Chapter Forty-Eight: Nightmare
Mother......
The slave's eyes were red, as if the scabbed wound on her heart had been suddenly opened with a sharp blade. Only to find that the flesh and blood had festered deeply, and black blood flowed down the wound, all over the body, and soaked the bone marrow.
"You were born with a red crescent birthmark on the palm of your hand. There was a Taoist priest who came to the house to tell your fortune, saying that when you were born, you held a red sickle, and your life brought wealth and wealth, and the Lord killed. Being able to turn the sun and the moon upside down will bring disaster to Great Xia. ”
Fang Gu didn't look at the slave's shocked face, and remembered the old things vividly. "And the year you were born, floods and plagues were rampant. Natural and man-made disasters continue. The lady went to visit the fortune teller herself. Name you a slave and suppress your fate. After that, everything returned to normal. ”
"When Madame was seriously ill, she summoned me and told me that if one day Mademoiselle really fulfilled that prophecy, let me think of killing you." The old things that had been piled up in my heart for many years were finally spoken, and the tight strings suddenly relaxed. Fang Gu slowly turned to look at the slave and slowly spoke.
"The county lord is precocious, I thought it was forced by life. But then I gradually discovered that the county lord's precocious wisdom was simply to fulfill his own ambitions. You have now attained a status and glory that many people have never asked for in this life, and you want more. People's desires only increase, and if the county lord does not let go, he will only fall into it and cannot extricate himself. Under the Yellow Spring, how can Mrs. rest assured! ”
The slave listened to all of Fang Gu's words in silence, and her mood became very strange, not angry with her mother, not blaming Fang Gu for her betrayal, but surprisingly calm, eerily calm.
"When she died, Li Yuzhi ordered people to cover their faces with hair and stuff their mouths with chaff, how could they be at ease under the yellow spring?" The slave chuckled, the corners of her eyes moistened.
"his upside down, go to his natural and man-made disasters. Don't want me to fight, I want to fight. Life? What is Fate? I want the world to be in my hands, and let me turn my hands into clouds and cover my hands into rain. I want to be worshiped by all people, I want me to be a sword, a man to be a fish! ”
Nu'er looked at Fang Gu with red eyes, "Who can help me?" Who can help me! ”
Fang Gu looked at Nu'er in shock, she shook her head slightly, but she knew that no matter what she said now, she couldn't stop this twelve-year-old girl's ambition from swelling.
Eyes collided with line of sight, and Fang Gu couldn't help but feel a chill. She saw in the body of a twelve-year-old girl the murderous aura exuded by the Queen Mother when she fought in the harem. But at that time, the Queen Mother was already twenty-four years old, and she was only twelve years old.
The underwear on the back has been stuck with sweat. Fang Gu couldn't help but shrug her shoulders and shake off the undershirt that was glued to her back. She knew exactly what she would face after the incident.
Nu'er got up, dragged her long skirt and slowly walked to the door to stop, she looked back and whispered, "You are a smart person, naturally you know that I can't tolerate you from now on." Find a decent way to die, I don't want to make a fuss too ugly. ”
After that, the slave left without looking back.
Fang Gu stared at the departing back for a long time, until the back disappeared around the corner, and she was still staring at it in a daze. She had always known that the county lord was ruthless, but she never thought that in this child's heart, death was just a faint word.
That's it.
The dying man cares so much about what to do. Fang Gu sighed faintly, got up from the ground, straightened the hair comb on her head, and straightened her belt. Then she raised her head, straightened her waist, and strode out. She walked very slowly, stopping for a moment at every step to see the view of the General's Mansion.
For so long, this was the first time she had calmed down to appreciate this strange rocky mountain. Unfortunately, this is the first and last time. Fang Gu walked to the side of the river and stopped. The snow and ice have melted, and the frozen river has begun to flow.
Fang Gu raised her feet and stepped step by step onto the ice that had formed above the river. She watched the crack stretch out from beneath her feet, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and with a smile of serenity and relief, she slowly walked to the side of the river that was already flowing.
She closes her eyes and lets the river of ice and snow bury her.
Poof.
The river made a splash.
The next day, Nu'er and Lu Yinhua returned to the palace together.
Changqing Palace.
The slave leaned on the Luohan couch, with a fluffy coat on her body, and she supported her head with one hand and closed her eyes to rest.
"New eyebrows." The slave called.
"What does the county lord command?"
"I went to the Internal Affairs Office to report that the head of the Changqing Palace accidentally fell into the water in the General's Mansion, and the person was buried nearby. Let them support two more people to come and help. From today on, you are the palace maid in charge of Changqing Palace. ”
"County Lord, I ......" Xinmei was flattered.
In the palace, it is really rare for a palace maid to climb onto the dragon bed and become a phoenix. Their best way out is to follow a good master, the master is glorious, they are glorious, and they can speak harder among the palace ladies and eunuchs. The most important thing is to become a high-ranking female official, but that is also set up for the daughters of princes and ministers.
For palace maids like Xinmei, being able to become the head of a palace is a good errand. This son is generally an old and experienced grandmother, and according to normal times, the new eyebrows have to struggle for at least another seven or eight years before they can fight.
However, now that she is so young, she can get a position that no one can hope for, and how much envy there is, how much jealousy there will be. Jealousy, Xinmei will become the target of the palace maids and eunuchs. Learn to deal with these jealousies calmly and learn to accept the envy of others, which is also the experience that the slave wants to give her.
It's just that because of Fang Gu's death and the trouble of fighting every day in the General's Mansion, I am really physically and mentally exhausted. The slave didn't want to explain too much, so she turned over and said, "Go ahead." ”
Xinmei nodded, "Yes." ”
After returning to the palace, everything began to gradually return to normal. Lu Yinhua was quite loved by the Queen Mother, and he accompanied the Queen Mother to study with the Buddha every day, and gained a reputation for being virtuous and virtuous. And even if Emperor Yuan An was busy with government affairs, he would come to the Changqing Palace every once in a while to see the slaves, and from time to time he would reward the slaves with some novelties.
is different from Lu Yinhua's low-key gentleness, because of Emperor Yuan'an's favor, the slave has attracted the attention of the public. She lives a wanton and flamboyant life, but she also has a reputation for being clever and intelligent. Of course, this has a lot to do with Emperor Yuan'an's praise every day.
Nu'er also figured out the temperament of Emperor Yuan An in getting along again and again.
Half a year has passed. Everything that happened in the General's Mansion dissipated with the passage of snow and ice. The slave who slept on the jade pillow every day did not know that her unintentional actions half a year ago had caused the entire Great Xia nobles to be uneasy.
Lu Zhi fought for half a year, broke the barbarians, and recovered three cities.
This year, Nu'er was thirteen years old.
Lu Zhi fought for a year, won three battles in a row, and directly raised the head of the enemy leader on the battlefield.
This year, Nu'er was fourteen years old.
Seeing that triumph was imminent, something happened in Liangzhou, a city that seemed to be cursed.
The barbarian army surrendered by deception, attacked at night, and joined forces inside and outside.
The famous general Fuyuan was also accidentally stabbed in the heart during the fight and died in battle.
The battle of Great Xia was a fiasco.
