Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Pain of the Past
Hearing this, Jing Rong suddenly became angry, frowned tightly, the blue tendons on his forehead rose, and shouted angrily: "What? How do you do things, you can't even look at a woman, a bunch of rubbish. He breathed a sigh of relief, calmed the anger in his chest slightly, and said to Mu Xuefu: "You go back first, and this king will go and have a look." ”
Mu Xuefu heard the word "fire", her face changed suddenly, and even her body was tense, hearing Jingrong say this, she was just about to nod, when Princess Wen Yu said: "There is a fire in the ancestral hall, how can you stay out of it as a housewife." ”
Mu Xuefu took a deep breath and calmed herself, "The concubine is fine, Lord Wang, let's go over and take a look, where is the tablet of my father-in-law and mother-in-law still inside." ”
Jing Rong was already anxious, and he didn't care about Mu Xuefu's stiff expression, so he took her to the ancestral hall with a sigh.
By the time they reached the ancestral hall, the fire had not subsided, but had become more and more intense with the cold wind. The stronger the wind, the bigger the fire, the ancestral hall has burned down most of it, and everywhere there is the pungent smell of burning, the dark Liang Yu and the traces of water splashing, a mess.
"Where's the tablet?" Jing Rong stepped forward in a few big steps, grabbed a firefighter casually, and asked in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, the tablets of the old prince and the old princess are intact." Zhou Cheng held the tablets of King Yu and Princess Yu and ran to Jing Rong's side, his hair was messy, and his clothes had obvious signs of being burned. At first glance, it was clear that he must have desperately run into the ancestral hall and picked up the tablet.
Jing Rong was relieved when he saw the tablet, and nervously wiped the smoked black smoke on the tablet, and before he could ease his breath, he heard a sharp harsh sound.
"Ahh
Mu Xuefu looked at the fire in front of him as if he was crazy, scurrying with the wind, and the gray smoke was like a demonic aura hovering in the sky, like a monster with a bloody mouth that seemed to devour everything. Such a fire, like the one ten years ago, burned half the sky, redder than the sunset. Mu Xuefu's face was pale, her eyes were red, her whole body trembled, and her whole body fell into hellish memories.
Mu Xuefu stepped back step by step, shook her head repeatedly, and stared at the flames that seemed to envelop her with wide eyes. It wasn't until an unkempt woman grabbed her that she finally couldn't suppress the fear in her heart and hugged her head and screamed.
Jing Rong was startled, ran to her side in a few steps, kicked away the crazy woman who grabbed her, hugged her into his arms, and comforted: "Don't be afraid, this king is here, and I am here." ”
The familiar embrace made her heart collapse in an instant, she clutched Jingrong's collar tightly, as if it was the last hope on the edge of the cliff of despair, Mu Xuefu burst into tears, like a pearl with a broken thread that could not be flowed endlessly. She grabbed Jingrong's collar tightly, and pleaded vaguely: "Mother, mother, don't leave me, don't leave me, I will be obedient, I will be obedient." Don't leave me, don't leave me. Fu'er is very obedient, I remember everything you say, I remember everything. ”
"I won't leave Fu'er, Fu'er don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Mu Xuefu's voice was vague, Jing Rong didn't really hear it, but she seemed to say something don't leave her. He hugged her tightly, patted her on the back gently, and coaxed, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”
"Ahh ”
Luo Xianxian was frightened by his sudden angry reprimand, and quickly covered her mouth and pointed at the crazy woman on the side.
Everyone followed her hand to look at the people on the ground, and saw that the crazy woman was giggling with a somewhat decomposed corpse in her arms, which was terrifying and weird, and made people feel creepy.
"Ahh
Jing Rong thought that Mu Xuefu was frightened because of this corpse, a mouthful of anger blocked his chest, the cold blade of a sword in his eyes, and said sharply: "Where did this dead man move from?" Who moved it? "He rarely gets angry, but when he gets angry, a random look can make people shudder.
Several of the subordinates looked at each other and shook their heads, not knowing why the dead man appeared out of thin air.
At this moment, a grizzled eunuch, whose face was so burned that he could not make out his face, replied, "It is this madman, and the servant has already caught fire in it by this time, and then I saw her come out of the ancestral hall with this corpse in her arms." ”
Jing Rong frowned, looked at the corpse, squinted his eyes, and when he saw the general appearance of the corpse, his pupils shrank sharply, and his expression changed sharply. How could it be her? How could she die in the ancestral hall? Didn't she leave King Chen's Mansion more than ten years ago?
Countless questions were intertwined in his mind, like intertwined vines, and he wanted to split and straighten out these intertwined vines with one palm, but Mu Xuefu in his arms worried him even more. No, only to put the doubts aside. He hid her in her coat, didn't let her look at the horrible thing anymore, and gently wiped the tears on her face, "It's okay, with me, don't be afraid of anything." Seeing that Mu Xuefu no longer screamed and the fire was extinguished, he said: "Come on, imprison this crazy woman, this corpse will be stored first, and then the decision will be made when the king finds out the whole story." After speaking, he picked up Mu Xuefu and left.
