Chapter 2: Death
Sikong was still a complete person before he was six years old.
He was abducted and trafficked, and someone bought him to enter the palace in the place of others.
The kid about his age was the queen of the guilty.
However, someone operated in the dark and brought Sikong Jing, who had a somewhat similar face, into the palace.
Sikong slowly climbed up from the bottom, the eunuchs and palace maids who couldn't guess their minds, the emperor's concubines who could decide your life and death, and those stewards.
Along the way, he knelt and licked, and he also fell into the well.
At this moment, the emperor's favorite little princess fell into his hands, and he was bound to return all those he suffered a thousand times more.
When the emperor was empty-eyed and didn't take Qi Linjun in his eyes, Sikong had already put half of his chips in his eyes.
This time, Qi Linjun was able to get up, and he also had half of the credit.
Sikong, as he expected, was heavily used.
He is in charge of all the affairs of the entire inner court, that is, ordinary concubines have to please him from time to time.
The events of that day were all blocked, and no one knew that the little princess was in his hands.
The new emperor succeeded to the throne, in addition to rewarding meritorious deeds, that is, to eliminate the remnants of the previous dynasty.
Although the previous dynasty was chaotic, the princes and relatives all had corresponding records.
Emperor Li Dong of Qiming, who was the general of Zhenguo Gong of the previous dynasty, said to have some relatives with the previous dynasty, but except for those who openly stood on his side, he almost killed all the others.
"But the daughter of Concubine Rong is nowhere to be found at this moment, Your Majesty?"
Since someone was playing, Sikong naturally reported the matter to Li Dong.
Concubine Rong used to be Li Dong's sister, but she was young and widowed, and later eloped with others.
It's just that the man who Concubine Rong followed died early, and he wanted to go home, but he found that he couldn't go back home.
The Li family thought she was ashamed and had already expelled her from the house.
It was there that Concubine Rong hated the Li family.
She didn't know how to enter the palace, and later tried every means to target the Li family.
If she hadn't committed suicide, he would have hated to rip off her bones.
For the child she left behind, Li Dong hated her even more: "Find her for me and bring her head." ”
Sikong naturally should be, and when he retreated, he happened to see Li Cong, the king of Wu, come in.
Symbolically bowed, and went home.
Sikong imprisoned Chen Hua in the basement for five years.
During those five years, Sikong was sometimes very kind to her, giving her good food and fun.
Sometimes I can't wait to gnaw on her flesh, and hold her down and bite her like a chick.
Sikong's punishment of Chen Hua has always been one-way, and slowly, Chen Hua will not speak.
But she can scream.
The basement is a forbidden place, and no one is allowed to enter it on weekdays, but I heard the little girl's screaming in the middle of the night.
Sikong is vigilant, smiling completely outside, and handling all affairs with ease.
At night, he dropped his guard and told Chen Hua over and over again about the people and things he met outside.
"Then Li Cong is just the emperor's adopted son, can he really be the prince? Didn't you see the emperor's face, he smiled stiffly, but he still said what he said to Li Cong. Princess, you should really take a good look at how much of your uncle's nest really is. If it keeps going like this, what does it mean for him to be in front of the emperor? ”
"Little princess, do you remember your eldest cousin Li Hibiscus? He may be patient now, and he has just become a prince. Tsk, it's so pitiful, you didn't see him laughing so happily in the hall, I don't know how many times his brothers killed him. Should we bet on how long he can sit in that position? ”
Chen Hua couldn't get out, but he pieced together in Sikong's words, knowing that now Li Dong was the emperor, and several sons assisted him, and now there was a prince.
Now it's not the Dahua Dynasty, but the Dadu Dynasty.
"Do you know who we've caught today? It's your sixth brother, presumably you yourself are favored, and you don't remember him. Before Concubine Rong, his mother was the most favored, and was later sent to the cold palace. This time he also ran out, but unfortunately, he was killed and took credit. I went to see the scene, and I was bleeding all over the ground, and my stomach was pierced by a knife, tsk, but I was only fifteen or sixteen years old......"
The Sikong talked and laughed, and from time to time he cried again.
Chen Hua sat quietly on the ground, like a wooden man.
She slept during the day, and every night she had to be caught by Sikong and tossed like this.
Chen Hua was confused from pain at first, and then gradually became numb.
She hoped that the day would come sooner so that Sikong could go out and she would have a time to breathe.
Sikong is difficult to figure out, but in the face of a child like Chen Hua, his emotions are very straightforward, he will fight when he says, and he will substitute Chen Hua for whoever he wants.
In those years, Sikong had always imagined her as a trafficker who took him away from home, beating her over and over again, making her learn to bark, and making her cry and beg for mercy over and over again.
