Chapter 3 Like a Dream
Su Mi has been having nightmares.
She only felt that the darkness was piling up from all directions, drowning her layer by layer, and soon she could not see anything, she could not hear anything, she was so tired that it was difficult to even move her fingers, and her body seemed to float in a void, empty, but it seemed to be held by many invisible hands, unable to break free.
In a trance, she seemed to be back in the palace that day.
Su Mi and Wei Qing'er haven't gone out these days, and the two most active people are not interested, let alone others. In the entire delicate palace where Concubine Rou lived, an eerie silence spread. No, not only the Slender Palace, but the entire Imperial Court of the Patriotic Kingdom was shrouded in panic, as if something was pressing on his head. Everyone lowered their heads and was surprisingly silent, not even daring to make too much noise when walking. Even the whole Weidu, the whole city is full of panic, like a frightened bird, I don't know when the disaster will befall him, I heard that many of the rich families in the city have fled to the countryside with their families.
In a palace room, Wei Qing'er had a headache dealing with a pair of willow spring breeze embroidery in front of her. These days, her mother, Concubine Rou, is busy serving King Wei and doesn't pay much attention to her, and Su Mi is even more in the mood. As a result, Emperor Yiqing had no choice but to pick up these things that he usually refused to move to pass the time.
After embroidering for a while, Wei Qing'er got bored, threw the brocade in his hand aside, and said, "Don't dare to do anything, I'm really going to be suffocated to death, Ah Mi, do you think this time the Qi army will be beaten back like the previous times?" ”
Su Mi didn't seem to hear her words, and was still leaning against the window in a daze.
Wei Qing'er wanted to raise her voice and ask again, but after thinking about it, she swallowed the words in her stomach. Su Mi has been particularly sensitive these days, and the reason Wei Qing'er naturally knows it, because it is Su Mi's father Gu Qingting who is responsible for leading the troops to resist the enemy on the front line. So I didn't dare to disturb her too much.
"Mi, don't worry, the Qi army has come to attack us several times before, not all of them were General Gu who led people to repel them, and this time it will definitely be like this." After picking up the embroidery and fiddling with it for a while, Wei Qing'er still couldn't help but say.
"Uh, I know," Su Mi bowed her head and said, she had just heard the news from over there, saying that the strength of the Qi army this time was extremely strong, far better than before, and the leader was a famous general on the same level as her father. Even King Wei couldn't sleep every night, and Concubine Rou was now by his side all day long.
She had spent many days in terror, her mood rising and falling at any news from the front. How is my father at the border? Is it really the same as before this time? As soon as she thought of this question, Su Mi felt that an almost suffocating fear overwhelmed her, making her dare not think about it, but she couldn't help but think about it.
The answer was quickly revealed, and no one even expected that this day would come so quickly and so unexpectedly.
Early the next morning, the two of them, who were still asleep, were awakened by a noisy sound, followed by almost terrible screams and cries for help, one after another, and closer and closer.
"What's wrong?!" The two girls got up in horror and looked at each other.
Just when the two of them were at a loss, the door was opened with a "whirl", and Concubine Rou ran in disheveled, Su Mi never thought that this gentle and polite woman would have such an embarrassing day.
Concubine Rou hurriedly pulled up the two who were still ignorant, "Get dressed!" ...... quickly," she commanded the maid beside her, almost screaming hysterically. Several palace maids hurriedly surrounded them and dressed the two of them.
Seeing her mother, Wei Qing'er's panicked mood calmed down for a moment.
Su Mi had more and more a bad premonition, she grabbed Concubine Rou's clothes in horror, "Niangniang, what's wrong?" Where's my daddy? Empress...... I ......"
Concubine Rou, who had always been very kind to her, flickered unnaturally and avoided at this time, not daring to meet her expectant eyes.
Just when she didn't know how to answer, the palace gate was slammed open with a "ping-pong", and a team of people and horses broke in, all of them wearing heavy armor, each holding weapons in their hands, and some of them even had blood dripping down.
Who are they?! That kind of clothes and armor is definitely not their guards or sergeants to defend the country! Could it be......
