Chapter Eighty-Six: Nightmare
Chapter Eighty-Six: Nightmare
The spread of blood red stung his eyes, and tears slid uncontrollably down his face, but he couldn't move! I can't escape, I can't save it, I can only watch the soldiers in armor who are supposed to defend the country, slaughtering the unarmed people, obviously standing so close, but I can't see their faces clearly, I can't see their expressions clearly, I can only hear some familiar voices lingering in my ears for a long time, "Hurry up!" "Leave me alone! Let's go! β......
Who are they talking to? Me? But I can't move! Murong Zhi opened her mouth and found that she couldn't speak! Suddenly, a man who had been stabbed with a lot of swords staggered towards him with a thousand holes and covered in blood, Murong Zhi looked at so much blood, he wanted to retreat, but he couldn't move, and watched the man walk step by step, even if a sword pierced his body along the way, even if he fell to the ground, even if he climbed, he tried his best to crawl this way......
It hurts! It's as if my heart has been peeled off little by little by a blade, how can even the oxygen in the air become less? The heart was already suffocating, and the tears had gathered in the constricted pupils at some point......
"Quick, quick, let's go......" The man finally crawled to Murong Zhi's feet. But Murong Zhi could only look down at the ends of his messy hairβ
"You, I'm ......" Murong Zhi looked at all this, didn't know where to start, and could only ask in an already hoarse voice.
"Go, go." The man finally raised his head and looked at Murong Zhi begging.
Murong Zhi wanted to see his face clearly, but he was like a faceless man, nothing!
Suddenly, a rooster crowed, which looked particularly strange in this bloody environment, and Murong Zhi also saw that person's face clearly!
"No, no, no!"
"Miss, what's wrong with Miss?" Rue Xiang suddenly heard Murong Zhi's exclamation, and when she hurriedly ran in, she saw Murong Zhi sitting on the bed, as if her soul had been taken away by black and white impermanence, her eyes were dilated, but her pale and sad face was covered with tears, and her slightly open white lips were still inhaling cold air.......
"Miss?" Rue Xiang sat on the edge of the bed and held Murong Zhi's cold fleshy hand, "Miss, Rue Xiang is here." β
"Rue Xiang ......" Murong Zhi slowly turned her head, and her gaze finally had a focal length, "I had a nightmare, you say, are the dreams all the opposite?" Isn't it! β
"Yes, yes, Miss, it's just a dream, don't be afraid, Rue Xiang will always be with you, as well as Yinmai, and Aunt Lan, oh oh, and the master...... Miss, don't cry, we will always be with you...... Miss, that dream is fake......"
I don't know what's going on, the more I comfort Miss, why do Miss tears more? Rue Xiang was overwhelmed by such a Murong Zhi, and she stammered when she spoke.
"Whew-" Murong Zhi sniffed, wiped her cheeks with her sleeve, looked out the window, and asked, "What time is it?" Is Daddy back? β
"The rooster has just crowed, and the lord came back last night, but when you returned home, you were already asleep, Miss." Rue Xiang thought for a moment and then said.
The rooster just crowed? The rooster crow in that dream...... Murong Zhi didn't want to think about that nightmare anymore.
"Okay, I got it. You go out first, I'll clean up and go to Shouheiyuan to have breakfast with my father. β
"Yes, then I'll stay outside, and if there's anything I need, Miss will call me."
"Well, okay then." Murong Zhi originally wanted Ruxiang to do her own thing, but after thinking about it, this girl would definitely still worry about herself, so it was better to let her guard it.
In the western suburbs, Ling Mochen stood beside the desk with a frown, his fingers tapping on the table little by little.
"Master, if we leave the country again at this time, I am afraid that it will not only arouse the suspicion of the emperor, but also make the ministers of the court dissatisfied with you." Ling Yi stood respectfully in the lower position and said without humility or arrogance.
"But if you rob the prison at that time, the consequences will not be better than this."
"I think the previous Baili Gongzi's method was good."
"Oh?"
"Since the Emperor has decided to get rid of General Murong, then he will definitely call General Murong into the palace first, and during this period, let our people suggest that Murong's family members should be imprisoned in the General's Mansion in front of the Emperor, and then find a way to bring Miss Murong out."
