36. Self-determination
On this day, Huiyu dealt with political affairs, and secretly came to play with Yun Jiang.
Yun Jiang's one-handed chess skills are all taught by the emblem, but he has never been better than the blue, and he has already suffered a few times.
Yun Jiang rubbed the glass chess pieces on his fingers, and he couldn't make up his mind.
Hui Yu only looked at her and bit her lips lightly, her eyebrows were slightly locked, and she was cute and delicate.
Yun Jiang saw that Hui Yu looked calm, and even pouted with a sly smile, and immediately became angry: "Okay! You're still laughing! ”
Hui Yu sneered: "The way I look at you, it's really cute." If you are undecided, how about I show you a clear path? ”
Yun Jiang said angrily: "Don't, don't!" And he said that, he fell. The moment it fell, Yun Jiang regretted it, and he wanted to take it back when he was busy. Seeing this, Hui Yu immediately pressed Yun Jiang's slender hand, raised his eyebrows and smiled slyly: "What? Still want to regret chess? ”
Yun Jiang said coquettishly: "The concubine is blind, Lord Yulang has a lot, let the concubine regret one step." ”
Hui Yu couldn't help laughing: "That's it, let you be willful." Don't do that next time! Yun Jiang smiled with satisfaction, looked at the chess game carefully, and then fell into place.
It's a pity that the sky is powerless, and the overall situation will be decided within a few days.
Yun Jiang was angry and annoyed, and threw away the chess pieces in frustration and said, "I won't play chess with you next time." ”
Hui Yu took her small hand and smiled softly as if he was soothing: "Anyway, your chess skills are still taught by me, so that you won, where will my face go?" Okay, okay, I'll let you go next time. ”
Yun Jiang Yanran smiled: "Okay, let the concubine win the next game." The two laughed and Yan Yan spoke, so they were not harmonious and pleasant.
Hui Yu once loved her bright and lively youth, and now she loves her sensible and considerate even more. Needless to say, she will understand. Hui Yu quietly looked at Yun Jiang who bowed his head and embroidered clothes for Zaiyang, only to feel that the years were quiet, making him forget the troubles and fatigue above the court. This calm, the most ordinary love, only she can give. This may be the reason why their friendship has never diminished in the past nine years.
The bead curtain rang, Hui Yu put down the scroll in his hand and looked up, and saw that it was Yue Ning who came in. Yun Jiang is also strange, if Hui Yu is here, the slave palace people will not come in without instructions. Yun Jiangteng had an ominous premonition, only to feel that something must have happened.
Seeing that Yue Ning saluted safely, he said to Hui Yu Yunjiang: "Your Majesty, Concubine De, Liu Xiaoyuan's attempt to cut herself has been controlled, and now the queen and the concubine have gone to visit." The queen sent someone to invite the emperor and Concubine De to go. ”
Although Yun Jiang didn't have much pity in his heart, he also felt a little pity for the Liu family, and when he went to see Huiyu again, he only had indifference on his face. Yun Jiang's heart tightened, knowing that the palace concubine's self-judgment was an unlucky thing, and she would be punished. But in the end, the Liu family also served Huiyu, and he never thought that Huiyu would not show any melancholy, but felt that it was an irrelevant person's business.
Yun Jiang felt a chill in her heart, for the first time, she really felt Hui Yu's indifference as an emperor. For many years, he has only been immersed in his gentle township, and seems to ignore his extremely ruthless and cold side.
Will he also one day, like the Liu family, even if it is a matter of life and death, he will only get a look of indifference and disgust?
Thinking about it like this, his mind was quite in a trance, but Yun Jiang still hid the throbbing in his heart, and followed Hui Yu to Liu Xiaoyuan's place for a long time.
Before I got inside, I heard the woman's low cry whimpering, and in the autumn wind, it was a little terrifying.
Hui Yu noticed that Yun Jiang's expression was a little frozen, so he reached out and shook Yun Jiang's hand, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, it's okay in the end." So saying, he took her in with him.
