Chapter 47: Death and Resurrection
"Lord Wang!"
"Lord Wang!"
Two identical calls came out in unison, one from Ozhilan and the other from Bingya.
Seeing that Su Yichen looked at him with a strange expression, Ou Zhilan staggered his gaze and said, "Lord Wang, although Bingya deserves to die, today is the day our child was born, and it is always bad to see blood." And the princess has also returned home, this is a happy thing, but don't be because of ...... Because this spoils the scenery. According to the concubines, it is still ...... It's better to put her in a dungeon, beat twenty boards tomorrow, and expel her from the palace. ”
"How?" Bai Lilan looked at Ou Zhilan's increasingly pale face with amusement. She knew what Ojilan was afraid of. If Bingya is sentenced heavily, it is very likely that Bingya will not be able to withstand the torture and tell the truth of the matter, so if Ou Zhilan wants to intercede for Bingya, it is best to send her far away immediately, and never return to the capital in this life. If that's the case, what else is there to play with the game? Bai Lilan raised her eyebrows and continued, "Although the side concubine is kind-hearted, she can't tolerate such slaves. If you make a mistake, you will be punished, otherwise how to explain it to the queen mother and the emperor in the palace? Just before I went back to the palace, Mama Su sent someone to bring me a silk cloth, and I accidentally told Mama Su what happened here. I'm afraid that now the Queen Mother is in a state of anger. If it's so cheap, I'm afraid the Queen Mother won't agree. ”
"What, the Queen Mother also knows?"
"Yes," Bai Lilan looked at Ou Zhilan casually and said, "This kind of thing always spreads quickly, and the concubine should know something." ”
"However, the child has not yet come out of the full moon, and it is always bad to see blood."
"You don't need to see blood," Baili Lan hooked the corners of her lips and smiled charmingly. But in Ou Zhilan's eyes, it is like a ghost in the dark night, which can absorb the essence of your people, "Then give a white silk to ensure that it is handled cleanly, and it will not touch the moldy head of the side concubine." ”
Seeing that she couldn't make sense with Bai Lilan, Ou Zhilan had to turn sideways and look at Shu Yichen for help, and begged in a low voice, "Lord Wang, Bingya has followed me anyway, although she was fascinated by ghosts for a while and weaved shocking lies, but it was really unbearable to kill her concubine like this." Why don't you just open the net and spare her this time, okay? Seeing that Su Yichen didn't speak, Ou Zhilan's heart was anxious, and before she could make a sound, she felt that it was dark in front of her, and her body fell straight backwards uncontrollably.
"Miss!" Yingge hurriedly supported Ou Zhilan, and then summoned the doctor, Xiao Shizi heard a piercing call, woke up from his dream, and began to cry, and the scene was chaotic for a while.
This woman's pretending to be dizzy is really a tried and tested move!
Bai Lilan leisurely fiddled with the handkerchief in his hand, and then ignored the chaotic palace, got up and was about to leave.
"Where are you going? The side concubine has been produced, and you can move back to the palace. Shu Yichen had been staring at Baili Lan, and when he saw her get up and try to leave, he hurriedly stopped her.
"When do you want to live this kind of chicken-flying dog jumping day every day, when are you coming to pick me up!" Bai Lilan heard Su Yichen's voice, but she didn't even look back, and disappeared into the layers of light veils like that.
took a few maids to get into the carriage, and Baili Lan began to close her eyes and recuperate. Suddenly, Xia Yu knelt down in front of Baili Lan and slapped himself without saying a word, startling the other three maids.
"Xia Yu, what are you doing, get up quickly!"
Although her arm was held in her hand by the spring breeze, Xia Yu's cheeks were already red and swollen, which showed how much strength she had just used.
"County Lord, please punish Xia Yu. It's all me, I mistrusted people, if it weren't for the county lord's foresight, I would have fallen into the way of the villain, and you would have fallen into a crisis! ”
Bai Lilan looked at Xia Yu indifferently, and there was no trace of waves in her voice, "You are not wrong, you are originally kind, but I don't know people clearly, so you did inappropriate things in an inappropriate position." ”
"County Lord!" Xia Yu looked at Baili Lan in horror, her originally innocent eyes were full of shock and panic, "Aren't you going to ask for Xia Yu?" Xia Yu is not going anywhere, Xia Yu will change, please let Xia Yu follow you and serve you! ”
Chunfeng, Qiushuang and others also knelt down one after another, pleading for Xia Yu, but Baili Lan was still unmoved.
"County master, the slave and maid have been serving by your side since childhood, if you let the slave and maid go, it is really better to kill the slave and maid with a knife!" As soon as Xia Yu thought that she would not be able to accompany Baili Lan in the future, she felt a cramp in her heart, so that she didn't even have the strength to cry.
Hearing this, Baili Lan slowly opened her eyes, looked at Xia Yu who was kneeling at her feet, and said coldly, "You will really do anything to return to me?" ”
Seeing that Baili Lan was willing to talk to herself, Xia Yu happily wiped away her tears, nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, the slave is willing to do anything!" ”
"Okay, then tonight, you're going to kill Bingya!"
"Kill, kill?"
"Yes, haven't you ever killed anyone?"
Xia Yumu nodded solemnly.