As soon as Jingrong left, who would stay here all restrained their horror and left one by one. Princess Xuan stroked her chest, glanced at the crazy woman who was rudely pulled away by her subordinates, and secretly glanced at Princess Yu, whose face was pale. She had been supporting Princess Yu just now, and she clearly felt that when the crazy woman appeared, Princess Yu's trembling body was like a sifting of chaff. Her mother-in-law has always regarded human life as a mustard, I don't know how many unjust souls have died in her hands, and there are many dead people she has seen, how can she be horrified by the corpse of a madman, it seems that there must be some story in this.
"Mother." Princess Xuan saw that she had been looking at the corpse in horror, so she gently called out.
Princess Yu shuddered, as if the soul that had been drained away had just come back to her senses, her eyes were at a loss and scattered, ignoring Princess Xuan, just staring at the corpse that was carried away. When the corpse left her sight, she turned her eyes, looked at the ground emptyly, and muttered in her heart: "No, no, she should have died more than ten years ago, she should have turned into a handful of bones a long time ago, how could she appear in the ancestral hall again?" Impossible, she died, I watched her die with my own eyes. But why didn't her flesh rot? ”
Jing Xuan watched Jing Rong leave with Mu Xuefu in his arms, and then reluctantly withdrew his gaze. His mind was on Mu Xuefu, and he didn't pay attention to his mother's expression at all, pursed his lips, and said lightly: "Mother, let's go back too." ”
When Princess Yu heard this, she calmed down, put away the panic, and pulled a stiff smile at the corner of her mouth, "Okay." ”
Princess Xuan supported her, her eyes fell on her hands that were constantly rubbing, and the suspicion in her heart was even worse, and her intuition told her that the corpse must have a lot to do with her mother-in-law. No, it's all about her, along with that crazy woman.
Let go of all the speculation in your heart and don't dwell on this issue first. At present, the most important thing is to deal with Mu Xuefu, just now that she is crazy, she can't care about anything, and even God helps her. She turned her head to look at Hua Mei'er and winked at her. Hua Mei'er understood, sorted out the frightened mood just now, and left the palace with her personal maid taking advantage of the chaos.
After returning to the East Courtyard, under the gentle comfort of Jing Rong, Mu Xuefu's mood gradually calmed down, and she no longer screamed and whispered. But in her mind, she kept entanglement between today's fire and the fire ten years ago, and she couldn't tell the difference between reality and memory. She tried her best to control her emotions, for fear of revealing some secrets in front of Jing Rong. But the scene ten years ago kept replaying in my mind, the brother in a pool of blood, the father who was hit by the arrow, the nurse who was hacked to death with a knife, and the mother who threw her off without looking back.
Mu Xuefu was lying on the bed, her eyes closed, a layer of delicate sweat floating on her forehead, and the whole person fell into painful memories. She gritted her teeth hard, for fear of saying one more thing that shouldn't be said in front of Jing Rong, so she tried her best to endure and use her only reason to resist, but it made her fall into an even more painful situation.
Jingrong anxiously comforted her, but saw that she seemed to be in a nightmare, no matter how she screamed, he gently wiped the thin sweat on her forehead, and kissed her lips, "Xuefu, Xuefu, I'm here, you don't have to be afraid of anything, don't be afraid." ”
As if a layer of light had been injected into his life, and the bubbling warm current filled his heart, Mu Xuefu seemed to see the last ray of light in the endless hell. The smell of his body made her familiar, his voice reassured her, and his reassurance calmed her. She was so tired from walking in the dark hell that she didn't have any energy anymore. Met his lips, entangled, his mood slowly stabilized, the memories in his mind slowly erased, only to feel that his brain was hollow, his eyelids were heavy, and after a while, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Jing Rong watched her fall asleep and didn't move, so he kept sitting on the edge of the bed and hugging her. The spring light sprinkled with a ray of golden light, which was reflected on his face, pouring the tenderness of his face on the reflection of the ground.
Mu Xuefu slept peacefully in King Chen's mansion, but she didn't know that Tuoba Xin in the palace was anxious, just now she overheard Mrs. Zhenhua coming to the emperor to complain, saying that the dream fairy is still a virgin, fake pregnancy, fake miscarriage, and deceive the king. The emperor didn't believe it at first, but Mrs. Zhenhua used the fetus in her womb as a guarantee and asked the emperor to find out about it. The emperor couldn't help but be shaken when he saw her swear so much, so he decided to recruit a fairy into the palace tomorrow to try the truth. She had just banished the starlings and delivered the news, but she didn't know if this first communication would be successful.
Not long after, a golden starling flew into the house of a wealthy family, it flew down to the branch of a willow tree, looked east and west, and still could not be sure whether this was the palace of King Chen. It waved its wings, tapped its head a few times, and became a little dejected. It's all to blame for that Tuoba Xin who smears grease and powder every day, and its nose is not sensitive, and it can't even find the owner's taste. Before I could discern it more carefully, I heard a delicate voice sound, "This bird is so good-looking, catch it for me." As soon as the words fell, the golden bird felt that something swept over the sky, and then it was detained into a cloth bag, and no matter how much it fluttered, it could not escape.
The author has something to say:
Who is the mad woman? Why did Jingrong keep her in the palace and detain her?
Who is the female corpse? Why did Princess Jingrong and Princess Yu have such a big reaction? And why is this female corpse basically not decomposing?
Mu Xuefu's virgin body was recognized, and she didn't receive the news delivered by Mrs. Ning Xin, will she avoid this crisis?
Who caught the starling?
How will the relationship between Jingrong and Mu Xuefu develop?
