Chapter 15 There are tears in the pearl of the sea and the moon
In March, it rained and snowed.
After all the calculations, Mo Yansi should have returned from the Great Snow Mountain, but he was not seen for a long time. Zhemi is so anxious that she stomps her feet every day, and sure enough, the women of the Celestial Empire are difficult to wait, this Shen girl is dressed and eaten in the palace, but she is thinner and thinner day by day, and she often sits motionless for half a day, without crying or tears, and she is always kind and indifferent when she talks.
She's thinner and thinner than she's been when she came, which makes Jemiyi feel like he's dealing with the Khan.
On this day, the weather was fine after the snowfall. Early in the morning, Zhemiyi tried his best to get Shen Pearl out of the palace to visit Ha Zhu Ba Thorn and Sun City. Shen Pearl couldn't stand her fist's kindness, and after dressing neatly, her whole body was covered with a cyan curtain, covering her face and figure, and Zhemi came out together, and several capable guards changed their homely clothes and scattered around the two of them to make sure that they were tight, but they were tight inside and loose outside.
Ha Zhu Ba Thorn Hesun was originally designed and built along the Han craftsmen, but the city is small but quite Han and Tang Dynasty architectural style, neat planning, imposing. Although Shen Pearl can't see, listening to Zhemiyi's painting and painting all the way, it can be regarded as relish, not to mention that the air is fresh in the morning, which is pleasant, which makes people forget their worries for the time being.
"Oh, isn't this Jemiyi?" They stopped when they heard someone calling Jemiyi in Huihui. Although Shen Pearl doesn't understand Huiyu, she has been used to hearing others call Zhemiyi for more than ten days, and she will know it when she hears it at this time.
Zhemiyi cheered, jumped forward and hugged the neck of the person in front of him: "Sister Achina, you're back!" I miss you so much! When did you come back? ”
Arcina replied, "It's been more than a month since I came back. ”
Zhemi said angrily: "Then why don't you come to me, oh, I know, I have a brother-in-law and forget my sister, quickly say, where did you hide your brother-in-law?" I'm going to see it for myself! ”
Akina stretched out her nails and scratched Jemiyi's face, and said to her, "Sister Jemiyi, you are really getting less and less irritable. I came from Terri, and Suda talked to you every day, and when I said that the moon festival was in April, I personally hired the Khan. ”
Zhemiyi's face straightened, and he said sharply: "Whoever wants him to talk, he is in vain, I won't marry, I won't marry him for the rest of my life!" ”
Arcina laughed in a low voice: "Then do you just stay in the palace for the rest of your life, following the Khan?" ”
Zhemiyi's face turned red and said, "That's not bad. The Khan is a hero who stands up to the sky, and it is better to serve him for a lifetime, and it is better than marrying a straw bag. ”
Arcina laughed at her in a low voice.
Shen Pearl listened to the two people next to her talking lively, although she didn't understand a word, she also listened with a smile, Zhemiyi was really a happy and lovely girl. Before he got married, he was also so happy and confident, full of hope and ambition for life.
Listening, her eyebrows furrowed. The woman who spoke to Jemiyi, although her voice was low and she tried her best to suppress her original tone, still made her sound a wisp of déjà vu. Why is this happening, and where have I heard this woman's voice? Who is she?
Quietly recalling, a sense of ominousness came over me, and a chill spread from the soles of my feet.
Huo Ran looked up, she remembered!
She is the famous interpreter, and she is the interpreter woman who escorted her by the Xiliang Kingdom Mission!
Shen Pearl slowly took two steps back, and took a deep breath, "Come on, people-", the voice shouted left and right did not fall, the sharp and cool air of the blade hit the face, and Zhemiyi shouted wildly: "Sister Achina, what are you doing!" ”
She subconsciously brushed her sleeves to block her face, "hiss", her long sleeves were torn, the curtain was off the ground, and the sharp edge was in her throat. Between the lightning and flint, her waist was suddenly brisk, and one person picked her up by the waist, her body spun up, and she heard his very slight muffled snort, and Archina screamed "ah", and fell to the ground heavily. In an instant, there was a lot of movement around her, the sound of the blades was endless, and someone shouted in Chinese, "Take the live", and the surroundings were peaceful, only hearing the voice of Achina's **, and I thought that there were more than a dozen knives on her neck.
