A Collection of Old Sayings by Fourth Sister You
Chapter 152 Lin Yuan
Chapter 152 Lin Yuan (15)
According to literature records, "Crossing the Dead" can bring people back to life.
The weather outside the customs is very strange, the sky is clear one moment, and there may be thunder and lightning the next moment.Sometimes in the same city, the south of the city is almost submerged, but the north of the city is dry for thousands of miles.
The weather is bad, and it is rare to be free. Lian Deng has nothing to do, so I stand in front of the window and look outside.The orchids in the flower beds were beaten up and down, raindrops the size of sparrow eggs fell indiscriminately, and the good vegetation was destroyed.
Cultivate the soil when the weather is fine. You don’t need to clean up the sand just after it rains. You can follow the gardener to walk around. Maybe you can reach King Ding’s study.She stood on tiptoe and looked into the distance. The rain curtain was dense, the outside was gray, and the air was filled with the smell of mud and dust.Thinking of last night, the national teacher took the risk to deliver the medicine, and now remembering that there is still a faint joy.
He said he was always around, but he didn't know where.He didn't mention the predicament he was facing, but she knew that King Ding had an army of [-], and there were many dead soldiers. He didn't bring many people, so it would take a lot of effort to infiltrate.It's strange that he can plan in many ways, but he never kills. If he can show his horse easily, ten kings might not be enough to kill!This person is just so hypocritical, but that's okay, she wants to avenge her father's murder by herself.After King Ding is settled, if he can return to Chang'an alive, then kill the fish that slipped through the net.
It's a pity that she can't remember her Aye's appearance at all, and A Niang, she can't remember it completely.She just clung to a belief and killed her enemy to prevent Ye Niang's blood from being shed in vain.
Ah Bao was cleaning the table next to her, called her, and said with a smile: "I'm so preoccupied, what are you thinking about? You won't think about His Highness Chen He anymore, right?"
She said dully, "Why do you think about those irrelevant things?"
A Bao said: "His Royal Highness Chen He is not married yet, if he returns to the Central Plains to be an official in the future, it would be nice to stay away from Suiye City."
She smiled, I'm afraid they are planning to return to the Central Plains, not to be officials, but to be emperors!
Suddenly she heard someone calling her, she hurried to the door to see, there was an impatient Fu Mu standing on the porch, tucking his hands together and said: "Little lady, follow me to Liangfeng Palace, Your Highness is calling."
She was a little confused, "Mum, do you know why Your Highness passed me on?"
Fu Mu glanced at her, "How do I know His Highness's thoughts? Don't ask me, you will know when you go."
Lian Deng bowed and followed her to the room. The rain splashed down the corridor and wet the corners of her skirt.She walked along the wall and met His Highness Chen He when she came to a door with hanging flowers. She raised her eyes and smiled, and saluted him.
His Highness Chen He was a very kind person, he bowed his hands back and turned around to ask Fu Mu where he was going.Fu Mu crossed his hands and said: "The princess has something to call Miss Song, and this slave will lead the little lady to the Cool Wind Hall." He smiled and said, "Have you finished reading your highness today? Don't move around, go back quickly." , Pay attention to the teacher's instructions."
Even though Lian Deng saw that the old slave was smiling, there was contempt in his tone.What kind of master will teach what kind of servant, the servants in Liangfeng Palace don't respect the prince very much!
She quickly took pleasure in him, and hurried to catch up with Fu Mu.After entering the Hall of Cool Breeze, I saw the princess wearing a spring green collar and apricot-yellow single-silk silk painting, leaning on a table to look at the embroidery of a skirt.
She and Tan Nu exchanged glances, Tan Nu hadn't slept all night, his eyes were bloodshot, but he still stood upright.She stepped forward to pay homage, then stepped aside and waited for orders.
The concubine did not speak for a long time, she took the silk and looked at it again and again, admiring the beautiful women's embroidering skills.After a while, I turned my eyes to her, "Have you ever learned embroidery?"
Lian Deng said no, "My servant is from a poor family, and I have no chance to see silk, let alone learn embroidery. I can only do a little sewing, and it is difficult to be elegant."
The concubine glanced at her with her chin on her shoulders, "Your talk sounds like someone who has been studying for two days. Can poor people also read?"
Lian Deng felt a little nervous, and wondered if there was something wrong for her to see.Thinking about it, she probably didn't, since she entered the palace, she paid special attention to it, no matter how powerful Mrs. Li is, she is not a fairy after all.Then he lowered his hand and said, "Returning to Your Highness, I, Aye, used to be a juzi, but I moved to Dunhuang after failing to go to high school many times. The servant girl has been studying with Aye since she was a child, and she knows a few words."
The princess was thoughtful, "I think you are very similar to an old friend... Where is your mother from? What is her name?"
Tan Nu turned his eyes, wondering what Princess Ding's intention was.Lian Deng said: "My maidservant's mother is also from Guanzhong. Her maiden name is Cui Wuniang. I, Aye, call her A Cui."
The concubine turned her eyes to the colorful painting on the beam, sighed slowly, and said to herself: "A Cui...it should be called A Tang." Fu smiled at her, "Since he can mend, he must know how to thread needles. I want to embroider a Buddhist scripture, and you will thread the needle for me."
Lian Deng was a little surprised, it was rumored that she came here just to get the needle inserted, but it was really unclear what the princess was paying attention to.
The servant girl came over with a tray, she took a look, and it was exactly as she expected.Where is it so easy for her to pass the test, it must be that the needle eye is extremely thin and the embroidery thread is extremely thick.This kind of gold wire is twisted with multiple strands, and it doesn't work if you just drill it through a point, but if you pull the wire, it will be strangled.So the concubine started to make things difficult for her again, but this time it was not a martial fight, but a literary fight.
After all, a good beating is unavoidable, she thought while she was wearing it, it would be really bad if it went on like this, if there is no revenge, and being squeezed all day long, even the best patience will be worn out.If you want to have an attack, you can't, you can only grit your teeth and struggle with needle and thread.
She tried many times, and the scissors trimmed and trimmed the end of the thread, but she couldn't get it through.This kind of thing is not like practicing martial arts, it consumes energy.She tried her best, but still made no progress.
Princess Ding didn't give her much time, she looked at her with a smile, and asked someone to bring the hourglass, "If you haven't done it after the sand has flowed, then I will punish you."
There was thunder outside, and the windows in the hall were closed tightly, there was no wind, and the light was dark enough.Lian Deng has sharp eyes and can see the eye of a needle clearly, but the thread is too thick, just like wearing big shoes for small feet and being able to get by, but for big feet wearing small shoes, it is difficult to pull out the heel.
It is useless to intercede, if Princess Ding is merciful, she will not be given such a difficult problem.She bit her lip, sweat dripping from the tip of her nose.Seeing that the hourglass was about to run out, the princess fiddled with Kodan's dyed fingertips, smiling happily.
"It's here." She clapped her hands when the last grain of sand flowed out, "You can't even do such a small thing, and it's useless to stay in the palace. Tan Nu..." She turned her head and called, "You brought me a She came in to have something to eat. Since she entered the mansion as a slave, no matter whether it is a private servant or an official servant, she will be at my disposal. I found a family with you, and Cai Shiba, who is in charge of the warehouse, asked for rewards several times , There has been no suitable candidate, I think you are strong and healthy, you can't wear a needle, and it shouldn't be difficult to wield a hoe. You go and marry him, don't stay in the mansion any longer, I don't like you. "
It's good not to like to put it bluntly, but it sounds a little ridiculous to marry her.Lian Deng bowed her hands, "Your Highness, please forgive me. The servant girl is filial. Even if she wants to marry, she will have to wait two years. It is not filial to marry someone now."
The concubine was furious, "How do you get into the palace with filial piety? Who will you offend?" She raised her voice and called someone, "Send this lowly maidservant to the slave market, no matter who it is, we'll talk about it after selling it."
Several house slaves clenched their fists and rolled up their sleeves and wanted to fight, this was unexpected by Lian Deng and Tan Nu.Tan Nu intends to intercede, if there is no change, at worst, he will fight to the death.Just as he was about to open his mouth, someone at the door called to stop, and when he turned his head, it was His Royal Highness.
The slaves retreated immediately, Chenhe bowed to the concubine, "What is it that makes the empress angry, tell me, let me vent my anger for the empress."
The concubine's face softened a little. After all, he was his son. Even if he didn't wait to see him again, the name of the son was here.In the future, when the king dies of old age, she will still obey her son, although she doesn't think Chenhe can live longer than Aye.
She pointed to the lotus lamp, "She can't even thread a needle well. The palace doesn't support idlers, so they ordered someone to sell her. It's quiet if you don't see it."
Lian Deng saw the right moment and cried to the prince, "I don't want to be betrayed, please help your servant."
Chenhe gave her a stable look, and smiled at the princess: "Son, I saw her sweeping the floor in the garden yesterday, why did you come to be a female celebrity next to the empress today? She is a rough person, like a villager and a wild old man. Knowing poetry and painting is the same. People who handle brooms don’t know how to thread needles and threads, so they will naturally dislike the empress. If the empress is unhappy with her, let her go to the nursery. I happen to be a handmaid who does rough work, so I ask the empress to reward her Give me."
The concubine glanced sideways, "You are still young, so you are in a hurry to find someone right now?"
Chenhe was not anxious, he said calmly: "My son is just short of a handyman, my mother misunderstood."
The concubine was obviously very upset, but she couldn't openly refuse, telling people that even a servant would not reward her son, which further confirmed her charge of contemptuous of the son.After thinking about it, it was just a slight resemblance. The damned person is already dead, so there is no need to be so grieved, so he nodded reluctantly, "Since you want it, take it back and discipline it. The mang maid who came up from Mo , If you don’t take care of yourself, you won’t be an adult. But I have a word with you first, you are not in good health, Fengyu said that you can’t marry a daughter before you have a weak crown, you have to take it to heart, don’t waste your life in vain.”
