Chapter 43: The Soul Also Has Troubles
Dongzi took the spirit all the way to the roof of a farmhouse outside the [Jingchu Valley], and the white spirit hall was set up in the courtyard of the family, and the linen and filial piety were cried from the soft intestines and rain, and the mourning was sad.
Qian Ling knew Dongzi's intention in bringing her here, although she felt guilty in her heart, but she asked lightly on her face, "What are you bringing me here for?" β
Dongzi turned his head to look at her, his eyes overflowing with deep disappointment, "Do you still want to ask me?" β
"I don't know what that means, of course I'm going to ask you." Tilting shrugged his shoulders.
Dongzi was angry, and left directly with her, and went to a few more houses, all crying sadly.
Ling Ling finally couldn't pretend to be indifferent anymore, and Dongzi carried her back to the small river in the [Jingchu Valley].
"Is the Eagle Gang the secret cultivation force of your royal family?" Dongzi asked straight to the point.
Tilting frowned, "What Eagle Gang?" β
"You don't even know about the Eagle Gang?" Dongzi looked at her in disbelief, and when she saw her puzzled face, she couldn't help but wonder, did she really not know? It's also possible to think about it, she's just a girl's family after all.
"Then why are you pouring flour into the Guling Lake?"
"I'll feed the fish."
"You think I'm going to believe your words?"
"You don't believe it, and I have the same answer, but it's strange that you don't believe me, so why do you ask so much? If you really think I did it, do you think I'll admit it? β
"......" Dongzi glared at her and didn't answer for a long time.
Oh, yes! Since I doubt her from the bottom of my heart, I don't believe her words, so why do you have to do more? She really did it, and she won't admit it.
"Heyβyou're leaving me here alone?" As she watched Dongzi disappear into the night, she swept around in fear, it was dark everywhere, and those cries just now seemed to be ringing in her ears at this moment.
She pulled up the hem of her skirt and ran towards the courtyard with her life as she died.
Ever since the water of Guling Lake was poisoned, the spirit has become reticent, and often thinks of something. Dongzi did not appear by her side again, and he was no longer on the roof beam.
Under the conditioning of Rong Zhi, Xia Xiaoyu's fetus has been stabilized, and all the poisons in the tiger girl's body have been cleared. Baili Huaqing and Rong Zhi talked secretly for one night, and the next day, Rong Zhi announced that his wandering was over and that he would settle in [Jingchu Valley] in the future.
Guling Mountain is suitable for planting medicinal herbs, Baili Huaqing let people open up the wasteland, sort out the medicine fields, and plant herbs in the spring of the next year. Xia Xiaoyu didn't have the ability to do it, so he promised to take care of the cultivation of medicinal seedlings at that time.
The land cultivation reform also proceeded smoothly, and under the double temptation of rent-free and silver supplements, the people signed tripartite agreements between the government, business, and farmers, and Anseong was lively from top to bottom.
Baili Country, Kyoto, Bongan Fortress, Imperial Palace.
In the imperial garden, a hundred flowers are blooming, Liu Guifei sits in the pavilion by the lake and strokes the piano, the sound of the piano is excellent, her eyes are blurred, the corners of her mouth are smiling, and she seems to be intoxicated with sweet memories.
Suddenly, the sound of the piano became harsh, and with a bang, the strings snapped, and a bloody cut was cut on her slender jade finger.
The palace maids serving next to her rushed up, looking panicked, and Concubine Liu's henchman Mama Zhong immediately wrapped her fingers with a handkerchief, and hurriedly ordered the palace maids on the side, "Don't go to the imperial doctor quickly." β
"Yes, Mama." The palace maid responded and hurriedly turned around, but collided with the eunuch who came in a hurry.
