Text Nineteen Road Seventeen (43)
The flowers in June begin to get tired of the wind that remains after spring. Now that I have decided to leave, why do I look back in the distance in slowness. The wind is not everything to the flower. What the flower needs is to hold on to the soil under its feet, absorb enough water, and try to smile at the sun. When the smile fades, Luo Hong will nurture peace and tranquility.
An Dian is not a nourishing soil, the water is too clear to see fish, but the sun shines on everything, and the hope is to catch it!
Xiao Shangquan has moved into Andian. When she saw the adoptive father who was still smiling, she said, "Thanks to my father Wang Yingming, it turns out that Master Ming Zhao has really rebelled long ago."
Wang An smiled back: "I just wronged you all the way to Shangquan. How about it? I'm still used to having been in Andian recently!"
Shangquan replied: "Shangquan has always regarded this place as his own home, how come you are not used to it. Let father worry about it."
"Oh, the family doesn't speak foreign languages."
Wang An stood up and said, "You have also rested for a while. Go and see Lingling. These days, she has been alone. To accompany her, she misses you very much."
"Got it!" It's time to see that person. Shangquan agreed to his father and went directly to the Princess Palace. The flower that was crumbling in the wind has been enduring the loneliness of the cold from the heights. The fragile heart grasped the self-righteous strength, panting for the breath of being free from the crowd in the deep Da'an Hall. Xiao Shangquan came to the princess hall and saw Princess An Lingling playing the guzheng, and his widowed sentiment concealed some desire to hide in Tibet.
An Lingling raised her head to see Shangquan, and stopped her hands: "Shangquan is here. Sit!" She motioned for her to sit on the stone bench on one side. After the two parties sat down, she said first: "Why come here free? It's been a long time since I saw you. Let's have a good time outside!"
"Except for occasional discomfort, everything is fine." Shangquan replied and asked, "What is the tune of Lingling? I have never heard of it."
Lingling smiled: "It's "Sigh for Rain". According to legend, there was a woman who sent her husband to the battlefield when it was raining heavily. She was agitated and waiting for her husband to return safely. It seems that two months later she learned that her husband had died in battle. . It happened to rain heavily that day. In her grief, she left this song "Sigh of Rain"."
"Really?" Shangquan said, "That is to say, when people are sad, they tend to think of "Sigh of Rain". Is there anything unhappy about Lingling?"
"Heh, I'm fine! I just lament the heroine's infatuation in the story." Lingling said, "This kind of cookie-cutter story can't move me. Women are like this, no matter how smart and capable, they can't beat the attack of love."
"Yes." Shangquan agreed. "We also have this saying: A woman in love has zero IQ." As soon as he finished speaking, Shangquan felt a little dizzy. She shook her head, trying to cheer herself up.
"Yeah!" Lingling said, "The same goes for women in secret love. For example, Xiang Liushui. That shrewd and cunning girl, when he mentioned the eldest son of the Chu family, forgets everything. A person is immersed in what he imagined. In the space. Hehe, people are not afraid of fatal weaknesses, they are afraid that they will be known. Xiang Liushui’s path to find courage begins with the sprout of one-way growth of love, and finally the wishful thinking of love."
Shangquan's vision became blurred, and she stubbornly supported the stool: "What are you talking about? I don't understand."
An Lingling's smile froze. Her eyes were sorrowful and sad: "You are just like me, you are not superficially poisoned. How can you understand what I'm talking about. You don't have to blame the heavens and others like I used to, the fate is still in your own hands, the key is to strive for it. Although my body and mind It's dead, but when you eat the pastry I poisoned, I feel the hope of life... But anyway, I still sympathize with you!" She said and went to support the person who was about to fall. "I found you, who are you going to catch!"
"Please, let me go. I really interrupted your life by accident!" Shangquan asked in a low voice.
There are rows of sadness in An Lingling’s eyelashes. She took out the knife and pressed it against the abdomen of the person in front of her: "I am different from other passers-by. I will still kill you if I can't get the courage of the five beasts. I belong to me. In the end, I can accept and reach a psychological balance. I will let you go, provided that you give me the three darings you have."
"You... What do you want to be brave for?"
