Sleeve the world, mourning melody

☆, antecedent

The hall was deserted, the lingering fragrance disappeared, the candle flame was faint, and there were only two figures to the left.

The woman in white leaned on the front seat, frowning and contemplating, and knelt down in the hall, nodding her head and saying nothing.

"That's all?" The woman's red lips parted slightly, her eyes deep.

"Yes..." Xiao Ruoshui nodded.

The woman curled up half of her lips and sneered, "How many times has she gone to look for you late at night, just for such arty things as scenting scented tea?" Seeing the figure of the kneeling man tremble, the woman immediately stood up, raised her voice proudly, Dressed in white clothes, she flaunted freely, "Could it be that you think I've been idle for a long time and don't understand human affairs?"

If the water fell to the ground, he replied in fear: "Your subordinates lie to the palace master, and there will be no redemption in ten thousand deaths!"

The woman walked down the stairs, came to her, and after a moment of silence, hummed softly, "Get up, I know you don't intend to lie to me."

"Thank you, Palace Master!" Ruoshui got up in panic.

The woman lowered her eyelids and concealed her expression, "If she asks you about the past again, tell her."

"Palace Master?" Ruoshui was startled.

The woman raised her hand to stop her, and murmured: "Some people have such a nature, they don't look back until they hit the south wall."

Ruoshui was stunned, and couldn't help muttering in his heart: The palace lord succeeds, and after ordering her to take over the affairs of the hall and undertake the affairs of the hall, she hides her name in the city and seldom shows up in front of people.However, in the past few days, the palace lord has been returning to the palace much more frequently, and the reason is that the little general cannot be avoided in the final analysis...

Xiao Ruoshui raised her eyes and saw that the woman above her was leaning on the seat and was out of her mind, so she shook her head and sighed.Presumably, that little general is not an irrelevant person... When did the Palace Mistress ever worry about an irrelevant person?Even made a shot.

She was still in a trance, and the cold voice of the hall floated in her ears: "That's it for today, you have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders, don't break the rules."

Suppressing the delusional thoughts in his heart, Ruo Shui bowed and said goodbye, "Yes."

There is only one rule in the Xiaoguan—conscientiously plan things, don't ask for leisure.

After a while, Xiao Yage thanked guests behind closed doors, letting go of the hustle and bustle of the day.A figure sat on the eaves of the octagonal building at the intersection of the street, his gaze was like a torch, and it was directed at the shop door where the crowd was scattered.

Xiao Ya Pavilion, known as Xiao Pavilion by insiders, is an elegant place that attracts literati and poets on the surface, but in fact, it gathers many capable people and strange people from all corners of the world.This sect can be called an alternative to Jianghu, low-key and mysterious, and acts treacherously.Outsiders know very little about it - they have found traces of its sect through several major events in the martial arts world, and their understanding is limited to the fact that everyone under its sect is female and used to show others in white clothes. Among them, hidden weapons, spices, medical skills, divination and other techniques There is no shortage of proficient people, but the major events and small emotions in the world, relying on many channels, can't hide it from Xiao Guan's eyes and ears.

Yi Mo stared at the door of Xiao Pavilion, waiting for the opportunity.

She came here only because she knew one more piece of news than others——Chun Yi Building originally belonged to Xiao Guan.This is what she vaguely heard Miss Sima and her confidants talk about in the secret room of Sima Zi's bedroom when she was unconscious.

I came here today just to "please" the insider to solve the confusion for many years.

At midnight, when the sound of the watchman's gong died down, the gate of the Xiao Pavilion was knocked again.

The person who opened the door was indeed a woman.Yi Mo's guess in his heart was a little more certain, and he bowed his head, "Dare to ask if Miss Luo Shang is here?"

The woman who opened the door was stunned for a moment, and then replied after a while: "Could it be that the young master made a mistake? This is Xiao Yage, not..."

Yi Mo made up his mind, stopped going around in circles, and said in a cold voice with calm eyes: "Everyone knows about Chunyi Tower, Miss, do you want me to lead Gange here?"

"You..." The woman who opened the door was annoyed instantly, this man!You are so clueless?Thank you sisters for your help!In desperation, he opened the door to give way, and when he closed the door, he turned his head and stared at people a few times to express his anger.

"General Kui Ye came to the door. Are you really not afraid of losing your reputation?" Hearing the movement downstairs, not long after, the woman in scarlet clothes slowly went downstairs.

Presumably, he has been in the court for a long time, and he has heard many such winding topics. Although Yi Mo is disgusted, he does not lose his momentum, and immediately threatens to dismiss it: "You are not afraid of the shadow when you are upright. What's more, If you are worried about rumors and slander, you should think about it even more."

Luo Chang smiled lightly, "In that case, please, General."

Not long after, the two of them sat at the same table, dissipating the superficial vanity, and having a quiet conversation like the previous few times.Yi Mo stared at her with a serious and nervous expression.On the other side of the table, the expression is indifferent, with a little melancholy.

