Chapter 39: Commitment (Today's Addition)
Chun'er held the meal and stood at the door, her face full of worry. Xiao Lian looked at the food in Chun'er's hand and asked, "Hasn't she eaten it?" ”
Chun'er nodded, tears were about to come out: "What's wrong with Miss?" Since I came back that night, I have been locked in my room for three days without eating. The young lady is not in good health. How can this continue? ”
Xiao Lian took the plate and said to Chun'er, "I'll come." ”
Xiao Lian gently pushed open the door, and He Jingying was still sitting on the bed with her knees in a sullen manner. He Jingying heard the sound of pushing the door, and said lightly: "Chun'er, I don't eat." ”
There was no one over there for a long time, and I didn't hear the sound of Chun'er leaving.
He Jingying poked her head out from behind the tent and saw Xiao Lian holding a duck leg and gnawing happily. As soon as Xiao Lian turned around and saw He Jingying looking at him, he forgot to swallow the duck meat, took the remaining half of the duck leg out of his mouth, and silently put it back on the plate. He Jingying looked at Xiao Lian silently. Xiao Lian looked at He Jingying, then at the duck leg, and suddenly turned the duck leg over, hiding the side of the duck leg that was gnawed.
He Jingying: "You haven't eaten enough? ”
Xiao Lian took a mouthful of oil, he raised his hand, wiped his mouth with his hand, and wiped it on the placket of his clothes. He Jingying was stunned for a while.
Xiao Lian smiled happily: "Daughter-in-law, are you awake?" I just saw you asleep, thinking that this duck would not taste good when it was cold, so I couldn't help but eat a piece. ”
Xiao Lian looked at He Jingying with a disgusted expression, laughed in his heart, picked up the plate and came to He Jingying's side. He Jingying saw that Xiao Lian was going to come over with that mouthful of oil, and hurriedly jumped out of bed: "You stay away from me!" ”
Xiao Lian sat down on the bed with a grin, and copied another piece of duck meat and put it in his mouth: "Who told you not to eat it." You can't feed the fat tiger, it's fat enough. ”
He Jingying pointed at Xiao Lian and said, "You get up for me, don't sit on my bed." ”
Xiao Lian was still holding the plate, and the corners of his mouth were raised: "So stingy? I'm just sitting, what can you do with me? ”
Underwhelmed!
He Jingying stepped forward and stretched out her hand to pull Xiao Lian: "You open it for me!" ”
Xiao Lian's body was crooked, and with a hook of his feet, He Jingying fell on the bed with a thud. Xiao Lian leaned down, propping up the bed with one hand, and holding the plate of ducks with the other, and a three-point smile hung obliquely on the corner of his mouth.
He Jingying's face was so red that she almost wanted to drip blood: "You...... You...... What are you doing? ”
Xiao Lian smiled maliciously: "Who told you not to eat?" ”
He Jingying's eyebrows frowned slightly, her knees bent slightly, and she pushed upward. The position was really just right. Xiao Lian bent down with a scream: "You...... You...... You've got it right! ”
He Jingying took the plate of ducks and stood still: "Hmph, the prodigal son!" He took a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.
After such a fight with Xiao Lian, He Jingying's haze dissipated a little, and when she added the oil fragrance of duck meat in her mouth, she really felt a little hungry.
Xiao Lian was kicked by He Jingying, and he didn't slow down yet, and he was a little lame when he walked, but he still handed He Jingying a bowl and chopsticks: "Daughter-in-law, you want a lady." ”
He Jingying stuffed two pieces of meat into her mouth, and tears fell again.
Xiao Lian panicked all of a sudden, this woman looked cute when she was angry, and he really had no problem crying. "Eh, eh, daughter-in-law, why are you crying again."
He Jingying pursed her mouth and said, "What do you say? Why is this matter just like that? So many people died? How do you say forget it? ”
Xiao Lian knew it in his heart. He Jingying's sadness is not just because she didn't bring down Xiao Ziliang this time. It is even more unjust for these innocent people who have lost their lives.
He Jingying was indeed very concerned at the beginning because she suspected that the plague case was related to Xiao Ziliang, but this was not the only reason. If the plague spreads, it is not the rich and noble families in these royal mansions who do not know the sufferings of the world, but those who rest in the ruined temples or carry the burden in the streets and alleys to do small business.
Those sixteen corpses were not without shock to her. The sentence "no" in Yizhuang, she said it from the bottom of her heart, it has nothing to do with party disputes, she doesn't want these people to die unjustly, and she won't let these people die blindly.
However, what happened next was that the forty-two corpses of the two palaces were in front of him, and it was the prince's secret sentence.
She lost her promise. is even more wronged that he can only watch and can't do anything.
Xiao Lian said: "A-Ying, you know, these people may turn the gun to hurt you in the future, now ......"
He Jingying interrupted him and said, "But, I didn't want to take their lives. They are only threatened, and they can't help themselves. I'm going to guard against them, and I'm just sending them away." Where is the use of taking people's lives? ”
On the one hand, He Jingying is sad for these unjust deaths, but on the other hand, she can't help but be a little happy. In this way, I feel even more unbearable. actually let himself fall into deep self-blame, feeling that these more than 50 lives were related to himself.
He Jingying said slowly: "Do you know, I met someone when I was a child. The man was a robber who had just robbed a large family. During the robbery, he was discovered and accidentally killed the owner of the house. I happened to be passing by there. When the man came out, covered with blood, he was mad, and he cut down anyone he saw. I was so frightened that I thought I was going to die. But he didn't hurt me, he just looked at me and left. Later the man was arrested. When I went to the execution ground, I saw his pregnant wife and a blind mother. I thought he was pitiful at the time, and if he hadn't been cornered, he would never have done such a thing. ”
Xiao Lian said: "So those domestic servants, it's the same, you also feel pitiful?" ”
He Jingying nodded.
Xiao Lian rubbed He Jingying's head and kneaded her neatly hair: "But have you ever thought that the dead rich master is the most pitiful?" ”
In fact, have you ever thought that the most pitiful thing is you?
He Jingying raised her head and looked at Xiao Lian with a pair of dark eyes.
Xiao Lian said again: "The master of that family didn't do anything wrong, but he was killed." Isn't it more pitiful? The world should not bully the weak, but it does not mean that the weak are justified. These domestic servants who died this time are not your responsibility. Someone else killed them. ”
He Jingying's expression darkened again. The entire fifty-eight lives were not stained on King Jingling's body.
In fact, why the prince ordered it to be secret and not issued, she knew it in her heart. The current disparity between the strength of the crown prince and the king of Jingling is too great, and if he wants to make a move, he will inevitably have a fatal blow.
Thinking of this, He Jingying's expression darkened again: "But there is not much time for us." ”
It has only been half a year since Xu Wanyu burned Yiyue Pavilion, Xu Wanyu can't kill it, and the people behind it can't be eliminated.
Xu Wanyu is just a knife in the hands of the person behind this, but it is by no means the only one.
She was pushed forward little by little by those hands called fate. She always wanted to escape, she tried to find the details of the previous life that had not been discovered, she sought everything that could have saved her from her fate. She feared that everything she had done was in vain. She was worried that she would not be able to retrieve Xiao Zhaoye or change her own fate.
Xiao Lian changed the look of the hippie smile in the past, and said with a straight face: "A-Ying, I will protect you thoroughly." ”
