Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 119 Open the window

Chen Wenxin woke up from her lethargy, only to see Hongliu and Liulan guarding her cabin.

She was taken aback for a moment, and then she suddenly remembered something, her eyes filled with tears.

Her eyes are huge and beautiful.

The pupils are pitch black, in stark contrast to the purity of the whites of the eyes, making them very beautiful.

At this moment, those eyes were empty, and tears silently fell from their sockets.

She is like a delicate snow doll. All the children who made snowmen have gone home, leaving her alone in the lonely wilderness.

As soon as the sun rises tomorrow, she will melt away.

Liu Lan couldn't bear it and turned her head away fiercely.

It seems that she really has friendship with Kangxi, not just for the vanity of power and position.

She doesn't appear to be panicked at the loss of her use value.It was the despair of being abandoned by the man he loved.

He had seen this expression before, on his own sister Liu Hong's body many years ago.

He looked at Liu Hong, who bit her lip and walked to Chen Wenxin's bedside.

"Did you hear it all?"

She looked at Red Willow, flinched for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Her voice was barely audible: "The emperor is gone, I am worthless. Will you kill me?"

Sure enough, she heard it all.

If she had just been hijacked, she wouldn't have dared to say this.

It can be seen that she is desperate now, and she has long since lost her life.

Liu Lan sees that she is slender and weak, if she loses her thoughts about life, she may never get better from this illness.

He hurriedly said: "We won't kill you, if we want to kill you, we can do it now, why bother to boil medicine for you?"

There was a gleam in Chen Wenxin's eyes, Hongliu gave her the medicine, and she seemed to smell the medicine suspiciously.

"It smells like ginseng."

A weak smile appeared on her face, as if smelling ginseng, she was really assured that they would not kill her.

She is in their hands at the moment, just kill her with one blow.

Even if poison was used to kill her, who would put ginseng in the poison, so violent?

Seeing that she finally showed some joy, they can also feel relieved.

After Chen Wenxin drank the medicine, Liu Lan stood up and said, "You should rest first, and if you need anything, just call out the door."

It was rare for him to speak so softly, Chen Wenxin coughed twice while clutching his chest, and said, "Brother Liu..."

His heart trembled.

He held her hostage, doesn't she hate him?

Don't you hate her for causing her to lose her honor, glory and wealth, and even her own husband?

She called him that, which made him both happy and ashamed.

"I'm weak because of factors, and I often get wind and cold. The doctor once said that people with wind and cold should open the windows to breathe..."

She glanced at the wooden window, "Can you open that window? Even a little bit."

Liu Lan nodded, "The second child is a barefoot doctor, and he doesn't understand these things. I've wronged the girl."

Chen Wenxin nodded, "Thank you."

When the two of them left, Chen Wenxin showed a wry smile.

She knew that it was impossible for the emperor to really leave.

So her fainting was faking. From eavesdropping on their conversation, she knew that the second master was a barefoot doctor, so she couldn't tell that she was faking it at all.

Sadness and despair are all her disguises.

Even if the emperor had no intention of caring for her, Chen Wenyi would never give up on her.

She is her own brother, and she has a tacit understanding with her. She will never believe that even Chen Wenyi will give up on her.

The only possibility is that the emperor's continued southern tour is just a smoke screen, in fact, it is to make Liu Lan and the others take it lightly and expose their flaws.

She felt guilty for deceiving Liu Lan's brothers and sisters.

Taking advantage of other people's kindness towards her is what she despises the most in the past, and she also disdains it.

Now she realizes how naive she is.

When life is in danger, is there anything a person cannot do?
Liu Lan and the others held her hostage first, and she lied to them in order to protect herself.

This is really not what she wants...

Liu Lan walked out of the room, and took one last look at Chen Wenxin's expression.

She was thoughtful, and even though she had received a guarantee that she would not kill her, she still looked a little sad and frightened.

For a 15-year-old girl, it was the first time she discovered that the people closest to her would abandon her so easily.

This is so cruel.

Liu Lan walked to the cabin where she lived temporarily, his cabin was originally the one where Chen Wenxin lived.

In order to accommodate Chen Wenxin, he moved to live with the second master himself.

He said softly: "Second brother, you have studied so much medical skills anyway, you need to open the window to breathe in the wind-cold disease, is there such a thing?"

The second master slapped his head, "Oh, yes, yes, I forgot! You let Miss Chen stay in the cabin like that, no wonder her illness has been bad!"

Liu Lan felt relieved, pressed him down and said, "You're still so frizzy, don't worry, I've sent someone to remove the lock on the outside of that window. But..."

The second master said, "But what?"

Liu Lan smiled faintly, "However, that window will be like her door."

The door of Chen Wenxin's room was not locked, but someone was watching it all the time.

The second master couldn't help being cold, he thought that Liu Lan treated Chen Wenxin sincerely.

It turned out that he still did not forget to test her and monitor her.

What kind of strength does such a weak woman have to play tricks?
What's more, Kangxi is gone.

