Chunman Palace

Chapter 84 Malice
After a sleepy sleep, Lin Qingyu suddenly smelled a scent, opened her eyes and tried to get out of bed and walk around, the wound on her leg was no longer swollen and painful, so the herbal medicine picked by her was very effective.

Curiously, she rubbed a little herbal medicine on her ankles, put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it gently. If she guessed correctly, this herbal medicine is called Zhonglou, which can detoxify snake venom.

Outside the house, she heard the sound of pans ping-pong, she propped herself up and went out to check, only to see Mo'er coming in with two bowls of golden rice, and said in a panic: "Sister, why did you get up? Your injury is still not healed, Can't get out of bed and move around."

"It's okay, I just want to see what you're doing."

Mo'er put the two bowls of rice away, then went to help her sit up, and said with a smile: "This is rice crust, I tasted it when I was young, the more you chew, the more delicious it is, and it won't choke you if you eat it alone. "

"Okay, let me try it."

The rice is fried golden and crispy, and tastes mellow, which is really a good appetizer.

These days, she always eats some wild vegetables, without any oil or water. Being able to eat this makes her feel much better. After doing embroidery work, she went back to the cave to rest.

The grievances and resentment of these days are rushing left and right like trapped animals, almost stabbing in the heart to burst.Instantly turned into a venomous snake, the scarlet and icy letter wrapped tightly around the chest, winding on it.

There seemed to be a pair of nameless hands ruthlessly strangling her neck, so forcefully that it almost made her suffocate, as if her chest was being hit with a stick, it almost cracked from the bones.

Such resentment and cruelty are as charming and dangerous as poisonous feathers. Hasty footsteps sounded impatiently in her ears. She seemed to have fallen into that dream again. Something was chasing her hard. Bitter, the tongue is also glued to the teeth, the heartbeat is heavy and weak, like a candle that will be extinguished in the dark night.

The clothes were soaked, and the skin was soaked in sweat. She wiped off the sweat with difficulty, pulled the quilt off her body, and breathed in the dry air.

Mind wandering, she hurriedly drank the cup of long-cooled thick tea on the table, as if she heard the sound of cold rain, knocking on the door, but outside the door was sunny, quiet and peaceful.

Ever since she entered the Vanity State, she has never had a peaceful day in her heart. Sadness, grief and indignation are always in her heart, and there is nothing wrong with it.Her longing for her elder sister was increasing day by day, her eyes were often dry and painful, like a dry well that could no longer shed tears, only to see several feet of deep moss covering it, and her sadness was always uncontrollable.

There was no turmoil in her heart, she just stared at the window in a daze all day long, although she always wanted to encourage herself, her mood plummeted every night, such ups and downs of emotions made her even more physically and mentally exhausted, sad and hurt, unable to vent.

Such dry and pale days, after a long time, she felt a little boring, and it was uncomfortable day after day. She just felt as if she was placed in a steamer, unable to break out of the window.

Except for occasional visits to see her, there are not many people who can come to Fanhua State. De Ji and Shunxian can be heard talking lively outside all day long, and he is bored in the room like a silent person. Calabash, so cold and quiet.

Seeing her always looking so depressed, Mo'er was worried, so she tried to make her happy, or made delicious food and told a few interesting stories.

The color in Lin Qingyu's heart was still gray and bitter, she turned all the bitterness into a faint smile, and returned tenderness to Mo'er's kindness.

These days, her body is getting better and better, and she also started to help Mo'er to share the work of chopping firewood and carrying water, but she lacks strength, and she does it a little slowly. Cold into the skin.

At night, De Ji and Shunxian had already started to cook the food, steaming a pot of wild vegetable porridge with cornmeal. Only half a bowl was used, and the Shunde sisters had already started serving the second bowl of wild vegetable porridge.

Seeing that Lin Qingyu hadn't moved a few chopsticks, Mo'er brought Lin Qingyu's bowl to serve her, but De Ji swayed and blocked the person.

Mo'er glared at the human being and said, "What are you doing? You won't even be allowed to serve the rice?"

De Ji raised his voice in disdain and said, "We're not full yet, don't you still have half a bowl, fill it up after you drink it!"

Mo'er said angrily: "What's the reason for not letting people get enough to eat? We have done a lot of work, why wait for you to be full before letting us eat! You are too bullying."