"Ah!!!h A little palace maid who was guarding the door couldn't help but scream in shock, and one of the soldiers in front of him almost didn't think about it, and with a wave of the weapon in his hand, the cold blade slashed, blood beads splashed, and the screams stopped abruptly.
There was only a terrifying silence.
The Qi army has attacked!!
The Qi army has attacked!!
The Qi army has attacked!!
There was only this one sentence left in Su Mi's mind, what about his father? How's the house? What about my mother and my sister and sister? A great fear gripped her, barely breathing.
Concubine Rou took the hands of the two of them stiffly, looked at the intruder in front of her calmly and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
More than a dozen soldiers who came in were unaware of her words, but their eyes fell unscrupulously on the fair skin exposed by Concubine Rou because she did not tighten her clothes, with a naked look between her expressions, and then glanced at everyone in the palace, and when their eyes swept over Su Mi and Wei Qing'er, everyone's eyes suddenly burst into light, and immediately a few people walked forward while staring at them greedily.
"What are you going to do?! We are the emperors and concubines of His Majesty King Wei, since we have promised to surrender, didn't we say that we would keep our royal family safe? Concubine Rou forcibly held back the retreating Yu Wang, and shouted loudly, the voice was surprisingly poignant and sharp, but it startled the few soldiers who came up.
Several of the soldiers then became angry, and this questioning was clearly a provocation, a provocation to the conqueror.
"Royalty? The country has died, where did the royal family come from? Several soldiers replied with a hint of ridicule in their words, and said, pulling suddenly, Concubine Rou was pulled over fiercely, and then fell to the ground, several soldiers couldn't wait to pounce on it, and then the sound of tearing clothes sounded, Su Mi and Wei Qing'er wanted to rush over to save her, but they were pulled by several other people.
Wei Qing'er struggled and cried "humble", Su Mi was still in a trance, she only felt that all this was a nightmare in front of her, when she woke up, she would definitely find that she was still in a warm bed, and then she would hear Wei Qing'er's hazy voice, rubbing her eyes and asking her: "Ah Mi, are you having a nightmare again?" ”……
Suddenly, a terrible scream sounded, hoarse, it was Concubine Rou.
As if stimulated by such a voice, Su Mi woke up suddenly.
Suddenly, like crazy, she violently pushed away the Qi army who was pulling her, pushing the Qi army to a stumbling ground and almost falling. Immediately, a few more Qi soldiers stepped forward to grab her, Su Mi struggled desperately, she bit her teeth and grabbed her ...... with her hands, struggling and resisting in every way she could imagine, maybe only by relying on this could she vent the helpless fear and worry in her heart.
At first, a few Qi soldiers only laughed and laughed at this as a game like a kitten with its teeth and claws, but soon became impatient. Immediately, someone slapped Su Mi fiercely, Su Mi was thrown out by the force of this blow, and fell to the ground, only to feel dizzy for a while, and a salty feeling at the corner of his mouth, blood flowed out.
"Stop, stop." Just as several Qi troops were about to pounce on them, a shrill voice rang out, and then a thin and short man in eunuch uniform walked in from the door.
Those Qi soldiers seemed to be quite jealous of him, and for a while, even the sergeant who pounced on Concubine Rou stood up. Wei Qing'er immediately broke free from the restraints, ran to Concubine Rou, hugged her, and cried.
"Father-in-law, what's the matter with you?" The soldier who led the group asked the eunuch respectfully.
The old eunuch's sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, with his back bent, he ignored the soldiers next to him, stepped forward and walked to Su Mi's side, stretched out his hand like a ghost's claws, raised her chin, and saw Su Mi's appearance clearly, and his eyes immediately lit up.
"Good, good!" He was pleasantly surprised: "What a look." ”
"What's your name?" He asked again.
Su Mi didn't answer.
"Her name is Su Mi." Concubine Rou had just gotten up from the ground, and for fear that Su Mi would miss such an opportunity, she hurriedly replied on her behalf. She was already sensitively aware that the appearance of the old eunuch in front of her was a turning point. Moreover, no matter what happens next, it will definitely not be worse than being humiliated by this group of soldiers in front of you.
