Chapter 11 Chapter Eleven
All the wedding decorations in Zhang'e Palace have been taken off, as if nothing happened, no one mentions Jing, and no one mentions Xiaoyao's disappearance.Xiaoyao's life became the same as before, whether it was the Yellow Emperor or Zhuanxu, they all acted the same, but Xiaoyao knew it was different—when she looked at the sky, even if she stared at it all day long, she would not Then I saw a white crane coming with Jing on its back.
There are more guards on the top of Xiaoyue, Zhuanxu must have said something to Zuo Er, no matter where Xiaoyao goes, Zuo Er will follow.He was so quiet that it seemed that he didn't exist. At first, Xiaoyao often thought that he had left, but when she raised her voice and called out, "Left ear!" Maybe a head would poke out from the shade of the trees above her head, or maybe a head would appear in the weeds by the roadside. There was a reply, maybe a piece of sleeve would emerge from the shadow of the pillar beside him, his left ear was like a wild beast in the forest, and he always had a way to hide himself in the surrounding environment.
Xiaoyao asked about the Tu Shan family, Zhuan Xu said: "It's a bit confusing. Tu Shanzhen is the legitimate heir, but those elders also know that Tu Shanzhen is not Jing's child, and they are all playing tricks for their own selfish reasons. In the eyes of the clan, the Tu Shan family is a big piece of fat, and everyone wants to eat it, wishing that the Tu Shan family would become more chaotic, so they are desperately adding to the chaos."
Regarding matters related to Jing, Zhuanxu never took the initiative to bring it up, but when Xiaoyao brought it up, he never evaded it.His attitude is probably like that of a doctor treating a patient's wound. He neither stimulates nor covers it up. When necessary, even knowing that Xiaoyao will be in pain, he will do what he should do like cutting off carrion. .For example, he knew that Xiaoyao was very jealous of people saying that Jing was dead in front of her, but when Zhuanxu had to say something, he never deliberately avoided it.
Xiaoyao asked Zhuanxu: "Is it convenient for you to intervene in Tu Shan's affairs?"
"Of course it's inconvenient! But is it convenient for those clans? Aren't everyone secretly interfering?"
Xiao Yao said: "As long as I'm alive, I don't want to see the Tu Shan family collapse."
Zhuanxu asked, "What do you want to do?"
Xiao Yao said: "Although Tu Shanzhen is not Jing's child, he is also a Tu Shan clan with pure blood. I think Mrs. Tu Shantai will not object to letting him succeed the patriarch."
Zhuanxu asked: "His parents killed Jing, don't you hate him?"
Xiaoyao was stunned by Zhuanxu's words for a while, and then said: "If Huang is still alive, I will cut him into pieces, but Tu Shanzhen is just a child, and he has done nothing wrong. You and I are both young People without parents know the difficulties of orphans, and he has such a disgraceful background. It is not easy for him to live. If he cannot be established as the future patriarch, I am afraid that someone will get rid of him. He is a legitimate successor. I don't want Jing to come back one day and never see him again."
Zhuanxu was stunned into silence by Xiaoyao's words, and said with a smile, "Well, let Tu Shanzhen be the head of the Tushan clan."
Xiao Yao said, "Thank you."
Zhuanxu tapped Xiaoyao on the forehead: "You are polite to me? Do you want to ask for a beating?"
Xiao Yao rubbed her forehead and said, "Don't bully others just because you have spiritual power now, it's not that I can't deal with you."
"Then you come!" Zhuan Xu was very arrogant.
Xiaoyao was depressed, she couldn't get up the energy to toss those drugs and poisons recently.
Zhuanxu rubbed Xiaoyao's head: "You will get sick if you stay on top of Xiaoyue all day long." The last time when she was in pain because of Jing, Xiaoyao still knew that she would find something to do for herself and distract her mind, but this time For once she seemed to care nothing.
"You have sent so many guards to follow me, do I want to run around the streets with a group of guards? Besides, I haven't been anywhere near Shennong Mountain?" Xiaoyao smiled bitterly, "This is the disadvantage of living too long. After living, I have seen everything.”
Zhuanxu said: "Why don't you go to Zhiyi and open a medical clinic, so you can save time and think wildly all day long."
"You don't mind letting me run around? I don't want the medical hall to be famous not because of my medical skills, but because there are a bunch of guards in the medical hall."
"I don't worry about letting you run around, but I'm even more worried about you going on like this. I will find a way to deal with the guards, so you don't have to worry about it. Xiaoyao, since you are idle, why don't you use your medical skills to relieve others? Painful. Who was it that impassionedly said that you are learning medicine with the heart of a doctor?"
Xiaoyao remembered that Jing once discussed with her to open a clinic in Qingqiu City.Xiaoyao smiled more and more, and said to Zhuanxu: "Okay, I'll go to Zhiyi City to open a clinic." It's just right to find out who is going to kill her, so she stays on the top of Xiaoyue all day and is tightly protected In fact, others can't touch her at all, and she can't touch others.
Xiaoyao used her private money to open a medical clinic in Zhiyi City.
For the convenience of going in and out, she wore men's clothing and dressed up as a man.Apart from Miao Pu and Zuo Er, there are only two teenagers hired by Xiaoyao in the clinic.Xiaoyao had tried them out on purpose, and they were really ordinary people, and definitely not impersonated by experts sent by Zhuanxu.
The business of the medical center is different from other businesses. Customers recognize doctors very much. Because Xiaoyao is not well-known, the business is not good. Xiaoyao is not in a hurry. She teaches two teenagers to identify herbs, and also begins to teach Zuo Er and Miao Pu how to read.
Miao Pu has been with her for many years, and has already learned some characters in pieces. Sometimes Xiaoyao is busy picking up herbs, so she asks Miao Pu to teach her left ear to read, and she can always hear Miao Pu's voice scolding her left ear. .Miao Pu knows very well how powerful the pale and thin left ear is. Every time Xiaoyao asks her to take care of the left ear, she always likes to roll her eyes and say, "Who dares to bully him?" But she doesn't know that she has been bullying the left ear. Ear.
Because Xiaoyao's medical skills are really good, anyone who has come here once by chance will know that this young man who smiles every day is really a cure for illness.Her consultation fee is not cheap, and the available medicinal materials are very common, and those expensive medicinal materials are rarely used. After all, the consultation fee is a one-time fee, and the cost of collecting medicine is the bulk. After conversion, it is not expensive.Gradually, people nearby would come to Xiaoyao when they had a headache, and Xiaoyao's medical center began to benefit.
Xiaoyao said to Zuo Er and Miao Pu: "I can finally afford you."
Miao Pu couldn't understand why Xiaoyao was so obsessed with the money he earned, but Zuo Er smiled reassuringly, and no longer worried that he would be hungry. In Zuo Er's eyes, only Xiaoyao's money is reliable, and everyone else's Unreliable.
Apart from worrying about the hunger, Zuo Er's bigger worry is Xiaoyao's safety. In his eyes, the guards sent by Zhuanxu are not his own, and they are not reliable.Zuo Er asked Xiao Yao: "Why don't you find out who wants to kill you?"
