Chapter 50: Tell the Truth
The servant served the food and ate it calmly and slowly, but Guan Yong couldn't eat a bite, staring at the rice bowl in front of him in a daze.
"Guan Yong, you don't look like you have any spirit at all." Calmly said lightly: "There is no domineering spirit in the Ping'an Temple just now." ”
Guan Yong seemed to wake up from a dream, looked up at her, sighed, and wanted to speak but shut up.
"Obviously, the Nine Princes' desire to restore the throne is not strong, and the master you want to support does not seem to be dedicated." Said calmly.
"The arrow is already on the string, and he has to send it, although he is not satisfied, he does not refuse." Guan Yong replied in a low voice.
Calm and wanted to continue, Guan Yong interrupted her, pointed to a plate of fish on the table and said: "You taste this fish, you can't eat it in the palace, because there are many thorns, you don't dare to pay tribute to the emperor and the queen mother, but the taste is very delicious." ”
Calm was raising the spoon, the door was pushed open, and Sima Nan walked in with a cool breeze.
Seeing that he was calm, he was obviously taken aback, but he quickly cleaned up his surprised expression and became serious.
"The slave has seen the general." Calmly stand up and salute.
Sima Nan bowed slightly, no longer paid attention to her, came over and sat down beside Guan Yong, and asked softly: "Where will you go in the future, tell me, I will send guards to send you there, you know, you go out alone, I don't worry." ”
"The general has a lot of opportunities, so there is no need to bother the general about these trivial things like concubines, the concubines can do it alone, and they are accompanied by Leng Sishi." Guan Yong smiled.
Sima Nan lifted the chopsticks and put some dishes in the bowl in front of Guan Yong: "Do you still like these dishes?" I remember Jiang Ming said, you like to eat green leafy vegetables and mushroom soup, I specially asked the housekeeper to go to the suburbs to buy fresh from the farmers, it should taste good. ”
"Breakfast is also a vegetable, the general is not as considerate as he is now, tell me this." Guan Yong took a bite of food and said slowly.
Sima Nan snorted, licked his lips with the tip of his tongue, cleared his throat, and was speechless.
"General, madam, the slave is a little tired, take your leave first, and don't disturb your meal." Calmly get up and take your leave.
"General, please take calm to the customer in the back, the road is not easy to walk in the dark, you send her over, I am more relieved." Guan Yong looked up at Sima Nan.
Sima Nan nodded, got up silently, and made a gesture to calm down.
Calm and wanted to excuse himself, but he closed his mouth again and walked out with Sima Nan.
A girl beside Guan Yong crossed her hands nervously and whispered in her ear: "Miss is inappropriate, if this calmness confides the truth to Sima Nan, won't we all be finished?" ”
"She wouldn't, how could a person like her, who claims to be kind, betray me? She wouldn't have told the truth until she understood my struggle. ”
Guan Yong said as if desperate.
The girl who asked her lips pursed her lips, her face full of suspicion, obviously unable to believe that what she said was true.
"Ah, ma'am, Leng Si set the handkerchief on the chair, and I'll give it back to her." The girl picked up the handkerchief that had been calmly left behind, and said, without waiting for Yong to answer, and ran out.
As soon as Sima Nan came down the steps with calmness, the girl chased after her, waving a handkerchief in her hand, and shouted at Sima Nan: "General, Madame suddenly feels dizzy, come back and have a look." ”
Sima Nan swept back and hurried into the hall.
The girl shook the handkerchief in her hand and came to calm down.
"Bad comer?" Calmly looked at her face and sneered.
"If you dare to talk nonsense in front of the general, be careful of your life!" The girl raised her palm and made a murderous gesture around her neck.
Spread his hands calmly, and the curiosity in his eyes became even worse: "Who is the boss in your organization?" You? Or Aunt Zhou? Or is there someone else? ”
"Don't be nosy, if you want to save the dog's life, clamp your mouth, if you dare to talk nonsense, this is your end." The girl picked up a piece of gravel on the ground, held it in her hand, and then fell a piece of stone dust.
Calmly smacked her tongue, it seems that the organization led by the Nine Princes is also quite powerful, which makes her curious, since she is so powerful, when their mother and son were imprisoned that day, how did they not want to save them out, but asked her to find a way to rescue them.
"Master, honorable name?" Calmly grinning at the corners of his mouth, revealing a sneering smile, he asked.
"I'm Madame's personal maidservant, and you call me Snow Lotus." The girl said coldly.
Calmly nodded, and asked her again: "Then you take me to the guest room?" ”
Snow Lotus responded and walked forward.
"Xuelian, you are like some big things, you need a lot of funds, don't you?" Bypassing the main hall and entering the cloister at the back of the house, Calm suddenly asked.
Xue Lian paused, turned her head to look at her, and snorted, which was considered an answer.
Calmly retracted his hand into his sleeve and twisted it a few times, pulled out a few silver tickets, and handed them to her.
Xue Lian took two steps back, her eyes revealing a fierce light: "What do you want to do?" ”
"Silver tickets? You don't know? Actually, I don't want to do anything in the next place.,It's just a little determination to surrender to the next city.,If you're willing to take me in.,This thing.,There's something in the bottom.。 Calmly said.