Achina laughed bitterly and shouted, "Abs, Arbus, although I can't kill the enemy, I can do my best, the gods have no eyes!" ”
Shen Pearl seemed to be still held in the arms of the man. Zhemiyi was shocked by the changes in front of him, and came back to his senses after a while, although the man in front of him looked haggard and could not hide his calm majesty, he still hugged Shen Zhuzhu's waist and did not let go, although he knew that if he hadn't rescued him, he would have no face to see Khan, he still couldn't help but be annoyed, and shouted: "Let go of Miss Shen!" ”
His familiar breath brushed Shen Zhuzhu's cheeks, her slender fingers touched the ornament on his waist, as if the thunder was rolling between heaven and earth, the clouds suddenly gathered and dispersed, and layers of sorrow and joy surged up, unstoppable, and tears poured down.
He took a long breath, used all his strength, closed his arms and trapped her firmly in his arms, looking at her tears, as if there were thousands of knives and thousands of blades scraped in his chest, it turned out that the world said that a thousand knives were scraped, but it was like this. He lowered his head and slowly kissed her forehead, ignoring the guards beside him, kissed her tears one by one, and lay down in her ear, his voice so hoarse and low: "Pearl, I'm too late." Believe me, I will never let you suffer again. He turned his head and smiled gloomily, and said to Jemiyi: "I'm her husband, how do you tell me to let go?" ”
Jemiyi was so startled that his mouth opened wide and couldn't close. In her heart, she had already regarded Shen Pearl as the best candidate for the next Ke He Dun, who thought that this Shen girl had a husband.
"Your Highness," exclaimed one of the guards, "you are wounded!" ”
Li Jiao didn't hear it, but Shen Pearl was shocked when she heard this, her arm groped up, her face turned pale, and she screamed in surprise - the knife that stabbed her was now stabbing Li Li's hind arm!
Li Li grabbed her hand, comforted her into his chest, hugged her again, patted her back gently, the pain in her heart was incomparable, staring at her eyes, the pain in her arm was unconscious, and whispered: "What is this injury?" It's worth mentioning compared to your injuries. As he spoke, he gritted his teeth and pulled back, the knife was pulled out, blood burst out, and several personal guards hurriedly stepped forward to bandage it, but fortunately, Achina didn't know martial arts, and the wound was not deep. Li Li chuckled and said, "This is really cheap for me." I always thought that even if I died for you, it would not be a pity to come to you all the way. ”
Hearing him say the word "death", Shen Pearl felt a sharp pain in his heart, and wanted to cover his mouth, but suddenly his heart was in a trance, his head was sinking, and his soft whole body lost strength, and his eager shout, "Pearl, Pearl", only floated in his ears, farther and farther away, weaker and weaker......
"Madame's body was originally strong, but because of the frequent changes recently, and too much thought, now it has greatly injured her bones, and she must be recuperated." Half-asleep and half-awake, Shen Pearl heard an old and clear voice outside the tent.
"Let's return to the rare and exotic objects, everything we need. Mr. Changsun just prescribes a prescription, and I will definitely get the medicine. This is Mo Yan sipping and speaking. He had already returned from the Great Snow Mountain, and it seemed that he had invited that Alin down the mountain.
"Well", Mr. Changsun cleared his throat and said, "The patient's illness is serious, and the Khan and His Highness have arrived, but it is the best policy to let the lady have little worry." ”
"Then, her eyes ......," Li asked softly.
"The princess has blood congestion in her brain, and she must use acupuncture to dispel the blood congestion in her brain before she can regain her sight." Mr. Changsun said steadily without thinking.