"What origin?" The eunuch asked again.
"It's the Emperor's attendant." Concubine Rou replied, seeing that the eunuch's face was a little bad, Concubine Rou hurriedly added: "I also came from a noble family and a scholarly family." ”
"Well, that's not bad." The eunuch nodded.
"Fortunately, our family came in time, hmph, otherwise you coarse embryos wouldn't have ruined such a stunning color, such a posture, such a background, is it something you can enjoy? Of course, this should be brought back to be dedicated to the nobles, and I don't want to think about what my identity is! The old eunuch reprimanded the soldiers.
A few soldiers secretly cursed, but they had to be submissive.
The eunuch in front of him is a steward of the Internal Affairs Office, and every time the Qi State goes out, he will be accompanied by a eunuch from the Internal Affairs Office, nominally for the convenience of affairs such as announcing decrees, but in fact, it is to count the spoils of war in time and hand them over to the treasury, so as to prevent the officers and soldiers from being excessively greedy and greedy to collect the treasures and beauties that have been captured.
Then the old eunuch pulled Wei Qing'er out of Concubine Rou's arms again, took out a handkerchief, and wiped her face,
"Okay, this is not bad, I can't imagine that there are many beauties in the little country." As he spoke, he looked at Concubine Rou. Concubine Rou was desperately tugging at the clothes in her hands, trying to hide her exposed skin. "That's not bad either."
"Father-in-law, this is a concubine, it is broken, why don't you reward us......" Seeing that several of the best ones were about to be taken away by the hateful eunuch in front of them, several soldiers were anxious for a while.
"Hmm...... All right. The eunuch hesitated for a moment and waved his hand. Originally, Concubine Rou's age greatly exceeded the standard of his selection.
Several soldiers were overjoyed when they heard this, and Concubine Rou's face instantly turned pale.
At this moment, the courtyard gate was opened again, and a herald soldier walked in, "Convey the general's order...... Ah, Grandpa Liu, are you here too? ”
"Well, what's the matter?"
"Back to my father-in-law, it's the main hall that counts the prisoners, that King Wei has been talking about Concubine Rou and begging the general to be with her, so the general ordered me to bring her over."
King Wei is the most fond of Concubine Rou, and at this time he is still thinking about protecting her.
"Okay, let's bring it with you." The eunuch nodded. Several of the soldiers were greatly frustrated, and secretly exclaimed bad luck, and immediately turned their eyes to the handmaidens around them.
Concubine Rou breathed a sigh of relief. Turning to look at Su Mi and Wei Qing'er, her expression changed. "Father-in-law, can you please let me say something to my daughter," Concubine Rou looked at the old eunuch expectantly, she knew that he was the only person in front of her who could have the right to decide, "In a word, I will never dare to delay my father-in-law's time, and I will definitely remember my father-in-law's great kindness in this life." ”
"Okay," the eunuch saw Concubine Rou's pleading pleading, so he agreed, thought for a moment, and said, "By the way, I will also pack up some jewelry and clothes for them, dress up, maybe there will be a good creation." ”
Hearing this, Concubine Rou thanked the eunuch busily, and at the same time took the hands of the two and entered the inner room.
She picked up a few beaded flowers that the two of them often wore on weekdays, opened the cabinet, took a few clothes, hesitated for a moment, and took out the package that Su Mi treasured on weekdays, which contained the things that Su Mi brought with her when she entered the palace. She quickly pulled these things into a piece of silk and wrapped them, and then handed them to the two of them, she leaned her head close to the two of them, but whispered to Su Mi: "Mi, we are sorry for your Gu family, don't tell anyone that your surname is Gu, remember, never tell anyone that your surname is Gu." She delicately wiped the blood from the corners of Su Mi's mouth, her eyes sad and desperate.
"Mother......" Wei Qing'er cried again.
