Chapter 6: Waiting in the Pavilion of the Bright Moon
It was another long dream, only this time it wasn't Xu Yang and my children.
In my dream, I went back to the year I graduated from junior high school, my father died of illness, and my mother committed suicide because she couldn't bear the great pain. I stood by the bathtub and watched my mother lay lifeless, smiling in the blood-stained bathtub.
Before the high school entrance examination, I really wanted to try what it was like to cut my wrists, so I cut it with my father's razor blade, but my aunt who took me in was blamed by a group of relatives, and no relatives have been willing to take me in since then.
In fact, I didn't really want to die when I cut my wrists, I just couldn't figure it out, and I thought that cutting my wrists might not hurt much, so my mother chose that way to leave.
There were no big ups and downs in this dream, only the depression I was familiar with, so that I couldn't breathe, so much so that I took several deep breaths after waking up, and my chest was still dull.
I'm a little used to Xuanhu coming and going, she slowly appeared, put her hand on her lips and "shh
I looked around, and although the bed was still so large, it was clearly not the one I slept on. Even though the curtains were all pulled down, I could still see figures coming through the curtains.
Xuanhu sat next to me, sighed and said, "I didn't expect you to ask King Duan for help on the condition of subduing Xuancang. ”
I kept the volume down to the lowest, "You should know better than I do that that virtuous king is simply unreliable. ”
"Do you know, King Xian once told me some things in the past, King Duan's methods of doing things are more ruthless than King Xian, and King Xian will at least read ...... me to him."
"Where will he miss your infatuation, he will never let me out of his control, I promised to take you to Lingmu Valley, I can only think of other ways. What's more, what did King Xian say about King Duan's thoughts, how can you understand? Maybe he's just deliberately scaring you away from Duanwang, right? ”
Xuanhu lowered her head and thought for a long time, then sighed, I knew that she recognized my judgment.
"Xuanhu, I know that you are burdened with a sea of blood and hatred, but you see that you have been with King Xian for ten years, and he didn't say that if he wants to drink blood, he will immediately release your blood, you should know better than me, what are you in his eyes. I know I shouldn't use your Xuancang as a bargaining chip, but I only have this one card in my hand, and Duanwang is afraid that he only looks at this one card, right? ”
She looked sideways at me, "Sister Wei, Xuanhu's life is also a card." ”
This girl is really, I lifted the quilt and covered her and me in the quilt to insulate the sound, "My princess, your life is guarded by King Xian, although King Duan also cares, but he knows that King Xian will not let you die, so King Duan can ignore you and let King Xian torture you." On the day you lived or died, King Duan saw that this life was still there, so he put you again, oh no, and left me to King Xian to deal with, did you forget? ”
Xuanhu suddenly laughed, "What are you dying." ”
"Ah, that's what it means, anyway." I bared my teeth and smiled at her. Xuanhu is really still a little girl, and she will laugh when she hears funny content, which is simply pitiful.
"But Sister Wei, why don't you talk to King Xian about subduing Xuan Cang? If you take this matter as a guarantee, King Xian will also allow you to go back to Xuancang Lingmu Valley. ”
"What are you kidding?"
I patted Xuanhu's hand and felt pain in my wrist, and after a closer look, I found that the wound on my wrist had been bandaged properly, so I continued: "You haven't been able to get any kind treatment from King Xian for ten years, I just think that you should have thought of all the methods you can think of in King Xian, and it is useless." But on Duanwang's side, you don't seem to know much, instead of wasting my energy on the Xianwang's side, it's better to change the target directly. ”
Xuanhu nodded, but pondered for a while before asking, "Sister Wei, you don't really want to help Yeyou subdue Xuancang, right?" ”
"Of course not! Why should I help them? If I really had a chance, I would be willing to gather the Xuancang people to restore the country or something. I didn't mean to say a word, but I saw a strange light in Xuanhu's eyes from the light that penetrated through the gap in the quilt, and I quickly added: "But you see, now I can't protect myself, I'm afraid I don't have that kind of opportunity." So now let's think about how to deal with Duanwang. ”
"But what I've said to King Duan in the past ten years may not be more than a hundred sentences in total, and I really don't know anything about King Duan...... Oh, by the way, Sister Wei, about four or five months ago, I heard from the palace maids that there was a concubine in the Duanwang Palace who was pregnant. Now that you have been placed in Haoyue Pavilion by King Duan, you don't know that Haoyue Pavilion is not far from the pregnant concubine's bedroom. ”
It seems that Xuanhu really wants to help me, but her information can only prove that Duanwang has fertility at most. But I couldn't ignore her kindness, so I patted her hand again, "Well, thanks, I'll figure out how to find a breakthrough from here." ”
Xuanhu asked me if I wanted to sleep a little more before dawn, and she went to visit my children and asked me to relieve the pain of missing my children in my dreams.
Do you need to ask this question? I hurriedly lay down and counted the sheep with my eyes closed, waiting for Xuanhu to send Xiaoying Xiaoze into my dreamland.
Duanwang's mansion is called Duanyang Palace, the place where Duanwang usually handles affairs and sleeps alone is called Muyang Palace, and the Haoyue Pavilion where I live is the closest residence for female dependents to Muyang Palace - this is what the palace maid who got up early to comb my hair told me. Then I learned from her conversation with another palace maid that the place where I used to live was called Luoying Pavilion, next to King Xianyang's Palace.
The palace maids in the Luoying Pavilion rarely speak, in contrast, the palace maids in the Haoyue Pavilion are much more lively, all of them are only fourteen or fifteen years old, and they always have a smile on their faces. The palace maid who combed my hair was called Guoguo, and she had two deep dimples, which was very cute.
I've never said anything to the palace maid of the Sakura Pavilion, and I know with my knees that the palace maid arranged by King Xian must not only serve me, but also play the role of a monitor camera. This Haoyue Pavilion is really a little weird, all the palace maids are innocent and sincere, and they can't see the slightest shadow of conspiracy at all.
At first, Guoguo looked for something to chat with me, but I was just a simple perfunctory, and she took the trouble to follow me for a few days, always talking to me, and talking about something innocuous and insignificant.
The wound on the wrist healed quickly, and Guoguo also took medicine and dressing according to the instructions of the imperial doctor, and after only a week or so, there was only a shallow trace left on the wrist.
I thought that King Duan would come to me soon to ask about subduing Xuan Cang, but this person was more patient than I thought, the more time passed, the more worried my heart became, I began to wonder if my judgment was wrong, maybe King Duan didn't care so much about Xuan Cang's problem, and even worried that King Duan would throw me into the hands of King Xian one day.
Every day Guoguo is helping me find something to kill time, embroidery I can't learn, do a little handicraft can also, the most difficult may be to reclaim the land for a small-scale planting, and exercise without brains.
