11 Chapter 11
Li Wenjian looked at Zhao Xuan's watery eyes, trying to see a look of wanting to catch away.
But no, her eyes were clean and clear.
But at this moment, her gaze revealed an indestructible firmness, and the brilliance she exuded was charming.
"You don't want to stay in the East Palace?" Li Wenjian spoke.
The wound on the back of Zhao's hand itched again, and her fingertips trembled, but she forcibly suppressed the urge to scratch it. When the wound is healing, you should not touch it casually, otherwise it will hurt more severely.
"It's not." Zhao Yu's heart beat like a drum, and he lowered his head again, not daring to look at Li Wen anymore.
"Why is that?" Li Wenjian asked.
Even though Zhao Yu bowed his head, he could also feel the oppression of his slow approach. His breath was overwhelming, like an impenetrable net, enveloping her tightly, almost making her breathless. The hands in her sleeves clenched unconsciously, and her knuckles turned white.
"I am as humble as dust, and I dare not covet the beauty of pearls." Zhao Yu finally spoke in a low voice.
Not only the East Palace, but all the dignitaries.
No one can protect her for the rest of her life, she can only protect herself. The East Palace is the largest whirlpool in the whole world, she knows that she is cheap, she has neither the strength to break the waves and move forward, nor the ability to retreat from the torrent.
Li Wenjian's eyes fell on her slightly bent back, and she gently lifted the hem of her skirt, as if she was afraid of staining the slightly hard material, and then knelt in front of him and said: "I know that I am humble, and I dare not ask to serve His Royal Highness the Prince." My parents died when I was a child, and my grandmother depended on each other, and I entered the palace to ask for a mouthful of food to satisfy my stomach and ask for a piece of clothing to cover my body. The grandmother outside the palace is old and still waiting for me to leave the palace for reunion. Your Royal Highness Kuanren, please allow me to go out of the palace to support my grandmother for the elderly, and when she returns to the West in a hundred years, I will go to Qingxu Nunnery to become a monk and practice. Please also ask Your Highness to fulfill it. ”
The corners of Li Wenjian's lips raised slightly, and he asked, "Would you rather cut your hair as a nun than stay in the East Palace?" ”
Zhao's heart jumped heavily, and finally raised his face to look at him, and nodded ruthlessly.
"Okay." Li Wenjian agreed very happily: "I will send you out of the palace." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Yu raised her eyes and looked into Li Wenjian's eyes, they only saw a few faces, and her shallow understanding of him made her unable to distinguish his joy and anger. But she felt that Li Wenjian had no reason to coax her.
After a while, she sincerely blessed him: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your success." ”
Zhao Yu retired, Li Wenjian looked at her departing figure, and did not have too many emotional ups and downs.
He didn't have to stay.
He was ashamed and pitiful to her, but he had no admiration and love.
She said he had the beauty of a pearl.
But whenever he faced her, he felt ashamed.
Even though her face was calm and her eyes were soft, she looked at him without any edge; His eyes always showed her hazy tearful eyes, and her moonlit eyes were full of despair in her charm.
Therefore, he is willing to fulfill her, let her seek kindness, and also fulfill himself.
Zhao Yu had a wound on her hand, so she didn't have to go to the medicine room to work, she lay down with her clothes, but unfortunately she never felt sleepy after tossing and turning, but sighed silently.
In the end, he simply got up and began to prepare the things needed to make shoes for Bai Yu.
She has nothing to worry about in the palace, because she has no intention of clinging, she doesn't know many people, and even fewer are good friends. Only Lianzhou and Bing Tao, who were in the same room, could say a few words, and in addition, there was only one white elm.
Xu is very rare to be treated sincerely, and Zhao Yu cherishes Bai Yu's sincerity even more.
But she knew that she shouldn't have all those thoughts in the past, and she had to put them all away. Because of Li Wenjian, it is impossible for her to remarry in this life.
She felt very uncomfortable.
Bai Yu's intentions for her, she saw it in her eyes.
It's impossible for them, even if she leaves the palace, it's no longer possible.
