Chapter 559: Willing to Fight, Willing to Suffer
Xue Yan thought that Huai Sleeve was looking for her just to talk about family life, reminiscing about the past in northern Xinjiang, in order to relieve the pain of homesickness, but she didn't expect Huai Sleeve to turn the topic to this.
Huai Sleeve didn't seem to notice that Xue Yan's face was wrong, and still said to himself: "Since ancient times, those who are generals have always hated rebels the most, and this is the case with Ama and my brother in northern Xinjiang, and I am the same as them now. ”
Huai Sleeve said this, slowly picked up the tea cup next to him, took a shallow sip, raised his bright eyes, and looked at the snow goose next to him.
At this time, the snow goose was already deeply lowered her eyebrows, and kept stirring the handkerchief in her hand.
Huai Sleeve still didn't seem to see her nervousness, and continued: "Now that Yuehe betrayed me, do you think I should deal with this traitor, whether to send her to the Shen Punishment Division, or hang her directly to death" At the end, Huai Sleeve deliberately accentuated his tone.
When he heard Huai Sleeve say the words "hang up and kill him", Xue Yan's body shook suddenly, and fine and dense cold sweat immediately oozed from the corners of his forehead and the tip of his nose.
Huai Sleeve looked at the snow goose sideways, and suddenly smiled: "Look at you, I'm talking about Yuehe, not you." As he spoke, he reached out to shake Snow Goose's hand, only to find that her hands were soaked in cold sweat.
"Little, little Gege, are you sure that the rumor is from the moon lotus," Xue Yan asked, but her voice was very small.
Huai Sleeve let go of Xue Yan's hand, and said: "I only serve a few of you, Yingxue and a few of her, it is an old man who has been with me for a few years, you are the person next to my sister, only Yuehe, is from another palace, isn't she you?"
Snow Goose's body shook again, and she lowered her head deeply.
Huai Sleeve's gaze moved to the low-hanging snow goose again, looked at her deeply, and only after a moment did he whisper: "I'm tired, you go." ”
When Xue Yan turned around, Yingxue walked out of the inner pavilion with a handkerchief, and saw the sleeves on the brocade couch with a depressed face, holding the teacup in a daze.
Yingxue didn't dare to speak, only put the silk quilt on Huai Sleeve, and wanted to turn away, but heard Huai Sleeve speak: "Tonight, you can take advantage of no one to bring Yuehe and Qingmei back from the firewood room." ”
After Yingxue answered, she left, and Lianqiu came in to serve her sleeves to freshen up and change her clothes.
Holding the book in his arms, he leaned on the couch without a trace of sleepiness, and after the third watch outside the window, the sound of squirming footsteps sounded under the porch of the door, and then Yingxue brought Yuehe and Qingmei in.
As soon as Qingmei and Yuehe stepped into the dormitory, they threw themselves and kowtowed to their sleeves.
Huai Sleeve glanced at Ying Xue on the side, Ying Xue immediately understood, turned around and closed the door, and personally guarded the door.
Huai Sleeve lifted the brocade couch on his lap, walked to the front of the sister, helped the two of them up with his own hands, and asked, "What are the sins of the two of you?"
This question left the two sisters speechless.
Huai Sleeve looked at the emaciated and slightly gray faces of the two sisters, and sighed lightly: "This palace knows that the two of you have been wronged, and this palace is really helpless, so I made this decision." ”
Qingmei immediately shook her head and said: "The lives of the two of us were given by the master, don't say that it is a betrayal of the master, even if the master accepts our two cheap lives, our sisters will never complain."
Yuehe next to him also nodded again and again, but she was already in tears.