"Ouchβ"
Mama Zhong glared angrily, but after seeing a familiar face, her expression turned to surprise, "Lotus, why did you come back from Ancheng?" β
Hearing the news, Concubine Liu looked outside the pavilion and frowned, "Lotus, without the password of the palace, why did you come back privately?" β
The lotus pounced and knelt down, crawled into the pavilion on her knees, kowtowed, and responded: "Back to Niangniang's words, Lotus has betrayed Niangniang's trust and has not done good things for Niangniang." Recently, a person came to the courtyard, and this person not only ruined the mother's affairs, but also drove the lotus out of the courtyard. β
When Liu Guifei heard this, she immediately asked, "But that slut named Xia Xiaoyu?" β
"Mother, you already know?" Lotus looked at Concubine Liu in surprise.
Concubine Liu clenched her fists, her face became hideous because of anger, and she coldly squeezed a sentence from her teeth, "Slut, she actually instigated the prince to ask for marriage?" β
Lotus quickly glanced at Concubine Liu, sneered in her heart, and continued to add fuel and vinegar: "Niangniang doesn't know, that person appeared strangely with a face exactly the same as the former princess. and instigated the little county lord to call her mother, and the slave maid felt that she must have bad intentions. The slave maid secretly stumbled on her, but every time she was in danger of surviving. Later, she probably saw the slave's intentions, and she instigated the prince to send the slave and maid. β
"It's useless to blame you!" Liu Guifei swept away coldly, and her angry face was terrifying.
The lotus hung her head and didn't dare to speak again.
Mama Zhong wrapped Liu Guifei's fingers with a handkerchief, motioned to the palace maid to take the piano away, and then smiled to comfort Liu Guifei, "Don't be angry, Niangniang!" There are a lot of eyes and ears here, and we can't leave anything in the hands of others. β
Concubine Liu was stunned, and the expression on her face became calm, smiling, as if nothing had happened just now, and she had been sitting here comfortably blowing the breeze and enjoying the scenery.
Mama Zhong took the tea brought by the palace maid and handed it to Concubine Liu, "Niangniang, let's take a sip of tea first, the imperial doctor will be here soon." β
Liu Guifei took the teacup, stretched out her hand and gently plucked the floating leaves on the tea soup, but her lazy expression was elegant and noble. Lotus couldn't help but lose her mind, thinking to herself that such a big beauty, why couldn't Baili Huaqing look down on it at the beginning?
"Lotus, you go down to rest first, and I'll call you back if there's something." Liu Guifei took a shallow sip of tea soup, lowered her head and gracefully plucked the floating leaves.
Mama Zhong immediately instructed the eunuch who led the lotus flower in, "Xiao Anzi, you send the lotus out of the palace and set her a place to live outside, if there is anything, Niang Niang will tell her." β
"Yes, Mama." Xiao Anzi should be, turned his head to look at the lotus, "Sister Lotus, let's go." β
Lotus's heart chuckled, she was full of confidence to stay in the palace, and now it seems that she is holding up. She looked at Mama Zhong and saw that the other party was smiling, while Liu Guifei kept lowering her head and plucking the floating leaves, and she didn't look at her.
Is this a renunciation of oneself?
Lotus said with difficulty, "Yes, the slave has thanked Niangniang." Her legs were as heavy as a thousand catties, and she followed Xiao Anzi out of the palace step by step.
Smack-
After the lotus left, Liu Guifei hatefully lifted the teacup and smashed it to the ground, looking at the direction where the lotus left with a cold gaze, "Mama Zhong, I only believe in a kind of person who can't speak, after you find out her purpose, let her disappear immediately." β
"Don't be angry with this kind of person, it's not worth it."
"It's against Bengong Yin and Yang, and she wants to climb into his bed in vain, does she really think that Bengong is a big fool?"
Mama Zhong glanced around vigilantly, lowered her voice, and said, "Niangniang, this is the Imperial Garden, you must be more at ease." β
Concubine Liu clenched her fists, "Mama, you must help me." β
"Niangniang, no matter what your decision is, Mama will be on your side. If you have anything to do, just tell Mama, that is. Mama Zhong looked at Concubine Liu with a distressed face, she used to be a simple girl, but for love, she sent herself into the big dye vat of the harem.
Mama Zhong is Liu Guifei's nurse, watching her grow up, she also knows her changes, and understands her heart even more. It's because she knows everything, so she feels sorry for her even more.
