Chapter 30 Chapter Seven: Jiang Moves the Moon and Moves Stones

sun mansion. The morning dew was like frost, and the sky was washed clean by days of rain.Early in the morning, someone from the mansion came to report the Mongolian envoy's visit, and they had already arrived in the front yard. Sun Heli was surprised when he heard the sound of writing a medical case, he hurriedly turned out from the front of the book case, and bowed in the direction of Jiang Yichen: "I don't know if the envoy is coming, but it's too far to welcome the envoy, please invite the envoy Haihan!" Jiang Yichen returned the salute, and asked anxiously: "I have heard for a long time that Imperial Physician Sun is the best at treating difficult and miscellaneous diseases in the imperial hospital. Yichen came here just to ask for advice!"

Sun Heli was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "What is the unknown?" Jiang Yichen said directly: "There is a kind of amnesia in this world, I wonder if Doctor Sun can cure it?" Sun Heli thought for a while, then asked him again: "I don't know if the patient is a man or a woman?" "It's a woman." Sun Heli knew something about it, and smiled at Jiang Yichen: "There are four hundred and four medicines, and eight hundred and eight diseases. This amnesia disease can be divided into dementia, coma, and dementia. In short, the pathological changes vary from person to person. I can't guarantee that it can be cured, but if the patient can be brought to my residence, I will have an examination and then treat it, I think it is somewhat certain."

These words are also reasonable.Jiang Yichen only nodded, and said to him: "What Doctor Sun said is very reasonable! Well, I will bring the patient as soon as possible, and then I will trouble Doctor Sun. As long as she can be cured, the consultation fee will naturally be generous. !" Sun Heli nodded again, his eyes turned deep: "Healers are parents." He sent Jiang Yichen all the way out of the mansion gate, saw Jiang Yichen got on the horse, turned his head again, and saw Yuxiu's figure slowly turning around in the shadow wall behind the mansion gate.Yuxiu's eyes were chasing Jiang Yichen, who was drifting away, with complicated feelings in her eyes.

Sun Heli gave Yuxiu a relieved smile: "It is said that Liancheng cannot be found, but now someone wants to send her here, and it saves you the trouble of planning." Jiang Yichen's figure could no longer be seen, and Yuxiu's face showed a trace of sadness, but she remembered those old things, everything she had given to Jiang Yichen, and everything she had been deceived by him.Yuxiu no longer knows whether she should be feeling sad or hating.For so many years, she hated Hengtai, Mingxuan, and Fucha's family, but she couldn't hate Jiang Yichen alone. Whether that person was hypocritical or used to scheme against her, she had fallen in love with him.And this heart, until today, is still throbbing.However, now that he came here, it was because of Liancheng. He didn't expect that until today, he was still thinking about Liancheng.

Whether it's Fucha Hengtai or Jiang Yichen, they all remember Liancheng. Closing her eyes abruptly, Yuxiu said in a soft voice, "This is just right, it's just right to help me." Firecrackers, firecrackers, all the firecrackers are roaring. The children on the street corner chased a crazy woman holding firecrackers all the way, and the clerks in the firecracker shop were also chasing the crazy woman.For several days, this crazy woman stole a lot of firecrackers from the shop.Today, when she came to steal firecrackers in broad daylight again, a clerk chased after her and kicked the crazy woman to the ground, and several clerks stepped forward to beat her.All of a sudden, more and more common people were attracted to watch, but despite all kinds of beatings, the crazy woman surrounded by the crowd still refused to let go of the firecrackers.

Jiang Yichen rode out from Sun Heli's mansion, and when he turned into this alleyway and hurried past, he immediately saw the beaten figure who seemed to be Mingxuan's forehead, so he quickly reined in, jumped off the horse, Go straight into the crowd.He pushed everyone away, stopped those guys with a loud voice, and took out a piece of silver to pay Rumei for the firecrackers, and then let the group of guys disperse. As soon as the crowd dispersed, Rumei dared to raise her head quietly. When she saw Jiang Yichen, she screamed nervously, rolled and got up from the ground, turned around in a state of embarrassment, and was about to run away.

Jiang Yichen quickly grabbed Rumei, and said to her: "Why did Auntie run away? After all, we lived under the same roof, so tell me what's going on!" Rumei looked at Jiang Yichen madly, rolled her black eyes, and said to him with a distorted expression: "You also want to deal with the Fucha family, don't you? Then help me! Help me!" Jiang Yichen froze, seeing Rumei go crazy so far, he was very surprised. Rumei took out those firecrackers from her bosom, hugged them tightly to Jiang Yichen, and told him carefully: "I tell you, I have hoarded a lot of gunpowder! As long as I ignite them, I can burn them all!" Blow up! Blow down the big house! I can avenge my son! Hahaha!"

In an instant, she began to fall into a state of madness again.Since Mingxuan's death, she has often been like this, sometimes she is sober and sometimes confused, when she is sober, she thinks of avenging Mingxuan, when she is confused, she can think of any trick, no matter it is useful or not. Jiang Yichen looked at Rumei amusedly, picked up her firecrackers, and shook his head: "Auntie, with your little thing, I'm afraid you can't even blow up a roof tile, how can you take revenge?" Ru raised his eyebrows urgently, and his voice suddenly became sharp: "Then what to do! What to do! Will my son die in vain? No! I want revenge! I want them to die!"

Jiang Yichen grabbed Rumei's hand, fixed his eyes on her, and said softly: "Actually, it's not that difficult for you to take revenge. As long as you can return to that home, then everything will have a chance... " Rumei blinked, and seemed to regain consciousness again.In an instant, she understood Jiang Yichen's words.She dropped the firecrackers in her arms, and turned to walk towards General Fucha's mansion. She staggered step by step, and her worn clothes trembled in the wind.She muttered in her mouth that she wanted to go back, to the Fucha mansion where she had lived for thirty years, fought with Fujin for half her life, cried, laughed and cursed half her life, and sent Mingxuan away.

She laughed silently, for a moment she couldn't tell whether she was really awake, or she was completely insane. I don't know how long I walked, the sun is getting bigger and bigger, and the sun at noon is hanging in the sky.Rumei looked at the golden plaque of the Fucha mansion with a silly smile, when a gust of wind blew, she pretended to sit at the gate of the mansion, with ragged clothes and a miserable face, raised her hand and knocked on the gate of the mansion.Seeing this, the domestic slaves guarding outside the mansion hurriedly spread the news to the inside. In less than a moment, Hengtai took Xingdai and Liancheng to the gate of the mansion.Seeing Rumei, Xingdai thought of Hengtai's shoulder injury, so angry that she wanted to push Rumei away, and said immediately: "Didn't you disturb us enough last time? What are you doing here again?!"

