Ballad of the Desert · Finale 桐华 9497Words 2018-03-16
After seeing off Huo Qu's illness in the morning, I moved back to Honggu's place. Without his Huo's residence, I couldn't live in it. After all, a wife is not a wife, and a guest is not a guest. What kind of person am I? People in the whole family have too many eyes and mouths, and I am too lazy to deal with all kinds of eyes in the dark.Uncle Chen was very considerate of my thoughts, he didn't say a word, he just ordered a few servants, maids, cooks and bodyguards who had been serving in Huo's mansion to follow along, a huge group of people, Hong Gu was surprised to see it laugh.

Walking around in the garden, I stretched out comfortably: "I'm still comfortable in my own home." Hong Gu sighed softly: "Where's the Huo Mansion?" I smiled and said, "When Qubing is home, it is home, if not, it is not." Hong Gu pushed aside a few branches that were in front of me for me: "You don't know whether it's luck or misfortune to meet General Huo." He put on a big smile and approached Hong Gu, pointing to his face for her to see: "Look! Did you see it? What is this? Don't say such things in the future." Hong Gu hurriedly smiled and said, "I see, I see." She glanced at my belly: "I don't know who this child will look like in the future? But no matter who he looks like, he is a little devil, as long as you don't overpower the two of you." It’s good to inherit all of them, otherwise, will you give others a way to survive?”

When I was in the Huo Mansion, the maidservants could not read and write, but now it is much more interesting to be accompanied by Honggu than the maidservants.Reading scrolls, playing Duanqin, playing chess, or telling some interesting stories about customs in Chang'an City, life is very comfortable.I sometimes mentioned things in the past during my words, but I didn't feel much, but Aunt Hong was very moved by the glory of Luoyufang back then.Speaking of Fang Ru, Hong Gu sighed softly: "I don't think she is a ruthless person, but now when she sees me, she always avoids me whenever she can. Sometimes when she passes by, she just pretends she didn't see me."

I smiled and said: "Marry a chicken as a chicken, marry a dog as a dog, marry a pole and carry it away. Li Yannian was originally resentful towards me. I used to have a good relationship with Li Yan, but now the relationship is not good. Fang Ru can't go against it." The entire husband's family, make friends with us." Honggu hurriedly covered my mouth: "My little aunt, please be careful with what you say, why are you still calling people by their names now?" I snorted coldly: "Whether I call Li Yan or not won't affect her attitude towards me."

In the past, because of pity in his heart, he always tolerated her again and again, but she pushed forward step by step, and the old affection faded away.But because of that poisonous oath, although I hold her lifeline, there is nothing I can do about her.No matter how important her life is, how can it be worth the illness and Jiu Ye in case? It's just that although I keep my promise, she can't rest assured about me. At first, she just wanted to force me to leave Huo Qubing and Chang'an. Now, she probably doesn't have any feelings for me anymore. If she could put me to death sooner, she would sooner. day comfortable.Qu Bing is not in Chang'an now, and I am pregnant again, so I can only hide from her as the best policy.

Life is always like this, the more you want to hide, the more you can't hide.It was Li Yan who was afraid, and Li Yan came to the door. Li Yan ordered me to enter the palace to celebrate her birthday.No matter how favored Li Yan is, she is still a concubine, no more than a queen, it is impossible to accept congratulations from all officials, it is just a small banquet among the female family members in the palace, but the smaller the banquet, the more worried I am. Hong Gu said: "There is no such thing as a good banquet, why not go to the palace and ask the empress to help block it."

I shook my head with a wry smile, and Uncle Chen sighed: "Although I don't know if the empress knows that Miss Yu is pregnant, the empress has always taken good care of Miss Yu. Now that the general is not in Chang'an, the empress must not worry about letting Miss Yu enter alone. Palace, if you can block it, you must have blocked it long ago, His Majesty must have nodded, and the empress can't say anything else." I looked at my figure: "Now that my figure is showing, it must be impossible to hide it, and maybe Li Yan got some rumors, so she specially called me in to have a look. The doctor said that the first three months of pregnancy are the best It's dangerous, it's easy to have a miscarriage, now I can hide it from them for so long, after these few months of quiet life, I am also satisfied."

