Chapter 17 The red face is not old and the grace is broken first
Since Cao Pi went away angrily yesterday, Zhen Mi has not entered half a meter of water for a day and a night. Just stroking the piano in despair, the sound of the piano echoing in the empty palace, even more sad.
"Your Majesty once said that she likes me to play the piano the most, saying that listening to my piano sound will make her feel better. However, the piano is still there, but the people are no more. ”
The jade hand gently brushed the long strings of the guqin, like smoke, and the past seemed to be vivid. Their encounter, the flowers and candles in their cave room, the birth of Cao Rui and Cao Aya, and the happiness of each scene are now only heartache.
"What the hell did I do wrong, why, why did I ......" tears poured down, wetting my clothes. Zhen Mi's already hoarse voice was teasing.
The eyes of the relatives were tired, and the jade face was full of sorrow. Zhen Mi's tears poured down, and her washed face shimmered in the residual light. Pluck the strings with your fingers. The sound of the piano rises again, and it is even more mournful. The fingertips snapped, and the sound of the piano became more and more urgent, and the sound of the piano became more and more painful to hear.
"Madame!"
Feng Xiang pounced on Zhen Mi and held Zhen Mi, who was about to go crazy. With tears streaming down his face, he picked up Zhen Mi's finger that had been cut due to too much force, and the blood did not stop, and the red was shocking.
Zhen Mi, who was stopped, was instantly crushed, and tears welled up and cried bitterly. What pain could be more painful for her than her husband's distrust. He was her heaven, and if it all collapsed today, everything would be meaningless.
The entire Changfeng Palace was empty as if it had been abandoned. Except for the two gatekeepers, there was not even a single slave or maid left in the entire courtyard. Biyu is dusty, and the scenery is depressed, as if entering a cold palace.
"In the past, it was still beautiful, but now it has become this situation, and there is no one to report it." Xiao Manman followed Chai Xuan into the empty Changfeng Palace with emotion.
The guards guarding the door were ordered to guard Zhen Mi, so they didn't care about reporting such a trivial matter. Although Cao Pi asked people to look at Zhen Mi, he did not prohibit others from visiting. Perhaps, he probably didn't think anyone would want to see her.
"'The red face is not old and the grace is broken first, and the smoke cage is reclined and sits until the dawn.'" There are a few women who are close to the palace who can start and finish well, and it is good that there has never been grace, but it is good that there is and it is lost, that is from heaven to hell. ”
Chai Xuan, who had few negative emotions, suddenly sighed, which surprised Xiaoman. If you don't understand the verse, forget it, but what kind of distance is this 'heaven to hell'. Although I don't understand it very well, I can probably quit, which is not a good meaning.
Before entering the door, he heard intermittent crying from inside the house, Chai Xuan's heart tightened, it was not that he came at this time. Thinking carefully about my own mind to find the truth, it seems to be revealing other people's shortcomings. Isn't it okay, but if it's really as rumored, wouldn't it......
Stopped outside the door and hesitated for a long time, Chai Xuan still didn't have the courage to step in. Chang Qi's eyes sank, and he turned around to leave. But as soon as he turned around and took a step, he heard someone behind him ask questions.
"Who are you?" It turned out to be Feng Xiang who went out.
Feng Xiang, who finally calmed Zhen Mi down, finally persuaded Zhen Mi to eat something. hurriedly went out of the door to find food, but I didn't expect to bump into Chai Xuan.
"Aunt Feng, this is Chai Guiren." Xiaoman introduced, "When my nobleman heard that Mrs. was leaving, he brought some snacks to see Mrs. ”
Now, there is one who really wants to see Madame. The so-called Chai nobleman in front of him had never come to see Zhen Mi from beginning to end, why did he hear that Zhen Mi was leaving, so he hurriedly ran over. In addition to falling into the well, that is, sprinkling salt on the wound, what other good things can be.
"Chai Guiren is really kind-hearted, why did he see that my wife was down, so he was in a hurry to see the excitement! I'm sorry, but my wife is resting, and I don't see you! ”
Feng Xiang held her red eyes, staring at Chai Xuan's teeth in front of her. was furious, for fear that the person in front of him would become unprepared and act arbitrarily.
Chai Xuan looked back and looked at Feng Xiang fixedly. Dressed in apricot-colored clothes and slightly white green silk, he seems to be much older than back then. Glancing at the deeper and deeper wrinkles, Chai Xuan lowered her eyes and said lightly.
"Aunt Feng, Mrs. Zhen has always relied on people I respect, and I didn't come to see Mrs. to see any jokes, let alone to fall into the ground. I, Chai Xuan, came to see my husband and wife as an old man, but I just wanted to send my wife. ”
Feng Xiang's eyebrows were tightly locked, and she looked Chai Xuan up and down carefully, most of the people Zhen Mi had seen herself, but the impression in front of her didn't seem to be very deep. "The deceased? If it is really Madame's old friend, why didn't you come earlier, now that you have come, who will believe it! Go away, Madame doesn't want to see you."
It can be seen that Feng Xiang did not let down her guard against Chai Xuan, Zhen Mi was too fragile at this time, and she would not allow anyone to hurt her in any name.
"Aunt Feng......"
Xiao Man saw that Feng Xiang had misunderstood, and wanted to step forward to explain, but was stopped by Chai Xuan.