With a weeping face, Rumei began to babble: "Eat... drink, I want to eat, I want to drink..." Liancheng stepped out, took a closer look at Rumei, then looked back at Xingdai, hesitantly asked: "Isn't Aunt Mei stupid?" Xingdai looked at Rumei coldly, gritted her teeth and said, "Who knows if she is really stupid, just blast her out!" Hengtai, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stepped forward, squatted in front of Rumei, raised his hand to help her, and asked very respectfully, "Aunt Mei, do you still know me?" Rumei smirked, but couldn't respond. Hengtai's eyes flickered, and he said sadly: "I said, Mingxuan is gone, and I will take care of you. Please go back to the mansion and stay safe." "Hengtai! You forget the pain when your scar is healed? How can such a person be brought home!" Xing Dai hurried out and stopped Hengtai. However, Hengtai waved his hand to signal Xing Demo to continue talking, and when he stood up, Hengtai calmly said: "Forget it, Aunt Mei is also an elder after all, since we're back, it's better for us to find a doctor to see the illness." , find someone to take care of it, that's all!" After saying that, he personally supported Rumei and entered the mansion. Xingdai was helpless, looking at the backs of Rumei and Hengtai, she had to tell Yun'er behind her: "Go, watch her! Pay close attention to her whereabouts, and don't really ask her to make trouble again!" It was night, Rumei walked softly to Little Gege's room, she leaned against the door, watching Little Gege standing on the bed and playing with dolls, the nanny who accompanied her had already fallen asleep on the bed.Little Gege was wearing a small crimson shirt, leaning on the curtain and tilting his head to look at Rumei standing at the end of the door, a trace of curiosity appeared in his immature eyes. Rumei held a small colorful windmill in her hand, and when she took a step, the windmill would be blown and swayed by the wind, and this seemed to attract Xiao Gege.Rumei handed her the small windmill, coaxed her softly and asked, "Do you want to play?" Little Gege nodded and smiled sweetly. Rumei hugged her in her arms and said with a smile: "Come on, follow mother-in-law! Take you to play, okay?" Little Grid nodded again.Rumei then wrapped the cloak on Little Gege's body, hugged Little Gege into a ball, and rushed out, all the way out of the house from the firewood house in the backyard.She hugged Xiao Gege and ran to the reeds in the suburbs, where she could see the sky full of stars and Mingxuan.Rumei knew that Mingxuan must be one of the stars, and she was looking at her now. Quiet reeds, bright stars, but no moon.The wind was a bit cold, and the windmill was broken on the way here. Xiao Gege pinched the windmill and thought of her mother, so she began to cry.Rumei hugged Xiao Gege and sat on the bank of the reeds, coaxing Xiao Gege: "Little Gege, this place is fun! Let me tell you, Mingxuan liked watching reeds just like you did when he was young It's blowing here, sometimes I want to catch him, but I still can't catch him!" The night was ferocious, and the eyebrow-like face under the starlight was even more distorted. Little Gege cried out in fright: "Er Niang! I want Er Niang!" Ru Meijiang's face darkened, and he yelled at Xiao Gege: "Where is there such a mother! No!" A dog barked, and guards in the distance led four golden-nosed god dogs to the reed marsh. For a moment, the torches illuminated the reed marsh brightly. "Don't hurt my child! Don't! Let her go!" A voice came from afar, it was Xingdai. "Aunt Mei, all the mistakes have nothing to do with the child, you give her back to me! You kill me, take Hengtai's life!" Hengtai's voice followed. Rumei held Xiao Gege in her arms, and stepped back step by step, avoiding the flames.She raised her voice and smiled coldly: "Okay, princess, sir, you have been bullying me for so many years, so you are also afraid! Then why do you kill my son regardless of his life?! Fu Cha Hengtai, what's wrong with Mingxuan, you want to put him to death! It's all nonsense, and Mingxuan will never come back. I...I can't kill you, Hengtai, and neither can I. I can't kill the princess, but I will never let your children go!" As he spoke, he pulled out a sharp knife from his sleeve. The blade had been sharpened to a sharp point, and it shone with a mournful light in the night light.Rumei clenched the handle of the knife and stabbed straight at Xiao Gege's chest.With Xingdai's scream, Liancheng suddenly rushed out from the reeds, and she raised her hands to firmly hold Rumei's blade. "You are not allowed...you are not allowed to kill Xiao Gege!" Blood kept falling down Liancheng's wrist, and Liancheng stared at Rumei bitterly. Rumei was startled by Liancheng's block, and slowly, she smiled sadly, looked at Liancheng and shook her head: "Song Liancheng, we were all killed by them! I'm fighting for a tooth, but you are still obsessed with it!" Liancheng shook her head firmly, she didn't know what to do with an eye for an eye, but she also knew that an ignorant child should not bear the sins of an adult, even if Xingdai and Hengtai were 10,000 wrong, little Gege would still be innocent. Rumei let go of the dagger abruptly, kicked Liancheng to the