"Don't cry, don't cry, Qing'er......" Concubine Rou hugged her tightly, "This time we are all going to Qijing, you two have to take good care of each other on the way, support each other, listen to others, don't be petty, don't lose your temper, don't talk back to others, when you get to Qijing, the mother concubine will pick you up......" As she spoke, she couldn't help crying and whimpered. "I told your father a long time ago that it is really better to be martyred, and it is just a death, and it is worthy of the ancestor Sheji. Why bother to live and suffer like this in order to steal the name of this slave of the country......
Before he finished speaking, the herald who couldn't wait came in to urge, and Concubine Rou didn't dare to say anything more, so she was dragged away.
Wei Qing'er rushed over and wanted to hold on to Concubine Rou's clothes, but Concubine Rou was ruthless and forcibly broke her daughter's hand, she knew that only this was the best protection for her in front of her. Su Mi was still standing there in a daze, her mind in a mess.
After that, the two of them were taken to a secluded palace by the father-in-law Liu, where there were already several emperors and beautiful palace maids, and then in the next few days, a continuous stream of beautiful girls were sent in.
There are noble relatives and ladies, and the same thing is that they are all fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls who have never been married, and they are all very beautiful.
Every time a new person comes in, they will also bring in new news, for example, which family's female relatives don't want to be humiliated, and committed suicide when the Qi army broke into her home, and which family's son once killed any powerful person of Qi on the battlefield, and now he was found to slaughter Manmen, and which family's Shangshu lord rose up to resist and couldn't succeed, and killed himself......
Almost every piece of news makes them shudder.
In the beginning, they had nothing to do but cry, and they only knew to wipe their tears every day, paying attention to the movements around them in horror. Later, almost resigned to their fate, every day they would only look at the locked gate in a daze, listening to all kinds of sounds coming from the courtyard in the distance, and from time to time there were screams that made them tremble.
Qi Jun treated them well, they were all supervised by special eunuchs, and the food was not bad every day, and even when they were sick, they would send doctors to come over for diagnosis and treatment.
Some of these girls are familiar with Su Mi, and some don't, but soon, the experience of sympathy made them close to each other.
Sometimes, they also make various discussions and predictions about the situation.
"Didn't you say that Kaesong surrendered? Why kill so many people? Isn't surrender not killing? A weak girl said timidly, it was Wei Qing'er's half-sister, Emperor Yiyu.
"Because the losses were too great during the siege, I heard that General Gu repelled the Qi army three times and wiped out more than 100,000 Qi troops. Think about it, in the past, in addition to beating Liang State, Qi State thought that he had suffered such a big loss, then Liang State was not inferior to Qi State, and Qi State was not as strong as it is now. A young girl with some insight said, while cautiously looking back at the door, she is the daughter of the bachelor's family, named Chen Man'er.
"I heard that even the son of the general who led the Qi army this time died on the battlefield and was killed by General Gu." A girl who came in later said.
"Ah, isn't that general who leads the army must have hated General Gu's family to the core." Emperor Yiyu covered her mouth and said softly.
"Yes, I heard that the Qi army surrounded General Gu's mansion as soon as it entered the city," the girl said again, "I don't know what happened......
"What else? Even our Wenchen family members who haven't done anything have ended up in such a situation, let alone General Gu's family? Chen Man'er sighed lightly: "Think about how ugly Qi Jun has been in his hands and how much loss he has suffered." Qi Jun has always regarded him as a thorn in his side. ”
Several girls fell silent, they all thought of the family members who did not know the life and death of the family, and soon, the Yiyu Emperor Ji cried again. Her mother didn't want to be humiliated on the day of the break, so she committed suicide by hanging herself.
None of these girls knew Su Mi's background, although every girl knew that General Gu's wife was an ordinary woman from the folk surnamed Su, but none of them would associate her with Su Mi.
Although Su Mi is the daughter of the Gu family, her surname follows her mother's surname. In other words, she took the surname of her uncle and aunt. Because his uncle and aunt have never had children, after Su Mi's mother married his father, the two families agreed to pass on the second child to the Su family, so their uncle and aunt became their father-in-law.
