Chapter 3 [Turning the Clouds and Rain]
Chapter 3 [Turning the Clouds and Rain]
With He Guifei's order, the guards dragged Ru Mo and Tangerine outside the hall, and their hands and feet were tied to the bench under them, unable to move.
At this time, the queen was in the palace, leisurely peeling prawns, and did not come out to stop it, and greeted the concubines beside her with a smile; "Sisters, eat quickly, don't let those two little girls ruin this feast."
He Guifei turned her head and looked at the queen, "Sister, why does my sister feel a little bit at ease?"
"Sister, why don't you say that it's more straightforward to kill people with a knife? It's a pity that this palace is not so vicious, just like the little girl in Tangerine said, this palace has always been kind, but it is your sister who gave the order and asked the guards to raise sticks, this is the real leisure and leisure, borrowing a knife to kill people, right?" The lovely queen returned the words, and when she glanced at it, she heard the sound of sticks falling from outside the hall......
A stick fell, and suddenly Tangerine and Ru Mo's clothes were opened, and the skin as white as snow was instantly exposed, Ru Mo gritted her teeth and endured the severe pain and shouted to Tangerine; "Orange, hold on, hold on, hold on to ......"
One, two, three, the sound of the wooden stick hitting the back like a pleated brocade cloth was muffled. Tangerine couldn't stand it and cried miserably, "The slave can't stand it, the mother spares her life, spares her life, spares her life, spares her life......."
Suddenly, Ru Mo heard the sound of broken bones, she thought that her bones must have been broken, the pain of tearing her heart and lungs was numb, and a strong smell of blood rushed into her nose. Are they tired and don't fight?
Only one of the guards replied; "Guifei Niangniang, this little girl has been killed, and the slave accidentally fell on her head."
"Tangerine...... Tangerine ...... Tangerine ...... You killed the orange......" Ru Mo cried in disbelief, a little palace maid who was only twelve years old was beaten to death in an instant, and the orange who was smiling brightly just now was killed with a few sticks, this huge deep palace was even more sinister than the outside.
He Guifei walked out slowly, her eyes focused on Ru Mo's beaten back, and snorted coldly; "Okay, I'm tired too, let's stop here, put the one who is still alive into the prison, and let her reflect on it." With a flash of light, he glared at the queen, "My sister has ever been satisfied with such a punishment?"
The queen's bright smile revealed a bit of evil, and said; "Why does my sister ask like this, between you and my sisters, why do you need to see each other like this, Ru Mo is just a little girl."
"Is she a little girl, my sister knows better than anyone else, otherwise why would she work so hard? This girl is very smart, my sister must have asked my sister to ask her to go, and then my sister will be willing to let her go?" He Guifei flicked her skirt, went down the steps, and smiled deeply at the queen as if she were walking.
The battle in the harem has never stopped, and what Ru Mo caught up with today can be called the most trivial section, in fact, it is also to blame that she does not know how to protect herself, and has become a real target!
When Ru Mo, who was beaten unconscious, woke up in pain, she found that it was dark all around, she couldn't twist her body, as long as she moved, the wound would be heartbreaking, and suddenly she heard the sound of mice gnawing on wood "squeak", so frightened that she lay on the ground of the cell and whimpered and cried.......
"Leng Rumo, I didn't expect you to be afraid of mice?" A shrill voice sounded in her ears, worse than the sound of a mouse, she bit her lip, raised her head slightly, her eyes were on fire, "Father-in-law Gao, you still have the face to see me, you killed my brother, I want to seek revenge on you, I want to break your body into ten thousand pieces......."
"Little girl, your tone is not small, you are now unable to protect yourself, how can you find revenge from the miscellaneous family? You seem to be smart, but you're stupid?" Gao Gonggong covered his mouth with his hand, squinted his eyes, and looked at Ru Mo in prison in the cell with open skin and flesh in prison clothes.
"I won't let you go as a ghost, you hurt our family, let our relatives separate, as long as I Leng Rumo has a breath, I will take revenge, I want to take the body of your father-in-law Gao to commemorate my dead brother." Ru Mo was full of hatred and excited.
