269 Dilemma (1)
The curtains bring the fragrance of gardenias outside the window, and the dormitory is even quieter, as if the owner is sleeping sweetly, but if you see the bright red spread on the green gauze tent, you can imagine what kind of thrilling it has been before.
Yuwen Xuanyi knelt beside the bed, his robe spreading a cloud of ice on the ground.
The long hair tied together haphazardly was slightly messy, and a few strands of hair were scattered around the low-hanging face, making it difficult to see the expression.
"Lord Wang......" Xiqing's voice choked: "Miss Jinling is here......"
The solemn figure remained motionless, as if it had not heard, but after a while, a hoarse voice came out: "Mother wants to see you......"
Without looking at her, he got up and left, leaving only floating strands of hair across her cheeks.
Concubine Yu's face slowly revealed as he left, transparent and weak, but still smiling.
"Mother's ......"
This scene was suddenly connected with the scene a few days ago, and Su Jinling suddenly burst into tears.
"Crying for what? Come here, I have something to say, it's too late to be ......"
"Mother, it won't ......"
Concubine Yu smiled: "There will always be this day, I finally look forward to it, it's just ......"
She slowly stretched out her hand, but it slipped because of weakness, but was held in her hand by Su Jinling: "What do you have to say?" But whoever can use slaves and maids, the mother will say that it is okay......"
Concubine Yu smiled faintly, her wish was nothing more than ...... However, I am afraid that I will not be able to see it in this life.
She sighed, "If you can listen carefully to what I have to say, it will be on my mind......
Su Jinling nodded desperately, unable to speak.
Concubine Yu looked at her son's gloomy back outside the window, and said quietly: "I'm from the Yun family......"
Su Jinling was startled, and raised her eyes to meet her with a faint smile: "It's the same as your mother." You're half of the Cloud descendant, so you're so close to me before you know it. ”
She sighed, "I don't know if your mother has ever said something to you. It is said that the reason why the Yundants are called the Yundants is because the people there are all clouds in the sky, and when they die, they will change into clouds. But there is an ancient spell, if the people of the clouds die with secrets or grievances, their souls will have no place to return, and they will soon be gone. ”
She smiled: "I don't want to disappear so soon, I haven't seen Yi'er marry a wife and have children......"
Su Jinling hurriedly shook her head: "Niangniang, don't say it, Niangniang will definitely see the prince get married, and Niangniang will definitely live a long life!" ”
"Even you're starting to lie to me......" Concubine Yu weakly squeezed her hand, and a sentence lay in her throat, but it only turned into a sigh: "Do you know why I want to enter the palace?" ”
Su Jinling heard that Concubine Yu was presented to the palace as a tribute by the foreign domain in a draft twenty-four years ago.
Concubine Yu knew what she was thinking, and shook her head gently: "My name is not Chu Yu, my real name is Chu Yu, and I entered the palace to ...... Assassinate the Emperor! ”
Su Jinling was startled, and hurriedly looked around, but when she saw that the curtain was empty, and the fragrance was lonely, even Xiqing ran out crying after bringing her here.
"Remember last year's Lantern Festival? I once mentioned to you a ......"
This impression is a little vague, I only remember that the person seems to be Concubine Yu's former neighbor, when Concubine Yu broke her beloved skirt, he sent a new ...... after scolding her
"He was my childhood sweetheart, nine years older than me, and my mother picked him up by the edge of the forest. He was thin and hungry, and almost died. Our family was very poor, but my mother insisted on washing the milk day and night for others in exchange for a little money and asked Lang Chinese medicine to cure his illness. At that time, it was for him, we didn't even eat meat during the New Year. I hated him for this, and tricked him into going out and left him on the rocky hill, but he came back that night, his clothes were in tatters, and he was sick again, and my mother was so angry that she beat me......"
Concubine Yu chuckled and sighed: "Later, my mother died of illness due to overwork. I cried so hard that I finally fell asleep because I couldn't eat enough. I was awakened by a burst of fragrance, and as soon as I opened my eyes, I saw two buns and took a bite of them in surprise...... It's still minced meat! ”
Concubine Yu's eyes radiated a moving brilliance, not at all like a person who was about to die. Her tone was calm and soft, as if she were telling a bitter but romantic dream.
