Chapter Ninety-Eight: What No One Can Do
"No..."Fang Zhongyue said stubbornly: "I will kneel until Imperial Concubine Guo wants to see me!"
"Humph! Then you are on your knees! See if the princess will promise to see you if she kneels to death... Warning you not to shout! Otherwise, the stick will be thrown out. The maid closed the door and entered.
Fang Zhongyue knelt motionless in the water, when the raindrops gradually became dense, and the merciless ice rain slapped his cheeks with the wind; The clothes on his body were already soaked, and the cold rain flowed down his stubborn backbone, and soon there was only a warm ball in his heart.
The ground in front of the building is paved with bluestone slabs, and I didn't feel anything when I just knelt up, but after a while, my knees hurt in my heart, and Fang Zhongyue gritted his teeth and insisted.
It's not that simple to say and do, it's not something that can be done with perseverance, it's two bones on a stone! The flesh that was not thick was brutally pressed into a thin layer.
The pain is endless and cannot be ignored, the pain penetrates deep into the bone marrow, lingers like a maggot tarsal bone, it is simply unbearable; Fang Zhongyue gritted his teeth and rattled, enduring the unforgettable pain to keep his upper body erect...
A quarter of an hour... Two quarters of an hour... After three quarters of an hour, Fang Zhongyu still maintained a posture, as if a statue was standing still.
The male servants and old mothers in the wing room have nothing to do on rainy days, and at this time they all open the doors and windows to watch the excitement, at first I thought that he would have to leave after a while, but I didn't expect that after half an hour, he didn't move! Everyone was amazed and gathered together to discuss.
The people in the building naturally saw it, and the maid just now was also surprised and ran to tell Guo Tingfang.
"Oh... That kid hasn't left yet? Guo Tingfang was curious and came to the window, and sure enough, she saw Fang Zhongyue kneeling in the water.
"Did he just keep kneeling?" Guo Tingfang asked in disbelief.
"Yes, the Imperial Princess." The maid replied, "I'm watching!" This was the same position when he knelt down, and almost nothing has changed since then. ”
Guo Tingfang sighed, looked at Fang Zhongyue a few times, and returned to sit down inside.
The maid followed, "Imperial Princess, I think this kid is quite unusual, he can do this... It's unimaginable that maybe he really has something important to tell you! ”
"What do you think?" Guo Tingfang glanced at her.
"Yes, the imperial princess, otherwise who can kneel for half an hour without moving! I haven't heard of it, just think about it and it hurts in my knee. ”
"Hey, sympathize with him? All right... In another quarter of an hour, let him in if he was still there. ”
A quarter of an hour may not seem like a long time, but it depends on the state! Fang Zhongyu's body was almost the same temperature as the stone slab under his knees, and the rain was nothing at all;
The pain in his knee had stretched to his waist, and if you looked closely, you could see that his body was shivering, but only slightly, and the wind blew his clothes to hide it.
His teeth were numb, and his body was on the verge of collapse, all supported by a fierce force. If you say it, you have to do it, now Fang Zhongyue has no second way, and he has to get Zhang Xiyue's innocence back.
The rain continued to fall without stopping, the cold rain slid through his cold skin, and his dull eyes looked through the rain curtain to the vast sky, and he asked in his heart: Is there no fairness in this world?
Fang Zhongyue didn't believe that this would be the case, good and evil will be rewarded in the end, but the time has not yet come, if there is really no fairness in this world, then it is up to you to preside over fairness! Although he doesn't have the ability yet, he still believes in it...
Just when his willpower was about to lose control of his body, the door opened, and the maid just now appeared at the door again, "Okay, Yuan Zhongyu, come in... The princess agrees with you. ”
Ouch I'll go! Fang Zhongyue's heart was almost desperate, and he almost screamed out happily when he heard the news, thinking that he didn't expect to stand up and his legs were no longer obedient, and he fell to the ground as soon as he struggled to move.
After kneeling for more than half an hour, my blood was impassable, and my legs were unconscious, how could I listen to the call? He had to sit on the ground and rub his legs.
There are still more good people in the world, Guo Tingfang didn't want to see him before, and others didn't dare to help, but then I heard that the imperial concubine agreed to see him, and several male servants and old mothers ran out to help him rub his legs and blood.
There are also people who complain distressedly, "Young man, you can't do such a stupid thing next time, if you don't get these two legs, it will be useless..." ”
"Not really! You kid doesn't know how powerful, how big a thing is worth working so hard...? ”
"Thank you, uncle and aunt..."Fang Zhong held back his tears and didn't let the tears flow, "Mrs. Zhang was framed, and if I don't do this, there is no way to help her." ”
Everyone sighed when they heard this, no one dared to be presumptuous about this kind of thing, so they could only help him rub his legs and help him stand up.
"Thank you, uncles and aunts..."The more anxious Fang Zhong was to see Guo Tingfang, he dragged his two stiff legs up the steps, and he dragged the two legs into the threshold by holding on to the door frame.
Guo Tingfang sat on the chair and watched all this expressionlessly, until Fang Zhongyue came close and was about to kneel down to salute, she said, "Forget it, if you kneel down again, your legs will really be wasted."
"Thank you, Imperial Princess..."Fang Zhongyue wiped a handful of tears and rain, he didn't want others to know that he was crying.
"Tell me..."Guo Tingfang asked, "What is the relationship between Zhang Xiyue and you, and it is worth you to do this for her?"
"When I was living on the street and almost starved to death, it was Mrs. Zhang who bought me steamed buns to eat..."
"Ahh A few buns turned out to be so desperate for you, hehe, she really earned it... It doesn't seem that simple, does it? ”
"This is one of them," Fang Zhongyue said, "Later, I fell ill and fainted on the street, and Mrs. Zhang brought it home to cure the disease, which is equivalent to saving my life for me."
"Oh, this is barely reasonable..."Guo Tingfang looked him up and down a few times and asked, "Say it!" What do you have to say to me? ”
"Imperial Princess, is Princess Jiaxing okay at present?"
"The doctor said that there was no big deal, and it would be good to take a few more medicines. You've been kneeling for more than half an hour, don't you just want to ask this? ”
"Princess Jiaxing is a blessed person, and she will never be fine." Fang Zhongyue bowed down and said: "Back to the imperial concubine, the villain has the courage to say that the poison of ham has absolutely nothing to do with Mrs. Zhang..."
"If you want to talk about it, don't do it!" Guo Tingfang said coldly: "The ironclad evidence is like a mountain, and there is nothing to defend."
"Imperial Princess, please listen to me..."
"If it's something else, just say it, or go back! It was because of your dedication that I made an exception to see you. ”
"Yes, yes, thank you, Princess." Fang Zhongyue said: "The villain is willing to ask the imperial concubine to listen to me, Mrs. Zhang was wronged, but the real murderer is at large, I believe that the imperial concubine doesn't want to see it, right?" Wouldn't that be a relative and an enemy...! ”
Yesterday the incident suddenly Guo Tingfang was so irrational under impulse, and then Princess Jiaxing woke up after drinking medicine, she thought about it calmly and knew that it should not be Zhang Xiyue who was poisoned, but...
