Chapter 8: Masquerade
On this day, Chen Niang took the initiative to take over all the work, and also asked for warmth to the mountain snow, Chen Niang wanted to get close to the mountain snow, but was separated by Xiao Yu without a trace, the subtle changes of the two people, so that she was smart in her eyes, she was quite surprised but could not see the clues.
When the mountain snow was serving the food, Chen Niang took advantage of her unpreparedness to stretch her feet, she almost fell, Xiao Yu on the side wanted to rush over, but was quickly supported by Chen Niang, she just wanted to say thank you, Chen Niang had taken the dish in her hand and went out to serve the minions.
Shan Xue was a little moved in her heart, but she didn't show it, although Chen Niang was not good or bad to her, the two of them have been dependent on each other for a few years, so that she has less fear of loneliness, and she smiled at this point, but the next moment, she suddenly felt a pain in her waist, she thought about it carefully, it was because Chen Niang helped her too hard, she checked it again, and she was relieved if she didn't see anything abnormal.
It's just that in the next few days, she felt that her waist was sore, and she didn't play with Xiao Yu anymore, Xiao Yu saw the clue, and just wanted to ask, Chen Niang's eyes flashed an imperceptible pride, and she pulled him aside and whispered to him, saying that it was because of the woman's menstrual affairs, he was stunned when he heard it, and his face was embarrassed and embarrassed, so he stopped asking.
Chen Niang boiled her a bowl of ginger candy, Shan Xue drank it without hesitation, Chen Niang's deep black eyes condensed, but the next moment she resumed her gentle smile, "Are you better?" ”
Shan Xue nodded without thinking much, the next day, sure enough, she was indeed much better, after lunch, she suddenly felt that her heart was burning and tolerated, in front of Xiao Yu she hid without a trace, while Xiao Yu took a lunch break, she finally couldn't help it, a mouthful of reverse blood spurted out, and when she turned around, she saw Chen Niang, Chen Niang hurriedly said softly with a panicked look on her face, "Girl, how long have you been in this situation?" ”
She thought about it for a while, and said indifferently, "It's been a few days, and my ears were bleeding the day before yesterday, so I think I have some strange disease." ”
Chen Niang's eyes sank, took her hand and gently checked her pulse, Shan Xue looked at her quite unexpectedly, Chen Niang will check the pulse? How did she not know before?
Seeing that Chen Niang's expression changed a few times, her expression was gloomy, like a dark sky, pouring out a boring breath, she sighed, that breath was like light smoke suspended in the air, wrapped lukewarm, stared at her for a long time before slowly speaking, "Shan Xue, you are seriously ill, are you afraid that it is...... Time is running out......"
Hearing this, she was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but smile in her heart, what does it mean that time is short? Why didn't she feel any pain? Immediately, she took Chen Niang's hand and asked eagerly, "What do you mean that time is short?" Why didn't I feel it, Chenniang, I never knew you would diagnose the pulse, are you mistaken? ”
"Chen Niang can't be mistaken, are you the oldest with bleeding ears, and your waist is still sore, I see a red rash on your ear, isn't it very itchy, if I guess correctly, do you also have a red rash on your wrist?"
Shan Xue hurriedly rolled up her sleeves and looked at it, and sure enough, she saw a red rash, and her ears were indeed itchy, she was stunned, like a stunned distraction.
Seeing her like this, Chen Niang knew that she believed it, and then said, "You are a disease from the mother's womb, called red mustard, and the red spots will become more and more until they festered and died, but unfortunately this disease occurred suddenly, and they generally don't live to be ten years old." ”
Shan Xue looked at her suspiciously, and asked eagerly, "Chen Niang, how did you know how to see a doctor?" ”
Chen Niang said softly, "My father is a doctor, my father was beheaded all over the house because he misdiagnosed the concubine Niangniang, and I was the only one who escaped...... I don't want to, I'll meet you here, it's fate. ”
The mountain snowman took a few steps back, her head exploded, she couldn't stop shaking her head, her tears collapsed again, she thought she would calmly accept the withering of this body, but she was cowardly, she had a long and long road of soul piercing, tried everything, paid, been abandoned, hypocritical, lonely, and tortured herself, in the end there was still nothing, the past was sad and sad and lonely and lonely to get the most, happy and carefree but in this body to get the most, she was reluctant to leave, looking at the petals falling from the tree, This withering is just the same as her desolation.
