Volume 5 White Blade Chapter 22 Provocation
In the Chengqian Palace, Tong Ruofei and Tong Ruohua sat together to enjoy the cool and eat some chilled fruits.
Lian Xue stood on her side, replying to the news she had just gotten: "Niangniang, things are going as you planned, and they are going well. ”
Tong Ruohua raised her eyebrows, glanced at Lian Xue and Tong Ruofei, and was a little inexplicable: "What's the matter?" Did my sister plan anything big? ”
Tong Ruofei didn't answer her, but just asked Lianxue: "Dead?" ”
Lian Xue nodded: "Dead, died in front of the emperor." Moreover, the emperor has already issued an order, and news has spread that she has made a meritorious contribution to saving the driver, which is offset by the previous crime, and will not be pursued. ”
Tong Ruofei smiled with satisfaction, every step was towards the development she had expected, and it was expected that it would go so smoothly. Now, it's only this last step before the game is complete.
Tong Ruohua sat aside, looking at the smiles on the faces of the two of them, she only felt dazed, she wanted to ask but couldn't get an answer, Tong Ruofei never told herself what she thought about her plan at all. It seems that in Tong Ruofei's eyes, her own sister is no match for the slave in front of her.
Later, when Tong Ruohua understood the ins and outs of Chunyin's death, she was worried for a long time, she was afraid that she would live like Chunyin, and even the ending would be the same. If Chunxi didn't regard Chunyin as very important, Tong Ruofei was not much worse than her. Tong Ruohua felt pitiful and pathetic.
When Chunxi stood in front of the gate of Yonghe Palace, he had mixed feelings in his heart. The distance from Yikun Palace to Yonghe Palace is not close. But all the way, I thought about what I wanted to say after entering the door, but I was vetoed one by one. At this time, standing outside the door, her mind suddenly went blank, what should she do? Again...... What can I do?
"Niangniang, please go back, our concubine Niangniang has just lost her beloved son, and she has not been in good health recently, and she is not happy in her heart, and she doesn't want to see others. Particularly...... Especially you, mother. In the last sentence, Ji Xin said very hesitantly, but he still had the courage to look at Chunxi and say it.
When Mu Hui heard this, she was very annoyed, and said sharply: "What a slave, you dare to stop our mother." Now, our mother has just come out of confinement, and she is also very sad to know about the concubine, so she came to visit. If you don't hurry in and report, you dare to stop it? ”
Ji Xin was frightened by Mu Hui's scolding, stabilized his figure, and said to Mu Hui: "It's not that the slave is stopping, but the situation of the concubine at this time, it is really not suitable to see people." ”
"Get out of the way." Mu Hui stretched out her hand to push Ji Xin away and figure out a way for Chunxi, but was stopped by Chunxi: "Let's go." ”
"Mother." Mu Hui turned around and looked at Chunxi helplessly.
"Since people don't want to see us, we forcibly break in, what kind of attitude should we have when we see her? Let's go, the coming day will be long, and when her heart is resolved, we will come again. Chunxi felt very guilty in her heart, and she always felt sorry for her in the face of Lan Xin.
"Mother, it's not our fault in this matter. These things, Niangniang, you are also a victim, and you have also lost a lot. Mu Hui was unhappy in her heart, although Lan Xin's actions at the moment were excusable, she still couldn't hold back and wanted to speak for Chunxi: "It is a pity that the sixth elder brother lost his life, but Niangniang, you almost lost your life for this matter, and Nalan Gongzi ...... him"
Before Mu Hui finished speaking, Chun Xi had already spoken to stop her: "Okay, we can't compete with the pain of losing a child." What's more, I'm still standing here, but the sixth elder brother will never come back. If it were me today, I would be just as uncomfortable, and I wouldn't want to see anyone involved in it. ”
Chun Xi pulled Mu Hui and walked back, and said: "What's more, the person who made a big mistake was Chunyin, and now because of my relationship, Chunyin not only did not take responsibility for this matter, but even got rid of this infamy." It's normal for her to be upset with me. ”
Mu Hui turned her face away and held herself back from crying. She just felt sorry for her, and she had to bear so much and lose so much for the fault that didn't belong to her. The husband is not guilty, and Chun Yin is really miserable this time.
Hearing that Chunxi went to Yonghe Palace, he ran into a wall only when he reached the door, and Tong Ruofei felt that the time had come.
It was expected that good things were only one step away from the door. For the first time, she took noble steps and went to Yonghe Palace, which was closest to the Chengqian Palace where she lived. yes, she's here for the first time.
Seeing Lan Xin lying on the bed as if she was dead, seeing her face full of tears and a stunned look, Tong Ruofei felt that this was really the first time to observe her so carefully.
In the past, Lan Xin's role in herself was only the biological mother of the fourth elder brother, but she was just one of her many chess pieces. She is inconspicuous, and she never takes the initiative to participate in the battle of the harem, and her life is comfortable and smooth.
