Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

As Su Su said, it is indeed going to change.

The next day, the whole day was overcast, and the heavy dark cloud was like a dark hand covering the ground without a trace of wind, and the sense of depression that was almost breathless was oppressing people at any time. body of.

Pei Yuanxiu went out early in the morning and didn't return until late at night.

When he returned, I lay in bed for a long time.

It ’s just one thing to lie down, and whether to fall asleep is another thing. Since these days, it ’s common for me to keep my eyes open every night to see the sky getting brighter, so when he pushed in the door, I Immediately I felt the cool wind blowing in from the door, blowing up the account by the bed.

However, I was lying motionless on my side and didn't look back.

After Pei Yuanxiu walked in, Xiao Ni and Xi Xi hurried to serve. He washed his hands, changed his clothes, and asked me how much I ate today and when I slept. Xiao Ni answered them all. Then he waved his hand: "You all go down."

"Yes."

After Erji exited, he closed the door, and the account that had been blown away ceased to be quiet at this moment, but his shadow was reflected on the wall, and he slowly walked to the bed and propped up on the bed with one hand. Slowly leaned down. I felt his breath getting closer and closer, and it was almost close to my ears. The burning sensation made my hands hidden in the thin quilt clenched tightly.

Then, a kiss fell gently on my neck.

At this time, no matter how immobile, I slowly turned my head and looked at him with a narrow squint: "Yuan Xiu? Are you back?"

He looked at me with a smile: "I woke you up?"

I rubbed my eyes and didn't speak, I just asked, "When is it?"

"It's three more."

"It's so late! Then you go to bed quickly."

He propped his hands on the bed, leaned down and looked at me. I wonder if it was because of the swaying candles on the bed, his eyes were flashing, and I rubbed my eyes tiredly, then turned around, Gently said: "Sleep early and get up early tomorrow."

"..."

After a long silence, he said "um" softly.

Then, I felt that he was undressed and went to bed, and his body with a slight coolness was close to me, but soon, that cool breath became warm in the bed.

He said softly, "Green baby."

"……Ok?"

"You still have a strong nasal tone, are you cold?"

"……Ok."

"Last night, have you been outside for a long time?"

I didn't talk anymore, but rolled over again and closed my eyes and fell asleep.

The man close to me quietly looked at me for a long time. I could hear his long breath and warm breath blowing across my neck. After a long time, he sighed and stretched out his arms. Asleep with me.

By the morning of the third day, when it was past Chenchen, it was still dark, as if it was evening.

I combed my hair sitting in a chair, two pink ribbons dangled from her hair bun, and brushed her pink cheeks gently, looking very beautiful.

Although she can no longer run around like she used to, and go out to cause trouble, but I still match her with clothes she wears every day, comb her chic hair style, and make her look beautiful every day. It seemed as if I would get out of the chair at any time and jump into my arms.

I am waiting for that day.

After I combed it, I carefully treated her hair band, and then said to Susu: "My son and I are going to Yangzhou for a trip today. They may come back very late. Take good care of the good words."

Susu nodded quickly: "Yes, miss."

I also knew that she was doing everything right, so I didn't say anything else, just leaned down and kissed Miao Yan gently on the forehead, then said, "Miao Yan, mother and your father crossed the river today, go Send you uncle, you obediently at home. "

If it was in the past, mentioning going out and mentioning her third uncle, this girl will definitely jump up and carry her together, but now she is still sitting there quietly, and those black and white eyes are full of chaotic light, I I can't help but feel sour and my eyes are almost red. At this time, Pei Yuanxiu's voice sounded at the door and said, "Green baby, time is up."

"it is good."

I promised, looked back at Miaoyan again, stroked her soft long hair gently, then turned away.

As soon as I left the courtyard, I saw Pei Yuanxiu standing at the bridge, followed by a few servants. When I saw me coming out, I greeted me with a smile and said, "Is everything ready?"

"Ok."

"All right, let's go."

He didn't say much. He took my hand and walked out of the courtyard. I didn't twist anything. He just held him so calmly until he reached the gate and saw a line of carriages outside, and I saw clearly Then, on one of the carriages, the faces of Han Ruoshi and Han Zitong were exposed in the slightly opened curtain.

I snapped: "You guys--"

As soon as Han Ruoshi saw me, a smile filled her face: "Sister Qingying, get in the car."

I turned to look at Pei Yuanxiu, and he said, "Yesterday, Zitong knew about this and said that when he was on the island, Lord Liu also took care of her, and now he is going to send Lord Liu for a ride. Fellowship in adversity. "

"……Is it."

"Miss Ruoshi said that since Master Liu once took care of Zi Tong, she, as an elder sister, also wanted to go and send him a ride."

"..."

I raised my head and glanced at the two almost identical faces after the curtain, but they had completely different expressions and emotions. They were silent and said nothing. When the carriage came to us, Pei Yuanxiufu Following me, the two got on the carriage together.

When we arrived at the pier and crossed the river, the sky was still gloomy, and even the entire river surface became chaotic. Looking back at the night, I watched the floating lights of Yijiang on the red boat. The gorgeous beauty is still unforgettable. But the happy event congratulated by such a scene has become a funeral; the newcomer that night, now one soul returns to Jiuquan, and the other is about to be cut today.

How ironic this is, how impermanent it is.

I sat on the boat and looked at the gray river. Today, there seem to be more and more ships, especially those from Jinling to Yangzhou. They are all small boats, ranging from three or five people. They are young and strong young men.

I immediately felt that something was wrong, and when I turned around, I saw Pei Yuanxiu sitting there quietly, watching the scenery on the river, and naturally, I saw these too.

Suddenly, I understand.

