Chapter 32 Mourning for Others
In an instant, she heard the grief among the flowers in the depths of her heart, and she let out a loud cry of sorrow. Her eyes were also quietly full of tears, and they burst out of her eyes and fell down the back of her hand along her white and small cheeks.
Wen Yeting was shocked, but it was inconvenient to say more, so he went out and tilted his head to observe her movements, with distress in his eyes.
I don't know how long she cried, until she felt that her eyes couldn't be opened, her throat was hoarse, and she suddenly felt that the world was spinning.
"Hanama, I'll avenge her." After a long time, she said this firmly.
There are no more words over there except mourning and mourning.
She sat down, put the remains of the Qingke in order, and carefully opened the letter, which read:
Zhou Lang, seeing the words is like meeting.
I haven't seen you for eighteen years, I didn't expect you to be so obsessed, what should I say about you? At that time, you were brilliant in writing, famous in Beijing, and the limelight was unrivaled for a while, how many beauties fell under your pen, and how many literati and artists competed to learn from you, so you were also reused by Wang Miao.
But you are upright and upright, and you don't want to be in the same stream with those mediocre people who are clever and eloquent, and there are separate parties in the government and the opposition, but you are both public enemies.
Later, someone deliberately told you that Wang Miao worked hard for the people and lost money, and did not hesitate to slaughter the village, which provoked you to dispel public opinion and give direct advice, so Wang Miao was sentenced for committing a crime and thrown into a mass grave.
Don't you know, I didn't accidentally pass by and rescue you, but deliberately went secretly, I appreciate everyone who is not afraid of the darkness and dares to open the clouds to see the sun, not to mention that person or you? It's a pity that after I brought you back to Yuhuatai for healing, it didn't take long for me to say goodbye, and it took 18 years to leave.
What I didn't expect was that you waited for me incognito in this Jinyun City for eighteen years.
When I first returned to Jinyun City, I saw you wandering at the gate of Yuhuatai but did not dare to recognize each other, and the lady who sold flower bags on the side saw me looking at you intently, so she told me that you would appear here every morning, whether it was the sun or the rain.
She originally asked who you were waiting for, but you only replied that your sweetheart was the person in front of you.
I hesitated many times to see you, but I stopped because I knew my mission. In the last days of my life, I thought about sneaking a look at you, and I would have no regrets in this life.
But I didn't expect to be discovered by you this time, I didn't run away again, and I even felt a little undeserved in my heart, glad that I was found by you, and glad that I got what I wanted.
You will know what happened later, and you will give me advice, and live and die with me.
I will always remember what you said, "Life is a lover, and this hatred has nothing to do with the wind and the moon." How can I look forward to the first eighteen years, but I hope to share flowers and branches in the next life. ”
If you and I are fortunate enough to meet again, I want to hear these words to you. But if we meet on the bridge, I will carve this suspenseful thought into my heart, and I will look for you again in the next life. Then I will pick a plum blossom and give it to you.
When she finished reading the letter, she burst into tears, immersed in the great grief for a long time.
What she didn't expect was that in this era, there are still so many people who are burdened with pain. She thought that the prosperity and harmony of a hundred years ago were real, but now it seems that it is all absurd.
She stood up and tried to find the man's body.
Wen Yeting knew her thoughts, so they walked to the mass grave in the suburbs together, silent all the way, Wen Yeting caught a glimpse of the tears on her face had not yet dried, but her expression was extremely determined.
When she walked to the gate of the city, she saw a corpse hanging from the city wall, and she fixed her eyes on it, and it was the man, and there were several patrolling officers and soldiers around her.
She didn't expect Wang Miao to humiliate this person so much after his death, and she was angry from her heart.
Wen Yeting stepped forward to lure the guard away, and she found a cart to push the man's body under a big tree outside the city to hide. Later, Wen Yeting returned to the inn and sent someone to send the Qingke outside the city.
When they found a quiet place, they began to bury the two men.
She followed the instructions of the flower room and planted a plum branch at the grave. Then he took out the letter and read it by candlelight, while Wen Yeting stood aside and looked at her quietly.
After reading it, she lit the letter with a fire, burned it in front of the grave, and got up to leave, but she tossed all night and her heart was like a knife, and she almost did not stand firm.
Wen Yeting was so frightened that she hurriedly supported her, and said softly, "Cai Cai, I'll send you back." ”
When she heard his voice at this time, she felt the grievance in her heart spread, and she burst into tears again, unable to take a step.
"Cai Cai ......" Wen Yeting's voice was also a little trembling, but he felt that no matter what he said, it would be useless, so he had to rub his eyes and repeat, "The pain you suffered today will definitely come back." ”
She didn't answer, and the flowers must have been sad at this time. The two of them went to the Imperial Flower Terrace, and at this time, the eastern sky had gradually whitened, and the earth had begun to brighten.
Fuchiyuki waited all night outside the gate of the Imperial Flower Terrace, anxious to see that she had not returned, afraid that she would be discovered by the patrolling guards.
Seeing her and Wen Yeting walking towards this side from a distance, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Childe, you are finally here." I heard that there was an accident in Muhua Palace at night, and Yuhuatai was also panicked, and everyone was worried. I'm afraid that Miss Shi will arouse suspicion when she returns to the Royal Flower Terrace, so I've been guarding the door, let's go, now go in, while everyone hasn't woken up yet. After that, he went to open the door for her, Wen Yeting saw her in, explained a few words to Yuanzhi, and then went back to the inn.
