Jian An Kee

Note 1: Polu refers to Polu general Sun Jian, the father of Sun Quan

The dancer wore a flying fairy bun, and the golden chains on her arms were intricately entangled. She plucked the strings with her ten fingers, as fast as a butterfly chasing shadows. .There was no accompaniment to the sound of this piece of music, it gradually became low, then high-pitched, and then low again, until the tail strings trembled, and the white hands pressed on the golden strings, and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly.

Surprised, I jumped up against the table and praised: "Good! Such a texture, it is self-luminous without a candle, it is probably made of ebony, the night light is the bone, and the gem is the lining. It is also accompanied by beauties and beautiful voices, wonderful, wonderful. "

Sun Quan also stood up, and said: "Praise the harp first, and then praise others. Isn't it true that Mr. Zhou has put the cart before the horse? You should be fined."

The dancer who received the salute went to the guests to express her gratitude, with a gentle and clear voice: "Thank you, the two gentlemen, for your praise."

On a whim, I said to her, "Let me take a look at the veil."

The dancing girl lowered her pink neck, and said softly: "Thank you for your kindness, my lord. The maidservant and concubine are ugly, so I'm afraid I'll disturb the distinguished guests." Her expression was very determined.

I saw that although she was thankful, there was no smile on her face, so I stopped the smile and said lazily: "Let's not say that you are out of your duty by wearing gold and silver, and you don't want to show your face when you see guests. The girl is very lofty. That's all right, go ahead, I don't like forcing people."

Seeing her retreat silently, Sun Quan glanced at me: "Don't you always like to pay attention to a 'obscure beauty', why are you so petty and angry now?"

"So what?"

After hearing this, all the dancers knelt down in unison, and the maids serving beside them also knelt down.Under the Western Preface, a guard who couldn't hold back moved his toes and coughed lightly.

The air stagnates for a moment.

"Sun Gongzi, go back, it's very boring." I tried to restore some atmosphere.

"What are you making a fuss about, isn't there something else going on?" He had a bit of annoyance on his face.

I didn't bother to be perfunctory and said, "Forget it, let's stay for a while."

The dancing girl playing the harp at the far end looked up at me, and quickly backed out.I had something on my mind, so I poked holes in the oranges on the plate with a pastry knife.

Sun Quan straightened my sideburns for me, and asked in a low voice, "Are you tired? I thought, our family never celebrates birthdays, so let's go out for a stroll in advance, and have a lot of fun, which is also an early celebration for you. I didn't intend to spoil your interest."

I smiled and said in a low voice: "I don't do your business, I'm tired of it. Sun Polu (Note 1) often said that how many children in the family can celebrate their birthdays every year. At that time, General Polu was a supervisor. I think frugality is very prescient, and when it's my turn, I naturally don't care about these imaginary things."

When he heard me mention his father, his expression changed slightly: "You remember clearly. I don't really care if I'm frugal or not. I really don't like red tape. After a year, I don't know how much time is wasted going to festivals. Forget it, let's not mention these , let's watch a play."

"it is good."

I sat up straight, and saw that Su Qin was wearing the seal of the Six Kingdoms, and he was going to Qin as an envoy with infinite glory.This scene tells the story of Su Qin meeting a poor and humble friend on his way to a mission. This poor and humble friend used the name of friendship for many years, which made Su Qin very embarrassed. The person severely humiliated.

I said: "Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, said, 'Wealth and honor do not return to one's homeland, like clothes embroidered at night'. At this time, Mr. Su really deserves the word 'returning to one's homeland in brocade'."

"Very well, it's a pity that the good times don't last long."

Talking about it like this, I finally watched a scene, I got up and waved my sleeves: "Let's go, I'm really tired."

Turning his head to the side, there was a beautifully dressed dancer beside Sun Quan who was pouring wine for him with his arms like snow lotus root. He raised his head and smiled and said something to her, but he didn't hear me at all.

I choked up a breath in my throat, felt a great loss of face, sat down and snorted softly, sifted through the bar in front of me, and drank it all in a daze.

This guy even boasted that he would celebrate my birthday, and he was hooking up with me under my nose. I only thought that he got a new maid in the mansion these few days, and she was very fresh. He never thought of going shopping. Don't forget the eye contact.