Xiao Yao said, "We're already investigating!"
Zuo Er looked at Xiaoyao in confusion, and Xiao Yao laughed, not sure if it was because Zuo Er was with Miao Po, who had a particularly rich facial expression all day long, but now Zuo Er also had a little more expression, starting to look more and more like Alone.
Xiao Yao said: "That person wanted to kill me, if it wasn't for profit, then he hated me very much. If there is a person who hates you very much, he wants you to disappear immediately, but instead of disappearing, you dangle in front of him all day long. The life is still very nourishing, what do you think that person will do?"
Zuo Er said happily: "I will kill him."
Xiaoyao patted Zuo Er's shoulder speechlessly, comforting herself, it doesn't matter, keep working hard, and Zuo Er will get rid of this mantra sooner or later.
Miao Pu said disdainfully: "That person didn't harm Miss. He won't be successful. Seeing Miss come back, he will definitely sleep and eat. Pay close attention to Miss. The more nourishing Miss's life, the more uncomfortable he is. Fear and hatred, maybe he He will try to harm Miss again. As long as he acts, we will know who he is." Miao Pu raised his chin and looked proudly at his left ear, "This is what His Majesty said to stop with silence, a barbarian like you , will not understand."
The left ear, as usual, was silent and expressionless.But Xiaoyao believed that Zuo Er understood that Miao Pu dared to be so arrogant in front of him after watching him make a move, and Miao Pu never regarded him as a monster.Xiao Yao coughed slightly, lowered her voice, and said to Miao Pu: "I don't want to tell His Majesty about this yet."
Miao Pu was silent for a moment, then said firmly: "I understand." The last time Xiaoyao argued with His Majesty about her life and death, she understood that between the old master and the new master, she can only be loyal to one.
Xiaoyao clapped her hands and said with a smile, "Okay, I'm going to work, let's wait and see how long that person can last."
One afternoon, when Xiaoyao was treating patients, Fenglong walked in.Xiaoyao smiled at him and continued talking to the patient.Miao Pu stepped forward to welcome Feng Leong to sit down.The left ear seemed numb, but he adjusted his body to a position where he could launch an attack instantly.
After Feng Leong had finished drinking a bowl of tea, Xiao Yao saw the patient.When the patient left, he complained that the consultation fee was a bit expensive while walking, Xiaoyao, with the attitude of a businessman, listened with a smile, did not refute, and would never lower the price.
Feng Long said: "If these patients know that the doctor who sees them is a great doctor who compiled "Huangdi Foreign Classics" and "Huangdi Internal Classics", they will definitely not suspect Jin Gao." Since the completion of medical books, doctors all over the world have Praise, although most people don't know what this set of medical books is about, they all know that it is a better and more comprehensive medical book, which can save many lives. Incomparably, a prescription is worth thousands of gold, and few people can get it.
Xiao Yao said: "His illness is not an intractable disease, and ordinary doctors can take care of it. My consultation fee is indeed a bit high. He thinks it is expensive, so just don't come to me next time."
Feng Leong asked curiously: "If it's not about doing good deeds, why bother to open a medical clinic incognito? If it's about doing good deeds, why bother to set the price of Zhenjin too high?"
Xiaoyao said straightforwardly: "My medical skills are so good, if the consultation fee is cheap, everyone will come to see me, can I bear it? Besides, I don't need to rely on medical skills to support my family, but other doctors need , I can’t do good deeds for myself and cut off the livelihood of other doctors. It’s better to do what I want, to do business honestly, everyone has money to make, and everyone lives their lives honestly.”
Feng Leong laughed, Xiaoyao's thoughts are always different from others, he can never grasp her thoughts, maybe the only person who can really understand Xiaoyao is Jing, but... Feng Leong's smile became bitter, he said: "Tu The elders of the Shan family agreed to let Tu Shanzhen succeed the patriarch. The nine elders will teach and assist him together. Before he can independently manage affairs, the affairs of the Tu Shan family will be discussed and decided by all the elders. I think, with the secret help of His Majesty , the Tu Shan family can survive until Tu Shanzhen grows up."
Zhuanxu had already told her these things, Xiaoyao didn't believe that Feng Leong's sudden appearance was to tell her these things, she looked at Feng Leong silently.
Feng Leong said: "Today, I got together with some old friends of the Chao family and the Jiang family. They used to be obsequious to me, but now they follow what I say. I find it very boring. I found a I left the meeting halfway with an excuse. I just wandered around and didn't intend to come in, and I didn't know why I turned in. I'm very sad about Jing. "
Xiao Yao lowered her eyes.
Feng Leong said: "When I was young, I always looked forward to growing up. I felt that when I grew up, I could be free and do many things, but now I always think of my childhood. At that time, Jing and Huang were so good that I was jealous. Both me and Huang were very active. , but can’t play together. Every time I was scolded by my master, I would go to Jing’s room and talk to him about my grand ambitions. There is also Chang, the dog-headed military adviser, who always confronts me, and goes to Jing’s room every time. Play, as long as Jing is not around, we will always fight... We are a group of brats fighting, and we have become like this before we know it. When Chang talks to me now, he always smiles kindly and politely, as if I were His client, Hou died, and Jing was gone. All of a sudden, I found that I couldn’t find a friend who would eat, drink, and talk nonsense together.” Feng Long smiled wryly, “I don’t know either. Why I told you this is probably because I used to go to Jing whenever I was troubled and talk nonsense with him. I even talked nonsense to you today, so don't be annoyed. "
Xiao Yao said gently: "It's just lending a pair of ears, it won't be annoying."
Feng Leong stood up and said, "I'm leaving. You... don't be too sad, the days are still long, and Jing definitely hopes you have a good life." After letting him escape from marriage, he thought that he would never forgive her, wishing that her life would be miserable and lonely.But he didn't expect that seeing her like this now would make him feel uncomfortable.
Xiao Yao escorted Feng Long to the door, and casually asked, "How do you know that I opened a clinic here?"
"The queen just mentioned something casually." In fact, Xinyue didn't just mention one thing casually, but said many things in disgust.This is also something Feng Leong doesn't understand. Ever since Xiaoyao escaped from marriage, Xinyue hated Xiaoyao very much. He hated it so much, once even said that Xiaoyao was a slut like her mother, and cursed that Xiaoyao would die like her mother sooner or later.Fenglong reprimanded Xinyue sharply, but Xinyue flung her sleeves and left.Feng Leong had nothing to do, Xin Yue was now the queen, and it was no longer possible for him to control her like before.Although the two are twin brothers and sisters, but one is from the Chishui family and the other is from the Shennong family. One grew up in Chishui and the other in Xuanyuan City. He and Xinyue have never been as close as Huang and Jing.Fortunately, Xinyue still behaved decently on the surface, and did not show her hatred for Xiaoyao.
Xiaoyao returned to the medical hall, sat quietly, and asked herself, is it Xinyue?why?Feng Leong said just now that he didn't understand why old friends died or broke up, even if they met each other, they were so polite and perfunctory, and Xiao Yao didn't understand why. As a cover, we used to worry about Zhuanxu...why do we have to put her to death today?
