Chapter 33: The Legend of Chu Qiao: Yuan Chun (6)

As his footsteps went deeper and deeper, Yuan Chun couldn't stand the invasion of gusts of cold wind one after another, wrapped himself in his pitiful clothes, and kept complaining in his heart: "I would have worn a few more pieces if I knew it!"

Another gust of cold wind rushed towards him, "Ahh

The faint moonlight slowly pierced through the mist and cast on the deserted courtyard, which had been overgrown with weeds because it had not been taken care of for a long time, and the walls were covered with turquoise creepers, and patches of moss climbed all over the stone steps, as if no one had lived in them for a long time.

But why did the door suddenly open in front of her in such a desolate and desolate place?

Just when Yuan Chun wanted to raise his feet and leave, a loud voice suddenly popped up in his mind.

[Di - look ahead.] The system is much like Yuan Chun's memory, without the slightest emotion, and it is still the cold mechanical sound.

Yuan Chun was startled by the system's big sudden sound, but fortunately, she covered her mouth with her hand in time, so she didn't scream.

This time, Yuan Chun did not doubt whether he was hallucinating, at this moment, the voice of the system was so real, Yuan Chun's erratic heart finally fell, and he said excitedly: "System is big, did you hear my pious prayers to save me?"

The system despises someone who is excited, and it seems to remember that someone has recited everything that the Jade Emperor and Jesus have, but not it.

Directly ignoring someone's starry eyes, he repeated once again [Di - look ahead. 】

Hearing another big prompt from the system, Yuan Chun was stunned, but fortunately, her brain reaction speed was not slow, and she knew that now was not the time to ask questions, so according to the system's big prompt, Yuan Chun raised her feet and walked forward again, only this time, without the slightest hesitation, neatly.

Four stone walls enclose a small courtyard, this small courtyard is divided into three, a main courtyard, a side courtyard, and a place for cooking, but this courtyard is dilapidated, and no one may dare to come in during the day, let alone at night. Yuan Chun was also very puzzled in his heart, a place like this was never mentioned in the plot at all, and it did not appear in the memory of the original owner, but the original owner was not familiar with the world since he was a child, so it is not surprising that he has never seen it......

By the moonlight, Yuan Chun has unconsciously walked to the side courtyard, Yuan Chun vaguely saw that there were several pieces of wood broken on the wood carved window, the inside of the window flashed faint candlelight, an old woman with a bent back was sitting alone at the table, she seemed to notice something, to the candle, poof, blow a breath, the candle went out, the curling smoke, slowly rising, like an immortal soul, the old woman looked at the candle for a while, and then she got up and walked out of the door.

Seeing the person coming towards the door, Yuan Chun screamed in his heart, and quickly glanced at the surrounding objects that could cover her figure, and it happened that there was a big tree in front of her, which was just right to cover her, and the moment the old woman pushed the door open, Yuan Chun also happened to hide behind the tree, and her heart was pounding.

The slaughter of early autumn is cold to the bone...... I couldn't help but shrink for a moment, and said with a little tiredness: "Is it autumn again?" I still remember the autumn of previous years, always traveling with him, smiling and smiling, but now? It's just that I am alone in this bleak situation.

The cold wind is still blowing for a while, and the old woman is standing in front of the door, and her eyes are full of sadness, Yuan Chun doesn't know how long that person will stay, with the mentality that the enemy will not move, and I will not move.

After a long time, the old woman took back all the sorrow in her eyes, turned to look at Yuanchun's hiding place, and slowly said, "Little girl, how long do you plan to hide?" The old woman's low voice seemed to float out hundreds of years ago, and was covered with a thick layer of dust after the baptism of time.

Yuan Chun plucked his ears in disbelief, still maintaining that motionless posture.

Seeing that there was still no movement behind the tree, the old woman raised her eyebrows, and said again: "Little girl, do you want me to invite you out in person?"

Yuan Chun, who was caught peeking twice, was very depressed at this time, and walked out from behind the tree with a displeased face, and his slightly complaining gaze fell on the old woman who was still standing at the door.

