Chapter 3 Chapter Three

Not long after Feibai set off, there were rumors of an epidemic in Luzhou from Ziyuan, and as the battle in Dingzhou entered the most critical moment, Xiaofang secretly sent two sad news. The epidemic was so fierce that the seventeen members of the deposed prince's family who were exiled in Luzhou were not spared. All of them were seriously ill and died overnight. Unwilling to live alone, he dressed neatly in the mourning hall, took the bottle of death medicine that he had not taken in the purple garden, and committed suicide. When we heard the news, we all sighed and sighed, but when Emperor Dezong heard the news, he couldn't get any water for a day and fell down heavily. It became a long team to collectively diagnose the emperor's pulse.

On the second day after receiving the news, Shen Changzong came to spread the word of mouth of the prince, all the children of the original surname who had official ranks but stayed at home, all went to Famen Temple to pray, praying for the emperor's dragon body to be healthy, and strictly abide by the family's authority, while All those who have a high-ranking married woman go to the Zichen Hall to wait for the order to take care of them. The emperor was in a coma for a day, and Yuan Feiqing rushed back. After going to Famen Temple to pray for blessings, he immediately knelt outside the hall with a group of imperial relatives and ministers, his eyes were red, and finally woke up the next day. But the body is extremely weak, and the medicine stone is difficult to enter, so I can only drink some clear soup and juice.

On April 27th, Lian's face was fixed, and she brought Jinxiu, Yuan Feiyan and my family members, all dressed according to rank, to Zichen Hall. On that day, Xiaoyu and Weiwei put on the heavy Princess Wishful Crown for me. Xiaoyu saw Weiwei's serious face and worried eyes. This was the first time the little girl came to Yuan's house to show her concern for me. "Sir," Xiaoyu inserted the last strand of hair on my sideburns with a pearl hairpin, and said timidly, "Sir, what will happen to the original family if the court courts the emperor and loses the country? What will happen to the third master and you?"

I smiled at her: "How is nobleman Luoluo in the palace?" "Luoluo's heart is extremely vicious," Xiaoyu snorted softly, "Emperor Wenwu relied heavily on her, and if she disliked anyone, that person would be taken to the Criminal Bureau and tortured to death. On that day, everyone in Dali hated her like a bone. On the day when Emperor Wenwu died, the first thing the emperor did was to send her to prison, and everyone in the court clapped their hands and applauded..." She seemed to realize something, closed her mouth quickly, and looked at me in a daze. I nodded my head, pulled the court clothes on my body, lightened the heavy burden as much as possible, and then said to her: "Don't worry, it won't be more terrifying than Luo Luo."

Xiaoyu immediately put away her contempt, and her face turned pale. I took two steps forward, but I heard her follow me step by step, and asked in a low voice: "If Mr. Bai and Yuan's family fall apart, sir, can we go back to Dali?" Her voice was full of homesickness and a hint of expectation.I couldn't help but sighed deeply. To be honest, I still don't understand why Duan Yuerong sent Xiaoyu to me. Didn't this hurt her? "If this is the ending, sir will definitely find a way to send you back to Lan County safely." I turned my head and smiled at her, "It's just that I want to bury my bones in Xijing with the third master."

Weiwei who was in the room didn't hear our slightly heavy conversation, but hurried over with the imperial belongings and complained in a low voice: "Xiaoyu, hurry up, what are you doing standing here, the concubine Jin will come to pick you up in person. Madame." Xiaoyu didn't ask any more questions, but just sent me out silently, there was already a six-person car waiting under the archway, Xiaoyu just came to Ziyuan, and it was not her turn to enter the palace to accompany her, because Weiwei was served by the prince As an old person, I should serve in the palace, so she helped me into the couch and stood on the soft couch side. When I lifted the couch curtain, I looked back and saw Xiaoyu, who was kneeling in the dust, looking up at me, with big beautiful eyes Feeling helpless.

"My sister's maid looks so beautiful." There was already a stunning woman sitting in the Jiaozi, dressed in a pink palace gown, with two slender plain hands playing with the rose-red long silk on her shoulders, leaning forward. Leaning on the seat, she smiled lightly at me, her pair of eye-catching purple pupils kept looking me up and down, "My sister has finally gained some weight, but the makeup on my face today is not as good as the day before yesterday." I also squinted at her, "You have lost some weight at last, thank you, Empress Jin, for your comment."

She drooped her long eyelashes, covered her mouth with a small smile, turned her side softly, pulled me over, and said coquettishly, "Sister, sit down soon." I smiled and sat next to her.Shen Changzong chanted loudly and walked steadily.I sat beside Jinxiu without saying a word, "You still married him." She lowered her eyes and sighed softly: "He finally got his wish, I can't remember how long I haven't seen him smiling so happily .” Jinxiu took a closer look at me and said calmly, "If my sister hadn't been disfigured, she would be much prettier than when she was young, but she doesn't grow much."

I smiled and looked at her: "You are the same as before, you treat me alone, and you don't talk about others." There was a hint of sarcasm in her smile, as if she was a little proud of me for hearing her sarcasm, and she looked at me very softly. No matter how stable the six-person palace is raised, the azurite peony curtains in front of it are still shaking slightly. When the morning sun is just right, it will jump into a thread or two from time to time, a bit like the pale golden gold in Mochou Lake jumping non-stop. Then pick up the food, occasionally shaking people's eyes.

