the moonlight in the window make this room not dim.

The water green thin silk tent is depicted and embroidered.

The tent seemed to fall with the man's wave of his hand.

The light middle coat, a convex mark of the beauty's bones, but the beauty stretched out her fist regardless of her manners and slapped her waist, her two forearms were stuffed into a thin quilt as soon as they were exposed, her long hair wrapped her cheeks, and her eyelashes half-blocked her eyes: "Sleepy, sleepy, why are you so sleepy tonight?" Sure enough, learning is a hard work, and I feel sorry for the uncle, who used to study hard in the cold window, and now he has finally achieved positive results, and the long night is suitable for sleep, so he will sleep first. ”

But he didn't close his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were still snickering.

Lan Ting wanted to scrape the bridge of her nose, but she took her hand back halfway, leaned down and simply bit the tip of her nose.

"I haven't rewarded yet, what are you pretending to sleep? The next time I change my trick to ask for a reward, I'm a fool and I can't be fooled with this trick. ”

The bite didn't hurt, but it was a little itchy, and it was so stimulating that the spring return was immediately "peaceful", so his hand stretched out from the thin quilt again, and when he lifted it, his forearm was exposed, hooked Lan Ting's neck, and leaned up to his cheek: "Don't please, I got the uncle's advice, I should have rewarded the uncle." ”

The fragrant kiss is offered, lingering for a long time.

Later, I was really tired and took a step to sleep first.

When the breathing of the woman in his arms gradually calmed down, Lan Ting's sleepiness only rose little by little, and it was strange that he finally had a dream that seemed to be before the return of time and moon.

Very painful dreams.

He was dressed in official clothes, covered with cold sweat, broke into the house of unknown people and places, more than a dozen strong men, and fought with the Jingwei who came with him, he didn't care about these at all, and ran all the way with the scabbard in his hand, until a certain room in the backyard, the door was open, and there was a smell of blood.

The first thing he saw was Wen Shouchu, who was staring blankly, with a dagger stuck in his chest, and then ......

The woman lay in a pool of blood, her eyes closed quietly.

It's like falling asleep, getting rid of all the nightmares and finally getting peace, and even the corners of his lips are like a smile.

He stepped forward to hug her, and could still feel the warmth of the remnants of her body, but her soul seemed to have gone away, unconscious.

It's a step too late.

In her life, he always seemed to be one step too late, too late to say hello, and too late to say goodbye.

He only knew that what he had to do was that he couldn't continue to leave her here, let the world talk about her and Wen Shouchu, a despicable and shameless villain, Mrs. Gu, she could live and die with the prince but she would never be humiliated by Wen Shouchu.

So he took her and buried her in a place known only to him, far away from the market, where there were green mountains and white springs, and vines and roses.

He erected a monument for her, but he did not engrave it on her monument, and he built a bamboo house near her tomb, but he did not know whether he was lucky enough to live with her long companion one day.

Since that day, life seems to have become crumbling, and Zhao Lanting in the dream world doesn't know what he is still insisting on.

The monarch he assisted is dead, and the woman he can't love has also died, and he has killed all those "real culprits", but who can come back if he is loyal and cherished? So what supports him to continue to move forward, from now on, there is really only Sheji Guozuo, Zhao Lanting in the dream thought, when I completed my grandfather's entrustment, when I was unhindered, I will accompany you.

Under the shadows, your soul may not need my company, but in the yang world, I will protect your dead bones.

Then whether it is the yin and yang world, or the return of spring, you will no longer feel lonely and lonely.

At that time, he thought that the eradication of Zheng Xiu was the end of the whole, and he had no doubt that after the death of the crown prince, the king of Qin he assisted was the culprit.

By the time he died, there were only some suspicions that could never be confirmed.

Before the guillotine on the execution ground, his biggest regret is only, spring return, I can't accompany you in front of the tomb, but no one knows that you are buried in that mountain forest, and no one will disturb your purity in the future, if there is really reincarnation, I hope I will not be one step later, and I hope that when I see you again, my body and mind have been free.

The guillotine knife will not fall in a dream, Lan Ting opened his eyes silently, he first felt the warmth of one arm, because he was entangled by a sleeping woman, the sourness in his heart disappeared like a tide, Lan Ting thought that the past was just a nightmare after all, as I prayed, when I saw goodbye, my body and mind were free, and this time I finally didn't hate late.

He turned over cautiously, did not pull out his arm, he gently flicked Chungui's long hair, so that she exposed her earlobe, he kissed her earlobe lightly, it seemed that he heard the faint murmur of the person who shared the bed, he felt that his arm was wrapped tighter, and the warm breath penetrated directly into the pores, which made him want to move a certain desire again.

But then he suddenly heard a bell ringing.

The sound of the bell tore through the silence of the night.

Spring return also woke up.

At first glance, I saw Lan Ting's solemn expression.

And the bell still rings.

Gradually, I heard the words, and it should be that the maid was also shocked by the sudden ringing of the bell, and couldn't help but have a discussion.

The bell finally stopped.

Lan Ting seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "It should be the queen." ”

The queen died.