If he doesn't cut it off sooner or later, I'm afraid it will hurt him.
Even if you can't say goodbye properly, you should meet him, give him the shoes, and pass on her modest heart to him; At most, it was ten days, and she had survived ten years, and she didn't care about a few days.
Therefore, when Qin Zhao came to ask her when she planned to leave in the afternoon, she said that the affairs of the Huanyi Office still needed time to be handed over, and she would be allowed to stay in the palace for about half a month.
Qin Zhao was ordered to clean up the Changqiu Hall for Zhao to live in the morning, and in the afternoon he received an order from Li Wenjian, asking him to go to Jiuyue Mountain to find a clean Zhuangzi, clean up and prepare to take Zhao Zhao's ancestors and grandsons over.
Between half a day, there is a world of difference.
——
Zhao Yu had an injury on her hand, and Yun Feng asked her to go back to the palace first at night.
The time was too rushed, so Zhao Yu hurriedly said goodbye to Hui Niang and left.
The splendid palace lights are lit up one after another, the gray sky is pressed with layers of dark clouds, and the brilliance of the sunset has been dissipated, as if a coming spring rain is brewing.
After Zhao Yu returned to the palace, he went to Mama Chen's house first.
It happened that Poria was in Mama Chen's house, and the aunt and nephew didn't know what they were talking about, but when they saw Zhao Yu entering, Poria glanced at Zhao Yu with displeasure, and snorted softly and said goodbye.
Zhao turned a blind eye, and retired after reporting these hours of work as usual.
Poria sat under Mama Chen's head, watching Zhao Yu leave with cold eyes, and the skirt danced between the lotus steps, with a beautiful gait.
remembered the jokes of the palace maids in Surili, saying that Zhao Yu was the pearl that fell into the Huanyi room. She rolled her eyes and exclaimed, "Why is she so lucky?" ”
Mama Chen carefully looked at Poria's expression. His niece, who is also easy to educate, said directly: "Whatever you want, don't recruit her." ”
"Why?" Poria was not convinced.
"Because I won't."
"Auntie, you're eccentric!" Poria was angry: "Did you know that His Royal Highness was going to the Guogong Mansion this time, so you agreed to let her go?" The opportunity to appear in front of His Highness was given to her? Auntie, don't forget who is your niece! ”
Mama Chen has a headache, she knows this niece very well, after her brother's father died, Poria entered the palace, and she has always been sheltered by her, and she has lived a very nourishing life in the raccoon clothes, but this conscienceless person actually said such a thing, and immediately slapped the table angrily: "Bastard thing, at that time, it was you who said that you refused to serve Grandpa Guo, and you asked me to change someone." Now it is not pleasant to come to me. ”
Poria was yelled at by her, and her eyes were hot.
She heard that His Royal Highness personally went to the Anguo Mansion to serve the sick, and many of the palace maids he brought showed their faces in front of him this time, and she was feeling uncomfortable, and she went to Mama Chen to make a fuss for a while. As soon as Zhao Yu came back, her aunt yelled at her again, and she became more and more depressed.
"Go back and think about whether you should talk to me like that!" Mama Chen is also angry.
Poria pursed her lips and went back to her room sullenly with crimson eyes.
Mama Chen's brain suddenly hurt.
She asked Poria not to provoke Zhaoyun for her own reasons, all for her own good.
When Zhao Yu entered the palace, the palace maids with a slightly flat head and straight face were asked to leave elsewhere, and only Zhao Yu with a round head and a big face was left for her.
Later, Zhao Yu didn't know how to grow, and the swelling slowly subsided, and gradually came out to look like a flower.
At that time, she was only ten years old, but her eyebrows already had the rudiments of beauty.
Mama Chen has been in the palace for more than 20 years, and she has not made any name in the harem for many years. Seeing Zhao Xuan, she had a bad thought.
She hid Zhaoyu, spoiled her and got used to her, and let her live a life where her fingers did not touch the spring water. After a few years of raising, the beauty has a slender waist and a slender hand, and her eyes are like water.