Uncle Chen suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to me: "Miss Yu, I beg you to take good care of yourself, if anything happens, please bear with it for the sake of the child, no matter how much resentment you have, I will deal with you when the general returns. " I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so I turned my body sideways and said, "I'm the child's mother, and I'm more nervous than you, so there's no need for you to tell me. Am I acting recklessly in your heart?" Uncle Chen was speechless, I snorted softly, just because I didn't know how to advance and retreat and generally tried to persuade Huo Qubing to marry the princess, in their eyes, I became a person who didn't know the importance of acting.

Hong Gu held my hand, smiled and said to Uncle Chen, "Although Yu'er sometimes acts very capriciously, she is not a person who does not know priorities at all." I looked helplessly at Hong Gu, was she praising me and comforting Uncle Chen?I'm afraid it will make Uncle Chen even more uncertain.I've committed a lot of crimes now, so I'm afraid it's hard to get a compliment. It's midsummer, and the heat is unbearable along the way.Before arriving at the banquet, a gust of cool wind blows towards the face, only the sound of water splashing, and the spirit immediately refreshed.

Li Yan would enjoy it very much, so she ordered someone to set up a water truck to guide the pool water soaked with ice cubes to a high place, and it fell from the gaps in the pre-built bamboo, pattering like rain.The banquet was set under the rain curtain. The freezing rain not only drove away the heat of summer, but also added a bit of fun. Some of the women enjoyed the flowers through the water curtain, some played with their girlfriends, and some played with a chessboard. Those who play chess under the water curtain, and some put grapes and fruits under the water curtain to freeze, and take it from time to time, it is really comfortable.

The girl in the boudoir saw my figure, and saw that I was wearing a hairstyle similar to theirs, not the hairstyle of a married woman. The madam showed contempt, and hurriedly dragged her own daughters aside, not allowing them to look at me again, as if looking at me more, those girls would also get pregnant out of wedlock. Some people with good manners, or those who dare not be rude to me because of their own husbands, nodded and smiled at me, or said hello in a hurry, and then avoided each other. I am like a plague, wherever I go, people will quickly disperse and disappear. I picked up a bunch of grapes from the water and ate them. Li Yan should be very happy to see the scene just now.But I'm really sorry for her. Seeing me like this, I'm afraid she won't be happy again.I grew up in the Gobi desert, and I'm not delicate enough, these things won't hurt me. While eating happily, I suddenly saw a familiar person standing alone in the corner.Li Yan must also hate this dancer from the Western Regions who temporarily betrayed her, but she was specially invited here. What does Li Yan want to do? I walked towards her while eating grapes. When she saw me, she felt a little embarrassed. I handed the grapes to her: "You look good in a Han dress." She bowed to me and saluted: "I didn't expect you to be pregnant. If Ri found out, I would be very happy. During this time, I often listen to Ri talk about your affairs, and I really want to see you, but it's not convenient for us to see you." You, I heard that General Huo has taken good care of you, even the general servants of the Huo Mansion can hardly see you." I looked at her with a smile, feeling very emotional: "You called him Ri, and he asked you to call him like that? Then shouldn't I call you brother and sister?" Her cheeks were flushed, but her expression was generous: "You can just call me Vicky." "Okay! You can call me Yu'er or Xiaoyu." I caught a glimpse of the jade ring on her thumb, and I was startled. I immediately held her hand and took a closer look. This ring was left to him by Ri's grandfather. Ji brought it to the banquet. He entrusted this orphan girl living in a foreign land to me.I let go of her hand: "He doesn't worry about you." She said in a low voice: "It was taken off from my hands the day before I went out today and asked me to put it on. I couldn't figure out the reason at first, but now..." The eyes of this woman who had always been somewhat indifferent and alienated turned red. I beat my lower back with my hands, and Vicky quickly asked, "Would you like to sit down?" As she spoke, she went around to help me find a place, and some of the better places had already been occupied, and the remaining corners and corners were occupied by people. But not two people together.Vicky