Chapter 50: Unraveling the Mystery
……
"Where did you get this letter, and who is behind it?"
In the cool and gray cellar, there was a sudden "pop" sound of a dull sound of a palm strike.
The man who was prostrate on the ground took a while to prop up his arms, stand up, and say with a dying breath: "Slave, cough cough...... Think...... See the side of the wind. ”
"Hmph, for the trouble of the people of the General's Mansion, Mrs. Ben will not let go, leaving you is already Xiao Er's kindness until now, as for Ruo ......"
"Mother."
Hearing the call, Lian Huaying subconsciously looked at the door of the cellar, and was interrupted by someone who came, instead of being annoyed, she was full of majesty, and said with concern: "Why don't you rest well, what are you doing here?" ”
"What's the matter, Xiao Er should be dawn if she sleeps again." The delicate and crisp voice came again, and Xiao Huang responded to her words with a clever smile while looking at the situation in the cellar.
Due to the perennial vacancy of the General's Mansion, there is nothing stored in the cellar, and the already empty and abandoned place never thought that it would be full of vitality today because of a few of them.
There were four people in the cellar in total, including her.
is different from the usual gentle and peaceful, the three princesses at this time have more fierceness between their eyebrows, what about even Mama? I couldn't see any change, standing behind Lian Huaying with her hands and eyebrows closed as usual.
And the man who knelt in the middle of the cellar......
Stepping down the stone steps, Xiao Huang walked in front of Ruochen, "You want to know about your sister's situation, right?" ”
Hearing this, the latter glanced at her blankly, and sneered to himself, "Hehe, the slave's family died early in the morning on the way north...... Where did you get your sister? ”
"Really? It seems that Ruofeng's wish to see her sister before she died, I can't fulfill her. ”
Xiao Huang's words were like a powerful *, instantly detonating the tense nerve in Ruochen's heart, and she raised her head suddenly, "What's wrong with her?!" ”
"You admit it?" I don't care.
"I did all this, I have nothing to do with her, she doesn't know anything about it, if she wants to kill or kill you, you're all coming at me, coming at me!"
No longer calm, Ruochen's eyes were scarlet, and he suddenly grabbed forward like crazy.
Mama Lian was shocked, and before the word "careful" could be spoken, she saw Lian Huaying's figure flashing, and while kicking Ruochen away, she pulled Xiao Huang behind her with one hand.
"Xiao'er, are you hurt anywhere?"
Xiao Huang smiled, "It's not hurt, my mother is at ease." ”
"You kid." Even Hua Ying's heart palpitated, and her face couldn't help but sink, "Mama, you take Miss back to ......"
"Mother, Xiao'er is a little hungry."
The coquettishness for no reason made her thoughts slow down by half a beat, "Hungry?" ”
Xiao Huang nodded wordlessly, looking at his mother's eyes, which was extremely sincere and commendable...... If humans hadn't evolved, I'm afraid she would have wagged her tail and begged for food pitifully.
Seeing her daughter with such a face, even Huaying's heart was inexplicably sour.
Thinking of the suffering her daughter suffered from being grounded in the ancestral hall in the past few days, the more she thought about it, the more distressed she became, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that Xiao Huang had lost a lot of weight, and blurted out "What do you want to eat?" I'm going to do it for you. ”
"No matter what her mother does, Xiao'er loves to eat."
"You little gluttonous cat, that's ......," she said, "but here?" ”
"As for Ruochen...... I'll leave it to Xiao'er, and I promise to do it properly. ”
Lian Huaying hesitated, Xiao Huang immediately showed a bitter look that was looked down upon, "Does my mother think that she is a person who has not eaten for a few days, and she has the ability to do something to Xiao Er?" Or is it that the mother looks down on people? ”
Glancing at the person who fell on the corner, Lian Huaying compromised: "Okay then." ”
In a hurry just now, she used nearly six layers of strength with that kick, although it didn't use internal strength, but for an ordinary person who lacked food and water, it was enough to make her lose her danger.
"The slave doesn't know anything, even if the young lady takes the lady away, the result will be the same." The weak words rang out in the cellar that had fallen silent again, and with a slight echo, it was unusually clear.
After looking at the figures of the two and walking away, Xiao Huang turned around and looked down at Ruochen condescendingly, and the coldness in his eyes gradually appeared, which was very different from the well-behaved, innocent and lovely people before.
"You can see my tricks, how can my mother not know? She clings to me, just because she cherishes her daughter, and does not involve any interests and selfishness. ”
The anatomy gaze made Ruochen's heart furious, she lowered her head, and her voice trembled slightly, "What about Miss?" ”
"Me?" Xiao Huang slanted the corners of his mouth, "I like to do business." ”
Ruochen was a little puzzled, "The status of the slave is humble, and the life of the ant is not what can be traded with the young lady." ”
"No, I'm sure you have, unless...... If the wind is poisonous, you don't want to solve it, and if the wind is dead, you don't want it anymore. ”
Ruochen's eyes widened suddenly, and he opened his mouth in shock, but he couldn't say a word.