ground, grabbed Xiao Gege and ran to the depths of the reeds.Liancheng fell to the ground, raised his hand, and brushed Rumei's clothes, but he couldn't stop it. "Give me back the child!" Hengtai chased after him in a few steps. Rumei hugged Xiao Gege and ran to the bank of the river, and there were guards stopping her around. Seeing Hengtai also running over, Rumei smiled sadly, turned around, looked at Hengtai and Xingdai on the other side, and put Xiao Greg held it up high.Rumei laughed loudly, and a line of tears slid down: "Give it back to you? Dreaming! You can go to the Dragon Lord to ask for it!" After finishing speaking, she jumped into the river with her arms around Xiao Gege, and the pitch-black water instantly covered their figures. Submerged, there are only ripples on the river surface that are getting bigger and bigger. "No—" A heart-piercing cry shattered the night sky, and Xing Dai passed out instantly. Hengtai ran to the shore and shouted loudly: "Hurry up! Hurry up! Save me little Gege!" Liancheng struggled to get up from the bank of the river at this time, she looked at the ripples on the river, her heart tightened, she uttered a little gege, and rushed into the river.As soon as Fang stepped into the water, his mind suddenly became chaotic—— She vaguely remembered that she was struggling in the water, struggling hard, yes, she fell into the frozen lake, and during the struggle, she saw a face, Yun'er's face, and Yun'er smiled coldly.She struggled, struggled, and finally lost her strength, and slowly sank to the bottom of the lake.The bottom of the lake was so deep and cold that it froze all her memories.Now, she jumped into the river again and found all those lost memories back. A tear, overflowing. She remembered, her name was Song Liancheng, and she was raised by Song Liniang of Yingfang Pavilion!The man she fell in love with was Fucha Hengtai.Someone killed her, someone pushed her into the frozen lake!But not him, not Hengtai!She remembered it all!all! "Hengtai——" With this sound, she yelled fiercely to him on the shore, but her body was pulled back into the water in an instant.As she continued to sink, she saw a familiar face, Jiang Yichen's face.He covered her mouth, swam to the other bank of the river with her in his arms, and dragged her ashore. "You..." Liancheng shouted. But Jiang Yichen covered her mouth again, he picked her up, and with lightness kung fu under his feet, he quickly left the reed marsh.Seeing that the reeds were getting farther and farther away, and the figures of Hengtai and the others became more and more blurred, Liancheng couldn't speak.Tears kept rolling out of her eyes, and one hand was still looking in the direction of the reeds. At that moment, she still didn't know what kind of torture would be waiting for her in the future... "Your wings are stiff, how dare you disobey my will?!" Yuxiu's voice came into her ears. Liancheng opened her eyes suddenly, Jiang Yichen was no longer there, but in front of her were the two people she was most afraid of seeing—Sun Heli and Yuxiu.The place where she was imprisoned by them before was this secret room, which trapped her for three years and suffered for three years.Every smell here is so familiar and disgusting to her, like a nightmare.Those three years were the longest and most painful nightmare in her life. Liancheng shook his head and looked at Yuxiu: "You are so vicious!" She struggled to escape, but was blocked by Yuxiu, and the two women fought together for a while. "I want to leave here, I want to tell Hengtai that you are going to kill him—" With a push by Liancheng, he almost pushed Yuxiu into a large boiling vat behind him. Seeing this, Yuxiu hurriedly supported the wall of the vat, glared at Sun Heli fiercely, raised her voice and said hastily: "Sun Heli, you still don't do it! Are you going to let this enemy escape? Jiang Yichen outside is a reminder, once Liancheng leaves, None of us will survive!" Seeing this, Sun Heli gritted his teeth, shot out five silver needles from his hand, and nailed them to Liancheng's acupuncture points.Liancheng was hit with a needle, and his body trembled, but he couldn't move anymore.She opened her eyes wide in horror, seeing Sun Heli getting closer and closer to her, she tried to shout, hoping to call Jiang Yichen from the secret room. But Yuxiu grabs Liancheng, covers her mouth, and urges Sun Heli to perform the soul transfer technique. Sun Heli nodded, walked up to Liancheng, and stared at Liancheng with his eyes.In an instant, two clusters of green will-o'-the-wisps rose from his eyes, spinning continuously.Liancheng stared at the two will-o'-the-wisps, only feeling that he was sucked into a whirlpool world, and gradually lost consciousness.The brilliance in her eyes became weaker and weaker until she was completely dull, and she stood lifelessly in the secret room, unable to move or speak. At this time, Yuxiu let go of her hand, and said with a sigh of relief: "Heli, let's start to obliterate all self-consciousness for Liancheng! I want to control her in exchange for Xinxiang!" Sun Heli looked at Yuxiu, and finally hesitated: "This heart-changing incense is extremely harmful to the human body, do you really want to persist?" Yuxiu was completely