Chenhe blushed immediately, Nuonuo said yes.Lian Deng gave Tan Nu a wink, asking her to be safe and calm, and followed the prince out of the Cool Wind Palace.
Unexpectedly, unintentionally inserting a willow will bring her one step closer to King Ding. This is a thankful leap.The prince often has contacts with King Ding, and he is much more favored than that tricky princess.As long as she hugged Shizi's thigh tightly, she would not worry about not seeing Prince Ding.
She chased after her and thanked her, "Thanks to Your Highness today, otherwise I would have been sold! Your Highness has shown a kindness to Aning, please stay and receive Aning's respect."
He reached out and put his hand on her elbow, "I knew something would happen when you entered the Cool Wind Palace, so I waited on the veranda and came to rescue you when I got the news. You don't have to thank me, I just want to make up for the past It's a pity that I was able to save a very close person, but because I didn't make a sound because of cowardice, I ended up killing her... You look a bit like her, I can't bear to see you being trafficked. Go back to Shiziyuan with me, you don't go out, The concubine will not come to provoke you either. I have nothing important to do there, I usually tidy up the books, and just serve the study room for me when I practice calligraphy."
She was stunned for a moment, this Mr. Jia was like a clear stream in the troubled world, he might be the only kind person in the Ding Palace.But knowing people, knowing face but not knowing heart, maybe he doubted her and Tan Nu, and just followed the trend.
She stammered: "The maidservant is rough with hands and feet..."
He turned his head and smiled, "I said that to you just now, don't take it to heart. I can see that you are different from those servants. I heard you say that you have read books before, good person, don't be sleepy." In a bunch of rough work, I wasted my previous knowledge. Although handling paper and ink is trivial, it is better than being light and elegant, and it is not an insult to you."
Lian Deng nodded hurriedly, "My maidservant can't wait for it. Your Highness is really my nobleman. No wonder the magician said that I have a lucky star this year. It turns out that the lucky star is His Highness."
Chenhe's brows and eyes are peaceful, when he looks at her, there is no thought of him in his eyes.Turning my head to look at the sky, the rain gradually stopped, the sky was washed, and it was so blue that it almost dripped down.A ray of light shone on the blue brick in front of him, he stopped and murmured: "It's sunny."
Lian Deng used his heart, and was curious about the people he said could be saved but could not be saved, "Your Highness said that I look like a person, who is that person?"
He fell silent, and said after a while: "It was the person I valued most when I was young. We are two years apart, and you are about the same age as her."
"Then where is she now?" She asked cheekily, "Why didn't His Highness save her? Did she make any mistakes?"
He stood still, seemed to be lost in memory, and shook his head very slowly, "She didn't do anything wrong, it's just that she didn't reincarnate into a good family. Now... maybe in a place with green mountains and green waters, living a life without troubles Bar!"
Lian Deng didn't find out any inside story, and he didn't understand what he said, so he followed him back to Xingyuan, where there are birds singing and flowers fragrant, and bamboo buildings and clear springs.
Chenhe is just like his name, it's amazing that he doesn't compete with the world.They had just entered the hall when Zhan Shilai, his subordinate, came back to report some things that had shaken his position as the eldest son.After hearing this, he just smiled, "Don't care about him, this position is for the capable. The capable also work hard. I'm so lazy, it doesn't matter to be a peaceful idler."
Lian Deng looked at him suspiciously, not striving for fame and fortune, this kind of mind is more open-minded than the national teacher.Then serving pen and ink by his side further confirmed this point. He practiced calligraphy and painting, and he could spend half a day casually.King Ding valued him very much, when he was not going, he would occasionally send someone to bring some fruit, and from time to time send someone to ask about his homework.He is very talented in learning, as if all the shortcomings in his body have been accumulated and stored in his brain. King Ding loves this elegant and knowledgeable son very much.
In the days of Shizi Xingyuan, time became very quiet and soothing.When she had nothing to do, she looked through his notes, and he recorded the customs and customs of the Western Regions sporadically, and said that he would write a book "The Classics of the Western Regions".
His study is in the bamboo building, which has three floors. The lower two floors are used for reading and receiving daily affairs, and the top floor is used for living.There is a large platform outside the study room on the second floor. Usually when the sun reaches the west, that place is shaded.Lian Deng likes to sit on the edge when his mind is heavy, with his feet dangling in the air, so that he can gradually calm down.
Chenhe is very friendly to her, unlike ordinary maids, he is willing to get close to her, treating her like an old friend.One day, he got a new pancake made by the cook, sat in the air like her, and shared one with her.
"I used to sit side by side with her like this, eating cakes and chatting about interesting things that happened in the market outside." He smiled, his clear eyes narrowed slightly, and saw the distance being distorted and rippling by the sun. She said sadly, "But my mother doesn't allow me to be with her, because of the disparity in status, I'm a heir who was registered as soon as I landed. Sometimes I wonder, if I'm just an ordinary person, can I protect her all the time? until she is married."
Lian Deng tilted her neck to look at him, "Your Highness and her childhood sweetheart?"
He raised his lips, revealing his pointed and somewhat playful canine teeth, "It's a level higher than my childhood sweetheart, she is my younger sister."
Lian Deng was very surprised, only knew that King Ding had six sons, but never heard of a princess.Then the younger sister he was talking about was kicked out of the palace along with those children?She was a little strange, what kind of father could watch his own flesh and blood wander outside, isn't the daughter a human being?Whether the princess is right or wrong, let her be turned upside down in the palace?
But slander belongs to slander, and it is not good to judge who is right and who is wrong.It is rude to scold her father to her son, she just keeps her tail between her legs, doing everything just to wait for the opportunity to get close to King Ding.But I feel that the princess is very pitiful, with golden branches and jade leaves, but he can't support him in the palace.
She took a bite of the mustache, which contained mutton, and the mutton was so fatty that it almost dripped onto her skirt.She hurriedly wiped her chin with her hand, then turned her head and smiled at him innocently, "How old was your highness when you separated from the princess?"
He lowered his head and thought for a while, "I was seven years old, and she was only five years old."
She said, "Ten years have passed, and His Highness is too young to protect her, so don't blame yourself, I don't think she will blame you."
He showed a bitter smile, "I also know that what I said back then had no weight, and no one would listen to me even if I stopped it. It's just that I felt guilty for not fighting for brother and sister at the time."
"Then did His Highness ever look for her later?"
He shook his head, "I can't tolerate me looking for her anymore. She went to Dunhuang with her mother. It's more than ten days away from here. I have no excuse to leave home for such a long time. Then I heard that she died... died in the age of cardamom .”
When he said that he was sad, tears welled up in his eyelashes, afraid that she would see him, so he quickly turned his head away.Lian Deng didn't ask any more questions, not wanting to stir up his sadness.Looking into the distance with a mustache in his mouth, Suiye City gradually cools down in the setting sun.When she saw the vast cemetery south of Huguo Temple, she raised her finger and asked intentionally, "It's so bare there, where is it?"
Chen He followed her line of sight and said casually, "It's the tomb of the city lord Hui Hui, where a whole family is buried. The cave was opened half a month ago and a very precious volume of scriptures was lost."
She blinked, "Is someone robbing a tomb just for scriptures? What scriptures?"
The corner of his mouth sank, "According to the literature records, it should be the Sutra of Crossing the Dead. Back then, Padmasambhava traveled to Huihui and bestowed sutras on the king of Huihui. The sutras can recruit millions of soldiers and bring people back to life. At that time The city lord has made great achievements, and in order to reward him, the returning monarch engraved a part of the "Crossing the Dead Sutra" on the iron coupon of the alchemy book and rewarded him. After the city lord passed away, the iron coupon of the alchemy book was buried with the lord."
The lotus lamp has only now figured out that the iron block has this effect.It sounds unbelievable to recruit Yin soldiers and bring the dead back to life.She was a little guilty, and laughed ramblingly, "If you can really bring the dead back to life, why did the returning castellan die by himself?"
Chen He smiled and said: "It's just a legend, but I think the right thing needs the right person to use it. For example, Tai Ah Yidang followed Qin Shihuang, and if someone else changed, it might not be as good as a hatchet."
Lian Deng answered a few words in vain, but felt uneasy in his heart. The loss of the iron voucher of the Dan book may have attracted the attention of King Ding, so why didn't the national teacher kill King Ding first and then go to get the "Sutra of Crossing the Dead"? Have his own considerations!
Maybe it was because of the strong wind, Chenhe had been blowing on the bamboo building for too long, and he became hot at night, with heart palpitations accompanied by coughing, and his illness was so violent that it was frightening.Zhan Shi of Xingyuan rushed to report to King Ding, and even the princess was alarmed. The couple came from two places, and they were not very angry when they met each other.
Mrs. Li had nowhere to vent, she looked left and right and saw the lotus lamp, as if she was a plague god, she slapped her face loudly, and reprimanded sharply: "I said earlier that I would kick you out, the prince misses your pity, now How about it, your life will be in your hands! You are like a worthless person, what will you give to pay for the life of your son?" He beat and scolded and refused to give up.
Lian Deng had no choice but to pretend to be cowardly, covering her face and weeping mournfully: "The son is fine during the day... It's because the maidservant didn't take good care of her, and the maidservant is guilty."
"Guilty? I don't understand if I cut you alive, I just hate it!" Wang Hao bit her teeth into her flesh, and when she tried to make a move, King Ding slammed her arm.
"My son is still alive. Whose life do you want her to pay for? There is a mother like you in this world, who is looking forward to her son's death! People in their forties don't know what to say, and they are so old for nothing!" Ding Wang pressed He scolded, and pushed the concubine violently. If it wasn't for Fu Mu's support, she would have been pushed to the ground.
The princess covered her face and wailed, "My son, tell me what to do..."
