Xiu Ye and Emperor X

Chapter 46

After returning to the Bamboo Hall, he prepared dinner for Liu Xie, boiled hot water for him to take a bath, washed himself after washing, and put on a loose sackcloth. The water was splashing everywhere, he put down the veil, walked to the window and opened the window, after a while, the clouds outside were dense and thick black, which made it hard to breathe, he always had an ominous premonition.

Liu Xie called out over there.

He frowned slightly, his figure flashed, and disappeared.

In the Bamboo Hall, the lights were bright, Liu Xie was sitting on the ground crying miserably, his fair little face was in a mess, he reached out to touch it from time to time, and with the other hand he was holding on to the clothes of the old maid. A lot of people came out, among the servants of the yellow gate, they were quite impatient holding bright yellow imperial edicts.

The old maid sighed: "Your Highness, please let go, Zhenniang cannot accompany you forever."

Her brows were full of melancholy and sighs.

"I don't..." This was the first time Xiubai saw Liu Xie crying miserably, out of breath, and her voice was shrill and shrill: "I won't let you go, Zhenniang, don't go! Don't go! If I let go, I won't let go!" I won’t see Zhenniang either!”

Xiubai was shocked.He hid behind the door and looked at the Huangmen and the servants. There were sighs on their faces, and most of them were still numb. The eunuch at the head said: "Zhen Niang is relieved to have His Royal Highness thinking about going on the road. Your Highness, just let go." , don’t make it difficult for slaves to wait.”

On the road?

Xiubai seemed to understand something, he ran out and exclaimed: "Your Highness, is something wrong?" As soon as he appeared, the eunuch frowned and said coldly: "Why are you here? Why don't you hurry up?" Leave?" Xiubai walked quickly, and when he said this, he had already run to Liu Xie's side, and stretched out his hand to grab His Highness: "Your Highness, let go quickly, don't let Zhenniang go without worry."

Reach out to break Liu Xie's hand.

Liu Xie refused to let go, his phalanges turned white and his fingernails were slightly stained with blood. He held on to Zhenniang and refused to let go.

"I don't want it! I don't want it!!" the child screamed.

The person who screams has an earache.

As a last resort, he leaned closer, using his internal force to transmit the sound to his ears: "If you believe me, let go, and I will keep Zhenniang safe."

The person who came was from the Empress Dowager He, who executed Zhenniang according to the order of the Empress Dowager Yi. Someone said that she had seen Zhenniang having a relationship with the woman who assassinated Dong Zhuo, but why didn't the truth just be told with one mouth?Empress Dowager He didn't like Liu Xie for a day or two. Apart from Liu Xie and Liu Bian, there were no sons of the former emperor in the palace. To kill Liu Xie, but to kill Liu Xie, if something happens to Liu Bian, who should do it in this world?Could it be that you want to give it to Dong Zhuo with both hands or welcome a side branch?This woman is very conflicted, she can only kill Zhenniang first and then let her own people come over, it is convenient and easy to be a puppet.

Besides, Mrs. Wang was favored in the early years, and Zhen Niang, who was Mrs. Wang's confidant, often tripped her up.

Liu Xie snapped his fingers and let go slightly, Xiubai pulled him away and hugged him into his arms, and raised his head: "Please take Zhenniang away, she has served His Highness for many years, please let her go with peace of mind."

The eunuchs were impatient with Liu Xie's procrastination, and they were flustered by the erroneous errands, so they nodded immediately: "Okay, she is an old man after all, we must let her go comfortably."

The death given by the palace people is mostly rod punishment, but the old master has a choice to give some decent people, dagger, poison, and white silk. As long as Zhenniang doesn't choose Bai Ling, he will have a way to save her.Zhenniang tremblingly knelt down to give Liu Xie a big gift, tears in the corners of her eyes: "The slave is gone, please take care of Your Highness." The moment she raised her head, she was slightly taken aback by Shang Xiubai's gaze, and she lowered her head calmly, wanting to cry in embarrassment Abandon.

The palace servants led her to the main gate of the Bamboo Hall, got to know her with a glass of poisoned wine, and left with the body carried by the little yellow gate.

The Bamboo Hall was empty, and there was a clap of thunder outside, and a splash of rain poured down.

The sky outside is a bit dark, and it is impossible to see from a distance.

Liu Xie'an's face was full of tears, he held Xiubai's hand, and paused every word: "You will save Zhenniang, right?"

Master Xiu laughed: "Why, don't you believe me?"

Touching the child's head, he lowered his head in embarrassment, his big eyes were cold and long eyelashes fluttered, he suddenly raised his head: "I want to see Zhenniang again!" Touching the flesh on his waist, with a sad face, he can go by himself, but Liu Xie can be added, tsk tsk, that's all, let's go together.

Put on Liu Xie's coir raincoat, put on a bamboo hat and camp cover, and rush out in the rain.

There was a loud bang in his ears, and many things were blurred. He dared not take out his umbrella now. If Lu Bu was caught, he would be finished, so he had to be more careful when holding Liu Xie.Zhenniang was carried out of the main palace gate, and carried out by the small gate, and was pulled by a car to be incinerated outside the city. The car was covered with straw mats, and several corpses. Palace people died every month. Since Dong Zhuo was in power, this Dead people become everyday, can't they bring down the mass graves?In Chang'an, most of the dead had close friends, so they were taken to the cremation bureau for cremation. Those with family members were handed over to the family members. If there were no family members, they were buried in the woods outside the cremation bureau.

How much is a home.