indifferent, and only insisted: "Let's get started!" Sun Heli nodded helplessly, took out a few rolls of small cloth strips from his arms, and reminded: "Stuff your nose, and light the heart-changing incense later, you must not smell this fragrance." Yuxiu nodded and took it. Sun Heli shook his head, walked to a copper stove, lit the heart-changing incense, and placed the incense burner in front of Liancheng.Half a moment later, Liancheng was surrounded by puffs of green smoke, puffs of smoke glowed all over her body, her eyes gradually changed color, and she began to blink. Sun Heli looked at Liancheng, and said each sentence very slowly and clearly: "Your enemy is Fucha Hengtai, you must kill him! Before you complete this order, you can't wake up physically and mentally. Now, I want to Open some of your lost memories, all the memories of you and Hengtai will be changed into memories of hatred, he is your enemy, you must take revenge!" Liancheng blinked again, Yuxiu's face slowly changed into Hengtai's.She began to have visions in her mind, and Hengtai's face in the visions began to distort, gradually distorted, until violently distorted.In an instant, Liancheng suddenly closed his eyes, and the illusion slowly disappeared.She opened her eyes again, and the image of Hengtai in front of her changed back to Yuxiu. Liancheng said quietly: "Fucha Hengtai is my enemy, I will kill him!" Yuxiu breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Sun Heli, and asked, "It's done?" Sun Heli was sweating profusely, and only nodded: "It's done!" Yuxiu asked again: "Can't the effect of this heart-changing incense be unlocked?" Sun Heli's hands were still trembling, he wiped the sweat with his sleeves, and said slowly: "Unless Fucha Hengtai dies in front of her, it is impossible to undo the effect of Changing Heart Incense—unless..." "Unless what?" Sun Heli looked at Liancheng worriedly, and said lightly: "Unless she is greatly stimulated, and there is a deep true feeling in her heart, maybe she can be released from the bondage." Yuxiu sneered coldly: "How can there be so much true love in the world? Let's talk about it after killing Hengtai first!" Saying this, she pushed Liancheng to Sun Heli and asked him to send her to Jiang Yichen outside. Sun Heli led Liancheng out of the secret room, only to see Jiang Yichen approaching hurriedly, with a concerned expression on Liancheng's face.Sun Heli handed Liancheng into his hands and withdrew. Jiang Yichen froze in front of Liancheng for a long time, as if he was a little cautious, not knowing what to ask her in the first sentence.In a hurry, he hurriedly supported Liancheng to sit at the table, never taking his eyes off her. "Liancheng, do you really remember everything?" Liancheng's sluggish eyes turned a little bit alive, she looked at Jiang Yichen, nodded and smiled: "Yes! I remembered it already. You, aren't you Jiang Yichen!" Jiang Yichen was overjoyed, and hurriedly shook her hand: "Yes! It's me! Then you remember what happened in the past, what happened between you and me?" Liancheng rubbed his head, and said slowly: "It's a little fuzzy. I'm tired, how can I remember so clearly." Jiang Yichen didn't like it for a while, so he pouted and said, "If you remember me, you will only remember vaguely, but if you remember Fucha Hengtai, you will remember clearly?" Hearing the name, Liancheng woke up suddenly, staring at him with wide eyes: "Fucha Hengtai? Of course it is clear! He is my enemy! I wish he would die!" Jiang Yichen was taken aback for a moment, and stopped talking. Liancheng looked at Jiang Yichen, suddenly smiled charmingly, and said softly, "Although it's vague, I still remember that you are willing to do anything for me, right?" Jiang Yichen nodded hurriedly: "That's right. Liancheng, for you, I can do anything." Liancheng's face turned cold, and he said bitterly: "I want you to help me avenge me, and I want to kill Fucha Hengtai!" Jiang Yichen slowly raised his head, looked at Liancheng in disbelief, and asked falteringly, "You want me to help you, kill...Fucha Hengtai? Are you really the same Liancheng?" Liancheng stood up abruptly, and now she only has hatred in her eyes: "Of course I am not! The original Liancheng is a fool. I want revenge in front of you. I have been wronged in his house. He is a devil and a bastard. His The crimes are too numerous to list!" Jiang Yichen nodded: "Okay! Since this is your sincere intention, I promise you, I will definitely kill Fucha Hengtai for you. However, Fucha Hengtai has many tricks, and it is not that simple to kill him. Of course, There are many ways to take revenge, and there are many ways to kill people, not all of which require the use of a knife... What's more, he is still the emperor's son-in-law, and there is a princess by his side. It is actually not easy to kill him with a single knife. " In a hurry, Liancheng grabbed his wrist: "Then teach me how to kill him is the most enjoyable way?" "Of course it caused him great pain, but he couldn't even want to die. This is the only way to get revenge! It's just that you do such a thing alone. I don't worry. I can go with you." Liancheng thought for a while, then said: "You have said that he is scheming, many people know you, how can we