"Little girl, the miscellaneous family appreciates your courage, but, after all, you are still too tender, fighting with the miscellaneous family, you are still far away, in fact, you shouldn't hate the miscellaneous family, even if the Gao family is dead, there will be ten, or even a hundred Gao Gonggong, the miscellaneous family is only doing things for the master, and there are many minions in the palace who can do things, so as long as the master behind you does not let go of your Leng family, how can you talk to the miscellaneous family about revenge?" Gonggong Gao held on to the iron bar of the cell, analyzed it slowly and methodically, and sneered, "Little girl, your beating is not inexplicable, the palace has its own rules in the palace, you are sharp, you set yourself on fire, and you are in a hurry to get this stick, all of which you brought on yourself, and the miscellaneous family said that the concubine Niangniang beat it lightly, and she should have killed you." ”
"Tangerine was beaten to death, my father died in prison back then, and my brother also died, is there no royal law in this palace?" Ru Mo sobbed and roared indignantly.
"Girl, the right is the king's law, there has never been a shortage of unjust ghosts in this deep palace, whether you live or not depends only on your life, your life is hard, you will climb up, your life is short, you should hurry up now, so as not to be offended, and also waste less food in this palace." After Gao Gonggong finished speaking, he was just about to leave, but he came to the door of the prison again and whispered; "Stupid girl, do you know how to kill people with a knife?"
Ru Mo suddenly woke up, but her mouth was still stiff, "I don't even know what it means to kill people with a knife, what do you do?"
"I don't know what to do, little girl, I think it's time for you to reflect on yourself." After listening to Ru Mo's words, Father-in-law Gao smiled incredulously, and walked out of the cell without looking back, "I didn't expect Leng Qiulin and Jia Tangyue to give birth to such a stubborn daughter?" It's a rarity!"
On this dark and cold night under the starry sky, Ru Mo's painful moans were heard from time to time in the cell, the wound on her back had festered and oozed blood, and her forehead was as hot as a stove, and she had a high fever.
"Father, mother, brother Hui, don't go, don't leave Ru Mo, I'm afraid......" This is the third day that Father-in-law Gao took Ru Mo out of the cell, she is still unconscious, her mouth has been talking nonsense, and only half of her life is left at this time.
The imperial doctor cleaned Ru Mo's wound and applied ointment, but the wound on her back still did not look like it was going to heal, but became more and more inflamed, red, swollen and ulcerating.
"Manager Gao, you can't feed the medicine at all, how can Weichen treat it?" The imperial doctor sighed helplessly, this little girl who didn't open her mouth at all, he couldn't be cured.
Gonggong Gao pondered for a moment, called a little eunuch, and ordered in a low voice, "You go and get a few big bowls of ginseng soup." ”
When the imperial doctor heard this, he was startled and stopped, and said; "Manager Gao, can't this ginseng soup be served to this girl, this girl's physique is weak, if she drinks ginseng soup to hang her anger, I'm afraid she will die faster?"
"She's not going to die." Gonggong Gao glanced at the imperial doctor and affirmed with great confidence.
When the ginseng soup came, the imperial doctor broke Ru Mo's teeth, and a large bowl of ginseng soup spilled half into half and poured it into her. Half an hour later, Ru Mo coughed a few times and slowly opened her eyes.
"Girl, the miscellaneous family knows that you still have something on your mind, and you are reluctant to die." Gao Gonggong looked at Ru Mo who came back to life with crooked eyebrows, and sighed lightly.
Ru Mo pursed her lips, looked around, and frowned; "I'm already out?"
Father-in-law Gao was stunned for a moment, "Why do you mean this, but you want to live in prison forever?" If that's the case, the miscellaneous family will send you back now. ”
"Oh, I can't live anymore, I've lived enough, thank you, father-in-law." Ru Mo is anti-guest-oriented, as if the prison was opened by her family, she will live if she says she will live, and if she can't live, she won't live, but the "thank you" that came out of her mouth really can't hear a trace of sincerity, who made her born with this unobtrusive temper!