The days in the mountains are carefree, happy and comfortable, the father-in-law's medical skills are extremely clever, Su Mi's biggest hobby when he was young was to soak in his father-in-law's study to read, or to fiddle with various medicinal materials together under the teaching of his stepmother, his parents will often bring his sister and the sister who was born later to the mountains, the family often reunites, and his father will always say that when he doesn't have to lead the troops to fight, he must also bring his mother here to live in seclusion. When she was a child, Su Mi was always most proud of having two sets of parents.
Most of these girls only knew that Su Mi was the attendant of Emperor Yiqing, and even a few girls who were usually familiar with Su Mi in the Wei Palace only thought that Su Mi was the daughter of a clever country doctor who had treated Concubine Rou's stubborn illness.
A few girls sometimes discuss other topics like this,
But none of them dared to discuss their own fate next. From the time he saw the critical eyes of the eunuch, no matter how stupid he was, he could understand that he was a kind of spoil, and the most valuable kind. Their fate is self-evident, in this era of war, countless countries were established and destroyed, and countless women were hastily changed their fates between such ups and downs. It is no different from the women of countless countries who have died before--waiting to be rewarded to meritorious soldiers or to be sacrificed to the emperor and magnates, but they are just drifting with the wind. Maybe they will be a little lucky and meet a good person who is not too bad for them, but maybe tomorrow they will wither and die. Such is the fate of any group of powerless women in this era.
The days passed in anxiety day by day, until ten days later, the day came when they would leave Weidu forever, their hometown, their families (if there were still families).
The Qi army began to retreat north, and the rows of carts could not be seen, and on both sides were the soldiers guarding, and at the front of the convoy were the figures of King Wei and Queen Wei and Concubine Rou. The captives escorted included more than 1,000 people, including King Wei and his concubines, as well as princes, emperors, clansmen, and nobles. Along with them were all kinds of gold beads and utensils that Qi soldiers had collected from all over the place. As well as many kinds of books, classics and other materials accumulated by the patriotic royal family over the past hundred years, it can be said that they are full of returns.
Su Mi and these young girls were all gathered and arranged in several cars, and the precious and delicate trophies naturally would not let them walk.
In the same car with Wei Qing'er and Su Mi were Yiyu Emperor Ji and Chen Man'er, the four girls were quite familiar with each other, and it was a comfort on the road.
When the night was set up to rest, the laughter of the soldiers could be heard in the distance, and the cries of the women who had been used as camp prostitutes, and the soldiers had vented their vents in the tents of the guards who had become camp prostitutes. At this time, several girls will huddle together and tremble.
The guards in charge of these young and beautiful girls were a group of little eunuchs, headed by Gonggong Liu of the Internal Affairs Office. There were also soldiers guarding on both sides. Every time they got out of the car to wash or breathe, they would see the wolf-like greedy gaze of the soldiers around them fall on them unscrupulously. Intuitively aware of the danger, most girls try to stay in the car and dare not get out.
On the fifth day on the road, something still happened, and it was in Su Mi's car.
That night, Emperor Yiyu and Chen Man'er went out together to relieve their hands, the two frightened girls went out not long ago, waiting in the car Su Mi they heard a cry in the distance, as the sound approached, they heard the voice of Yiyu, the two hurriedly out of the car door, Yiyu Emperor Ji cried, while running back, when she ran closer, only to see that the clothes on her body were pulled open, revealing a large area of white and greasy skin. Several soldiers were still chasing after her, but when they saw Yiyu running into the convoy, the pursuers slowed down and looked at the convoy a little timidly, not daring to step forward but refusing to retreat, and kept wandering, obviously reluctant to take prey.
After a while, the eunuchs were noisy, and they couldn't help but be furious when they saw Yiyu's appearance. "Go, go, is it you sons who enjoy it?" The little eunuch scolded the soldiers who came up with him fiercely, like a pack of vicious dogs.
"Where's Man'er?" Wei Qing'er grabbed Yi Yu in horror and asked.
"Man'er...... Caught by the group......" Yi Yu cried out breathlessly, her face blue from fear and the violent running, her teeth still chattering.
"What? And one more! Gonggong Liu, who had just come out, also became angry when he heard this, and shouted at a few little eunuchs: "Don't hurry up and find it." ”
By the time I really got it back, it was too late,
They found Chen Man'er in the bushes, her clothes were torn, her hair was scattered, her eyes were glazed, and even the most dull people could see what was happening.