King Ding just frowned, ignored her, sat on Chenhe's bedside, and took Fengyu's cold towel to apply to his forehead.Calling him softly, "Chen'er, it's Aye, how do you feel?"
Chen He opened his eyes with difficulty, looked at his father, then at Lian Deng, "A-Ning..."
Lian Deng hurriedly stepped forward, squatted in front of his couch and said, "Your Highness, the maidservant is here. You are recovering from illness, maidservant is fine, it doesn't hurt at all."
Her words were very instructive. Sure enough, King Ding looked back at Wangfei, and the thunderous anger could not be suppressed. Bringing up children, why is your majestic princess not as good as a concubine?" Fu said decisively, "Go back to your cool wind palace, and you are not allowed to come out if there is no important matter. I'm afraid you will get better sooner without you here. .”
It seems that the grievances between King Ding and his concubine are very deep, and Lian Deng heard it in his ears, guessing that it must be full of all kinds of dissatisfaction for a long time.
The princess was reprimanded and went away. King Ding got up and glanced at the lotus lamp, and then said to the servants: "I heard what the medical officer said earlier? Your Highness is so short, please keep your eyes open and pay attention to his condition." .My king Xuanren will talk at night, and I will be in Huide Hall tonight. If there is something that I am not sure about, I will send someone to report it immediately."
Lian Deng hurriedly pulled up her sleeves and bowed down solemnly, and agreed with everyone.
A person who has never had a dream to dream, suddenly had a long dream, and every bit of it was in his heart.
No one is born a hero, just as there was no founding emperor who did not experience a brutal struggle.How he got to where he is today, no one knows except himself.
The dream started a long time ago, so long that it can't be counted... A child who was separated from his family ran in a hurry in the crowd of the market, but Ye Niang was nowhere to be seen.He is afraid of being alone and doesn't know what to do.Everyone turned a blind eye to him and walked past him as if he was an abandoned cat or dog. It was so ordinary that no one was willing to stop for him.He watched the crowd burst into tears, and began to think about what he should do if he couldn't find his way home. At this moment, a man in dark clothes came to him. The man was tall, well-dressed, and wearing the mask of a fat-faced doll. .He looked up blankly, the mask was removed, and behind him was a very beautiful face.
"Did you get separated from Auntie?" He bent down and smiled kindly at him. "I met your Aunt earlier. She has something urgent to do and asked me to take care of you. Come back with me and wait for Auntie." I'll pick you up when I'm done."
He believed his words and followed him to that glorious home.He treats him well and keeps giving him presents, from treats to toys to ponies.He couldn't remember living in this palace for a few days, looking forward to Ye Niang coming to pick him up every day, but his hopes were shattered at sunset every day, and later he told him regretfully, "I'm afraid your mother won't want you anymore."
After hearing this, he cried loudly and made a lot of noise, begging him to take him home.He looked very embarrassed, "Your mother has already moved out of Chang'an, if you don't believe me, I will take you back to have a look."
He was on his back, and he walked very fast, almost like running through the wind and clouds.Soon he arrived at the courtyard where he lived with his parents. He saw only desolate vegetation and a half-open door. He rushed in, but the building was already empty.
His little heart was about to break, he didn't understand why Ye Niang didn't want him, he was always obedient and never did anything wrong.He cried and asked, he tucked his hands and said: "There are many things in the world without a reason, you don't need to explore, you just need to know the result."
Abandoned once, the fear expanded even more than before.He tightly grabbed the corner of his clothes and did not let go. He looked down at him and said helplessly, "I'm going back, what should you do?"
He asked Ai Ai, "Can I be with you? I am still young, and I can't live alone."
He showed a slight smile, "You can go back with me, but you must worship me as your teacher and listen to me. Can you do it?"
He had no choice, nodded and said, "I can."
He knelt down and touched his face, "It's so good, when you grow up slowly, you will become another me."
He didn't understand the meaning of his words and just looked at him blankly.The master took him by the cold hand, and he obediently followed him back to the shrine. The master never had a temperature, and it was not until three years before he was about to die that he began to warm up slowly.
It is not easy to become another him.The master set his bones. The three-year-old child's bones were soft and had not yet been set. He kneaded his face, even if the gesture was very light, it still caused him unbearable pain.He inherited the mantle of his master, imitating his tone of voice and daily small movements, and getting closer to him.When he was 13 years old, the master stopped letting him see outsiders, and locked him in the nine-storied pagoda for six years.
He stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself, the prototype of the national teacher.Later, I stood side by side with Master, and I couldn't tell who was who.He knew that he would one day replace him, and he began to understand that the illusion of being abandoned by his parents was deliberately created by his master, because he was the only child in the world with pure yang blood.
He often feels resentment in his heart, but who is he resenting?Is it the parents who were forced to separate from him, or the master who poured all his heart and soul into him?There are many things missing in his life, family affection, friendship, love and freedom, which are also caused by his own reasons.A person with pure yang blood will never grow old. If he walks in the world, he will only be a monster in the end.
Master was over a hundred years old when he passed away, and he was still young and in full bloom.Before he died, he told him, "You can walk out of this tower, and you will be Linyuan from today on."
The word Linyuan is not so much a name as an official position, and he has the responsibility to pass it on.Like a wild horse that has been freed from its shackles, he has lived unscrupulously for decades, and gradually realizes that it is time to find a successor like a master, but he does not want to kidnap children.Thinking of how the master who was like a banished fairy spit out lotus flowers to coax him at that time, he felt that the image of the master collapsed.He is a person who strives for perfection, and he doesn't want to be dug out and whipped to the ground in the future.So there is another way, find the "Sutra of Crossing the Dead", or bring yourself back from the dead, or let the master come back to life.
In order to obtain the "Sutra of Crossing the Dead", pure yin blood is needed. At this moment, the right person appeared, and that person was the lotus lamp.
Thinking of her, there are countless strange conflicts in parallel, and her face floats in front of his eyes, sometimes sly and sometimes dull.Suddenly crying and shouting "The old demon lied to me", he was so frightened that he jumped out of his dream immediately.After taking a few breaths, there is still a bright moon bamboo building not far away. The lights in the bamboo building are flickering, and Prince Ding is sick and confused on the couch.
There probably won't be any progress tonight. He is too old to stay up late, and he will have dark circles under his eyes.He jumped off the branch, waved his hand to Xia Guan after landing, ordered him to keep staring, and went back to Xingyuan by himself.
Xia Guan looked up at the sky, it was almost Yin time, and the lotus lamp was guarding in front of the bed of Prince Ding's son to take care of him, which could be regarded as doing his best.
In fact, this is not right, as the old saying goes, if the father pays his debts, if King Ding killed her family, it would be all right to use Chenhe to mourn, but for some reason, she didn't want him to die.Her hatred is very clear, one for another, Chen He's character is not bad, it seems good to let him take over Suiye City alive.
She wiped his sweat for him, and when she heard him muttering for Aning, she felt a little confused.She was just a maid, so she wouldn't make him obsessed.I turned my ears to listen carefully, and gradually became a little dazed. It seemed to be Aning, and it seemed to be An Ning, making people confused.
Fortunately, he was dead, drank the medicine and sweated profusely, and woke up at dusk.Lian Deng was very happy and busy serving him water and feeding him rice porridge.He gained strength, leaned on the lead pillow and smiled embarrassingly: "Last night, you were frightened, go back to the king to report that you are safe, it doesn't matter to me, you all go away!"
Everyone in the house went back to rest. When Lian Deng was about to leave, he stopped her, pointed to the heavy seat and said, "Sleep here, so I can see you."
Lian Deng stared blankly at him, and he smiled, "I dreamed of her last night, she was still the same as when we were young. I feel at ease when you are here, as if she is still alive."
The son should have been very lonely when he was young, so he cherishes this brother-sister relationship very much.Lian Deng sometimes thinks, how good it is to have such an elder brother, but unfortunately without this blessing, Baili has no children under his knees, only one daughter.
She hugged her skirt and sat cross-legged on the heavy mat, tilting her head to look at him, "Is Your Highness feeling better now?"
He said it was much better, "It's just a little dizzy, it doesn't matter, just rest for half a day and it will be fine."
"Do you have chronic illness? Why did you suddenly become ill?"
Chen He hummed, "Brought in the mother's womb, I get sick every two months. It's been like this since I was a child."
"Then be careful. You can't sit in the wind in the future. If you catch the cold, you will suffer." She lay down and closed her eyes.
He called her softly again, "A-Ning, am I talking in my sleep?"
She closed her eyes and said, "I told you, Your Highness keeps calling Aning."
Chenhe blushed, "It's not Aning, I dreamed about my sister, her name is An Ning."
Lian Deng was about to fall asleep in a daze, when he heard his words, he couldn't help opening his eyes, "The princess's name is An Ning?" She was puzzled, with a silly smile on her face, "It's very similar to my name."
It was because of these many images that he felt pity in his heart.He raised his hand to cover his eyes, "I'm sorry for her... I'm sorry in many ways, and the sin is serious."
Is it a serious sin if you don't speak up to stop it?Seems a bit self-blaming.The sick man was in deep thought, but she didn't take it to heart.
After the eldest son got better, Ding Wang was busy with government affairs and did not come again, Lian Deng was a little disappointed.But if he didn't come, Chenhe planned to look for him, the fourth day of August was the death day of the princess, he wanted to hold a ceremony to save his sister, and then move his sister's bones to Suiye City.
King Ding had something important in his mind, and he didn't want to worry about it at all, so a fierce quarrel broke out between father and son.Lian Deng listened quietly outside, Chen He accused him of not fulfilling his father's responsibility, Ding Wang was so angry that his voice trembled, and he said loudly: "I thought you knew the inside story, so you have been resenting me all these years. Why should I Do you have to be responsible? Why should I admit to a child with a bad background? You are full of brotherhood and can be entrusted to your brother. Why do you never forget her? This incident made me lose face. I have been wanting to forget it for so many years , why do you keep reminding me? Let Aye be in the abyss, is this how you are a son of man?"
