A few days later, the emperor sent someone to send the living people. After the previous few times, Yuan Shuangqing was almost able to adapt, watching those living people being chopped under the knife calmly.
Of course, it is 'almost', and still cannot be completely indifferent.
When the executioners raised their knives, some bloody smell would inevitably penetrate into their noses. Yuan Shuangqing silently covered her mouth and nose with her hands, only her eyes were exposed, like stagnant water in a deep pool, without any waves.
In the end there was only one little girl left.
The little girl didn't look too big, she was wearing a tattered pink palace dress, and she was sobbing as she watched the people in front of her fall down in front of her.
She is still making the final struggle, just like those fallen people, babbling about her innocence incoherently: "I... I just stole a steamed bun, I was just hungry, I didn't mean it Yes, empress, spare your slaves!"
Seeing those people coming towards her, the little girl hastily rolled and crawled, crawled up to Yuan Shuangqing, and grabbed her ankle: "Your Majesty, please forgive me! Your Majesty, this servant will never dare again."
Yuan Shuangqing knelt down and lifted the girl's bangs, revealing her delicate face completely.
Yuan Shuangqing felt that she was trembling due to her touch, so she slightly parted her vermilion lips, and said softly, "I'm not your empress."
The little girl was very scared, but she had no choice but to find a chance to live for herself. She pulled her pant leg and begged bitterly: "Mother, please forgive me. I will never steal food again!"
The child still kept calling her Niangniang.
Yuan Shuangqing sighed in her heart, looking at her pitiful appearance and listening to what she said, she remembered her childhood for some reason.At that time, when she was hungry at night, Chang Xi would sneak into the kitchen and steal some food for her.
She found a sense of familiarity in the girl, and because of this, Yuan Shuangqing couldn't help feeling pity.
The guard approached with a sword, and the little girl jumped up, and quickly got up and shrank behind Yuan Shuangqing. In her opinion, Yuan Shuangqing, who had never made a move from the beginning to the end, was more reliable than these guards.
The guards took it for granted and said, "Girl, step aside, it won't be good if your clothes are stained with blood."
Yuan Shuangqing felt that the child was holding on to her clothes behind her, and that attachment made her feel strange. She sighed, but still compromising with her inner thoughts, she pulled the girl from behind to the front, and rubbed the girl with her fingertips soothingly. Touching the back of her hand, she said to the guards, "I need someone to serve me."
The guards were a little surprised. This girl Yuan had never protected anyone who died in front of her. They looked at the little girl and said, "But the emperor confessed..."
"You tell the truth, I will bear the consequences," Yuan Shuangqing put her little head in her arms, and said, "Tell the emperor, everything is going smoothly, but now is the critical time, I need to devote myself wholeheartedly, I think she is quite pleasing to the eye, so I want to keep her to wash my clothes for me."
After all, the guards did not force their hands on the little girl, and went back to tell the emperor the truth, and saw a smile on the corner of the emperor's mouth, as if he was sarcasm, but also seemed to be relieved suddenly.
The emperor said: "It really is the benevolence of women."
The benevolence of a woman is good, and the benevolence of a woman can be controlled better.
Yuan Shuangqing took the little girl's hand and turned and walked into the Lingbo Hall. The little girl peeked out through the corner of Yuan Shuangqing's clothes.
The corpses outside the courtyard were removed, and the eunuchs were washing the blood-stained floor tiles.
The little girl swallowed a mouthful of saliva, raised her head, and turned her eyes to the woman who was leading her. Just as she could see her status, she was caught by Yuan Shuangqing who suddenly lowered her head.
The little girl was startled and frightened, she quickly lowered her head, not daring to look any further.
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the woman leading her up the stairs, pursed her lips, and stepped on the stairs step by step, but her thoughts had already flown away.
The empress rescued herself from the hands of the emperor, so she was naturally grateful, but although she saved her life, she didn't know how to proceed in the future. Besides, would the empress torture herself?Just like the rumors, but... she doesn't look big, and she is very kind...
The little girl was thinking a lot, and suddenly felt that she had let go of her hand. She looked up and found that she had already gone up to the attic, and her heart beat even more violently.
What does she want to do to herself?she will...
Not allowing her to think too much, Yuan Shuangqing turned around and poured her a glass of water. After the little girl took it tremblingly, she sat down and asked, "What's your name?"
Holding the teacup, the little girl didn't dare to drink it. She unconsciously licked her dry lips, lowered her waist and saluted the palace, "Your maidservant is called Dumpling."
"Dumplings?" Yuan Shuangqing raised her eyebrows.
"Yes..." The little girl responded in a low voice: "Slave... the previous master of this servant liked to eat dumplings, so he gave this servant this palace name."
Yuan Shuangqing understood, and asked instead: "Then what was your name before entering the palace?"
The little girl replied truthfully: "Going back to your mother, the servant girl used to be called Yu Zhaodi, and the fish was the fish that swims in the water. Because the servant girl is the fourth girl in the family, and her parents wanted a younger brother, she was named Zhaodi." .”
"Surnames are very rare. I know that there used to be a romantic female Taoist priest named Yu Xuanji," Yuan Shuangqing said, "But this trick is not good."
"If your empress doesn't like it, you can give the servant a new name."
