Pour the glass

"It's getting late, and it's time for me to go back to the palace." Ye Lingxi looked at the sky, looked at Su Zhexue, and said with a smile, "Miss Su, it must be that the medicine given by me must be heavy , Qi Ziyuan might not be able to get out of the hut."

Although Su Zhexue was worried, but now was not the time to visit Ziyuan, she knelt down and said, "This idiot always gets into trouble, and he should be taught a lesson, Zhexue still wants to thank the princess for believing in the innocence of this idiot, and willing to give this idiot An idiot has a chance to make a comeback."

Ye Lingxi smiled and said: "He needs Zhaoxue, and this palace needs the stability of the court. He is useful to this palace, so this palace is naturally willing to help him. After I leave in a while, you can tell him that seven days later, the imperial guards will hold a grand ceremony. Come on time to participate. At that time, I will arrange everything, and all he has to do is to win the Captain's Grand Ceremony No. 1."

"Ministers, remember." Su Zhexue nodded gratefully.

Ye Lingxi helped Su Zhexue up, and said with a smile: "This month is very lively, I hope that the Oiran's big test will be held, and I can see Miss Su's splendor this year."

Su Zhexue said with a smile: "Minnie girls must try their best to compete for beauty."

"Okay, I'll just wait and see." After Ye Lingxi finished speaking, she motioned for the old palace slave to follow her out of Zui Jinxi.

Su Zhexue sent each other off all the way, until seeing Ye Lingxi and the old palace slave getting into the carriage, he breathed a sigh of relief and retreated to the backyard.

"It seems that this idiot has found a shortcut to return to the guard camp by mistake..." Su Zhexue was secretly happy for Ziyuan, thinking of the conversation with Princess Chushan today, even more comfortable, even though Chushan is the beauty of heaven Female, and I am just a prostitute, but there is a bit of a confidant in the conversation, which can be regarded as another big gain today.

"I'm afraid this idiot's stomach will suffer..." Su Zhexue laughed dumbly, thinking of the appearance of this idiot just now, couldn't help but chuckled again.

"Zhexue, who is it that came upstairs today?" Seeing that there was no one around, the old bustard walked over quickly, dragged Su Zhexue to the eaves, and asked in a soft voice.

Su Zhexue smiled lightly, "Dayun is now the third princess, Princess Chushan."

The old bustard was taken aback, "She... I have already seen that this person is a woman, but I didn't expect it to be a princess!"

Su Zhexue nodded and smiled, and said respectfully, "This is an interesting princess, Dayun is blessed to have her here."

The old bustard has never seen Su Zhexue respect someone so much, "It seems that you and Princess Chushan have a very happy conversation today."

Su Zhexue nodded again, remembering Ziyuan, and asked anxiously, "Is Ziyuan still in the hut?"

The old bustard shook her head and said: "Where does this stinky girl know where she went? I saw her just now, and she disappeared in a blink of an eye."

Su Zhexue breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that she's not in the latrine, and the medicine must not be that strong. I'll go and order the kitchen to make some light dishes for her."

The old bustard held Su Zhexue back, "Zhexue, I still want to remind you that the Lord's important matter is the real thing, and you must not delay the Lord's important event because of this... this relationship. After all, the Lord can now It's only you and me to rely on."

Su Zhexue said seriously: "Mom, this Zhexue has always understood."

"Without the lord, there would be no you and me today. Maybe you and I are already passers-by in the underworld, so..."

"So Zhexue's life is still the Lord's. For the sake of the Lord's great affairs, even if Zhexue sacrifices her life, she will not hesitate." Su Zhexue finished speaking firmly, and suddenly smiled, "My life was stolen. Being able to spend one more day with her is an extra day, Zhexue is already content."

"Oh, silly Zhexue." The old bustard shook her head and sighed, when will this prodigal slut realize that if a meticulous work has too deep roots, it will be a crime.

The night is gradually falling, and drunk tonight is at its busiest time again, the front hall is full of laughter and laughter, and people are drunk.

The backyard is always a quiet place.

Ah Ling was sitting in the room with no candles and no windows open, just like when he was in the cold palace back then, it was always so dark and cold.

"Squeak-"

The closed windows seemed to be blown open accidentally by the wind, and a ray of cold moonlight penetrated, falling coolly on the floor.

A Ling looked at the ray of light vigilantly, and yelled, "Who?!"

A little firefly flew out of this ray of light, flew into this dark room, and danced lightly in front of A-Ling. Although it was a little lonely, it could be regarded as adding a bit of vitality to the dead silence here.

Ah Ling breathed a sigh of relief. Over the years, she never dared to lose her guard.On the day when the mother concubine left, she didn't understand the reason for what she told her at first. Even when the concubine mother failed to assassinate the national teacher at the state teacher's mansion, she and her sister were thrown into limbo for multiple crimes. She didn't understand why A mother and concubine who is a vegetarian and respects the Buddha would do such a rebellious thing.

until……

She met a mad maid in the cold palace. It is said that she was the personal maid of Xiao Qingqing, the only female emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty. Jiang Zui was thrown into the cold palace and left to fend for himself.

"Bugs... a lot of bugs..."

"Let me bite you... Aww... Hehe... Take a bite and you will become a fairy... Become a fairy..."

Listening to the mad maid's crazy words, at first Ah Ling, like everyone in the Leng Palace, thought that she lost her soul because of being frightened by the Gu worms raised in the palace.

However, Ah Ling listened to her mother and concubine, and gave the best things to her younger sister every day, and she ate white rice every day. All her actions were seen by this crazy court lady.For some unknown reason, this crazy court lady suddenly got into trouble with her everywhere, forcing her to eat leftover vegetables with light oil every day.After a long time, Ah Ling would also resist, and finally one day, Ah Ling's resistance alarmed the guards in the cold palace, so she and the crazy maid were hung behind the gate of the cold palace, fasting for three days to think about their past.