"You little girl, I haven't done anything to you, you just stare at me with such eyes, cough cough, do you know that no one has cared about this place for fifty years? I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, he didn't expect that he hadn't come to see me for more than fifty years, it was really ....." The old woman said in a voice with a sense of age, as if calmly recounting an old story, only sorrow, sadness......

Yuan Chun didn't speak, just stood there quietly, listening to the old woman's next narration, the old woman in front of her was dressed in plain clothes, three thousand green silk had already changed from black to white, the old woman pulled her hair into a bun, without any decoration, only inserted a wooden hairpin, under the illumination of the moonlight, faintly glowing silver.

Wonchun knew that she didn't need any words at this time, and all she had to do was listen quietly.

"I still remember that at that time, I was still a concubine who was loved by three thousand, and at that time, who was not in a hurry to curry favor with me, hum," said the old woman after a pause and smiled self-deprecatingly. Then he said: "In that year, Tuoba Jue established the Tuoba Dynasty of the Northern Wei Dynasty in Pingcheng. More than 50 years later, Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty unified the north, and it was more than 50 years for the Northern Wei imperial family Tuoba clan to change the surname "Tuoba clan" to "Yuan clan" in order to cater to Sinicization, cough cough..."Speaking of this, the old woman paused again, raised her eyes to look at Yuan Chun, who was still standing in front, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Knowing that Yuan Chun had no intention of leaving, he continued to speak: "During the Western Wei Dynasty, the Emperor Yuan Bao Torch of the Western Wei Dynasty, he was a shrewd and ruthless emperor in the imperial court, and he had three thousand beauties in his harem, but he stayed in my beautiful palace every night, how could I be unhappy.....

Although Yuan Chun was stunned by the old woman in the front, some important information was extracted from the pile of words in the back, the Yuan Bao Torch of the Western Wei Dynasty, and Yuwentai established his eldest son Yuan Qin as the emperor after his death. Because Yuan Qin spent all day drinking and had no intention of government, after another three years, his fourth son Yuan Kuo was appointed as the emperor, and Yuan Kuo was the scumbag father of the original owner, so the old woman in front of her also had a continuous relationship with her.

"Heh, who wouldn't know the intrigues of the harem, but at that time I was stupid to think that he really loved me, but I never thought that he was using me for all this he did, so that later, I was pregnant with his child, framed by other palace concubines, not only disfigured, but also miscarried, since then, he beat me into the cold palace, until today's ......"

A pain that could not be hidden, and the sound of heartbreak filled the entire courtyard, the old woman reached out and stroked a wrinkled face, Yuan Chun also gradually saw a hideous scar on the old woman's face by the moonlight, and couldn't help but be shocked.

"I have been in this cold palace for fifty years, and I have studied a disguise technique, I have also practiced martial arts since I was a child, but I don't want to leave this deep palace, in order to see him for the last time, I didn't think that after so many years, the disguise mask has been worn for decades, and now I am old and old, how ugly can I be. ”

After the old woman finished speaking, she turned around and was about to walk into the house, when Yuan Chun, who was silent on the side, suddenly said, "You don't have to wait!"

When the old woman heard Yuan Chun's words, she turned around and asked, "Why?"

Yuan Chun glanced at the bleak courtyard, then at the old woman, and replied, "Grandpa Huang is long gone. ”

"You... What are you talking about!" The old woman's eyes widened in disbelief.

This... How could it be, how could he be one step ahead of her.... I thought I could see him before I died, but now even this is a luxury.

She has been staying at home in this cold palace for decades, and every day she lives on the vegetables she grows, but she is afraid that when the emperor dies, all the concubines and servants will have to be buried together, and she is the only one who has been spared because she has been forgotten. I really don't know if she should thank him, or should she blame him?

After a while, the old woman came back to her senses, looked at Yuan Chun with a somewhat complicated expression, and said in a low voice: "Girl, you come in with me first." ”

Won-chun blinked and hesitated for a moment before making up his mind to follow.