Zuo Er asked: "Miao Pu said he was Chishui Fenglong, is it him?"
Xiao Yao said: "If it wasn't for him being too good at acting, I think...it shouldn't be him."
"Shen Nong Xinyue? I'll kill her."
"Stop!" Xiaoyao grabbed her left ear and said sternly, "You can't do anything without my order, understand? Otherwise, I won't want you to be a bodyguard!"
On Zuo Er's dull and indifferent face, there seemed to be a flash of grievance and bewilderment, and he said sullenly, "Understood."
Xiaoyao didn't know why she thought of Xiangliu being wronged, it was funny and soft-hearted, she softened her voice: "I will handle this matter well, don't keep thinking about killing people, guards are different from killers. "
Zuo Er said stubbornly: "Kill her and protect you."
Xiaoyao had a headache and raised her voice, "Miao Pu, please explain to Zuo Er the difference between a killer and a guard."
Miao Pu ran to Zuo Er with a smile on her face, and started her twittering.
Before Zhuanxu married Xinyue, Xiaoyao left Zijinding.From then on, Xiaoyao never went to Zijinding again.
Xiaoyao stood in front of the Zijin Palace again, and no one in the palace knew her.Xiaoyao took out the token of the Yellow Emperor, and under the shocked eyes of the palace people, Miao Pu said to the palace people, "It's Miss Xiling from Xiaoyuedingzhang E Palace."
Everyone in the palace had heard about this Miss Xiling who had a strange life experience and ill-fated fate, and even heard that His Majesty the Yellow Emperor and the Black Emperor loved her very much.Now seeing the token that looked like the Yellow Emperor's presence, they confirmed that the rumors were correct, they opened the gate of the palace and respectfully invited Xiaoyao in.
When Xiaoyao left, Zijin Palace was still somewhat desolate.Now it has a completely new look, every corridor and column are brightly patterned, and every plant and tree has been carefully taken care of.There was an endless stream of people coming and going from the palace, but they were orderly and silent, so that those who walked in it felt a kind of silent coercion, unknowingly they lightened their steps, held their breath, and restrained their eyes, lest someone who would not Be careful to offend Tianyan.
Xiaoyao smiled slightly, it turned out that this was everything Xinyue wanted.
Today is March 3rd, the Shangsi Festival in the Central Plains.During the day, people will go to the river to bathe, offer sacrifices and pray for blessings, and at night, they will meet in a place full of spring, plant willows and enjoy flowers.The Shangsi Festival is very important to the Central Plains people, which is equivalent to Gaoxin's May 5th, the Lantern Festival.
Zhuanxu treats all ethnic groups equally, not only retaining the major festivals of Xuanyuan, but also the major festivals of Central Plains and Gaoxin. Every festival, Zhuanxu requires officials to celebrate according to the customs of each ethnic group. At will.
The concubines in the Zijin Palace come from all ethnic groups in the wilderness, and they celebrate every festival, but the queen is from the Central Plains, so the palace will be extremely lively on the Shangsi Festival.For the evening banquet, Zhuanxu went to see Huangdi and Xiaoyao early in the afternoon, and then returned to Zijinding.
Under the guidance of the palace servants, Xiaoyao walked into the Hundred Gardens.
In the garden, shaded by clear streams, verdant forests, luxuriant luxuriant trees, and blooming flowers, there are trails extending in all directions, connected with well-arranged pavilions and arch bridges, and every step is full of beautiful scenery.By the stream and among the pavilions, there were many concubines sitting here and there, and several women were sitting under the shade of flowers. In the middle was a dragon and phoenix couch about a foot high. Zhuanxu and Xinyue sat on it, but Zhuanxu leaned on his back, very casually, but Xinyue sat upright, very respectful.Everyone was listening to a few maids playing music, silk and bamboo orchestra, colorful sleeves fluttering, it looked like a bunch of flowers, too beautiful to behold.
After the melody was finished, there was applause, and a concubine Xiaoyao didn't know said, "It's good, but it's far worse than the queen."
Concubine Jiang laughed and said: "I heard that Your Majesty and the Queen met for the first time on Chishui Lake. It happened that there was a heavy fog that night. Your Majesty heard the Queen's zither music, and the flute and flute played together. They have not met, but they have already played a piece of qin and flute. How about Your Majesty and the Queen will play a ensemble on the qin and flute tonight! Back then when they played together, they didn't know each other, but now when they play together, they are already husband and wife, it's really destined to be married."
Some concubines followed suit, begging Zhuanxu and Xinyue to agree; some concubines just smiled and watched coldly; two or three curled their lips in disdain.Xiaoyao asked Miao Pu to restrain the palace servants and not to play the report yet, she stood under the shade of the flowers and watched quietly.
Xinyue's brows and eyes seemed angry and joyful, three parts annoyed, three parts ashamed, four parts happy, obviously willing to play the piano, but Zhuan Xu kept smiling and didn't speak.The booing concubine couldn't figure out what Zhuanxu was thinking, and his voice gradually became quieter. The concubine who watched coldly smiled secretly in his heart, and the smile on his lips gradually deepened.
Xinyue glanced around, turned her face to Zhuanxu, and shouted shyly, "Your Majesty, tell them to stop making trouble, and one or two made fun of me for being a piano girl!"
Zhuanxu said with a smile: "Today is the festival, since they want you to be a qin girl, you can do it once, and I will accompany you, who dares to make fun of you?"
The changes in the expressions of the concubines were wonderful, Xinyue's brows were full of smiles, and the clever Gong'e had already arranged the qin and presented the flute to Zhuanxu.
Xinyue lightly moved her lotus steps and sat down in front of the qin. Zhuan Xu took the xiao and walked to the edge of the stream.Xinyue plucked the strings first, playing the piece that she and Zhuanxu played together when they met on Chishui Lake that day, and Zhuanxu played the flute to complement each other.There is silence all around, only the sound of the qin and flute can be heard.One is unrestrained and flying, one is gentle and lingering; one is open and closed, and the other is cautious;
But Xiaoyao thought of the proud, self-confident and casual piano sound on Chishui Lake, she dared to compete with the flute sound, dared to rush to press, and dared to crack the strings in anger.Xinyue actually gave up that kind of piano sound and chose this kind of piano sound, Xiaoyao couldn't help but sigh.The sighs were not loud, but the Hei Emperor and the Queen were playing the piece together, and everyone held their breath, for fear that they would not be attentive enough, or that they would not appear respectful enough.In the silence and solemnity, Xiaoyao's sigh was very inattentive and disrespectful.Both Zhuanxu and Xinyue frowned slightly, with displeasure in their eyes, and glanced at the shade of the flowers.
