Volume 3 Edge Chapter 4 Strange Things (3)
When she woke up in a daze, she saw a person sitting in front of her bed, and when she looked closely, it was Xuan Ye.
"Awake?" When Xuan Ye saw her wake up, he hurriedly called Fu'er to come in with rice porridge, and helped Chun Xi up to sit on the green satin pillow.
Chunxi reached out and touched his neck, which was wrapped in a white cloth, leaving a deep mark on it.
Taking the blue and white porcelain bowl handed over by Fu'er, Xuan Ye fed it to Chunxi's mouth, she swallowed it with difficulty, but he was worried, smiled lightly, and said that he was fine.
Xuan Ye looked at her distressedly, fed her a small mouthful, and told Fu'er to pour a glass of water.
Even though Chun Xi covered it up well, Xuan Ye was still aware of her discomfort. I barely fed her a few sips, filled my stomach, and let her drink some water to moisten it.
An Concubine is really ruthless this time, if someone hadn't rescued her in time, not to mention that she had lost her breath, I am afraid that her neck would have been broken.
"Did you save me?" Chun Xi moved his mouth, his voice was hoarse, and his throat hurt like a knife.
Xuan Ye shook his head, remembering the scene when Fang had just arrived.
Chunxi was lying unconscious on the bed, Imperial Doctor Lu was bandaging her, and Longxi and Fu'er were standing next to her with anxious expressions.
"What's wrong?" Xuan Ye asked urgently.
Fu'er recounted what happened, and Xuan Ye looked at Long Xi and thanked him: "Seventh brother, thank you." ”
Long Xi looked thoughtfully at Chun Xi on the bed with his eyes closed, his face was full of distress, and he was silent for a long time before he said to Xuan Ye: "I hope the emperor will take good care of Yi Concubine, and the younger brother still has something to do, and he wants to go to Cining Palace." I went first. ”
Xuan Ye nodded, taking in his every look. If Concubine An framed him for having an affair with Chunxi at that time, Xuan Ye didn't believe it. Now, the appearance of this affectionate paragraph, he can't help but believe it. At least, he knew that Longxi really cared about Chunxi in his heart.
inexplicably angry, but can only endure it.
"It was the seventh brother who saved you." Xuan Ye said truthfully, at least, it was true that Longxi saved her today, and he was grateful.
With a complicated expression, he smiled at Xuan Ye slightly, didn't speak, just buried his head in his shoulder.
Seeing Chun Xi snuggled in his arms like this, in an instant, all the unpleasantness disappeared.
Xuan Ye accompanied her to have dinner before returning to the Qianqing Palace to review the folds, and Chun Xi beckoned Fu'er to ask about the situation outside.
Fu'er said that Concubine An had been beaten into the cold palace by Xuan Ye, and said that she would be adjudicated after everything was clarified.
Chunxi asked again if Mu Hui had come back, and Fu'er shook her head and said no.
Chunxi's heart was entangled all of a sudden, it had been a day since the morning, and Mu Hui had never seen her since she was separated. Where did Mu Hui go? Is it still safe?
Is An Concubine really crazy? Looking at her appearance today, she should have been greatly stimulated.
Fu'er persuaded Chunxi: "Maybe tomorrow morning, Sister Mu will come back." ”
Although she knew that it was comforting, she also understood that Fu'er was bitter. It's just that he still refuses to rest assured, so he sent someone to look for it secretly, and waited all night to no avail.
This news made Chun Xi feel even more frightened, how could Mu Hui disappear out of thin air?
She suddenly remembered that Shu Sleeve beside her had disappeared like this for a few days, and then the corpse surfaced inexplicably.
She began to be scared, and kept comforting herself in her heart, Mu Hui was not bad, and she shouldn't be easy to ask. But things were far from going as she had hoped. After waiting for another day, I still didn't hear from Mu Hui.
Chunxi decided to go to the cold palace to see Concubine An once, even if she encountered any danger, she had to figure out the truth of the matter and find out Mu Hui.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Chunxi put on a black satin cloak, wrapped herself tightly in a hoodie, and secretly went to the cold palace with the same black clothes.
She thought that this would not be easy to be discovered, but she didn't know that on the way there, she met a concubine who returned late.
I really can't blame people for their sharp eyes, it's really that their dresses are too weird, which makes the concubines afraid. A few people who had already missed it were stopped by a scream from Duan Concubine. Duan Concubine stared at the two of them tremblingly, and asked nervously, "...... you Who are you? ”
I wanted to run away, but I was afraid that Duan Concubine would make a big deal out of it, so I had no choice but to pull her hat away, show her face, turn around and look at Duan Concubine and say, "It's me." ”
Seeing her face clearly, Concubine Duan was not afraid, straightened up and roared softly: "In the middle of the night, when you appear here, what do you want to do sneakily?" ”
"It's just a black robe, and it's late in the wind and the wind is strong, so I put my hat on." Holding back the pain in his throat, he finished what he was about to say in one breath. I didn't want to take care of the concubine anymore, and I didn't bother to hide anymore, so I turned around and left with Fu'er.
