57. Bamboo fall silt

Mo Yu just wanted to take out some silver and ask them to make it convenient, but suddenly found that this palace maid had nothing of value at all. Thinking about it, if the palace maid is on an errand every day, she has to send silver everywhere, it will be too much of a loss.

She sent the steamed fish forward: "The Empress Dowager Zhaoxiang said that today's fish is good, and specially ordered to send one to the king." The guards gathered in front of the steamed fish and looked left and right, neither saying that they would let it go, nor that they would not let it go. They were worried about what information would be hidden in the fish, and they couldn't think of a way to search for it, and if they moved, the fish would be incomplete. It is also a capital offense to use the king's food without permission.

Seeing them like this, Mo Yu was relieved. Gongzi Han should be fine in the dormitory, only if Gongzi Han is alive, they will have scruples. She pushed the steamed fish forward again: "A few big brothers, do you want to ask you to help me send it in?" There are still a lot of things waiting for me at the banquet in front of me, and if I don't go back, I will be scolded again. ”

The guard smiled wryly: "Sister, don't get me wrong, we are also duty." "There is no news from the front hall yet, and they can't make their own decisions, so they have to let the ink rumors in.

The dormitory was lit with a huge oil lamp, and the ink rumors walked along the verandah, walked quickly, and whispered at the door: "Your Majesty? No one answered, she looked inside, and a figure flashed quickly. Mo Yu pushed open the hidden door and entered, and on the blue brick floor, a few drops of blood that had not yet coagulated were shocking.

Mo Yu put aside the steamed fish in his hand and chased the direction that the figure had left. The man seemed to be very familiar with the palace of the king of Chu, going around east and west, just circling in a small dormitory, but he had been a few steps ahead of Mo Yu. Mo Yu was anxious, not knowing what happened to Gongzi Han, thinking of the superficial kung fu that Xiao Zhen taught her, she took a breath and sped up her pace.

She hadn't practiced this breathing method for a long time, and as soon as she urged it, her chest was tingling with annoyance. She didn't care about her current situation, she just chased after the person in front of her, and seeing that the person was about to escape out the back door, Mo Yu grabbed a weeping willow branch and swung forward. The willow branch was so weak that it couldn't hold her weight, and when it broke, Mo Yu lunged forward and threw the man to the ground.

Before the man could resist, Mo Yu grabbed her wrist first, and what the man was holding in his hand was not a sword, but a sharpened piece of bamboo. Mo Yu hurriedly brushed the hair from the side of her face, and a familiar face jumped into her eyes at once.

"Qingzhu ......" Mo Yu called out her name, she never thought that she would meet her here, "What happened to Gongzi Han?" ”

Qingzhu struggled a few times, but couldn't break free, so he simply let go of his hand and stared at Mo Yu with a pair of eyes.

Mo Yu only felt that her heart was in chaos, she never thought that this person would be Qingzhu, she suddenly remembered that some time ago, those palace maids and eunuchs who were inexplicably killed by people cut their throats and died, such a fast method, it seems that only Qingzhu can do it.

"You...... It's you? You've always been the one who kills people in the palace? Mo Yu pressed her body, trying to snatch the bamboo knot from her hand. Qingzhu refused to let go, and the two of them were like ordinary girls fighting, they even forgot their moves, so they just tried their best to grab the bamboo. During the scuffle, the two of them got farther and farther away from the verandah, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the Hibiscus pool.

"You let go, I'll just ask you a few questions." Mo Yu gasped, still reaching out to grab it.

I don't know if I was scared or nervous, Qingzhu just stared at Mo Yu with a pair of eyes, full of vigilance and vigilance, and refused to say a word. Seeing that he was about to reach the edge of the pool, one of Qingzhu's feet stepped into the air, and the whole person lost his balance and fell into the water. Mo Yu hurriedly stretched out a hand to pull her, and in a hurry, he only had time to grab the other end of the bamboo.

Qingzhu subconsciously struggled in the water, and the tip of the bamboo knot was raised, and an extremely deep blood cut was drawn on Mo Yu's arm, extending from the wrist to the back of the elbow. The green bamboo fell into the hibiscus pool, choked on a few mouthfuls of water, and subconsciously grasped the bamboo joints tighter. Mo Yu was taken by her strong force and fell into the water.

She is better watery than Qingzhu, barely able to float on the surface of the water, the bottom of the pool is full of silt, there is no place to settle at all, Mo Yu can only use bamboo knots to pull the green bamboo, through the heavy lotus leaves, to the shore. The blood that flowed from his arm snaked a red mark in the water. But she kept holding on to the bamboo knot and paddled it to the shore with the green bamboo.

The four walls of the Hibiscus Pond were smooth, and Mo Yu couldn't climb up after several attempts, so he could only turn to the pontoon bridge on the other side. She climbed onto the edge of the pontoon, pushed the green bamboo up first, and followed her. As soon as the person came out of the water, she lost the buoyancy of the water, and she only felt that her whole body was sinking like a copper tripod, and she couldn't even lift her arms.

Qingzhu seemed to have never been in the water, cold and afraid, and his face was pale. She lay on her back on the pontoon, still clutching the bamboo knots and not saying a word.

