Chapter 156 The Death of Yue Xiaohong

When Liu Qi heard the news of Yue Xiaohong's death, the news also reached the palace.

The little eunuch told An Liang that the Defang class had sent people to report, and the list of the operas in the palace was rewritten and submitted. Although the play "You Long Xi Feng" can still be sung, the Danjiao has changed people.

Holding the new list, An Liang was so deliberate that he didn't dare to make a claim on his own, and he couldn't make up his mind whether this trivial matter should be reported to Su Zhen, so he had to go to Min Feng first and ask him to report it to him. Find a way.It wouldn't be like this before, but the emperor is always acting weird recently, he doesn't know what to do.

For example, the last time Min Feng asked the German class to sing 'You Long Xi Feng', he also said that this play could not be sung in the palace, but the next day Su Zhen specifically told him that there would be 'You Long Xi Feng'.

He didn't know why Min Feng could pinch Su Zhen's pulse, which made him a little bit appreciative, after all, he was the emperor's closest servant.

When An Liang saw Min Feng, he had something to ask him, but he didn't want Min Feng to see that he came to him because he was not sure about the emperor's mood, so he was awkward when he asked him.Min Feng saw it in his eyes and understood it in his heart, and he didn't intend to expose it, so he was silent for a while and said: "It seems that this show doesn't need to be played."

An Liang looked at the list in his hand, and asked suspiciously: "Master Min, you mean that Yue Xiaohong is the only one to play? Since when did the emperor become a fan of Boss Yue's play?"

Min Feng shook his head, "It's not Yue Xiaohong."

An Liang thought for a while, then stomped his feet, "Can't you just say a few more words to understand what you said? My Master Min!"

"I don't understand. Eunuch An should report it." Min Feng cupped his hands and walked away holding the sword.An Liang stood on the spot and counted, thirteen words, quite a lot, but he didn't say anything.

After An Liang left, Min Feng jumped up and sat on a maple tree, looking up at the gray sky through the layers of leaves, recalling the situation when the Emperor and Xia Chu watched the theater on the tenth day of April, he couldn't help sighing silently tone.

What the emperor is fascinated by is not Yue Xiaohong, but the day that Yue Xiaohong represents.The emperor is also very pitiful. If he wants to see things and think about people, he has to go around such a big circle.

He wondered if he had done something wrong, but the reason why he hesitated was because he didn't know what was right.It would be nice if we didn't meet each other in the first place.But if we didn't meet each other at the beginning, would it be really good?he does not know.

As Min Feng said, An Liang talked about Yue Xiaohong's affairs anxiously, Su Zhen was stunned after hearing this, then lowered his eyes and fell silent for a while, then smiled wryly in a low voice, "Forget it, don't listen. "

An Liang saw that Su Zhen looked a little depressed, so he plucked up his courage and said: "Your Majesty, this servant also thinks that listening to operas in the palace is boring. If the Emperor is bored, how about this servant accompany you for a walk?"

Su Zhen didn't seem to hear these words, looked at the teacup in his hand, slowly lifted the lid, and put it down with a ding, "Yue Xiaohong is dead..."

An Liang raised his eyes and glanced at Su Zhen quickly, not understanding what he meant, nodded and said: "Yes. The person who came to report said that he died of a sudden illness, and Yue Xiaohong had been suffering from asthma, probably at night."

Su Zhen didn't care about Yue Xiaohong, he didn't even remember Yue Xiaohong's appearance.He only remembered that it was the tenth day of April, and he wanted to hear Yue Xiaohong sing "You Long Xi Feng" again, and wanted to have a background for him to indulge in it, and to recall it openly.

But Yue Xiaohong died, and the sudden death of this famous actress in Xijing suddenly made Su Zhen feel a kind of panic for no reason, a sense of impermanence like misfortune and fortune.

That day he gave a reward of one hundred taels of silver, that day he drank a pot of white tea with Xia Chu, that day he talked about Yue Xiaohong's singing with Xia Chu, and that day Xia Chu praised Yue Xiaohong for her beautiful appearance, even more feminine.That day began with the drumbeat of the German squad, and it still echoes in my heart from time to time.

Then Yue Xiaohong died suddenly, that was the first time he watched Yue Xiaohong's play, unexpectedly it was also the last time.

Su Zhen remembered the evening when he said goodbye to Xia Chu that day, the sky was on the verge of getting dark, Xia Chu smiled at him, then turned and ran into the alley, his figure gradually blurred.

On the way back to the palace, he was still wondering when Xia Chu would come back, and guessing what she would give him, and then everything came to an abrupt end.Originally, it was his own thoughts that he wanted to cut off, but at this moment, he suddenly felt a little scared.

Will we never see each other again?Could it be that smile before she turns around is the ending?If Xia Chu leaves one day, will he end his life without being able to see her even more?No matter life or death, since then two boundless?Thinking of this, Su Zhen felt a pain in his heart.

He really wanted to find someone to ask, to ask himself what to do is the right thing to do.The emperor had to learn to endure and give up, but Su Zhen didn't want to regret and regret.But what is the ending with no regrets and no regrets, and who should he ask?
He suddenly thought of Su Yi, the brother who lost everything and even his life for a man.At that time, he had secretly laughed at Su Yi's idiocy, laughing at why he bothered to confess his secret feelings when he couldn't protect himself.

He also once thought that if he would not do that, it would be so unrestrained.There is no need to talk about winning the world in the future, let alone talking about losing wealth in the future.But now he seems to understand Su Yi, and he is afraid of regretting it.