Chenhe choked up a little, "Aye, what a wise person, why is he so confused about his own family affairs? You are not even willing to drop your blood to admit your relatives, how can you be sure that she is not your daughter? Amei is smart and cute, you said that she is very similar to you. Naifu, don’t these words count?”
There was a crash in the hall, as if the pen holder had been swept to the ground.Lian Deng was startled, and when he was about to go in, he saw Chen He coming out of it, with red eyes, without saying a word, he flicked his sleeves and went to the other side of the corridor.
She hurriedly chased after her, panting and called His Highness, "If you have something to say, why get angry!"
After all, Chenhe is a young boy with his temper and self-willedness. After returning home, he smashed everything in the room, and then stood among the wreckage, his face livid with anger.
Everyone didn't dare to persuade them, so they wandered outside.Lian Deng leaned over the window to look around, he described being lonely, she didn't know how to explain him, she just said: "Your Highness is arguing with the king about this matter, it's not worth it." He caught a glimpse of her big pitiful eyes, the haze in her heart It gradually dissipated.
But what is not worth it?He talked to her about the past, and it was completely a bizarre farce.
An Ning's mother, Mrs. Tang, is a well-known beauty in the Duhu Mansion. Unfortunately, the beauty has many disadvantages. She was a slave in a family in Liangzhou since she was a child.Later, the family fell into decline and was taken in as a concubine by a school lieutenant.People like concubines have never enjoyed human rights and are often given freely as property.When the school captain arrived at King Ding's tent, he sent Mrs. Tang into the palace to please his boss.Lady Tang is smart and beautiful, and she is very popular with the king, but she will fall heavily when climbing a high place. She is young and vigorous, and she is unforgiving in everything, so she offended the princess and all the concubines.Lady Tang gave birth to a daughter in the second year after entering the mansion, and King Ding cherished it very much, but gradually rumors began to spread, saying that the princess was not the blood of King Ding, but the daughter of Lady Tang's adultery with the old master.Some people even submitted their letters, saying with certainty that this matter should be confirmed.
Naturally, King Ding didn't believe it. He didn't think that Lady Tang would miss her old man after following him.So the princess took the initiative to arrest the school lieutenant, tortured the school lieutenant a few times and confessed, and then there was a matter of dismissing the servants and concubines in the palace.
Lian Deng was dazed when he heard that, "Why did your majesty believe it? If it were me, I wouldn't believe it."
Chenhe said: "Sometimes the deeper the love, the deeper the hatred. If you are not emotionally involved, you will not feel hurt."
She sighed, "Then the Princess is living outside with her mother? Why did she die? Was there an accident?"
Chen He fell silent, pressed his hands together on the bridge of his nose, feeling very uncomfortable to speak.After a long pause, she said, "It's my mother... Mrs. Tang has lived alone with An Ning for eight years. For the helpless mother and daughter, I don't know how they survived. They moved to Dunhuang four years ago. The princess learned that Afterwards, they sent people to kill her, and An Ning and her mother... died."
Lian Deng's heart trembled, it was obviously someone else's business, but she actually had the illusion of empathy.She covered her mouth and sobbed, and said unyieldingly: "The princess is too much, how much their mother and daughter should hate before they die!"
Chenhe smiled bitterly, "They will hate, but I, Aye, are the ones who hate. The news of the death of Mrs. Tang's mother and daughter spread to Suiye City. The king knew that it was the princess who did it, and took the people she sent. As a result, they claimed It was ordered by the king, and he told their mother and daughter the same way when he sent them on the road." He clenched his fists so hard that his fingers turned white, "I know I can't blame my parents, but my mother is such a cruel person. I couldn't face her for a while."
Lian Deng asked: "What did your majesty say? Didn't you explain this matter?"
Chen He lowered his eyes and said: "Miss Tang's grievances have not been washed away, and in the end she still bears a bad name. Even if she is executed, no one will come to uphold justice. Even if the king is angry, it is a done deal and nothing can be done with the princess. This matter will be left alone."
Therefore, people like Li Shi are not only hateful, but also worthy of killing.She made a plan, after the result of King Ding, Li Shi must not let it go.Why do vicious people live so well?With a little effort, she avenged the poor mother and daughter of Mrs. Tang.
She turned her head to look at Chenhe, the palace is as deep as the sea, it is probably as rare as auspicious to have someone like him.He had been sad for this girl who didn't know if he was related by blood for so long, and when he mentioned her, he insisted that she was his younger sister. In his heart, An Ning was the same as him, and he was the flesh and blood of King Ding.It's a pity that the father doesn't admit it, and it's useless for him to fight for it.
Lian Deng tentatively said: "Your Highness wants to relocate the princess, just send someone there. Bring them to Suiye City for worship."
He said: "I want An Ning to enter the family temple and be worthy of honor. This is the only thing I can do for her."
Lian Deng felt a bit difficult, "After all, everyone is dead, and it is impossible to determine who is her biological father. Your Highness should not be too persistent. Bring them back. Lady Tang must really want to return to Suiye City."
He thought about it, and finally nodded, "It was just buried carelessly at the beginning, I'm afraid it will take some effort to find it." After speaking, facing the sunset and sighing, "An Ning has passed away for more than three years. If she is still alive, she should be sixteen this year. People's age..."
If there were older brothers and fathers, then a peaceful life would be a completely different life.It's a pity that she was born in the palace, and her mother's status is not high, so she has no ability to protect herself.Compared with her, although she narrowly escaped death, she at least once had a healthy family and was the only daughter of Ye Niang.
Other people's family affairs, of course, just casually listened to it, she still had no distractions, trying her best to find an opportunity to get close to King Ding.Fortunately, the father-son relationship between Chenhe and King Ding has withstood the test, and King Ding did not leave him alone because of his contradictory, and would call him every time he had a talk, and listened to his views on farming and animal husbandry, often with a smile on his face. smiling proudly.
However, there are too many guards around him, he doesn't enter the backyard, no ladies need to avoid suspicion, and the guards around him are always around.It seemed that he only relaxed his guard when he came to Shizi Xingyuan. He was always unguarded against his son.Lian Deng discussed with Tan Nu, "If you prepare too much, you will never have a chance. I plan to try my luck. If I seize the opportunity one day, I will make a move in time. You should find a way to get out of the palace in the next few days. Since I have already If you come in, you have sent the Buddha to the west, you can't keep guarding that shrew."
This is a difficult problem. In fact, the biggest obstacle is that Tan Nu cannot enter Shiziyuan. If she advances and retreats together, she will have a helper.
Tan Nu insisted not to leave, "Once I leave, they will definitely pay attention to you, and you will have no chance. I still work in the Liangfeng Temple, and you just take care of yours. If there is news of the assassination, I will kill Mrs. Li first." .”
The lotus lamp couldn't dismiss her, knowing that this friend was delivered by his life, so he didn't say any more.If you are lucky enough to escape together, it is best. If you are unlucky, and the two of you go to the underworld together, you should have a companion on the way to Huangquan.
Lian Deng made up his mind and hid the dagger next to his body, just waiting for King Ding to visit Chenhe.Sometimes people's premonition is very effective, she feels that the opportunity is not far away, maybe today, maybe tomorrow.I missed the national teacher a little before I started, I don't know what he is doing now.The man was elusive, and I haven't seen him since that night.She is a young girl, and she is in the hottest time of love. After seeing her for a while, it is inevitable to wonder if he really likes her.There is also the "love is stronger than gold", I don't know if it is real or fake.
Hugs are addictive, and she looks to him for comfort before completing a near-death mission.It's a pity that the person she likes is arrogant and selfish, he will never know what she wants.
She took a deep breath, forget it, let's meet again by fate!Hope that drug has a restraining effect on him, that after her death he is still alone, keeping his promise for a long life.If he fell in love with another woman halfway, she might climb up to talk to him.
The next day King Ding really came, he brought a jar of wine, and asked where the prince was when he entered the door.
Lian Deng pointed back, "His Royal Highness is planting red medicine by the pool, and he will be back soon." While saying that, he took the wine jar from King Ding's hand. Today he came alone, and he hit her heart.She raised her smiling face, "Your Majesty wants to have a drink with His Highness?"
King Ding is not a kind person, but he has a good impression of her, and he is willing to say a few words to her, "This is medicinal wine brought by an eminent monk from Tupan. Drinking it often can strengthen your body. Watch the time, every day One cup each in the morning and evening, serve His Highness to drink."
The lotus lamp responded by placing the wine jar on the long case.Turning around, King Ding turned his back to her and was looking at a newly painted landscape painting on the wall.She touched the dagger in her bosom, and suddenly heard King Ding ask her, "Your name is Aning?"
She was slightly startled, "Yes, the maid's name is Aning."
"Have you been to Liangzhou?"
She didn't know why he asked this, she had been there before, but both times were ways, without stopping.
"The servant girl has been staying with Ye Niang in Dunhuang, and has never been to Liangzhou." She was perfunctory, paying attention to the movements around her.Very well, there was no one inside or outside the bamboo building, and the nearest guard was five or six feet away, so it would take time to save them.She approached slowly, "Does Your Majesty have an old acquaintance in Liangzhou?"
King Ding didn't speak for a long time, he seemed to be reminiscing about something, maybe he suddenly thought of Mrs. Tang, and the child whose origin was unknown!After all, love is no match for rumors, and such a hero also has difficulties in judging.He said in a daze, "It's an old acquaintance, but it's a pity that we got lost after four years together. Later, we traveled farther and farther, and now we only live in memory."
It seems that there will be no turning back. The painting on the wall is the Golden Pagoda Qingxia, one of the eight scenic spots in Liangzhou. Thousands of clues come up", probably this scene reminded him of the past.
Lian Deng held the handle of the dagger, tried to keep her voice steady and said, "Why didn't Your Majesty go to find her?" But she had no time to think about his answer, so she drew out the dagger and stabbed him in the back.
