Chapter 120: Sorrow

Dou Yifang looked at it awe-inspiringly, Mrs. Cen was weak-hearted, and she didn't want to show weakness, so she brushed her sleeves and left.

Dou Yifang was leaving, Wei Muyu, Han Lian, and Qin Yilian were naturally reluctant to see them off. Lan Yi had already cried into tears, because Dou Yifang couldn't take them with him when he went to practice this time, and only brought Jiang Yanxiang alone.

Dou Yifang asked Wei Muyu to help take care of the light lotus, duckweed and blue clothes who stayed in the palace, because she was worried that they would be bullied after she left.

Wei Muyu nodded in response, and asked, "When will you come back?" ”

Dou Yifang never said that she would come back, but Wei Muyu understood her thoughts, so she couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"I don't know if I'll be able to come back." Dou Yifang smiled bitterly, "Let it be!" ”

"But have you ever thought that leaving the palace will be more dangerous?"

Dou Yifang smiled indifferently, of course she knew, but for her, it was the same everywhere.

A thick haze had accumulated in the sky, and snow and ice crystals drifted in the cold wind.

Dou Yifang wore a red animal wool cloak, walked through the long aisle, on both sides of the brown brick walls, hard and cold, and stepped on the stone pavement printed by the years. The whole palace has been gathered in this brick and stone.

A carriage stopped at the end of the passage, and there were six brown-armored guards around the carriage, one of whom was Zhang Wu, who had saved Dou Yifang.

"I was ordered to escort my beloved to Baiyun Temple."

Dou Yifang bowed his head slightly, and glanced back at the gray-brown dark passage, and at the other end of the passage, Liu Heng's figure seemed to appear. But when the wind blew, the shadow was scattered and scattered. A little melancholy rose from the bottom of my heart and turned into a silent sigh.

Jiang Yanxiang helped Dou Yifang to sit in the carriage, and the wheels crushed the stone road, making a loud sound, and the sound of horses' hooves echoed in the passage.

When you leave the palace gate, you will see an open space. But Dou Yifang was not interested in the world outside the palace at all, she closed her eyes and stared, listening with her ears pricked up, as if waiting for a certain voice. The palace wall behind him was getting farther and farther away, and the voice still didn't appear.

Guangyuan Palace, atrium.

Liu Heng stood in the wind, looking up at the gloomy sky thoughtfully.

"King, it's windy here, go back to the house!!"

"What time is it?"

"It's almost noon......"

"Where's Dou Yifang?"

"I think it's time to leave the capital......

Liu Heng looked in the direction where Dou Yifang left, and suddenly felt very melancholy. This also took advantage of the cold, and the next day he fell ill.

He didn't want to do anything today, he just felt distraught. I can't stand it, I can't eat the food. The pen in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, he slapped the pen on the table, got up and walked out of the study. Wanquan hurriedly followed and asked him where he was going, and he only said to go for a walk.

"The king rex is sick, it's cold outside, let's rest in the house!!"

Liu Heng was indifferent to Wanquan's advice. Somehow, I walked and came to Youlan Palace. Chunyan Pavilion was deserted, he glanced at it, and then folded to Qiuming Pavilion.

Mrs. Cen greeted her with wine, she knew the reason for Liu Heng's melancholy, and she also knew how to comfort an injured person. In this cold season, Liu Heng is like a lonely wild goose, and only in the Autumn Tea Pavilion can he find warmth and calm.

Arran Palace.

"Where's the king?"

"Back to Niangniang, the king went to Youlan Palace."

Queen Chen's cold face could not see any expression. She seemed to gradually understand one thing, Dou Yifang left, and Liu Heng went to Qiu Ming Pavilion more often.

She remembered that when she was interrogating Dou Yifang that day, the palace maid Han Lian suspected that Mrs. Cen had framed Dou Yifang. If what Han Lian said was true, then she would have become Mrs. Cen's pawn and be used by others.

She couldn't imagine that Mrs. Cen, who usually kept to herself, turned out to be such a scheming person.

Although there is no evidence to prove her conjecture, it also makes her feel uncomfortable. Whoever makes her uncomfortable, she makes that person even more uncomfortable!

But this does not mean that Queen Chen will let Dou Yifang go, in fact, after learning that Dou Yifang is going to leave the palace and become a monk, her trap has been quietly laid outside the palace.

From the capital to Baiyun Temple, it takes four days to walk according to the normal itinerary. More than half of the trip, because this time Dou Yifang was ordered to become a monk, so there were officials to escort him along the way, and he walked smoothly. On this day, they came to Qinghe County.

Qinghe County Ling Huang Liao learned that Dou Liangren had arrived, and he took a group of officials from the county out of the city early to greet him.

"Qinghe County Commander Huang Liao, see Dou Liangren."

"Excuse me!!"

"Xie Liangren, a meal has been prepared in the yamen to catch the wind and wash the dust for the beloved."

……

In the lobby, the lights are bright, the aroma is pleasant, and the wine is boiled over a warm fire. The cold wind and chill were cut off by a large door, and the elegant sound of the piano lingered faintly under the beams.

Huang Liao always had a flattering smile, flattering Dou Yifang with all his might, and every word he said was full of praise. He thought that he could please Dou Yifang like this, but he didn't want Dou Yifang to lose his appetite.

"Lord Huang......" Dou Yifang interrupted Huang Liao's mouth, "Can I say two words?" ”

Huang Liao laughed again and said, "Of course you can, the lower officials are always ready to listen to Niangniang's teachings." ”

Dou Yifang said two words coldly - quiet.

