Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

After crossing the river to the ferry, it was almost noon.

Yangzhou is still crowded with people, and it's a busy time. Now it's time to go ashore. The ferry has arranged a carriage to pick us up. I have barely touched the ground these days, but I can't help it. Only Pei Yuanxiu could hold me up.

But this time, I stayed strong, sitting by the window and looking out through the dangling curtains.

Knowing that Yangzhou is already in the sphere of influence of Pei Yuanxiu, the mood here is different. Speaking of which, Yangzhou did not let Yangzhou show a rebellious attitude. This trick is indeed high-minded. Pei Yuanzhang is different from Yangzhou originally. At this time, it is not easy to fight. More difficult.

What is the future situation really difficult to guess.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help looking back at Pei Yuanxiu, he was still sitting calmly, his face had the same kind of gentle smile, the corners of his eyes were curved, the whole person was like the warmest piece of warm jade. Can't help but want to get close to him.

Who would have thought that the vast rivers across the Yangtze River, and the six provinces in the south of the Yangtze River that opposed the court belonged to his Majesty?

Thinking of this makes my mood even more chaotic.

Just when he looked up at me, I could only pretend I didn't see it, and turned to look at Ping'er. The child didn't say a word along the way, and was extremely silent. Of course, I also understand how hard this incident has hit him, and the closer he is to home now, the paler and more silent his face becomes.

I was afraid he would be crushed, so I said gently, "Pinger. If you are sad, tell Aunt Qing."

He looked up at me with a dull look, silent for a while, and said, "Aunt Qing, I'm afraid my mother is sad."

"..."

"I dare not tell her. What should I say?"

"..."

"My mother, she is the daughter of a big family, in order to follow her father-she ran out with her father, after so many years, grandparents have not let her go back. She only has father, only us. Father did not return to the South Bank for a while , She can't sleep every night, what to do, if she knows dad-what to do? "

I cried when I heard him talking and crying. I just saw Qilian that she looked beautiful and behaved not as rudely as an ordinary village woman. I did not expect that she had such a past. She left for a man. Home, abandoned everything, and this man found another woman behind her, which was a painful blow to her.

I gently stroked Ping'er's hair, and said softly, "Pinger, I know how sad you are when you encounter such a thing. But you have to remember that you said that you are the only man in the family. Let your mother not be sad, that is your responsibility. You should not cry now, but you should think clearly about what you can do to keep your mother from crying! "

Hearing my words, the child shook, a light flashed in his teary eyes, bit his lower lip, and nodded hard.

Looking at him like this, I was only a little relieved, and when I looked back, I saw Pei Yuanxiu looking at us thoughtfully.

Although he walked along all the way, he smiled softly at me, but this time, he seemed to be a little dignified, and in front of my eyes, he bowed his head gently.

Although they didn't say anything, they understood each other.

There are some things that have not yet been resolved.

Pinger has been plunged into the pain of his father betraying his mother, but he forgot the woman said that his father had promised to cross the river years ago, but he did not pass, but Gu Qi was not at home. Where is he these days?

This is what has always disturbed me the most.

The carriage was about to reach Gu's house. As long as I walked across this street and arrived at the corner, I also reminded Pinger to dry her tears. At this moment, there was a loud noise in front of me.

The streets of Yangzhou were already very lively, but this time it seemed different from the normal lively. Some people were yelling, everyone was running forward, and some people running next to the carriage were faintly talking.

"What's going on? Why is it burning over there?"

"It seems like the people in the government office have passed."

"Check it out, which shop is it?"

I wasn't listening. I subconsciously lifted the curtain and looked out. I saw a fire in the bungalow in front of me. The smoke billowed into the sky and blackened a large sky. Ran over.

That direction--

I was stunned, and Pinger happened to look out, glanced at it, and suddenly stopped.

"That, that, that's--"

"Pinger."

"That's my house!"

He was in a hurry, and was about to rush under the carriage. I had no time to catch him, but Pei Yuanxiu next to him grabbed him and said to the driver outside: "Quick!"

The coachman got the order, raised his whip and waved two hands. The original road was not long. After turning a corner, the carriage reached the door of Gu's house. There were many people around here, all watching the fire there. He jumped off the carriage, but his feet softened, and the whole man fell tremblingly to the ground.