smiled and pointed to a seat that looked a little better: "Let's go and sit over there! I don't want to sit, just stand and talk." I made a face at her, and pulled her straight to the place with the best view. The women who were chatting and chatting there immediately fell silent and looked at us in surprise. When I walked to them and stood still, the women suddenly stopped He stood up and hurried away with disgust and contempt on his face. I smiled and made a hand gesture to Vicky when a shepherd on the prairie wins a horse. With a soft cry, I straightened my skirt and sat down calmly.Vicky sat down next to me, covering her mouth and smiling. Only then did the ladies understand what I was, and after looking around, they all stared at me bitterly, but they didn't want to be too rude, so they had to pretend to be generous and despised me even more. The voice that I could hear said: "I heard that she used to be the owner of the song and dance studio! She only deals with men, no wonder she acts so shamelessly." I turned my head and smiled at Mrs. Jiang who was fanning: "This lady doesn't hear enough! Don't you know that Mrs. Li just went out from my song and dance studio?" Her face turned white in an instant, the most successful male business ever done by the singing and dancing hall in Chang'an City was the production of a beautiful empress, this Mrs. Jiang was so greedy for quick talk that she forgot about it. My eyes glanced coldly over the faces of the other women. Although they were unwilling, they finally lowered their heads. Vicky whispered, "They're afraid of you! How did you do that?" I smiled and shook my head: "What they are afraid of is Qubing, maybe... and Mrs. Li. You should have heard of Qubing's temper. Although these people are the wives of civil servants, their husbands don't return to Qubing Ruler, but Your Majesty values ​​martial arts over civility, after all, they dare not gamble with my husband's future and life against me, and I..." I snorted coldly: "Today is bound to be a feast for the grand family, and there is no way out if you give in anyway. Then I don’t have to be polite anymore, I’ll just scare these brats away.” Just as they were speaking, Li Yan and Empress Wei came hand in hand, followed by Yin Jieyu, who was recently conferred by Liu Che.Both Li Yan and Empress Wei's eyes fell on my abdomen, and they both pretended not to see them. .” Li Yan respectfully asked Empress Wei for instructions on everything, what song and dance she wanted to watch, or what drinking orders for fun, Empress Wei smiled and declined: "You are the birthday star today, so you are the one who decides everything, and I am just accompanying guests." After discussing with Yin Jieyu and several other concubines, Li Yan decided to draw a lottery lottery, and the female officer who served Li Yan became the master.During the banquet, all the ladies tried their best to make Li Yan smile, but the room was full of joy. When the atmosphere at the banquet was intense, someone from the palace came to pass the decree, carrying a sandalwood frame covered with brocade embroidered phoenix and big red satin.A crystal clear nine-story jade pagoda with flowing precious light stands on it.Such a large piece of jade is rare in the world, coupled with the carving process, it is truly a rare treasure in the world. Liu Che's birthday gift seemed to have put a lot of thought into it. Everyone was dumbfounded, and looked at Li Yan with a little more awe.Li Yan smiled and ordered the palace staff to place the jade pagoda in the middle of the banquet, so that everyone can appreciate it. Liu Yao, who was still walking unsteadily, held a big birthday peach and came forward to congratulate his mother on her birthday. Half of the words suddenly forgot, swallowing his saliva, sucking his thumb, turning his head to look at the prince Liu Ju behind him for help, Liu Ju reminded him in a low voice, but the more anxious he became, the less he could speak, and he looked around Staring at him with a smile, pursing his mouth, he simply threw himself into his brother's arms, hiding his head from us to see. What a lovely pair of brothers!I couldn't help but laugh out loud as I watched everything indifferently.Empress Wei smiled and shook her head, Li Yan smiled but her eyes were cold, the maid beside her immediately stepped forward and took Liu away from Liu Ju by force.I secretly sighed in my heart, where are the brothers from the Tian family?Even if they wanted to be innocent, their mother wouldn't allow it. The lottery fell into the hands of Mrs. Jiang, who had had a conflict with us at first, and she drew a lottery and handed it to the Lingzhu, who smiled and read: "The peony lottery, the person who draws this lottery