Chapter 120 Pengcheng's visit
It was night, and the originally bright and quiet moonlight fell coldly on the mass graves in Xishan Mountain, turning pale and scary. In the breathless night, there was only the whining sound of the wind, like ghosts crying and wolves howling, and the soil was damp and moldy.
The smell of rotting corpses lingers over the scattered tombs, and the broken limbs under the torn cotton wool. Even if you cover your mouth and nose with a handkerchief, it can make you feel overwhelmed and almost nauseous.
"How, how--"
Accompanied by the old bird's shrill and strange cry, Yang Che's bodyguard, Si Nan, stood tremblingly under the roots of a leafy old tree, watching the old bird's black feathers whirring in the night, and above his head.
There was a rustling sound in the trees, and Simon was trembling even more, and he couldn't even speak clearly.
Looking at the broken straw mat not far away, the broken quilt was picked up by a wild dog, and he could no longer distinguish the owner's broken limbs and bones. Si Nan couldn't help but shudder, and even goosebumps stood up all over his body.
The few boys who were looking through each other could only become more cautious, as if they were afraid of disturbing something. They tried their best to lower their voices and urged without confidence: "Look, have you found it?"
Just as he was looking around alertly and with some fear, a voice suddenly said: "Found it!"
Si Nan's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He looked at the figure who made the sound and waved to him. Although he didn't dare, thinking about what his master had ordered, he still gritted his teeth.
, covered his mouth and nose tightly and rubbed it.
As soon as he walked towards the mountains of corpses, the soaring smell of corpses penetrated his nose and rushed into his lungs domineeringly. Simon couldn't bear it any longer and immediately turned his head to vomit, but he never wanted to face the pale face.
The face of a man who never rests in peace.
Si Nan was so frightened that he jumped up and screamed. He was barely supported by the other boys who were accompanying him to prevent him from falling into the pile of dead people. But at this moment, half of his life was gone. He felt that if he didn't leave here, he would be frightened.
It's too late to live.
"Look, this is Lingxi——"
Hearing the reminder from the person behind him, Simon turned around tremblingly, and under the cold moonlight he glanced at Lingxi's swollen and bloody face. He couldn't wait any longer, and quickly turned around, holding on to his weak legs.
While letting others support him, he urged: "Yes, yes, go back, go back home——"
…
In this room, the fire inside Wuzhuyuan was extremely warm. Nian Nufang opened the curtain from the outside and came in. He couldn't help but walk in front of the charcoal stove and warmed his hands over the charcoal fire, then covered his face and untied his take-out clothes.
The coming cold weather.
When she walked inside, she saw Li Sui wearing a rouge, pink and ink-splashed skirt with sixteen patterns, standing behind a desk practicing calligraphy. Under the dim shadow of the lamp, Nian Nu could only feel the pink skirt lining that was dyed from shallow to deep layers.
As a result, my princess became more and more like a peach blossom, so charming and charming, but her calm and determined eyes clearly exuded a demeanor that was soft on the outside but strong on the inside.
"Princess Princess——"
After thinking about it, Niannu stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Li Sui who was behind the desk.
Hearing this, Li Sui let out a soft "hmm", and then retracted the last stroke like flowing water. The next moment, Niannu heard the slight sound of the wolf hair falling back to the pen holder, and then the sound of his wife's arousal rang in his ears.
"Get up."
Nian Nu stood up and his eyes just happened to touch the ink mark on the case. On the paper as white as snow, there was a fierce and decisive, unstained Fei Bai body, which was like stars galloping across the night sky. It was both graceful and rigorous, and also had the beauty of danger and beauty.
Looking at the last chapter of "The Sutra of Sutra of Rebirth" written on the paper, Nian Nu knew it clearly in his heart. He immediately stepped forward and said: "Princess, at night, Si Nan who was next to Wu Langjun really took someone with him.
Visited the Xishan mass graves and confirmed the spirit in person
After losing their breath, they hurriedly left. Li Wei was worried that they would return, so he waited there for an extra hour before feeding Lingxi the antidote. The city gate was locked tonight, and Li Wei would send someone as soon as the city gate opened tomorrow.
People will send Lingxi to Goguryeo."
Hearing Nian Nu's words, Li Sui nodded without much emotion. He just took the hot handkerchief from Yu Nu's hand and wiped his hands, then looked at Nian Nu who seemed to have something to say.
"how?"
