Chapter 46: Birthday Nightmare
As he spoke, my uncle brought a lot of people in. He was followed by many guards, each of whom carried a large jar on their shoulders, and in an instant the entire room was filled.
We are all confused by our uncle's actions, what is this going to do?
"What is this?" The mother asked.
The uncle ordered people to put down those vats and set up two rows in the room, his face was full of excitement, excited and eager: "Imperial sister, brother-in-law, look at what I have brought you!" ”
He walked over and tore open the seal on a large vat, the clear and bright liquid in it glowed amber, and the smell of wine immediately filled the room. It turns out that so many vats are full of wine! This makes us even more puzzled. On my birthday, my uncle didn't give me a beautiful headband or a silver bracelet, but he brought me so much wine.
"Sister Huang, do you remember the origin of this daughter's redness?"
The mother nodded suspiciously, and replied: "This daughter red is the custom of the Liangjiang generation, if the family gives birth to a daughter, they will hide a jar of rice wine in their own cellar, and take it out to drink on the day of the daughter's fifteen or sixteen years of marriage, so this wine has a very nice name, called daughter red." ”
The mother understands the origin of her daughter Hong, but she doesn't know what the purpose of this daughter Hong is brought here.
"This daughter Hong is what the Holy Lord hid in the wine cellar when the little princess Qingyi was born, and it can be regarded as a piece of the uncle's heart. This is the first time I've come to visit her in the snowy region when Qingyi is so old, so I brought half of the wine. The fourth prince explained, his expression was full of kindness and kindness, but also slightly unwilling and ashamed, because after all, the person who married in Northern Xinjiang in order to marry his relatives was his sister who was still young back then.
"It's really hard work, I can't imagine that this is the custom of the Central Plains, my daughter is red, and it is a very beautiful name." Daddy said that he bowed and thanked his uncle for his kindness.
"Hehe, brother-in-law, why be polite! Today's Xiao Qing'er's birthday, everyone has a taste! The uncle waved his hand and ordered two jars of wine to be carried out of the door and divided among the others. The people in the lobby also emptied the wine they had just loaded and replaced it with this seven-year-old daughter red from the Central Plains.
Everyone gathered together to toast and have a good time. This seems to be the most satisfying moment for everyone, but it is a hidden mystery.
However, the easiest thing for people to defeat is warmth.
If someone suddenly brings you something weird good, then he'll bring you something weird and bad.
After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere in the holy palace became warmer, but the uncle's expression slowly became cold.
"Imperial sister, after so many years, have you ever thought about returning to the imperial capital?" The fourth uncle asked.
The mother laughed, and the smile on her face was a heartfelt happiness: "My husband and children are all right now, the wind and rain in northern Xinjiang are smooth, Chang'an is rich and the people are safe, my home is here, of course I want to stay here." ”
She looked at her father, and the two of them smiled.
"In other words, you don't want to leave the Holy Lord?" The fourth uncle continued to ask.
His abrupt question made his father and mother feel inexplicable: "What do you mean by asking?" ”
Uncle's face gradually turned cold, and he turned his face away from his father and mother. His side face looked cold and deep, like another person I'd never seen before. The atmosphere suddenly cooled down.
Dad picked up a glass of wine on the table and saluted his uncle: "Don't worry, Nanyin and I have been with me for so many years, we have experienced too many things together as a husband and wife, and I will continue to be good to her in the days to come, take care of her seriously, and never let her suffer the slightest grievance." ”
Daddy said sincerely, my mother followed my father from Chang'an to Northern Xinjiang ten years ago, and I have been completely accustomed to living in this snowy region for so many years, but this is not my mother's hometown after all.
The uncle still looked away with a sideways face, he didn't take his father's wine glass, and his father's hands hung in the air in embarrassment. The coldness on his face did not diminish in the slightest, wasn't his sudden chill because of his mother?
The atmosphere at the moment is extraordinarily quiet, however, this silence seems extremely strange. I noticed that the food on the table seemed to have been sitting for a long time, but there was no maid to bring new ones and replace the old ones.