(End of this chapter)
According to literature records, "Crossing the Dead" can bring people back to life.
The weather outside the customs is very strange, the sky is clear one moment, and there may be thunder and lightning the next moment.Sometimes in the same city, the south of the city is almost submerged, but the north of the city is dry for thousands of miles.
The weather is bad, and it is rare to be free. Lian Deng has nothing to do, so I stand in front of the window and look outside.The orchids in the flower beds were beaten up and down, raindrops the size of sparrow eggs fell indiscriminately, and the good vegetation was destroyed.
Cultivate the soil when the weather is fine. You don’t need to clean up the sand just after it rains. You can follow the gardener to walk around. Maybe you can reach King Ding’s study.She stood on tiptoe and looked into the distance. The rain curtain was dense, the outside was gray, and the air was filled with the smell of mud and dust.Thinking of last night, the national teacher took the risk to deliver the medicine, and now remembering that there is still a faint joy.
He said he was always around, but he didn't know where.He didn't mention the predicament he was facing, but she knew that King Ding had an army of [-], and there were many dead soldiers. He didn't bring many people, so it would take a lot of effort to infiltrate.It's strange that he can plan in many ways, but he never kills. If he can show his horse easily, ten kings might not be enough to kill!This person is just so hypocritical, but that's okay, she wants to avenge her father's murder by herself.After King Ding is settled, if he can return to Chang'an alive, then kill the fish that slipped through the net.
It's a pity that she can't remember her Aye's appearance at all, and A Niang, she can't remember it completely.She just clung to a belief and killed her enemy to prevent Ye Niang's blood from being shed in vain.
Ah Bao was cleaning the table next to her, called her, and said with a smile: "I'm so preoccupied, what are you thinking about? You won't think about His Highness Chen He anymore, right?"
She said dully, "Why do you think about those irrelevant things?"
A Bao said: "His Royal Highness Chen He is not married yet, if he returns to the Central Plains to be an official in the future, it would be nice to stay away from Suiye City."
She smiled, I'm afraid they are planning to return to the Central Plains, not to be officials, but to be emperors!
Suddenly she heard someone calling her, she hurried to the door to see, there was an impatient Fu Mu standing on the porch, tucking his hands together and said: "Little lady, follow me to Liangfeng Palace, Your Highness is calling."
She was a little confused, "Mum, do you know why Your Highness passed me on?"
Fu Mu glanced at her, "How do I know His Highness's thoughts? Don't ask me, you will know when you go."
Lian Deng bowed and followed her to the room. The rain splashed down the corridor and wet the corners of her skirt.She walked along the wall and met His Highness Chen He when she came to a door with hanging flowers. She raised her eyes and smiled, and saluted him.
His Highness Chen He was a very kind person, he bowed his hands back and turned around to ask Fu Mu where he was going.Fu Mu crossed his hands and said: "The princess has something to call Miss Song, and this slave will lead the little lady to the Cool Wind Hall." He smiled and said, "Have you finished reading your highness today? Don't move around, go back quickly." , Pay attention to the teacher's instructions."
Even though Lian Deng saw that the old slave was smiling, there was contempt in his tone.What kind of master will teach what kind of servant, the servants in Liangfeng Palace don't respect the prince very much!
She quickly took pleasure in him, and hurried to catch up with Fu Mu.After entering the Hall of Cool Breeze, I saw the princess wearing a spring green collar and apricot-yellow single-silk silk painting, leaning on a table to look at the embroidery of a skirt.
She and Tan Nu exchanged glances, Tan Nu hadn't slept all night, his eyes were bloodshot, but he still stood upright.She stepped forward to pay homage, then stepped aside and waited for orders.
The concubine did not speak for a long time, she took the silk and looked at it again and again, admiring the beautiful women's embroidering skills.After a while, I turned my eyes to her, "Have you ever learned embroidery?"
Lian Deng said no, "My servant is from a poor family, and I have no chance to see silk, let alone learn embroidery. I can only do a little sewing, and it is difficult to be elegant."
The concubine glanced at her with her chin on her shoulders, "Your talk sounds like someone who has been studying for two days. Can poor people also read?"
Lian Deng felt a little nervous, and wondered if there was something wrong for her to see.Thinking about it, she probably didn't, since she entered the palace, she paid special attention to it, no matter how powerful Mrs. Li is, she is not a fairy after all.Then he lowered his hand and said, "Returning to Your Highness, I, Aye, used to be a juzi, but I moved to Dunhuang after failing to go to high school many times. The servant girl has been studying with Aye since she was a child, and she knows a few words."
The princess was thoughtful, "I think you are very similar to an old friend... Where is your mother from? What is her name?"
Tan Nu turned his eyes, wondering what Princess Ding's intention was.Lian Deng said: "My maidservant's mother is also from Guanzhong. Her maiden name is Cui Wuniang. I, Aye, call her A Cui."
The concubine turned her eyes to the colorful painting on the beam, sighed slowly, and said to herself: "A Cui...it should be called A Tang." Fu smiled at her, "Since he can mend, he must know how to thread needles. I want to embroider a Buddhist scripture, and you will thread the needle for me."
Lian Deng was a little surprised, it was rumored that she came here just to get the needle inserted, but it was really unclear what the princess was paying attention to.
The servant girl came over with a tray, she took a look, and it was exactly as she expected.Where is it so easy for her to pass the test, it must be that the needle eye is extremely thin and the embroidery thread is extremely thick.This kind of gold wire is twisted with multiple strands, and it doesn't work if you just drill it through a point, but if you pull the wire, it will be strangled.So the concubine started to make things difficult for her again, but this time it was not a martial fight, but a literary fight.
After all, a good beating is unavoidable, she thought while she was wearing it, it would be really bad if it went on like this, if there is no revenge, and being squeezed all day long, even the best patience will be worn out.If you want to have an attack, you can't, you can only grit your teeth and struggle with needle and thread.
She tried many times, and the scissors trimmed and trimmed the end of the thread, but she couldn't get it through.This kind of thing is not like practicing martial arts, it consumes energy.She tried her best, but still made no progress.
Princess Ding didn't give her much time, she looked at her with a smile, and asked someone to bring the hourglass, "If you haven't done it after the sand has flowed, then I will punish you."
There was thunder outside, and the windows in the hall were closed tightly, there was no wind, and the light was dark enough.Lian Deng has sharp eyes and can see the eye of a needle clearly, but the thread is too thick, just like wearing big shoes for small feet and being able to get by, but for big feet wearing small shoes, it is difficult to pull out the heel.
It is useless to intercede, if Princess Ding is merciful, she will not be given such a difficult problem.She bit her lip, sweat dripping from the tip of her nose.Seeing that the hourglass was about to run out, the princess fiddled with Kodan's dyed fingertips, smiling happily.
"It's here." She clapped her hands when the last grain of sand flowed out, "You can't even do such a small thing, and it's useless to stay in the palace. Tan Nu..." She turned her head and called, "You brought me a She came in to have something to eat. Since she entered the mansion as a slave, no matter whether it is a private servant or an official servant, she will be at my disposal. I found a family with you, and Cai Shiba, who is in charge of the warehouse, asked for rewards several times , There has been no suitable candidate, I think you are strong and healthy, you can't wear a needle, and it shouldn't be difficult to wield a hoe. You go and marry him, don't stay in the mansion any longer, I don't like you. "
It's good not to like to put it bluntly, but it sounds a little ridiculous to marry her.Lian Deng bowed her hands, "Your Highness, please forgive me. The servant girl is filial. Even if she wants to marry, she will have to wait two years. It is not filial to marry someone now."
The concubine was furious, "How do you get into the palace with filial piety? Who will you offend?" She raised her voice and called someone, "Send this lowly maidservant to the slave market, no matter who it is, we'll talk about it after selling it."
Several house slaves clenched their fists and rolled up their sleeves and wanted to fight, this was unexpected by Lian Deng and Tan Nu.Tan Nu intends to intercede, if there is no change, at worst, he will fight to the death.Just as he was about to open his mouth, someone at the door called to stop, and when he turned his head, it was His Royal Highness.
The slaves retreated immediately, Chenhe bowed to the concubine, "What is it that makes the empress angry, tell me, let me vent my anger for the empress."
The concubine's face softened a little. After all, he was his son. Even if he didn't wait to see him again, the name of the son was here.In the future, when the king dies of old age, she will still obey her son, although she doesn't think Chenhe can live longer than Aye.
She pointed to the lotus lamp, "She can't even thread a needle well. The palace doesn't support idlers, so they ordered someone to sell her. It's quiet if you don't see it."
Lian Deng saw the right moment and cried to the prince, "I don't want to be betrayed, please help your servant."
Chenhe gave her a stable look, and smiled at the princess: "Son, I saw her sweeping the floor in the garden yesterday, why did you come to be a female celebrity next to the empress today? She is a rough person, like a villager and a wild old man. Knowing poetry and painting is the same. People who handle brooms don’t know how to thread needles and threads, so they will naturally dislike the empress. If the empress is unhappy with her, let her go to the nursery. I happen to be a handmaid who does rough work, so I ask the empress to reward her Give me."
The concubine glanced sideways, "You are still young, so you are in a hurry to find someone right now?"
Chenhe was not anxious, he said calmly: "My son is just short of a handyman, my mother misunderstood."
The concubine was obviously very upset, but she couldn't openly refuse, telling people that even a servant would not reward her son, which further confirmed her charge of contemptuous of the son.After thinking about it, it was just a slight resemblance. The damned person is already dead, so there is no need to be so grieved, so he nodded reluctantly, "Since you want it, take it back and discipline it. The mang maid who came up from Mo , If you don’t take care of yourself, you won’t be an adult. But I have a word with you first, you are not in good health, Fengyu said that you can’t marry a daughter before you have a weak crown, you have to take it to heart, don’t waste your life in vain.”