Seeing this, Xiao Huang lightly opened his lips and indifferently spit out a name, "Epiphany." ”
"Oh, a kind of chronic poison, because the time of the attack coincides with the time when the epiphany blooms at night, so it is named epiphany, the poisoned person is no different from ordinary people on weekdays, but when the poison is like ten thousand insects eating the body, not only the itch is incomparable, but also extremely hurts the muscles and bones, presumably ...... This is the reason why if the wind is empty, it is difficult to exert it. ”
Speaking of this, a touch of irony fluttered on the corner of Xiao Huang's lips, "Epiphany? It was a beautiful and short life, but unfortunately, the length of time that the poisoned person endured was not just a flash in the pan.
If there is no antidote, then if the wind is ...... Oh, it's your sister, who will die like a ruined flower after a night of pain, when the morning dawn breaks......"
"Say no more!"
Ruochen closed her eyes, her face could not hide the pain, she fell down next to the pile of dead grass in the corner of the wall, and the grass stalks in the corners of her eyes were soon covered with cloudy teardrops.
Finally, she couldn't help but break down, "Yes, she is my sister, my only relative, what the hell did you do to her?!" ”
Like a piece of ice that could not be burned, Xiao Huang turned a blind eye to the sadness in front of him, and said to himself: "It depends on you, doesn't it?" ”
After a while, Ruochen raised his head, and there was a hint of clarity in his eyes, "What do you want to know?" ”
There was no echo in the air, only a finger of bamboo hoop rubbing the ground and rolling to her feet, she was stunned, and then smiled bitterly, "It turns out that you are the person I should be most wary of." ”
The bamboo hoop contains the sentinel of the General's Mansion, as well as the list of visitors after Jimo Liyun returned to Beijing, the drawings were drawn by her own hands, and the letters were written by her own hand, no need to look at them, Ruochen knew what was inside.
"Who do you serve and for what purpose?"
"Hehe, I said...... Will I still be alive? ”
"If you're honest enough, at least your sister's life won't be in trouble."
"You're going to save her?" Ruochen couldn't believe it, but there was a sudden brilliance in her dim pupils.
"It's not that it will, but it can, as I said, it's up to you."
So, what else is she not satisfied with? From the moment she stepped into the General's Mansion, didn't she already anticipate her end?
Suddenly, Ruochen felt relieved in his heart, "Young General, Du Yun." ”
"Du Yun?"
"Well, he is the son of Du Yansheng, the general of Sui Yuan."
Sui Yuan?
Xiao Huang's mind flashed, what a coincidence, she actually heard this name twice in one day, no, it should be a title.
……
In the final analysis, the Ruochen sisters are also people with a hard life, they were originally displaced people who moved north, and after fleeing to Kyoto, they were sold into the green building by their teeth, and they almost lost their lives after escaping several times, and Ruofeng was seriously injured because of this.
When Qian's donkey skills were poor, Ruochen agreed to pick up the customer, and in exchange for asking the doctor to treat her only sister.
That night, Ruochen stood in the midst of a group of women with flowers and branches, sneering on their shoulders, his expression was gloomy, his face was like ashes, and he didn't move in place like a wooden pestle.
But her unusualness has aroused the interest of several famous sons in Kyoto City, and Du Yun is one of them.
People who are in the Fengyue place, as long as you have money, which one is not held as an uncle? Not to mention that they not only have money, but also status and status.
The guests were used to it, and in vain came a woman who was indifferent to them, and she was still a woman who was about to be pressed under them, and for a while, the desire to conquer several sons and brothers was hooked out.
Just when Ruochen was desperate to accept his fate, Du Yun's identity changed from a spectator to a buyer, he easily sent a few drunken companions, and then ransomed their sisters, placed another garden, and asked Ruofeng to treat his injuries.
When she met Du Yun in a desperate situation, Ruochen was grateful indescribably in her heart, but fate was so capricious, she thought that she and her sister had finally come to the end of their hardships, but they didn't know that they got out of the wolf's den and entered the tiger's mouth......
It was a very cold day, and the wind blew people cold all over their bodies, and they also blew people very awake, Ruochen sat in the courtyard until her legs went numb, until a scream in the middle of the night woke her up.
That night was a nightmare for her.
I still remember that she ran into Ruofeng's room at that time, and saw her sister, who should have been asleep, rolling on the ground scratching her ears and cheeks, the clothes on her body were constantly torn by her, her face was hideous, her eyes were red, and her nails were picking at the flesh as if she was about to scratch off a layer of skin......
She has never harmed anyone, and she doesn't want to hurt anyone, but isn't her favorite sister a fresh life? Therefore, when Du Yun came to her desperate with the antidote, Ruochen compromised with tears.
On the way to the palace of the brave general with the reward of Emperor Xia Yu, the chief manager of Fuquan killed the two palace maids who had fallen behind with her own hands, took off their palace clothes and mixed into the line with Ruofeng.
For the first time, Ruochen's hands trembled for a day, but she didn't even have time to relax, because Du Yun asked her to monitor everything in the general's mansion, no matter how big or small, she couldn't hide it in the slightest.
And she, for her sister's antidote every month, is destined to live cautiously and walk on thin ice......
