Thinking that Chu Hui was deflated in front of the emperor, Phantom Flower was even more happy in her heart, she took off the smoke-pink dress, threw it on the bed, and changed into the water-blue long skirt she wore on weekdays.

Chun'er came in with medicine, saw her relaxed appearance, and smiled: "What's the matter, what did the emperor reward you, so happy?" ”

"It's nothing, I'm unbanned, haven't I?" Phantom Flower heard that when Ye Huanwen went out, he removed several family members.

"yes, so what do you want to do?" Chun'er asked.

"I want to go out for a walk and see the night view of the General's Mansion, don't follow me." The phantom hand was placed in front of Chun'er, "Chun'er, you have pity on me, but I was taken care of when I entered the General's Mansion, and now that I am finally free, you will let me experience it alone." ”

"Good, good." Chun'er said, "Then you have to drink this medicine first, otherwise you will be tired, and you won't be able to stand it." ”

Phantom Flower drank the medicine, and drank so quickly that she choked and coughed, Chun'er helped her pat and rub, and it took her a while to recover, but she didn't have any energy at all, and she fell asleep on the bed. When she woke up, it seemed to be dawn.

Phantom Flower got up lightly, got out of bed, and pushed open the window, there was a lot of fog outside, and there were many shadows around, and the silence was abnormal, which was extremely mysterious.

"Chun'er?" Phantom Flower exclaimed.

No one answered, Chun'er is not here, where did she go?

Phantom Flower found a thick velvet cloak, draped it on her body, went downstairs, walked to the courtyard gate, and found that the courtyard gate was hidden, and the guards were sleeping on the wall.

Phantom Flower stepped over from her outstretched legs, and she wanted to take advantage of the fog to go to a place and discover a secret.

When she stayed in Lan Ruoge on the first night, she was sad and couldn't sleep, she looked far away in the night, saw her mother in a hurry, went to the back garden alone, disappeared for a while, and then reappeared. Quirky in the back garden.

Reason tells her that she should not do anything that angers her mother, but the rebellion that arises from her captivity makes her decide that she must know her mother's secret, why does her mother no longer shush her? Why was he so cold to her?

Today Chun'er is not here, today coincides with the fog, today she has been lifted, and today she is free.

She strolls around the back garden, what's not to do?

She had always had a good memory, and she had a good sense of direction, and she went to the back garden in the fog, to the place where her mother wandered, and then, not too unexpectedly, she made a surprising discovery.

There, under the octagonal pavilion shaded by bushes, there is a deep cave.

Should she go down and find out?

She was hesitating when the sound of Si Si Suo came from the cave, and she quickly hid in the dense bushes on the other side.

A man slowly crawled out of the cave, tinkered with the cave for a long time, straightened up, moved his waist, and then walked away quickly, passing by the place where the phantom flower was hiding.

Phantom held her breath and didn't move.

That person was Chun'er, and Chun'er had a basket in her hand, and Phantom Flower could even distinguish the smell of the basket. Chun'er must have brought food to the people in the cave.

Phantom Flower peeled off the camouflage that Chun'er had made, found the rope, and carefully slipped down, the hole was not too deep, but it was very wide, although there was a damp smell, but there was no other unpleasant smell, obviously someone cleaned it up.

There is a candle burning in the cave.

The phantom flower was frightened there, and under the candlelight, a woman in black sat quietly behind the stone case, looking at her while eating, her eyes glowing with a strange ghostly light.

What a face that woman had!

It was like being cut by a knife, like being burned by fire, like being bitten by wild beasts.

The hand, the skin of the arm that leaked outward, all the same.

Phantom Flower slowly retreated, and the woman suddenly put down the chopsticks in her hand and said, "You finally appeared in front of me." ”

The phantom flower had no way to retreat, leaning against the cave wall, but the woman's gentle sigh made her emboldened, "You know me? Who are you? She asked in a trembling voice.

"A man who should have died." The woman was supposed to be laughing, but it was even uglier and scary.

"My mother saved you?" Phantom Flower Road, my mother asked Chun'er to deliver food, so she was naturally taking care of her.

"Saved me? Do you think she's saving me? The woman shook her head, "I'm a person like me, no ghost or ghost, living in pain, not seeing the light of day, is she saving me?" ”

"You want to get out?" Phantom Flower asked softly, at this time she had noticed that the woman's ankle was locked with a thin steel cable, she was not free, she was imprisoned here by her mother.

"I'm going to die if I get out." The woman burst into tears, "I don't know if she's saving me or hurting me, I can't tell the difference from the day we met." ”

As Phantom Hua was saying something, the woman suddenly pointed to her fingers and said "shhhh ”

Phantasmal Flower did so, for she had heard someone coming down the rope, and the stone bed had a small door that was hollow inside.

"You've found out if you want to breathe, I'm really unlucky." The woman seemed to have fallen to the ground, and her voice was cold.

"It's a bad day today, what's the breath? Chun'er's food is delicious. It was the gentle voice of the mother, right next to it, by the stone bed.

"I eat everything the same, you don't have to bother, I don't want to say anything to you, you can go quickly." The woman was straightforward.

"Yesterday, I saw the emperor, the emperor's majesty is still there, you will die without a place to be buried when you go out, you don't have to resent me so much, even if he sees you, what can he do, your face is so ugly, will he still love you like meat in his heart? What's more, if you do things with others, he already hates you to the bone, and the only one who can help you is me, after all, I am your little aunt. "My mother turned out to be the little aunt of this ugly girl.

"It's all thanks to you, you ruined my life." The ugly woman has hatred in her heart.

"Your life never belonged to you, I warned you, didn't I? If it doesn't belong to you, you should bear the fate that belongs to you, so it's not just you who will be saved, but also our people. The mother's voice has never been colder.

"Saved? When I saw my mother die under the ancient tree in the Temple of the Moon, I knew that everything you said was a lie, and that I would never let me fall victim to your shady purposes again. The ugly girl sneered, "Don't waste your tongue, go back quickly, or your general's husband will be suspicious." ”

"Would you rather your daughter live like you?" There was a threat in the mother's voice.

"My daughter?" The ugly girl laughed, "Didn't I strangle her to death?" Why did I strangle her, didn't I just want her to bear what she shouldn't have? ”

If it weren't for Phantom Flower covering her mouth in advance, she would really make a sound, there is such a cruel mother in the world who strangles her child with her own hands? Why?