Chenhe blushed immediately, Nuonuo said yes.Lian Deng gave Tan Nu a wink, asking her to be safe and calm, and followed the prince out of the Cool Wind Palace.
Unexpectedly, unintentionally inserting a willow will bring her one step closer to King Ding. This is a thankful leap.The prince often has contacts with King Ding, and he is much more favored than that tricky princess.As long as she hugged Shizi's thigh tightly, she would not worry about not seeing Prince Ding.
She chased after her and thanked her, "Thanks to Your Highness today, otherwise I would have been sold! Your Highness has shown a kindness to Aning, please stay and receive Aning's respect."
He reached out and put his hand on her elbow, "I knew something would happen when you entered the Cool Wind Palace, so I waited on the veranda and came to rescue you when I got the news. You don't have to thank me, I just want to make up for the past It's a pity that I was able to save a very close person, but because I didn't make a sound because of cowardice, I ended up killing her... You look a bit like her, I can't bear to see you being trafficked. Go back to Shiziyuan with me, you don't go out, The concubine will not come to provoke you either. I have nothing important to do there, I usually tidy up the books, and just serve the study room for me when I practice calligraphy."
She was stunned for a moment, this Mr. Jia was like a clear stream in the troubled world, he might be the only kind person in the Ding Palace.But knowing people, knowing face but not knowing heart, maybe he doubted her and Tan Nu, and just followed the trend.
She stammered: "The maidservant is rough with hands and feet..."
He turned his head and smiled, "I said that to you just now, don't take it to heart. I can see that you are different from those servants. I heard you say that you have read books before, good person, don't be sleepy." In a bunch of rough work, I wasted my previous knowledge. Although handling paper and ink is trivial, it is better than being light and elegant, and it is not an insult to you."
Lian Deng nodded hurriedly, "My maidservant can't wait for it. Your Highness is really my nobleman. No wonder the magician said that I have a lucky star this year. It turns out that the lucky star is His Highness."
Chenhe's brows and eyes are peaceful, when he looks at her, there is no thought of him in his eyes.Turning my head to look at the sky, the rain gradually stopped, the sky was washed, and it was so blue that it almost dripped down.A ray of light shone on the blue brick in front of him, he stopped and murmured: "It's sunny."
Lian Deng used his heart, and was curious about the people he said could be saved but could not be saved, "Your Highness said that I look like a person, who is that person?"
He fell silent, and said after a while: "It was the person I valued most when I was young. We are two years apart, and you are about the same age as her."
"Then where is she now?" She asked cheekily, "Why didn't His Highness save her? Did she make any mistakes?"
He stood still, seemed to be lost in memory, and shook his head very slowly, "She didn't do anything wrong, it's just that she didn't reincarnate into a good family. Now... maybe in a place with green mountains and green waters, living a life without troubles Bar!"
Lian Deng didn't find out any inside story, and he didn't understand what he said, so he followed him back to Xingyuan, where there are birds singing and flowers fragrant, and bamboo buildings and clear springs.
Chenhe is just like his name, it's amazing that he doesn't compete with the world.They had just entered the hall when Zhan Shilai, his subordinate, came back to report some things that had shaken his position as the eldest son.After hearing this, he just smiled, "Don't care about him, this position is for the capable. The capable also work hard. I'm so lazy, it doesn't matter to be a peaceful idler."
Lian Deng looked at him suspiciously, not striving for fame and fortune, this kind of mind is more open-minded than the national teacher.Then serving pen and ink by his side further confirmed this point. He practiced calligraphy and painting, and he could spend half a day casually.King Ding valued him very much, when he was not going, he would occasionally send someone to bring some fruit, and from time to time send someone to ask about his homework.He is very talented in learning, as if all the shortcomings in his body have been accumulated and stored in his brain. King Ding loves this elegant and knowledgeable son very much.
In the days of Shizi Xingyuan, time became very quiet and soothing.When she had nothing to do, she looked through his notes, and he recorded the customs and customs of the Western Regions sporadically, and said that he would write a book "The Classics of the Western Regions".
His study is in the bamboo building, which has three floors. The lower two floors are used for reading and receiving daily affairs, and the top floor is used for living.There is a large platform outside the study room on the second floor. Usually when the sun reaches the west, that place is shaded.Lian Deng likes to sit on the edge when his mind is heavy, with his feet dangling in the air, so that he can gradually calm down.
Chenhe is very friendly to her, unlike ordinary maids, he is willing to get close to her, treating her like an old friend.One day, he got a new pancake made by the cook, sat in the air like her, and shared one with her.
"I used to sit side by side with her like this, eating cakes and chatting about interesting things that happened in the market outside." He smiled, his clear eyes narrowed slightly, and saw the distance being distorted and rippling by the sun. She said sadly, "But my mother doesn't allow me to be with her, because of the disparity in status, I'm a heir who was registered as soon as I landed. Sometimes I wonder, if I'm just an ordinary person, can I protect her all the time? until she is married."
Lian Deng tilted her neck to look at him, "Your Highness and her childhood sweetheart?"
He raised his lips, revealing his pointed and somewhat playful canine teeth, "It's a level higher than my childhood sweetheart, she is my younger sister."
Lian Deng was very surprised, only knew that King Ding had six sons, but never heard of a princess.Then the younger sister he was talking about was kicked out of the palace along with those children?She was a little strange, what kind of father could watch his own flesh and blood wander outside, isn't the daughter a human being?Whether the princess is right or wrong, let her be turned upside down in the palace?
But slander belongs to slander, and it is not good to judge who is right and who is wrong.It is rude to scold her father to her son, she just keeps her tail between her legs, doing everything just to wait for the opportunity to get close to King Ding.But I feel that the princess is very pitiful, with golden branches and jade leaves, but he can't support him in the palace.
She took a bite of the mustache, which contained mutton, and the mutton was so fatty that it almost dripped onto her skirt.She hurriedly wiped her chin with her hand, then turned her head and smiled at him innocently, "How old was your highness when you separated from the princess?"
He lowered his head and thought for a while, "I was seven years old, and she was only five years old."
She said, "Ten years have passed, and His Highness is too young to protect her, so don't blame yourself, I don't think she will blame you."
He showed a bitter smile, "I also know that what I said back then had no weight, and no one would listen to me even if I stopped it. It's just that I felt guilty for not fighting for brother and sister at the time."
"Then did His Highness ever look for her later?"
He shook his head, "I can't tolerate me looking for her anymore. She went to Dunhuang with her mother. It's more than ten days away from here. I have no excuse to leave home for such a long time. Then I heard that she died... died in the age of cardamom .”
When he said that he was sad, tears welled up in his eyelashes, afraid that she would see him, so he quickly turned his head away.Lian Deng didn't ask any more questions, not wanting to stir up his sadness.Looking into the distance with a mustache in his mouth, Suiye City gradually cools down in the setting sun.When she saw the vast cemetery south of Huguo Temple, she raised her finger and asked intentionally, "It's so bare there, where is it?"
Chen He followed her line of sight and said casually, "It's the tomb of the city lord Hui Hui, where a whole family is buried. The cave was opened half a month ago and a very precious volume of scriptures was lost."
She blinked, "Is someone robbing a tomb just for scriptures? What scriptures?"
The corner of his mouth sank, "According to the literature records, it should be the Sutra of Crossing the Dead. Back then, Padmasambhava traveled to Huihui and bestowed sutras on the king of Huihui. The sutras can recruit millions of soldiers and bring people back to life. At that time The city lord has made great achievements, and in order to reward him, the returning monarch engraved a part of the "Crossing the Dead Sutra" on the iron coupon of the alchemy book and rewarded him. After the city lord passed away, the iron coupon of the alchemy book was buried with the lord."
The lotus lamp has only now figured out that the iron block has this effect.It sounds unbelievable to recruit Yin soldiers and bring the dead back to life.She was a little guilty, and laughed ramblingly, "If you can really bring the dead back to life, why did the returning castellan die by himself?"
Chen He smiled and said: "It's just a legend, but I think the right thing needs the right person to use it. For example, Tai Ah Yidang followed Qin Shihuang, and if someone else changed, it might not be as good as a hatchet."
Lian Deng answered a few words in vain, but felt uneasy in his heart. The loss of the iron voucher of the Dan book may have attracted the attention of King Ding, so why didn't the national teacher kill King Ding first and then go to get the "Sutra of Crossing the Dead"? Have his own considerations!
Maybe it was because of the strong wind, Chenhe had been blowing on the bamboo building for too long, and he became hot at night, with heart palpitations accompanied by coughing, and his illness was so violent that it was frightening.Zhan Shi of Xingyuan rushed to report to King Ding, and even the princess was alarmed. The couple came from two places, and they were not very angry when they met each other.
Mrs. Li had nowhere to vent, she looked left and right and saw the lotus lamp, as if she was a plague god, she slapped her face loudly, and reprimanded sharply: "I said earlier that I would kick you out, the prince misses your pity, now How about it, your life will be in your hands! You are like a worthless person, what will you give to pay for the life of your son?" He beat and scolded and refused to give up.
Lian Deng had no choice but to pretend to be cowardly, covering her face and weeping mournfully: "The son is fine during the day... It's because the maidservant didn't take good care of her, and the maidservant is guilty."
"Guilty? I don't understand if I cut you alive, I just hate it!" Wang Hao bit her teeth into her flesh, and when she tried to make a move, King Ding slammed her arm.
"My son is still alive. Whose life do you want her to pay for? There is a mother like you in this world, who is looking forward to her son's death! People in their forties don't know what to say, and they are so old for nothing!" Ding Wang pressed He scolded, and pushed the concubine violently. If it wasn't for Fu Mu's support, she would have been pushed to the ground.
The princess covered her face and wailed, "My son, tell me what to do..."
King Ding just frowned, ignored her, sat on Chenhe's bedside, and took Fengyu's cold towel to apply to his forehead.Calling him softly, "Chen'er, it's Aye, how do you feel?"