Ru Mo is young in the end, the foundation is good, within a few days her wound scabbed, has begun to heal, after the fever subsided, she couldn't stay in bed, a few days of tossing, so that she was obviously thinner than before, but out of a more beautiful Peugeot.
"Father-in-law Gao, Ru Mo has been reflecting on herself these days, knowing that she was too stupid before, and she will definitely learn to act cautiously in the future, and I hope that my father-in-law will give me more advice." Ru Mo knelt on the ground, her eyes turned, revealing her cleverness, and she bowed to Gonggong Gao.
"Girl, do you know what it means to hide from the world? No matter how much talent you have, you should learn when to show it and when not to show it?" Gao Gonggong sniffed the snuffbox, closed his eyes, and taught slightly.
"Ru Mo remembers her father-in-law's teachings, Ru Mo doesn't want to take revenge at this time......" Ru Mo looked at Father-in-law Gao with a pair of pitiful eyes for a moment, and hesitated.
Gao Gonggong opened his eyes, like eyes that could perceive everything, staring at Ru Mo and saying suspiciously; "Girl, you don't want revenge, so what do you want?"
Ru Mo's face became colder, and with a little seriousness, she smiled obscenely; "I want someone with supreme power in my hands."
"Yes, girl, the miscellaneous family is really right, you are too similar to your mother, she did a vigorous thing in this harem back then, it can be described as a cloud and rain......" Gao Gonggong stopped halfway through his words, and his expression was uncertain.
"What did my mother do back then?" Ru Mo asked tentatively.
Gonggong Gao smiled slackly and changed the topic in an instant, "Girl, the queen, you can't go back for the time being, the miscellaneous family will send you to Mu Guifei, she is gentle and virtuous, she is a good-tempered person, you won't suffer if you go there." ”
"Why are you so good to me, you are the murderer of my brother, I will seek revenge on you at any time, aren't you afraid?" Ru Mo studied Gonggong Gao and doubted.
Gonggong Gao snapped his fingers and smiled, taking a breath, "The miscellaneous family knows too many things in this palace, even if you don't want the life of the miscellaneous family, the miscellaneous family will not live long." Girl, this harem is like a pool of muddy water, if you come in, you will never be able to clear it. ”
"My father is a clean man, isn't he still charged, if it's really a muddy water, I'll also take a trip." Ru Mo said firmly with tears, just with her little girl, can she really turn the clouds and rain?
The wind and the sun are beautiful, the peach blossoms in the imperial garden are blooming, when Ru Mo passed through the imperial garden, she couldn't help but use her hand to pick up the petals that were blown by the wind like a saucer, suddenly a petal fell into the neck, itchy and cold, just about to go to the hand to reach, only to feel a sudden burst of coolness, the movement was light and soft, help her take out the petals in the neck, she turned around in a daze, instantly froze, and looked at the almost beautiful man in front of her with a beat of heartbeat.......
The sky is full of rain and flowers, the peach willows are gorgeous, everything is like a layer of red gold, the corners of his robe are flying, the jade belt is bright, she looks at him stupidly, as if there is a sense of déjà vu, he has a noble and extraordinary temperament, exquisite facial features, long figure, handsome face, starry eyes, graceful and noble.
"The grass is green and the willows are yellow, the peach blossoms are chaotic and the plum flowers are fragrant ......" a poem couldn't help but chant from Ru Mo's mouth, and there was a clear and innocent smile on her beautiful porcelain jade cheeks.
"Girl, are you reading 'Spring Thoughts'?" The man in front of him was surprised for a moment, and smiled lightly and gently.
"Hmm!" Ru Mo nodded lightly, her heartstrings flustered, "His eyes are so familiar, could it be that night's ......" She was thinking and wanted to turn around, but she saw a person walking calmly and slowly not far away, gradually getting closer, closer, she stared at her shocked eyes, looked straight ahead, and exclaimed, "Sister." ”
The person who came was Leng Xinmo, the eldest daughter of the Leng family. I saw that she was dressed as a palace concubine, dressed in an orange embroidered gauze dress, with a golden jade hairpin on her head, which can really be said to be a hibiscus and not as good as a beauty.
