200: Atonement
Ling Wushuang grabbed Xuanyuan Mo's hand tightly, and comforted him softly, "Mo, I trust your intuition. However, for now, we should get rid of those flies first, and then go to the bamboo hut to find out. Xuanyuan Mo covered his mouth with his hand and nodded "um".
Immediately afterward, he raised his breath and jumped towards the dozens of strong men, and with a wave of his sleeves, those strong men suddenly turned into dust and disappeared.
They did not even utter a single cry of pain, and left this world silently.
For those strong men, Ling Wushuang did not have a trace of sympathy, although they were innocent, but, in the final analysis, they were the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they were also Prime Minister Ke's minions!
Losing their lives, that's their fate, and they can't blame others!
If you really want to complain, you can only blame them for following the wrong master.
Seeing Xuanyuan Mo gesturing to her, Ling Wushuang tapped his toes and floated to Xuanyuan Mo's side.
"Cen Er, after drinking this bowl of chicken soup, you will be relieved!" Qiao Shi was in tears, his hands were trembling, holding a bowl of still steaming thick soup, and he arrived in front of Ke Meicen's bamboo couch, "Don't be afraid, my mother will not let you go on the road alone, in this life, my mother owes you a lot, how can my mother bear it, how can I bear to watch you go to that cold place alone!" ”
The woman stood on the side of the bamboo couch, and when she heard Qiao's words, she shook her head and opened her mouth to make a continuous "babbling ......" sound.
"Xiuzhu, I don't want to do this to Cen Er, but what can I do?" Qiao Shi looked at the woman with tears in her eyes, and there was endless sadness in her voice, "The queen wants Cen Er to die, who of us can disobey her will?" The old man really had no choice, so he had to listen to the queen's words and let Cen Er lose his life. Qiao Shi burst into tears, but the woman still shook her head and said with tears in her ......eyes.
Qiao Shi put the soup bowl on the bamboo table beside Ke Meicen, raised his sleeve and wiped it at the corner of his eye, and turned to the woman: "Xiuzhu, what happened at the beginning, let a few of you girls suffer with it, it is all my sin!" If I try my best to stop Wei'er's idea, I won't hurt the four of you, and there is also Cen Er's nurse who died, and the crippled ......, now, now everything is going to end, I, I ......" Qiao Shi wanted to say sorry to the woman, but she couldn't open her mouth, after all, she is the master, the woman is a servant, since ancient times, even if the master is wrong, there is no reason to admit his mistake to a slave and apologize.
The woman "babbled...... and shook her head.
What happened to her back then, she did not complain, nor hate.
She is a girl, a girl who serves her master, and when her master suffers, she has to suffer with her.
However, she resents her master and hates her master. She hated the second lady who seemed to be kind and lovely, but had a deep heart; She hates everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion even more.
Because of them, her master suffered so much injustice.
"Cen Er, come and take a sip, drink it, and you won't be in pain anymore!" Qiao Shi blamed himself for a while, turned around and picked up the soup bowl on the low table, scooped a small spoonful, and prepared to feed it into Ke Meizen's mouth, "Your heart is so ruthless! The sudden woman's voice startled the soup bowl and spoon in Qiao's hand and fell to the ground.
The chicken soup that was poured on the ground seeped into the soil in an instant.
"You, who are you?" Qiao's face turned pale, and she stood up and looked at the woman standing in the doorway.
Although the dress on the woman's body is tattered, this does not affect her beauty.
Why did she think this woman was so familiar?
Ling Wushuang's red lips pursed slightly, she didn't answer Qiao's question, but stepped forward, bent down to pick up the soup bowl on the ground, put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it lightly, when she landed, her face changed, she straightened her waist, faced Qiao's, and said coldly: "Is this what a mother should do?" Ling Wushuang put the soup bowl on the low table, "Allure tears, you actually shed tears for your daughter?" ”
"Alluring tears" is particularly toxic, and the perpetrator only needs to put a little bit of it into the meal or soup to take people's lives. Poisonous drugs like this mostly appear in the backyards of large households.
In order to fight*, if there is a little means, which one does not prepare a copy for himself?
