Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

He raised his eyes and looked at me. The old, frosty eyes were slightly red: "We don't know, but who else would it be if it weren't for him?"

My eyebrows tightened.

Why the Emperor Gao killed that Taoist is very unusual now, but there may be many reasons, after all, anything can happen in the palace ——-maybe the Taoist served the Emperor Gao by mistake and was killed; or, He did not accomplish what High Emperor had expected to be killed; more likely, some unspeakable problems, such as men and women, were possible.

However, I think that the possibilities of small flowers are just killing him. It is not necessary to kill these Taoists, but Emperor Gao sent many people to hunt them down until they were rescued by his mother and hidden in Xichuan. , I dare not take the risk for so many years.

This, I think it will not be the result of a common mistake.

I looked at the abbot for a while and said, "Do you know, why did Emperor Gao do this? Why did Emperor Gao leave him in the palace?"

The abbot smiled bitterly, and a bit of tears flashed in his eyes: "If only I knew it."

"..."

"We just didn't know anything, so we ended up in such a tragic end."

"..."

"Miss, the emperor is here again now, what exactly does he want to do and how will he treat us, miss you--"

I know he must have been worried about this, since Pei Yuanzhang and I appeared here, so from the morning I found that few people in this Taoist temple appeared, and he blamed the little boy for walking outside. In two words, I was afraid that Pei Yuanzhang would find out that there was a little clue. By that time, it might be the disaster.

I said, "Is anyone here to assassinate you after your mother has settled you here?"

He shook his head: "No, we were very scared at the beginning, but we ca n’t sleep at night, but after two years, the place is calm. There are only those who come to mine and iron in the mountains. We are sure that it is safe. I have been hiding here for so many years. "

I said, "You should be relieved."

"Oh?"

"The Emperor Gao did not continue to send people to kill you, it should be to put the matter down; the Emperor Tai had also crashed at the beginning of the year. I think no matter what happened that year, those who remember the incident may not Many, maybe, only you. "

"..."

"As long as you don't talk nonsense, no one will know your origin, and no one will kill you."

He opened his eyes and looked at me: "Really? Then why did the emperor come here?"

I said, "He came here to find Charin Shibo. It has nothing to do with you. It was a surprise to him to see this Taoist temple appear here last night. As long as you constrain your gatekeeper, don't mention the events of the year. , Let's not even think about it, you are actually long gone. "

Reborn.

When I said these four words, I had a strange feeling. The abbot heard these words, and his eyes flickered slightly. After a while, he repeated gently: ... to be born again ... "

He said, looking up at me: "The old lady has the grace to rebuild us."

I smiled and said, "Then you miss her more, that's fine."

He said: "Our view is indeed dedicated to the elder lady's tablet, praying for her day and night."

"Oh? Is there her longevity tablet?"

"Yes."

"Where? I want to see it."

"In the deepest room in view, now—"

The abbot glanced at the sky coming in through the window, it was already dark, and no fingers could be reached. At this time, it was not good to go out and move, not to mention I just told him that I should restrain my doorkeeper as much as possible, and I should not have done so In the evening, let him go out to "wander".

I said immediately: "Okay, wait until the day."

He nodded: "The young lady wants to worship the old lady's longevity tablet, and she should first smoke incense and bathe. It's all the same."

It seems that they really valued the mother as a benefactor. After so many years, they were still so religious. I nodded in agreement, and then got up and left.

When I returned to my room with a lot of thought, it was almost time for me. Susu was sitting at the table waiting for me, and my head kept dropping down like a chicken pecking rice. I pushed her to wake her up and let her go to sleep first, but she refused to serve me before going to bed.

I brought hot water and finally managed to clean the side. When I lay in bed, I was exhausted.

But there seemed to be something in my mind, and it kept rushing against me.

I felt that I was getting closer and closer to something.

The drawing in the library ...

The giant, monster-like machine drawn on the drawing ...

The killed priest ...

And these priests who did not know, but were still chased by Gao Emperor ...

This one-by-one thing is like a wave after wave in my mind. On such a lonely night, I suddenly remembered some things in the past. Although the mother is the elder lady of the Yan family, there are countless slaves in the house, but sometimes she still cooks for me and my father, and the craft is quite good. Most of the pastries and sweets I make are from She learned there.

It's also fun to watch her do things.

She will pick the best sweet-scented osmanthus in the autumn of the first year, dry it when it is sunny, and then make osmanthus syrup; every year the new rice is sent, and she will choose white japonica rice to wash, dry and grind Make rice syrup and hang it in a cloth bag for one night. After getting dried rice noodles the next morning, she warms the syrup with a small fire, kneads the rice balls, and steams the rose petals in the drawer. Boil the juice and make up with the powdered sugar; at this time, the water has just bloomed and the rice cake is cooked. Put the rosy syrup on the rice cake, and then brush the warm osmanthus syrup on the rice cake. on.

Every time I eat, I have the most colorful and sweetest sugar cake.

In retrospect, she is very focused on things. Sometimes she seems to be doing a few things at the same time, and it looks disorganized. But in the end, I was surprised to find that she did different things at different times in order to be able to finally Do one thing.

These clues made me feel the same.

So in my mind, there is a bold conjecture-these seemingly disorganized things, in the final analysis, should be one thing, or in other words, a truth.

