Chapter 49: Kong Ming's Lantern Wish
Xun Xuan's ears could faintly hear a miserable cry coming from the darkness not far away, the cry was terrifying, making Xun Xuan's hair stand on end involuntarily.
"Let's go!" Xun Xuan pulled Fu Rongrong up and continued to run forward.
……
The two returned to the house panting, and the people in the house waited for a long time, the lights around them became brighter, and there were more people, so the two of them were a little relieved.
"Zhu Wei and An Sheng are so bold, they dare to kill people in such a grand manner, aren't they afraid that the emperor will find out and punish them?" Fu Rongrong exhaled lightly, and her mind calmed down a little.
Xun Xuan was silent for a long time, until the subordinates were dismissed by Fu Rongrong again, and then she said loudly: "I figured everything out." ”
Fu Rongrong frowned, and looked at Xun Xuan seriously: "What do you say?" ”
Xun Xuan pursed her lips a little dry, and then slowly spoke: "That letter was indeed written by An Sheng, and my father was forced to death by An Sheng." ”
As she spoke, her hands trembled uncontrollably, her arms were bruised, and her bright face was as cold as frost.
Fu Rongrong looked at Xun Xuan's painful appearance full of hatred, and only felt helpless in her heart, and comforted her: "I know that you are bent on revenge, and my cousin will help you whenever you want, I just ask you to treat it calmly and not be rash." ”
Xun Xuan raised her eyes and looked at Fu Rongrong seriously, her usually resolute and deep eyes were full of anger and unwillingness at this moment, tears overflowed her eyes, and she said in a hoarse voice: "I know, it's because I know, so I've been enduring it all along, I just want to keep my life and avenge all of them, but ...... Whenever I see Zhu Wei and An Sheng's smug faces, I hate to cut them with a thousand knives! ”
"Cousin, can you understand this pain? Hatred weighs on my heart all the time, making me breathless, but I have to endure it every day, pretending that nothing has happened, and making a false deal with the enemy. ”
"Ah Zhi, my cousin understands your pain, and my cousin also wants to bring them to justice as soon as possible, but the current situation is complicated, and we must think about it in the long run." Fu Rongrong looked at Xun Xuan distressedly, even if she was as casual as her, the current situation could not allow them to come nonsense.
Xun Xuan and Fu Rongrong are very clear about this.
After a long time, Xun Xuan and Fu Rongrong gradually calmed down from Fang Cai's affairs.
Xun Xuan also regained her former composure.
Fu Rongrong thought for a moment, turned around and pulled Xun Xuan, and said cautiously: "Ah Zhi, after today, Ansheng will definitely be suspicious of you, you must be more careful!" ”
Xun Xuan bowed slightly, and a touch of gloom flashed in her cold eyes: "Even if An Sheng suspects me, he won't do anything to me in Anfu, otherwise how can outsiders arrange him?" Don't worry, I'm the safest in Anfu. ”
Xun Xuan said this, Fu Rongrong gradually let go of her heart, called her subordinates to bathe the two of them in wide clothes, and prepared to go to the bed to rest.
Xun Xuan and Fu Rongrong bathed at the same time, and there was a screen between the two of them in the bathtub, and they could talk through the screen.
During the bathing process, Fu Rongrong was afraid that Xun Xuan would not be able to think of herself and embarrass herself, so she had been talking with Xun Xuan about some things.
But Xun Xuan didn't say a word from beginning to end, and the whole person fell into an extreme dullness, she was thinking about who sent the killers who killed her tonight.
If you want to take revenge, you must first learn to protect yourself.
Xun Xuan guessed that if this group of people couldn't kill her once, they would find a way to assassinate her a second time, but now she didn't even know who the other party was, which obviously put her at a disadvantage.
Xun Xuan did not allow such a disadvantage to continue.
After taking a bath, the two went to the bed to rest.
Fu Rongrong knew that Xun Xuan was not sleeping, the two of them had their own thoughts, and the room was full of silence.
After a while, Xun Xuan suddenly figured out something, and suddenly sat up from the couch.
Fu Rongrong was taken aback by Xun Xuan's sudden move, and hurriedly sat up and asked, "Ah Zhi, what's wrong?" ”
Xun Xuan raised her eyes slightly, and her face returned to her gentle smile in the past: "Cousin, can you help me find a Kong Ming lantern?" ”
Fu Rongrong was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Xun Xuan was looking for Kong Ming lanterns, but she didn't ask more, just said: "Yungui Temple has the custom of putting Kong Ming lanterns to pray for blessings, and there must be these things in the treasury, so I will order someone to go to the temple to find some." ”
Xun Xuan smiled and hugged Fu Rongrong obediently: "Thank you, cousin, for your trouble." ”
"What stupid things are you talking about? What's not to trouble with me? Fu Rongrong smiled and reached out to touch Xun Xuan's forehead.
……
At midnight, the lights in Zhu Zixuan's house were still bright.
Zhu Zixuan stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the rows of corpses in the courtyard, some of them were burned to death, and there was a smell of scorching on their bodies, and some of them were killed by swords, covered in blood, in short, they all died tragically.