"You, you ......" The corners of Qiao's lips trembled, he retreated again and again, fell on the bamboo couch, and was dumb for a while, not knowing how to defend himself, "Do you want to ask me how I know this medicine, yes or no?" Ling Wushuang approached Qiao's, "Although this medicine is expensive, and it is not something that ordinary people can know about buying, but since it can appear in your hands, why can't I tell it?" ”
Xuanyuan Mo stood outside the bamboo door and did not enter the house with Ling Wushuang.
was about to see his mother, and he had a strong surprise in his heart, but also a panic.
The mother concubine who has been calling in his dreams for many years, the mother concubine who has not been found for many years, as long as he steps through this door, he can see it immediately. But his legs were filled with lead, but he could not take a step.
He was afraid, afraid of what he saw. Therefore, he was terrified, and his heart went up and down.
He was afraid that what he saw would make him angry and destroy all living beings in this heaven and earth.
The old palace maid, the nurse who was brought back to the Qinglian courtyard by the ice and cold, and the woman he met by the stream just now, they were all miserable, and he couldn't help but think about the bad things.
What to do? Is he going in? Do you want it?
With his hands hanging at his sides, clenched into fists, Xuanyuan Mo hesitated whether he wanted to take this step.
Qiao Shi remembered and remembered who the beautiful woman standing in front of her was. She trembled and asked tentatively, "You, are you Princess Lu?" At the palace banquet, she had seen this woman, but she didn't expect her to appear here, and Qiao's heart was cold. Ling Wushuang chuckled, "It turns out that the Prime Minister's wife knows this princess?" ”
Without waiting for Qiao's words to answer, a smile appeared on Ling Wushuang's face, and he continued: "For your own selfish interests, you have to do such a hurtful thing, aren't you afraid of five thunderstorms from the sky?" Speaking of this, Ling Wushuang shook his head, and there was ridicule in his voice, "Oh, this princess is wrong, you should not be afraid of taking that evil step back then, otherwise you would still be alive and well so far." However, you shouldn't, you shouldn't be cruel to my prince repeatedly, and in the end, you are afraid that the matter will be revealed, and you want to get rid of my prince's mother! ”
Xuanyuan Mo finally stepped into the house, but his eyes did not look at the woman sitting on the bamboo couch, but looked at Qiao's and said coldly: "You say, what should this king do to you?" ”
At this moment, the air in the room suddenly condensed!
Qiao couldn't believe what he was seeing. King Lu and King Qi look almost identical, when she took the car out of the Prime Minister's Mansion that day, she heard the people on the street talk to each other, he is King Lu? Qiao Shi got up and walked two steps towards Xuanyuan Mo with difficulty, "Child! Qiao's voice was full of pain, "Child, it's good that you're okay!" Over the years, both mother and son have suffered! She stared at Xuanyuan Mo and stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to touch his face through the sunlight shining into the bamboo house, "Your face is fine, you are not stupid, you ......"
"Enough!" Xuanyuan Mo roared in a deep voice: "What qualifications do you have to say these words to this king? Who are you of this king? Yes? Put away your hypocrisy, this king doesn't need it! "The nightmare memories of my childhood were once again bloodily revealed, can Xuanyuan Mo not hate it? He was a little one, and he was put down by the queen, and every time the moon was full, he suffered from the pain of eroding bones; Then the dormitory caught fire, so much so that he had to cover his face with a mask and pretend to be stupid. At that time, did anyone care about him? No, not a single one!
The other brothers are protected by their mothers, but he doesn't!
He is an unidentified prince, a down-and-out prince who is not liked by his father and is not treated by his brothers, and he is a fool who is bullied by others!
Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Mo's heart was painful.
"Babbling ......"
"Mother!" Ling Wushuang had only been scolding Qiao Shi since he first entered the house, and he had not set his eyes on the woman on the bamboo couch, and when he heard a babbling sound that was different from the woman, he raised his eyes and looked over, and his eyes were sour. She felt that she only wanted to kill people at the moment, even if she tried her life, she had to kill those unrighteous villains in the Prime Minister's Mansion!
