Chapter Forty-Eight: I Really Left the Palace
Follow Xiaorui to the princess, the princess's face has been better than before, I don't know how many times, the princess smiled at me, and then asked the nurse to bring the baby to me, this is the first time I have seen the princess's daughter, such a small one, soft and sweet and glutinous, her eyelashes are still a short tuft of milky white, eyes, eyebrows are very similar to the princess, but the outline of the mouth is the appearance of the prince, obviously such a small person, can actually see who is like.
"Xiaorui, you take the nurse and Huan'er down first."
It turned out that the name of this little girl was Huan'er, and when she heard this name, she knew that it gave the meaning of joy.
"Nan Kite, I already know about Ah Qing, the deceased has passed away, the same as the matter of the third brother, you have to be able to see it."
The princess called me over, and it was definitely not just for this matter, so I nodded and waited for her to follow.
"In the future, you should go to the Ling Mansion with Gu Ran, it is no longer safe for you to stay in the palace."
"It's not safe, I really don't know where to start, since you are really good for me, princess, it is better to tell me everything about it, I don't want to keep it in the dark."
Yan Bei Shen and the princess have an unusual relationship, and now Yan Bei Shen is obviously colliding with the princess and then being given to death, but I see that the princess accepted it too quickly, what is the reason for this, I want to figure out, not to mention that her current sentence makes me even more confused.
"Only those who are confused will live better, you just need to remember that you must never go back to the palace in the future, you and the palace must be clean and thorough, I am sleepy, you go down, Gu Ran will come to pick you up early tomorrow morning."
The princess said very decisively, as if she was saying goodbye to me, I couldn't say how I felt, so I had to retreat, I had no place to go tonight, it turned out that the bamboo house in the princess had been assigned to the new nurse, just when I was about to disturb Xiaorui to sleep with her for a night, a half-sized figure rushed up and hugged my legs, I looked down and saw who else could this villain in a thick leather jacket but Gu Yu.
"Where have you been, I've been looking for you for a long time, Sister Nan Kite."
I squatted down and touched his little red face, "Haven't I come back, how have you been studying your homework lately?" ”
Children generally don't like sensitive topics like adults asking about homework, but he looked at me proudly, "Of course I studied well, and my aunt praised me the day before yesterday." ”
Aunt, his aunt is not the princess's aunt, that is Princess De'an.
"Yes, don't be proud, you have to study harder." Obviously, when I was a child, I hated reading the most, but when I grew up, I told the next generation to study hard, which is really ironic.
In the end, the nurse who took care of the little world came over, and then took him away, before leaving, he also said that he would come to me again tomorrow, but I couldn't make an agreement with him, the child is the most fancy the promise of the agreement, if I agreed and lost my word, he was afraid that he would hate me to death.
After leaving the palace tomorrow, I will never be able to come back, while there is still time, I have to say goodbye to Xiaoling Fangtian and Ge Wei, I am afraid that in the future, I can only wait for them to leave the mansion before we can get together.
Out of the princess, I walked along the road to Lan Qingyuan again, now the fire in Lan Qingyuan has almost been extinguished, only a little black smoke is still rising, now it will be night, the people in the house are busy cleaning up dinner, no one has come here.
The inside of Lanqing Garden has been burned beyond the mask by the fire, except for the gate is still preserved, the rest of the place is all scorched black, this fire is too abrupt, there will be showers tomorrow, and it can actually burn in such a humid situation, I always feel that this fire is not providential, but man-made, but who would care so much about Lanqing Garden, a place that has been deserted, and it will be set on fire and destroyed before stopping.
Gu Yanbai's room burned so much that even the windows fell off, and the tables, chairs, and benches inside burned to the point that only some ashes remained, I remembered one thing, there was a secret passage under this bed before, I don't know if it would be burned and exposed, but it turned out that I thought too much, I don't know if the entrance of this secret passage was sealed, it couldn't be opened at all, it had been burned to death along with the floor, it seemed that this fire buried this secret passage permanently.
After walking out of the room, I walked in the direction of the pear tree, but found that I could not see the pear tree at all, because the whole house next to the pear tree was collapsed here, and the wooden beams, tiles, and layers were piled up in one place, and there was no trace of the pear tree.
I went back to my room, and it was a little better, except that the bed had been burned down and a beam had collapsed, but it was no longer inhabitable.
I hid the fifty taels of silver in the clay pot under the bed, bent down and groped under the bed, and finally fished out the clay pot, opened it and looked at it, but fortunately, the silver in it and the original pawnshop bills were still there.
In addition to this silver, there was nothing else worth taking away in the room, and the stove outside the house that had been boiling water had long been extinguished, and the water in the kettle had been cold, but I still poured myself a glass, and then took out a square cloth from the closet, packed the silver, and stuffed a few more clothes, and when I left the room, I did not look back, and I did not dare to look back, after all, now things are wrong, but I am afraid that everything is not possible.