"Huh!" An Lingling resisted the opponent, "Kill all those who don't put us in the eyes, including this Da'an Temple! Xiao Shangquan, just be acquainted. Your poison will go on over time. The frequency of seizures is getting higher and higher. Over time, you will die from poisoning your intestines. No matter how much your brother cares about you, it will not help."
Xiao Shangquan held the opponent's hand with the knife: "I... will never give it to you! An Lingling."
An Lingling was a little surprised. Soon, she said: "You really can't do it for me?!" After speaking, she stabbed the opponent with a knife.
Xiao Shangquan swiftly grabbed the opponent's knife's wrist, and when he twisted it, the opponent's knife fell to the ground. At the same time, her sword was resting on the enemy's neck: "I won't let you go, you murderer who killed my best friend."
Ok? why? Why did the toxicity not continue? Impossible, even I have no cure. An Lingling couldn't believe what was in front of him.
"Shangquan didn't eat the cakes you gave." An Lingzhao appeared in the princess hall. He walked into the two of them and said, "I gave Shangquan a pastry before. She also asked her to bring one with her. You can't eat it anyway. The pastries you gave."
Shangquan also said: "Sure enough, we thought, you poisoned the cakes and wanted to control me. It's a pity that we already knew you were wrong."
"And in the first time, I knew that you killed Xiang Liushui." An Lingzhao said, "It's just that I didn't tell Shangquan so early."
Desperate grief completely overturned An Lingling's world: "Why?"
An Ling photographed back: "Shangquan clearly has a tattoo on the back, but you didn't tell the truth. It stands to reason that you should be punished and questioned your intentions for not telling the truth. But that's not the action of a wise man. The reason is that you should be punished. You will think that everything is so natural and calm because we have to put a long line to catch big fish."
"Later..." An Lingling's voice trembled, "Later, I was also very smart when you monitored me and cut off contact with everyone."
"Not bad!" An Lingzhao said, "All of this reminds us that there is no blood stains and leaks on a coat on Xiang Liushui when he died. I checked, you made a new set of clothes, but you never wore it. Yes. Later, I found the bloody clothes in the princess hall. Lingling, a gentleman breaks the law, and he is more important than the common people. Do you know what’s wrong?"
"Know!" An Lingling nodded.
An Ling photographed back: "Then you should tell us one by one the people who control you. For everyone, we will get rid of them."
"Humph." For the first time, An Lingling smiled at the life-and-death dialogue she had always encountered, "You can continue to play a scene in front of me, and then it will come out one day. Why not continue to play it. ?"
Xiao Shangquan replied: "Anyway, you are the princess of Da'an Temple, the younger sister of Brother Lingzhao, and we can't hurt you anymore."
"Haha!" An Lingling smiled sadly, "What princess or sister? What no longer hurts?" She approached An Lingzhao, "Remember your 24th birthday? You lost the gift I gave you. I know. All the secrets are in that gift. With an attitude of admitting my mistakes and a frank heart, I will write all my secrets in that letter and give them to you on your birthday. Hopefully My dear family brother, you can protect An Dian and save me. But... you don’t look at it, and you lost your gift. Now... you are so embarrassed to get answers to your questions in front of me. You guys, take care of yourself!"
Xiao Shangquan looked at his brother in surprise.
An Lingzhao lowered his head. What else to say, this... This is indeed my own fault...
"Brother," An Lingling raised her head and looked at her brother, "Perhaps, this is the last time I called you that. Anyway, I have to admit that I was wrong first. I succumbed to the enemy's threat and made An Dian. In the days that followed, I would retaliate against you privately. So I will be guilty. But I hope my brother will also understand that the root of all these errors is my brother's ruthlessness and indifference to me. So..."
Ok? An Lingzhao suddenly felt a tingling pain on her body. Always forget to guard her like this!
"I want to punish you too!" An Lingling took out another dagger, and stabbed the dagger into his body when his brother was not paying attention.
Xiao Shangquan was shocked when he saw this, and immediately slapped the enemy with one palm and stopped in front of his brother. Seeing her brother's bleeding wound, she was so anxious that she didn't know what to do. I only shed tears in heartache: "Brother... Brother..."