Chen He opened his eyes with difficulty, looked at his father, then at Lian Deng, "A-Ning..."
Lian Deng hurriedly stepped forward, squatted in front of his couch and said, "Your Highness, the maidservant is here. You are recovering from illness, maidservant is fine, it doesn't hurt at all."
Her words were very instructive. Sure enough, King Ding looked back at Wangfei, and the thunderous anger could not be suppressed. Bringing up children, why is your majestic princess not as good as a concubine?" Fu said decisively, "Go back to your cool wind palace, and you are not allowed to come out if there is no important matter. I'm afraid you will get better sooner without you here. .”
It seems that the grievances between King Ding and his concubine are very deep, and Lian Deng heard it in his ears, guessing that it must be full of all kinds of dissatisfaction for a long time.
The princess was reprimanded and went away. King Ding got up and glanced at the lotus lamp, and then said to the servants: "I heard what the medical officer said earlier? Your Highness is so short, please keep your eyes open and pay attention to his condition." .My king Xuanren will talk at night, and I will be in Huide Hall tonight. If there is something that I am not sure about, I will send someone to report it immediately."
Lian Deng hurriedly pulled up her sleeves and bowed down solemnly, and agreed with everyone.
A person who has never had a dream to dream, suddenly had a long dream, and every bit of it was in his heart.
No one is born a hero, just as there was no founding emperor who did not experience a brutal struggle.How he got to where he is today, no one knows except himself.
The dream started a long time ago, so long that it can't be counted... A child who was separated from his family ran in a hurry in the crowd of the market, but Ye Niang was nowhere to be seen.He is afraid of being alone and doesn't know what to do.Everyone turned a blind eye to him and walked past him as if he was an abandoned cat or dog. It was so ordinary that no one was willing to stop for him.He watched the crowd burst into tears, and began to think about what he should do if he couldn't find his way home. At this moment, a man in dark clothes came to him. The man was tall, well-dressed, and wearing the mask of a fat-faced doll. .He looked up blankly, the mask was removed, and behind him was a very beautiful face.
"Did you get separated from Auntie?" He bent down and smiled kindly at him. "I met your Aunt earlier. She has something urgent to do and asked me to take care of you. Come back with me and wait for Auntie." I'll pick you up when I'm done."
He believed his words and followed him to that glorious home.He treats him well and keeps giving him presents, from treats to toys to ponies.He couldn't remember living in this palace for a few days, looking forward to Ye Niang coming to pick him up every day, but his hopes were shattered at sunset every day, and later he told him regretfully, "I'm afraid your mother won't want you anymore."
After hearing this, he cried loudly and made a lot of noise, begging him to take him home.He looked very embarrassed, "Your mother has already moved out of Chang'an, if you don't believe me, I will take you back to have a look."
He was on his back, and he walked very fast, almost like running through the wind and clouds.Soon he arrived at the courtyard where he lived with his parents. He saw only desolate vegetation and a half-open door. He rushed in, but the building was already empty.
His little heart was about to break, he didn't understand why Ye Niang didn't want him, he was always obedient and never did anything wrong.He cried and asked, he tucked his hands and said: "There are many things in the world without a reason, you don't need to explore, you just need to know the result."
Abandoned once, the fear expanded even more than before.He tightly grabbed the corner of his clothes and did not let go. He looked down at him and said helplessly, "I'm going back, what should you do?"
He asked Ai Ai, "Can I be with you? I am still young, and I can't live alone."
He showed a slight smile, "You can go back with me, but you must worship me as your teacher and listen to me. Can you do it?"
He had no choice, nodded and said, "I can."
He knelt down and touched his face, "It's so good, when you grow up slowly, you will become another me."
He didn't understand the meaning of his words and just looked at him blankly.The master took him by the cold hand, and he obediently followed him back to the shrine. The master never had a temperature, and it was not until three years before he was about to die that he began to warm up slowly.
It is not easy to become another him.The master set his bones. The three-year-old child's bones were soft and had not yet been set. He kneaded his face, even if the gesture was very light, it still caused him unbearable pain.He inherited the mantle of his master, imitating his tone of voice and daily small movements, and getting closer to him.When he was 13 years old, the master stopped letting him see outsiders, and locked him in the nine-storied pagoda for six years.
He stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself, the prototype of the national teacher.Later, I stood side by side with Master, and I couldn't tell who was who.He knew that he would one day replace him, and he began to understand that the illusion of being abandoned by his parents was deliberately created by his master, because he was the only child in the world with pure yang blood.
He often feels resentment in his heart, but who is he resenting?Is it the parents who were forced to separate from him, or the master who poured all his heart and soul into him?There are many things missing in his life, family affection, friendship, love and freedom, which are also caused by his own reasons.A person with pure yang blood will never grow old. If he walks in the world, he will only be a monster in the end.
Master was over a hundred years old when he passed away, and he was still young and in full bloom.Before he died, he told him, "You can walk out of this tower, and you will be Linyuan from today on."
The word Linyuan is not so much a name as an official position, and he has the responsibility to pass it on.Like a wild horse that has been freed from its shackles, he has lived unscrupulously for decades, and gradually realizes that it is time to find a successor like a master, but he does not want to kidnap children.Thinking of how the master who was like a banished fairy spit out lotus flowers to coax him at that time, he felt that the image of the master collapsed.He is a person who strives for perfection, and he doesn't want to be dug out and whipped to the ground in the future.So there is another way, find the "Sutra of Crossing the Dead", or bring yourself back from the dead, or let the master come back to life.
In order to obtain the "Sutra of Crossing the Dead", pure yin blood is needed. At this moment, the right person appeared, and that person was the lotus lamp.
Thinking of her, there are countless strange conflicts in parallel, and her face floats in front of his eyes, sometimes sly and sometimes dull.Suddenly crying and shouting "The old demon lied to me", he was so frightened that he jumped out of his dream immediately.After taking a few breaths, there is still a bright moon bamboo building not far away. The lights in the bamboo building are flickering, and Prince Ding is sick and confused on the couch.
There probably won't be any progress tonight. He is too old to stay up late, and he will have dark circles under his eyes.He jumped off the branch, waved his hand to Xia Guan after landing, ordered him to keep staring, and went back to Xingyuan by himself.
Xia Guan looked up at the sky, it was almost Yin time, and the lotus lamp was guarding in front of the bed of Prince Ding's son to take care of him, which could be regarded as doing his best.
In fact, this is not right, as the old saying goes, if the father pays his debts, if King Ding killed her family, it would be all right to use Chenhe to mourn, but for some reason, she didn't want him to die.Her hatred is very clear, one for another, Chen He's character is not bad, it seems good to let him take over Suiye City alive.
She wiped his sweat for him, and when she heard him muttering for Aning, she felt a little confused.She was just a maid, so she wouldn't make him obsessed.I turned my ears to listen carefully, and gradually became a little dazed. It seemed to be Aning, and it seemed to be An Ning, making people confused.
Fortunately, he was dead, drank the medicine and sweated profusely, and woke up at dusk.Lian Deng was very happy and busy serving him water and feeding him rice porridge.He gained strength, leaned on the lead pillow and smiled embarrassingly: "Last night, you were frightened, go back to the king to report that you are safe, it doesn't matter to me, you all go away!"
Everyone in the house went back to rest. When Lian Deng was about to leave, he stopped her, pointed to the heavy seat and said, "Sleep here, so I can see you."
Lian Deng stared blankly at him, and he smiled, "I dreamed of her last night, she was still the same as when we were young. I feel at ease when you are here, as if she is still alive."
The son should have been very lonely when he was young, so he cherishes this brother-sister relationship very much.Lian Deng sometimes thinks, how good it is to have such an elder brother, but unfortunately without this blessing, Baili has no children under his knees, only one daughter.
She hugged her skirt and sat cross-legged on the heavy mat, tilting her head to look at him, "Is Your Highness feeling better now?"
He said it was much better, "It's just a little dizzy, it doesn't matter, just rest for half a day and it will be fine."
"Do you have chronic illness? Why did you suddenly become ill?"
Chen He hummed, "Brought in the mother's womb, I get sick every two months. It's been like this since I was a child."
"Then be careful. You can't sit in the wind in the future. If you catch the cold, you will suffer." She lay down and closed her eyes.
He called her softly again, "A-Ning, am I talking in my sleep?"
She closed her eyes and said, "I told you, Your Highness keeps calling Aning."
Chenhe blushed, "It's not Aning, I dreamed about my sister, her name is An Ning."
Lian Deng was about to fall asleep in a daze, when he heard his words, he couldn't help opening his eyes, "The princess's name is An Ning?" She was puzzled, with a silly smile on her face, "It's very similar to my name."
It was because of these many images that he felt pity in his heart.He raised his hand to cover his eyes, "I'm sorry for her... I'm sorry in many ways, and the sin is serious."
Is it a serious sin if you don't speak up to stop it?Seems a bit self-blaming.The sick man was in deep thought, but she didn't take it to heart.
After the eldest son got better, Ding Wang was busy with government affairs and did not come again, Lian Deng was a little disappointed.But if he didn't come, Chenhe planned to look for him, the fourth day of August was the death day of the princess, he wanted to hold a ceremony to save his sister, and then move his sister's bones to Suiye City.
King Ding had something important in his mind, and he didn't want to worry about it at all, so a fierce quarrel broke out between father and son.Lian Deng listened quietly outside, Chen He accused him of not fulfilling his father's responsibility, Ding Wang was so angry that his voice trembled, and he said loudly: "I thought you knew the inside story, so you have been resenting me all these years. Why should I Do you have to be responsible? Why should I admit to a child with a bad background? You are full of brotherhood and can be entrusted to your brother. Why do you never forget her? This incident made me lose face. I have been wanting to forget it for so many years , why do you keep reminding me? Let Aye be in the abyss, is this how you are a son of man?"
