040 The mystery of my identity
Nanakumo is a good girl who speaks her word. She said that she came to me on the fifteenth day, and sure enough, she appeared as soon as the time came.
"Let's go." She looked at me with an excited expression, her long eyelashes casting a line of shadows under her eyes.
"That ......," I was ready to retreat.
But she didn't intend to give me a chance at all, so she pulled me and walked outside: "If you have anything to say, I'll talk about it when I see him." ”
In order not to attract the attention of others, we did not dare to carry the lantern, so we could only run all the way by the light of the full moon.
I noticed that the direction seemed to be towards the west gate of the palace, and she seemed to have already figured out the way, and led me to skillfully avoid several patrols.
In the end, I ran out of breath, and she was too tired, but her perseverance was amazing, and she pulled me to continue running until I came to a rockery near the West Gate.
She was so tired that she couldn't straighten up, pointed to the rockery and gasped for breath and said, "You, you go in, he's inside." I'll let the wind go for you. ”
I looked at the shadows of the false mountain forest, there were many plants and trees in it, a gloomy feeling, I was breathing unsteadily and stood in place in a daze.
Nangumo shoved me from behind, "Come in." ”
My heart was twitching all the way, and since I had finally arrived, I was determined to meet this mysterious man and see what he could do to me.
I quietly walked to the depths of the rockery, walked for a while, and finally noticed a figure in front of me, he heard my footsteps, immediately turned to look at me, and then walked towards me.
When I saw him coming, I suddenly became scared again, and I felt the urge to run, but fortunately I held back, and just stood in place in a daze and waited for him to approach.
At this time, the moon is in the middle of the sky, and I can just see the person in front of me clearly. It was a man in his thirties, with a cold square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, dressed in the clothes of a guard.
He walked up to me in a few steps and suddenly his hands moved.
I thought he was going to hit me, so I instinctively jumped backwards like a rabbit, and when I looked at him again, I saw that he was actually clasping his fists at me, and said, "Xiao Du greets the princess." ”
I was stunned by the scene, and I was completely stunned.
Princess?!
What kind of princess am I? If I am really a princess, why should I dress up as a eunuch to serve Zhou Wei's plague god? Am I a masochist?
Regardless of the facts, I have to deal with this scene now, and seeing that he is still bowing his head, I said worriedly: "Ping, let's be flat." ”
"Princess Xie."
The man named Xiao Du raised his head, only to see that his eyes were red, and he seemed to be a little out of control, and he said sadly: "Princess, you have suffered. As he spoke, two tears flowed down at the same time.
There must be something important hidden in this, and I don't know it, so I tried to stabilize my mind and decided to talk about it first, and then I had amnesia when it really didn't work.
I asked casually, "You've been anxious to see me, but what's the matter?" ”
He cleared his throat, adjusted his emotions and said, "Princess Hui, according to your meaning, Lady Tieli has formed an alliance with the Tuoda tribe of Biansai, and everything is going as expected. ”
Who is Mrs. Tieli?? What the hell is the Tuoda tribe? What do they want to do?
My mind was in a mess, like asking a primary school student to solve a high math problem, not only did I not know where to start, but I couldn't even read the question.
"Good." My heart was beating wildly, and I only squeezed out these two words for a long time, and I didn't dare to say more, for fear that none of the words would be right.
He seemed to see my nervousness, and even comforted me: "Don't worry, princess, now that Zhou Wei is in power, there is no reason, although the time is shallow, but the people have already complained, when the time comes, we will definitely be able to destroy Xuan in one fell swoop and restore our dynasty." ”
Restore my dynasty? it!
It's like a thunderbolt exploding in my mind, daring to love me as a princess of the former dynasty!
Oh my God, I feel like I'm in the middle of a big deal, why am I here today? I can't do it, my mental quality can't bear these things......
This girl has a poor body, and when she is emotional, she will tremble involuntarily, and despite my desperate efforts to control it, he still finds out.
"Princess...... But not feeling well? He asked with concern.
I shook my head: "The wind is a little cool. ”
When he heard this, he took off his shirt and draped it over me. He seemed to be afraid that I would catch a cold, so he said, "Dare to ask the princess what else needs to be explained?" If not, ask Nangumo to send you back. ”
I took a sharp breath and tried to calm myself down. I turned to look at him and said, "Do you remember how we survived in the first place?" ”
I thought about this sentence several times in my heart before I asked it, but any change of dynasty is intolerable to the remnants of the previous dynasty, because they are the greatest potential danger, let alone a princess, it is conceivable that they must have survived after nine deaths at that time.
"Xiao Du will never forget it in his life..."
His gaze became deep and bleak, his brows furrowed, and he fell into a painful memory: "That night, inside and outside the palace, there were swords and swords, blood flowed like a river, the emperor and Niangniang were killed one after another, and Mrs. Tieli crawled out of the pile of dead people with the princess who had just completed the moon. I was fourteen years old, the youngest general of my dynasty, and I only used a broken sword to protect you and fight your way......"