Then I saw him...... He saw that I was eating happily and obviously swallowed. I'm not stupid, I've been asleep all day, and the children in the family are younger than me, who will buy me meat buns? But...... Buy? My mother was buried wrapped in straw mats, and we didn't have a penny. I saw the scars on his face, understood everything, threw the bun to him, and called him a thief. He was not annoyed at all, picked up the buns, carefully removed the dirt on them little by little, and was reluctant to throw them away, so he ate them himself. For some reason, I wanted to cry when I looked at him. Then, he handed me another bun and said to me, "Eat it quickly, it's clean." All at once I started crying. He said, don't worry about how things come from, I promise my godmother to take care of you, and I won't let you go hungry! ”
Concubine Yu's voice was a little choked: "Later, we had food, and he was often covered with scars. My younger siblings scolded him while eating, and I was the only one...... Whenever I asked him to eat with us, he always didn't care, I had already eaten, but once I deliberately left half a steamed bun, and then found him hiding behind the house and cherishing it. Seeing me peeking at him by the window, I put the rest in my mouth at once, choking on tears coming out......"
Concubine Yu smiled, but tears slipped down the corners of her eyes.
"We lived like this for a year. During the year, my younger siblings contracted typhoid fever and died, leaving him and me alone, but I was also seriously ill. One day, he went out and came back with Lang Zhong with him. After Lang Zhong prescribed a few pairs of medicines, he paid the silver generously. I was so angry that I didn't know what he had done again, but it was for me, the dying man. But he was very happy to tell me what gang he had joined, and the eldest brother valued him very much, and when he heard that the family was sick, he immediately gave him silver, and he rolled up his sleeve to show me his tattoo, a rose-red poppy, but there was a worm that looked like a snake on it. ”
Concubine Yu sighed: "It seems that everything has changed since then." He really seems to be on the right path, but he still has injuries on his body, and he said that he was injured by practice. When I saw that no one in my family came to seek revenge for his theft, I believed it. At that time, I also learned from my mother to wash the laundry for other people, but the man in that family always did something to me, and one day it was almost ...... I went home crying, took a rope and hanged myself, and when he came back I was almost dying. That night, the man died, and he couldn't even find his head. I distinctly remember that he came back late that night and washed with the door closed for a long time. Under my questioning, he admitted that he killed the person, but he hugged me and roared, you are my woman, I don't allow anyone to bully you! ”
A shallow smile: "Later, we agreed to get married when I reached the age of fifteen." He also asked me a little worriedly, because it was said that if the Yun Fei woman was in love with a foreigner, her fate would not be long. But he didn't know, in fact, I had already relied on him for this life. In order to get married, he tried even harder, saying that he wanted to marry me in a beautiful way and let me be the first lady. How can I have that luxury? All I can think of is nothing more than two people living a peaceful life. But the things in this world are so undesirable. ”
A hint of ridicule was hooked on the corner of his lips: "When I embroidered the dowry early and looked forward to marrying him every day, he suddenly said to me that he wanted me to perform a task, and that task was very important to him, if it was successful, he would be the deputy head of that sect, and that task would be...... Assassinate the Emperor! ”
Turning his gaze to Su Jinling: "You must think, how can a weak woman like me assassinate the emperor?" I also suspected at the time, I even thought he was joking with me. But he said...... Not a joke, he assured me that the operation was foolproof and ...... No matter what I do, he will marry me......"
Concubine Yu laughed, and then coughed violently.
Yuwen Xuanyi, who was outside the window, heard the movement and turned around anxiously, but saw Su Jinling caressing Concubine Yu's chest and whispering to reassure.
He smiled reassuringly, sighed softly, and continued to look at the sky.
"If it were you, would you say yes?" Concubine Yu grabbed Su Jinling's wrist, and her strength was suddenly amazing.
But he didn't wait for her to answer, and smiled bitterly: "I agreed." I didn't know whether to help him get his wish or to be angry with him, but when I left, he tattooed a poppy flower with worms on my body, and I slapped him in the face. ”
His gaze suddenly turned cold: "Do you know what the foolproof action he is talking about?" ”
"What could be more foolproof than being a weapon in itself?" sneered: "He planted Gu on me, as long as this kind of Gu is intersected with a man, it will poison the man unconsciously." Once or twice is fine, but day after day, accumulating more, it will die very slowly and naturally, and if it is, it will ...... Then you will be eaten by Gu worms! ”
Su Jinling suddenly remembered the strange wriggling in the blood that Concubine Yu vomited on that thunderstorm night.
"Every moonless night, Gu insects regurgitate, eat bones and hearts, itchy, painful, sour and numb, but scratch can't ......" Concubine Yu recalled the unspeakable pain, her eyes couldn't help but widen, revealing infinite horror, and the hand holding Su Jinling's wrist was also trembling, sweating her light sleeves.
Su Jinling suddenly understood that Concubine Yu must not have expected that she would like the emperor, so she would ......