At this moment, my father and mother also noticed that something was wrong, and my mother looked at my uncle in disbelief, and asked tremblingly, "What did you do?" ”
"You, you actually poisoned ......" Daddy said in disbelief, before he said this, everyone thought they were fine, but when Daddy finished saying this, the mother and the person next to her moved a little, as if they had pulled off a bone, and they were paralyzed.
Originally, several men who came in with wine were standing at the gate of the Snowy Sacred Palace at this moment, although they were still in the appearance of a sedan chair man, but judging from the momentum alone, they were the best killers with formal training. They stood cold at the door of the main hall like this, like a life and death talisman, separating the inside and the outside. The door of the main hall was not closed, and when you looked out from the inside, there was only darkness outside, and there was no human figure in sight.
"What did you do with everyone else?" Daddy asked with a strong voice.
"You can't even control yourself at this time, and you still want to manage others? Their fate is the same as yours, tonight, they all have to die! Uncle stood up and said viciously. The light in his eyes was like that of a fierce beast.
The sudden change in my uncle frightened me and my mother, my mother stood up, but as soon as she stood up, she found that something was wrong with her body, she calmed down, and then suddenly raised her head and looked at the man in front of her brother in horror: "Is it the clouds and smoke?" ”
My uncle's face turned red, and he was like a mad beast, ready to attack the people around him at any moment. With red eyes, he nodded silently at A-Niang.
Ah Niang's face changed from frightened to shock, then to despair, and finally to a blank face, two lines of tears slowly left from the corners of her eyes, and fell to the ground and instantly turned into a small water lotus pattern.
Ah Niang's hand was trembling, and she said weakly to Ah Daddy: "No trace...... Traceless ...... In the end, I ended up hurting you......"
Seeing Ah Niang's sad expression, Ah Dad was anxious, he suddenly stood up and wanted to walk to Ah Niang, but at the moment he stood up, his movements were also very sluggish, but only a few seconds of hesitation, he walked to Ah Niang's side and gently wiped away the tears on Ah Niang's face with his hand: "Ah Yin, I don't allow you to say such things, you are my wife, the person I love the most in my life, you won't hurt me, don't talk nonsense." ”
Auntie's tears were even more turbulent, and she almost collapsed in Daddy's arms: "We ...... All of them have been poisoned by the clouds...... I really...... I've really hurt our entire clan......"
"You are not allowed to say that!" Daddy rudely interrupted Niang's words.
"Don't disbelieve in reality anymore!" The uncle roared angrily, "Everything she said is true! Do you know that this cloud smoke is your favorite lady when she was not out of the cabinet, in order to prevent the invasion of the Central Plains by the northern Xinjiang, Princess Nanyin constipation made this cloud smoke dispersion, which is specially designed to deal with you! I don't want to marry you in the end, this poison has never played its role. But Sister Nanyin is really powerful, she has only made this kind of poison in her life, and this kind of poison can be as colorless and odorless as air, and it can't be detected by means at all, only one poison can deceive you as a miracle doctor! ”
Ah Niang is still crying in a low voice, and the most in her heart at the moment may be deep regret.
Daddy is still light, he looked at Ah Niang's eyes, still smiling gently: "I know that Ah Yin is the smartest, you can learn everything quickly, Ah Yin is so powerful, you can actually create poison that even I can't detect." ”
Daddy's voice was not nervous or scared at all, but felt relieved and happy because of A-Niang's achievements, this is the two of them, even if the poison made by A-Niang threatens his life, he will see the shining place on A-Niang's body, continue to love her without hesitation, and sincerely applaud her for her intelligence.