De Ji shoved the man, and said with his arms crossed: "Do you think you are the masters of the palace, how precious are you? Now that you are here, you are just like us civilians! What good things are you thinking about, how precious are you?" , some food is good.”

Mo'er felt the smell of moldy rags coming, and she couldn't help covering her nose with her sleeves and said, "I do the same job, why are you divided into different classes? Can you bully people like this when you cook? Good firewood, isn’t the water we picked up used ours?”

De Ji snorted coldly, wiped his nose with his dark and greasy fingers, raised his head and said: "What, we sisters have worked so hard to cook for you to eat, you don't think it's enough, it's too late? You don't have to if you don't want to eat." Eat!" She reached out and snatched the bowl from Mo'er's hand, and poured the remaining porridge back into her own bowl.

"You...!" Mo'er pointed at the person angrily, "It's really unreasonable, if you don't let us eat it, you don't even want to eat it!" She grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground and threw it directly into the pot.

De Ji immediately let out a cry like killing a pig, and quickly splashed the porridge covered with soil with a spoon, but it was too late, the mud had already melted into the bottom of the pot, even if the surface layer was skimmed off, it was still a porridge. fishy smell.

"You you you! You girl, see if I don't teach you a lesson!" She rolled up her sleeves and was about to slap her as she spoke.

Seeing this, Lin Qingyu immediately leaned over to block it.

At this time, Shun Xian, who had been silent all this time, slammed his chopsticks on the table, then looked at Deshun coldly, and said, "What are you doing! Don't lose your sense of proportion."

De Ji was so frightened that he obediently withdrew his hand.

Shunxian stood up at this time, and walked towards Mo'er and Lin Qingyu expressionlessly. Mo'er thought she was going to do it herself, so she quickly stretched out her hand to protect Lin Qingyu and retreated.

Shunxian said with a blank expression: "Since you have come to this Vanityland, you should abide by the rules here. As the saying goes, there is no rule without rules. The two of us are here to take care of the environment for the emperor. The vegetables in the vegetable garden are sun-dried. The dried millet is all made by ourselves, we naturally have the right to eat first, as for asking the two of you to eat, it is out of good intentions."

She paused and said, "If the two of you don't want to, you can find a way to eat it yourself."

Mo'er said indignantly: "If you do it yourself, you can do it yourself! What's the big deal! The water and the firewood are also divided!"

De Ji squinted at her, and said disdainfully: "Okay, then you can make wooden barrels and fetch firewood yourself, and don't use our axes and knives to dig iron mills yourself!"

These words woke up Lin Qingyu a bit, now the two of them are powerless, all the tools have to be used by others, so they can't really make their own tools and pots in the future, can they?If the interest relationship is ruined, then life will be really difficult.

Thinking of this, Lin Qingyu hurriedly stopped Mo'er who was about to speak, and turned to salute De Ji and Shun Xian: "Mo'er is ignorant, I'm here to apologize to you two, we will definitely abide by the rules from now on." After finishing, she went back to the house and took a few apples, "These things should be regarded as a gift in return, thank you two for taking care of me these days."

Shunxian smiled lightly: "Ms. Lin knows the rules. If that's the case, then we will cook as usual in the future, and you can continue to use these pots and pans, so let's forget about it." She looked at the pot The remaining wild vegetable porridge in the pot, said coldly: "De Ji, this pot of porridge can't be drunk anymore, pour it out."

"Tsk, what a waste of food." De Ji sighed and glanced at the porridge in the pot, as if he was a little bit reluctant, but he also carried it to the stream to wash it.

After such a big scene, Lin Qingyu also lost his appetite to eat, Chao Shunxian gave a slight signal and went back to the house.

Mo'er clutched her stomach, she didn't seem to be full, she took out another bag of pastries from the basket, "This is the last bag of red bean cakes, my sister must not be full just now, eat quickly."

Lin Qingyu shook her head: "I can't eat it, you should eat it...Mo'er, you really shouldn't tear yourself apart with them today, under the eaves, you don't see them when you look up, you see them when you look down."

Mo'er lowered her head and said: "Sister, I understand what you mean, I was rude about this matter, and I will never be like this again."

"Okay, don't frown, I'll eat some red bean cake with you." Lin Qingyu took the kettle and poured tea respectively.

