249 Night visit to Huaqing Palace

At night, Ruotang and the little princess lay in the same bed. Purple O Pavilion io

The little princess leaned on her shoulder and rubbed it affectionately, her fingers still clasping Ruotang's fingers.

She had slept for a long time during the day, so she naturally couldn't sleep at this time. Ruotang didn't urge her, and quietly lay down with her. When she wanted to speak. Just say a few words to her.

The little princess has been intentionally or unintentionally avoiding talking about the day of the poisoning, Ruotang didn't mention it, and the two seemed to have forgotten about it at the same time.

"Sister Shen, how long can you stay in the palace?"

"Well, when you don't need me." Ruotang replied to her when she heard the voice.

"You're so nice." The little princess curled her slightly blood-colored lips and smiled.

Ruotang looked down at her innocent smile and smiled.

After a while, the little princess bit her lip and asked softly, "Sister Shen, do you remember your mother?" How old were you when she was gone? ”

Ruotang thought for a while, shook his head and said, "She was gone when I was very young, and I don't remember much, but I remember that she loves to laugh very much." Whether happy or painful, she always smiled. ”

She hadn't thought of her mom in a long time.

When she was very young, her mother got seriously ill and left her. She didn't remember what she looked like, she didn't remember how many things she had done to warm her, but her mother always smiled, even when she was skinny and couldn't straighten her waist. Never complained.

Ruotang couldn't help but smile when he thought of her, "She told me not to be stingy in any sad or happy moments. Because a smile is the most beautiful thing in the world. Not only can warm yourself. It can also warm others. She said that life is so short, we should be a warm person. ”

The little princess listened carefully and exclaimed, "Your mother is a good person, no wonder Sister Shen is so good." ”

"I'm not good enough." On such a night, suddenly remembering the dusty past, Ruotang couldn't help but feel a little sentimental.

"Has your mother ever hugged you or kissed you?" The little princess asked again.

"Yes." When her body can bear the load, her mother has also hugged her and kissed her.

The little princess's eyes immediately swelled with envy, "My mother." She never hugged me or kissed me. ”

She sighed and slowly lowered her head to look at her fingers, "The mother concubine is very good to me on the face, and she is good to everyone. But I know she doesn't like me. I remember when I was about three years old, it was very cold in the winter, and the Queen's family came to the palace to say goodbye, and the nurse was holding me to play by the lake, and when the Queen's family passed by us, the nurse threw me into the lake. ”

Ruotang's eyebrows jumped, and he tried to say in a relaxed tone: "Three years old? Do you remember what happened at that time? I can't, I probably can't remember anything before I was seven or eight years old. ”

The little princess raised her eyes to look at her, and hooked her lips without a smile, "Yes, they all think I'm small, and I can't remember it." That time I lay in bed for three days before I became conscious, and I heard the nurse crying beside me, crying and saying, how can the concubine be so ruthless, such a small child. He also said that she didn't want to throw me down, and she didn't dare not listen to the orders of the concubine. ”

She paused, and then subconsciously smiled, "Later, the queen's family never entered the palace again." ”

Ruotang didn't speak, but gently rubbed the top of her head with his chin to show reassurance.

"Sister Shen, why do you say that the concubine doesn't like me?"

Ruotang is speechless, how can she answer such a question? She thought for a moment before she spoke: "In this world, there is a kind of people, they are very selfish, that is, they love no one except themselves, and even their children can be used as bargaining chips or tools in exchange for benefits---- do you understand when I say this?" ”

"That's the kind of person the mother is, isn't she?" The little princess raised her eyes to look at Ruotang, her big eyes were full of clear tears, "She doesn't love me, and she doesn't love Seventh Brother, right?" "Ya Yin Dong carried.

Ruotang was slightly surprised, "You know that your seventh brother is ......"