Ru Mo was so excited that she took two steps forward, took her sister's hand, and was suspicious, "Sister, why did you come to the palace?"
Leng Xinmo was just about to answer her sister's words, but when she caught a glimpse of the person next to her, she instantly fainted a red tide, brushed her peach cheeks and smiled at the whirlpool, and lowered her body with a blessing, "Lord Wang." ”
Ru Mo followed her sister's line of sight, her tone was sluggish, she tossed between her lips and teeth, and frowned; "Are you the prince?"
Looking at the little girl in front of her, who didn't know the height of the sky, she smiled a little bit of the coolness of the breeze and the moon under the bright sun, and her tone was solemn but unquestionable, "This king's surname is Xiao Mingyan." Does the girl have any doubts?" Turning to the side, he asked rhetorically; "Are you sisters?"
"Yes, we are sisters, this is my sister Leng Rumo." Leng Xinmo replied and looked at Ru Mo, "Sister, why did you enter the palace too?"
"Hee-hee, just with me that day...... Oh....... Not quite like ...... Hehe......" Ru Mo stared at Xiao Yan stupidly, forgetting to answer her sister, her words became incoherent, and she was suspicious in her heart; "The prince in front of him is really not very similar to the masked man in black that night, speaking of a prince, why would he be masked in the middle of the night, maybe it's not the same person, right?"
Leng Xinmo looked at her sister with a strange expression and said with a smile; "Mo'er, what's wrong with you, what did my sister ask you about?"
When Xiao Yan heard the word "Mo'er", his expression changed slightly, and he groaned in astonishment; "Mo'er ......"
"Oh, Mo'er is what our own sisters are used to, and please don't be embarrassed." Leng Xinmo hurriedly answered in a hurry, pulled her sister closer, and leaned over towards Xiao Yanyi, "Lord Wang, Xinmo and my sister just met, and there are still a lot of things to say, so I'm out of company first." He turned around and left with Ru Mo.
"Lord Wang...... Xiao Yan ....." Ru Mo was dragged away by her sister, turned her head naughtily, made a grimace at Xiao Yan, and smiled sweetly, since she was a child, she had never seen such a beautiful person, she wanted to use "beautiful" to describe him, but the other layer meant that beautiful men are demons, and this game is getting more and more fun.
Xiao Yan stared at this lively back, holding a sachet embroidered with the word "jasmine", silent for a moment, and secretly suspicious; "These sisters, who is the real owner of this sachet? If Leng Xinmo's sister is the owner of this sachet, why did Leng Xinmo admit to the king that day that she was the owner of this sachet? The seemingly innocent sister will be the man in black with excellent light skills?"
The sky outside the red lacquered window bar was purple, and the afterglow of the setting sun was projected through the half-hidden doorway, sprinkling the fragrance of the ground brightly.
Leng Xinmo asked the palace maids to retreat, stepped forward, and hesitated; "How did my sister get into the palace?"
"It was the princess Gao who was next to the queen who sent someone to carry it in. Where's my sister?" Ru Mo's eyes turned red with excitement, and she pulled her sister and asked.
"That day, I went out to buy vegetables, and I was knocked unconscious by a beater and brought into the palace, and afterwards, I learned that it was the queen mother who got me, who gave us the surname 'Leng'." Leng Xinmo sighed lightly and narrated.
"What did the queen mother say to her sister?" Ru Mo's face was anxious, and her eyes were full of worry.
Leng Xinmo was silent for a long time and said bluntly; "Sister, do you know that our mother used to be a palace maid?"
"I know, my mother told me." Ru Mo replied.
"So, when my mother was in the palace, she used a kind of incense and once fascinated the first emperor, does my sister know what kind of incense it is?" Leng Xinmo tested her sister.
"What did my sister say about the kind of incense my mother gave me? But my mother said that it was just ordinary incense. Ru Mo took off a small purse from her body and showed it to her sister to ask.
Leng Xinmo took the purse, shook her head and smiled, "If the queen wants this kind of incense, she won't be so laborious." ”