Mama Chen decided to give her to Jiang Jin, the most powerful eunuch in the new dynasty.
She thought that Zhao Yu had followed her for four years, all of them were well-behaved and docile, and she would go to Jiang Jin obediently as she wished. However, Zhao Yu was extremely strong, went on a hunger strike for seven days, did not eat a drop of rice, and would rather die than serve Jiang Jin.
However, Mama Chen coaxed her for four years, was the person she trusted the most, knew all her tricks and weaknesses, so she threatened her grandmother that if she was disobedient, Jiang Jin would kill her grandmother; If she is willing to go and serve Jiang Jin well, she will definitely soar.
She lied to her, Jiang Jin was a pervert, and no woman liked to get out of his bed alive.
He never pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, he has endless beauties.
She thought that Zhao Yu was going to die.
Unexpectedly, one day Jiang Jin suddenly collapsed, all his henchmen were imprisoned, and their homes were raided.
During that time, Mama Chen was frightened and couldn't sleep at night, for fear that one day others would find out that she had sent a palace maid to her in order to cling to Jiang Jin.
She waited desperately for the moment when the knife would fall on her head.
But she waited and waited, and finally waited for a palace man to lead Zhao Yu back.
She's alive! Not only was he alive, but when His Royal Highness's people checked it, they only said that they were sent to Jiang Jin to cook medicine, and they did not recruit the matter of Mama Chen's dedication to beauty.
Mama Chen didn't know how Zhao Yu survived from the cruel and vicious Jiang Jin, but she knew that the little girl who had been respectful and flattering to her for more than four years sneaked into her room at night, faded into her meek, like a wild wolf in a lonely mountain, and put a sharpened hairpin against her throat, and her voice was immature and cruel: "If Mama wants to live, she will rot that thing in her stomach." ”
Looking at the back of Poria cocos running away, Mama Chen seemed to think of the cold touch of the sharpened hairpin against her neck, and couldn't help but shiver.
How old was Zhao at that time? Fourteen? Or thirteen? She doesn't remember much. In short, a few years younger than Poria now.
But her forbearance and courage, Poria cocos can't grow for another twenty years.
Zhao Yu is a wolf cub who has fallen asleep.
Over the years, the wolf cub has been dangling in front of her, making her breathless all the time, making her sit on pins and needles every day.
Fortunately, she will be out of the palace next year, and she can finally catch her breath.
Finally, fortunately, fortunately.
Mama Chen pressed the corner of her forehead, picked up the tea cup on the desk that was almost cold, and took a sip.
Zhao Yu returned to his residence, and Lianzhou was putting away the stove. It's already spring, and the stove is not needed in this weather, so it's a nuisance in the house. Hearing the footsteps, she turned around and saw Zhao Xuan, and called out happily, "Are you back?" ”
Her gaze lowered and fell on her gauze-bandaged hand, and she frowned: "Why is it hurt?" ”
Zhao Yu smiled and put down his burden, and said softly: "I accidentally burned it, and if it doesn't get in the way, I have already smeared the medicine." ”
"I'll see." Lianzhou walked over, gently untied the gauze, and saw a large shocking wound, and frowned: "Why is it so bad?" ”
Zhao Yu said that it was okay: "It just happened to be so hot that it was chilblains, and the broken skin was bleeding pus, which looked serious, but it didn't hurt much." ”
Lianzhou blamed herself: "It's all my fault, if it weren't for giving me leave, Mama Chen wouldn't let you out of the palace." ”
"Okay, I've got something for you, where's the ice peach?" Zhao Yu patted the back of her hand lightly, changed the topic, looked around, and saw the figure of the ice peach.
Lianzhou said: "In the afternoon, Poria called her away. ”
Zhao Yu frowned: "She is embarrassing you again?" ”
Lianzhou shook his head and let out a smile: "She has been suffering from dysentery these days, and she can't wait to live in a thatched house, so she doesn't have the time to embarrass us." It was for her to move the materials for the spring clothes. ”
"If you are a powerful person every day, this time you will be retributed." Lianzhou laughed.
Zhao Yu also smiled lightly.