Zhu Zixuan's face was already gloomy to the extreme, and a little servant explained beside him: "Master, these are all corpses that have just been turned out of the soil in the back mountains, and the other party is obviously a veteran and knows how to hide corpses." ”
Zhu Zixuan stretched out his hand and pinched his eyebrows, and the anger on his face couldn't be hidden: "It's just a stinky girl who has not dried up, and she actually broke so many of you, what's the use of the Taishi Mansion raising you waste?" ”
The little girl wiped the cold sweat on her forehead with her hand, and sighed helplessly: "Childe, this girl is not simple at all." ”
Zhu Zixuan squinted his eyes, reached out and grabbed the man's collar: "Don't make excuses for me!" I can't even deal with a girl, what else can I expect from you? ”
The little guy was carried by the collar, the whole person did not touch the ground on his toes, and he was very scared: "The slave doesn't dare to lie to you, if you don't believe it yourself, the girl is not ambiguous at all, you see the two dogs, that is, the chest was poked by the hairpin, and he was killed with one blow, and the big tiger, the wrist was useless, and the girl did it, what kind of girl's house is this?" ”
Zhu Zixuan subconsciously glanced at the corpse when he heard this, and it was exactly what the little guy said.
"Not only that, there is a special secret guard behind this girl, ordinary people can't get close at all, you look at this method of throwing corpses, if you don't have hundreds of lives in your hands, how can you be so skillful?" That little guy is also an insider, and he talks about the Tao.
Zhu Zixuan didn't believe it, but he also believed it, and as soon as he let go, he threw the little guy aside, and ordered: "Report this matter to the concubine, just say that the plan failed, and find another time next time." ”
"Yes, the little ones will go."
After speaking, Zhu Zixuan waved his hand at the person behind him, and everyone carried the body and went down quietly.
Xun Zhi ...... You wait for me, you dare to withdraw from my marriage, one day I will make you pay!
……
The clock rang, Xun Xuan Huoran, who was lying on the couch, opened his eyes, looked at Fu Rongrong, who was sleeping beside him, and then quietly got up and took away the Kong Ming lantern that had been prepared from the table on the side.
The dew at night was very heavy, and although it was July, Xun Xuan was still cold with a thin gauze coat.
Xun Xuan hugged her arms, which were a little chilling, walked to the door of the big Buddha hall where she chanted during the day, and took out the cinnabar pen that had been prepared.
The candles in the big Buddha hall were burned until dawn overnight, Xun Xuan lit the candles in the hall, and quickly depicted a few beautiful lotuses on the wall of the Kong Ming lantern with a cinnabar pen.
After finishing the painting, Xun Xuan took out the candle, lit the wick, and slowly put the Kong Ming lantern into the sky.
Flickering candles illuminate the walls of the lamps, bringing the enchanting water lilies to life.
Xun Xuan looked up at the gradually rising Kong Ming lantern, a bright and clean face flashed an indifferent smile, and then turned around and walked into the Buddhist hall, kneeling on the futon, as if waiting for something quietly.
After a long time, a panicked pace walked in from outside the door, and with the sound of heavy breathing, a broad figure appeared in the Buddha hall.
"Is that you?" The voice trembled slightly, even a little hoarse, but with childlike joy.
Xun Xuan opened her eyes, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, she didn't expect that the first person to appear would be him.
Before Xun Xuan could stand up, the person behind her suddenly rushed forward and hugged her shoulder tightly from behind: "I know...... You're not dead, are you? ”
The voice was ecstatic, and it was like the person Xun Xuan usually knew.
Xun Xuan was a little stunned at that moment, and she didn't know what to say for a while, she didn't expect that the person who came turned out to be ...... Jing Ying.
In addition to being stunned, a strange emotion vaguely appeared in Xun Xuan's heart, which seemed to be melancholy, and it seemed to be ...... Attachment.
Xun Xuan didn't understand why she had such emotions, could it be that she was reborn in a lifetime, did she even soften her heart?
However, as soon as she remembered that Jing Ying had drunk so much wine tonight, Xun Xuan instantly understood that this person had drunk too much wine again.
"His Royal Highness King Zhao, you have recognized the wrong person, I am Xun Zhi." There was no emotion in Xun Xuan's tone.
The solid arm holding Xun Xuan suddenly loosened, Xu was neither of them wanting to see each other's embarrassment and embarrassment, Xun Xuan didn't turn around.
"I'm sorry!" With an apology, the arm that hugged Xun Xuan slowly loosened until the little residual warmth behind him disappeared.
The heavy footsteps faded away, and finally disappeared into the night again.
Xun Xuan didn't know why, at that moment, her heart was turbulent, she pricked up her ears and listened carefully to the footsteps, until it disappeared completely, and there was no longer a trace of sound, and what remained around her was endless silence.
Facing the huge Buddha hall, Xun Xuan's heart was empty, and a sense of powerlessness arose spontaneously from the bottom of her heart.
……
After another moment, there was another sound of shredded footsteps behind him, this time not just one person, but a group of people.
The door was opened with a "bang", and compared to the haste and urgency of the last time, this time the people were obviously hostile and vigilant.
"Everyone is waiting outside the door, and they are not allowed to come in without my permission." The young Son of Heaven commanded coldly in his clear and nice voice.