Huai Sleeve was grateful in his heart, and then said to Yuehe: "Now that the matter has come to this, I have to wronged you for a few more days." ”
After that, Huai Sleeve took a small bottle of cinnabar in front of the dressing table, came back and handed it to Qingmei and said: "Tomorrow morning, the palace will order Fuquan to be executed, and then Yuehe will inevitably take a few more boards, you will use the cinnabar to spread it with clear oil and sprinkle it on her Luo skirt, which has been filled with blood stains." ”
Qingmei took the cinnabar and nodded, "The slave understands." ”
Huai Sleeve said to Yuehe again: "Tomorrow Fuquan will be executed with his own hands, and his subordinates will have their own proportions, but you will have to suffer a few times of flesh and skin." ”
Yuehe shook his head and said: "You don't need my sister to change the cinnabar, the master is really fighting, and if you want to do it, you can do it like that." ”
Huai Sleeve smiled: "Silly girl, why is this so, this palace is still waiting for you to come back and serve earlier." ”
In the early morning of the next day, a group of palace people whispered around the main hall of Qingzhi Hall, and the two eunuchs dragged Yuehe to the bench, and Fuquan stood beside him with his own cane.
When he was about to be executed, Fuquan saw the sleeves outside the crowd at a glance, and everyone immediately knelt on the ground, while Fuquan knelt in front and kowtowed to the sleeves.
At this time, the sleeves, dressed in a light rose-colored wide-sleeved flag suit, looked like he was about to leave the palace, glanced at the moon lotus lying on the bench coldly, and said in a deep voice: "According to the decree of the palace, you don't have to worry about the old days" After that, he turned around and walked towards the palace gate.
"Huh" came from behind Fuquan's loud reply.
Before he could step out of the palace gate, there was a crackling sound behind him. Huai Sleeve slowly closed his eyes and whispered to himself: "It's really a sin." As he spoke, You Yingxue helped him to get on the golden silk phoenix chariot and walked towards the Qianqing Palace.
said that he was going to ask Kangxi for peace, but Huai Sleeve actually couldn't bear to witness Yuehe's execution and hid.
The phoenix slowly fell outside the Zhaoren Palace, and Li Dequan immediately greeted him, and when he greeted Huai Sleeve, he couldn't help laughing: "Which Hong Kong has blown the mother to the long live Lord at this moment, I'm afraid that he is being disturbed by that one at this moment." ”
Huai Sleeve raised his eyebrows lightly and asked with a smile: "But Concubine Lan is here."
Li Dequan shook his head and whispered, "The one from Zhong Cui Palace." ”
Huai Sleeve's face was slightly startled, and after thinking about it for a while, he slowly stepped on the steps with his skirt and walked into the Zhaoren Palace.
Walking to the front of the West Wing Mansion, I heard a faint sobbing sound inside, followed by a thick book that seemed to fall heavily to the ground.
Huai Sleeve knew that Kangxi was annoyed again, so he turned around and entered the room, but saw Concubine Yu kneeling beside Kangxi's lap, wiping her tears with a handkerchief, and holding the hem of Kangxi's dragon robe tightly with one hand.
Seeing Huai Sleeve coming in, Concubine Yu was slightly stunned, but the dragon robe she was holding was suddenly thrown off, Kangxi had already gotten up and left her seat and walked towards Huai Sleeve.
Before he could speak, his hand was already held by Kangxi, and he only heard a deep voice in his ear: "You came at the right time, go out for a walk with me, and the ears of the early morning will not be the scene." ”
The words had been pulled out by Kangxi, and he only had time to look back at Concubine Yu.
Huai Sleeve followed Kangxi to the back garden of Zhaoren Palace, she knew in her heart that Concubine Yu's advice must be for Wu Qiming's affairs, so she didn't ask much, just followed silently.
Kangxi walked around the garden, and finally stood under the Fusang tree, sighing lightly: "Five times and three times, I can't take care of so many old feelings." As he spoke, he only heard a click, and Kangxi broke the thumb-thick branch in his hand into two.
Seeing this scene, Huai Sleeve knew in his heart that Kangxi had made up his mind, lowered his eyes, and said softly: "The matter of the previous dynasty, after all, is a state affair, but Sister Yufei has a husband and wife relationship with Long Live Lord. ”
It's good that Huai Sleeve didn't say this, but as soon as this remark came out, Kangxi's face became a little more gloomy.