"You see, you all treat me as children." The little princess laughed with tears, "I secretly heard my father talking to my mother, I know that Seventh Brother is a child born to her mother, not the deceased Concubine Liang, I know it." ”

"It's amazing." Ruotang praised her and said, "It's good that you don't know about this matter, don't talk about it to others again, okay?" ”

"Well, I won't say anything, I'll just tell you." The little princess nodded vigorously and reassured, and then asked, "Why is the mother concubine like that?" ”

The little princess is simply a hundred thousand whys, every question Ruotang has to think about before she can answer her, for fear of accidentally misleading her, "How to say, people who know your mother, they all say that she used to be innocent and kind, a very cute person." But then a lot of things happened, and those things were beyond the scope of what she could bear, one after another, which made her very sad. At this time, some people will continue to choose kindness, but some people will feel that it is better to bear the world than to let others hurt me and let others bear me...... That's probably what it means, you know? ”

"The concubine has become the latter kind of person, right?"

"Well," Ruotang nodded, "Actually, your mother, she is also a poor person." ”

"Mother, she is a terrible person." The little princess has a different opinion, "She lies, deceives, and harms people---- maybe someone broke her heart before, but she can hate the person who broke her heart, why harm innocent people?" Sister Shen, you have never harmed her, but why should she harm you? In order to harm you, she used me, even my life can be ignored, how terrible she is! ”

Ruotang's eyes widened in surprise, "Who told you this?" ”

"No one told me that I figured it out on my own these days." The little princess smiled again, but the smile was bitter and ethereal, "It is not my father who knows that my aunt has recognized her daughter, but my mother." The sapphire head I gave you was something I begged her many times and she didn't give it to me, and she knew that I would love it when I saw it. beat me to run errands because she already knew that my aunt's daughter-in-law was you, and she knew that I was good with you. And that morning, she said it was too late and didn't let me be full, she knew I would be hungry...... Everything that day was premeditated by her, right? It's not you, it's not anyone, it's my mother. If something happens to me, you won't survive. If you had eaten it at the time, you would have been poisoned just like me. So, the real person she wants to hurt is you, right? ”

Ruotang didn't expect that such a small child, just based on these clues, would peel off a truth, looking at the little princess's crying look, Ruotang hugged her shoulder, "You're right, I'm the one who tired you." ”

"Not really." The little princess retorted with a crying voice, "Obviously it has nothing to do with you...... But why, she doesn't like me, and if she doesn't love me, why can she bear it and want to kill me? ”

"Sometimes, to achieve something, you have to pay a price." Ruotang didn't want to coax her blindly, but tried his best to tell her in a tactful way what the bad guy Shuguifei thought, "You can understand that in order to take my life, you are the price she has to pay." ”

"That's what I thought, too." The little princess unexpectedly didn't cry or be disappointed, she even smiled, "Actually, I found many reasons for her, but I know that no matter what the reason, she always chose to abandon me." She is my mother after all, and I don't want to hate her for it, but I probably won't be able to see her again. ”

……

After being a bosom sister all night, the little princess finally fell asleep.

Ruotang was tired and had no other thoughts, and was about to close her eyes and sleep together, when the candlelight at the bedside flickered, and a shadow of smoke appeared in front of her unconsciously.

She looked at the man who appeared without saying hello with a numb face, and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing here when you don't sleep in the middle of the night?" ”

Seeing her so cautious for fear of waking up the little princess, Chu Qianlan clicked her long finger twice and pointed it on the little princess's sleeping hole, and then said slowly: "Of course, it's to find you to sleep!" ”

Ruotang endured his blushing face, his so-called sleep, of course, will not be just sleeping! "Is there no one outside? You're so loud, aren't you afraid of others hearing it? ”

Chu Qianlan thought she was too wordy, "What are you afraid of, why don't you hurry up and come over to me?" ”

After that, he glared at the innocent little princess unhappily, "It's been a day, and it's my turn." ”

Ruotang: "......"

Is he here to grab a toy?

"Let's go, I'll take you somewhere first." After that, he scooped Ruotang out of bed, and without making a sound under his feet, he jumped out of the open window with her ease.

"It's so late, let's go back to sleep." She would rather be tossed by him than hide in Tibet at night to see something, and looking at this familiar route, it is clear that she is going to Huaqing Palace.

