Chapter 23 The King is Exhausted

When I met the lord of Nan'an, a scene had just ended, and the people in the garden gradually dispersed, so Shao Shifang walked gracefully into the garden.

Ye Shuwan was really bored in the house, and sang "Sidi Township" to the ancient trees in the yard

β€”β€”Spring tour, apricot blossoms blow all over the head.

Mo is young and romantic.

She was singing, and out of the corner of her eye, someone behind the rockery kept watching her.

"Who, come out." Wanwan's voice is very clear and transparent, like a pool of cool water.

But I saw a woman in a brocade dress with upturned eyebrows and eyes taking a step forward, followed by two female guards with cold eyes.

"It is said that Miss Awan is a famous character, I have listened to it for so long, and you don't sing very well." Shao Shifang stood under the moon, her bright red robe fluttering in the wind in the moonlight, gilded with a faint glow.

is so straightforward, Ye Shuwan also blocked back, "I'm afraid you don't understand." ”

Shao Shifang glanced at her, raised her eyebrows and asked, "You are the Awan girl that Chu Ruojun has always wanted to protect?" ”

Ye Shuwan nodded, and the county lord was puzzled: "You are so ugly and have such a humble status, why does she want to protect you." ”

"Not everyone is as superficial as you."

The county lord walked up to her, stared at her, and there was a fox-like sly smile in his dark eyes, and said: "You are so sharp-toothed, it's not because you have her as a backer, but it's a pity that you will always drag her back." ”

As she spoke, Shao Shifang stretched out her hand and pinched her chin, "For example, I want to hurt her but I don't know where to start, I can only find the weakest person, that is, you, my silly girl." ”

Ye Shuwan drank some wine, and she didn't think much about it when she was drunk, and opened her mouth to bite her white and tender hand.

Of course, the county lord of Nan'an didn't expect Ye Shuwan to bite her, so she forgot to withdraw her hand in a daze.

It wasn't until blood marks appeared on the white and tender hands that Ye Shuwan realized what she had done, and she hurriedly let go.

"What a guts!" The guards beside the county lord raised their hands to hit her, but the county lord raised his hand to stop her.

She wiped the blood on her hands with a handkerchief, but she was not angry, "Yes, even I dare to bite, and after a little training, maybe even someone will dare to kill someone." ”

Ye Shuwan was a little nervous, looking at her with black and white eyes, "What are you going to do?" ”

"I'm going to deal with Chu Ruojun, I'm looking for your help."

"No way!"

Shao Shifang sat down beside her and showed a smile: "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, since I'm here, I'm sure you'll help me." ”

"Hehe......" Ye Shuwan sneered, "I have been sold to the theater since I was a child, I have no relatives, no sweetheart, only a cheap life, what can you threaten me?" ”

"Yes, for example, yourself?" Shao Shifang took a pale green porcelain bottle from the guard's hand and played with it in the palm of his hand, "Guess what's in this bottle?" ”

"Can't guess."

"Then let me tell you, this is a five-stone powder, Miss Awan should have heard of its name."

Ye Shuwan's pupils suddenly closed: "Five stones scattered." ”

Five stone scattered. This is an addictive drug, which has always been used by bustards to manipulate prostitutes, and if the drug addiction kicks in, if you don't take the medicine in time, it is worse than death, and few people can withstand it.

She has survived on this flower street for so long, how could she not have heard of its name.

Otherwise, those top cards, those oirans, there are guests who spend a lot of money for her every day, and what's more, fill the girl's incense pavilion with gold, and have already saved enough silver to redeem herself, why do you still want to stay in this green building.

It's just that he was controlled by these five stones, and once he left, he had to endure the torment of life being worse than death, and his bones were like ants gnawing at them.

Until death.

"To live or to die, it's up to you." Shao Shifang's voice sounded cold and cold, "If you can kill Chu Ruojun or lead her to the place I designate, after the matter is completed, I will definitely give you an antidote." ”

"How can I believe that you will definitely give me an antidote, in case you turn your face and deny it afterwards, what if you have to kill someone?"

"You can only trust me, there is no other choice."

"Compared to this, I want to know why you have to put Chu Ruojun to death, what did she offend you about?" Ye Shuwan stared at her in a solemn tone.

Shao Shifang squinted her eyes and looked at her, and smiled when she looked at it, "She didn't offend me in any way, she just blocked my way, so you can't blame me." ”

"Do all those who stand in your way have to die?" Ye Shuwan felt that her words were ridiculous.

"Of course." Shao Shifang's tone was light, as if he was saying something very ordinary.

"Hehe......" Ye Shuwan said approvingly, "His Royal Highness the county lord is so ruthless." ”

Before the words fell, the guards beside Shao Shifang took a cold step forward and pinched Ye Shuwan's chin.

Immediately afterwards, he stuffed a jet-black five-stone into her mouth, pushed and slapped it again, and forced her to eat it.

