Chapter 35 If Life Is Only as First Seen
In the prison, Xi'er hugged her master tightly, but saw Su Limei's body stiff and sat there with empty eyes. She had seen the master in a daze, but she had never seen the master so depressed. I want to say something comforting, but I don't know what to say. had to be silent and hugged her tightly.
Beiqing's cell is full of felons, all of whom have been held in this hellish prison for decades, and the wails are endless. Su Limei was quiet, and the sounds around her were clearer. Xi'er hugged her body and tightened again.
And Su Limei didn't seem to hear it, her eyes still didn't fluctuate for a minute, and for a long time, Xi'er thought that she would sit here all night without saying a word.
After a while, Su Limei spoke, "Xi'er, who do you say is changing in this world?" "The voice was hoarse, like a worn-out gear.
Xi'er was silent. She didn't know what kind of response to make, this princess, she had been with for many years, she didn't know her past, she didn't know her mood. How does she answer? She bit her lip and hugged the princess tighter, as if that would give her a little warmth. Make her less sad.
Su Limei didn't get a response, she blinked her eyes emptyly, and her cicada-like eyelashes fell gently, blocking the lifeless eyes, at this time it seemed that she was an angry person, her face slowly showed sadness, and two lines of tears slipped silently.
She leaned against the corner and said nothing, but her thoughts drifted far away.
She and Su Ying are siblings of the same mother, five years older than Su Ying. Their mother, the first princess, died soon after giving birth to Su Ying.
Although she was young at that time, she remembered the voice and smile of the queen mother. will smile and wipe away the sweat for her when she is sweating profusely; will gently hold her in her arms when she is awkward, saying that she is an obedient child, and every then, she is surprisingly well-behaved.
The queen mother left when she gave birth to Su Ying, so Su Limei had a strong hatred for Su Ying, and she felt that Su Ying killed the queen mother. So when Su Ying was still in infancy, she really wanted to strangle him.
When her mind was discovered by Mama, Mama did not say that she was rebellious and hurt the heavens and reason, but said, Princess, the second prince is the person who the princess has to protect to the death, you must think clearly.
His life was bought by the queen mother. So he can't die. This is what the young Su Limei understood.
Since then, she has never thought of strangling him. As Su Ying grew up, she became closer. Su Ying was also innocent and cute when she was a child, and everyone loved her, sticking to her all day long, making noise. She would tell him how gentle the queen mother was, and how beautiful the queen was.
Every now and then, she could see endless envy in Su Ying's eyes, and she was glad that she enjoyed more maternal love than Su Ying. Then, he took even more meticulous care of Su Ying.
The eldest sister is like a mother, presumably she plays the role of a mother in Su Ying's life. Su Ying was very timid when she was a child, and her father would train him and let him fight with the young beast alone, but at that time she was very worried and secretly watched him, for fear that he would be injured.
But Su Ying didn't disappoint her, he won, raised his hands, and ran to her happily, "Sister Huang! Look at me! ”
It turns out that he has already found her!
"Does it hurt?" She didn't care if he won or lost, she just looked at his injured little hand and felt distressed. Su Ying is still a child! How could he not be aggrieved, hearing her words, crying hissed, and trembling all over.
At that time, they were sisters and brothers who depended on each other! But when did that change? What has become like this?
I don't know when Su Ying became more and more indifferent, probably when he started to go to Guozijian. Mama said that the way of the emperor is cold. Therefore, Su Ying probably accepted this imperial way, so he was estranged from her. Even if they are brothers and sisters, there is a difference between men and women.
This, she knows.
After that, Su Ying would salute when she saw her, and when she saw that she was no longer close, she was so rusty when she saw her, and it made her sad. She also stopped looking for him, and stopped appearing in front of him many times.
She also has a lot to do, to learn from female celebrities, to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and to learn to know books and etiquette. This is the child of the heavenly family. Life is not up to you, just like her, just like Su Ying, just like ...... That person.
Life in the Tilting Palace is becoming more and more boring. It wasn't until three years ago that she met that man.
There is a custom in South Vietnam, on the day of the Chinese Valentine's Day, put three bowls of water to worship the Seven Star Niangniang, put the needle in the water, pray sincerely, if the needle floats up on the second day, it is touched by the Seven Star Niangniang, you can find a good person.
When the first king was alive, he always wanted to make her reconcile, but he had to give up under her various crooked reasons. After Su Ying succeeded to the throne, although she did not persecute her, she also knew that as she grew older, she would inevitably marry casually with her relatives or the son of a minister who was the right person.
But that's not what she wants.
So on the night of Qixi Festival, she devoutly offered three bowls of water, put silver needles in them, and chanted words in her mouth. But before the silver needle could float up, he fell from the sky into the courtyard, stirring up a cloud of dust.