can order anyone at the table to do something." Read Immediately put the sign back into the sign holder. Empress Wei smiled quietly at Mrs. Jiang. Mrs. Jiang seemed to be hesitating for a while, her eyes swept across our faces and fell on Vicky's face: "I still can't remember the last time Madam was at the banquet. I want to ask my wife to dance for us again." Vicky's status is not what it used to be. Although she came from a humble background, she is now the wife of a dignified doctor, Guanglu.Mrs. Jiang didn't order kabuki in the hall, but she ordered Vicky, mocking the scene where we fought against Huo Qubing in the hall that day, and also used this to humiliate Vicky. I stared at Lingzhu with a smile on my lips, the court lady looked at me for a while, and finally turned her head with a trace of fear in her eyes.After all, they still have some scruples about me, but for Vicky... Vicky blushed and slowly returned to normal. She shook my hand under the table and stood up to dance. Empress Wei was relieved when she heard that Mrs. Jiang ordered Vicky, and turned her head casually to talk to Liu Shi.Li Yan smiled at me, picked up a glass of wine and sipped slowly.A word suddenly crossed my mind, the person who knows you best is your enemy. Vicky's dance is graceful and moving, but the people in the audience are either surprised, mocked, despised, or dare not cause trouble, and just focus on eating with their heads down. No one is really watching, but Liu, who is hugged by the wet nurse, looks at her. He was extremely focused, clapping his little hands and giggling, struggling to get off the ground, but the nurse had no choice but to let him go to the ground and let him stand aside to watch. Vicky spun around to the dance music, and I saw two or three round beads rolling out of nowhere. Before the word "Caution" could be said, Vicky stepped on the beads and fell backwards. Subconsciously, he went to help things, and in a hurry grabbed the red silk supporting the jade pagoda. The moment he fell to the ground, the crystal clear rare treasure was smashed into several pieces. Liu, who was standing by the side watching the dance, saw that Vicky was about to fall, and wanted to help her up. Fortunately, the woman sitting beside her was quick and pulled Liu back. Swipe across it, and after a short while, a hand of blood has already flowed.The palace ladies and nurses were so frightened that they were in a mess and shouted "Prince Physician" at the top of their voices. Li Yan lowered her head to check Liu's injury, after wiping off the blood, she found that there were only two cuts, the fear in her eyes faded, but her face became more panicked, with tears in her eyes, she sternly scolded the nurse and maid. The breath I held back is only now slowly spitting out, fortunately, fortunately there is no major incident, but even so... breaking the jade pagoda bestowed by the emperor to the empress is already a felony, and at this time hurting the prince, it is even more serious. In any case, death is inevitable.My heart skipped a beat, and I turned to look at Vicky. In the panic, she just knelt on the ground quietly. Although her face was pale, her expression was very calm and calm.She took off the jade ring on her thumb, quickly stuffed it into my hand, and said in a low voice: "Vicky has no blessings, please tell me that it is a blessing in my life to meet him in a foreign land, so don't worry about me anymore." Li Yan glanced at Vicky, hugged Liu, looked at the fragments of the jade pagoda on the ground and said to Empress Wei: "Everything is at the disposal of the empress." Vicky betrayed Li Yan, and Li Yan must have wanted her dead.Today's incidents were obviously all Vicky's fault, and both of them were serious crimes. Empress Wei couldn't afford to clash with Li Yan in order to defend a dancer from the Western Regions who had nothing to do with her. Empress Wei didn't even look at Vicky, and said calmly: "Everything is done according to the rules of the palace. If you accidentally hurt the prince, you will be punished with a stick for a hundred years. Although it is a matter of the harem, I think the matter of the jade tower should be handled by Your Majesty. .” Li Yan nodded. One hundred rods!For this crime alone, Vicky must die, what else is needed?Li Yan coaxed Liu, but stared at me provocatively.Aunt Yun, who was standing behind Queen Wei, shook her head at me. When Queen Wei looked at me, she glanced at my abdomen with warning eyes. I held on to Ri's ring so tightly that it hurt my hand.For the sake of my child, I should endure, I should endure... When Ribei gave Vicky this ring, he never thought that I was pregnant and I needed to take care of a fragile little person. Afterwards, he