Chapter 45: Memories 2

Xiaocui is now the person who is waiting in front of the saint, the scenery is infinite, one day he went to the Huanyi Bureau in person, chatted politely with the boss for a while, and when he was leaving, he passed by the drying rack, pinched the orchid fingers and covered his mouth and nose, and his eyebrows were full of disgust, "Such a dirty mattress has been washed?" Who washed this, and I don't care about it? ”

When the lady in charge heard this, she drank Jiang Cailing, who was doing the laundry, with a cold face, and raised her hand to be a big-eared melon seed, "This little cheap hoof, I'm lazy, right?" ”

Jiang Cailing hadn't eaten for a few days, and her head was "buzzing" from this slap in the face, her eyes were full of Venus, and she couldn't stand up for a while when she fell to the ground.

Xiao Cui shook her head, hurriedly stopped the boss, and opened her lips and said, "Boss, your punishment is too heavy, you have to know that this Cai Ling is a friend of Sister Linglong!" ”

"Linglong, where can you let Xiaocui call you sister! I will deal with this girl well, and ask Miss Xiaocui to say some good things to me in front of the saint. ”

"That's nature." Xiao Cui's red lips were raised lightly, and she was about to leave the Huanyi Bureau when she raised her foot, and a pair of palace shoes stepped on Jiang Cailing's hand fiercely, and she deliberately twisted it.

"Shhh

Ten fingers connected to the heart, and the pain that came made the beads of sweat on Jiang Cailing's forehead flow down instantly, and her face became very pale.

Pain! It hurts like a broken bone.

Hearing the sound of gasping for air, Xiao Cui seemed to have just stepped on someone, "Oops, I'm really sorry, I didn't see Cai Ling's hand here, I accidentally stepped on it, it's okay." ”

"It's this little cheap hoof that is blocking the girl's way," the boss kicked Jiang Cailing cursed, and then said to Xiaocui flatteringly, "How can it be the girl's fault." ”

Xiao Cui smiled and nodded, looking at Jiang Cailing condescendingly, her eyes overflowing with a sense of revenge and pride.

Jiang Cailing's silver teeth clenched, if it was according to her temperament, she would definitely fight to break the net, at this time, a delicate advice sounded in her mind, Jiang Cailing bit her lower lip tightly, and her eyes were extremely firm.

Endure, she'll endure.

Later, as mentioned in the previous document, Jiang Cailing was finally unable to bear it one day, and when she went crazy and wanted to swallow up the life that bullied her, she was seen by Emperor Zhaohong.

Emperor Zhaohong said, "I'll give you a chance to get out of here, and give you unlimited glory, wealth and supreme power, but what you have to face next is more difficult and tiring than washing the clothes of the inferior palace people." Would you like to? ”

"I do."

Since then, she has been named a beauty, secretly accepted the training of Emperor Zhaohong, learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, learned poison medicine, and learned thousands of things, with more and more tasks completed, Jiang Cailing's status in the palace has also risen, no one dares to despise her, even with Linglong has become the head of the palace maid in the queen's palace, the two often move around, and the relationship is so good that they are like sisters.

Later, Emperor Zhaohong told her that Linglong was also a woman trained by Emperor Zhaohong, and the so-called loss of honor in front of the emperor was just a deliberate act of Emperor Zhaohong, the purpose of which was to reshuffle the cards and place Linglong next to the queen.

It was the third year that Jiang Cailing entered the palace, and since then, Emperor Zhaohong has begun to guard against the queen's family.

As Emperor Zhaohong spoke, his eyes suddenly sharpened, "However, you can't tell her your identity, you are still my concubine in front of her, do you understand?" ”

Jiang Cailing understood Emperor Zhaohong's concerns in his heart, knelt on the ground and said, "Holy Lord, rest assured, Cailing will definitely keep his mouth shut about this matter and will not let people know." ”

In the fifth year of entering the palace, the two of them still stayed in the high walls of the inner garden of the deep palace, thinking that when they first entered the palace, they counted down the days of leaving the palace together, but now they were entangled in the things in the palace, Jiang Cailing suddenly felt that time was really a terrible thing.