"That's just right, killing the person who framed you doesn't make you kill innocents indiscriminately. You can repay the bill, and you can prove to me that you are really willing to do anything for me. ”
Xia Yu's lips gradually turned white, she still couldn't understand why Baili Lan wanted to let herself kill Bingya, "County Lord, even if I don't clean her up, the prince won't let her go, why let her have blood on her hands?" If it is known, it will not benefit you! ”
"Hmph, it's not like you haven't seen Ou Zhilan's kung fu of reversing black and white today, if you give them a little more time, I'm afraid that in the end, Bingya will just suffer a little bit of flesh and skin, and then still pretend to be pitiful and deceive the world. If she deceived someone else today, it would be fine, but when she ran into me Baililan, I will never show mercy to the person who provokes me! ”
Xia Yu wanted to say something, so Bai Lilan threw her a thick hemp rope and said coldly, "Just use it to strangle Bingya from behind, and then arrange the scene to die by suicide." Remember, do it cleanly and leave no traces. ”
The little hand trembled and stretched forward, and when it touched the edge of the hemp rope, it suddenly withdrew its palm as if frightened, and kneel on the ground again and prayed one after another, "County master, the slave is afraid, the slave is really afraid." That's a living human life, how can you say that if you kill it, you can kill it! ”
"Her life is fate, isn't yours!" Bai Lilan's face changed suddenly, and she said in a fierce voice, "You haven't killed anyone, so you ask the spring breeze, autumn frost and winter snow, which of them hasn't had other people's blood on their hands!" If you want to make an earthly white lotus, it depends on whether the world allows it or not! If you don't want to be hurt, you have to keep hurting others! This is your destiny, the destiny of being born in this world! If you still want to be with me, then put away this rope and do what you have to do. Otherwise, leave, pack up and leave! ”
Xia Yu was silent for a long time, and her soul seemed to have left her body. She looked at the rope with vacant eyes, her fingertips trembled a few times, and finally slowly stretched over, holding the rope in her hand, and holding on to it.
The next day, Baili Lan received the news that Bingya committed suicide in fear of sin. And Xia Yu has never been out of the room since he came back in the early morning. Chunfeng was worried about her and wanted to call her out, but was stopped by Baili Lan.
"Let her think about it, no one can walk for her in the future, and she has to figure it out for herself."
Although his eyes were full of worry, the spring breeze still stayed by Baili Lan's side, and he didn't have the idea of going over to visit Xia Yu.
That night, when a few maids were waiting for Baili Lan to go to bed, Xia Yu ran to Bai Lilan's side with red and swollen eyes, and said in a low voice, "County Lord, the slave maid has decided, to be a person as strong as you." From now on, I will only listen to the words of the county lord and no longer trust people indiscriminately! ”
"Got it, come and remove the beads from my head." Bai Lilan said casually, and didn't seem to take Xia Yu's previous mistakes to heart.
After Xia Yu heard this, he knew that Baili Lan had forgiven him. Sure enough, it's the style of the county lord, and even appeasing people is so cold and indifferent.
Xia Yu suddenly felt that the tip of his nose was astringent, so he took a deep breath and stepped forward to fiddle with Baililan's bead flowers. Seeing this, the other three maids looked at each other and smiled.
Although it is a little more dangerous, it is also a good thing that Xia Yu can grow quickly.
Dexterous fingers interspersed in the black hair, Xia Yu regained her previous clean and bright smile, she took a fancy to the stunning woman in the bronze mirror, and said, "County Lord, has anyone praised you, you are really a very good person!" ”
Baili Lan was once described as cold, bloody, decisive, and alert, but no one alone praised others for being good. It was the first time to be praised like this, and Bai Lilan felt a little uncomfortable. But looking at Xia Yu's bright smile, he didn't bother with her too much, and let her go.
***
After the Bingya incident, Ou Zhilan couldn't sleep well for several nights in a row, always feeling that there was a figure shaking in front of her, and even after falling asleep, she often dreamed that Bingya came to ask for her life. After spending nearly half a month like this, Ou Zhilan lost weight rapidly, and even taking care of Xiao Shizi became a problem.
However, few people cared about Ou Zhilan's condition. What everyone values is the existence of Xiao Shizi. Xiao Shizi is like a living contract. Because of the bloodline, several people who were originally strangers are connected together, and because of the bloodline, the bond of interests is stronger.
On this day, there was a word in the palace, saying that Concubine Jin wanted to meet Xiao Shizi, and hoped that Ou Zhilan could enter the palace in person. Ou Zhilan naturally knew what Concubine Jin wanted to see, so even if she dragged her sick body, she still wanted to enter the palace to see her.
Unfortunately, the night before entering the palace, Ou Zhilan accidentally blew the wind, and the fever did not stop that night, and everyone was burned and confused. As a last resort, she could only be the nominal princess Baili Lan, and took Xiao Shizi into the palace to meet Concubine Jin.
Knowing that the person she wanted to see didn't come, but the person she didn't want to see appeared instead, Concubine Jin looked at Xiao Shizi with little interest, so she left first under the pretext that she was unwell.
Bai Lilan thought to herself that she was going to the palace anyway, so why not let the Queen Mother take a look at this child. Judging from Ou Zhilan's current body, I'm afraid it will be better for a while. If the Queen Mother heard that Concubine Jin had seen the child one day, and she wanted to see it on a whim, wouldn't she have to run by herself?
So, while it's still early today, let's go and see the Queen Mother by the way.
