Eastern Palace

Chapter 8

Views:

The Xiaohuang Gate led me to the place where Dao Xuniang lived. It was a secluded palace. It was the first time I saw that man named Xuniang. She was lying on the bed with a sick face, but it could still be seen that she was supposed to be beautiful. The palace servant who was waiting for her said, "The Crown Princess is here." She was still struggling to get up, but Yong Niang, who was behind me, hurried over and held her down.

I didn't know how to comfort her, so I had to repeat what the queen said to her: "Don't be too sad, after all, you are still young."

Xu Niang wept and said, "Princess Xie, the servant is blessed, and now the only hope is to die."

I said embarrassingly: "Actually... why do you always want to die? You see, I'm not doing well..."

When I heard Yong Niang cough, I knew I had said the wrong thing again. So I asked, "What do you want to eat? I can teach someone to make it and deliver it." When I was sick last time, the queen sent people to see me and always asked me if I wanted to eat anything, and what I was missing. In fact, what is there in the East Palace? This is probably to express special condolences. I didn't know how to comfort the patient, so I had no choice but to draw a gourd.

Xu Niang said, "Thank you, Crown Princess."

I looked at her appearance, miserable, as if all my thoughts were gone. In the end, Yong Niang came forward and said a lot to comfort her. Xu Niang just kept wiping away her tears, and when we finally left, she was still there crying.

When we returned to the Central Palace, the Empress had already ordered someone to draft Baolin's edict, Li Chengyin's face looked ugly, and the Empress was saying: "The East Palace should be harmonious, the Crown Princess is childish, and many places cannot take care of it. When you arrive, it's always good to have more people to help her." She looked up and saw that I was walking in, so she waved to me, and I walked over to salute her, but she didn't ask the female officer behind her to help me, but she personally stretched out her arm to help me. When I got up, I was simply flattered. Every time the queen is always graceful and dignified, she rarely treats me so intimately.

"That Zhao Liangdi can be spared the death penalty, but the death penalty is hard to forgive." The Empress said lightly, "I will demote her to a commoner, and she will be claustrophobic for three months, and the prince will not be allowed to visit, otherwise I will decree her to be expelled from the East Palace. "

I saw Li Cheng Yin's eyes jump, but he still lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "Yes."

As soon as I left the Central Palace, Li Chengyin slapped me. I didn't take precautions, and I was stunned by his sudden slap.

A'Du jumped up and drew the knife, "Shu" had already put the sharp blade in his neck at once, Yong Niang was so frightened and shouted: "No!" Cheng Yin slapped him. Although I do not know martial arts, but I am not easy to mess with. Since he dares to hit me, of course I have to hit back!

Li Cheng Yin sneered: "Just kill me today!" He pointed at me and said, "You vicious woman, I know it's you! You made the trap, which not only eliminated the child in Xu Niang's belly, but also Infinite thrashing."

I trembled with anger and said, "Why do you say that?"

"You will pretend to be pitiful, innocent, and ignorant in front of the backstage all day long! Don't think that I don't know, you complained behind the scenes, saying that I left you out. You are jealous, so that's why you resorted to such a poisonous scheme. Framing her, you are more poisonous than all the poisonous snakes in this world! Now you can do what you want, and forcefully drive away Thurse and tear us apart! If anything happens to Thurse, I will never let you go, I tell you, as long as I become emperor, I will abolish you immediately!"

I was pissed off by him, I pushed A'Du away and stood in front of Li Cheng Yin: "Then you can abolish me now, do you think I like marrying you very much? Do you think I don't like this crown princess very much? There are thousands of men in our Xiliang, all of them are heroes, and there is no one like you! Apart from reading poetry, what else can you do? Your archery skills are not as good as mine! You are also good at horseback riding. Not as good as me! If you were in Xiliang, and a man like you couldn't even marry a wife, who would despise you!"

Li Cheng Yin angrily walked away.

I was in a daze for a while. We had been arguing for three years. I knew he didn't like me, but I didn't expect him to hate me and hate me so much, and he didn't hesitate to speculate on me with the greatest malice. Yong Niang covered me in the chariot and comforted me in a low voice: "Prince Shi Shi has angered the Crown Princess because of Zhao Liangdi, and the Crown Princess should not take it to heart."

I know, of course I know, because he felt that Zhao Liangdi had been wronged, so he took it all on me, but I really didn't do anything, why should he take anger at me

He said that I was jealous of Zhao Liangdi. I was a little jealous of her, but I was jealous of someone who was kind to her, so that I would trust her, protect her, and take care of her at all times. But apart from this, I'm not jealous of anything else, and I don't even think of harming her.

Zhao Liangdi seemed to be kind. When she came to play leaf cards with me, I thought she was just a very smart woman. How could she do such a cruel thing? And I don't think the empress is a good idea, Xu Niang looks weak and weak, even if Bao Lin is sealed, Li Cheng Yin doesn't like her, it's just another poor person in the East Palace.

At night, I couldn't sleep thinking about this, so I simply got up and asked A'Du, "Do you think Zhao Liangdi looks like a bad person?"

A'Du nodded, but shook his head again.

"I don't understand what the girls in the Central Plains are thinking. Although we men in Xiliang can marry several wives, if we don't get along, we can marry someone else."

A'Du nodded.

"And what's so good about Li Cheng Yin? Apart from his looks, he can see through it. He has such a bad temper and is stingy..." I lay down. "If I let me choose, I don't want to marry him."

I'm telling the truth, if I had to let myself choose, I wouldn't let myself fall into such a pitiful state. He obviously had someone he liked, but I had to marry him, which made him hate me, and my life was so sad. Now that Zhao Liangdi is imprisoned, Li Chengyin hates me so much, I don't want a husband who hates me so much.