get close to him together?" "That's not easy...I'll let Linglong follow you." Jiang Yichen sneered, deliberately trying to trick her in front of her. Lian Cheng's eyes dimmed, and he looked at Jiang Yichen: "Who is Linglong?" Liancheng brought Linglong back to the General's Mansion, and as soon as he entered the gate, he saw the garden was covered with white cloth, and there were cries from all over the mansion.It was raining in the courtyard, and Xingdai was sitting listlessly at the door, half of her body was soaked by the rain, but she was completely unconscious.The corpse she held in her arms was already frozen. Xingdai hugged Little Gege's body, her eyes were dull, she didn't know where to look, and she muttered to herself: "Daughter, are you asleep? Erniang hasn't sung you a lullaby yet, why did you fall asleep? Didn't you?" Eat too much candy? What did Erniang tell you? If you eat too much candy, you will be sleepy, you will go to bed early, and you won’t be able to hear Erniang singing to you..." And Hengtai, sitting beside Xingdai, sighed with tears: "Xingdai, give me the baby, she didn't sleep, she left." "Gone? Where did you go?" Xingdai raised her head in a daze, looking at Hengtai, her eyes were empty. Hengtai's eyes were red and swollen, and he said tremblingly, "Go...to the sky..." Xing Dai thought for a while, and suddenly understood, a line of tears fell down her cheeks, she said foolishly: "I don't want her to go to the sky, I don't want her to leave me! What happened to me? I did something bad, Isn't it? You don't even give me the last bit of hope!" For a moment, Hengtai burst into tears. Xingdai cried and cried, and gradually saw Liancheng's figure clearly. She pointed at Liancheng from a distance and shouted: "My daughter is gone. It's because of you! Because you're back! You always bring disasters, you shouldn't Come back! You are our scourge!" Said putting down Little Gege and rushing towards Liancheng. Liancheng was rushed by her, took a few steps backwards, and fell to the ground.Hengtai stepped forward, guarding Liancheng behind him, supporting Xingdai, and tried to comfort him: "Princess, princess, I know you are suffering. The murderer is dead. If you want someone to hate, you can hate me. Okay? I failed to save my daughter! I owe you a debt, and I will never pay it back. But look at Liancheng, look at her hands, you were there at the time, have you forgotten? You It makes sense, doesn’t it? Look at her hands, she’s going to lose all of her hands in order to save Little Gege! Xingdai, look at me! I’m sorry for you! I’m sorry for you!” Xingdai cried hysterically in Hengtai's arms: "You are all bad guys! You killed my child together! I hate all of you! I hate all of you!" Her fist hit Hengtai's back but gradually lost strength and fainted weakly.Hengtai picked up Xingdai, turned his head, and glanced at Liancheng, his eyes were filled with grief. For a moment, Liancheng was stunned. The person in front of her was his enemy, and she wanted to kill him.But her enemy is not like him, he should be vicious and scheming, but he is not.The contradictory voices in my heart condensed into shouts, it's not like this, the him in front of me must not be the real him. The heavy rain was still falling, and the rain hit Liancheng's body, drenching her from head to toe.An oil-paper umbrella was propped on top of her head, and behind her came the maid named Linglong.Linglong, Liancheng woke up instantly, she came for revenge, even Linglong came to help her kill Hengtai. "What? You think he is pitiful, doesn't he want to take revenge?" Linglong asked her quietly. "No! If you want revenge, you can do it now." Liancheng took a breath and said firmly. Linglong nodded and smiled: "It's a good time." The rain is still falling. Hengtai walked in the yard alone, walking slowly. He looked up at the rain from time to time, and his spirit was exhausted to the extreme. Suddenly, a child's voice came from the empty yard. "Ama—" Hengtai turned his head suddenly when he heard the sound, and shouted Xiao Gege. Seeing no one around, he turned around the yard, but there was no one, but he heard "Ama" coming from the yard again.Hengtai followed the voice all the way, and said all the way: "Daughter, daughter, I am sorry for you, you come out to see Ama, let Ama hug you again, Ama made you a small bow , I want to teach you archery... daughter, daughter—" The voice in his ear became weaker and weaker, Hengtai felt anxious and wanted to chase after him, but his body couldn't hold it anymore.A mouthful of blood spewed out, his body trembled, and he fell straight to the ground, the blood flowing along the rain... In a blur, he seemed to see Little Gege again.Little Gege ran over, took his wrist, and yelled for Ama to take her out to play.The picture flashed, and he seemed to see the suburb under the moonlight again, a hundred flowers were blooming, Little Gege was running on the grassland, the long grass covered her figure, he chased after her, but he couldn't find Little Gege again, the illusory world Among them, he was the only one left. "No—" Hengtai called out suddenly, woke up from the dream, and vaguely found himself lying in Liancheng's room, Liancheng's concerned expression appeared in his