Chapter One Hundred and Eighty-Nine: True Love
calmly walked out of Jingyue Palace, under the pretext of going to the back garden to see the chrysanthemums, and helped the laughing man to the back garden.
The dry well in the back garden has been filled in, and a beautiful pavilion has been set up on it, called the Wind Riding Pavilion.
Calmly walked into the pavilion, looked into the distance, for a long time, and grinned: "Laughing people, the bottom is the place where people have died, it is extraordinarily cold, a little crazy, let's go." β
The laughing man stepped forward to hug her and left, and he really couldn't understand why the master wanted to come here for a walk.
"Laughing man, you go back first, I'll go to the Moon Tower to sit for a while." Calmly sent the laughing man back, and went up to the Moon Tower alone.
She didn't come here to see the city wall in the distance, but to meet Koharuko.
When Koharuko saw her coming, she greeted her with a smile on her face.
"Is business good?" Calmly asked him.
Xiao Chunzi nodded: "Niangniang's plan is really godly, it is really good, now our Song Ji Qian Zhuang can be regarded as one of the best money villages in the capital, the eldest brother according to your meaning, began to go to the rich places in the south of the Yangtze River to open a branch, and now has opened dozens of branches in Hangzhou, Suzhou and Yangzhou, and the business is also excellent, Niang Niang rest assured."
This is the account handed back by each number every month, please look at it. β
As she spoke, Koharuko took out an account from her sleeve and handed it to her with both hands.
Calmly biting his fingernails, he didn't take the account book, and laughed: "Big brother's account, I can trust it, I don't want to look at any accounts, I don't have a headache, I just need to give me money when I want money, just give me money." β
After dealing with calm for so long, he is also well versed in calm temper, hearing her say this, he no longer distinguishes with her, collects the accounts, and said with a smile: "Niangniang, because of the semicolon recently, the eldest brother often runs to Jiangnan, what does Niangniang want, let the eldest brother bring it to you?" β
"There is a snack called crab roe bun in Hangzhou, I didn't eat enough last time, if I can bring it back, let the eldest brother bring some back for me." Calm down.
Koharuko agreed.
calmly gnawed enough on his fingernails, clapped his hands, and said the right thing: "Haruko, you let people go to the mass grave to find me a large bag of dead people's bones, to rot a little, no new ones." β
Xiao Chunzi shuddered, and her face turned pale: "Niangniang, what do you want to do with those scary things?" β
"Go and scare someone, if she doesn't do something wrong, she is naturally not afraid, if she does something wrong, I'm afraid she will be scared to death." Said calmly.
Xiao Chunzi shivered again, and her voice trembled a little: "Niangniang, be careful in everything." β
"Go, the sooner the better, get someone to send it to my Fengqi Palace, hand it over to me personally, if I'm not there, take it, be sure to hand it over to me personally, do you understand?" β
Koharuko nodded, said relieved, and went by herself.
Calmly lifted his clothes and went downstairs and returned to Fengqi Palace.
Halfway through, I met the laughing man, and the laughing man saw her, and hurriedly said: "Niangniang, it's not a strange thing, the head of the execution department, Guixi's father-in-law, came to look for you and asked him what was the matter, but he refused to say, he had to wait for you to come back and tell you in person, no, the slave is looking for you everywhere." β
"Let's go, go back and take a look, now it's all left to look at the excitement, you can't do anything, right, I'm done, is the saliva pocket you made ready?" Calmly asked her.
The laughing man smiled and nodded: "It's almost, I can finish it today, but a saliva pocket is worth the mother's effort." β
"It's better to be fine for children." Smiled calmly.
"Niangniang really likes the little prince, Ming'er asked Master Zhu to come over to check the pulse, when she has it, she may not know what she will be happy about." The laughing man covered his mouth and smiled.
The two laughed and walked back.
Guixi was pacing up and down the steps, and when he saw that he was calm, he greeted him from afar, teased his clothes, and said with a smile: "My good mother, you are back, and the slave has a nerve-wracking matter, and I want to discuss it with my mother." β
"You say." Calmly put his hands up and said.
Guixi glanced at the laughing man, who took a few steps back and went straight to the door.
"Niangniang, Queen Niangniang, no, let her want to see you, the slave didn't agree, but she seemed to be determined to see you, and the slave looked at her pitifully, so she came to tell me, Niangniang, did you see it?" Guixi whispered a low laugh in her ear.
"Is she hard-hearted, or did you take a bribe from her?" Asked him calmly with a smile.
Guixi hehe, scratching the back of his head: "It's to give the slave some benefits, but it's only one or twenty taels of silver, compared to the mother, that's far worse, the slave is afraid that she will have something to say to the mother, delaying the mother's big event, so he said back and forth." β
"Monkey, you're worried about the silver of the main palace again, aren't you?" Calmly took out a silver ticket from his sleeve and stuffed it into his belt, and said with a smile: "Lead the way ahead, since she wants to see me, then I will go to meet her, it's not a big deal, she can eat me." β
"I can't do that, I'm afraid of hurting you, and I'm now handcuffed and shackled." Gui Xi said.
Calm and a little unbearable, she sighed: "She's afraid that she is the first queen of the prison since the establishment of your execution department?" β
"No, there has been a queen, and then count, there has been a queen mother, in this palace, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don't look at the spring breeze now, maybe it will become a remnant in a few years."
