Chapter 6: Asahari's Past
"Eight years ago, I was the princess's personal attendant, and the princess brought back the lady from nowhere, and the lady was pregnant when she entered the mansion, and gave birth to the young master seven months later, which made the princess feel that her position was threatened. So she sent me to serve Lady White to get something that would bring her down. β
Su Liu never thought that her aunt was the princess's person, because she could feel from her aunt's usual words and deeds that her aunt hated Yanchun Garden.
"But Madame is kind to me, and even if she knew that I was a person sent by the princess, she never meant me to me, and treated me not like a slave but a friend.
I was touched in my heart, but I always remembered that I was the princess. Fortunately, Mrs. is a decent person and has never done anything that makes people criticize, and I tell the princess the truth every time I say no.
But once, it was on the night after the festival, I wanted to go out because I wanted to go to the toilet and open the door, but when I opened the door a little bit, I saw a black shadow jumping into the middle of the yard, it was a white tiger, and then gradually chased... It gradually changed into the appearance of a woman, and in the middle of the night, I could not see the appearance of the woman clearly, and the woman stood up and went straight to the lady's room. I was so frightened that I retreated into my room, wondering if I should tell the princess.
A few days after I hesitated, I received a letter from home saying that my father was seriously ill in bed and asked for money for treatment. I had no choice, so I told the princess about it, and got a gold ingot and a precious embroidered bag, and when a gold ingot was enough at home, I left the embroidered bag, pinned to my waist. When the princess learned about it, she didn't say anything or do anything, but I always had some faint regret and uneasiness in my heart.
A month later, it was as if it hadn't happened, with no other consequences. My heart also let go, Mrs. is not any different, treat me very well, often make delicious food for me and the young master to eat, at that time the pear garden on the three of us, before the prince said that he wanted to give Mrs. a few people, Mrs. shirked and did not want to, saying that she was a mountain woman, not used to being served. And I, the princess almost forcibly stuffed it into her wife.
The lady is kind and warm, and the young master is a lively and lovely child. Madame taught the young master how to read and write, and how to behave, and I listened to the chores on the side. When the prince did not come to the garden to eat, the lady also asked me to go to the table with her and the young master to eat, I did not dare at first, and then a few times, I couldn't help the lady's request and served the table, and I slowly got used to it.
There, I felt the warmth of home, freedom, and being treated as equals.
But suddenly, the lady's body became worse and worse, the whole person was very weak, the whole person was soft, and the prince couldn't find out the reason when he called the imperial doctor. The lady could only lie on the bed, but she did not give up the teaching of the young master, and sent someone to move the bed to the window, so that the light was good enough to read, and called the young master to the bedside to teach. The young master has learned enough, and goes out to play in the yard, she props up from time to time and peeks out of the window to look at the young master gently.
The young master originally slept with his wife, but after his wife fell ill, he was afraid that the illness would infect the young master, so he assigned the young master to another room to sleep by himself. The young master obediently and skillfully did not make trouble, but he was still not used to and afraid, and asked me to sleep for the first few days, and then I was able to sleep alone after getting used to it. β
Su Liu always looked indifferent when he remembered that childish face, and it was hard to imagine how scared he looked.
"But who knows, the next morning when I don't keep the young master, I went to prepare for the young master's washing, the young master got up, and I was so frightened that the things in my hands were scattered all over the ground.
The young master's black hair, overnight, turned white, and it was terrifying.
I hurriedly wrapped the young master from head to toe with the quilt, and took him to find the lady.
But who knows, as soon as I opened the door, there was a commotion outside the pear orchard, and many people poured into the garden..."
Luo Jing paused, and a little tear glistened in his eyes.
"Later, laterβ" Luojing's voice was hoarse.
"Later, the lady was killed alive by the princess."
Su Liu's brows jumped when he heard this, and his heart couldn't help twitching.
"Those who poured in were all Taoist priests, and they dragged Madame out of the house without saying a word, and snatched the young master from my hand. surrounded the young master and the lady in the middle, and the lady trembled and hugged the young master tightly.
I saw the prince and the princess standing at the door, watching.
