Chapter 18 - Inability to Die or Live
At night, the wind was a little strong, blowing the leaves shivering, and a few fallen leaves blew in through the window and landed on the bamboo slips that had not been closed. The bean-sized flame on the oil lamp shook violently, and then went out. The little maid who was waiting outside hurriedly came in and re-lit the lamp, closed the window, and then quietly withdrew.
Wu Yi and I sat opposite each other in the room, and in front of us was a game of Go.
"Why did Your Highness bring me to such a place?" I placed a sunspot in the star position, listening to the ambiguous voice outside, and I couldn't help but have a trace of shame and chagrin on my face.
"Someone is following, I can't go back to the Star Garden, so naturally I can only take refuge here for a while. He looked at me with an eyebrow and smiled a little, "What? You haven't been to this kind of place before?"
A trace of anger rose in my heart, and I frowned: "I have stayed in the palace since I was born, how could I have come to such a desolate place?"
"Obscenity?" Wu Yi sneered, he lifted my chin with the fan in his hand, and his eyes were indifferent: "Men and women love each other, and each takes what he needs, what is the absurdity? Besides, you are my person now, as long as I want, you must also do such 'absurd' things." Remember, people are just a few specimens of dust in the turbid world, and no one is truly clean. ”
He spoke very seriously, and I knew he wasn't joking with me.
Since someone was following, Wu Yi and I got out of the car at the back door of the "Qinxiang Pavilion". An Shun drove the carriage back to the Star Garden, and I was dragged here by Wu Yi to take refuge with him in the "Qinxiang Pavilion" for one night.
"Qinxiang Pavilion" is a well-known brothel in Xianyang, and most of the women in the hall are homeless women after the fall of the Six Kingdoms. These women were described as beautiful and had their own strengths, and soon attracted many guests to the "Qinxiang Pavilion", and many princes and grandsons of Xianyang City liked to come here to eat, drink and have fun.
Obviously, Wu Yi is one of these regulars. The bustard's mother was very enthusiastic when she saw him, and called several good-looking girls for him one after another. Later, when he saw that he was still with me, he sent the girls away again, and arranged for him a very splendid room.
Wu Yi was already indifferent to me, so naturally he wouldn't touch me. He sent out all the maids in the room who were in the room and asked me to play chess with him.
"I didn't think you could actually play chess. Wu Yi ate one of my seeds, and said lazily: "And it's quite good." ”
"It's because of the help of the masters, his chess skills are outstanding. "I still play chess with my head down.
"Oh, who's who? Is it big brother?"
"How can it be? I only have a few acquaintances with His Royal Highness Fusu, and I haven't said a few words, let alone taught me to play chess. My voice was slightly bitter and said, "That person is just a musician in the Afang Palace, but he is gone now." ”
"Musician?" Wu Yi threw the chess pieces back into the chess box, held the folding fan in his left hand and tapped it on his chin a few times, he asked, "This musician is the person you admire?"
I lowered my eyes and nodded slightly.
"Then I really want to meet this musician. Wu Yi said lazily, and then lay down on his side on the ground covered with sheepskin felt. He stared at me, a seductive fox with a hint of playfulness and inquiry in his eyes.
Seeing a little empty by his meaningful eyes, I lowered my head and put all the pieces on the chessboard into the chessboard, then got up and said, "I'll go and get a blanket for Your Highness." ”
"No need. He reached out and grabbed the sleeve I was dragging on the ground, and pulled me back with all his might.
The chess box in my hand fell to the ground, and the black and white chess bullets flew and splashed, and I stumbled in front of him, my clothes sliding from my shoulders to my elbows.
"If I'm not mistaken, your name is Dumping Snow?" he grabbed a strand of my hair, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and chuckled, "The name is so cold, but the taste is fragrant and warm, this name is really not suitable for you." ”
"This name was given to my adoptive mother, and whether it is appropriate or not, I am grateful and will cherish it even more. ”
"Women are like water, and thousands of feelings are soft around their fingers. You are gentle and don't like to be competitive, but the word 'soft' is best for you. Since you are already one of my people, change your name today. ”
"Changed?"
"Yes, it was. He kissed my hair lightly and smiled bewitchingly: "You will not be a snow dumper in the future, but the favorite concubine of His Royal Highness Wu Yi, the sixteenth son, Ah Rou." ”
I looked at Wu Yi, who was as beautiful as a fairy in front of me but was cunning and mysterious, and I wanted to refuse, but now I was helpless to be controlled by him, and I couldn't help myself, so I had to nod with difficulty.
"Good. He grabbed my chin and pulled me closer, the tip of his nose against the tip of my nose, and the warm breath fell between my lips and teeth. The hair that hung down from his shoulders brushed my unstranded shoulders, and I couldn't help but shudder.
"You listen up, Arou. Wu Yi stared into my eyes, and his lips opened lightly: "I want you...... Help me kill someone. ”
My eyes widened suddenly, and I asked in disbelief, "What...... What?"
"The favorite courtier of the current First Emperor, Zhao Gao. His fingers rubbed gently against my face, his movements gentle and soft, but the words he spoke were chilling.
"Arou, it doesn't matter if you die, there is only one thing you have to do, and that is to kill him. ”
"No...... No!" I shook my head vigorously away from him, my hands propped back on the ground, and shook my head vigorously, "No, I don't want to die! I can't die! I won't go!"
"Ah Rou, don't you understand?" Wu Yi gently shook the fan in his hand, the fan printed with red plum covered his face, only revealing his bewitching fox eyes, he smiled: "Your life is mine, I let you live, you will not die." But if I let you die, you won't want to live. You don't have a choice at all. ”
Zhao Gao, the distant family of the first emperor Yingzheng, was tortured for crimes, his mother was implicated and reduced to slavery, and several of his brothers were lowly in the world. Later, because Ying Zheng heard that he was diligent and proficient in the law, he was specially promoted to be the commander of the Zhongche Prefecture, and was ordered by the Holy Order to teach the eighteenth son Hu Hai to be sentenced to prison.
How could I have killed such a sleek man who was in the favor of the Holy Grace?
"Why did you kill him?" I said, my face pale, my voice vain.
"Because he's thinking about things he shouldn't think, coveting things he shouldn't covet. Wu Yi snapped the fan together, his eyes were gloomy, and he sneered: "The rivers and mountains of Great Qin, it is not the turn of the person surnamed Zhao to plan the plate." ”
"He wants your life?"
"He didn't want my life. Wu Yi's sharp eyes shot into my eyes, "He wants this country." ”
"How can it ......" I shook my head, tears sliding out of my eyes, and I said to myself in a frenzy: "I can't kill him...... Such a powerful character...... I don't want ...... Can't die...... I'll have to wait...... Long ...... Long ......"
"Changxi?" Wu Yi frowned slightly, and then raised his eyebrows and asked, "Could this Changxi be your favorite musician?"
I cowered in the corner of the room with a pale face, not looking at him.
What should I do? I'm scared. I thought I was strong enough, strong enough that I could live well without you. But I have forgotten that unlike the care you have taken care of me, I am just a little dancing girl to them, and my life and death are only between ants.
"Ah Rou, since you have entered the turbid world, who can be alone?" Wu Yi seemed to sigh lightly, he threw the folding fan to me, and said helplessly: "I promise you, if you succeed, I will send you back to him." The gentleman has no jokes, this is my promise. ”
