Chapter 17 Chapter Seventeen

He was in a happy mood, and his steps became more and more light, and he yawned loudly following Ju Xiang, who followed behind him.Turning around and giving her a look, she said: "Little girl, if you're sleepy, go back, you don't need to remind me like this." Ju Xiang smiled and said, "You asked me to go back." Seeing me nodding helplessly, she ran back as fast as she could . Sighing and shaking his head, he continued to move forward.The light wind was blowing, and the moon in the sky softly sprinkled silver light, and the whole garden was shrouded in night, full of mystery.Borrowing the light, I found a smooth stone by the lake and lay down with my arms on my pillow.

Relax wholeheartedly and let your soul be completely purified under this white moonlight.Suddenly, a slight sigh came to his ears, as if there was someone beside him.Sighing inwardly, just as she was about to get up, the familiar sound of the flute drifted over with the wind. The sound of the flute is beautiful and cool, lingering and euphemistic, like weeping and complaining. Get up, follow the sound of the flute to the other side of the lake.Thirteen is sitting upright holding the flute, his face under the moonlight is focused, pale and lonely.He seemed to be unable to hear the sound of the outside world, and was only immersed in his own world. His eyes were empty and his eyes were lifeless, as if he were a lifeless sculpture.

I sighed heavily and called: "Master Thirteen." Thirteen suddenly turned his head, paused for a while, and then said, "So it's Miss Xiaowen." With a hint of a smile, he said, "You have already got your wish, why do you still have this expression?" Startled, he didn't expect that he would still be joking at such a time, and repeated the old saying with a wry smile: "Master Thirteen, don't suffer yourself anymore, since you can't let go, why don't you go find it?" Thirteen Yao Shaking his head, he said, "Xiaowen, why don't you understand." Frowning, he asked, "What do you understand?" Thirteen didn't answer, but instead asked, "What does the emperor call you now?" , Covering up: "Call me by my name."

Seeing me like this, Shisan said: "If you don't worry too much, why do you need to be like this. Although he is the emperor, he also has his difficulties." In his heart, he was a little lost and said: "No matter what he has in mind The embarrassment, as long as he can recognize me, I have nothing to ask for." After listening, Shisan looked sadly and said, "Lvwu will understand me as you understand Brother Huang." Looking at Shisan, I suddenly felt that I had been looking for troubles in my heart. Compared with Shisan and Luwu, we Is indeed happy.Putting away the gloomy expression on his face, he stared at Shisan Dao: "Since you understand so well, please let go of your heart, Luwu doesn't want you to be so sad."

Shisan smiled slightly and said, "Let's stop consoling each other. There are some things that others can't persuade. You have to wait for yourself to gradually understand." Withdrawing his gaze from Shisan, he thought carefully about Shisan's words, and sighed again in his heart. , Life is like a dream, the years are ruthless, suddenly looking back, the former desperate Thirteen Lang also grew up in love with his son and daughter.Seeing me in a daze, Shisan smiled and said, "Your skills in daze have only increased." Looking at each other with a smile, I said: "Master Shisan, why didn't you go back to the house today." Shisan glanced at me, hesitated and said, "I don't know if I should tell you." Although he was puzzled in his heart, he said: "You don't need to talk about the affairs in the court." Thirteen nodded my forehead and smiled: "The problem of not being right is still there." Seeing me rubbing my forehead with a bitter face, Thirteen said happily: "I still give it to you." You said it."

Shisan suppressed the smile on his face, and said with a tense expression: "The Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet is a big event this time, and the emperor means to let the eighth brother and the ninth brother come back. But the ninth brother refuted the emperor's face, Stay in the forbidden place." My heart was shocked, and I said anxiously: "What about the eighth master and the fourteenth master?" Seeing this, Thirteen shook his head and said: "The tenth brother and the fourteenth brother have already answered and will come back, the eighth brother has not expressed his position yet."

Silently thinking about their ending, feeling like being devoured by thousands of ants, he clutched his chest unconsciously, seeing my miserable face, Thirteen let out a sigh of relief, "No wonder Brother Huang doesn't want to call you Ruoxi. "He was shocked, and the doubts in his heart were completely resolved in an instant. As long as he doesn't admit that I am Ruoxi for a day, I have no position to speak for them. Tears flowed down the cheeks silently, and the bitterness and sweetness in my heart were mixed together, and it was difficult to distinguish the taste.Thirteen stared at me silently, and when my thoughts calmed down, Thirteen stared at me and said, "Fourth Sister-in-law, don't make Fourth Brother suffer any more, and don't take too much care of others." Listening to Thirteen Sister-in-law Si said, feeling a little dazed, has the day she was looking forward to finally come?