Chen Hua is getting thinner and weaker day by day, and her body has hardly grown since she entered here.
There was no sunlight all day long, and her body became more and more delicate, and the skin on her whole body was bloodless except for scars and bruises.
She was twelve years old, but her body still looked like she was six or seven years old, with big eyes and a big horror.
Sikong vented on her body to the fullest, and the night was hysterical.
He was calm and composed, and his actions became more and more cautious, but he was reused by the new emperor, and his official position rose step by step.
Those negative emotions made Chen Hua anxious, and during this time, somehow, she went from numbness to pain, crying day and night.
She wants to live, but she doesn't want to live like this, this life seems to be endless, does she want to accompany Sikong this madman for the rest of her life?
She was sick, but Sikong didn't call her a doctor.
Because he didn't find the little princess born to Concubine Rong for a long time, the emperor had some conspiracy theories, thinking that someone was using the little princess to restore.
When Li Dong became the emperor, he became timid, couldn't sleep every day and night, thought about building a new palace, and wanted to move the capital.
The emperor didn't believe anyone, but he would leave the matter to Sikong, a eunuch.
Perhaps in his opinion, the eunuch is not a complete person, and he cannot threaten his position.
The little princess is Sikong's secret, he has been used to confiding in her over the years, if someone finds her here, Sikong feels that he is not far from death.
He felt that Chen Hua would get through it as before.
After all, this child is often sick, and he has lived all these years without seeing a doctor.
This is a doll with warmth, flesh and blood.
It's his baby.
Sikong took her in his arms and sang to her over and over again.
"Hello, good girl, the flowers are about to bloom."
"Nannan, wake up soon, the spring breeze touches your face."
"Hurry up, the sun is going to dry your quilt."
"Nan Nan ......"
If Sikong gets better, his voice is also very good, not like his usual hysterical and sharp, nor like his father's vague voice, but a little low, not like a man, nor like a woman.
But he is an extremely wicked person, imprisoning her and constantly playing with her.
Five years ago, she lost her distinguished status, and from that moment on, she was destined to fall into the quagmire.
Chen Hua died, when Sikong was crying.
This basement trapped her for a few years, and Chen Hua thought that she was dead and could get out.
But what made her desperate was that she couldn't get out at all.
Her body was firmly held by Sikong, and her soul stood far away.
During this time, Sikong fell asleep.
After dawn, Sikong found out that the little princess Chen Hua was dead.
Under the night pearl, Chen Hua's face was transparent white.
Her eyes were still stained with tears, but her body was stiff.
Then what Sikong did was incomprehensible to Chen Hua, he pinched her face expressionlessly, probably confirming that she was dead, and went out.
That day, instead of going to the court as usual, he brought back a wad of yellow paper, some incense candles, and fruits.
In the next few days, Chen Hua's body was not moved out.
Sikong moved a small glass coffin with his bare hands and put Chen Hua's body into it.
In the following month, Sikong gods and ghosts chanted scriptures and burned paper in this dungeon, ate fasting and recited Buddha.
Chen Hua's soul had been standing in its original position, and she was stunned to see all this.
She ended up being blown away by the wind, which was so strong that it wasn't at all controllable.
Chen Hua fell into chaos, rising and falling in it.
She wanted to scream, she wanted to shout, but she found that she had no strength at all.
I don't know how long it took for her to hear a voice.
There were several voices, chirping.
"What do you think about these four young ladies can't think of, that they are looking for death here?"
"Haven't you heard that the marriage originally given to the third miss fell on the head of the fourth miss. She doesn't like her husband on weekdays, and she naturally doesn't want to live when she hears the person she marries. ”
"That man is also a king, but his fate is hard, and he killed three people who were married. If the fourth lady is gone this time, it will happen to be the fourth. The four girls are in a circle, and they can also play mahjong in the underworld. ”
"Oh, you're so bad, Fourth Miss doesn't like to play mahjong."
"What's bad, I'm serious, everyone is the same when they go to the Netherworld, does the fourth lady have a choice?"
Chen Hua listened to those female voices, especially the later words, but wanted to laugh.
Just as I thought about laughing, my throat hurt.
These maids are not afraid of the living lady, but they are afraid of the dead.
Originally, the courtyard of the four young ladies had the best life, but I didn't think that she was ruthless, but this hanged herself.
Seeing that the fourth lady's body moved, they ran away screaming one by one: "Ah, the corpse is cheating!" ”
As soon as Chen Hua opened his eyes, what he saw was a wooden beam, dark brown, just a little under the roof.
She had a sore throat and couldn't move.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and a little girl with red phoenix eyes and a golden hairpin in her hair was condescending, looking down at her: "Fourth sister, are you okay?" ”