When the other people in the Leng Palace saw this scene, they were all afraid of getting bad luck, and they dared not and would not go to deliver food to these two murder-seekers. They avoided it when they saw it from a distance.

"Why are you so stupid, kid?"

As soon as the crazy palace lady said these words, Ah Ling knew that the old woman beside her was definitely not really crazy.

"I promised my concubine...I can't..."

"Do you know that what Gu worms like to eat most is... people with clean internal organs... Every woman who enters the National Teacher's Mansion is all Gu worms... Gu worms... hotbed..."

Ah Ling instantly understood a lot, no wonder her father chose her mother and concubine to go to the National Teacher's Mansion to chant scriptures, no wonder her mother and concubine would suddenly assassinate the national teacher...

"My child, you have to remember that the cleaner you are, the more useful you are. As long as you are still useful, you can survive, and so can Xia'er..."

Ah Ling suddenly understood what the concubine mother meant, but also understood why the concubine mother wanted to assassinate the national teacher.Only the two sisters are thrown into limbo due to their crimes, and they can have a chance to escape the fate of being killed by Gu insects. If they really can't escape, then Ah Ling can sacrifice for her sister again. If the three of them mother and daughter It is the best and best result that one person can survive.

A-Ling's memories are like tides, coming in waves one after another, and every bit of it is heart-piercing cold and pain. She doesn't realize that there are more and more fireflies in the room, like stars in the sky.

Ziyuan poked her head out of the window secretly, looked at the absent-minded and tearful Ah Ling inside, frowned slightly, and said in her heart: "Miss Ah Ling, what sad thing is hiding in your heart?"

A Ling stretched out her hand, let a firefly rest on her fingertips, smiled coolly, and murmured, "Are you okay?" Suddenly, she seemed to notice Zi Yuan's peeking, and suddenly Standing up, she stared fiercely at the window with sharp eyes, "Qi Ziyuan, what kind of tricks are you playing?!"

Ziyuan coughed dryly twice, gently pushed the window a little further, stood by the window, and said apologetically, "I just wanted to put a few fireflies to make you happy, Miss Ah Ling, but I didn't expect...no Thinking of...hehe, I remembered that my sister seems to be waiting for me to eat, so I'll go first!"

"Stop!" A Ling suddenly stopped Zi Yuan coldly, and saw her walk to the window heavily, "How long have you been eavesdropping here?"

Ziyuan quickly covered her ears, "I didn't hear anything!"

"Turn around!" Ah Ling suddenly yelled again, making Zi Yuan turn her back to her. Seeing Zi Yuan's laughing face in the past few days, Ah Ling only felt that there would always be some strangeness in her heart. ripples.

Ziyuan was stunned for a moment, and could only obediently turn around, "Miss Ah Ling, if you are unhappy about something, just don't think about it."

"Is it okay if you don't want to?" A Ling stared blankly at Ziyuan's back, and said sadly, "How can the world be as simple as you think?"

Ziyuan shook her head and said: "It's really not simple, but people can't live in memories..." When Ziyuan thought of the fragmented memory, her brother actually killed her, she felt an indelible feeling in her heart. The coolness wrapped around her heart tightly, "Miss Ah Ling, sometimes the burden is too heavy, you might as well put it down once in a while, if the things in your heart are too bitter, you might as well forget it for a while..." Zi Yuan raised her mouth slightly as she said that. , turned his face thievingly, and made a pig-headed expression, "Why don't you smile more, how about it?"

A Ling suppressed her smile and looked at Zi Yuan with a cold face, without saying a word.

Ziyuan coughed dryly twice, feeling extremely frustrated, "Isn't this going to make you laugh?"

A Ling looked at Zi Yuan coldly, "Do you really want me to laugh?"

Ziyuan nodded, "Miss Ah Ling, can you tell me a thing or two?"

"It's actually very simple..." After Ah Ling finished speaking coolly, Ziyuan always felt something was wrong in her heart, and saw Ah Ling suddenly stretched out her hand, grabbed her right arm, rolled up her sleeve, and He bit it hard.

"Ah! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!" Ziyuan wanted to push A Ling away, but she was afraid that her hands and feet would be too heavy and hurt her and make her sister embarrassing. Be merciful! Be merciful!"

"Heh..." Ah Ling let go of Ziyuan's arm, raised her hand to wipe off the blood stains from the corner of her mouth, looked at Ziyuan with a smile, and said with a hint of curse, "Do you still dare to pretend to be smart?"

She had a bright smile, and a few fireflies were just flying around her temples, and the faint light shone on her slightly flushed cheeks. At this moment, Ah Ling made people feel an indescribably poignant feeling, which was heart-warming. pity.

Ziyuan gasped, and just met Ah Ling's eyebrows, she was stunned, she didn't know what to say for a while, and then she stood by the window.

A Ling realized her gaffe, quickly took a step back, hastily closed the window, and said sharply: "It was just a small punishment, if you are so smart in the future, I will punish you and sister Su together!"

"I..." Ziyuan rubbed the bloody tooth marks on her right arm, secretly called "unlucky", said "yes" and sadly left the small courtyard.

Hearing Ziyuan's thin footsteps walking away, Ah Ling's frantically beating heart slowly calmed down.

She breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and raised her hand, and her fingertips touched the blood stains belonging to Zi Yuan on her lips. Not long after, her smile faded away, and she murmured: "You are Zhexue's idiot, so you can do it yourself." She's been an idiot all her life..."