The princess said, Lord Wang, you see, the slut is a goblin, I asked Luojing to bring the demon medicine with the master, the slut couldn't detect it, and he was weak when he heard it. The master calculated that today the son of evil will begin to appear in his original form, and his gray hair is the evidence.
The prince was expressionless and did not speak. I only heard the princess say a move next to her.
The water in the Taoist priest's hand and the wine in his mouth were all sprayed towards the lady and the young master. Madame hugged the young master tightly, and everything was blocked by her.
I went to kowtow to the princess and beg for mercy, begging the princess to bypass Madame, but Madame did not do anything unreasonable.
The princess smiled, and I could feel her sarcasm, and she said that she was a goblin, and whether she did it or not, she was a bad thing, and she had to die. She's like this, and you're a hero, aren't you?
The guards next to me stepped forward and dragged me aside and escorted me like a prisoner.
And then those masters, with the magic weapons in their hands, whips, sticks, swords... Towards the lady.
The lady endured it without saying a word, protecting the young master, and looking at the prince deadly.
The funny thing is that the prince did not say a word from the beginning to the time when his wife was killed.
Madame was killed, and those people tried to pull the young master out of her arms, but they couldn't pull it out. Someone wielded a knife and tried to cut off Madame's arm.
Just listen to the prince whispering next to him, don't do anything to the young master, just lock him up in the pear orchard.
Madame Bai's arm suddenly loosened, and the mage beside her pulled the young master out of her arms, and Madame lay on the ground, gradually turning into a white tiger.
The prince saw that his eyes were red, and he immediately slapped the princess.
The princess covered her face and looked at the young master and wanted to say something to the prince, but the prince waved his hand but didn't want to listen to it anymore.
Everyone stared, not knowing what to do, the prince finally ordered those Taoist priests to seal the young master in the main courtyard of Luoli Garden, not to let the young master come out, and to threaten my family's life I am not allowed to tell others about this, let me take care of the young master. In the next five years, I don't know what the princess said to the princess, and the princess did not move the pear orchard again. But a few days ago, she was like crazy, and she forced me to talk about the young master's affairs over the years. I don't say it, but I take away my clothes and receive the rod. β
After hearing this, Su Liu was frightened at first, firstly, because she knew a terrible secret, a secret that could kill the entire palace!
The patron saint of Zhaoguo is the White Tiger, because the priest who assisted the emperor to open the country is the incarnation of the white tiger, and the priest does not admire fame and fortune, but he shows his divine power on the battlefield to help the emperor fight, and tells everyone that the emperor is the son of the Mandate of Heaven to win the hearts of the people and is the first hero to start the country. In order to reward his merits and show respect, the emperor ordered a ban on the hunting of white tigers.
The princess did this, although she said that she was a spirit, but maybe she was a white tiger fairy? killed an ordinary white tiger, and in fact, the princess let people kill the white tiger, and the prince was also an arsonist, and he couldn't escape, but this crime was to connect the nine clans. Now, the prince is imprisoning the young master, and he is deceiving the king!
The royal family is extremely noble and glorious, and the life of ordinary people is many times better, but the heartfelt means are also many times more ruthless than ordinary people.
The princess knew in advance that it was a white tiger, and she dared to kill the killer, which was really bold. But it's not without reason that she's bold. Behind her is the only family of the royal family, the Liang family. The Liang family was also the hero of the founding of the country, second only to the priests in merit. After the founding of the country, many people who followed the emperor at that time were killed and exiled, but the Liang family was safe and stable and was not moved by the emperor. The family has experienced the baptism of dynasties for hundreds of years, which does not need to be revealed, everyone knows that it has capital. The princess's courage came out of her childhood, and she was born as the eldest daughter, and her illustrious family was the best shield for her to escape from responsibility after committing murder.
"Oh, you see me like this, I really feel that I deserve it. If it weren't for me, Madame wouldn't be so miserable. I shouldn't have told the princess, I deserved to die. Luo Jing smiled bitterly.
"Little Liu, you will go to live in the main courtyard in the future and take care of the young master wholeheartedly." Luojing looked at Su Liu and said suddenly.
