Chapter 85
That day, Luluo came to the house to look for me, and Mo'er and I went out to meet her. The pothos is no longer as arrogant and domineering as before, and her eyes are swollen like buns, and she respects me and even Mo'er a lot, but Mo'er still has a reluctant face.
Luluo told me that the queen mother asked her to come, and the queen couldn't get out of here, saying that she wanted to tell me not to go to kiss, because this is a plan of His Majesty and the queen mother, they will find someone to kill me halfway.
In fact, I have thought of these for a long time, why should I send me away, the matter of harmony may be a conspiracy of His Majesty from beginning to end, he can even ignore the former favorite queen and turn his head to canonize other people as concubines, so wouldn't it be easier to kill an irrelevant person like me than to pinch an ant to death.
I became a little suspicious and asked the pothos: "Why did Your Majesty want to kill me?" ”
Green Pothos looked around vigilantly and whispered, "Because Your Majesty knows what you mean to His Royal Highness King Yi, and he doesn't want His Royal Highness to have a good time, he wants His Highness to be depressed forever." ”
"Decadent?"
"I heard that His Royal Highness King Yi hasn't been to the court for a long time, and he hasn't practiced on the field!"
I continued to ask: "If Your Majesty kills me halfway, how will he explain to Zixuguo if I die?" ”
"He is Your Majesty, there is nothing he can't do in this world, if you die at that time, Your Majesty can say that you met robbers on the way, or say anything."
In fact, I have probably begun to believe it when I say this, but I am very puzzled in my heart, why does the queen, who used to treat me like a thorn in her eye, help me like this today?
"Why does the queen want to help me?" This is the last thing I say to Pothos.
The pothos seemed to be asked by me, and it took a long time for her to say that she didn't know. She said that she told me not to ask so much and just do what the queen wants, she said that the queen is also in dire straits in the palace now, not favored, and depends on the face of the queen mother, the most angry is that Zhou Guifei, since the last incident, she has been against the queen everywhere, Xiliang has destroyed the queen and has no support, and I am afraid that the future will be difficult.
The pothos simply answered the question, but I actually listened to it for half an hour. She said that she was talking about some things about the queen in the palace, and she couldn't stop talking about it, just like when I talked to others about my mother's relatives before. When she was about to leave at the end, Luluo said that in fact, the queen was not so vicious and not so unkind, but she was not treated well in Xiliang, and later came to Tianyue and suffered a lot, and these temperaments were forced out. There is also the last witch thing, which was designed by His Majesty and Zhang Weizhi, and the queen was somewhat compelled to do so.
I said that, but I still can't let go. What is the last resort, the last resort, can hurt the lives of others and cause people to be ruined? I will never forget the moment when Daddy died, and I will never forget how the queen quibbled in front of His Majesty before, and how she harmed our whole family together with His Majesty Qin Se and Ming. Now that her family is ruined, and she finally feels the same pain as me, does she feel indebted to me? If she had a smooth life, would she still have such an awareness? What if she feels indebted, what if she wants to help me now, my father can't come back.
"Can I trust you?"
"Please believe me, Miss, and run away while there is still some time to get away from your relatives!"
I closed the door, and the pothos was still outside telling me to leave. In the past, my life was very simple, I never got involved in so many people and so many things, the more they cared about me, the more afraid I was in my heart, I was afraid of deception again, the cost was too great, more terrible than death.
I have to say that I hesitated for a long time because I didn't know where to go. Mo'er obviously didn't believe in the queen even more than I did, and she didn't say a word to me.
Finally, the day before the kiss, I thought about it again and again, just in case, I decided to bring the dagger that Wu Deqing had given me before, I hid the dagger in the package, and after grooming and dressing, I still got into the carriage and set foot on the road of the kiss.
Mo'er and I sat in a carriage, and there were three carriages for the entire dowry.
Mo'er was reluctant to put down the curtains, and for the first time I felt that I was still in this almost empty city. As soon as the carriage left, Mo'er cried, she really couldn't help it, she said to me, "I will come back when I have a chance in the future." ”
The tears in Mo'er's eyes were like stars in the sky, little by little, she was so unsure, then I was even more unsure, "Come back, if you don't have a good time there, we will secretly run back." ”
I opened the curtain to look at the people coming and going on the street, and from time to time I would meet a few people I knew, and I felt very kind when I saw them, and my heart was warm.
I was always a little worried, always feeling that someone would suddenly fall off the roof of the carriage and pierce me in the heart, or that a robber would stop us in the middle of the way. From time to time, I would touch the dagger in my package, and as long as the dagger was still there, I felt a little relieved.
On the first day of departure, everything was normal, there was nothing unusual about the soldiers, and there was no movement around. The maids were respectful to me, serving me with delicious food and drink, and calling me Princess Yunning one bite at a time, which made me feel uncomfortable and my scalp was numb, and the whole friendly team, that is, Mo'er, did not call me like this.
On the first day, Mo'er and I slept in the carriage, and the carriage could only sit and not sleep well, so Mo'er and I actually slept on each other's pillows. From time to time, there were a few sounds of wind blowing the leaves outside the carriage, and the wailing of the lonely bird outside, to be honest, sounded quite terrible.
