Chapter Seventy-Eight: Entering the Palace
Mo Tu looked at the girl fluttering in the water contemptuously, pursed his lips, and wanted to kill him? Dream on!
Patting the dust off his pants, he left there without hesitation.
"Help...... Help me...... Help ......"
Ruoxi shouted desperately, fluttering in the frightened water, her nose, mouth, and throat were all choked by the pool, and her body sank involuntarily, she kicked desperately, but there was nothing under her feet, she couldn't step on anything, thinking that she was about to drown in the lake, her teeth chattered with fear!
"Woooooooooo......oo Help me...... Save...... Destiny ......"
The icy water flooded her nose, fear and suffocation frenzied her, Ruoxi's face turned pale, the light in her eyes gradually faded, and with the boundless coldness, she slowly sank into the water.
I don't want to die!
She was not willing to die like this!
Her throbbing arm could no longer exert any strength, her brain went blank, and she gradually lost consciousness.
Fortunately, she didn't deserve to die, and at this time two people came across the pond.
These two people are none other than the second lady Mingxiu and Ouyang Bingxue.
"Look, there's someone in the water? Come on, come on, someone, someone has fallen into the water, save people! ”
Mingxiu saw that someone in the water was about to drown, and subconsciously trembled in fear, and immediately shouted in panic, and soon, several subordinates were attracted by the shouting, and jumped into the water to fish up the dying Ruoxi.
"Is it her?"
As soon as she saw who it was, Ouyang Bingxue immediately sank her face, glanced at her mother unhappily, and seemed to say: You are really nosy.
Mingxiu coughed lightly, she was just scared and instinctively reacted just now.
At this time, Ruoxi had already fainted, her face was pale, and there was green mud in her mouth, Ouyang Bingxue stepped forward and unceremoniously turned her over with her feet, her movements were very rude, and she sneered gloatingly, "Presumably this weather is too hot, Miss Ruoxi can't bear to come to the water to cool down." ”
As soon as these words came out, some of the maids around covered their lips and snickered.
"Second Miss, if Xi is already like this, don't fall into the well."
The one who spoke was a maid who looked not young, this maid had been in the mansion for many years, and she had accumulated silver every year to supply her relatives at home, and she was the person who Ruoxi gave the silver to last time, she bent down and picked up Ruoxi, and hurried to find the doctor.
After all, Ruoxi is still a celebrity in front of the master, if he really dies, the master will be furious, not to mention that the current Ouyang Bingxue's status in the mansion is not as good as a maid, this maid naturally has the courage to speak.
"You ......"
Ouyang Bingxue was just about to get angry, but was stopped by Mingxiu and shook his head at her, "Bear with it, otherwise you will be ...... by your father."
"Alright, alright! How could I have such a cowardly and incompetent mother as you! ”
Ouyang Bingxue sprinkled all the anger on Mingxiu, glared at her, and left in a negative mood, leaving Mingxiu standing in place and shaking his head and sighing, today I finally said that I moved my daughter to come out together, but I didn't want this to happen, could God really let their mother and daughter be so alienated forever.
"Second lady, let's go back."
Red Candle reminded on the side, although she looked down on this second lady in her heart, but now that she is a maid and the master, she is not good at laughing at anything, as long as she monitors the second lady well, I believe that the eldest lady will one day return her freedom and let her leave.
"Alright, let's go."
Mingxiu sighed weakly, and left with the maid with a heart full of loss.
……
……
Langyue Pavilion
"Sister, I'm back."
Mo Tu was in a good mood, with a cute smile on his face, looking no different from an ordinary child.
Ouyang Qingfang raised his head, put down the book in his hand, and said softly, "You came back so late, where did you go?" ”
"Hehe, it's just a little more fun."
He smiled embarrassedly, his little appearance was a little honest, his calves came to the girl, and he stretched his neck curiously to look at it, "Sister, what books do you read all day long?" ”
"These are just some herb cognition common sense, what, do you want to see it?"
She raised her eyebrows and handed the book to him funny, but saw him quickly shake her head and wave her hand, "I don't study, I have learned a lot of others with my master and mother all day long, besides, I don't know much about words, and it's useless for my sister to give me books." ”
Qing Mad smiled, and then instructed Xiaocao, "Go and prepare a meal for Tu Tu, after eating, you serve him to take a bath, rest early, and go back to his master early tomorrow." ”
"So fast?"
Mo Tu was stunned, since he was a little reluctant, he shook his head, and threw the reluctance out of his head, he nodded, "Okay." ”
Then, he followed Xiaocao to eat first, crazy but silent.
It was getting dark, and at this time, someone came to the palace.
"Miss Ouyang, the emperor asked you to enter the palace as soon as possible."
The eunuch groveled in front of her, and the palanquin in the palace outside was waiting at the gate of Ouyang's mansion.
"Go now?"
"Yes, the emperor will let you go."
"Okay."
Ouyang Qingfang put the books back in the original place, casually put on a cloak and followed her father-in-law into the palace, of course Ouyang Xing and Li Xianglian knew, they thought that maybe the emperor could make her change her decision.
As soon as he stepped into the Heart Nourishing Palace, Qing Mad sensed that something was wrong.
The light was dim, only one lamp in the hall was faintly shining, and the old emperor was sitting on the dragon chair, half of his body hidden in the darkness, looking a little quiet and terrifying.
"You're here."
