Chapter 20: Tragedy at Home

"First, come in and talk about it, don't stand outside."

Yu'er quickly recovered from the sudden blow, pulled her younger brother into Jingyang Palace, and didn't forget to check if there was anyone around before closing the door.

The cold palace also has the benefit of the cold palace, no one wants to approach at all on weekdays, and even the patrolling Ouchi guards are in a hurry, and it can be clearly felt that the frequency of patrolling this place is lower.

But this also made it convenient for them at this time, at least when Deng Wei entered Jingyang Palace first, no one saw it.

If it is seen by others, it will not only fall into the hands of people, but it will not be beneficial to Jingyang Palace and Deng Weixian.

"First, tell me clearly, what's going on at home?"

Yu'er asked anxiously when she closed the door, but her feet were weak and she collapsed directly to the ground.

Thanks to Deng Weixian's quick eyes and quick hands, he helped Yu'er, which didn't make her fall too hard.

"Sister, sit down and rest for a while, and I'll tell you slowly."

Deng Weixian helped Yu'er to sit behind the door, looking at his sister worriedly.

I haven't seen her for a few years, and my sister hasn't changed much compared to the appearance in my memory.

"Maybe I'm the same, otherwise my sister wouldn't have recognized me at a glance." Deng Weixian thought with mixed feelings.

Yu'er was in a trance, her thoughts were chaotic for a while, and a lot of dusty memories appeared in front of her for no reason.

Those are some childhood memories.

Dad, mother, brother......

The past, which I thought had been forgotten for a long time, began to emerge vividly in my purpose.

Deng Weixian saw that his sister was difficult to accept the truth for a while, so he didn't worry, and sat behind the door with her, waiting quietly.

The thirteen-year-old boy seemed to have a maturity and poise far beyond his peers.

The bloodshot eyes in his eyes that appeared at the beginning because of the excitement of the reunion had quietly receded, and a pair of eyes were ancient and even a little empty.

"First, tell me about this journey."

Yu'er paused for a moment and asked.

"Sister, last year, Guanglin Mansion was hit by a locust plague, and our Pingshan Village did not escape."

"The worms ate all the food in the field, and then they started eating people."

"After a person is bitten, he has a high fever and will die within three to five days."

"No one dared to stay in Pingshan Village, and they all began to flee to Fucheng."

"But halfway through, we were caught up by a swarm of locusts, and my father and mother wrapped me tightly in their arms to protect me."

"By the time I came out, they were already dead."

Deng Weixian calmly recounted, as if it had happened to someone else, but warm tears had already silently crossed his cheeks.

But even if he was crying, he still had that cold expression.

Except for the faint smile that he faced Yu'er at the beginning, he was expressionless after that, even when he talked about sadness, he didn't see any waves.

"How can this be ......"

Yu'er heard that her father and mother were bitten alive by locusts, and she desperately covered her mouth but still cried.

"Later, I met by fate, all the way north, and came to the capital in the first snow, but I was penniless at the time, and I really had no way out, so I happened to meet the opportunity to enter the palace, so I ......"

Speaking of this, Deng Weixian's words were stagnant and he couldn't go on.

Even after a few months, he couldn't easily say the word "purification".

The knife that entered the palace cut off his only remaining dignity.

Yu'er also obviously understood the pain, and just about to comfort a few words, she heard Deng Weixian continue: "But fortunately, I entered the palace, otherwise I wouldn't have seen you, Sister." ”

"I heard someone mention you today, and I asked someone to inquire, and I thought it was you, so I came to confirm, I didn't expect that we would reunite here."

Where Yu'er was sold back then, the people of the Deng family didn't know at all, let alone Deng Weixian, who was younger at the time.

But fate is so wonderful, so that this pair of sisters and brothers can still get together even if they cross most of the dynasty.

"That's right, at least you still have a sister first, so you must live well, don't think about it."

Yu'er has been in the palace for so many years, and she has seen too many little eunuchs who have just entered the palace and hanged themselves because they couldn't see it.

When she saw that her brother was depressed now, she couldn't help but worry about him too.

"Sister, don't worry, I've seen you, how can I not think about it." Deng Weixian smiled reluctantly.

"That's good, that's good......"

Yu'er muttered, then touched her brother's head like when she was a child, and sighed: "I haven't seen you for a few years, but I'm already a little adult." ”

Deng Weixian's eyes warmed, and then he stood up: "Sister, I will be relieved to confirm that it is you, it is not early now, I have to go back first." ”

"By the way, it's almost curfew!"

Yu'er was startled, almost forgot about this stubble, and stood up anxiously holding on to the door.

But she was still a little weak in her legs, and her body was swaying and unstable, so Deng Weixian hurriedly helped her steady.

"First, where are you on an errand now? Can you still rush back? ”

Looking at the sky, it is estimated that there is only a pillar of incense less than the time from the time.

If you can't go back, you're going to be in trouble, how can Yu'er not be in a hurry.

"Sister, it's completely in time, don't worry about me. I'm still in the prison now, I just finished all my training today, and I'm going to be assigned an errand tomorrow, and I'll come back to you when I'm stable. ”

"I see."

Yu'er breathed a sigh of relief, the prison was not far from Jingyang Palace, and it was still too late to run back.

"Then you go back first, and don't mention it again about coming to me again!" Yu'er suddenly turned her face and said.

"Having contact with someone in the cold palace will only harm you, as long as my sister knows that you are still safe, it is enough."

It's not that Yu'er is ruthless, but that's the case.

In order to protect her brother, she would rather never see her again.

"Sister, I will avoid the eyes and ears of others, you don't have to worry about this."

Obviously, Deng Weixian didn't want to listen to Yu'er.

"Okay, sister, I'll come to see you next time."

After that, Deng Wei was about to open the door and leave, and as soon as half of his body leaned out of the door, he felt a tightness in his wrist.

Yu'er grabbed his wrist and instructed with teary eyes: "Then you have to remember that our relationship must not be known by others, otherwise you will definitely be implicated by me in the future." ”

"And remember!"

"I'd rather be clumsy, and never be too clever, you must remember it well."

If there is a choice, Yu'er really doesn't want her younger brother to enter the palace.

This deep palace inner courtyard is the most cool place for human nature.

Those of them who are subordinates will have to worry about their lives if they are not careful.

Regarding his sister's instructions, Deng Weixian nodded and said that he had written it down.

Looking at her younger brother's still immature face, although Yu'er still wanted to tell her a thousand words, she knew that she might suffer if she delayed it any longer, so she had to be ruthless, let go of her hand, and pushed her younger brother into the darkness outside the door.

"Remember, don't trust anyone!"

Yu'er gave her brother one last piece of advice, then leaned against the door, looking at the back of the rushing into the darkness.

From this moment on, she knew that there was another person to care about in the coldest place in the world.

But this concern will eventually be a weakness for each other in the future.
