701.Chapter 701: She's the Real Yue Qingying!
Looking at my shocked expression, this bhikshuni also felt a little strange, and looked at me with a slight frown: "What, do you know the poor nuns?" β
I didn't speak, just stared at her with wide eyes.
There has never been a person like her, when she appeared in front of me, set off endless waves in my heart, and also opened those dusty past events in an almost rough way, at this moment I only felt that my heart was surging, and I was almost at a loss for what to do, and I unconsciously whispered her name-
"Green ...... Baby ......"
It was like a thunderbolt, exploding from overhead.
Her eyes widened suddenly.
At this moment, both of them stopped breathing, and this bhikshuni looked at me with an expression of disbelief, and her lips trembled slightly: "You, you areβ"
ββ¦β¦β
"Light...... Surplus......? β
The atmosphere was so oppressive that my chest ached, and I stood there blankly, the oil lamp behind me flickering, and the dim light illuminated the emaciated face so dimly that it was impossible to tell whether it was in reality or in a dream.
How could it be......
The people around me slowly sat down, and a few of them were already looking at the two of us strangely, and I finally regained a trace of my senses and slowly sat down beside her.
Her stiff body was squeezed by me, but she still turned her head to look at me.
"Lightness? Is that you? β
This familiar and unfamiliar name made me shudder.
She was still looking at me, "Are you really-?" β
I suddenly didn't dare to look at her, I looked down at my bent knees, my legs trembled slightly, and in her stunned gaze, I nodded slightly.
I heard her let out a long breath, as if to open a knot in my heart, then I slowly turned my head, the eyes of both of them looked a little vicissitudes and helpless in the dim light, I think she and I have never thought of a day to see each other again, and the meeting at this moment is really like a lifetime.
Light...... Young Baby ......
Hearing these two names sound like this, even I was in a trance.
Back then, it was because these two names were too similar, so similar that they made people trance, that me, her, had the opportunity to change her fate.
As a result, she became the proud daughter of the sky in Xichuan, but the Miss Yan family who had experienced hardships.
And I became who I am today.
We thought that we could control our own lives, but we had not finished well, but we had already met unexpectedly, which made me feel helpless that he was uncertain about this life.
Yes, the story Liu Li told at the beginning was not false, but Shen Rou's accusation was wrong, I did not steal Yan Qingqing's money, and the bhikshuni in front of me was not the eldest lady of the Yan family.
She is the real Yue Qingying!
"Why are you here?"
I don't know how long it took for her and I to finally find our heartbeat and voice, and finally calm down, and she immediately asked me, and I also knew that seeing her like a world away, she had too much to ask me, and I had too much to ask her.
"What about you? At that time, didn't you say that you were going to run back and find your lover? β
Hearing my words, a faint wry smile appeared on her pale and indifferent face: "After you helped me fake my death, I did escape back, butβ"
"What's wrong?"
"The day I fled back, I happened to bump into the bride he was marrying."
I froze all at once.
I still remember, at that time I entered the palace with her, because it was the first to enter the register, so there were only two of us in the team, and because she had been crying and pitiful, I asked her with concern What happened, only to know that she was sold into the palace because her family was poor, in order to raise money for her brother to marry a daughter-in-law, and she could only be separated from her childhood sweetheart.
At that time, there was a shadow in my heart.
So, I told her about that bold plan, and although she seemed weak and weak, she was also bold and daring, and from that day on, the two of us exchanged our names.
The eunuch in charge of leading the team didn't care much about us originally, and the names of the two people were too similar, and they were both young women, so they didn't care too much about it; Later, more and more palace maids were registered, and all of them called me Qingying, and all of them called her light. She really became light, and I really became a young baby.
It was at that time that the carriage entering the palace stopped on a barren slope in the suburbs for everyone to rest, and she and I took the opportunity to implement our plan.
She escaped from the edge of the cliff, leaving behind a bloody dress, and Yan Qingqing's disappearance became an unsolved case, and in order to hide people's eyes, the case was quickly closed.
And I, I have a new identity above board, and I can wait for the amnesty in the harem five years later, and be reborn!
But I didn't expect that a qiΔ was not as good as I wanted.
Her childhood sweetheart's lover actually married within a few months of her departure?
I looked at her emaciated face, maybe because of the life of the ancient Buddha and green lantern over the years, she didn't have too many expressions, except for the surprise when she was reunited, and now she has calmed down, and said slowly: "I didn't ask, and I didn't want to ask, I just felt that I was too ridiculous." β
ββ¦β¦β
"Who knows that when you go home, you know that you are really ridiculous."
"Why?"