Xiaoyao also knew that she had been rude, and she lamented in her heart that she was really uneducated and could not be on a big scene.She took a few steps forward and bowed to Zhuanxu and Xinyue in salute. It was a respectful gesture of pleading guilty, but when she raised her head, Xiaoyao thought that only Zhuanxu and Xinyue could see her face. It was making faces at Zhuanxu and Xinyue, without any respect, let alone an apology.Xinyue's hands trembled, the strings of the qin broke, and the sound of the qin stopped suddenly.Just when Zhuanxu saw Xiaoyao, he forgot to play the flute in astonishment, as if the two of them stopped at the same time, neither of them seemed abrupt.
Zhuanxu collected himself and asked, "Why are you here?"
Xiaoyao lowered her head and said very respectfully: "The cherries planted by my grandfather ripen ahead of schedule, knowing that His Majesty and all the empresses are celebrating the festival, I specially ordered me to send some over."
Miao Pu stepped forward and offered a basket of cherries, the servant took it and bowed to obey, Zhuanxu said: "It's my grandfather's wish, let's taste it all!"
The servant hurriedly distributed a small plate of cherries to each empress.
Since the Yellow Emperor avoided living in Xiaoyueding, he has never been to Zijinding, and he has never summoned any of his granddaughters-in-law, only the queen can occasionally visit.All the concubines were very pleasantly surprised when they got this unexpected reward, they all had witty words, praised the delicious food, thanked the Yellow Emperor, and also thanked Xiaoyao who brought the cherries.Of course, the most important thing is to make Zhuan Xu pay attention to him when doing all this.All of a sudden, the garden was full of warblers and swallows babbling and babbling. Their lips were soft, their faces were delicate, their eyes were like water, and their waists were like willows.
Xiaoyao narrowed her eyes slightly, and smiled to see that everyone was empty.Zhuanxu had a warm smile on his face, but he felt uneasy, as if he had done something he shouldn't have done, and Xiaoyao happened to catch him.He glanced at the servant beside him, and the servant said: "It's getting late, and it's time for all the ladies to rest."
All the concubines were not surprised, the Hei Emperor seemed easy-going, but in fact he was very cold, and had no interest in banquets and gatherings.Every banquet, either come early and leave early, or come late, let the banquet end early, and never have the patience to play from beginning to end.
All the concubines left their luggage, and Zhuan Xu handed the flute he had just used to Xinyue, and said with a smile, "Please take it away, Queen." Emotions that should be revealed are hidden.
Xinyue was full of smiles, her hands were fruitless, she just felt her breath was stuck in her heart, it was so bitter that she almost wanted to shout: Are you blind?Can't see it?He's not pampering me at all!He just used me to let you ignore it. As soon as Xiaoyao came, he disbanded the banquet, so that when you think of this banquet in the future, you forget about other things, and you will only think of him and me playing the piano and flute at the banquet. Present flute.You blind people!What he protects is the person he has been hiding all along!If you want to be jealous, if you want to hate, you should also aim at her!But Xinyue didn't dare to say anything, she could only bow down and salute, and after thanking His Majesty, she retreated with perfect etiquette.
Xin Yue knew that she shouldn't look again, but she couldn't restrain herself. She deliberately lagged behind everyone, went around in a circle, and walked back on the pretext of looking for the dropped sachet.When she got close to the shade of flowers, Xinyue didn't dare to get any closer. She couldn't hear what Zhuanxu and Xiaoyao said, but could only see the two walking side by side by the stream.
Xinyue carefully recalled the past, since she married Zijinding, she never walked side by side with Zhuanxu.No matter at any time, she would be a step behind Zhuanxu, she couldn't remember whether it was Zhuanxu's majesty, or her not daring to overstep, which made her do this, anyway, it had become a habit unconsciously.Not even the queen dared to stand side by side with Zhuanxu, let alone the other concubines.Probably because there was no woman on the entire Zijin Summit who could really stand beside Zhuanxu, Xinyue never felt that there was any problem with her being "a step behind".But tonight, she suddenly discovered that Zhuan Xu could walk side by side with others.
Zhuanxu walked calmly and calmly, but Xiaoyao sometimes walked on the grass and sometimes jumped on the rocks, but no matter whether Xiaoyao was fast or slow, Zhuanxu was always by her side.Xiaoyao stepped on a moss-covered stone, her feet slipped, her body wobbled, and she was about to fall into the stream, Zhuanxu hurriedly reached out to grab her.The person didn't fall into the stream, but one foot stepped in the stream, and the skirt was wet.Zhuanxu squatted down naturally, lifted Xiaoyao's skirt, and helped Xiaoyao wring out the wet skirt.
Xiaoyao bent down, supported Zhuanxu's shoulder with one hand, and took off the wet shoe with the other. When Zhuanxu got up, he took it and helped Xiaoyao carry it.Xiaoyao pointed to the stream.Not knowing what he was talking about, Zhuan Xu shook his head to express his disagreement.His mount flew over, Zhuan Xu dragged Xiaoyao onto the mount, and flew towards Xiaoyueding.
Xinyue, who was peeping in the dark, wanted to leave, but she didn't have any strength in her body. She barely took two steps, staggered, and knelt on the ground in embarrassment.Xinyue felt that the feeling at this moment was like when she was a child and suddenly learned that she was not an honorable lady with infinite beauty, but just a proton who might be killed at any time. She was cold and afraid, and she seemed to have everything. Be careful, everything you have will disappear in an instant.
In the past, she thought that Zhuan Xu was romantic and affectionate, and worried that she would have to endure him for the rest of her life. He often replaced the new man with the old man, but after she got married to Zijinding, she realized that Zhuan Xu was actually very indifferent to women. But he is not tender to other women.As long as she doesn't offend him, he has always given her face, and has always given her the queen's respect in front of all the concubines.She thought Zhuanxu was so ruthless, so she felt relieved, but when she hid that guess in her heart, she became more and more afraid every day. She was afraid that Zhuanxu was neither sentimental nor ruthless, he just gave everything to one person. .
Zhuanxu protected Xiaoyao too tightly, she didn't see much after observing for decades, but for decades, Zhuanxu went to see Xiaoyao every day, rain or shine; he allowed Xiaoyao to smash his face, not only did he not get angry , but when he touched the scar, his eyes were full of pain and longing; he was willing to twist skirt and carry shoes for Xiaoyao...
The women on Zijinding fought back and forth, but they didn't know that the woman Zhuanxu had been with the longest was not any woman on Zijinding, but Xiaoyao.As a queen, she would see Zhuanxu at most once a month, but only Xiaoyao could see Zhuanxu every day.
Back then, when she married Zhuanxu, Xinyue thought she was unique.Her confidence didn't come from herself, but from Shennong's Chishui clan and the entire Central Plains behind her, but then there was Anian.What she has, Anian has, even more than her.Anian married Zhuanxu with the entire empire as a dowry, and everyone persuaded her to accept it, even her elder brother went to Wushen Mountain to propose marriage to Baidi, and helped Zhuanxu ask for Anian to be queen.She had to accept it because she couldn't fight it.