Guo Yu, the son of the queen, has just turned three years old, his little face with pink makeup and jade is very pleasant, and a pair of grape-like black pupils look like anyone can complete the crescent moon, and there is almost no one in the palace who does not like this little prince.

Jiang Cailing is no exception, every time she goes to look for Linglong, she will look at this cute little person with a smile for a while, Guo Yu also likes her very much, every time she sees her, she will stretch out her little hand and babble, "Jiang Niangniang, play with me!" ”

Jiang Cailing's gaze looked back and forth between Guo Yu and Linglong's faces, and then as if she had found something, she leaned closer to Linglong and whispered in her ear, "Why do I think the little prince's eyes are so similar to yours?" ”

"What nonsense!" Linglong's eyes flashed with panic, and she pushed Jiang Cailing away in a panic.

"What are you nervous about!" Jiang Cailing smiled and played with Guo Yu again.

Looking at the child's simple smiling face, Jiang Cailing felt that the world was bright, as if it was the sunshine shining in her boring life of conspiracy and assassination, and the finches around her would always indirectly persuade her, "Niangniang, after all, it is the queen's child, if something goes wrong, it will be blamed on you." ”

Jiang Cailing practiced her words and said with a smile, "You think too much about the finch, Yu'er is so cute, what can you do!" ”

It was also that night that Jiang Cailing received a new task from Emperor Zhaohong - to kill Guo Yu.

Jiang Cailing questioned Emperor Zhaohong for the first time, knelt on the ground, and tried to persuade the Ninety-Five Venerable in front of him, "Holy Lord, the little prince is still young, and he doesn't understand anything!" If the saint is worried that the queen family will use the little prince to rebel, then Cai Ling promises to send the little prince to a place that no one knows about, so that no one can find him! ”

"Do you have to bear with me? Tiger poison doesn't eat children, but if Yu'er goes missing, they also have the ability to get me a child who is exactly like Yu'er! A hundred years later, my relatives will be in power, and my other sons will be killed by them sooner or later......"

Emperor Zhaohong's words showed endless old age, which made Jiang Cailing realize that this was no longer Emperor Zhaohong who fought in the south and north in his prime, but an old man who was young but had to kill his son to maintain imperial power.

That night, Jiang Cailing returned to the room, and when she saw her mother-in-law, she frowned, poured a cup of hot tea and sent it to Jiang Cailing, "What's the worry about Niangniang?" ”

"Finch, do you say that people's hearts are getting harder and colder?"

"What?"

"Nothing." Jiang Cailing's eyebrows and eyes were full of tiredness, and she didn't drink the cup of hot tea, so she lay on the bed.

The second day was woken up by the screaming sound of the finch, Jiang Cailing frowned and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?" ”

"Niangniang, you see...... This damned mouse! ”

Jiang Cailing opened her sleepy eyes, stared at the place where the finch was pointing, and saw that the tea she hadn't drunk yesterday was poured on the table, and the place where the tea spilled was a dead mouse with all its fur peeled, and black and red blood flowed from the position of the eyes and ears.

If she had drunk that cup of tea last night, she would have died of withered skin and bleeding from her ears and eyes.

Jiang Cailing has been in the palace for five years, and she has never seen any strong winds and waves, this little thing is not enough to make her panic, her apricot eyes flashed a trace of solemnity, it seems that someone has already preempted her.

Picking up the teacup, there was still residual tea in it, put it under the nose and sniffed deeply, and it smelled a familiar smell.

Although the smell is very light, you can still smell the mandala flowers.

I remember that the master who taught her how to make poison once told her that this mandala flower and a herb can refine the world's strange poisons, and will make poisons of different poisons according to the amount of herb juice, but they are equally deadly, but some of them attack immediately, and the skin ulcerates, and some of them attack slowly, and the poison is as calm as falling asleep.

However, the master taught him all what he had learned all his life, but he did not tell her the recipe of the mandala flower, because the master said that the mandala flower poison could only be taught to one person, and he had already taught it to others, so he could teach it to her again.