sight. "Hengtai, what do you think?" Hengtai shook his head and didn't speak. Liancheng pointed to Linglong behind him: "The house is in chaos now, the princess is heartbroken and ignores family affairs, so I will take care of you—my girl, Linglong, knows a little bit of medical skills, let her help you take a look. It might be good for your health." Hengtai was no longer able to deal with it, so he just nodded his head in agreement. Linglong stepped forward, took a closer look, took her pulse again, tucked Hengtai's hand into the quilt, and then said: "Actually, the symptoms of my uncle's illness are deep in my heart, so it leads to the rebirth of the illusion, auditory hallucinations and hallucinations. , it will be very harmful to the body—if you take some Wushi powder, it can relieve the depression in your heart." When Hengtai heard the words, he actually smiled slightly: "You girl, your medical skills are really shallow. I just ask you, how can the diseases in your heart be cured by herbs and herbs?" Hearing this, Liancheng and Linglong were taken aback, they were so nervous that they didn't know how to deal with it. Hengtai still smiled wryly, shook his head and said: "But I don't blame you. Because this is an incurable disease. My brother, aunt, and my daughter all died because of me. How can this disease be treated?" You can cure it? You just give me some medicine, let me sleep for a while, and let me see my daughter in my dream." When Liancheng heard the words, he looked at Hengtai and nodded, and said to Linglong who was behind him, "If that's the case, then come quickly." When Linglong retreated, Liancheng sat beside Hengtai, gently stroked his forehead with one hand, and said softly: "Hengtai, you can't collapse! You are the reliance and hope of everyone in the house. You want to Be obedient, take medicine and rest well, and don't abuse your body!" Hengtai was sadly silent and did not object. Liancheng patted him lightly, and stayed silent with him.Until Linglong walked in with a bowl of medicine, Liancheng scattered the five stones into her hands, her eyes flickered, she gritted her teeth, turned to stare at Hengtai, and passed the bowl over: "Come on! Hengtai, drink up!" It! Drink it and you won’t suffer so much.” Hengtai opened his mouth as he said, and let Liancheng feed him the five stone powder. After drinking the last drop, Hengtai held Liancheng's hand wearily, and slowly closed his eyes: "If there is an afterlife, I hope you will be well and don't meet me like this." After he finished speaking, he gradually lost consciousness and became powerless. He fell backwards, slammed onto the bed, unconscious. The candles flickered, and the rain outside the window faded forever. Xing Dai knelt in front of the Buddhist hall, heartbroken, she had been guarding Little Gege's longevity lamp all night long.Dawn gradually dawned outside the window, the long rain dissipated, and a ray of sunlight leaked out, and Little Gege's jinx gradually weakened. Seeing this, Xingdai folded her hands together and sincerely prayed to the Buddha: "Since Xingdai married Fucha Hengtai, her life has been extremely miserable, and now her daughter is also suffering from misfortune. My Buddha is merciful, forgive me for my unintentional lies when I am in extreme pain, wake up Dai would rather believe that she is the little boy who holds the lamp for you. Please let me enlighten her to go to the Western Ultimate Bliss Land, so that she will not enter the six realms of reincarnation, and will never suffer in the world of mortals. Alas, how can the suffering that Xingdai suffer disappear? Buddha , can you give me an answer?" The Buddha was speechless, silently responding to her expectations.Xing Dai wiped away the last drop of tears, sent the weak longevity lamp to the Buddha's table, and was about to turn around to leave, but when she turned around, she saw a person kneeling beside her at some point.And that person is extremely familiar. After vaguely recognizing it, Xing Dai suddenly said: "Ah! Bu Qingyun—Boss Bu!" Bu Qingyun looked at Xingdai, also stunned: "It's you?" "It's me! Boss Bu, why are you here?" Bu Qingyun burned out the incense in his hand, stood up and said, "I'm here to offer incense. By the way, I will go to the backyard of the Buddhist temple to practice opera. It's very quiet here. What about you? Why are you here too?" When Xingdai was asked about her pain, she shook her head and said bitterly: "I feel uncomfortable, my relatives passed away, and my fate was twists and turns. I want to ask the Buddha to enlighten me and show me a bright way." Bu Qingyun just nodded: "Oh, so to speak! I see the sadness on your face. If you continue like this, you will be sad and hurt yourself, and even others will feel sad and cry when they see it. Let's meet today. It’s also Buddha’s destiny. How about this, you come to the backyard with me, let’s sing together, in the world of drama, people can forget everything, and all worries and troubles can be dispelled.” Xing Dai was curious, and followed him into the backyard, where there were flowers and grass, and a very elegant pavilion. Bu Qingyun stood in front of the pavilion, stepped on his steps, hummed, and at the same time signaled Xing Dai to