Guixi's words blurted out, and he knew that it was inappropriate, so he smiled: "Niangniang is the phoenix among people, and her means are clever, and she will not fall behind." β
"Then maybe, if there is really that day, you can take care of this palace a lot, and this palace will also count the blood capital on you." Laughed calmly and self-deprecatingly.
Gui Xi knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he slapped himself, but fortunately he had already entered the execution department at this time, and he hurriedly ran to the front to open the cell door for Calm and lead her in.
Calm here, but familiar with the road, often come and go, even if the road is dark, but also move freely, and follow Guixi to the prison where Guan Rong is held.
Guan Rong was sitting in the corner with his knees bent, and when he heard the footsteps, he raised his head, and his pale and haggard face showed some anger.
Calmly asked Guixi to open the prison door, let her in, and ordered Guixi to remove the shackles on Guan Rong's body.
Guixi looked at her in embarrassment and refused to do anything.
Guan Rong laughed faintly, dragged the heavy shackles to the side of the prison door, and said in a dumb voice: "Why bother him, in case I really hurt you with bad intentions, he can't afford this crime." β
"You can't hurt me, we have the same strength, and if we want to hurt, we will hurt each other." He sighed calmly and sat cross-legged outside the cell door.
"Thank you for coming to see me." Guan Rong said.
Calmly beckoned to Guixi, who was standing on the side, and asked him to prepare some food and drinks.
Guixi agreed to go.
This Guan Rong began to cry: "Calm down, you're right, we're not hurting each other." β
"You can't blame me for your business, if you don't start, I won't follow, you treat me, it's your life and death, if I don't fight back, I'm the one who is locked up here today." Said calmly and seriously.
"I don't blame you, I can only blame myself, it's me who imagined all this too beautifully, and now I'm dying, only to understand that two people with different living circumstances really can't be together, even if you work hard, no matter how serious you are, no matter how infatuated you are, you can't resist the distance between two people.
It's not a distance you can overcome, you can only fall into the chasm of this distance and drown yourself. β
Guan Rong said in a desperate voice.
Her words were deep and difficult to understand, calm but understood, and nodded: "People always know how to cherish after loss, and only after frustration do they know how to summarize, this is not good, there is no chance to correct it." β
"Calm down, it's not that I haven't heard the allusion of why he doesn't eat minced meat, but I'm still too naΓ―ve, thinking that the emperor has been living in the harem, although it is a cold palace, but he is also a son who doesn't know the suffering of the people, I'm better than him, at least I have the opportunity to go to the street and see those poor people,
When I see them, I will do my best to help them, I have always demanded myself according to the standard of a queen, and I have only had such a beautiful dream in my life, the dream was beautiful at the beginning, but the ending was something I never imagined. Guan Rong burst into tears and whimpered.
Calm and speechless, I don't want to hurt her anymore.
She only realized now that it was really late.
She has always been on the high and has her self-righteous compassion for the poor, she has never suffered and does not really understand the suffering of the poor.
She was born to wear ten taels of silver and a foot of silk, how could she know what happened to those who were not clothed.
The fact that she can't be Zhang's queen doesn't mean that she's a bad person, it's just that she doesn't understand Zhang's mind.
She and Zhang seem to be of the same class, they are the right family, and they have always been two different people.
She is a flower produced in a greenhouse, delicate and tender, and she can't withstand the baptism of wind and rain, but the queen who needs Zhang needs is the wings of protection who can help him support this country.
Her family background is enough, but her experience is not enough.
"Calm down, I managed to love the wrong person in this life and was punished, so what about you? Do you love the right person? Do you love him? Are you fighting with me, just like me, because you love him? Guan Rong stared straight at the calm face, waiting for her answer.
Calm didn't answer her.
Playing feelings in the harem? That's crazy, whoever is serious loses.
Emperor Xian and Sima Nan, Emperor Xian was serious, but he lost and gave his life to Sima Nan, but he didn't get the result he wanted to see.
Kong Lingci and the first emperor, Kong Lingci is real, but he also lost, if she hadn't saved her, he would have been reincarnated long ago.
Between Zhang and her, Zhang is serious, so the one who loses must be Zhang.
Love can be had, but sometimes it is a sharp sword for both parties, whoever holds the hilt of the sword is the winner, stabbing the blade into the heart of the other party, seeing that he is bleeding and dripping.
Who knows who hurts, but the person holding the hilt of the sword always forgets the pain first, and may not feel the pain at all.
Calm is now the one holding the hilt of the sword, holding the initiative of feelings, but never paying for distress.
"Why don't you answer me? Are you scared? Are you afraid that I will lay a trap on you and tempt you to jump? Guan Rong said in a dumb voice.
"Guan Rong, you called me here just to ask me, how did you lose?" Calmly asked her.
Guan Rong shook his head, and a miserable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Wrong, of course I know how I lost, whoever is serious will lose, I am serious so I lost, the emperor is serious, so the emperor lost to you."
I asked you if you love the emperor, you just don't want to leave with regrets, at least let me be convinced that he fell in love with a woman who didn't love him at all, but gave up a woman who loved him deeply to the bone marrow, and he would regret it sooner or later.
I'm sure of that, then I'm dead to death. Guan Rong said.