After all, they are going to Yangzhou, which is considered an enemy camp. Although Pei Yuanzhang today may not have the energy to come back to deal with them, he still has to send a lot of guards for thoroughness.

We were not on a big boat, and after a long journey, we finally came to shore, but unexpectedly found that the fish market near the pier was also deserted today. Not only did no one come to the market to buy things, even the stalls were not many. Few neglected.

I glanced at them, and then followed Pei Yuanxiu to get on the carriage. The carriage was just slowly moving on the road just now. It was constantly shaken by the uneven bluestone cobble. After getting on the road, the speed was fast. After a while, I felt West City.

This is also the place where the execution of Yangzhou Mansion took place.

Before I got out of the car, I heard the extraordinarily loud noise outside. Compared with the people coming and going in the usual day, the extraordinary Yangzhou bazaar, the crowds here have reached a level of surprise today. I subconsciously lifted the curtain. Looking out of the corner, I was shocked.

It ’s not just people coming and going, it ’s just a crowd of people, and it ’s like a crowd of people. It ’s as if all the people in Yangzhou City have come here. When you look around, you can only see a dark head moving and sweating like rain. There is no room for so many people in small shops as they do on weekdays, and the pole-shaded accounts on the street corners are crowded and dropped in many places.

So amazing scene.

I gazed at the crowded street in front of me. At this moment, several people ran across our carriage. I saw a few older grandmothers talking about something as they walked forward.

"Is it true? I really want to cut Master Liu today?"

"What's wrong? The emperor list has been issued."

"Master Liu is a good person, a good official, but he cannot be killed."

"Kill him, this Yangzhou, this Jiangnan, who cares!"

"Yeah, let's go and go!"

...

Seeing them go away, and watching this scene, I could not say a word, Han Zitong, they saw me in amazement, and hurriedly looked over to look outside, watching the crowded scenes of the people, all wrinkled brow.

Just then, the driver in front of the driver said, "My son, Madam, two ladies."

"what happened?"

"The carriage cannot pass."

"what?"

"Too many people, the road is all blocked."

Upon hearing this, Pei Yuanxiu hadn't spoken yet, Han Zitong Chunliu frowned, and said, "The road is blocked, won't you open the road?"

After saying this, the driver outside was also stinging, but he didn't dare to say anything, but he waved his whip again, and heard the whip tip making loud and even harsh whip flowers in the air, crackling, and he waved The whip shouted, "Get out of here, get out of here!"

Suddenly, the people outside started arguing.

"What are you doing?"

"Give Way!"

"Everyone here is running out. How can I make way for you?"

"That is, I have the ability to come down and walk by myself!"

"you guys--!"

Seeing the excitement of the common people outside, at this time, the driver was beaten down by several rounds of whiplashes, one by one, even spreading his anger to him, and the carriage was even more difficult.

I thought about it and said, "It's not difficult to see a carriage like this, it's not difficult for us to get out. Let's get out of the car and go there. There is only this little way."

Hearing what I said, Pei Yuanxiu nodded, "Let's do it."

Although Han Ruoshi was still a little displeased, but when she saw me speaking, and Pei Yuanxiu agreed, it was not good to say anything. She could only get out of the carriage with grievances. Her sister immediately came up to help her. Walked forward.

Although the crowd was crowded and overwhelmed, the people sent by Pei Yuanxiu still played a great role. These people were among the people and silently opened the way for us. After a while, we went to the central square of the western city, on the huge square. .

Here, the execution of the wooden platform has been erected. Behind the wooden platform is the place where the prison officer ordered the order. It is a tall stone platform with red silk satin hanging on both sides. On the stone platform, there were five or six table cases placed side by side, and there were several officials in charge.

Two rows of warriors, holding a knife in one hand and akimbo in one hand, stood mighty on both sides.

This is where the executions will take place.

When I saw this place, my breathing was tense, especially when it was so crowded. Although Pei Yuanxiu sent people around us to block those people, a wave of heat hit me, and I felt steamed and dizzy. .

I looked up, looked around, and wanted to see who else was around.

And Xiao Yusheng them, where are they?

However, it seems that the crowd is filled with strange faces, filled with regret, anger, and anxiety, but there is no trace of Xiao Yusheng. I ca n’t help but a cold sweat, but I also know that he Brothers have always disappeared without a trace. If I really saw them in the crowd, I would feel strange and even worry about things changing.

Now they should be hiding somewhere, waiting for the time to come.

Thinking of this, I comforted myself a little and sighed with relief.

Just then, I saw a somewhat familiar restaurant across the street.

The restaurant is three stories high, and the first and second floors are all closed with windows. Only the wide window on the third floor is not closed, but a fine bamboo curtain hangs from the window, blocking everything inside, only faintly. Seeing someone sitting on the seat beside the bed, it seemed that he was drinking with a cup in his hand.

It's February Red.

I didn't recognize it at first glance, because I usually went directly to the front door of the February Red, but now I see the north side of the restaurant. Of course, I feel a bit strange, and the seat with the bamboo curtain hanging down, if I Nothing wrong, it should be the place where I went to the restaurant in the past, drinking and watching the scenery.

And last time, when I went to February Red--

Just thinking about it, I suddenly felt a tingling in the chest.

Pei Yuanxiu lowered his head and looked at me: "What's wrong?"

I quickly shook my head: "It's all right."

After speaking, Wu Yanqiu looked up at the supervising officer on the high stage ahead.

Liu Qinghan was originally the chief official of Yangzhou Government, but now he is beheaded. The supervisor and beheaded officer probably only had the emperor to appoint him. Naturally, this man is Wu.

I glanced at him again, and at that moment there was a loud noise beside me.