For A Nian, Xinyue is angry and jealous, but she is not afraid. A Nian will live in Wushen Mountain forever. She only has the name of queen, and has no real power as queen, so she is not a threat to her.Sometimes, Xinyue would think disdainfully in her heart, just like Anian, even if she was given the real power of the queen, how could she do it?Baidi also considered his daughter to have the foresight to prevent her from being ashamed.But now, Xinyue was really scared.With the unification of Tianhuang, the stability of Zhuanxu's throne, and Zhuanxu's deliberate support of other Zhongyuan clans, the Shennong clan has become less and less important to Zhuanxu... Can Zhuanxu allow Xiaoyao to hurt his body? He can twist skirts and carry shoes for Xiaoyao, but if Xiaoyao asks for it, will Zhuanxu not give it?Don't talk about favors at that time, I'm afraid that even her queen's position will be in jeopardy.
Xinyue thought sadly, even without Xiaoyao asking for it, just tonight, as long as Xiaoyao appeared, Zhuanxu would let all the concubines leave, what he wanted to give Xiaoyao was his all!Xinyue knew very well that her idea of getting rid of Xiaoyao was terrible. If Zhuanxu found out, the consequences would be unimaginable, but wouldn't the consequences be terrible if she didn't get rid of Xiaoyao?When that day really comes, it will be even scarier than it is now!
Xiaoyao has been waiting for Xinyue's response since she went to Zijinxu on the Shangsi Festival, but Xinyue never responded.Xiaoyao is confused, isn't it Xinyue?She was severely reprimanded by Zhuanxu when she went to Zijinding, so was she scolded for nothing?
At the end of April, Zhuanxu went to Gaoxin for inspection, and before leaving, he told Xiaoyao not to go to the clinic for the time being, until he came back, and if he got bored, he would go around Shennong Mountain.
Xiaoyao promised him that he would be careful and ensured that the bureau would not leave Shennong Mountain, so Zhuanxu left with confidence.
Xiao Yao received an invitation from Concubine Li Rong, inviting her to put lanterns in Shennong Mountain on the fifth day of May.A drawing was included in the invitation, explaining how to make the lantern. Unlike Gao Xin's lantern, the mouth of the lantern was on the top, and Concubine Li Rong had indicated that the mouth of the lantern must be on the bottom.In the invitation post, it was specifically stated that it was very fun and special, so please Xiaoyao come and see it.
Concubine Li Rong is a neutral force on Zijinding. She neither opposes nor supports the queen. She will definitely not help Xinyue with anything. On the contrary, because of the relationship between Li Rongchang and Jing, Xiaoyao and Concubine Li Rong treat each other very well. Friendly, but no close acquaintance, Xiaoyao didn't understand why he suddenly received her post.
Xiaoyao thought about it and decided to take a look. It happened that she hadn't celebrated the Lantern Festival for many years.
In the evening, Xiaoyao set off with Zuo Er and Miao Pu.
Zuo Er hadn't learned how to control the Tianma yet, and Miao Pu sneered at him again, but the ridicule was nothing but the ridicule, Miao Pu taught him very carefully.
Sitting in the cloud chariot, Xiao Yao watched the two of them sitting side by side.The left ear tried to hold the rein, but the force was too strong, and the Tianma neighed in displeasure, causing the cloud chariot to jerk a few times.While mocking, Miao Pu held Zuo Er's hand and taught him how to control it.As the Tianma galloped, Miao Pu unintentionally half leaned into his left ear.
Xiaoyao was behind them, and she could clearly see the tension in her left ear and shoulder, and the only remaining ear turned red.Xiaoyao couldn't help laughing secretly, who would have thought that the cold and vicious left ear would be shy and nervous?Bitterness gradually filled Xiaoyao's heart, her Jing was once so clumsy and dull.Back then, Xiaoyao was often so angry with him that he didn't like him enough, didn't care enough, and even thought of cutting off that attachment.But after experiencing everything, looking back and looking back, I realized how precious that shyness, restraint, clumsiness and dullness were, and that was the original and truest heart.
In the nervous and clumsy driving of the left ear, the cloud chariot flew to the place agreed by Concubine Li Rong.
It's really a unique scene. A huge square stone seemed to fly from the sky and landed on the top of a small mountain. It looked trembling, as if it would be blown down by a strong wind, but it never did. fall down.At this time, there were already many people on the square stones covered by clouds and mist, chatting and laughing in twos and threes, it was very lively.
Xiaoyao's cloud chariot landed, and the other cloud chariot also slowly descended. Xiaoyao and Xinyue got off the cloud chariot one after the other, and Concubine Li Rong came up to welcome her. The three greeted each other politely.
Xinyue looked around and said with a smile, "How did you find such a weird place?"
Concubine Li Rong laughed loudly: "Shen Nong Mountain stretches for thousands of miles. Even if you live on this mountain, you may not go to many places in your life. I wandered around the mountain in my free time and found it by accident. It's a pity that the queen is not free, otherwise There are lots of quirky and interesting places."
Concubine Li Rong's words seemed free and easy, but in reality she was lonely. Xinyue smiled reservedly, without answering, and asked, "Your post said to put on lanterns, but I have prepared several lanterns, but where is the water? There is no water, how can I?" Light up?"
Gaoxin people live by water, love water and respect water. Lantern Festival is to put lanterns into the river and let the water flow to carry away the good wishes. The more rivers and lakes there are, the more likely it is to hear their prayers and make them come true.Every year during the Lantern Festival, tens of thousands of lanterns are spread all over the lakes and rivers, just like the stars falling into the world. Before they got married, the concubines also went to Gaoxin with their female companions and let off lanterns.
Concubine Li Rong said with a smile: "Shennong Mountain is different from Wushen Mountain after all. Only a group of us set off lights by the river, and all the lights disappeared after a while. There was nothing to see or play, so I thought of a very unique place to put lights on." lamp."
"How unique?"
Concubine Rong nodded to the maid who was not far away, and the maid bowed and left.Concubine Li Rong pointed around to Xinyue and Xiaoyao: "Look!"
They are standing on the square boulders at the top of the mountain, surrounded by a sea of white clouds, which is constantly churning as the wind changes.A group of maids flew into the sea of clouds on swan geese, lit the lanterns in their hands, and carefully placed the lanterns into the sea of clouds. One by one, the lanterns floated in the sea of clouds, swaying and swaying as the clouds and mist surged, a bit like floating on water waves The lanterns on the water are all floating on the water, but now they are in the air. Some lanterns float high, while others float low.
Xinyue nodded in praise and said, "It's really unique!"
Concubine Li Rong asked Xiaoyao with a smile: "What do you think?"
Xiao Yao said: "It's very beautiful!"
Concubine Li Rong said: "It will look better if there are more lights on later." Concubine Li Rong made a gesture of invitation, "Please let the queen put it on first!"
The maid had already led the swan goose and stood respectfully aside, Xinyue said: "Then I won't be polite." Xinyue's maid took out the prepared lantern, and Xinyue picked up a lantern and drove the swan goose to fly out. After closing his eyes and making a wish, he put the lantern into the sea of clouds.
