Chapter Thirty-Eight: Flowers Fall into Mud
"Alas, what is this!" Su Xiao was inexplicable, saw that Yuhua was still standing in place, and asked, "Why don't you leave?"
"It's a good place, and I thought I wanted to stay. ”
In fact, Yuhua just wanted to tease Su Xiao, but he didn't expect to touch his nose, and Su Xiao's voice was a little cold: "Whatever you want." Then he went back to the house to rest.
Yuhua saw that he was not interested, so he left, in fact, what Yuhua didn't know was that Su Xiao opened the door and secretly looked at Yuhua, and after seeing Yuhua leave, Su Xiao muttered to himself and laughed at himself: "You and I will not have results, you are a god, I am a human, this heart that throbs for you can only be sealed in the dust." ”
In the days to come, Su Xiao felt how ridiculous his thoughts were at this time, and the moment his heart moved, he was already doomed.
On the second day, Su Xiao sat in the corridor of the Pure Heart Courtyard, and read in her mouth: "On the first day that Taoxin left, I missed her and missed her." ”
Lianyue, who was cleaning the yard, asked, "Su Xiao, who is this peach heart?"
Of course, I can't let people know about the peach heart, Su Xiao smiled awkwardly and said: "It's the peach, it was given by the emperor a few days ago, and now it's finished." ”
"Ahh
"Xiaoxiao, your life is really good, the emperor not only gave peaches, but also eliminated the status of slaves, and now you are respected as a guest, I really envy you. Although Linlang said that she was envious, she was still a little jealous in her heart, after all, Linlang had been in the palace for two years, and she was more senior than Su Xiao, but now she has no chance of being promoted to the aunt in charge.
"Who made me really lucky. Su Xiao showed a look, causing the peach blossom petals on the ground to smash at her.
Linlang looked at the peach blossom petals that suddenly fell last night and said, "Why did all the peach blossoms that had been blooming for ten years wither last night?"
"I don't know, I only saw it this morning. Su Xiao spread his hands and pretended not to know anything.
"You said that the peach blossoms will fall, what does Grandpa Lin have to do for the two of us to clean up. Retsuki began to complain again.
Su Xiao snickered, in fact, cleaning was not what Lin Quan meant, when he came in the morning, he just announced the will to eliminate slaves, Su Xiao was just too lazy to clean the courtyard by himself, so he borrowed Lin Quan's mouth.
"It's a pity that the peach blossoms all over the ground are a pity. Linlang said.
"Flowers fall into dust and mud and crush dust, this is no way, even if it blooms for a long time, it will always wither, and the flower has no hundred days of red is this principle. ”
"Well said. There was a sound of applause outside, and this voice naturally came from the mouth of this increasingly unreliable emperor.
"The people's daughters (slaves) see the emperor. Seeing the emperor, Linlang's whole eyes lit up.
"No need to be polite. Murong Yan flicked his hand and motioned for the three of them to get up, and asked Su Xiao again: "Who did what you just said about the flowers falling into dust and grinding into dust? ”
"Why doesn't the emperor want this to be done by the people's daughter?"
"Obviously, you don't have the skills. "Murong Yan is really angry when he speaks now, and he can't pay for his life.
"Back to the emperor, this is what the folk girl saw in a book, and the book is gone. Su Xiao smiled an embarrassed but polite smile to hide that she wanted to hit someone.
"Don't go all day long, I still know a little bit about your temperament. After speaking, he coughed twice and gave Lin Quan a look, and Lin Quan understood: "You two go down, and continue to clean up in the afternoon." ”
Linlang and Liyue left the Pure Heart Courtyard, and before leaving, Linlang glanced at Murong Yan reluctantly.
"Linlang, do you think Su Xiao will become the emperor's woman?" asked Linlang after Lianyue walked out of the Pure Heart Courtyard.
Linlang's face darkened when she heard this, and she said, "No." ”
"Why? This emperor is really good to Su Xiao, even the queen mother. Retsuki continued.
Linlang didn't answer this time, her face was calm, her heart was sour, she shook off the pity moon that was holding her, and walked away quickly without looking back.
Lianyue muttered inexplicably in the same place: "What kind of illness is this?" followed Linlang and returned to the Huanyi Bureau together.
After Lian Yue and Linlang left in the Pure Heart Courtyard, Lin Quan was also supported to guard the door, and only Murong Yan and Su Xiao were left in the courtyard.
"The emperor retreated left and right, I don't know what advice he has?" asked Su Xiao with a strange smile.
"I'm still angry about what I just did, it's just a joke, I have something serious to ask you. Murong Yan saw that there was no one in private now, and the appearance of Fang Cai was really different.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Is this Mo Yan leaving?" Murong Yan didn't beat around the bush, and asked Mo Yan straightforwardly when he came up.
Su Xiao's expression trembled, thinking that he was really the emperor and smart, Su Xiao said, "Indeed." But how did you find out?"
"Today, Lin Quan said that the peach blossoms in the Pure Heart Courtyard fell to the ground, plus the incident of seeing Yuhua in the Jingxin Nunnery that day, if you think about it, you will know what you have been busy with these days. Murong Yan had a smug look on his face.