Chenhe choked up a little, "Aye, what a wise person, why is he so confused about his own family affairs? You are not even willing to drop your blood to admit your relatives, how can you be sure that she is not your daughter? Amei is smart and cute, you said that she is very similar to you. Naifu, don’t these words count?”
There was a crash in the hall, as if the pen holder had been swept to the ground.Lian Deng was startled, and when he was about to go in, he saw Chen He coming out of it, with red eyes, without saying a word, he flicked his sleeves and went to the other side of the corridor.
She hurriedly chased after her, panting and called His Highness, "If you have something to say, why get angry!"
After all, Chenhe is a young boy with his temper and self-willedness. After returning home, he smashed everything in the room, and then stood among the wreckage, his face livid with anger.
Everyone didn't dare to persuade them, so they wandered outside.Lian Deng leaned over the window to look around, he described being lonely, she didn't know how to explain him, she just said: "Your Highness is arguing with the king about this matter, it's not worth it." He caught a glimpse of her big pitiful eyes, the haze in her heart It gradually dissipated.
But what is not worth it?He talked to her about the past, and it was completely a bizarre farce.
An Ning's mother, Mrs. Tang, is a well-known beauty in the Duhu Mansion. Unfortunately, the beauty has many disadvantages. She was a slave in a family in Liangzhou since she was a child.Later, the family fell into decline and was taken in as a concubine by a school lieutenant.People like concubines have never enjoyed human rights and are often given freely as property.When the school captain arrived at King Ding's tent, he sent Mrs. Tang into the palace to please his boss.Lady Tang is smart and beautiful, and she is very popular with the king, but she will fall heavily when climbing a high place. She is young and vigorous, and she is unforgiving in everything, so she offended the princess and all the concubines.Lady Tang gave birth to a daughter in the second year after entering the mansion, and King Ding cherished it very much, but gradually rumors began to spread, saying that the princess was not the blood of King Ding, but the daughter of Lady Tang's adultery with the old master.Some people even submitted their letters, saying with certainty that this matter should be confirmed.
Naturally, King Ding didn't believe it. He didn't think that Lady Tang would miss her old man after following him.So the princess took the initiative to arrest the school lieutenant, tortured the school lieutenant a few times and confessed, and then there was a matter of dismissing the servants and concubines in the palace.
Lian Deng was dazed when he heard that, "Why did your majesty believe it? If it were me, I wouldn't believe it."
Chenhe said: "Sometimes the deeper the love, the deeper the hatred. If you are not emotionally involved, you will not feel hurt."
She sighed, "Then the Princess is living outside with her mother? Why did she die? Was there an accident?"
Chen He fell silent, pressed his hands together on the bridge of his nose, feeling very uncomfortable to speak.After a long pause, she said, "It's my mother... Mrs. Tang has lived alone with An Ning for eight years. For the helpless mother and daughter, I don't know how they survived. They moved to Dunhuang four years ago. The princess learned that Afterwards, they sent people to kill her, and An Ning and her mother... died."
Lian Deng's heart trembled, it was obviously someone else's business, but she actually had the illusion of empathy.She covered her mouth and sobbed, and said unyieldingly: "The princess is too much, how much their mother and daughter should hate before they die!"
Chenhe smiled bitterly, "They will hate, but I, Aye, are the ones who hate. The news of the death of Mrs. Tang's mother and daughter spread to Suiye City. The king knew that it was the princess who did it, and took the people she sent. As a result, they claimed It was ordered by the king, and he told their mother and daughter the same way when he sent them on the road." He clenched his fists so hard that his fingers turned white, "I know I can't blame my parents, but my mother is such a cruel person. I couldn't face her for a while."
Lian Deng asked: "What did your majesty say? Didn't you explain this matter?"
Chen He lowered his eyes and said: "Miss Tang's grievances have not been washed away, and in the end she still bears a bad name. Even if she is executed, no one will come to uphold justice. Even if the king is angry, it is a done deal and nothing can be done with the princess. This matter will be left alone."
Therefore, people like Li Shi are not only hateful, but also worthy of killing.She made a plan, after the result of King Ding, Li Shi must not let it go.Why do vicious people live so well?With a little effort, she avenged the poor mother and daughter of Mrs. Tang.
She turned her head to look at Chenhe, the palace is as deep as the sea, it is probably as rare as auspicious to have someone like him.He had been sad for this girl who didn't know if he was related by blood for so long, and when he mentioned her, he insisted that she was his younger sister. In his heart, An Ning was the same as him, and he was the flesh and blood of King Ding.It's a pity that the father doesn't admit it, and it's useless for him to fight for it.
Lian Deng tentatively said: "Your Highness wants to relocate the princess, just send someone there. Bring them to Suiye City for worship."
He said: "I want An Ning to enter the family temple and be worthy of honor. This is the only thing I can do for her."
Lian Deng felt a bit difficult, "After all, everyone is dead, and it is impossible to determine who is her biological father. Your Highness should not be too persistent. Bring them back. Lady Tang must really want to return to Suiye City."
He thought about it, and finally nodded, "It was just buried carelessly at the beginning, I'm afraid it will take some effort to find it." After speaking, facing the sunset and sighing, "An Ning has passed away for more than three years. If she is still alive, she should be sixteen this year. People's age..."
If there were older brothers and fathers, then a peaceful life would be a completely different life.It's a pity that she was born in the palace, and her mother's status is not high, so she has no ability to protect herself.Compared with her, although she narrowly escaped death, she at least once had a healthy family and was the only daughter of Ye Niang.
Other people's family affairs, of course, just casually listened to it, she still had no distractions, trying her best to find an opportunity to get close to King Ding.Fortunately, the father-son relationship between Chenhe and King Ding has withstood the test, and King Ding did not leave him alone because of his contradictory, and would call him every time he had a talk, and listened to his views on farming and animal husbandry, often with a smile on his face. smiling proudly.
However, there are too many guards around him, he doesn't enter the backyard, no ladies need to avoid suspicion, and the guards around him are always around.It seemed that he only relaxed his guard when he came to Shizi Xingyuan. He was always unguarded against his son.Lian Deng discussed with Tan Nu, "If you prepare too much, you will never have a chance. I plan to try my luck. If I seize the opportunity one day, I will make a move in time. You should find a way to get out of the palace in the next few days. Since I have already If you come in, you have sent the Buddha to the west, you can't keep guarding that shrew."
This is a difficult problem. In fact, the biggest obstacle is that Tan Nu cannot enter Shiziyuan. If she advances and retreats together, she will have a helper.
Tan Nu insisted not to leave, "Once I leave, they will definitely pay attention to you, and you will have no chance. I still work in the Liangfeng Temple, and you just take care of yours. If there is news of the assassination, I will kill Mrs. Li first." .”
The lotus lamp couldn't dismiss her, knowing that this friend was delivered by his life, so he didn't say any more.If you are lucky enough to escape together, it is best. If you are unlucky, and the two of you go to the underworld together, you should have a companion on the way to Huangquan.
Lian Deng made up his mind and hid the dagger next to his body, just waiting for King Ding to visit Chenhe.Sometimes people's premonition is very effective, she feels that the opportunity is not far away, maybe today, maybe tomorrow.I missed the national teacher a little before I started, I don't know what he is doing now.The man was elusive, and I haven't seen him since that night.She is a young girl, and she is in the hottest time of love. After seeing her for a while, it is inevitable to wonder if he really likes her.There is also the "love is stronger than gold", I don't know if it is real or fake.
Hugs are addictive, and she looks to him for comfort before completing a near-death mission.It's a pity that the person she likes is arrogant and selfish, he will never know what she wants.
She took a deep breath, forget it, let's meet again by fate!Hope that drug has a restraining effect on him, that after her death he is still alone, keeping his promise for a long life.If he fell in love with another woman halfway, she might climb up to talk to him.
The next day King Ding really came, he brought a jar of wine, and asked where the prince was when he entered the door.
Lian Deng pointed back, "His Royal Highness is planting red medicine by the pool, and he will be back soon." While saying that, he took the wine jar from King Ding's hand. Today he came alone, and he hit her heart.She raised her smiling face, "Your Majesty wants to have a drink with His Highness?"
King Ding is not a kind person, but he has a good impression of her, and he is willing to say a few words to her, "This is medicinal wine brought by an eminent monk from Tupan. Drinking it often can strengthen your body. Watch the time, every day One cup each in the morning and evening, serve His Highness to drink."
The lotus lamp responded by placing the wine jar on the long case.Turning around, King Ding turned his back to her and was looking at a newly painted landscape painting on the wall.She touched the dagger in her bosom, and suddenly heard King Ding ask her, "Your name is Aning?"
She was slightly startled, "Yes, the maid's name is Aning."
"Have you been to Liangzhou?"
She didn't know why he asked this, she had been there before, but both times were ways, without stopping.
"The servant girl has been staying with Ye Niang in Dunhuang, and has never been to Liangzhou." She was perfunctory, paying attention to the movements around her.Very well, there was no one inside or outside the bamboo building, and the nearest guard was five or six feet away, so it would take time to save them.She approached slowly, "Does Your Majesty have an old acquaintance in Liangzhou?"
King Ding didn't speak for a long time, he seemed to be reminiscing about something, maybe he suddenly thought of Mrs. Tang, and the child whose origin was unknown!After all, love is no match for rumors, and such a hero also has difficulties in judging.He said in a daze, "It's an old acquaintance, but it's a pity that we got lost after four years together. Later, we traveled farther and farther, and now we only live in memory."
It seems that there will be no turning back. The painting on the wall is the Golden Pagoda Qingxia, one of the eight scenic spots in Liangzhou. Thousands of clues come up", probably this scene reminded him of the past.
Lian Deng held the handle of the dagger, tried to keep her voice steady and said, "Why didn't Your Majesty go to find her?" But she had no time to think about his answer, so she drew out the dagger and stabbed him in the back.