"Xiaoman, Aunt Feng is right. I didn't come early or late, but I came at this time, I really can't say it. But Chai Xuan really didn't expect that Zhen Mi would be defeated so quickly.
Chai Xuan looked at the food box in Xiao Man's hand helplessly, and Xiao Man specially told him to bring it. I don't think I'll need it at this point. "Since my aunt is suspicious of us, I guess Mrs. doesn't bother to ask for the things she brings!"
"You guys go quickly, don't disturb Madame's rest." Feng Xiang turned his head and his tone was a little stiff.
The sound of the piano in the door suddenly rose, intermittently like crying and complaining. Looking deeply at the closed door, Chai Xuan sighed heavily. The thoughts when I came inadvertently seemed to have been completely forgotten, and at this moment, I was standing outside the door and didn't know how to play the piano, but I was full of sadness.
The layers of sadness in this piano sound are what they are sentimental. Is it sighing about his fate or hurting his love. Just a wall away, the overflowing infinite sorrow made Chai Xuan's heart tremble slightly, her starry eyes were dark, she tapped her forehead, and turned back.
"Noble, shall we go back now?" Xiaoman asked. It's really a bit unwilling to run empty like this.
The starry eyes were slightly sunken, and Chai Xuan looked at the stone road full of backwards under her feet, and she was very sad. Recalling the first time I saw Zhen Mi, the gentleness like water and the fairy-like demeanor were unforgettable.
It is said that a husband and wife are a hundred days a day, Cao Pi listened to the rumors and was so cruel to Zhen Mi, and could he have read that she gave birth to children for the Cao family. But if these rumors are true, how can Cao Pi be blamed for being ruthless?
"Xiaoman, do you believe Mrs. Zhen's rumors?" Chai Xuan asked with a twisted eyebrow, and secretly played a small drum in her heart.
Zhen Mi has been in Yecheng for so long, and her care for Cao Zhi is even more visible to everyone. In the face of a handsome and rich young man with poetry and books, if he really has no feelings, few people will believe it.
"Nobleman, people are terrible. Whether it's true or not, having such a rumor is enough to make His Majesty thunder angry. Xiao Man said softly.
"What if it was wronged? Your Majesty doesn't want to find out, Mrs. Zhen has been his wife for many years, so she doesn't trust her so much? ”
Chai Xuan still has some trust in Zhen Mi in her heart, she really doesn't want to believe that Zhen Mi is really a person who is easy to be seduced by 'beauty'.
The more she thought about it, the more annoyed Chai Xuan couldn't help but raise her voice, and the frightened Xiaoman hurriedly stopped Chai Xuan's words. "Noble, the little fairy has ears on the wall. These are His Majesty's decisions, and no matter how righteous you are, it will not help. Besides, whether it's true or not, you and I have no way of knowing, how can we make a hasty conclusion? ”
"Know?" Chai Xuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and rolled her black eyes in surprise. "That's right, that means I just need to find someone who stays by Zhen Mi's side for a long time, can't I ask."
Moreover, there are many old people around Cao Pi. Those people, who have nothing to do all day long, must keep an eye on these scandals. More or less, there will always be some known.
"What do you mean, noble?"
Xiao Man stared at Chai Xuan puzzled, tilted his head to look at the evil smile on his face, presumably Chai Xuan had some idea in his stomach. I didn't feel like I was in good spirits, and I had to make emergency preparations in advance.
In Changshu Palace, the fragrance lingers.
Pan Xuedie's eyes drooped slightly, and she stared at Cao Rui, who was fiddling with chess pieces on the desk. Although her skills in playing chess are not high, Cao Rui is born with a special interest in chess.
"Shuyuan, you see that this prince is so interested in playing chess at such a young age. In the future, he must be a master of chess. He Yue praised with joy, causing Pan Xue to be overjoyed.
"Mother, can Rui'er go play for a while after learning a game of chess?" Cao Rui pouted, blushed and asked. His eyes casually glanced to the side.
His eyes flickered slightly, and he caught a glimpse of the wooden model airplane on the table next to him, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly. That model Cao Rui almost couldn't put it down, and even had to hold it when she slept. A small gadget can hold her child's heart firmly, and I don't know how much thought she has come up with in order to hold the emperor.
"Rui'er, you have to remember. You are a prince, you should read more and be literate, and don't lose your mind by playthings. Pan Xue gently held Cao Rui's little head and said with a loving face.
Cao Rui nodded as if she didn't understand, reluctantly looked at the wooden plane lying on the side, lowered her head a little aggrievedly, and continued to fiddle with the black and white things in her hand.
"Qi Yu Shuyuan, Chai Guiren is here."
Suddenly, a small yellow door came in, Pan Xue's face changed slightly, and she immediately smiled and said, "Please come in." ”
Looking back at Cao Rui, he instructed He Yue: "He Yue, take the prince down!" ”
"Whoa!" He Yue hugged Cao Rui and retreated from the back of the hall.
Pan Xue paused for a moment, raised her little face and got up to greet Chai Xuan, who had already entered the door.
"Sister Xuan, you haven't been here for a few days." With a faint smile on her face, Pan Xue pulled Chai Xuan to sit down in front of her seat.
"Chu Die, I came to you today because I want to ask you something." Chai Xuan said directly.