The room was dark, filled with an oppressive air of obscenity. There seemed to be a thick despair in the air, which made Yun Jiang a little breathless. Looking down at the table where it was placed, there was some dust.
The windows in the room are tightly closed, and the light of the autumn sun only seeps in a little bit, where is the name of this hall "Guangyang Hall" such a good intention?
The cry of the soothing woman is more like a choked and congealed yin wind, blowing a few residual leaves and lamenting. Hui Yu didn't have a trace of pity, but he didn't see much anger, he just threw down a sentence very coldly: "Do you still have the face to cry?" The palace concubine's self-judgment is a big crime, don't you know? It's not a pity that you died, and your Liu family will give you a funeral. ”
Liu Xiaoyuan was stunned when she heard a few words.
She only wanted to die, but she forgot that the palace concubine's self-judgment would affect her mother's family. She trembled and thought of her lonely mother at home, and thought of her mother's reluctance before entering the palace, only to feel that she was really useless and evil.
When he was busy, he knelt down, kneeled to Hui Yu, and begged: "The emperor forgives his sins!" The emperor forgives the sins! The concubine is a ghost for a while! Emperor... It doesn't matter if the concubine dies! Please don't anger the concubine's family... Concubines... I beg you, concubine! As he spoke, he knocked his head a few times.
Yun Jiang said on the side: "What's so sad that you must seek death and life?" ”
Liu Xiaoyuan didn't dare to cry anymore, and tried her best to suppress her misery: "The concubine has no children, and she is depressed... The emperor didn't come to visit... Thus..."
The queen said on the side: "The emperor has a court and political affairs busy, where can he do everything?" This is your mistake, you are not sympathetic to the emperor, and you have not added to the emperor's heart in vain. ”
The concubine indifferently stroked the enamel begonias on her sideburns: "It's your business to do anything, but don't add bad luck to the palace in vain." ”
Yun Jiang pulled Huiyu's dark sleeves: "Liu Xiaoyuan can't think about it for a while, the emperor spared her." In the end, there is also the love of serving the emperor. ”
Hui Yu looked down at Yun Jiang, glanced at Liu Xiaoyuan again, and had no choice but to say: "Then you will be fined for half a year, and go to Fanyin Building to think about it." He didn't look at it too much, and then threw his sleeves away.
Although Liu Xiaoyuan was asked to go to Fanyin Lou to think about it, there was no exact date, a few days, a few months, or a lifetime. If Liu Xiaoyuan is powerless to save herself or has no one to help, then this is tantamount to putting her in the cold palace.
The queen and the concubine had no intention of being a useless and weak person like Liu Xiaoyuan, so they followed Huiyu together. Yun Jiang paused slightly and handed Liu Xiaoyuan a deep and meaningful look. Liu Xiaoyuan's eyes trembled, and after a long time, Yun Jiang saw her bow deeply, and knew her heart. Just wordless and walked away with the double hairpins.
The curtain was open, and a gust of cold wind poured in, and Liu Xiaoyuan stared blankly at the dust that was raised on the ground. At that moment, her heart was like ashes, and she felt that she was the powerless ashes, rolled up and thrown down by fate at will, and she didn't know where to go.
Liu Xiaoyuan leaned against the cold wall in a trance, and the servants carried her to Fanyin Tower.
She suddenly remembered many things when she was young, without her father's love, only her mother's tears. Her entry into the palace is just to pave the way for her younger sister to enter the palace in the future.
Liu Xiaoyuan was in tears, and the sound of a nun chanting scriptures came from her ears. The sound of chanting and the crisp sound of hitting the wooden fish swept away Liu Xiaoyuan's sorrow.
She got up and looked out, and could see Cining Palace where the Queen Mother lived from a distance. This Fanyin Building has always been the place where the Queen Mother and the Concubine often come, and the place where she lives is in the high pavilion. Few people have set foot on it.
Liu Xiaoyuan found a place to sit down and sat down, with mixed feelings in her heart. She remembered the look that Concubine De sent when she was leaving, remembered her involuntary choice, and everything hovered in her mind. Silently, her gaze drooped.