After drinking a cup, he stretched out a hand to snatch the cup from the ground, and said: "The doctor said that you have qi and blood disease. When we came out, didn't we say that we should drink a lot." It was Sun Quan.

At this moment, I woke up from the gentle countryside.I stared coldly at the dancer who was kneeling on the ground, and made up my mind to ignore him.

"It's just a few words of entertainment. I haven't seen you angry. What's the matter today." Sun Quan put his arm around my shoulder and coaxed me softly.

"Really?" I relaxed my face and pointed to the dancer: "Then you call her to come over and screen the wine for me."

"What's the matter?" Sun Quan laughed, and said to the dancing girl, "Give it to Mr. Zhou."

"No, the servants will toast the young master, and wish the young master good fortune."

I smiled and said to Sun Quan: "This is very clever, why don't you take it back to the mansion."

"What nonsense." He gave me a reproachful look, and I said to him, "Give me that plate of sugar cake on your dining table, I want to try it."

He turned around to take the small plate, but took it back in a few seconds, but in that split second, the dancer quickly handed over a letter box from the place where her wide cuffs overlapped with my clothes.

I pretended to tidy up my clothes, reached out and tucked the letter into the jacket and skirt in time, then slowly raised my head, showing approval to the dancer girl.

When I returned to the mansion late at night, the first thing I did was to enter the bedroom and draw the curtain on the bed, and took out the letter box from under the clothes.I speculated that Mr. He might want to inform Zhou Yu's whereabouts, but I didn't expect to translate the first sentence. My head was dizzy immediately, and I almost didn't fall out of bed.

"Divination is a great ominous, the five stars lose their degrees, there are illusions in the southeast, and there are catastrophes, so it is good to do so."

There is no mention of Zhou Yu in the whole article.

I climbed out of the bed, lifted the bedside lampshade, threw the secret book into the fire and burned it.The flames sprang upwards, and at this moment, there was a flash of thought in my mind: Zhou Yu appeared for no reason before and hurriedly took away the unicorn jade, which made me faint and weak, his strange excuses and words and deeds... various signs point to A terrible existence.

The cedar barrel smells mildly and lulls you to sleep.My whole body was immersed in hot water, and my thoughts drifted like duckweed, mist, and smoke.

The content of the secret letter is intertwined with thoughts, and the alarm bells in my heart are loud: the illusion appears, where did the illusion come from?

I jumped out of the water and quickly wrapped myself in clothes.The maid outside heard the movement, and asked timidly through the screen: "Ma'am, are you alright?"

"It's nothing." I tightly wrapped the exposed part of my body with white silk, and tremblingly put on my nightgown: "Tell the general, I'll be there in a while."

After finishing my makeup carefully, I walked towards Sun Quan's room with swaying steps.He drank a lot today, his eyes were already drunk, seeing me put another jar of Lihuabai, he waved his hands and laughed, "No, if you drink tonight, you won't be able to wake up tomorrow."

I waved away the maids, and responded with a smile on my face: "Never mind, anyway, we slipped out today, and tomorrow you will be reprimanded by Master Zhang, who cares if you wake up late."

Sun Quan snorted and laughed: "It's reasonable. The time has come, Alan, today is your birthday, and I'll be with you."

I said "hmm", and handed him a little wine in my hand: "General, try this pear blossom white, it was brought by elder brother."

He took a sip, put down the wine, and asked casually: "Your elder brother came to see you a few days ago, what did he say to you?"

I smirked and sat on the edge of the bed: "It seems that I said something about Qu'a's land rent, but I didn't understand it."

"You understand very well." He stroked my temple hair, with a strong smell of alcohol in his mouth, and a hint of drunken rascal in his tone: "I will take care of this matter, and I will definitely not embarrass you. Oh, really I'm tired, what's the matter, let's talk about it tomorrow."

"Up to you." I whispered.

He loosened his long wine-colored hair, and fell asleep soundly in the thick moonlight, sleeping peacefully like a child.

I sighed secretly, and lay sideways with him with dim eyes for an hour or so. When I saw that he was sleeping soundly, I held back my breath, knelt down on the ground with bare feet, and lifted the thick bed cover.

