Chapter 8: Jumping into the River
"Sister Shen, what's wrong with you?" Asking this sentence, Yue Feng's mind was full of alarm bells, and a shallow coolness flashed behind him.
Shen Conghui with this appearance is really scary.
"Don't make a sound, don't ask, I'll tell you later." Quickly dropping these words, Shen Conghui walked quickly to the door and listened.
Looking at her movements, a trace of doubt flashed on Yue Feng's face, and then he stepped forward and made the same movements as her.
Outside the door, the sound of several people discussing was not loud or small, but it was enough for the two people inside the door to hear clearly.
"They're trying to hurt you, aren't they?" Yue Feng murmured, the coldness between her eyebrows was like cold winter morning frost.
As soon as she heard this, Shen Conghui, who was afraid of alarming outsiders, hurriedly signaled her not to make a sound, and at the same time, she didn't say anything she wanted to say. To be precise, Sister Dao is not harming her, but harming the two of them. Today's target is her, and tomorrow is Yuefeng.
Locking Shen Conghui's frightened face, Yue Feng paused for a moment, then looked outside the door, snorted coldly, and fierceness suddenly flashed in his black eyes.
She recognizes Shen Conghui as her sister, so she must be responsible for Shen Conghui's safety.
Thinking of this, her heart moved suddenly, pulled Shen Conghui away, and whispered: "Sister Shen, you don't have to worry, when they come in, I have my own way to deal with it." ”
"How to deal with it?" Shen Conghui asked anxiously, his eyes probing straight into Yue Feng. It's not that she doesn't believe in Yue Feng, it's really the current situation, she doesn't think Yue Feng has the ability to solve it.
"I have my own way." She smiled slightly, and the ghostly fire in her eyes shocked Shen Conghui. Fortunately, she was a friend, not an enemy, with her, otherwise she might have lost a lot.
"Sister Shen, at the door, Sister Dao and a guard, you and I exchange clothes, when they come in, I will rush out to lure them away, you take the opportunity to go out, and want to go to the opposite forest, where belongs to the Wei Zhou Dynasty, they don't dare to make too many times." After explaining everything, Yue Feng had already taken off his clothes.
"I don't dare to go to the forest on the other side, and I'm afraid you won't be able to get out." After listening to Yue Feng's words, Shen Conghui didn't move, although she wanted to escape, she couldn't trap Yue Feng in injustice, so she made up the excuse that she didn't dare to go to the opposite forest.
Hearing this, Yue Feng stopped moving. She looked at Shen Conghui who was hugging her, her eyes quickly rolled for a week, and she changed her mind, "Do you have any other doors and windows in this house?" ”
The forest opposite is dark and gloomy, Sister Shen naturally doesn't dare to go, and even if she really goes, she may not be found back tomorrow, and at that time, the fear waiting for her is not just as simple as being sold to the Qinglou, so she really can't think about it.
"There's a window in the inner room, but..."
"There's nothing but that, go, follow me." Before Shen Conghui finished speaking, Yue Feng had already pulled her up and walked to the inner room.
At the delay meeting, Sister Dao and the others are afraid that they will come in.
Pushing open the window, Yue Feng was frightened by the scene in front of him and broke out in a cold sweat. She should have listened to Shen Conghui just now, after all, outside this window, there is a big river, with the bodies of the two of them, I am afraid that if they jump down, they will definitely die.
"Miss Shen, where are you?" Just when the two of them had a headache, Sister Dao had already pushed open the door and walked in.
Yue Feng secretly screamed badly. Now that there are wolves in front and tigers in the back, there is really no time for them to think about it.
"Sister Shen, let's jump down." Pointing out the window, Yue Feng's gaze was extremely firm. Instead of being caught and sold into the Qinglou, it is better to fight for yourself.
Poking her head out, Shen Conghui had doubts, but when she saw Sister Dao and them coming in the dark, she tore off her skirt, quickly climbed onto the window, and then spit out the word thank you, and jumped down without the slightest hesitation.
"Sister Shen, wait for me." Sitting on the window with a stool, Yue Feng held Shen Conghui's hand tightly, and shouted at the same time: "Sister Shen, I'm really sorry, I want you to gamble with your life." ”
Shen Conghui hooked his lips, lowered his eyes for a moment, and when he raised his eyes again, he shook his head gently, "If I don't die if I jump down, I will have a new life, but if I am caught by them, there will be only one end, and I will be sold into a green building." What kind of place Qinglou is, I think my sister should know it too, so I don't have to say I'm sorry. ”
The last word fell, and the smile on the corner of her mouth became brighter in the dark, but its bitterness was also quite obvious.
Maybe she won't ever understand why her father sold her into the Qinglou in her life.
Looking at Shen Conghui's frustrated appearance, Yue Feng pursed her lips and was silent for a long time, and her hands unconsciously clenched tighter and tighter.
When she was looking at Shen Conghui, she was probably looking at herself.
"Sister Yue, let's jump." Gently stroking the back of her hand, Shen Conghui looked at the two black shadows not far behind him, and said with some urgency.
Coming back to his senses, Yue Feng nodded slightly. Before he could prepare, the person had already been pulled down by Shen Conghui.
The strong impact left both of them blank in their minds, but the only thing they knew was to hold each other's hands.
The loud sound of falling water made Sister Dao and the others realize that something was wrong, so they walked faster and faster, and when they came to the window and saw the scene outside the window, they all fell to the ground in fright.