On a rainy day, Chang'an Avenue is quiet, there are no pedestrians on the street, and the soldiers patrolling the street lazily wander by.Out of the city gate, Xiubai's figure flashed, seeing the carriage go away, whistled, let out flying sand, carried Liu Xie on the horse, held a sword in one hand and hugged the child in the other, and galloped away.

After a while, I stopped the vehicle before it entered the incineration station, and cut the rope between the vehicle and the person with a single finger of the long sword. The person pulling the vehicle was a rather old man, soaked in sackcloth, trembling when he saw Xiubai Reluctant to speak, he sat paralyzed in the muddy water.

Picking up the long sword, the tip of the sword picked up Zhenniang's body and put it on the horse. He lowered his voice and sneered: "It's a good food. It's chewy for stewing bones."

Plop, the man knelt on the ground, warm liquid flowed out from under his body and overflowed with the rain, his face was pale and he wished he could pass out immediately.

Xiubai laughed to himself, feeling Liu Xie in his arms stretch out his hand to pull him, stretch out his hand to pull the rein, Li Feisha let out a long hiss, raised his hooves and ran away without a trace.

The wind and rain blew on his face, and Liu Xie squeezed out half of his head: "Why are you scaring him?"

"Don't scare him, what if he tells the officials in the palace?"

"You scare him so he doesn't say anything?"

"Where can it be?" Master Xiu smiled slightly. He was soft-hearted. He could have taken away the other corpses in a cart and incinerated them or discarded them. In this way, they would not be able to find a conspicuous place, but those people, who could go home, never came back again. They have lived a lifetime of suffering, and they cannot go back even if they die.

"then you……"

Liu Xie muttered, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he shouted, "Ah, that sentence before you left!"

"Yes, what he said before he left was to tell Shang Fang, but what can those superiors do? What if they dare to provoke someone who likes to eat corpses? One more thing is worse than one less thing, and the incineration bureau will still have to bear the responsibility of this accident."

Liu Xie nodded, half understanding.

The horseshoe stopped in front of a desolate Taoist temple.

He held Liu Xie in one hand and Zhenniang in the other and got off the horse. The Taoist temple was desolate for some days, with cobwebs everywhere and dust all over the ground. Fortunately, it was able to shelter from the wind and rain. Zhenniang was wearing a dress she had worn before she died, and when she reached out her hand to touch it, there was no warmth at all, and Liu Xie's tears dripped down, Xiubai stretched out her hand to him: "Why are you crying!"

"No... woo... I'm not angry..."

"Not angry?" Xiubai smiled slightly, pouring her inner strength, and slapped Zhenniang's back with a palm. Black blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth. When she touched it again, it was clear that she was a little warmer than before. Liu Xie opened her eyes wide in surprise. I can't believe it.

Zhenniang spends half her life in the court, she is shrewd.

She obviously drank half of the poison in her mouth and spit out half of it. The officials didn't look at her when they saw that she was out of breath.It is estimated that when she left the palace, she still breathed a sigh of relief, and it was only after she left the palace.

It would take another quarter of an hour for Xiubai to survive.

Fortunately not long.

"Liu Xie, get out of the way."

Liu Xie scrambled to the side.

The red cherry blossom umbrella draws a rounded arc in the air. The big fan is half closed and half opened with a pinch of fingers. The green light on the tip of the fan suddenly reveals pink petals all over the sky. Falling on Zhenniang's body, all of them disappeared. The white, tender and fat man turned his toes slightly, his brows and eyes drooped. He obviously couldn't see Liu Xie, but he was obsessed with it. His eyes were full of surprise and he was very familiar.

He seems to have seen this person somewhere.

No, you have to be thinner.

Liu Xie thought.

He thought about where he had seen him before, and with a slight cough, Zhenniang slowly opened his eyes. Liu Xie reached out and hugged her regardless of distracting thoughts, and wept with joy: "Zhenniang! Zhenniang!" Breathing gradually stabilized.

Xiubai put away the umbrella and fan: "Are you relieved now?"

Liu Xie nodded with joy.

Zhenniang got up and smiled: "You really saved me." The moment she met Xiubai's eyes, she made a decision that she would die, so it was better to believe him.

"Of course." Pointing at Liu Xie, "He will be sad when you die."

Zhenniang touched Liu Xie's head with a loving face and eyes like water.

"Your Highness is a good boy... From now on, His Highness will entrust it to you..." Zhenniang looked sincerely: "I know you are not from the palace, but if you want to leave, can you pay His Highness before you leave?"

This request is not difficult, Xiubai nodded, if Liu Xie ascended the throne, it would be a big deal for him to fake his death in the future.

"What are you going to do?"

"I can't go back to the palace, I plan to find a shelter outside the city."

When the rain stopped, Xiubai took Zhenniang to find the nearest village and settled down. As an old man, someone was willing to take him in. Zhenniang's knowledge and conversation were very humane, and Xiubai helped the village get rid of the troublesome beasts and healed Lizheng. After the stubborn illness, most people no longer objected, and left money, medicinal materials and some prey for Zhenniang. The weather was getting colder, and it would be winter soon, so he simply thickened the house with loess and put fences around it, and paved the roof The house was covered with thick straw, and the house was lined with furs he bought in the morning. Liu Xie couldn't stay for long, and was reluctant to part.

"Bring Your Highness over when you have time in the future."

"Thank you."

Walking out of Zhenniang's hut, the rain stopped outside, and the stars were sparse at three or two o'clock. I took Liu Xie back on horseback, the horse's hooves clattered, and insects wailed once or twice in my ears.

The child leaned against his fleshy chest, rubbed against it, and said in a nasal voice, "Thank you, Ah Bai."

Master Xiu smiled slightly, and reached out to touch his head. This was the first time he didn't take care of a child for Long Qi.

Feeling good.