In this harem, all she can do is not let her hands get bloody, and she will clean up every obstacle on the road ahead for Liu Guifei.
She treats Concubine Liu like her daughter, giving everything she has, and she won't frown. Even if one day, the emperor will take her life, she will be willing.
Liu Guifei had red eyes, looked at Mama Zhong, and said coquettishly: "Nurse, only you are the best for me." β
A milk lady made Mama Zhong's heart hot.
At night, Liu Guifei just came out of a flower bath, with warm hair, wearing a rose-red undershirt and a snow-white long gauze coat on the outside, she leaned lazily on the chaise longue, like a cute kitten, with an indescribable sexiness all over her body.
The two palace maids took dry cotton cloths and gently wiped her hair.
There are also two palace maids beside her, who are seriously helping her dye her bright red Kodan. Her fingers are white and tender without losing the flesh, and Emperor Wen often holds her hand in private, saying, "This is the most beautiful hand he has ever seen." β
Concubine Liu's gaze gradually blurred, frowning slightly, like a lost child.
When Emperor Wen Sidi came in and saw this scene, he immediately felt a strong desire to protect himself from the bottom of his heart. When the palace maids saw Emperor Wen Si coming in, they wanted to salute, but under a gesture from Emperor Wen Si, they came out silently.
Emperor Wen Sidi walked over, took the dry cotton cloth on the side, and gently wiped her hair, seeing that Liu Guifei was intoxicated with his presence in the world, and did not notice his arrival at all, he silently curled his lips and smiled, suddenly teasing.
The cotton cloth in his hand was lightly put aside, and Emperor Wen Si stretched out his hand from behind him, and Concubine Liu was immediately frightened, and shouted: "Presumptuous! Where did you want to die? Aren't you afraid that the emperor will kill you? β
She wanted to turn her head to look at the other party, but the other party stretched out his head from behind and blocked her red lips.
Tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, Liu Guifei reached out to grab the other party's hair in a hurry, Wen Sidi quickly grabbed her hand, withdrew from her lips, looked at her with a smile, and said, "Aifei, I miss you for my life now." As he spoke, his eyes were hot on her, and his words were full of ambiguity.
"Your Majesty?"
Concubine Liu was dumbfounded, when did Emperor Wen Sidi come in? Why didn't anyone sue her?
Emperor Wen Sidi hooked his lips and blinked, and a wicked smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth. Concubine Liu only felt that her body was in the air, and in the blink of an eye, she was already sitting on Emperor Wen Si's body, and he took his place and lay on the chair.
"Aifei, do you feel it?"
"Huh?" Concubine Liu was dumbfounded, she hadn't recovered from the fright just now.
Emperor Wen Si saw that she was stunned, and felt even more cute, and as soon as her waist straightened, Concubine Liu's eyes widened, and her face was so ashamed that she wanted to drip blood.
That's what he meant.
"Aifei, I'm waiting." Emperor Wen Si reminded her ambiguously, seeing that her face was red and she didn't know what to do, he couldn't restrain herself.
Liu Guifei moved her body uneasily, but heard Emperor Wen Sidi gasp, staring at her like a hungry beast, which might tear her apart at any time and swallow it into her stomach one bite at a time.
"The Emperor's ......"
Outside the palace, the palace maids listened to the movement inside, and they all blushed and their hearts were beating.
It was the first time they had heard such a big movement.
This night, Emperor Wen Si stayed in the palace of the concubine for the first time, and he went to court directly from there. The people outside stood under the eaves for a night, and the movement inside did not stop for a night, and when they sent away Emperor Wen Si, who was full of spring breeze, Mama Zhong immediately led the palace maids in.
There was still a blushing smell in the palace, and Mama Zhong commanded the blushing palace maid to carry hot water, standing in front of the bed and looking at Liu Guifei, who was extremely tired and asleep, and her clothes were not neat, and called softly: "Niangniang, the slave will help you to take a bath and activate your blood." β
Liu Guifei's exposed arms were full of red spots, and so was the jade neck. It can be seen how crazy Emperor Wen Sidi was all night.