"Now this tea is almost not enough to drink. Fortunately, I brought a few bags from the palace. In a few days, I'm afraid I will only be able to drink plain water..." Mo'er sighed, blinking her eyes, and suddenly remembered something, " By the way, we can ask the Zeyu guards to help us bring some tea from Vanity State, as well as pots and tools, and we can also find the Zeyu guards, anyway, we also have money."

Lin Qingyu struggled and said: "Zezu...he is just spying on us in the name of the emperor, it is unreasonable to ask him to help."

Mo'er tilted her head and said, "Maybe? If the guards are willing to help us bring in some tools, we won't have to look at the faces of those two women anymore. When the time comes, they will pass theirs and we will pass ours." Irrelevant any more."

Lin Qingyu thought for a while, and said: "But even if you have the tools, where are you going to grow this vegetable? They occupy the vegetable garden closest to your residence. If you go into the woods to open up, you will encounter some poisonous insects and snakes."

"The method is alive, don't be afraid." Mo'er took a bite of the red bean cake and said thoughtfully.

"Take your time, don't rush." ​​Lin Qingyu took a sip of tea lightly, but he was thinking about something else.

I don't know how the people at home are doing now?Can she still withstand those hardships, and now she is suffering as much as one of their tenths?She still had a place to comfort her, but her family members had no choice but to flee to the army.

Lin's father is very old, and he has handled fifty boards of sticks. Can the emperor let him practice before going on the road?The distance is long and there is no car to drive. How hard is this walking all the way?Now it's the beginning of summer, and although the sun isn't too poisonous, it's still blinding to the sun. Can they bear it?
With such thoughts in mind, she fell asleep anxiously.

Anxious, she looked very thin, she looked at herself by the water, the collarbone under her neck protruded, and her face was pale and dull, without gouache, she looked a bit dull.Like faded and withered epiphyllum, only faintly releasing the fragrance that is about to dissipate.

The sound of the water fell softly, and with the sound of the oars paddling the water, a man stepped onto the shore neatly.

Without even thinking about it, she said, "Master Zezu is here?"

There was no response from the person who came, and she looked up suspiciously, only to find that it was a man in black that she had never seen before.

The man's eyes were fierce, revealing a fierce light like a knife, which made her tremble in her heart, and she took a few steps back unnaturally.

"Who told you to come!"

The man sneered, pulled out the knife without any explanation, and slashed at her.

"Ah...!" She rolled away sideways, grabbed a handful of dirt and threw it at the man's face.

The person who came must be an assassin hired by her enemies in the palace. She has been far away from the deep palace and cannot return. Who is still pressing her hard?
Just at this moment, the man came over again with a knife.

Her life was at stake, and she couldn't think about who it was anymore, so she rolled aside sideways and grunted.

Her body touched a small sharp stone, and she took a few breaths of air in pain, barely stood up and ran into the woods.

The man wiped the dust from his eyes, and chased after her fiercely, until he entered the forest, and the person seemed to have evaporated, and he couldn't find her. Now that the light and darkness have changed, he has also raised his spirit and vigilance.

A woman who is seriously ill and has no martial arts can pull him down so far, she must be panting for breath now, this cannot escape his ears.

The strange thing is that he couldn't hear any strange sounds.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the grass on his right, and he immediately chopped down, only cutting down some weeds and dead branches.

Immediately afterwards, the grass on his left also made a strange sound, which sounded like the low roar of a wild animal. His face changed drastically, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat, but he also took the courage to stab down.

It seemed that something had been stabbed, but it seemed that nothing had been stabbed.

Unreal, he suddenly felt that his hands were covered with blood.

The blood did not come from the blade, but from his own abdomen. He was startled and took a few steps back, leaning against a tree.

With a few hisses, the man fell down, foaming at the mouth.

At this moment, Lin Qingyu suddenly came out from behind the tree, raised a basin-sized stone and smashed it at the man's head with a "bang bang", the man was sober for a moment due to the severe pain, but soon followed by dizziness and severe pain. Completely lost vitality.

The soil she threw at the man just now contained the medicine she made from poisonous weeds earlier, which can make people nervous and cause hallucinations.If someone guides it, the effect will be even greater.

Blood splattered, and the movement of her hands became more and more violent, until the man's head could no longer be distinguished, and she threw the stone tremblingly, and suddenly laughed absentmindedly.