He couldn't help sighing: "Brother Liu, I think you are like this, so you can't marry a wife at the age of 30."

Even the girl he likes has to be tested in every possible way, how could there be a girl who likes him?

In all fairness, Liu Lan is the queen of generals, good at martial arts and resourceful.

Although he was not as handsome as Chen Wenxin's elder brother, he still had good features and was full of heroism.

Such a man shouldn't be single...

Liu Lan gave him a blank look.

"If you keep talking nonsense, you will be fined to look at the window!"

"I don't!"

The second master jumped onto the bed, "Tell Li San to go."

Liu Lan didn't quarrel with him any more, he had already arranged for someone to remove the lock for Chen Wenxin, and he watched the window secretly.

It should be impossible for Chen Wen to escape by jumping out of the window.

The boat is in the water, Chen Wenxin doesn't know water, getting into the water is just a dead end.

If there is any foreign object thrown out of it, it must be fished out and given to him immediately.

Even if a fly flies out of it, it must be strictly checked.

He narrowed his cold eyes slightly, hoping that Chen Wenxin would not make any moves.

He really pityed her situation, and also liked her innocent beauty and strong temperament.

But he will not be lost by a woman and forget what he really should do.

If Chen Wenxin didn't change, he would take her back to Nanming.Even if it can't give her glory and wealth, at least it can give her a lifetime of stability.

If she really wanted to send some news to the Manchu court, then he...

A cold look flashed in his eyes, and quickly disappeared into the dim lights of the night.

Chen Wenxin lay quietly on the bed, and heard a slight sound outside the wooden window.

Thinking about it, it was Liu Lan who listened to her and removed the lock on the wooden window for her.

After the noise stopped, Chen Wenxin slipped on his shoes, put on a plain cloak, and walked to the window.

The river wind blows into the room through the wooden window, and the air suddenly becomes fresh, making people feel comfortable.

She looked at the quiet and dark river, only the faint sparks on the distant mountains.

That is probably the sesame oil candle in the temple, right?
She suddenly thought of an ancient poem that was very suitable for the occasion, cleared her throat, and felt that her nasal voice was still very heavy.

This does not affect her poetic interest, anyway, no one else heard it.

She read softly: "The moon is setting and the crows are singing...the sky is full of frost, Jiang Feng fishing fire is facing Mianmian. Gusu... Hanshan Temple outside the city, the midnight bell to the passenger ship..."

Because of her hoarse voice, she paused several times while reading.

The nasal voice made her originally clear and beautiful voice look very childish, and the poems she recited were so plain that it sounded like a child learning poetry.

Simple and innocent.

Liu Lan, who was hiding in the dark and observing, smiled unconsciously, and the man beside him looked dumbfounded.

"Brother Liu, why are you smiling like this all of a sudden?"

The man asked in a low voice, he didn't know if it was the wind from the river or what, a layer of goose bumps appeared on his arms.

Brother Liu, your smile is too weird...

He usually has a bitter and vengeful face, but today he smiled in the middle of the night, how creepy.

Liu Lan didn't notice that he was laughing at all, he quickly restrained his expression, and said seriously: "It's nothing, just keep watching."

He glanced at the position of the small wooden window for the last time, and walked back to the cabin softly.

After Chen Wenxin finished reading the poem, he enjoyed the night scene on the river again.Then she closed the window gently, leaving only a small gap for ventilation.

Finally she lay down on the bed, she seemed to feel a little cold, so she covered most of her face with the quilt.

Under the quilt, she looked clear, with a chill in her eyes.
-
She would never think that no one really heard the poem she just recited.

That's just to make the spy watchers lose their guard against her.

She lies in bed every day to recuperate, Liu Lan or Hongliu, she has to think about their every move thousands of times.

Every word and expression of her own, she has to deliberate countless times before she dares to do it.

Will Liu Lan easily lose her guard against her?
A citizen of Nanming who was lurking deep in Yangzhou, if he could trust others so credulously, he would have died long ago without a place to bury him.

It is true that he has a good impression of himself, and it is true that he will not completely trust him.

So she deliberately asked to open the window to give Liu Lan a chance to test her.

As expected, Liu Lan decisively agreed.

He just wanted to use this window to test whether Chen Wenxin would want to escape, or even betray their traces.

How could she be so stupid, knowing that there were so many of them on board, how could she think that just throwing something out would be picked up by the emperor's people?
And the chances of being seen by them are very high...

Since Liu Lan wanted to test it out, she showed him a harmless performance.

I have to think about every step of the way here every day, which is completely inconsistent with Chen Wenxin's temperament.

She had never felt so mentally drained.

Even when facing those concubines who were fighting each other in the harem, she never thought much of it.

With the emperor's protection, she was happy to be a fool.

I don't know when the emperor and Chen Wenyi will find her?

She needs to get enough sleep before they can save her.

Chen Wenxin closed her eyes, and gradually fell asleep amidst heavy thoughts...
