box of hearts

Chapter 169
In less than two hours, the sky was already bright.Sun Xiuda hurried to the arrow garden of the Wangfu, with a serious face and a solemn tone, "My lord, everything has been clarified. It's Yao Ma and Youyan. They heard the quarrel between the lord and Madam Duan the night before, After discussing and agreeing on this plan, the next morning, Mama Yao went to Ruyuan and lied that the princess had something to pass on from generation to generation, and let Xiaoyan lead her into the house, and the two of them took a towel soaked in sweat medicine to stun Madam Duan , took off naked—— gnaw!——Took off all clothes and put them on the bed, only said that the empress was taking a nap, and ordered no one to disturb her. Afterwards, You Yan took the prince’s hand card privately and gave it to the servant, saying that it was the empress’ words, Let them go to the Ministry of Housekeeping to invite Qiao Da——Qiao Yunze, that bastard! Before the prince left from this mansion, Yao Ma sent someone to Ruyuan to deliver the letter, and Youyan sent the bastard who had been waiting all this time. The lamb was brought directly into the empress's bedroom, and told the other maids that the empress wanted to have a private conversation with the guests, and no one was allowed to enter. Before that, she had given the unconscious empress the aphrodisiac, and put, put the quilt It was also uncovered. The person surnamed Qiao went in and took a look, and it was——, gnaw! It was interrogated by the little one himself, and everyone’s confession was perfect. From the beginning to the end, Xiaojing, Yuepo, Hongzhi, Ziwei, and The girl Yingzhi who hugged the cat, none of them had ever met Madam Duan, it was Youyan who was passing on the imperial decree. And the medicine, which Youyan said was given by Yao's mother, she didn't know where Yao's mother got it Yes. Youyan is already——" She crossed her hand and made a gesture between her neck, "As for Yao's mother, I don't dare to go to the princess to get someone without a word from the prince."

Slightly squinting his eyes, he kept aiming at the archery target in front of him, and Qi She replied flatly: "Understood." Then he took the bow and drew the string, and continued to shoot when it was interrupted.A sharp wind blew, the arrow stack hummed and trembled violently, and an iron arrow pierced through Hu's heart.

At the other end of the palace, the sun shines on the screen windows, and the patterns of Liutong spring on the carved windows are printed by the sunlight on the floor tiles with passion grass.At the beginning of Sichu, Princess Xiangshou had finished her breakfast and was chatting with several concubines.When Qi She came in, everyone was taken aback, and they all bowed their knees to salute.Qi She nodded, and pushed away the tea tray brought by the maid, "You all go down, I have something to say to the princess."

The mountain rain was about to come and the wind filled the building, but Xiangshou didn't notice the clues. Instead, he watched the slightly jealous concubines with shy joy, poured another cup of iced sour plum soup, and held it up, "Why are you still so busy all this time?" In the mansion, didn’t you go to work in the big house? What’s the matter? Talked while drinking, it’s very hot outside, relieve the heat.”

Since the beginning of summer, there is no more burning incense in Xiangshou's house, but some citron and bergamot fruits are poured into the sea tank with freshly drawn well water.Such a pure and sweet air made Qi She snort, took the Burmese jade cup and poured the sour plum soup on the ground, "When I go out, all the tableware and tea sets are carried by a special person. Now it seems that this rule in my house I can't save it either."

There was a slanted bell on Xiangshou's head, the bell shook, and he looked down at the puddle of water on the ground, and forced a smile, "Why is the prince not clear?"

With a simple gesture, Qi She opened the cup in his hand, "Then I'll explain it clearly. Do you know what Yao Ma did in Ruyuan?"

"What, what's the matter?"

"Xiangshou, I only give you one chance to tell the truth. Do you know what Yao Ma did in Ruyuan, or don't you know?"

Seemingly familiar, Xiangshou looked at the face in front of her, which was so calm and expressionless, and felt the whirlpool rotating rapidly behind her, trying to drag her back to the other end of time.She threw herself heavily forward, hugged Qi She's leg like a pillar, and shouted incoherently: "My lord! I, I persuaded Yao's mother, but she didn't listen to me! That, that matter, as if Yuan, I only found out later. I, I dare not tell the lord, I——, don't go, lord, please listen to me, lord!"

Qi She looked down at the woman stuck to his lap, watching her pinch his auspicious clouds and eight treasures soft satin gown into ugly folds, her eyes were full of disgust, "Let go."

Xiangshou didn't dare to let it go, the whirlpool had eaten up to her neck.There was only one stunning and desperate face left on the water, looking up to the only man in her life, begging him to help, "Master!!"