should understand my situation.And today was so unlucky, even Li Yan herself certainly did not think that her trap could be developed so perfectly that the prince would be involved. Although the injury was minor, the crime was serious. Vicky was dragged out by the palace guards, she closed her eyes with a calm expression. While I kept looking for various reasons to make myself endure, but at the same time I kept asking myself, if I let Vicky die today, would I be able to live with peace of mind in the future?If I could sacrifice other people's lives for myself at any time, what would be the difference between me and the increasingly vicious Li Yan?Back then, I hated Yizhi for betraying her friend, so isn't this another kind of betrayal? I suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute!" Empress Wei stared at me helplessly, pretending not to hear, but Li Yan smiled smugly, and nodded slightly at me: Jin Yu, you have not let me down, welcome into the trap. I knelt down in front of Empress Wei and Li Yan: "Although Vicky is at fault, she is not the culprit." I spread my palm, and a jasper bead lay on it. In the chaos at that time, I only rushed to pick up a bead. This object proved to be too thin, so thin that it seemed to drag me down the mud pond, but it could not float anyone: "When Vicky danced, the people The woman saw several of these beads rolling down to her feet, and she fell over." Li Yan glanced at her eyeballs and said nothing, her court lady said: "Princes and princesses often play with this kind of jade beads, do you mean..." She covered her mouth suddenly, knelt down and kowtowed: " Slaves will die." Li Yan slapped her across the face, and cursed: "Bitch, you dare to talk nonsense!" Li Yan looked at the people around her, "Aside from Jinyu, who else saw this kind of beads roll to Vicky's feet? " Everyone shook their heads desperately. Li Yan looked at Empress Wei without saying a word. At this time, it is no longer enough to kill a Vicky. A jasper bead led the rumors to the prince and princess present. Who would be jealous and want to smash the father? The jade pagoda bestowed on Mrs. Li?Also hurt the younger brother? There was a sneer on Empress Wei's lips: "Investigate thoroughly, take Vicky down first and lock her up." Li Yan looked at Empress Wei without blinking, and Empress Wei kept the smile on her lips, Continued: "Take the gold and jade down to take care of it." With a bang, the jailer locked the cell door. Tears welled up in Vicky's eyes: "Xiaoyu, why did you involve yourself?" I took her hand and put the jade ring on her: "Since Ri gave it to you with his own hands, even if you want to return it to Ri, you should return it to him with your own hands." Vicky’s face was calm when she was going to die just now, but now tears were streaming down her face. I wiped away the tears for her, and looked around the cell: “It’s a little better than I imagined.” Vicky stood up immediately, gathered the straw on the ground together, and made a thick pile, asking me to sit on it: "There is no sunshine in the prison all year round, and the atmosphere is too sinister." I touched my belly and thought to myself: I'm sorry, I took you into prison not long after your father left.I have always regarded Li Yan as Wei's enemy, but never really regarded her as my enemy, but from today onwards, there is no love between us anymore.She actually set one trap after another, where does the end of this trap point to?Li Yan wanted to use this to hurt Liu Ju and Empress Wei, the shot was too light, what exactly was she trying to do?I can't see at all right now. Two days passed without any movement.Guessing that Uncle Chen and Aunt Hong have already messed up, they must have thought of a way to see me, but they never showed up. The matter seems serious. Our meals are much better than those of other prisoners, but compared with my daily food, it is similar to pig food. I am not a picky person, I can eat anything, but this unborn child is raised by us. I have been gluttonous since I was pregnant and I can't eat anything. Vicky gave me all of her meals that looked better, and I only gave me the best part of the two meals, and I was not polite to her, but even so, I still had no appetite.Forced herself to eat a few more mouthfuls, and immediately spit it out again, Vicky burst into tears with anxiety. I was full of worry and helplessness, but I didn't want Vicky to blame herself too much, so I laughed at myself with a forced smile: "I don't know who I look like, Qubing and I are not picky eaters, but we raised such a picky child, we must teach him well in the future." him." There is only a small area in front of the fence in the whole cell. When the sun is at noon, a few rays of