In the narrow space under the bed, there is a vague circle on the ground. If I hadn't known in advance that there might be such a trace, I would definitely not be able to find it.I took out the talisman paper I had prepared earlier from my arms, lit it and threw it into the center of the circle. The fire flashed, and the circle shone instantly, turning into a hexagonal gossip diagram.

This is a symbol of demons that control people's minds.The most frightening thing is that this evil way has always been disguised as a kind of Taoist magic. With its deceitful and wasteful techniques, it is a great loss to both the caster and the recipient.Killing [-] enemies and losing [-], Sun Quan has always had such ample strength to sacrifice poor scapegoats who don't know what to do.

I thought that finding out the truth would not make me so sad, but the fact is that I struggled for a long time and still couldn't get up.So on this cold winter night, on the day of my "birthday", I lay down on the snow-white cashmere blanket, put the ashes of the bitter talisman paper into my mouth little by little with my fingers, and tears fell down.

Perhaps the taste of this talisman is too hard to swallow.

I cleaned up the floor, and finally lay back on the bed, turning my head and watching him quietly.

I have always liked how he sleeps well, likes him to cover me with a quilt, and his good habit of not snoring, and I used to sleep all over the bed, talking in my sleep and drooling, he always patiently put me He hugged him back to his own position, occasionally woke me up rudely when he got impatient, and told me to look at the drool printed on the quilt... I never admit it.

I seem to be laughing, but I can still clearly remember the scene of Zhou Yu appearing in this room that night. A deception: The sorcery that confuses the mind is enough to make me misjudge the person who came, mistook him for Zhou Yu, handed over the unicorn jade pendant and the blood contract to him willingly, and seriously damaged my body.

What an efficient and neat method!Most of the good feelings I had for him in the past stemmed from his ruthless and ruthless courage.At this moment, I can sum it up in four words: Eat the bitter fruit yourself.

I took out a handkerchief from the pile of clothes and wiped my nose. I didn't want my chest to feel hot, a mouthful of blood flowed down my throat, and the handkerchief I sprayed turned red.

This is a living "a mouthful of blood filled with anger"!This idea just floated across my mind, but immediately my stomach twitched violently, and with a "wow", I spit out a big mouthful of blood, which stained most of the cashmere blanket on the ground red.

The maid's footsteps could be heard outside, and several people rushed into the room, taking a deep breath at the same time: "Madam, you..."

"What are you panicking!" I scolded, "Don't make any noise."

"promise……"

"promise……"

Seeing their pale and anxious faces, I said in a deep voice, "Help me out, and change the blanket on the floor." I believed that my eyes would no longer be black after vomiting this mouthful of blood, so I was helped and transferred to the east wing. Just as he was about to say something, his chest tightened, and another mouthful of blood came to his mouth and slowly flowed down the corner of his mouth.

The maids surrounded me, timidly looking like they were about to cry, shouting, "Madam, please get up, General."

"He's drunk," I said, biting my lower lip hard.The qi and blood in my chest churned, barely making me faint.

After all, such a thing could not be covered up. Not long after the mansion's doctors arrived, Wu Guotai and Xu Wan entered the room at the same time.

I hurriedly covered my face with the newly changed handkerchief, and said repeatedly: "Mrs. Guo, your health is very important, please don't come here."

A doctor stepped forward to give me a pulse, and at Sun Quan's end, another doctor said repeatedly, "It's okay, the general is drunk."

The doctor said about my symptoms: "It's mostly caused by the poison invading the spleen, and the pulse congeals. It's really..." It's really near death, right?

I am silent.It seems that there will be a big drama next.

Shen Yu hurried over and led the guards to seal up all the food Sun Quan and I ate before going to bed, and wanted to send someone to investigate what we ate at the night market the night before.

General Sun finally woke up, and when he heard that we went out privately the night before, his mother poked a cane and scolded him a lot.

After that, there was no sound in the hall, he was not fully awake from the wine, and his footsteps were not very agile, he walked across the room to my bed, knelt down and held my hand: "Are you feeling better?"

I swallowed the bloody smell, coldly withdrew my hand and looked away.The instigator is so contrived that I have the urge to vomit.

He asked the doctor, "What's the matter with Madam's illness?"