An Lingzhao endured the pain and smiled at her sister: "Small injuries... it doesn't matter!"
"What a jealous side!" An Lingling fell to the ground. She picked up the dagger on the ground and said with a smile, "Xiao Shangquan, do you know? Actually you are—"
"I know!" Xiao Shangquan interrupted the enemy, looking at the injured elder brother, "I know I am the real Princess An Lingling, and I am my elder brother's biological sister. I have known for a long time!"
An Lingzhao was a little surprised. You... you know? …
"From the very beginning, I doubted my own life experience." Shangquan continued, "So, I deliberately broke my father's bonsai, and deliberately scratched the hands of my father and brother with fragments. After taking your blood , I learned to do a blood test... Sorry. I did it on purpose!"
When I was worried about how to tell my sister the truth, my sister already knew. In fact, my sister is also quite smart. An Ling took a photo of her sister's head: "It's okay, you know. I said why you believed me so much later, after eating the cakes I gave you, you were willing to cooperate with me!"
"Yes." Shangquan said, "I finally understood my brother's painstaking efforts. I finally knew that my brother was so tired all the time!"
"Heh." An Lingling's face was still smiling. The scene in front of her hated her, hate it to the bottom of her heart! She looked at the dagger in her hand and said: "Before I want to kill others, I am sad. Because others are about to be released, and I will continue to suffer from your indifferent use. Now, I am the happiest. Because it is finally round. I'm free!" After speaking, she pierced the knife into her heart fiercely.
"Lingling!" An Lingzhao panicked. Enduring the pain on his body, he went to help his sister, and saw her sister vomiting blood with a contented smile. He was extremely sad. Sorry, I was wrong, sorry! Everything is my fault...
An Lingling, who had kept smiling, was happier. As he died, he said, "On this day of liberation, I also received the greatest love from my brother. Today is the happiest day for Lingling! Oh, please allow me to call My name..."
An Lingzhao closed her eyes, unwilling to see the smile on her sister's face. An Dian killed you! Lingling, An Dian harmed your family for your own future. Wherever you go, you will meet with your true relatives. But... But how can I redeem this new sin? How to make atonement? …
"Brother?" Shangquan knelt down, carefully watching his brother's painful expression.
An Lingzhao said in pain: "You know? Lingling is the biological daughter of Lord An Wuyi."
"Master Without Wings?"
"Lord Wingless lost you back then. Due to the pressure of the father and king, he had to give his own daughter Lingling to Andian." Lingzhao said, "Now, their father and daughter have died in Andian. All this, It's all the fault of my father and me." After the words were finished, some crystals flickered in the eyes of the prince. His grief intensified in the smile of the slowly dying man. This punishment is more tortured than death...
In a large-scale funeral of the princess, An Dian announced that Princess An Lingling, who had been ill, was gentle and kind, and brought a lot of joy and laughter to An Dian, but she was eventually sickened and left all love. Her relatives, her loved ones. An Dian will always remember Princess An Lingling's great achievements. You Guo commemorated this kind princess with a moment of silent mourning for the people of the whole country!
After attending the funeral, Prince An Lingzhao stood alone in the long and dark corridor holding a letter. He prayed for and confessed to his sister with the most sincere heart... Lingling, your gift, I Did not lose. This letter was not read because of busyness and negligence. Thank you, An Dian already knows the members of the Four Forces that control you. For the sake of Da Anguo, for you, I will eradicate them one by one...
The white sails of the Seventeen Voyage ship drifted in the wind, and the oars of the day swayed in the shoreless sea. The invisible flowing water is most yearning for an unforeseen future, hurriedly leaving traces of wetness on the shore, gone forever. Xiao Shangquan, standing in front of the rockery spring, counts the experience of this journey. Thinking of the former brother and the aggrieved brother, when she was sad, she began to envy the numb happiness of the mountain spring in front of her. It wasn't the depth of An Dian that made her lonely, but the complexity of this human heart made her feel tired as well. The scene of the conversation with my brother yesterday appeared before my eyes again.
"Brother!" Xiao Shangquan came to the Prince Palace. This is the first time she has come here as her biological sister, and this time she feels much more cordial.