The woman sitting on the bamboo couch looks exactly like the queen, no, it should be said that she is more delicate than the queen. However, but her hair was white, her wide-open eyes did not have a trace of brilliance, and the whole person was like a soulless rag doll, holding a soft pillow in her arms and coaxing softly, the babbling sound from her mouth turned out to be "Good baby, don't be afraid, my mother is here......" This is the mother concubine who gave birth to a stupid big man, Ling Wushuang looked at it, and the tears in her eyes couldn't help but fall.
Xuanyuan Mo heard Ling Wushuang's voice, and his gaze moved from Qiao's body to the direction of the bamboo couch.
Suddenly, his heart tingled as if he had fallen into a valley of ice, and his whole body trembled.
He raised his head to keep the moisture from his eyes welling up, as if this was the only way to suppress the grief in his heart.
Mother, the woman with white hair, can't speak, and stupid is his mother? How does this make him accept? Grief, hatred, and pain engulfed his heart like flames, incinerating all his senses to ashes in an instant, and he turned to Qiao Shi and shouted, "For what? Why do you do this to her? Tell me, what exactly is this for? ”
The tears in Qiao's eyes never stopped, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she trembled and didn't know how to explain to the tall man in front of her who questioned her.
"You can't tell, can you? Ha Lu Ha! Xuanyuan Mo laughed out loud, like a demon king, "You can't tell it?" You can't even tell? I don't think you know where to start, it's true, right? Retracting the laughter, Xuanyuan Mo's murderous aura overflowed, and immediately the wind in the bamboo house suddenly rose, "I want you to die!" You don't deserve to be a mother! You don't deserve it! "The ink hair is flying, and the abuse is on display.
"Ahh As if feeling something, Ke Meicen screamed in fright, huddled together with the soft pillow in his arms, "Don't be afraid, concubine, he is Mo, his son, he wants to avenge you, don't be afraid!" Ling Wushuang comforted the white-haired woman on the couch, this is the stupid big mother, that is, her mother, from now on, she will treat this hard-working woman like her own mother.
Clinker, Ling Wushuang's persuasion made Ke Meicen even more frightened, she hugged the soft pillow in her arms, and let out a frightened sound again.
"Mother, don't you want Mo to avenge you? Isn't it? If yes, you nodded. Ling Wushuang asked out loud, and the frightened voices that sounded one after another answered her.
She knows that the affection of flesh and blood does exist for people who value love and righteousness.
"I want you to die!" Xuanyuan Mo's palm was raised, and he was killed, wanting to hit Qiao's body, "Mo, stop!" Ling Wushuang walked towards Xuanyuan Mo and stopped beside him, "The mother concubine doesn't want you to hurt her!" Ling Wushuang said that she was referring to the Qiao family, but now that he was a demon, how could he listen to Ling Wushuang's words.
Ling Wushuang was stunned, she had never seen such a strange Xuanyuan Mo.
So sad, so confused, so angry.
She stared at him.
staring at him who was bullied, only to know that he was holding his head and crying.
Staring at him in an ink shirt with his hands in his hands, he was evil and wanton.
Gazing at him sitting in the air, stroking the piano in the lotus pond, elegant and warm.
Staring at the dungeon of King Li's Mansion, he was domineering and awe-inspiring.
At this moment, he is a stranger, he has turned into a demon, as if he wants to destroy the world.
"Mo, no! If you really make a move, the mother concubine is afraid that it is, I am afraid that it will be painful! Ling Wushuang tried to exchange for Xuanyuan Mo's mind.
Qiao's is damned, and she can't wait to finish Qiao's with one palm. But she couldn't do that, and he couldn't do that.
It's just because of their mother concubine that they don't want Qiao's life to die.
Qiao Shi fell to the ground, and she didn't even have the strength to cry. The daughter who was deeply hurt by her and suffered by their family couldn't bear to watch her die.
She is unworthy of being a mother, unworthy!
Xuanyuan Mo hesitated in his heart, he seemed to have heard the persuasion of his lover and persuaded him not to make a move. However, what about the hatred and pain in his heart? He slowly raised his hand, trying to cover Qiao's head.