Everyone watched the queen put up the lanterns, and they all drove the swan geese to set off the lanterns one after another.有几个懒惰的，就站在巨石边，将花灯扔进云海，有人扔得好，花灯飘了起来，有人扔得糟糕，花灯翻了几个跟头，燃烧起来，惹来众人的哄笑。虽然没几个人会把传说中的祈愿当真，可触了霉头，毕竟心里不舒服，灵力不高的人再不敢偷懒，老老实实地驾着鸿雁去放灯。
每个人的花灯样子不同，颜色也不同，随着一盏盏亮起的花灯越来越多，云海里的花灯高低错落、五光十色，红得、妊的、紫的、黄的……犹如把各种颜色的宝石撒入了云海，璀璨耀眼，光华夺目。
离戎妃问小夭：“好看吗？”
小夭凝望着身周闪烁的花灯：“好看！”
离戎妃说：“昶让我告诉你，不管璟是生还是死，他的心愿永远都相同，希望你幸福，纵然这个幸福不是璟给你的，他也只会祝福。”
小夭眼眶发酸，原来这就是离戎妃盛情邀请她的原因，她是在帮昶传话。
离戎妃望着漫天璀璨的花灯，眼中满是苦涩：“逝者已去，生者还要继续活着，悲天怆地并不能让逝者回来，与其沉溺于痛苦，不如敞开胸怀，给自己一条生路。”
小夭默默不语，离戎妃微笑道：“小夭，你也许觉得我说这话很容易，劝慰的话谁不会说呢？痛苦却只是你自己的。你的痛苦，我也曾经历过，我很清楚什么叫痛不欲生，但我知道自己每一次的欢笑，都会让他欣慰，所以我一直在很努力地笑。”
小夭惊讶地扭头，看着离戎妃，她一直爱玩爱笑，所有人都以为她没心没肺。离戎妃说：“小夭，不妨学着把逝者珍藏到心里，不管你日后是否会接受其他人，都记得璟喜欢看的是你的欢笑，不是眼泪。让自己幸福，并不是遗忘和背叛，逝者不会责怪，只会欣慰。”
小夭说：“我知道。”
离戎妃轻轻叹息了一声：“去许个心愿，把花灯放了吧！”
离戎妃的侍女对小夭说：“这只鸿雁很温驯，只要小姐抓牢缰绳，绝不会有问题。”
“谢谢。”小夭翻身坐到了鸿雁背上，苗莆驾驭着另一只鸿雁跟随着小夭。
小夭将缰绳绕在手腕上，把一盏木樨花灯放进了云海，一阵风过，随着翻涌的云海，花灯飘向了远处。
连放了三盏木樨花灯，灯油用的是木樨花油，此时已能闻到浓郁的木樨花香，小夭不自禁地驾驭着鸿雁，追随着花灯。放花灯时，小夭没有许愿。从小到大，她许的愿全都被以最残忍的方式撕碎，她已经不敢奢求，更不敢许愿。小夭总觉得老天听到她的愿望，就会故意地毁灭一切。这会儿，她遥望着花灯，默默地说：璟，我在小月顶上种了木樨，等到木樨花开时，我唱歌给你听。
驮着小夭的鸿雁突然尖鸣了几声，发疯一般疾驰起来。一边疾驰，一边发出凄厉的呜叫。猝不及防间，小夭差点被甩了下去，忙紧紧地抓住缰绳。
苗莆惊恐地叫：“小姐，小姐！”她试图去追赶小夭，想拦截住发疯的鸿雁，可那只鸿雁的速度太快，她根本追赶不上。
鸿雁左冲右突，一会儿急速拔高、一会儿急剧俯冲，一会儿痛苦地翻滚。小夭被甩了出去，她紧紧地抓住缰绳，随着鸿雁的飞翔翻滚，小夭就好似一片叶子，在天空中飘来荡去。
惊叫声此起彼伏，不停地有人大叫：“来人！快来人！”
离戎妃尖叫：“小夭，抓住，无论如何都不要放手！”她等不及侍卫赶来，直接自己召唤坐骑，向着小夭飞去，企图救小夭。可是鸿雁完全发了疯，全部力量都凝聚在最后的飞翔中，速度快若闪电，又完全没有章法，离戎妃根本追赶不及。
小夭勉力睁开眼睛，看到血从鸿雁的嘴角滴落，她明白这只鸿雁并不是突然发疯，而是中了剧毒。那个要杀她的人再次动手了！
这一次竟好像是真正的绝境，离戎妃选的地方远离各个主峰，附近的山峰没有侍卫，等待侍卫赶来，已来不及，小夭体质特异，即使被沉入大海也不会死，可从高空摔下，无论如何都会摔成粉末。
小夭的眼前浮现出颛顼蓬头垢面的样子，心里默念，不能放弃，决不能死！她咬破了舌尖，用疼痛缓解在空中翻来滚去的恶心晕沉，她必须要庆幸地思考！
小夭观察下方的地形，不知道鸿雁飞到了哪里，四周都是悬崖峭壁，突然，一片茂密的苍绿映入眼帘。
小夭咬紧牙关，抓住缰绳，一寸寸地向着鸿雁背上爬去。虽然缰绳都是用最柔软的皮革制成，可也禁不住这种勒压，小夭的手掌划裂。她每靠近鸿雁一寸，伤口就深一分，血汩汩流下。
鸿雁痛苦地翻滚了几圈，小夭也被甩了几圈。小夭怕自己会因为发晕失去了力气，她用力地咬着自已的唇，努力地维持着清醒。
待鸿雁不再翻滚，小夭又顺着缰绳，向着鸿雁背上挪去。不长的缰绳，可是每挪动一寸，都鲜血淋漓。终于，小夭艰难地挪到了鸿雁身下，她地咬了咬牙，一手松开缰绳，勾住鸿雁的脖子，趁着鸿雁还没反应过来，另一只手也迅速松开缰绳，双手合力抱住了鸿雁的脖子，双脚钩在鸿雁身侧，整个人倒挂在鸿雁身上。
鸿雁已经是强弩之末，随时会从高空直接坠落。
左边山上一片浓郁的苍绿掠人眼帘，小夭顾不上多想，决定就选择那片树林为降落地。腾不出手，她就像野兽一般用嘴去咬鸿雁右面的脖子，鸿雁的头避向左面，飞翔的方向也自然地向着左面调整了。
