Jian An Kee

Chapter 54 Part of the truth

After he left, I stretched out my hands and saw that the teacup in my hand had been crushed into crumbs at some point, and my palm was pierced by the shards without knowing it.

Sleepless in the middle of the night, I finally went to the warehouse to check the things left by Zhou Yu.What exactly is that called a "bundle"?I hope to find clues from it. If I get the key by chance, at least I will give Dong Yuan a slowing down plan.

I rummaged through his tomes, priceless white porcelain vases, piles of bamboo slips... until the candles burned out and the whole warehouse fell into darkness again.I just sat there blankly until the edge of the window turned white.

I seldom think about that man, because I still cry when I think about him.At one point I thought time was the best medicine, time would allow me to get out of grief and start a new life—but no, I think Zhou Yu was probably imprinted into my soul, as long as I lived for one day, I couldn’t get rid of it. The mourning of his loss subsides.

At Maoshi, I went to my son's yard. The breathing of the people in the house was steady and long. He should have slept well last night.So I went back to the bedroom, and just about to undress and rest, when the candle light flickered, out of the corner of my eye, I caught sight of "Zuo Zhuan", which was placed on the bedside to eat dust, and a thought suddenly came to my mind.

The book is divided into five volumes, all of which are expensive paper pages covered with apricot valerian silk covers.I reached out to take the book, flipped it back, and it was filled with Zhou Yu's annotations when he was reading the book. It was a handwriting that I was so familiar with.Crashing all the way to the back cover, it is very thick when pinched.

Resisting the urge to cry, I went to open the mirror and took out the candle scissors.While cutting the back cover, I finally couldn't hold back the tears.

It is a state of mind on the verge of despair.

When Zhou Yu was around, he was the one who came forward for big things, and at most I just joined in the fun and added bricks and tiles.But he left, and the burden that fell on me was too heavy and too cruel.

During those days in Shangyu, I kept thinking that if I didn’t come to Jiangdong, Zhou Yu wouldn’t be able to give up the pick, and he wouldn’t dare to get sick and dare not leave.If he leaves, the husband will definitely be angry, so he will definitely be here well.

I tortured myself desperately with such paradoxes, but luckily I had my son in my stomach, otherwise I would have rotted somewhere in the mud right now.

Now, Dong Yuan's threat has become the last straw that crushes me.At the darkest moment before sunrise, I sobbed silently for a long time in a corner where there was no one.

After returning to the room, I took out the letter hidden in the back cover, faced the faint morning light, and translated the cipher text while sobbing.

Guanglan:

How have you been?I suspect that you are secretly crying for nothing now.The protagonist is not a person who can be entrusted for life, but you love him, I really doubt whether you love him or the fresh stimulation he brings to you.

Not much gossip.The forbidden curse left to you was found by Mr. Zhong from Dongting Lake. It has been lost for a long time since the time of Emperor Xuan. It must have been 300 years, right?In fact, to put it bluntly, it is just a kind of secret charm, half forcing people, ghosts, monsters, etc. to promise to be used by people.

Don't be angry with the lord for poaching your corner, because sooner or later your part will fall into his hands.The book left in your hand is not mine either, it belongs to Bo Fu, and I just keep it temporarily for him. (ah, that's another long story)

Even so, I expect you to keep it for as long as possible, because such unrestricted power falls into the hands of the lord...you will not like it to corrupt his sanity, believe me.

As for it itself, of course you also know that the more powerful something is, the more dangerous it is, just like the Carter cat you bought, which is both dangerous and cute, isn't it?

In the end, your blood is my sacrifice, remember it!treasure.

Du Minghan March [-]

I let go of my hand, and the page full of Xiaozhuan fell to the ground without a sound.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Sun Quan came, followed by many doctors.

The current situation in the house is probably not an exaggeration to describe it as "chicken flying dog jumping".Even though I was lying in the room, I could still hear Sun Quan's roar, and I could even hear Dong Yuan's unhurried reply clearly.

That day Sun Quan came to see his son and cried when he saw Sun Lu was sick. Needless to say, Dong Yuan was sent to see a doctor immediately.Miracle doctor Dong naturally shied away again and again, Sun Quan ran to talk to me sullenly, but found that I was also sick.Because the epidemic was prevalent in midsummer, he was afraid that my son and I would be infected with the epidemic, and he ordered repeatedly not to let the matter spread.

When I was troubled, I took the opportunity not to see him, and let him call me anxiously through the curtain.

I admired myself for being determined and strong, and I turned a deaf ear to his thoughtful words.On the contrary, he made a mistake in his busy schedule. He rushed all over the city to find a doctor to see his son, and accidentally leaked the news. Even the elderly Wu Guotai was alarmed, and repeatedly said that he would move Sun Li to the general's mansion for treatment. Of course I didn't want to, so the situation became more and more chaotic.

After such a incident, everyone in the house was in danger.The panic of the subordinates is well-founded, because my symptoms are [-]% similar to the epidemic.

I asked the white-bearded old doctor who came to ask for pulse, but he hesitated to speak.

I asked, "Old man, I heard that some of the refugees outside the city were infected with smallpox, is that true?"

The old man coughed for a while: "Ahem, ma'am, I'm being rude. Ma'am, you have a lot of blessings, so don't worry about spreading rumors about it. The disease will recover in three to five days."

I said coldly, "Although my son has a mild wind-heat syndrome, he is definitely not suffering from smallpox. You can tell right away."

"No, no, Ma'am said yes."

I snorted lightly: "Go down, I'm going to rest."