Unconsciously fell asleep. When waking up the next day, it was already bright outside.

I freshened up and walked to the door. The sun was shining on my face. The warm feeling made me stretch out.

After several days of rain and rain, everyone felt a kind of uncomfortable darkness. As soon as the sun came out and some of the dark emotions in my heart were dissipated, Susu took breakfast and came back, and saw me standing at the door with a look With a bright expression, she smiled and said, "Is the young lady in a good mood?"

"seems like it."

Although there are still many things left unsolved, the mystery left by my mother has not been solved yet, but I have a feeling that I am really close to the truth, very close.

But if I really want to walk into that truth, I hope to be with Qing Han.

But where, what is he doing now?

Liu Li brought my words to him. Will he come back to me?

Thinking about it this way, I felt a little heavy again. Susu carefully looked at my frown, and said, "Miss, come here for breakfast before talking about anything. It's important to be full."

I looked back at her simple meal on the table, smiled, and walked over to sit down and took two bites to remember. Today I told the abbot to go to see my mother ’s longevity tablet, the best It ’s now past, so I chopped a few bites of rice one after another. Susu looked at me like this: "Miss, don't hold your back."

"I'm fine."

After hurriedly eating a bowl of rice, I wiped my mouth and walked out.

After a while, he was outside the abbot's residence.

I still didn't see anyone along the way. Obviously, the abbot was very careful not to let other priests go out to avoid hitting Pei Yuanzhang and showing his feet. I also got used to the quietness of the past two days, but today is a little different. Before I walked in, I heard a sound of reprimand, and walked to the door to see that it was the little boy standing in front of him, scowling and scolding his head.

"I know how to play around at the daily price. I don't do anything, and I can't even see anything."

"Master, I know it's wrong."

"Now you know it's wrong. Why didn't you know it before you lost it?"

"Master, when those people came, everyone was hiding their lives. Who cares about what is in the view. Besides, there are some ground frost, yellow stone, and some people who mine in the mountains are, if not, then Just find it. "

"you--"

The long face was yellow with anger, and the white beard shook constantly, and his hand was about to be beaten, but when he raised his hand, he couldn't beat it. He couldn't get up and almost passed away. Frightened, he hurriedly helped him to sit on the futon, and continued to wipe his chest and his back, saying, "Master, master, you have to calm down."

After rubbing for a long time, the abbot took a sigh of relief, and resentfully said, "You can't wait to anger me, and you're relieved!"

"Master, dare not."

The boy said, hurried to run to his knees.

I stood at the door, and I was a little embarrassed. Originally I just wanted to find the long lead way and pay homage to my mother's longevity tablet. Whoever met him reprimanded his disciples. It seems that it should be the former Wushugong who came here. It disturbed the quiet of others, and also lost things.

Now, do I stay here and wait, or-

Hesitating in my heart, I heard that abbot bitterly said, "You are not too young, the master and your uncles are old. If you let go of this stinky skin and leave in the future, you will look forward to it, What should I do?"

"master……"

The little boy probably heard a lot of these words, frowning, and looked impatient, but couldn't help but listen to his knees in front of him. When I saw this posture, I probably had to think about it for a long time. Exit.

Wait for a while and come to him again.

Back in the room, Susu had just packed up the chopsticks, had just eaten too fast, and had a bit of a rash on my chest, so I went to pour a cup of tea myself and took a sip.

"Miss lady got up so early?"

"Why are you here?"

He came across and sat down, looked into my eyes, smiled and said, "Although the young lady slept late, she was in good spirit."

I know, he must already know that I went to the abbot last night and talked about it in the middle of the night. I didn't have to hide anything from him.

"The emperor told his father that he wanted to leave here today and go to Tiejia Village."

"Leave? He said?"

"Yes."

"So, what does Seber say? He still has injuries."

"Father agreed, his trauma has been a lot better, and Yao Lao is in Tiejia Village. If he can go out and show him to his father, it will be good for his injury.

It seems that Pei Yuanzhang has convinced Charin.

Although I knew that this matter must be acquiesced by Light Dust, and Pei Yuanzhang must be inevitable, but it really happened. It still made me feel a bit stubborn. I held the bowl and watched only two mouthfuls of porridge. Slowly put down the tableware.

Chabixing looked at me: "Did the lady still hesitate?"

"..."

I was silent for a while, then smiled lightly: "It's useless to hesitate."

"..."

"Also, going out is really good for Shibo's injury. When will we start?"

"Father meant to go as soon as possible if he had to leave, because the weather in the mountains was unclear, especially when the dam was about to flood recently, often the rain would fall."

"So ..."

After all, I grew up in Xichuan. I knew the weather here, and it was troublesome when it rained, and the mountain road was not very easy to go. If it really rained again, it would be a trouble to go out.

In fact, it was good that Pei Yuanzhang wanted to leave a little bit faster. Seeing that he appeared scared the priests here behind closed doors was really sinful, and a Taoist view turned into a ghost house. The more he stayed here, the more panic these people were, and the earlier they left, the more they set aside a "life path".

So I nodded and said, "I know, let's all start preparing."

Originally counting time, I could leave at noon. This way, it ’s still evening to go out, and I can catch up with dinner. I still have time to worship the mother ’s longevity tablet. Come in, something happened in Tiejia Village.