"Man'er!" Several girls cried, and the other girls who were awakened and ran over also had sour noses, and everyone cried around her, and soon several eunuchs stepped forward to disperse the crowd, and then led Chen Man'er, who was still numb, away.
For those soldiers, the guards who died in the country were originally the income of their hard work, so they should be allowed to do whatever they wanted! But Gonggong Liu was extremely angry, and ordered the soldiers who caused the incident to be beaten severely, and then dealt with by military law, because they dared to touch the things that the nobles had decided. The guards and guards of Su Mi and them have also become more cautious, and the number of people will be counted by the little eunuch from time to time every day.
But Chen Man'er never came back, because it was impossible for the girl who had broken to be offered again, and of course she was not qualified to stay in this car anymore. That night, she was sent to the barracks to work as a prostitute.
A few days later, one morning, while the girls in the carriage were washing, they saw several bodies dragged out of the tent from afar, and every night there would be such a woman who could not bear the torture and died, and would be dragged out of the camp of the prostitute the next day.
The girl in the first place, her eyes were still open, full of fear, pain and despair, and her originally beautiful face was swollen, but she could still vaguely identify that it was Chen Man'er. Her body was still naked, covered with bruises and scars, and her lower body was even more miserable, and blood was flowing down her originally fair and slender thighs, which were now invisible.
The girls screamed, they threw their things down, ran back to the car, and shivered.
"Ah~~~~" Wei Qing'er couldn't help shouting, burying her head in Su Mi's arms, she couldn't bear it anymore.
Su Mi seemed to be nailed by something, staring blankly at those dazzling white corpses, wanting to turn her head but couldn't, there was a trance in front of her, Chen Man'er's swollen and deformed face seemed to have turned into the faces of her sister and sister, constantly circling in her mind...... Finally, she bent over and couldn't help but throw up......
Until she couldn't spit out anything anymore, she still couldn't stop, and her eyes were still staring at Chen Man'er's corpse......
The next day, Su Mi's face turned sallow, and when she returned to the car, she kept her eyes open, not eating or sleeping, it seemed that within a day, a flower withered, but her spirit was surprisingly good. Wei Qing'er looked at Su Mi with a little horror, she intuitively felt that something had changed in her friend.
Perhaps it was the luxury that he had held in his heart for a long time that was completely brutally shattered, and Su Mi felt that something in his heart was tumbling, burning, shattering, and flowing out a strong disgusting smell of blood. The seeds of something quietly began to take root, sprout, and gradually grow, and the consciousness of accepting reality made her spirit completely calm and even indifferent. So, when a few days later, when she really saw a familiar corpse being dragged out of the tent, she didn't even feel a trace of despair or grief, she just watched intently, she was amazed at herself, and she even felt that if she let herself laugh at this moment, she could laugh very softly.
The little eunuch on the side, Xiao Zhuzi, looked at Su Mi a little curiously. The girl would come out at this time of day to scrub herself, and would stand here looking at the corpses with a strange look. After all, since they knew that the camp prostitutes cleaned up the corpses at this time, especially after Chen Man'er's incident, none of the girls in the car dared to come out to wash at this time, and they all deliberately avoided this time.
He followed Su Mi's eyes and looked over.
"That girl, tsk, it's a pity, it must be a first-class beauty in a few years, I heard that there is a sister, who was ...... by this group of cheap rough embryos on the day the city was broken" Xiao Zhuzi shook his head and sighed, "What a sin...... I'm not afraid of God to blame. ”
"That's because she was unlucky not to let our master see it," said another little eunuch named Quanfu next to her, "Hey...... If I had let the master see it earlier, I would have seen that it would be the life of the mother, and it would have fallen into the hands of this group of people. ”
"Come on," a small eunuch patrolling a few steps away heard the discussion between the two, stopped and leaned over and smiled, "This, you can't say it, you know?" While pointing to the corpse with his chin, he looked mysterious: "You know, her surname is Gu, she is the daughter of Gu Qingting, General Ni hates the Gu family to the core." ”
"Really?" Quan Fu came to the spirit: "I heard that General Ni's son was killed by the general who Gu What, is it true?" ”
"That's it." The well-informed little eunuch said: "Hehe, so I said, even if our master goes, it will be in vain, can we still say goodbye to General Ni?" I heard that General Ni is such a son. ”
"That's right, I heard that Concubine Ni is being favored now, and our father-in-law has to bend down first when he sees General Ni." Xiao Zhuzi sighed.