Huang Liao was stunned when he heard this, his tongue was tied in a dead knot, and he stopped talking. Jiang Yanxiang saw his funny appearance on the side, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

After Huang Liao calmed down, the sound of the piano in the banquet became clearer and cleaner. Dou Yifang couldn't help but be fascinated by it, and only listened to the melody of the piano, which turned into a heartfelt song. The music hurts, such as crying and complaining, and it is heartwarming.

Dou Yifang couldn't help but think of her own tragic experience - her mother was killed, she fled with her brother, and in the end she still failed to protect her brother. Then he went to two palaces, was bullied and neglected. All kinds of past events made Dou Yifang cry.

Huang Liao immediately showed displeasure when he saw it, and said to the waiter next to him: "Go quickly, let the Lin family stop playing!" ”

The waiter nodded in agreement, and was about to leave when he was stopped by Dou Yifang, and said coldly: "Let her finish playing." ”

Huang Liao speculated that Dou Yifang's mind failed, as if he had taken a bite of Huang Lian.

After soothing the song, Dou Yifang took out a silk scarf, wiped the tears lightly, and then asked Huang Liao who was caressing the qin.

Huang Liao said: "This woman's name is Lin Rou, and she is a geisha in the county's drunken Red Mansion. ”

After a while, a woman with a graceful figure and a beautiful face arrived. Knowing that the sound of her piano made Dou Yifang cry, she knelt down and kowtowed to ask for sin, "The folk girl Lin Rou sees the mother and the adult." ”

Dou Yifang judged from her few mannerisms and conversations that she was not an ordinary geisha singer, and she saw from her the kind of Lan Zhihui temperament unique to everyone's ladies. But there was a bit of melancholy in her tone and demeanor, which was pity.

Although Dou Yifang's status is noble, she is still approachable, and she is not used to seeing others in front of her, even if she can stand it. So Dou Yifang immediately asked Jiang Yanxiang to help Lin Rou up and give her a seat. Lin Rou bowed and thanked her, her demeanor was elegant, but she didn't dare to sit down easily.

Dou Yifang inadvertently caught a glimpse of Huang Liao's dark eyes, as if he was warning Lin Rou. Looking at Lin Rou again, she didn't have the calmness just now, and seemed to be a little nervous. From this, Dou Yifang speculated that there seemed to be something unspeakable about this Lin Rou.

The atmosphere was a little stiff, Dou Yifang smiled and asked Lin Rou what kind of track she was playing just now.

Lin Rou replied modestly: "It's just that the folk girl is playing around." ”

"It's amazing that such a moving sound can pop up with a random play. I'm also very interested in music, and I'm careless, can I ask Miss Lin to give me some advice? ”

"The folk girl doesn't dare to be a ......" While speaking, Lin Rou peeked at Huang Liao, as if she was waiting for Huang Liao's instructions.

When Huang Liao was about to signal Lin Rou to refuse Dou Yifang, he heard Dou Yifang say, "Lord Huang, can Miss Lin lend Ben Liangren a night?" ”

How dare Huang Liao refuse Dou Yifang, and said with a smile: "Whatever Niangniang wants, just say it." ”

"That's how the beloved man thanked the adults again......"

It can be seen that Lin Rou really has to look at Huang Liao's face to act, as for why, maybe she will be able to understand tonight.

At night, the lights are silent. The snow has stopped, and the wind has not stopped. The shadow of the swaying lamp under the eaves is confusing.

Jiang Yanxiang made a cup of tea and sent it to Dou Yifang, and asked, "Master, why did you deliberately see Miss Lin at such a time?" ”

Dou Yifang took a sip lightly and said, "Don't you see at the banquet that Lin Rou looks like she is distressed?" ”

"I can see it, but I don't understand it......" Jiang Yanxiang glanced at Dou Yifang, and swallowed back the words later, embarrassed to say.

But Dou Yifang knew what she wanted to say, "You want to say why are we meddling?" ”

Jiang Yanxiang lowered her head in shame, she was bent on saving her family, so she was a little selfish, and she didn't want Dou Yifang to waste time on other things.

Dou Yifang said: "I came out this time to become a monk and practice, accumulate good karma, this can help something!" Miss Lin is also a poor person like you and me. ”

"The slave knows ...... wrong"

While he was talking, there was a knock on the door outside, and Lin Rou arrived.

Dou Yifang asked Jiang Yanxiang to invite her in and take a seat. Lin Rou saw that Dou Yifang did not prepare the piano, so she knew that Dou Yifang's drunkard did not mean to drink. Before arriving, Huang Liao had warned her to be careful when she spoke. Dou Yifang was not in a hurry, and asked her to improvise a song first. But she was thinking about how to deal with Dou Yifang, and she became absent-minded when playing the piano, and she played out of tune several times.

"Miss Lin seems to have something on her mind?" Dou Yifang asked suddenly.

"No, no......" Lin Rou replied, looking flustered.

"If the girl has a good friend who can help, but it doesn't matter, this good man will definitely make decisions for you......"

Hearing this, Lin Rou hesitated for a while, and finally left tears in her eyes, kneeling in front of Dou Yifang, "Ask Niangniang to uphold justice for the slave family!" ”

Sure enough, there is a hidden secret.

"Let's get up and talk about it!!" Dou Yi atrial road.

Lin Rou didn't want to get up, so she knelt down and said. It turned out that she was a native of Xiacai, Jiujiang County, with a solid family background, a young lady, and a stable and comfortable life. But one day, when the disaster came, the Lin family was brutalized by traitors, and more than 20 members of the family were poisoned and died.