"Mama, I'm so tired that I don't want to move." Concubine Liu was so tired that she didn't even want to lift her eyelids.
Mama Zhong was distressed and happy, and coaxed softly: "Niangniang, soak in hot water for a while, and you can sleep more soundly." β
"Okay!"
β¦β¦
Emperor Wen Si went down to the court, and immediately rushed to [Ganquan Palace], followed by more than a dozen palace maids with breakfast.
"Aifei, I'm here to have breakfast with you, okay?"
"The concubine greets the emperor." Concubine Liu bowed softly and weakly, bowing her head, revealing the red spots on her jade neck. Emperor Wen Si looked at it, and the taste of **** last night came to his mind again.
He stepped forward, picked up Concubine Liu, and took her in his arms.
ordered someone to set down breakfast, and he waved his hand away from the palace maid and eunuch, leaving only the two of them together. Concubine Liu was stunned in her heart, it tasted good last night, but after a long time, her body couldn't stand it.
Thinking of the faint pain now, she hurriedly pulled Wen Sidi to the table.
"Your Majesty, let the concubine serve you for breakfast."
Emperor Wen Sidi didn't miss the cowardice in her eyes, thinking that he was really tired of her last night, so he took her in his arms lovingly, and put a piece of snack on her, "I tired you last night, now I'll feed you." β
Concubine Liu has always been quiet and weak, and she has always been silent in the backyard of the palace. Emperor Wen Sidi felt that the real her was hiding behind the fog, so he became curious, and if the fog did not blow away, he still had a strong desire to conquer her.
Emperor Wen Sidi felt that such a woman would not do everything possible to get close to him if she didn't use means in the palace, and such a woman was an alternative being.
He wanted to conquer her and see what kind of person she really was.
If Concubine Liu knew that she was not here with Emperor Wen Si, but let Emperor Wen Si fall in love, she didn't know whether to be happy or worried?
After the two of them finished their breakfast, the palace maids came in to clean up, brought freshly brewed tea, and came out again, and the palace was restored to peace. Emperor Wen Si couldn't put it down and grabbed Liu Guifei's hand to play, Liu Guifei raised her eyebrows and looked at him, and when she saw him looking thoughtful, she asked, "Your Majesty, but what's upset?" β
Emperor Wen Sidi came back to his senses and smiled at her, "My beloved concubine finally knows to care about my heart, it's really gratifying." β
Hearing this, Liu Guifei's expression was stunned, and she was about to struggle to kneel down in a panic, but Emperor Wen Sidi held her down and asked lightly, "What's wrong?" β
"Your Majesty, the concubines are not serving well and want to ask for guilt." A pair of bright eyes panicked, Emperor Wen Si looked at it and sighed, and took her into his arms, "What's wrong with the concubine?" I'm really happy, don't be like this, concubine. Today, I do have something on my mind. I received a letter from my uncle, and he mentioned the reform of land cultivation, which was a good thing, but I was a little worried. β
"If it's a good thing, why should the emperor worry?" Concubine Liu suppressed her excitement and looked up at Emperor Wen Si gently.
Finally, she could hear the news about Baili Huaqing from the mouth of Emperor Wen Si, and what she was looking forward to every day was a qiΔ about Baili Huaqing.
Emperor Wen Sidi smiled a little bitterly, "Concubine Ai doesn't know anything, in terms of talent, courage, and opinions, Uncle Huang has always been stronger than me." Back then, the emperor intended to pass on the throne to the emperor's uncle, and the emperor's uncle was not a person without great ambitions, and his refusal was entirely for the sake of fulfilling me. Uncle Huang and I grew up together, and we have a good relationship. β
Speaking of this, the smile on the corner of Emperor Wen Sidi's mouth gradually warmed, and Concubine Liu asked with interest: "In the hearts of the concubines, the emperor is the best man in the world. As she spoke, she hung her head shyly, but another handsome face came to mind.