鸿雁似乎也知道自己的生命即将结束，伸长脖子哀哀鸣叫，小夭再不敢迟疑，猛她胳膊用力，互相一扭，鸿雁的咽喉折断。小夭双手紧紧接着鸿雁的脖子，双腿钩住鸿雁的身子，翻了个身，让鸿雁在下，她在上，向下坠去。看到绿色越来越近，越来越近，就在要碰到绿色的一瞬，小夭尽力把自己的身子蜷缩在鸿雁柔软的肚子上。
boom!boom!砰……震耳欲聋的声音一声又一声传来。
昏天黑地中，小夭觉得全身上下都痛，不知道自己究竟断了多少根骨头，也不知道当碰撞声结束时，她是否还能活着感受到身体的痛苦，她只能努力得蜷缩着身子，将伤害减轻到最低。
在砰砰的碰撞声中，小夭痛得昏厥了过去。
一会儿后，小夭被弥漫的血腥气给熏醒了，她挣扎着从一堆血肉中爬了出来，从头到脚都是血，她也不知道究竟是自己的血，还是鸿雁的血。
不管那人是不是馨悦，敢在种农山下手。必定还有后手，小夭不敢停留，捡起了一根被砸断的树枝当作拐杖，努力挣扎着远离此处。幸亏她曾独自在山林中生活了二十多年，对山野的判断是本能，她向着有水源的地方行去。
多年的习惯，不管什么时候，小夭都会带上一些救命的药，可这一次被甩来甩去，又从高空摔进了树林，所有药都丢失了，只能看看待会儿能不能碰到对症的草药。
越靠近水源，植被越密，小夭发现了两三种疗伤的草药。待找到水源，她瘫软在地上，喘息了一会儿，咬牙坐起，走进了河水中。正一边清洗身上的血腥，一边检查身体时，听到身后的山林间有飞鸟惊起，小夭展开手，银色的弓箭出现在手中。
从半空中摔下时，她都痛得昏厥了过去，相柳肯定能感受到，不知道他是不是又要后悔和她种了这倒霉的连命蛊。小夭苦笑着，轻轻摸了下弓：“这次要全靠你了！”
拉弓时，小夭一直双手直哆嗦，可当弓弦拉满时，多年的刻苦训练终于体现出价值了，她的双手骤然变得平稳，趁着那一瞬的稳，小夭放开了弓弦，银色的箭嗖一下飞出。
一声惨呼传来，有人骂骂咧咧地说：“还好，没射到要害。”
她的箭都淬有剧毒，小夭可不担心这个，她担心的是，她只有三次机会，已经用掉一次。
几个蒙面人走出了山林，一共六个人。
他们看到衣衫褴褛，重伤到坐直都困难的小夭时，明显轻松了几分。估计都知道小夭灵力低微，看到她哆哆嗦嗦地挽弓，竟然哄笑了起来。
银色的箭射出，从低住高，擦破了一个人的大腿，歪歪扭扭射中了另一个人的胳膊。没等他们看清，又一支箭飞出，依旧箭势怪异，从两人的耳畔擦过，留下一道浅浅的血痕，正中第三个人的眼睛。
二箭，五人！小夭已经尽了全力！
弓消失在她的掌中，小夭疲惫地笑了笑，在心中轻声说：“谢榭！”
这时，林中才传来—个人的惊呼声：“有毒！小心！”
一个蒙面人从林中奔了出来：“箭上有剧毒，七号已经死了。”
随着他的话音，一、二、三……五个人陆续倒下，只剩了未被射中的一个人和刚从林内出来的一个。
两个蒙面人惊骇地看着小夭，他们灵力高强、训练有素，执行任务前，被清楚地告知小夭灵力低微。他们知道此行很危险，但这个危险绝不该来自灵力低微的小夭。
小夭刚射完三箭，全身力竭，整个身体都在颤抖，她却盯着两个蒙面人，拿起了刚才做拐杖的木棍，当作武器，横在胸前。两个蒙面人再不敢轻视小夭，运足灵力，谨慎地向着小夭走过去。小夭知道，以自己现在的身体状况和一根木棍武器，反抗他们很可笑，但她告诉自己，就算要死，也要杀一个是一个。
两个蒙面人没有任何废话，抽出剑，迅速地出手，一左一右配合，竟然把连站都站不起来的小夭当作了大敌，全力搏杀，不给小夭任何生机。小夭的木棍在他们的灵气侵袭下，碎裂成了一截截。
就在小夭要被剑气刺穿时，一个身影迅疾如电，扑入了两个蒙面人中间，他没有用任何兵器，徒手对付两个手握利器的人，身形却没有丝毫凝滞。
一个蒙面人用利剑刺向他的手，以为他会躲，没想到他的手迎着剑锋去，就在要碰到时，他的胳膊变得柔弱无骨，生生地逆转了个方向，抓住了蒙面人的胳膊，惨叫声中，鲜血飞溅，他的手如利爪，竟然生生地把蒙面人的整只胳膊撕扯了下来。
三人搏斗时，动作迅疾飘忽，小夭一直没看清是谁，这会儿看到这么血腥的手段，喃喃说：“左耳！”她松了口气，再支持不住，直挺挺地倒在地上。
两个蒙面人不见得不如左耳厉害，但左耳出手的凶残狠辣他们见所未见，撕裂的血肉溅到左耳脸上，左耳眼睛眨都不眨，居然伸出舌头轻轻舔一下，好似品尝着鲜血的味道。他们心惊胆战，左耳却心如止水，就如在死斗场里，唯一的念头不过是杀死面前的人，不论何种方式只有杀死他们，才能活下去。
一会儿后，搏斗结束，地上又多了两其尸体。
左耳走到小夭身边蹲小，小夭说：“我的一条腿断了，肋骨估计断了三四根。你呢？”
“胳膊受伤了。”
小夭扔了一株药草给左耳，既能止血，又能掩盖血腥味。她给自己也上好药后，对左耳说：“我们找个地方藏起来。”
左耳背起小夭，逆着溪流而上，左耳说：“你的箭术很高明，换成我，也很难躲避。”
小夭微笑，叹道：“我有个很好的师傅。”
也许是小夭声音中流露的情绪，让敏锐的左耳猜到了什么，左耳问：“是邶？”
"Ok."