Jiang Ning, who also stayed awake all night, saw that she finally came back, her eyes were red, and she couldn't help asking, "Are you okay?" Why are you only back now? I heard that there were Assassins at last night's banquet, and my heart jumped to my throat. Let me see, you're not hurt, are you? ”
She shook her head, but she didn't even have the strength to defend herself.
Jiang Ning also understood that she might have some troubles, so he only patted her on the back and comforted, "It's okay." However, you may not know that the Lord of the Night has returned, and has summoned the flower officials to assemble. I didn't sleep because I was worried about you, and wandered around the courtyard when I overheard Madame Jade seem to have lost her mind. ”
At this time, when she heard the news, she was even more shocked and asked, "Huh? How so? Is it poisoned or ......"
Jiang Ning's face was embarrassed, and he only shook his head slightly, "It shouldn't be, I heard that the assassin injured her, but in fact, it was not a big deal, and the imperial doctor left after going to deal with it." What she didn't expect was that she wouldn't let the maid freshen up and change her clothes, and yelled to drive everyone away, and after sitting on the ground for an hour, she began to babble gibberish, and went crazy. So the maidservant girl hurriedly called the imperial doctor, and only then did she know that her pulse was completely chaotic, and the person was already delirious. This made everyone brainstorm, and the chief went back to Yuhuatai to think of a way. ”
"Is it because she was disheveled in front of everyone and was abandoned by the state lord, so she was like a tree and hysterical?" She whispered, desolate again.
Although Mrs. Nayu said that she was arrogant, she was not a traitorous person, but she did not expect to be disintegrated because of the word "people's heart".
Jiang Ning sighed with emotion: "Xu is so. After all, she has been dressed and fed since she was a child, she was born in a famous family, and after marrying into Muhua Palace, she was favored by thousands of people, so she was naturally like a delicate flower that could not withstand frost. It's just that I didn't expect that the state lord would not be thinking about protecting Mrs. Yu in that case, but about arresting the assassin in the first place. In other words, I am Mrs. Yu, and my fate is hanging by a thread, but at that critical moment, the person next to my pillow is indifferent, and I will inevitably be unable to bear it. ”
She didn't say anything more, she only felt pathos, and sighed in her heart: "If you meet someone who is not a good person, why bother for life." ”
Lying in the light, she felt as if she was in the abyss. She tried to close her eyes, but there was still a pool of blood in her mind, she had seen many more tragic scenes than this, why did she feel a little frightened now......
Thinking about it, she fell asleep tiredly, and in her sleep she faintly heard someone knocking on her door.
Then Jiang Ning's voice sounded, and the panic that could not be concealed in the deliberately suppressed voice.
The person outside the door was the head of the Yuhuatai, and the lofty posture seemed to be looking at everyone, and he only shouted calmly, "Let her get up!" ”
When she opened her eyes, she saw that there were not only a few people gathered outside the door, but also many guards who came to the flower envoys.
Jiang Ning's hand clenched the door frame tightly, so hard that his nails were bloodshot, but he still tried to block the person who wanted to rush in.
She stood up and looked at the situation in front of her, not knowing what was happening, but her heart was calm, and she knew that she had to remain calm at the moment.
So she gently moved Jiang Ning's body, only to see that Jiang Ning's eyes were not only worried but also unfathomable fear, presumably this matter would be very tricky.
The principal glanced at her and asked loudly, "You are Shi Jingyou, right?" ”
She quickly came to her senses and replied respectfully.
"Where did you go last night?" This sentence came out of the mouth of the principal, but there was no tone of question, as if he was just waiting for her to give an answer.
Her brain was racing rapidly, and she immediately made up an excuse, "I was frightened by the accident in the palace last night, and after I forced myself out of the Muhua Palace, I fainted in a few steps." There were few pedestrians in the middle of the night, so I was woken up by a kind person at dawn and sent back to Yuhuatai. ”
"Oh?" The principal looked at her with a smirk, obviously not believing her words, and only continued majestically, with a look that seemed to be facing her, and seemed to reprimand everyone present, "From now on, everyone is not allowed to leave the Royal Flower Terrace." If anyone who dares to fish in troubled waters and affect our Yuhuatai, I will definitely make her crushed and die. ”
After finishing speaking, the principal took a few steps closer, and her slightly tall figure had a strong sense of oppression, leaned over, and whispered, "You'd better not let me catch it." Then he turned and left.
Hearing this, she instantly got goosebumps, although she was not the kind of person who was timid, but at this moment she still felt creepy.
But she was still silent on the surface, and she didn't show anything.
"She wouldn't be suspicious, would she?" Hanama was also frightened by these words, and asked a little sluggishly.
She closed the door first, her eyebrows furrowed, "I don't know." But since I entered the Imperial Flower Terrace, I haven't met with the principal a few times. Later, she went to the palace again, and it stands to reason that she would not have noticed it so quickly. ”
Jiang Ning saw that her face was a little pale, so he hurriedly helped her sit down, and said with a sigh of relief: "I'm scared to death." Looking at that posture, I thought she was going to do something to you, okay, okay, just grounded. ”
She nodded, it seems that this Yuhuatai is also like a tiger's den, and she will have to walk on thin ice in the future. If you offend the principal, it must be even more difficult to get close to Wang Miao.
