Chapter 106: All kinds of confusion (II)
She exhaled, looking like she was at home. Stretch out your hands and draw a circle in mid-air, and finally put them together on your forehead, then kneel on the ground, your forehead against your hand, and the back of your hand next to the ground.
This ritual is unique to the Night Pavilion, and it is a ritual used by new attendants to show their loyalty. Meaning, their souls will always be subservient to their masters and will never betray.
"You, a member of the Night Pavilion?" I asked, but still holding the dagger at my waist in my right hand, just in case.
She looked up, her eyes determined. "It used to be."
Before? I pondered silently in my mind and did not speak.
"In the Dark Night Pavilion, my name is Thirteen, because I entered the Pavilion at the age of thirteen, and at the age of sixteen, I completely changed my name and surname and left the Dark Night Pavilion."
"No way, the Night Pavilion will never let the living leave." To this day, at least as far as I know, no one can leave unless the dead.
She suddenly began to untie her blouse, the ties were loose, and there was no one else in the alley, but she couldn't help but take a step back, even if she was also a woman, she still felt a little embarrassed.
Her coat fell to the ground, leaving only her dirty clothes, and the movements of her hands kept stopping, the dirty clothes were half-opened, and large areas of her skin were exposed to the cold wind.
I turned my head in embarrassment, and caught a glimpse of the foot-long scar on her chest, all of which were dented, showing the weight of the wound, and the skin around her was also flushed purple, and it was obvious that the weapon that had injured her was highly poisonous.
"Because I'm the one who died once."
Her wound is the closest to the heart, and if she is a little bit more away, she will be killed on the spot, and this is the punishment of the Night Pavilion for newcomers who are three years old and younger, and for the shadow, it is because she has become the helmsman.
"Then why did you leave the Night Pavilion and why did you enter the palace?" I already believed most of what she said in my heart, and there were some things that I couldn't pretend to be able to perform.
She tightened her clothes and put them on one by one. "Because of a person, because, a loved one."
I was stunned for a moment, I didn't expect it to be this statement, but her expression was very calm, not flustered or embarrassed.
"Who ......" I hesitated for a moment, but this time, I really couldn't guess.
"Today's saint, Beiyu Liangyi."
I was shocked and couldn't help but be stunned. Looking back now, when I talked to Bei Yuliang or Bei Yuliang also came to Jinyun Palace, she seemed to be a little different, I don't know if it was the difference in her appearance or the difference in the way she did things, but I just didn't think much about it.
"You think I'm going to believe you?"
The truth is, I should believe it, because love is such a thing that it can make people worry for a while, be happy for a while, love for a while, and hate for a while.
If the person Beiyu Jinchen loves is me, not Luo Yu, I should, I will work hard to overcome all difficulties, even if he doesn't love me, I have worked hard to fight for it, and I don't want to be myself, or rather, more like my real self.
It's a pity that there are too many regrets to talk about in the world, and they are not born at the right time, and they are not at the right time.
"Princess, if I want to hurt you, I won't stay until now, I can denounce you at any time and make you a key criminal in the court. But you were the one who saved me, and the Night Pavilion saved me, though it once wanted to take my life back. Now, I am Xia Xiying, I just want to follow Miss Jin well, support Miss Jin, and repay Miss Jin Xia Xiying, if you still don't want to believe me, please kill me now. She craned her neck and closed her eyes, revealing the arc of her neck. I will absolutely, not resist in the slightest. ”
My hand holding the dagger loosened, and I walked up to her and reached out to pull her up.
"I've always been suspicious of people, and I don't need to use people. It's better to have time to prove what you say, otherwise, it won't be as simple as apologizing for your sins with death. ”
She nodded solemnly and smiled happily.
She was right, if it had been against me, she should have done it a long time ago, and when the Night Pavilion killed her but failed to kill her, she should have taken revenge on us with hatred, but she didn't. Although I was so suspicious that I had vowed never to trust anyone but myself, over the past few days I have come to realize that it may be time for me to think differently about my life.
"Are you going back to the Pavilion?" She asked.
"We can't go back now, thousands of eyes are looking at us, and the slightest mistake will harm the entire Night Pavilion. I'm going to see Ning Xiang Lou, maybe Lan Zhi is still there. ”
After that, I walked in the direction of Ning Xianglou, I was conflicted and wandering in my heart, hoping that they were all safe and everything was as usual, but also annoyed that if everything was really as usual, why didn't they contact me.
Xia Xiying followed me, her steps very light.
I've lost Shadow, I've lost Nata, and I've lost Snow, and I can't watch my next life die like this.
Follow the path, Ningxiang Building is not far.
Generally, you should be able to hear the sound of the piano in the building a few meters away, and Lan Zhi likes to use music to make passers-by stop and forget.
But not today, quietly, as if people walked into a cemetery, this silence is dead silence.
The door of Ningxiang Building was sealed with a seal, and the dust fell nearly a foot thick, and the people went to the building empty, and the aftermath was not there.
I knew something was wrong, but now it looks like it's going to be worse than I thought.
I couldn't help but step up the steps, my fingers touching the seal, and I saw the power of the pen dripping on it.
"Hey! Where did it come from! Is this a place you casually approach! "A soldier came up with a spear and unceremoniously pushed us away.
Xia Xiying stepped forward to stop him, but I shook my head and told her not to be impulsive first.
Remove the gold chunnery from the wrist and give it to the soldiers.
His face flushed all at once, and Nuno took it.
"May I ask this big brother, why is this place blocked?" I try to appear to be gentle and less anxious.
He said: "Not long ago, Ningxiang Building was closed, and it was obviously doing well, but who knew that suddenly the building would be empty." Later, as soon as they left, the imperial court sent someone to seal this place, as if they wanted to investigate something, and wanted to arrest those people, and I heard that some very serious things were involved. ”
"Thank you, big brother."
I pulled Xia Xiying to a place where there was no one around, I knew that I was about to get nervous, but I didn't dare to show it, the whole person was a taut bowstring, which would break at any time.
"They must have received the wind and grass, maybe, they have long known that the Dark Night Pavilion has a great connection with the previous dynasty." My hands clutched Xia Xiying's sleeves tightly, and the sweat in my palms soaked the sleeves. "No, I'm going to go to the pavilion, maybe something big has happened, I can't sit still!"
Before I could take a step, she pulled me back, and she clasped my shoulders with both hands, with great force.
"Calm down! You're a concubine now, you know! Your every move is watched by tens of millions of people, whether it is the harem or the court, anyone wants you to fall from a high place to the bottom, if, if you go today, it will affect the entire Dark Night Pavilion. "She showed unusual calmness and composure, and the dark pupils had firm strength.
"But, but, I can't sleep at night, I'm worried, I'm ......"
"Is it better for you to be worried, or is it better for the entire Night Pavilion to fall? Do you know what's more important? ”
"I see." I've never felt so powerless, I used to feel that it was the Night Pavilion that was holding me down, that cold-blooded and ruthless place.
But after all, there are my people, my only blood brother.
No matter how much he doesn't like me as a sister, I'm still glad to have him.
I'm afraid I'll be a person again, alone.
"Let's go back."
"Hmm."