follow his steps.Following Bu Qingyun's guidance, Xing Dai began to sing slowly, and said in one mouthful: "Yaochi received the Holy Mother's instruction, turned around and took a bottle of wine..." Just one sentence sang, and illusions abounded.Xing Dai only felt that countless ribbons were falling from the clouds, and she was as light as a swallow, and began to rise gradually, as if she was in a misty mythical world, where there were cranes flying around with versicolor grass in their mouths, and deer were running all over the mountain. Xing Dai seemed to see that she had become a real fairy, soaring through the clouds and riding the fog, doing whatever she wanted. "In an instant, all the nectar is poured out. I hope that every year will be like this, and I will live forever..." Xing Dai was fluttering, but Bu Qingyun called out: "Okay!" This sound brought her back to reality.She stood in front of the pavilion in a daze, with the long sleeves in her hands. For a moment, she felt a bit of nostalgia for the illusion of Fang Cai. Suddenly, Bu Qingyun praised her: "Good! Not bad, you sing really well!" Bu Qingyun walked over step by step, and praised her. Xing Dai smiled slightly, and remembered that she hadn't smiled for a long time since Xiao Gege's death, so she couldn't help but nodded.She looked at Bu Qingyun and asked sincerely: "Sure enough, singing can relieve the depression in my heart. Boss Bu, can I often come to learn opera from you in the future?" Since Little Gege left, Hengtai was taken care of by Liancheng every day, and he was unconscious for eight or nine out of twelve hours.The news reached Xingdai's ears, and Xingdai felt strange, so she brought Yun'er to visit Hengtai.As soon as he opened the door of Liancheng's room, he felt that the room was full of darkness, without a trace of life, and the smell of soup and medicine filled the room was even more pungent. Hengtai curled up inside the bed with a decadent and nervous expression on his face.Seeing Xingdai, he rushed forward with twinkling eyes, telling Xingdai repeatedly: "Princess, I tell you! My daughter is not dead! I saw her! She calls me every night, Ama! Ah Ma! Princess, did you hear that? Yes, it’s her! No, she’s a ghost! It’s the ghost that haunts me! Ah!” It turns out that Hengtai has been in an abnormal state for a while.Xingdai frowned sadly, and comforted him in a gentle voice: "What the hell is going on in this world, Hengtai, what's wrong with you?" "No! It's really a ghost!" Hengtai pulled Xingdai's sleeves tremblingly, and said again and again, "What a scary ghost! You can't catch her, but she can come to you!" "Hengtai, are you crazy?" Xingdai supported Hengtai and was about to speak, but Liancheng came in from the door with some soup. "Hengtai, come and take the medicine! You won't be afraid after taking the medicine!" Liancheng brought the medicine with his head down, and when he looked up again, seeing that it was Xingdai, he knelt down and saluted in surprise. Xing Dai looked at the medicine in Liancheng's hand, and asked, "What is this?" Liancheng spoke calmly: "This is a calming medicine for Hengtai, otherwise Hengtai would not be able to sleep well every day, and he would not dare to close his eyes. What I boiled here is Wushisan. It is very important for Hengtai's condition. beneficial." Before he finished speaking, Hengtai jumped up from the bed, grabbed his clothes, and shouted, "Come on, come on! My daughter is here, I'm going to see her!" He ran out barefoot. Seeing this, Liancheng hurriedly chased him out.Xing Daifang also wanted to chase, but was attracted by the soup on the table.她将那汤药闻了闻，即递给云儿，要她送去太医院瞧一瞧。对于连城，她始终不能放心，尤其见到恒泰这个模样，她不得不防。 醒黛转身便要离开，一时间顿住了脚步，目光转去身旁的大衣柜。她想了想，蹑手蹑脚地打开柜门，自己藏了进去。她想，这个世上，转身间，绝不能有鬼，这里面必有蹊跷，不如就让她自己来会会这个“鬼”！ 醒黛在这衣柜中等了半日，直至深夜，恒泰已和连城睡下。她透过衣柜门的缝隙悉心打量着屋中的情况，窗外忽然有人影闪过，确有一个童音幽幽响了起来—— “阿玛，我在这儿啊！阿玛，来陪我玩！” 床上的恒泰突然被这声音惊醒，翻身下床，披上衣服就跑了出去：“啊！是小格格！是小格格！你来了？你又来找阿玛了？！” 醒黛见状，忙轻轻将衣柜推开，从里面走了出来。听窗外的声音，似是有几分像小格格的声音，但听声音细细分辨又觉得不太像。她率先推门而出，连日里京城都在下雨，而窗外房外的回廊上也没有落下湿脚印。这着实神奇了些。既没有多余的脚印，又搜不见人，莫非真的闹鬼了？ 醒黛刚转身，迎面就撞见了身后的恒泰。 恒泰眼睛直勾勾地盯着她：“你怎么在这儿？” 醒黛紧张道：“我……我还想问你呢！你这是怎么了？” 恒泰苍白的脸上露出诡异的笑：“嘘！你知道吗？女儿回来了，她回来了！我想，我就要看到她了！哈哈哈！我就要看到她了！” 醒黛瞧着这般的恒泰，更觉恐怖，她猛地抱住他，试图让他平静下来。眼泪顺着他的脖子往下流，她轻轻附在他耳边，一声连着一声：“恒泰，小格格不在了，这一切都是幻觉……” 云山禅院的后院，风来，细雨绵绵。 长春亭前，醒黛持纸伞，甩着云袖，口中随着步青云咿呀唱念。只是今日，她有些魂不守舍，才念了两句，便呆呆地愣住了，完全忘了口中的唱词。步青云见她这个样子，不免一笑，索性收了油纸伞，陪着她走到亭中话一番家常。 “你这是怎么回事？今日一直心神不宁，魂不守舍的。”步青云予她斟了一杯茶，推递过去，“心有旁骛，又如何学得好戏？你还是休息休息好！” 醒黛点点头，心中却始终压抑不下那些疑惑，便问步青云：“我心中的确是存了一个老大的疑团，你说，这世上真有鬼怪魂灵吗？” 步青云一笑：“自然是没有的。当然，信则有，不信则无，所谓疑心生暗鬼，又所谓半夜鬼敲门，这都是个人的心之所为，所以看到了各种幻象，就以为是见了鬼怪。其实世上是没有的，至少我是没有见过的。” “那为什么寺庙还要大开法事，做水陆道场来超度亡魂？这不就是说有鬼吗？” 步青云想了想，又道：“死者已矣，所谓超度，非为死人，乃是为了活着的众人而已。” 醒黛点了点头：“步老板言之有理，可我还是不能理解，如果没有鬼怪亡魂，那么，怎么会四周都没有人说话，却凭空多出来一个声音呢？还是一个小孩子的声音？” “莫非是有人在伪装？” “大家都闭口不语，一个声音就细细柔柔地飘了出来，很诡异的！”醒黛旋即摇了摇头，觉得不像。便在前几日，她见那声音确实折磨恒泰，便也召集了全家人守在大厅，众人无一人开口，却仍听见声音无端端地飘了出来，实在诡秘。 “是腹语。”步青云沉思半晌，豁然开朗道，“你身在大户人家，自然不会明白。想我步青云自幼闯荡江湖，世上的奇术伎俩见了不少，这种闭口能言的功夫，叫做腹语术。据说传自波斯天竺一带，本来只不过是江湖卖艺者的小技，用木偶做说话的人，自己用腹语术发声。当然，声音听起来有些滑稽。” 醒黛愣愣地看着步青云：“真的？” 步青云只一点头：“很粗浅的腹语我也会一点。腹语虽然不难，但若是武功高强的人加以真气控制，说出来的声音就能与口语无异。我知道经过严格训练之后的腹语师，可以发出清晰的语音，甚至还可以用腹语来唱歌唱戏，这都是可能的。你所遇到的，自然就是腹语术了，不是鬼。而且发声的人，还是个身具上乘武功的人。” “这种邪术有没有破解的办法？”醒黛亟亟问道。 “自然是有的。这门功夫混合了内功，如果你的内功比他深厚，那么自然就可以破解。” 