It's just that when Tong Ruofei knew that Lan Xin couldn't bear it like this and hid it by her side just to make a fuss, she realized that she had underestimated her in the past. Tong Ruofei felt that she saw people very accurately, and there would be almost no deviations. But Lan Xin was the first to hide her, and she did it just right.
It's not that Tong Ruofei didn't doubt her, but every time she had doubts, Lan Xin would resolve them smartly. Perhaps, because she is low-key and has a son in her own hands, Tong Ruofei doesn't care about her, nor does she care about what she does, so she ignores the heart she hides under the surface.
But after knowing Lan Xin's true purpose, Tong Ruofei understood that Lan Xin was not just what she showed on the surface, she was delicate and scheming. If it can be used for oneself, it is the best weapon.
She spent so long laying out this game, in order to let Lan Xin willingly follow her and do the real betrayal. Now, it's a great opportunity.
"You are so sad, but you can't bring back the child's life. Your sorrow is born by you and ends by you. Who but yourself can think about your suffering, and feel sorry for your loss? Tong Ruofei sat beside her, looking at Lan Xin's dejected appearance, and her tone was sad: "You want to serve others with all your heart, have you never wanted to be for yourself once?" ”
Lan Xin didn't speak, she was still staring ahead, her expression in a trance. Just like he didn't hear what Tong Ruofei said, he was unmoved, and he didn't squeak.
"Tell me something, at least it should be known to you." Tong Ruofei saw that she was still the same, and said: "A few days ago, I just got a news from Biansai, saying that Guo Guiren had meritorious service in saving the driver, and the crimes committed before his death were offset by merit and demerits, and they will not be investigated. ”
Hearing this, Lan Xin finally changed a little, her eyes moved, and she looked up at Tong Ruofei.
Seeing that this was effective, Tong Ruofei was secretly happy in his heart, and continued: "Guo Guiren was imprisoned in the cold palace before, that is, she has excellent body skills and can escape from the cold palace, how did she escape from the palace surrounded by the forbidden army?" And alone, he went to Biansai, and he happened to save the emperor's life? ”
"What exactly do you want to say?" Finally, Lan Xin opened her mouth and asked her the first question.
Tong Ruofei said unhurriedly: "She will escape, it is someone who is secretly helping." Not to mention how she found the emperor's whereabouts, just say that the emperor has so many guards around him, how could he be easily assassinated, and even need her to be a woman, but also a sinner to save her? It's just that someone has already arranged it, and the emperor is logical to help them at this critical juncture. ”
Although Tong Ruofei did not name him, he did not clearly say the name of Chunxi. But between the lines, the crime has already been deducted from Chunxi.
Lan Xin was silent again, hearing Tong Ruofei's words, her mind was chaotic, and she didn't know whether to believe it or not. After all, things have already happened, and the facts are in front of you. Tong Ruofei can't be a fool when Lan Xin is a fool, whatever she says, people will believe it. There must be some basis, and it must be that Chun Xi really did this. At least, it played a key role in it.
Lan Xin's heart was in turmoil, and the bits and pieces of her past relationship with Chunxi came to her mind. Over the years, she hasn't gotten along with Chun Xi in a bright way, she hasn't said a few words to her, and I don't know if she has changed, and she is no longer the person she knew before.
Although, Lan Xin was also thinking in her heart that the purpose of Chunxi doing this might just be that she didn't want more people to sacrifice for this matter. The reputation of the family and the growth of the children are all things that Chunxi has to consider and maintain. The purpose of the catharsis is probably as simple as that. However, in Lan Xin's heart, she knew that Chunxi had a hard time doing this, but she couldn't let go.
It was her child who died, and it was a happy event that she died, but she couldn't be happy.
"This palace knows that she has been kind to you, and you have some feelings for her in your heart." Tong Ruofei struck while the iron was hot, and said to Lan Xin: "But at this time, if it's not about feelings, it's wrong or wrong." For her own interests, in order to let Guo Guiren have a decent way to die, she made your child unable to even die. Guo Guiren died, and she understood this matter so hastily, she had a reason for it, and she shouldn't take other people's wounds and other people's pain to protect herself. Isn't that selfish? ”
Lan Xin looked up at Tong Ruofei, what was the purpose of what this woman said to her today? provoked her relationship with Chunxi, what benefits can she get?
Lan Xin's heart was confused, she hadn't been able to understand Tong Ruofei's true purpose, and she couldn't continue to figure it out. The pain of losing her son made her extremely painful, but it did not make her lose her mind.
Tong Ruofei is a person, Lan Xin couldn't be clearer. Now, what should she do is the best for herself, so that she can withdraw from this chaotic, ambitious, and cruel puzzle.
"If you want this palace to help you, as long as you say it, this palace will definitely agree." Tong Ruofei didn't say anything more, she got up and left. With all that said, if Lan Xin understood her intentions, she would definitely make a difference. If you don't understand, then this chess game is meaningless.