They jumped into the river! That's right, Shen Conghui and Yue Feng jumped into the river together.
The other is within the Ming Dynasty.
"It's only been a few days, and the emperor has already been turned around by Yuexiu's little slut. Queen, you'll have to think of a way. "In the Jade Phoenix Hall of the Evergreen Palace, several women are discussing together. I saw that they all looked worried.
"Sister Shu, this is in a hurry, don't you think you were the same as that Yuexiu back then?" A tidal satire voice came from outside. I saw a woman with beautiful eyebrows and phoenix eyes and a slender figure entering.
"Sister Ning, what do you mean by that?" Concubine Shu clenched her fists, very angry in her heart. Now that she is a concubine, how can she compare with that little slut!
Seeing Concubine Shu's angry and forbearant appearance, Concubine Ning hooked her lips and smiled, ignoring her completely. Thinking in my heart, I really don't know how the emperor would give the word Shu to this rude woman in front of him.
"Meet my sister." Retracting her thoughts, Concubine Ning saluted to the person sitting up.
"Get up, Sister Ning is here, let's sit down and discuss the current matter together. Apricot book, give sitting. Hiding the dissatisfaction in her eyes, the queen motioned to the people around her to move.
"Thank you, sister." Concubine Ning picked the corners of her eyes, and a respectful smile appeared on her face, but the corners of her mouth were hooked with disdain.
"Sister Ning, you have the most ideas on weekdays, and now you have a way." As soon as Concubine Ning sat down, the queen mother who was seated opened her mouth.
Hearing this, Concubine Ning smiled playfully, then straightened her skirt and said slowly: "My sister and many younger sisters can't do it, how can this palace have a way." ”
"That's just as well." The queen replied lightly, her voice was unusually cold, and her face hidden in the dark made it difficult to see her expression.
Now the only one who dares to speak to her in this tone is the Concubine Ning in front of her, who thinks she is on an equal footing.
The silent atmosphere made Concubine Chang, who had never made a sound, smell the smell of danger, and she locked the sapphire armor on her little finger and whispered: "If you can't think of a way, then the sisters might as well go back, so as not to nag the queen mother." ”
"Don't, Sister Chang, if the emperor recruits that Yuexiu into the palace like this, the virtuous concubine who is the head of the eight concubines will be hers." Seeing that everyone was leaving, Concubine Shu hurriedly stopped.
She has endured for many years to sit on the position of this concubine, and she must not let a person who has just entered the palace ride on her head.
Concubine Shu's words were exactly what everyone wanted to say, but they looked at each other, lifting their skirts and sitting down again.
In the harem of the Ming Dynasty, although there are treacherous and treacherous things, since the decline of Concubine Xu and others, these concubines are used to a comfortable life, so the struggle is not strong. No, as soon as I heard that there was a newcomer entering the palace, my eyes turned red, because if a newcomer entered, it meant that the struggle would start endlessly.
Staring at the useless people in the hall, the queen shook her head in disappointment. Then he raised his hand and motioned for them to be quiet, "This palace doesn't care if she enters the palace to achieve that position, but if she wants to go against this palace, this palace will definitely let her live rather than die." At the end of the sentence, the queen's eyes appeared like the color of blood, and there was a terrifying fear in the red she wore today, which was like two people who were peaceful and fearless in the past.
Her words were not only for Yuexiu, but also for everyone present, especially the self-righteous Concubine Ning.
The shocking words made all the concubines kneel down one after another, and Concubine Ning was no exception. She restrained the disdain on her face, and the hatred in her eyes continued unabated.
Hmph, what a dismount.
"Okay, it's okay, just step down." The queen propped her forehead and slowly stood up with Xingshu's outstretched hand.
Yuexiu's success not only made the harem ladies feel uneasy, but also made all the show girls in the Chaoxiu Hall unable to calm down.
"I really don't know what luck she had, the starting point that others can't get in their lifetime, she actually saw the emperor, and she got such good treatment, and she was lucky every night." In the Chaoxiu Palace, several show girls gathered around and pointed at Yuexiu who was dressing up.
Some of their eyes are jealousy, some are envy, and some are incomprehensible.
For their scrutiny, Yuexiu naturally understood, she held the jade forehead pendant in front of her eyes and shook it, smiling. This jade forehead pendant has no meaning, it just will aggravate everyone's emotions, after all, this is what the emperor rewarded her.
"Master Yue, go with the old slave, the emperor will wait for you in the Xingjie Palace."
As usual, when Yuexiu got up to go back to the room, Mama Qingxiang walked in with a sharp voice. It sounded like it wanted everyone to know.
Yuexiu glanced at everyone, moved the lotus step lightly, and walked towards Qingxiang Mama with a smile on her face. During this period, I unconsciously straightened my thin waist. Hehe, a group of rouge vulgar fans, also deserve to compete with me.
"Thank you, Mama Qingxiang." Walking up to Mama, Yuexiu pretended to salute and thank you.
Yuexiu's actions made Qingxiang's grandmother panic, she held Yuexiu's hand, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Your mother is my old friend, I should help you, I hope you can live up to your expectations and become a phoenix in one day." After finishing speaking, Mama Qingxiang helped her forward.
The word Qingxiang's mother deeply pierced Yuexiu's heart, and she stared at the road ahead, her eyes were already full of tears.
Mother, daughter will definitely not fail you.
