Chapter 21: The Blackened Queen 18
Returning to Willow Lane, Ye Mei's life seems to be back to normal, from the first step into Willow Lane, Ye Mei's mentality is different, she will soon leave Willow Lane, leave this place called hell, and never come back.
Looking at the eunuchs who were called eunuchs here, they all walked past her one by one, and their attitudes towards her changed slightly, no longer the high-minded appearance of the past, and even some even nodded to her.
Everyone here received the information, this Ye Mei is different, followed to the spring hunting, and got the eyes of Mrs. Jin, who is rising like the sun, this Mrs. Jin is really amazing, I heard that His Majesty will go to her tent as soon as he finishes hunting, and he has to be the title of a concubine.
Not to mention, now Ye Mei has the emperor's eyes, as soon as she entered the door in front, someone in the back sent in the reward of this spring hunt, and all her eyes were bright and bright, and she couldn't wait to stick it on, see what treasure was in the box, and see if she could share the cup.
Many women in Willow Lane crushed their handkerchiefs, and they were the ones who longed to be upstarts.
A few families in the harem are happy and a few are worried, this doesn't care about Ye Mei's business, and the door is closed outside.
Usually there are no friends, as soon as there are signs of development, there are many people who come to climb the relationship, no matter who comes, come to sarcasm or to climb the relationship, if you can't see it, you won't see it, and you can feel at ease.
Ye Mei was at ease, and the woman in Liuxiang was even more restless, didn't she have the opportunity to wait for the emperor, she was so arrogant before she waited, and she had to be lawless after waiting.
After both pushed Ye Mei's door open, they told Ye Mei what she heard, and she became angry as she spoke.
"Shuangshuang, don't be angry, I'm not angry yet, you get angry first, let me tell you, people really can't care too much about other people's words in this life, otherwise how tired they will be, they won't be able to eat grapes, and they won't even give others the opportunity to say sour, it's too domineering." Ye Mei said.
"You don't know, no matter how ugly you say, you're about to be rumored to be a demon concubine, and you're still laughing." When they talk about it, they don't get angry, they are all harmed by people who bite their tongues outside.
"Come on, don't be angry, wasn't the Jinmei Sunset still rumored to be the reincarnation of a fox spirit before, isn't it still alive and well." Ye Mei said with a smile.
Speaking of this, Shuangshuang was a little embarrassed, thinking that she was also scolding at the beginning.
"Ye Mei, when did you follow Jin... The sunset is good? After thinking about it, Shuangshuang still asked.
Ye Mei noticed that her expression did not change and said: "The first time we met was in a corner of Willow Lane, I had not yet contacted her at that time, and the real conversation was when I went to the Academy of Letters, I sat down next to her with a book, she admired me, she was willing to help me, next to her, I felt a feeling of quiet years, which I couldn't feel in this messy Willow Lane." ”
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Shuangshuang said that what she actually wanted to ask was: What did you think in your heart when you saw me saying bad things about her in front of you.
"Shuangshuang, I know I shouldn't hide this matter, but I only knew you for a short time at that time, and I have only met Sunset twice, and I don't know how to say it." Ye Mei pondered for a moment and spoke.
"Actually, you haven't considered me your friend all along!" Shuangshuang suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "Only I regarded you as a good friend at the beginning, and told you everything, do you think I am so stupid?" ”
Ye Mei looked at Shuangshuang who began to get excited, a little overwhelmed, some things can't stand scrutiny, some things can't be asked, once you start to get serious and start to investigate, the so-called feelings will also become fragile.
Ye Mei stretched out her hand and pulled Shuangshuang and said, pulled slightly, turned her head and looked at her eyes.
"Shuangshuang, do you know, you are the first girl in this Willow Lane to give me sunshine, I cherish your friendship with me, I don't hide something from you because I don't trust you, it's just that I don't know how to say it, all the favored women in Willow Lane will become the public enemy of the unspoiled woman, I can understand the reason why you hate Sunset, but I won't agree with this kind of behavior, my concept will not integrate with you, and even become the eternal public enemy of the women in Willow Lane......"
"So you just watched me say all kinds of bad things about the sunset in front of you, and I told you the words from others as jokes, seeing that you were in a bad mood, I still used these things to make you happy, what kind of person do you think of me?" Shuangshuang interrupted Ye Mei's words, shook off Ye Mei's hand and stood up.
"Shuangshuang, everyone has things that must be done in life, and I am like this, I have a reason to be close to the sunset, and you won't want to know this reason." Ye Mei then stood up, her tone as calm as possible.
"What is the reason, isn't it just that you want to be rich? I can't say this reason, and if you did, I wouldn't be so embarrassed. Shuangshuang said that if Ye Mei had told her earlier, she would not look down on Ye Mei, and she would be very happy that Ye Mei told her, maybe they could discuss it with each other.
"Not what you think." Ye Mei said.