There seemed to be a familiar neighbor next to him. As soon as he saw him, he said, "Oh, Pinger, why are you back? Your mother and your sister are not there!"

Ping'er was already frightened, and he rushed in quickly. People around him immediately pulled him. Some people said, "Don't be stupid, this fire will burn you!"

At this time, I was also pulled out of the car by Pei Yuanxiu, walking around and holding Ping'er, only to see that his face was already pale, and the whole person seemed to have lost his soul. He looked silly at the blistering fire, and the Gu family had already It was completely engulfed by the fire, and the beams of the house fell down one by one, arousing countless Mars. The fire was burning, and it was gushing out along the door frame. I felt very hot when I got closer. I could only grasp it with Pei Yuanxiu. Staying with him can stop the child from doing stupid things.

"How could this be ... how could this be ..."

He was completely stupid, slowly stopped struggling, and stopped rushing in, but the whole person was shaking, shaking so much that he almost stood still in the end, and threw himself to the ground with a thump and no eyes God looked inside.

I looked at all this, and the shock in my heart was no less than that of him.

Why is this happening? What happened to this fire? Qixi, and two girls, they are all in there, what happened?

My heart was filled with pain, and I almost cried, but I couldn't. And Ping'er, he didn't even have a tear, just looked inside, his eyes were so dry that he lost all his light.

I suddenly saw that there were people from several government offices nearby who were busy fighting the fire.

Why did the people in the government come to the Gu family?

At this time, I heard a few people in the surroundings whispering, "Have you heard that their family is in trouble?"

"Well, I know. That's the woman posted by the government some time ago."

As soon as I heard it, my back was numb.

"I heard someone called the officer and said that the woman was at their house."

"Are you there?"

"Later, the people from the government came and didn't see it, but they seemed to have found something at his house again. No, even the masterpiece was brought today, but the woman set the house on fire by herself."

"Ah? She set the fire herself ?!"

"Yeah. We saw it with our own eyes."

For a while, the whole person froze. I just felt a dull pain in my chest. I couldn't raise my head and looked at the Gu family who was engulfed in the fire.

Because Gou Er! It was he who followed Ruxiang to know my whereabouts, so he went to report to the official, but I left Gu's house that night, but the government here still sent someone to Qiqi's house to search. They did not find me, but it seemed I found something else, and when they came back, Qiyan burned the house by himself.

what exactly is it?

What is it that Qiyan wants to burn the house, even himself and even two girls are buried in it.

I looked at Pinger who was kneeling on the ground. He seemed to be empty all over. There was nothing to do when he was kneeling. I just looked at the fire in front of me. I slowly walked over and hugged him. Flame, but the child's whole body was like a piece of ice, and even my heart was sore and painful.

A familiar pain came to my heart, and I immediately felt that I was about to get poisonous again, and before my eyes turned black, a warm big hand stretched out from behind and held me up.

Looking back, it was Pei Yuanxiu.

He was still calm. Even in the eyes of some people who were surprised and envious, he still stood in the sea as if he were alone, not stained with dust, and the only light and shadow in my eyes was the thin body I dropped. He sank: "Don't be sad. Let's wait and see."

At this time, it seems that he is the only one who can be so calm.

And I held Ping'er's hand, but felt that my palm was cold.

.

I don't know how long it took, the fire was finally put out, and the thick scorching smell came out of it. People in the government office wrapped their noses and noses with virgin cotton cloth before dare to go in carefully.

Qiyan and Erya's charred bodies were soon discovered.

The two of them were still sitting on the bed, Qiyan was holding the second girl tightly. The tragic scene appeared. I immediately covered Ping'er's eyes. He didn't struggle, he didn't even move, just in my palm. , A burst of hot wet gushing.

The official on the other side was sent to the backyard, where Qibei usually makes buns. Now the beam of the house has collapsed, breaking the stove, and a mess.

They just walked by, and suddenly someone shouted--

"Here, there is something!"

We were all taken aback. When we walked over subconsciously, we saw those people carefully peeling off the charcoal and bricks around them. I saw that behind the smashed stove, there was a big empty shell And now, there was a white thing inside.

My heart sank and I fixed my eyes.

It's a bone!
