Chapter 135: Lying in Silence
[In the seventy-first year of the Great Qiankang Dynasty, the fourth day of the fourth month of April, Youshi, Tsing Yi Wei Zhao Prison, and the No. 11 cell of Jiazi]
Xu Ke himself locked himself in the edict prison, and most of the day had passed in a blink of an eye.
At noon, Ding Chunqiu personally brought Xu Ke's share of "A Meal" to the cell. Xu Ke saw it, although he blamed Ding Datou for a few words on the surface, saying that he was a "guilty and serving a prison sentence" at the moment, and he deserved to eat a bowl of prison rice, but secretly, he still finished the "A meal" happily.
Ding Chunqiu's care of this old boss is not intimate, not only ordered someone to carefully clean the cell, but all the things needed for daily life are properly arranged, seeing that there are still some decent blankets, scarves, stoves, mattresses and other things missing in the cell, he simply paid out of his own pocket and went to Chang'an East City to buy them one by one, and carefully arranged them for Xu Ke.
In this way, although this No. 11 cell is in the terrifying edict, the scenery inside is comparable to the upper room in the Yunqi Inn, or, the furnishings in it, even better.
Naturally, when it was time for dinner, Ding Chunqiu personally served a "Tsing Yi Weijia Meal" belonging to thousands of households. Xu Ke saw that Ding Chunqiu had to bow down to himself in his service, and he couldn't bear it, so he said You are now a school captain, why do you have to do everything yourself, and call a guard to bring it, isn't it?
Ding Chunqiu shook his head again and again, and said again and again, it is a supreme honor to have this opportunity to serve the Lord of Qianhu today, and those guards are not very nimble, of course, he needs to do it himself.
Xu Ke nodded and smiled.
After the unitary hour, the prison guards changed shifts, and Ding Chunqiu also went home from duty, and there was a temporary cleansing in the cell. Xu Ke finished dinner, leaned back on the head of the bed, couldn't help but be stunned, and secretly recalled all kinds of past events......
The first thing Xu Ke thought of was not Mingyue, not Jiaojiao, not Hu Yiyi, not Murong Yan, but Yao Zibei, who was in the middle of his Xu Mansion and was "recuperating".
In the past few days, he often can't help retching when he sees Xiaobei, not only his face is not good, but his mood seems to be worse, and he can't help but worry.
Listening to Hu Yiyi's words, Xiaobei has been pregnant for nearly two months, during this time, Xiaobei has no appetite for food during the day, and always can't sleep at night.
Several times, when he saw Xiaobei coming towards him, he looked sad, and he couldn't help but want to say comfort, but when he came to his mouth, he still couldn't speak.
How can he comfort an unmarried and pregnant person? What's more, the child in Xiaobei's womb is still raped. I'm afraid that the best consolation is not to say anything about comfort.
Hu Yiyi also persuaded him many times, maybe everything is destiny! Since Xiaobei insists on giving birth to a child, we can only follow her wishes, her poor appetite and bad mood at the moment are also reasonable, so Xu Ke does not have to worry too much.
Fortunately, there is such a worldly miracle doctor as Hu Yiyi in the Xu Mansion, and under Hu Yiyi's careful treatment, Xiaobei can finally eat some food a little, and his health will not be too bad.
It's just that what kind of life should Xiaobei's future be?
Xu Ke suddenly remembered that today was the fourth day of the fourth month of April, and according to Sister Hu's arrangement, this day was the wedding date between him and Yao Zibei.
"Although Sister Hu is kind, but she still didn't expect that today I, Xu Ke, are already in prison, I'm afraid, even if Xiaobei is willing, this marriage will still not be done!"
Xu Ke couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, he once again remembered the wheel of life he was in at this moment.
In the 12th line of life in Jiazi, the marriage between himself and Yao Zibei has been agreed, but because of the great change in the first day of June, the marriage date was delayed until ten years later. And in this eight-line life wheel, it was also Hu Yiyi who agreed to marry, but Yao Zibei resolutely refused to agree.