After hearing Li Sui's question, Nian Nu thought for a moment and couldn't help but ask: "Princess Princess, if Lingxi secretly returns to Chang'an again, I'm afraid that I will harm you, Princess—"
Li Sui was not surprised by Nian Nu's doubts. In the silence, he only saw her indifferent smile. Her pair of autumn-cut eyes were like black and white swallowtails touching the water surface, making tiny ripples.
"She was killed by the Taiwei and her aunt. Even if she is alive, she is no different from death. After today's incident, she has become Yang Zhao's useless chess. If she returns to Chang'an, she will give up the glimmer of life I gave her.
, since she died once, how could she not see these things clearly——"
The choice between changing one's name and surname and being reborn in a foreign country, or returning to Chang'an to live in a cocoon, must not be difficult.
If she does this, she has fulfilled her original promise.
"Tomorrow you will bring the two pairs of sable tubes that I embroidered a few days ago, as well as the crane cloak with red fox fur and crow feathers veil that Aye sent before. We will go to visit Aye early in the morning.
mother."
After hearing Li Sui's instructions, Nian Nu and Yu Nu responded in unison. After packing Li Sui's calligraphy treasures, they helped her undress and get on the bed. Then they softly looked at the red gold grape cloud and crane pattern hanging on the curtain.
After adding Laoshan sandalwood to the incense ball, he quietly withdrew.
…
When we went to Yuqing Temple, it was a good day with clear sky and clear air. Although it was still chilly, the car driving in the mountains also had the beauty of frost and frost in winter. The horse-drawn carriage traveled leisurely on the winding mountain road. Li Suizheng
He closed his eyes and leaned against the wall of the car to rest his mind. Yu Nu also sat quietly on the side.
With solemn brows and eyes closed, Dudu Niannu couldn't help but lift the car curtain, lie on the window edge and look at the white frost on the trees on the roadside, which made the wild persimmons even more red. He couldn't help but mutter to himself: "In this winter, Dudu
The hot pot, the basin of mutton soup, and the roasted persimmons are perfect for the occasion——"
Thinking of this, Niannu couldn't help but turn his head and noticed that Li Sui seemed to be asleep. He quickly lowered the curtain for fear that the wind would leak in and make Li Sui catch a cold. However, he never thought that the next moment Li Sui had closed his eyes and opened them, seemingly casually.
He spoke out: "On the night of Chinese Valentine's Day, King Yuling recommended a mutton soup restaurant. It's juicy and tender. I'll take you to try it when I get back soon."
As soon as he heard what Li Sui said, Nian Nu's eyes lit up and he raised his head with interest. Seeing this, Li Sui smiled and opened the curtain, looking at the persimmons as red as lanterns, he couldn't help but think of that.
In the scene where Ri, Empress Yang, and Mrs. Li were sitting around the stove eating fire crystal persimmons, a calm sadness gradually appeared in the eyes that were originally smiling because of the thought of slaves.
After Baoying's wedding, the day of Ajie's delivery was approaching.
What is supposed to come will eventually come.
It's winter now, and the mountains are even colder, so there are not many people coming to Yuqing Temple to burn incense today. The courtyard where the eldest princess of Qinghe, Chen, is located behind the temple is even more quiet. At this moment, Huichun is standing
In the corridor, he ordered his maid to hold a small bamboo tube and gather the water condensed by the frost under the stamens of the plum blossoms in the courtyard.
But for a moment, there was a slight sound outside the door. Huichun looked up. Although the appearance of the person in front of him had changed a lot after the changes of the years, he looked at the dress that was simple and elegant but still elegant.
, and the facial features similar to those of the late emperor and the current saint, how could she not remember them?
"The eldest princess——"
Just when Huichun bowed her head with solemn eyebrows, she felt that the person in front of her had quickly stepped forward, politely helped her up and called her as close as possible: "Chun Niang has not changed, she is the same as before.
"
Looking up, Huichun was startled when he saw the woman's modest smile that was like a spring breeze blowing on her face, as if she had gone back to the past, when she accompanied the eldest princess Chen to stay in the palace before leaving the palace.
Because Chengzu is the eldest son, there is a huge age difference with Chen, the youngest sister of the same mother. Although Chen is now the aunt of the eldest princess of Pengcheng in terms of seniority, in fact, Chen is now thirty-eight years old and is only
She is only three years older than the eldest princess Pengcheng. Compared to the saint who is now twenty-seven years old, Chen can be regarded as an elder who has watched him grow up. But as far as the eldest princess Pengcheng is concerned, the two of them don't get along as well as each other.