Hearing this voice, An Lingzhao immediately put down his book, greeted his sister, and when he saw her sister salute himself, he said, "Shangquan, you don't have to be polite when you come here in the future."
Shangquan was also welcome: "Yes, I see." After entering the palace, she took the initiative to sit on the side of her brother and said with a smile, "I haven't felt this way for a long time."
"How does it feel?" An Lingzhao asked her sister.
"Just... sitting next to my brother, I feel safe." Shangquan replied, "Did you know that my brother is better than a lover."
"Huh?" An Lingzhao was a little surprised that her sister suddenly said this, how could she compare herself with her lover.
Shangquan explained: "Although the lover is good, there is the problem of quarreling and breaking up. From now on, there is a problem of no contact. The siblings are different. If you quarrel in the morning, you will share a candy in the afternoon. The lover is jealous and has siblings. I sincerely wish each other; lovers like to compare themselves with each other’s work, and always contribute to each other's siblings; lovers value each other’s salary not rising, siblings always instigate each other’s safety and health... a lot!”
"Really?" An Ling listened to his sister's fresh words, feeling somewhat reasonable.
"Do you know? My brother may be getting married!" Shangquan said with a smile.
"Oh?" An Lingzhao couldn't understand her sister's words. When did I tell her that I am indeed going to get married after a while? !
Shangquan continued: "Before I came to this world, my brother said that he would take his girlfriend home. It's a pity that I am here and I can't be my future sister-in-law!"
After talking for a long time, I was still talking about the so-called celestial talks, and I still regret that I came here! One you are talking about this prince! An Lingzhao felt a little displeased, and he took up the book on the table to cover up.
"Oh!" Xiao Shangquan grabbed his brother's book and said with a smile: "I haven't finished yet! Although I regret not being the girlfriend of Brother Fan, I am even more happy to meet Brother Lingzhao's girlfriend. Hehe, I just heard a few maids whispering that in a while, brother Lingzhao is getting married! Well—how can I not know about such an important thing as my sister? Brother, you are so stingy, even others know about it, but you don’t tell me , Isn't it just to invite a guest!"
As soon as these words came out, An Lingzhao finally showed a smile: "Heh. They just spread it! The father did mention this to the ministers, and it seems that they have not yet agreed on it!"
Shangquan rolled the book on the table into a tube and pretended to be a reporter: "Then I will interview Prince An Lingzhao of Da Anguo. Do you prefer a gentle and virtuous wife or a beautiful wife?"
"Interview" knows, what does it mean to look at this stretched out book tube? An Lingzhao didn't understand. But since it was his sister's question, he decided to answer happily: "Gentle and virtuous."
"Do you like long hair and big eyes or talented?" Shang Quan continued to ask.
Facing the book barrel, the prince looked humble and replied: "It's okay. It's best not to be more talented than me!"
"Well, the more narcissistic prince! Then the prince cares if the other party's identity is right?"
The prince replied: "What age is it, of course I don't mind!"
"The thinking is more advanced. What kind of occupation does the prince want the other party?"
"There are not so many requirements. The ordinary ones are the best." The prince replied.
"Ah? What an honest brother." Shangquan refused to let go of the opportunity. "When I wake up in the morning, do I want to see my wife with eyes open or closed?"
The prince replied: "The question is a bit outrageous. I refuse to answer."
"Then you like... Xiang Liushui or Hua Fengxin?"
"I don't know if there is any'gossip' in your so-called world, this word is given to you." The prince replied, "Rather than you are so curious, let me tell you all."
"What?" Shangquan asked.
"I prefer natural people. The so-called natural people are those who have a normal appearance and are not artificial in their hearts. Make-up lighter and polite. Hearts are simpler. The voice is gentle, the eyes are energetic, and the spirits are elegant. If you can, stupid. A little better. A woman without talent is virtue!" An Ling said.
"This requirement is not high at all!" Shangquan was surprised, "That's what Wang Hao's conditions are like? Ah, even Caili has the opportunity to be Wang Hao!"
"Okay." An Ling pointed out the book in his sister's hands, "It's hard to toss about by you. Seriously, what do you want my brother to do for you when you come here?"**