Not only did Yao Zibei refuse to agree, but he was already in prison on the day he got married, it seems that in this wheel of life, his marriage with Xiaobei is still difficult to achieve, but the reasons in the middle are different.
The reasons are different, but the results are the same, although they are two life wheels, it seems that there is also some kind of connection, it seems that the change of fate is really incomprehensible!
He was in the Divine King Pavilion, and after all, the time he traveled through was not long, and there was no way to know at this time, in that wheel of life, what was Yao Zibei's situation back then? And in that wheel of life, did he also go to prison because of a top brand in a green building......
Fate is always full of all kinds of accidents inadvertently, and no one can tell whether this kind of accident is right or wrong, whether it should be so, or because of mistakes, and mortals in the wheel of fate are always unable to escape the fiddling of fate, and who can escape?
Just like he locked himself in prison at the moment, this step by step is also helpless, how can he choose it?
He didn't care about Mingyue's case, and after listening to Nangong Buyu's persuasion, he no longer wanted to go to Yang Wenyuan for a review, but because he was entrusted by Hu Yiyi that night, he rushed to Nan'an Pingsi to ask about the case on the second day.
So, he saw Mingyue and knew Mingyue's grievances, even if he made up his mind to save people, but he thought of many ways, but he still couldn't change the mind of the Son of Heaven.
Time is pressing, he only has to go dangerous, in the early dynasty of Hanyuan Palace, in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, the King of Han opened a brothel privately to reveal it, although relying on the help of King Wei, finally let the Son of Heaven pardon Mingyue, but he also offended the Son of Heaven because of it, as Qiu Mingli said, in order to save Mingyue, he put himself in.
Now, the three-day period has arrived, although the Son of Heaven has no edict, but after all, the edict comes first, if he does not take the initiative to enter the edict, he will also resist the edict and disobey it.
At this time, he stayed in the cell, although the conditions were quite acceptable, but after all, his identity had been reduced to a "prisoner". How can it be my own wish to come to this point? Isn't all this also a manipulation of fate?
Xu Ke's mind lit up, and he suddenly remembered that when he was on March 26, he met an old man who was divining a hexagram with Nangong Buyu in Chang'an East City, and the old man broke a "sheng" hexagram for him.
Sure enough, it was only less than ten days before the disaster of imprisonment had already befallen him.
It seems that all this is still fate!
If not, how could the old man assert that he would be imprisoned based on a mere hexagram?
I'm afraid that if I go back to that time again, I still can't believe that in less than ten days, the old man's prophecy has come true!
So, what do I have to worry about?
After Xu Ke figured this out, his heart became more calm.
If everything is caused by fate and there is no escape, then we might as well accept our fate calmly!
The old man replied: "From the ninety-third to the 'void' promotion, to the sixty-fifth 'promotion', there are two lines in the middle, if you count according to the days, it should be 2918!"
Looks like I'm going to have to spend eighteen days in this prison!
Xu Ke smiled bitterly again. When he said goodbye to Hu Yiyi, he also comforted the other party, hoping that after staying for three or five days, he would come out to meet her, but now that he thinks about it, he will have to stay for more than half a month! This is what he did not expect.
"If I knew this was the case, I should have brought a few more books...... Xu Ke thought so, leaning on the bed, and suddenly felt a wave of sleepiness attack, he gradually closed his eyelids and fell asleep.
......
......
I don't know how long it took, Xu Ke seemed to hear a beautiful and familiar voice ringing in his ears in his drowsy sleep:
"Lord Xu, Mingyue sees you're here!"
"Mingyue, isn't Mingyue in the inn?" Xu Ke rubbed his sleepy eyes and sat up slowly, as if he felt that he was dreaming.
How could I dream of the bright moon?" Xu Ke shook his head, and smiled bitterly again.