Su Liu, nothing is outstanding, that's why she chose her in the first place, and after getting along, she can feel Su Liu's kindness. It is impossible for her to take care of the young master to Zhiluo, although Zhiluo has been in the pear orchard for a longer time than Su Liu, but Luojing knows it very well in her heart, Zhiluo thinks in her heart that it is to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, and she doesn't have this mind at all.
After the princess looked for her today, she always had a hunch that she would not live long, she could only give the young master to Su Liu's care now, and the branches would be unreliable, and only Xiaoliu and the young master would be left to support each other in the future, and the young master was also seventeen years old, and the young master who was a little richer would be equipped with a personal maid.
"Okay." Su Liu thought of the slender figure, obviously without much personnel but pretending to be sophisticated, and his heart was full of pity, and the ghost made God respond to it.
In the main room of Yanchun Garden, there is only Liang Shuyi in the huge room, dressed in light gauze and thin wisps, so not enchanting. After carefully examining his face in front of the bronze mirror. She walked slowly to the bed, and opened the curtains, only to see a man lying lazily inside, dressed in a black robe, with his face in shadow.
Liang Shuyi reached into the black robe with her hand and exhaled like an orchid.
"Your Excellency."
"Huh? Is the woman I saw yesterday the one who has been in charge of my nephew? β
"Yes, sir."
"Did you ask something?"
"Hmph, that cheap maid's mouth is so hard, wolf-hearted and dog-hearted thing, I don't know what benefits the woman Chaowu gave her, I ask her every year, but that refuses to confide in Chaoyuli a word." Liang Shuyi said ruthlessly, but the movements of her subordinates were gentle.
"Huh." The man chuckled, raised his hand to stop Liang Shuyi's movements, and sat up.
Liang Shuyi was unhappy in her heart, but she was still smiling on her face, and the rejected hand probed again, and was stopped by the man again.
"What I asked you to do, you didn't do it, huh?"
"My lord~" Liang Shuyi shouted delicately, mixed with a hint of panic.
"It's disgusting, you look like a forty-year-old woman in my eyes." The man said in disgust, took out a small medicine bottle from his arms and threw it on the ground casually, Liang Shuyi immediately went over to pick it up, and did not see the usual dignified and extravagant.
Liang Shuyi opened the vial and sat in front of the dresser, and a disgusting black reptile like a cockroach crawled from the mouth of the bottle to Liang Shuyi's hand, and the two long tentacles shook gently.
Liang Shuyi carefully sent the reptile to her face like a treasure, the reptile stopped and walked on her face, Liang Shuyi clenched her fists, her nails sank into the flesh, and she endured the stinging and burning sensation on her face.
In the bronze mirror, her appearance changed, and as the reptile stopped, there was a young and delicate face that was fair and delicate before, and then a weeping old woman with many ravines.
After the crawler slowly entered her mouth, Liang Shuyi immediately fell to the ground and rolled, screaming and moaning, and the man looked coldly on the bed.
After a while, Liang Shuyi spit out the reptile, only to feel that the energy on her body seemed to be a little more abundant, and the reptile that was spit out was sticky, with its feet facing the sky, struggling a few times, and then losing its vitality.
Liang Shuyi was busy sitting in front of the dresser looking at her face, which was a little more moisturized than before, her heart was happy, she turned her head to look at the bed, there was no trace of that person, and she didn't care, she cleared her throat and called Chunliu, who was waiting outside, to come in and serve her.
Without waiting for Liang Shuyi's instructions, Chunliu consciously took out a handkerchief and picked up the reptiles on the ground, opened a jade box, and saw that there were also several reptile corpses inside, and put the reptiles in his hand.
"Has Dao Chang Yu returned to the royal city?" Liang Shuyi asked while looking at herself in the mirror.
"Feng Guard said, not yet." Chunliu pinched the corner of the handkerchief and stood aside and replied.
"Why hasn't Dao Chang Yu returned for two years, and it's useless to invite him?"
"There's no reply."
"That's it."
Liang Shuyi was looking forward to Yu Daochang's return, just to see what this worm was about.
How could she be willing to be manipulated by others.