Thirteen stopped looking at me, stared at the lake and said in a deep voice: "If it weren't for your existence, maybe the eighth brother and the ninth brother would not be in this world long ago. When they separated the fourth brother and Hong, they thought they did it cleverly and might hide it The fourth brother's eyes." Tears welled up again, and he murmured: "Then how will he treat Eighth Master and the others? Haven't they already given up the throne, and Hongshi didn't do anything too outrageous." Thirteen scolded: "Give up, have they given up? There are their people everywhere in the palace. Last time you were kidnapped, fourth brother was convinced. They have sent someone into the palace to take you away. You know fourth brother How angry are you? Originally, your disappearance has made the fourth brother heartbroken. In addition, what happened between you and the starling made the fourth brother hate the starling, but it was the starling who rescued you in the end. How do you let the fourth brother deal with it? Myself. As for Hongshi, he is the fourth brother's child after all, if he can wake up in time, the fourth brother will definitely not embarrass him."

Thirteen was silent for a while, seeing that I was still in a daze, stood up, turned around and walked towards the side of the road, walked two steps and said: "It's late at night, take care of yourself." After that, he walked forward quickly go. The moon hangs in the middle of the night sky, quietly emitting light.The mottled tree shadows are projected on the lake, outlining a variety of shapes, which sway slowly with the water flow.Quietly looking at the lake, thinking ecstatically, since Yinzhen had no intention of putting them to death, what happened in the middle.In just two months, the eighth master and the ninth master will die at the same time.

Thinking about the fact that there is no major event in the court recently, what is the problem, my mind flashes, and my heart trembles slightly.No longer in the mood to sit here, got up and walked to the residence. Lying on the bed tossing and turning, thinking about that possibility, knowing that it was just my guess, but unable to restrain myself, I couldn't sleep after thinking about it.The sky outside the window was getting brighter, so I got up and got out of bed, only to feel my mind was muddled, top-heavy.When I traced my eyebrows in the mirror, I realized that my face was pale.