"Mother!" Just when Xuanyuan Mo's big palm was about to cover the top of Qiao's head, an unexpected scene happened. Ke Meicen hugged the soft pillow in his arms, got on the bamboo couch barefoot, and threw himself on Qiao's body, Ling Wushuang screamed, his figure quickly jumped to Qiao's side, lifted his true qi, and pulled the two people on the ground away.
It's so hanging, it's really hanging!
If it weren't for her quick eyes and quick hands, she would have taken Qiao's mother and daughter away together, and the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Ling Wushuang was afraid for a while.
In order to carry Ke Meichen and Qiao's away, and the incident happened suddenly, she only felt weak at this time, and sat on the ground softly, "Shuang'er! Xuanyuan Mo finally came back to his senses from his stunnedness, he panicked, hurriedly walked to Ling Wushuang's side, picked her up, and gently put her on the bamboo couch, "You, you're okay, right?" Ling Wushuang smiled slightly and shook his head, "I'm fine, go quickly, go and see if the concubine is injured!" ”
"Hmm!" Xuanyuan Mo nodded with worry in his eyes, and nodded in annoyance, almost, almost, his lover and child died under his palm, why is he such a bastard?
When the woman saw Ke Meizen rushing towards the bamboo couch and pounced on Qiao's body, she was already paralyzed to the ground in fright.
"Babbling ......" she saw Ke Meicen lying on the ground looking for things everywhere, regardless of wiping the tears on her face, she hurriedly picked up the soft pillow that fell beside her, got up and handed it to Ke Meicen, "babbling ......" Ke Meicen smiled, she had to smile, very beautiful, very gentle, she held the soft pillow in her arms, patted gently, and babbled from time to time in her mouth.
Xuanyuan Mo stood quietly in front of Ke Meicen, watching her hug the soft pillow and coax softly.
He understood that in her heart, it was not a soft pillow, but him, a child like him. He shouldn't hesitate, he shouldn't think about what he doesn't have, no matter what his mother becomes, she is still his mother, and he should hate those wicked people who have mutilated her to such a situation!
Suddenly, he couldn't hold back his tears.
If it is said that the heartache he felt outside the bamboo house was because he sensed that his mother was in danger. Then the tears that will flow down his face are the suffering he suffered for his mother, and the pain that was born is constantly eroding his heart, so that the tears in his eyes can't be stopped.
"Mother, the child will take you away, take you out of here!"
Ke Meichen was very quiet, she didn't struggle, and she was so quietly supported by Xuanyuan Mo to stand up with the soft pillow in her arms.
"Child, please promise me, don't hurt your uncle and them, they are also forced to do the wrong things of the year, please promise me, okay?" Qiao Shi lay on the ground, raised his head, and looked at Xuanyuan Mo's eyes, full of pleading.
"For the sake of the mother-daughter relationship between you and my mother, I spared your life today, you are not satisfied, and you still want to intercede for others, are you so bullied by me? Or shouldn't they pay for what they did in the first place? By the way, Prime Minister Ke Cheng can only lie on * and be served by his subordinates now, do you think I am kind enough to him? The words that were neither light nor heavy, not hurried or slow, heard in Qiao's ears, and suddenly made her whole heart as uncomfortable as a needle prick.
"That's it, that's it! You don't think I said it! Qiao's voice was hoarse, and he whispered, lowering his head and saying no more.
There is a cause and there is an effect, she should have known the Tao a long time ago, why did she make a statement to embarrass that child?
Even if that child should not ask her not to go to the trouble of the Prime Minister's Mansion, what about the emperor today?
If he knew the truth about what happened back then, would he be able to spare hundreds of lives in the Prime Minister's Mansion?
Everything is a fate, it's a fate!
In the interval between Qiao Shi and Xuanyuan Mo, Ling Wushuang quietly walked out of the bamboo hut and beckoned the woman he saw by the stream to follow him outside.
She wants Gao to understand the truth of what happened back then.