"I can't choose a good name." Yuan Shuangqing thought for a long time while resting her chin, and said, "I am lucky to be born in a desperate situation. May I call you Shengsheng?"
The little girl didn't care whether it sounded good or not, she immediately knelt down on the ground to express her loyalty: "Thank you for giving me your name!"
Yuan Shuangqing sighed: "Don't call me Niangniang, I am older than you, you can call me sister."
The little girl rubbed the corner of her clothes with her fingers, feeling a little tangled.
"I'm not the emperor's woman, and I don't like being called my empress." Yuan Shuangqing looked at her, pretending to be angry: "You won't call me elder sister?"
The little girl dawdled and said, "Sister... sister..."
Yuan Shuangqing responded and told her to get up, but the little girl was still unwilling to get up, and her head hung lower and lower.Yuan Shuangqing was very puzzled, walked over and squatted down to check, only to find that the child was crying, and immediately felt a little distressed and amused, and wiped her tears and said, "Why are you crying?"
As soon as the little girl heard her speak so softly, she couldn't control her tears even more, and cried: "Slave... I think of my three sisters. Before I entered the palace, the sisters treated me very well. , I don't know if they are doing well..."
Yuan Shuangqing said, "How old are you?"
"The servant girl is eight years old."
Yuan Shuangqing was stunned for a moment: "So young? How could your parents be willing to..."
The little girl explained: "My father and mother ordered a baby marriage for my younger brother, but the bride price was not enough, so they sold me into the palace."
There are such parents in this world. I think they don’t know how to cherish them if they have too many children...
Thinking this way, Yuan Shuangqing felt that her experience was similar to her own, and seemed to be worse than her own. She touched Yu Fengsheng's head and asked softly: "You don't need to call yourself a slave, I don't like it."
The little girl fluttered her teary eyelashes and nodded seriously.
Yuan Shuangqing continued to ask: "Then tell me again, what's the matter with stealing steamed buns?"
This remark caused another sad thing for the little girl. She lowered her head and said in frustration: "Slave... I am too young to do rough work. Everyone doesn't like me, and I can't compete with other court ladies for food. I am so hungry." , I stole a steamed bun from the imperial concubine’s private kitchen to eat, and was discovered by the nanny in charge, who imprisoned me for a few days, and then someone led us here.”
Yuan Shuangqing sighed while listening, thinking that this is really a poor child. Compared with her, she is not so unlucky. Yuan Shuangqing was having fun in the bitterness, and the corner of her mouth could not help but tucked into a smile, assuring her: "From now on, you will follow me , I won’t make you hungry again, but you have to be obedient, okay?”
Yu Fengsheng nodded desperately: "Mother... Don't worry, sister, I will be obedient."
"Good boy."
Yuan Shuangqing touched her head, feeling that the hair was soft to the touch, and the little girl looked at her with such trusting eyes.Unable to help, she thought of Chang Xi again.
She stretched out her other hand to touch her own, and suddenly understood why Chang Xi liked to touch her hair so much.Maybe it was the same feeling at the time?Like a little milk dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy, people can't help but dislike it.
Now the front and back are reversed, Yi Ren is not there, leaving her alone in melancholy.
Feeling down, Yuan Shuangqing patted the girl on the head, got up and went back to the desk, and told her to go down for a walk to familiarize herself with the place.
After another boring day, the emperor ordered someone to send a blank yellow talisman, and asked someone to convey his happiness for the progress. Yuan Shuangqing didn't say anything, and took the yellow talisman back to the attic. Then dipped in red ink and began to write runes seriously.
During this period, although Yu Fengsheng didn't know what Yuan Shuangqing was doing, he didn't dare to disturb him. He just served tea and food in silence, and then he didn't dare to move around. The texture of the hair is dense and complicated, so I can't help being more curious about Yuan Shuangqing.
One day, Yuan Shuangqing wrote a yellow talisman, dried it and handed it to the little girl: "This talisman can save your life, you keep it close to your body, don't lose it."
The little girl stayed in the palace for a long time, knowing that curiosity killed the cat, so she didn't say anything, thanked it, and solemnly put it on her chest.
Yuan Shuangqing was indulging in boring research all day long, and finally she was able to write the talismans purely and skillfully. She knew that if she started refining ghost generals now, she should be [-]% sure.
When Yuan Shuangqing went to visit her father in the underground palace, she remembered that Yuan Huan had said that Yuan Ye just didn't want to continue to study the refining of ghost generals. He was afraid that this evil method would harm the common people, so Zhu Jing would kill him. This time, it was also for the common people, but more For the sake of his daughter, he is willing to be trained into a heartless and ruthless ghost general.
She thought too much, and when she could do it, she couldn't really do it.Yuan Shuangqing found an excuse, and the matter was delayed again.
Listening to the report below, the emperor was not in a hurry, and said slowly to Yuan Huan: "It is better to be alive than to be dead. She will figure it out."
"But Emperor Qi Ai's army has already..."
"My nephew will die when the army crushes the city." The emperor stopped his ink pen and murmured in a low voice, "Da Qi...it should have ended long ago."
Of course, it is 'almost', and still cannot be completely indifferent.
When the executioners raised their knives, some bloody smell would inevitably penetrate into their noses. Yuan Shuangqing silently covered her mouth and nose with her hands, only her eyes were exposed, like stagnant water in a deep pool, without any waves.