She is not ready to face Concubine Shu without losing her temper, so she met Concubine Shu rashly, what if she couldn't help it?

Chu Qianlan really stopped, struggled between going back to toss Ruotang and going to see the excitement, and then continued to walk forward, "After watching the excitement, go back to sleep." ”

Ruotang: "...... Is there enough time? ”

She didn't want to wake up from Chu Qianlan's bed in the morning and surprise someone's eyes again, when her father-in-law seemed to have a little change in his opinion of her, it would not be good to say anything ugly.

Although Ruotang didn't want to please his old man, he definitely didn't want to make people angry.

Who's going to be okay with people? It's not that you're full.

Chu Qianlan couldn't help but smile and glanced at her tangled expression, "At most, I'll be faster?" ”

Ruotang couldn't bear to scratch his claws, and glared at him with angry cheeks.

Chu Qianlan kissed her impatiently, and really quickened her pace.

Ruotang was held in his arms, feeling as if he was about to fly, adjusting his breathing as he ran and jumped, and sure enough, soon, Huaqing Palace appeared in sight.

Chu Qianlan should have explored the route a long time ago, and she didn't need to observe and observe, and kept running towards Huaqing Palace.

There are many people inside and outside the Huaqing Palace, Ruotang doesn't know if it is the manpower arranged by Baili Huang or the arrangement of Concubine Shu herself. Without waiting for her to ask, Chu Qianlan had successfully avoided everyone and put her down.

Ruotang took a closer look at the palace lamp under the eaves, this is the back garden of Shuguifei with countless rare flowers.

Chu Qianlan led her forward, and as soon as she approached the window, a figure turned out of the shadow next to the carved pillar diagonally.

Ruotang was so frightened by his sudden appearance that his little heart trembled, but fortunately he didn't exclaim.

Chu Qianlan seemed to know that she was taken aback, so she rubbed the back of her hand with her thumb and glared at the man.

Zhu Nineteen was stared at because he didn't know it, and he was nailed to the spot aggrievedly, and he didn't dare to approach.

It wasn't until Chu Qianlan waved at him impatiently that he ran over happily and silently with the small broken steps unique to eunuchs.

Ruotang really felt so happy that he couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth.

Seeing her smile, Chu Qianlan's eyes when she looked at Zhu Nineteen were finally less fierce, "How ......is it inside?"

Before the words fell, he heard a muffled sound of "bang" from the hall, and then the angry scream of Concubine Shu rang out, ", who allowed you to come in!" Someone, drag out the palace, and beat them to death! ”

Followed by the desperate begging for mercy of the little palace maid, but it was soon dragged down, followed by the sound of the stick hitting the flesh and body, the little palace maid seemed to be gagged, and still made a whining sound, and not long after, the little palace maid was silent, and the sound of the stick also stopped.

"Niangniang, don't be angry, that has been disposed of." The old woman's voice trembled.

There was no sound in the room for a long time.

Ruotang couldn't help but look at Chu Qianlan, and after Chu Qianlan made a silent gesture to her, she jumped with her, jumped on the beam under the eaves, and raised her finger to point to a small round hole in the wall that she couldn't see if she didn't jump so high.

Without waiting for him to speak, Ruotang had already curiously put his eyes together.

There were not a few lights in the room, the light seemed a little dim, and in the dim light, facing away from Ruotang was a figure dressed in gorgeous palace clothes, but full of dazzling white.

Ruotang couldn't see her face, and naturally he couldn't see her expression, and the faces of the two old grandmothers next to her who were shivering in cold sweat were full of horror.

"Mama, why do you say this?" For a long time, Concubine Shu's voice was cold as if it came from hell, "Why did I become like this?" It's not me, it's definitely not me! Who is it, who the hell is this! ”

Her voice suddenly became sharp and poignant again, and she grabbed the thing in her hand and smashed it against the wall, with a few crisp sounds, and the diorama was smashed to pieces!

She also stood up suddenly, and turned to stare at the old woman who was trembling on her knees.

Ruotang finally saw her appearance clearly, Rao was mentally prepared, and couldn't help but gasp.