Who can be free and easy?Since you are emotionally moved, what are you talking about free and easy?
Su Zhen put down the tea bowl and stood up, An Liang took two steps forward to serve, but Su Zhen waved his hand and said softly, "You don't need to follow, I want to walk by myself."

It was still a gloomy sky outside, with neither rain nor sun, and it was hard to tell what would be sprinkled in the next moment.

Turning around, Xia Chu's ears were filled with the news of Yue Xiaohong's death.Normally, she didn't feel that there were so many theater fans around her, but now that Yue Xiaohong died, it seemed that all of them had become opera experts.

Although Xia Chu didn't understand drama and was not familiar with Yue Xiaohong, she also felt sorry.For her, Yue Xiaohong has become a symbol, representing a touching memory between her and Su Zhen, just like Tai Guang Lou, Fu Ji Yang Tang, and that drawer of letters and gifts.

Maybe it's because she has more things to remember Su Zhen, maybe she can't choose to meet or not like Su Zhen, so she doesn't feel as sentimental as Su Zhen about Yue Xiaohong's death.

Ever since seeing An Liang in front of the Tai Guang Building, Xia Chu analyzed it alone for a long time.She thought it was not that Su Zhen didn't have time, because even if he didn't have time to come out, he could still write a letter like before, and An Liang could send her a letter if he had time to go to Taiguang Tower.

So Su Zhen didn't intend to come to see him at all.Why?she does not know.She couldn't guess the reason for Su Zhen's disappearance, because she didn't even know who he was, but she had to accept his disappearance.She can only accept it.

Maybe for Su Zhen, she is not as important as he imagined.She regards Su Zhen as a friend, she likes him silently, but that is her own business after all, it is unreasonable and impossible for her to ask Su Zhen to give her the same heart, let alone complain about something.

Being happy, sad, tossing and turning, this is called a bad crush.

The government office didn't have any cases today, maybe even the thief Xiaoxiao was mourning Yue Xiaohong's death, and he was no longer in the mood to commit a crime.Jiang Xiyuan was ordered by his mother to go home to attend "If You Are the One", Liu Qi was depressed because of Yue Xiaohong's death, Xia Chu, who was low in pressure, felt sleepy after just a few words with him.

This day is boring.

At [-]:[-] in the afternoon, Chang Qing came when it was almost time to get off work. He entered the door with a nervous and secretive expression, leaned close to her and lowered his voice: "Boss, someone has reported the crime."

Seeing his funny appearance, Xia Chu imitated his example and lowered his voice: "Really? Who came to report the crime?"

Chang Qing put her hands around her mouth, and said in a lower voice, "He said he was a boy from the German class."

Xia Chu asked angrily: "Young man from the German class? What are you doing? Could it be that Yue Xiaohong died strangely?"

At this moment, Liu Qi suddenly pushed the door open with a bang, startling the two people in the room, and subconsciously fell silent.Seeing Xia Chu and Chang Qing whispering and getting very close, Liu Qi frowned, stepped forward and pulled Chang Qing away, and asked him, "Why are you so close?"

"No..." Chang Qing looked at Liu Qi inexplicably, "I'm just talking to the boss."

"You can't get so close when you talk about things!" Liu Qi raised his eyebrows, "Be careful that your lord will not be happy to see you."

Chang Qing rolled her eyes, then nodded in understanding, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, thank you, Mr. Liu, for your reminder. Oh, I was just telling the boss about someone reporting the case. Do you know who came to report the case? ?"

"I know, that's why I came here." Liu Qi turned his head and said to Xia Chu: "I saw the man standing at the gate of the government office just now. I saw him in the Taiguang Building when I investigated Yu Wenping's case last time. Xiao Hong's servant, Brother Xia, hurry up and ask if there is anything wrong."

Xia Chu nodded and stood up, and when he walked past Liu Qi, he asked him: "Brother Liu, what did you mean by what you said just now? Why are you upset?"

Hearing her question, Liu Qi felt a little confused.Could it be that Xia Chu didn't know about his young master's broken sleeve?Or maybe the sleeve wasn't cut off at the beginning of Xia?Master changed the play?With the young master's immature temperament, it's not impossible.

Seeing Liu Qi startled, Xia Chu waved his hands in front of his eyes, "Brother Liu? What are you thinking?"

Liu Qi came back to his senses, rinsed his throat, and said sternly: "It's always bad to whisper privately, if your lord sees it, you'll think you're talking bad about him, why bother."

As soon as Xia Chu heard that it made sense, he didn't ask any more questions, and took Chang Qing to see the person who reported the crime, and Liu Qi followed quickly.The young man who reported the case was about fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing ordinary cloth clothes, with a haggard face, but he looked very clever.Chang Qing took him to the classroom, and when he saw Xia Chu, he knelt down on the ground and said: "My lord, our boss Yue died strangely, I implore the lord to investigate, and if he was really killed by a thief, please ask the lord to investigate." Master Yue is the master, don't let him die in vain." The end of the sentence was already crying.

Xia Chu asked Chang Qing to pull him up, poured him another cup of tea, and said warmly: "You are Yue Xiaohong's servant? What's your name?"

"The young one's name is Jin Ershun." He raised his head, his eyes were red, his voice was choked up but he spoke clearly: "The young one has been the servant of Boss Yue for three years. Sir, the young one speaks lightly, can you believe what you say?" ?"

Xia Chu nodded to him, and encouraged him: "There is no one who speaks lightly, and the government office only admits the facts. You can talk about it first. I heard that Boss Yue has no sudden illness. What do you think is strange?"