Mo Yu took a few deep breaths, and then remembered that she needed to grab Qingzhu, don't let her run, and move forward, the strength in her hand was only enough to hold down her wrist. Qingzhu wanted to struggle, but he also had no strength in his hands, the two looked at each other, and Mo Yu sighed: "I just want to ask, why are you here?" Did you kill all those people before? ”

Qingzhu looked like she was about to cry at any time, but she opened her eyes wide, didn't shed a single tear, and nodded her head twice.

"Is it for Yu Chu?" Mo Yu asked.

"No, it's not!" Qingzhu suddenly sat up and said the first sentence of the evening, "It has nothing to do with Yu Chu, don't guess." ”

Mo Yu sighed again, Qingzhu is like a blank piece of paper, all emotions are written on his face, he doesn't know how to hide it at all, and he can't lie. "Tonight, Yu Chu took out the jade gui that symbolized the royal power at the palace banquet, and now you appear in the queen mother's bedroom, can I believe that this is a coincidence?"

"Qingzhu, tell me, why does Yu Chu have Yugui? Who is he? Mo Yu didn't want to persecute Qingzhu, but she was too anxious to know what was going on, and things seemed to be beyond her comprehension.

Qingzhu shook her head, and as soon as the cold wind blew, her whole body shrunk together: "I don't know, I really don't know." Yu Chu just said that by killing those people, he would be able to become a general and realize his ambitions. He also said...... If you want me to kill the kid who is here today, I don't want to kill anyone...... I really don't want to kill...... But he was so gentle, he never pushed me, he just begged me, begged me to help him......"

She covered her face, as if remembering painful memories she didn't want to remember: "He promised me that today is the last time, and after today, he will never let me do these dangerous things again...... "Fear and yearning, sadness and sweetness...... Mixed emotions intertwined on her face: "He has always been cold, and only when he begs me to do this, he will show such a gentle expression...... It wasn't him who forced me, it was my own willingness, he read poetry and books, but he didn't have the opportunity to ......"

Mo Yu held her shoulder, not knowing what to say. That man did not "persecute" Qingzhu, but isn't this kind of affectionate plea that wants to say goodbye also another kind of persecution?

In the past, at the foot of Yunzhao Mountain, she always saw Qingzhu holding Yu Chu's ear, urging him to go out to gain fame. She really couldn't tell which one was the real Yu Chu. She really wanted to ask Qingzhu if she would regret urging her every day, and if she could do it all over again, would she rather have a man who sat at the door every day and helped her peel bamboo leaves, or the man who stood on the main hall and held Yugui in his hand, but no one could see through it.

It's a pity that now is not the time to think about this, Mo Yu was next to her and asked softly, "Then where did his Yugui come from?" ”

"I ...... I don't know," Qingzhu lowered his head, his eyes only staring at the tip of the bamboo, "The last time I met the two of you at the Miaoyin Temple, Yu Chu took me on a detour to find that piece of jade. He doesn't like me to ask about these things, I really don't know anything. ”

Mo Yu remembered the situation that night, Yu Chu should not have gotten Yugui at that time, so even if he recognized Xiao Zhen, he didn't have the heart to entangle with him, and even anxiously wanted to get rid of them, so he continued on the road before dawn. He seemed to only say one sentence at the time: "Su is sick." ”

Like a bolt of lightning suddenly hit his mind, Mo Yu opened his mouth in surprise, Su Tian hadn't seen anyone for a while, how could Yu Chu know that he was sick, and he was very sure that he was very sick? Perhaps the most likely thing is that he was the one who single-handedly caused this "disease......

At this moment, Qingzhu suddenly jumped up from the ground, and the tip of the bamboo knot stabbed straight into Mo Yu's chest. Mo Yu was still immersed in a huge shock, she didn't see Qingzhu's movements at all, and she couldn't dodge, so she could only lie backwards. The bamboo stabbed into her chest, cutting a three-inch-long wound.

Qingzhu's hand shook, the bamboo did not continue to pierce in, she withdrew the bamboo, her whole body trembled violently, and finally let go of her hand, the bamboo fell into the hibiscus pool, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Mo Yu, I'm sorry," Qingzhu said as he stepped back, "Yu Chu ...... He is the one who is to be worshiped by all men, and I can only do these dirty and filthy things for him. Who else will help him but me? Don't blame me, I'll ...... in the future I'll never use bamboo again. She raised her right hand and slapped it the stone pier of the pontoon. With a loud bang, Qingzhu showed a painful expression on her face, her right hand hung down softly, she supported her right arm with her left hand, turned around and ran away.

Mo Yu covered his chest, feeling that his strength was losing little by little. My eyes were dark for a while, and I just wanted to sleep. But she can't sleep, she didn't find Gongzihan, unless she confirms that Gongzihan is dead, she will never give up.

She didn't have the slightest pity or ridicule for Qingzhu in her heart, at least she was so brave and knew exactly what she wanted. It doesn't matter if their choice is right or wrong, it's just that fate makes them choose opposite men.

She suddenly felt that what Su Tian said was right, people's efforts always can't compete for fate. But before working hard, she didn't know where fate would turn, she stood up with the stone pier and wanted to turn back to the inner hall to find Gongzihan. As long as there was one possibility, she always had to give it a try.