As for this mandala poison, who the master taught it, Jiang Cailing also knew it.

Holding the teacup, a delicate figure appeared in his mind, Jiang Cailing's eyes were full of contradictions and struggles, and he muttered in a low voice, "No." ”

Emperor Zhaohong was already dissatisfied with her delay in making a move, and Jiang Cailing was poisoned and framed more and more frequently during this period, if it wasn't for the last time I didn't drink that cup of tea by chance, it is estimated that Jiang Cailing at this time would have been poisoned to death a hundred and ten times.

One day, Jiang Cailing went to the queen's palace to find Linglong as usual, and she and Linglong were still talking and laughing as before, but Linglong refused to let her get close to the little prince. Until Emperor Zhaohong sent a holy decree at this time, let Linglong meet him, even if Linglong refused to leave even so.

After Linglong left, Guo Yu ran out and got into Jiang Cailing's arms, coquettish with a childish voice, "Jiang Niangniang, Yu'er misses you so much!" ”

Such a lovely child, after a while, will have to close his eyes permanently.

Jiang Cailing's heart was like a fierce beast, biting Jiang Cailing's heart.

"Jiang Niangniang, are you crying like this?"

Jiang Cailing wiped her face with the back of her hand, her hands were full of tears, she reached out to hold Guo Yu in her arms, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"

Swing, fall, die.

After carrying out that task, Jiang Cailing couldn't sleep almost every night, and every time she dreamed back at midnight, she would always hear Guo Yu's immature child's voice, "Jiang Niangniang, you are so fragrant!" ”

Linglong didn't see her for three days, and she was so thin that only bones remained, so people wouldn't believe that this was Linglong, the palace maid next to the queen.

"Linglong, I ......" Jiang Cailing didn't want to deceive Linglong, Linglong grew up seeing Guo Yu, and even she liked Guo Yu very much, which shows that Linglong loves him even more. Now that Guo Yu is gone, Linglong is still more heartbroken than the queen.

"I'm fine." Linglong took a cup of tea and handed it to Jiang Cailing, "Thinking about the time when we entered the palace, it was such a time, at that time, we were not so thoughtful and thoughtful as we are now, step by step. ”

The floral smell of mandala permeates the fragrance of tea.

Since then, Jiang Cailing has known that their friendship has been completely broken, and she has single-handedly broken off this friendship.

It wasn't until later, when Linglong assassinated Emperor Zhaohong, and Emperor Zhaohong wanted to kill Linglong, that she knew that Guo Yu was Linglong's biological brother, and the queen's biological child died as soon as he was born.

I thought that my younger brother could be clothed and fed in the palace, but I didn't expect that the little prince's life was destined to be ruined.

Jiang Cailing couldn't bear Linglong's death, and asked the Holy Lord for a favor, "The Holy Lord is clear, Linglong has used the mandala flower poison to poison me many times before, and Cailing has long hated her, and begged the Holy Lord to hand her over to me to deal with!" ”

"Yes, but it is difficult to solve my hatred once I die, soak her in the cold pool for three days and three nights, and I will send someone to supervise her."

Emperor Zhaohong really knew Jiang Cailing and prevented Jiang Cailing's favoritism.

Three days after Hantan, Jiang Cailing fed Linglong a cold medicine and fake death medicine, and said with heavy eyes, "You and I have been in the palace for several years, I have long regarded you as a relative, I can't say who is right and who is wrong with these grievances, after leaving the palace, take care of everything." ”

Linglong's pale face was full of mockery, and she spoke weakly, "Jiang Cailing, you don't have to pretend to be so kind. If it weren't for you, the person who Emperor Zhaohong reused would be me, and I wouldn't have sent my younger brother to the sinister palace for the sake of my future. Why, the mandala flower can't poison you! I hate you, and one day, I will avenge my brother with my own hands! ”

Do you hate her so much?

After Linglong faked her death, she was sent to a mass grave, Jiang Cailing sat on the ground weakly, her eyes were empty, "People's hearts will really become harder and harder." ”

Linglong, we......