"Ahem......" Ye Shuwan gasped while clasping her throat with her fingers, "You guys...... Vile! ”

"Despicable." Shao Shifang's voice had an indescribable ruthlessness, "As long as it is an effective means to achieve the goal, it doesn't matter whether it is despicable or not." ”

The guard picked Ye Shuwan up from the ground, "This medicine will attack every twelve hours, you better be interesting and don't play any tricks." ”

Ye Shuwan looked at them with wide eyes, and her tone was resolute: "Even if I die, I will not be instructed by you." ”

Shao Shifang smiled coldly, "How many people have said the same, but when the effect of the medicine is played, it is not begging me to have an antidote, in order to cure the medicine, my father and mother can do it, and you are only now, so you can be a little tougher." ”

"Let's go!"

The scarlet became smaller and smaller in her sight, and Ye Shuwan kept clasping her throat with her fingers, even if she broke it, her mouth was full of fishy sweetness, and there was no trace of that small pill.

She finally despaired, she looked at the blood in her hands, and then at the endless dark night outside the wall, and did not speak for a long time.

When Ye Shuwan returned from the courtyard, it was already midnight.

The white satin on her body was embroidered with inky lotus flowers, but she was scarlet, and her fair and slender hands were covered with her own blood.

She lit the lights in the lobby, and the surroundings were quiet and silent, and there was no longer a bit of daytime noise.

She walked on stage and wore a farewell concubine outfit. Flowing clothes with wide sleeves, lotus steps lightly, she sang softly: "The king is exhausted, how can the concubine talk about life." ”

Suddenly, she heard someone say, "What you sing is really not very good." ”

"I came looking for my sister and I don't know where she had gone," he said. ”

He later said: "Wanwan, I don't mind that you are a dramatist, and I don't mind those eyes, I will definitely persuade my father to marry you into the door." ”

The sound passed through the wind in the courtyard, through the flowers on the branches, through the cycle of the four seasons, and the flowers bloomed and fell.

She finally fell on the stage, remembering that she had just been sold into the theater by her parents, and her mother had received two cashiers, and according to the rules of the trade, she had no family since then, she was born in the theater and died in the theater.

Ye Shuwan didn't sing well, so the steward punished her to go to the backyard to practice her voice, she sang all afternoon, her voice was hoarse, and the day she met Chu Shaozhuo was the day she was punished again.

He handed himself a handful of edges and corners, saying that it was his sister's favorite food, and the little girl really ran out, and did not allow her brother to give her all the edges and corners, and divided them with her equally.

The little girl's eyes were shining, and she hugged his legs and coquettishly asked him not to tell his father.

That handful of water chestnuts is so sweet.

Later, I seemed to have suddenly opened my mind, and those songs that I couldn't sing in the past suddenly sang very tactfully, and the aftermath lingered.

They would still come and applaud themselves in the audience, and she still remembered that Chu Shaozhuo's eyes were like a vast galaxy, always full of beautiful stars.

He also said that he would marry himself.

"What you sing, it's really not very good......" Ye Shuwan smiled and laughed and tears fell, "I can't sing hard now...... But you can't hear ......"

In a trance, she seemed to see the young man with handsome eyebrows and smiling eyes, he followed General Chu to the battlefield at the age of fifteen, and was named a first-class general by the emperor at the age of seventeen, and he is the only one who deserves the title of "young hero".

She propped herself up from the stage and looked up at the elegant seat under the stage, but it was empty, and in the dim light, there was no longer the person who called her Wanwan back then.

Looking at the mahogany tea table, she couldn't help it, and tears rained down.

The king is exhausted, and the concubine is not alive.

I couldn't be with you when I was alive, please allow me to be selfish and stay by your side selfishly.

Wanwan's tears were smeared, her face was smeared, and she smiled sadly: "Please allow me to be selfish for once." ”

With that, he stood up from the stage.

Thinking of the three-foot red stage, her first play was to sing "The Drunken Concubine" in a phoenix crown, with a tactful and delicate voice, lingering and reverberating, which made the audience fascinated.

At the end of the play, the audience applauded endlessly, and the applause was thunderous.

She was just about to retreat behind the scenes, and when she turned around, she suddenly heard a soft sound on the stage behind her, "I believe that sooner or later, Miss Wanwan will become a famous character in the imperial city one day." ”

She just turned sideways and looked at the audience against the light.

The brilliance of that body and the smile on his face made him shine like a pearl, just one glance, so that people can never forget it.

Fortunately, I applied a lot of powder on my face to cover the redness from my face to the root of my ears.

Farewell, the stage.

burst into tears in the boundless night, and ran out of the theater in a hurry.

Where she is going and what she is doing, only she knows.

"Shao Zhuo..... Did you know that there was a man in the theater last time, and he had the same name as you? ”

"A year ago, there was a boy who smiled very similar to you, and I accidentally caught a glimpse of him, and I thought it was you, and I fell off the stage carelessly."

"No matter how young I am, I can't refuse a look similar to yours."

"However, even if the name is exactly the same, even if it looks the same, it is not you after all."