I woke up in the middle of the night, and I was sweating profusely in the slightly cool weather of August and September. I dreamed that I was in a big forest full of mist, it was like a labyrinth, I couldn't get out of it, suddenly out of the woods a wolf, its eyes were so bright and so bright, the jealous eyes seemed to swallow me into its belly in the next second, I ran desperately, and finally I saw a shadow in the woods, it was a big sweat with a knife, he turned his head and looked at me expressionlessly, I begged him hard, he nodded and then took out a big knife and slashed at me. So I woke up and found that it was just a dream, and I was still alive and well.
I can't even remember how many times I've woken up from a dream. Since the day Daddy left, I've been plagued by nightmares where either someone else wants to kill me or I'm going to kill someone else.
Qian Che's tone was a little hurried: "Your Highness, Ah Candle's carriage has already left the city yesterday!" ”
Chu Muxiu put down the teacup and said lightly: "I will probably be able to go to Shuzhong today." ”
"Is Your Highness really not going to chase after you?"
"I may not be able to catch up if she goes too far, I have checked, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Zixu Country is a brave and resourceful person who is sympathetic to the people, she has found a good family, you and I should be happy for her." After speaking, he looked at Qianche again, "I just cried you and Mo'er, if it weren't for my ......"
Qian Che also smiled bitterly: "Your Highness doesn't have to say this, compared to me...... His Highness didn't have a good time. ”
Probably only Qian Che knows what Chu Muxiu thinks in his heart, after seeing the division and merging between us so many times, everyone will get a trace of relief in their hearts, what His Royal Highness can't have, how dare Qian Che himself ask for it, besides, Qian Che knows that I will be good to Mo'er, and she will follow me to enjoy the blessings.
"It seems that I am destined to be lonely for the rest of my life." He let out a long sigh and then picked up his teacup and drank it again.
He always likes to drink tea when he is in a bad mood, and the queen hurries in before the teacup is hot. Qian Che looked shocked and couldn't stop it, but Chu Muxiu was very calm.
"Participate in the ...... of the Queen Mother"
The queen's steps were as rapid as her tone: "You still have the heart to drink tea?" ”
"Otherwise, what else can I do?"
The queen walked over and snatched the teacup from Chu Muxiu's hand suddenly: "Go after her, tell her that you like her and then chase her back!" ”
Chu Muxiu's eyes only stared at the teacup in the queen's hand: "What can you do if you chase it back? What can I give her, and what can she rely on me? It's better to stop and be well! ”
Saying that it is drinking tea is actually drinking, and the leisure and melancholy all day long actually use the wine pot as a teapot, and I don't feel bitter when I drink it, and I can't stop drinking it......
"But I don't see what's wrong with you now?"
"What does it have to do with you, you are already unable to protect yourself now and still have the heart to take care of my business?" Chu Muxiu was bored in his heart, and he was holding a gun and a stick when he spoke, and the more he talked, he pointed at the queen's nose and scolded, "It's not because you have become what we are today, you don't have to pretend to be a good person anymore!" ”
The queen was caught off guard and sneered: "Sure enough, you are exactly the same as what she said." In your eyes, am I really only ruthless and femme fatale? ”
Chu Muxiu was just angry, did not continue to speak, and took a few more sips of the wine in the teapot.
The queen muttered, "But this time, I want to be a good person!" ”
The queen held back her tears and raised her head, "I'm here to tell you that Your Majesty is just trying to kill Nanyan Candle halfway in the name of harmony." ”
Chu Muxiu sneered again, looking indifferent, "Do you think I'll believe it?" Chu Hanyuan took so much trouble to send Ah Candle to make peace, besides, who didn't know that he wanted to use this peace to stabilize the diplomacy between the two countries, how could he turn around and sabotage his seamless plan? ”
"Whether you believe it or not, anyway, what I heard with my own ears outside the main hall that day, they can't condemn you at will, they can only grasp your weakness, if Nanyan Candle dies, according to your temperament, it will definitely continue to be decadent, the military power is no longer in your hands, and it will be easier for them to take you when they want to."
Chu Muxiu obviously didn't believe the queen's words: "You underestimate me too much, I have been fighting with them for thirteen years, and the more they want my life, the more they can't succeed, so they can only take away the people around me one by one." ”
"Okay, if that doesn't be a reason to convince you, then I'll tell you, you probably didn't know that Nanyan Candle actually went to the Drunken Immortal Residence that day, she waited outside the door for a whole day, and I saw her hiding on the wall when I went out."
He was stunned for a moment and grabbed the queen's shoulder, "How do you know?" ”
The queen asked, "Why don't you know anything I know?"
"But she never told me."
"And why did you take the initiative to ask her?"
Qian Che stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, otherwise, I'll go and prepare a horse, I should be able to catch up with yesterday's departure!" ”
Chu Muxiu almost cried: "But I don't have the face to see her." ”
"His Royal Highness King Yi, whom I knew before, was calm and decisive, but he was not so indecisive, besides, if you think about it, if she really marries someone else, your life will really be meaningless!"
Chu Muxiu only took the sword, set up the horse and left.
"Qianche Xie Queen Mother!"
The queen smiled: "Yes." ”
I later asked the Queen why she helped us in the first place, and she said lightly that she was just a good person, a good person.