Duan Concubine was really stunned, she never expected that Chunxi would show her face, and she would leave without saying a word, and followed a few steps dissatisfied. But with flowerpot bottom shoes on his feet, he can't walk fast at all. Chunxi and Fu'er wore flat-soled embroidered shoes, and they threw the concubine far away in a few steps.
"Niangniang, will Concubine Niangniang talk nonsense when she goes back today?" Fu'er looked back a few times worriedly, and found that there was no one behind her.
"Let her be." Chunxi doesn't care so much about whether there is trouble now, Mu Hui's life is what matters.
With the faint moonlight and the faint lantern in Fu'er's hand, the two finally arrived at the gate of the cold palace.
The surrounding area is no longer the black wall that was burned down by the fire, and it has been repaired. There were a few guards guarding the door, and Fu'er took the silver and showed his identity again.
The guards hesitated, but they opened the door anyway.
"Niangniang should be careful, now Concubine An is no longer the same she used to be, and if she can't keep it, she will hurt people." Fu'er reminded in a whisper.
It was late at night, and most of the people had already slept, and the concubines in the cold palace were no exception.
She didn't hear the noise, and she couldn't find An Concubine's residence for a while, but thanks to the sharp eyes of Fu'er, she saw that one of the doors and windows was sealed with iron pillars, and it looked like a prison cell.
Chunxi walked over cautiously and raised the lantern to look inside. As soon as he leaned his head in front of the window, before he could see the situation inside, the window inside the iron pillar was suddenly opened.
It was not so much opened as it was demolished. The entire window was removed, revealing only a few iron pillars.
Chun Xi looked at An Concubine, who was holding the window frame in one hand and the iron pillar in the other.
Frightened by this, she staggered, took a step back, and looked at her in horror.
"Thank you for coming." An Concubine's unusually calm tone really surprised her. She looked at An Concubine in puzzlement, if it weren't for the face inside that she couldn't forget, she would never believe that the woman in front of her who was disheveled and fluffy was the arrogant An Concubine in the past.
It seems that since entering the palace, Chunxi has never seen her show such an unbearable appearance in front of people.
Even if he pounced on her for help, or grabbed her neck two days ago. At that time, although her clothes were dirty and covered in blood, she still looked comfortable.
It's not like now, it's like a wanderer, begging for a living.
"You're not crazy?" Fu'er exclaimed, she knew that Chunxi also wanted to ask like this, but the pain in her throat made her unable to scream.
"No, I'm crazy." An Concubine shook her head, looked at Chun Xi and said seriously: "Actually, I remember everything that day. But everything I did at that time was not my intention. ”
Chunxi looked at her suspiciously, but did not speak.
An Concubine looked at her neck, and her right hand passed through the pillar and touched her neck. Fu'er's reaction was very fast, and as soon as An Concubine stretched out her hand, she pulled Chun Xi and took a belt behind her, perfectly dodging it.
"Mother, beware."
"I'm sorry." An Concubine withdrew her hand, knowing that her actions had scared them.
This is the first time Chunxi has heard such a sincere apology in her mouth, which makes Chunxi want to wonder if she is seeing An Concubine today.
Could this be a person who wears the skin of An Concubine, disguises herself as her, and stands inside to confuse her?
Chunxi quickly forgot about her nonsensical thoughts, because she heard Concubine An's next words.
Her every word is unbelievable, but she has to believe it.
An Concubine said that she has been hallucinating lately, although she knows that those are hallucinations and unreal things. But his body was not called, running towards those illusions, doing some terrible things.
The most serious thing, of course, was that he almost strangled him to death that day.
In fact, at that time, she was just frightened, and then hallucinated. In the process of fighting with Chunxi, she was once sober and wanted to tell Chunxi about it. But she suddenly saw Concubine Tong coming over with a large group of people, and for some reason, she hallucinated in her mind again.
She looked at Ulva like a terrifying ghost. Obviously, she didn't do anything, but she felt like she was rushing towards her with teeth and claws.
She struggled to break free of the rope and clamp her neck, just because she was afraid that the ghost in front of her would hurt her.
Subconsciously, she knew that these were fakes and hallucinations, but the movements in her hands, the more she wanted to relax, the more she got stuck.
She didn't quite remember when she had hallucinations, but she reacted every time she saw something red.
She didn't dare to judge whether what Concubine An said was true or false, because it was very mysterious. But she looked at An Concubine's appearance and felt that An Concubine was not lying.
An Concubine also told her that she did not kill Tongguiren, but someone threw the body into her house. She was eating when she heard someone open the door of the temple and throw something in. When she went out to look, she saw a corpse covered in blood and blurred flesh. She was frightened and then had a slight hallucination.
As for the dagger, she had pulled it out of the corpse's chest in a hallucination. After the hallucination, she hid under the table in fear.
Later, Chunxi was also present. (Palace's Gate.. /31/31987/)--