Su Xiao sneered and said regretfully: "Time is humane, but what's wrong with this red face, it's just an excuse for a man to make an excuse for his lustful uprising." ”
Murong Yan was not angry at Su Xiao's disrespectful remarks, this is the case, there is nothing to defend, and he continued to ask: "Did you see Mo Yan last night?"
Su Xiao nodded, looking sad.
"Is it Yuhua's hand?What about Ci'an?" Murong Yan then remembered that there was one less person in the courtyard, and that was Ci'an who Su Xiao brought into the palace that day.
"Ci'an is gone. ”
"Mo is not ......" Murong Yan thought that Mo Yan had avenged it with his own hands.
Su Xiao guessed what Murong Yan wanted to say, shook his head, and said, "It's not Mo Yan, Ci'an committed suicide, because he was too tired because he had been burdened with guilt for ten years." And Mo Yan is a wisp of ghost that was derived for hatred, but after losing the support of hatred, it has also disappeared. ”
"The world changes for free, that's what it says. Murong Yan couldn't stop sighing, and then summoned Lin Quan and announced his will: "Lin Quan, you go and announce the decree, from today onwards, abolish the decree that the cultivation sister-in-law is not allowed to enter the palace, and also, the meditation nunnery Ci'an Shitai died of illness in the Pure Heart Courtyard yesterday, and asked to be cremated before leaving. ”
"Yes. Lin Quan immediately went to the Sixth Palace with the will.
"Why do you want to be buried in the concubine's mausoleum?" Su Xiao was puzzled.
"Ci'an was the sister of General Xiao before her death, and she was the first queen, but she was relegated to the cold palace and became a nun again, and it was not easy to be buried in the concubine's mausoleum. ”
"Etiquette is rigid, intolerable, and helpless. Although Su Xiao knew that Ci'an was not the queen of heaven and had not died, the relationship between the three of them was still circulating in front of him, and all the things were just that she loved him, but he loved her and caused trouble, Su Xiao secretly smiled bitterly, seven emotions and six desires are really burdensome, no wonder you have to give up these when you become an immortal and enter the Tao.
"Don't think about it, you should be happy that the matter is settled now. Murong Yan comforted Su Xiao.
"Definitely. By the way, I'd like to visit the temple again. Su Xiao remembered compassion, wanted to go and see her, and had a heart.
Murong Yan didn't object this time, but just instructed: "Go if you want, go out of the palace with the gold medal order arrow, and give you a few more guards." ”
"Well, okay. Don't worry, I'll be back in half a month at most. ”
"Waiting for you. Murong Yan's two words gave Su Xiao enough face, after all, it was never before for an emperor to wait for a woman in the whole world.
Three days at the gate of the harem
"Tell me about you, on this cold day, you still have to run out. "Liyue and Linlang are bidding farewell to Su Xiao at the gate of the palace.
"Okay, okay, let's go back quickly, it's not that I won't come back. Su Xiao smiled angrily, I told them last night, don't send it, don't listen to persuasion, or get up early in the morning to send it.
"Xiaoxiao, it's cold on the mountain, this is the cloak I sewed for you, the stitches are rough, don't dislike it. Linlang took the cloak that she had worked on all night and gave it to Su Xiao.
Su Xiao put on the cloak, the same color as Yuhua's, that is, the fabric and workmanship are a little far apart, and the ingenuity is that the cloak has a medicinal fragrance, Su Xiao said movingly: "How can this cloak have a medicinal fragrance?"
"There are a lot of cold insects on the mountain, so I asked the Tai Hospital to get some herbs to dispel cold and insects, make them into sachets, and stuff them on the edge of the cloak. ”
At this time, Su Xiao regained Linlang's friendship, stepped forward to hold Linlang's hand and said, "Thank you, Linlang, I like it very much." ”
"Then you have to come back quickly. "The moon is reluctant.
"Got it. Go back, I should go too. Su Xiao said goodbye to Linlang and Liyue and got into the carriage to Jingxin Nunnery, this time I don't know what will happen.
The time to arrive at the meditation nunnery was almost in the afternoon, and Su Xiao finally went up the mountain to the gate of the meditation nunnery, but saw that there were many people around the gate of the meditation nunnery, which was very lively.
"Oh, I'm really miserable, this adopted daughter is like this, what face do I have to live in this world!" a woman sat on the stone steps at the entrance of the meditation nunnery and wept incessantly, and compassion stood beside the woman.
Although Su Xiao was puzzled, it was inevitably not good, and he ordered the guards to disperse the crowd, and then stepped forward to ask Cixin: "Who is this?"
"She's my mother. The look of compassion was cold.
Su Xiao saw that it was rare for Cixin to show such an emotional appearance, and became interested again, and asked the woman: "Since you are the mother of the little master, why are you sitting on the stone steps, the weather is cold now, if it is cold, it is not good, help people to the backyard to rest." ”
"Yes. "Because Murong Yan had greeted her in advance, these sisters-in-law all knew Su Xiao's identity, and it was definitely not easy for a woman who could be honored as a guest by the current saint.
However, when Cixin saw that Su Xiao was about to get people in, he was about to have a seizure, and looked at Su Xiao in puzzlement, while the latter quietly grabbed Cixin's arm and gave a hint.