"My father and mother used the money I sold into the palace to marry my brother's daughter-in-law, and the family's consumption was even more, and I fled back, afraid of being seen, and I couldn't go out to work, so I added a mouth to eat in vain."
"......" I immediately understood.
"So, you're a monk?"
She smiled bitterly: "By that time, people have already died once, what else can't be seen?" β
My voice was a little strangely choked: "I didn't expect this." β
"yes. I couldn't have imagined that, people, would be like this. β
The kind of painful wound in her eyes, I can fully understand, it is no matter how much you eat fasting and chanting Buddha, you can't get rid of it, so I can only divert the topic and ask: "Then how can you - I heard the eldest princess say that you were a few years ago - "
"Dead, right?" She smiled indifferently: "I was indeed seriously ill three years ago, and I really almost died." At that time, Mrs. Jing Chang had been taking care of meβoh, she was the mother of the eldest princess. I thought I wouldn't survive, you know, people are going to die-"
What did I understand: "You told her what happened back then?" β
"I originally thought that there would be an amnesty in the palace every five years, and you should leave the palace no matter what, even if I said it, Mrs. Jingchang would say it, and it would be impossible for it to spread to the palace. Who knows, she turned out to be the concubine of the emperor. Mrs. Jingchang was in Huangze Temple, although the abbot was very polite to her, and often had a rich daughter come to see her, but no one thought about it elsewhere, and it was only later that she told me. She said, looking up at me, "How could you be?" I heard the eldest princess say, you also gave birth to a daughter for the emperor? β
I said lightly, "Hmm." β
"And you're nowβ"
"I don't want to talk about those things anymore."
Compared to her, she can tell the past that hurt her so lightly, but I can't say a word, she seems to understand, and purses her mouth silently.
After a moment of silence, I turned my head again: "Qingying, you-"
"You don't have to call it that." She smiled faintly: "I don't know who it's called." Poor Nifa is silent. β
"Silent Void ......" I muttered these two words, obviously it was the Dharma name of an ordinary bhikshuni, but after listening to her story and reciting her Dharma name, I only felt full of sadness, and the corners of my eyes were a little hot: "Then why are you here here now?" β
"I was entrusted by Master Jingchang to find someone."
"Master Jingchang?" Isn't that Zhao Shuyuan? Who is she looking for?
"In fact, it has been more than a year since the poor nuns left Huangze Temple. Although the eldest princess often visits her mother in Huangze Temple, after all, she can only come here a few times a year. Last year, she had a serious illness, and during the illness, she suddenly told the poor nun that she wanted the poor nun to help her find someone. And at that time, the eldest princess's people suddenly rushed to Huangze Temple and asked the poor nun to leave immediately. β
"......" I raised my eyebrows, and immediately remembered that it should be at the state banquet, when the eldest princess said her "identity".
Although she used Jingxu to help me out of the siege, it was hard to guarantee that no one would really go to Huangze Temple to investigate, so she naturally had to take care of Huangze Temple. In fact, if you follow the practice of the officialdom, you are only afraid that Jingxu's life will not be guaranteed, but the eldest princess is kind-hearted and unwilling to kill innocents indiscriminately, so she sent someone to drive Jingxu away.
It also saved her life.
Hearing this, I actually breathed a sigh of relief, thinking back to Pei Yuanzhen, who was still cold and ruthless in the snow, and there was a trace of warmth in my heart.
In spite of...... No matter what lies between me and her, she is a good girl after all.
A good girl worthy of anyone......
As soon as I thought of this, my eyes unconsciously surged with a hot current, and even Jingxu saw something, and looked at me suspiciously: "What's wrong with you?" β
"No, it's fine."
As she said this, the choked voice was already obvious, and she looked at me quietly, and didn't say anything, but there was a look of understanding in her cold eyes.
So, there was silence.
I don't know how long it took before I barely calmed down and raised my head: "By the way, you just said that Zhao-Jingchang asked you to help her find someone, who are you looking for?" β
"Uh......"
There was a hint of hesitation on Jingxu's face, and I immediately realized what I was worried about, so I smiled faintly: "If you don't want to say it, forget it." β
She was silent for a while and said, "Actually, it's not that I don't want to say it. There is nothing to hide from you. β
"Oh."
"It's justβ" Her brows tightened, she hesitated for a long time, and said in a strange tone, "Mrs. Jingchang, it's Shuyuan Niangniang, she has a son, right?" β
"Hmm." I nodded, also a little sad: "I died when I was in the capital. β
"Oh......"
I didn't think it was right, so I turned my head and looked at her strangely: "Why are you asking this?" β
