Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Emperor
The group quickly dispersed.
Upstairs in the Silent Snow, the usual darkness and silence returned.
After making sure that there were no hidden guards around, the person who was carefully hidden on the beam of the house jumped down lightly and chased in the direction of Yin Shu.
She followed the footprints on the snow until she reached the outside of the West Pavilion.
Suddenly there was a white sky ahead.
As far as the eye could see, there were tall palace walls on all sides, and they were all covered with snow, but there was no trace of it, and just as she was wondering, a man's voice sounded above her head.
"What is the purpose of all this that you have worked so hard to arrange?"
"Who?!"
Suddenly, he was already standing in front of her, standing with his sword in his hand, his face cold and resolute.
"Glass?" Yin Shu's eyes were cold, "What do you want to do with your painstaking efforts to deceive this king and create all this tonight?" ”
"Liared to you? Your mother is indeed dead! ”
His hand was stunned, the knuckles of his fingers turned white, and he tightly pinched the Qingshuang Sword in his hand, and slowly released it.
"But it wasn't killed by the Hidden Queen."
"You just believe in her like that? Just by her few innocuous words? ”
The man in front of him shook his head.
"I don't believe her, but I doubt you even more."
Liuli's heart tightened, but the tone of voice when he spoke was still very confident, "You took the person away, and the letter was also written by you, what does it have to do with me?" ”
"Oh? Is it? ”
He approached step by step, "The palace man who took care of the baby, why did you kill her?" Create a bloody illusion, excite them, and then we kill each other? ”
The woman's eyes flickered in front of her.
She took a few steps back, her hands trembling.
"When Emperor Yin talked about it, I was very puzzled, thinking back to everything that happened recently, it seemed that there was a strange ...... everywhere"
"First I was imprisoned, my mother died tragically one after another, and then I was in the smoker, and I happened to find the mandala, and the palace people next to the baby......"
"You say, is all this strange?"
The woman bit her lip stubbornly.
The person in front of her, she knows too well, according to his character, at any time, she will end her life!
Her eyes were stained with a hint of fear, watching his approaching body, constantly staggering back.
"Don't come here!"
A mocking smile appeared on his face, and in a flash he stepped forward, wrapped his arms around her waist, and brought his face closer and said:
"I heard that you approached Yumen Xuan before and wanted to be the third princess, so tonight...... I'll let you get what you want...... It's just that this position, I'm afraid no one wants to sit now. ”
The face, looking at her up close, grabbed her by the throat.
"You're all bastards!"
Tears streamed down her cheeks, and her entire body trembled with fear.
"What? Before I regret it, don't tell me your true purpose? ”
“……”
Her lips turned pale, her voice was miserable and mournful, and she wept lowly.
"I'm your sister."
Almost at the same time, the hands suddenly let go of her like an electric shock.
"What?!"
Yin Shu half-squinted his eyes and looked coldly at the person in front of him.
"You explain clearly, otherwise I won't let you go tonight."
"You're all demons!"
I don't know how long it took, she gradually raised her head, the shallow fat powder on her face had been washed away by tears, and the wet fine hair on her forehead was instantly covered with snow, and her eyes were full of crystal.
After a long time, her emotions calmed down.
A pair of bloodshot eyes, with a moist unwillingness, looked at the man in front of him and spoke slowly.
"Concubine Jiang back then, do you remember?"
Hearing the word "Concubine Jiang", his eyes flickered, and his eyes were faint.
"Are you a child?"
The woman lowered her head, "For so many years, I have lived a life that is worse than death, all thanks to you!" ”
"Tut-tut", Yin Shu's eyes were disdainful, and he said lightly, "Zhiyuan is good in the palace, I only went to see her last month, do you want to lie, don't make up a better reason?" ”
"Humph!"
"Do you really believe that fool is the emperor? The people of the Yin family have always been vicious, don't you feel ashamed to keep her? ”
Those eyes stared at him with endless hatred.
"Back then, you destroyed my mother's concubine, and you kept this scourge, not afraid that she would seek revenge on the murderer in the future?"
Yin Shu looked at her and was silent for a long time.
After a long time, there was a little sadness in his eyes.
"Yin, it's also your last name."
"Nope! My surname is Jiang! ”
"But when Concubine Jiang hurt people back then, she never thought about you."
"Shut up! My mother, it's your turn to discuss? ”
"I'm telling the truth."
"No...... You don't understand, living in this harem and being trampled on every day...... Those days, you won't understand! ”
Yin Shu suddenly remembered himself.
Even though he is the third prince of Da Yin, he is extremely talented, talented, and has the blessing of the Song family's mother's family, even if his maternal grandfather is the benefactor of the first emperor, but so what?
Father's ...... How could you ever truly love him?
"I understand you."
Ruri burst into tears and shook her head secretly.
After a while, the hatred finally faded, and she closed her eyes weakly, her tone flat and detached.
"One day, you'll understand."
With that, she moved her steps, half-leaning on the palace wall, and slowly walked westward.
Looking at her distant figure, Yin Shu's eyes were very lonely.
"I've lost too many loved ones."
"You really don't understand."
Heavy snow fell on him, from his long black hair to his thin shoulders.
On the moon-white silk robe, it was finally white.
The figure in the distance slowly walked to the West Pavilion.
Walking to a familiar place, she dragged her stumbling body and gently pushed the door open.
In the silent air, there was a low "squeak" sound.
"Are you there?"
No one answered.
She closed the door with her hand, and the room was suddenly dark, and after a long time, she could see the folded quilt clearly by the faint light outside the window lattice.
The cold and frightened, coupled with the onset of old diseases, made her whole body weak.
Ruri kept muttering to herself.
In that mind, the scene of her childhood kept coming to mind, like a sharp knife cut, making her whole face painfully twisted together.
She climbed onto the bed, tugged at the quilt, and curled up in a ball.
"Heavy guards!"
"It's time for you to change shifts, the palace has not been peaceful recently, so be cautious!"
"Yes, subordinates remember!"
A few pairs of feet stepped on the heavy snow and "crunched" away.
He pushed open the door, vaguely aware that there was someone in the room, so he was very cautious, held his breath with his internal force, and punched in the direction of the panting child!
Just as I was about to put it on, a familiar smell hit me.
"Li'er?"
Hearing that no one answered, he took out the fire fold and blew it on the ground with a "whew".
The surroundings became bright.
When I approached the bed, I saw that her cheeks were pale and cold sweat was frequent, as if she was seriously ill.
The man's eyes were half joyful and half distressed.
"Li'er, why are you here?"
At the same time, she bit her lip desperately, blood oozing from her broken skin, and he felt a cold chill when it touched her fingertips.
He lit the lamp, but the man on the couch stopped him: "Don't ...... Don't light ...... lights."
"It's okay, there's no one in this courtyard tonight, I'll see where your injuries are."
As he spoke, he was going to touch the fire breaker again.
As if sensing his movements, the woman burst out with a low exclamation from her chest: "Don't ...... Don't, please...... Chongye, don't light the fire, I'm afraid of the light, don't light the fire......"
"Okay, okay, let's not order."
"Li'er, if you hold on, I'll send you internal force."
"No, I'll just rest by myself."
“…… Well. ”
With his fingers interlocked, he patted her gently on the back like a baby, patient and gentle.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Perhaps feeling the warmth, Ruri's uneasiness gradually subsided, and her mind slowly deepened, and she fell asleep in a daze.
Outside, the snow was falling heavier and heavier, and the sound of clattering branches was constantly heard.