Jinxiu was silent for a while, then suddenly stretched out her hands from her sleeves, and a ray of light from a treasure flashed my eyes, I closed it and opened it again, only to see that her long fingers like water onions were covered with Wearing a shiny enamel-inlaid gold clipper gemstone nail set, she kept turning her hands with proud eyes, admiring carefully, the gemstones under the sun are shining brightly, and the luster of all kinds of gemstones is shining to the sky with the jumping sunlight Every corner of Gongjiao is filled with extravagance for a while. I heard the story of this pair of nail sets in Xifengyuan. It was a gift from Dezong to Qingjiang for his fifty-fifth birthday. This is not an ordinary pair of nail sets. Before marrying the Yuan family, it was the rare treasure that was the most used in the palace. At first, everyone in Ziyuan thought that King Wu'an would give it to his beloved daughter or to the royal family, not to mention that Yuan Feiyan used enamel finger cots as a protection Sharp weapon, even Na Lian always protects his jade fingers diligently. Both of them have known this ornament for a long time. On the contrary, Jinxiu was born as a warrior. After saying that there was such a treasure in the gift list, this nail set was accidentally brought to Jinxiu's bald hands, so Jinxiu started to grow nails for this treasure.As a result, Jinxiu became more popular among the Ziyuan, and Lian Shi and Yuan Feiyan hated Jinxiu even more.

I was thinking wildly, and I don't know that Jinxiu can neglect sword practice because of this gorgeous artifact.But she suddenly lowered her slender fingers, and slid slowly on the hem of my skirt, and finally slid on the big lotus root, and gradually increased her strength. My thigh felt a slight sharp pain, and her smile gradually faded. Feeling cold, he mechanically said the beautiful meaning of the embroidery pattern: "You get lotus root because of lotus? You get lotus root because of lotus?!" The voice seemed to be humming vigorously from the nose, full of hatred. There was also pain in my heart, so I smiled and gently put her hand up, pretending to be relaxed and said: "It hurts, I don't play anymore, it will really scratch the court clothes, you will compensate me for the small matter, and you will get purple." It's a big deal if Chen Dian is too late to wait." Jinxiu gracefully withdrew her hand, turned her face away coldly, I couldn't see her face clearly, I could only intuit that she must be feeling very uncomfortable, but in fact, I have never felt better. Jiaozi swayed mechanically, I gradually fell asleep, and suddenly felt a warm breath rushing towards my ears, and I heard Jinxiu's cold voice muttering in my ear: "It's a pity that his health is not good, he can't live Too long!" "Can I sincerely ask you to stop cursing my husband's health?" I opened my eyes, and as she was slowly moving away from me, I raised my eyebrows at her, "If you are in an ordinary family, he is your relative." Brother-in-law, half brother." "Does marrying him make you so happy?" She ignored my request and continued to tease viciously: "Everyone here is a wolf, you are a sheep, and you don't have Duan Yuerong to back you up. What did he get?" I gritted my teeth again and again, and my veins became violent again and again. I checked repeatedly whether this was the girl I loved the most, and finally smiled with a green face: "I am Hua Mujin, not an ordinary sheep. I still remember when I was a child. Have you ever told you about Big Big Wolf and Pleasant Goat, no matter how ruthless Big Big Wolf is, he will still lose to that sheep in the end." Jinxiu held her swan-like neck high, and slanted her delicate winking eyes: "Do you think that if King Xuan becomes the crown prince, he will win? With the power of the royal family like the princess concubine, how can King Xuan care about him? Sooner or later, he will die like a dog." Peng, you came back just to collect his body?" Another ray of sunlight came in, flashed my hurt eyes, and involuntarily lowered its head like a stray cat and shed tears, blurring the beautiful look in the eyes, but my mind was very clear, an indescribable indescribable elimination The more inescapable sadness made a deep hole in my heart, why my sister has become so hideous now. "I know you want to trick me, so I'll tell you, I didn't come back to collect his body." I wiped away my tears, raised my foot, and stepped on the teak coffee table next to me, like a mountain sculpture, He couldn't help but said viciously: "I'm here to collect the corpses of his enemies." "If his enemy is my younger sister, does my elder sister really want to collect my younger sister's body?" Jinxiu quickly answered my words, and her wide-open purple pupils looked at me with tears of despair, and I moved away abruptly. Looking forward, he said with difficulty: "No matter in the past, in the future or now, my sister, I don't want my sister to be my sister's enemy, so I beg my sister to let my sister and the third master go. Since my sister also knows that he will not live long, then let my sister Accompanying him to spend the last good time, even this, is my sister going to force her sister hard?" Jinxiu suddenly burst out laughing, the flowers trembled wildly, I looked at her in surprise, she suddenly stopped smiling, those cold purple pupils stared at my eyes sharply, coldly Ru Bingshan said: "Then if the third master refuses to let my sister and Feiliu go, what will happen to my sister? Will my sister also collect the bodies for my sister and Feiliu's enemies?" She held my shoulders tightly, and said with hatred: "You big fool, why did you listen to his sweet words and rush back, give up your daughter, give up your husband, give up the comfortable life of a wealthy country, for him you Give up everything, you are collecting your own body, you know?" For a moment, her purple pupils burst into tears like rain, ruining her delicate makeup, and the arrogance all over her face collapsed. That beautiful face was filled with sadness, and I was instantly heartbroken.