This scene angered the uncle next to him, and he glared at his father incredulously: "Are you really not afraid at all?" Holy Lord, you can't feel the changes in your body, do you? ”
"Of course I feel it," Daddy replied while patting my mother's back gently, "But I can also feel that this poison simply paralyzes my lower body, and it will not have a fatal effect." ”
"Haha, you're wrong!" Uncle laughed wildly: "Tonight, there will be a fire that will consume everything here, including you who can't move!" ”
"What!" A-Niang raised her head and looked at her uncle hatefully: "Why?" Why are you doing this?! You tell me why? What enmity do the people here have against you? ”
After all, it's still his sister, he still can't bear it, his uncle turned his face away from looking at A-Niang's eyes, and said coldly: "You don't need to know!" ”
Daddy pulled Ah Niang into his arms again, his brows furrowed tightly, and he kept holding Ah Niang like that, not speaking. He watched the guards who had just come in with a fight against alcohol walking in from outside the door one by one with bloodstained knives and standing behind his uncle, and he knew that the other people outside the main hall had become lonely souls on the bridge at this moment.
The entire Snowy Sacred Palace was captured so easily, there is no doubt that two important factors have helped a lot, the first is that the clouds and smoke that A-Niang made back then paralyzed the bodies of the entire Sacred Palace guards and made them unable to move, and the second is because today is my birthday, my uncle can let a group of killers into the Snowy Sacred Palace in the name of sending wine, and let all the guards in the entire palace drink my birthday wine.
However, the biggest accomplices of this disaster were actually me and my mother.
Daddy looked at Ah Niang, there was no sense of blame, why did his uncle do this, he was not interested in or wanted to know. The two of them looked at each other for a long time and then walked towards me, and at this moment, they were struggling with every step, and I couldn't help but cry in fear when I saw my father and mother like this.
"Qing'er, don't cry." My father touched my head and put his whole body between me and my uncle, and pressed me against him. Ah Niang's eyes were full of crystal tears, she trembled and put down my silk cloak and wrapped me tightly, and then Ah Niang stood up, turned her head and asked her uncle: "Can you let my daughter go?" ”
Uncle looked at me who was crying, and there was no mercy and kindness in his eyes: "Sister, you don't understand the truth of cutting grass and roots. ”
Just when Auntie was talking to my uncle, Daddy whispered in my ear: "After a while, when the fire burns, I will run to the north side of the main hall and get into the wall cage where my grandfather's relics are enshrined." ”
What does Daddy mean by that? Don't he and A-Niang want me anymore? I cried even more sadly: "Daddy...... Mother......"
A-Niang hugged me again, she pulled down the corner of my cloak to cover my face, as if she didn't want me to see these bloody scenes again, I could feel A-Niang's hand tied a dead knot at the place of my neck, the white silk covered my eyes, everything in front of me immediately became only a blurry outline, I just wanted to shout that I couldn't see, and asked A-Niang to help me untie the dead knot, Daddy immediately used his fingers my abdomen, my throat seemed to be blocked by something, and I couldn't make a normal sound, Only a faint slate of hoarseness can be produced.
"If you have anything to say, let's say it now, I won't have a chance in a while." The uncle turned and walked to the door, and he was gone, but he wanted to leave the whole death behind,
Daddy's face that was always as calm as the wind also had unprecedented sadness at this moment: "Ayin, I haven't been able to grow old with you, I may not see Qing'er grow into another you......"
The self-blame and guilt on Ah Niang's face are still very deep, Ah Dad gently brushed Ah Niang's brows, held up her face and said: "Do you know, when I saw you for the first time, you were crying, frowning with self-blame, at that time, I swore that I must make you laugh happily in this life, your smile is so beautiful, you must not live up to it, all this is our life today, it is not your fault, I can die with you, I am very content......
The tears in Ah Niang's eyes still couldn't help falling, but the moment the tears fell, a smiling lotus bloomed on her face. She held her father's hand tightly, and said with a firm look in her eyes: "I am very grateful and content to marry you in this life." Let's be husband and wife again in Hades. ”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled gently, life and death are just an ending, they have long been put aside, but there is still some reluctance and longing between their eyebrows, I know, it's because of me.
Uncle had already walked to the door of the main hall, he turned his head as if it was very difficult, and finally asked A-Niang: "I'll ask you at the end, Sister, do you want to go back to Chang'an?" ”
Ah Niang didn't seem to hear it at all, at the moment she had a smile on her face, and she only had Daddy in her eyes.