Chen Niang's eyebrows raised slightly, the bottom of her eyes was not easy to detect the smug color, as early as a few days ago she pinched that handful around her waist and laid the foreshadowing, and then the bowl of ginger syrup she put some allergic wild vegetable roots, as long as you don't taboo this red spot will not disappear for a long time, so that the next plan will go smoothly, and when the thirteenth master arrives, it will get twice the result with half the effort.
Since I learned from Chen Niang that I had little time, Shanxue's face was a little unusual when she came back, but the things she did were all ordinary things, cleaning, laundry, cooking, and occasionally not forgetting to tear up with Xiao Yu, but Xiao Yu felt that she was wrong, but she couldn't think of any clues, seeing that she was still happy, she felt that she was thinking too much, so she no longer doubted.
It was night, Chen Niang quietly walked to the two of them, saw the two of them leaning against the corner of the wall to sleep, Xiao Yu fell asleep and did not forget to hold the hand of the mountain snow tightly, one was clear and moving, one always had a smile on his face, a trace of happiness was written full of innocent secrets, she was a little moved in her heart, but this faint pity was instantly suppressed by indifference, she gently on Xiao Yu's body a little, Xiao Yu's body moved a little and then softened, the mountain snow on the side felt the movement, and suddenly opened her eyes and met Fang Niang's deep and unknown eyes, she made a look at the mountain snow and got up, and followed her to the other corner.
Shan Xue glanced at Xiao Xuanyu worriedly, and just as she wanted to ask, Fang Niang took over and said, "Don't worry, I can't wake up for the time being!" ”
Xiaoshan Xue knew that this Chen Niang was not simple, so she asked straight to the point, "What's the matter?" ”
Chen Niang saw that she was also refreshed, so she no longer had any worries, and said calmly, "Xiao Yu is the third son of the current emperor, His Royal Highness King Xuan!" ”
I see, I see, so it is!
Shan Xue's face was awe-inspiring, and there was no smile at all, "I know!" So what? ”
"This morning, I received a decree from the palace at the place where I received the village entrance, and the emperor will send someone to pick up His Royal Highness."
"He's gone, what does it have to do with me?"
Chen Niang stared at the outside thoughtfully, her eyes turned and fell on her, and she said with a worried face, "Those people outside don't know which master they are with, so it is difficult for us to go out, and we will only lose if we fight hard, but I have thought of a way." ”
Shan Xue looked at her expression, already aware of it, and Chen Niang's eyes flickered a little weakly because of her staring at herself like this, but her expression was very stable, just blinked, and the tears in her eyes flowed numbly, like a spring that never dried up, but there was no guilt from the heart, she wiped her tears and regained her composure, "You are running out of time, and you will do the last thing if you don't take precautions?" It's for him! ”
Shan Xue's smile gradually faded a little, but it was like the quiet dust in this room, and it also had a bit of a cold breath, "I'm not as childlike as you think, helping you depends on your mood, not helping is also looking at your creation, I don't owe you, he has nothing to do with me!" ”
Chen Niang's eyes were fixed on her, and she smiled coldly, "Why has it nothing to do with you?" Your Highness, how could he leave you to live, he is going to die with you, you don't know His Highness's heart for you? ”
She hung her head silently, perhaps because Fang Cai's words touched her nerves, or maybe she felt that her time was short, and she kept looking out the window and lost her mind.
Halfway through the night, she looked at Xiao Yu who was asleep, and fell into a long contemplation, what kind of dazzling life will be in the future, she imagined, he will be rich and noble for a lifetime, with a group of wives and concubines, and his children and grandchildren will be around his knees under the ancient trees in the white courtyard with two sideburns, watching the morning sun spray thin, and appreciating the remnants of the sun like blood, but these have nothing to do with her, and she doesn't want to participate, she has only met one person in these lives, that is her shadow, lonely all the way, her road is far away, except for the distance, there is nothing.
She stared at Fang Niang for a long time and was silent, but Chen Niang understood the meaning in her eyes and knew that she agreed.
Chen Niang's expression was a little excited, and suddenly she saw the mountain snow that had never been bright before, she made a long salute, and bowed deeply and religiously, "Girl, it's not in vain that we got acquainted, there is a box of jewelry buried under the jujube tree in the backyard, enough for you to give them dots, and then they will know that you don't have much time, and you will ...... Leave you all dead...... In the future, Chen Niang will definitely burn more paper money for you every year, what else do you ......?"
Listening to Chen Niang's heartfelt words, she didn't feel a smile in her heart, "Enough, leave the paper money to yourself!" ”
Shan Xue choked her back with a short sentence.
Chen Niang smiled, her face did not show too much anger, it didn't matter, anyway, her goal was achieved.