"I thought about this method before, but firstly, the king is worried that Zhi'er will not leave, and secondly, after rescuing Zhi'er, then she will not be able to appear in front of the world openly for a long time, and this king does not want her to be wronged."
"However, only this method is the safest for the master's plan!" Ling Yi arched his hand and said earnestly: "Master, there are so many brothers behind you, can you bear to ...... when the great cause is not accomplished?"
"That's it! Let's put the people who are next to the Emperor and give the things that the Emperor wants a few days later to the Emperor. Ling Mochen pressed his eyebrows, waved his hand, and said, "King Rong Ben will think about it for a few more days, you can step back first." β
"Yes." Ling Yi understood the suffering that Ling Mochen had suffered over the years, and he was sincerely relieved that he could meet Murong Zhi, but he couldn't live up to his mother's last wish before she died! "No matter what the master decides, we will never give up, Ling Yi's death is not a pity, we just don't want the master to fall short."
Hearing this, Ling Mochen paused for a moment before leaving.
General's Mansion Shouhei Gardenββ
Murong Zhi and Murong Jin, father and daughter, sat on a stone bench among the orchid bushes under the tree, eating breakfast.
"Every time I have breakfast here, it's like I'm with your mother." After Murong Jin tasted the porridge, he said with a smile.
"Isn't my light bulb bothering Daddy today?" Murong Zhi joked.
"What stupid thing are you talking about, you kid?" Murong Jin sandwiched a piece of goose leg and put it in Murong Zhi's bowl, "Goose legs can't stop your mouth?" β
"Well, Daddy." Murong Zhi put down the chopsticks in his hand, and after fumbling in his sleeve for a long time, he took out the orchid bouquet hairpin, "duang!" For you! β
Murong Jin's eyes lit up, and after taking the hairpin and looking at it carefully, he couldn't help but sigh:
"It's so innovative, it's not bad!"
"So, do you like it?" Murong Zhi squinted.
"Of course, of course my father likes it." Murong Jin held the hairpin tightly, as if he was pinching some treasure.
"That's a must, I bought it after a long day at the market." Murong Zhi raised her chin, like a child who was praised, and her half-slit eyes were also particularly playful.
"You!" Murong Jin put down the spoon, "Zhi'er, my father won't go to court these days, will I accompany you?" β
"Huh? What's going on? Why don't you go to court? Murong Zhi was surprised.
"It may be that the emperor sees that I am old, and I am very tired from going to court like this every day, so let me rest for a few days." Murong Jin thought about it, the emperor called himself to the imperial study after he went down that day, and he really said this to himself.
"Dad, you can't be doing something wrong at work, right?" Murong Zhi looked at Murong Jin suspiciously.
"Ahem, although your father and I are a little older, there will be no mistakes." Murong Jin said solemnly.
"Uh-well."
"What? Not happy? β
"If Dad has something to hide from me, then he will definitely not be happy." Murong Zhi pouted.
"Ouch, why do you still look like a child, this mouth can hang an oil bottle, haha!" Murong Jin scratched the tip of Murong Zhi's nose.
"Dad, you're still laughing at me!"
......
In Qingshui Garden, Murong Xuan and the second aunt had breakfast, but they had their own concerns.
"Mother, His Royal Highness the Second Prince hasn't seen me in the past few days, but he paid for Murong Zhi's slut that day, hum!"
"Xuan'er, don't mention this matter yet. You should please your father more, you see for yourself, in the past six months, you have only gotten along with your father a handful of times, if you please your father, His Royal Highness the Second Prince is not a trivial matter? "The second aunt hates iron and can't make steel.
"My dad?" Murong Xuan sneered, "If I please him again, he will only spoil Murong Zhi, that slut, you let me please him, why don't you go yourself?" Not your own ...... yet"
"Shut up!" The second aunt trembled her hands, pointed at Murong Xuan and said, "Murong Xuan, you actually talk to me like this, it's just that!" I! β
"Mother, you don't have to hide some things from me, dad has nothing to do with me? Your means, my daughter still knows a little bit about it. β
"You, you!" The second aunt stood up angrily, flicked her sleeves and left.
Murong Xuan, on the other hand, looked at the back of the second aunt and smiled mockingly.