Xue Lian looked at the number on the silver ticket, narrowed her eyes, and snorted again.
"To tell you the truth, when I was working as a laundry maid in the Huanyi Bureau, I accidentally found a secret room under the palace, where countless treasures and silver taels of the emperor of the previous dynasty were hidden.
Over the years, I have been trying to find a way to get out of the palace and go out of the palace to live a free life, but I have not been able to find a way to leave the palace.
Is it possible to pin this hope on you, and if you succeed in great things, then you can be regarded as a meritorious person below? ”
Calm down.
Snow Lotus snorted, but did not respond.
Behind them came Guan Yong's weak-sounding scream.
"Here I am, I'm asking what kind of flower is Snow Lotus? Smell the fragrance. Calmly beckoned to Guan Yong.
Guan Yong, with Sima Nan's support, approached slowly, and said with a smile: "If you like it, just pick a few and put them in the vase in the guest room, I thought about it, but I still don't worry about them sending you over, I know that you have a problem with choosing a seat, and you can't get used to sleeping on other people's bed, so I have to settle and let Xuelian go and get my bedding for you to sleep on." ”
"I want you to bother." Said calmly and politely.
"Xuelian, you go back with me, send the bunk over, and let the general send Leng Si to set it over." Guan Yong instructed Snow Lotus.
Snow Lotus responded and followed Guan Yong.
"Follow me." Sima Nan said calmly with a serious face.
Calmly glanced at him.
The pain in his eyes was clearly visible, and although he wanted to hide it, he couldn't.
"You coward, Jiang Ming committed suicide that day, why didn't you come to the rescue, if you did, he wouldn't die." Calmly whispered.
"I can't make a move, if I save Jiang Ming, it will be Guan Yong who will die, Jiang Ming would rather die by himself than let Guan Yong die, rather than let them both die, it is better to leave Guan Yong."
Sima Nandao.
"How do you know that Guan Yong will die?" Calmly asked unwillingly.
The pain in Sima Nan's eyes was even deeper, and his voice was low and he cried blood: "Because she is my brother's woman, if he can't kill my brother, he will kill my brother's woman, Jiang Ming's mistake is to be a brother with someone like me." ”
"Who is he? With your current power, will you be afraid of him? Calmly sneered.
"He is the saint today, and when Master Liao was alive, he warned me every day that in this world, I can disobey anyone, but I must not be disrespectful to the saint, and in this world I can send anyone to obey, but I must obey the words of the saint.
The Holy One is the dragon of heaven, and I am His dog who guards him on earth. A dragon is a dragon, a dog is a dog, and a dog should never want to be a dragon. ”
Sima Nan recited this passage like an endorsement.
Calmly sucked his nose.
Is this called brainwashing?
This girl has been brainwashed by his master since she was a child, right?
"Look at your dog-like appearance, it turns out that it doesn't have a mother's brain." Calm can't help but swear words.
"Whatever you say, you won't understand my pain." Sima Nan sighed.
"Yes, as a newborn human being, I really can't understand the feudal kingship in your mind and your so-called loyal and patriotic theory.
But what I can't figure out is that you are obviously a traitor who wants to usurp power and seize the throne, why do you still act like a loyal minister? ”
Calmly asked.
Sima Nan sat down on the railing of the cloister, his eyes on the vast night sky, and there was no response.
"Do you still love me?" Calmly approached him and asked him seriously.
Sima Nan stretched out his hand and stroked her hair, tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes, and his lips trembled slightly, but he couldn't make a sound.
"Does it still matter if you promise to elope with me?" Calmly asked again.
Sima Nan let tears flow down his cheeks, and his voice was hoarse: "Fool, don't ask anymore, don't count anything, you just treat me as if I didn't say anything." We never knew each other.
Before you knew me, you were doing well, weren't you? ”
"That is, in your mind, your brother Jiang Ming is much more important than me, a pink confidant, right?" Calm then asked.
Sima Nan shook his head without thinking.
"Then I understand, you left me not because you wanted to take care of Guan Yong, but because you were afraid of affecting me, didn't you?" Said calmly and seriously.
"Say, don't ask again, it's nothing, I just don't want to be sorry for Jiang Ming, Jiang Ming wants Guan Yong to marry me, he is not here now, I will marry Guan Yong, that's it." Sima Nan replied.
Haha, who was calm and expressionless, laughed twice, and shook his head: "What is it that makes you make up your mind to leave me?" Do you want to kill the people close to me? My friend or loved one? ”
"Calm down, don't you ask anymore, stay out of the way, isn't it? It's not necessarily a good thing for a woman to be too smart! Sima Nan said urgently.
"If you don't tell you, I'll check it myself, if that's the case, I may die faster, after all, your secret guards are limited, and I didn't keep an eye on it even when Guan Yong and I went to Ping'an Temple today, didn't I?" Calm down.
"Calm down, go back and rest, although I always think that what I did is not wrong, and I have a clear conscience, but after all, I hurt another group of people, and I think that my thoughts at that time were not wrong.
I just didn't expect that the emperor would become like this after he ascended the throne, and God would make people, what can I do with Sima Nan? Sima Nan said bitterly.
