Ai Min of Fomalhaut's Self-written Book

?It was not easy until dawn. It seemed as long as a century.A bit of sunlight slanted in through the dilapidated rear window, casting deep and shallow shadows on the straw stacks.

My head felt dizzy, and I faintly heard some commotion outside Dali Temple.

I listened intently.

"My lord, the Empress Dowager has a saying that the young ones can't let anyone in. If you go in, let alone whether the little one's head is still there, just say you, my lord, do you want a good official career?" It was the voice of the boy. .

"Official career? Do you think I care? If I can't even protect my beloved woman, what's the use of my career!"

Voice from Cham!He is finally here!I've never heard him lose his voice in such an anxious and anxious way, as if the ice and snow were scattered, and his cold heart was finally warmed up.

"Okay, my lord, you don't have to give up your official career, you don't have to give up your wealth and life, so what about your Yanwang Palace?" The servant's voice sounded like a persuasive one.

"I..." Cong Zhan's voice was a little slow, he paused for a long time, and then slowly said: "Then please, father-in-law, can you let me see her, just one time." The voice gradually dropped, Almost inaudible.

"My lord, don't embarrass the little one. Listen to the little one's persuasion. There are many girls who admire you, my lord. Why do you insist on liking a girl who is trying to murder the emperor and has ulterior motives!"

"Min'er would never do such a thing, absolutely not..."

I covered my mouth and cried in a low voice, Cong Zhan, I can't let you come to save me by putting yourself in danger, there are dozens of people in Yan Wang's mansion, you can't be implicated because of me, your life in the court is not easy , but you must never anger the Queen Mother and other ministers again.

Time passed by every minute and every second. Although there was no sound at the door, I could feel that he was still there.

"Min'er, don't let anything happen to you." After a long time, I heard his words, accompanied by a mournful sigh.

In the end, he didn't come in, and I don't blame him at all.

At noon, a piece of yellowed steamed corn bread was brought in from the cell, and there were still green vegetables hanging from the soil on a pile of vegetable leaves.

I couldn't swallow it, so I pushed the corn bread and vegetables out of the cell door.

Suddenly I remembered what the boy said when I came in, saying that my life is not long, so I will not cut off my food.

The food of the dying people is like this, so what about the food of the rest of the prisoners?Thinking of this in my heart, the woman's skinny, shriveled and humanoid claws faintly dangled in front of my eyes again.

I didn't eat dinner either.

The night came again, and I curled up with my knees on a piece of straw that was not moldy that I patched together. It was much better to lie here than on the bone-cold ground.

I curled up tightly like a wounded little animal, but I couldn't fall asleep. The cell was as quiet as a tomb, and there was a bone-biting chill, the chill accumulated by countless dead souls.The two unextinguishable lamps in the cell are also like phosphorus fires, the unsightly eyes of ghosts.

I was dizzy, and there were faint movements at the door. The door of Dali Temple opened with a creak, and soon several old men in high-ranking uniforms stepped in and stopped in front of my cell door. One of them had a face full of The man with the fierce face came up and yelled at me: "Bitch, are you convicted?"

Seeing this, I hurriedly got up from the straw, knelt on the ground, and said, "My lord, the little girl was wronged. The water that the little girl gave the emperor to drink is not poisonous. If you don't believe me, let a kitten and a puppy drink it and you will know." gone."

"Bold!" An old man next to me yelled at me again: "How dare you compare the current emperor with these pickled things!"

I hurriedly said: "Your Excellency! The little girl just wants to prove her innocence, and she is not disrespectful to the Holy One! If your lord assumes that the water is poisonous, if you try it for others, it will hurt people a little bit, and you will be confused and dizzy, and you will be cowardly." Litigation prisoner folded H 艋 so repatriated small ぁぁ ぁ ぁ つ condemned tax career pry beautiful Chu liquid sparrow Chun fade sled pardon!

After all, I kowtow endlessly.

After the words were finished, several old men looked at each other in blank dismay, and then they walked aside and whispered something.

I felt a bit of joy in my heart, and hurriedly said: "I believe that the adults will be able to see the details clearly, and they will be able to give the little girl justice."

A few people finished talking, walked to my prison door again, and opened it for me. I was crying with joy and was about to kowtow when a piece of paper was handed to me. There were a few lines of seal script on the dim paper, but I couldn’t read it. don't know.

"Girl, you are here obediently, so you can avoid your physical punishment." It was still the old man with a fierce face, and his suddenly soft tone made me feel creepy.

"Drawing...what bet?" I raised my head to look at him, but my body started to tremble again.

"Confess your sin. To tell the truth, it doesn't matter if you really murdered the Holy Majesty or pretended to murder the Holy Majesty, the current Empress Dowager will never keep you, do you understand?"

Queen Mother, Queen Mother!My back felt cold, and the empress dowager's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling when she looked at me that night flashed in front of my eyes again. It turned out that at that time, she had some calculations in her heart.

I forced myself to be calm and asked, "What will happen if I draw a bet? What will happen if I don't draw a bet?"

The old man laughed: "If you commit the crime, it means you have pleaded guilty. If you don't commit the crime, we will beat you until you commit the crime."

I immediately slumped on the ground, closed my eyes for a long time, opened them slowly, and my tone became much harsher. Looking directly into the old man's eyes, I said in a voice that was not gentle but not forceful: "My lord, if you beat me into a trick, I will I have nothing to say, but I will be prosecuted in public in a few days. If I have scars all over my body, what do you think of the crowd? What do you think of the judge? Moreover, even if I recruit now, you can guarantee I won’t change my words in public? Then I’ll take a step back and say, do you know the emperor’s friendship with me? He never thought that I was harming him. Even if the queen mother is in power now, the world belongs to the emperor after all. , will eventually fall into the hands of the emperor, if you form a relationship with the emperor, will there be a time for you to retire and return to your hometown in the future?"

After the words were finished, there was no sound in the cell.

Seeing that they were silent, my tone softened again, and I advised them: "My lord, good birds know how to choose a tree to live in. Why don't you understand this truth?"

There was another silence, and the old men looked at each other again and again, and finally one person spoke out: "Why not? Why don't we let go of today's matter? For the Queen Mother, let's just say that she refuses to confess her crimes."

"Forget it, it's a waste of money for this girl."

"Errands that even the occupants are unwilling to do, why should we come to this muddy water."

Several people made up their minds, closed the cell door again for me, and left angrily.

When there was no sound of footsteps, my tense body suddenly went limp, and my heart felt unspeakably bitter.

Forget it, it's a calamity that can only be survived. ?