"It's like this now, you still want to lie to me" Shuangshuang smiled bitterly and said: "Ye Mei, did I say that I am actually very smart, I knew that there was such a day from the day you left a note for me, I thought that you would come to me and tell me automatically, but I still came to you, because ah, I found that you have never taken the initiative to find me, it has always been my wishful thinking." ”
Ye Mei looked at Shuangshuang, looked at it steadily, and then smiled: "Shuangshuang, did you come to break with me today?" ”
Shuangshuang also smiled, smiling even brighter: "If I don't ask today, our friendship will continue." ”
Ye Mei didn't speak, and it seemed that she didn't even want to explain.
"I thought I could hold back and not say it, but when I came, I realized that I couldn't do it." Shuangshuang turned her head and tears finally flowed out, she has never cried in front of people, only the people she cares about can hurt her, and now the people she cares about don't care about her, she can't cry anymore.
Ye Mei turned her head to look at the back of Shuangshuang leaving, clenched her fists, she didn't cry, she couldn't cry, Ye Mei said to herself, it's okay to leave, at least you don't have to hold grievances for her in the future, she has no ability to protect you, you have to be good in the future, he will be rich and rich, and then return this feeling.
It's a pity that he never said that anymore.
That night, a large number of people came, and the willow alley was brightly lit, and Ye Mei was forced to stand in the open space with her clothes on, looking at these intruding eunuchs with other women, with an ugly expression.
A group of women gathered together and looked at the enclosed circle, "Search, search carefully for me, dare to commit a crime under the Son of Heaven, it seems that it is a long life." The eunuch at the head had a very bad face, and looked at the woman who was surrounded and said viciously.
"Is the chief manager mistaken, we weak women dare not make a mistake." A woman who recognized the other party walked out delicately and took a few steps forward and said.
"Go down, is there something that you didn't have the final say, you were searched out, and the miscellaneous family made you look good." The eunuch said.
"No, I don't know my lord, what is the search for so much, or don't say it, see if the sisters have a clue, and tell the adults." The woman continued.
"Today, the emperor received a report that someone had hidden the things of the witch clan in Willow Lane, this is a big taboo, and it is a big taboo to find out that it is necessary to connect the nine clans, how can anyone know, if you don't report it, you will be guilty of one more degree, and now someone has taken the initiative to turn himself in, and the miscellaneous family can go back to restore their lives." The steward said, scanning the crowd to see if there were any suspicious people.
Hearing this, the crowd began to get agitated, this is not a trivial matter, it will cost people's lives, I think that the prince is now washed in blood because of this matter, it is said that the prince's position will be replaced sooner or later, and even the current prince is punished like this, not to mention that these people are not in the limelight yet, and now they come out to commit crimes against the wind, aren't they looking for death?
Ye Mei listened to the whispering voices around her, her eyes accidentally collided with Shuangshuang, something flashed in her mind, and she heard the sound of the search report before she could catch it.
"Your Excellency, there is a situation." The man said and handed over the things in his hand, and for some reason, Ye Mei's heart suddenly beat faster, and a bad premonition struck.
With this premonition, the steward opened the things in his hand, and a red nine-tailed fox appeared in front of everyone, and everyone also saw clearly what the steward was in his hand, which was a handkerchief.
"Where did you find this?"
"Lord Hui, it was searched in Ye Cairen's room Ye Mei."
After the words fell, Ye Mei walked out of the crowd and half-knelt down: "Tell my lord, this is indeed my handkerchief, but it is embroidered with a fox and not a thing of the witch clan." ”
"Ridiculous, how can there be a fox with nine tails in the world, and the miscellaneous family looks like a foreign thing." The manager said that he threw the handkerchief to his subordinates on the side, for fear of causing bad luck.
"This is the nine-tailed fox, the world is so big that there are no surprises, and if you haven't seen it, it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist." Ye Mei said neither humbly nor arrogantly, but it didn't look like she had done something unspeakable, but the manager didn't eat it.
"Rhetoric, someone will take her down." With a wave of his hand, the two eunuchs in gray clothes caught Ye Mei.
Ye Mei didn't struggle, she couldn't earn others, and she wanted to argue when the time came to face the saint, but the head manager didn't plan to give her this opportunity.
Because the search hasn't been completed yet, Ye Mei can't be taken away directly, and the head manager seems to be quite interested in Ye Mei, who is not afraid of death, so he walked in and took a look.
"I've seen someone who isn't afraid of death, it's a pity, this looks weird and handsome, and if he dies, he has to connect the nine clans, spray." The steward pretended to be pity.
"My lord, Ye Mei hasn't faced the saint yet, why is she going to die?" Ye Mei said.
"Yo, I don't know yet, this is young and ignorant, this kind of thing still uses a face saint, and the miscellaneous family was ordered to directly press you to death row and be beheaded tomorrow, and face the saint?" After the master finished speaking, he ignored Ye Mei.
Ye Mei's ears echoed with the sound of tomorrow's beheading, she was going to die tomorrow? No, she can't die yet. Ye Mei thought of this and began to struggle.