左耳说：“我会帮他保护你！”
左耳和相柳一样，恩怨分明，在左耳心中，邶有恩于他，他肯定想着一旦有了机会就要报恩，可邶死了，他就把欠邶的都算到了她身上。
小夭笑着叹息：“你们还真的是同类！不过，我和他……并不像你以为的那么要好！”
左耳疾驰了一个时辰后，说：“附近有狼洞。”
小夭说：“去和他们打个商量，借住一晚。”
狼洞很隐秘，可小夭独自一人在山林里生活过二十多年，很会查看地形，左耳又嗅觉灵敏，不过一会儿，两人就寻到了洞去。左耳先钻进去，小夭用手慢慢爬了进去。狼洞不高，但面积不小，七八只小狼盯着他们，还有一群大狼环伺着他们。小夭正纳闷它们为什么不进攻时，看到左耳屁股下坐着—只强壮的雄狼，估计是这群狼的首领。
小夭失笑，左耳不懂兵法，却深谙擒贼先擒王。
左耳拽着雄狼出去，估计是要把他们进来的痕迹掩盖，消泯气味的最好方法自然是请狼首领撒几泡尿。一会儿后，左耳进来了，没再拽着狼首领。狼首领蹿进狼群中，二十来只狼呈半圆形，围着左耳和小夭，想要扑杀，却又不敢。
小夭知道这也算打好商量了，问左耳：“你身上有药吗？”
左耳拿出一个玉瓶和一个小玉筒：“苗莆给我的。”左耳做奴隶做久了，习惯于身无一物，就这两样东西还是苗莆强塞给他的。
玉瓶里是千年玉髓，小拇指般大小的玉筒里是一小截细细的扶桑木。小夭笑道：“苗莆可真是大手笔，知道你懒得带什么火石火绒的，竟然把这宝贝都给你了。”
小夭把玉筒收了起来，玉瓶还给左耳：“收好了，关键时刻能续命。”这点玉髓对她的伤用处不大，与其她喝了，不如留给左耳，只有左耳活着，她才能活着。
左耳说：“我来时，看到很多侍卫四处搜救你，要和他们会合吗？”
“先看看再说。外祖父虽然厉害，但这些年他为了避嫌，刻意地不插手神农山的防卫，除了小月顶的侍卫，神农山的侍卫没有一个是外祖父的人。颛顼不在，我不知道哪些侍卫能相信，哪些侍卫不能相信，万一人家明为搜救，实际是想杀了我们，我们送上门去，不是受死吗？”
左耳不再多想，闭上眼睛，蓄养精力，常年生死边缘的挣扎，让他心境永远平静，能休息时，绝不浪费。
虽然身体痛得厉害，小夭依旧迷糊了过去。
左耳突然睁开眼睛，轻轻推了下小夭，指指外面。
someone is coming!只是不知道是想救她的人，还是想杀她的入。小夭凝神倾听，脚步声纷杂而来，不一会儿，又去了，渐渐寂静。小夭刚松了口气，突然听到了熟悉的声音，是丰隆和馨悦。他们大概正站在狼洞的某个通风口上说话，丰隆肯定设了禁制，没刻意压低声音。可因为左耳之前动的手脚，丰隆的禁制有了破绽，不过，传出的声音非常小，即使小夭很熟悉他们的声音，极力去听，也只能隐约辨出他们说的是什么。
是馨悦的声音，嗡嗡嘤嘤，完全听不到说什么，只能感觉她说了很多。
“你疯了吗？”丰隆的声音，因为带着怒火和震惊，格外洪亮，很是清楚。
“我已经做了……开弓没有回头箭……现在只能趁着陛下赶回来前杀了小夭，我已经想好退路，将一切推到……”馨悦的声音越来越低，渐渐地什么都听不清了。
"..."
不知道丰隆说了什么，馨悦的声音突然拔高，带着激愤和悲伤：“你在赤水快乐无忧地长大成人时，想过我在轩辕城过的是什么日子吗？我在小心翼翼讨好那些公子小姐！你玩累了睡得死沉时，我每晚担惊受怕，从噩梦中惊醒！你缠着爷爷要新年礼物时。我唯一的渴望不过是爹爹千万不要造反，祈求黄帝不要杀了我！从小别大。我当质子，让你过得好，你几时帮过我？陛下要封阿念为王后时，你竟然就因为赤水氏多了几块封地，就反过来劝我接受！这是我第一次求你，你不帮，就滚吧！反正从小到大，我也没靠过你！”
“我劝你接受阿念为王后，不仅仅是为了封地，也是为你好！”
“你走吧！我不想听！我死、我活，都和你无关！”馨悦的声音渐渐远去，想来她正在急速地离开。
“馨悦，你听我说……”丰隆的声音充满了痛苦无奈，追着馨悦的声音消失了。
小夭没有听到丰隆最终对馨悦的回答，但她知道，丰隆会答应！不仅仅是因为他们血脉相连，还因为丰隆的确欠了馨悦，正因为馨悦在轩辕城做质子，他才能在赤水自由自在地长大。
丰隆并不想伤害小夭，但这世上总会有一些不得不做的选择，即使做了之后，要承受心灵的痛苦鞭笞。也不得不做，小夭完全能理解，她依旧悲伤，当年一起在木樨林内，月下踏歌，喝酒嬉戏，到底为了什么，馨悦非要她死不可？
左耳总结说：“他们要联手杀了你。”
小夭说：“我听到了。”
左耳说：“他们会回来的。”
小夭说：“我知道。”
杀手担心小夭逃掉，所以赶着往前搜，但当他们发现前面找不到小夭时，肯定还会回来，到那时，即使左耳布置过这个狼洞，也会被发现。
左耳目光炯炯地盯着小夭，小夭摇头：“别再老想着杀人了，丰隆灵力高强，馨悦身边有死卫，你杀不了他们。我们还是乖乖逃命吧！”
左耳在苗莆的教导下，已经明白侍卫的唯一目的是保护，杀人只是保护手段，对杀人不再那么执着，他静听着小夭的下文。小夭想了一会儿说：“逃出神农山不可能，而且逃出去了，更不安全。”
神农氏和赤水氏，小夭绝不敢低估馨悦和丰隆联手的力量，在神农山他们好歹还有顾忌，除了神农山，只怕就无所顾忌了。小夭说：“唯一安全的地方就是小月顶。我们要么想办法回小月顶，要么坚持到颛顼赶回来。”
天已快亮，她出事的消息应该送出去了，两日两夜后，颛顼应该能赶回，生与死的距离是——两日两夜。
小夭说：“此地不宜久留，我们离开！”
左耳背起小夭时，小夭痛苦地呻吟了一声，左耳担忧地问：“你能坚持吗？”
小夭从高空坠落，虽然还活着，但真的伤得非常重，连受惯了伤的左耳也担忧她能不能活下去。小夭说：“我可以！别担心，我的身体比常人特异。”
左耳钻出狼洞，向着小月顶的方向疾驰而去。
一路上，小夭一直四处查看，时不时让左耳采摘点药草，还让左耳摘了一把酸酸的果子，两人分着吃了。后来太过疲惫，小夭支撑不住，在左耳背上昏死过去。
小夭醒来时，发现自己靠着树，坐在地上。左耳和六个人在缠斗，地上已经有四具尸体。
左耳终于真正理解了侍卫和杀手的不同，杀手只有不惜一切代价杀死的目标，侍卫却有了心甘情愿守护的对象；杀手要死亡，侍卫却要生存。左耳必须保证使出每一个招式时，不会有人趁机来杀小夭，他不能再肆意地攻击，就如同被链子束缚住了的野兽，威力大打了折扣，身上已经到处都是伤。
小夭看了看风向，一边咳嗽，一边抓了一点枯叶，覆盖在扶桑木上，把早上让左耳摘的药草一点点小心地放了进去。
烟雾升起，被风一吹，飘散开，弥漫在四周。
“小心，风里有毒！”
待那几个杀手发现时已经晚了，他们脚步虚浮，攻击有了偏差，左耳抓住机会，将他们一一杀死。
左耳好奇地问：“这些事毒药？”
小夭笑道：“不是毒药，好的毒药必须经过炼制，这些药草只会让人产生非常短暂的眩晕感，我们早上吃的那个又酸又苦的果子恰好能解它的药性。”
左耳想把火灭了，小夭对左耳吩咐：“捡点湿枝丢到火上。”
左耳毫不犹豫地执行，浓黑的烟雾升起，隔着老远都能看到。
左耳背起小夭，重新开始逃跑。小夭解释道：“反成已经暴露了，所幸暴露得彻底点。浓烟肯定会引来真正想救我