After the doctor left, I called the attendants, ordered them to arrange one by one, and finally stuffed a pile of clothes under the quilt to pretend to be taking a nap, then lifted the bed curtain and sneaked out of the room.

I went to see Lai Yan.

Sun Quan's thoughts are really weird. On the one hand, he almost responds to my requests, but on the other hand, he cuts off my contact with Zhou's family everywhere.

Ever since I read Zhou Yu's letter, I vaguely guessed what he was thinking, and didn't try to find out, and even became closer to him than before.If it wasn't for my illness and the illness that must be treated in isolation, I really don't know when I will be able to find a time to leave home.

The house I live in now is only as deep as five entrances, far less imposing than the Dudu's Mansion back then, but the good thing is that every courtyard is extremely exquisite and unique.At the beginning, Sun Quan said that there were many obstacles between the various courts, and the task of night patrol would be very heavy, so he sent a particularly large number of guards.Fortunately, I prepared for half a month in advance, and jumped out of the roof all the way.

In fact, the "bundle" that is said to be omnipotent can be used now.But it is conceivable that I don't have a good opinion of that thing, and I would rather do it myself.

After leaving the mansion, he rode the horses that had been prepared long ago and galloped all the way to a certain place in the south of the city. What he found out was that Laiyan was now promoted to the rank of Captain of Dongying, and lived here together with other important officers.

It's been a long time since I've exercised so vigorously, and my palms are red from rubbing, with a slight tingling pain.I wiped my casual clothes with my hands, got off the horse and walked lightly to the bottom of the wall, kicked off the wall and turned over.

This area is full of rooms where the guards live. When entering the courtyard, there is a corridor, and the other side of the corridor is the place where the chief guard lives. Fortunately, patrolling the inner courtyard is not strict.

I squatted in the corner for a quarter of an hour. Seeing the patrolling people passing by, I stretched and bent my feet, grabbed the window frame with one hand, and slid into the high window.

Outside the window came faint orders for soldiers to practice, and someone strode over from the courtyard gate.

Lai Yan's voice was as cold and alert as ever, holding a sword in his hand, he yelled, "Who?"

I flicked my sleeves to reveal my face in the darkness, he raised his eyebrows, put down his sword immediately, knelt down and said: "I have seen the Patriarch."

"You get up."

"The subordinate dare not, the subordinate offended Madam."

"Don't call me Madam!" My heart burst into an unknown fire: "Stand up."

Unexpectedly, he knelt on the ground with a stiff neck and refused to get up. I was angry and anxious, my chest felt tight, and my legs softened and I knelt down in front of him.

He hurried to help me and put me on the cushion.

I grabbed his collar and choked up, "You bastard, how dare you betray me?"

"The subordinates are loyal to the Patriarch and dare not slack off in the slightest." He said in his mouth.Over the past few years, my temper has remained the same, and it hasn't changed at all.

I managed to calm down and said, "I have spent a lot of effort, I didn't come to listen to your loyalty, I have something to ask you."

He bent down at my feet: "Please tell me, Lord."

So I looked up and looked around. The long curtains hung from the windows to the wooden floor, and then crossed the long table and coiled in front of the pillars.I really can't understand how Lai Yan, with such a rigid temperament, can make the house look like it is haunted.

I coughed and looked towards the roof: "Think about it, how free and worry-free I was at home a year ago? Now I am restricted in everything I do, think about it, do you have the heart to make me so unhappy?"

He said nothing.

I continued to ask: "You clearly know that my uncle handed over the jade pendant to me and wanted me to take full responsibility, but you deceived me, and you used this inside information to ask General Sun for credit. How dare you use such a despicable method? How dare you use it? Are you worthy of your mother, worthy of the family that raised you?"

He didn't look up, and said in a mechanical tone: "This subordinate doesn't understand what you are talking about."

I grabbed his hair and pulled it resentfully: "Don't fool me, and don't try to get away with it."

"The subordinates really don't know..."

Seeing that he refused to enter, and was determined to resist to the end, I had to change the subject: "Let me ask you, who is your Patriarch?"

He said quickly: "My current master is you."

"You know?" I said sarcastically.After coming here, I have no evidence in my hand to tear myself apart with this person. It is unnecessary to kill him. If I don’t kill him...it seems to be taking advantage of him again.

"Then let me ask you, do you know Dong Yuan?"

He shrugged his shoulders: "This subordinate does not know such a person, but this subordinate has heard a little about his deeds."

"If it's about domesticating tigers or something, then don't tell me."

"No, that's not what my subordinates heard."

"So?"

"Miss, do you know that the current emperor once had a concubine, Lady Dong?"

I was surprised: "She, Dong Guiren, if the surname is Dong... Prime Minister Cao wiped them out in the fifth year of Jian'an. So, this person is a fish that slipped through the net of the Dong clan?"

"No, this Dong Yuan's father was exiled for a crime and grew up in Lingnan."

I stood up and walked back and forth in the room: "Speaking of which, his experience has been rough. Did he make a vow somewhere?"

"You should be able to feel it."

I walked back and forth in the house with my hands behind my back, and kept mumbling to myself: "Yes, yes, it's connected back and forth... What's the purpose of that guy, killing people with a knife? Ha, it's a good idea!"

I suppressed my excitement and said to him, "Today's events must not be leaked."

He tentatively asked, "How did you get here?"

"You don't have to worry about that." I reopened the window and slid down the corridor, heading home the same way.

I still don't know that I have caused a big disaster this time.