"Six years ago, Xiao Guan did know something about the Shen family's big case." This time, before Yi Mo asked, the woman took the initiative to let go.

Yi Mo clenched her hands on her knees, she never thought that today's progress would be so smooth.

Looking at her expression, one could tell that she was wary, Luo Chang didn't say much, and just told her what he knew: "General, please be safe and don't be impatient, just listen to me..."

Six years ago, Shen Nong, the governor of Jiangzhou, was originally a parental official who was deeply loved by the people, but because he offended a certain minister of the court, he was framed and convicted.Shen Nong was so arrogant that he couldn't bear the bullying, and he hit the wall in prison and died to show his innocence without waiting for the ruling of the holy will, which shocked the government and the public.The common people petitioned, the ministers persuaded, the majesty couldn't bear it, and decreed to retry the case... However, there was more than enough energy, the relevant insiders died or disappeared, and it was difficult to collect evidence... Until today, the case is still pending.

Luo Shang told the truth about the major case of the Shen family and waited for Yi Mo's reaction.

Yimo clenched his teeth tightly, and his fist and knee collided heavily.The others felt shocked when they heard this, but they didn't know which one hurt which one.

Suddenly hearing this little-known past, Yi Mo recalled the saddest memory in his military career.

Six years ago, the first year of the new emperor's succession was the first year of God's Blessing. In the spring of that year, she had been in the army for a full year, and she had to be promoted again to be the head of a hundred households. This family letter of good news was still spread out on the table Before the case was sent out, she received a letter from her brother's family. The letter only said that her father was worried and overworked, without mentioning the cause and effect. She hurriedly wrote to inquire about the condition, but what she hoped for was the sad news she could not bear.My heart is full of sorrow, and the grief is unspeakable.She only remembered to write back to comfort her younger brother to take care of his grief, so how could she have thought about cause and effect?

Thinking back now, my father was in good health, so why did his health deteriorate and become difficult to cure in spring and autumn?Yi Mo shed tears, feeling unwilling.The father must have tried his best to protect her siblings from thieves...

Yi Mo wiped away the tears that filled his eyes, raised his head, and asked in a trembling voice: "What about the rest of the Shen family?"

"Let's go, let's go." Luo Shang sighed inwardly, telling each other bluntly.

Hope was ignited in Yi Mo's eyes, she leaned forward and asked eagerly: "Then miss her..."

"Ms. Shen and Ms. Shen died in prison and hanged themselves." Luo Chang's indifferent expression was directly reflected in the man's sorrowful and happy eyes.

He died in prison and hanged himself.

Yi Mo recited silently over and over again, as if an unenlightened child didn't understand its meaning...

She was not an uneducated child who could not read and write, but the horoscope was too heavy, directly crushing the last straw in her heart, her faith collapsed, and there was no hope.

Died in prison, hanged himself...

Nian'er, I've been looking forward to it for seven years, looking forward to a triumphant family reunion, looking forward to seeing you forever... The Shen family's reputation is still alive, why are you willing to give up everything?Why not give me a chance!Yi Mo was disheartened and powerless, unable to sit still, his body fell straight backward...

"General!" Luo Chang helped the person who was lying on the ground, staring at those teary eyes, turned away, feeling unbearable.

·

Even though the mission was completed, Luo Chang couldn't bear to see people so distraught, so he personally sent her back.

At the gate of the General's Mansion, no surprises, a pair of high-hanging lanterns in front of the mansion are warm and affectionate, covering a slim figure who is looking forward to it.

Mo Xi saw the two approaching each other, and immediately went up to meet them.

Before anyone could ask, Luo Chang took the initiative to explain: "General Mo's mood is unstable, that's why..."

"Give it to me." Mo Xi showed no expression, carefully embraced the person, and walked back steadily.

Luo Shang hesitated to speak, looked at the spot, until the door was closed with a loud bang, and left with a sigh.

·

"You really like her." Mo Xi smiled wryly when changing the dressing for Yimo's shoulder injury, "But I didn't care about anything just to find news about her."

"Nian'er..." Yi Mo lowered his head sadly, two tears hit his collarbone.

"I know." Mo Xi emptied his thoughts, and stopped talking from now on, concentrating on spreading the powder.

Wrapped a brand-new muslin for the injured shoulder, and closed the skirt for someone else, Mo Xi stood up and said goodbye, uncharacteristically, he cherished the words like gold: "Rest early."

Silently closing the door, walking into the yard, the loneliness around her body instantly merged with the cold moonlight.She raised her head unwillingly, looking at the desolate moon like water.The moon is missing a corner, and it is even colder.But for some reason, the desolation in my heart reached the corners of my eyes and rolled into scalding puddles, and even burned my cheeks when it rolled down...

The fallen flowers have already danced in the wind, but the flowing water still only goes east.

She knows your mind, but do you know mine?