What Qi She gave to Xiangshou was his feet.The silver-gray satin boots kicked her hard on the chest, and she got away.When the curtain was lifted, several maidservants in the outer room saw it, and all their faces turned yellow with fright.Wanwan rushed forward to block it, and knelt down at the head, "No matter what it is, I beg the lord to calm down, the empress is still pregnant, if one can't think about it like that night—" Hearing this threat of death and life again, all She immediately cut off with a sneer, "Let her die." With a flick of her skirt, she walked away from Wanwan.

He didn't see the white running wheel that really existed, and it swallowed up a small life and an even smaller life that resided in it without a trace in an instant.

Wanwan and all the maidservants came into the room to help Xiangshou, but Xiangshou just sat on the ground, crying with his face hidden in his palm.After crying for a moment, he suddenly pressed his cheeks, stood up and smiled, "It's nothing, it's just a quarrel with the prince, and it will be fine when he comes back at night. Go ahead, I'll be alone later Son."

Wan Wan followed the princess's order and put down the Gu embroidered curtain of the golden and green landscape, and closed the door.Xiangshou stood in the middle of the room, with water in his eyes and water all around him.At the bottom of the deep water of the vortex of time, she wobbled and put her hand to her lower abdomen, caressing the continuous pattern of melons on the embroidered scorpion between the gold plates.When she stroked her protruding belly for the first time many years ago, what she thought of was the status and glory of the concubine. Years later, every time she stroked it, what she thought of was her husband's smile—he took a piece of paper from the midwife. A writhing golden swaddle, from which a fist that could not be smaller protruded, and the whole fist held one of his fingers. He looked into the swaddle, his face full of joy and emotion of being a new father — how wonderful.This place, it's not going to be like this anymore, this place will just have a replay of everything, abortion pills and Wing Lane.Her child would be a puddle of molten blood, her husband a distant, indifferent statue.But there will always be another place, there must be another place, the husband will take the swaddle and smile deeply, their children will grow up day by day, calling daddy and mommy, his daddy will hold him on his shoulders, Under the peach tree full of blooming pink flowers outside the window, they smiled and looked at her together.Her family is waiting for her.

Xiangshou smiled and raised her head, the flood that filled her body was rising higher and higher, and gradually lifted her to the highest height; it was so high that when she stretched out her hand, she touched the ceiling of the algae well above her head.

Everyone in the mansion began to faintly feel that something important was happening, and this keen sense was verified by Nanny Yao.Many people have seen with their own eyes that Nanny Yao, who used to be strutting like a pitiful fighting dog, is being chased from the courtyard to the inner room by a group of eunuchs. Which of you dares to touch me? Who dares? Who dares to touch me? I want to see my lady! My lady, my lady, someone doesn’t pay attention to you and wants to tie your mother with a rope! My lady , open the door, ma'am!"

The door of the queen's bedroom was bolted, and there was no sound for a long time.A bold one knocked the disciple away two or three times.Nanny Yao in front of the door stared blankly, let out a shrill scream, and collapsed to the ground.It wasn't until the regent himself came over after hearing the news that she jumped up and grabbed the hem of his clothes, beating and crying viciously: "You goddamn, what are you doing? Your majesty, she didn't do anything. I was the only one! It was I who gave you the goblin the medicine, and it was all done by my old lady! My lady didn’t know anything, she didn’t do anything! My lady did one thing, and she kept it The life of your goblin! You god damn what are you doing? How could my mother be sorry for you? My mother has been with you since she was 14 years old, and she still has your flesh and blood in her stomach! How could she be sorry You? You compensate my mother, you compensate me..."

It took a lot of effort for several eunuchs to drag the old lady, who was so vigorous that there was no one before or since, from the prince. The crazy crying was gradually dragged away, but Qi She nailed it without moving a step. in place.He finally saw it too, the reversed turbine that had devoured Xiangshou came rushing towards him from the two wide-open doors.Passing through the fog of years and months, he once again looked at the unforgettable 17-year-old: a pair of shallow flower shoes in the air at the 17-year-old, and the 17-year-old ground is a patch of incontinent urine stains.

As for that face - under the shining candles, Xiangshou was buried on the bed, and Qi Shemo sat on the side of the bed, as soon as he closed his eyes, he could see the beauty of her life again.She is so beautiful, and loves beauty so much, he likes to do things with a light on, and when she can't do it, she must cover her little face with her hands, and never show it to him, because she feels that she is not good at that time. beautiful.But in front of him—he opened his eyes again: a pale purple face with teeth protruding from the tip of a dark pink tongue, terrifying and ugly.