The woman found out what she said, Ling Wushuang could understand, while crying, she choked up and babbled with Ling Wushuang about the events of the year, the more Ling Wushuang listened, the more gloomy her face became, she couldn't wait to rush back to the capital immediately, scrape the queen alive, and even more eager to hold a sharp knife and gouge out Emperor Yongjia's eyes.
The lover who made a promise to stay with him for a lifetime can't tell the truth from the false, how can he talk about infatuation and deep love?
"Shuang'er, let's go!" Xuanyuan Mo walked out of the bamboo house with Ke Meicen on his back and said to Ling Wushuang.
"Hmm."
Ling Wushuang responded, summoned the woman to follow behind Xuanyuan Mo, and walked towards the valley mouth that had been guarded by all the strong men before.
"Cen Er, my mother can't stand you, my mother has no face to live in this world anymore, my mother knows that even if my mother dies, I can't repay the sins I committed against you. However, my mother still wants to say to you, forgive my mother, forgive my mother for being confused for a while...... Suddenly, Qiao's mournful voice came from the bamboo house, and then a smell of things being burned blew with the wind.
"Ahh
Ke Meicen screamed and covered his head, about to slide down from Xuanyuan Mo's back, Xuanyuan Mo paused, and turned his head in unison with Ling Wushuang to look in the direction of the bamboo house.
"You, what are you going to do?" Ling Wushuang didn't expect that, no, it should be said that she had a premonition about Qiao's death, but she didn't expect Qiao's to choose such a way to end her life, when she was about to turn around and call Xuanyuan Mo to go, she found that the woman walking beside her ran towards the bamboo house that was on fire, she shouted, the woman didn't seem to hear, and just ran towards the bamboo house.
Ling Wushuang was angry, and he used light skills to block the woman's way, "What are you going to do?" ”
The woman said a few words to Ling Wushuang ......with tears in her eyes, and then glanced at Xuanyuan Mo's back, and finally a look of determination flashed in her eyes, and she wanted to run towards the bamboo house again, Ling Wushuang was furious, "You stand still!" Did me and the prince just make you unbelievable? The woman was afraid that the queen would suspect that her master was not dead when she found only one body in the bamboo house, so she decided to bury her master in the fire with Qiao's family, so as to give her master a chance to live.
"Go, follow me, Queen, you don't have to worry. Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about it! If you owe the mother, I and the prince will get it back one by one! As he spoke, Ling Wushuang grabbed the woman's arm and said to Xuanyuan Mo: "She died to atone for her sins, maybe it is also a relief for her!" ”
In fact, the real object of Ling Wushuang's words is Ke Meicen on Xuanyuan Mo's back.
From Ke Meichen's nervousness about Qiao's life, she guessed that Ke Meicen might not be really stupid, but just stuck in her own world and unwilling to face some cruel things.
In modern parlance, she suffers from a disease, a disease that closes herself off from an alien consciousness.
After a long time, Xuanyuan Mo muttered: "Let's go!" ”
Ling Wushuang nodded "um" and beckoned the woman to follow and walked towards the exit.
"Let's go back to the palace like this, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?" Ling Wushuang glanced at Xuanyuan Mo's back and said with some concern.
"The mother concubine was ordered by me to fall asleep, will she wake up for a while and a half, let's go to the other courtyard first, you and Qu Lao will check the body of the mother concubine together, as for taking the mother back to the palace, this matter needs to be discussed in the long run!" Xuanyuan Mo frowned and thought for a moment, then raised his eyes and replied to Ling Wushuang.
"Listen to you."
Qinglian Annex, in the main house of Qingyang County.
"It's been a night, and I haven't seen the master and the prince come back, why don't we go to the valley near the Fallen Soul Cliff to find them?" Qingying hung her head and walked a few steps in the house, turning to Snow Shadow, Phantom, and Flower Shadow, asking for their opinions, "Don't, Sister Shuang'er, don't!" The voice of the county lord of Qingyang suddenly sounded in the house.
"The county lord is awake!" Xue Ying walked to the main couch of Qingyang County and said to Qingying: "If you really can't sit still, go to the Phantom and Huaying to ask Senior Qu about the situation, I believe that he has already sent someone to find the master and the prince!" ”