Queen Shen is no longer in charge of palace affairs before her death, but she is still not deposed, no matter who in the world will cry for her sincerely, the lord of the six palaces died, naturally deserve the whole country to mourn, overnight the major mansions have hung white flags, the holy order has not been issued, the internal and external women are waiting for the order to cry and mourn in mourning clothes, at dawn, there is no place in the capital to see the colorful flags, and the common people are also dressed in sackcloth.

But Jin Ju Tang Gui is unwilling to lose color for personnel, and the intrigues and tricks have not stopped because of the death of the queen.

In the middle of the month, it is also until the end of the year.

Seven days of mourning, the people no longer take hemp, but this year of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the celebration and joy or the nobles and nobles are free, only the full moon in the sky is very lonely.

Even Chungui was "requisitioned" to Ciqing Palace, helping Mingzhu to do his work, and on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, he was sent back to the Taishi Mansion by the crown princess's car in the middle of the night.

Mrs. Shen was naturally not at home, the third lady and the fourth lady took over the housework again, and the third lady had to be busy patrolling around even if she was pregnant at this time.

"Because of the national funeral, the ban on the street is looser than in the past, so the access control everywhere needs to be more careful, I heard that next door to the old mansion of Xu Ge, last night mixed in a few thieves, into the room

thieves, and almost let them get their hands on it. The rules of Xu Ge's old mansion have always been strict, but I almost went wrong while there was chaos, and I personally led the stewards to patrol a few more times just in case, so as to teach all the houses, especially the access control, not to be relaxed. ”

"It's okay for anything else, I'm just worried that the queen will die, and the old lady will say something taboo." Chungui lowered his voice.

The third lady waved her hand: "Although during the national funeral, the old lady insisted on entering the palace to cry and mourn, but the old lady didn't want to be affected from the bottom of her heart, the old lady was sick for a while, and the sick fold was handed over, and the queen mother and the princess also agreed. And isn't the treasure girl now too much to be contained by the Taishi Mansion, and she is also free from the cold and bitter place? Bao girl's marriage, the old lady knows that she must rely on Brother Ting and you, the old lady has indeed been confused for most of her life, but the current situation does not allow her to mess around anymore. ”

Only Jiang Junbao of the Jiang family is still living in the garden, and it was the old lady who pleaded several times to win Lan Ting's relief, but in addition to the old lady, in fact, how many people understand that Lan Ting did not intend to embarrass the Jiang family's daughters, that is, it is impossible to contain them all in the Taishi Mansion, and the local officials have also been informed to take care of them in the place of exile, as long as they can be diligent and thrifty and self-reliant, they will not suffer from persecution and hunger in the future.

"Miss Bao has changed her temperament since she was almost persecuted by the concubine that year, and when she encountered this accident again, she became more and more calm and reasonable, and the old lady died down so quickly, and Miss Bao contributed a lot." Chungui also sighed.

A Zhao Lanxin and a Jiang Junbao used to be high-flying and domineering, but now the temperament of the two girls has changed, it can be seen that the inevitability of nature is not entirely true, or that the original nature of human beings is good, they are all caused by connivance.

"It's just that when I meet a national funeral, Xin'er's marriage has to be delayed, and Bao Yatou's marriage can't be taken care of." The third lady said helplessly.

Empress Shen died, outside of the non-clan, the family of the noble ministers was not allowed to marry for at most three months, but the situation of Lan Xin's sister was different, Empress Shen was her nominal aunt, and she should serve a full year of mourning, as for Jiang Junbao, she had two mourning clothes for her father and ancestors, and she should have been married for three years.

"Don't worry about the second sister's affairs, Uncle Hengzhu is not willing to let the second sister out of the cabinet so quickly, and the Zhou family Xiaolang is not very old, and the Zhou family is not in a hurry, as for Miss Bao, after a few years, no one will talk about the affairs of the Jiang family anymore, and it may be more beneficial for her to discuss relatives." Chungui felt that the girl's family didn't have to rush to get married, Lan Xin didn't mention it, just talking about Jiang Junbao, and now she is in the Taishi Mansion and no one dares to give her grievances, after two years, her temperament has been sharpened in all aspects, and there are so many relatives and friends in the Taishi Mansion, there will naturally be those who don't pay so much attention to the family's background, as long as she takes a fancy to her character, she will have the opportunity to marry into the Shi clan.

No matter how Jiang Junbao is, she is also a pampered and upgrown girl, her ten fingers do not touch the spring water, according to the current situation, she is afraid that she can only marry a civilian poor family, not to mention anything else, just talk about the three-inch golden lotus, how can she adapt to work?

"Bao Yatou's marriage, you can't worry about Chun'er in the future, and she has met you, regardless of Bao Yatou's previous rudeness, and she is willing to plan for her." When the third lady said this, she caught a glimpse of Ju shyly poking her head at the gate of the courtyard of the Rebuke Garden, so she patted Chungui's hand: "I'm afraid that Brother Ting'er hasn't rested yet, so I won't pull Chun'er to gossip anymore." ”

He sat on his shoulders and continued his patrol.
