There was a drizzle, and the two people under the flower tree stood there, watching the rain fall, forming circles on the ground. The ripples swayed round and round, making the figures in the water tremble slightly.
There is no intention of stopping. The light rain in this season is endless.
Gu Nan turned his head to look at the child beside him.
The kid grabbed the hem of her clothes and huddled under the cloak.
Gu Nan raised his eyebrows: "Since you know this is a palace, why are you in this palace?"
The child raised his head and looked at Gu Nan.
After thinking for a while, he looked down at the rain in front of him again.
As if thinking of something, he said something simply.
"I've been here since I was born."
been here all the time.
A child in the palace
Gu Nan's eyes were a little strange, where did the child come from in this palace
Looking at the child's appearance, he is only about four years old, why would he stay alone in this rainy day in a place where there is almost no one coming and going.
"Where are your parents?"
The child's hand holding Gu Nan's clothes tightened, but he didn't speak.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Gu Nan was silent for a while, not knowing how to ask again, so he stopped asking.
She is not very good at communicating with such a big child, looking up at the light rain in the sky.
Suddenly asked: "Do you know the way home?"
The child nodded.
Gu Nan's shoulders slumped, and he patted his head: "When the rain stops, go home early."
The boy raised his head without saying a word, Gu Nan had a mask on his face, and couldn't see her expression clearly, but he looked into those eyes like no one else was looking at him.
When others saw him, they either lowered their eyes and showed no expression, or they were evasive.
The person in front of him didn't have those eyes, and looked very calm.
The boy hesitated for a moment, and pointed to a palace that was faintly visible in the rain outside the palace wall.
"I live there, and my mother is there too, but she fell asleep for a long time, and I haven't seen her for a long time."
Gu Nan looked in the direction of the boy's finger, that palace was a side hall in the palace, but he didn't expect that there were still people living there.
Do you live in the side hall
Trying to make his tone sound more kind, Gu Nan asked again: "What about your father?"
The boy hesitated for a moment and said, "Mother said father is dead."
"Mr. Gu?"
A voice came from behind, and Gu Nan turned around.
But there was a man in a black robe with a red border standing there, and he was standing among the flowers and trees.
He originally came here to enjoy the flowers, and the light rainy weather did not hinder people, and the weather was a bit more refreshing, but it was a good time to go out for a walk.
A few years ago, he ordered people to plant many white flower trees here, and he would come to see them every year when they bloomed.
He remembered very clearly that when the gentleman taught him in the small courtyard, he liked this kind of tree very much. Often a person looks at the white tree in a trance.
Seeing Gu Nan, he was surprised and then smiled.
"Why is Mr. Gu here?"
Gu Nan immediately turned around with the boy, and bowed to the man: "Your Majesty."
"The humble official here is just patrolling the palace as usual."
He said helplessly looking at the child beside him.
"It was here that I met this child."
"A child in the palace?"
Ying Zheng was taken aback, where did the child come from in this palace
Thinking about it, looking at the child beside Gu Nan, he couldn't recognize it.
"right."
Gu Nan sighed, said seriously, and pointed in one direction, which was the side hall in the distance.
"The kid said he lived there with his mother and no father."
Looking at the side hall, Ying Zheng seemed to have suddenly remembered the identity of the child.
He panicked for no reason. After all, a child lived in the palace of the palace. He said that he had nothing to do with him, and he himself didn't believe it.
Looking at the way Gu Nan looked at her, I felt a hint of incomprehensibility.
It's like, look at the scum's expression.
A child was left unattended in the palace, and he fell under a tree in the rain. He and his mother lived in a deserted side hall in the palace where there should be no one, and he couldn't find his biological father.
It seems to be able to think of a big story.
Gu Nan looked at Ying Zheng's strange expression.
He frowned suspiciously: "My lord, what's the matter?"
The corner of his eye twitched, and Ying Zheng hurriedly looked at the palace and explained.
"It's like this. The person living there is indeed a woman. When the widow sent Lu Buwei out of Xianyang, Lu Buwei had someone send her here."
"I heard that she was originally from the Kingdom of Wei, and she was pregnant when they were sent. At that time, the widow wanted to send the mother and child back, but the woman said that she had no relatives at home. So they were arranged to live in the side hall until they wanted to leave. will let them go."
"Later, I heard that the woman passed away due to depression, but I didn't expect that the child is now this old."
His speaking speed was a little fast, as if he had finished the sentence in one breath.
After finishing speaking, he put his hands behind his back nervously, looked at Gu Nan and asked, "Mr. Gu, do you understand?"
Gu Nan was stunned for a long time without reacting, and it took about half a minute before he finished interpreting this pile of information.
"oh oh."
I don't know if I understand or not and I nodded.
Looking at Xiao Yu in the sky: "Then when the rain stops, I will send him back."
"My widow, my widow, go with my husband."
The rain was not too heavy, and the three of them stood under the tree.
The sound of rustling rain rang softly in my ears, and the flowers and leaves in the distance shook.
The petals knocked down by the raindrops are one after another in the wind.
Gu Nan inexplicably felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange, and touched his nose uncomfortably.
Illusion
Standing beside Gu Nan, Ying Zheng looked at the swaying white flowers, suddenly felt that time seemed to slow down, and smiled slightly.
"Mr. Gu, look at that, the flowers on that tree are blooming very well."
The boy next to Gu Nan nodded: "It looks good."
Ying Zheng smiled and put his hand on the boy's head: "Is that so."
Yishui Riverside.
Three people stood there, and one of them carried a long sword on his back.
One is holding a long piano, and the other is holding a jug of wine.
Of these three people, one is called Jing Ke and Jiang Qing, one is called Gao Jianli, and the other is called Yan Dan.
Holding the jug, Yan Dan raised his glass to Jing Ke: "There is nothing to give, but to practice with wine. The survival of Yan depends on the king."
"Haha, the wine is enough." Jing Ke took the jug, raised his head and drank the wine, then looked back at Yi Shui.
Following the current, I don't know what to look at.
Until he turned around and left.
"Let's go, don't have to send it away."
This is the way to die.
Gao Jianli watched Jing Ke go away, lowered his head, and put his hands on the strings of the zither.
The sound of the piano gradually rose, he opened his mouth and sang softly, accompanied by the sound of Yishui's waves, it spread far away.
"The wind is rustling, the water is cold"
Hey, today's housewarming dinner is mostly elders, and the elders are really inseparable from not letting them leave the banquet, and now it is finally getting better. I have to go home all morning tomorrow. I'll write more later if I can. Sorry, I have been afraid to make a very serious promise, and there is no exact time for adding more, just worried that I will not come up and lose faith. The update speed is really too slow. In the history of Jing Ke's assassination of Qin, there was another Qin Wuyang, but in order to keep the plot from being too complicated, I won't describe this character much.