醒黛一叹气，方才舒展的眉头又蹙了起来：“我又没练过功夫，这不等于没说吗？” “当然，还有一个简单的方法，虽然不能破他的功夫，却保证可以叫他原形毕露！” "how?" “以内功使用腹语术之人，丹田之内最忌讳寒气，而黄连与生石膏是极寒之药，若是配上几味辅佐，寻常人饮之无事，但若是腹语之人，则万万抵挡不住！” 醒黛一听，方醒悟而笑。 自云山禅院回到富察府，醒黛片刻不耽误，将全府上下齐聚在前院之中，还准备了黄连和生石膏的汤药。她将每碗汤药分给大家，端坐在主位上，目光将众人一扫，只道近日去太医院，闻听最近京中疾病流行，所以开了一付防病的药方，如今叫人熬好，一人一碗，全府之人都要喝下。 待个个喝下，只过半个时辰不到，便见人群中有一人已然痛得弯下了腰。醒黛一步走过去，端起那个人的脸，一看，见是玲珑。 “果然世上是没有鬼的，你装神弄鬼，意欲何为？快说！” 醒黛恨恨地看向玲珑，正欲命人将她拿下，却见玲珑捂着下腹猛然站起身，将醒黛推开，便径直飞上了房檐，准备逃跑。一众家奴见状便提着棍棒追了出去。玲珑自房檐上飞出府外，便往后山荒地跑去，一路去到山崖边，身后已是悬崖峭壁。而醒黛随着一众家奴已然追了上来。 醒黛看着山崖边的玲珑，料想她不敢跳，便道：“你快点过来，束手就擒，我或许还能饶你一命！” 玲珑只往后退了半步，毫不退让道：“谁要你卖好了？你若再上前一步，我就跳崖！” 醒黛冷笑着：“行啊，都学会威胁我了！可你家公主是被人能威胁的人吗？我偏就要上来，看你跳不跳崖！你要不跳，看我不推你下去！”说着，便上前一步，只见玲珑毫不犹豫地转身一步，纵身跳下了山崖。 山崖边，风声鹤唳。 醒黛朝前一步，向下探去，只见万丈深渊，两纵清寒，山崖下云雾茫茫，雾气越来越重，再看不到玲珑的身影。待醒黛随着众人离开山崖，山崖下突然传来一阵声响，一条古藤挂落山崖之下，而玲珑便攀住了那古藤，一步一步爬了上来。她刚一爬上山崖，喘了口粗气，便一把撕下了脸上的面皮，只见那面皮之下，赫然是江逸尘冷笑的脸。 In the early morning, the sky was just getting bright. 连城一夜未睡，早早就醒来了，立在恒泰的榻前，凝着恒泰熟睡的样子，脑海中却在思索玲珑的事。昨日玲珑一事败露，醒黛自也怀疑到了她，好在她及时将玲珑之事与自己撇清关系，再又蒙恒泰替自己圆了话，才应付了醒黛。从前的计策，似乎行不通了。她心中又急又茫然，正想着，窗口一声动静，似有风来吹开了窗扇。 连城披了衣，前去关窗，却见江逸尘打扮成家奴模样，正蹲在窗下，眼睛盯着连城。 连城悄悄回去看了眼床上的恒泰，见他全无醒转的迹象，便压低了声音问江逸尘：“你怎么这样鬼鬼祟祟的？” 江逸尘悄然急道：“莫说我，先告诉你，事情已经揭穿了，公主会对你更加防范！如今这个女人，已经成为我们行动中最大的绊脚石，我们必须要铲除掉这个女人。” “这倒是，她之前已经盘问过我了，被我糊弄了过去，好险啊！” 江逸尘一点头，坚定道：“所以，要提前动手了。” “她可是公主啊！你要怎么办？” 江逸尘一笑，向着连城摊开了手，手掌心以墨写了六个字—— 云山禅，步青云。 连城不解，忙要问江逸尘，却见他诡秘地冲她一笑道：“记得，借刀杀人！”待看着江逸尘走远，连城扶着窗愣了半晌，再转身，见床上的恒泰翻了个身，似要转醒。 连城几步走过去，轻轻抬起了帷帐，迎着睡眼惺忪的恒泰便是一笑。她将他扶起来，为他穿衣系扣，突然手中一顿，似想到什么似的，提议道：“恒泰，我见你这些日子都躺在家中，也没出去走动走动，这样身体可不好恢复。要不，我们出去散散心？” 恒泰一手端过漱口水，闻言点了点头：“我这几日也觉得烦闷，出去走走也好。咱们去哪儿？” 帷帐上映落了一记朝霞，连城便盯着那影绰，幽幽道：“最近发生了这么多的事情，你的身体又不好，公主的情绪更是差劲，我总是担心，所以想去云山禅院进香，求佛祖保佑富察府一切平安。” “好！连城，亏你想得这般周到。我这就叫下人准备马车，咱们用了早膳就去进香。”恒泰爽快一应，便将连城的手握在自己手里，面上笑色柔暖。 连城被他盯得有些心虚，这些日子以来，无论是何事，都让她觉得恒泰是真心待她好。而她，却仍是在百般加害于他。 “好。”连城轻轻应了声，将头微微低着，“恒泰，你对我真好！” 恒泰一把将连城抱住，唇蹭向她的鬓边，柔声道：“你对我也好。这些日子多亏你照料，我的身体才能恢复。” 连城目中一抖，默默地垂下眼皮，全无声息。 早膳后，马车将连城和恒泰送入云山禅院。连城记着江逸尘的提点，才一进入禅院，并不急着上香，而是搀扶着恒泰一路转去后院。春光如线，袅袅微风晕染了阳光，后院的花园别有一番动人的风景。 连城扶着恒泰走在园中的回廊上，远远地，听来戏声婉转，似有一男一女在唱。连城四下望去，果然见远处那一方亭子里，落着两个人影。她的唇缓缓挑上一丝笑，连城将手一指亭子的方向，示意恒泰同看：“恒泰，你瞧，那好似是公主和步青云，他们二人怎么这样亲热啊。” 恒泰转过目光，果然见亭中醒黛和步青云二人相依偎着，口中咿咿呀呀地唱念着，似是唱得正浓。二人目光交织，情深意浓。 恒泰几步走上前去，驻步在亭子一侧的回廊上，声音飘向亭中：“公主，您这是怎么回事？” 亭中二人身影一顿，纷纷转身望向回廊。步青云一见是恒泰，奇怪了一声：“恒大爷，您怎么来了？” 连城一步上前，冷冷看着二人，挑拨道：“恒大爷当然要来啊，因为在你旁边，和你柔情蜜意的女人，就是当今的醒黛和硕公主，也就是恒大爷的妻子！” 一言落下，醒黛和步青云二人齐齐变色。只见连城瞥了醒黛一眼，便继续道：“我万万没想到，你们二人竟然做出这样败坏门庭的事情。这，还牵扯了皇家的体面，唉！” 恒泰此时已皱紧了眉，挥手止住连城：“连城，不要再说了。如果真是这样，他们两人能在一起，也算是各得其所。公主是君，恒泰是臣，公主喜欢做什么，我哪里又管得了？再说，我自己立身就不正，又如何能够要求别人？”说着转身欲走。 醒黛一急，厉声叫住了他：“恒泰！你能不能不要这样一厢情愿？我说了什么做了什么，你就把自己的判断强加给我？你这是大方吗？是大度吗？不！你是在给你和连城找一个合理的理由，这个理由可以让我从此闭嘴，是不是？！” 恒泰将脸一偏，闭上眼，抿嘴不语。 “好！如果你真的这样以为，那就这样以为吧！我这就和步老板真正好上了！这样你就开心了！”醒黛满目是泪，伸手搂住了步青云。 恒泰只觉得胸口闷痛，他退了一步，痛得弓起身子。 步青云被这场面吓坏了，两膝猛地落地，向着恒泰跪下，不住地叩头：“恒大爷，你听我解释，我和公主只是唱曲啊！我和她是清白的！” 连城睨了眼步青云，冷冷笑道：“清白？谁能证明？！唱曲哪里唱不成，非要到这深山野寺里来？孤男寡女，真是好清白啊！” 步青云将头一仰，不愿屈服地道：“连姨娘，你这话就不对了！我们唱戏的，讲究个环境，又有什么不对？你这样诬陷我和公主，是何道理？” “我可没有诬陷，这都是事实啊！”连城刻意扬了声音。 恒泰终是忍无可忍，一把拉住连城，看也不看醒黛，怒吼一声：“够了！由他们去！” 步青云抿着嘴，看着连城，甫一冷笑：“连姨娘，我有证据，证明我和公主是清白的。” 连城闻言瞥了她一眼，只轻笑道：“任你舌灿莲花，被我抓了正着，也没有用。” “未必——”步青云扬声，手下迅速解开了自己的衣服，毫不避讳地朝着众人展开两襟，只见那贴身的竟然是个兜肚。 一瞬间，众人皆呆愣住了。 “你，是女人？”醒黛颤颤一声，难以置信道。 凉凉的风吹过步青云的眼眸，她将两襟再一合，系着文扣，羞涩出口：“我是个女儿身，自幼学戏，花旦出身。你们哪里知道，我在戏台上才是真正的自己，到了台下，我就要反串，我要演男人。这些就不说了，连姨娘，你现在总算相信我和公主的清白了吧？” 连城顿时哑口无言，退了半步，万万没想到，步青云还留了这张底牌。 醒黛此时点点头，迎着恒泰走了过去，她指着连城，一步步靠近恒泰，缓缓开口：“恒泰，你看到了吧？你看到了连城今天的丑态了吧！这就是你爱慕信任的小茉莉？我们夫妻多年，我什么也不想多说，但请你想一想，今天你为什么会来这儿？这难道不是连城布的一个局吗？她分明就是一个坏人，一个妖孽！当然，我知道，你依然不会相信，因为你太一厢情愿了，你一直沉浸在对连城的幻想中。我只问你一句，连城若真是一个妖孽，你也爱她吗？” 连城若真是一个妖孽，你也爱她吗？ 这一声，便撞入了恒泰的心底。恒泰一时垂下头，沉默不语。 醒黛猛闭上眼，一行冷泪迅速坠落，再睁眼时，她苍凉而笑：“好好好，你就带着这种毫无原则和所谓的爱，和她一起离开吧！这世上再也没有比你更愚蠢的男人了。”她如今总算是明白了，他不是被宋连城给迷惑了，而是被自己的执念所强迫了。便是如此，任谁也帮不了他，只能他自己好自为之。 数载夫妻，终于走到了这个份上。醒黛最后看了一眼恒泰，决绝地拉着步青云转身离开。 连城看着醒黛离去的身影，不由得挑了一抹淡笑，身侧似有什么沉了下去。她再一转身，便见恒泰已瘫软在地，神色木然，不知望着何处。 连城缓缓蹲下身，想要扶起恒泰，而恒泰却甩开了她的手，一脸淡漠，脸色极为不好。连城一时心虚，咬牙对他道：“公主的事情，真是很意外。我弄错了，可也是替你着急，你别生我的气啊！” 恒泰缓缓抬起头，转向连城，淡淡地笑了笑。再移开视线，恒泰便望着亭前的那株铁梧桐发呆，语声轻淡：“你今天这样有兴致，带我来这禅院，就是设局让我捉奸的，是不是？” 连城心中揪紧，忙要摇头，却听恒泰又问了一声—— “如果事实果然如此，那么连城你想要我怎么做呢？要把公主赶出去吗？” “不是的，恒泰，你听我解释……” 恒泰一挥手，重重地叹了一口气：“连城啊，自从你回来，这个家就没有一天安稳，谁都没有过上开心的日子。” 连城突然觉得心慌，不是因为恒泰怀疑自己，而是此刻，他分明是要赶她离开。 恒泰再一闭上眼，推开连城意欲搀扶的手，自己扶着廊柱勉力站了起来，他一步步走向院门。门外此时已然停着一辆马车，恒泰一把握住挂在马头的缰绳，狠狠握紧，目光望着远方，苦涩道：“我也想过了，你是故意为之也好，你是被人要挟也好，你是爱我也好，不爱我也好，无论是真是假，我已经不想去深究。我累了，心好累。咱们的缘分也许已尽了，你，走吧！我不想再见到你。” 连城已然愣住了，全然不敢相信自己的耳朵。 “这车上，有现成的银子，也有一些应用之物。你爱去哪儿，就去哪儿，不要再回来了！听见没有？不要再回来了！”恒泰说着，再一转身，将手中的缰绳塞到连城手里，扭头就走。 “恒泰——恒泰——” 连城望着他的背影，唤了两声，却始终不见他回头。连城不知所措地看着手中的缰绳，和这一车的财物，不知为何，心底突然抽疼了一下。 走入熟悉的密室，连城的目光便盯着曾经煎熬了她三年的液体池。如今液体池中已不再有千年寒冰，也没有那黄色的药花，和血一样鲜妍的液体，只剩一池宁静清澈的湖水。毓秀徐徐步至她身后，只瞧着她一副低落的模样，便知她在富察府中恐怕是遇到了难事。 连城望着池中倒映而出的自己的影子，背对身后的毓秀缓缓开口道：“如今恒泰将我赶了出来，怕是已经知道我要对他不利了。” 毓秀闻言，猛地蹙眉，想来恒泰对连城的盛宠，实在不该是这样。她略略低吟，待思路清明，即摇了摇头，看着连城的侧影道：“这事情只怕另有文章。你想，如果富察恒泰真的已经得知了一切，那又何必让公主走掉？” 连城闻言身子一怔，张了张嘴，犹豫道：“两个人应该留下一个才是，可如今却是两个都不留，那么只可能是他对我们的计划依然一无所知。” 毓秀亦点着头，突然一击掌，无限欣喜道：“我明白了！这个该死的富察恒泰已经是病入膏肓了！没错！如此大剂量地服用五石散，加之又有丧女之痛，夜夜闹鬼，他的身子早就垮了！嗯，他知道自己时日无多，所以也不想让你们看着他死！” 连城一脸惊讶，似不能相信一般，瞪大眼睛看着毓秀：“他要死了吗？” “哈哈哈！对！要死了。我们的计划快要成功了！” 连城微微皱起了眉，再问：“那么，我接下来要怎么做？” “回去，回到他身边，而后……”毓秀敛笑，红唇微启，“送他一步上西天！” 连城目中一颤，咬唇问：“回去？怎么回去？！恒泰已经把我赶出来了啊！” 毓秀自然了解，只笑道：“以恒泰的脾气性格，原是个吃软不吃硬的。只要你肯回去，说些温言软语，还怕他不乖乖地留你？另外，若是你不在他身边，富察恒泰未必每日都会服用五石散，若是缓了缓药性，只怕未必会死。还是稳妥些，看着他死在眼前才最放心！” 连城依言点了点头。 毓秀瞧着这般的连城，微微沉思了一番，目光中闪过一丝凛冽。 许久，她似下定决心一般，开口向连城指示道：“对了！京城附近的山上，有片云芝地，暗藏着沼泽的凶险，你把他领到那儿去，只说是给他采云芝补身，只要他陷进沼泽，那就万事大吉了！” “恒泰那么精明，若是不上当，又该如何？”连城摇头，似觉得有些不妥，如今她已然错失一次机会，不能再让恒泰起疑了。 毓秀不动声色道：“你同他一起去，你走在前面，富察恒泰又岂有不跟着走进之理？” “我把他引进沼泽？