"See the emperor for madness."
"No formality, you come over some."
The old emperor beckoned to her slowly, she didn't hesitate, walked thousands, and when she got closer, she found that the old emperor's face was haggard, and he actually looked like he was much older.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
There is concern in her eyes, like a lamp in the night, which makes people feel warm unconsciously.
"Girl, I already know what happened to Princess Jing."
Qing Crazy suddenly, it turned out to be for this, looking at his decadent appearance, she was very puzzled, what was he uncomfortable with when something happened to Princess Jing? This is a little strange, besides, if he knew that Princess Jing had actually been killed by King Jing a long time ago, he didn't know how to feel?
"Your Majesty, the princess's business...... It's weird. ”
"Oh?"
"Qing Mad was on the spot on the day of the incident, and I always felt that Princess Jing's expression looked very strange, not like her usual appearance, as if she was stunned."
Hearing her say this, the emperor suddenly became excited, "Where can you see it?" ”
Qing thought for a while and said, "It's not easy to see it, but just imagine, in that case, how could Princess Jing sit there in a daze with empty eyes, and even suddenly attack King Jing, there are many places that don't make sense, isn't it, and there was a sudden fire in the backyard of the palace the night before yesterday, and after the prince went to extinguish the fire and came back, there was no trace of the princess, and someone may have operated it here." ”
After listening to her analysis, the emperor sighed, "The world is impermanent, Liu Lan suffered such a disaster, I am afraid that I will have no face to face everyone in the future, but I heard that King Jing sent her to Qianyun Mountain, I hope she will recover soon." ”
"The emperor doesn't need to worry, the princess is kind-hearted, and the auspicious people have their own destiny."
"Yes, I will personally order to investigate this matter, and I must find out the main messenger behind the scenes!"
"As long as the emperor makes a move, that person will definitely be unable to fly."
"It's better that what you say can make me feel comfortable."
The emperor chuckled, and the old man's face softened a little.
Ouyang Qingmad was silent for a moment, and suddenly arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, Qingmad has something to ask for. ”
"You say."
"Your Majesty, Qing Madness...... I don't want to marry the prince. ”
When she finished speaking, she lowered her head, looking ashamed, but her tone was also very firm.
"Why?"
"Because, I don't love him."
"Love? You haven't known Xuan'er for a long time, and I believe that after you get along with him for a long time, you will naturally fall in love. ”
The old emperor didn't think so, he thought that as long as the two of them were with each other day and night, it would not be a problem for love to rise, and it was really a bit premature for her to make a decision easily.
Qing Mad shook his head, his eyes were firm, and he said slowly: "The emperor doesn't know, if it was in the past, Qing Mad might have considered getting along with the prince well, and naturally he would have strong feelings, but now, the good sister of the madness fell in love with the prince of the world, rather than being occupied by me, a person who doesn't love him, it is better to let it go and let the prince live with the woman who really loves him, wouldn't it be better?" ”
The old emperor was angry and funny, "Girl, do you know that either you make the virtuous or make the other party happy, sometimes, not being able to be with the person you like is eternal torture." ”
Listening to the old emperor's slightly distant tone, as if she had recalled something, she couldn't help asking, "Could it be that the emperor has something that can't stay with each other?" ”
"Hehe, you are the second person to ask me this, yes, I did have a woman I liked very much, but in the end, for many reasons, this woman left me, every time I think of it, it will make my heart ache."
After he finished speaking, he sighed heavily, and his old face was full of loneliness.
Seeing his lonely figure even more gloomy in the dark, she was stunned, and then chuckled, "Your Majesty, you also said that if you want to love, you will love each other, and I don't love the prince now, if it goes on for a long time, it is hard to guarantee that a tragedy is not brewing, if I give the prince to someone who really loves him, how can the prince not be happy?" ”
"After talking for a long time, who are the people you plan to let go?"
The old emperor's face gradually became cold, and his voice sank, and he was very dissatisfied with the woman she wanted to make, and it was not difficult to suspect that if he knew who it was, that person would definitely have no good fruit to eat.
Qing Mad hesitated, lowered his head, and held his two small hands nervously, "This ......"
"Will she be better than you?"
Obviously, the old emperor was very unhappy with her hesitation and hesitation, and the more she defended the man, the more the emperor hated him.
"Your Majesty, Qing Madness doesn't want to say it, and I don't want her to be affected, so don't ask, Your Majesty?"
She bit her lower lip, a crystal tear condensed from the corner of her eye, rolling down her face, and she tilted her head, as if she didn't want people to see her sadness.
"You really don't love the world? But in my opinion, you have wronged yourself in order to fulfill your good sisters. ”
The old emperor's eyes were very keen, and he kept looking at the girl, he walked down from the dragon chair, stopped in front of her and bowed his head, a pair of old palms on her shoulders, his eyes were loving, "Girl, why do you want to wronged yourself?" Since you like him, why do you want to give it to another woman? Do you think that he will be happy in this way? Do you know that being with the person you like is the greatest happiness? If you run away, it will only make him more miserable. ”
Snorted, she smiled and shook her head, this smile was very reluctant, "The emperor misunderstood, I really don't love the prince, at best, it's just a little appreciation, today Qing madness can make such a decision, it must be thought twice, I hope the emperor will be completely mad." ”
She threw herself on her knees, bowing her head, and she had the posture that you can't afford to say anything if you don't promise me.