"Speaking of the palace, when can we go back to the palace? Although this business trip is full of oil and water, it is too tiring, and it is really ......," Quan Fu sighed.
"Come on, at this speed, I think this journey will take more than ten days."
A few little eunuchs chatted one after another.
Su Mi next to him suddenly interjected and asked, "A few fathers-in-law, is the general you just talked about the general Ni Yuan Ni who led the army this time?" ”
"Yes," a few little eunuchs looked at Su Mi. Su Mi has a delicate face and a respectful tone, not like those girls who cry all day long, which is plain and gives people a headache. So the little eunuchs didn't feel bad about her.
"I heard that General Ni is the ...... of Liang Guo"
"Hey, hey, I can't say much about that!" The little eunuch immediately interrupted Su Mi's words and looked around secretly, "General Ni used to be a courtier of the Liang State, but that was more than 20 years ago, and now he is the pillar of the Great Qi, but he is trusted by the emperor." ”
"Father-in-law Xie reminded me, I lost my words. I don't know who Ni Guifei is talking about? ”
"Oh, that's the daughter of General Ni, and she is also a young lady, and she is being favored in the palace right now, but she is second only to the queen of the imperial concubine."
"I see, you say that the son of General Ni ......"
"Oh, you're talking about Major General Ni Tingwei, alas, if it weren't for the loss of this son, General Ni would be furious, maybe you wouldn't have to die so many people to defend the country."
"Didn't I hear that General Ni also has a son," Xiao Zhuzi interjected and asked.
"There is another one, but it's a pity that it's a concubine, and it's just such a one, it must be very precious, but now it's already destined for Huangquan." The little eunuch smacked his lips and sighed, but there was a hint of schadenfreude in his voice.
"Hehe, according to me, this General Gu has done a good thing, and that bastard is still dead." Quan Fu couldn't help but spit out. "I heard that this Ni Tingwei is a little bully who is rampant in the capital and robs men and women, and Lao Chen was whipped several times by him with us a few days ago, but because he blocked him, he didn't treat us as human beings."
"Shhh, be quiet, you don't want to die, dare to say that," the little eunuch at the head hurriedly said, while looking around, of course he thought so in his heart, but after thinking about it, this kind of thing can't be said.
At this time, several corpses had already dragged away, and Su Mi watched his last relatives go away, and something unclear was flashing in his eyes.
Back in the car, Wei Qing'er looked at Su Mi's eyes, "What's the matter, Mi, is there something wrong?" ”
"It's nothing, I'm fine," Su Mi said in a gentle voice, but her voice was indescribably cold.
Wei Qing'er couldn't help but shudder when she heard this, she just looked at her in a daze, not daring to say anything, these days she felt more and more that she didn't know what Su Mi was thinking, and she suddenly felt that the friends she grew up with had changed in corners she didn't know.
A few days later, Concubine Rou also went, she had been sick all the time, and she suffered such a blow, and without any careful and thoughtful treatment, she finally couldn't survive. Hearing the news, Wei Qing'er was stunned for a while as if her soul had been drained, and soon fell ill, sometimes good and sometimes bad, and she had no strength every day. When I called the doctor, I couldn't see anything. Su Mi knew that it was the torture of these days that made her life burn out, and it was a natural depletion of vitality, not any disease.
When they arrived in Qijing, they were arranged into a manor, and soon they were ordered to freshen up and change their clothes, waiting for the selection of a few stewards and eunuchs.
Among them, several of the most outstanding emperors and ladies, including Su Mi, were offered to the court. Most of the others were given to meritorious soldiers.
In this way, Su Mi began her court life.