It is most convenient to find Ge Wei, he originally followed the side concubine, and later followed the housekeeper to do things, I only told him that I was going to leave the palace to take care of Gu Ran in the future, and then gave him ten taels of silver, as a little thank you for my care over the years.
"Nan Kite, since your father-in-law is dead, why don't you find a new home?"
Gervais startled me by saying this, he was interested in me, I knew it, but I couldn't agree to it.
"Ge Wei, do you know that there is a saying that the human heart is not a fan, but for the sake of greed, it can be flipped arbitrarily, although my father-in-law is gone, but I want to keep a widow for him for a lifetime." This sentence is the best word I can think of at the moment, the most I have for Ge Wei is only the feelings of a friend, but it is different for Yan Beishen, even if he only appeared after I fell in love with Gu Yanbai, but I still fell, thinking about it like this, I really have no future.
"Why can't it, if I can't compare to the third young master, then I admit it, but Ah Qing is just an ugly-looking martial artist, how can I be worse than him!" As he spoke, Ge Wei also grabbed my arm hard, his face was very bad, and I realized that he was always a man, even if he couldn't hold me, but it was still easy to restrain me.
Out of nowhere, a stone struck Ge Wei in the head, and he covered his head in pain, and I took advantage of the situation to escape, looking around and seeing nothing.
Xiao Ling and Fang Tian I met together later, in fact, although the two of them hid the matter to the death, but I am not a fool, I naturally saw it, they are already together, every time they received the silver before, it was Xiao Ling Ling, and then today when they followed the prince to Lan Qingyuan, Fang Tian secretly grabbed Xiao Ling's hand.
"Fang Day, Xiaoling is a slippery girl, but she has a very kind heart, you can't bully her, I can be regarded as her mother's family."
Xiao Ling saw that I said it so bluntly, she was actually embarrassed, her cheeks were flushed and she waved her hand lightly against Fang Tian, she probably thought that Fang Tian told me this.
"It hurts, it hurts, you can take it lightly." As soon as Fang Tian shouted that it hurt, Xiaoling immediately asked him where he was hurting, and sure enough, he was a man and woman in love, and it was really enviable to look at.
In the end, I slept with Xiaorui alive for one night, Xiaorui knew that I was leaving the palace, although I didn't say it, but I could also see that she was a little sad, I couldn't imagine that I was so unsmart that there could be a few people who were really good to me.
The next day, Gu Ran came to the house to pick me up, and I happened to run into Gu Xiaoxiao.
Gu Xiaoxiao looked at the package I was carrying, and the maid next to her said something embarrassing to me.
"Hey, being a slave at the same time, how come you actually have belongings, but if you leave the palace with your front foot, you will lose something in the palace with your back foot, then it is reasonable to explain, otherwise let me check it."
"That's right, it's the same minion, how can someone be cheaper."
"Nan Kite, do you think that if you follow Mrs. Ling, you can fake the tiger and become powerful, we have to see your burden today, and we have to see it if you don't look at it!"
Gu Ran was about to help me speak, but I threw the burden on the ground, just look at it, anyway, I don't have to deal with them in the future.
"Miss, the southern kite is a thief, you see there is a lot of silver here!"
I forgot that there was still this stubble, yes, there were forty taels of silver left in it.
At this time, Gu Xiaoxiao finally had an excuse to teach me a lesson, her maid handed her the silver, but she threw the silver on the ground, "Nan Kite, it's not good to learn, you have to learn from the gentleman on the beam, you can't even be a subordinate now, Xiao Fen, go and call the housekeeper to report to the official!" ”
"Wait, I sold gold and silver items to get this money, and there are pawn tickets in the pawnshop, don't believe it yourself!" In addition to the clothes and silver in the package, there are naturally pawn tickets.
I handed over the pawn ticket on the ground, and after Gu Xiaoxiao read it, he turned around and hit Xiao Fen, "If you don't look at it clearly, you will shout indiscriminately!" ”
Xiao Fen, who was beaten, could only lower her head and grit her teeth and stare at me, it was clear that it was not me who hit her, but she hated me, which was really strange.
After I packed the package again, Gu Ran pulled me behind me, "Second sister, you are about to marry the crown prince, if you let His Royal Highness the crown prince know that his future side concubine will be revenged, do you think it is appropriate?" ”
As soon as he heard the words of His Royal Highness the Prince, Gu Xiaoxiao became even more proud, "You also know that I am about to become the prince's side concubine, so you have to bow respectfully when you see me in the future, otherwise you can do one today for me to see, lest I make mistakes in the future and make people laugh and be generous, Mrs. Ling, what do you say." ”
Gu Ran is her sister-in-law, how can Gu Xiaoxiao call her a young lady Ling, she is really not as good as an outsider, but Gu Ran is not angry at all, but she smiled at her, "Then I have to wait for Miss Gu Er to enter the prince's mansion, and then I will definitely let my father-in-law and mother-in-law come together to congratulate you, I think you are also happy to see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Subsequently, Gu Ran pulled me out of King Kang's Mansion no matter how bad Gu Xiaoxiao's face was, not wanting me to really leave this palace where I had lived for several years.