Mo Yan Si and Li Jiao exited at the same time: "Then please ask the old gentleman to give her a needle quickly!" ”
Mr. Changsun pondered for a moment and said, "It's just that the old man is old, his eyes and hands tremble, and he hasn't applied needles for a long time." This acupuncture technique is extremely delicate, and it must be accurately applied to the acupoints of the lady's head, and if there is a slight deviation, there is no curative effect on the light, and the life of the lady is not guaranteed. Seeing that Mo Yansi and Li Jiao both had worried looks on their faces, they then said: "For today's plan, the only way to do this is to let my apprentice administer the needle." My two apprentices, His Royal Highness should know both, one is the current Princess of Jianning, Murong Linzhi, and the other is An Qingxu, the second son of An Lushan. Well, you don't have to worry, you won't be delayed for a few days. Since last year, the old man has been unwell, and he has passed the book to Lin Zhi's child half a year ago, so that she can rush back to Hui, and I have to teach her all the mantle. She will come in time after receiving the letter, and it will be less than a few days before she arrives, and before entering the palace, I have sent the servant boy to wait at the post house to meet her. ”
Shen Pearl only then saved, it turned out that this Mr. Changsun was the world-famous national hand doctor Sun E. He had been traveling around Chang'an since eight years ago, but he did not expect to settle in the Great Snow Mountains of Huifu.
"This ,......" Li Jiao's words were obviously quite hesitant, and he said in a low voice after a long time: "Mr. Eldest Sun, there are some changes that you don't know. Murong Lin sent her a ...... I'm afraid she won't be able to come. ”
The eldest grandson was shocked, and suddenly heard the crisp sound of "bang" behind him, and a tea cup rolled under the tent, and there were fragments of tea blooming all over the ground. Li Jiao walked up quickly, lifted the curtain, and saw that Shen Pearl had sat up and looked around blankly, Li Jiao hurriedly took her into his arms, held one of her hands, and said softly: "It doesn't matter, just break the teacup." Shen Pearl stretched out her hand and grabbed his arm, and was grabbing the position of his injured hind arm, the pain went straight to the bone marrow, and she couldn't help herself, listening to her ask anxiously: "What's wrong with Lin Zhi, and Hongrui, what's wrong with them?" Tell me! Eldest Sun E coughed slightly, got up and walked out of the room with Mo Yan.
Li Li pulled the thick quilt over Shen Zhuzhu, hesitated for a moment, and said slowly in a low voice: "You are not in good health, I originally thought that it would take a while to tell you." But I also know that the matter can't be hidden for long...... Even if you don't tell you today, your heart will not help your body. In any case, believe me, and I will be in all things. ”
Shen Pearl said in a trembling voice: "They, aren't they, dead?" ”
Li Jiao said in a low voice: "Pearl, you must not be too sad and sad. …… Hongrui is indeed dead. ”
Shen Zhuzhu's body shook, her long nails pinched into Li Li's palm, and she heard Li Li say: "Two months after your disappearance, Yan Ming They found Hongrui's body in a deep well on the outskirts of Chang'an. Pierced in the back, a sword was fatal, and he pretended to die for about two months. Shen Pearl remembered the glorious and magnificent teahouse in Chang'an, where he was attacked, and Hongrui was inevitable. Speaking again, his voice seemed to be floating in the air, and he asked Li Li indifferently: "What about Lin Zhi, she is also dead?" ”
"She's not dead," Li Jiu sighed and said, "It's just that she's better off dead now." Two months ago, An Qingxu found her in the north of a family in Xiliangguo. Now that she was separated from her, Murong Chun could not bear the blow and vomited blood and died a few days later. "Beili" is the name of the Tang people for brothels.