Putting on makeup and leaving the door behind closed doors, feeling extremely distressed, but not knowing what to do, and fearing that even if she did, she would not be able to achieve anything on her own, and the result might be even worse. History is doomed in the end.With a pain in his heart, the elegant man who used to walk hand in hand in the snow flashed again in his mind. Stopping, looking up at the rising red sun in the sky, suddenly felt cold.Everything in the past seems to come back to the present, Shisan's ten-year detention, Minghui's self-immolation, Yutan's tragic death, Luwu's departure... His heart twitched, and his heart seemed to stop moving suddenly.His legs were heavy, and he moved to the wall with a sigh of relief, and sat on the ground weakly with his back against the wall. All along, she thought that she had been reborn, that she had got rid of the shadow in Ruoxi's heart, that she could start over with Xiaowen's face.But when everything went back to the original point, she found that she was still the cautious and cautious Ruoxi, the Ruoxi who considered the consequences first and was full of panic and worries. Full of worries and thoughts, I still had no idea in my mind, my mind was muddled, my body seemed to be paralyzed, without a trace of self-awareness, so I fell asleep on my knees. I don't know how long it took, but I felt sore arms and numb legs. I opened my misty eyes and looked up at the dazzling sun.With a deep sigh in his heart, he wanted to get up and go back. "Are you leaving like this?" Shisan's voice sounded beside him, he turned his head to look, and saw Shisan standing against the wall with an indifferent face, seeing me turn around, he smiled and said, "Is it sweeter to sleep here. I gave him a white look, got up and walked forward, and I said as I walked, "I'm getting better at making fun of people." Thirteen followed closely and said, "I've stood guard for you for a long time, do you just thank me like this?" Slowing down, he smiled at him and said, "What's the matter?" Thirteen shook his head and said, "Your brain is still so good, but You should be very concerned about this matter." He stopped and stared at Thirteen closely: "Did Ba Ye reply?" Thirteen sighed heavily and said with a light smile: "I'm still so concerned about myna's affairs, it seems that I can't disclose their news to you in the future, otherwise one day, Brother Huang will blame me." Didn't hear it and wanted to know She didn't know the answer, so she quietly stared into Shisan's eyes and kept silent.Seeing me like this, Shisan was a little flustered, and said anxiously: "Don't look at me like that in the future, I told you anyway, myna agrees to participate." He breathed a sigh of relief and was about to say thanks, but saw Thirteen put away his smile and said with a stern expression: "Some things you know you can't do, it's not wise, and it won't have a good effect. You should try to participate as little as possible, now it is not like before, the emperor has the power of life and death, maybe your words and deeds determine their life and death, I hope you will not take risks, and don't trap the emperor into injustice." Listening carefully to Shisan's every word, after thinking for a while, he knelt down and said to Shisan: "Thank you, Lord Shisan." Shisan hurriedly stepped aside and said, "If it's for myna, you don't have to, he is after all My brother. If it's for you, then there's no need to be like this, that's what I should do, and I can't afford your gift." The already depressed mood became even more depressed, he let out a sigh of relief, and walked forward with a dull expression, seeing that Thirteen was also silent. There were broken footsteps in front of him, and when he looked up, it turned out to be Gao Wuyong.Suddenly remembered that I should be responsible for today, so he stepped forward and said: "Acquainted with forgiveness, Xiaowen will go to answer." Gao Wuyong dared not blame him, he said to Thirteen: "The emperor summoned Miss Xiaowen. I don't know What else does the lord want?" Shisanyi waved his hand and said, "Go." Following Gao Wuyong, he hurried forward. After entering the main hall, Gao Wuyong bowed and walked out. Seeing Yinzhen staring at me, putting aside all his worries, he smiled and said, "Why do you look at me like this?" Helpless, I muttered to myself, not knowing what to do. He stepped forward gently, stood beside him, and said with a smile, "What is it that our emperor can't say?" He looked at me carefully, sighed and smiled, "It's useless to worry." His mind turned After a few turns, I was still puzzled, and I wondered, "What are you worried about?" He remained silent, but with an embarrassed look on his face, he was even more curious in his heart, and was about to speak.He suddenly asked, "Where did you go just now?" I scratched my head and said, "I accidentally fell asleep." I didn't dare to say that I didn't sleep all night, and I didn't dare to say that I just took a nap outside.He looked at me dotingly, chuckled lightly, and looked down at the memorial. Sitting on the chair closest to him, I secretly wondered what his words meant.After thinking for a long time, I still had no idea. I looked up and saw that he was still concentrating on reviewing the memorial, feeling bored, and was about to get up to get some tea.Suddenly he said: "Stay in the garden during the Mid-Autumn Festival, don't enter the palace." Startled, he said: "Why?" He smiled bitterly and said: "I'm afraid you will torture yourself when you come back." In an instant, he understood why he was like this, living in the garden all the time, and even forgot that he had many concubines in the palace.Sitting on the chair blankly, I felt a bit of bitterness in my heart began to surge up, and the warmth on my face was also slipping down bit by bit. In an instant, a trace of regret spread in my heart, and some doubted whether it was right for me to eagerly recognize him.Feeling uneasy, he said angrily: "The emperor is worrying too much, and the servants will not exceed their own duties." Seeing me like this, Yinzhen walked up to me, pulled me up, stared into my eyes and said: "Are you Not to remind me that I should give you a title." In a hurry, tears flowed down indisputably, he broke away from his hand, and said word by word: "Then the emperor prepares a three-foot white silk for the servants." Seeing the painful expression on his face, I couldn't bear it, but still Stubborn is standing, tears are like a spring, he wiped the tears from my cheeks and said: "What should I do with you." After all, he gently embraced me in his arms, struggled a few times, only to feel that he was holding me tighter, so I had no choice but to give up and let him hold me stiffly.Listening to his heavy breathing, his face was a little hot, and he twisted his neck, trying to push his head away. He seemed to know my intentions, chuckled and said, "Are you scared? It's not the first time we've hugged each other like this." His face felt even hotter, a little shy, and he struggled lightly, not knowing if it was himself He didn't intend to leave at all, but he hugged her tightly, but he didn't break away, and the person was still in his arms.The two stood quietly, and stretched out their arms unconsciously to wrap around his waist, only to feel that his body trembled, and the hands that hugged me became tighter, and once again sighed in their hearts that they were useless. After a long time, I suddenly came back to my senses, only to realize that the postures of the two of them were somewhat ambiguous.My mind went blank, I didn't know how to break this embarrassing silence.He suddenly heard light footsteps, and was about to leave in a hurry, but he was still hugging him vigorously, as if he hadn't heard any sound.Gao Wuyong who entered the main hall was surprised, then turned and ran out in a hurry.There was only a "boom" sound outside the hall, followed by Gao Wuyong's muffled hum. Embarrassed, she buried her face in his chest and refused to look up again.Just hearing a chuckle in his ear, he said: "I finally know how to be ashamed." Hearing this, he broke free from the confinement of his arms, covered his face and ran outside.