sunlight slant in through a narrow stone window. Thousands of dust particles are flying in the beam of light. After a long time, people become a little dazed. , I don’t know if the mote is me, am I the mote, or the universe is just a mote? A pair of thin boots, a moon-white robe that fits well, and the sun shining from behind him, dyed his whole body with a faint golden halo, making him look like an illusion that is about to disappear with the wind, But that smile that was as warm as the sun was so real that it touched the bottom of my heart.In this dark, cold and dirty cell, his presence made everything bright and warm.I closed my eyes in disbelief, and opened them again, he was still standing in the sun. Master Jiu looked at me carefully, as if he had been separated for three lifetimes, with worry and fear hidden in his eyes.He stretched out his hand to me. Although he didn't say a word, I just knew that he wanted to feel my pulse. He had to make sure that I was all right before I could rest assured, so I silently handed him my wrist.After a while, his face turned pale, I wanted to withdraw my hand, but he turned around and held me, so strong that my wrist hurt. He was still smiling, but the corners of his brows and eyes were a bit haggard. It seemed that he was suffering more than me who was in prison.I couldn't distinguish the feeling in my heart, and I couldn't tell whether it was happiness or pain. After a while, I squeezed out a sentence: "I didn't suffer anything." He slowly let go of my hand: "Madam Chen forbids anyone to notify General Huo, do you want me to try to notify him?" I shook my head: "There is no room for distractions on the battlefield. This battle is a decisive battle against the Xiongnu Shanyu. This is his childhood dream. If he can't fight this battle with all his strength, it will become an eternal regret in his life. What's more, I'm only staying in prison for a few days, so there's nothing serious about it. By the way, how can you be here?" He smiled faintly: "Your Majesty is also my uncle after all, and this favor is not too great." He said it very lightly, but he didn't want to know the hardships and dangers involved, but he didn't know what sacrifice he made for this, and what he promised Liu Che.With his character, he shoulders all the sufferings alone, even if I ask, I can't find anything, so I simply pretend to believe his words, so that all his painstaking efforts will not be in vain. "Yu'er, what's going on, tell me in detail, so I can think of a countermeasure." I thought about it quietly for a while, and then told the story, my relationship with the Huns, my friendship with Japan, and Li Yan already guessed that I had a very close relationship with Japan, so she used Vicky to take me in without showing any traces. in the net. After hearing this, Lord Jiu frowned: "You still have something to tell me. Everyone in the court knows that General Huo and General Wei are relatives, but the relationship is very tense. People in the army often crowded against General Wei's disciples. If Mrs. Li had conflicts with the Wei family just because of the position of the crown prince, she should not offend General Huo. Instead, she should use the conflict between General Huo and General Wei to win over General Huo as much as possible. Why did he deal with you again and again? Although the prince and princess are involved this time, she obviously wants you more..." Master Jiu was very unwilling to link me with that unlucky word, and stopped talking halfway. I smiled and bowed to him: "I really can't hide anything from you." The tone was brisk, hoping to ease the solemn atmosphere, but it didn't work, Jiuye still looked at me with a frown. I can only confess honestly: "It is true that Li Yan and I still have some personal grievances, but I have sworn a poisonous oath, so I can't say it. In fact, she hates me so strongly, which is really beyond my expectation." Master Jiu nodded, did not continue to ask, thought for a moment and said: "The most important thing is who rolled out the beads, or the key is to find the person who dropped the beads. Although Mrs. Jiang is the beginning of the matter, But she is just a foolish person, she probably doesn't know anything, but the palace maid who ordered it is worth asking." "I thought the same way. When I saw her throwing the lottery back into the lottery holder quickly, I suspected that the order was just talking to herself. However, Li Yan must absolutely believe her if she can let her do such a thing. And under the protection of Li Yan, it's hard to ask anything." The corner of Master Jiu's mouth slowly curled into a smile, which was different from the usual smile, but with a chill: "Why ask her, as long as Madam Li chooses