Shen Pearl only felt a roar in his ears, and the blood in his chest surged. Seeing her steep pale face and panting, Li Jiao hurriedly hugged her tightly in his arms, pressed his cheek against her cheek, and comforted her sentence by sentence: "Don't be afraid, don......'t be afraid" But listening to Shen Zhuzhu's breath, intermittently, his face turned blue, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The woman who assassinated me is her, it's her!" ”
She was dizzy, and at this time she suddenly remembered that the woman who assassinated her had called the name of "Absi, Absi" after being bound, and she didn't care at the time, but at this moment, under the strong stimulation, a bright light appeared in her brain, and she asked Li Jiao in a trembling voice: "She, is the orchid who saved Absi with his body?" ”
Li Jiao nodded silently and said, "She has confessed, and she just wants to die quickly." It turned out that on that day, Li Jiao, Chen Zhou and others used the order of Hu Ji to coerce Absi to come out and identify Li Linfu for the crime of rebellion, which finally led to Li Linfu's death and was robbed of his title and dissected by the official, and afterwards, Absi was also beheaded. Only the orchid named Akina, Chen Zhou was locked up for a while, and when Abu was done, he released her.
Who would have thought that Achina would miss Abs and be determined to avenge him. She had no chance to attack Li Jiao, so she had to take Shen Pearl as the target of revenge, and after capturing Shen Pearl and Murong Lin Zhi, she felt that it was too cheap to kill the two with one knife, and only by letting them survive and die could they agree. Because she had learned Chinese, she got a job as a translator in the Xiliang Mission, and persuaded the envoys to bring Shen Pearl and Murong Lin back to the Xiliang Kingdom and present them to the lord of the country to win favor.
The envoy was not stupid, and he immediately doubted the identity of the two of them, and where would he do this. Acina didn't do anything, and recklessly found out that these two people were the princess of Guangping and the princess of Jianning of the Tang Dynasty, and scared the envoy out of the sky, but felt that it was the best policy to transport Shen Pearl and the others to the outside of the Saiwai and dedicate them to the lord of the country, so that the two of them lost their chastity, returned to China without shame, and could not return to China. He even had the intention of killing people, but in the face of two beautiful women like flowers and jade, he couldn't do it anyway. Nervous all the way, I finally passed Jincheng County, only a few hundred miles away from Xiliang Kingdom, where did I know that I would kill a trip to bite gold halfway, and the envoys and entourage were all killed by Mo Yan, only Akina drove a carriage and escaped in the chaos. Achina, who thought that the carriage she drove away was filled with Shen Zhuzhu, but it turned out to be Murong Linzhi, and she was so angry in her heart that she simply sold Murong Linzhi to a brothel in Xiliang Kingdom. She was originally a Hui person, so she returned to her hometown, and she must put Shen Pearl to death.
Li Jiao said: "If it weren't for the momentary inspiration of Wu'er, remembering that the son I saw in Xiangmingju was you, An Qingxu didn't know when he would find Murong Linzhi." ”
Shen Zhuzhu's expression perked up, and he said: "Xiangmingju is the key to everything!" ”
Li Jiao shook his head and said, "It's a pity that Xiangmingju has been turned into ashes." An Qingxu learned that you had disappeared three days later, and Wan'er only remembered that day that she had seen you in Xiangmingju, and when the two hurried there, Xiangmingju was burned by a monstrous fire on the night of your disappearance, and the waitress in the store did not survive. They searched carefully on the spot, found a piece of the waist card of the Xiliang Mission, and immediately set off for Xiliang. Even me, it was more than ten days before I learned about it. ”
Shen Zhuzhu's hands and feet were chilled, and he closed his eyes in Li Li's arms for a while, and said softly: "I want to get up and change clothes." Li Jiao stroked her back and said, "Let's lie down, what do you do when you get up?" Do you want to ask Arcina in person? She is just a woman, and she is weak, and she really can't set off this earth-shaking wave with her own strength, and there must be conspirators. But she won't say anything, and we'll rest for a few days, and we'll think about it again. I don't believe it, there is a mystery in this world that I can't solve! ”
Shen Pearl just shook his head, and at this time, he slowly shed tears, "I must not let Hongrui die in vain, and let Lin Zhi suffer for me in vain." ”
While he was talking, there was a sound of heavy footsteps outside the room, and Mo Yansi stepped into the room and said loudly: "Good news, Mr. Changsun's disciple is here!" ”
The two people who stepped into the room afterwards were the eldest grandson E and An Qingxu, who were full of wind and dust.