Every change of dynasty was cruel, and I was affected by his grief-stricken voice, and I also felt my heart blocked. I didn't know what to say for a moment.
He let out a long sigh and asked me again, "Why did the princess suddenly mention this?" ”
I woke up when he asked that, yes, I asked to get information, but how should I explain it to him?
To stall for time to think, I sighed longer and said, "I'm just thinking...... I wonder if we will be as cruel as they were back then, and many innocent people will die because of this. ”
He looked at my face and was stunned for a moment, and then said strangely, "Princess, what's the matter?" Have you forgotten the oath you made two years ago to the tablet of the emperor and Niangniang? If I don't return to my dynasty, I will not give up. ”
I couldn't help but be a little stunned, I really couldn't imagine that I, a delicate girl with a body, was such a strong and ambitious girl.
I knew I had said the wrong thing, and that such an inconsistent disposition could easily lead to suspicion. So I wanted to make amends, and said, "Naturally, I won't forget, but I have suffered a lot, and I feel even more sorry for those who are suffering." ”
Xiao Du really felt sorry for their princess, and when he heard me say this, he immediately blamed himself: "It's all my fault for being useless, so that the princess has to be subservient." ”
I feigned sorrow and sighed, "Even so, I have not been able to accomplish anything. ”
"The princess must not be presumptuous, you are willing to enter the palace as a slave in order to avenge the hatred of destroying the country, killing your father and killing your mother, and this alone is enough to comfort the emperor and her mother in the inspiration of heaven."
In order to penetrate the enemy, he entered the palace as a slave, which I can understand, but why do you have to be a eunuch, and being a palace maid is not better than this?
I said tentatively: "If I was a palace maid at the beginning, I would be better than now." ”
When he heard this, he looked at me with a strange expression for a while, and finally said: "The palace maid must not be able to do it, Zhou Xuanyong's old thief never gave up looking for the princess who escaped back then, and he was more worried that you would sneak into the palace in some capacity, so he ordered all the female relatives who entered the palace, whether they were concubines or palace maids, to have a comprehensive and thorough investigation." In this situation, we can only steal beams and change pillars so that you can avoid the physical examination and enter the palace as a eunuch. ”
It dawned on me that this was the case.
"Princess." He suddenly called me in a solemn tone, "At that time, you still proposed this idea, why are you questioning it now?" ”
suffered, touched the muzzle of the gun, if it is really too much, it will be lost. I made up my mind, so I could only take out my housekeeping skills, and began to talk nonsense seriously: "I'm just sighing, at that time, if I had the opportunity to be a palace maid, life would be easier than now." Do you know how uncomfortable it is for me to face the son of the murderer of his father every day, not only can he not have a seizure, but he also has to be beaten and scolded, and he will grovel to serve? ”
Before I finished speaking, I only heard a "bang", which startled me, it was Xiao Du who punched the rockery, he gritted his teeth, and his eyes were full of resentment.
"Don't do this, I've gotten through it, and it's not going to be like this all the time, is it?"
I comforted him with my mouth, but I couldn't help but feel a little happy in my heart, this princess's suffering was his weakness, and seeing the way he blamed himself and suffered now, he had long forgotten all about my little flaws.
He stabilized his mood, pulled the clothes he had draped over me, and said, "The princess should go back and rest early, lest she catch a cold." If there's anything important, I'll let Nanakumo come to you. ”
Speaking of Nanunome, I couldn't help but ask him, "That girl is our person, right?" ”
He shook his head: "No, she doesn't know anything. After a pause, he added: "That's also a miserable girl, just because I saved his life, and she did all this to repay her kindness." ”
To my surprise, I wondered, "How could she not know anything?" She's been urging me to come to see you......"
"I told her that you are my younger brother, and because the family was too poor at that time, I had to let you enter the palace as a eunuch. She only asked me to bring you some food every time, and my mother was seriously ill recently, so I had to persuade you to go home and have a look. ”
yes, I nodded.
We left the target at the same time, so I gave him back my coat and went out first.
The wind outside the rockery was stronger, and Nanakumo was squatting on the ground and shivering.
I grabbed the silly girl and hurried back.
She looked closely at my expression and seemed to think that I was in a good mood, and asked, "How's it going?" Do you understand them? Your father and mother also have hardships, and Brother Xiao is really good, and he is good to you. ”
I could only continue to talk to her, and I couldn't help but glance at her and complained: "I knew it was him, so I wouldn't come." ”
She smiled: "You lie to people, in fact, you already know in your heart that they are wrong, otherwise there will be someone who is so good to you." ”
Looking at her silly smile, I couldn't help but feel envious, how good it was to live as simple as her.
Where is it like me......