to sacrifice her is enough." I thought about it for a moment, and I understood it, but I didn't know what Jiu Ye would do to make Li Yan make such a concession and compromise.There were a few faint sounds of iron objects colliding outside, Jiuye's eyes were full of reluctance: "I'm leaving, you have to endure it for another two or three days." Since Master Jiu came in, Vicky hid in a corner, but kept looking at Master Jiu from time to time.At this time, when she heard that Master Jiu was leaving, she suddenly stepped forward and kowtowed three times to Master Jiu. Take care of Yu'er." Vicky hurriedly avoided Jiu Ye's gift, and nodded her head with trepidation. Master Jiu's departure took away the only sunshine in the cell, but he has already left sunshine in my heart. Vicky was a little dazed, I looked at her and asked, "Do you know Master Jiu?" She nodded, then shook her head: "I have seen him. Few people have seen him, but we all imagined that he must be a person with a heart as big as the sky, so we people in the Western Regions respectfully call him 'Shi Nantian' '. The Western Regions are drier than the Central Plains, and many medicinal herbs do not grow. The Han people always like to sell them to us at high prices. But Shi Nantian not only opened herbal shops all over the Western Regions, but the price was the same as that of the Han Dynasty. When we were involved in the war between the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty for no reason, his herbs were given to the homeless for free. Before I was selected as a maiko, I saw him on the street giving a sick man When the little beggar was being treated, he was also dressed in white that day. He was as elegant and clean as the snow on the top of the sacred mountain Tuomur, and the little beggar was covered with black and stinking pus and blood, but he held the child in his arms. In the palace, he was cautious in every move, lest he hurt the child, as if he was holding a piece of treasure. Later, in the palace of Kucha, I saw him again. At that time, the little prince had just tried a very powerful crossbow, excited I went to the ground and wanted to hug him, which is the noble etiquette that many people dream of, but he didn't move at all. Although he smiled, I could feel the indifference and rejection in his heart. I overheard two or three sentences of their conversation , Thinking of what I saw back then, I guessed that he was the rumored Shi Nantian. Apart from him, who else in the world can have such a heart? Although he has a disability, his voice and appearance will make you feel that he is stronger than everyone else. Noble. Every time I see him, he smiles, but I always feel that he seems to be carrying a lot of things, and his smile hides a lot of fatigue, so I always think that the greatest respect is probably not to disturb him. He is I lived in the palace for three days, and I just watched him from a distance for three days. I prayed to God every day, wishing him to be like an ordinary person one day. Unexpectedly, I saw him again today, and it was another A most unexpected place." Vicky slightly bent her lips, seemed to be smiling, but also sad: "It's so nice to see such a relief, he will be angry, angry, and sincerely feel relieved. Laugh, he is not that lonely god, but he... is... sad." I turned my head silently, not knowing where my gaze fell or what I saw, I just wanted to avoid Vicky's questioning and request that she didn't necessarily understand.Explaining the difficulties, he explained the difficulties of others, but who should explain his difficulties? Since Master Jiu came, the lives of Vicky and I have improved a lot. The daily meals are much more delicious, and even after dinner, a large can of milk will be given to us. Because I am still very picky, I can’t take a bite of what I don’t like, and I vomit when I eat it, so Vicky always picks me what I can eat and what I like. The two of them divide it like this, and I basically eat it these two days full. In the darkness, Vicky said softly, "We can go out tomorrow." I said "hmm".Vicky trusted Master Jiu extremely, she didn't care about the subtlety and complexity of the whole matter, she only believed that Master Jiu said to let me endure for another two or three days. In the middle of the night, I woke up from my sleep in a cold sweat. I wanted to call Vicky, but I couldn’t make a sound. Fortunately, Vicky was a light sleeper, and my shivering body woke her up.When she saw me, she was so frightened that she burst into tears and yelled outside. When I saw her reaction, I suddenly felt cold. Vicky is a calm and composed person, but she has lost her composure to this point. I am afraid that I am half-legged wandering outside the gate of hell.