If I had to choose myself, I would rather marry an ordinary Xiliang man, at least he really likes me, he will take me on horseback, go hunting with me, and tell me how to listen to it, and then I will give birth to a bunch of them for him. Baby, the family is living happily... But such a day, I know it will only appear in a dream forever.

A'Du suddenly grabbed my hand and pointed to the window.

I was very surprised, I pushed open the window, and there was a person sitting on the glazed tile on the roof of the hall opposite.

The man was dressed in white, sitting on the black glazed tile, very eye-catching.

I recognized this person, that Gu Jian again!

I was hesitating whether to shout "There is an assassin" when he suddenly slid down from the top of the hall like a big bird, walking like the wind, knocking lightly and then landing in front of my window.

I stared at him: "What are you going to do?"

He didn't answer, just stared at my face. I knew that my face was still a little swollen. After returning to the East Palace, Yong Niang rolled the boiled chicken for me for a while, and there was still a red fingerprint on my cheek, which could not go away. But I didn't suffer. My face must have been swollen with that slap, because at that time I used all my strength, and the shock made my palms numb.

There was a touch of emotion in his voice, as if trying to suppress something: "Who hit you?"

I touched my cheek and said, "It's okay, I've already called back."

He insisted on asking, "Who is it?"

I asked, "Why did you ask?"

There was still no expression on his face: "Go kill him."

I was startled, but he asked again: "Since you are the Crown Princess, who dares to beat you? Is it the emperor? Is it the queen? Or someone else?"

I shook my head and said, "Don't ask, I won't tell you."

He asked me, "Will you come with me?"

This man is really weird. I shook my head and was about to close the window. He reached out to stop the sash and asked me, "Are you still mad at me?"

I felt inexplicable: "Why should I be angry?"

"Aren't you angry about what happened three years ago?"

I told him very seriously: "I really don't know you. Don't come here in the middle of the night and say something inexplicable. This is the East Palace. If anyone finds out, he will be shot to death as an assassin."

He smiled proudly: "East Palace? Even if it's the palace, I still don't want to go in and out of wine, I want to go out nine out, who can help me?"

I stared at him, this man was extremely arrogant, but based on his martial arts, I guess that for him, the palace was really a matter of entering and exiting whenever he wanted. I sighed, "What the hell are you going to do?"

"I just came to see you," he asked again. "Will you go with me?"

I shook my head.

He looked very angry and suddenly grabbed my hand: "You're not happy at all here, why won't you come with me?"

"Who said I'm not having a good time? Besides, who are you, why do you care if I'm having a good time?"

He stretched out his hand to hold me, and I shouted, "Defend!" A'Du grabbed it, he just waved his sleeve lightly, and A'Du staggered back a few steps, not waiting for A'Du to grab it again, He had already pulled me, and I only felt that my body was light, and I was pulled out of the window by him like a kite. He was very light, and carried me as if he were riding the wind. I felt the wind constantly passing by my ears, and after a while, my feet finally stepped on the ground, but it was a cool and slippery glazed tile. He actually took me to the top of the top of the main hall of the East Palace. This is the highest place in the East Palace. Looking around, the palace towers, the continuous halls, the arches and the eaves, and the glazed animal ridges are all quietly immersed in the sea of ink. in the night.

I threw his hand away, nearly slipped, and glared at me: "What the hell are you doing?"

But he pointed to the large palace tower under our feet and said, "Xiao Feng, look, look here, such a high wall, surrounded on all sides, is like a deep well that sees no light, how can it hold you?"

I don't like him calling my name very much. It always makes me feel uncomfortable. I say, "That's none of your business."

He said, "What is it going to do so that you are willing to go with me?"

I rolled my eyes at him: "I will never go with you, don't think that you are highly skilled in martial arts, if I make a fuss, the Yulin army will be disturbed, and I will shoot you into a hedgehog like a thousand arrows. "

He smiled lightly and said, "Have you forgotten who I am? I only have a sword in my hand, and you call out the entire Yulin army in the East Palace, how can you do anything to me?"

I almost forgot, this man is arrogant to the extreme. So I had an idea, and the big name flattered him: "Your martial arts are so high, are you invincible in the world, and you have never lost to others?"

He suddenly smiled and said, "You really don't remember at all? I lost to you in the sword competition three years ago."

I was so shocked that my jaw dropped, I pointed to the tip of my nose, and shook my head: "You? Lost to me?" This is too scary, I don't know any martial arts at all, he only needs to move his little finger , you can overturn me to the ground, how can you lose to me in the sword competition? I don't even know how to take a swordsman.

"Yeah." He was calm and calm, as if he couldn't be more calm, "The sword competition we gambled for life, if I lose to you, I will be your husband, love you, pity you, and accompany you for the rest of your life. ."

My mouth was open enough to swallow an egg, and I couldn't help but ask, "What if I lost the sword competition?"

"If you lost that time, you would naturally marry me and let me love you, pity you, and accompany you all my life."

I shivered again, sir, that's not how people play.

He said, "I didn't let you, but you stole my sword as soon as you shot, and I had to lose to you at that time."

Can I steal his sword? I can't believe it!

I cut through the mess quickly: "Anyway, it doesn't matter who wins or loses that time, I don't remember it ever happened. Besides, I don't know you, so I don't believe it because of your mouth."

He smiled lightly, took out a pair of jade bracelets from his sleeves, and said, "When you and I made a lifetime agreement, we divided this pair of mandarin ducks into two halves. I have a mandarin duck here, and you have a mandarin duck there. We originally made an appointment. Well, when the moon is full on June 15th, I will wait for you outside Yumen Pass, and I will take you back to my house with you."