He was dressed in black, with a vigorous posture, only a pair of black eyes were revealed with his face covered, and peach blossom eyes provoked peach blossoms. Before she could finish it, he pinned her back to her room.
The wings of his nose were filled with the warm breath of the man and the heavy blood. He covered her mouth and struggled to speak, "Don't make a sound, I won't hurt you." ”
She nodded. He let her go, and met her seductive eyes, and she smiled lightly, "You're hurt!" ”
Her face was calm, not frightened, but with some surprise. yes, how could she not be pleasantly surprised. This is the lover sent by the Seven Star Niangniang, she thought like this, and the curvature of the corners of her mouth deepened.
Before he could speak, the voice of the guard came from outside the door, "Your Royal Highness Princess, there are assassins sneaking into the palace, what is the situation here with Your Highness Princess?" ”
She replied through the door, "Not yet!" The guards should look elsewhere. ”
The guard refused to leave for a long time, just because he was stepping on a bright red patch under his feet, he frowned, and said for a long time, "Her Royal Highness the princess should let her subordinates enter to investigate." ”
"Presumptuous!" Her face was slightly angry, but it was also red. When can she enter Su Limei's dormitory casually. Turned his head and glanced at the man next to him, his eyes were a little embarrassed, she was a princess, how could she let others enter her boudoir casually. I was even more annoyed by the rudeness of the guards.
"Her Royal Highness Princess...... Please don't embarrass your subordinates! The guard knelt on the ground, his voice hesitant.
She walked up and down in front of the door, and when she heard the voice of the guard, her anxious eyes lit up, and her heart was full of plans. Isn't he going to challenge her authority! She let him walk around without eating, so she said in a deep voice, "Princess Ben has slept!" If you come in and don't find the Assassin...... The consequences, I want you to bear it! ”
The person behind her had been looking at her curiously to see how she would respond, but when they heard her words, they were a little worried, could it be that she wanted to confess him? A hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
When the guard heard this outside the door, his face stiffened slightly, but he replied in a low voice, "Princess, my subordinates have found blood stains in the courtyard, and I hope that the princess will let her subordinates enter to investigate." ”
She sneered, and then said, "Come in."
Liu Ziqing's face was more or less unsightly, after all, he had been the commander of the guards for many years, and he could never have imagined that he would be planted on a princess today. On one side is the princess's boudoir, and on the other side is the iron-blooded and ruthless king. He gritted his teeth and pushed the door in.
The room was filled with cold incense, the light veil floated, and the woman sat on the bed half-covered, and he looked around the room a few times, smelling the slightest blood.
"Princess......" He frowned and spoke, wanting to say that the princess please stay, the wind blew the light veil, and the pink light veil flew like a wave, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that the woman's shoulders were slightly exposed, and a word was choked in his throat, and he stopped.
The woman raised her eyebrows on the couch, "Can the guards find out?" The voice was tinged with anger.
He made up his mind, bowed his head and knelt down, "My subordinates have offended, and I hope the princess will forgive her sins!" ”
"Heh," she sneered, the corners of her mouth spitting out turbidity, and her eyes flashed with displeasure, "Did the guards say that there was blood outside the courtyard......"
The half-kneeling man was speechless, and after a while, the woman said in a deep voice, "The blood that the guards saw is this!" ”
With a gust of wind, a bloody handkerchief fell on him, and his face suddenly became ugly. It's not a woman's ...... Sanitary belts!
The bloody one was thrown hard in front of him, his face changed slightly, and he said the princess's forgiveness and left in a hurry.
The man on the bed had a pale face, and the blood on his chest was even worse. The woman brushed the hair on her forehead and turned her head to look harmless, "Are you okay?" ”
He pale his face, "It's okay." "It's just that you pressed too hard when you took blood just now, and half of your life is almost gone!
"That's good!" The woman didn't seem to see his pain, and her cunning eyes flashed, "In this way, I saved it, and you owe me a favor!" If I need him, you will pay it back! ”
You almost took half my life, and you want me to repay the favor! I'm also a temperamental person, okay! It's good if it doesn't hurt you! The man sneered in his heart, and then said warmly, "Hmm! ”
Su Limei nodded, the child can be taught. He turned around and took the medicine and treated him. Don't ask him what his name is, don't ask him where he came from, don't ask him why he came. It's just that in the future, if she needs it, she must appear.
She still didn't understand why she was sure that he would show up when she needed him, and she believed him for no reason. I also regret why I didn't ask him who he was and who his surname was. If he asked, would he not come again, if he asked, would he not be wrong, and if he asked, would he not be ...... And then there was the later entanglement.
But there are so many ifs in the world.
If life is only as it first seems.
